POMEROY - The flag at the Meigs County Courthouse in Pomeroy is flying half-staff in tribute to the 25 coal miners who lost their lives or were seriously injured Monday at the Upper Big Brunch Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va. The flag was lowered following the order of Fred W. Crow Ill, judge of the Meigs County Commen Pleas Court. It reads: "Meigs County has been a coal mining community for years. All Meigs County citizens feel the horrific loss and we wish to express our solidarity with sympathy for the affected f~milies. "Our own Meigs County citizens have personally suffered the loss of lives. We wish to express our thoughts and prayers in this time of sadness and grief. "To show our support for the Napper family and their friends, we, the citizens of Meigs County, should pause for a moment of silent prayer this evening and bum our porch light all night in memory of the lost coal miners." Joshua Napper, 25, son of Scott and Pam Napper of Salem Center, was killed in the explosion at the mine, as were his uncle Timmy Davis. Sr., 51. and a cousin. Cory Davis, 20. Napper was a 2002 graduate of Meigs High School and went on to Hocking College in Nelsonville, graduating from there with an LPN degree. He was employed at the Hickory Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on The Plains until a few months ago when he left to pursue a career in the coal mining industry. Napper was described by his cousin Timmy Davis. Jr., as a hulking man with a simple claim to fame: He could bench press more than 500 pounds. "If there was any way he could, he could have moved half that mountain," said Davis, whose father Timmy. Sr., died in the disaster. 'That's about all he did was lift weights." Please see Min~rs.

W.Va. - Gov. Joe Manchin four years ago delivered what seemed to be miraculous news: a dozen miners had survived an explosion at the Sago mine- only to then have to tell devastated families that all but one were dead. Those who watched the tragedy unfold on the national news were dumbfounded: How could the governor so carelessly lift spirits without knowing for certain the miners' fate? As the worst U.S. mining disaster in two decades unfolds this week, Manchin has been a cautious and calm presence, vowing to communicate with families with compassion and frequently even if he doesn't have much new to tell them. The explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine killed 25 and four others remain missing; rescuers have been laboring for the past two days to try to reach them while also battling poisonous gases that bottle up underground. The shadow of the 2006 Sago mine disaster has hung over the explosion · at Upper Big Branch. Manchin has kept a high profile, delivering regular briefings to the media. and updating families in person every two hours. He's been measured in tone and in the news he delivers. The cautiousness is a change from Sago. but in some ways Manchin is playing the same role: comforter-in-chief to a state whose identity is so linked with coal that a statue of a miner graces the grounds of the Capitol. At Sago, Manchin heard along with relatives the wildfire rumor that all but one of the 13 miners had survived, and then joined in their celebration and helped to relay the bogus information that only made the heartache worse when reality set in. "It was the euphoria of the moment." Manchin recalled later. "The (church) bells were going off, everybody was hugging and kissing. We'd been together for two days, and to get news like this ... " This time, miners' fami- lies have been largely sequestered from the media on the site. unlike at Sago, where the two groups mingled. Information comes from Manchin. or from one of the ofticials by his side. at frequent briefings. Manchin has also changed. While people cling to the hope that their loved ones are among the four who haven't been found dead. the governor serving his second term has tempered that optimism with frank talk about the enormity of the blast. "You're always hoping for that miracle." he said, his voice trailing off after adding. ''but when you have an explosion of this magnitude ... " His public gaffe is seared in the memories of people who live outside of West Virginia, but his constituents didn't hold it against him. Manchin-as-empathi zer may be the image that lingers longest in the minds of West Virginians, who returned him to office in 2008 with the largest share of the vote by any gubernatorial candidate at least in modem times. "Despite the terrible tragedy of mistaken information at Sago, in the end it was positive for Manchin because of his direct attempts to deal with it,'' said Robert Rupp, a political science professor at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Sago families said in 2006 they didn't bJame Manchin for sharing their mistaken jubilation. and John Groves. whose brother Jerry died at that mine, understands why the governor has taken a more measured tone this time. "This brings everything back to if Sago just happened. all the anger and sadness all over again,'' Groves said. For Manchin. mining tragedies are personal. In I 96~. his. uncle was among 77 miners killed in a blast at a mine in the governor's Farmington hometown. " ''I've been on both sides of the table," he told The Associated Press.

