Peace Officers Memorial Day event setBeth [email protected]

POINT PLEASANT — May 15 is Peace Officers Memorial Day and the Mason County Sher-iff’s Department is commemorat-ing the event by remembering their fallen brothers.

The event begins at noon in front of the Mason County Court-house and all law enforcement in Mason County have been invited to attend in their Class A uni-forms. The sheriff’s department also hopes the public will partici-pate by attending to show their

respect for the families who lost loved ones in the Mason County Jail Explosion in 1976.

Three law enforcement person-nel who died as a result of the jail explosion were Deputy Ken-neth W. “Kenny” Love, Sheriff Elvin E. “Pete” Wedge and Jailer Ernest “Ernie” R. Hesson. As re-ported earlier, the Mason County Sheriff’s Department and local Deputy’s Association have de-cided to upgrade the area where the monument dedicated to these three men rests. This work will all be done with donations and vol-unteer labor and include pouring

a new concrete pad around the monument to make it more of a mini-park complete with a side-walk and bench on the corner of Viand and Sixth Streets.

Eventually this memorial park will also include a lamp post sitting near the monu-ment which will burn a blue light bulb to represent law enforcement personnel. So far, thanks to volunteer labor, excavation work has been done around the monument to smooth out the dirt in prepa-ration for the concrete. At the moment, there’s a need for do-

nations to purchase the bench and shrubs for the mini-park, among other items. Members of the local Deputy Sheriff ’s Association will take over the care of the memorial and park.

National Police Week is May 12 - 18. Back in 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proc-lamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Mason County’s observance will be one of many across the country with tens of thousands of law enforce-ment officers from around the

world converging on Washing-ton, DC that week for a national memorial service.

In addition to the Mason Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department, other local law enforcement agencies which have been invited to the local Peace Officers Memorial Day event include: West Virginia State Police, West Virginia Park Ranger, W.Va. Department of Natural Resources, Point Pleas-ant Police Department, Hender-son Police Department, Mason Police Department, Hartford Police Department, New Haven Police Department.

River museum to welcome ‘Welsh Neighbors’Beth [email protected]

POINT PLEASANT — The Point Pleasant River Museum is teaming up with staff and ac-tors affiliated with the Univer-sity of Rio Grande to present “Welsh Neighbors.”

The production will be per-formed at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 9 at the river museum. Ad-mission is $5.

“Welsh Neighbors” is a reader’s theatre project comprised of sto-ries and songs by area residents Evan Davis, Brooks Jones, Betty Jenkins (and many others) who recall and relate the deeds and the misdeeds of the Welsh-Americans, who immigrated to southeastern Ohio, and made their marks.

The show was first performed in Oak Hill, Ohio in December of 2011, and is scheduled for several performances in the near future. Every community can identify local characters who, by their be-havior, inspire stories that linger for generations, according to the creators. Organizers say those who attend will find themselves joining the party and sharing the laughs. Staff from from the river

museum say this will be an eve-ning of authentic local humor as well as a chorus of young ladies who share Welsh music through the direction of Lisa Jones, ac-tress and songwriter from Aberys-twyth, Wales. This production is sponsored by the Madog Center for Welsh Studies at the Univer-sity of Rio Grande.

Again, the type of produc-tion is in the style of Reader’s Theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines. Rather, they sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. In Reader’s The-atre, actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual sto-rytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking.

The cast is comprised of 14 ac-tors affiliated with the University of Rio Grande Theatre Program. Cast list: Lucia Colley, Rebecca Lipscomb, Mike DePue, Greg Miller. Welsh Girls’ Choir consists of: Lily Chevalier, Sahara Hol-lingshead, Alex Jonas, Sarah Lip-scomb, Miriam Harley, Courtney Polcyn, Emily Polcyn.

Tennant said in addition to performing their original song honoring veterans, New Haven fourth graders have also been writing to soldiers who were in Iraq and Afghanistan, who the students have gotten to know through their letters. Tennant said some of the soldiers have visit the stu-dents when they returned home and have let them know how much they ap-preciate the letters, which also gives the students an appreciation for those in the armed forces.

