DUNEDIN, Aa. (AP) Jesse Litsch pitched seven solid innings, Frank Thomas hit his first homer of the spring and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 on Wednesday night. Litsch didn't allow a hit through the fust six innings but gave up two runs in the seventh on two hits. The former Tampa Bay batboy · walked one, struck out two and hit a batter with a pitch. "I feel I am right where I am at to go out and pitch my first game of the season," he said. Litsch, the team's No. 5 starter, threw 52 of his 76 pitches for strikes and is happy his sinker is working. "I've got a lot of. confl- Buckeyes fromPageBl only 3-point attempt. He also made both free throws and had five rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot. Butler, a first-team AliBi~ Ten player averaging I 5 pomts a game, hadjust·three m the first half but did con,. tribute six assists. He joined with Koufos to lead the Buckeyes ,on a decisive spurt. Down 31-30 at. the break, the Buckeyes took the lead early in the second half and then pulled away, at first by going inside to Koufos and later by kicking passes out for 3-pointers or slashing through the lane. With Ohio State ahead 36-35, Diebler hit a 3-pointer on a pass back outside from Koufos before Koufos followed a Dayton miss with two foul shots. Butler was on ·a break when his alley-oop pass was batted up in the air by Roberts. ·Spring from Page In mer, Boeckman is a lock to be the starter. After a year in which he completed 64 percent of his passes for 25 TDs with 14 interceptions , Boeckman will be counted on to be in tune with the rest of the veterans around him on offense. "Todd Boeckman's got to make sure he and Brian Hartline and Brian Robiskie and Jake Ballard, Chris Wells- whoever he throws it to-'- that those guys really grow in understanding," Tressel said. Even though Pryor won't start, he may compete for playing time, and quickly. "His ability to adjust to the system and the speed of the game will determine where he is in the mix," Tressel said. "But I tell all the guys at every position, 'l)on ' t come in thinking you'll redshirt because if you can help this football team, let 's go."' . Wells, who rushed for 1,609 yards as a sophomore last season, will have a tough act to follow. ·He went for 222 yards and both touchdowns in a 14-3 viotory at rival Michigan which put the Buckeyes in their second con secutive BCS title game, then had 146 yards and a touchdown in dence in it now," he said. "I'm working it around the zone and bein$ able to locate . it. It•s been a b1g pitch so far.". Blue Jays catcher Gregg Zaun thought Litsch maintained his stuff through all seven innings. · · "The third time through the lineup they made some adjustments," Zaun said. 'The first hit was just a good hit and the second was just a good at-bat." When the club breaks camp, Litsch will stay behind in Aorida and pitch against minor leaguers Monday. Aaron Harang went six. innings for the Reds, allowing three runs and eight hits on 89 pitches, 61 strikes. He struck out two. ·Butler leaped high to catch it, then drove to the basket and hit a left-handed layup to push the lead to 43-35. Dayton's Wright ended a 3-minute scoring drought with two free throws before Diebler, shooting 29 percent behind the arc on the season, hit another 3 and Butler came off a pick unchallenged and hit a 3 of his own for a 49-37 lead with just under I 2 minutes left. The Flyers never got closer than nine points again. With three 3-pointers in the opening half, Roberts passed Tony Stanley's school record of 291 3pointers made. . The teams had not met since trading home-andhome games in the late 1980s. The game was played on the anniversary of Ohio State's only previous NIT championship. Dennis Hopson had 26 points and Brad Sellers 17 in the Buckeyes' 73-63 win over Wyoming in the 1986 title game. the LSU defeat. Wells is still wearing a cast from sur~ery this winter on his wrist and won't face contact for most - if ai)Y - of the !'Juckeyes' 15 workouts leadmg up to the annual spring game on April 19 at Ohio Stadium. "In the live scrimmages f or at least a couple of weeks he won't be cleared to (get hit) because you wouldn't want to risk it," Tressel said. Not everyone is a grizzled t v th h ve · 'oungsters e coac ing staff will be watching closely this spring inc;lude offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts, linebackers Etienne Sabino and Andrew Sweat, receiver Jake Stoneburner and lineman Mike Adams, all of whom are incoming freshmen already enrolled in classes. Tressel said the clash with USC in Los Angeles, pitting two of the top teams in the country this fall, would likely kick off a 5 p.m. local time or 8 p.m. in Ohio. That game is just one of · the many carrots to put in front of a team, Tressel said. ~ 'At every step there are different things that m'otivale you and inspire you. You have a whole 13 games of experiences whether it's the thrill of this win or the disappoi_ntment of that loss, the championship loss or whatever,' he said. "We've just got more things because the players have experienced all those things." DUNEDIN, Fla. (APl- . Homer Bailey is headed back to the mmors to work on that control. The Cincinnati Reds sent their former first-round draft pick to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, settling the last question about their rotation. Rightbander Josh Fogg will get the final open spot. The Reds gave the 21 year-old Bailey every opportunity to make it, even rearran~ing their. schedule to let h1m pitch on Monday night in what amounted to his last chance. When he walked six batters in less than five innings, the deci- · sion essentially was made. · "We had a nice, long con·versation," manager Dusty Baker said. '' You see how long we stuck with him. He was heavily in considera- tion. He showed vast improvement from last year to this year. ·He showed big improvement from the beginning of spring training." . The right-hander didn't make enough progress in his biggest shortcoming. He still needed too many pitches to get through innings, limiting how long he was on the mound. Iri 19 innings this spring, he walked a team-higli 16 and gave up 24 hits. He finished with a 5.21 ERA. "I told him to go down there, and when you come back I hope you're here to stay for a long, long time," Baker said. "He has the stuff to win. His future is very bright, I thiilk." Bailey came into camp h()ping to win one of the three open spotS in the rota- tion behind Aaron .Harang and Bronson Arroyo. Righthan,der Johnny Cueto and Edinson Volquez moved ahead of Bailey by pitching much better. · Although the rotation came into focus Wednesday, the bullpen and the last few spots on the bench remained open while players got readr to head north for Monday s season opener. They still had 35 healthy players in camp, 10 over the opening day limit. Four auto carriers lined up on the street outside the Reds' complex in Sarasota on Wednesday afternoon, preparing to ship players' vehicles north. A truck with team supplies and players' packages was getting ready to head for Interstate 75 north. Baker had hoped to have most of the decisions made by now, but the Reds are looking at the waiver wire and weighing various options. ' "There's a lot of tossing and mixing and matching of names," Baker said. "The names are still the same. It's a tough time right now. It's a tough time to make the club if you' re on the bubble, a tough time to make those decisions, a tough time to get a job if yo!J don't make it." · The Reds added another twist to their deliberations on Wednesday by deciding to let catcher David Ross play in .a major league game. Ross has missed most of spring training because of lower back spasms, and had been catching minor league games the past few days. • SPORTS • Xavier ends WVU's . season.

