BELLEFONTAINE (AP)
— An Ohio man sentenced
to life in prison for the slay-
ings of his girlfriend’s adult
daughter and an elderly
couple says in his videotaped
confession that he con-
stantly has “evil thoughts”
and thinks about killing.
Samuel K. Littleton II
pleaded guilty to three counts
each of aggravated murder
and gross abuse of a corpse
in a deal with prosecutors
to avoid the death penalty.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the video shows the
37-year-old man sobbing
as investigators showed
him pictures of the elderly
Logan County couple and
asked him to reveal where
their bodies were. The bod-
ies later were found in
Georgia and Tennessee.
When investigators
ask about his girlfriend’s
daughter, Littleton says
he doesn’t know why he
“snapped.” Her body was
found in his basement.

South looks to recover from killer twisters
By EMERY P. DALESIO
and BROCK VERGAKIS
The Associated Press
SANFORD, N.C. —
Lowe’s store manager
Michael Hollowell had heard
the tornado warnings but his
first clue that the danger was
outside his front door came
when he saw his staff running
toward the back of the home
improvement store.
More than 100 employ-
ees and customers screamed
in near unison when the
steel roof curled off over-
head Saturday. The store was
becoming part of the wreck-
age left by a ferocious storm
system bristling with killer
twisters that ripped through
the South.
“You could hear all the
steel ripping. People scream-
ing in fear for their lives,”
Hollowell told The Associated
Press on Sunday.
Those in the store did not
become part of the death toll
that totaled at least 45 across
Kasich’s plan cuts state
payments for child care
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Child care providers in Ohio
would get less money back
from the state for taking care of
children from low-income fam-
ilies under Gov. John Kasich’s
budget plan, leaving them to
trim costs at a time they say
make ends meet.
Still, as the state faces an
shortfall, they say they could
have fared worse.
No child currently enrolled
in the state-supported child
care program would lose the
benefit. But the Republican
ing proposal would scale back
income threshold for new
working families trying to get
into the system.
Providers say that could
make it harder for struggling
families to qualify for the pro-
gram.
“It’s a double-edged
sword,” said Tasha Johnson,
the interim executive director
of the Dayton Christian Center
in Dayton.
Kasich wants to change the
income requirement to 125
percent of the federal poverty
level from 150 percent. That
proposal would mean a family
of four could earn no more than
$27,938 a year to be eligible
for subsidized child care in the
2012 and 2013 budget years.
Currently, the family could
make about $33,525 or less
and qualify.
Kasich’s plan would contin-
on the program until their

$44,700.
“We decided early on that
child care was critical,” Kasich
told reporters after touring a
child care facility in Columbus

US museums face financial woes, get more visitors
BY BRETT ZONGKER
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After
the Great Recession swept
through, the Delaware Art
Museum had laid off half its
staff, cut salaries and lost cru-
cial support from corporations.
Yet attendance was up last
year at the Wilmington muse-
um, reflecting the same trend
museums have seen across the
country because of declining
funding and increased demand
from schools and “staycation-
ers.”
A report being released
today by the American
Association of Museums
shows more than 70 percent
of the nation’s museums were
under financial distress last
year because most saw gov-
ernment and corporate fund-
ing reduced from an already