During the assembly, Tennant also spoke on how their class song came to fruition, saying it began with the fourth grade stu-dents writing poems for Veterans Day. Tennant’s class decided to work on a

poem as a group, bringing all of their ideas about vet-erans together. After the poem had been completed and posted in the school hallways, New Haven mu-sic teacher Kim Bond got involved and the students set their poem to music. Tennant noted the stu-dents have performed the song at various locations around the county, as well as a special performance at the Capitol in Charleston.

A video of the students performing has also been made and was shown dur-ing the assembly. Tennant said the hope with the video was to upload it to YouTube to not only share it around Mason County and the surrounding area, but to hopefully get atten-tion from others. Tennant mentioned “The Today Show,” saying other videos

are broadcast on that show and the hope is their video may be included one day.

In addition to the stu-dents, teachers, Mason County Board of Educa-tion members, and other visitors, attending the as-sembly were VFW State Department Commander James Talerico, State Quarter Master Kevin Light, Post 9926 Com-mander Milford Mowery, Senior Vice Commander Post 9926 Ray Varian, and Post 9926 Quarter Master Robert Caruthers. U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Todd McDade, and New Haven Mayor George Gibbs.

Superintendent Suzanne Dickens closed the assem-bly, noting Tennant’s and the students’ achievements and the work they have ac-complished.

Alan Alda wants scientists to cut out the jargonFrank EltmanThe Associated Press

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Among the procedures Army surgeon Hawk-eye Pierce performed on “M.A.S.H.” was an end-to-end anastomosis.

Most of the viewers, ac-tor Alan Alda concedes, had no idea he was talk-ing about removing a damaged piece of intes-tine and reconnecting the healthy pieces.

Today, the award-win-ning film and television star is on a mission to teach physicians, physi-cists and scientists of all types to ditch the jargon and get their points across in clear, simple language.

The former host of the long-running PBS series “Scientific American Fron-tiers” is a founder and visiting professor of jour-nalism at the Stony Brook University Center for Communicating Science, which has just been named in his honor.

“There’s no reason for the jargon when you’re try-ing to communicate the es-sence of the science to the public because you’re talk-ing what amounts to gib-berish to them,” Alda said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

A better understanding of science, Alda said, can benefit society in ways great and small. Physi-cians can more clearly explain treatments to patients. Consumers can decipher what chemicals may be in their food. And lawmakers can make bet-ter decisions on funding scientific research.

“They’re not going to ask the right questions if science doesn’t explain to them what’s going on in the most honest and objective way,” said Alda, 77. “You can’t blame them for not knowing the jar-gon — it’s not their job. Why would anybody put up money for something

they don’t understand?”Alda, who lives in New

York City and has a home on eastern Long Island, said that as his 12-year tenure as host of “Scien-tific American Frontiers” was ending in 2005, he began seeking out a uni-versity interested in his idea for a center for com-municating science. He described himself as a “Johnny Appleseed” going from university to univer-sity shopping his idea.

Stony Brook, a 24,000-student state uni-versity about 70 miles east of Manhattan, “was the only place that understood what I was trying to say and thought it was pos-sible,” he said.

The center launched in 2009. At a gala last week, the Long Island school of-ficially renamed it the Alan Alda Center for Communi-cating Science.

“Alan did not casually lend his celebrity to this effort,” said Stony Brook President Dr. Samuel Stanley. “He has been a tireless and full partner in the center since its in-ception. During the past four years, he has traveled thousands of miles champi-oning its activities. … He has helped train our fac-ulty and develop our cur-riculum, and he personally teaches some workshops.”

Alda has also helped publicize a contest the center sponsored the past two years asking students and scientists around the country to find simple ways to explain such con-cepts as “What is a flame?” or “What is time?”

Among the courses taught by the center is an improvisational act-ing class that teaches sci-entists ways of commu-nicating their thoughts clearly to others.

“We’ve learned it’s im-portant to set up vivid analogies,” said Lyl Tom-linson, a 24-year-old neu-roscience graduate stu-

dent from Brooklyn who’s working as a teaching assistant, noting he used the effects of caffeine in a morning cup of coffee to begin a discussion on the nervous system.

