WASHINGTON (AP) — RickSantorum on Sunday condemnedwhat he called President BarackObama’s world view that “elevatesthe Earth above man” andrequires insurers to pay for prena-tal tests that will encourage moreabortions.

A day after telling an Ohioaudience that Obama’s agenda isbased on “some phony theology,

not a theology based on the Bible,”the GOP presidential candidatesaid he wasn’t criticizing the pres-ident’s Christianity.

“I’ve repeatedly said I don’tquestion the president’s faith. I’verepeatedly said that I believe thepresident’s Christian,” Santorumtold CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“I am talking about his worldview, and the way he approaches

problems in this country. I thinkthey’re different than how mostpeople do in America,” he said inthe broadcast interview.

The former Pennsylvania sena-tor said Obama’s environmentalpolicies promote ideas of “radicalenvironmentalists,” who,Santorum argues, oppose greateruse of the country’s naturalresources because they believe

“man is here to serve the Earth.”He said that was the reference hewas making Saturday in his Ohiocampaign appearance when hedenounced a “phony theology.”

“I think that is a phony ideal. Idon’t believe that is what we’rehere to do,” Santorum said. “We’renot here to serve the Earth. TheEarth is not the objective. Man isthe objective.”

Most people have a niche —something that makes them happy,makes them smile — and it mayjust be a secret.

For area resident and formerprincipal Ric Hacker, that is just thecase — until recently.

Hacker was a principal for 24years. He got his start at ValleyView as a teacher, then became aprincipal and came to be MiamiEast’s principal from 1985-2009.

What many people don’t knowabout Hacker is that along with but-toning up the suit and tie and head-

ing to his office in schools, he hadanother role — another “office” persay. The jig is up.

“In 1976, The Greasers started,”Hacker said of his cover rock bandthat is now playing in the area. “Itstarted off in the Methodist churchin Germantown. Me and some of theguys started clowning around inpractice. We would start doing doowop songs and the choir directorwould just get infuriated at us.”

Little did Hacker and his friendsknow, the choir director also was theorganizer of spring talent shows inGermantown where people write

skits and sings songs to raise moneyfor the town’s rescue squad.

“We were just clowning aroundhaving fun,” Hacker said. “Shelooked at us and said ‘You guys aredriving me crazy, but you are prettygood. We are going to do this show,

Santorum questions ‘world view’Said he was not criticizing Obama’s faith

WASHINGTON (AP) —A resurgent RickSantorum hopes to springhis next big surprise inMichigan. Newt Gingrichlooks for a campaignrevival in the Bible Belt.Mitt Romney has his homestate of Massachusetts,and the luxury of pickinghis spots elsewhere, if noteverywhere, as the race forthe Republican presiden-tial nomination roars backto life.

After a brief midwinterlull, the Republican fieldfaces a cross-country seriesof nine primaries and fourcaucuses between Feb. 28and Super Tuesday onMarch 6. At stake are 518delegates, more than threetimes the number awardedso far in the unpredictablecompetition to pick a GOPopponent for PresidentBarack Obama.

A debate on Feb. 22 inArizona, the first in threeweeks and possibly the lastof the GOP campaign, addsto the uncertainty.

The political considera-tions are daunting asRomney, Santorum,Gingrich and Ron Paulweigh the cost of compet-ing in one state against thehope of winning in a secondor perhaps merely runningwell but gaining delegatesin a third.

“Not all states are ofequal importance,” saidSteve Schmidt, who helpedthe GOP’s 2008 nominee,Arizona Sen. John McCain,

JERUSALEM (AP) —The U.S. and Britain onSunday urged Israel not toattack Iran’s nuclear pro-gram as the White House’snational security adviserarrived in the region,reflecting growing interna-tional jitters that theIsraelis are poised tostrike.

In their warnings, boththe chairman of the U.S.joint chiefs of staff, Gen.Martin Dempsey, andBritish Foreign SecretaryWilliam Hague said anIsraeli attack on Iranwould have grave conse-quences for the entire

region and urged Israel togive international sanc-tions against Tehran moretime to work. Dempseysaid an Israeli attack is“not prudent,” and Haguesaid it would not be “a wisething.” It was not knownwhether their messageswere coordinated.

Both Israel and theWest believe Iran is tryingto develop a nuclear bomb— a charge Tehran denies.But differences haveemerged in how to respondto the perceived threat.

European Union have bothimposed harsh new sanc-tions targeting Iran’s oil sec-tor, the lifeline of the Iranianeconomy. With the sanctionsjust beginning to bite, theyhave expressed optimismthat Iran can be persuadedto curb its nuclear ambi-tions.On Sunday, Iran’s Oil

Ministry said it has haltedoil shipments to Britain andFrance in an apparent pre-emptive blow against theEuropean Union. The semi-official Mehr news agency

said the National IranianOil Company has sent let-ters to some Europeanrefineries with an ultima-tum to either sign long-termcontracts of two to five yearsor be cut off. The 27-nationEU accounts for about 18percent of Iran’s oil exports.Israel has welcomed the

sanctions. But it has point-edly refused to rule out mili-tary action and in recentweeks sent signals that itspatience is running thin.Israel believes a nuclear-

armed Iran would be athreat to its very existence,citing Iran’s support for Arabmilitant groups, its sophisti-cated arsenal of missilescapable of reaching Israeland its leaders’ calls for thedestruction of the Jewishstate.Last week, Israel accused

Iran of being behind a stringof attempted attacks onIsraeli diplomats in India,Georgia and Thailand.There is precedent for

Israeli action. In 1981, theIsraeli air force destroyed an

unfinished Iraqi nuclearreactor. And in 2007, Israeliwarplanes are believed tohave destroyed a target thatforeign experts think was anunfinished nuclear reactorin Syria.Experts, however, have

questioned how much anIsraeli operation wouldaccomplish. With Iran’snuclear installations scat-tered and buried deep under-ground, it is believed that anIranian strike would setback, but not destroy, Iran’snuclear program.There are also concerns

Iran could fire missiles atIsrael, get its local proxiesHezbollah and Hamas tolaunch rockets into theJewish state, and cause glob-al oil prices to spike by strik-ing targets in the Gulf.In an interview broadcast

on CNN Sunday, Dempseysaid Israel has the capabilityto strike Iran and delay theIranians “probably for a cou-ple of years. But some of thetargets are probably beyondtheir reach.”

