Advances in 911 technology aidfirst responders and citizens

BY KATHY LEESE

As 911 dispatchers cele-brate National 911 EducationMonth in the United States,the Shelby County Sheriff ’sOffice is offering another waythat local residents can signup to use 911 to stay safe inan emergency and local dis-patchers are looking forwardto the technological advancesthat are developing with NextGeneration 911.Local 911 dispatchers work

24 hours a day to help protectlocal residents, and PatrickGoldschmidt, the ShelbyCounty Sheriff ’s Office 911 co-ordinator and informationtechnology manager, stated, “Iwant the residents of Sidneyand Shelby County to knowthat they have very dedicatedand hard-working dispatcherson duty around the clock eachand every day. They are the

often heard but rarely seenpublic safety professional. Iknow each and every one ofthem and want them to knowwhat a wonderful job they do.”

There are challenges facedevery day by dispatchers, suchas “trying to get informationwe need from an irate or dis-traught caller. People call us

at their worst moment anddon’t seem to understand whywe ask the questions we do,”Goldschmidt stated. “We needinformation to send the ap-propriate response and to en-sure these responders have aclear understanding of the sit-uation they are respondingto.”Although 911 first devel-

oped in Shelby County in 1991under the leadership of SheriffJohn Lenhart, the develop-ments since that time havemade the technology one thatis ever-evolving. According toGoldschmidt, local residentscan now set up a free reverse911 to their phones and the lat-est technology on the horizonwill make it possible for localresidents to use photos andvideos to help law enforcementin an emergency.

Minster rocketteam hits new

heights at contestBY TOM MILLHOUSE

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — With muddy conditions from astorm wiping out the planned launch on Saturday, MinsterHigh School rocket team members had to roll out of bed at3:30 a.m. Sunday and set up their rocket in the dark. Theearly wake-up call proved to be worth it as the team outdis-tanced 19 other high school teams from around the country.And, to top off several days of once-in-a-life time experi-

ences, the Minster students had the opportunity to meetHomer Hickam, the author of the best-selling book, “RocketBoys,” which was made into a popular movie, “October Sky.”There were no placings for high school teams in the NASA

Student Launch initiative at the NASA center in Huntsville,Ala., as the students had to compete against college teamsfrom around the country. However, the Minster team learnedas it made its trip home Sunday afternoon that when itsrocket — named “I Need My Space” — reached 4,791 feet, itwas the highest altitude among high school teams.”If they had had a winner for the high school teams, we

would have been the winner,” said Ted Oldiges,Minster RocketClub adviser. He noted the students’ rocket went about 300feet higher than rockets launched by other high school teams.Oldiges said the launch was set for Saturday, but when the

storm turned the field into a muddy mess, the event wasmoved to Sunday morning.“The banquet was set for Saturday night, so the kids didn’t

get to bed until 11 p.m. or midnight,” he said. “They wereworking on three hours sleep,” Oldiges said, noting the early-morning wake-up call was needed to hit the road for set-up at

BOSTON (AP) —As churches pausedto mourn the dead and console the sur-vivors of the Boston Marathon bombingSunday, the city’s police commissionersaid the two suspects had such a largecache of weapons that they were proba-bly planning other attacks. The surviv-ing suspect remained hospitalized andunable to speak with a gunshot wound tothe throat.After the two brothers engaged in a

gun battle with police early Friday, au-thorities found many unexploded home-

made bombs at the scene, along withmore than 250 rounds of ammunition.Police Commissioner Ed Davis said

the stockpile was “as dangerous as it getsin urban policing.”“We have reason to believe, based

upon the evidence that was found at thatscene — the explosions, the explosiveordnance that was unexploded and thefirepower that they had — that theywere going to attack other individuals.That’s my belief at this point.” Davis toldCBS’s “Face the Nation.”On “Fox News Sunday,” he said au-

thorities cannot be positive there are notmore explosives somewhere that have

not been found. But the people of Bostonare safe, he insisted.The suspects in the twin bombings

that killed three people and woundedmore than 180 are two ethnic Chechenbrothers from southern Russia — 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan.Their motiveremained unclear.The older brother was killed during a

getaway attempt. The younger brother,Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was still in seriouscondition Sunday after his capture Fri-day from a tarp-covered boat in a subur-ban Boston backyard. Authorities would

“Reverse 911 is a pub-lic safety communicationssystem used by publicsafety organizations (suchas the Shelby CountySheriff ’s Office) to com-municate with groups ofpeople in a defined geo-graphic area,” Gold-schmidt said.The reverse911 system uses a data-base of telephone num-bers and addresses, andwhen that is put togetherwith geographic informa-tion systems (GIS), it canbe “used to deliverrecorded emergency noti-fications.” Locally, reverse911 has already assistedin emergencies. “We haveused the (reverse 911)system when we werelooking for an autisticchild that had not beenseen for several hours.Within 15 minutes ofmaking the calls, the childwas reunited with theparents.We used it to no-tify residents of JacksonCenter of an emergencypower outage that wouldaffect the entire village,”Goldschmidt explained,noting the importance ofthe free program.