For the Record WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service and scores of its partners nationwide will open hundreds df locations on "Super Saturday," March 29, in an effort to reach those Americans who are eligible for the economic stimulus payment but who normally are not required to file an income tax return. Approximately 320 IRS offices will be open on Super Saturday to prepare the simple Form I 040A for people who are filing a return solely to receive their · stimulus payment. IRS partners such as AARP, United Way of America and dozens of others also are making special efforts on Super Saturday to reach out to those who normally are not required to file a tax return. "We don't want any Americans to miss oUI on their economic stimulus payment. For millions of Americans, filing a tax return is not routine. Their income is either to<i' low or not taxable . But this year, filing a 2007 · tax return is the 'only way to receive an economic stimulus · payment. Super Saturday is one way the IRS and its partners are working to ensure everyone eligible receives a stimulus payment," said IRS Commi~sioner Doug Shulman. ' Super S~turday, part of an extensive ouJreach effort by the IRS, is a one-day event for which Americans can plan in advance. It also highlights the need for all taxpayers to file as soon as possible to avoid the April 15 rush. Millions of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes may be eligible for a $300 payment ($600 for married couples) if they have at least $3,000 in qualifying income . .Qualifying income is defined as any. combination of earnep income such as wages, nontaxable combat .pay and certain benefits from Social Security, Veterans Affairs and Railroad Retirement. Many households also will be eligible for an additional $300 for each qualifying child younger than 17. The IRS this week is mailing 20.5 million Social Security and. Veterans Affairs recipients a Package 1040A-3 that contains all• the information they need to file a return immediately. Railroad Retirement recipients, low-income individuals and military personnel with nontaxable combat pay also can use the package if they need to fiLe solely to receive the payment. The 320 IRS offices are located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Operating hours will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., although some may be open longer. IRS employees will help prepare the Forn1 I 040A returns for low-income workers , retirees, disahled velerans and others.

For the Record WASHINGTON - The Internal Revenue Service and scores of its partners nationwide will open hundreds df locations on "Super Saturday," March 29, in an effort to reach those Americans who are eligible for the economic stimulus payment but who normally are not required to file an income tax return. Approximately 320 IRS offices will be open on Super Saturday to prepare the simple Form I 040A for people who are filing a return solely to receive their · stimulus payment. IRS partners such as AARP, United Way of America and dozens of others also are making special efforts on Super Saturday to reach out to those who normally are not required to file a tax return. "We don't want any Americans to miss oUI on their economic stimulus payment. For millions of Americans, filing a tax return is not routine. Their income is either to<i' low or not taxable . But this year, filing a 2007 · tax return is the 'only way to receive an economic stimulus · payment. Super Saturday is one way the IRS and its partners are working to ensure everyone eligible receives a stimulus payment," said IRS Commi~sioner Doug Shulman. ' Super S~turday, part of an extensive ouJreach effort by the IRS, is a one-day event for which Americans can plan in advance. It also highlights the need for all taxpayers to file as soon as possible to avoid the April 15 rush. Millions of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes may be eligible for a $300 payment ($600 for married couples) if they have at least $3,000 in qualifying income . .Qualifying income is defined as any. combination of earnep income such as wages, nontaxable combat .pay and certain benefits from Social Security, Veterans Affairs and Railroad Retirement. Many households also will be eligible for an additional $300 for each qualifying child younger than 17. The IRS this week is mailing 20.5 million Social Security and. Veterans Affairs recipients a Package 1040A-3 that contains all• the information they need to file a return immediately. Railroad Retirement recipients, low-income individuals and military personnel with nontaxable combat pay also can use the package if they need to fiLe solely to receive the payment. The 320 IRS offices are located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Operating hours will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., although some may be open longer. IRS employees will help prepare the Forn1 I 040A returns for low-income workers , retirees, disahled velerans and others. IRS field a"istancc personnel also will visit nursing homes and similar l<X:ations to prepare returns.