Toyota official: 'We need to come c~ean' WASHINGTON (AP) Five days before Toyota announced a massive recall, a U.S. public relations executive at the automaker warned colleagues in an internal e-mail: "We need to come clean" about accelerator problems, according to documents obtained by The Press on Associated Wednesday. "We are not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet;• wrote Irv Miller, group vice president for environment and public affairs. "The time to hide on this one is over." The recently retired Miller wrote the e-mail on Jan. 16, 2010, as Toyota officials were on their way to Washington to discuss the problems with federal regulators. On Jan. 21, Toyota announced it would recall 2.3 million vehicles to address sticking pedals in six vehicle models. The e-mail reveals deep concerns within the company's leadership that Toyota wasn't dealing with the safety: problems effectively and could damage the automaker's sterling reputation for producing safe and reliable vehicles. The company already had announced a recall of more than 4 million vehicles in late September 2009 to replace gas pedals that could get stuck in floor mats and cause sudden acceleration. "We better just hope that they can get NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to work with us in coming (up) with a workable solution that does not put us out of business," Miller wrote. The e-mail was addressed to Katsuhiko Koganei, executive coordinator for corporate communications for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.lnc. ''I hate to break this to you but WE HAVE A tendency for MECHANICAL failure in accelerator pedals of a · certain manufacturer on certain models,'' Miller's email began with several words in capital letters. In a memo earlier that day, Koganei wrote Mike Michels, vice president of external communications, "Now I talked with you on the phone. we should not mention about the mechanical failures of ace. pedal because we have not clarified the real cause of the sticking ace pedal formally, and the remedy for the matter has not been confirmed." Koganei further wrote that Toyota executives were concerned that news of the mechanical failures "might raise another uneasiness of customers." The subject line said the e-mail was in regard to a draft statement to respond to an ABC News story. Toyota, in a statement. said it "does not comment on internal company communications" and declined comment on Miller's e-mail. But the automaker said: ··we have publicly acknowledged on several occasions that the company did a poor job of communicating during the period preceding our recent • recalls.'' "We have subsequently taken a number of important steps to improve our communications with regulators and customers on safetyrelated matters to ensure that this does not happen again," Toyota said, adding that it appointed a chief quality officer for North America and a greater role in the region for making safety-related decisions. Miller, reached by phone at his home in Los Angeles. said he had no comment. His retirement was announced by Toyota on Dec. 16 and his retirement was effective Feb. l. The Transportation Department has assessed a record $16.4 million fine on Toyota for failing to alert the U.S. government to the safety problems about the sticking accelerator pedals quickly enough. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Tuesday that Toyota made a ''huge mistake" by not disclosing the safety problems sooner. Concerns about sticking gas pedals and complaints from Toyota owners in the U.S. were rising at the end of 2009. according to documents obtained by the AP. The documents show that on Sept. 29, Toyota's European division issued technical information "identifying production improvement and repair procedure to address complaints by customers in those countries of sticking accelerator pedals. sudden rpm increase and/or sudden vehicle acceleration.'' Distributors throughout Europe and in Russia, Georgia. Kazakhstan, Turkey and Israel received the technical information. In mid-January. Toyota held internal meetings "to discuss status of production changes and to prepare for meetings with NHTSA" on Jan. 19, according to the timeline. Two days later. Toyota announced it would reca11 2.3 million vehicles to address the sticking pedals. The documents obtained by the AP were among 70,000 pages of papers turned over to government investigators. Toyota has recalled more than 6 million vehicles in the U.S. and a total of more than 8 million worldwide because of acceleration problems in multiple models and braking issues in the Prius hybrid. Ttle Japanese automaker was still weighing its options Wednesday about whether to accept or contest the fine. It has also been n~med in J38 potential class-action lawsuits over falling vehicle values and nearly 100 personal injury and wrongful death cases in federal courts. "It\ hard. It's a day·today thing. I'm just praying right now,'' he said. Lynch said he has been working in the