Rep. Steven Israel, a sup-porter of the Stony Brook program, said educating people on the importance of science is key to Ameri-ca’s competitiveness in the 21st century economy.

He recalled watching a congressional hearing on climate change in which, he said, “a bunch of scien-tists were trying to teach congressmen about the sci-ence of climate change and the congressmen were try-ing to teach the scientists about politics. It was as if both sides were speaking alien languages.”

Alda shared what he called his best examples of clear communication with Tomlinson and his fellow teaching assistants.

About a decade ago, Alda said, he was in Chile filming a segment for “Scientific American Frontiers” when he was stricken with sharp stomach pains. He was evacuated from an 8,000-foot observatory and taken in an old rickety ambulance to a small, dimly lit clinic, where a doctor examined him and said he would re-quire life-saving surgery.

“Some of your intestine has gone bad, and we have to cut out the bad part and sew the two good ends to-gether,” the physician ex-plained.

“And I said, ‘You’re going to do an end-to-end anasta-mosis.’ He said, ‘How do you know that?’ And I said, ‘Oh, I did many of them on ‘M.A.S.H.’ That was the first operation I learned about on M.A.S.H.’”

After the classroom erupted in laughter, Alda concluded:

“He didn’t waste any time on me trying to fig-ure what he was talking about. He said it in the clearest terms possible. He didn’t sacrifice any ac-curacy by making it clear.”

Secrecy shrouds pretrial hearing in WikiLeaks caseDavid DishneauThe Associated Press

FORT MEADE, Md. — Government secrecy reaches a new level this week in the court-martial of Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, an intelligence analyst who sent 700,000 classified U.S. documents to the WikiLeaks website.

A military judge, Col. Denise Lind, has ordered what prosecutors say is an un-precedented closed hearing Wednesday at Fort Meade to help her decide how much of Manning’s upcoming trial should be closed to protect national security.

An unidentified prosecution witness will testify during that closed hearing in a “dry run.” Defense attorneys say that could allow the judge to find ways to avoid closing the courtroom to the public dur-ing the presentation of classified evidence. Lind and attorneys for both sides have suggested there are a number of options to shield sensitive material, including clos-ing parts of the trial; redacting documents; using written summaries as evidence to omit sensitive details; or even using code words for classified information.

The sensitive evidence includes Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables Manning has acknowledged leaking, along with official communications about those classified documents. The government says the leaks in 2009 and 2010 endangered lives and security. Manning’s lawyers contend there was little to no damage.

Lind’s decision to hold the practice run out of public view has drawn mixed reactions from national security and legal experts. Air Force Reserve Lt. Col. David Frakt, who teaches at the University of Pittsburgh law school, called it a “great idea” for minimizing disruptions such as those at U.S. military commissions’ cases involving terrorism detainees at Guanta-namo Bay, Cuba. Frakt defended Guanta-namo detainees Mohammed Jawad and Ali Hamza al Bahlul in 2008 and 2009.

“The judge wants the trial, when it happens, to go smoothly, and the last thing you want is some inadvertent dis-closure,” Frakt said.

“What they don’t want to do is to have a yo-yo effect — let the public in, send the public out, let the press in, send the press out,” he said. “We have had that kind of circus atmosphere at Guantanamo, and it just looks very bad.”

But Jesselyn Radack, national security and human rights director of the Wash-ington-based Government Accountability Project, said there has already been too much secrecy in the Manning case. Until February, more than 2 1/2 years after his arrest, the military refused to publicly re-lease written court filings and rulings in the case. The military’s highest appeals court last month rejected the Center for

Constitutional Rights’ petition seeking timely access to those records, ruling it lacked authority to consider the question.

Radack, who helped defend former Na-tional Security Agency official Thomas Drake against federal charges that in-cluded illegal possession of classified NSA documents, said the “dry run” sounds like a dress rehearsal for a secret trial.

