Arrests made in Grube murders

BY ED GEBERT DHI Correspondent stated that the investigation is continuing. Investigators are still seeking at least one more suspect in the case. Like Ive said from the beginning, Grey stated, Its only halftime right now. Weve made an arrest but the goal wasnt an arrest; the goal is a conviction. During the investigation, authorities served 179 subpoenas and search warrants and conducted 329 interviews with 268 different people. During those interviews, we were able to put people in that we were curious about, and looking through the information that we got from court orders and search warrants we were also able to eliminate some people, stated Grey. Sanders faces multiple charges of aggravated murder, murder, involuntary manslaughter, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and theft. The case is more complicated since Sanders was 17 years old at the time of the murders. Grey noted that the case against Sanders will have to begin in juvenile court due to the suspects age. Efforts are in process to bring Sanders back to the County.

Council OKs extension for new storm sewer

BY STEPHANIE GROVES sgroves@delphosherald.com OTTOVILLE The main topic on village councils agenda Monday night was addressing up and coming construction and demolition projects slated to begin this year. Council, along with Brian Goubeaux of Choice One Engineering, discussed the Auglaize Street reconstruction project and addressed the specifications to rectify drainage problems in the immediate area of construction. This includes redirecting the runoff with outlets and getting the water back to the river or creating a catch basin to absorb the overages. One of the problems with the ongoing poor drainage is one of the storm pipes is a 12-inch diameter pipe and should be 18 and another should be 24-inch rather than the smaller diameter. Goubeaux and Street Supervisor Barry Koester inspected and walked the 15-inch and 18-inch storm tile area looking for any problems. To test the systems structural integrity, they performed an evaluation to detect leaks in the system. We ran 15,000 gallons of water and used fluorescent green dye tablets, Koester explained. We found no issues. Even though there are other utilities running through the alley fiber optic, gas, telephone and septic lines the most feasible option is to lay the new sewer line in at the alley. Lets just go through the alley, Mayor Ron Miller insisted. Lets get it [the storm sewer] done. In addition, the new storm

The new storm line will be accessible to everyone, Miller was enthusiastic. Well give them good drainage and outlets. In the near future, council and Goubeaux will schedule an open house style meeting and invite residents to discuss project and/or address concerns. In old business, council members approved razing the Church Street house, which Park Board members wanted to salvage for storage purposes. The structure requires an enormous amount of work prior to being used. Miller explained the first known modification is to remove the asbestos shingles and then replace the missing foundation or fill in the basement. Attached to the house is a structurally sound garage which will be used for storage. Demolition has not been scheduled. In new business, Jeanne Wannemacher asked council to approve $2,000 from the general fund for the semiannual water fund and $3,000 for the sewer reserve. Wannemacher also reported that Real Waste will soon be replacing the roll-away green trash can residents use for refuse. In the BPA report, members disclosed that a quarry pump by the lift station failed and it will cost close to $2,100 to replace. In the mean time, a spare pump is being used.

McCain, other US senators to tour Mexico border

BY CRISTINA SILVA The Associated Press PHOENIX A group of U.S. senators who will be influential in shaping and negotiating details of an immigration reform package is traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona to get a firsthand look at issues affecting the region. Republican Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona were expected to tour the border today with Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colorado. They are all members of the socalled Gang of Eight a bipartisan group that has spent recent weeks trying to craft proposed immigration legislation. The trip comes as Congress is in recess and as the lawmakers wrap up a bill designed to secure the border and put 11 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship. President Barack Obama has urged Congress to pass immigration reform this year, and border security is critical to McCain and other Republicans who contend that some areas along the border are far from secure. I wish every member of the United States Senate and Congress could see the border,

McCain told reporters in Phoenix on Monday. Only when you can see the expanse, the difficulties and the challenges of the border, can you really appreciate the need for our border security. With top Republicans and Democrats focused on the issue, immigration reform faces its best odds in years. The proposed legislation will likely put illegal immigrants on a 13-year path to citizenship and would install new criteria for border security, allow more high- and low-skilled workers to come to the U.S. and hold businesses to tougher standards on verifying their workers are in the country legally. McCain sought to lower expectations for the bill Monday during a town hall in Phoenix. He told immigration activists they wouldnt be completely happy with the measure and warned that the group must overcome difficult disagreements. Weve made progress in a number of areas that I am encouraged by, but there are still areas that we are not in agreement, he said. McCain said the lawmakers had reached an agreement on protections for young illegal immigrants brought to the country as children and on visas for workers, but declined to provide specifics.

If the village does not sign the contract, technically they [Ottawa firefighters] do not have to come. If signed and they are called, the homeowner is liable for the costs and will have to claim it on their insurance. If a homeowner has no insurance, the village foots the bill.

Health overhaul could hike Ohio claims cost 81%

BY ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio Medical claims costs in Ohio could jump an average 81 percent for individual policy holders by 2017 under the federal health care law, a study released Tuesday by the nations leading group of financial risk analysts says. The cost of medical claims is the biggest driver of health insurance premiums. Nationally, claims costs are expected to rise an average 32 percent per person in the individual health insurance market by 2017. The Society of Actuaries report said the increase will largely be due to people in poorer health joining the individual insurance pool. The study looked at medical claims costs in individual health insurance markets, where people purchase coverage directly from insurers. It does not project claims costs for employer plans, which cover most workers and their families. Ohios insurance director, Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, said the estimates are in line with the findings that a consulting firm prepared for the state. Unfortunately, we are anticipating big increases in the market, Taylor said in an AP interview. Thats something we have been concerned about. Should Ohio not move forward with Medicaid expansion, the cost increase could be a tad larger, about 82 percent. In either case, state officials have blamed the federal law for anticipated spikes in costs because they say Ohios market hasnt been bogged down by mandates and is served by dozens of insurance carriers whose competition keeps costs down. Republican Gov. John Kasich has proposed expanding Medicaid, and his administration has weighed the potential cost increases to cover an additional thousands of low-income Ohioans. Its clearly not going to fix the problem, but its one of the ways

STATE/LOCAL

There would be no difference in the impact on insurance premiums if the state were running the exchange. Because the insurance companies have to comply with the new federal mandates and the new federal rules with every health insurance product that they sell.

