Hite, Burkley discuss education budget at dinner

BY ED GEBERT
DHI Media Editor
egebert@timesbulletin.com
VAN WERT Predictions about
the future of the state education budget were tough to come by Thursday
evening, even though the special
guest speakers at Vantage Carer
Centers All Boards Dinner were two
people heavily involved in the process. But as State Rep. Tony Burkley
told the audience of school board
members and educators, it is just too
early to tell.
What can we say with certainty is
going to happen with the state budget
specifically as it relates to schools?
Burkley asked rhetorically. Really
not much at this point.
Burkley teamed with State Sen.
Cliff Hite to talk about what is happening in Columbus at this point to

update the board members, superintendents, and district treasurers in

attendance. Twelve districts were
represented at this years dinner as
well as representatives of Putnam
County ESC and Mercer County
ESC. No one was able to attend from
Western Buckeye ESC.
Burkley did point out that the
formula used in calculation of current agricultural use value was poor,
resulting in huge increases on farm
land values and overvaluing the
wealth of many rural school districts
throughout the state. Based on his
conversations with fellow legislators, Burkley feels the calculation
formula is likely to be changed
before figures are totaled in calculating school funding in the budgeting
process.

LIMA Barbecue forks up,

grillmasters. The Allen County
Fairgrounds will host a new event
May 30 and 31.
Lima PigFest includes a Kansas
City Barbecue Society non-professional Backyard Grillers
Competition with the winner
walking away with a new grill
and the title of Limas Pitmaster.
PigFest is unlike any other
ribs and barbecue festival ever
held in Lima, PigFest USA owner
Chad Mullins said Thursday. We
started with a traditional ribfest
and added a cruise-in, a cookoff, music and plenty of stuff for
the kids. Its designed to be an
affordable, family-oriented event
with something for everyone.
Admission is $5 for those 15
and older and that includes both
days.
Attendees can expect to sample pulled pork, brisket, rib-eye
steak, chicken, shrimp and all
the trimmings, as well as popular
childrens fare like hamburgers
and hot dogs and a small selection of fair food like ice cream
and funnel cakes.
Well have pony rides for $2

and free live music both days,

Mullins said. The guy wanted to
charge $3 and I said, No. Well
charge $2 so everyone can ride
the ponies. I want everyone to
come out and enjoy good barbecue and a good time.
Bounce houses, face-painting,
games and prizes are also include
and on Saturday, kids can meet
the real Elsa from Frozen.
Entertainment on Saturday
includes Elements, a cover band
that specializes in blues and jazz,
and The Smokin Ham Band,
a country band based out of
London, Ohio.
On Sunday, Jason Pauls Me
and My Guitar will play.
Westgate Charity Car Show
Coordinator Andy Maravola is in
charge of the cruise-in and looks
for a good showing.
Drivers like the cruise-ins,
Maravola said. They can come
and go as they like and if they
want to sit and shoot the breeze
they can.
Maravola is expecting more
than 350-400 hot rods, muscle
cars and trucks for the event.
Were gonna charge them $5
to enter the cruise-in and the
proceeds from that will go to
help children with autism, he
added.

Paul Harter of Harter and Son Funeral Home watched
the demolition of the old funeral home garage across the
street from the funeral home on East Third Street. The
lot will be used for funeral home parking, according to
Harter. Harter said the building, purchased from Hermie
Dienstberger about 1945 or 1946, was Delphos Tent and
Awning at that time. Harter said, It is my understanding
that the area was originally the site of a sawmill.

The Herald 3

STATE/LOCAL

My parents made me do it!

This
and
That

I had noticed that on Georg Eylerd Hrsten baptism record a

Georg Speller was listed as godfather. Was I on the right trail?
And why did her father have the double surname, SpellerHrst?
A research book at the Delphos Library gave me a clue
to what might have happened. The book A Genealogical
Handbook of German Research by Larry O. Jensen had this
information: Double surnames were often created when a
particular male line died out. In order to preserve the name,
the male marrying into this line would either use both his surname and the maiden name of his wife or he would go by his
wifes maiden name only, thus preserving the one name. This
was not usually a sacrifice at all to the young man who usually
gained by the arrangement. Due to the law of Primogeniture,
(where the eldest son received the inheritance) other sons in
the family sometimes married into families not having any
male heirs and by legally changing their names they were able
to receive the inheritance, which they could never had done
under their own surname.
The custom of changing ones surname after marrying the
daughter who had inherited a farm would, however, die out
about 1800.
I continued combing the microfilms for answers but it
looked like I had hit a brick wall.
Two things happened in the spring of 2001 that would
smash my brick wall to smithereens. First I decided to connect my PC to the world wide web. Then, Mom and Dad,
who had been sharing the information we had found with the
relatives, received some information from my second cousin
Tom Hoersten.
Tom had found a query on ROOTSWEB OH-CENSUSLOOKUP from an A.G.J. Schroder. Mr. Schroder was looking
for the descendants of Florenz Hoersten. The query contained
his email address and I immediately sent him a message (one
of my first ever emails). Thus began the incredible journey
of discovering my Hoersten ancestors with A.G.J.s (Andre)
help.
The Hrst-hof (farm) was first mentioned in 1498. (Most
parts of Germany began using permanent surnames around the
1500s.) On the occasion of the appointment of a new bishop of
Munster in that year, taxes were raised and among the farmers

