choice and competition throughmore private plans.”Romney also would trim ben-

efits for wealthier people andgradually raise the eligibilityage. None of his proposedchanges would affect Ameri-cans now 55 or older.Obama aide Stephanie Cut-

ter, also on CNN, said Romney’splan to keep the $716 billion inMedicare over 10 years woulddo nothing to shore up the pro-gram.“They’re going to use tax-

payer dollars to give subsidiesto insurance companies,” shesaid.Obama’s proposed reductions

would not hurt Medicare recip-ients, Cutter said, because hewould create incentives forhealth providers to be more ef-ficient.On “Fox News Sunday,” Re-

publican adviser Ed Gillespiewas asked about a nonpartisanCongressional Budget Officefinding that under Romney’s“premium support” proposals,“Medicare beneficiaries willbear a much larger share oftheir health care cost.”“We reject that in our analy-

sis,” Gillespie said. He saidRomney’s overall plans, includ-ing a higher eligibility age,eventually would slow the pro-gram’s growth.On another front, Gillespie

disputed Obama’s claim thatRomney’s call for deeper taxcuts will unfairly benefit thewealthy and worsen the deficit.Romney’s plan, Gillespie

said, “would allow for house-holds with incomes less than$200,000 to not pay on capitalgains and dividends, becausewe believe that would help fos-ter job creation.”Obama, his wife and their

two daughters attended serv-ices at St. John’s EpiscopalChurch, across the street fromthe White House.The president plans to cam-

paign Tuesday in Ohio, andWednesday in Nevada andNew York.Romney attended the Mor-

mon church in Wolfeboro, N.H.— where he has a summerhome—with his wife,Ann, andsix of their grandchildren. Thechildren’s parents, Tagg andJennifer Romney, also at-tended.One grandson, Johnny, spent

much of service seated on hisgrandmother’s lap — and abriefer time on his grandfa-ther’s lap — quietly pagingthrough children’s picturebooks.The churchgoers, accustomed

to seeing the Romneys here insummer months, paid no spe-cial attention to the family. Noone from the pulpit mentionedtheir presence.Romney and Ryan plan to

talk with voters Monday inManchester, N.H. Romney thenwill fly to New Orleans for afundraiser.

senators and congressmengo out into one of thesewidespread, drought-stricken areas and spend aday,” said Eggerling, 44, ofMartell, Neb. “Walkaround and see the effectsof what’s going on.Look atthe local economies andseewhat’s going to happento them.Then they can goback toWashingtonwith areal perspective and say,‘Hey; we need to do some-thing.’”Most farmers are hav-

ing a hard year withdrought and unusuallywarm temperatures in themiddle of the countryburning up everythingfrom corn to cabbage. Butranchers are in a particu-larly precarious positionbecause most don’t haveaccess to federally subsi-dized insurance programsthat cover crops like cornand soybeans.

Private companieswon’t insure grazing landbecause it’s too hard topredict losses, and ranch-ers say pilot programstested by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture aretoo expensive and pay outlittle when there’s a loss,Nebraska Farm ServiceAgency director DanSteinkruger said.The White House an-

nounced last week thatthe federal governmentwill buy up to $170millionworth of pork and othermeat for food assistanceprograms in an effort tohelp drought-strickenfarmers. The Defense De-partment also was ex-pected to encourage itsvendors to speed up meatpurchases in an effort toprop up prices with a gluton the market expected inthe next few months.Feed prices soared amid

the drought, and livestockfarmers have been sellingoff animals for months as

they run out ofmoney.Themeat is expected to hitgrocery stores this fall,with prices droppingbriefly and then risingearly next year. Mean-while, farmers are gettinga fraction ofwhat their an-imals would normally beworth at sales.“It’s not likewe can hold

our products — like set-ting a shirt on a shelf untilit sells for the price weset,” said Kristen Hasse-brook, a spokeswoman forthe Nebraska Cattlemen,a trade group. “We can’tjust tell that steer or heifer

to stop eating for a coupleof days until the marketshare goes up. If we can’tfeed that animal, we haveto sell it for whatever theprice is that day.”The Obama adminis-

tration also has offeredlow-interest emergencyloans, opened federal landfor grazing and distrib-uted $30 million to getwater to livestock. Farm-ers say they’ll take whathelp they can get, butemergency loans comewith a tangle of red tapeand aren’t available toeveryone. Water is appre-

ciated, but animals needto eat, and evenwith graz-ing on some federal land,hay is in short supply.The House approved

$383 million in disasterrelief earlier this month,but Congress went homebefore the Senate acted onthe bill. The Senate hadpreviously passed a disas-ter aid package as part ofa five-year farm bill, butGOP leaders in the Houserefused to bring that to avote becausemanyRepub-licans object to the nearly$80 billion included for thefood stamp program.

BEREA (AP) — The Ohio Turnpikehas put a stop to an estimated $50,000-a-year scam involving truck drivers whomanaged to duck part of their tolls.

Truckers cheated automated faremachines to save up to $40 a trip acrossthe 241-mile toll road, says David Miller,the turnpike’s director of audit and in-ternal control.

Turnpike officials told The (Cleve-land) Plain Dealer (bit.ly/Pmm0S6) thatthe turnpike updated its toll-collectingsystem in July to deter the scam.

The machines now charge drivers afull, cross-state toll if a ticket shows theytraveled only a few exits but entered theturnpike many hours before, ExecutiveDirector Richard Hodges said Monday.

The scam worked this way: A truckertaking a ticket at the turnpike’s entrynear Indiana would travel across Ohioand claim the ticket was lost when hehit the last interchange before Pennsyl-vania.

The trucker would pay $44 for the“lost” ticket, the same he’d pay if he hadturned in the ticket. After delivering hisload to the east, the trucker would headback on the turnpike.

