WASHINGTON (AP) — Thespending cuts are here to stay ifyou believe the public posturingSunday.The Senate’s Republican

leader Mitch McConnell calledthem modest. House SpeakerJohn Boehner isn’t sure the cutswill hurt the economy. The WhiteHouse’s top economic adviser,Gene Sperling, said the pain isn’tthat bad right now.So after months of dire warn-

ings, Washington didn’t implode,

government didn’t shut down andthe $85 billion budget trigger did-n’t spell doom. And no one has atangible proposal for rolling backthose cuts.“This modest reduction of 2.4

percent in spending over the nextsix months is a little more thanthe average American experi-enced just two months ago, whentheir own pay went down whenthe payroll tax holiday expired,”McConnell said.“I don’t know whether it’s

going to hurt the economy or not,”Boehner said. “I don’t think any-one quite understands how thesequester is really going to work.”And Sperling, making the

rounds on the Sunday newsshows, added: “On Day One, itwill not be as harmful as it will beover time.”Both parties cast blame on the

other for the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts but gavelittle guidance on what to expectin the coming weeks. Republicans

and Democrats pledged toretroactively undo the cuts butsignaled no hints as to how thatprocess would start to take shape.Republicans insisted there wouldbe no new taxes and Democratsrefused to talk about any bargainwithout them.“That’s not going to work,” said

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. “If we’regoing to increase revenue again,it’s got to go to the debt with realentitlement reform and real taxreform when you actually lowerrates. … I’m not going to agree toany more tax increases that are

Janie Hershberger believes ifevery person gave a little of them-selves to volunteering, the worldwould be a much better place.So, Hershberger practices what

she preaches by volunteering asmuch as she can at Health PartnersFree Clinic.Hershberger said she is willing to

do whatever is needed at the clinic— from using her nursing skills tohelp patients to inputing informa-tion into the computer system. Shesaid there is no lack of work to bedone by volunteers.“There is something for every-

body to do,” Hershberger said. “I’mnot picky. I’ll do it all. It makes youthink outside your box.“Many hands makes the load

lighter,” she added.Health Partners Free Clinic

Executive Director Justin Coby saidhe appreciates volunteers likeHershberger, who make the clinic asuccess.“The volunteers like Janie that

heroically give of themselves contin-ue to drive our mission here atHealth Partners. Over 100 volun-teers donate time to our organiza-tion every year and we wish wecould give them all the recognitionthat they deserve,” Coby said.“These volunteers save lives everyday and have no clue the impactthey make upon the community.”Hershberger, of Troy, a registered

nurse who graduated with Edison’sfirst nursing class, said she learnedabout Health Partners when they

were working from Dettmer’s base-ment. She said she did her commu-nity clinical work through HealthPartners, and the organization’scause — to provide free medical careto under- and uninsured MiamiCounty residents — has alwaysbeen of interest to her.“I just enjoy it,” said Hershberger,

who went on to get her bachelor’sdegree in nursing from FranklinUniversity. “The time goes reallyfast. The patients are very apprecia-tive and the staff are a lot of fun. Ilike helping people. If everyonewould give just four hours a monthto volunteering, it would make sucha difference.”

Hershberger, who works forUVMC in outpatient surgery at theHyatt Center in Tipp City, has beenmarried to her husband Bill for 30years. They reside in Troy and havea dairy farm.“So, I’m milking cows in the

morning a lot of times,” she said,laughing.In their spare time, the couple

enjoy spending time with their fami-ly, including sons Joshua, Lucas andJacob, who lives on her parents’farm with his wife, Alicia, and theirtwo children, Emma and Ella.They also own a fifth-wheel

camper and enjoy traveling with agroup of friends. Last year, theycamped their way to YellowstoneNational Park and back.“I have no desire to travel outside

the U.S.,” Hershberger said. “Thereis too much to see here.”And, volunteering to come

back to.

Who should be evaluated and screened for colon cancer, and how often?

All males and females over age 50 should be evaluated and screened for colon cancer (all African Americans over age 45).

A colonoscopy every 10 years is the most effective method of screening.

Patients with a history of colon polyps, colon cancer, or colon cancer in a family member should undergo more frequent screening.

(Screening tests are covered by Medicare and most health insurers.)

FACT Colorectal cancer is highly preventable, treatable and often curable.

Colonoscopy can help detectand remove colon polyps before they become cancer.

The Continuum of Careis a group made up of con-cerned citizens, county offi-cials, service providers andformer homeless people. Itwas created in 1996 by theFamily Abuse Shelter inresponse to a HUD initia-tive.

According to HUD’s offi-cial website, the point-in-time count is a one-nightcount of each continuum’ssheltered and unshelteredhomeless populations,more than 3,000 across thenation. These one-night‘snapshot’ counts are thenreported to HUD as part ofstate and local grant appli-cations. Holman said theforms used by surveyorsasked for participants’ gen-der, age, subpopulation(individual, family, veteran,mentally ill, substanceabuse, HIV/AIDS, domesticviolence, disability), race,description of their house-hold, ethnicity and locationwhere the person is living.It also asked how long theperson has been homelessand if they have receivedany help in the past suchas food stamps, food bank,emergency shelter, pre-scription assistance, coun-seling, etc.

The count occurred thisyear on Jan. 22 andrevealed a total of 61 men,women and children inMiami County were consid-ered “literally homeless.”Of those 61 individuals, 53were sheltered, or thosestaying in emergency shel-ters such as the FamilyAbuse Shelter House ortransitional housing likethe Miami CountyRecovery Council.

Additionally, eight per-sons were found to beunsheltered, or those livingin places such as cars, tentsand abandoned buildings,among others.