“The more they do behind closed doors and the more they do through secret codes or anything else that shields the public from information, like not providing tran-scripts, those things are all antithetical to the democratic idea of having a free and open trial,” Radack said.

Drake pleaded guilty in 2011 to a mis-demeanor charge of exceeding autho-rized use of a computer. The case against him collapsed after the judge ruled that summaries of four classified documents couldn’t be used in the trial. Prosecutors said the originals would disclose a tele-communications technology targeted by NSA eavesdropping.

The government has shown no willing-ness to reach a plea deal with Manning. He is charged with 22 offenses, including Espionage Act violations and aiding the enemy, which carries a possible life sen-tence. He pleaded guilty in February to reduced charges that could send him to prison for 20 years, but military prosecu-tors said they would still try to convict him of the greater offenses.

Defense attorney David Coombs request-ed the closed hearing to test all reasonable alternatives to closing large portions of Manning’s trial, scheduled for June 3. Lind agreed April 10 to the dry run, despite prosecutor Maj. Ashden Fein’s objection that such a hearing was unprecedented. Fein also argued that lessons learned from a single sample witness wouldn’t necessar-ily apply to 27 others he has lined up.

Fein said at Feb. 26 hearing that more than half of the government’s 141 an-ticipated witnesses would testify about classified information, necessitating clo-sure of up to 30 percent of the trial. On March 15, prosecutors gave the court its list of 28 such witnesses, mostly mili-tary and State Department officials.

They include a member of the team that raided Osama bin Laden’s compound, pre-sumably a Navy SEAL, who collected digital evidence prosecutors say proves the al-Qa-ida leader requested and received from an associate some of the documents that Man-ning leaked and which WikiLeaks published.

Lind took steps to protect that wit-ness’ identity and details of the mission. She ruled in April that the man, iden-tified by the pseudonym, “John Doe,” would testify during the trial in civilian clothing and “light disguise.” Further-more, he will take the stand in a closed session at an alternate, secure location.

She said the trial also would be closed during the entire testimony of three other unidentified “special” prosecution witness-es who will discuss classified information.

Mason County Church CalendarEast about to be overrun by billions of cicadas

WASHINGTON (AP) — Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. The insects will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Con-necticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more.

Scientists even have a horror-movie name for the infestation: Brood II. But as ominous as that sounds, the insects are harmless. They won’t hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. Mostly they will blanket certain pockets of the region, though lots of people won’t ever see them.

“It’s not like these hordes of cicadas suck blood or zombify people,” says May Berenbaum, a University of Illi-nois entomologist.

They’re looking for just one thing: sex. And they’ve been waiting quite a long time.

Since 1996, this group of 1-inch bugs, in wingless nymph form, has been a few feet underground, sucking on tree roots and biding their time. They will emerge only when the ground temperature reaches pre-cisely 64 degrees. After a few weeks up in the trees, they will die and their offspring will go underground, not to return until 2030.

“It’s just an amazing accomplishment,” Berenbaum says. “How can anyone not be impressed?”

And they will make a big racket, too. The noise all the male cicadas make when they sing for sex can drown out your own thoughts, and maybe even rival a rock con-cert. In 2004, Gene Kritsky, an entomolo-gist at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, measured cicadas at 94 deci-bels, saying it was so loud “you don’t hear planes flying overhead.”

There are ordinary cicadas that come out every year around the world, but these are different. They’re called magicicadas — as in magic — and are red-eyed. And these magicicadas are seen only in the eastern half of the United States, nowhere else in the world.

There are 15 U.S. broods that emerge every 13 or 17 years, so that nearly every year, some place is overrun. Last year it was a small area, mostly around the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, West Virgin-ia and Tennessee. Next year, two places get hit: Iowa into Illinois and Missouri; and Louisiana and Mississippi. And it’s possible to live in these locations and ac-tually never see them.

This year’s invasion, Brood II, is one of the bigger ones. Several experts say that they really don’t have a handle on how many cicadas are lurking under-ground but that 30 billion seems like a good estimate. At the Smithsonian Insti-tution, researcher Gary Hevel thinks it may be more like 1 trillion.