Instead of crossing the state and pay-ing another $44, the trucker would leavethe turnpike several exits before the In-diana border and feed the “lost” ticket toan automated fare machine. Toll ticketsdon’t designate east or west travel.

To the machine, the trucker had trav-eled only a short distance from the Indi-ana border and would pay, depending onthe exit, a toll less than $10, turnpike of-ficials said.

Toll collectors are trained to pick upon the scam by noting excessive time 24hours or more between the truck entryand exit.

A number of interchanges in westernOhio no longer have manned toll boothsand one year ago officials noticed thenumber of tickets showing short trips,

but long durations, were on the rise atunmanned exits, Miller said.

The staff counted hundreds of ques-tionable toll tickets over six months,Miller said. One ticket showed a timelapse of 11 months between entry andexit.

In July, the turnpike fixed the systemso that truckers must pay a full, cross-state fare if they exceed a certain timelimit between entry and exit on the tollroad. Hodges did not want to publicizethe time limit to avoid tipping truckerswho like to game the system.

Hodges said the fix is working andthe number of questionable tickets is de-clining.

“There’s drivers out there who woulddo anything to save a buck,” said VictorKislyanka, 21, of Sacramento, Calif.,who stopped his rig at a Richfield truckstop near the turnpike and Interstate77.

“I personally don’t understand it.”

Turnpike fix heads off toll cheating

COLUMBUS (AP) — Inthe late 1980s, TommyThompson was the hunter,searching for and retrievingmillions of dollars in goldbars and coins from a shipthat sank in a hurricane offthe North Carolina coast.Now, he’s the hunted, thesubject of an arrest warrantfor failing to appear in court

in Ohio in one of the lengthylegal fights that followed thediscovery.

A federal judge in Ohioordered the warrant forThompson this week afterhe failed to appear in courtin a case that has gone onfor more than six years. U.S.Marshals said they’re fol-lowing tips from the public

in hopes of locating Thomp-son, who is believed to havea home in eastern Florida.

The situation stems froma lawsuit by seamen whoclaimed they’re entitled toabout 2 percent of sale pro-ceeds from the treasurefound in the S.S. CentralAmerica, which went downin 1857 and Thompson and

his crew found. The gold wassold for a total of more than$50 million, leaving about$30 million after the cost ofthe recovery efforts, and theseamen believe they’re oweda portion of that in additionto what they were paid fortheir work, said MichaelRoy Szolosi, an attorney forthem.

Magic has been aroundfor thousands of years andhas been passed on and onthrough the generation tocurrent day magicians. Themajority of the principles ofmagic have been around forhundreds of years andhaven’t changed.

Originally magic wasused as a source of poweras well as entertainment.Descriptions of early magicalhappening were alwaysexaggerated from person toperson. Looking back tryingto work out what actuallyhappened is almost impossi-ble, because so many peo-ple have added their ownstories to what really hap-pened.

Nowadays, most peopledon’t believe in magic. Theyappreciate the skill involvedand can’t work out how youare making the magic hap-pen but they know that it is

not real. When in previoustimes, people did not under-stand how ordinary peoplecould perform such miracles,they thought they must bewitches or wizards. They hadno idea that magic was justthe ability to deceive people,they actually believed themagic being performed wasreal.

Medicine men, priestsand witch doctors used toperform magic in order todemonstrate superhumanpowers so normal peoplewould always be in awe ofthem.

Many years ago Sleightof Hand was linked with sci-ence and herbalism to createa convincing blend of mysti-cism. Hypnotism and auto-suggestion were also a pop-ular part of magic to be per-formed. The ritual of burningherbs would act as a seda-tive to the audience and

make them more receptiveto the magician’s tricks.

The earliest pictures ofmagic being performed wereof magician Beni Hassan,which were found in a tombbetween Cairo and Luxor inEgypt. The pictures depicttwo people performing thefamous cups and balls trick.Some experts, who studyEgypt and the Egyptianways, believe that it is just agame and not a magic trickbecause magic was taken soseriously, that simple conjur-ing would not have beenaccepted in those days.

The earliest writtenaccount of a magician is theWestcar Papyrus, which isnow held in the Berlin StateMuseum. It was written inabout 1700BC. The docu-ment tells of three magi-cians. The first magician –Ubaoner – who disposed ofan unfaithful servant by mak-

ing a wax crocodile comealive and drag the servant tothe bottom of the nearestpond. The second isZazamonkh. The story is thatsome of the King’s wiveswere playing in a boat, whenone of them dropped a pen-dant into the water. The Kingcalled upon a magician whofolded the lake in half,drained the water andretrieved the pendant.

These two stories aregood examples of theChinese Whisper style ofstory telling, which has beenaround for thousands ofyears, where the storybecomes too unbelievable aspeople have added their ownparts to it that they now canonly be treated as myths. Atthe times, there was sure tobe something magical hap-pen, but not to this extent.

Math Magic Tricks For KidsStep By Step

As an example of Fun Mathematics Tricks, we will be discussing asimple prediction method called 52 Card Prediction. This is a greattrick for both beginner magicians as well as the advanced. Here is astep by step guide for the 52 Card Prediction:

1. Shuffle a deck of cards (make sure it contains all 52 cards or thistrick will not work)

2. Have audience look at the card on the bottom of the deck (makingsure not to look at it yourself)

3. Next take the top three cards and turn them face up in a row onthe table in front of you.

4. Tell an audience member to deal the cards face down below eachface up card.

5. The number of cards dealt is based upon the three initial cardsturned face up. What ever card is face up, subtract it from 15 and thatis how many cards you will deal. So if the first face up card is a 4, 15-4=11…deal 11 card for that pile. Jack=11, queen=12, king=13, Ace=1

6. Once the three piles are dealt place them face down under thedeck. Make sure to leave the 3 original face up cards on the table!

