PROVIDENCE, R.I.(AP) Federal budget cutshave caused delays in atleast one terror-relatedcourt case in New Yorkand prompted a federaljudge in Nebraska to sayhe is “seriously contem-plating” dismissing somecriminal cases.The automatic cuts are

also causing concernsabout funding for the de-

fense of the BostonMarathon bombing sus-pect, who is being repre-sented by a publicdefender’s office that’s fac-ing three weeks of unpaidfurloughs and whose de-fense costs could run intomillions of dollars.Federal defenders’ of-

fices have been hit espe-cially hard by the cuts,which amount to about 10percent of their budgetsfor the fiscal year thatends Sept. 30. Some officeshave laid off staffers. The

head public defender inSouthern Ohio even laidhimself off as a way tosave money.Much of the reductions

are due to automatic cutsknown as the sequester,and public defenders warnthey could face even morecuts next year.Members of the Federal

Bar Association, includingfederal lawyers andjudges, were on CapitolHill on Thursday, meetingwith members of theHouse and Senate and

their staffers and appeal-ing to them for adequatefunding, said GeoffCheshire, an assistant fed-eral public defender fromArizona, who was amongthem.“The federal defenders

are the front bumper ofthis fiscal crunch, gettinghit first and hardest. Butbehind it is the thirdbranch of government as awhole. The message is,this is having real effectson the federal courts andthe rule of law,” Cheshire

said.He and others are push-

ing for Congress to makean emergency appropria-tion for the judiciary thatwould mitigate some ofthe cuts to defenders andthe court system.Cheshire said $61 millionwould be enough to elimi-nate the furloughs.In New York, furloughs

have caused delays in thecase of Osama binLaden’s son-in-law,

PIQUA — The EdisonCommunity Collegeboard of trustees on Mon-day approved a resolutionthat will increase tuitionfees by 2.49 percent inthe 2013-14 school year.The increase of $3.33

per credit hour is in in-structional fees, one ofthree types of fees thatmake up tuition. Alongwith a general fee of$15.30 per credit hourand a technology fee of $5per credit hour, the in-structional fee increasewill raise total tuitionfrom the current cost of$133.96 per credit hour to$137.29 per credit hour.Compared to other

nearby two-year colleges,Edison is a bit more ex-pensive than SinclairCommunity College inDayton, which charges$95.70 per credit hour,but in a similar range asClark State CommunityCollege in Springfield,which will charge $132.75per credit hour for the up-coming summer session.This is the second tu-

ition increase in as manyyears for Edison. Tuitionwent up 5.23 percentfrom 2011-12 to this aca-demic year.Though Edison’s en-

rollment for spring se-mester was down 12percent, Dean of Enroll-ment Services Scott Bur-nam said he didn’t expectthe slight increase in tu-ition to cause a furtherdecline.“Whether looked at lo-

cally or regionally, Edisonis a very efficiently pricededucational experience,given the market and thearea we serve,” Burnamsaid.

A public de-fender told U.S. DistrictJudge Lewis Kaplan thismonth that furloughs inhis office were making itimpossible to prepare fortrial quickly, promptingthe judge to say he foundit “extremely trouble-some” and “stunning”that sequestration wasinterfering with thecase.But it’s not just the

public defenders who arebeing affected. Federalcourthouses around thecountry are starting toclose their doors to thepublic as ways to dealwith the sequester.In the U.S. District

Court of the NorthernDistrict of California,courtrooms and courtclerks’ offices will beshuttered in San Fran-cisco, San Jose and Eu-reka on the first Fridayof each month and inOakland on the firstMonday of the monththrough the end of Sep-

tember. On those days,no clerks or support staffwill be available to runthe courtrooms so no tri-als will move forward.“There will be no pro-

ceedings in any of thecourtrooms in those fa-cilities on those days Idescribed,” said RichardW. Wieking, clerk ofcourt for the NorthernDistrict.Other courthouses

also are reducing serv-ices.In U.S. District Court in

Delaware, only emergencycriminal procedures willbe heard on Fridays as away to help federal prose-cutors, federal defendersand U.S. marshals man-age their jobs with thefurloughs, Clerk of CourtJohn Cerino said. Thecourthouses will be open,but the courts won’t behearing “anything that’snot an emergency,” hesaid.The Department of Jus-

tice told employees onWednesday that despitebudget cuts it would notfurlough anyone, includ-ing FBI agents and prose-cutors.

challenge at the state fi-nals was one they havebeen working on sinceJanuary involving “build-ing cars using differentways to get cars to move,”Rohrbach said.Some of the examples

included a balloon car, arubber band car, a mouse-trap car and other inven-tive ideas.The group even per-

TROY — It’s a Disneydream come true for TroyChristian High Schoolsenior Hannah Godfrey todon the iconic goldendress as she stars as Bellein the school’s spring pro-duction of “Beauty and theBeast.”“It was one of my fa-

vorite movies growing up,”Godfrey said after dressrehearsals this week. God-frey said she hadn’t beenin a largeproductionsince eighthgrade, butdecided totake achance atthe starringrole as Belleas a senioryear mile-stone.M o r e

than 120people areinvolved inthe musicalp r e sen ta -tion of“ B e a u t yand theBeast” andp e r f o r m -ances willbe heldtoday andSaturday at7:30 p.m. “Iwanted to try out for theplay because it’s my senioryear, so I wanted to give ita try,” she said. “When Isaw that I got Belle, it wasreally exciting.”Godfrey said she enjoys

singing as part of her

church’s praise band andwelcomes any and all op-portunities to share hermusical talent.“I just wanted to ex-

plore the songs in thisplay and they are reallyquite beautiful to sing,”she said.Accompanying Godfrey

on stage will be DrewSpoon, 18, who plays therole of the “Beast.”“I love singing — just

straight up — I love it,”Spoon said. Spoon said hisfavorite song from the

show is “IfI Can’tLove Her,”but it alsois his mostchal leng-ing scene.“I love

the wholep r o c e s sand mak-ing goodfriends,” hesaid.Director

P a i g eN i c h o l ssaid she’se n j o y e dwatch ingher stu-dents worktogether ina new, funand chal-lenging en-vironmentthat onlythe stage

can offer.“The Lord has put so

much talent in theseyoung people,” she said.“These plays give the kidsan outlet that they didn’tknow they had. They canexplore their talents in

ways they can’t in theclassroom.”Nichols said the hours

of rehearsals and readingsbuilds teamwork and afamily-like atmosphere.“This is a family,” she

said. “This always bringskids together who maynot have known eachother very well in anyother setting.”Senior Courtney Price

said she’s performed inplays since seventh gradeand was happy to pourher heart out as Mrs.Potts.“I love to sing —

singing is one of my pas-sions in life,” she said.“It’s been fun being aninanimate object and itwas a challenge to workon a British accent.”For Senior Jonny Gak-

waya, the role of LeFou isand easy one since it’sclose to his personality.“I finally got to be a

character I am — funnyand dopey — in real life,”Gakwaya said.Senior Sarah Grady

said her role was quite thestretch for her personal-ity.“I’m one of the feather

dusters, which is nothinglike me,” Grady said. “I’mkind of awkward and shyand the feather dustersare not that way at all.They are really flirty.”For senior Rachael Ru-

land, playing the role of“Silly Girl” in her secondschool play also is a trans-formation.“It’s nothing like me at

all — completely oppositeof me really,” Ruland said.“It was hard at first but Ijust like being with every-

one.”Senior Josh Williams

went from a backstagehand to a “Knight” inshining armor.“It’s my first year on

stage — I kind of like it,”Williams said. “This year,I really came out of myshell and I figured I’d goout with a bang.”For senior Emily

Kindell, being part of thecast as a statue and vil-lager was a great way toconnect with her class-mates.