Even if it’s merely 30 billion, if they were lined up head to tail, they’d reach the moon and back.

“There will be some places where it’s

wall-to-wall cicadas,” says University of Maryland entomologist Mike Raupp.

Strength in numbers is the key to cica-da survival: There are so many of them that the birds can’t possibly eat them all, and those that are left over are free to multiply, Raupp says.

But why only every 13 or 17 years? Some scientists think they come out in these odd cycles so that predators can’t match the timing and be waiting for them in huge numbers. Another theory is that the unusual cycles ensure that different broods don’t compete with each other much.

And there’s the mystery of just how these bugs know it’s been 17 years and time to come out, not 15 or 16 years.

“These guys have evolved several mathematically clever tricks,” Raupp says. “These guys are geniuses with little tiny brains.”

Past cicada invasions have seen as many as 1.5 million bugs per acre. Of course, most places along the East Coast won’t be so swamped, and some places, especially in cities, may see zero, says Chris Simon of the University of Connecticut. For example, Staten Island gets this brood of cicadas, but the rest of New York City and Long Island don’t, she says. The cicadas also live beneath the metro areas of Philadelphia, Balti-more and Washington.

Scientists and ordinary people with a bug fetish travel to see them. Thomas Jefferson once wrote about an invasion of this very brood at Monticello, his home in Virginia.

While they stay underground, the bugs aren’t asleep. As some of the world’s lon-gest-lived insects, they go through differ-ent growth stages and molt four times be-fore ever getting to the surface. They feed on a tree fluid called xylem. Then they go aboveground, where they molt, leaving behind a crusty brown shell, and grow a half-inch bigger.

The timing of when they first come out depends purely on ground tempera-ture. That means early May for south-ern areas and late May or even June for northern areas.

The males come out first — think of it as getting to the singles bar early, Raupp says. They come out first as nymphs, which are essentially wingless and silent juveniles, climb on to tree branches and molt one last time, becoming adult winged cicadas. They perch on tree branches and sing, individually or in a chorus. Then when a female comes close, the males change their song, they do a dance and mate, he explained.

The males keep mating (“That’s what puts the ‘cad’ in ‘cicada,’” Raupp jokes) and eventually the female lays 600 or so eggs on the tip of a branch. The offspring then dive-bomb out of the trees, bounce off the ground and eventually burrow into the earth, he says.

“It’s a treacherous, precarious life,” Raupp says. “But somehow they make it work.”

New W.Va. law provides for deputies’ body armor

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A fatal West Virginia shootout has prompted a new law, marked by a ceremonial bill sign-ing Monday, that aims to ensure that all deputies have body armor.

Roane County Deputy John West-fall was wounded in August by a sus-pect who had earlier murdered two state troopers. The suspect was killed. Though Westfall was shot several times, the married father of three survived thanks to a bullet-resistant vest — bor-rowed from the city of Spencer, where he has also served as a patrolman.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin held Monday’s ceremony for the resulting measure, which requires all 55 county sheriffs to provide vests to their deputies starting July 1. A number of law enforcement of-ficials, including county sheriffs and top State Police brass, and several legislators joined the governor at his Capitol recep-tion room for the event.

Westfall was at a doctors’ appointment Monday, said Delegate Bob Ashley, a Roane County Republican and the bill’s lead sponsor. Wounded in the hand and shoulder, Westfall continues to require medical care, Ashley said.

There are just over 1,000 sheriff ’s deputies statewide, according to an analysis presented to lawmakers dur-ing their recent session. Only around 50 do not have their own vests, Ashley said. He also noted that the West Vir-ginia Beer Wholesalers Association has pledged money to buy them vests, while the group representing county sheriffs has funding available as well. The new law encourages counties to seek needed funds from federal and other law en-forcement programs as well.

“While they say crime is down in West Virginia, violent crime is up,” Ashley said after Monday’s ceremony. “This has our deputies protected from violent situations.”

Tornadoes split DH against AlexanderBryan [email protected]

RACINE, Ohio — For the first time in program history, the Southern baseball team has produced back-to-back 20-win seasons following a double-header split with visiting Alex-ander Saturday afternoon dur-ing a non-conference matchup at Star Mill Park.