mines for more than 10 years an~ understands the ri:;k. "People walking do~ the street can get hurt." he said. "I don't know what else I would do - work for company? a utility Railroad? Other than that, I'd only find a mediocre job making less money." Lynch said he wasn't mad at Massey Energy Co., which owns the Upper Big Branch mine where the blast occurred. "There's no reason to be mad at Massey in particular,'' he said. "There's not a coal mine in the world that you can go to and not find something wrong. It's the nature of the business and it's up to the men to make it safer." Philippines (AP) _..:. Researchers have concluded that a giant, golden-spotted monitor lizard discovered in the forested mountains of the Philippines six years ago is a new species, according to a study released Wednesday. The 6.5-foot-long lizard was first spotted in 2004 in the Sie1Ta Madre mountains on the main island of Luzon when local researchers saw local Agta tribesmen carrying one of the dead reptiles. But it took until last year to determine it was a new species. After capturing an adult. researchers from the Universit} of Kansas and the National Museum of the Philippines obtained DNA samples that helped contirm the lizard was new to science. The Northern Sierra Madre Forest Monitor Lizard or Varanus bitatawa feasts on fruits and snails rather than carcasses. unlike manv monitors, including its larger relative, the Komodo dragon, according to American and Filipino researchers who wrote about the discovery in Wednesday's peer-reviewed Royal Society journal Biology Letters. It spends much of its time in the tree.: tops and has unique claws that allow it to reach its favorite fruits. ''1 knew as soon as I sa\v the animal that it was something special," Luke Welton, a graduate student at the University of Kansas and one of the co-authors. of t. study. said in a statement. It is not that unusual to find a new species of tiny fish. frog or insect these days. But Welton and his colleagues said it was a ··rare occurrence" to discover such a large vertebrate, particular!) on an island hit by deforestation and nearby developmenr. They compared their find to the 1993 discovery of the forest-dwelling Saola ox in Vietnam and a new monkey species discovered in the highlands of Tanzania in 2006. "The discovery of such a large, charismatic. and strikingly distinct new species of vertebrate in the unexplored forests of the northern Philippines accentuates the degree to which the diversity of this global conservation hotspot is still poor' knovm." Mundita Lim, chi of the country's Deprutmen of Environment and Natur Resources Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau. said in a statement. Eric R. Pianka. a lizard expert at the Universit) of Texas at Austin, said in an e-mail interview that it was an "incredible find." 'Thb is truly a spectacular discovery," Pianka said. "Worldwide. there are about 60-plus species of monitor lizards. In all probability. some as yet undescribed species will be found on various islands in Indonesia." he saiO. Developing test to warn smokers of cancer danger B Y L AURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Scientists may have found a way to tell which smokers are at highest risk of developing lung cancer: measuring a telltale genetic change inside their windpipes. A test based on the research is being developed in hopes of detecting this deadly cancer earlier, when it's more treatable. And if the work pans out, the next big question is: Might it even be possible to reverse this genetic chain reaction before it ends in full-blown cancer? The researchers found a tantahzing early hint among a handful of people given an experimental drug. "They're heading toward lung cancer, and we can identify them with this genomic test," said Dr. Avrum Spira of Boston University School of Medicine, who led the research published Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Lung cancer - which 160,000 killed nearly Americans last year - is the leading cancer killer, and cigarette smoke is by far its main cause. Yet, not all smokers develop lung cancer; Spira cites estimates that 10 to 20 percent will. The risk depends in part on how much people smoke, for how long and how long ago they quit - but there's no way to predict who will escape it and who will not. Nor is there a good way to detect early-stage tumors. Consequently. most people are diagnosed too late for today's treatments to do much good. ''Even for people who have stopped smoking, there's a significant risk of cancer down the road, and it would ·be nice to identify which patients are really at risk," said Duke University lung cancer specialist Dr. Neal Ready, who wasn't involved in the new research but called it intriguing. "To have some sort of molecular test that would identify those patients would be very useful," he added, because they could receive close monitoring with lung scans that aren't practical for everybody. Rather than focusing on the lung itself, Spira's