7. Now ask an audience member to add up the total value of thethree face up cards (ex: 4+9+queen=25)

8. Now deal out the number of cards from step 7.9. Now tell the audience you will make their card come forth!!! Count

from the top of the face down deck…one, two, three, FOUR!!!10. Turn over the fourth card to reveal the chosen card! and say

“see? i made it come fourth!”

Fins are a fish’s arms and legs. Most fish swim by moving theirtail fins from side to side.

• Look through your newspaper for examples of the ways peopletravel. Make a collage with pictures that show different modes oftransportation. Are any of them seaworthy?

• Unscramble the letters below for the name of a fish that might liketo come to your school!

o g l d i f h s

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

Fish in schools often break up at night to search for food. Butthey regroup during the day to swim.

• Make a day and night chart on a piece of construction paper. Clippictures from the newspaper of things YOU do during the day andthings you do at night.

All the fish that live together in a school are usually alike in size.Some schools have 25 or less fish, while others might consist ofhundreds of millions.

• Count the number of fish in the school on this page. Then findthat number eight times in the newspaper. While you’re searching,look in your newspaper for numbers less than 25. Circle them inred. Then look for numbers greater than 25. Circle them in green.See who can find the largest newspaper number.

• Although fish in schools are usually alike, let’s make this school offish different. Color three fish blue. Color two fish red. Color twofish green. And color one fish the color of your choice.

ome fish live alone in the ocean.Others live in close groups called“schools.” Fish travel together in

schools to protect themselves from other fish.

Ohio is home to more than 890,000 veterans,mak-ing our state the nation’s sixth-largest popula-tion of veterans.

Despite their service, an unacceptably high numberof veterans struggle to find work. Just as we invest inour servicemembers while they’re on the battlefield, weshould do the same when they return home.That’s why it’s imperative that we do a better job of

connecting veterans with the support resources theydeserve.Among them is the Veterans Retraining Assistance

Program (VRAP), a joint Department of Veterans Af-fairs (VA) and Department of Labor training initiativethat is a component of the recently passedVOW to HireHeroes Act. VRAP provides unemployed veterans be-tween the ages of 35 and 60 the opportunity to pursuetraining for new careers in high demand occupations.From welders, to paralegals, to teacher’s aides, VRAPoffers wide ranging opportu-nities for veterans seekingwork.However, as the program

is limited to 99,000 partici-pants through March 31,2014—and with the firstwave of enrollment closingat the end of September—it’s crucial that Ohio’s veter-ans apply quickly for thesevital benefits. It’s our dutyto Ohio’s heroes that wespread the word to all eligi-ble participants.Eligible veterans must be at least 35 but no more

than 60 years of age; unemployed, received an otherthan dishonorable discharge; not eligible for any otherVA education benefit program; not receiving VA com-pensation due to being unemployed; and not enrolledin a federal or state job training program.Veterans can also find work through the Justice De-

partment’s new initiative, “Vets to COPS” (CommunityOriented Policing Services). This program, which is acomponent of the Department of Justice’s Cops HiringProgram (CHP), requires that all new officers hiredthrough the program must be military veterans thathave served at least 180 days of active military service,any part of which occurred on or after September 11,2001.While too many police departments across our state

have had to lay off police officers due to budget chal-lenges, too many recently-returned veterans havestruggled to find work.These men and women who fought to keep our coun-

try safe shouldn’t have to fight for a job when they comehome.“Vets to COPS” is a critical investment in the people

who devote their lives to protecting Ohioans—both asmembers of our Armed Forces and as law enforcementofficers.Finally, it’s crucial that word spreads regarding the

U.S Department of Transportation and VA’s new web-sites designed to help military veterans find jobs in thetransportation industry.The websites will link to the Veterans Transporta-

tion Career Center, where veterans can enter their spe-cific military work experience and see how it translatesto jobs in the civilian transportation industry.The site will guide veterans to jobs in five positions

from aviation pilot, aviation maintenance technician,air traffic controller, commercial motor vehicle driver,and emergency medical services. Veterans seekingwork can find what training and certification is neededfor civilian jobs, determine what career fits best withtheir background, and search for available jobs in theirfield. The portals are available at www.dot.gov andwww.va.gov.Our servicemembers and veterans deserve our na-

tion’s full support. And at the very least, they deserveelected officials who are willing to put partisan battlesaside to ensure that returning veterans have jobs toease their transition into civilian life.My constituent services office —which you can reach

by calling (216) 522-7272 — stands prepared to helpOhio veterans receive the support they need.As a mem-ber of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, I’mcommitted to ensuring veterans have the tools theyneed to find employment.

Sherrod Brown is the senior U.S. senator from Ohio.

very special people. Butare they more specialthan, say, Nobel Prizewinners, or police officers,or nurses, or spiritualgurus, or brilliant inven-tors or researchers whosediscoveries enhance ourlives? If an election yearhappens to fall in anOlympics year, yes.Both presidential can-

didates have embraced anastonishingly silly buthighly populist measurein Congress to exemptOlympic medalists fromtaxes, an idea that, natu-rally, originated with thatbastion of silly but pop-ulist tax proposals,Grover Norquist’s Ameri-cans for Tax Reform. TheU.S. Olympic Committeeawards honorariums inthe amount of $25,000 foreach gold medal, $15,000for silver and $10,000 forbronze, which means,Norquist’s group sputters,that a gold medalistwould be on the hook tosend up to $8,986 of his orher winnings to the IRS.Never mind that the

fact-checking organiza-tion PolitiFact ruled thisclaim “Mostly False,” be-cause any decent account-ant could reduce that taxbite to as little as zero bydeducting the expensespaid to win that medal,such as travel, uniforms,classes, payments tocoaches, cost of equip-ment, etc. Republicans,with some Democraticsupport, quickly spon-sored legislation in theHouse and Senate tomake Norquist’s notionlaw, and the White Houseweighed in by saying thatif Congress approves thebill, President BarackObama will sign it.Why? There’s no legiti-

mate tax policy reason.Politicians in both partiescomplain endlessly aboutthe complexity of the U.S.tax code and its manyneedless loopholes, yetthey’re only too happy toadd to the complexity anddrill another loophole inan election season whenliberals and conservativesalike are rooting for TeamUSA in London.This mindless bill

should be rejected withthe authority of a KerriWalsh Jennings block.