Santorum’s remarkswere another attack on thepresident’s faith byR e p u b l i c a nrivals in a nomi-nating contestthat has grownincreasingly bit-ter and negative.“It’s just time

to get rid of thismindset in ourpolitics that, ifwe disagree, wehave to questioncharacter andfaith,” saidRobert Gibbs,Obama’s formerpress secretary,on ABC’s “ThisWeek.”“Those days

have longpassed in ourpolitics. Ourproblems andour challengesare far too great,”Gibbs said.Santorum said his claim

that Obama’s health careoverhaul encourages abor-tions stems from the factthat insurance companiesare required to pay for pre-natal testing, which he saidwill result in more preg-nant women having moreprocedures.He specified amniocen-

tesis, a procedure that canidentify physical problemsin the unborn.“The bottom line is a lot

of prenatal tests are doneto identify deformities inutero and the customaryprocedure is to encourageabortion,” he said.

A doctor rec-ommend abor-tion when asonogram dis-covered healthproblems forS a n t o r u m ’ syoungest daugh-ter, who wasborn three yearsago with agenetic condi-

tion known asTrisomy 18,which typicallyproves fatal. Shehas lived longerthan most chil-dren born withthe condition.“This is typi-

cal,” Santorumsaid.“This is what

goes on in med-ical rooms aroundthe country.”

He said he’s critical ofthe mandate in Obama’shealth care plan thatinsurers must pay for thetests, not of prenatal test-ing in general.“There are all sorts of

prenatal testing whichshould be provided free. Ihave no problem with thatif the insurance companieswant to.I’m not for any of these

things to be forced,”Santorum said.

why don’t you work up an act?’”At the time Hacker said the

group consisted of four singersand a piano.“It was almost barbershop,

but with a rock ‘n’ roll flavor,” hesaid. “We did it just for the showand didn’t think itwould go anywhere.But, we got calls toperform at theDayton Mall andother people askingus to sing.”From there, he

said it just kept grow-ing.“We started prac-

ticing and we decidedto add to it. We addeda drummer, a bass and a lead,and over the years we haveadded everything from bass tolead to saxophone,” Hacker said.“We can do just about any kindof song.”Staying true to its roots,

Hacker said the band plays avariety of music, but stays closeto the doo wop sound from whichthe band was born.“Our speciality was late ’50s

rock ‘n’ roll and we try to staytrue to it to a certain point. Butnow we have moved into themid- to late-’60s and tapped onto the early ’70s,” Hacker said.“But we always jump back

into our range, we don’t go toofar out.”Hacker said when the band

started, each member was prettyopen to being able to go wherethe band led them.“At the time I wasn’t married,

only one of us was, so we werepretty free to do whatever we

wanted,” he said.“We played week-

ends, clubs, bars, a lotof different things andour families were finewith it. I know myfather loved it.”He said while his

father enjoyed the band,he got a response manymothers would give to a

loud rock band — andstill does today.

“Turn it down, you’re great,but you’re too loud,” he said ofhis mother’s response.From the school office to the

front of the stage, Hacker saidhis music interest was alwaysthere from a young age.“I had musical talent and an

interest in it,” Hacker said.“I was a good trumpet player

in the band orchestra, but Inever sang. I knew I could sing,but never got in any of thechoirs. I hid all of that, though. Iwanted to be a baseball player orbasketball player and tried to bea jock. Although I can play thosesports, I’m not good at any of

them.”He said after awhile the real-

ized his talents.“It took me awhile to accept

the fact that I can do this,”Hacker said. “I finally embracedit, but kept it quiet for awhile uphere because it was my sidelinething. I kept my life up here sep-arate.”It was not until a recent co-

worker’s retirement party thatHacker played north ofInterstate 70.He said now the band is book-

ing more shows north ofGermantown and is embracingthe opportunities that are beingpresented.After retiring in 2009, he said

being a part of The Greasers isspecial.“It’s a retiree’s dream,”

Hacker said. “I love music, I loverock ‘n’ roll. That’s my passion.”From all the responses people

give him, Hacker said, he has

one that is his favorite.“A lot of times people think

‘Oh you just get together andyou goof around,’” he said.“That’s true to a point, but if youcome and hear us, you will seeit’s real, our band is just sensa-tional, these guys challenge us tosing things we didn’t think wecould sing.”He said being on stage is

great, but one of his favoriteparts of the band is everythingbehind the scenes.“I love practice. We practice

about once a week, usually onthe weekend,” he said.“We get together, set every-

thing and play for three hours.We sometimes have more fun inpractice than we do in the shows.We do some of our best music inpractice.”When the band took a break

and later got back together,Hacker said it was truly a gift.“I didn’t know it was going to

start back up when I quit,” hesaid, jokingly. “This is what anold retired principal does withhis free time.”The band now consists of sec-

ond generation members andalso includes Richard Schoonoverand his son Brandon, RandyStiver and daughter Ashley,Gerald Emerick and Julie Stiver.For more information on The

navigate the campaign calendar as a sen-ior adviser.It will take 1,144 delegates to win the