Respondents wereasked to indicate the coun-ty where they last livedbefore becoming homelessand 92 percent indicatedthat their last permanentresidence was in MiamiCounty.

Troy saw the highestnumber of respondentswith 45 percent followed byPiqua with 30 percent.Other previous residences

included other areas ofMiami County, ShelbyCounty, Dayton andMichigan.

Continuum of Caremembers also discussedthe biggest changes fromthe 2012 Point in Timecount. The number ofhomeless personsincreased from 47 to 61, or23 percent. In addtion, theaverage age of homelessand at-risk childrenincreased from 4 to 10.Furthermore, a significantnumber of individuals citedfelony records, recent dis-charge from jail/prison andcurrent incarceration ascontributing to their home-less and at-risk situations.

While the number ofhomeless personsincreased slightly, thenumber of individuals con-sidered at-risk, or thosewho are not permanentlyhoused or in serious risk oflosing stable housing,jumped from 33 in 2012 to127 in 2013, or 75 percent.Such persons could includethose temporarily livingwith family members orfriends or individuals whoare behind on their rent ormortgages.

All individuals whowere considered at-riskwere from Miami Countyand job loss was cited asthe main factor along withmental illness and lowwage on the job.

The count also revealedthat only 41 percent of at-risk individuals were uti-lizing a food bank or soupkitchen. A total of 33 per-cent were receiving subsi-dized housing assistanceand 6 percent were utiliz-ing support services suchas budgeting, job searchand life skills.

“When you look at thenumbers that are at-risk,people aren’t really using awhole lot of the servicesthat they might be eligibleto be receiving,” Holmansaid.

Through theHomelessness CrisisResponse Program dis-persed through the stateand the Ohio DevelopmentServices Agency, MiamiCounty will receive$60,000 in funding for2013.

The monies will be usedto provide case manage-ment services and to helphomeless and at-riskhouseholds obtain andmaintain permanent hous-ing.

“Through theContinuum of Care we willbe working to address theneeds of several key popu-lations — victims of domes-tic violence, chronic sub-stance abusers and singlemen, as they continue to bethe most underserved pop-ulations in our county andcontinue to be key popula-tions during the homelesscounts,” Holman said.

The Miami CountyContinuum of Care willmeet again at 9 a.m. May17.

High Principal Allen Mackexplained how the stu-dents went above andbeyond state expectationson the Ohio AcademicAssessment tests.

“Our staff was reallyexcited to get this award,”Mack said. “Project SOARbasically recognizes thatthe students achievedmore than a year’s growthon the state tests.”

As a district, MiamiEast also received theProject SOAR award inNovember at a presenta-tion in Columbus.

going to go to increasemore government.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham,R-S.C., said any taxincreases were unaccept-able.

“I’m not going to do anymore small deals. I’m notgoing to raise taxes to fixsequestration. We don’tneed to raise taxes to fundthe government,” Grahamsaid.

All of this comes aheadof a new, March 27 dead-line that could spell a gov-ernment shutdown and adebt-ceiling clash comingin May.

Boehner said his cham-ber would move this weekto pass a measure to keepgovernment open through

Sept. 30. McConnell said agovernment shutdown wasunlikely to come from hisside of Capitol Hill. TheWhite House said it woulddodge the shutdown androll back the cuts, which hitdomestic and defensespending in equal share.

“We will still be commit-ted to trying to findRepublicans andDemocrats that will workon a bipartisan compro-mise to get rid of thesequester,” Sperling said.Obama has phoned law-

makers but it isn’t clear towhat end; the White Houserefused Sunday to releasethe names of lawmakersObama phoned. Boehnerand McConnell said theyhad a productive meetingwith Obama on Friday, but

it didn’t yield a deal.“Well, no one can think

that that’s been a successfor the president,” saidMitt Romney, Obama’sunsuccessful rival inNovember’s election. “Hedidn’t think the sequesterwould happen. It is hap-pening.”Obama and the

Republicans have beenfighting over federalspending since the opposi-tion party regained controlof the House ofRepresentatives in the2010 midterm elections.The budget cuts weredesigned in 2011 to be soruthless that both sideswould be forced to find abetter deal, but theyhaven’t despite two years tofind a compromise.

See if you can find and circle the words listed.They are hidden in the puzzle vertically, horizontally anddiagonally — some are even spelled backwards.

What are clouds?A cloud is a large collection of very tiny

droplets of water or ice crystals. Thedroplets are so small and light that they canfloat in the air.

How are clouds formed?All air contains water, but near the

ground it is usually in the form of an invisi-ble gas called water vapor.When warm airrises, it expands and cools. Cool air can'thold as much water vapor as warm air, sosome of the vapor condenses onto tinypieces of dust that are floating in the airand forms a tiny droplet around each dustparticle.When billions of these dropletscome together they become a visible cloud.

Why are clouds white?Clouds are white because they reflect

the light of the sun. Light is made up of col-ors of the rainbow and when you add themall together you get white. The sun appearsa yellow color because it sends out moreyellow light than any other color. Cloudsreflect all the colors the exact same amountso they look white.

Why do clouds turn gray?Clouds are made up of tiny water

droplets or ice crystals, usually a mixture ofboth. The water and ice scatter all light,making clouds appear white. If the cloudsget thick enough or high enough all thelight above does not make it through,hence the gray or dark look. Also, if thereare lots of other clouds around, their shad-ow can add to the gray or multicolored grayappearance.

Why do clouds float?A cloud is made up of liquid water

droplets. A cloud forms when air is heatedby the sun. As it rises, it slowly cools itreaches the saturation point and water con-denses, forming a cloud. As long as thecloud and the air that its made of is warmerthan the outside air around it, it floats!