Commentary

In the eyes of the Obamaadministration, mostDemocratic lawmakers

and left-leaning editorialpages across the country,voter fraud is a problem thatdoesn’t exist. Allegations offraud, they say, are littlemore than pretexts conjuredup by Republicans to justifyvoter ID laws designed tosuppress Democraticturnout.That argument becomes much harder

to make after reading a discussion of the2008 Minnesota Senate race in “Who’sCounting?”, a new book by conservativejournalist John Fund and former BushJustice Department official Hans vonSpakovsky. Although the authors coverthe whole range of voter fraud issues,their chapter on Minnesota is enough toconvince any skeptic that there are timeswhen voter fraud not only exists but canbe critical to the outcome of an importantrace.In the ‘08 campaign, Republican Sen.

Norm Coleman was running for re-elec-tion against DemocratAl Franken. It wasimpossibly close; on themorning after theelection, after 2.9 million people hadvoted, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes.Franken and his Democratic allies dis-

patched an army of lawyers to challengethe results. After the first canvass, Cole-man’s lead was down to 206 votes. Thatwas followed bymonths of wrangling andlitigation. In the end, Franken was de-clared the winner by 312 votes. He wassworn into office in July 2009, eightmonths after the election.During the controversy, a conservative

group calledMinnesotaMajority began tolook into claims of voter fraud. Compar-ing criminal records with voting rolls, thegroup identified 1,099 felons — all ineli-gible to vote — who had voted in theFranken-Coleman race.Minnesota Majority took the informa-

tion to prosecutors across the state,manyof whom showed no interest in pursuingit. But Minnesota law requires authori-ties to investigate such leads. And so far,Fund and von Spakovsky report, 177 peo-ple have been convicted — not just ac-cused, but convicted — of votingfraudulently in the Senate race. Another66 are awaiting trial. “The numbersaren’t greater,” the authors say, “becausethe standard for convicting someone ofvoter fraud in Minnesota is that theymust have been both ineligible, and‘knowingly’ voted unlawfully.” The ac-cused can get off by claiming not to haveknown they did anything wrong.Still, that’s a total of 243 people either

convicted of voter fraud orawaiting trial in an electionthat was decided by 312votes. With 1,099 examplesidentified byMinnesotaMa-jority, and with evidencesuggesting that felons,whenthey do vote, strongly favorDemocrats, it doesn’t re-quire a leap to suggest theremight one day be proof thatAl Franken was elected onthe strength of voter fraud.

And that’s just the question of votingby felons. Minnesota Majority also foundall sorts of other irregularities that castfurther doubt on the Senate results.The election was particularly impor-

tant because Franken’s victory gave Sen-ate Democrats a 60th vote in favor ofPresident Obama’s national health careproposal— the deciding vote to overcomea Republican filibuster. If Coleman hadkept his seat, there would have been no60th vote, and no Obamacare.Voter fraud matters when contests are

close. When an election is decided by ahuge margin, no one can plausibly claimfraud made the difference. But the Min-nesota race was excruciatingly close.Andthen, in the Obamacare debate, Democ-rats could not afford to lose even a singlevote. So if there were any case thatdemonstrates that voter fraud both existsand has real consequences, it is Min-nesota 2008.Yet Democrats across the country con-

tinue to downplay the importance of theissue. Last year, Rep. DebbieWassermanSchultz, chairman of the Democratic Na-tional Committee, denounced “the gauzyaccusation that voter fraud is somehow aproblem,when over and over again it hasbeen proven that you’re more likely to gethit by lightning than you are to (be) a vic-tim of voter fraud.”Wasserman Schultz and her fellow De-

mocrats are doing everything they can tostop reasonable anti-fraud measures,like removing ineligible voters from therolls and voter ID. Through it all, theymaintain they are simply defending ourmost fundamental right, the right tovote.But voter fraud involves that right, too.

“When voters are disenfranchised by thecounting of improperly cast ballots or out-right fraud, their civil rights are violatedjust as surely as if they were preventedfrom voting,” write Fund and vonSpakovsky. “The integrity of the ballotbox is just as important to the credibilityof elections as access to it.”

Famous hand

Italy defeated theUnited States in the 1965world team championshipstaged in Buenos Aires,Argentina, but the Ameri-can team did well at bothtables on this deal.At the first table, the

U.S. East-West pair got tothree spades on the bid-ding shown. The ItalianSouth could have madethree diamonds, but he

was denied the opportu-nity to bid it by the Amer-ican pair’s pre-emptivetactics.West should have gone

down one, but the defenseslipped. North led thequeen of diamonds andcontinued with a diamondto South’s king. Souththen played a third dia-mond, on which West dis-carded a heart as Northruffed with the jack.North returned a low

heart to South’s ace, andSouth led a fourth roundof diamonds. West dis-carded a club as dummyruffed with the six, and atrump lead from dummyallowed West to claim therest of the tricks after theking appeared.At the second table,

where B. Jay Becker andDorothy Hayden wereseated North-South for

the U.S., the bidding tooka dramatic turn:

Mrs. Hayden’s three-notrump call, thoughhighly unusual, was well-judged.With the expectedlow-spade lead -- assum-ing West had the ace,which seemed likely -- shecould count nine tricks innotrump.West led the queen of

spades, and Mrs. Hayden,thanks to her bold bid,eventually finished with10 tricks to net the Amer-

ican team a gain of 770points. It is true that, withthe jack of spades in theNorth hand, threenotrump could not be de-feated with any lead, butgetting there was never-theless a coup of the firstorder.