six states, and officials said
quick action by Hollowell
and his employees helped
them all make it out alive
in Sanford, about 40 miles
south of Raleigh.
In all of Lee County,
where Sanford is located,
officials said there was just
one confirmed fatality dur-
ing the storm, which claimed
at least 21 lives statewide,
damaged hundreds of homes
and left a swath of destruc-
tion unmatched by any spring
storm since the mid-1980s.
In Raleigh early today,
authorities were blocking
access to a mobile home
park of about 200 homes
where three children were
killed. Officials planned to
assess conditions after sun-
rise before deciding whether
to allow residents to return
home.
Power lines and trees still
covered nearby roads. Where
roads were clear, there were
massive piles of debris that
had been pushed to the side
of what we’ve done in the bud-
get is being dropped from the
rolls.”
That’s a relief to parents
such as Kenya Woods, who
receives state-subsidized child
care for her two children.
Woods and her husband
were laid off in 2008. Unable
to make their mortgage pay-
ments or find steady work —
and with their second baby on
the way — they sought help
from the state to lower their
child care payments.
Woods was paying $150 a
week for child care for just her
son but now pays about the
same price for both children
each month.
“There’s a lot of instabil-
ity around us,” said Woods,
41, of Richmond Heights near
Cleveland. “But the one thing
that has been stable is their
daycare. That’s really been our
saving grace.”
Woods now is a dance
instructor for Cleveland public
schools, and her husband, a
truck driver, is searching for
work. She said the state help
has allowed her the time to
work, finish resumes and look
into going back to school while
knowing her children are safe
and receiving good care.
“This has been completely
instrumental,” Woods said. “We
can still work. That’s No. 1.”
While the kids in the state-
supported program could stay
on, providers would see a 7
percent total cut in the rate the
state reimburses them. Not all
facilities would feel the same
reduction because it depends
on the market rates for child
care in their areas.
New rates have yet to be
determined, putting providers
like Johnson in a holding pat-
tern. A 7 percent cut for her cen-
ter would mean about $39,000
fewer state dollars, she said.
bad year in 2009. At the
same time, half of the nearly
400 museums in the survey
reported increased attendance
and educational programs.
The median admission price
remained $7 for adults.
“I think the survey results
show a real commitment to the
work of museums, that people
would rather freeze hiring and
lay off staff than reduce the
service they’re providing to
the American people,” said
Philip Katz, the museum asso-
ciation’s assistant director for
research.
For many, budgets contin-
ued to decline for 2011.
Six years ago, the Delaware
museum had a staff of 65 and
regularly hosted traveling art
shows. But a sharp decline in
corporate donations has meant
cuts beyond its staff size. In
2008, the museum canceled

They took shelter in their

For the Maryland Science

have been declines across the
board. The biggest hit came
when the city and surrounding
counties eliminated funding
streams and the state slashed its
annual contribution. Over the
past three years, the museum
lost $586,000 in government
funding. State lawmakers cut
funding by half to $588,000
this year.
The state support allowed
the museum to offer free
admission to all students.
That’s been reduced from
about 100,000 students in
2008 to less than 30,000 this
year. The museum’s overall
attendance declined about 15
percent since 2008 to 385,000
visitors last year. It furloughed
part-time staff for a month
last year and laid off 12 staff
members last month.

AAA: Ohio gas
jumped 3 more
cents in week
COLUMBUS (AP) —
Ohio gas prices have jumped
3 cents thanks to oil prices
that just keep going up.
A survey from auto
club AAA, the Oil Price
Information Service and
Wright Express puts the state-
wide average price for reg-
ular-grade gasoline at $3.82
a gallon, compared to $3.79
last Monday.
One month ago Ohio
motorists were paying an
average of $3.50 for regular.
Last year at this time the
state average was $2.83 per
gallon.
The continuing increase at
the pump follows a parallel
rise in oil. Since Labor Day,
oil has risen 48 percent and
U.S. gas prices have gone up
42 percent.
The increases gained
momentum in Mid-February
when a popular rebellion built
in Libya, eventually turning
violent and shutting down the
country’s exports.
Ohio’s record average
price is $4.05, set in July
2008.

The candy-colored coif of
the rescue dog is the talk of

“She actually likes it

in Columbus, who adopted
3-year-old Isabella from a

“They either love it or

New climate change case
headed to Supreme Court
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration and
environmental interests
generally agree that global
warming is a threat that must
be dealt with.
But they’re on opposite
sides of a Supreme Court case
over the ability of states and
groups such as the Audubon
Society that want to sue large
electric utilities and force
power plants in 20 states to
cut their emissions.
The administration is sid-
ing with American Electric
Power Co. and three other
companies in urging the high
court to throw out the lawsuit
on grounds the Environmental
Protection Agency, not a
federal court, is the proper
authority to make rules about
climate change. The justices
will hear arguments in the
case Tuesday.
The court is taking up a
climate change case for the
second time in four years.
In 2007, the court declared
that carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases are air pol-
lutants under the Clean Air
Act. By a 5-4 vote, the jus-
tices said the EPA has the
authority to regulate those
emissions from new cars and
trucks under that landmark
law. The same reasoning
applies to power plants.
Super rich see federal taxes drop dramatically
By STEPHEN
OHLEMACHER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As
millions of procrastinators
scramble to meet today’s tax
filing deadline, ponder this:
The super rich pay a lot less
taxes than they did a couple
of decades ago, and nearly
half of U.S. households pay
no income taxes at all.
The Internal Revenue
Service tracks the tax returns
with the 400 highest adjust-
ed gross incomes each year.
The average income on those
returns in 2007, the latest year
for IRS data, was nearly $345
million. Their average federal
income tax rate was 17 per-
cent, down from 26 percent
in 1992.
Over the same period, the
average federal income tax
rate for all taxpayers declined
to 9.3 percent from 9.9 per-
cent.
The top income tax rate
is 35 percent, so how can
people who make so much
pay so little in taxes? The
nation’s tax laws are packed
with breaks for people at
every income level. There are
breaks for having children,