by EVELYN MARTIN

They were kept in the family Bible, several sheets of looseleaf binder paper on which my mom had transcribed information about our Hoersten ancestry from a tablet written by
my great-aunt Christina Hoersten. I would look at them every
once and awhil, always wondering about my great-grandfather, the guy with the funny sounding name, Florenz.
For many years, I dabbled in genealogy, collecting bits
and pieces of information. Doing it the pre-computer way by
searching books, microfilms of local newspapers and other
records.
In an old German-English dictionary, I found the definition
of Hoersten. Hoersten/Hrsten is to build an eerie (meaning
an eagles nest). Hrst is eerie or thicket/forest.
Then in March 1998 Mom and Dad stopped in to tell me
they had been to the LDS Family History Center in Lima. They
had ordered four microfilms containing the church records from
Hopsten and Halverde, the villages where our Hoersten ancestors were from. Dad asked if I would be interested in looking at
the microfilms when they arrived. Silly question, Dad.
Using the information from Christinas tablet we went
back year by year. I copied down every record containing
the Hrsten name. (The umlaut over the o gives the o the her
sound. The umlaut was dropped and the e was put in here in
the US.) I was doing pretty good until I came to the baptism
record of Georg Eylerd (Eilert) Hrsten. He was baptized on
22 Sept. 1780 and his parents were Joan Eylert Hoersten and
Maria Cath. Hoersten. That his parents would have the same
surname was confusing to me because the mothers maiden
name was always included in German records. Did this mean
she was born a Hrsten? But that was not my main problem.
Suddenly the Hrsten name disappeared. It did not go back
any farther.
Could the name have originally been Hrst? I found a
baptism dated 27 Aug. 1779 of Maria Anna Margaretha Hrst.
Her parents were Joan Eylerd Speller-Hrst and Cath. Hrst.

around Hopsten a Ludike Hrst is listed in the tax roll.

The farm would pass from father to son for many generations until 1776. In 1776, Joan Lucas Hrst was the Kolon
(farmer of a farm with hereditary title) of the Hrst farm. His
only son had died young so the farm passed to Joan Eylerd
Speller, the husband of the oldest daughter Maria Catharina.
To preserve the farm name Joan Eylerd Speller would use
either the double surname Speller-Hrst or just Hrst/Hrsten.
(The suffix en was added to denote the name was originally
the wifes maiden name.) Joan Eylerd was familiar with the
practice of changing ones surname to the wifes maiden name
to preserve the farm name because his father had done the
same thing.
Joan Eylerd Speller-Hrsts father was born Joan Lucas
Schrader. He became Joan Lucas Speller on 19 Jan. 1751
when he married Anna Margaretha Speller, the heiress of the
Speller farm.
So when you follow the direct male line back the surname
changes from Hoersten/Hrsten, to Speller, then to Schrader/
Scrader and finally to the first known ancestor Luce Scraer/
Scrader circa 1600. The Hrsten/Hrst name came from our
female ancestor Maria Catharina Hrst born 20 Nov. 1754.
The experience related above demonstrates how the Internet
used in combination with other traditional research tools such
as books, microfilms, knowledgeable experts, archives and
libraries, extended my reach as a family historian.

Cultivate a sense of leisure

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they
live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toilthis is the
gift of God.

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

Work and Productivity may be important, but they arent the only important things in
life, or even the most important things in life. Most of us would probably agree that God
and our family should come before our job, and that the whole point of work is to help
us support ourselves and our families. A much neglected area of many peoples lives today is leisure. We are so busy with work and the workaday aspects of life (e.g., cooking,
cleaning, etc.) that we dont find time for play. Play can be anything from playing catch
with your children to enjoying music to playing games. The arts are also an important
aspect of leisure, and simply going to a museum or to the movies can be a nice break
from the monotony of our work lives. Children are often better at playing than adults,
so you might just let the kids decide on the playtime activity. Try something you havent
tried before. Throw a Frisbee or make up a new game. Put on a play with your family or
friends, or play a guessing game. There is no end to the ways in which we might enjoy
our leisure time.
Christopher Simon

Our local churches invite you to join them for their activities and services.