600 signed upApproximately 600

local residents havesigned up for reverse 911,which is open to anyonein Shelby County and isfree of charge.The ShelbyCounty Sheriff’s Office ishoping many more takeadvantage of the system.The system is availablefor both those with homeland-line phones and forcellphones. In order tosign up for reverse 911,local residents can go tothe Shelby County Sher-iff ’s Office web page to“Emergency Mass Notifi-cation System” and go to“click here.” Known as“Next Generation 911,”the new system, which isstill in the future, willbring 911 centers into thelatest technology. “Publicsafety communicationsexperts have recognizedthat the nation’s current911 system was not capa-ble of handling the text,data, images and videothat are increasingly com-mon in personal commu-nications,” Goldschmidtstated. Next Generation911 will allow local resi-dents to “make a 911 call

— any real-time commu-nication — voice, text orvideo — from any wired,wireless or Internet pro-tocol (IP)-based deviceand allow the emergencyservices community totake advantage of ad-vanced call delivery andother functions throughnew… technologies.”Goldschmidt, who has

worked in emergencycommunications for 10years, stated that whilethe systemwill take sometime to implement andwill require changes tothe current system and to911 centers, it is consid-ered a step forward inhelping local residents inemergencies.Basic information“In today’s 911 envi-

ronment, the public can… make only emergencyvoice calls and teletypecalls (by deaf or hearing-impaired).” Because ofthat, only basic informa-tion can be obtained cur-rently during a 911 call,such as automatic num-ber identification, sub-scriber name, and wherethe person is located ifthat is available.“In…NextGeneration

911, the public will beable tomake voice, text orvideo emergency callsfrom any communicationsdevice via IP-based net-works,” Goldschmidtstated, adding that 911centers will be able to re-ceive information frompersonal safety devicesalso such as AdvancedAutomatic Collision Noti-fication Systems, medicalalert systems and sen-sors. Long-distance 911will be part of the newsystem and calls will beable to be transferred toother 911 centers. Emer-gency alerts to wirelessdevices will be possiblethrough voice or textmes-sages and they can besent to highway alert sys-tems.There will have to be

changesmade to local 911dispatch centers equip-ment, including changesto software in emergencyresponse vehicles, so theycan receive the informa-tion being sent to 911 byresidents. In addition tonew equipment, 911 dis-patchers will have to

learn how to operate thesystems.“Workloads are ex-

pected to increase andsignificant new trainingwill be required” for dis-patchers. The cost for allof the new equipment andtraining “could easily beor exceed tens or hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars,” Goldschmidt said.The technology would beused at both the ShelbyCounty Sheriff ’s Officeand the Sidney Police De-partment if they continueto operate separately.An example of Next

Generation 911, Gold-schmidt said,might be “inthe event of a … highwayaccident involving multi-ple vehicles, including ahazardous material vehi-cle, the local 911 centermay receive many callsfrom different motorists.This can cause the centerto be overloaded withcalls,” which can cause“confusion … the confu-sion can delay responsetimes.”

‘Avoid the area’In Next Generation

911, “everyone in thevicinity with an Internet-connected device can beautomatically notified toavoid the area. Highwaymessage signs can alsodisplay the warning. Anyinvolved vehicle with anAdvancedAutomatic Col-lisionNotification Systemautomatically sends im-portant crash data to the911 center, which can dis-patch emergency respon-ders even if thepassengers are unable torespond.”Goldschmidt noted

that under the current911 system, it is commonto receive 12 calls aboutan accident.“Many deaf (and hear-

ing-impaired) people usetext messaging and in-stant messages to com-municate with others, butunfortunately, today’s 911system is not equipped toaccept this,” Goldschmidtstated. He said those whoare not able to use tradi-tional 911, such as thedeaf, make up approxi-mately 10 percent of thepopulation, including 20percent of those over age65 and 40 percent of thoseover 75 years old. “In the

Next Generation 911 …hearing- and speech-im-paired individuals will beable to place such a call bysending a text messagefrom their cellphone.They will be able to carryon a text conversationwith a 911 operator and

even send pictures orvideo when necessary.”At this time, Gold-

schmidt is working on thestate of Ohio EmergencyServices Internet ProtocolNetwork (ESINET)Steering Committee,which is responsible for

advising state officials onthe implementation, oper-ation and maintenance ofthe Next Generation sys-tem, which will help tobring the latest technol-ogy to local residents andthe state of Ohio.