University to hear his thoughts on faith and academic freedom. "Every university or college is qualified by a specif1c mode of being," said Pope John Paul II, who was only 57 on that day in 1979. "Yours is the qualification ofbein"" Catholic, of affirmmg God, his .revelation and the Catholic Church as the guardian and interpreter of that revelation. The term 'Catholic' will never be a mere label, either added or dropped according to the pressures of varying factors ." It is especially crucial, he said, for theologians to realtze that they do not teach in tsolation, but are part of a body stretching from the local pews to the Vatican. Working with their bishops, theologians are charged with preserving the " unity of the faith," said John Paul, sendmg a shock wave through many Catholic schools that lingers to this day. "True ·theological scholarship, and by the same token theological training,_cannot exist and be fruitful without seeking its inspiration and Its source in the word of God as contained in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacred Tradition of the Church, as interpreted by the authentic Magisterium throughout history," said John Paul. leaders of more than 200 Catholic institutions of higher learning back to the Catholic University of America to hear another address about the state of Terry Catholic education.

This has been hailed in some American quarters as a victory for those who favor an accommodation between Taiwan and Beijing, but don't be deceived. The Kuomintang was Sun· Yat-sen 's party, which lost control of the mainland to the communists in 1949 but has maintained itself on the staunchly independent island of Taiwan ever since. Eight years ago, it lost control of the government there to the ' Democratic Progressive party, which has recently tried to reviv~ its waning popularit~ , by. taking steps m the direction of total independence from mainland China. The Nationalists, though resisting such steps, do not favor reunification with the mainland until communism is gone and it is at last ·a free society. They favor the current status quo, .under which Taiwan remains totally free while .increas- William Rusher ing its highly profitable economic relations with China. The newly elected president of the Repubhc of China on Taiwan is Ma Ying-jeou, whom 1 met and got to know · slightly when we were both at Harvard Law School in the early 1970s - he to acCJ,uire his Doctorate in the Sctence of Jurisprudence and I in pursuit of t~e . far lowlier degree of Bachelor of Laws. Ma speaks . English fluently (thank goodness!) and is a solid friend of the United States. The idea that he feels any sympathy for communism is ·simply laughable: Thus, at a victory news conference, Ma declared that' he would immediately start negotiations fo1 direct charter airline flights to and from the mainland. But he warned that any broader peace accord with Beijing would require China to remove from southern China more than 1,000 missiles there that are aimed at Taiwan. The likelihood of Beijing consenting to this suggests just how remote is the P.ossibility of a true reconciliation. Nonetheless, Ma's victory was undoubtedly welcomed in Beijing as at least a step away from the DPP's pugnacious moves toward total independeQce. And paradoxkally, for the very · same reason, Washington has hailed the election result. The United States is . firmly committed to the defense of Taiwan's independence from the · communist mainland but has had no desire to underwrite the DPP's recent grandiose gestures in that direction. Ma's victory, by the way, was strikingly big: 58 percent to the DPP's 42 percent, among Taiwan's 17 million eligible voters, an . imposing 75 percent of whom cast ballots. And it was underscored by the defeat of two referendums, supported by the DPP, calling for Taiwan to apply for membership in the United Nations - referendums the Nationalists had urged vot. ers to ignore and which less than 36 percent supported. President Bush tssued a .. statement congratulating Ma on his election and added, "I believe the elec-. tion provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to reach .out and engage onl! another in peacefully resolving their differences." . That may be putting it a, little strongly. Beijing regards Taiwan as simply a· province of China in rebellion against the legitimate government. Taiwan's gove111ment regards itself as the authentic and indeed traditional government of alarr. of China - the islan of Taiwan - that has never · been a part o~ the People's Republic, and which will contemplate unification only when the mainland i~ noncommunist and free. : So the argument is obvi-: ously j!Oing to go on for some t1me. But at least th,e voters of Taiwan have signaled their preference for awaiting unification with a democratic mainland rathe; than cutting loose from China altogether. And that is' assuredly a step in the right direction. (William Rusher is an accomplished author. for-: mer publisher of the; National Review andforme~ vice chairman of the.

University to hear his thoughts on faith and academic freedom. "Every university or college is qualified by a specif1c mode of being," said Pope John Paul II, who was only 57 on that day in 1979. "Yours is the qualification ofbein"" Catholic, of affirmmg God, his .revelation and the Catholic Church as the guardian and interpreter of that revelation. The term 'Catholic' will never be a mere label, either added or dropped according to the pressures of varying factors ." It is especially crucial, he said, for theologians to realtze that they do not teach in tsolation, but are part of a body stretching from the local pews to the Vatican. Working with their bishops, theologians are charged with preserving the " unity of the faith," said John Paul, sendmg a shock wave through many Catholic schools that lingers to this day. "True ·theological scholarship, and by the same token theological training,_cannot exist and be fruitful without seeking its inspiration and Its source in the word of God as contained in Sacred Scripture and in the Sacred Tradition of the Church, as interpreted by the authentic Magisterium throughout history," said John Paul. leaders of more than 200 Catholic institutions of higher learning back to the Catholic University of America to hear another address about the state of Terry Catholic education.