same way that
Barack Obama was. That is
to say, each president tends to
be a reaction to the previous
commander in chief. George
W. Bush was the opposite of
Bill Clinton, and Obama was
certainly nothing like Bush.
At least not as a candidate.
This presidential formula,
largely consistent through the
years, has become exagger-
ated recently owing to cultural
developments unique to our
times, including our infatu-
ation with celebrity and our
attraction to extreme forms of
expression. From movies to
sports to politics and punditry,
everything is big, loud, and
over the top.
If people have wearied of
Obama’s cerebral serenity and
an approach to governance
that seems overconsidered,
then who better than The
Donald to seize the alterna-
tive? Trump, live-and-in-liv-
ing-color, is a Muhammad Ali

and boastful, a provocateur
with money to put where his
mouth is. He knows what he
knows, and we can take it or
leave it. The Donald doesn’t
care. In a poll-driven pundi-
tocracy, the mind spoken so
freely offers a tonic to toxic-
The administration says
one reason to end the current
suit is that the EPA is consid-
ering rules that would reduce
carbon dioxide emissions
from power plants. But the
administration also acknowl-
edges that it is not certain that
limits will be imposed.
At the same time,
Republicans in Congress are
leading an effort to strip the
EPA of its power to regulate
greenhouse gases.
The uncertainty about leg-
islation and regulation is the
best reason for allowing the
case to proceed, said David
Doniger, a lawyer for the
Natural Resources Defense
Council, which represents
Audubon and other private
groups dedicated to land con-
servation.
“This case was always the
ultimate backstop,” Doniger
said, even as he noted that
the council would prefer leg-
islation or EPA regulation
to court decisions. The suit
would end if the EPA does
set emission standards for
greenhouse gases, he said.
The legal claims advanced
by six states, New York City
and the land trusts would
be pressed only “if all else
failed,” he said.
When the suit was filed in
2004, it looked like the only
way to force action on global
warming. The Bush adminis-
tration and the Republicans in
paying a mortgage, going to
college, and even for paying
other taxes. Plus, the top rate
on capital gains is only 15
percent.
There are so many breaks
that 45 percent of U.S. house-
holds will pay no federal
income tax for 2010, accord-
ing to estimates by the Tax
Policy Center, a Washington
think tank.
“It’s the fact that we are
using the tax code both to
collect revenue, which is
its primary purpose, and to
deliver these spending ben-
efits that we run into the situ-
ation where so many people
are paying no taxes,” said
Roberton Williams, a senior
fellow at the center, which
generated the estimate of peo-
ple who pay no income taxes.
The sheer volume of cred-
its, deductions and exemp-
tions has both Democrats and
Republicans calling for tax
laws to be overhauled. House
Republicans want to elimi-
nate breaks to pay for lower
overall rates, reducing the top
tax rate from 35 percent to 25
percent. Republicans oppose
raising taxes, but they argue
that a more efficient tax code
would increase economic
ity.
Except when it doesn’t.
About that birther thing.
Trump entered the presi-
dential fray with the headline-
snatching pronouncement
that Obama should produce
proof of his birth on U.S. turf.
This same ol’ same ol’ non-
sense, which has been amply
resolved by nonpartisan enti-
ties, nonetheless received the
requisite attention.
Trying to convince birthers
that Obama is a legitimate cit-
izen rather than a closet jihad-
ist is like trying to convince
a terrified child that there’s
no monster under the bed. No
amount of reasoning will do,
though there is one bit of logic
that seems to have escaped
mention and that ought to pro-
vide relief to the most-fevered
minds.
Herewith: If there were
even one iota of evidence
suggesting that Obama was
not born in this country,
does anyone really think that
Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have
raised it during the campaign?
Really?
The Clintons don’t just
have people; they have arma-
das of political machinery.
If Obama were born any-