The Tornadoes dropped the opening game of the twin bill by a 9-1 margin, but the hosts se-cured school history following a 3-2 victory in the night cap. With the split, SHS improved to 20-5 this season while the Spartans

moved to 11-11 overall.Southern — which went

27-1 last spring — never led in the opening contest, as AHS stormed out to a 1-0 edge af-ter one inning and led 4-0 af-ter the top half of the fourth. The Tornadoes countered with their only run of the game in the fourth to pull to within 4-1 through four complete.

Alexander responded with four runs in the fifth and added anoth-er score in the sixth to wrap up the eight-run decision. The Spar-tans outhit the hosts 14-4 overall margin and committed one of the four errors in Game 1.

Colten Walters suffered the

setback after allowing four runs, six hits and five walks over four innings of work while striking out two. Smith was the winning pitcher of record after surrender-ing just one run, four hits and three walks over seven frames while fanning one.

Walters, Danny Ramthun, Adam Pape and Tom Ramthun each had a hit for the hosts. Trenton Deem scored on an RBI-single by Walters in the fourth.

Chapman and Gilden paced Alexanders with three hits apiece, followed by Linder and Thompson with two safeties apiece. McGrath also scored three runs for the victors.

The Tornadoes were outhit by a small 6-5 overall margin in the finale, but the hosts never trailed during the second con-test. SHS led 1-0 after an in-ning of play, but Alexander countered with a run in its half of the second for a 1-all game through two complete.

Chandler Drummer delivered an RBI-double in the third that plated Danny Ramthun for a 2-1 lead, then Drummer later scored on a Pape double — giving the hosts a 3-1 edge through three full frames. Alexander added a run in the top of the sixth to cut its deficit down to one, but ultimately never came closer the rest of the way.

Jack Lemley was the winning pitcher of record after allowing two runs, six hits and zero walks over six innings while strik-ing out three. Danny Ramthun struck out one and walked one in an inning of relief for the save.

Walters, Drummer, Pape, Danny Ramthun and Zac Beegle each had a hit for the Tornadoes. Danny Ramthun scored twice and Walters also had an RBI in the triumph.

Linder led AHS with two hits, followedby Mullins, Mc-Grath, Shumate and Gilden with a safety apiece. Linder and Thompson each scored a run and both Gilden and Vick-ers had an RBI apiece.

Lady Raiders split DH at Federal HockingAlex [email protected]

STEWART, Ohio — The Lady Raiders had a weekend full of ups and downs.

The River Valley softball team fell 7-6 in game one of a double header at Federal Hocking. RVHS bounced back to take the second game 6-4.

The Lady Lancers (13-1) marked a run in the bottom of the first but the Lady Raiders (14-9) answered with a run in the top of the second. Riv-er Valley rallied for five runs in the fourth inning.

Lady Marauders sweep Alexander, 2-1Bryan [email protected]

ALBANY, Ohio — Better late than never.

The Meigs softball team rallied with two runs in the top of the sixth inning Thursday night to claim a 2-1 victory over host Alexander in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Athens County.

The Lady Marauders (12-7, 5-3 TVC Ohio) were outhit by the Lady Spartans (10-9, 4-3) by a small 6-5 overall margin, and the guests committed the only two errors of the contest. AHS also claimed its only lead in the bottom of the first after Milum and How-ery each doubled, allowing Milum to score for a 1-0 edge.

The score remained that way un-til the top of the sixth, when MHS managed to plate two runs on three hits for a 2-1 lead. Brook Andrus led off the inning with a single and later scored on a double by Tess

Phelps to knot things up at one, then Phelps came plateward with the winning run when Allyson Da-vis doubled for a 2-1 advantage.

Alexander left the bases loaded in its half of the sixth, then went down in order in the seventh — allowing Meigs to claim a season sweep of the Lady Spartans. The Lady Maraud-ers posted an 8-6 victory at Salisbury Field back on April 15.