Tomorrow: Strictly amatter of logic.

DEAR ABBY:My son isa career soldier, ArmyRangers Airborne, and yes,I am proud of him. Duringhis 15 years of active dutyhe has been involved inevery “action” around theworld. The greatest gift Ihave been given startedwith an idea conceived bytwo high school students inMassachusetts. The pro-gram is called Cell Phonesfor Soldiers, and these arethe basics:Old cellphones are do-

nated and then sold to a re-cycler, and with thatmoney phone cards arepurchased and donated tosoldiers all over the world.Eighty percent of callshome by active-duty sol-diers are made using thesecards.I have never heard of

such a win-win program,and the biggest winner isthe family member whoanswers the phone andhears, “Hi, Mom. I love you.I’m OK.”

— DR. LISAMORGAN, A VERYTHANKFUL MOM

DEAR DR. MORGAN:Until I read your letter, Ihadn’t heard of the pro-gram, either. It seems veryworthwhile, and somethinganyone who wants to sup-port members of our mili-tary might be interested in.Founded in 2004, Cell

Phones for Soldiers is anonprofit 501(c)(3) organi-zation whose mission is toprovide free communica-tion tools for military serv-ing overseas. There aremore than 15,000 collec-tion sites across the UnitedStates. Nearly 12,000 call-ing cards are mailed eachweek, and since 2004, morethan 150 million minutesof talk time have been pro-vided. Anyone interested inlearning more should visitcellphonesforsoldiers.com.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 21,almost 22, and I have justfound out that it isn’t theflu. I’m pregnant. The prob-lem is, I don’t know whothe father is. I have an“idea” of who he might be— but it could be threeother guys. I’m not in a re-lationship with any ofthem. No. 1 and No. 2, Iwouldn’t want my child ex-posed to because of some ofthe things they do. I have heard that if a

mother is on state supportand the parents aren’t to-gether, the father will haveto pay child support. Is thattrue? I don’t know what todo.

— LOST AND CON-FUSED IN MIS-

SOURI

DEAR LOSTAND CONFUSED: Youare going to need prenatalcare to ensure you have ahealthy baby. Your localPlanned Parenthoodhealth center may be ableto provide prenatal care orrefer you to other low-costoptions. Your next stop should be

your county department ofsocial services so thatwhen your child arrives,you’ll be able to feed it. I’msure they will want the fa-ther to contribute finan-cially. Determining whichcandidate is — or is not —the father is as simple asgetting a paternity test.P.S. And this is impor-

tant, too: In the future,Planned Parenthood canprovide you with reliable,low-cost contraceptiveservices, so the next timeyou become pregnant itwill be by choice and witha committed partner.

DEAR ABBY: I am 7years old and me and myparents can never agree onmy bedtime. Do you think7:30, 8, 8:30, 9, 9:30, 10, 11or midnight?

— BAD BEDTIMEIN BOSTON

DEAR BAD BED-TIME: It depends on whattime you’re expected to getup the next morning. Ac-cording to the experts, chil-dren between the ages of 5and 10 years old need be-tween 10 and 11 hours ofsleep each night. So countbackward from the timeyour day is supposed tostart and you’ll know whattime you’re supposed to bein bed (8:30 p.m. seemsabout right to me).

DAVID GERMAINAP Movie Writer

“Sparkle” is like a box of JulyFourth sparklers. It sizzles brieflywhenever people open their mouthsto sing, flames out, then flashes tolife again when someone lights an-other musical sparkler.In between, when people open

their mouths to talk, the charactersmostly are like burned-outsparklers — stiff, inert, disposablemetal sticks.Not really the way we’d like to re-

member Whitney Houston or wel-come a gifted singer such as JordinSparks to the big-screen. But themain attraction of “Sparkle” is theglitter and glamour, and in that itdelivers, compensating somewhatfor the bad melodrama and bad act-ing in a bad story of a Supremes-style sister act on the late 1960sMotown scene.A remake of the 1976 movie,

“Sparkle” was a passion project forHouston, also an executive produceron the production. Her death on theeve of the Grammys in Februaryturned the movie into a memorial ofsorts, but her performance as a dis-approving mom is slight, while theone solo number she sings is blah, asad reminder of another gloriousvoice gone gruff with time and hardliving.In the title role, “American Idol”

winner Sparks has an innocenceand earnestness, wide eyes filledwith hope and decency, a blazingsmile, that beautiful singing voice.And then she has to go and talk, inflat, breathless tones, infusingSparkle with all the conviction of adrama club diva with her first leadin a school play.Sparks is surrounded by veteran

actors who, while not at their best,at least know how to mug their waythrough a lurid story filled withsilly people and preposterous turns.While constantly upstaged by her

co-stars, Sparks also gets shafted bythe action itself as director SalimAkil (“Jumping the Broom”) and hiswife, screenwriter Mara Brock Akil,leave her on the sidelines, a big-hearted wallflower watching every-one else have fun and do the heavylifting.So you have a movie called

“Sparkle,” about an aspiring singerand songwriter named Sparkle,who is background noise to her ownstory.Sparkle’s the youngest of three

sisters raised by stern, religious De-troit businesswoman Emma (Hous-ton), who had a taste of musicalsuccess in her youth, got burnedbadly, and now wants nothing butthe straight-and-narrow for hergirls.Eldest sibling Tammy (Carmen

Ejogo), who goes by the name Sister,is the wild child — drop-dead gor-geous and desperate to break out ofthe confines of Emma’s world. Witha magnificent voice and spicy stagepresence, Sister’s a born star as shetakes the lead in a threesomebacked by Sparkle and middle sib-ling Dolores (Tika Sumpter).Aided by their manager,

