ATLANTA (AP) — In agraphic new ad campaign an-nounced Thursday, the gov-ernment is trying to shocksmokers into quitting withthe sometimes-gruesome sto-ries of people damaged by to-bacco products.The new effort confronts a
hard truth: Despite in-creased tobacco taxes andbans in many public places,the adult smoking rate hasn’treally budged since 2003.“When we look back on
just a few decades to the daysof smoking on airplanes andelevators, it can be easy to fo-cus on how far we’ve come,”said Secretary of Health andHuman Resources KathleenSebelius, at a news confer-ence.But smoking continues to
take a devastating toll on theAmerican public, and thenew ads are meant to be “awake-up call” to smokerswho may not truly grasp thedangers that still exist, sheadded.The billboards and print,
radio and TV ads show peo-ple whose smoking resultedin heart surgery, a tracheoto-my, lost limbs or paralysis.The $54 million campaign isthe largest and starkest anti-smoking push by the Centersfor Disease Control and Pre-vention and its first nationaladvertising effort.The agency is hoping the
spots, which begin Mondayand will air for at least 12weeks, will persuade asmany as 50,000 Americans tostop smoking.“This is incredibly impor-
tant. It’s not every day we re-lease something that willsave thousands of lives,”CDC Director Dr. ThomasFrieden said in a telephoneinterview.That bold prediction is
based on earlier researchthat found aggressive anti-smoking campaigns usinghard-hitting images some-times led to decreases insmoking. After decades of de-cline, the adult smoking ratehas stalled at about 20 per-cent in recent years.Advocates say it’s impor-
tant to jolt a weary publicthat has been listening togovernment warnings aboutthe dangers of smoking fornearly 50 years.“There is an urgent need
for this media campaign,”Matthew Myers, president ofthe Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said in a state-ment.One of the print ads fea-
tures Shawn Wright fromWashington state who had atracheotomy after being di-agnosed with head and neckcancer four years ago.The ad shows the 50-year-
old shaving, his razor movingdown toward a red gapinghole at the base of his neckthat he uses to speak andbreathe.An advertising firm,
Arnold Worldwide, foundWright and about a dozen
others who developed canceror other health problems af-ter smoking for the ads.Federal health agencies
have gradually embracedgraphic anti-smoking im-agery. Last year, the Foodand Drug Administration ap-proved nine images to be dis-played on cigarette packages.Among them were a man ex-haling cigarette smokethrough a tracheotomy holein his throat, and a diseasedmouth with what appear tobe cancerous lesions.Last month, a federal
judge blocked the require-ment that tobacco companiesput the images on their pack-ages, saying it was unconsti-tutional.Experts say some waves of
anti-smoking ads have beenhugely successful. Those thataired in the late 1960shelped drive a 10 percent de-cline in per capita cigaretteconsumption from 1967 to1970. And the AmericanLegacy Foundation’s “Truth”ads from the early 2000s de-serve substantial credit for alarge drop in youth smokingat the time, they say.The CDC ads are more
graphic than spots that haveaired nationally before.The idea behind such ads
is to create an image so strik-ing that smokers and would-be smokers will think of itwhenever they have an urgeto buy a pack of cigarettes,said Glenn Leshner, a Uni-versity of Missouri re-searcher who has studied theeffectiveness of anti-smokingads.Leshner and his col-
leagues found that some adsare so disturbing that peoplereacted by turning awayfrom the message ratherthan listening. So while spotscan shock viewers into pay-ing attention, they also haveto encourage people thatquitting is possible, he said.The CDC campaign in-