DeWine: veterans funds misused

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says misappropriation of millions in charitable funds held by three veterans services organizations led to an agreement with the groups to prevent misuse of money for veterans services such as career training. DeWine says the agreement with AMVETS Department of Ohio, Ohio AMVETS Career Center and AMVETS Department of Ohio Service Foundation came after his office found charitable funds used for noncharitable purposes. While AMVETS posts legally must pay 25 percent of gaming profits to a public charity, DeWine says AmVets Career Center sent some of that back to posts to operate satellite career centers that were often facades. The agreement requires new accounting practices and removal of some personnel. The AMVETS Department state commander says they are changing practices and appreciate DeWines support.

BRIEFS

Ohio begins 1st observance of Vietnam Veterans Day

BY LISA CORNWELL The Associated Press CINCINNATI Tom Burke returned home from military service in the Vietnam War and was scorned and even spit upon by war protesters. More than 40 years later, he is proudly taking part in Ohios first observance of the states Vietnam Veterans Day, which he and other veterans sought for years. Many Vietnam veterans have waited a long time for something that validates their service, said Burke, who has vivid memories of protesters spitting on his uniform after he returned home. Back then, the war and the warriors got blurred, and unfortunately the warrior became the war for some. But Burke thinks the country has learned the difference. He joined other veterans in Columbus on Tuesday to open the display of a traveling replica of the Vietnam War Memorial wall at the Ohio History Center. The ceremony began four days of commemorative events. The week shouldnt just be somber but also joyful for those who came home, Retired Air Force Col. Tom Moe, director of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services, said in a telephone interview Tuesday, recounting what he told veterans and others at the event. He also told the standing-roomonly crowd, If you havent heard it before, thank you. The actual date of Vietnam Veterans Day is March 30, but commemorative events were being held early to avoid conflicting with Easter weekend. A remembrance ceremony will end the display of The Wall that Heals replica Friday. Other events include panel discussions on the war and its aftermath, a Statehouse exhibit emphasizing Ohioans role in the war and a ceremony Thursday at the Statehouse. Moe said the veterans day wasnt approved without controversy. Burke, president of the Buckeye State Council of Vietnam Veterans of America, and other veterans began lobbying for it in 2009, and Moe started gauging veterans views on it when he took office in 2010. He says an estimated 300,000 of Ohios 867,000 current veterans served during the time of the Vietnam War. Some questioned whether the day was needed, with a national Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Vietnam veteran Harry Prestanski, of West Chester near Cincinnati, said that was his view until he talked with other veterans and decided it was a way to welcome home those who never felt welcomed. Prestanski mostly received support upon returning home, but said he heard the word baby killer once and someone threw ink or dye on his uniform at an airport. State officials say Ohio is one of about 35 states with an official Vietnam Veterans Day. There is no permanent day nationally, although President Barack Obama proclaimed a Vietnam Veterans Day on March 29, 2012, to mark last years 50th anniversary of the war. But Burke is satisfied that at least Ohio is recognizing the sacrifices of those who served in Vietnam.

The Obama administration questioned the design of the Society of Actuaries study, saying it focused only on one piece of the puzzle and ignored cost relief strategies in the law, such as tax credits to help people afford premiums and special payments to insurers who attract an outsize share of the sick. The study also doesnt take into account the potential price-cutting effect of competition in new state insurance markets that will go live Oct. 1, administration officials said. Ohio has opted to let the federal government run its new insurance marketplace, also called an exchange. The state plans to keep its authority to regulate health plans in and out of the exchange, but leave it to Washington to run. Taylor, a Republican, has been the states most vocal critic of the federal Affordable Care Act. She said the anticipated spike in claims costs would be the same even if the state were running its own exchange. There would be no difference in the impact on insurance premi-

ums if the state were running the exchange, she said. Because the insurance companies have to comply with the new federal mandates and the new federal rules with every health insurance product that they sell. She said the best way to address the potential jump in claims costs would be for the federal government to allow states the flexibility to come up with their own solutions. More than 1.5 million Ohio residents are uninsured, or about 14 percent. A report prepared for the Ohio Department of Insurance by consulting firm Milliman Inc. estimated that 524,000 Ohioans would be enrolled in the exchange designed for individuals by 2017. According to the Milliman report, a healthy young man in the individual market could experience a rate increase of between 90 percent and 130 percent, while a 60-year-old with chronic health conditions may see a significant premium decrease.