How do clouds move?Clouds move with the wind. High cirrus

clouds are pushed along by the jet stream,sometimes traveling at more than 100 milesper hour.When clouds are part of a thun-derstorm, they usually travel at 30 to 40mph.Why do clouds form at different heights

in the atmosphere?The characteristics of clouds are dictat-

ed by the elements available, including theamount of water vapor, the temperatures atthat height, the wind and the interplay ofother air masses.

How is fog formed?There are many different types of fog,

but fog is mostly formed when southerlywinds bring warm, moist air into a region,possibly ending a cold outbreak. As thewarm, moist air flows over much colder soilor snow, dense fog often forms.Warm,moist air is cooled from below as it flowsover a colder surface. If the air is near satu-ration, moisture will condense out of thecooled air and form fog.With light winds,the fog near the ground can become thickand reduce visibilities to zero.

Cirrus CloudsCirrus clouds are the most common of

the high clouds. They are composed of iceand are thin, wispy clouds blown in highwinds into long streamers. Cirrus cloudsare usually white and predict fair to pleas-ant weather. By watching the movement ofcirrus clouds you can tell from which direc-tion weather is approaching.When you seecirrus clouds, it usually indicates that achange in the weather will occur within 24hours.

Clouds

Cloud In A BottleMATERIALS:2-liter clear plastic pop bottlematches (children will need adult assistance to light matches)warm water

PROCESS:Fill the clear plastic 2-liter bottle one-third full of warm water and

place the cap on. As warm water evaporates, it adds water vapor to theair inside the bottle. This is the first ingredient to make a cloud.Squeeze and release the bottle and observe what happens.You’ll

notice that nothing happens.Why? The squeeze represents the warmingthat occurs in the atmosphere. The release represents the cooling thatoccurs in the atmosphere. If the inside of the bottle becomes coveredwith condensation or water droplets, just shake the bottle to get rid ofthem.Take the cap off the bottle. Carefully light a match and hold the match

near the opening of the bottle.Then drop the match in the bottle and quickly put on the cap, trap-

ping the smoke inside. Dust, smoke or other particles in the air is thesecond ingredient to make a cloud.Once again, slowly squeeze the bottle hard and release.What hap-

pens? A cloud appears when you release and disappears when yousqueeze. The third ingredient in clouds is a drop in air pressure.

EXPLANATION:Water vapor, water in its invisible gaseous state, can be made to con-

dense into the form of small cloud droplets. By adding particles such asthe smoke enhances the process of water condensation and by squeez-ing the bottle causes the air pressure to drop. This creates a cloud!

Green clouds are often associated with severe weather.The green color is not completelyunderstood, but it is thought to have something to do with having a high amount of liq-uid water drops and hail inside the clouds. In the Great Plains region of the U.S., greenclouds are associated with storms likely to produce hail and tornadoes.

London EveningStandard on North Korea:

North Korea’s latestnuclear weapons test was notunexpected, after weeks ofbellicose talk, but it is deeplyworrying and destabilizingfor peace in the region. Ithighlights not only the risksto peace posed by the isolatedStalinist state but those ofnuclear proliferation.

North Korea’s develop-ment of nuclear warheadsand of rocket technologyshows that such advancesare becoming easier; it alsohas an alliance of sorts with

Iran. The problem is how torespond to the latest develop-ment.

North Korea is alreadysubject to strict sanctions,which have little effect givenits commitment to economicautarchy and its regime’swillingness to impose direconditions on its people.

Even previous thaws inrelations, where the US bar-gained food aid for talks,never led to actual disarma-ment.

It is possible more pres-sure could be brought to bearthrough the international

financial and insuranceindustries, targeting NorthKorean ships. But the onlyreal chance for change is ifChina, its main ally, can bepersuaded to take a harderline.

Beijing has been outragedby Pyongyang’s provocativebehavior and has condemnedthe latest test but it fearsinstability if there were achallenge to the regime. Yethaving a neighbor this dan-gerous and unpredictable ishardly in China’s interests: itmust try to rein in this roguestate.

DOONESBURY

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The way North Korea sees it, onlybigger weapons and more threatening provocations will forceWashington to come to the table to discuss what Pyongyang says itreally wants: peace.

It’s no coincidence that North Korea’s third underground nucleartest and by all indications so far its most powerful yet took place onthe eve of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

As perplexing as the tactic may seem to the outside world, itserves as an attention-getting reminder to the world that NorthKorea may be poor but has the power to upset regional security andstability.

And the response to its latest provocation was immediate.“The danger posed by North Korea’s threatening activities war-

rants further swift and credible action by the international communi-ty,” Obama said in a statement hours after the test. “The UnitedStates will also continue to take steps necessary to defend ourselvesand our allies.” The United Nations, Japan and South Korea alsoresponded with predictable anger. Even China, North Korea’sstaunchest ally, summoned the North Korean ambassador to theForeign Ministry for a rare dressing down.

All this puts young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his cir-cle of advisers right where they want to be: at the center of controver-sy and the focus of foreign policy.

A year into his nascent leadership, he is referring to his father’splaybook to try forcing a change on North Korea policy in capitalcities across the region mostly notably in the U.S.

The intent in Pyongyang is to get Washington to treat North Korealike an equal, a fellow nuclear power. The aim of the nuclear and mis-sile tests is not to go to war with the United States notwithstandingits often belligerent statements but to force Washington to respect itssovereignty and military clout.

During his 17-year rule, late North Korean leader Kim Jong Ilpoured scarce resources into Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile pro-grams to use as bargaining chips in negotiations with Washington,Seoul and Tokyo. At the same time, he sought to build unity at homeby pitching North Korea’s defiance as a matter of national pride aswell as military defense.