cludes information on a na-tional quit line and offers ad-vice on how to kick the habit,CDC officials said.Two of the largest tobacco
companies issued state-ments, both acknowledgingthe health dangers of smok-ing but neither addressingthe CDC ad campaign. “Weagree smoking is addictiveand causes serious diseaseand for those who want toavoid the health effects ofsmoking, the best thing to dois to quit,” said the state-ment by Richmond, Va.-based Altria Group Inc., own-er of Philip Morris USA —the nation’s biggest tobaccocompany.———Associated Press writer

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,M.D.If March Madness is mak-
ing you lose sleep (you hadCleveland State advancing tothe Sweet 16!), chill. Makeyour own three-point play --better focus, better grades,better health -- by helpingyour kids get the right amountof sleep.The old guidelines insisted
that teens need nine-plushours of sleep. Apparently,that figure was established byseeing how much a group ofkids would sleep if no onewoke them up. Not good sci-
ence.What we now know is that
10-year-olds do better on testswith 9-9.5 hours of sleep; 12-year-olds do best with around8.3-8.4 hours; and 16- to 18-year-olds do better on about 7hours. The older we get, theless sleep we need -- otherwise,we'd never be able to wake upour kids!These aren't hard-and-fast
rules, however. Parents: Watchfor individual signs of fatigue,grumpiness, depression and afall-off in academic perfor-mance. One trap for teens: Theweekend, stay-up-late, sleep-late cycle. On early-to-rise
Mondays, they can't snap backinto a school day's routine. Theresult: They sag. You nag.Grades lag. What a drag.For bright-eyed mornings
and solid snoozes, feed them adiet with omega-3-rich foods(avocado, walnuts, canola oil,fish oils), 100 percent wholegrains, very little saturated fatand lots of veggies; help themget plenty of physical exercise(X the Xbox); and encouragethem to spend face-to-facetime with friends. They'll sleeplike a baby (although not for aslong) and so will you, at anyage.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) —Baby boomers are stayingmore active to try to changethe face of aging.Those who study sports
participation say the 78 mil-lion Americans born between1946 and 1964 are playingmore sports with most doingfitness and outdoor activities.They sign up for swimming
classes and will pay to playbasketball or hockey at oddhours in facilities used byyoung people during the day.Boomers are the first gen-
eration where large numbersexercised from their earlyyears onward.A 2011 survey by a sporting
goods manufacturing groupshows that after a two-yeardecline in sports such as soc-cer, baseball and basketball,the percentage of people of allages participating in teamsports grew by low single dig-its.Participation had suffered
due to the economic slowdown.Seattle lawyer:
SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S.soldier accused of slaughter-ing 16 Afghan villagers lastweekend saw his friend’s legblown off the day before therampage, his lawyer saidThursday.Seattle attorney John Hen-
ry Browne told The AssociatedPress that according to hisclient’s family, the suspect wasstanding next to another U.S.soldier when that soldier wasgravely injured.“We have been informed
that at this small base that hewas at, somebody was gravelyinjured the day before the al-
leged incident — gravely in-jured, and that affected all ofthe soldiers,” he said.Browne said his client had
been reluctant to leave on hisfourth deployment and sur-prised to be deployed toAfghanistan.He offered no other details
of the incident, and it isn’tclear whether it prompted thehorrific middle-of-the-nightattack. The soldier had beeninjured twice during his threeprevious deployments to Iraq,and he was loath to go toAfghanistan to begin with,Browne said.