Iam honored to submitthis letter on behalf ofthe Piqua Arts Council

Board of Trustees to expressour gratitude for thetremendous support of the2013 Dancing with thePiqua Stars event. The onlything even close to matchingthe phenomenal perform-ances of the dance stars thatevening was the incredibledisplay of community support and gen-erosity for the event!

The Dancing with the Piqua Starsevent is the major fundraiser event of theyear for the Piqua Arts Council. Top votegetter and winner of the 2013 DWTPSevent Randy Sever led the field of dancestars this year raising nearly $5,000 forthe PiquaArts Council.The combined ef-forts of the dance stars resulted in a votetotal that generated nearly $23,000 incommunity support. These dollars, whencombined with other funding sources, arewhat allow the Piqua Arts Council topromote and support, and continue togrow, the offering of art programs, work-shops, and community events that con-tribute positively to the culturalexperiences and quality of life found inthe Piqua community .

Many volunteers and supporters of theDancing with the Piqua Stars event areto be commended for their efforts. In par-ticular, the dance stars and their profes-sional dance partners are deserving ofrecognition for their months of prepara-tion and hard work in support of thePiqua Arts Council. To our dance stars,Amy Booher, Cheryl Burkhardt, Mar-garet French, Sue Peltier, Bob Jordan,Tony Lyons, Frank Partizio, and Randy

Sever, and to their profes-sional dance partners Kris-tene Clark, Vicki Davis,Amy Garrett, MariaHogston, Scott Clark, JimDavis, Bill Hogston, andDavid Siefring, thank you toeach and every one of youfor your time, energy, andcommitment to this cause.The display of talent andpoise each of you exhibited

the evening of the performance was ex-ceptional! And, to Rick and Judy Bower-man, owners of RJ Ballroom, if not fortheir extraordinary skills in providingdance instruction and their expertise inchoreography, this event would not bepossible. Rick and Judy, we thank you foryour time and dedication to the DWTPSevent, and for enriching all of our livesthrough the fine art of dance. To ourjudges, master of ceremony, DJ, alumnidance stars, photographers, video crew,lighting crew, bartenders, caterer,servers, ticket takers, vote registrars, fa-cility support staff, event committee, andeveryone else who contributed to the suc-cess of this event, thank you for your con-tributions!

And to all of you, the citizens and busi-nesses of Piqua and the surroundingarea, please know that your support ofthe Piqua Arts Council is neither as-sumed nor taken for granted. We sin-cerely appreciate all that you provide tosupport the work of the PiquaArts Coun-cil. Thank you!

Whew!We’vemade it throughanentiremonthof rec-onciliation.Now it’s time to break out thehair-col-oring kit (Or two) for those extra dozen gray hairs

I’ve acquired. Oh, and just so you know, I chose this monthformore than ananniversary but a lot of irony asApril wasalways the zombie family’s notoriously bad luck month(More irony on page 5).

Compared to the recent devastation inBoston andTexasmy former bad luck is very pathetic. However, to put mystory into perspective,whenApril rolled around for tenplusyears,mystomachwould twist intoknotsandthecheckbookwouldbe reconciled over andover againbecause, inevitably,somethingwouldbreak.A lotof something.Asystematic fail-ure of a host of things such as a car breaking down at thesame time someone had to goto the emergency room and amysterious puddle would ap-pear in the basement.One notleft by the dog either.

The thing is, while all sortsof things would indeed breakor go wrong every April, righton schedule, it wasn’t life-al-tering or devastating. We al-ways had enough coming inthis very month to fix it. Weneverwere ahead, but wewere never so far behind as to bein trouble.I oftenreferred to this oddset of circumstancesasour being the Even-Stevens, but I could never appreciate ituntil itwas too late.As aday camewhen everything didnotsomuch as break butwas ripped out from beneath our feetand all of our own doing.

Yet for everything lost therewas one definitive, constant,and eventual saving grace, or two. The key element toMichael and I reconciling,ourmunchkins.Foras I set aboutlickingmywounds,doingwhatever itwould take to look likethe good guy, the wounded party as per court terminology,and buildmyself up on the backs of others following the di-vorce, my girls were doing the right thing the entire time. Ijust keptmissing it.

Much as I ignored the subtle signs the Universe wasthrowing at me regarding reconciliation for a solid year, Ialsomissedhowkidsdon’tholdgrudges likeadultsdo.Evenwhenyou’ve done somethingno one elsewill forgive you for,a child will loop an arm around your shoulder and say let’sbe friends or I love you! They have this amazing resiliencyand ability to look beyond the surface, something we losealong theway tobecominganadult becauseweare terrifiedof, and absolutely despise being, vulnerable.

Divorcestrikesat theveryheartof ourvulnerabilities.Wehideall ourgrief, fear,andhumiliation fromdivorceviawallsof harsh words, cold shoulders, and unending bitterness.Which is what makes reconciliation so hard, if next to im-possible, as it takes being vulnerable.

It’s interesting, in retrospect, as stated in my first recon-ciliation column, I would watch with so many conflictingemotions as the girls,weighted downwith packed bags,pil-lows,andtoys for theevery-otherweekendvisitations,wouldruntogreet their father.Theywerealwayssoexcited,could-n’t wait to see him. It was a truly beautiful thing to watcheven as a part ofmewas so angry, ready for a fight, andmytongue next door at the neighbor’s house.

Iwouldnote,andquicklydismiss,Michael’s seeminglyal-ways on the verge of wanting to say something (Obviouslyimperativeand important;deep) expressioneveryotherFri-day coupled with that easy-going, disheartened manner. Idismissed the subtleties as quickly as I did the munchkins’fearless, boundless, unconditional love for him.

Course,mydismissalwas thataforementionedprotectiveshield fromthe conflicting emotions. The lackof dramawasbecause I still loved him very, very much and missed himterribly, given he was — and still is — the best friend I’veever had, while also driven by so many unfortunate expec-tations regarding divorce. I was determined to not be orshow any vulnerability; I wasn’t going to be weak. Oh no,wasn’t about to let any wall go unguarded as there was anunspoken demand both by myself and others that Michaelwas the enemy and had to be treated as such.