TOLEDO,Ohio (AP)—Rejecting theexpansion of health care coverage formore low-incomeOhioanswillmean theloss of $700 million over the next twoyears for medical care and treatmentprograms for people withmental illnessor substance abuse problems, the gover-nor’s administration says.Advocates of Ohio Gov. JohnKasich’s

proposal to expand Medicaid underPresident Barack Obama’s health lawsay turning down the expansion willhave a ripple effect on state and countyagencies that deal with people who areuninsured and battling addictions andmental illness.“There is a great deal at stake,” said

Tracy Plouck, director of the Ohio De-partment of Mental Health.Expanding treatment programs, she

said, could help keep people out of jailand allow counties to free up moneythey spend on mental illness or sub-stance abuse programs.Republicans in the Ohio House this

past week removed the Medicaid ex-pansion from the upcoming state budgetwhile agreeing to continue discussinghealth coverage for the poor and adding$100million over the next two years formental health and substance abuse.Opponents of Medicaid expansion

fear being stuck with the long-termcosts of the program,which now is beingpaid for mainly by the federal govern-ment. Many conservatives also arephilosophically against the idea of ex-panding government programs and op-posed to the federal health care law that

calls for mandated health coverage.What happens next withMedicaid is

up to the state Senate.Greg Moody, director of the Gover-

nor’s Office of Health Transformation,says the needs of those with mentalhealth problems and addictions aremuch bigger than $50 million a year.The administration estimates its

plan would provide $627 million annu-ally for those two areas once the Medi-caid expansion takes full effect.Estimates show that about 215,000

people in Ohio would be eligible for sub-stance abuse treatment if the state ex-panded Medicaid, according to the U.S.Substance Abuse and Mental HealthServices Administration.That’s more than double the current

number now in treatment programs.“These are real people,with real fam-

ilies who are struggling around an issuethatwe’re all familiarwith,which is youcan’t get the care that you need becauseyou’re uninsured,” said EdHughes,whoruns the Counseling Center inPortsmouth, one of the region’s largestaddiction-counseling centers.For years, the area that sits along the

Ohio River across from Kentucky washome to more than a dozen pill mills,cash-only clinics that distributed pre-scriptions on demand to addicts basedon bare bones examinations.Hughes said hewas excited about the

possibility of being able to treat and seemore clients.“We see people dying, literally dying,”

Hughes said, referring to thosewhomayhave tried to access their services forhelp and later die of drug overdoses.Others, he said, end up in jail.

Wallabies inAustria? YesVIENNA (AP) — Volun-

teers are searching for apair of wallabies hoppingthrough Austria — yes,Austria.The kangaroo-like mar-

supials, which are smallerthan “roos” and primarilyfound in Australia, escapedfrom a farm in the UpperAustrian countryside, about180 kilometers (about 110miles) northwest of Vienna.Thursdaywas the third dayof the quest to find them.There are actually three

wallabies on the loose —owner Gabrielle Schram-mel says the female has ajoey in her pouch.Austrians often express

irritation at being confusedfor Australians whileabroad, and mail meant forAustralia occasionally sur-faces in this central Euro-pean Alpine country.Those Vienna souvenir

not comment on whether hehad been questioned.Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana,

a member of the Senate Intel-ligence Committee, said Tsar-naev’s throat wound raisedquestions about when he willbe able to talk again, if ever.The wound “doesn’t mean

he can’t communicate, butright now I think he’s in a con-dition where we can’t get anyinformation from him at all,”Coats told ABC’s “This Week.”It was not clear whether

Tsarnaev was shot by police orinflicted the wound himself.In the final standoff with

police, shots were fired fromthe boat, but investigatorshave not determined wherethe gunfire was aimed, Davissaid.In an interview with The

Associated Press, the parentsof Tamerlan Tsarnaev insistedSunday that he came toDagestan and Chechnya lastyear to visit relatives and hadnothing to do with the mili-tants operating in the volatilepart of Russia. His father saidhe slept much of the time.The younger Tsarnaev

could be charged any day. Themost serious charge availableto federal prosecutors would bethe use of a weapon of massdestruction to kill people,which carries a possible deathsentence. Massachusetts doesnot have the death penalty.Across the rattled streets of

Boston, churches opened theirdoors to remember the deadand ease the grief of the living.At the Cathedral of the

Holy Cross in South Boston,photographs of the three peo-ple killed in the attack and aMassachusetts Institute ofTechnology police officer slainThursday were displayed onthe altar, each face illuminatedby a glowing white pillar can-dle.“I hope we can all heal and

move forward,” said KellyMcKernan, who was crying asshe left the service. “And obvi-ously, the Mass today was afirst step for us in that direc-tion.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — For PresidentBarackObama,one of hismostwrenchingWhiteHouse weeks saw the fresh specter of terrorismand the first crushing political defeat of his newterm, and the more emotional side of a leaderoften criticized for appearing clinical or detached.The events presented sharp tests for a presi-

dent committed to an ambitious agenda in thelimited window offered by a second term.There was the challenge to reassure a nerv-

ous nation about threats at home and to keep therest of his legislative goals on track after theSenate rejected gun control measures that hadbecome his top priority.“Thiswas a toughweek,”Obama said late Fri-

day, shortly after authorities captured the sec-ond suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.TheBostonMarathon explosions and the gun

votes overshadowed other events that wouldhave captivated the country and consumed theWhite House during almost any other week.An explosion leveled a Texas fertilizer plant,

killing at least 14 people. Letters addressed toObama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., werefound to contain traces of poisonous ricin in tests,evoking parallels to the anthrax attacks afterSept. 11, 2001.“It’s not new,” David Axelrod, the president’s

former senior adviser, said of the White Housebalancing act.“It’s neverwelcome,but it’s not en-tirely unexpected.”