Amish lose fight with county over outhouses

KENTON (AP) Over the pleas of the local Amish community, a northwest Ohio health board decided to go ahead with plans to condemn two newly constructed Amish homes because they dont have required septic systems for their outhouses. More than 100 Amish turned out Tuesday night to ask the Kenton-Hardin County Board of Health to reconsider the condemnation order, which requires that the homes be brought into compliance or the families move out. Last summer, the health board said it would start enforcing rules that any new home must have a proper well and septic system something the simple-living, outhouseusing Amish have never had to do. Health inspectors have not forced existing Amish homes to change. Around 200 Amish families live in Hardin County. At issue are rules that require concrete, watertight pits under outhouses and the waste hauled away. The Amish, who turn their backs on modern technology, want to continue digging their own pits and spreading the waste on the land. The Columbus Dispatch reported that on Tuesday night, Henry Yoder read a letter signed by the Hardin County Amish communitys seven bishops asking the board to reconsider its orders. Yoder owns one of the houses that are not in compliance. Our goal is to uphold and maintain the biblical principles of faith which our forefathers believed: to be a separate people, Yoder read. And, as stated in Romans 12th chapter, Be ye not conformed ... . County Prosecutor Brad Bailey said the issue is bigger

Budget chief: income tax cut remains on table

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio Gov. John Kasich wants to cut tax rates on incomes and small businesses, and his administration is open to suggestions from lawmakers about how to do it, the states budget director said Tuesday. Budget Director Tim Keen said in an interview with The Associated Press that based on discussions hes had with legislative leaders, he believes the income tax cuts will remain in the budget. His comments come as the Republican-controlled Ohio House is preparing its changes to Kasichs $63.2 billion twoyear state budget proposal. The first year of the two-year period begins July 1. Kasich, a Republican, campaigned in 2010 on a pledge to reduce Ohios income tax. With re-election just a year away, he would have to make that happen in the budget currently in the works. Kasichs plan would lower the states income tax 20 percent over three years and reduce the tax rates on consumer sales and small businesses. Hes proposed doing so by raising the severance tax on large-scale oil and gas drilling and by applying sales taxes to a new list of services as varied as the services offered by lawyers, accountants, amusement parks and rock concerts.

than just two homes. Leeching and contamination from the human waste and bad wells can reach the water table and hurt others, he said. Our rules at the health department are to prevent problems before they happen, not to react to them, he said. After more than two hours of testimony from health officials, the boards eight members didnt change their minds. They reaffirmed the orders to condemn the homes that they initially issued in January. Now, the families can dig proper wells and install approved concrete pits under their outhouses, appeal the orders to the Hardin County Common Pleas Court, or move. Our goal is to live simple, God-fearing lives, and we feel your requirements are undermining our simple way of life, Yoder said, reading from the bishops letter. Our plea is to live in peace among our fellow citizens and maintain our lifestyles on our own personal properties unless it is definitely proven we are a health hazard to our neighbors.

The Marion Township Trustees held their regular scheduled meeting on Monday at the Marion Township Office with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Howard Violet and Jerry Gilden. The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The Trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 13 checks totaling $19,396.95. Road Foreman Elwer advised that the Road and Sign Inventory for March have been completed. A property owner in the Redd Road and Old Delphos Road area question a catch basin that is higher than a field tile going onto it. After some discussion regarding this Trustee Violet said he would contact the individual regarding this issue.

Fiscal Officer Kimmet read a letter from the Department of Commerce regarding Liquor Permit renewals. The Trustees and Police Chief had no objection to these permits being renewed so no action need be taken. Kimmet gave the Trustees a preliminary copy of an employees handbook to be review. Fred Calvelage was present to discuss the Moving Ohio Forward Grant. After some discussion Fred said he would be interested and Trustee Gilden will get the application and make sure everything is within compliance. Trustee Youngpeter asked Fred about the water issue on Dogleg Road and after some discussion Fred and Road Foreman Elwer will shoot a grade to see where exactly the low spot is to determine where the French drain needs to be. There being no further business a motion to adjourn by Trustee Gilden was seconded by Trustee Violet and passed unanimously.

Editors Note: Rhubarb is by far the most-searched recipe topic on the website during March and April, so since everyone is wild about rhubarb, we are offering these recipes and thoughts from Lovina about this spring staple, from our Amish Cooks Baking Book. Rhubarb finds its way into so many baked goods. It just adds a nice, tart taste to everything. Mom baked with her homegrown rhubarb often and she never had trouble growing rhubarb. If you want to start your own rhubarb patch, plant the rhubarb one year and then use it the second year. I have always done this and always had good luck. You dont use the rhubarb for a year so that you can give the plants time to develop strong roots. I got my starts from a lady in church and just planted a whole row of them and every year, they get fuller and spread out more. I plant my rhubarb in full sun because I dont think the plants do as well in the shade. A lot of times people will plant them right at the edge of their garden. We do this and also put horse manure around the plants in the spring, which seems to help them grow. The rhubarb is one of the first goodies ready to be harvested in the spring and this recipe is a great way to starting using it.

crumbs evenly over the filling. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 minutes. When I was growing up, we would have rhubarb shortcake a lot of times right out of the oven for supper in the evenings. Mom would sprinkle sugar and cold milk on top. We never had it for breakfast unless it was left over. My dad wouldnt put milk on it; he would just eat it warm. I have fixed rhubarb shortcake for my children many times, and some like it more than others. If we have ice cream in the freezer, they would prefer that ice cream be served with it. We never had that choice growing up. They dont act like they care for the milk on the rhubarb like I did when I was younger. The children do really like rhubarb juice and jam.