North Korea has long cited the U.S. military presence on theKorean Peninsula, and what it considers a nuclear umbrella in theregion, as the main reason behind its need for nuclear weapons.North Korea and the U.S. fought on opposite sides of the bitter, three-year Korean War. That conflict ended in a truce in 1953, and left thepeninsula divided by heavily fortified buffer zone manned by the U.S.-led U.N. Command.

Sixty years after the armistice, North Korea has pushed for apeace treaty with the U.S. But when talks fail, as they have for nearlytwo decades, the North Koreans turn to speaking with their weapons.

With each missile and nuclear test, experts say North Korea is get-ting closer to building the arsenal it feels it needs to challengeWashington to change what it considers a “hostile” policy toward thelongtime foe.

In 2008, after years of negotiations led by China, North Koreaagreed to stop producing plutonium and blew up its main reactornorthwest of the capital.

But in 2009, just months after Obama took office for his first term,Pyongyang fired long-range rocket carrying a satellite, earning U.N.condemnation and sanctions that North Korea accused Washington ofinitiating. In protest, Pyongyang conducted its second nuclear testand revealed it had a second way to make atomic bombs: by enrichinguranium.

At the risk of taking a veryunpopular view, I would like todedicate today’s column to theUnited States Postal Service, forwhich I have a great affection.

While it has become increasing-ly trendy to poke fun at the entiresystem, it seems to me the servic-es of the USPS are the last bar-gain in a bloated government.

True, the price of stamps is edg-ing towards that two-for-a-dollarmark. But look at what you get fortoday’s rate of 46 cents.

For a more modest investmentthan a cup of coffee, anyone withthe inclination can fill four sheetsof 8 1/2-by-11 with words or draw-ings, put them into an envelopeand send them clear across thecountry.

Flipping shut the hinged dooron the tamper-proof slot can beaccomplished with fairly greatconfidence those sheets of paperwill arrive at their destinationwithin a reasonable period of time.

If the object of your letter hasmoved or is otherwise absent, thepost office will either forward theletter to them or return it to you.Frankly, I don’t see how they do it.

After your precious manifestohas disappeared into the bowels ofa letter box, someone has toretrieve it and put it somewheresafe. Someone else has to decipheryour handwriting to determine

where exactly you’d like the mes-sage to go. (The USPS must be theworld’s biggest fan of the homeprinter.) Then they have to get itthere. More and more of the job isautomated, of course. That doesn’tdiminish its worth.

In a world gone cuckoo overTwitter and tweeting and textingand trash talk, it’s immenselyreassuring to see the blue-clad let-ter carrier hand-delivering thewritten word. And please do notdistain the written word. Whoreading this does not welcomesolid, tangible, paper proof thatsomeone somewhere took the timeto remember them? First classmail really is first class.

Within our little town, the lettercarriers make their roundsMonday through Saturday (moreon that later) at an admirablepace.

It’s a beautiful, bucolic picture

right out of a Norman Rockwellpainting. Trees budding, grassgreening, neighborhood childrenplaying in a warming sun. And inthe background, a USPS envoyreliably bringing the mail. Does itseem criminal to you these peopleare being paid good money just towalk around (getting their dailyworkout while on the clock!!!) andchat with your neighbors?

Picture the same scene aboutfour weeks ago. The beautifulbucolic picture now resemblessomething from the gulag. Treesaren’t budding, they’re groaningunder a load of ice and snow.

For all we know the grass mightbe green but it’s hidden under 18inches of snow.

If any neighborhood kid hasventured out into this mess, hesure isn’t warmed by anythingexcept the 10 layers of clothes hismom stuffed him into.

The sun is a weak waterysphere in a milky sky and rarelymakes more than a cursoryappearance.

But in the background, theUSPS envoy is still trudging alongreliably bringing the mail exceptnow they’re doing it while climb-ing over hummocks of piled snowand slipping on the ice.

Oh, and how about when itrains? Have you ever witnessedpeople trying to park at the mall

when it’s raining? They will circlea parking lot, burning $4 a gallongas just a find a spot 10 feet closerto the door. They will sit idling,obstructing traffic, if they see acar with back-up lights on.

It resembles nothing so much ashyenas waiting their turn at agazelle carcass. Then they pounce,still hyena-like except no self-respecting hyena would snarl up aparking lot full of cars, and woebetide to anyone who tries to take“their” gazelle. I mean parkingspace. It’s not pretty.

We live out in the boondocks.Our mail is delivered by a verynice person driving a car. Thisvery nice person delivers the mailin her car when the roads aretreacherous.

She delivers the mail when it’scold or raining and she has tohave her window down and it’smiserable. She delivers the mailand is friendly and smiling andcourteous while she does it. Allfor 46 cents a letter.

The latest consumer complaintis that mail delivery on Saturdaywill cease in August. The postalservice is in trouble and it is look-ing for a way to cut costs. So be it.It's still a bargain.

MENUS

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio’s prison chief has rec-ommended the release offive inmates who haveserved 80 percent of theirtime.The recommendations,if approved, would mark thefirst use of a 2011 lawmeant to help reduce the

state’s inmate populationand save the state money.Director Gary Mohr of

the Department ofRehabilitation andCorrection cited several rea-sons, including good behav-ior, for his recommendationsin letters to judges, who

have the final say. He alsoconsidered informationfrom prison employees whoare go-betweens with theprisons, the courts and theinmates. The five inmatestwo women and three menare serving time mostly forlow-level felonies, althoughone was convicted of aggra-vated vehicular homicide.Prisons spokeswoman

JoEllen Smith said the 80percent release optionencourages inmates to actresponsibly in prison “and issignificant in our effort tobetter communicate withcourts and assist the eligi-ble, suitable offenders inhaving a successful transi-tion back into our communi-ties.”