This has been hailed in some American quarters as a victory for those who favor an accommodation between Taiwan and Beijing, but don't be deceived. The Kuomintang was Sun· Yat-sen 's party, which lost control of the mainland to the communists in 1949 but has maintained itself on the staunchly independent island of Taiwan ever since. Eight years ago, it lost control of the government there to the ' Democratic Progressive party, which has recently tried to reviv~ its waning popularit~ , by. taking steps m the direction of total independence from mainland China. The Nationalists, though resisting such steps, do not favor reunification with the mainland until communism is gone and it is at last ·a free society. They favor the current status quo, .under which Taiwan remains totally free while .increas- William Rusher ing its highly profitable economic relations with China. The newly elected president of the Repubhc of China on Taiwan is Ma Ying-jeou, whom 1 met and got to know · slightly when we were both at Harvard Law School in the early 1970s - he to acCJ,uire his Doctorate in the Sctence of Jurisprudence and I in pursuit of t~e . far lowlier degree of Bachelor of Laws. Ma speaks . English fluently (thank goodness!) and is a solid friend of the United States. The idea that he feels any sympathy for communism is ·simply laughable: Thus, at a victory news conference, Ma declared that' he would immediately start negotiations fo1 direct charter airline flights to and from the mainland. But he warned that any broader peace accord with Beijing would require China to remove from southern China more than 1,000 missiles there that are aimed at Taiwan. The likelihood of Beijing consenting to this suggests just how remote is the P.ossibility of a true reconciliation. Nonetheless, Ma's victory was undoubtedly welcomed in Beijing as at least a step away from the DPP's pugnacious moves toward total independeQce. And paradoxkally, for the very · same reason, Washington has hailed the election result. The United States is . firmly committed to the defense of Taiwan's independence from the · communist mainland but has had no desire to underwrite the DPP's recent grandiose gestures in that direction. Ma's victory, by the way, was strikingly big: 58 percent to the DPP's 42 percent, among Taiwan's 17 million eligible voters, an . imposing 75 percent of whom cast ballots. And it was underscored by the defeat of two referendums, supported by the DPP, calling for Taiwan to apply for membership in the United Nations - referendums the Nationalists had urged vot. ers to ignore and which less than 36 percent supported. President Bush tssued a .. statement congratulating Ma on his election and added, "I believe the elec-. tion provides a fresh opportunity for both sides to reach .out and engage onl! another in peacefully resolving their differences." . That may be putting it a, little strongly. Beijing regards Taiwan as simply a· province of China in rebellion against the legitimate government. Taiwan's gove111ment regards itself as the authentic and indeed traditional government of alarr. of China - the islan of Taiwan - that has never · been a part o~ the People's Republic, and which will contemplate unification only when the mainland i~ noncommunist and free. : So the argument is obvi-: ously j!Oing to go on for some t1me. But at least th,e voters of Taiwan have signaled their preference for awaiting unification with a democratic mainland rathe; than cutting loose from China altogether. And that is' assuredly a step in the right direction. (William Rusher is an accomplished author. for-: mer publisher of the; National Review andforme~ vice chairman of the.

All of. those may be a true · test. of family togetherness, but I now ~now what can tqp them all : 40-something hours driving together in a minivan to Texas and back. Much of both my wife' s and my extended family lives in Tel\as. My parents, all but one of my siblings, my grandmother, and . many aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. are scattered from the top of Texas in Amarillo to the bayous of Houston. My wife's grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins are concentrated in Tel\as, too; but her parents and brother are all here in Ohio. A couple of weeks ago, my wife's paternal grandmother died unexpectedly. And so we had to make an unplanned trip down south. From Meigs County, it takes a minimum of 17 hours of driving time to get to Dallas. That doesn't count being caught in traffic jams, construction detours, bathroom breaks, or anything else. I checked into airline tickets - · briefly. The cheapest seats I could find were going to cost us around $2500! Ouch! Driving sounded a whole lot better. Driving between Ohio and Texas under normal conditions, we always stopped for the night at a motel along the way. But this trip, we couldn't afford the time that would take away from everything else. · So we left on a Tuesday evening and planned to drive straight through. It actually wasn't going to be too bad, because my wife's brother was going to go down with us. That meant three drivers could relieve each other and not leave any one of us totally exhausted. Her brother lives in the Dayton area, so we went there first. One the Friday, March 28,2008 Pastor Kerry Wood way, we got a phone call. . My wife 's parents had just discovered the cost of flying and ·were now driving to Texas, too. Would it be okay if they took him as a thi~d driver, instead of us'! Who am t to argue with my in-laws? I' m much smarter than that! So now it was just the two drivers in our car - and that meant it was really mostly one driver: me. My wife doesn't see as well at night, plus she "hits a wall" about midnight that leaves her dysfunctional until she gets some sleep. The nice thing about night driving is that one can miss the rush-hour traffic in the bigger cities. We went through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis and Little Rock during the off-hours and experienced no delays at all. The bad thing about night driving is that there are !)lore IS-wheelers moving than I ever imagined' And they aren't consistent in theu driving. I was constantly passing or being passed by these huge trucks.