The full fallout of the events and their impacton Obama’s presidency remains uncertain.That’s particularly true inBoston,where themo-tivations of the two brothers accused in thebombing are unknown, as are their connectionsto any terrorist network.But the capture of the teenager whose older

brother was killed attempting to escape policebrought closure to Boston and theWhite House.Throughout Friday, Obama aides watched

coverage of the manhunt on Boston televisionstations being specially broadcast throughoutthe White House.When the search appeared tostall, the president retreated to the residence,but returned quickly to the Oval Office whennews reports showed authorities closing in on19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.Shortly before 9 p.m., FBI Director Robert

Mueller relayed news of his capture to Obamacounterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco.“They have him in custody, it is white hat,”

Monaco quickly wrote in an email to the presi-dent’s chief of staff Denis McDonough, describ-ing the hat the youngerTsarnaevwaswearing inphotos released by the FBI.Just one day earlier, Obama had been in

Boston to speak at an interfaith service for thethree people killed andmore than 180 others in-jured in the blasts at the marathon’s finish line.Obama balanced sorrow with resolve as he

sought to console the grieving city. He saidBoston would “run again” and pledged to bringthe “small, stunted individuals” responsible forthe bombings to justice.

Prayer and waiting inTexas town rocked by blastBY PAUL J. WEBER

Associated Press

WEST, Texas (AP) — TheFirst Baptist Church in thetiny Texas town where a fer-tilizer plant exploded is stilloff-limits, so the Rev. JohnCrowder put folding chairs ina hay pasture and improviseda pulpit on a truck flatbed. Atthe elementary school, an of-ficial carted extra desks andchairs into the only publicschool campus that’s left.This was Sunday in West.

Four days after the blast thatkilled 14 people and injured200 others, residents prayedfor comfort and got ready forthe week ahead, some of themstill waiting to find out when— or if — they will be able togo back home.“We have lost our friends

and neighbors. We lost thesafety and comfort of ourhomes,” said Crowder, raisinghis voice over the whirr of hel-icopters surveying the nearbyrubble from overhead. “But asscary as this is, we don’t haveto be afraid.”The explosion at the West

Fertilizer Co. rocketed shrap-nel across several blocks andleft what assistant state firemarshal Kelly Kirstner de-scribed Sunday as “a largecrater.” A section of the flatfarming town near the crater,including Crowder’s church,is still behind barricades.One school campus was

obliterated, and on the eve of1,500 students returning toclass for the first time sinceWednesday’s blast, Superin-tendent Marty Crawford saidthe high school and middleschool could also be razed.Nearly 70 federal and state

investigators are still tryingto determine what caused the

fire that set off the explosion,Kirstner said. Authorities saythere are no signs of criminalintent.Robert Champion, the spe-

cial agent in charge for theDallas office of the federalBureau of Alcohol, Tobaccoand Firearms, said expertsplan to enter the crater in thenext few days and start dig-ging in search of an explana-tion.“It’s a slow process, but

we’re getting there,” Cham-

pion said.Slow is the normal way of

life in West. But the last sev-eral days for many of its 2,800residents have melded into ananguishing and frustratingstretch of wait-and-hear —whether about the safety offamily and friends, or the fateof their homes.Six firefighters and four

emergency medics wereamong the dead, and city offi-cials announced that a memo-rial service would be held

Thursday at Baylor Univer-sity.Professional organizations

and family and friends on Sun-day identified four of the firstresponders who died: brothersDoug and Robert Snokhous,whowere both firefighters withthe West Volunteer Fire De-partment; Jerry Chapman, afirefighter with the Abbott Vol-unteer Fire Department; andKevin Sanders, who workedwith West EMS and anotherarea volunteer fire department.

CLARKSVILLE, Mo. (AP)— Those fighting floods inseveral communities alongthe Mississippi River weremostly successful Sunday de-spite the onslaught of water,but an ominous forecast andthe growing accumulation ofsnow in the upper Midwesttempered any feelings of vic-tory.The surging Mississippi

was at or near crest at severalplaces from the Quad Citiessouth to near St. Louis —some reaching 10-12 feetabove flood stage. Problemswere plentiful: Hundreds of

thousands of acres ofswamped farmland as plant-ing season approaches; threepeople died; roads and bridgesclosed, including sections ofmajor highways like U.S. 61 inIowa and Missouri and cross-ings at Quincy, Ill., andLouisiana, Mo.The U.S. Coast Guard said

114 barges broke loose nearSt. Louis on Saturday night,and four hit the Jefferson Bar-racks Bridge in St. LouisCounty. The bridge was closedabout six hours for inspectionbut reopened around 8 a.m.Sunday. Most of the runaway

barges were corralled, but atleast 10 sank and two otherswere unaccounted for, CoastGuard Lt. Colin Fogarty said.Two of the confirmed flood-

related deaths occurred nearthe same spot in Indiana; an-other was in Missouri. In allthree cases, vehicles wereswept off the road in flashfloods. High water could be re-sponsible for two more, both inIllinois, where a decomposedbody was found Thursday inan Oak Brook creek and abody was found Saturday inthe Mississippi River at Cora.Investigations continue.