Prison chief recommends inmate release

Dear Readers: Here is thisweek’s sound off, about grocery-store cashiers and packers:“Typically there are employees

in the grocery store who pack thegroceries while the cashier ringsup the items. However, these’packers’ are often called awayfor other things. When the packeris called away, I take over packingto help the cashier, and usuallythe cashier starts packing withme, or the packer returns. Thistime, not only did the cashier nothelp me pack, but she stoppedringing up items to allow me tocatch up with the packing beforeshe started again, and she justwatched me. Unbelievable! Also,when I left, she never even

thanked me for helping!— CindyD., via email”Cindy, please pause a moment

to take a deep breath. The cashierprobably didn’t mean to be rude,but was just very busy and con-centrating on her job. I’ve alsohelped pack my groceries whenpackers are not available, and Ijust figure I also can get out

quicker.— HeloisePRESERVING PAGESDear Heloise: I would like the

formula for newspaper thatbleaches the paper but not theprint. Part of the formula con-tained milk of magnesia. I do nothave a copy machine.— Leonain Metairie, La.This is one of my mother’s

hints (the original Heloise 1919-1977). It might not REMOVE theyellow from old newspaper clip-pings, but it should help preserveany new ones you have. Make asolution of liquid milk of magne-sia and club soda: Mix 2 table-spoons of milk of magnesia and32 ounces of club soda.Once mixed, put the solution

in the refrigerator for eight hours(this step is very important — donot skip!).Next, put the solution in a

shallow pan. Soak each clippingfor one hour (one clipping at atime).Carefully remove and put each

clipping in between layers ofwhite paper towels (white, notcolored or with designs). Allow todry on a flat surface.Newspapers are not made with

the same paper they once were, soyour results may vary. Your bestbet is to try to copy or scan theclippings.If you don’t have a computer

or copier, try one of the copy andprint stores.— Heloise

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I'm 18, and myparents recently went through amessy divorce. First my mommoved out. Then my dad movedout a month later because Momdidn't want him living in ourhouse. She wanted to move backin.

I have an older sister and ayounger brother. Mom tried to con-vince us that she missed beingwith us. But since she moved backin, she is always on the phone orcomputer or out with her friends.She says it's her time to have funand that we're always criticizingher. She also badmouths my fatherand tells me things about himthat no parent should say. I'veasked her to stop multiple times,but she won't.

I work long hours in order tocontribute to our rent and utili-ties. My sister and I are essential-ly raising our younger brother,who has been struggling in schooland acting out. Mom is oblivious. Irecently got into a huge argumentwith her about how I spend mymoney. We didn't speak for twoweeks because she ignored all ofmy attempts to talk about it. Aftera while, I stopped trying.

Now Mom always favors mysister in any disagreement. Weused to be close, but I've lost allrespect for her. What should I do?I seriously need some advice. —Lost Child

Dear Lost: The divorce hassent your mother over the edge.All of you are under a great dealof stress, and your brother's prob-lems are undoubtedly intensifiedby all the chaos in the home.Please talk to your father. Beingdivorced does not mean he hasgiven up his obligations andresponsibilities as a parent. Donot place blame. Simply start bytelling Dad that your brother ishaving problems in school thataren't being addressed. If youhave grandparents, aunts anduncles, lean on them for emotionalsupport when you need to. Yourjob may offer an employee assis-tance program that could help, orif you are attending school, talk toyour school counselor.

Dear Annie: I am home in bedwith the flu. In fact, this is thefourth time in the past fourmonths that I've missed work dueto a virus. I've used up my sickleave, so I'm not earning anymoney, and a lot of my work isn'tgetting done by the part-time vol-unteer who fills in for me.

Why am I sick so much?Because business associates comein, lean over my shoulder and saythings like, "I ought to be at home.I'm so sick." I've even had clientscome in saying they left work feel-ing ill, but thought they'd stop tosee me before they went home. Ifyou are too sick to be in youroffice, you are too sick to be inmine.

When I ask folks to steer clearif they are ill, I'm told that I amunsympathetic and rude. If I missany more work, I won't be able topay my bills. How can I convincepeople that illness belongs athome? — Sick of Being Sick

Dear Sick: People mistakenlybelieve it shows loyalty to come towork sick, and unfortunately,many bosses idiotically encouragethis attitude. But the end result ismore employees contaminatingthe work environment and gettingsick. We can only recommend thatyou get your daily dose of vita-mins and wash your hands fre-quently.

Dear Annie: This is inresponse to "Grandma," with thesloppy granddaughter. A co-workertold me what she did. Afterrepeated arguments with her slop-py daughter, she got a big garbagebag and tossed in everything herdaughter neglected to put away,including shoes, purses, dresses,cosmetics and electronics.

One day her daughter asked,"Have you seen my red shoe?"Mom said she'd have to pay a"finder's fee" to get anything out ofthe bag. That was the end of hersloppy ways. — Enlightened

Today is Monday, March 4,the 63rd day of 2013. There are302 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight inHistory:

On March 4, 1913, WoodrowWilson was inaugurated as the28th president of the UnitedStates, succeeding PresidentWilliam Howard Taft.

On this date:In 1789, the Constitution of

the United States went intoeffect as the first FederalCongress met in New York. (The

lawmakers then adjourned forlack of a quorum.)

In 1987, President RonaldReagan addressed the nationon the Iran-Contra affair,acknowledging that his over-tures to Iran had “deteriorated”into an arms-for-hostages deal.

Ten years ago: The Army’soldest armored division, “OldIronsides,” got orders to headfor the Persian Gulf as the totalof U.S. land, sea and air forcesarrayed against Iraq or prepar-ing to go neared 300,000.