Sparkle’s new boyfriend Stix (DerekLuke), the trio leaps to local star-dom and the prospects of a recorddeal, powered by Sister’s voice andshowmanship and Sparkle’sprovocative pop songs.The musical numbers are slinky

and sexy, highlighted by CurtisMayfield classics and some catchytunes written by R. Kelly, withEjogo, Sparks and Sumpter daz-zling in racy outfits from costumedesigner Ruth E. Carter.“Sparkle” really is Sister and

Emma’s story more than anythingas Houston preaches againstworldly temptations and Ejogograsps for them, anyway.Luke is sturdy but boring, as is

Omari Hardwick as Stix’s cousin,Levi, a decent guy who falls madly

for Sister. Mike Epps is stuck in aflash role as stand-up comedy starSatin, who sweeps Sister awayswooning but devolves instantlyinto the bad wolf certain to becomeher downfall.Ejogo steals the show, getting the

best songs to sing and the best linesto shout as the melodrama turnsshrill. Even as the action becomestawdry and laughable, Ejogo keepsSister grounded, a watchable if notaltogether believable woman se-duced by success.Sumpter manages sass and

strength as the smart, sensible sis-ter, leaving Sparks playing thirdfiddle in her own movie. Her ro-mance is uninteresting and her is-sues with mom are uninvolvedcompared to Sister’s, while the film-makers rein in Sparks musicallyuntil the very end. When she finallygets to center stage, it’s a doozy of aproduction number — a great musicvideo but an abrupt transition fromquiet church mouse to self-pos-sessed superstar that’s way over thetop in context of the story.Houston sort of speed-mumbles

her way through much of her dia-logue, and though we’re told she’s aloving parent, she plays Emmamostly as a mean, bitter, suspiciousmom.There is a chilling moment,

though, as Emma asks, “Was my lifenot enough of a cautionary tale?”If Houston were still alive, the

line would resonate, given her drugproblems, her tumultuous personallife, her diminished voice. WithHouston gone, the line becomes asad epitaph for a life gone wrong, atalent wasted.“Sparkle,” released by Sony’s

TriStar Pictures, is rated PG-13 formature thematic content involvingdomestic abuse and drug material,and for some violence, language andsmoking. Running time: 116 min-utes. Two stars out of four.

HOUSTON — HoustonHigh School senior JordanAcker, of Hardin, is themost recent local residentto achieve the rank ofEagle Scout. Acker ,17, isa member of Troop 239 ofHouston led by Scoutmas-ter Dan Hemmert.In deciding on an Eagle

project, Acker needed tolook no further than thesign at the entrance to therecently constructedHardin-Houston Schoolcomplex. The area aroundthe sign needed somethingto make the spot moreinviting, so Acker plannedto do some decorativelandscaping. Now thespace is adorned by an as-sortment of flowers, plantsand grass to prevent ero-sion. The work was justcompleted several daysago, with a finishing touch

of a layer of mulch.Acker was assisted in

the project by other scouts,his parents, a fellowScout’s sister, Hemmert,and one other parent whovolunteered to help withthe project. Acker and hisfather began by applyingherbicide to the space, andthen went over the spot ontwo different occasionswith a tiller to properlyprepare the soil for plant-ing. Next came the plant-ing of daylilies, junipersand grass.To complete an Eagle

Scout project, the prospec-tive Eagle must submit aproject plan and budgetfor approval. Acker madeup an outline of whatwould be planted where,and a list of materials thatwould be needed. Ackeralso had to do somefundraising, and localbusinesses and some

neighbors and friendsmade some donations tothe project. He roundedout the financial needs

with his own donations.Acker says that he has

been involved in scoutingfor eight years. He points

out that he most enjoysthe outdoor skills that in-clude camping and cook-ing outdoors.

CINCINNATI (AP) —Xavier Paul kept theCincinnati Reds winningin spite of themselves.Paul led off the ninth

inning with a pinch-hittriple and Ryan Haniganfollowed with a singleSunday as Cincinnatiovercame three more er-rors to pull out a 5-4 winover the Chicago Cubs.Paul lined the first

pitch from Shawn Camp(3-6) over first base intothe right-field corner.Hanigan hit the next pitchto left-center over thedrawn-in Chicago outfield."I knew the ball was

down the line and I had achance for three," Paulsaid. "I was trying to bustit out of the box. There's abig difference betweenbeing on third with no-body out and being on sec-ond with no outs. On thefirst pitch, I was lookingfor a pitch I could drive. Iwent out with the mindsetthat, if I got a pitch I couldhandle, I was hacking. Igot it, and luckily, I got agood swing on it."Aroldis Chapman (5-4)

struck out two in theninth. Brett Jackson dou-bled with one out, but wascaught trying to stealthird.The NL Central-leading

Reds took three out of fourfrom the Cubs and fin-ished a 5-2 homestand.

Cincinnati made 10 errorsin those seven games,leading to seven unearnedruns.The Reds went into

Sunday tied for second inthe NL in fielding, and thesloppy glovework leftmanager Dusty Baker lessthan giddy about the win."Is there stink on the

field?" wondered Baker,who said he spoke withhis team about tighteningup the defense while theReds were in Chicago aweek ago. "It was an uglywin, but a win's a win.We've got to tighten upthe defense. That's onething we pride ourselvesin. We've just got to keepworking. It's a matter ofconcentration. We've gotto go back to total concen-tration."The Cubs capitalized on

two errors to tie the score.Third baseman WilsonValdez misplayed DarwinBarney's potential double-play ball with no outs inthe sixth, leading to Al-fonso Soriano's sacrificefly and Starlin Castro'sRBI single.Jay Bruce dropped Luis

Valbuena's fly ball nearthe right-field warningtrack with one out in theeighth inning, allowingDavid DeJesus to go fromfirst to third. DeJesusscored on Soriano'sgroundout.

halved the first and sev-enth holes with threeputts.