Anyway, while there wasn't any intended spiritual significance to the game itself, in retrospect it could perhaps be an interesting anti-metaphor for our spiritual mission as Christians (at least in a very broad sense). And just what is an "anti-metaphor?" Don't bother to look it up in the dictionary: I like to make up words occasionally. An "anti -metaphor" would be something symbolizing the opposite of an ideal - in other words , the concept it represents is the very farthest one can be from wh01t one is really trying to discuss. Hopefully, the contrast helps one to understand the idea being engaged. With that in mind, consider the object of the game of Hearts: to NOT take points. Points are represented by the suit of hearts (hence, the name of the game): the more heart~ you capture, the more points you earn, and the player who has the mo.st points at the end of the game is the loser. One card in the gal)le, the queen of spades, is worth 13 points all by itself. Capturing THAT card is definitely NOT optimal. In contrast, God is all about capturing hearts. In fact, the theme of the Christian life is that God has captured a person's heart and then through him or her is reaching even !)lore hearts. A Christian's mission, therefore, is to allow the Lord to work His will through him or her by participating in God's mis. sion to capture the hearts of others. Consider the woman who w;ts perhaps the very first person in Europe converted to . Christianity (she is at least the first person recorded as. having converted). Luke, in the book of Acts, shares serious stuff - the kinds of conversations that can only happen after prolonged togetherness in tight confines . Give people I 0 hours of car-sleep-hair, Doritosbreath, and three or more 32-ounce sodas, and they'll talk about anything! Guards are let down, and some soul-baring takes place. I wouldn't trade that time with my family for anything! What's true for me as an earthly fattier, I think is even truer fur our Heavenly Father. In fact. my relationships with my family are first based upon the relationship God has with . me. Why do we get the experience of this life? To give us time together with Him. Some have a short amount of time here, others get as many as I0 decades. My wife's grandmother lived into her 80s, but she never lost that child-like.quality of faith that Jesus describes in Mark 10:14-16: Jesus said to them, "Let . the little children .come to me, and do not hinder them, 'for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you · the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, •put his hands on them and blessed them. How long has it been since you want on a "road trip" with God? Have you had the time to let your guard down for some serious one-on-one time with Him? Have you allowed the rumbles of troubles in your life shake your confidence in your Creator? Or have they focused your driving to stay on God's highway? May your travels be filled with goodness and mercy · all .the days of your life! Church offers free school tuition to members, nonmembers ( Friday, March 28, '2008 ( f ·r i' i' i' i' i' ( I i free .

The Christmas festivities? Getting everyone into their Easter-Sunday best and to the church on time? All of. those may be a true · test. of family togetherness, but I now ~now what can tqp them all : 40-something hours driving together in a minivan to Texas and back. Much of both my wife' s and my extended family lives in Tel\as. My parents, all but one of my siblings, my grandmother, and . many aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. are scattered from the top of Texas in Amarillo to the bayous of Houston. My wife's grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins are concentrated in Tel\as, too; but her parents and brother are all here in Ohio. A couple of weeks ago, my wife's paternal grandmother died unexpectedly. And so we had to make an unplanned trip down south. From Meigs County, it takes a minimum of 17 hours of driving time to get to Dallas. That doesn't count being caught in traffic jams, construction detours, bathroom breaks, or anything else. I checked into airline tickets - · briefly. The cheapest seats I could find were going to cost us around $2500! Ouch! Driving sounded a whole lot better. Driving between Ohio and Texas under normal conditions, we always stopped for the night at a motel along the way. But this trip, we couldn't afford the time that would take away from everything else. · So we left on a Tuesday evening and planned to drive straight through. It actually wasn't going to be too bad, because my wife's brother was going to go down with us. That meant three drivers could relieve each other and not leave any one of us totally exhausted. Her brother lives in the Dayton area, so we went there first. One the Friday, March 28,2008 Pastor Kerry Wood way, we got a phone call. . My wife 's parents had just discovered the cost of flying and ·were now driving to Texas, too. Would it be okay if they took him as a thi~d driver, instead of us'! Who am t to argue with my in-laws? I' m much smarter than that! So now it was just the two drivers in our car - and that meant it was really mostly one driver: me. My wife doesn't see as well at night, plus she "hits a wall" about midnight that leaves her dysfunctional until she gets some sleep. The nice thing about night driving is that one can miss the rush-hour traffic in the bigger cities. We went through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis and Little Rock during the off-hours and experienced no delays at all. The bad thing about night driving is that there are !)lore IS-wheelers moving than I ever imagined' And they aren't consistent in theu driving. I was constantly passing or being passed by these huge trucks. And every time we would come near one another, the rumbling of 20-thousand pounds traveling at 70 miles-per-hour was loud enough to shake the van like it .was in an earthquake! I must say that my three kids were real troopers· on this trip. Sure, we had our share of sibling bickering, but we also had a lot of fun. You can only ima~ine the (Kerry Wood is the pastor hilarity of stupid JOkes at four a.m. I am convinced of Racine United Methodist that the closer one is to Church, 818 Ebn Street in el\haustion, the more funny Racine.