BracketRacket: A bookstore, a reunion and a mamba

By JOHN MARSHALL The Associated Press Welcome back to BracketRacket, the one-stop shopping place for all your NCAA needs. Todays edition includes the mad rush at Florida Gulf Coasts bookstore, a Plumlee family reunion and Nate Silvers reconfigured odds for the 16 teams left in the field. And, for your viewing pleasure, a little dance move weve called the (Gregg) Marshall Mamba.
$115,000, over $100,000 more than a year ago. The womens team has gotten a nice boost in popularity as well, sales of their teams gear at over $34,000 after hitting just over $5,000 last year. The schools websites also have seen a huge uptick in traffic during the Eagles run. The daily unique visitors to www.fgcu.edu barely eclipsed 50,000 even after FGCU made it into the NCAA tournament but was over 230,000 on Monday. The athletics website, www. fgcuathletics.com, had a dramatic jump as well, climbing over 117,000 unique visitors after hovering under 10,000 before the weekend. Oh, and the Eagles seem to have some strong support in Alaska, at least to an ESPN SportsNation poll: http://bit. ly/15SgVEP FAMILY REUNION: Miles Plumlee spent most of his rookie season bouncing from the NBAs Indiana Pacers to the D-Leagues Fort Wayne Mad Ants and back. Now hes hitting the road again at the wrong time for an impromptu family reunion. His two younger brothers, Mason and Marshall, will be in town for Thursday nights NCAA Midwest Regional, playing for second-seeded Duke against No. 3 Michigan State at Lucas Oil Stadium. Im excited for them but Im a little upset were not playing any home games this week, Miles told AP Sports Writer Michael Marot after Tuesdays Pacers practice. About an hour after practice, Miles left with the team headed to Houston for its first stop on a 4-game road trip that runs through the rest of the regional round. The rest of the Plumlees will likely converge on his hometown while the oldest brother is gone. I have no idea whos coming but a lot of the family is coming. We still have a lot of family here, Miles added. Im so proud of him (Mason). Hes put in a lot of work since his freshman year and now you can see how hes grown. SILVERS ODDS: Statistical guru Nate Silver has recalculated the odds for the final 16 teams in the NCAA tournament. Why do you care what he thinks? Well, the man from the FiveThirtyEight blog had his statistics dialed in the past two presidential elections, nailing all 50 states in the most recent one while calling nearly every Senate race. Hes turned his critical eye toward the NCAA bracket and came up with new odds now that the field has pared down. Louisville is still the favorite, its odds up to 32.4 percent from 23.8 percent. Next in line is Florida, which jumped eight points to 21.3 percent and leapfrogged Indiana, which dropped nearly eight points from 18.4. Florida Gulf Coast has better odds of winning now that the No. 15 seed has reached the Sweet 16 but not much the Eagles are up to 0.02 percent after starting at 0.001. See Silvers analysis here: http://nyti.ms/10F5Irz WHAT DOES A GUY GOTTA DO?: Used to be that getting to the NCAA tournament was a huge goal for a basketball program. These days, its not always good enough. On Monday, UCLAs Ben Howland and Minnesotas Tubby Smith were fired after leading their teams to the field of 68. Howland had a 10-year run in Westwood, going 233-107 while making three consecutive Final Four appearances and winning four Pac-12 titles. The Bruins were the regular-season champions this season and went 25-10 but lost to Minnesota by 20 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Smith, who won a national championship with Kentucky in 1998, was fired Monday after the Gophers lost to Florida in the NCAAs third round. He went 12481 in six seasons at Minnesota, helping to bring the program back to respectability after it was hit hard by an academic cheating scandal. Now both coaches are looking for jobs. STAT OF THE DAY: Ratings for the first week of the NCAA tournament were the highest in 15 years. Turns out, youre watching online, too. NCAA March Madness Live, managed by Turner Sports, set all-time marks by getting 36.6 million live video streams and more than 10 million hours of live video across online and mobile platforms during the opening weekend on the NCAA tournament. The live video streams doubled from last year and the live video time is up 198 percent. Thats a lot of tablets and smartphones tuned in to the tournament. QUOTE OF THE DAY: He is an avid physical fitness freak. Thats probably a reason why his back situation is what it is today. He would run 20 miles at a time. The physical condition that he is in is amazing to this day. I wouldve been the opposite, I wouldve been doing whatever Im supposed to do other than that. In a funny way, that combination made us get along so well. Arizona Sean Miller on Ohio State coach Thad Matta, whom he calls one of his closest friends in coaching.

The Associated Press BATON ROUGE, La. Adrienne Webb pumped a fist in the air as she was lifted up by teammate Theresa Plaisance, basking in the wild cheers of the heavily pro-LSU crowd. With the best shooting night of her career and a relentless effort on defense, the feisty senior guard helped send LSU through to the regional semifinals for the first time since 2008. Webb scored a careerhigh 29 points, including two crucial free throws with 22 seconds left, and LSU upset third-seeded Penn State 71-66 in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Tuesday night. Webb also defended Big Ten player of the year Maggie Lucas and helped hold her to 2-for-10 shooting. Bianca Lutley overcame foul trouble and scored 18 points, including a tough floater in traffic in the final minute to give LSU the lead and added another key free throw to make it a four-point game with 8.3 seconds to go. Webb was 10-of-16 in what would have been her last game had No. 6 seed

LSU (22-11) lost. Instead, she carried LSU to a Spokane Regional semifinal against California on a night when the Lady Tigers had only seven available players. Nikki Greene had 16 points and 16 rebounds and Alex Bentley scored 14 for Penn State (26-6), whose loss meant all four No. 3 seeds were out of the tournament. Its the first time in a decade that none of the four thirdseeded teams made it to the Sweet 16. In Tuesdays other games:
With mens coach Rick Pitino watching from the stands, Antonita Slaughter scored 14 of her 16 points in the first half for the fifth-seeded Cardinals (26-8).