team took a different approach. Smoking bathes the entire respiratory tract in toxins. So he hunted for the earliest signs of impending lung cancer upstream, in how different genes are turned on and off inside the uppey airway as the body tries to defend itself and those defenses weaken over time. At least I00,000 smokers or former smokers a year have a tube snaked down their throat to look for signs of cancer if an X-ray or other test detects something suspicious, Spira explained. Bronchoscopies can be used for a look down into the lung. but Spira was interested instead in cells that line the windpipe, collected during the same procedure. Sure enough. he found a genomic signature - a pattern of gene activity in otherwise normal windpipes that distinguished some current or former smokers who had lung cancer from those who didn't. Then with Dr. Andrea Bild of the University of Utah, Spira analyzed cells from J29 current and former smokers and found the genes involved were part of a well-known cancer-causing pathway named the PI3K pathway. When PI3Krelated genes are too active. too much cell growth can occur, but most studies have examined those genes only in tumors. On Wednesday, Spira reported finding PJ3K activation in some current or former smokers with precancerous lesions, too, but not in those with other lung diseases. Spira cannot estimate how much lung cancer might come from this genetic pathway. Nor does the work mean it's OK for people , without this marker to keep puffing. Other lung cancer pathways could be at work. and smoking also causes heart attacks, other lung diseases and other cancers. But a company Spira helped found, Allegro Diagnostics Inc., is beginning a study of up to 800 current and fom1er smokers who need a bronchoscopy anyway to see how well a test based on the research performs. Moreover. there are some experimental drugs being designed to fight PBK activation. One compound already had been tested in nine smokers with precancerous lesions. six of whom had their lesions improve. Spira's team went back and checked those study participants· previously stored airway cell~ - and found those who had responded to the compound indeed had their PI3K activity drop. a preliminary but exciting clue in the quest to dcvclpp cancer-preventing drugs. •Free for 3 Mon1hs -15 Movie Channels Including. *Lowest All-Digital Price Nationwide! • The MOST HD Available!

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, April 8, the 98th day of 2010. There are 267 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, breaking Babe Ruth's record. On this date: In 1513, explorer Juan Ponce de Leon and his expedition began exploring the Florida coastline. In 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for direct popular election of United States senators (as opposed to appoi tment by state legislatures), was ratified. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which provided mo'ney for programs such as the Works Progress Administration. In 1946, the League of Nations assembled in Geneva for its final session. In 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the steel Industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped his authority.) In 1970, the Senate rejected President Richard M. Nixon's nomination of G. Harold Carswell to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1973, artist Pablo Picasso died at his home near Mougins, France, at age 91 . . In 1988, TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart resigned from the Assemblies of God after he was defrocked for rejecting an order from the church's national leaders to stop· preaching for a year amid reports he'd consorted with a prostitute. In 1990, Ryan White, the teenage AIDS patient whose battle for acceptance gained national attention, died in Indianapolis at age 18. In 1994, Kurt Cobain, singer and guitarist for the grunge band Nirvana, was found dead in Seattle from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound; he was 27. Ten years ago: The Central Intelligence Agency confirmed that personnel action had been taken following the mistaken bombing of the Chinese embassy during the NATO war against Yugoslavia; one employee was reportedly fired. Oscar-winning actress ·Claire Trevor died in Newport Beach, Calif. at age 90. Five years ago: With presidents and kings looking on, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims in St. Peter's Square sang, applauded and chanted for the Catholic Church to declare John Paul II a saint as the pope was laid to rest. One year ago: Somali pirates hijacked the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama; although the crew was able to retake the cargo ship, the captain was taken captive by the raiders and held aboard a lifeboat. {Richard Phillips was rescued five days later by Navy SEAL snipers who shot three of the pirates dead.) A Russian spacecraft carrying a crew of three, including U.S. billionaire space tourist Charles Simonyi, landed safely in Kazakhstan.