(AP) Zion Lutheran Church in the Milwaukee suburb of Menomonee Falls is offering to let families send their children to the church's school for free whether or not they , are members of the congregation. Pastor Tim Lamkin says the congregation wants to do something to stimulate some enthusiasm· and excitement for enrollment. Church members voted overwhelmingly .to support the idea. ( r r Lamkin says the school which offers 4year-old kindergarten through eighth grade has 4 7 students, down from about 130 in the early 1990s. Mark Bahr is principal of Lake. Country Lutheran High School in Oconomowoc and vice chairman of the Association of Lut~eran Secondary Schools. He says many parochi,al schools offer free or reduced tuition to members of their churches, but few if any have ever offered free tuition to nonmembers. ( i After completing a weekand-a-half-long mission project overseas. the team I was leading gathered with four other teams for a few days' worth of sightseeing .. In the daytime, we would doggedly take our teams to all the historically important places we could, hoping to mal\imize the opportunity for each person. Then; in the evening, while our team members were all relaxing and socializing with their friends, the other team leaders and I (all college campus ministers at . the time) often played the card game " Hearts" (NOT a gambling game, in case you wondered). Anyway, while there wasn't any intended spiritual significance to the game itself, in retrospect it could perhaps be an interesting anti-metaphor for our spiritual mission as Christians (at least in a very broad sense). And just what is an "anti-metaphor?" Don't bother to look it up in the dictionary: I like to make up words occasionally. An "anti -metaphor" would be something symbolizing the opposite of an ideal - in other words , the concept it represents is the very farthest one can be from wh01t one is really trying to discuss. Hopefully, the contrast helps one to understand the idea being engaged. With that in mind, consider the object of the game of Hearts: to NOT take points. Points are represented by the suit of hearts (hence, the name of the game): the more heart~ you capture, the more points you earn, and the player who has the mo.st points at the end of the game is the loser. One card in the gal)le, the queen of spades, is worth 13 points all by itself. Capturing THAT card is definitely NOT optimal. In contrast, God is all about capturing hearts. In fact, the theme of the Christian life is that God has captured a person's heart and then through him or her is reaching even !)lore hearts. A Christian's mission, therefore, is to allow the Lord to work His will through him or her by participating in God's mis. sion to capture the hearts of others. Consider the woman who w;ts perhaps the very first person in Europe converted to . Christianity (she is at least the first person recorded as. having converted). Luke, in the book of Acts, shares serious stuff - the kinds of conversations that can only happen after prolonged togetherness in tight confines . Give people I 0 hours of car-sleep-hair, Doritosbreath, and three or more 32-ounce sodas, and they'll talk about anything! Guards are let down, and some soul-baring takes place. I wouldn't trade that time with my family for anything! What's true for me as an earthly fattier, I think is even truer fur our Heavenly Father. In fact. my relationships with my family are first based upon the relationship God has with . me. Why do we get the experience of this life? To give us time together with Him. Some have a short amount of time here, others get as many as I0 decades. My wife's grandmother lived into her 80s, but she never lost that child-like.quality of faith that Jesus describes in Mark 10:14-16: Jesus said to them, "Let . the little children .come to me, and do not hinder them, 'for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you · the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, •put his hands on them and blessed them. How long has it been since you want on a "road trip" with God? Have you had the time to let your guard down for some serious one-on-one time with Him? Have you allowed the rumbles of troubles in your life shake your confidence in your Creator? Or have they focused your driving to stay on God's highway? May your travels be filled with goodness and mercy · all .the days of your life! Church offers free school tuition to members, nonmembers ( Friday, March 28, '2008 ( f ·r i' i' i' i' i' ( I i free .

Jose Canseco is one Of those people. The only Whistle we can rely on him to blow is his own. At least with Canseco's first effort, "Juiced,", there was a trade-off. All that selfserving snitching put cash in his pocket and his mug back on TV, but it also helped shame baseball into acknowledging its own perfortnal).ce-enhancing jones. , Canseco might ,have seem¢ miscast as the only honest man in the halls of Congress three years ago, considering he cheated and then lied his way through a 17 -year pro career. But that's the way things work sometimes. Everybody .else in the game was so busy covering their tracks that a convicted criminal and shameless publicity hound like Canseco became a voice of authority by default. It didn't hu'rt that more l)l·an a few of his claims, inflated as they were, turned out to be true.

Jose Canseco is one Of those people. The only Whistle we can rely on him to blow is his own. At least with Canseco's first effort, "Juiced,", there was a trade-off.

But that's the way things work sometimes.

It didn't hu'rt that more l)l·an a few of his claims, inflated as they were, turned out to be true.

BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Pat Riley can't understand why Shaquille 0 ' Neal keeps talking about the Miami Heat. Riley responded to O'Neal' s criticisms Wednesday with some. of his own, .saying his former center was wrong to disparage some of his old teammates and trainers in a Boston Globe story. - "It's sad that he says those things. We shared so much here, together, for three years, good and bad, 3 1/2 years," Riley said, referring specifically to the Heat's 2006 NBA title. "I just think it's sad that he's got to do that." Riley dealt O'Neal to Phoenix before the trade deadline, allowing the 36year-old center the chance to compete for . another title instead of sticking around Miami for a last-place finish. O'Neal made it clear how much he prefers his new teammates. "I love ·playing for this coach and I love playing Davis were on coun togethwith these guys," O'Neal er for 16 minutes, 2 seconds.

Riley also defended the work of .veteran trainer Ron Culp and the team's medical staff, saying O'Neal was out of line to speak poorly of them. "It's really a shame that he would insult those people like that because they gave him care. They cared," Riley said. "They didn't kiss his butt. They cared about him.

' Ultimate fighting expands to include children as young as 6; some fight with parents' blessing BY MAIICUS KABEL ASSOCIATED PRESS · CARTHAGE, Mo. Ultimate fighting was once the sole domain of burly men who beat each other bloody in anything-goes brawls on pay-per-view TV. But the sport often derided as "human cockfighting" is branching oui. · The bare-knuckle fights are now attracting competitors as young as 6 whose parents treat the sport as casually as wrestling, Little League or soccer. The changes were,evident on a recent evening in southwe~t Missouri, where a team of several young boys and one girl grappl_ed on gym mats in a converted garage. Two members of the group called the "Garage Boys Fight Crew" touched their thin martial-arts gloves .in a flash of sportsmanship before beginning a relentless e1tchange of sucker punches, body blows and swift kicks. . No bloo.d was shed. And both competitors wore protective gear. But the bout reflected the decidedly younger face of ultimate fighting. The trend alarms medical experts and sports · officials who worry that young bodies can't withstand the pounding. Tommy Bloomer, father of two of the "Garage Boys," doesn't understand the fuss . "We're not !raining. them for dog fighting," said Bloomer, a 34-year-old construction contractor. "As a parent, I'd much rather have my kids here learning how to d!!fend themselves ~nd getting positive reinforcement than out .on the streets." Bloomer said the sp9rt Tar Heels from PageBl can focus on erasing the lingering memories from last year's final game: a blown double-digit lead late in the second half of an overtime loss to Georgetown in the regional finals. "We know what happened . We know that feelmg." Hansbrough said. "We don't want to have it again. That's kind of our attitude, and that's the mentality we have." For the first time in this tournament, the Tar Heels, the nation's -second-highest scoring team, didn' t crack I00 points. It didn' t matter. Nor did' it matter that Hansbrough struggled much of the way.

Joe Miller, administrator of the Oklahoma Professional Boxing Commission, said youth fights are . banned in his state, and he wants it to stay that -way. "There's too much potential for damage to growing joints," he said. Miller said mixed martial arts uses a Jot ·of arm and leg twisting to force opponents into submission . Those moves, he said, pressure joints in a way not found in sanctioned sports like youth boxing or wrestling. But Nathan, Orand, a martial arts trainer from Tulsa, Okla., said kids are capable of avoiding injuries, especially with watchful referees tn the rings. He thinks the ·sport is bound to grow. "I can see their point because when you say 'cage fighting,' that right there just sounds like kids shouldn't be doing it," Orand said. "But you still have all the respect that regular martial arts teach you. And it's really the only. true way for youth to be able to defend themselves." Back in the Carthage garage, Bloomer said parents shouldn't .worry about kids becoming aggressive from learning mixed martial arts. He said his older son was picked on by bullies at school repeatedly last year but never fought them, instead reporting the problem to his teachers. Ahd fighters including his 8-year-old son get along once a bout is over; · Bloomer said. · "When they get out of the . cage, they go back and play video games together. It doesn't matter who won and who lost. They're still little buddies."

BY BRIAN MAHONEY ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Pat Riley can't understand why Shaquille 0 ' Neal keeps talking about the Miami Heat. Riley responded to O'Neal' s criticisms Wednesday with some. of his own, .saying his former center was wrong to disparage some of his old teammates and trainers in a Boston Globe story. - "It's sad that he says those things. We shared so much here, together, for three years, good and bad, 3 1/2 years," Riley said, referring specifically to the Heat's 2006 NBA title. "I just think it's sad that he's got to do that." Riley dealt O'Neal to Phoenix before the trade deadline, allowing the 36year-old center the chance to compete for . another title instead of sticking around Miami for a last-place finish. O'Neal made it clear how much he prefers his new teammates. "I love ·playing for this coach and I love playing Davis were on coun togethwith these guys," O'Neal er for 16 minutes, 2 seconds. He also complained about told the Globe. "We have professionals who know not getting enough touches what to do.