AsI statedprevious, all thepreparation fora fightwas fornothing, my balloon popped. And what distresses me themost,to thisday (Ihaveahard time forgivingmyself forandwill be another story for another day) is that I knew better.So I can’t help but wonder if there would have been lessdamage,pain,and loss inmywake if I hadn’t been afraid ofthat one word ... vulnerability. If I had simply dared to putdownmypitchforks and torches long enough to at least askMichaelwhatwasgoingonbehind thoseemotion-filledeyessooner? But I’m already out of room here. It’s time to putthe finishing touchesonthisabbreviatedreconciliationstorywith,what else, a quote! (I’m a sucker for a good quote) It isfrom Brené Brown research professor, author, speaker andmore,whogaveaphenomenalTEDtalkon thepowerof vul-nerability (Search for her onYouTube).

Brownsays,“Owningourstorycanbehardbutnotnearlyasdifficultas spendingour lives running fromit.Embracingour vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous asgiving up on love and belonging and joy —the experiencesthatmakeus themost vulnerable.Onlywhenweare braveenough to explore the darknesswill we discover the infinitepower of our light.”

If our community expectsour children to do their bestand to be the best, we mustprovide the best educationpossible. This includes pro-viding a facility conducive tothe current needs of today’sworld.

Noonewants to paymoretaxes, but we must providefor our childrenbecause theyareworth it!Westrongly en-courage all voters to voteYES on the May 7 levy andsupport our school district.

school board) listened.The proposal that you

asked us to place on theballot will provide an an-nual savings to ourschools of over $200,000per year and enhance theimage and vitality of ourlearning and living envi-ronment. For most of us,the value of our homeproperty will increase sub-stantially more than thesmall increase in taxesyou will pay.

However, Frona and Iview this issue as an op-portunity to get back

many of the tax dollars wehave been giving to othercities and towns to buildtheir schools.A yes vote onMay 7, will allow us to re-coup $10,500,000 for Cov-ington.

Covington

Dear Editor:I am writing on behalf

of the Covington SchoolLevy on May 7. Many peo-ple will discuss the finan-cial pros and cons of thelevy, but I would like toapproach it from morethan just the financial as-pects.

Almost 40 years ago,myhusband relocated hisbusiness to Miami County.As he readied to move thisyoung family to the areahe asked advice from hiscustomers on where wouldbe the best place to liveand raise his family. Over

and over again he heardthe name of Covington;good schools and a caring,supportive community.

So we bought propertyin Covington and havemade it our home. Every-thing that people said wastrue. Our sons have goneto Covington schools andboth received an excellenteducation that has en-abled them to go on andearn advanced degrees intheir chosen fields. I amproud to say that the com-munity, as a whole, hasalso supported and en-couraged them as they

travel through life. Every-thing people told us aboutCovington was and is true.

My husband and I aresupporting the CovingtonSchool levy because, eventhough our children nolonger live here, we wantto protect the legacy of anoutstanding school systemand caring communitythat has meant so much tous. In this way, future gen-erations will have thesame opportunities wehave had.

DEAR ABBY: “Jake”andI have been married morethan 20 years. I married be-fore I was 18, and I’m noteven 40 yet. Jake is sevenyearsmysenior.Wehavehadour ups and downs, and al-though the last five yearshave been fine, I want moreout of life than sitting homewatching TV or hanging outwith him.Wehavetwochildren.One

is away at college and theother starting high school.When I talk to my husbandabout wanting to do things,he says I should have donethem when I was younger.But I married him before Iwas even an adult!Is it wrong to want to go

out and do things I never gotto dowhen Iwasa teenager?It makes me questionwhether or not I want to bemarried to him anymore. Istill love him, but I havechanged. Jake insists wedon’t need counseling and Ijust need to get over it andaccept that this is my life.What if Idon’twant to regretwhat I have never had achance to do?

— WANTS MORE OUTWEST

DEAR WANTS MORE:I’m sorry,but you can’t reliveyour lost teenage years. Iwishyouhadbeenmore spe-cific about what it is youwant to do. If it’s go out andhavesomefun,perhapssomeof your girlfriendswould liketo gowith you. Instead of sit-ting home, you and Jakecould socialize with othercouples. If you’re into sports,why not join a women’ssports team? If you’re not,how about a book club? Youdon’t have to sit around andvegetate. You also didn’tmention whether you com-pletedhighschool.If youdid-n’t receive a diploma, youwouldbewell-served toworkon earning yourGED,whichcould widen your horizonsand opportunities consider-ably.

DEAR ABBY: I have twodaughters, 11 and 14. Theyfight over many things, butwhat gets to me is the waythey fight over what televi-sion shows towatch.My younger daughter has

nightmares if she watcheseven mildly dramaticcop/lawyer-typeshows.How-ever,myolderdaughter lovesthem. At home, I’d have onekid watch TV in one roomand the other in the otherroom.However,whenthey’reat the sitter’s house, whichhas only oneTV,they callmeat work and fight over thephone over who watcheswhat.Theybothaccusemeof

favoring the other. How do Ideal with this fairly withoutupsetting them?AndhowdoI keepmy younger daughterfromhaving nightmares?

— DOING MY BESTIN KENTUCKY

DEAR DOING: Becauseyour younger daughter hasnightmares after viewingshows that create anxiety,she shouldn’t be forced to doit.When theyareat their sit-ter’s, they should alternatedays when each has controlof the remote control.Whenyour older girl has it, theyounger one should be en-couraged to read a book ofher choosing and/or listen tomusic. When the youngerone gets to do the choosing,the older one should do thesame.

DEAR ABBY:Christmasand birthday gifts I willnever use have accumulatedaround my house. I’d like tohaveayardsale,butmanyofthe items came from closefriends and family. I feelguilty getting rid of thembe-cause the people who gavethem tome obviouslymeantwell.Would selling them bewrong?One gift was from my

mother. I live at home,so shewill notice if I stick it in thegarage sale. I can’t let thisextra stuff sit around. It’staking up space and I needthe money for a very expen-sive college.But I’m afraid ofpeople findingout that Idon’twant their presents. Whatshould I do?

— DOWNSIZING INNEW YORK

DEAR DOWNSIZING:Selling the items would notbewrong.Onceagift isgiven,it is yours to do with as youplease. If you offer them forsale online, it will be less ob-vious and cause fewer hurtfeelings.

Partner opens the biddingwith One Diamond. Whatwould you respond witheach of the following fourhands?