Reds beat Pirates 3-2,

sweep opening series
By JOE KAY
Associated Press
CINCINNATI Joey Votto added to his resurgent series
with his first homer since May 10 and Gregory Polancos
ninth-inning error sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 victory
and a season-opening sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates on
Thursday.
The Reds improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2011,
when they won their first five games. The Pirates hadnt lost
their first three games of a season since
2006, when they started 0-6 on the road.
Votto hit a tying 2-run homer in the
sixth inning. The NLs Most Valuable
Player of 2010 didnt play after July 5 last
season because of strained muscles above
his left knee. He was 5 for 14 with four
RBIs in the series.
Todd Frazier led off the ninth with a double off Rob
Scahill (0-1) and advanced on Devin Mesoracos groundout.
After Jay Bruce was intentionally walked, Polanco muffed
Marlon Byrds liner to right for a game-ending error.
Aroldis Chapman (1-0) fanned two of the three batters he
faced in the ninth.
Pedro Alvarez singled, homered and scored twice for the
Pirates, who wasted leads in each of the last two games.
All three games had rain delays, with Thursdays featuring
a 1-hour, 14-minute break in the middle of the fourth inning.
The three delays totaled 4 hours, 23 minutes.
The first pitch on Thursday came less than 12 hours after
Vottos RBI single in the 11th inning gave Cincinnati a 5-4
victory at 1:26 a.m.
Anthony DeScalafini, acquired from Miami in the trade for
Mat Latos, made his first start for the Reds and gave up five
hits over six innings, fanning six.
Polancos infield single with the bases loaded scored
Alvarez in the fifth.
Alvarez had a solo homer in the sixth for a 2-0 lead.
A.J. Burnett, who lost an NL-leading 18 games last season
with the Phillies, made a solid start in his return to the Pirates.
He gave up four hits and fanned seven in 5 1/3 innings.
Vottos homer tied it 2-2 in the sixth.

Bauer, 3 Indians relievers lose

no-hit bid in 9th vs Astros
By KRISTIE RIEKEN
Associated Press
HOUSTON Even if
four Cleveland Indians pitchers had combined on a no-hitter, manager Terry Francona
wasnt certain it wouldve
been cause for celebration.
Jed Lowrie broke up the
bid by homering with one
out in the ninth inning
for Houstons only hit
Thursday in a 5-1 win for
the Indians.
Before that homer,
Trevor Bauer and the
Indians bullpen had
walked seven batters.
I asked Millsy (bench
coach Brad Mills) in the
ninth: If we get through this
with a no-hitter are we supposed to be excited? I wasnt
really sure, Francona said.
Theres a lot of baserunners. So that was probably
the least of our thoughts. We
were just trying to set up our
staff and win a game and do
what we think is right.
Bauer was pulled after

throwing 111 pitches through

six innings. He struck out a
career-high 11 and walked
five.
He was slightly more
excited about the prospect of
taking part in a no-no.
Anytime you have a
no-hitter going, its fun
and theres a special air in
the building, Bauer said.
Obviously its unfortunate to see the home run
but the team won and at
the end of the day thats
what matters.
Relievers
Kyle
Crockett and Scott
Atchison each pitched a
scoreless inning before Nick
Hagadone took over.
Hagadone struck out Chris
Carter to begin the ninth.
Lowrie then sent a 94-mph
fastball far over the left-center field wall for Houstons
only hit.
Lowrie and the Astros
were relieved to escape with
a hit.

Record 7 Wildcats announce

intentions to enter NBA draft
Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. Kentucky has a lot of spots to fill
now that a record seven players have announced theyll enter
the NBA draft.
In a news conference Thursday, 7-footer Willie CauleyStein, twin guards Andrew and Aaron Harrison and freshman
forwards Karl-Anthony Towns and Trey
Lyles all said they will turn pro. Also
entering are 7-0 reserve center Dakari
Johnson and backup shooting guard
Devin Booker, completing an exodus by
the Wildcats top seven scorers.
The 6-11 Towns could be the first
player chosen overall on June 25 and
Cauley-Stein and Lyles could soon follow with both projected as possible lottery selections. Booker
is also a potential first-rounder, with the rest projected to go
in the second.
It was a tough decision for all of us but we wanted to
chase our dreams, Aaron Harrison said.
Seated before a backdrop with blown-up trading cards of
recent Wildcats standouts who went pro, Kentuckys largest group of players explained the decisions that were long
expected. Coach John Calipari joined them, after saying this
week that five to seven players could enter.
Confirmation was more visual than verbal as Calipari
asked those who were leaving to stand up. After they all
looked at each other, they stood up to applause in the practice
gym before answering questions.
Such leavings have become somewhat expected in
Lexington in a one-and-done environment where players
and the program succeed despite single-season stays. Calipari
has developed 19 NBA draft picks, including 15 first-round
selections and two No. 1 overall picks.