GOP presidential nomination at theAugust convention in Tampa, Fla.According to numerous strategists

inside and outside the campaigns, theMichigan primary on Feb. 28 shapes up asparticularly important contest as Romneytries to fend off a charging Santorum oneweek before a 10-state night on SuperTuesday.Yet of the 13 states, Georgia has the

biggest delegate haul at stake, 76, andGingrich can ill afford to lose now wherehis political career was launched in 1978.Sensing an opportunity, the pro-

Romney group Restore Our Future is tar-geting Gingrich in television ads in thestate, hoping to deny the former Housespeaker a sweep of the delegates andleave some on the table for Romney toscoop up.Not such maneuver is possible in

Arizona. There, all 29 delegates go to thewinner, and Romney, a formerMassachusetts governor, is heavilyfavored.

Did You Know?

RAAMBAH OLLINNC

Hey kids, did you know you can senda letter directly to the White House?Here’s the address:

The White House1600 Pennsylvania Ave.Washington, DC 20500

Let us know if you hear from thepresident!

President's Day is a celebration ofboth George Washington's and AbrahamLincoln's birthdays.

The holiday is celebrated on the thirdMonday of February.

George Washington, known as "TheFather of Our Country," was the first pres-ident of the United States of America. Heplayed a major role in the drafting of theDeclaration of Independence signed onJuly 4, 1776, declaring the Colonies to befree and independent states. He foughtvaliantly in the American Revolution andled the colonists to freedom as the com-mander in chief of the Continental Army.He was a wise and courageous manadmired for his honesty and strength ofcharacter.

Two famous tales told about him arefrom the book, "The Life and MemorableActions of George Washington" byParson Mason Locke Weems. ParsonWeems speaks of George tossing astone across the Rappahannock River.(Later, the stone became a silver dollar inAmerican folk lore.)

He also speaks of his havingchopped down a cherry tree and admit-ting it to his father, as he could not tell alie. Whether these stories are fact or fic-tion is uncertain but, both are favorite sto-

ries associated with Washington.George Washington, a Virginian and

plantation owner himself of the estateknown as Mount Vernon on the PotomacRiver, was a methodical man. He gave agreat deal of thought to every decision hemade. However, once his decision wasmade he did not waver in his resolve.Valley Forge is a testimonial to thatresolve. Valley Forge was a strategiclocation chosen because it separated theBritish forces in Philadelphia from thecolonist Congress operating in York,Pennsylvania. It was there with a smallarmy of 11,000 men through a freezingwinter with few supplies and many deser-tions that Washington was able to trainhis forces, with the help of BaronFrederick Van Steuben. The sheer forceof his belief in the colonists right to free-dom was what pulled him through these,the darkest hours of the AmericanRevolution. Washington went on to winour independence. Lord Cornwallis,leader of the British forces, surrenderedon October 19, 1781. It took two moreyears before a peace treaty was signedin 1783 recognizing the colonists’ inde-pendence.

Abraham Lincoln was our 16th presi-dent, and he is known as "The GreatEmancipator."

Nicknamed "Honest Abe" for his hon-esty and fairness and coming from veryhumble beginnings, Abraham Lincoln isthe finest example of what an individualcan achieve with hard work and the ambi-tion to learn and to lead. He read con-stantly and went to great pains to get hishands on any books he could find to fur-ther his quest for knowledge. In his youthhe walked miles to get to the only schoolhouse in his region. He did his homeworkby the light of the fire and used the backof a shovel to work out his sums, mathe-matics. His earliest reading material wasthe family Bible and he relied on thetruths it offered him and the comfort hederived from them throughout his wholelife.

Lincoln took office as 16th presidenton March 4, 1861. Six weeks later, on

April 12, 1861, the Civil War broke outwhen Fort Sumter was fired upon by theconfederacy.

The War would not end until April 9,1865, when General Robert E. Lee sur-rendered to Ulysses S. Grant atAppomattox Court House in Virginia.

Six days later, on April 15, 1865, theman who had said, "Slavery is a continu-al torment to me," was dead, assassinat-ed by the actor, John Wilkes Booth.

Lincoln signed the EmancipationProclamation on September 22, 1862,giving freedom to slaves held in any statein the confederacy that did not return tothe Union by the end of the year.

Slavery was not abolished until the13th Amendment was added to theConstitution on December 18, 1865, afterLincoln's death.

Lincoln had stated when he was acandidate for Senator of Illinois: "A housedivided against itself cannot stand. Ibelieve this government cannot endurepermanently, half slave, half free. I do notexpect the Union to be dissolved. I do notexpect the house to fall-but I do expect itwill cease to be divided. It will become allone thing, or all the other."

He felt the fate of democracy lay inthe preservation of the Union. It is doubt-ful that a divided America, two separatenations, would have achieved the suc-cess and prosperity it has had if theUnion had not endured.

Abraham Lincoln is directly responsi-ble for that preservation. "As I would notbe a slave, so I would not be a master.This expresses my idea of democracy.Whatever differs from this, to the extent ofthe difference is no democracy. "

Chapter Five:Week Five

War is a strange thing. It is horribleand nasty and evil. But even so, peopleget awfully creative in the middle of it.A lot of that creativity just winds upmaking better ways of killing peopleand destroying things, but sometimessome really cool stuff comes out of it.The American Civil War was noexception.