1. Two clubs. It is better tobid two clubs than one heart.A one-heart bid followed bytwo (or three) clubs wouldgive partner the wrong pic-ture of the length of yoursuits. But if you respond twoclubs and then bid hearts atyour next turn, partner willrealize that you have moreclubs than hearts and that inall likelihood you have onlyfour hearts. Had the suitsbeen of equal length, youwould, of course, bid the

higher-ranking one, hearts,first. 2. One spade. Here, for the

reason just stated, spadesare bid first. The fact thatyour clubs are of better qual-ity is not a good reason fornaming them first. The aimis to land in the longesttrump suit, not necessarilythe strongest, and also towind up in a major ratherthan a minor, if possible.Spades are playable as

trumps if partner has threeof them. If you were to bidclubs first, and spades sec-ondarily, partner would nat-urally assume that you hadonly four spades and wouldnot raise them with three-card support. You could thus

miss the best contract.3. One heart. Two clubs

would be the wrong responsein this case because goinginto the two-level in a newsuit promises at least 10points, which you don’t have,while bidding one heart indi-cates only six or more points.In such situations, it’s betterto violate the rule of biddingthe longer suit first than tomisrepresent your high-cardstrength. 4. One heart. Here you go

back to naming the five-cardsuit before the four-carder.Again the length of the suittakes precedence over thestrength, even though thespades contain seven high-card points and the hearts

only one.In a nutshell, what it

amounts to is this: Withstrong hands, you follow theprinciple of bidding thelonger suit first, the purposebeing to describe your distri-bution as accurately as pos-sible in order to give yourside the maximum chance ofwinding up in the best gameor slam. With weak hands,where your initial plan maybe to make only one bid andquit, you exercise extremecare in choosing the suit toname, the principal concernbeing to avoid bidding weakhands strongly.

Tomorrow: Far from hope-less.

Zombie stories never have happyendings. So when the heroes of 2011’s“Dead Island” made it out alive, youknew there had to be a catch.The catch is that any video game

that isn’t a complete flop gets a follow-up these days. And as “Dead Island Rip-tide” (Deep Silver, for the Xbox 360,PlayStation 3, $49.99; PC, $39.99) be-gins, the zombie virus has infected theship that rescued the survivors — andthey soon wash up on another undead-infested tropical paradise, calledPalanai.So it’s time for the old gang — Rap-

per Sam B, hotel clerk Xian, ex-copPurna and jock Logan, along with anewbie, a Navy cook named John — tosharpen their machetes and get back towork. You can play as any one of thequintet, and you can team up withfriends online to try to even the oddsagainst the ravenous hordes.The core zombies, called Walkers, are

easy to kill mano-a-mano but can takeyou down quickly if they gang up onyou. Other creatures can strike from adistance, throwing explosives or vomit-

ing acid. The Suiciders, who explode ifyou get too close, are the deadliest untilyou scrounge up some firearms. Themost troublesome new “Riptide” mon-ster is the Screamer, whose wails ren-der you briefly confused and powerless.Your weapons start off simple — say,

a baseball bat or a kitchen knife — butas you explore Palanai, you’ll discovermore effective tools of destruction, frommachetes to machine guns. “Riptide”also carries over the original game’sclever weapon-crafting system, so youcan create increasingly baroque deviceslike an electrified samurai sword.This is not a moody character drama

like Telltale’s “The Walking Dead,” thelandmark episodic game that won somany industry awards last year. In-deed, it’s closer in spirit to the awful“Walking Dead” game Activision pub-lished this year — it’s all about the thrillof lopping undead heads clean off. Theunapologetic gore and squishy sound ef-fects are amusing for a while, but startto get old after about five or six hours.That’s when you realize “Riptide” is

essentially the same game as its two-year-old parent. There are a few newadditions, like motorboats you can ma-neuver around Palanai’s swamps, but

almost every mission is the same: getfrom point A to point B without gettingeaten. A handful of sieges, in which allthe characters defend a base from un-dead swarms, break up the monotony,but too often I found myself asking,“This again?”Deep Silver is justifying the repeti-

tion by pitching “Riptide” as an expan-sion of the “Dead Island” world ratherthan a true sequel; perhaps its creator,the Polish studio Techland, has somegenuine innovations up its sleeve for“Dead Island 2.” But that doesn’t excusethe fact that “Riptide” is beset by thesame glitches that marred the original,including graphical hiccups, goofy arti-ficial intelligence, inconsistent mapsand disappearing inventory items.Despite such sloppiness — as well as

plotting that’s ridiculous even by zom-bie-story standards — “Riptide” isamusing in spurts, especially if you cangather an online posse to deal with thehungry hordes. Still, I wish Techlandhad spent some time addressing the se-ries’ problems rather than just shovel-ing out more of the same. Two stars outof four.

Review: Bette Midler gets to make fun of Hollywood BY MARK KENNEDYAP Drama Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Ap-pearing on Broadway forthe first time in 30 years,Bette Midler doesn’t standup to greet her audience.She chooses to remain re-clined.“I’m not getting up,” she

says by way of warning.“It’s my house, you get up.Only don’t. I just had thecarpet cleaned.”You mustn’t take any of-

fense. Midler is playing thewondrously snooty supertalent agent Sue Mengersin a one-woman show thatopened Wednesday at theBooth Theatre.Even if you have no idea

who Mengers is, anevening with Midler is al-ways special and her ap-parent joy in playing this

role makes it even more so.In “I’ll Eat You Last: AChat With Sue Mengers,”Midler swears a bluestreak, makes vicious funof Hollywood and neverhas to stand up.Set in 1981 and written

by John Logan, the work isa straightforward biogra-phy of the rise of a chubbyJewish girl with a heavyGerman accent who grewup in New York and turnedherself into a mover andshaker in Hollywood.Her clients included

Candice Bergen, MikeNichols, Michael Caine,George Segal, Dyan Can-non, Bob Fosse, SidneyLumet, Burt Reynolds, Cy-bill Shepherd, RyanO’Neal, Rod Steiger, PeterBogdanovich and GoreVidal, among others. (Shelikes to call all A-listers

“Twinklies.”)As she freely admits,

Mengers, who died in 2011,landed clients by threats,deception, cajoling, prom-ises, guilt and doggedness— anything, really.“We’re all headhunters

in my business. Everystar’s a potential client andif I don’t steal them, some-one else will,” she says. “Iwas persuasive, I wasfunny. Most of all, I was fe-rocious. To me ‘no’ alwaysmeant ‘maybe.’”Over 85 minutes, Midler

— rarely letting a mani-cured foot hit her carpet —lies on her elegant couch —speaks to the audience,gossiping furiously as shewaits for a call from Bar-bra Streisand.Joe Mantello directs

with something of a chal-lenge: A seasoned pro in

Midler and yet a characterwho doesn’t really move offthe couch. So he expertlypaces the whole thing likean audience with a blousy,foul-mouthed queen.Midler wears oversized,

tinted glasses and con-stantly scrapes at her silkystraight bob, colored aheavenly hue only the richcan get away with. She’swearing an aqua caftanwith sparkly embellish-ments and alternatessmoking a cigarette and ajoint, sometimes havingboth lit at the same time.This warning appears

on the curtain as the audi-ence files in: “This playcontains profanity, smok-ing, alcohol consumption,drug use, and gossip.”Here’s another warning:Know who Michael Ovitzis.