Spieth shoots 64 for another

lead on Day 1 of Masters
By PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga.
Jordan Spieth was already
the hottest player on the PGA
Tour.
He kept right on going at
the Masters.
The 21-year-old Texan
turned in a brilliant opening
round at Augusta National,
challenging the major championship scoring record on
the way to an 8-under 64
Thursday.
Spieth birdied eight of
the first 14 holes, his shots
so precise that he often had
nothing more than tap-ins
with the putter. He rolled
in a 6-footer at the 12th,
a 2-footer at the 13th, then
nearly holed out from behind
a tree along the 14th fairway,
the ball striking the flagstick

before settling about 2 feet the 17th ended his hopes of

away for another easy birdie. catching Spieth.

he admittedly tired down the

No more UAB football? Explayers hold spring game anyway

Associated Press
Former UAB players are making
sure the Blazers get at least one more
game at Legion Field.
Theyll gather Saturday for the Sons
of UAB alumni flag football game
while other schools around the country
are planning spring scrimmages for
their current teams and fans. Coach
Bill Clark started the alumni game last
spring after his hiring and its being
kept alive this year though the program
was shut down in December.
Former players, alumni and supporters decided to hold it again for reasons
extending beyond staying connected to
UAB and former teammates.
Lee Miller, the Blazers former kicker, expects some 120 program alums to
participate, including Carolina Panthers
teammates Joe Webb and Darrin
Reaves. They havent given up hope of
a football revival.
Obviously theres a huge, somber
cloud hanging over the university, really, over the whole football issue right
now, said Miller, now a high school
soccer coach. I think the vibe toward
this event is positive but theres always

this undercurrent. The next question is,

How can we get the program back?
Theres a lot of people out there, including me, that are trying to make that
happen.
Its anybodys guess if it will.
University President Ray Watts
announced the shutdown shortly after
UAB became bowl-eligible after
a decade of struggles and coaching
changes, citing the expense of sustaining a competitive program.
A task force has employed a firm
to re-evaluate the study cited in
Watts decision. The Blazers status in
Conference USA is in limbo and student
and faculty groups have issued no-confidence votes against Watts.
Cutting football was a body blow to
the fans but even more devastating to
players like Miller and Josh Evans, the
first Blazer to play in the NFL.
Its grief, said Evans, who plans
to drive from Atlanta for the game. I
still cant believe its over with. I never
would have thought this would happen.
I always thought it would get better. Im
still in complete shock.
The game is expected to include
players from every step of UABs foot-

ball evolution over a quarter century,

from club level starting in 1989 to
Division I-A starting in 1996. Miller
said its not clear if Clark will be able
to make it because of a family commitment.
Players from his 2014 team expected
to attend include speedy receiver and
return man J.J. Nelson, who is hoping
to be selected in the NFL draft. Also
expected to participate are kicker Ty
Long and 27-year-old tight end Tristan
Henderson, among the players whose
emotional responses when Watts told
the team of his decision were captured
on a video that has drawn more than a
million views on YouTube.
Darrin Reaves Sr., a former UAB
running back, is expected to attend
along with sons Darrin Jr. and Marcus,
also ex-Blazers.
More than 40 underclassmen
have transferred to other teams. That
group included linebacker Jake Ganus
(Georgia), offensive tackle Victor
Salako (Oklahoma State) and running
back Jordan Howard (Indiana).
This is a chance for others to express
their support for UAB footballs history
and, perhaps, future.

Appeal hearing set for RCR vs

NASCAR on Newman tire penalty
Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas Richard Childress Racing will

present its appeal next week of penalties levied by NASCAR
against Ryan Newmans team for allegedly manipulating tires.
In a statement Thursday, Richard Childress revealed the
appeal hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
NASCAR has said tires taken from Newman after the
March 22 race in California failed an independent inspection
and had been altered to intentionally release air pressure
during the race.
Newman and car owner Childress were docked 75 points
each. The points would be reinstated if RCR wins the appeal.
IndyCar forcing manufacturers to strengthen body
components
INDIANAPOLIS IndyCar officials are requiring engine
manufacturers Honda and Chevrolet to make structural
upgrades before this weekends Indy Grand Prix of Louisiana.
The announcement, made Thursday, is intended to minimize the amount of damage involved in car-to-car contact. In
the season opening race at St. Petersburg, some of the caution
periods took longer than expected to clean up because of
debris on the track.

IndyCar is using new aerodynamic kits this season.

Derrick Walker, the series president of competition, says
the upgrades include adding components that will improve the
overall strength of the body work. The two engine manufacturers, Walker says, have already redesigned the components
and the modifications have been approved by series officials.
Red Bull could quit F1 if Renault has no competitive
engine
VIENNA Red Bull will quit Formula One if engine supplier Renault doesnt manage to build a competitive engine,
according to company owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
Well only stay in Formula One if we have a competitive team and we need a competitive power unit for that,
Mateschitz told the Austria Press Agency on Thursday. If
we dont have one, we can race with the best car and the best
drivers and still have no chance of competing for victory.
Mateschitz didnt mention a timeframe for improvement by the
French manufacturer, whose contract runs until the end of 2016.
The problem is, we cant control it, the Austrian billionaire said, ruling out the option of Red Bull starting to build
its own engine. We are not a car manufacturer who could
justify the investment, so we rely on Renault to close the gap
to Ferrari and, above all, Mercedes.