I mean everybody's at fault, we all were. Everybody was feeling bad and nobody wants that," Riley said. · "He didn 't want to be there, he didn't want to play for that kind of situation, 35 years old. He wanted to go to a contender and we sent him there. We sent him to Utopia and we' re left here with the carnage and I don't know why he's not happy." Riley also defended the work of .veteran trainer Ron Culp and the team's medical staff, saying O'Neal was out of line to speak poorly of them. "It's really a shame that he would insult those people like that because they gave him care. They cared," Riley said. "They didn't kiss his butt. They cared about him. "He can do whatever he wants to do to me. That's OK, I don' t care. But those men, they tried. ... That upsets me more than anything." ' Ultimate fighting expands to include children as young as 6; some fight with parents' blessing BY MAIICUS KABEL ASSOCIATED PRESS · CARTHAGE, Mo. Ultimate fighting was once the sole domain of burly men who beat each other bloody in anything-goes brawls on pay-per-view TV. But the sport often derided as "human cockfighting" is branching oui. · The bare-knuckle fights are now attracting competitors as young as 6 whose parents treat the sport as casually as wrestling, Little League or soccer. The changes were,evident on a recent evening in southwe~t Missouri, where a team of several young boys and one girl grappl_ed on gym mats in a converted garage. Two members of the group called the "Garage Boys Fight Crew" touched their thin martial-arts gloves .in a flash of sportsmanship before beginning a relentless e1tchange of sucker punches, body blows and swift kicks. . No bloo.d was shed. And both competitors wore protective gear. But the bout reflected the decidedly younger face of ultimate fighting. The trend alarms medical experts and sports · officials who worry that young bodies can't withstand the pounding. Tommy Bloomer, father of two of the "Garage Boys," doesn't understand the fuss . "We're not !raining. them for dog fighting," said Bloomer, a 34-year-old construction contractor. "As a parent, I'd much rather have my kids here learning how to d!!fend themselves ~nd getting positive reinforcement than out .on the streets." Bloomer said the sp9rt Tar Heels from PageBl can focus on erasing the lingering memories from last year's final game: a blown double-digit lead late in the second half of an overtime loss to Georgetown in the regional finals. "We know what happened . We know that feelmg." Hansbrough said. "We don't want to have it again. That's kind of our attitude, and that's the mentality we have." For the first time in this tournament, the Tar Heels, the nation's -second-highest scoring team, didn' t crack I00 points. It didn' t matter. Nor did' it matter that Hansbrough struggled much of the way. Instead, facing a deliberate Washington State team that had held Winthrop and Notre Dame to a com- has evolved since the no- ited release. holds-barred days by · Bloomer said the fights adding weight classes to are no more dangerous or better match opponents and violent than youth banning moves such as wrestling.

Joe Miller, administrator of the Oklahoma Professional Boxing Commission, said youth fights are . banned in his state, and he wants it to stay that -way. "There's too much potential for damage to growing joints," he said. Miller said mixed martial arts uses a Jot ·of arm and leg twisting to force opponents into submission . Those moves, he said, pressure joints in a way not found in sanctioned sports like youth boxing or wrestling. But Nathan, Orand, a martial arts trainer from Tulsa, Okla., said kids are capable of avoiding injuries, especially with watchful referees tn the rings. He thinks the ·sport is bound to grow. "I can see their point because when you say 'cage fighting,' that right there just sounds like kids shouldn't be doing it," Orand said. "But you still have all the respect that regular martial arts teach you. And it's really the only. true way for youth to be able to defend themselves." Back in the Carthage garage, Bloomer said parents shouldn't .worry about kids becoming aggressive from learning mixed martial arts. He said his older son was picked on by bullies at school repeatedly last year but never fought them, instead reporting the problem to his teachers. Ahd fighters including his 8-year-old son get along once a bout is over; · Bloomer said. · "When they get out of the . cage, they go back and play video games together. It doesn't matter who won and who lost. They're still little buddies."

Grant.Al GALLIPOLfS - Ohio State University Extension's Gallia County 4-H Youth Development Program recently proposed a partnership with Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services to provide TANF-eligible youth the opportunity to attend summer 4-H camp. The partnership will offer camping experiences to those who would not otherwise have this opportunity. Increasing costs of food and energy have hurt family budget as well as increasing camping costs from $82 per child in 2005 to $107 in 2008. This cost increase has forced many families to chqose between' being .able to supply family needs and providing extra activities for their children. · Many Gallia County families have more than one child of camping age and can not afford to send them all to summer camp. Currently, over 85 percent of Gallia County children who attend camp take ·advantage of the county 4-H candy bar sale, which helps them obtain some funding for camp, however, in many cases th1s is not enough. This partnership would assist these families in providing their children with the benefits that come from summer camping. It would send up to 100 Gallia County TANF-eligible children to 4H summer camp at the Elizabeth. L: Evans Outdoor Education Center/Canter's Cave 4-H ·camp and the day camp at the Kyger Creek Employee Clubhouse. TANF-eligible youth participants will participate in educational summer camping activities designed to improve essential life skills, develop leadership and citizenship skills, and develop skills related to workforce development. In addition, this project will provide additional funds to develop a new fitness and nutrition program to the benefit of all campers. Children who are at least 5 years old and currently enrolled in kindergarten can attend a Cloverbud Overnight or a Cloverbud Day Camp provided by the Gallia County 4-H program. Cloverbud Overnight camps will be held June 1213andJune 18-19atacost of $35 for one child and one adult to attend.