was born, we’d all be say-
ing, “Madame President” and

A cynic might ponder the
possibility that Team Obama

charge of Congress doubted
the EPA’s authority to regu-
late greenhouse gases.
Federal courts long have
been active in disputes over
pollution. But those cases
typically have involved a
power plant or sewage treat-
ment plant that was caus-
ing some identifiable harm to
people, and property down-
wind or downstream of the
polluting plant.
Global warming, by its
very name, suggests a more
complex problem. The power
companies argue that any
solution must be compre-
hensive. No court-ordered
change alone would have any
effect on climate change, the
companies say.
“This is an issue that is of
worldwide nature and causa-
tion. It’s the result of hun-
dreds of years of emissions
all over the world,” said Ed
Comer, vice president and
general counsel of the Edison
Electric Institute, an industry
trade group.
The other defendants in
the suit are Cinergy Co., now

activity, generating additional
tax revenue.
President Barack Obama
said last week he wants to do
away with tax breaks to lower
the rates and to reduce gov-
ernment borrowing. Obama’s
proposal would result in $1
trillion in tax increases over
the next 12 years. Neither pro-
posal included many details,
putting off hard choices about
which tax breaks to elimi-
nate.
In all, the tax code is filled
with a total of $1.1 trillion
in credits, deductions and
exemptions, an average of
about $8,000 per taxpayer,
according to an analysis by the
National Taxpayer Advocate,
an independent watchdog
within the IRS.
More than half of the
nation’s tax revenue came
from the top 10 percent of
earners in 2007. More than
44 percent came from the top
5 percent. Still, the wealthy
have access to much more
lucrative tax breaks than peo-
ple with lower incomes.
Obama wants the wealthy
to pay so “the amount of taxes
you pay isn’t determined by
what kind of accountant you
can afford.“
circulation. As the president
himself told ABC News’
George Stephanopoulos,
Republicans who embrace the
birther movement are hurting
themselves.
In saner times, we’d recog-
nize and dismiss the ravings
of madmen, self-promoters
and false prophets. Today,
thanks to the democratization
of the megaphone and the
political bulimia we euphe-
mistically call “dialogue,”
any old canard can enjoy 15
minutes of credibility.
Sure enough, Trump’s
challenge to Obama’s natural-
born citizenship has gained
traction among a disturb-
ing number of believe-any-
thingers, outscoring others in
GOP presidential preference
polls.
While the new head of
the Republican Party, Reince
Priebus, is urging birthers to
take their meds, some have
wondered whether Trump’s
rant is mere stunt. In the age
of celebrity, it doesn’t matter
what people are saying about
you as long as they’re talking
about you, goes the “think-
ing.”
By this calculus, the more
ridiculous one is, the more
likely one is to benefit from
buzz. And then, who knows,
one may become a sensation
in the Twitterverse, and then
pop goes the weasel, and th-
th-th-that’s all, folks!
Until the next cycle begins,
even sooner than the last.

Lancers drop 2, Knights
sweep in Saturday weather
By Drew Bittner
Times Bulletin Correspondent
sports@timesbulletin.com
CONVOY – Considering
Saturday’s bitter weather, it
was a positive for the young
Lincolnview softball squad to
get a few more games under
its belts instead of lose anoth-
er pair as a weather casualty.
In a quad match moved from
Lincolnview to Crestview due
to those weather conditions,
the Lady Lancers
couldn’t quite hit
their stride until the
final innings of their
second contest as
Lincolnview dropped
both of its games. The
ladies fell to Celina 22-2 (5
innings) in the opener and
then dropped a heart-breaker
to Fort Recovery in the sec-
ond game, 6-5.
In the first contest
against the Lady Bulldogs,
Lincolnview struggled right
out of the gate, as Celina got to
starter Ashley McClure early
and reliever Courtney Gorman
late. McClure struggled with
her command in the game,
in no small part due to the
nasty weather conditions, and
Celina capitalized on six first-
inning walks and four hits to
take an 8-0 lead after one.
The Lady Bulldogs added
another run in the third inning
before tacking on seven more
runs in the fourth frame and
another six runs in the fifth.
In total, Celina put up 22 runs
in the contest off 13 hits. The
Lady Bulldogs capitalized on
14 bases on balls/hit batsmen
from the Lady Lancer pitch-
ing staff and five errors by the
Lincolnview defense.
On the offensive side
for the Lady Lancers, runs
were hard to come by off
Celina starter Kylee Bader.
Lincolnview only sent four
batters to the plate in each
of the first three innings and
were retired in order in the
fourth. Paige McClure had the
team’s only hits through those
four frames.