One year ago: PresidentBarack Obama said he didn’twant war but insisted he wouldattack Iran if that were the onlyoption left to stop that nationfrom getting a nuclear weapon.Vladimir Putin scored a decisivevictory in Russia’s presidentialelection to return to the Kremlinand extend his hold on powerfor six more years. Nearly 300people in the Republic of Congowere killed after a series ofblasts at an arms depot in thecapital Brazzaville.

BEIJING (AP) — Amoderate earthquakestruck southwest Chinaon Sunday, causing hun-dreds of homes to collapseand injuring at least 30people.

The earthquake bureauin Yunnan province,where the quake occurred,said three of the injuredpeople were in seriouscondition.

The official XinhuaNews Agency said thequake damaged 2,500houses and caused 700others to collapse.

About 55,000 peoplewere affected by thequake, Xinhua said, citingYunnan’s Civil AffairsDepartment.

Supplies were on theirway to the quake-hit area,including 6,000 tents.

The magnitude-5.5quake struck 51 kilome-ters (32 miles) from thecity of Dali at a depth of

33 kilometers (20 miles),according to the U.S.Geological Survey.

About 34 aftershockswere recorded after thequake, Xinhua said.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)— Taps in New Orleansbriefly went dry Sundayafter a boiler’s heatingflame went out of controlin the immense steamgenerator that powerspumps for the city’s watertreatment plant.

Marcia St. Martin,executive director of thecity’s Sewerage andWaterBoard, said the outagelasted less than 20 min-utes Sunday morning.Twitter came alive withresidents bemoaning theloss about 9 a.m. Centraltime, and Mayor MitchLandrieu tweeted to hisfollowers that the city waslooking into the matter.

The loss of pressureopened the way for possi-ble contamination andwater samples are beingtaken citywide, she said.

She said all sample col-lection should be completeby Sunday afternoon, andresults should be avail-able about 24 hours later.It takes that long to detecthigh levels of intestinalbacteria that could causediarrhea.

Until the results are in,officials said, more than300,000 residents on theMississippi River’s eastbank should boil water fordrinking, brushing theirteeth, preparing food oranything else that mightbring tap water into theirbodies.

“For most of us, bathsare fine,” city health offi-

cer Karen DeSalvo said.The exceptions are peoplewith low immune sys-tems, open wounds, babiesor small children. Infantsand small children shouldbe given sponge baths.

Most of New Orleans,including the FrenchQuarter and CentralBusiness District, is onthe east bank. The treat-ment plant there providesabout 135 million gallonsof drinking water a day,compared with 11 millionfrom the west bank treat-ment plant.

In October, city officialswere criticized becausethey did not put out anotice that tap watermight be contaminateduntil four hours after abrief shutdown at the eastbank plant.

On Sunday, Waterpressure at the maingauge had never fallenbelow the state’s thresh-old of 15 pounds persquare inch for boil advi-sories, but a precaution-ary notice was issuedafter hours of consultationwith state Department ofHealth and Hospitals offi-cials, city spokesmanRyan Berni wrote in anemail.

A power problem inNovember 2010 also cre-ated similar conditions.

Across the city Sunday,some residents and busi-nesses prepared watersupplies to use under theboil advisory.

Thompson wins Honda for 1st tour titlePALM BEACH GARDENS,

Fla. (AP) — MichaelThompson’s dream of winninghis first PGA Tour event waswalking up the final fairwaywith a big lead and very littlestress.The reality was much differ-

ent Sunday in the HondaClassic.He had a one-shot lead as he

stood in the 18th fairway, some240 yards from the flag withtrouble in the way in the shapeof large lake. The motto from hisgolf team at Alabama was to“finish strong,” and Thompsondid just that.

Instead of laying up, hedrilled a 5-wood into the bunkerleft of the green, setting up asimple sand shot and a birdie hedidn’t even need. He closed witha 1-under 69, one of only fiverounds under par on a punish-ing day at PGA National tofinally become a PGA Tour win-ner.“That for me kind of sealed

the deal,” Thompson said. “Itallowed me to walk up the fair-way and enjoy the experience,see the crowd and … just finishstrong.”The start wasn’t bad, either.Thompson holed a 50-foot

eagle putt on the third hole,relied on a superb short gamearound the toughest part of thegolf course to build a four-shotlead, and hung on for a two-shotwin over Geoff Ogilvy that takeshim places he always wanted tobe.He gets into his first World

Golf Championship next weekat Doral, and qualifies for twomore WGCs this year atFirestone and in Shanghai. He’sin the PGA Championship, getsto start next year in Hawaii andearned a two-year exemption onthe PGA Tour.And to think just two weeks

ago he was so down after a 78-80 performance at Riviera thathe wondered if he would evermake another cut.“This week was magical,”

Thompson said. “Just had agroove and kept feeling it.”It turned out to be a big week

for Ogilvy, too.The former U.S. Open cham-

pion missed his past four cutsand had plunged to No. 79 in theworld ranking. He alreadymissed the Match PlayChampionship and was ready tomiss another WGC next week atDoral until putting togetherfour solid rounds.