welcome to Dublin," Jensensaid. "I'm sure my Englishcould be better. But I bet myEnglish is better than yourDanish."I'm proud to be a part of
this announcement," Jensenadded, which he followed witha brief history of the company'sefforts to grow their businessin America.That began with the cre-
ation of an L.A. base of opera-tions to begin the process of se-curing emissions approval fortheir products. And despite theeconomic downturn, Jensensaid the company has enjoyedits two most profitable years in2010 and 2011.“By the end of September
2012, we will have capabilitiesto supply quality products‘Made in the USA’ to our cus-tomers across the U.S.,” saidPresident and CEO Torben Di-nesen. “We are anxious to growour customer base in the U.S.and we are confident in thecontinued support from thestate of Georgia and LaurensCounty.”Plans are also in place to
double the size of the current60,000 sq. foot facility, whichwas formerly held by El Dora-do Stone. The facility had beenvacant since August 2009. Lessthan three years later, DinexGroup officials touted the com-munity's economic develop-ment team for selling the com-pany on why Dublin was thetop prospect out of 50 other po-tential sites."People kept asking, 'Why
Dublin?" Jensen said."(Dublin) is a very pro-busi-ness community. It's very ac-cessible. (And) it has access toa well-educated workforce."According to the Governor's
Office, Dinex will collaboratewith Quick Start, Georgia’s na-tionally recognized workforcetraining program, to train the
company’s workforce on arange of advanced manufactur-ing applications. Quick Startprovides tailored and industry-specific training resources freeof charge to qualified new, ex-panding and existing compa-nies creating new jobs in Geor-gia.“Georgia’s resources for ad-
vanced manufacturers are sig-nificant and we consider thisdecision by Dinex as a proofpoint of our abilities to helpglobal companies compete hereand abroad,” said Georgia De-partment of Economic Devel-opment Commissioner ChrisCummiskey. “From our highlyskilled workforce to advancedlogistics network, Dinex willfind in Georgia an infrastruc-ture capable of helping it meetcurrent and future customerneeds.”Local officials were aided by
the state's Office of EconomicDevelopment, as well as byBinswanger Real Estate Solu-tions, the Trade Council ofDenmark and the Royal Dan-ish Consulate under the ad-visement of the Honorary Con-sul General Christopher N.Smith in Macon.Smith said Dublin's long-
standing support of its interna-tional industry partners was aprime reason for the location ofthe new industry."I think the efforts that
have been made (here) are pay-ing dividends," Smith said."The folks here are open, wel-coming and very accommodat-ing to foreign companies. I'mdelighted they picked Georgia,and even more delighted theypicked Central Georgia. Withthe additions of Mage Solar,Erdrich Umformtechnik andnow a prominent Danish com-pany; activity begats activity."Local officials were ecstatic
over the announcement."It's an exciting day," said
State Senator Ross Tolleson."It really was a great event anda great program. It's excitinghaving them come to Dublinand Laurens County. Being asupplier to Caterpillar soundslike a great, great marriage be-tween Caterpillar and them.
So I think business will expandeven faster than they hadplanned...Right now we're on aroll. And we don't want it toslow up."State Rep. Matt Hatchett
(R-143) said the announcementhighlighted the cooperative ef-forts of local officials to show-case the benefits of locating anindustry in Laurens County."This is just another shining
example of the cooperation be-tween the development author-ity, our county and city govern-ments to bring another indus-try to Laurens County. They'reworking together to make ourcommunity prosperous. I hopethis is just the beginning forthe growth of our community."Dinex marks the third in-
ternational company to settlein Laurens County in the lastthree years. In May 2010,Mage Solar announced plansto begin operations in the for-mer Rockwell AutomationPlant on Industrial Blvd. Thatwas followed by the Januaryannouncement that ErdrichGroup would build at the coun-ty's new I-16 Industrial Park.“Our community is thrilled
to have another proven Euro-pean company to locate inDublin and Laurens County,”said chairman of the Dublin-
Laurens County DevelopmentAuthority Jimmy Allgood. “Weare fortunate to have the qual-ity workforce in this areawhich Dinex needs to operatesuccessfully in the U.S.”

KISSIMMEE, Fla. –When he was pitchingfor the Dodgers, DonSutton was imbuedwith the notion thatwhen you started a job,it should be your mis-sion to finish it.For this Alabama
farm boy, whether youare pitching hay or dig-ging post holes forerecting a fence, youdon’t take a break untilyou have completed theassignment. Sameattitude applied whenit came to pitching. Hedidn’t go out to themound for a briefsojourn, as the way itsometimes is in today’sgame. Give him theball and he didn’texpect to give it backuntil the game wasover.A Hall of Famer who
appeared in 750 gamesin his 23-year career,Sutton finished 180games, one of the cov-eted statistics in hisaccomplished career inwhich he won 324games. He says can-didly that he is notsure he would be com-patible with the waybaseball is playedtoday. A manager tellshim he is starting andsays, “Gimme five,son.” Five innings is alittle more than half agame. Sutton expectedto be a workhorse.