BRIDGEPORT REGIONAL DELAWARE 78, NORTH CAROLINA 69 NEWARK, Del. Elena Delle Donne scored 33 points in her final home game and Delaware rallied past foul-plagued North Carolina to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in school history. The sixth-seeded Blue Hens (32-3) trailed 50-42 with 15:31 left before coming back to extend their school-record winning streak to 27 games and eliminate No. 3 seed North Carolina (29-7). Delaware will travel to Connecticut to face second-seeded Kentucky in the Bridgeport Regional semifinals Saturday. Vice President Joe Biden was among those in the second straight sellout crowd at Delawares compact arena. Waltiea Rolle scored 23 points for the Tar Heels but the 6-6 senior was in foul trouble for much of the second half and finally picked up her fifth with 4:08 left. KENTUCKY 84, DAYTON 70 NEW YORK Adia Mathies followed the worst game of her career with one of her best, matching a personal high with 34 points to lead second-seeded Kentucky over seventhseeded Dayton.

OKLAHOMA CITY REGIONAL BAYLOR 85, FLORIDA STATE 47 WACO, Texas Brittney Griner provided a most appropriate goodbye in her final home game for Baylor: a trio of dunks and another doubledouble. Griner had 33 points and a careerhigh 22 rebounds to go with her three highlight dunks to lead the defending national champions to victory. With former President George W. Bush in the crowd packed into the Ferrell Center to bid Griner farewell, the 6-8 2-time All-American delivered. The top-seeded Lady Bears (34-1) are in the round of 16 for the fourth year in a row.

The Associated Press SOCCER MEXICO CITY Brad Guzan swatted away shot after shot and the Americans hung on for a 0-0 draw with Mexico on Tuesday night, earning only their second point in a World Cup qualifier at Azteca Stadium. Its always going to be a bit hectic and a bit crazy, especially late in the game, Guzan said. Youre never going to come to a place like Azteca and go out and have it nice and easy. So we knew at some point, it was going to come, the pressure was going to come, and we were able to deal with it. The tie moved the U.S. (1-1-1) into third place in World Cup qualifying for the North and Central American and Caribbean region after three of 10 matches, one point behind Panama and behind Costa Rica on goal difference. The Americans and Costa Ricans both have four points but the Ticos are ahead on goal difference. Mexico coach Manuel de la Torre is sure to come under fire after a third straight draw, which dropped El Tri (0-0-3) to second-to-last place in the standings. Mexico had plenty of chances with a whopping 17-1 advantage in shots but El Tri was plagued by poor finishing and dismal execution on set pieces. LONDON World Cup champion Spain put its title defense back on track by beating France to seize control of its qualifying group, while Germany and the Netherlands claimed big victories to push them closer to the finals in Brazil.

Pedro Rodriguez scored the goal that secured a 1-0 victory for Spain in Paris, lifting the reigning champions out of a slump following back-to-back draws. France, which had Paul Pogba sent off when already trailing, fell a point behind Spain in Group I. Germany surged eight points ahead in Group C by beating Kazakhstan 4-1, while the Netherlands maintained its perfect run in qualifying with a 4-0 rout of Romania. The Dutch now lead Group D by seven points. Italy remained unbeaten, with Mario Balotellis double giving the Italians a 2-0 victory in Malta and a three-point lead over Bulgaria in Group B. England stumbled again, drawing 1-1 at Group H leader Montenegro to remain two points back PRO FOOTBALL SOUTH BEND, Ind. Former Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo ended a trying three months by putting up a respectable 40-yard dash time. Some had expressed concern whether Teo could be an every-down back in the NFL after he was timed at 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the combine in Indianapolis. But he was timed at 4.69 seconds at Notre Dames indoor practice facility on his pro day workout in front of scouts from 27 of the 32 NFL teams, attributing the improvement to being more comfortable at home and around friends. He also bench-pressed 225 pounds 21 times and ran the 60-yard shuttle in 11.78 seconds while letting his other performances at the combine stand.

nine assists. Greg Monroe had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Detroit, while point guard Jose Calderon scored 14 points but only had one assist. MAVERICKS 109, CLIPPERS 102 DALLAS Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-high 33 points, including the first eight in overtime, and Dallas beat one of the top four teams in the Western Conference for the first time this season. Chris Paul also had a season-high 33 for the Clippers. The Mavericks improved to 1-11 against the top four teams in the West and pulled within a game of the Lakers for the final playoff spot. Nowitzki put Dallas ahead for good at 101-100 on a jumper and the Clippers went 4 minutes without a field goal in overtime. The game went to overtime after a wild final 5 seconds in regulation starting with a go-ahead layup by Paul. O.J. Mayo answered when he slipped the ball in from behind the backboard to tie the score at 97-all with 0.6 seconds left.