On the destructive side, there wasthe invention of the Gatling gun.Basically, this was the first machinegun and it was invented by a guy whostudied medicine at the Ohio MedicalCollege. Now it may seem kind ofweird that someone who studied med-icine would wind up making weapons,but there was a reason for it. See,Gatling figured that if he could inventa single weapon that could do the jobof a whole bunch of soldiers, thenthere wouldn’t be a need for as manysoldiers on the battlefield. That’s whathe said anyway. We all know how thatworked out.

On the gentler side, it was duringthe Civil War that anyone used anykind of aircraft to spy on their ene-mies. No, there weren’t any airplanesback then. They used balloons. Andthe man who was in charge of thewhole thing was Thaddeus Lowe. Itwas kind of funny, really. See, Lowewas trying to fly from Cincinnati,Ohio, to the Atlantic Ocean, but got alittle lost. Instead, he wound up land-ing in North Carolina (too bad for himthat the Civil War had started about aweek earlier). The confederates arrest-ed him for a spy, but he was able totalk his way out of that and they let

him go. When he got back toCincinnati to get his balloons, hefound that President Lincoln thoughtthat using balloons to get informationabout the enemy was a pretty goodidea.

And that brings us to UncleEthan’s next letter.

February 9, 1863Wilf,We still fight, here in Kentucky

and the southernmost part of ourblessed state of Ohio. The land is dif-ferent here. At home, when the groundis cleared for fields or pasture, you cansee as far as the trees will allow. Not sohere. It is as if the ground has bunchedand heaved, like a blanket poorly fold-ed. Here it is hard to see ten feet, letalone ten miles, for the hills and val-leys.

And Johnny Reb knows this.He hides up in the hills and rains

down bullets upon our heads. He slipsbehind rocks and trees and sneaksback around behind us. There are agreat many Union soldiers and wehave great men leading us, but far toomany times we cannot find our enemyin order to fight back. There is hope,though, that this is changing and thereis a very strange and wonderful reasonfor that.

On a sortie several weeks back, Ihad reason to look up and what I sawnearly took my breath away. It was aballoon, and no small child’s toy,either. It was a balloon big enough tohold a large wicker basket and in thatbasket was a man. I could not see himwell, but he seemed to be lookingsteadily about him. Not too long afterI had seen the balloon, we were told toprepare ourselves, for a band ofConfederates was moving toward us.And so there were, Wilf. Because weknew of them, we took them, all sevenof them, without losing a single man. Ilater learned that it was the work of theBalloon Man, as I have taken to call-ing him. He is a lookout in an ever-moving tower. He can spy the enemyand, through the use of a wireless,report what he sees to others on theground.

It is a remarkable thing and I prayfor more such providences.

Please respect theAmerican flag

To the Editor:This is in regard to the bas-

ketball picture on the sportspage in the Feb. 13 edition ofthe Troy Daily News.

If you look close at the pic-ture, you’ll see only about two

or three kids holding theirhand over their hearts duringthe pledge to the Americanflag. How about parents, teach-ers and coaches teaching thesekids respect for our Americanflag?

If it wasn’t for our Americanflag and freedom in our coun-try, these kids wouldn’t havethat nice gym to play in and

school to attend.So how about it, players,

cheerleaders, parents, teachersand coaches? Let’s show ourAmerican flag the respect itdeserves and the freedom to beable to play these sports in ourschools.

The Herald-Times, Bloomington, Ind.,on grading Congress:

Congress recently received an overall grade of C-minus from40 top academic experts who make it a habit to study that leg-islative body.In the old days a C was considered average, so a C-minus

would be slightly below average. And “slightly below average” issimply too high a grade for the poor-to-failing effort of theCongress in 2011.The grade came from a survey conducted by the Center on

Congress at Indiana University.Comments by Ted Carmines, an IU political scientist who

was lead author on the survey, suggested he thought the overallgrade was too high with this blunt criticism of Congress:“Congress came close this year to total failure in its main

functions of making laws and being a governing branch,” hesaid.“That view wasn’t shared by all the experts,

but, overall, the grades are quite low. This wasa severe assessment of Congress.”The grade inflation came in part because

the experts gave Congress good grades on“making its workings and activities open tothe public” and “making a good effort to beaccessible to their constituents.”In other words, they were good at showing

people how inept they were and in meetingwith people to try to explain themselves.

The Iola (Kan.) Register on Obamaand contraceptives:

On Feb. 10 the U.S. Conference of CatholicBishops said it could not accept PresidentBarack Obama’s compromise solution to theflap over contraceptives provided for womenemployees of Catholic hospitals, universitiesand other non-church organizations adminis-tered by the Catholic church.The administration passed the buck to the

insurance companies.The companies would be required to provide

contraceptive coverage for female employeesfor no additional cost so that the church-relat-ed entities would not be required to pay anadditional fee.The companies would be willing to do so, administration

spokesmen explained, because pills are cheaper than paying foradditional pregnancies.The bishops said that was not enough.They pointed out some of the institutions involved were self-

insured and would wind up paying the additional cost. If theyhad an alternative compromise in mind, it was not made public.Obama apparently has agreed it is not acceptable for the gov-

ernment to require a church-governed institution to act againstits core principles.His administration, therefore, was willing to take the church-

es off the hook and let the insurance companies provide the cov-erage.What the administration was not willing to do was to deprive

women — of any church affiliation — access to birth controlmedication and services.The ball is now in the bishops’ court.If they can’t accept the administration’s proposal, they should

make one of their own. To be acceptable, it should take into con-sideration the moral and medical reproduction decisions thattoday’s women of all religious faiths have made and continue tomake.

vinced the Soviets were waitingfor a chink, any chink in ourarmor before swooping down toturn us all into their slaves at bestor atomic dust at worst.Thinking critically about those

drills we practiced in grade schoolis laughable.In the event of a nuclear attack,

we were supposed to drop downunder our school desks and coverour heads with our arms.Unless those desks were a lot

sturdier than they looked pluslined with lead, it’s crazy to thinkthat flimsy wooden slat and ourbony first-grade arms could pro-tect us from anything moreaggressive than a semi-deter-mined bumble bee.