Bengals re-sign running back Cedric Peerman

Associated Press
CINCINNATI The Bengals
signed running back Cedric Peerman
to a new contract on Thursday, keeping
one of their top special teams players.
Peerman became an unrestricted free
agent after leading the Bengals special
teams in tackles last season.
The sixth-year veteran has rushed
for 334 yards on 64 carries with one
touchdown during his career. He also
has been one of Cincinnatis top special
teams players, averaging nearly a dozen
tackles over the last four seasons.
He played in every game in each
of the last two seasons. Last season,
Peerman carried 15 times for 43 yards
and had three catches for 27 yards.
Browns sign free agent tight end
Rob Housler
CLEVELAND The Browns have
signed free agent tight end Rob Housler.
Housler, who spent the past four
seasons with Arizona, at least temporar-

ily fills the void left when former Pro

Bowler Jordan Cameron signed with
Miami.
The 27-year-old Housler caught 105
passes for 1,133 yards and a
touchdown in four years with
the Cardinals. Last season,
the 6-5, 250-pounder had nine
receptions for 129 yards.
Camerons departure was
a major blow to a Cleveland
offense lacking quality playmakers. The team will be without wide receiver Josh Gordon in 2015
after he was suspended by the NFL at
least one year for multiple drug infractions.
Housler gives Cleveland depth at
tight end along with Gary Barnidge and
Jim Dray, solid blockers who combined
for just 30 receptions and one TD last
season.
Colts exercise 5th-year option on
quarterback Andrew Luck
INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis

will use the teams fifth-year option to

keep Andrew Luck in town through at
least 2016.
Colts officials made the expected
announcement Thursday.
Team owner Jim Irsay has
repeatedly said that the Colts
plan to make Luck one of the
highest-paid players in the
league when his rookie contract
expires.
Since Indianapolis drafted
Luck with the No. 1 overall
pick in 2012, he has started all 48
games, led the Colts to the playoffs
three straight times and been to the Pro
Bowl each season.
Last year, he set franchise single-season records with 4,761 yards passing,
40 touchdown passes and eight straight
300-yard games. He also led the Colts
to their first AFC championship game
since 2009.

Boston Marathon
Meyer
selects Grand Marshal

and Buckeyes keeping an

eye out for potential problems

Associated Press
BOSTON Dick and Rick Hoyt, who over the decades
have become among the most recognizable faces of the Boston
Marathon, may not be running as a team this year but they are
both very much involved in the festivities.
Dick Hoyt, 74, on Thursday was named Grand Marshal for
this years race on April 20.
Dicks son, Rick, is a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy who
uses a wheelchair. His dad has pushed his son across the marathon finish line 32 times since 1980, including last year.
Together, they have finished more than 1,000 races and
triathlons.
Due in part to Dicks health, they intended 2013 to be
their final race together but they never finished because of the
explosions at the finish line that killed three spectators and
injured more than 260.
Rick, 53, is still in the thick of the action, however, and this
year will be pushed by Billerica dentist Bryan Lyons, a member of Team Hoyt, the family nonprofit that helps the physically disabled become productive members of the community
through sports and other activities.
Year after year, Dick and Rick Hoyt toed the starting line
in Hopkinton to celebrate the Boston Marathon, showing millions of runners and spectators they could achieve anything
and that there are no limits, said Tom Grilk, executive director
of the Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the race.
Dick and Rick Hoyt will forever be synonymous with the
Boston Marathon and the sport of running.
As Grand Marshal, the elder Hoyt will ride in a pace car
ahead of the lead runners, heralding to spectators that thousands of runners will soon be coming.
Previous grand marshals have included 4-time winner Bill
Rodgers, as well as Roberta Gibb and Sara Mae Berman, the
first two women to win the race in the days before women were
even allowed to officially enter.

By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Urban Meyer and
his Ohio State Buckeyes are busy this
spring.
Of course, theyre working their way
through 15 practices like every other
major college program.
But in the wake of last seasons
national championship, theyre also in
demand and making side trips to the
White House, clinics and TV and radio
shows.
Just this week Meyer and some
players threw out the first pitch at a
Cincinnati Reds home game, where they

were mobbed by fans and media.

The Buckeyes return all but four
starters on each side of the ball, have
a stockpile of quality players available
and will undoubtedly enter the
2015 season as college footballs
top-ranked team.
But there are still some potential trouble spots Meyer and his
staff are watching.
One trouble spot was averted
Thursday.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller,
who posted a picture of himself on social
media with health care and nutritional
products, committed a minor violation of
NCAA rules but will not be penalized.