Sutton feels he haslived the Americandream. He grew up inClio, Alabama, bornunto sharecroppers.His father was 18 whenhe was born and hismother was 15. Toughtimes were as much apart of his life assunups ands u n d o w n s ,which he wit-nessed with-out the slight-est clairvoy-ance thatahead of himlay the best oftimes.He could
never haveimagined thathe wouldsomeday arriveat spring training inVero Beach, Florida,and mix with the sto-ried names of Dodgerhistory—Don Drysdale,Sandy Koufax, JohnnyPodres, John Roseboro,and Maury Wills. Themanager was WalterAlston, and there is aforeboding look of rev-erence in his eyes whenSutton recalls theDodger manager.For years, his itiner-
ant father—looking foran opportunity to makea better life for hisfamily—moved aboutlooking for work. Itmade an everlastingimpression on his son,
who would eventuallycome to know the goodlife. Los Angeles in thelate sixties was a cityon the move, and theHollywood elite foundtheir way to ChavezRavine, where theyapplauded countryboys from Alabama if
they couldenable theDodgers togain theadvantage inN a t i o n a lLeague com-petition.The Don
Sutton storyis one we canall appreci-ate. A boy,with austeri-
ty dogging himevery step of the way,makes good and reach-es the pinnacle of suc-cess by using his skilland talent to escapethe provincial lifestylethat fate lay at hisdoorstep. Sport can bethe great equalizer.When he got the
news in 1998 that hehad been voted intobaseball’s Hall ofFame, he paused inreverence to remember,first of all, his parents.And then he ticked offthe list of others whohad given him anassist as he made hisway from obscurity tothe top of the moun-
tain. He would haveliked to gather them allon the farm he grew upon in Alabama, linethem up, and givethem high-fives, with aresounding and repeat-ed chorus, “We did it.”Pausing here last

In Our OpinionDon Sutton: Finish The Job
LLoorraann SSmmiitthh
OUR TAKE:
President Obama willspend his Friday after-noon in Atlanta. Uponarrival, his itinerarysuggests that his motor-cade will proceedthrough some of thepoorest neighborhoods inAtlanta. His destina-tions, however, will beanything but povertystricken. The Presidentis here to pick up hispre-St. Patrick’s Day potof gold from twofundraisers hosted byentertainment entrepre-neur Tyler Perry.
Perry is a homegrownac t o r /w r i t e r / p r odu c e rand inspirational suc-cess story. ForbesMagazine claims he was2011’s highest paidentertainer with incomeestimated at $130 mil-lion for the year. That’ssafely within the 1 per-cent territory.
Common people with aminimum $500 contribu-tion will get to attendthe first fundraiser atTyler Perry’s studios inSouthwest Atlanta.Those with a spare$35,000 or so will beallowed in to a laterevent to be held at
Perry’s personalBuckhead home. It’s acozy 30,000 square footcottage nestled on 17acres along theChattahoochee river.
Perry’s success did notcome easy, norovernight. The 42 yearold mogul spent most ofhis twenties broke andstruggling to launch aplay which he had writ-ten and continued toperfect over severalyears. His persistence isevidenced in his success.
And it’s fairly safe tosay that Perry’s successwas self-made. Perryrecounts being abused asa child, and completed aGED program instead ofhigh school. He changedhis name from Emmitt toTyler at age 16 so as tonot have the same nameas his father.
Everything aboutPerry’s accomplishmentsis a pure American suc-cess story. Hard work,determination, overcom-ing early adversity, risktaking, and then, finan-cial success.
Tyler ’s films includestrong family andChristian themes, with
plot lines that oftendepict internal familystruggles but also pathsto redemption. Thesethemes and religioustones are suggested bysome as a reason Perry’sfilms tend to have limit-ed box office reach.
Perry as a backdrop toframe Obama’s cam-paign seems much moreappropriate to thePresident’s original cam-paign. That was the onewhere a young inspiringSenator pledged to bringa new tone toWashington. He wasgoing to reinvent politi-cal discourse and bringparties and the people
together. There washope. There was goingto be change.