BY MIKE BAKER AND MITCH WEISS AssociATED PREss aroun<~· Some of the appeals center minor. common infractions: Performance Coal Company, the Massey subsidiary that runs Upper Big Branch, continues to dispute a $305 fine for excessive accumulation of combustible materials in January 2007. Others, however, are more serious: The largest fines Performance Coal have faced there came this January, when federal officials filed t\vo penalties totaling more than $136.000 for not developing or following a proper ventilation plan. It's clear that companies are focusing their appeals on the costlier fines. In 2009. companies protested roughly two-thirds of the S 141 million in penalties assessed by federal regulators. A backlog of some 82.000 violations and $210 million in contested penalties is pending before a review commission. Appeals can drag on for years. AP's analysis showed that 36 percent the more than 500 violations faced Performance Coal in 2007 remain dispute. The most serious offenses are deemed "significant and substantial" violations. Regulators consider the mine's history of those violations to determine whether it has a pattern of problems. If the operator can't reduce the number of violations. then MSHA can require the withdrawal of all miners from an area where significant violations have been cited. Roughly 38 percent of Performance Coal's violations in the past three years have been labeled "significant and substantial." The company has .prQtested two-thirds of them. Dennis O'Dell. health and safety director for the United Mine Workers labot union. said while one problem may get fixed the companies are still able to repeat the lapse later without any recourse for safety officials to fix the trend. As a bonus. after years of appeals. mining firms are winning average reductions of 4 7 percent from the review process. he said.

The disaster has brought new scrutiny for mine owner Massey Energy Co .. which has been repeatedly cited for problems with the system that ventilates explosive methane gas and for allowing combustible dust to build up. The federal mine agency on Wednesday appointed a special team of investigators to look into the blast, which officials said may have been caused by a buildup of rrfethane.

AMP from Page Al Auction from P~ge At Johnson owned a Pomeranian which was fatally injured in her yard by two Boxers and later dieq at a local veternarian 's office. Johnson said she wanted to clear up the fact that Racine does have a leash law and she was abiding by it when her dog was attacked. Johnson said Racine's ordinance says dogs do not have to be on a leash if on the owner's property but once that dog steps off the property it must be on a leash of some kind. hnson also said contrary to what has been said. she r fed the two dogs that attacked her dog. Johnson she found the two dogs who attacked her dog run• ning loose once and put them back in their kennel. ~ohnson also took issue with any inference it was her fault her dog was killed when she was abiding by Racine's current leash law and her dog was on her property at the time of the attack. Also during the discussion, commissioners said the county does not have a county-wide leash law but have the authority to do so. At this time, Meigs County Dog Warden Tom Proffitt said the county goes by state law when enforcing leash violations.