CASA Day in Ohio next weekThe Shelby County

CASA/GAL program hasrecognized April as themonth to increaseawareness of child abuseand April 30 as CASADay in Ohio.

CASA (Court Ap-pointed Special Advo-cates) programs trainvolunteers to representthe interests of abusedand neglected childrenin the court system. Thelocal agency will cele-brate on the Sidneycourtsquare from 11 a.m.to 1 p.m. April 30.

Hits 105.5 will broad-cast live during thosehours. Members of theSidney Fire Departmentwill grill hot dogs, whichwill be free to the public.

“CASA Day is an op-portunity to recognizethe difference that vol-unteer advocates makein the lives of abusedand neglected childrenand bring attention tothe critical needs ofthese children,” said

Bridget Davis, ShelbyCounty CASA director.Information about CASAwill be distributed andparticipants could winthe opportunity to throwa pie in the face of Davis,Sidney firefighter BradJones or Sidney police-man William Balling.

CASA volunteers aretrained communitymembers appointed bythe court to actively ad-vocate for a child’s bestinterest and the need fora safe, nurturing, perma-nent home. CASA volun-teers provide thoroughlyresearched informationabout a child’s circum-stances that help judgesmake sound decisionsabout the child’s caseand are a consistentpresence in a child’s life,serving until the child isplaced in a permanenthome.

Children with a CASAvolunteer are substan-tially less likely to spendtime in long-term foster

care, defined as morethan three years in care.A recent study revealedthat about 13 percent ofchildren who had CASAvolunteers were in fostercare for more than threeyears, compared to 27percent of children whohad no CASA volunteers.Additionally, childrenwith CASA volunteersare more likely to re-ceive the services theyneed and less likely tore-enter the foster caresystem.

In 2012, ShelbyCounty CASA recog-nized the dedication ofthe 23 CASA volunteerswho advocated for 110abused, neglected or de-pendent children.

The volunteers in2012 were Robin Banas,Beverly Bruns, SandyBundenthal, DanaeCockerham, BridgetDavis, Laurie Felder,Rhonda Forsythe, DustiFisher, Heather Fogt,Treva Hicks, Kathy

Iwanski, Reema Kamat,Christina Keller, GwenKing, Sue Krites, AnnaLong, Victor Meeks,Jerome Mestemaker,Susan Moloney, DaveNagel, Becky Puckett,Norm Smith and PaulaZimmerman. Thus far in2013, CASA has wel-comed Janice Fishbaughand Lori McLain as ac-tive volunteers.

Davis said, “CASAprograms in ShelbyCounty and across thestate call upon allOhioans to find learnhow they can make a dif-ference in the life of anabused and neglectedchild in their commu-nity.”

An information ses-sion has been scheduledfor May 1 at 3:30 p.m. inthe CASA office in theShelby County Court-house.

Dear Read-ers: Here isthis week’sSound Off,about speakingright awaywhen you callsomeone.

“My requestis that when aperson makes atelephone call,he or she beprepared tospeak whensomeone answers.WhenI answer the phone, Isay ‘Hello,’ then I pauseand listen. There isnothing on the otherend. I end up saying‘Hello’ maybe three orfour times before theperson speaks. This isespecially true of tele-marketing calls. Duringthe time I am waiting,all sorts of things runthrough my mind, like‘Has something hap-pened to a family mem-ber?’ This is not onlyannoying, but alsostressful. — A Reader inSan Antonio”

Of course Ican reprint it! This is agreat hint from mymother, the originalHeloise. To make thequick version, you willneed 1/2 yard of nylonnet — the 72-inch-widekind — dental floss orstrong nylon thread anda large needle. Cutthree 6-inch-by-72-inchstrips of the nylon netand lay them on top ofeach other. Using a longbasting stitch, sew themtogether down the mid-dle. Once at the end,hold the thread and pullthe netting so that itbunches up. Wrap thethread around the cen-ter of the bunch and tiea tight knot. Trim thethread ends. Separatethe layers of netting sothey make the shape ofa ball. — Heloise

YOU BORN TODAYYou are multitalented.You’re nurturing to lovedones and find helping oth-ers to be a rewarding ex-perience. Two areas areimportant to you: careerand family. You will shep-herd any project so that itfunctions in the best wayit possibly can.Make timein the coming year tostudy or learn somethingimportant. Your rewardssoon will follow.Birthdate of Shirley

DR. WAL-LACE: You tolda student thathe would bewasting histime trying toget a teacherfired by gettingfellow studentsto sign a peti-tion urging theschool adminis-trators to dis-miss herbecause she wasa terrible instructor.Are you not aware

that petitions are a non-violent way to accom-plish a goal? Thatstudent has every legaland moral right to dowhat he can to get an in-effective teacher fired.After all, if a teacher isnot effective, it’s the stu-dents who suffer. —Mary, Boston, Mass.