Then, “I won”. That same candidate,
now a President, will beescorted through some ofAtlanta’s most impover-ished inner city neigh-borhoods to raise moneyfrom those sympatheticto him. His motorcade islikely to drive down I-75and skirt the PittsburghCommunity. Just southof downtown, the neigh-borhood saw its briefhope to climb out ofpoverty through gentrifi-cation and crash withthe housing bust. Now,the community sees
more than 50 percent ofits homes vacant, withproperty values roughlyten cents on the dollarfrom where they tradedjust a few years ago.
It’s unlikely that thePresident will see any ofPittsburgh. For securityreasons, he’ll likelymove down the freewayat speeds that wouldgenerate a super-speed-er ticket were he notescorted by the GeorgiaState Patrol and theSecret Service. Instead,he will see the wellheeled. The 1percent.
And they will donatemoney knowing that itwill likely be used toattack other one-per-centers. The money willnot be used to unite, butto further divide. It willbe used not to promotesuccess stories likePerry’s, but to paintthose who have beensuccessful as those whoaren’t doing enough. Asthose who don’t deservethe rewards of theirefforts. As those whoalready pay 38% of alltaxes collected who needto pay more because thatis the “fair” solution to
giving those who paynothing even more froma bloated and growinggovernment.
President Obama isnot here to campaign.He is here to pick upchecks. Despite somepolls indicating a closerace in Georgia for theNovember election, theelection will not be wonor lost in Georgia. As isnow custom, battle-ground states such asOhio, Florida, andVirginia will be therecipients of the dona-tions made by TylerPerry’s guests.Georgia’s strategic valueis merely that of conduitfor the wealthy who aresympathetic to thePresident to transfertheir funds to a machinethat will attack thewealthy who are not.

The guy eased the front wheel of his truck asmy dad slowly pulled up. Both waited for thesignal before jumping on the accelerator of theirvehicles and were speeding down the road. My dad, in a 1976 Mercury Comet, beat the
other guy by such a big margin it wasn’t evenfunny. After slowing down, they turned aroundand came back to where the crowd was. Beforegetting back, they were stopped and handed aticket.No, the ticket wasn’t from a law enforcement
official. That’s because my dad, and the otherdriver, weren’t doing anything illegal. They wereracing in the street division at the WarnerRobins International Dragway. In the early 1990s, my family used to go to
Warner Robins every other weekend and eitherparticipate or watch the races there. I never sawa wreck, but I know they can happen.According to the Laurens County Sheriff ’s
Office, there is a group of people holding dragraces on the street. The dragway is the perfectplace to race. A public road, isn’t. The last thing anybody wants to see when
they come over a hill are two vehicles comingtowards them like a bat out of you know what.There are dragways around where people can
go and safely settle who has the fastest car,motorcycle or truck. Besides, we already have enough bad drivers
on the road around the community. We don’tneed recklessness to go along with it.

A big thank you to the folksat the VA hospital for recent-ly making my father's visitthere very welcoming, friend-ly and enjoyable. Thanks fortaking the time with one vet-eran and showing him south-ern hospitality.
Why did Watergate forcePresident Nixon out; but“Fast and Furious”, which ismuch worse, has not yettouched President Obama norAttorney General Holder?
It's RIDICULOUS that peo-ple have to ride out in thecountry to steal other people'ssmall dogs that are using thebathroom outside. You can'teven let your dogs go outsideanymore. I am talking to youwith the red car.
Surely people realize thatObama is not handing outfree phones with his ownmoney. He is using our taxdollars and that qualifies asvote-buying at taxpayer ex-pense. When did a cell phonebecome a "right" ?
Happy Birthday to me!
How can people be mean topeople who have disabilities,especially family members,whether the disability isreadily seen or not? A disabil-ity is a disability. You are notexempt from having one.
The Karl Drake concertevent was absolutely fabu-lous. Thank you Chamber ofCommerce for bringing themto Dublin!
You have to have an ID toget into a movie but Pres.Obama says you should nothave to have one to vote.That makes no sense unlessyou want voting fraud.
I can’t wait for the St.Patrick’s parade tomorrow. Ihope the weather is beautifulso we can all enjoy it! I knowmy children will!
A big thank you to myneighbors who helped meclean up my yard. It looksbeautiful. Thank you for allyour hard work.