It reminds of the story of thefirst-time parachutist who won-ders what to do if his chute fails.“Gather it up in your arms,” theinstructor advised, “and fling it

back up into the air.” “Will thismake it open?” the nervous stu-dent asks. “No,” admits histeacher, “but it will keep yourmind occupied until you hit theground.”Well, the unfettered military

build-up reportedly bankruptedthe Soviet Union, removing themfrom the threat column, destroy-ing their economy, leaving theircredit rating in tatters, and caus-ing a run on the vodka supply.Note to Congress: a bankrupt

country is a bad thing. A very badthing, especially the vodka part.(That shifty-eyed Putin guy stillgives me the willies, though. Idon’t think there is any such thingas a kinder, gentler KGB. Putinlooks like the kind of person whowould keep thumb screws in his

back pocket, just in case.) RonaldReagan declared Communism wasdead, at least the Russian variety,and we could all sleep easier.I was sleeping just great until

we bought a new truck. Stay withme here. It’ll all come together ina minute.This truck, for all its good

points, is just a trifle to take-charge. It’s bossy. It’s demanding.It’s controlling. I think (duckunder the desk and shield yourhead) it’s a Communist.We are all capable of punching

in a phone number although opti-mally this chore is not accom-plished co-existent with driving.So for the sake of clarity, safety,and my blood pressure let’s say allpassengers in our shiny new truckare capable of punching in a phonenumber.But our shiny new truck is not

happy with this arrangement. Itdoes not want you to have directaccess to the phone. This vehiclewants you to tell it who you arecalling and then IT will deal withthe phone. Really, is it any of thetruck’s business who we are call-ing? Same with the seat belts. It’sup to the individual (and appar-ently the Ohio legislature) todecide when to strap in.

Strapping in is, of course, a bril-liant idea, but should the owner ofa brand-new American-made truckhave to put up with an extremelyannoying pinging noise if he optsto drive a trailer full of brush attwo miles an hour to the backacres without being seat-belted?Don’t get me started on the door

locks. Our Red Menace of a truckhas deemed it necessary to lock usin whenever we reach the breath-taking pace of 10 miles per hour.And there is absolutely nothing wecan do about it.If a person digs deeply enough

into the owner’s manual, that per-son will learn there are variationson the locking-in.You can choose to be locked in

when the engine starts. You canchoose to be locked in when thepre-set speed is breached. But youcannot choose not to be locked inat all.This almost certainly violates

one of my basic civil rights. It’scovered in the Constitution underlife, liberty, and the pursuit of notbeing locked into the truck againstmy will. I wonder if Putin hasanything to do with this.

MONTERREY, Mexico(AP) — A fight amonginmates led to a prison riotin northern Mexico thatkilled 44 people Sunday, asecurity official said.Nuevo Leon state public

security spokesman JorgeDomene Zambrano saidthe riot broke out at about2 a.m. in a high-securitysection of a prison in thecity of Apodaca outside thenorthern industrial city ofMonterrey.Several inmates

attacked others, and thefighting then spread andblew up into a riot, Domenesaid. Forty-four people diedbefore authorities regainedcontrol of the prison a cou-ple of hours later, he said.Families of the prison-

ers gathered outside theprison pushing at thefences and shouting atpolice to demand word ofthe victims.Deadly fights happen

periodically in Mexico’sprisons as gangs and drugcartels stage jail breaksand battle for control ofpenitentiaries, often withthe involvement of officials.Some 31 prisoners died

in January during a prisonriot in the Gulf coast cityof Altamira in Tamaulipasstate, which bordersTexas. Another fight in aprison in the Tamaulipasborder city of Matamorosin October killed 20inmates and injured 12.In July, a riot at a

prison in the border city ofJuarez killed 17 inmates.Mexican authoritiesdetained the director andfour guards over thatclash. Surveillance videoshowed two inmates open-ing doors to let armedprisoners into a roomwhere the slain victimswere reportedly holding a

party.Twenty-three people

were killed in a prison riotin Durango city in 2010,

and a 2009 riot in GomezPalacio, another city in thenorthern Mexican state ofDurango, killed 19 people.

woman who was kidnapped at knifepointat age 14 and held captive for nine monthsmarried Matthew Gilmour on Oahu’sNorth Shore.“Elizabeth’s desire was for what most

women want to celebrate her nuptials in aprivate wedding with family and closefriends,” family spokesman Chris Thomassaid in a statement. “She decided, about aweek ago, the best way to avoid significantdistraction was to change her weddingplans and to get married in an unsched-uled ceremony outside of Utah.”The 24-year-old Smart is a senior at

Brigham Young University. She metGilmour, of Aberdeen, Scotland, whiledoing Mormon missionary work in Paris.The couple wed at the Laie Hawaii

Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter-day Saints in front of a small group

of family members, Thomas said. Thegroup then celebrated at a private recep-tion and luau.“We’re just thrilled that she’s married,”

her father, Ed Smart, told The Salt LakeTribune, calling the ceremony a “kind of aspur of a moment thing.”

MARY FLICK YARIAN SMITH FAHNESTOCK

MENUS

Dear Readers: Want to get astart on seedlings for your gar-den? Here are some hints aboutreusing everyday items to getthem going:• A favorite is an egg carton.