The quality and quantity of coal produced at Upper Big Branch make the mine one of gems of Massey's operation. The mine produced more than 1.2 million tons of coal last year and uses the lowest-cost underground mining method, making it more profitable. The mine produces metallurgical coal that is used to make steel and sells for up to $200 a ton - more than double the price for the type of coal used by power plants. • The confirmed death toll of 25 the highest in a U.S. mine since 1984. when 27 people died in a fire at a mine in Orangeville.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A judge on Wednesday cleared the way for ex-Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett to move to a smaller detention facility in Columbus, which could lead to his release within a few months. Asked by Pranklin County Common Pleas Judge David Fais if he had anything to say, CJarett cleared his throat and said, ''I'd like to say I'm humbled." Clarett, who Jed the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship in his only college season, served 3 · 1/2 years in prison for aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. Fais said Clarett, 26. had met terms of his original sentencing when he pleaded guilty m September 2006 and permitted the move to Mary haven. a communitybased correction facility. "He's very grateful he's been released." said his attorney. Michael Hoague. "Still, he s incarcerated, so it's a blend of emotions.'' Officials at the facility will evaluate Clarett's employment, education and family considerations. He will be there at least 4 months but no more than 6 months before being released, pending good behavior. Pais said. Clarett said he also had realized that he wants to become a good father to his daughter, who Jives in Youngstown, Ohio, with her mother. His mother. Michelle Clarett, sat a few feet away from her son. along with other family members and friends. Upon leaving the courtroom she said she was ''still digesting" the decision but added that she was pleased it was another step toward her son's release. Prosecutors did not argue against Clarett :s move to the facility. ''He did have a good prison record,'' Franklin Count) Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said Tuesday night. Hoague said Maryhaven was a step between a county jail and a prison. with donrutory-style living and numer- ous programs to prepare inmates for the outside world. He said during the latter stages of a person's confinement. they can be released to go to work each day. Hoague said Clarett had taken classes on ~eriatrics and gerontolo~y whtle in prison and hoped to work with older adults. Fais asked him \Vhat he had learned about himself during his time behind bars and Clarett said he had discovered that he lacked character when he was younger. Clarett pleaded guiltY in September 2006 to having a oun hidden in his SUV and holding up two people outside a Columbus bar in a separate case. He was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison with possible release in 3 112 years. He never played another college game after scoring the winmng touchdown in Ohio State's 31-24 double-overtime win over Miami in the 2003 Fiesta BowL the Buckeyes' first national title since 1968. · He was declared ineligible after that season for receiving extra benefits that were brought to light after he filed a false theft report about a car break-in. While he was ineligible. Clarett sued the NFL in September 2003 to be permitted to enter the league s draft. The NFL requires all athlet~ e\ to be out of hightschool for least three years before enter ing the draft. After an initial court victory, Clarett lost after the NFL appealed. Clarett was charged with aggravated robbery on Jan. 1, 2006. after police said he flashed a gun at people outside a bar and rubbed them of a cell phone. Before his trial on those charges, Clarett was arrested on Aug. 9. 2006, after police chased him \\hen they said he failed to stop him for a traffic violation. Clarett has been taking college-credit courses in the Toledo prison. where he was confined to a single cell but was not isolated from other inmates. He was able to exercise and eat with other inmates. BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@ MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM four runs. Stranahan. Titus RusselL Jason Stouffer. Clay Krebs, and Stranahan each had one hit.

(AP) - Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said the tragic death of a standout high school football player who fell from fifth-floor hotel balcony should cause people to think about what students do on spring break. "I think a lot of people are going to sit back and take real stock on what is the role of spring break? What is that all about?" Kelly said after Notre Dame held practice Wednesday afternoon. "I think we could probably have a sociology lesson for hours about that and probably still come back to the same place and that is, a tragic accident." Matt James, who was scheduled to enroll at Notre Dame in June, died Friday in Panama City Beach, Fla. Police said the 17-year-old offensive lineman was drunk and acting belligerent when he fell as he leaned over •a railing to shake his finger at people in an adjoining room. Pohce said James was in Panama City Beach with six adults and 40 fellow students. The 6-foot-8, 290-pound offensive lineman committed to Notre Dame on signing day last February, the first big recruitin~ victory for Kelly since bemg named coach in December. Wednesday was the first time Kelly talked with the media in South Bend about the death of James. "I think we could all sit down and talk about what we could have done," Kelly said. "Sometimes it's just being in the wrong place at the wrong time." Kelly will fly with five assistant coaches and tight end Kyle Rudolph after practice Friday afternoon to attend the visitation and prayer service at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, where James was a student. "We think it's important we be able to see the family face to face," Kelly said. "Obviously Matt did not play here but he will always be part of the Notre Dame family. We want to make sure that message is clear." Kelly described James as a "big, old teddy bear." "He really had a dry sense of humor," Kelly said. "He wanted to make a difference. He wanted to standout." Rudolph had known James since the fourth grade. Although Rudolph was two years older. James played on the same team because he had to play against older players because of his size. Rudolph said the death of James shocked the team. "You really can't describe it when someone that young goes. It's awful." Rudolph said. "Everybody on the team feels like we lost a brother.'' Kelly said the team held a Mass on Tuesday night for James. "I think it was good closure for some of our players. I think everybody asks the question, 'Why?' Mass was really to kind of try to answer some of those questions,'' he said. Kelly said the school is talking about possibly doing something to commemorate James' life, but was not at a point he could tall< about it. Southern with two hits, followed by Strang, Maggie Cummins.