MARY: My problemwith complaining abouta teacher by petition isthat it means very little.Students are as likely todislike a teacher for fool-ish and immature rea-sons as they are for validones. For instance, teach-ers who are firm discipli-narians and demandthat their students workhard to earn good gradesare likely to be unpopu-lar, even though, in real-ity, they are terrificteachers.I do think students

have the right toseek redress ortry to get ateacher removedif he or she is,indeed, a “terri-ble” instructor.A far better tac-tic than a peti-tion drive is fora group of stu-dents to meetwith the princi-pal and have anopen and honest

discussion. That way theprincipal can evaluatethe nature of the com-plaints and make an in-formed decisionregarding the teacher’seffectiveness.

DR. WALLACE: A19-year-old daughterwas trying to discourageher 40-year-old mothernot to return to college toearn her teaching degreebecause she thought hermother was too old. Hur-ray for your answer that,indeed, her mother wasnot too old, and thatmom could become awonderful teacher be-cause she would have anabundance of life experi-ences to add to her for-mal college experiences.Life really does begin

at age 40! I earned mycollege degree and, atthe same time, earnedmy teaching credentialwhen I was 41. That was

my goal. I then taughtEnglish and geographyfor two years, duringwhich time I got a schoolcounselor’s license. Afterthat, I got an adminis-trator’s credential andwas a high school assis-tant principal for 10more years. During thattime, I learned to waterski, square dance, playan electric organ, and Ialso traveled throughthe United States, Eu-rope, Asia and Africa. Atage 86, I am still havinga great life! — Eleanor,Riverside, Calif.

ELEANOR: Congrat-ulations on your excitingand wonderful life. I ama firm believer that ifpeople have the determi-nation to succeed, theycan reach their goals.You are living proof!Continue to have yourgreat life. You earned it!

Dealing with pilonidal cysts

Mom wants ex-husband to watch son play sports

DEAR DR.ROACH: The ar-ticle about theboy sufferingafter surgery forthree years froma pilonidal cystreally hit home.My son developeda pilonidal cyst inJune 2012 andalso had a verybad infectionfrom it. The sur-geon refused tooperate while hewas infected. The cystwas just gross— somuchblood and other yuck. Fi-nally, the surgeon gaveup and operated at theend of September sincewe couldn’t get rid of theinfection.He had to cut out a lot

of tissue in order to notcut across anything in-fected. For a month, he

was healinggreat. Then twomore holes ap-peared. We wereheartbroken —my 17-year-oldson, having whatprobably seemedlike everyonelooking at his pri-vate area, unableto heal and un-able to cycle orswim.The reason I’m

writing is toplease ask you to pass onwhat finally helped himheal: laser hair removal!The surgeon told us thatevery “problem” patienthe had sent for hair re-moval had finally healed,and it truly has been ablessing. By the time hehad his second laser ses-sion (two months), it wasobvious that the wounds

were closing up.We werethere today for the fourthsession, and they areclosed up! Removing thehair made all the differ-ence in the world!Now we hope our son

will be able to get back tohis chosen sport — cy-cling! Please pass this on!— M.S.

ANSWER: Thank youfor passing on this help-ful information. I havereceived a great deal ofmail about this topic, solet me explain a little bitmore about pilonidalcysts.“Pilonidal” means

“nest of hair,” and a cystis just a fluid-filled sac.They are most commonlyfound at the base of thespine, just above orwithin the cleft of thebuttocks. Prolonged sit-ting and sweating seem

to predispose some togetting this condition.Hair is commonly a

problem with pilonidalcysts, with hair and de-bris often found by thesurgeon at the time of re-moval. They can becomeinfected, and manytimes, this is how theyare discovered. Onereader, a nurse, foundcrystals inside a pilonidalcyst and had successwith Regranex, a medica-tion used to help heal di-abetic ulcers. Anotherreader recommended asurgeon who performed asurgery called a “cleft lift”procedure,which reducesrisk of recurrence.The Pilonidal Support

Alliance offers a wealthof information and sup-port. You can find it onthe Web at www.pi-lonidal.org.

DEAR ABBY:My 14-year-oldson, “Nils,” re-cently joined asport he reallyenjoys. His step-dad and I are atevery practice,helping thecoaches andcoaching my sonalong.Nils recently

commented tome that he wouldlike it if his father couldcome and see him prac-tice. I took it upon my-self, as I usually do, tocall my ex, “John,” andsuggest he make an ap-pearance because itwould make our sonhappy.My husband, who has

been a wonderful step-dad to Nils for 13 yearsnow, told me I shouldleave it alone. He said ifJohn was a “real” father,he would just show upwithout being asked.