“But, I have to say,”Flinn said. “These greenswere perfect. They are thebest I have ever seenthem.”Brandewie held Flinn

off by halving the ninthand 10th holes, beforeFlinn won the 11th and12th holes to end thematch.“You bet I do (feel good

about making the finals),”Brandewie said. “But, it isas it should be.“Marla’s the best out

here. And I can’t think ofanyone I would rather loseto.”Flinn had advanced to

the finals with a 6-and-5

Gene Bayman’s nameon it, that is pretty spe-cial,” Eakin said.And he knew the win

would not come easyagainst Arp.“I couldn’t play last year

because I screwed myback up,” Eakin said.“Andy (Arp) is a greatplayer.“We play a lot of golf to-

gether, so we were bothlooking forward to this.”Arp tipped his hat to

Eakin.“I had a good tourna-

ment,” Arp said. “I playedreally well yesterday (inthe semifinals). I thoughtI played pretty well today,but Doug just played bet-ter.”And it is not hard to

find the pivotal swing inthe match.Eakin, who was four-

under par in the afternoonround, won four of thefirst six holes after thelunch break, turning a 1-up lead after 18 into a 5-up advantage.“Definitely, Eakin said.

“That was pretty goodstretch.”It started on the 309-

yard first hole, whenEakin was able to hit itclose after driving in thetrees and made birdie.Arp lipped out a par

putt on two that wouldhave halved the hole,Eakin made a short putfor birdie on the 368-yard

fourth hole and won thesixth hole with a par.“I made a couple

birdies,” Eakin said. “AndAndy helped me out onthe second hole. But, Iknew I was going to stillmake some more birdies.”On the 225-yard, par-3

seventh hole, Eakin hitfirst and was 15-feet pastthe hole whenArp steppedup and dropped a hybrid3-feet from the hole for abirdie to get the deficitdown to four.“I thought I had hit a

pretty good shot,” Eakinsaid. “Andy just hit a greatshot there.”The match stayed that

way until the 28th hole(the par-4 10th).Both players had six-

foot birdie putts. AfterEakin missed his, Arpcashed in to get withinthree.“I knew I was going to

have to make my putt,”Eakin said. “But, I wasable to come back and geta couple of birdies.”Eakin birdied the 423-

yard, par-4 12th to go 4-up, but Arp came rightback with a birdie on the433-yard par-4 13th to getback to 3-down.“I had some chances to

come back,” Arp said. “Ijust wasn’t able to do it.”On the 210-yard, par-3

14th hole, Arp’s tee shotfound the bunker. Eakinhit a 5-iron to five-feet to

go 4-up and make thematch dormie.“Coming off his birdie

on 13, that felt reallygood,” Eakin said. “I knewthe 15th hole would be atough one to birdie.”Eakin hit his drive on

the 436-yard, par-4 in themiddle of the fairway,while Arp found a fairwaybunker.Needing just to halve

the hole end the match,Eakin hit a 7-iron to 10-feet.Arp hit the green from

the bunker, but ran hisbirdie putt past the hole.Eakin lagged his birdieputt close to the hole andArp conceded his put andthe match.“Especially after Andy

(Arp) went in the fairwaybunker, I figured parwould be good enough,”Eakin said. “I played re-ally well today.”Eakin had advanced to

the final with a 3-and-2win over Keith McGillvaryin Saturday’s semifinals,while Arp defeated TomChristy 6-and-4.And Eakin said he

won’t soon forget his finaliron shot.“Knowing I had a

chance win it there (on15), that 7-iron felt aboutas good as anything,”Eakin said.And put his name

among the likes of somepast PCC greats.

Trent Tobias finds running room against Versailles Friday night.BEN ROBINSON/GOBBUCS.COM PHOTO

BY BEN ROBINSONGoBuccs.com

COVINGTON — It wasa case of "The Good, TheBad and The Ugly" for theCovington Buccaneers onFriday in the final scrim-mage against Versailles —but not necessarily inthat order.First, "The Ugly" was

the scoreboard at halftimeas Versailles thoroughlydominated a first half enroute to a 26-0 halftimeadvantage."Versailles came in with

some fire and we didn't,"said a very displeasedCovington coach, DaveMiller. "How you can comein not ready to playagainst a team like Ver-sailles is beyond me. I justdon't get it."Second, "The Bad".Covington didn't exe-

cute on either side of theball in the first half otherthan one drive that wasstalled inside the Ver-sailles ten due to apenalty and a mishandledpitch.Meanwhile, Versailles

moved the ball virtually atwill, killing Covington onthe outside with runningplays and through the air.Missed tackles by Cov-

ington were also a bene-factor to the Tigeroffensive onslaught."The first half couldn't

have went any worse forus," Miller said. "It was alack of effort, a lack of dis-cipline and a lack of lead-ership across the board."And Miller had an idea

his team was in for a rudeawakening prior to thegame."Maybe we were too full

of ourselves because of theway we played againstMilton and Eaton, but forwhatever reason we wereflat in practice at timesthis week and it carriedover to tonight," continuedMiller. "We looked slug-gish in pre-game and did-n't have any fire at all."Which led to stunned

faces at the half while theBuccs leaned up againstthe fence waiting on coachMiller's halftime speech.And whatever Miller

said at the half hit homeas Covington looked like atotally different team inthe third and final quarterof the varsity portion ofthe scrimmage.Which brings us to "The

Good"."The good thing that we

can take away from thisscrimmage is we re-sponded to the adversitythere in the second half,"Miller said. "We came outwith more intensity, moreeffort and executed muchbetter. That's somethingwe can build on."Covington took the first

possession of the thirdquarter and methodicallymarched down the field tocut the margin to 26-7 ona short touchdown run byJustin Williams.A few played later

Trent Tobias picked off aTiger pass and returnedit into the Versailles sideof the field, which resultedin a touchdown run byBobby Alexander fromeight yards out.The Covington defense

then held Versailles to athree-and-out to give theball back to the Buccaneeroffense at its own 30.Eight plays later the