Put some soil in each little cupsection, make an indentation,add a seed, cover lightly, thenadd a few drops of water. Put itin a sunny window and wait forthe seedlings to sprout.• Use small paper cups.• You also can use juice cans

(orange, apple, etc.). When it’stime to plant the seedling,remove the bottom of the canand simply push out the seedingand root ball, then plant outside.Don’t know if the seeds are

still good? Give this a try: Put afew seeds between two damppaper towels.If the seeds are still good, they

will sprout in a couple of days.Then all you have to do is plantthem in some dirt. Many seeds,like those from tomatoes, cucum-bers and squash, will stay goodfor several years if stored prop-

erly. — HeloiseP.S.: These hints can be used

to start cuttings like ivy growing.It’s also a great way to shareplants with friends.FAST FACTSDear Readers: Here are

some hints for plastic bags thatround, flat cotton pads come in:• Use to carry a toothbrush

when traveling.• Use to carry straws on out-

ings.• Put wet trash in one before

placing it in a large bag.— HeloiseKEYBOARD PROTECTIONDear Heloise:With multiple

users on a computer, the key-board can get unsanitary quickly.

The computer store did not haveany keyboard protectors on theshelf, stating that they had to beordered. In the meantime, I cov-ered the keyboard with plasticfilm wrap (for food) from thecupboard. Transparent tape wasplaced strategically to secure it.Do not wrap the entire keyboardthough, just the keys. —Margarette in Temple, TexasGreat hint! Another hint is to

leave the protective film that akeyboard comes with. I’ve leftthe film on my laptop to protectit from spills or just plain junk.Readers, what do you think?Do you leave the protective

film on, or take it off? —Heloise

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I have two grownchildren, both married with kids.My youngest, "Carrie," has a 14-year-old daughter who has beenseeing a boy for a year.The other day, we were visiting

Carrie, and my granddaughter andher boyfriend got very cozy at thedining room table while we wereeating dinner. They started kissingand making out in front of theentire family. Carrie didn't say aword.I think this is terrible. Carrie is

not the easiest person to approachabout it, however. If I say anythingto her, I doubt she'll respond well.Any suggestions?—Grandmother in BostonDear Boston: Carrie may have

reasons for ignoring such inappro-priate behavior. Perhaps thisteenage granddaughter alreadyhas plenty of issues with her moth-er, and Carrie has decided toignore as much as she can. If youspend time alone with your grand-daughter (and we recommend it),you can discuss these things direct-ly and calmly with her. Otherwise,it would be a good idea to stay outof it.Dear Annie: My dentist per-

formed a root canal on the wrongtooth. Because of his mistake, I hadto go through two root canals andtwo crown preps. He didn't chargeme for the one he did in error, but Idid get a bill for more than $2,000for the other.I feel violated. Crowns do not

last as long as natural teeth, so I'velost a perfectly good piece of myanatomy. The dentist now says Ieventually would have needed aroot canal there anyway, but that'snot true. I have X-rays from anoth-er dentist that show nothing wrongwith that tooth.I know I could sue him for mal-

practice, but I don't want the stressof going to court. And the dentisttold me if I sue and don't prove mycase, he would countersue with adefamation claim.Should I report him to the den-

tal board? Should I inform my fam-ily, since I have recommended thisdentist in the past?— A LakesRegionDear Region: Telling your fam-

ily is your choice. Mistakes canhappen in any profession. However,this dentist should have apologizedprofusely instead of becomingdefensive and threatening you witha countersuit. We recommend youcall your state dental society aboutresolving this conflict. If that does-n't help, you can consult an attor-ney and find out whether it's worthpursuing a financial solution.Dear Annie: This is for

"Desperate To Help," who is con-cerned about a 54-year-old friendwho "has a great sense of humorand a good heart" and is morbidlyobese.

Dear Desperate: Do you enjoythe company of people who are con-stantly criticizing your choices?Enjoy your friend for who he is,and stop trying to change him.If you invite him for a walk,

walk at his pace and let him choosethe distance. Talk about thescenery and the weather. Share ajoke. Do not mention anythingabout health, or he will know theonly reason you're walking withhim is to deliver yet another lec-ture on what an ugly piece of blub-ber you think he is.

If you invite him for a meal,make it what you usually eatrather than a weight-loss special.Talk about an interest you share.Does he enjoy watching movies?Watch one with him and discuss it.Maybe you think he should be outjogging instead, but that's not yourbusiness. Forget about trying tomake him lose weight. Try insteadto make yourself a better compan-ion. Right now, you are being apest. Give him respect and trust byaccepting that his habits are hisown decision.— S.Dear S.:While we agree that

you cannot force someone else tolose weight, you are being awfullyhard on "Desperate," who is trulyworried about the health of a dearfriend and doesn't want him to dieyoung.

You might get achance to prove this when one of yourpals needs you to stand by him or her.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Be-cause you perform so well whileunder pressure, you aren’t likely toback away from any challenging de-velopments. You will have plenty ofreserves from which to draw, and theywill be responsible for your victory.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If youhave something good in the hopper,first check with your best friends tosee if they want a piece of it beforeyou bestow it to just anybody.

You might find it best toallow compassion to take precedenceover practicality.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —Changes you are likely to be instru-mental in making will affect yourfamily in ways that will win youpraise from all concerned. It’ll makeyou feel good that you did what youdid.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —You’ll consider it very important to letthe one you love know how you trulyfeel about him or her.