Destinee Blackwell was the winning pitcher of record after allowing one run, six hits and five walks over seven innings while striking out five. Meeks took the loss for AHS after surrender-ing two runs, five hits and one walk over seven frames while fanning five.

Phelps led the guests with two hits, followed by Andrus, Davis and Liddy Fish with a safety apiece. Phelps and Davis added an RBI each to the winning cause.

Milum, Howery, Meeks, Scott, Daugherty and Sams each had a hit in the setback, with Howery provid-ing the Lady Spartans’ lone RBI.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 7, 2013:

This year you have many oppor-tunities to increase your financial stability. You will see more money come in, but you also could see more money go out. Don’t spend money before you have it. If you are single, you have a lot to offer. Any time from summer on, you could meet a fun person who is easy to relate to. If you are attached, schedule a sum-mer vacation for just the two of you. ARIES reads you cold.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Optimism beams through

your day, but you might wonder where to start. Just dive right in, and you are likely to accomplish a lot. Your ability to home in on a problem and make an adjustment is a promi-nent feature of your present success. Tonight: As you wish.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)HHH Deferring to others is dif-

ficult and somewhat frustrating for you. Give up on the impossible, and recognize that your energy is better placed elsewhere. Stand back and observe; listen to what is not being said. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible. You will need it soon!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)HHHH You know your priorities.

Move quickly in order to secure a long-term desire. Your ability to read between the lines proves to be very important. Use care in how you reveal a strategic insight. Take your time and choose the right words. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)HHHH You might want to con-

sider taking a different path. You know what you want, but your current approach is not working. A meeting reveals support, but also a level of frustration. Use your intuitive abilities to move through a problem. Tonight: Where people are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)HHHH You see the value of get-

ting others’ insight and support in order to help you achieve your long-term goals. Detach and brainstorm more often with people who have controversial views. You will open up many new paths as a result. Tonight: Where the music is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)HHHH You might want to rethink a

personal matter involving your financ-es and/or a partnership. You could feel as if many opportunities are pos-sible, and you might be right. In fact, a pay raise or promotion could be in the offing. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk with a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)HHHH Reach out to someone at a

distance whom you care a lot about. The response is likely to be positive. Stay focused on what is happening around you. A few difficult comments are likely to be shared in a discussion with a partner. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s idea.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)HHHH You might want to reach

out to someone who is very different from you. This person is confident in his or her self-expression, which is nearly the opposite of how you are. If you can learn to respect a different style, you will grow from your interac-tions. Tonight: On a roll.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)HHHH Everyone likes to be popu-

lar, but it could get to be too much for you to handle. Know when to say “enough.” You will be happier, as will they. Live in the moment. You tend to move quickly, so be careful not to make a last-minute mistake. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)HHHH You might be focused on a

personal matter right now, but remem-ber that you need to handle other issues as well. Recognize your limits and prioritize. Your demands are only going to become heavier in the next few days. Tonight: Try a quiet night at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)HHHHH Your words bring positive

responses, especially from a child or a fun person in your life. You could get bogged down by a domestic situ-ation. Open up to change and more diversity. You might seem to feel as if a close loved one can make a differ-ence. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)HHHH You could want to head in

a new direction, despite what is hap-pening around you. You know what is workable. Share your plan with someone. Though the receiver of this information initially might be upset, he or she will appreciate it later. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Derby winner prepares for Preakness run

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Now that Shug Mc-Gaughey has won the Ken-tucky Derby, it’s time for the 62-year-old trainer to go after another race missing from his Hall of Fame resume.

Orb will follow up his win at Churchill Downs by running in the Preakness on May 18, giving the colt a shot at the Triple Crown.

Orb arrived back at his home base in New York on Sunday, as did McGaughey and jockey Joel Rosario. The trainer was still absorb-ing what happened a day earlier. The colt extended his winning streak to five races, splashing through the slop to win the Derby by 2¼ lengths, giving McGaughey and Rosario their first Derby wins. Orb rallied from 17th and made a sweeping move on the turn for home to win.

“It did not matter if it was wet or dry, the best horse won,” rival trainer D. Wayne Lukas said