MISS JONES, MR. HERGERT
Miss Jones To Wed Mr.Hergert In JuneWedding
DEAR ABBY: I recently be-gan going to a new doctor af-ter the one I had been usingretired. I like her. She shows agenuine interest in my well-being, seems to diagnose welland I get good results fromher treatments. She doesn'tkeep me waiting and has acharming, warm personality.So what's the problem?
She's not very clean. There issometimes dirt under her fin-gernails. Her white coat is tat-tered and filthy, and when shegets close there's an odorthat's less than pleasant.Once after touching me, shewashed her hands by stickingher fingertips under cold wa-ter for a few seconds -- no soapor scrubbing. She had notwashed before touching me.There are so many good
things about her I hate to loseher as a doctor. She'll be in-sulted if I say anything. If Icancel an appointment, it willraise questions and lead tohurt feelings. What do I do? --FREAKED OUT IN ALBANYDEAR FREAKED OUT:
Find another doctor. (I wastempted to say, "Run for yourlife!") As warm, charming, car-ing and attentive as your doc-tor may be, her poor hygieneis a danger to your health.That she would present her-self to patients in the condi-tion you have described andpractice such poor hygienemakes me wonder how quali-fied she is to practice medi-cine.One other thing you should
consider doing -- because youlike her -- is to write her a let-ter explaining why you won'tbe seeing her anymore. Sheobviously needs a wake-upcall.
DEAR ABBY: My mother isdying of old age and heart fail-ure. It's not unexpected andwe are preparing for the endto come soon.The problem is I'm not a
good housekeeper, and I am inmarginal health. My husbandis disabled and is, frankly, aslob. I have given up trying tokeep a clean house while car-ing for him, my mother andmyself. I just don't have thestrength to do it all, and myhusband does nothing exceptlie around on his bed watch-ing TV or sleeping all day.I know when my mother
passes, people will want tocome here to visit or bring
food. My house is so dirty anddeplorable I don't want any-one to come here. Whatshould I do? I have thoughtabout hiring a service, but I'mnot sure I can affordit. Any other sugges-tions? -- OVER-WHELMED ANDTIRED IN TEXASDEAR OVER-
WHELMED ANDTIRED: Please ac-cept my sympathyfor the impendingloss of your mother.Even when death isaccepted as in-evitable, it isnonetheless heartwrenching. I'll offer two sug-gestions:The first is to talk to your
religious adviser about yourconcerns, because it's possiblesome volunteers from yourmother's church -- or yourown -- might be kind enough
to help you get your house inorder to receive guests afterthe funeral. The other wouldbe to request that guests meetafterward at the church re-
ception hall or fu-neral home for re-freshments.
DEAR AB-BY: I find it hard todeal with my P.E.teacher. She is rude,mean and she al-ways calls me out.When you need tomake a correction onyour test, shethrows the quiz atyou and then youhave to pick it up.
She is very impatient also. Doyou have any advice on how todeal with such a person? --DONE WITH HER INNORTH CAROLINADEAR DONE WITH HER:
Your teacher appears to be atroubled woman. The way to
deal with her would be foryour parents -- and the par-ents of any other students sheis treating this way -- to bringit to the attention of the prin-cipal of the school so it can beaddressed.

Three people were upstairs inthe apartment, and all hid inone bedroom together whenthey heard the back door beingbusted in downstairs.The occupants locked them-
selves in the bedroom and exit-ed onto the upstairs balcony.After hearing more than oneperson rambling through theresidence, one of the occupantsgrabbed a rifle that was in thebedroom and loaded it.As the occupants stood on
the balcony, with no way to es-cape, they heard the intruderskicking their bedroom door.