HOROSCOPE CROSSWORD

STEVENS PASS,Wash. (AP) — Threeskiers were killed Sundaywhen an avalanche sweptthem far down an out-of-bounds canyon at a popu-lar resort, but a fourthskier caught up in theslide was saved by a safe-ty device, authorities said.The four were among

three groups of skiers —about a dozen people in all— making their waythrough a foot and a halfof fresh snow on the backside of Stevens Pass, inthe Cascade Mountainsnortheast of Seattle, whenthe avalanche hit.All were buried to some

extent, but the men whodied were swept about1,500 feet down a chute inthe Tunnel Creek Canyonarea, King CountySheriff ’s Sgt. KatieLarson said.Most of the other

skiers, all well-equipped,were able to free them-selves and rushed to digout the victims. They per-formed CPR on the threemen to no avail, Larsonsaid.The fourth skier who

was swept far down themountain, a woman,appeared to avoid a simi-lar fate because of theavalanche safety deviceshe was wearing, Larsonsaid. Larson didn’t imme-diately have other detailsabout the device.

The men who died werebelieved to be in their 30sand 40s.“From what I’m told,

they were all very knowl-edgeable, expert skiers,”Larson said.The initial reports of

the avalanche reached thesheriff ’s office just after

noon, and for some time itwasn’t clear whether theother skiers had also beenswept up in the slide.The Northwest

Weather and AvalancheCenter on Sunday issueda warning for high ava-lanche danger for areasabove 5,000 feet, saying

warmer weather couldloosen surface snow andtrigger a slide on steeperslopes. The elevation ofthe avalanche wasn’timmediately clear.At mid-afternoon, the

temperature at the base ofthe Stevens Pass skiresort was 24 degrees,

with light winds and goodvisibility. The tempera-ture at the top of themountain was 22 degrees,according to the resort’swebsite.John Gifford, the ski

area’s general manager,said Sunday that theresort had received 19inches of snow in the past24 hours. However, it was-n’t snowing there Sundayafternoon.Stevens Pass is one of

the most popular outdoorrecreation areas in the

state, with visitors flock-ing to the scenic site to gocross-country, back-coun-try and downhill skiing,as well as snowshoeingand backpacking.It’s been a deadly win-

ter in Washington’s moun-tains. Four people disap-peared in vicious stormswhile camping and climb-ing on Mount Rainier lastmonth. The four remainmissing, and authoritieshave said they’re hopingto find their bodies whenthe snow melts this sum-mer.Across the West, there

had been 13 avalanchedeaths this season as ofThursday, according to theColorado AvalancheInformation Center, whichtracks avalanche deathsin the U.S.Experts have said the

risk of additional slidescould remain high all sea-son. They attribute thedangers in part to a weakbase layer of snow causedby a dry winter.Avalanche deaths are

more common in the back-country than at skiresorts. Out of about 900avalanche deaths nation-wide since the winter of1950-51, 32 were withinterrain that was open forriding at ski resorts,according to the UtahAvalanche Center.Also Sunday, King

County Sheriff ’s Sgt.Cindi West said a snow-boarder was killed in aseparate incident at theAlpental ski area east ofSeattle. The snowboarder,a man, went over a cliff.

the state meet on Friday.

“I can’t believe she placedfourth and fifth at our districtmeet, then had the sixth and sev-enth fastest time’s in the wholestate,” Morgan said. “I guess that’swhy they call the SouthwestDistrict the ‘district of champions.’“We are really looking forward

to taking her to state this week-end, and seeing what she can do. Ithink she learned a lot from thetwo races (on Saturday). Sheshould be able to build off that andimprove her time.”Tippecanoe also had some qual-

ifiers in Division II, as seniorBrent MacKenzie qualified withthe third best time in the 200 indi-vidual medley (1:52.44) and heposted the seventh fastest time inthe state in the 100 breaststroke(1:00.49).Also for the Tipp boys, the 400

freestyle relay team earned a statequalification, ending up with the17th best time in the state(3:22.61). Tipp’s 200 medley relayteam also got to state, finishingwith the 21st qualifying time(1:42.61).For the Tipp girls, senior

Lauren Subler will make anappearance at state, qualifying inthe 100 breastroke (1:08.64).Freshman Bailey Cahill made it tostate, as well, finishing with the22nd fastest time in the 100 but-terfly (1:00.23).

YankeestradeBurnettNEW YORK (AP) —

A.J. Burnett’s rocky tenurein pinstripes is over.The Yankees and

Pirates completed a tradeSunday that sends themuch-maligned pitcher toPittsburgh for a pair ofminor leaguers. New Yorkis also giving the Piratesnearly $20 million to covermost of Burnett’s heftysalary in a deal that clearsthe way for the Yankees tosign Raul Ibanez.The teams agreed to the

trade Friday but it wassubject to Burnett passinga physical, which he didSunday at Pirates camp aspitchers and catchers heldtheir first workout ofspring training inBradenton, Fla.Commissioner Bud

Selig also had to approvethe deal because of themoney involved.Burnett goes from a

perennial World Seriesfavorite to a club coming offits 19th consecutive losingseason, a record for thefour major pro sports inNorth America.“Having played in New

York, I can say that playingin Pittsburgh is … I would-n’t say easier, but just thepressure and everythingthat comes along with it isless,” said Pirates right-hander Jeff Karstens, whoalso pitched for theYankees. “That shouldmake his transition here alittle bit easier. Anytimeyou can add a quality armlike that to the staff, it’sgoing to make us better.”The Yankees get 25-

year-old right-handerDiego Moreno and 20-year-old outfielder ExicardoCayones, both low-levelprospects.Pittsburgh will pay $13

million of the $33 millionsalary due Burnett for2012 and 2013, a personfamiliar with the negotia-tions said Friday, speakingon condition of anonymitybecause no announcementhad been made at thattime.