Lincolnview broke through
for a pair of runs in the fifth
inning, when Jodie Doner
knocked in a pair with a dou-
ble, but that would prove to
be the only two runs of the
contest for the Lady Lancers.
Lincolnview finished with
two runs on four hits.
In the second game of the
evening, Lincolnview fared
much better against Fort
Recovery, but ultimately
dropped the contest to the
Lady Indians.
Fort Recovery
jumped on the
scoreboard first,
scoring a pair
of runs in both
the second and
third innings to jump
out to a quick 4-0 lead. But
Lincolnview plated two runs
in the bottom of the third
inning off RBI hits by Doner
and Sarah Harris to cut the
deficit in half, 4-2.
That score stood until
the fifth inning when Fort
Recovery extended its advan-
tage to 5-2 and the Lady
Indians finished their scoring
in the top of the seventh with
another run. The game stood
at 6-2 entering the final half-
inning of play.
But Lincolnview made
things interesting in the bot-
tom of the seventh. Fort
Recovery managed to record
two quick outs without pres-
sure in the frame and looked
to be in full control but a hit
and two walks later, the Lady
Lancers had bases loaded
with two down. Another walk
plated a run for Lincolnview
and then Doner came up big
once again with a 2-RBI sin-
gle to trim the lead to 6-5.
Unfortunately for the Lancer
faithful who had braved the
weather, that would prove to
be all the Lincolnview rally
had in store as Fort Recovery
preserved their 6-5 win.
Paige McClure led the
Lancers in hits on the after-
noon and Doner’s 5 RBI in
the two games paced the team
in that category. The Lady

Lancers fall to 1-4 on the
season and will visit Ada this
afternoon.
Crestview put together two
impressive performances dur-
ing the weekend tilt by knock-
ing off Fort Recovery 21-5 in
the opening game and follow-
ing that up with a 4-0 shutout
of Celina in the second game.
Although the weather
seemed destined to wreak
havoc on teams throughout the
day, the cold and frigid tem-
peratures did nothing to
cool off the Lady Knight
bats in the opener.
After Fort Recovery
jumped out to a 1-0 lead
on the strength of a home
run, Crestview came
right back with a 9-run
first inning. The Lady Knights
pounded out nine hits in the
first frame, including a string
of five straight, and eight of
the starters had base knocks
to show for their effort. The
big blow came off the bat of
shortstop Danica Hicks, who
blasted a 2-run home run to
left center to make it a 9-1
game.
The real fireworks came in
the second inning, however.
With four runs already scored
in the second, catcher Jessica
Burger blasted a 3-run shot to
make the game a 16-1 affair.
On the next pitch, MacKenzie
Richard also went deep to
give the Lady Knights back-
to-back home runs. But the
home run derby wasn’t fin-
ished.
Kirstin Hicks blasted a
round tripper after working
a 1-0 count and then, on the
very next pitch once again,
Madison Preston went yard
for Crestview. Just like that,
in a span of five pitches, the
Lady Knights had blasted four
home runs out of the park.
The Lady Knights ended the
second inning with a 19-1
advantage. Crestview added
two more runs in the fourth
inning for their total of 21.
Fort Recovery did manage
five runs off Kirstin Hicks,
the Lady Knight starter, but

the Lady Indians never threat-
ened the Crestview lead in the
game.
The second contest proved
to be a much tougher test for
the Lady Knights. Against a
Celina squad that had also
pounded out over 20 runs
against Lincolnview, fans
may have expected the fire-
works to continue. But the
strong pitching matchup of
Lady Bulldog Katie Kerr and
Crestview’s Preston proved to
be the day’s best duel.
Both hurlers kept the oppo-
sition off the scoreboard for
the first five innings of play
and the duo combined for 11
strikeouts in the game.
In the bottom of the sixth,
though, the Lady Knights
broke through once again.
Burger led things off with a
triple to right center and she
was promptly driven in on a
RBI single by Richard. Kirstin
Hicks then swatted her second
home run of the day with a
2-run shot to put Crestview
up 3-0. Angie Pierce provided
another long ball later in the
inning for good measure and
a 4-0 advantage.
That would prove to be all
that was needed, as Preston
shut down Celina in the top
of the seventh to preserve the
4-0 win.
In total, the Lady Knights
put up 25 runs for the day
on 26 hits. Danica Hicks led
Crestview with five hits on
the day and also paced the
team with 5 RBI. Burger and
Kirstin Hicks each added 4
RBI. Hicks and Preston picked
up the wins on the mound.
The Lady Knights are now
8-4 on the season.