Buccs hit pay dirt as KylerDeeter scooted aroundright end from 25 yardsaway to make the score26-21with just 20 secondleft in the varsity scrim-mage.From there, Versailles

ran two running plays tokill the clock and pre-serve the victory for thevisiting Tigers."I don't care about the

score in a scrimmage be-cause we are always try-

ing different things in dif-ferent situations, but theone thing we look at was-n't there on a consistentbasis," said Miller. "Andthat's effort. We didn'tgive a consistent effort, sowe can't come away feel-ing good about ourselves."Still, it gives Covington

something it can utilize inthe final week of practicebefore opening with NewBremen at home next Fri-day."Oh yes, we have a ways

to go," Miller agreed. "Wehave some really goodfilm showing howmediocre we can be andhow great we can be.“Hopefully the kids do

some sole searching andrespond to this, becausewhat they will see on filmfrom the first half won't begood.“Hopefully we respond

from this."And Miller will be look-

ing to his seniors to leadthe way."It comes down to our

leadership," he concluded."Will the seniors acceptbeing mediocre or do theywant to be great? Hope-fully they want to begreat."If not, Buccaneer fans

will see a season of "TheGood, The Bad and TheUgly" for the black andwhite — and not necessar-ily in that order.

Hogston Fights Off Defender

BROOKLYN, Mich.(AP) — Jimmie Johnsonlooked as if he had alreadyfinished the hardest work.After starting at the backof the pack, he had movedup quickly, and when hepassed Brad Keselowskifor the lead on lap 191 of200, his No. 48 Chevroletseemed to be the superiorcar.Then Johnson's engine

faltered with only six lapsremaining. He lost therace — and the NASCARSprint Cup points lead —to Greg Biffle on Sunday."I got it turned around

and was catching him, andthen his engine failed,"Biffle said. "It was going tobe a great race, no matterwhat. I felt like I couldcatch him, but we'll neverknow. Passing him mighthave been a differentstory."Biffle won the race at

Michigan InternationalSpeedway, taking advan-tage when Johnson leftthe track because of en-gine trouble. Johnsonstarted the race from theback because of an enginechange, and he couldn'thold on at the end. He fin-ished 27th.After Johnson's mishap,

there was a caution for oilon the track. Biffle held offKeselowski by 0.416 sec-onds in the green-white-checkered finish.Biffle took over the

points lead, while Johnsondropped from first tofourth. Matt Kensethmoved up a spot to seconddespite a 17th-place show-ing."I know that a lot of

people don't expect us towin the championship,and don't expect us tocompete for the title," Bif-fle said. "I don't care what

they say or who they wantto talk about, but we willbe a factor when it comesdown to Homestead. Ipromise you that."Kasey Kahne finished

third in the 400-mile race,followed by Dale Earn-hardt Jr. and Marcos Am-brose.It was the 12th victory

for Roush Fenway Racingat MIS, breaking a tiewith the Wood Brothersfor the most wins at thetrack.Pole sitter Mark Martin

was sailing along in thelead for most of the first65 laps before his raceended in scary fashion.Bobby Labonte went intoa spin while Martin wascoming up from behind,and Martin went slidingoff toward pit road. Hiscar crashed frighteninglyinto the end of a short,narrow barrier on the in-terior side of pit road.The side of Martin's car

was essentially impaledby the end of the wall, justin front of the left rear tireand dangerously close tothe driver's seat. But inthe smoky scene that fol-lowed, Martin was able toget out and walk away."I really feel that was a

freak accident. I'm notsure you can ever com-pletely fix something likethat," Martin said. "Thatwas a pretty freak anglethat I got it. I'm not surewhat you can do. It couldhave been really bad if Iwould have got into thathole a little deeper whereit would have caught mein the door instead of thecrush area back there."Johnson started from

the back, and so did Earn-hardt, who was using abackup car after a mishapin practice Saturday.

CHERRY HILLS VIL-LAGE, Colo. (AP) —Steven Fox made an 18-foot birdie putt on the37th hole Sunday, com-pleting a remarkable un-derdog run to win the U.S.Amateur at Cherry Hills.The 21-year-old Fox,

from Hendersonville,Tenn., was 2-down withtwo holes to play againstMichaelWeaver of Fresno,Calif., before rallying toforce the extra hole."This is unreal. This

whole week is like a

dream to me," Fox said.Both players earned

spots in the U.S. Opennext year, and will likelyreceive invitations to theMasters — both if stillamateurs.Weaver, a 21-year-old

redshirt junior at the Uni-versity of California, hadstayed in front most of theday and when he rattledin a 12-foot birdie putt onthe 34th hole, he went 2-up, forcing Fox to win eachof the remaining holes tostay alive."Once he made that,

you know, I thought it wasover," Fox said. "I thoughtit was his day. But I just

kind of played my hardestto see where it went ... andthen it kind of switched."A senior at Tennessee-

Chattanooga, Fox madean 11-foot birdie putt towin the 35th hole.Still with a 1-up advan-

tage, Weaver needed onlyto make a 5-foot par putton the 36th hole at the18th green to secure thewin, but it lipped out, ex-tending the championshipround to a 37th hole."I thought I made my

putt," said Weaver, whohad been in the lead sincethe fifth hole before beingheaded at the end. "I kindof looked away, and I

thought it went in, but itdidn't.“That's golf, but just to

see it slip through my fin-gers, it (stinks). And Iknow I had a great weekand all that, but I'm notthinking about that rightnow."The miss on the short

putt stunned Fox as well."It was like dead center

from my angle, and whenI saw it bounce out, I kindof gasped a little bit," Foxsaid. "I think I put myhand over my mouth. Iwas shocked.“And quickly I had to

gather myself and go tothe playoff."