CLEVELAND The Cleveland Browns have signed free-agent QB Jason Campbell to a 2-year contract, bringing in the veteran to provide competition for Brandon Weeden. Campbell, a first-round pick by Washington in 2005, has started 77 games and thrown 76 touchdowns during his NFL career. He played his first five seasons with the Redskins before he was traded to Oakland in 2010. Campbell spent two seasons with the Raiders. AUSTIN, Texas Vince Young picked familiar ground in trying to revive his NFL career. The quarterback used pro timing day workouts at the University of Texas to throw passes for scouts from dozens of teams. Seven years earlier, Young used the same venue to make his case as top quarterback in the draft. On Tuesday, he was trying to convince someone that hes worthy of a roster spot. OWINGS MILLS, Md. Threetime Pro Bowl defensive end Elvis Dumervil says he left the Denver Broncos for the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens because he was looking to play for a winner in a different city. Dumervil passed his physical and signed a 5-year contract with the Ravens. The 6-foot, 260-pounder was introduced at a news conference. GOLF NEW YORK Maybe winning doesnt take care of everything. Nike is causing a social media storm with its latest online ad showing a picture of Tiger Woods overlaid with

a quote from him, Winning takes care of everything. The ad, posted on Facebook and Twitter, is supposed to allude to the fact that the golfer recovered from career stumbles to regain his world No. 1 ranking on Monday, which he lost in October 2010. But some say its inappropriate in light of Woods past marital woes. Its the latest controversy from the athletic giant who has recently had to cut ties with biker Lance Armstrong and runner Oscar Pistorius due to separate scandals. HUMBLE, Texas Rory McIlroy sent a text message to Tiger Woods, congratulating him on winning at Bay Hill and taking over the No. 1 world ranking again. Woods responded by telling McIlroy to get going and win this weeks Houston Open. A win would put McIlroy back at No. 1, a spot he held for 32 weeks before Woods latest win. AUTO RACING CHARLOTTE, N.C. Denny Hamlin will be sidelined at least six weeks because of a fractured vertebra sustained in a last-lap crash at California. Hamlin was evaluated by Dr. Jerry Petty of Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates. While it was determined Hamlin wont need surgery, the L1 compression fracture in his lower back needs time to heal. NASCAR wont penalize Tony Stewart for scuffling with Joey Logano on pit road at California and saw nothing to indicate Logano or Hamlin were trying to intentionally wreck each other as they raced for the win.

DURBAN, South Africa (AP) South Africa signed a raft of agreements with Russia and China on Tuesday, from maintenance for Russian helicopters in Africa to exchanges of solar and nuclear technology, as leaders of the five-nation BRICS forum of emerging market powers prepared to strengthen cooperation and reduce dependence on the West. Leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa the five countries that the World Bank says are driving global economic growth arrived in South Africas coastal resort of Durban for a two-day summit to start Tuesday evening. Brazil and China signed an agreement Tuesday to do up to $30 billion of trade in their local currencies, a step toward cutting dependence on the U.S. dollar and euro. Brazil Finance Minister Guido Mantega said that would account for nearly half his countrys annual $75 billion trade with Beijing. He said Brazil hopes to promote such arrangements with other countries. President Xi Jiping made the BRICS forum his first summit as Chinas new leader, indicating the weight he gives to the economic bloc that accounts for 27 percent of global purchasing power and 45 percent of the worlds workforce. The World Bank says the BRICS nations are driving 50 percent of global economic growth as Western economies flounder.

DEAR BRUCE: My husband and I are in our BRUCE WILLIAMS 70s. Its a second marriage for both of us, as our previous spouses are deceased. When we married, we agreed in a prenuptial that what each of us brought to the marriage we would keep in case of a divorce. Since then, my husband sold a piece of property and bought the house we now live in. His will states that if he should die, the home we now live in goes to me for as long as I live and then to his children. We had it notarized and signed by two witnesses. My question is, since it was not done by a lawyer, can there ever be a problem with the will? -- S.J., via email DEAR S.J.: I have no problem with giving you life rights on the home. It is appropriate and proper. That having been observed, making these changes to his will without the help of a professional is foolish. The fact that you had it notarized and witnessed can mean little, if anything. This could affect you for many, many years. Why not do it the smart way and have an attorney draw a proper will conveying life rights, etc.? You will both sleep better, and this way there will be no burden on his children to make concessions to you that otherwise they might prefer not to make. DEAR BRUCE: I am a 75-year-old widower. I own my house, and my daughter, who is 53, lives with me. I was thinking of adding my daughters name to the deed and am not sure if this would be a good idea. What are the pros and cons? -Reader, via email DEAR READER: I have said many times that if you put your childs name on the deed to your house and then he or she gets into financial difficulty -- perhaps a severe automobile accident where the insurance is a little thin -- your house could be in jeopardy. I would keep the house in your name and have an attorney draw a will that leaves your property to your daughter upon your demise. DEAR BRUCE: I am 82 years old, and my husband recently passed away. In my will, I am leaving the house to my nephew and niece. I wonder if leaving it in just my name, or my name and my deceased husbands name, will cause them any problems when I pass away? If I remove my husbands name from the deed, will the bank require me to refinance my mortgage? -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: In my opinion, it would be wise to have your husbands name removed from the deed, bank accounts, stock ownership, etc. Having his name on these assets can only confuse things upon your demise. Removing his name should be routine upon presentation of a death certificate, and it should not present any difficulties. Be certain that your will is very specific about your nephew and niece. With regard to the house, you should be specific as to how its disposed of -- very likely sold and the residual amounts divided among your heirs.

powdered Cascade and 1/2 cup of Clorox 2 (or use just OxiClean), then launder as usual. You can also use a mixture of Dawn dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Apply the mixture to the stains, let it set and scrub with a toothbrush. Launder as usual. Place the garment outside in the sun, too. It works as a natural bleach. Dear Sara: Pulverizing spices and herbs? I used my electric minichopper to make celery powder and celery flakes from dehydrated celery. (Basically, what was left after I strained the powder off was what I called flakes and will use for soups, etc.) It worked OK, but it took a good while to do it. What kind of gadget can I use to make celery, onions, dried garlic and bell peppers into powder without so many re-dos? -- S.P., Louisiana Dear S.P.: Id use a mortar and pestle, a pepper mill or a coffee grinder. In some cases, such as for cinnamon, you can use a microplane.