Bluffton improves to 8-4
in the HCAC with sweep
of Hanover
By Josh Bruner
Sports information assistant
BLUFFTON — The Bluffton
University softball team hosted
Hanover College on Sunday for
a rescheduled HCAC double-
header that had originally been
slated to be played at Hanover.
The Beavers put up two runs in
the seventh inning to sneak by
the Panthers, 11-10. Bluffton
proved more dominant in the
second game as they took a
16-2 victory in five innings.
The Beavers improved to 16-13
overall with an 8-4 mark in the
HCAC. Hanover fell to 5-17
on the season and 1-7 in the
HCAC.
Bluffton started the scoring
in the first as an Emily Manahan
(Columbus/Bishop Watterson)
single pushed Meagan Price
(Toledo/Springfield) across the
plate for the first run of the
game. Hanover added three
4 runs in the bottom half when a
1 Jessica Conover home run plat-
ed three for an early 3-1 lead.
6
The Beavers once again
pulled together in the second as
a Maggie Armstrong (Vevay,
Ind. /Switzerland County) dou-
ble drove in Allison Radomski
(Fairfield/Cincinnati Christian).
Hanover responded with a
potent offensive inning. They
strung together three hits and
used one Bluffton error to drive
in four runs for the 7-2 lead.
The Panthers added to their
advantage in the third as the
Beavers failed to produce a
runner. Hanover tallied three
more runs with two hits and two
errors in the frame. Hanover’s
lead jumped to 10-2 after just
three innings.
Bluffton finally started to
put it together in the fourth as a
Natalie Nikitas (Jeffersonville,
Ind.) home run picked up Paige
Gerdeman (Columbus Grove)
for two runs in the fourth. They
home team held the Panthers
scoreless as a double play and
a pop up ended the inning. The
Beavers trimmed the lead down
to 10-4 with just three innings

off double to start the inning.
Stevie Cuttitta (Columbiaville,

to drive home Osborne. Ashley
Manusos (Spring Grove, Ill./

Manusos and Cuttitta with a
single to end the scoring for
the inning. The Beavers once
again held Hanover scoreless to
make the score 10-9 at the end
of the fifth.
The Beavers still trailed by
a run going into the seventh.
A throwing error allowed both
Cuttitta and Gerdeman to score
after they both singled. Bluffton
went into the bottom of the sev-
enth up by one. Cuttitta was up
to the task, not allowing a run-
ner while picking up the 11-10
come-from-behind win.

reached on a single and came
home following a Gerdeman
double. Cuttitta then drove
Gerdeman in with a single up
the middle. The scoring con-
tinued as Nikitas picked up
Cuttitta on a ground out. The
Panthers added a run of their
own in the first on a Helena
Ciminowasielewski solo home
run. After one inning Bluffton
led 3-1.
The Beavers continued to
You can feel the difference
pound across runs as an Osborne
single up the middle drove in
Price and Wade. Cuttitta held
the Panthers scoreless in the
second as she struck out the
side.
The Beavers added another
two runs in the third. Manusos
doubled in Radomski for
the first run before Manusos
scored on a throwing error.
Hanover picked up a run as a
Shelby Overton single drove
home Ciminowasielewski. The
Beavers led 7-2 after three.
Price scored once again in
the fourth, as she reached on a
single and was sacrifice bunted
over to second. She scored fol-
lowing a Cuttitta single. Cuttitta
once again kept the Panthers off
the bases as they went down
without a hit in the fourth.
Bluffton put together an
impressive fifth inning which
iced the game. Jessica Wilhelm
(Piqua) drove home Nikitas
after she reached on a double.
Osborne stepped up to the plate
with Price on first and Wade
on second and launched it over
the fence for a three-run shot.
Gerdeman then walked and
scored on an error. Armstrong
scored on a Nikitas single. Erford
and Nikitas both crossed the
plate on wild pitches to put the
run total at eight for the inning.
Hanover once again could not
produce a runner, as Bluffton
mercy-ruled the Panthers 16-2
after five innings.