Wildcats

(Continued from page 6)

In 2012, five Kentucky underclassmen plus senior Darius

Miller were selected following the schools eighth national
championship. This years tall, talented squad made a determined run at history with a school-record 38-game winning
streak that kept them atop the rankings all season. They were
the prohibitive favorites to win title No. 9 and become the first
unbeaten champions since Indiana in 1976.
The latter two quests came to a sudden halt with Saturday
nights 71-64 loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four.
That stunning loss immediately raised the question of how
many Wildcats would depart after a season that might not be
topped. After all, many of them surprised Calipari and others last
spring by deciding to return for second and even third seasons in
an effort to win a championship and improve their draft stock.
The gamble appears to have worked out for players such as
Cauley-Stein, who chose to return for his junior season after
missing last years title game with an ankle injury sustained in
the NCAA Tournament. The quick, agile shot-blocking threat

The Ohio State athletic department

issued a statement on Thursday updating
the status of the 2-time Big Ten offensive player of the year.
Miller posted his picture on
Instagram on March 24 with
products from AdvoCare.
Ohio State reported the
incident to the NCAA, which
reinstated Millers eligibility
without any conditions.
Miller is a graduate student who
started three seasons but missed all
of the Buckeyes championship season
last year after shoulder surgery. He is
expected to play this fall after rehabbing
through spring workouts.

was a national player of the year finalist this past season and
now stands to make millions of dollars by developing into a
possible lottery pick along with Towns.
Though the Harrisons improved on the court, it remains to
be seen whether their draft stock increased. Andrew is projected as a late first-rounder at best, with brother Aaron expected
to go in the second round.
Johnson figures to be a second-rounder with work ahead in
many areas of his game. But his size, athleticism and willingness
to fight near the basket on both ends has made him a draft hopeful.
Booker had inconsistent stretches this season, like many
shooters, but possesses a smooth stroke that makes him an
attractive choice.
North Carolinas Tokoto leaving early for NBA draft
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. North Carolina says forward J.P.
Tokoto will forgo his final season of eligibility to enter the
NBA draft.
Coach Roy Williams said in a statement Thursday that
Tokotos decision comes with his blessing after multiple
meetings since the end of the season.

dont hit it at all.
Roberto Perez and Jose Ramirez
homered for Cleveland.
Astros starter Asher Wojciechowski
gave up four runs and eight hits in 4-plus
innings of his major-league debut.
Bauer was born in California but
makes his offseason home in the suburb
of Spring, Texas, about 30 minutes from
Minute Maid Park. The 24-year-old righty
began last season in Triple-A and went 5-8
with a 4.18 ERA in 26 starts for Cleveland.
Francona tapped Crockett for the
seventh with Bauer already well over
100 pitches. He kept the free-swinging Astros off-balance with a fastball
between 92-94 mph and offspeed pitches that dipped into the mid-to-low 80s.
Bauer worked around four walks in
the first two innings.
Michael Bourn hit a leadoff double,
Ramirez singled and Jason Kipnis made
it 1-0 with a sacrifice fly.
Yan Gomes doubled to start the second and scored on a 2-out single by
Perez to make it 2-0.
Perez homered in the fourth and
Ramirez connected in the fifth.

TRAINERS ROOM
Pirates: Josh Harrison was hit in the lower back by
DeScalafinis pitch in the fifth but stayed in the game.
Reds: No decision has been made on where Homer Bailey
will make his rehab start on April 12. Hes recovering from
surgery on his right forearm last September.
ON DECK:
Pirates: Jeff Locke starts the opener of a series in Milwaukee.
Hes 2-2 in seven career starts against the Brewers.
Reds: Jason Marquis makes his first start in the majors since
July 19, 2013, facing the Cardinals. He had Tommy John surgery in 2013 and pitched in the Phillies farm system last year.

TRAINERS ROOM
Indians: LF Michael Brantley was
out of the lineup for a second straight
day because of lower-back stiffness. He
was removed from the lineup about 80
minutes before Wednesday nights game.
Brantley missed time in spring training
with a similar problem. Francona doesnt
think the problem is serious but says
Brantley will be examined by doctors in
Cleveland this morning. Brantley was an
All-Star for the first time last season.
ASTRODOME ANNIVERSARY

President Lyndon B. Johnson attended
the game as did Texas governor John
Connally, who threw out the first pitch.