When thingslike this happen,should I leave italone, or should Iask John to be in-volved more thanhe tries to be? Itell my ex aboutall of our son’sactivities andsometimes hejust doesn’t show.— TRYING TOBE A GOODMOM

DEAR TRYING: Notknowing your formerhusband, I can’t guesshis reason for not com-ing to your son’s prac-tices, particularly if hesaid he was going to at-tend. John may be irre-sponsible, or he mayhave unforeseen sched-uling conflicts. By tellinghim about your son’s ac-tivities and letting himknow his presence iswanted, you have doneyour job as a conscien-tious mother. At 14, Nils

is old enough to also callhis father and invitehim. The rest is up toyour ex.

DEAR ABBY: In ref-erence to the letter fromthe man who was con-stantly setting off “gay-dar” alarms in females(March 10), I would liketo share my experience.I dated and then mar-

ried a man who incor-rectly set off MY“gaydar.” It had nothingto do with his manner-isms, his speech or ap-pearance. It was hisextreme personal insecu-rity regarding datingand making friends. Inaddition, “Mr. Not-Gay”could neither read norwrite, which caused evenmore emotional insecu-rity.After we had been

married 10 years he be-came physically disabledand we had to move. Noone in our new city took

him for gay, even with-out me and without awedding ring on him. Hedivorced me at 62 be-cause the 30-somethinghome-care aides lookedbetter, but that’s anotherstory. — MARCIA INPENNSYLVANIA

DEAR MARCIA: Ihope you will writeagain and tell us the restof the story, as I’m sureI’m not the only personwho would be interestedin reading it. I agree thatindividuals who are un-comfortable with them-selves sometimes emitvibes that make othersuncomfortable because Ihave experienced it. Butthis subject does high-light the absurdity ofgay stereotypes. Becausea man is slight, soft-spo-ken and a meticulousdresser does not meanhe is gay, any more thanit means a man who isfat, sloppy and loud isstraight.

Reds win with 8-run 7thCINCINNATI (AP) —

Among the few people not con-cerned with Joey Votto’shome-run drought were thefirst baseman and his Cincin-nati Reds teammates.Votto seems to be getting

hot and shaking off his poweroutage. He homered and gotthree hits for the secondstraight day, and the Cincin-nati Reds beat the MiamiMarlins 10-6 Sunday for theirsixth win in last sevengames.Votto missed 48 games last

season with a knee injury, andhis April 14 homer againstPittsburgh was his first sinceJune 24. He’s homered inback-to-back games for thefirst time since Sept. 10-11,2011, at Colorado.“Before I got hurt, I had 14

home runs,” Votto said. “If I’mnot hitting home runs, I canhelp win games in other ways.I don’t feel obligated to hithome runs to quell people’sconcerns. Is quell the rightword?”Votto is 7 for 11 in his last

two games, raising his battingaverage to .328 and his on-base percentage to .522. The2010 NL MVP, Votto reached24 homers in four of his previ-ous five full seasons. “Manager Dusty Baker said

he had faith Votto’s powerwould return.“I told you he was going to

hit,” Baker said. “Everybodywas more worried than wewere. Water seeks its ownlevel. If you can hit, you’ll hit.You don’t just stop hitting.”Brandon Phillips drove in

the go-ahead run for the sec-

ond straight day and ToddFrazier hit a three-run doublein an eight-run seventh in-ning for the Reds, who wonthree of four from the Marlinsand improved to a majorleague-best 10-3 at home.After trading most of their

best players in an offseasonpayroll purge, the Marlinshave the worst record in thebig leagues at 4-15 — thepoorest 19-game start in teamhistory.With the score 2-2, Choo

drew Cincinnati’s fifth walkoff Alex Sanabia (2-2), whoalso hit Choo with a pair ofpitches. Singles by XavierPaul and Votto loaded thebases, and Phillips had an

RBI single against Jon Rauch.Paul scored when right fielderGiancarlo Stanton bobbledthe ball for an error.Phillips had a game-ending

sacrifice fly in the 13th inningof Saturday’s 3-2 win.Devin Mesoraco added an

RBI single, Frazier hit abases-loaded double off theright-field wall for an 8-2 lead,Choo followed with an RBIdouble and Paul greeted TomKoehler with a run-scoring,ground-rule double thatbounced into the right fieldstands and back onto thefield.Logan Ondrusek (1-0)

struck out the side in the sev-enth to win in relief of Homer

Bailey, who allowed two runsand seven hits in six inningswith eight strikeouts andthree walks.Sanabia (2-2) gave up five

runs and five hits in six in-nings. Marlins manager MikeRedmond’s bullpen optionswere limited after using sixrelievers Saturday.“Sanabia knew the situa-

tion,” Redmond said. “Yester-day’s game took a lot out ofour pitching staff. I thoughthe pitched a great game. If wehad the lead, we would haveprobably pitched it differently.Rauch was our only fresharm.We had to bring him intoa tough situation.”Miguel Olivo, who spent

most of spring training as anon-roster player with theReds before signing withMiami, hit a pinch three-runhomer off Manny Parra in afour-run ninth.Votto didn’t need to wait

long to flash his rediscoveredpower, homering in the firstinning on the first pitch hesaw in the game.“He’s such a good hitter,”

Frazier said. “That’s the kindof stuff we talk about — try-ing to get your energy backand your swing going.”Chris Valaika’s had a tying

single in the second.The Redswent back ahead in the fifthwhen Bailey beat out an in-field hit on a dribbler up thethird-base line and scoredfrom second when Votto sin-gled and center fielderJustin Ruggiano overran

the ball for an error. Valaikahad another tying single inthe sixth.