EDSOURCE, INC.

Over-diagnosing ADHDandover-prescribingmedica-tion to children has been thecauseof considerable concernin education and other cir-cles. But some researchersinterviewed by EdSourceTodaysay that thestate’s rel-atively low rates may indi-cate that the condition isbeing under-diagnosedamong some demographicgroups. They suggest thatsome students aren’t gettingthe treatment they need tosucceed in school.

California ranks fifth low-est in the nation – tied withAlaska– in thepercentageofchildren diagnosed withADHD, according to newlyreleased data from the 2011-12 National Survey of Chil-dren’s Health. (Click here tosee amap ofADHD rates bystate.) In part, California’sranking reflects low rates ofdiagnosis among Latinos,who make up 38 percent ofthe state’s population, andeven lower rates of diagnosisamong Californians ofAsiandescent, who make up 14percent of the state’s popula-tion.

It’s not the state’s overallrate of childhoodADHDthatraises questions, with 5.2percent of California chil-dren, or 1 in20,receiving thediagnosis. Rather it is thewide variation in diagnosticrates among different racialand ethnic groups.

Kaiser Permanente re-searchers found that therates of childhood ADHD inCalifornia were 5.6 percentforwhitesand4.1percent forblacks, but only 2.5 percentamong Latino children, and1.9 percent among childrenofAsian descent.

The very low rates forLatino and Asian Americanchildren stand out as anom-alous, said Joshua Israel, as-sociate clinical professor ofpsychiatry at UC San Fran-

cisco. “In just about everycountry thathasbeen lookedat, includingChina,the rateshavebeenabout thesameforchildren – between 3 and 9percent, with the averagecloser to5,”hesaid.“It’s likelythat the true rates forAsiansinCaliforniawouldnotbe1.9percent.”

“We know that there arerelatively dramatic differ-ences between ethnic groupsin rates of diagnosis,” saidRuthHughes,chief executiveofficerof theMaryland-basedadvocacy group Childrenand Adults with AttentionDeficit Hyperactivity Disor-der.“Partof it is cultural,partof it is economic, and all of ithas todowith the school sys-temandthemedical system.”

Under-diagnosing ADHDhas serious consequences,said Sandra Loo, an ADHDresearcherandassistantpro-fessor of psychiatry at theDavidGeffen School ofMed-icine atUCLA.

“There is a common per-ception thatADHD is not assevere as other disorders,when in fact the long-termoutcomes of people with un-treated ADHD are reallyhorrible,” she said, includinghigh rates of dropping out ofschool.

In fact,nearly one-third ofchildren with ADHD dropoutordelayhighschoolgrad-uation, according to researchconducted at the UC DavisSchool ofMedicine.

TheAmericanPsychiatricAssociation’s Diagnostic andStatistical Manual-IV de-scribes the condition as a“persistent pattern of inat-tentionand/orhyperactivity-impulsivity.”

A child must show clearevidence of “clinically signifi-cant impairment”in theabil-ity to function in two majorsettings – school and home –for at least six months, ac-cording to ADHD diagnosticguidelines by the AmericanAcademyofPediatrics.Inad-

dition, thechildmusthaveatleast six symptoms of inat-tentionorhyperactivity toanextent that is“disruptiveandinappropriate” for the child’sdevelopmental level. Evi-dence of impairment shouldbedocumented inwrittenre-ports from teachers and par-ents, and may include anobservation of the child by amental health professional.

Epidemiological studies ofbrain disorders find thatprevalence is fairly constantacross geographic regions,which means that rates ofchildhood ADHD should beroughly the same across thenation. But they’re not. InKentucky, which has thehighest prevalence, the rateis13.1percent,whileNevadahas the lowest rate of child-hood ADHD, with nearly 4percent of children diag-nosed. The national averageis 8 percent, according to thesurvey. Diagnosis rates alsovary broadly by region, withthe South reporting higherrates and theWest reportinglower rates.

Howtoaccount for thedif-ferences? It’sall about thebe-liefs andpractices of parents,teachers and doctors, re-searchers say.

“Regional differences gen-erally have to do with howparents interactwith the ed-ucation system and healthproviders,aswell aswith theprevailing attitudes of localhealth providers,” saidSamuel Zuvekas, a senioreconomist at the Agency forHealthcare Research andQuality in the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and HumanServices. “It’s a complicateddynamic.”

Toavoid over- orunder-di-agnosis of ADHD, the evalu-ation process is supposed tobe thorough.Yetateverystepof theway the process can goawry, subject to pressuresfrom schools, doctors andfamilies.

Schools are on the front

lines of identifying childrenwhomayhaveADHD,work-ing with their families anddoctors and creating educa-tional plans or accommoda-tions if necessary. It’s a taskthat school systems don’tuniformly embrace, saidHughes of Children andAdultswithAttentionDeficitHyperactivity Disorder.Some teachers and adminis-trators may find the processoverwhelmingormaybalkatthe idea of suggesting that achild’s behavior is atypical,while othersmay be quick tospot a potential case ofADHD.

“There canbe subtle,pow-erful messages in schoolsaboutwhether kids get iden-tified,” Hughes said. “Thesame kid who was neveridentified as having ADHDin one school system canmove to another school sys-tem and be identified.”

Families, too, vary in theirwillingness to consider thattheir child might have abraindisorder,andtheirwill-ingness todiscuss thematterwith teachers and doctors.

Another obstacle is thatpediatricians, who make thebulk of diagnoses of child-hood ADHD, typically aren’treimbursed for the time ittakes to conduct a rigorousevaluation, making theprocess “particularly chal-lenging for primary care cli-nicians,” the AmericanAcademyofPediatricsnoted.

The need for appropriatediagnosis is considerable, re-searchers said,given risks atboth ends of the spectrum:medicating children whodon’t have ADHD or under-treating children who sufferfrom a disorder thatmay se-riously impair their socialand educational functioning.

“I am a researcher, but Iamalsoamedicaldoctor,andI see thebenefit of a carefullymade diagnosis,” saidDariosGetahun, lead author of theKaiser Permanente study.

BY SARA BRUMFIELDThe Athens Messenger

The father of two OhioUniversity students is suingthe university, claiming thathis sons were wrongfullybilled for student health in-surance and legal servicestotaling $1,498. However,OU claims his sons simplymissed the deadlines to optout of the programs.

According to a complaintfiled with the Court ofClaims of Ohio last week,Jeff Squires of Plain City,Ohio, claims that his sonsNick and Nate were wrong-fully billed for services theydid not want including stu-dent health insurance, theWellBeingprogramandstu-dent legal services.

Squires claims thecharges are not legal be-causehis sonsdidnot signororally agree to a contract forthe products or services. Hewrote that the university’spolicy is that the servicesareto be “purchased” by stu-dents/parents unless thestudents opt-out of the pro-grams.