The door busted open and anintruder entered the bedroomdressed in camouflage with hisface covered by a black cloth.The occupant with the rifle
fired once, hitting the intrud-er. All of the intruders left the
scene and the occupants called911.Police determined that one
of the intruders had been shotbecause of the amount of bloodfound at the scene. They laterfound the body of Derrick Tim-mons, 20, at the entrance ofRiverview Heights apartmentcomplex.From the investigation, po-
lice know at least six offenderswere involved in the home in-vasion and they are now seek-ing the other three.Anyone with information is

November of 2011, two specta-tors were killed in BurkeCounty because of a wreck dur-ing one of these races.The sheriff is concerned
about not only those in the raceand watching it, but other peo-ple driving down the road.“I’m scared for the people
who are going down the roadand they come over a hill andget run over,” Harrell said. “I’mscared they will lose their life ifthere is a wreck while someoneis drag racing.”Harrell has notified the
Dublin Police Department andthe Georgia State Patrol aboutthis. If anyone sees what lookslike an illegal drag race on the
streets in the county or city,they need to call 911.“Hopefully we’ll have some-
body pretty close when it hap-pens,” Harrell said. “I’m get-ting complaints about it and Idon’t want folks to think we’renot addressing the issue. Iffolks in the community seethis, please call us whether it’smotorcycles, trucks or cars.”

East Laurens got out to ahot start in 2012, largely onthe strength of nearly flaw-less defense with very fewerrors and steady pitching.But that wasn't the case
Thursday evening againstTreutlen, as the Falconscommitted four costly mis-cues and walked 10 Vikingbatters. Treutlen took advan-tage of its opportunities andused a solid effort on themound from Brad Cammackto beat the Falcons, 9-2 in aGHSA non-region game.Cammack, a freshman
right-hander, tossed a com-plete game, surrenderingjust two runs on nine hits,striking out six batters andallowing just one free passfor the win."You can't make that
many errors and expect tobeat a good baseball team,"East Laurens head coachGene Mulkey said. "We prob-ably made more errorstonight than we have inthree or four ballgames puttogether."The Vikings (8-2) jumped
out to an early lead whenMatthew Powell led off thegame with a walk, advancedto second on a walk toCammack and scored on anRBI single by Kyle Rosen.The Falcons tied the game inthe bottom of the secondinning. Blake Garrettreached on an infield singleand then swiped second basebefore moving to third on agroundout. He scored whenTrevor Barwick perfectlyplaced a bunt down the firstbase line for asqueeze play.But the Falcons' shaky
defensive play started thenext half inning, Cammackled off with a single and thenadvanced to third when BradSumner reached on a mis-handled bunt. Rosen thenreached on an error, scoringCammack, and later in theinning, Miles Quinteroscored Sumner and Rosenwith a single to left, makingthe score 4-1.Treutlen continued to pile
it on in the top of the fourth.Tyler Cauley led off with awalk, and a misjudged flyball off the bat of Cammackturned into a double and

COLLEGE BASEBALL
South Carolina and Florida areexpected to be the class of theSoutheastern Conference after the twopowerhouse programs played for thenational championship last summer.They haven’t disappointed.The Gamecocks and Gators have
cruised through the non-conferenceportion of their schedule and are thefavorites to win the SEC as league playbegins on Friday throughout theleague.Other programs — including
Mississippi, Kentucky, LSU andArkansas — have also started well.South Carolina has a much different
roster than the past two seasons, whenthe Gamecocks won back-to-backnational titles, but they’ve infused newtalent into the lineup.The Gamecocks (15-3) travel to face
Kentucky (18-0) on Friday, with seniorleft-hander Michael Roth (2-0, 0.93ERA) taking the mound.The Gamecocks’ lineup will include
a few familiar faces, but also has fresh-
men like outfielder Tanner English andcatcher Greyson Greiner, who havequickly become crucial to the team’ssuccess.The Gamecocks routinely start four
freshmen.“First time in the league, just try
and make sure (the freshmen) are com-fortable,” South Carolina coach RayTanner said. “This game is too hard toplay when you’re not. You’ve playedsome games now, got some experience,have some fun, and be the best that youcan be. Don’t be afraid to make a mis-take. It happens in our game.“The biggest problem you have is