Edwards ends drought at PhoenixAVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) —

Carl Edwards climbed from hiscar, stood on the door and landeda backflip near the finish line.He then hopped up on the wall infront of the grandstand, grabbedthe checkered flag and wadedinto the crowd, trading high-fives with fans.After a miserable week at

Daytona, Edwards had plenty tocelebrate.That it came at Phoenix

International Raceway onlyseemed fitting.Coming through on his prom-

ise to dominate after his

Daytona disaster, Edwardspulled away on a late restart andsnapped a 70-race winless streakon Sunday, the second longdrought he’s ended at Phoenix.“This win feels as good or bet-

ter as any win I’ve ever had,”Edwards said.Edwards had a rough 2012

season, missing the Chase forthe championship. His down-ward spiral continued atDaytona, where he wrecked fivecars. On his way out of Florida,Edwards said he was ready todominate and win at Phoenix.He did just that, leading the

final 78 laps on the 312-lap racearound PIR’s odd-shaped oval inthe first non-restrictor-plate racewith NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car.Edwards got a good push from

defending Sprint Cup championBrad Keselowski on the restartwith two laps left and pulledaway from there, winning for thefirst time since Las Vegas in2011.After parking his car at the

finish line, Edwards landed hisfirst backflip in nearly two yearsand celebrated with the fans justlike he did at PIR after endinganother 70-race winless streak

in 2010.“I’m sure it’s a relief for some-

one like Carl,” said DennyHamlin, who finished third andhad a long winless streak end atPhoenix last year. “He’s now rel-evant again, he really is and it’sa good sign for their race teamfor things to come.”The big duel came behind

Edwards.Despite struggling with his

car most of the day, Hamlinmade a bold move on the last lapwith a pass on the apron below

crowd, Toal said fellow sen-ior Marshall — who wonhis own individual statetitle in 2012 — was thereason the Eagles broughtthe title back home. Astime winded down inMarshall’s third placematch against GreenwichS. Central’s Caleb BernettSaturday, the senior waswincing in pain as he heldon for an 8-3 victory.Marshall, however, wasn’tthe only one who had tobattle through pain thisseason.“Obviously, I’m tremen-

dously proud of him,” said

B.J. Toal’s father, BruceToal. “What’s really excep-tional about this year, a lotof people don’t even know,he had a pretty significantknee injury in Decemberthat he had an operationon. He hurt it when hewrestled at Iron Man.Then almost a week later,he had the surgery, so hewas out for about sixweeks.“It’s really hard to

rehab that stuff in the mid-dle of the season. He cameback, and he actually had atough loss because he was-n’t 100 percent, but hewanted to get back on themat. The rest of the seasonat sectionals, district andstate he just wrestled thatmuch better, and kept get-ting better and better. Icouldn’t be more proud ofhim for his dedication.”And it was dedication

on all accounts that led toTroy Christian winningtheir fourth state title inschool history.

outside Johnson duringHamlin’s move, finishedfourth and DaleEarnhardt Jr. ended upfifth.“As far down as I was, I

was committed, there wasnothing that I was going todo where I would backout,” Hamlin said. “I justhoped I would have justslid in front of the 48, thenyou risk getting puntedand spun, and your wholeday you’ve worked every-thing for is taken away ina corner. I held my lineand thought I really didthe right thing and gavethose guys room to passme back and one of themdid.”The last Phoenix race,

in November, set upKeselowski for his firstSprint Cup title afterJohnson blew a tire. It alsofeatured quite a sideshow.A running feud between

Clint Bowyer and JeffGordon boiled over late inthe race, setting off abrawl in the pits andBowyer on a WWE-style

dash to Gordon’s hauler.The drivers tried to

downplay the confronta-tion after arriving in thedesert this week, but it’sbeen hard to avoid, withvideo of the scrap-and-dash being shown all overin promos for the race andreplays.Ryan Newman had the

only dash this timearound, running across thetrack and away from hiscar after it blew a right-front tire for the secondtime in 140 laps.Inside his car, Mark

Martin failed in his bid tobecome the oldest SprintCup winner.The 54-year-old became

the second-oldest driver tostart on the pole in aSprint Cup car, a fewmonths short of HarryGant’s mark. Martin ledthe first 49 laps and 26more later on, but couldn’tsustain it in his bid tobecome the oldest SprintCup winner, finishing 21st.“Obviously, it’s a disap-

pointing result for a greateffort on the weekend,”Martin said. “The car waspretty fast, but we hadmultiple problems today.”So did Danica Patrick,

Heat rally past Knicks

NEW YORK (AP) —LeBron James stretchedhis arm above the rim,soaring high on a shakyknee and turning his stealinto a finishing dunk asCarmelo Anthony hung hishead near midcourt.

The Heat took theKnicks’ best shot, but itwasn’t good enough to beatthe defending champs.

Nothing is right now.James had 29 points, 11

rebounds and sevenassists, and Miami tied afranchise record with its14th straight victory, rally-ing for a 99-93 victory atNew York on Sunday.

“We feel like this is oneof our better wins of theseason, even under the cir-cumstances that we wentthrough tonight, a littleadversity being down dou-ble digits,” James said.

Dwyane Wade added 20points, eight rebounds andeight assists for the Heat,who had to overcome a 16-point deficit to beat theKnicks for the first time inthree tries this season.Chris Bosh bounced backfrom a dismal first half tofinish with 16 points andShane Battier hit all four3-point attempts to score12.

The Heat won theirsixth straight on the roadby controlling the finalminutes against a teamthat had a pair of 20-pointvictories over them thisseason and looked ready torun them out of the build-ing again.

But James shook off athird-quarter leg injuryand was back in top formby the finish, putting itaway by coming up with asteal and throwing down adunk with 23 seconds left.

“Obviously, it’s great towin games, period. Butwhen you’re on a winstreak, you’ve got to findmany different ways to winballgames and we’ve hadcomebacks in the last sec-onds, we’ve had double-overtime games, but thiswas probably the mostthrilling one,” Wade said.“It was the most challeng-ing. For a team who beatus twice, they handled ustwice and they were up 16

in the first half, for us tohave the resilience to comeback, find a way fight outthis win, it was great.”