KYLE BUSCH (18) and Joey Logano (22) wreckduring a NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at

Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., Sunday.Matt Kenseth won the race.

KANSAS CITY, Kan.(AP) — Matt Kensethknew that he had afront-running car Sun-day.It was simply a mat-

ter of getting there.So when a caution

flag came out with sev-eral leaders on pit road,and Kenseth found him-self leading the pack intothe pits, he had a feelingthings were going hisway.“That was the key,” he

would say later.Kenseth won the race

off pit road after takingtwo tires under caution,and a No. 20 Toyota thathad been strong all dayslowly pulled away.Kasey Kahne trimmedinto the lead once hemoved into second, butKenseth managed toblock every move hetried to make.Kahne pulled along-

side him entering Turn 4with the white flag fly-ing, but Kenseth pulledback ahead along thefront stretch and thencruised to the win atKansas Speedway.“When it was in front,

we knew it was reallyfast,” Kenseth said after

his second straight winat the track. “And if wecould get out there first,we’d be tough to beat.”It was the third

straight win from thepole in the Sprint Cupseries.Jimmie Johnson did it

two weeks ago at Mar-tinsville, and Kyle Buschdid the same last week-end at Texas. The lasttime three straight win-ners came from the polewas in 1985, when BillElliott and Dale Earn-hardt combined to do itat Michigan, Bristol andDarlington.“The fastest car is

supposed to win, right?That’s what racing isabout,” Kenseth said. “Ithink it’s a little bit of acoincidence, the waythings worked out.”Points leader Johnson

finished third with a carthat kept getting betterduring long, green flagruns. Martin Truex Jr.came home in fourth andClint Bowyer was fifth.“Matt’s good. He al-

ways has been,” Johnsonsaid. “He impresses mein his ability to lead theteam,make adjustmentson the car, and his

knowledge of the car, butmost importantly, insidethe car, and finding a lit-tle bit more. The guy cando it.”So can Brad Ke-

selowski, who put a pos-itive spin on an uglyweek for Penske Racing.Keselowski picked up

some minor damage tothe rear of his car earlyin the race, and fell a lapdown when he was slowgetting off pit road undercaution. The damagekept getting worse asthe laps ticked along,and eventually a hugepiece of his rear endripped off.The No. 2 team man-

aged to get it fixed upenough, and Keselowskislowly picked off posi-tions in the waning lapsto finish a hearteningsixth after a frustratingweek.Penske Racing is ap-

pealing heavy sanctionshanded down byNASCAR after an unap-proved rear-end housingwas found on its two carslast week at Texas. Thepenalties include six-race suspensions forseven-crew members, in-cluding both crew chiefs,

$200,000 in fines and 25-point penalties.The date of the appeal

hasn’t been set, allowingboth teams to arrive infull at Kansas.“Usually you’re not

happy unless you win,”Keselowski said, “butyou know, a day whereyou can fight throughadversity like we didtoday and get a solid fin-ish, that’s kind of is awin.”Logano didn’t have

the same chipper feeling.He was struggling to

find speed when Buschgot in trouble along thewall, shot down to theapron of the track andsmacked into his No. 22Ford in a devastatinghead-to-head collision.The wreck knocked bothcars out of the race andleft debris scattered allover the asphalt.“What was going

through my mind? ‘Thisis going to hurt,’” Loganosaid. “I was committed togoing by him on the bot-tom at that point and assoon as a committed to ithe started heading downthe race track. At thatpoint I was just kind ofscrewed.”

In 1963, former Senator GaylordNelson began to worry about our plan-et. (A senator is a person that the peo-ple of the United States have chosen tohelp make the laws.) Senator Nelsonknew that our world was getting dirtyand that many of our plants and ani-mals were dying.

He wondered why more peopleweren't trying to solve these problems.He talked to other lawmakers and to thepresident. They decided that the presi-dent would go around the country andtell people about these concerns. Hedid, but still not enough people wereworking on the problem.Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had

another idea. He decided to have a spe-cial day to teach everyone about thethings that needed changing in ourenvironment. He wrote letters to all ofthe colleges and put a special article inScholastic Magazine to tell them aboutthe special day he had planned. (Mostof the schools got this magazine and heknew that kids would help him.)On April 22, 1970, the first Earth

Day was held. People all over the coun-try made promises to help the environ-ment. Everyone got involved and sincethen, Earth Day has spread all over theplanet. People all over the world know

that there are problems we need towork on and this is our special day tolook at the planet and see what needschanging. Isn't it great?One person had an idea and kept

working until everyone began workingtogether to solve it. See what happenswhen people care about our world?