He also claims that hisfamily did opt out as theyhad provided proof of healthinsurance prior to receivingan opt-out email notifica-

tion.In addition to the $1,498

in services, Squires is alsoasking that the universityreimburse him$700 in legalfees.

Ina letter fromOU’sGen-eral Counsel John Bianca-mano to Squires’ lawyer, hewrote that in email ex-changes last year, Squires“conceded that he and hissons didnot payattention tomany notices and opportu-nities that (OU)presented tothem to learn about the in-surance program and its re-quirements.”

Biancamano wrote, “Webelieve that the manner inwhichwe offer health insur-ance coverage to our stu-dents is appropriate and wearenot in aposition tomakethe refund you requested.”

According toOhioUniver-sity’s Bursar’s website, thestudent health insurance,WellBeingprogramandstu-dent legal service are “op-tional fees,” but require anopt-out. The website statesthat every Athens campusstudent is automatically en-rolled in the threeprograms.

Thewebsite describes theWellBeing fee as being cre-ated in 2008 as an “optionalenhancement to studenthealth care.”

Q: It seems our 1 yearold is showing willfuldisobedience. We tell

him “no” and try to redirectbut he does the same thingsover and over again. Thethings in question includeturning over and not beingcooperative when I’m tryingto changehim,slappingus inthe face, and standing upduring bath time. I’m tryingto be creative with ways toentertain him and makethings fun but am gettingweary. Any advice on how Ican correct him?

A: I’m fairly certain this isyour first child because theexamplesyougaveof“willfuldisobedience” are typical ofthisage.By thinkingof themas acts of defiance that needcorrection, you’re setting thestage for ongoing, and ever-worsening, power struggles.In other words, the problemhere is not his behavior; it’syour perspective, your inter-pretation of his behavior.

The proper perspective is“so what?” So what if hesquirmswhenyouare tryingto change him? So what ifchanging him takes threeminutes instead of two? Sowhat if he stands up in thetub? Just steady him withonehandandwashhimwiththeother.Or,washhiminthekitchenor laundryroomsinkso that you are standing upand can exercise more phys-ical control of him while he’sstanding.

Sowhat if he slaps you inthe face? At this age, this isnot purposeful aggression.When it first occurred, itwasrandom. Your reaction—startled? angry? — inter-ested him, and he wants tosee it again. The solution is(a) to do your best to not putyour face within strikingrange, (b) to intercept asmany slaps as you can, and(c) react nonchalantly whenan attempt to intercept isn’tsuccessful.

The attempt on your parttoentertainandmakethingsfun may be part of the prob-lem.Without intention, your“entertainments”may be ex-

citing him and stimulatinghisactivity level.Youmaybe-lieve, as do many of today’smoms, that you should beconstantly talking to yourchild in order to promote“bonding” as well as properlanguage development.There’s a grain of truth inthat, but it’s not much morethan a grain.When mothersdidn’t have lots of time to de-vote to their children, chil-dren still learnedhowto talkand talkwell.

If all youdidwas sing oneof your favorite songs whileyou’re changing your son, forexample, that’s languagestimulation enough.In otherwords, you don’t have to betalking directly at your sonfor him to develop good lan-guage skills. And when youdo talk tohim,your tonedoesnot have to be upbeat and“entertaining.” It can be verymatter-of-fact, in fact.You donot have tomake everythingseem fun.You said you weregettingweary,and a lot of ef-fusive child-centerednessmaywell be the reasonwhy.

Fifty-plus years ago, be-fore roboticvacuumcleaners,programmable washingma-chines,andmicrowaveovens,mothers didn’t have time topay lots of attention to theirkids.They paid enough.Andwhen they did pay attention,they didn’t act like cruiseship recreation directors.And their kids seemed tohave turned out reasonablywell.

Slate: Parenting advice from Uncle Sam BY NICHOLAS DAYSlate

A century ago, an Or-wellian plot to subjugate allAmerican children to federalauthority was set in motion.Government bureaucratssystemically undermined theinfluence and the sanctity ofthe family: They told parentsthe right way to raise theirchildren. Children no longerbelonged exclusively to theirparents. Uncle Sam wasmoving in.

Or at least, that's how itwould be described today. Atthe time, they called thisdystopian nightmare the U.S.Children's Bureau, foundedin 1912. And it was wildlypopular.

In an era of high childmortality and chronicallypoor health, as well as rap-idly changing norms for chil-drearing, the bureau wasseen as a salvation. As ifthey'd been waiting for thebureau to be founded, par-ents across the country im-mediately inundated theChildren's Bureau with let-ters - at its high point, the bu-reau received 400,000missives a year - and got per-sonal responses back. Manyof the letters, from mothersdesperate for guidance andstruggling to survive, areheartrending to read. "Someof the letters are handwrit-ten, semi-literate, pencil let-ters from rural, blackcommunities in Alabama -

and then some are from FifthAvenue," says Janet Golden,a historian at Rutgers-Cam-den. "Sometimes you havewealthy people who writeand say, 'I took my baby tofive different doctors but Iwant to know what the gov-ernment thinks.' "

The new scientific-mindedchildrearing wisdom of theera - the new right way toraise your child - was dis-seminated through the Bu-reau's wildly popularpamphlet, "Infant Care."Tens of millions of copieswere distributed - but thatactually underestimates itsreach. Early baby books,where parents kept a recordof their infants, were alsofilled with its official advice;the publishers simply cutand pasted parts of "InfantCare" into their books.

No one objected to all thisfederal oversight. On the con-trary, in the 1910s and 20s,even before the modern wel-fare state, people not just feltinvested in government pro-grams - they thought the jobof the government was togive advice. It's a communalconnection unimaginabletoday. "Now we have a veryprivatized world," Goldensays. "We don't have a collec-tive interest in our babies. It'smy baby."

And how: Just recently,MSNBC's Melissa HarrisPerry ignited a firestorm bysaying that Americans need

to have a more collective no-tion of our children. Perrywas making what shethought was an anodynecomment. And it once wouldhave been. But it isn't any-more.

"Today a lot of people havea 'don't tell me how to live mylife' attitude toward the fed-eral government," Goldensays. "And here we have anera where people are saying,'Please tell me how to raisemy child.' "

This may be the most fun-damental difference betweenthe world for which the Chil-dren's Bureau was founded

and our own. Parents thenand now are still obsessedwith the same things: eating,sleeping, what to buy, how tosurvive this madness. Theadvice of the authoritiesabout these things haschanged - but then again, theadvice was, and is, alwayschanging. The far biggerchange is where we look forthat authority.

BEREA (AP) — Withtheir first pick under newowner Jimmy Haslam, theCleveland Browns put alittle more "Bark" intotheir defense.

That should make theDawg Pound howl.

Hanging onto the No. 6overall pick, a selectionthey considered tradingup until the last minute,the Browns selectedLSU's Barkevious Mingo,who played defensive endin college but will be usedas an outside pass rusherby the Browns.

"They needed a passrusher and somebody toget to the quarterback,"Mingo said on a confer-ence call.