Carmelo Anthonyscored 32 points for theKnicks, who had won threein a row. Jason Kiddemerged from a lengthyslump to finish with 14points, eight rebounds andsix assists. J.R. Smith had13 points and 12 rebounds,but shot 5 of 18 from thefield.

“I think we are disap-pointed because we had anopportunity to win a ball-game here at home againstthe champs,” Kidd said. “Soit’s something we can lookat and get better at with

those mistakes, especiallylater in the game.”

The Heat matched their14 straight wins duringthe 2004-05 season andfinally beat one of theirclosest pursuers in theEastern Conference afterdropping their first fouragainst the Knicks andIndiana Pacers.

James landed awk-wardly when he was fouledtrying to catch a lob passin the third quarter andwas trying afterward toloosen his left knee or leg.He looked fine in the clos-ing minutes, making keyplays on both ends of thefloor.

“His motor is limitless. Idon’t want to take that forgranted. I don’t just wantto assume that he can play40-plus minutes, but hehad to do it on both ends,”Heat coach Erik Spoelstrasaid. “Couldn’t get him outin the fourth quarter and ifI would have tried, heprobably would havestrangled me.

“He was strong and wasat his strongest after 40minutes of basketball.”

Bosh tied it at 87 andWade’s basket with 4:29left gave Miami the leadfor good. James thenblocked Tyson Chandler atthe rim and hustled downthe floor to put back aMiami miss, making it 91-87.

The Knicks twice werewithin two, but Jamesscored on a drive the sec-ond time. Bosh followedwith a jumper for a 97-91advantage, and after twofree throws by RaymondFelton, James ended theKnicks’ final hopes whenhe stepped in front of apass headed towardAnthony and broke inalone for the slam.

“They kind of walked usdown towards the end,”Anthony said. “We madesome mistakes, turned theball over, and then thatturnover was probably justthe icing on the cake rightthere.”

James said he felt theknee a little bit during thegame, but expected to be inuniform Monday atMinnesota.

The Knicks beat Miamihere by 20 in their seasonopener and won again inMiami in early Decemberby 20, even while playingwithout Anthony becauseof a cut on his finger thatrequired stitches.

Corey Crawford wasperfect in the shootout andfinished with 32 saves to

help Chicago win a ninthstraight game.

“He had several bigsaves, particularly rightafter they scored to go upone,” Blackhawks coachJoel Quenneville said. “Hekept us in there to make ita one-goal game and gaveus a chance.”

The Blackhawks haveearned at least a point in28 straight games dating toa March 25, 2012 loss in

regulation to Nashville totie the second-longeststreak in league history.They’ve matchedMontreal’s multi-seasonpoints run from the 1977-78 season and trail onlyPhiladelphia’s streak of 35straight games with atleast a point during the1979-80 season.

“It’s impressive,” Detroitgoaltender Jimmy Howardacknowledged after making

Blue Jackets 2,Avalanche 1COLUMBUS — Artem

Anisimov scored on a hardwrist shot on an overtimepower play, and SergeiBobrovsky made 18 savesto lead the Columbus BlueJackets to a 2-1 victory overthe Colorado Avalanche onSunday.

Rodman: NorthKorea leaderwants call fromPres. Obama

WASHINGTON (AP)— Call me? Maybe?

North Korea’s youngleader has riled the U.S.with recent nuclear tests,but Kim Jong Un doesn’treally want war with thesuperpower, just a callfrom President BarackObama to chat about theirshared love of basketball,according to ersatz diplo-mat Dennis Rodman, theex-NBA star just backfrom an improbable visitto the reclusive commu-nist country.

“He loves basketball.… I said Obama loves bas-ketball. Let’s start there”as a way to warm up rela-tions between U.S. andNorth Korea, Rodmantold ABC’s “This Week.”

“He asked me to giveObama something to sayand do one thing. Hewants Obama to do onething, call him,” saidRodman, who called theauthoritarian leader an“awesome guy” during histrip. The StateDepartment criticizedNorth Korea last week for“wining and dining’Rodman while its ownpeople go hungry.

Rodman also said Kimtold him, “I don’t want todo war. I don’t want to dowar.”

Yet in January, afterthe U.N. Security Councilvoted to condemn theNorth’s successful rocketlaunch in December andexpand penalties againstKim’s government, hisNational DefenseCommission said in astatement that “settlingaccounts with the U.S.needs to be done withforce, not with words.”Thestatement also promised“a new phase of the anti-U.S. struggle that haslasted century after cen-tury.”

North Korea and theU.S. fought on oppositesides of the three-yearKorean War, which endedin a truce in 1953. Thefoes technically remain atwar. They never signed apeace treaty and do nothave diplomatic relations.

Rodman was the high-est-profile American tomeet Kim since Kiminherited power fromfather Kim Jong Il in2011. He traveled to thesecretive state with theHarlem Globetrottersteam for a new HBOseries produced by NewYork-based VICE televi-sion.

The visit took placeamid rising tensionsbetween the countries.

North Korea conductedan underground nucleartest two weeks ago, mak-ing clear the provocativeact was a warning to theUnited States to dropwhat it considers a “hos-tile” policy toward theNorth.

Rodman said he wasaware of North Korea’shuman rights record,which the StateDepartment has charac-terized as one of the worstin the world, but said hewasn’t apologizing forKim.

“He’s a good guy tome,” Rodman said, adding,that “as a person to per-son, he’s my friend. I don’tcondone what he does.”

Basketball is popularin North Korea, andThursday’s exhibitiongame with two Americansplaying on each teamalongside North Koreansended in a 110-110 tie.Following the game Kimthrew an “epic feast” forthe group, plying themwith food and drinks andmaking round after roundof toasts.