Ohio State's Evan Tumcr is skipping his senior season to test himself in the NBA. The 6-foot-7 point guard is expected to be a top-three ptck in the June 24 draft. Yet he said his decision wasn't an easy one. ''This is the toughest thing I had to do," he said. his voice breaking. ''But I was blessed with this decision and I have a great opportunity. I'm going. to tum a leaf over and go on to the next stage of my life." The Chicago native averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6 assists \Vhile shooting 52 percent from the field, 36.4 percent behind the arc and 76 percent at the line. Turner was moved to point guard before the season. a decision by coach Thad Matta that raised some eyebrows because Turner had never played the position and had been prone to making mistakes with the ball. But with Tumer leading the way the Buckeyes went a surprising 29-8 (second-most wins in school history): won a share of the Big Ten title; took the conference tournament championship: and advanced to the NCAA tournament round of 16 before falling to Tennessee. Even Matta said he knew it was time for Turner to make the leap to the next level. "I told him up front. I'm OK if you go," he said. "I said, ·coach Matta wants you back. but Thad Matta is OK if you go.' (It's) knowing what's right for him." Turner said it wasn't until late in the season that his mind' wandered to his decision. ·'February hit and I kind of started thinking a little bit about it," he said. "I was in a win-win situation. I felt like if I would have come back we could have done big things, and also moving on and going to the NBA I could do good things. I had to look at what was going to make me happy" A first-team All-American. Turnt:r had a hu!!e year despite missing 4 112 weeks with broken bones in his back. He was injured while dunking during a game on Dec. 5. and had to go through extensive rehab before returning. The Buckeyes were just 3-3 without him. He said the injury had little effect on his decision. "You can't really tell what's going to go on with fate," Turner said. "I tried to make the decision as a grown man looking toward the future." . Turner has not hired an agent, but made it clear he is not waffling. "I felt that whatever r did, I had to have two feet in." he said. "I had to be committed . This is the decision I'm committed (to)." Before the injury. he had triple-doubles in two of the Track fromPageBl dash). Whitney Putman (discus), and the 4x800m relay team. Second place for Meigs were Hoffman (200m dash), Olivia Bevan (3200m), Olivia Cleek (high jump). Patterson (long jump), the 4x200m relay team, and the 4x400m relay team. South Gallia second place finishers were Rachel Stapleton (400m dash and 800m run) and Savanna Hatfield (shot put). For Southern, Brittany Cogar (lOOm dash). McCoy (1600m run), and the 4x I OOm relay team finished second. Third place finishers were (Eastern) Niki Gilbride (1600m run). Putnam (discus), Beverly Maxson (long jump). and Perdas (shot put); (Meigs) George (lOOm hurdles), Emma Perrin (800m run), Vanessa Crane (3200m run). Rachel Bauer (high jump), and the 4x800m relay team: (South Gallia) Jamie Chapman (100m and 200m dash). the 4x I OOm relay team. and the 4x400m relay team~ (Southern) Shelby Pickens (300m hurdles) and the 4x200m relay team.

Both ends of the equation came through again. Pujols drove in four runs and scored four more during an 11-6 win on Monday. one that featured four Cardinals homers - a club record for a season opener. They stayed unbeaten with a little oldfashioned small ball. Right-hander Johnn) Cueto gave up only five hits in six innings, but the Cardinals managed to lump them together. David Freese singled home a run in the second with a soft liner pver the head of sec- • ond baseman Brandon Phillips, and Ryan Ludwic~ drove in another with a single through the left side o( the infield in the third.