when you’re tentative. Then it’s toughfor good things to happen.”Florida has a veteran lineup led by
power hitters Mike Zunino and PrestonTucker, who have combined for 13homers. The Gators have a 16-1 recordwhile facing quality competition likeCal State Fullerton, Miami and FloridaState.Florida will host Vanderbilt (7-10)
beginning Friday.Zunino, the reigning SEC player of
the year, is off to another terrific start,
hitting .417 with seven homers and 23RBIs. But the rest of the lineup is rightthere with him — the Gators havesocked a league-high 27 homers.Gators’ coach Kevin O’Sullivan said
he’s pleased with the depth, whichshould bode well for the long grind ofSEC play.“It’s a long season — there’s 30 con-
ference games,” O’Sullivan said. “Eachone of them is important, there’s no onethat more important than the others.But you definitely want to get off to agood start and play well at home, so Ihope we do that this weekend.”Even though Florida and South
Carolina appear to be the class of theSEC, there’s plenty of depth.Seven teams are ranked in Baseball
America’s latest top 25 poll, includingFlorida, South Carolina, Arkansas, OleMiss, LSU, Georgia and MississippiState.Ole Miss and LSU are hoping to
bounce back from subpar seasons,when both programs didn’t qualify forthe eight-team SEC tournament ormake an NCAA regional.The Rebels have a 14-3 record and
host Auburn (10-7). LSU (14-3)hosts Mississippi State (14-5).Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said
one reason for the bounce-back sea-son is a year of adjustment to col-lege baseball’s new bats, whichhave dramatically reduced scoringand put an emphasis on pitchingand defense.But the Rebels have also hit.
Second baseman Alex Yarbroughleads the SEC with a .471 battingaverage while designated hitterZack Kirksey leads the league witheight homers and 30 RBI.“We didn’t completely change
the way we recruit, but there’s cer-tainly an emphasis on getting bal-ance in your lineup,” Bianco said.“We still need guys who can hit thehome run, but we also need guyswho can handle the bat, bunt andsteal a base when it’s needed. Ithink we’re better at all thosethings this season.”—————AP Sports Writer Pete Iacobelli

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) —Dontrelle Willis pumped hisfist with the enthusiasm of aguy getting a meaningful outlate in the season, and thenblessed himself and pointed tothe sky as he walked off themound.The D-Train is still in serv-
ice.Willis pitched a scoreless
inning, Scott Podsednik hit atiebreaking RBI single and aPhiladelphia Phillies splitsquad beat the Atlanta Braves6-4 on Thursday.It was an encouraging out-
ing for Willis after he gotrocked and left his last appear-ance because of arm tightnessand fatigue. Willis, a former22-game winner, is trying toresurrect his career in a newrole as a lefty specialist in thebullpen.“I took some tips from some
guys,” Willis said. “I definitelywarmed up a lot better. Islowed myself down. I felt a lotbetter out there. Just learningthe learning curve.”Willis walked the first bat-
ter he faced then retired JasonHeyward on a flyball andretired Tyler Pastornicky on adouble-play grounder.“That was a big play,” Willis
said. “That’s the kind of situa-tion that I’ll get put in and I’mfacing guys I might face in thebig leagues. I’m taking thistask seriously because it’s thefirst time I’ve done it.”Willis allowed five runs and
five hits in 1 2-3 innings in hisfirst two spring appearances.“Command is the biggest
thing, if he commands hispitches,” manager CharlieManuel said. “He’s funky. Hedefinitely has enough motionand stuff to be tough on left-ies.”Matt Diaz and Dan Uggla
hit solo homers for the Braves.Jair Jurrjens had a rough out-ing, allowing four runs andnine hits in four innings.Jurrjens went 12-3 in the
first half last year and madehis first All-Star team, but hedidn’t pitch during the finalmonth of last season because ofa bone bruise in his right knee.“They got some cheap hits,”
he said. “I felt good. I threwmore strikes. I was happy withmy control. I wish they hitsome balls to the fielders.Nothing you can do aboutthose cheap hits.”Joe Blanton went five
innings for Philadelphia,allowing three runs and fourhits.Podsednik had one of six
run-scoring singles for thePhillies. He’s competing for aroster spot and could earnplaying time in left field. JimThome, Jimmy Rollins, JohnMayberry Jr., Placido Polancoand Brian Schneider also hadRBI singles for the Phillies.