second win of the afternoon,
jumping to 8-4 while giving
up only three hits and two runs
and fanning six in just five
innings. Ashley Cochran fell
to 1-3 after allowing eight runs
in three innings. Nikitas went

By Mallory Kemper
Sports information intern
BLUFFTON — The
Bluffton University base-
ball team scored an impres-
sive 29 runs in a doubleheader
sweep of pre-season Heartland
Conference favorite Franklin
College on Sunday, April 17,
2011. The Beavers scored three
runs in the bottom of the sev-
enth to take the first game 9-8
and won 20-13 in game two.
Bluffton improved to 4-10 in
the Heartland Conference and
12-17 overall. Franklin fell to
18-10 on the season and 8-6 in
the HCAC.
In the third inning, Alex
Boone hit an RBI single for
the first run of the game.
Sophomore Nick Stoia followed
with a three-run homer to give
the Grizzlies a 4-0 lead.
Two innings later, the
Beavers responded with four
runs of their own. With Nick
Broyles (Toledo/Whitmer)
at second base and Miles
Richardson (Granville/Newark
Catholic) at third, a wild pitch
made the score 5-2. Tyler
Wright (Troy) reached on an
error by the defense which sent
home Airic Steagall (Hillsboro)
and Broyles for two runs. After
the fifth inning the two teams
were deadlocked at five runs
apiece.
In the sixth inning, Franklin
scored two runs thanks to dou-
bles by Travis Lee and Matt
Zmich. The Beavers scored one
run in the sixth but were still
down 8-6 going into the bottom
of the seventh. Kyle Niermann
(Napoleon) sent home Kyle
Trainer (Mechanicsburg) on
an RBI single. Richardson
knotted the game with a base
knock before Broyles stepped
to the plate and singled home
Niermann with the game-win-
ning run as the Beavers took
game one, 9-8.
Richardson went 3-of-5 at
the plate, scored two runs and
had one RBI. Nick Broyles
finished with two hits, includ-
ing the walk-off single. Tyler
Stephenson (Springfield/
Northwestern) added two hits.
Freshman Ben Roeschley
(Graymont/IL/Flanagan) picked

Texas fire contained; homes damaged Machine arrives to aid rescuers

By APRIL CASTRO
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — An
Austin wildfire authori-
ties believe was sparked by
a homeless man’s campfire
burned 100 acres and dam-
aged at least 18 homes — a
number fire officials expect
to increase once they can get
a better look at the destruc-
tion today.
Austin Fire Department
spokesman Chayer Smith
said he expected the fig-
ure to change “substantially
upward” once firefighters can
survey the area in the day-
light.
Authorities believe a
homeless man started the fire
by lighting a campfire to cook
amid strong winds and tinder-
dry conditions that have left
firefighters battling a spate of
wildfires threatening commu-
nities across Texas. Wildfires
have spread across more than
700,000 acres — about the
size of Rhode Island — in
drought-stricken Texas.
The fire in southwest
Austin destroyed at least
eight homes and damaged 10
others. The suspect, whose
name has not been released,

The mine is tucked into the forested mountains of Mullan, a
historic mining town of 840 people in Idaho’s Panhandle.
Company spokesman Mike Dexter said the two employees
had just finished watering down blasted-out rock and ore when
the collapse occurred about 75 feet from the end of the 6,150-
foot deep tunnel. The cave-in area was 20 feet wide. Officials
say it’s unclear if the entire 75-foot section collapsed, or only
a portion of it, possibly leaving the miner trapped on the other
side.
“We don’t know if the collapse went all the way to the end,”
Monday, April 18 through Wednesday, April 20 Dexter said.
The company said all mining activity has been halted for
the rescue effort.
The mine employs roughly 275 workers, about 50 of whom
were underground in various parts of the mine when the collapse
occurred, company spokeswoman Melanie Hennessey said.
Local Glen Gotcher, 57, who worked in the mine for 28 years and
spent the last seven working in the mill above ground, said the
Favorite community is staying positive as they await word about the
missing miner.