Husband evasive, uninterested when talking about children

Tomorrows Horoscope
THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 2013 The year ahead could have some wonderful, pleasant surprises in store. Your present routines could be substantially changed for the better, pleasantly affecting much in your life. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It isnt likely that youll be deprived of rightful rewards or acknowledgement. You probably wont have to wait until the end of the day to receive them, either. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Simply by adding a new twist to an old routine, you can make things fresh. Dont hesitate to use your imagination to brighten your world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Be alert for a rewarding opportunity to develop in a commercial involvement. Its likely to be fleeting, so be ready to jump on anything thats different. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- As long as there is parity between you and the other party, a friendly agreement will have excellent chances for success. Fairness evokes fairness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being extremely inventive and resourceful, you could come up with a much better method for doing a repetitive task. Dont hesitate to innovate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A well-calculated risk is likely to work out just as you envision it. However, be careful not to press your luck, or the link between you and Lady Luck could snap. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An unusual day is in the making for you. It might involve something from the past reaching a successful conclusion at last. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If a presentation is required in a group endeavor, youre the person to do it. Youll excel at making everyones case. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Conditions in general are extremely encouraging where your material interests are concerned. Gains can be generated from several unexpected sources. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Advancement of your personal interests is a strong possibility. Even if your tactics mystify others, the results will be gratifying. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Usually, it isnt wise to be impulsive, but today your inspirational flashes are likely to be quite good. Dont hesitate to think and act on the fly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An interesting new acquaintance could enter your life. This new friend is likely to be introduced to you by an old pal. COPYRIGHT 2013 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Frankly, we arent sure he will make any effort to stop you. Dear Annie: I have worked in the restaurant industry all of my life. Our place is near a clinic. Its one thing to leave gum under the tables, but I am amazed at the number of people who leave their used bandages, cotton and surgical tape.

High court hears case on federal benefits for gays

BY MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON In the second of backto-back gay marriage cases, the Supreme Court is turning to a constitutional challenge to the law that prevents legally married gay Americans from collecting federal benefits generally available to straight married couples. A section of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act says marriage may only be a relationship between a man and a woman for purposes of federal law, regardless of state laws that allow same-sex marriage. Lower federal courts have struck down the measure, and now the justices, in nearly two hours of scheduled argument today, will consider whether to follow suit. The DOMA argument follows Tuesdays case over Californias ban on same-sex marriage, a case in which the justices indicated they might avoid a major national ruling on whether Americas gays and lesbians have a right to marry. Even without a significant ruling, the court appeared headed for a resolution that would mean the resumption of gay and lesbian weddings in California. Marital status is relevant in more than 1,100 federal laws that include estate taxes, Social Security survivor benefits and health benefits for federal employees. Lawsuits around the country have led four federal district courts and two appeals courts to strike down the laws Section 3, which defines marriage. In 2011, the Obama administration abandoned its defense of the law but continues to enforce it. House Republicans are now defending DOMA in the courts. Same-sex marriage is legal in nine states and the District of Columbia. The states are Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont and Washington. It also was legal in California for less than five months in 2008. The justices chose for their review the case of Edith Windsor, 83, of New York, who sued to challenge a $363,000 federal estate tax bill after her partner of 44 years died in 2009. Windsor, who goes by Edie, married Thea Spyer in 2007 in Canada after doctors told them that Spyer would not live much longer. She suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years. Spyer left everything she had to Windsor. There is no dispute that if Windsor had been married to a man, her estate tax bill would have been zero. The U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York agreed with a district judge that the provision of DOMA deprived Windsor of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the law. Like the Proposition 8 case from California, Windsors lawsuit could falter on a legal technicality without a definitive ruling from the high court.

David Petraeus apologizes for conduct, affair

BY JOHN ROGERS and SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER The Associated Press LOS ANGELES David Petraeus apologized Tuesday night to an audience of veterans for the conduct that led to his resignation as head of the CIA following the disclosure of an extramarital affair. Needless to say, I join you keenly aware that I am regarded in a different light now than I was a year ago, Petraeus said. I am also keenly aware that the reason for my recent journey was my own doing. So please allow me to begin my remarks this evening by reiterating how deeply I regret and apologize for the circumstances that led to my resignation from the CIA and caused such pain for my family, friends and supporters. Dressed in a civilians dark suit and red tie, Petraeus gave his first public speech since his resignation to about 600 people, including many uniformed and decorated veterans at the University of Southern Californias annu-

Disabled surfers brave the waves in Brazil

BY JENNY BARCHFIELD The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO One minute, Renata Glasner is watching the waves crash on Leblon beach from her wheelchair. The next, shes plowing through the turbulent waters, riding the choppy waves on a specially adapted surfboard. Glasner, a 35-year-old graphic designer who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis four years ago, is one of dozens of disabled people on this special strip of Rio de Janeiro beach who are conquering the waves. Men and women with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, people missing a limb, the blind, the deaf and even the paralyzed all hit the waves here. They all require a different kind of assistance depending on their disabilities and maneuver their boards in different ways some standing, some on their knees, others like Glasner flat on their bellies and using their body weight to steer the boards. But every one of them emerges from the ocean beaming. The taste of salt water has no price, said Glasner, who began to lose control over her legs shortly after the birth of her first child and now requires a helper to hoist her from her amphibious wheelchair onto the surfboard. Its the taste of freedom. After youre diagnosed with a disease like mine, you cant even imagine youre ever again going to experience that taste. Glasner is able to savor that experience on a weekly basis thanks to AdaptSurf, a Rio-based non-governmental organization that aims to make beaches accessible to the disabled and encourage them to practice water sports. In a country where the lack of ramps and working elevators, the shoddy state of sidewalks and the shortage of pedestrian crossings make just leaving home risky for many disabled people, lobbying for their beach accessibility may seem like something of a frivolity.