Abby, is it wrong to celebrate a silver anniversary
with Alex? If not, should I
send invitations to my two
sisters? -- LONG-TERM IN
LONG BEACH
DEAR LONG-TERM:
Of course its not wrong!
The option of marriage
wasnt available to gay
people 25 years ago. A
quarter of a century together is something to celebrate.
Knowing your sisters
feelings, youd be justified
in excluding them from
your guest list. However,
consider taking the high
road and inviting them anyway. Then, whether they
attend or not becomes their
decision.

others and your insight into
trends will bring you rewards
and opportunities. Others will
be inspired by your adventurous and exciting nature. Getting involved in charitable or
benevolent organizations will
spark new ideas and motivate
you to start something new.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) -- A joint venture will
work in your favor. Property
investments look promising.
Do your homework and discuss your plans with the people who can offer you relevant
advice.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- Trim your expenses and
keep an eye on your assets. A
thorough scrutiny of your personal documents can reveal
ways to improve your financial status. A family member
will try your patience.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20) -- Look for ways to meet
new people. Your desire to
travel will stretch your finances. Find venues closer to home
that are cost-efficient and
could inspire your ambition.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Business meetings or
seminars will introduce you
to like-minded individuals.
Mixing business with pleasure will lead to a social opportunity. Co-workers will be
impressed by your humor and
friendliness.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Get your work out of the way
so you can spend more time
with friends and family. Children and elders will appreciate
any effort you make to include
them in your plans.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

wary of anyone who tries to
involve you in a dubious venture. Any financial decisions

personal issues before offering advice to others. Remaining neutral and keeping your
opinions to yourself will be
the best course of action.

so dont sell yourself short.
Focus on your attributes, and
avoid comparing yourself to
other people.

20) -- Be assertive if someone
tries to entangle you in something that goes against your
principles. If you damage your
reputation, it will be difficult
to repair.

Wisconsin man accused

of trying to join Islamic
State group
BY DANA FERGUSON
Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. A
Wisconsin man accused of
traveling to Turkey as part
of a failed attempt to join the
Islamic State in Syria was
ordered held without bond
Thursday for trying to aid a
terrorist group.
Joshua Van Haften, 34,
made his first court appearance a day after being arrested at OHare International
Airport in Chicago. During
the brief hearing in federal
court in Madison, Van Haften
did not contest his detention.
A newly unsealed criminal
complaint charges Van Haften
with attempting to provide
material support to a foreign
terrorist organization.
The complaint, which had
been under seal since Oct.
28, alleges that Van Haften
talked to people about his
plan before leaving the
United States in August for
Istanbul. But it says he was
unable to cross the border
into Syria.
The complaint says Van
Haftens former roommate
told FBI officers that he made
comments referring to jihad.
When asked to explain what
he meant, the complaint says,
Van Haften folded a $100 bill
to make it look like the twin
towers of the World Trade
Center that were destroyed in
the Sept. 11 attack. The complaint says Van Haften folded
another $100 bill to look like
a missile.
Van Haftens lawyer,
Joseph Bugni, said he looks
forward to having all the
facts brought to light.
The next hearing was set
for April 24.

Elder care costs

keep climbing
BY MATTHEW CRAFT
Associated Press
NEW YORK The steep cost of caring for the elderly continues to climb. The
median bill for a private room in a nursing home is now $91,250 a year, according to an industry survey out Thursday.
The annual Cost of Care report from
Genworth Financial tracks the staggering
rise in expenses for long-term care, a
growing financial burden for families,
governments and insurers like Genworth.
The cost of staying in a nursing home has
increased 4 percent every year over the
last five years, the report says. Last year,
the median bill was $87,600.
Most people dont realize how
expensive this care can be until a parent
or family member needs it, said Joe
Caldwell, director of long-term services
at the National Council on Aging. And
then its a real shock.
The annual report from Genworth,
which sells policies to cover long-term
care, looks at costs for a variety of services, including adult daycare, and home
health aides. And nursing home bills are
rising at the fastest pace, twice the rate
of U.S. inflation over the last five years.
One year in a nursing home now costs
nearly as much as three years of tuition at
a private college.
For its report, Genworth surveyed
15,000 nursing homes, assisted living
facilities and other providers across the
country in January and February. It found
wide differences from state to state. In
Oklahoma, for instance, the median cost
for a year in a nursing home came out to
$60,225. In Connecticut, it was $158,775.
Alaska had the highest costs by far, with
one year at $281,415.
So, who pays the nursing-home bill?
A lot of people believe Medicare will
step in and cover them, but thats just