Nascardidn’t even consider thepole, so this is huge.”Biffle was not as

thrilled.“I’m a little disappoint-

ed,” Biffle said. “I hate thewind. I guess if you’re outsailing, it’s good. It wassinging down the back,but coming down the frontI just got a big gust ofwind coming off of (turn)four … I knew I didn’thave it.”Edwards and Biffle

were the only two driversto lock down their startingpositions in Daytona’sunique qualifying format.The rest of the startingorder for next Sunday’s

race is set throughThursday’s twin 150-milequalifying races.But only four starting

spots are up for grabs.NASCAR guarantees

starting spots to the top35 teams from last season,three spots go to thefastest drivers in time tri-als not already locked inand one spot goes to a pre-vious NASCAR champion.The drivers who earnedstarting spots in qualify-ing were defending racewinner Trevor Bayne,Tony Raines, DavidStremme and formerNASCAR champion TerryLabonte.Clint Bowyer, making

his debut for MichaelWaltrip Racing, was 22ndin qualifying but had histime thrown out when hiscar failed inspection.NASCAR said Bowyer willhave to start last inThursday’s qualifyingrace, but that’s the onlypenalty his No. 15 teamwill face.Scott Miller, vice presi-

dent of competition forMWR, said he doesn’tthink starting in the backis too big of a blow forBowyer.“As far as the 150 goes,

you’re going to be to thefront and to the back ofthat thing,” Miller said.“Our competitiveness and

our ability to go win the150 hasn’t changed any.”Danica Patrick was

29th in qualifying, but isguaranteed a spot in herfirst Daytona 500 basedon a business dealStewart Haas Racingmade with TommyBaldwin Racing. Patrickgoes into the season withthe points Dave Blaneyearned for Baldwin lastseason, and gets into the500 because it was a top-35 team last year.“To say I wasn’t nerv-

ous at all is a lie,” shesaid. “Of course I was, alittle bit. I want to do agood job.”She watched Saturday

night’s exhibitionBudweiser Shootout fromthe spotter stand, and isanxious to run in thequalifying race Thursdayto get a feel for the packracing. NASCAR madesignificant tweaks to therules package during theoffseason to break up thetwo-car tandem andreturn racing to the fan-preferred pack.“I’m not completely

unfamiliar with the pack,”she said.Edwards, meanwhile,

is eager to race and put2011 behind him once andfor all.His loss to Stewart in

the championship race

was gut-wrenching, anddespite holding his headhigh and demonstratinghow to lose with dignity,he’s been unable to moveforward because of theintense attention on hisdefeat.“It seems like every

media question and allanybody says is, ‘How greatwould it have been to haveone more point and how didyou deal with that this off-season?’ Edwards said. “Ithink this is nice to comehere and show everyonethat, hey, it isn’t just talk.Everybody at RoushFenway went back andworked hard and kept theirheads down and dug.”

momentum swings, theKnicks reeled off 17straight points in the firstquarter, fell behind by 12 inthe third, then pulled it outto beat the Mavericks foronly the third time in thelast 20 meetings.Dirk Nowitzki scored a

season-high 34 points forthe Mavericks, who hadbeen playing champi-onship-level defense butbecame the latest teamwho couldn’t stop Lin.Playing for the seventh

straight game without theinjured Carmelo Anthony,the Knicks got a huge liftfrom Smith, just signedFriday after returning fromChina. Coach MikeD’Antoni had previouslysaid he wouldn’t playSunday since he hadn’tpracticed yet, but whenswingman Bill Walker alsohad to sit out with aninjury, D’Antoni neededsomeone at that position,and Smith hit three of theKnicks’ 12 3-pointers.Lin had nine turnovers,

tied for the most in theNBA this season, Friday inan 89-85 loss to NewOrleans that stopped aseven-game winningstreak. He has committedsix or more in six straightgames, but D’Antoni saidSaturday he wanted Lin tokeep taking risks.They paid off Sunday,

when Lin got the Knicksback into a game that had

seemed to be getting awayin the third quarter, beforeshooters all around him gothot in the fourth.Novak made four 3-

pointers in about 4 minutesof the fourth quarter, thenLin buried one to give theKnicks a 90-81 lead with6:51 remaining. The Mavsgot it back down to two onJason Terry’s 3-pointerwith 3:26 left, but Linanswered with a 3, and theMavs couldn’t get closerthen three again.Tyson Chandler capped

it off with a dunk and had14 points and 10 reboundsfor the Knicks in his firstgame against the team hehelped win last season’schampionship. The Mavsmade little attempt to keephim, opting instead forfuture salary flexibility

over his defensive presence.But there had been little

slippage, as the Mavs camein holding opponents to anNBA-low 41.4 percentshooting from the field.They were limiting teamsto 39.2 percent during thewinning streak, but theKnicks carved them up for54 percent in the first quar-ter as Lin ran the offenseflawlessly.Long before Linsanity,

Lin actually started hisNBA career with the Mavs’summer league team in2010. But owner MarkCuban said Lin preferred toplay closer to home, and hesigned with the Warriors,who cut him, as didHouston, in Decemberbefore the Knicks pickedhim up off waivers.“It wasn’t luck because

there were how many otherteams that could havesigned Jeremy and theKnicks were the ones whowent out and got him,”Cuban said. “So they sawsomething and they weresmart enough to go out andget him.”Friday’s loss may have

ended the Knicks’ winningstreak, but certainly notthe buzz around Lin.“Saturday Night Live”opened with a spoof ofLinsanity and Sunday’scrowd included KevinCostner, Eva Longoria,Spike Lee wearing Lin’sNo. 4 Harvard jersey andanother famous Harvardproduct, Facebook headMark Zuckerberg. Lin’shigh school coach from PaloAlto (Calif.) High Schoolalso made the trip.