The House Republicans, the Obama administration and a lawyer appointed by the court especially to argue the issue were to spend the first 50 minutes today discussing whether the House Republican leadership can defend the law in court because the administration decided not to, and whether the administration forfeited its right to participate in the case because it changed its position and now argues that the provision is unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court finds that it does not have the authority to hear the case, Windsor probably would still get her refund because she won in the lower courts. But there would be no definitive decision about the law from the nations highest court, and it would remain on the books. On Tuesday, the justices weighed a fundamental issue: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partners gender?

States answer help wanted ad to be drone test site

BY ALICIA CHANG The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Its the land where Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, where the space shuttle fleet rolled off the assembly line and where the first private manned rocketship climbed to space. Capitalizing on Southern Californias aerospace fortunes, two rival groups want to add another laurel: drone test range. They face crowded competition. In search of an economic boost, more than half the country is looking toward the sky expected to be buzzing in the near future with pilotless aircraft. Before that can become reality, the Federal Aviation Administration last month put out a call to test fly drones at half a dozen to-bedetermined sites before they can share the same space as commercial jetliners, small aircraft and helicopters. Fifty teams from 37 states answered, vying to win bragging rights as a hub for unmanned aerial vehicles. The military has long flown drones overseas to support troops, spy on enemies and fire missiles. Theres a recent clamor to fly them domestically to track the health of crops, fight wildfires in remote terrain, conduct search and rescue after a disaster and perform other chores considered too dirty, dull or dangerous for pilots. The expanding use for drones comes amid concerns of a Big Brother society. The untapped civilian market estimated to be worth billions has created a face-off, with states perfecting their pitch ample restricted airspace, industry connections, academic partners not unlike what you might read in a tourism brochure.

North Korea says it will cut key military hotline

SEOUL, South Korea North Korea said today that it had cut off a key military hotline with South Korea that allows cross border travel to a jointly run industrial complex in the North, a move that ratchets up already high tension and possibly jeopardizes the last major symbol of inter-Korean cooperation. North Korea recently cut a Red Cross hotline with South Korean and another with the U.S.-led U.N. command at the border between the Koreas, but theres still a hotline linking aviation authorities in the North and South. North Koreas chief delegate to inter-Korean military made the announcement today in a statement sent to his South

of what may be the next big business, said Peter Singer, a robotics expert at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington. Supporters of a Southern California test site point to an existing drone presence. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., based in the San Diego suburbs, makes the Predator that has circled over Iraq and Afghanistan. Just outside of downtown Los Angeles, AeroVironment introduced the worlds first hummingbird spy plane and is developing other tiny drones inspired by biology. There are two competing California bids from airport agencies in Ventura County northwest of Los Angeles and Kern County in the Mojave Desert. Their in-state competitor envisions test flights out of the high desert skies about 150 miles north of Los Angeles and touts its remoteness and access to military and civilian facilities currently doing drone research. Other states have taken a different tact, putting on a united front or partnering with a neighboring state to pool resources. Ohio the home state of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong, Mercury astronaut John Glenn and the Wright brothers teamed with Indiana to increase both states odds. Like California, there is budding drone activity in Ohio, most notably the Air Forces sensor research at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Joseph Zeis of the Dayton Development Coalition doesnt see this as a competition. When the test site selection is over, were all collaborating on a single goal to safely merge drones into the national airspace, said Zeis, whos spearheading the Ohio-Indiana venture. The FAA is expected to choose the six drone test sites by years end. Korean counterpart. The hotline is important because the Koreas use it to communicate as hundreds of workers travel back and forth to the Kaesong industrial complex. South Korean officials say more than 900 South Korean workers were in Kaesong today. There was no immediate word about how cutting the communications link would affect their travel back to South Korea.

But in Brazil, with its nearly 4,660 milelong (7,500 kilometer-long) coastline, the beach is center stage for social interactions of all sorts: Its largely there that families reunite, that friendships are forged, that couples come together or dissolve and deals are struck. For the disabled to be deprived of the physical benefits of the beach and also all the socializing that goes on there is doubly isolating, says AdaptSurf co-founder Henrique Saraiva. Imagine, youre in a country thats surrounded by beaches, where the beach is an almost mystical place. But when youre confined to a chair, the farthest you can get is the sidewalk, and you sit there sweating under the sun and watching everyone play in the water, said Saraiva. Its the most supremely frustrating experience. He and two friends created the organization in 2007, some 10 years after a mugging left him partially paralyzed. An extended hospitalization, a series of surgeries and months of uncertainty followed, with doctors unable to predict whether Saraiva would ever walk again. But the intense physical therapy sessions paid off and Saraiva eventually traded his wheelchair for the crutches that he still uses to get around. Despite his badly atrophied right leg, Saraiva pulled out his old board and tried to surf again. It was magical. The water is the one place where I can forget about my handicap, said Saraiva. Its the one place where I can feel like Im just one of the guys, just like everybody else. In a bid to share that experience with others, Saraiva founded AdaptSurf with the help of two friends. Similar organizations already existed in other places with vibrant beach cultures, such as California and Australia, but Saraiva says AdaptSurf was the first of its kind in Brazil. And it convenes every Saturday and Sunday of the year, weather permitting, he added.