not true, said Bruce Chernoff, president

and CEO of The Scan Foundation, a
charitable organization. Medicare will
cover some short visits for recovery after
a surgery, for instance, but not long-term
stays.
Often enough, experts say senior citizens wind up spending their savings until
they hit their last $2,000, and at that point
they can turn to Medicaid, the governments health insurance for the poor, to
help cover the bill. As a result, Medicaid
pays for more than half of the countrys
long-term care bill. That cost accounts
for more than a quarter of Medicaid
spending, according to the Kaiser Family
Foundation.
Genworth and other insurers offer
long-term care policies to help people
shoulder the financial burden. But people
have to be healthy enough to qualify for
coverage. Those who take out policies
find their insurance bill rises steadily as
they age.
Caldwell described Genworths survey as essentially a marketing pitch. Of
course they want people to see how much
it costs to sell long-term care insurance,
he said. What theyre not telling you
is that the long-term care coverage is
becoming more and more unaffordable
for middle-class families.
Mounting costs have also pushed
many insurance companies out of the
business. Four of the five largest providers have either scaled back their business
or stopped offering new policies. The
largest provider, Genworth, has struggled
under the weight of old policies.
Less-intensive care remains much
cheaper than staying at a nursing home,
according to Genworths survey. One
year in in an assisted-living facility runs
$43,200. A year of visits from an agencys home health aides runs $45,760.

Large tornado causes

significant damage in
central Illinois
BY HERBERT G. McCANN and ALAN SCHER ZAGIER
Associated Press
CHICAGO At least one large tornado touched down
Thursday night in central Illinois, and authorities said initial
reports indicate there was significant damage.
The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado was
on the ground and urged residents on Twitter to seek shelter
immediately if in the path of this dangerous storm.
An Illinois sheriffs dispatcher who declined to give her
name due to department policy said there was widespread
damage but no immediate reports of injuries when the tornado
swept across the town of Hillcrest, about 80 miles west of
Chicago.
Robin Biggs, an employee at the Super 8 motel in nearby
Rochelle, said she took video of the storm, which she said
took everything out in its path.
I have lived her 18 years and I have never seen a tornado
that big or stay on the ground that long, she said. What we
have is a small one touching the ground and going right back
up, but this just stayed down and went all the way across the
horizon.
Koleen Kessen, who works at the Comfort Inn & Suites in
Rochelle, said she went outside and spotted the tornado a few
miles away after hearing sirens. She said hotel guests told her
the tornado leveled a restaurant.
Winnebago County Sheriffs spokesman Ken DeCoster said
funnel clouds also were spotted near Rockford a few miles
north but did not touch down. However, television footage
showed multiple homes damaged in the unincorporated community of Fairdale.
The system, packing hail and damaging winds, was headed
east as storms rumbled through the Midwest and Plains during
the regions first widespread bout of severe weather.
The severe weather forced the cancellation of more than
850 flights at Chicagos OHare International Airport and dozens of others at the citys Midway International Airport.
The Weather Service in Davenport, Iowa, said it had
received multiple reports of tornadoes in Scott and Clinton
counties in the far eastern part of the state but no reports of
injuries.
Minor injuries were reported Thursday in central Missouri
when storms toppled trees, utility poles and billboards.
The National Weather Services enhanced risk area
stretched from northeast Texas to Michigan, Wisconsin and
across the upper Midwest. Forecasters say Philadelphia,
Washington and other parts of the Atlantic coast could see the
same weather patterns Friday, including Augusta, Georgia,
where the Masters golf tournament is taking place through the
weekend.
Its quite an expansive area, said Greg Carbin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services Storm Prediction
Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
In central Indiana, a 75-year-old woman died Wednesday
night after being swept into a rain-swollen creek near
Indianapolis. Pittsboro Fire Chief Bill Zeunik said the woman,
identified as Doris D. Martin, was clearing debris from a waterfilled ditch in her front yard along with her husband when she
fell in and was swept away into a drainage pipe. Martins body
was found in a creek nearly a mile away.

Budget
(Continued from page 1)
The last spreadsheet
that you see is much better
than the first one, Hite
reminded the crowd. He
then thanked the group for
not overreacting to some
unfavorable budget figures
for some districts that were
released from the governors office at the outset of
the budgeting process.
Hite also talked about
Senate Bill 3, the bill
he sponsored which is
designed to cut the required
standardized testing time in
schools and reduces mandates for schools in the
state. Hite co-sponsored the
bill with Senate President
Keith Faber. It was passed
by the Senate earlier this
year.
This is long overdue,
Hite declared. And were
not done. This is the first
part. The House has the bill
and I will be going over
there to talk to any member
to see if we can hang onto as
much of the bill as we can.

Hite pointed out also that

he is on the Testing Task
Force.
We have some of you
who are here to give us
testimony on how ridiculous this testing process is.
Were working on it. We
know that. Weve heard all
the horror stories on technology, administering, the
thick booklet you have to
read before you give the
test, we get it. So were
going to work on that. And
I will say this, my goal is to
give as much flexibility to the
locals as possible. We havent
figured out how we are going
to do that yet. It doesnt mean
there will be a full elimination of PARC or maybe
there will, we dont know
yet.
Both Hite and Burkley
expressed optimism over
early progress on the bills and
promised to keep on fighting.
The Vantage All-Boards
Dinner is an annual gathering
for administration and school
boards of the member districts.