The 6-foot-4, 241-poundMingo has the distinctionof being the first playertaken since Haslambought the franchise fromRandy Lerner in October.Mingo is also the first pickby new coach RobChudzinski, CEO JoeBanner and general man-ager Mike Lombardi, whohave orders from Haslamto turn around a franchisethat has made the playoffsjust once since 1999.

By coincidence, Mingowore a brown striped tieand orange pocket squarein his suit jacket to thedraft at Radio City MusicHall in New York. He'saware his name will be abig hit with fans in Cleve-land's notorious bleachersection, known for yearsas the "Dawg Pound."

"It is very fitting," hesaid when asked about hisunique name. "My momjust made it up."

Mingo recorded 4.5sacks last season as a jun-ior — down from eight asa sophomore — with theTigers and was namedsecond-team All-SEC.

The Browns are switch-ing from a 4-3 alignment

to an aggressive, 3-4 mul-tifront scheme under newcoordinator Ray Horton,who must be salivating atthe thought of turningMingo loose off the edge.He'll likely play on the op-posite side of Paul Kruger,who signed a five-year,$40 million free agent con-tract with the Browns inMarch.

Chudzinski said Hortonwas "very involved" in theprocess to pick Mingo.

The Browns discussedseveral trades, Bannersaid, but chose to stay atNo. 6 to snag Mingo.

"This is the outcome wewere hoping for," Bannersaid. "We just felt toostrong about the fit."

If Mingo wasn't avail-able, Banner said theBrowns had a trade linedup.

Mingo skipped his sen-ior season at LSU to jumpto the NFL. He raised hisprofile with a strong per-formance at the scoutingcombine, and said his goal"is to start in Week 1."Mingo, who didn't startplaying football until hisjunior year in high school,started 10 games last sea-son.

About an hour beforethe draft began, Haslam,who is under federal in-vestigation for fraud at histruck-stop chain, spokebriefly to some of theteam's season-ticket hold-ers and sponsors at aparty.

As Chudzinski, Bannerand Lombardi went overlast-minute details beforepicking Mingo, Haslamaddressed more than 100partygoers inside a fieldhouse at the team's train-ing facility.

Haslam thanked themfor their support and gavean update on the team's

Browns add‘Bark’ to ‘D’Cleveland takes Mingo

NFL teams go looking for beef in draftNEW YORK (AP) —

NFL teams bought in bulkearly in Thursday night'sdraft.

Unlike the last fewglam-and-glitter yearswhen bumper crops ofquarterbacks reigned, thiswas pure brawn: morethan 600 pounds at theoutset with offensive tack-les Eric Fisher of CentralMichigan and LukeJoeckel of Texas A&M.

The first seven pickswere all linemen: four onoffense, three on defense.

Fisher became the firstMid-American Conferenceplayer selected at the topwhen Kansas City's newregime led by coach AndyReid chose the 6-foot-7,306-pound offensivetackle.

"This is so surreal,"Fisher said. "I'm ready toget to work right now. I'mready to start playingsome football. I can'tprocess what's going onright now."

Fisher was followed byAll-American Joeckelgoing to Jacksonville, de-fensive end Dion Jordan ofOregon to Miami, whichtraded up with Oakland,and Oklahoma tackle

Lane Johnson to Philadel-phia. Not a skill positionplayer yet in sight — astark change from the lastfour drafts, when quarter-backs went first.

The procession of line-men continued with BYU

defensive end ZiggyAnsah, born in Ghana,going to Detroit; LSU de-fensive end BarkeviousMingo to Cleveland; andNorth Carolina guardJonathan Cooper to Ari-zona.

"That's a lot of love forthe big boys up front,which we usually don'tget," Fisher said.

That made for a ton ofbeef after the first sevenpicks.

And they wore it well,

with their designer suitsthat barely were ruffledwhen they each engulfedRoger Goodell in the nowtraditional bear hugs be-tween draftee and com-missioner.

"It's called a three-piece,

right?" asked Joeckel, whosported blue checks withthe vested suit, along witha striped tie.

Fisher was only thethird offensive tacklepicked No. 1, joining Or-lando Pace (1997) andJake Long (2008) since the1970 merger of the NFLand AFL. It's also the firsttime since '70 that offen-sive tackles went 1-2.

Even without a high-profile passer, runner ortackler going at the outset,the fans in the home of theRockettes were pumped.They chanted "U-S-A, U-S-A" when Goodell paidtribute to the first respon-ders at the BostonMarathon bombings andto the victims of the West,Texas explosion. Theyroared when Hall of Famequarterback Joe Namathbegan the countdown tothe first outdoor SuperBowl in a cold-weathersite by taking the podiumand screaming: "NewYork; Super Bowl 48."

The crowd didn't seemto care that early on thepicks were all heffers, nothoofers. No Andrew Lucksor RG3s at the top of thiscrop.

"What you're getting isa very athletic player, a

PIQUA DAILY CALL • WWW.DAILYCALL.COM SPORTS Friday, April 26, 2013 9

After hitting just twohome run all last season,Piqua has now hit six thisspring, including five inthe last week. CatcherKaity McCawley has four,including putting herselfin a tie for second in thestate record books withthree against Vandalia-Butler Tuesday.“It just crazy,” Piqua

coach Rick Claprood said.“I know they have beenlifting (in the weightroom). Haley (Dotson) wasthe only that hit a homerun last year and she hittwo.”More importantly it was

a big win in a matchup oftwo of the top teams in theDayton area.Piqua improved to 15-1

and Springboro fell to 13-3.“I am just so proud of

these kids,” Claprood said.“There is no question(these are games theywould have lost in thepast). These kids justnever stop battling.”McCawley didn’t dis-

agree that there is some-thing different.“I think we are just

more focused,” she said.Dotson agreed.“We have a group of

girls on this team with alot of experience,” shesaid. “We are really fo-cused and there is a lot ofleadership. We don’t getdown.”It was a game where

both defenses struggled at

times with a strong wind— Piqua committed fourerrors and Lebanon hadthree — which led to thebulk of the runs being un-earned.“You know, if we don’t

have the four errors, thegame is not even close,”Claprood said. “But, it wasthe same for Fairborn.”Piqua had started the

scoring with three runs inthe third inning, whenSpringboro had two of itserrors.Cotrell had a one-out

triple and scored when thethrow to third ended up inthe Piqua dugout andEmily Smith would add atwo-run single later in theinning.But, Springboro got two

runs in the fifth, whenPiqua made bad decisionstrying to get runners outat home on a fielder’schoice and error — brin-ing Claprood to themound.“I went and talked to

them and the kids wereright back into it afterthat,” he said.Piqua had two more er-

rors in the fifth and a RBIdouble by Amanda Thorn-ton put Springboro up 4-3.In the home fifth, Kyla

Blankenship single,Janise Hummel walkedand both scored when thePanthers dropped Smith’sfly ball to give Piqua a 5-4lead.Fairborn tied it in the

sixth on Riley Curtis’ RBI

single, setting up a dra-matic inning.In the top of the eighth,

Fairborn had runners onfirst and third with noouts and Claudia Zieglerput down a bunt.Dotson, who earlier in

the game caught a linedrive on the mound tostart a double play, lookedthe runner back to thirdand threw to Alex Cox atfirst. The runner brokehome and Cox threw toMcCawley who tagged herout.The runner on first

went to third and McCaw-ley’s throws missed byinches of getting her for atriple play.“Alex and I have been

playing together foryears,” Dotson said. “Shemade a great throw homeand Kaity (McCawley)made the tag.”But, the excitement

wasn’t over.The runner from third

tried to score on a wildpitch. McCawley trackedthe ball down and threwto Dotson at the plate foran inning-ending out.“If I have another gear,

I was definitely in it onthat one,” McCawley saidwith a laugh.Dotson was laughing

about that play as well.“I think I had a heart

attack — I think we bothdid,” she said.Two outs later, Dotson

ended the game with oneswing.

“A big hit by Haley (Dot-son),” Claprood said. “But,you go back to the top ofthe eighth. First the dou-ble play and then what aplay by Kaity (McCawley)on the wild pitch.”It wasn’t the first ex-

citement of the week.On Tuesday, McCawley

homered on her first threeat bats to put herself inthe state record book.“I don’t know,” McCaw-

ley said. “It was funny. OnMonday, I just couldn’t hitthe girl worth a darn.”And after her first two

homers, McCawley neverexpected another chance.“I thought they would

walk me or hit me,” shesaid. “I just knew what Iwas going to do if I got achance, but I neverthought I would get it. Thegirl just missed.”Dotson pitched a eight-

hitter for Piqua, strikingout five and walkingthree.Brooke Meinert and

Powell combined on aseven-hitter for Spring-boro, striking out six, hit-ting three and walkingtwo.Piqua faces another big

game tonight, traveling toLebanon, who is 14-2 —and looking to find a wayto “walk-off” with anotherwin.LINESCORESpringboro 000 221 00 — 5 8 3Piqua 003 020 01 — 6 7 4Meinert, Powell (4) and Thornton. Dotson

tempo is no comparison tolast year," Haslam said tothe group. "The energylevel at practice is quitedifferent. Players are realexcited. We had a goodfree agency and haveplenty of (salary) caproom.“We need to have an-

other good free agency, an-

other great draft."Haslam did not take

any questions or speak tothe media.On Tuesday, Haslam

met with NFL Commis-sioner Roger Goodell, whosaid the owner assuredhim he would cooperate inthe investigation.A leaguespokesman said last weekthat there were no plansto ask Haslam to stepaside. Last week, FBI andIRS agents raided Pilot'sheadquarters as part of aprobe into claims of fuelrebate fraud.

CINCINNATI (AP) —When linebacker JamesHarrison signed his two-year deal with Cincinnation Tuesday, the Bengalshad a proven playmakerat one of their main areasfor concern heading intothe NFL draft.Now, about that right

tackle ...The Bengals won't have

to worry so much about alinebacker when the draftstarts Thursday night.The 34-year-old Harrison

left Pittsburgh after heand the team couldn'tagree on a new contractthat would help the Steel-ers get under the salarycap.He'll move into one of

Cincinnati's outside line-backer spots, an upgradeto a defense that finishedsixth in the league lastseason in yards allowed.The Bengals have spent alot of money on keepingthe unit intact, includingbringing back middle line-backer Rey Maualuga."I think I bring leader-

ship as far as going out

there and leading by ex-ample," the five-time ProBowl player said. "Theyhave a few young guys inthe linebacker room and Ifeel like I can help themthere."Cincinnati has one

thing left on its to-do listbefore the draft beginsThursday: figure outwhether right tackleAndre Smith will be back.The unrestricted freeagent has been talking to

the Bengals about a newdeal, but there's been noagreement.Whether he returns will

factor into the choices theBengals make comeThursday."I am hopeful we can

get a solution done thereprior to the draft," coachMarvin Lewis said Tues-day. "I know Andre wouldlike to get it done and Ithink he'd feel betterabout things so he doesn't

get lost without a chairsomewhere."With the team return-

ing virtually intact, thedraft will be more aboutbringing in players whowill add depth for now andgrow into starters downthe line. The Bengals, whohave the 21st overall pick,have gotten to the playoffsas a wild card each of thelast two seasons, losing toHouston in the first roundboth years.The draft features a lot

of solid linemen. The Ben-gals could use help on theoffensive line. Even

though the defensive lineis a strength, they'll lookat adding to their rotationthere, too. They also coulduse help at safety andrunning back."I think in general,

there's offensive linementhat will end up beinggood players here in theNational FootballLeague," Lewis said. "Ithink there's defensivelinemen that will end upbeing good players.Maybea glut of those two groupsa little bit more, guys withsimilar body types and soforth.”

great kid, smart kid, en-gineering major," Reidsaid of Fisher, who reallybegan to draw attentionwith a strong Senior Bowl,showing he could handlethe highest level of compe-tition. "He can play anyposition along the line,and loves to play thegame."Joeckel didn't seem any

less thrilled to go No. 2."I don't have words for

all the emotions I feel," hesaid. "It's the best feelingof my entire life."Miami, envisioning Jor-

dan as the next Jason Tay-lor, sent its first-rounder(12th overall) and thisyear's second-rounder toOakland."Tackle is not a very

sexy position," Johnsonsaid. "But it's a position ofdire need."The next big trade saw

the Rams move up eightspots — and send fourpicks to Buffalo to do so.St. Louis ended the pur-suit of heft by grabbingWest Virginia wide re-ceiver Tavon Austin, whoat 5-8, 174 pounds, couldprobably fit in the hippocket of any of the guyspicked ahead of him.The New York Jets may

have found a replacementfor star cornerback Dar-relle Revis — traded to

Tampa Bay — when theypicked AlabamaAll-Amer-ican Dee Milliner. Thatwas the first of threestraight selections fromtwo-time national cham-pion Alabama: Tennesseetook guard Chance War-mack and San Diego gotoffensive tackle D.J.Fluker.Roll Tide, indeed.Oakland used the pick

it got from the Dolphinsfor Houston cornerbackD.J. Hayden, who nearlydied last November after acollision in practice tore ablood vessel off the back ofhis heart.He was taken to a hos-

pital and underwent sur-gery.Unlike with their choice

of Milliner, which was metraucous cheers, the Jetsnext selection, defensivetackle Sheldon Richard-son of Missouri, drew scat-tered boos and even a few"Who?" comments."I'm here to bring a

championship back toNew York," Richardsonsaid.Utah defensive tackle

Star Lotulelei, who alsohad a heart scare at theNFL combine but thenchecked out fine, went14th to Carolina, followedby Texas safety KennyVaccaro to New Orleans.
