Cousins trace family history mystery

Covingtonrated as‘Effective’

BY JENNIFER RUNYONFor the Daily [email protected]

COVINGTON – Cov-ington SuperintendentDave Larson opened theState of the Schools Ad-dress by telling attendeesthat while the possiblebuilding project is a majorfocus for the district, “It’sjust one component ofwhat’s going on in Coving-ton schools.”He shared the district’s

mission statement: TheMission of the CovingtonSchools is to provide anexcellent educationalfoundation that preparesour students to becomeproductive and responsi-ble citizens.“No where in there does

it say anything about fi-nances or facilities. Thatstuff is secondary. Every-thing is about how we dothat right there — pre-pare our students to be-come productive andresponsible citizens,”

PIQUA — The increas-ing popularity of geneal-ogy has been credited toTV shows like “Who DoYou Think You Are?” and“Faces of America withHenry Louis Gates Jr.,”but local genealogist AmieTennant attributes it tosomething simpler: Thebasic human need to knowwho we are.“People want to know,

‘Where do I come from?Who were the people whomade me who I am?’ It’s amystery, and everyoneloves a good mystery,” saidTennant, who studiedthrough the National Ge-nealogical Society andteaches classes in geneal-

ogy at the A.B. GrahamMemorial Center inConover and for theMiami Valley Historicaland Genealogical Societyat the Piqua Public Li-brary.When Tennant was

asked in late 2010 by hercousin, Deb Tate, to dosome genealogy work onher father Lewis Nimety’sside of the family, they hadlittle to go on. Tate knewthe names of Lewis’ par-ents, Joe and LillieNimety, and that they hadlived in Lee County, Va.She had been told that Joehad a family from a previ-ous marriage and thatthere were children fromthat union. Tate hoped toconnect with them and in-troduce her father to hishalf-siblings.The cousins started

with the censuses, eventu-ally locating Joe and Lilliein the 1930 edition. Inthat census, Joe was listedas having arrived inAmerica from Hungary in1903 and becoming a nat-uralized citizen. Fromthere, Tate and Tennantconsulted Ancestry.com’sU.S. naturalizationrecords database andstruck gold, finding Joe’sdeclaration of intention (tobecome a U.S. citizen)dated Dec. 18, 1920, aswell as the name of hisfirst wife, Mary.However, the next docu-

ment they found, Joe’s1927 petition for natural-ization, listed his wife asLillie. It turned out thatJoe and Mary divorcedsometime between 1920

PIQUA — “Corestrength and reflexes.”When we hear those

words, we typically call tomind an athlete, trainingfor a big game.At High Street Elemen-

tary School, a select groupof second-grade studentsare working on corestrength and reflexes aspart of a pilot programfrom “Ready Bodies,Learning Minds.”While the program

does, indeed, focus onphysical aspects, the an-ticipated end result is no-ticeable academicimprovement for students.The program, under the

direction of Amy Pratt, aphysical therapist fromthe Montgomery CountyRegional Center, focuseson working with studentsto properly develop finemotor skills, muscular co-ordination and reflexesand to build core strength.Principal Teresa Ander-

son said that the programbegan “a couple monthsago,” using “two classes ofsecond-grade studentsplus an additional 30 as acontrol group.”Anderson said, “It is a

program that could be im-plemented anywhere. Wejust chose to use it, noth-ing that is being ‘required’by the state or anything

like that. We felt like itcould be beneficial to ourstudents but we wanted topilot it first before imple-menting in a larger scale.”All students were in-

volved in a pre-test, whichmeasured visual tracking,balance, strength, motorplanning and reflexes.The skills worked on

during the program in-clude seemingly simpletasks such as followingthe movement of a ball,suspended from a string,with the the eyes whilegently batting it betweenleft and right hands, orbouncing a ball while bal-

ancing on spot on the floor.The intent is to build a

foundation and improvemotor skills.Pratt pointed to little

things in motor skills, likea students’ eyes transi-tioning from looking at apage in front of them tothe display on a Smart-Board, and back, as one ofthe areas where they hopeto see improvement. Shedescribed today’s childrenas a generation of “con-tainer babies,” who spendtheir early years in cribs,car seats, walkers andbaby swings. “The level offind motor skills is de-

creasing,” said Pratt.As children grow older,

they are spending time infront of computers and tel-evision sets, rather thanrunning, jumping andplaying outdoors, there-fore, they are not refiningmotor skills or becomingphysically fit.This lack of motor skills

and fitness has a direct ef-fect on grades.Pratt went on to say

that the original pilot pro-gram in Texas found a 70percent improvement instudent’s reading scores

MIAMI COUNTY —State Rep. Richard Adamssaid he was pleased withGov. John Kasich’s Stateof the State address Tues-day, which addressed jobgrowth, tax reform, educa-tion and Medicaid expan-sion, among other issues.Adams, a member of the

finance and appropria-tions and transportationcommittees, noted thatthrough reorganization

under the Republican gov-ernor’s administration,the state has already cut45 state employees as partof a larger initiative forgreater efficiency. Agen-cies have been consoli-dated, such as Medicaid,which used to be handledby seven different officesbut is now handled by one,with its director reportingdirectly to Kasich.“He’s making govern-

ment smaller and more re-sponsible,” Adams said.

Economic GrowthThe big push at the

state level, Adams said,lies in economic develop-ment and job creation.Ohio has climbed to fourthin the nation for job cre-ation under Kasich — andfirst in the Midwest. Butensuring Ohio remains aleader in economic growthis a priority.“The culture for being a

small business is gettingbetter,” Adams said.Under Kasich’s two-

year budget plan, small-business owners would begranted a 50 percent in-come tax reduction on

their first $750,000 ofprofit.“That’s really signifi-

cant and should be a bighelp for those trying tokeep a small businessafloat. That is really excel-lent,” Adams said.When he won re-elec-

tion last November,Adams said spurring jobgrowth in the private sec-tor would bolster theeconomy statewide, whichis a focus of Kasich aswell.

Landlord whippedlate-pay tenant

WAYNESVILLE (AP)— An Ohio landlord is ac-cused of whipping a tenantwith a belt on his bare but-tocks for falling behind onhis rent.

Ron Kronenberger, 53,was charged with assaultfor the Jan. 22 encounterin his office, police in thevillage ofWaynesville said.He was due in court Thurs-day in Warren County.

Police said the tenant,29, was late with a $2,800rent payment.

“If you’re going to actlike a child, I’m going totreat you like one,” Kro-nenberger was quoted inthe police report as tellingthe tenant before strikinghim four times with a belt.

The report said the beltleft “little marks.”

Waynesville Police ChiefGary Copeland talked tothe accuser,who reportedlytold him he submitted tothe whipping because “hewas scared and justwanted to get it over with,”according to the police re-port.

The Dayton Daily Newsreported that Kronen-berger is a former chamberof commerce president whowas Waynesville’s “Citizenof the Year” for 2006. Hishome phone wasn’t accept-ing messages Thursday.

Lawmakers pushbill addressingelder abuse

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio lawmakers and state

Attorney General MikeDeWine are promoting leg-islation to stop the finan-cial exploitation of olderOhioans.

The proposals to be dis-cussed Thursday byDeWine and House Rep.Mike Dovilla, a Berea Re-publican, and Rep. WesRetherford, a HamiltonRepublican, come at a timewhen experts estimate asmany as 2 million olderAmericans are abused invarious ways each year.

That abuse can rangefrom physical assault tothe misuse of a person’smoney, property and as-sets.

The proposed Ohio billwould also ensure that thelife savings and homes ofsenior citizens are pro-tected.

Gunshot victimdropped off athospital

COLUMBUS (AP) —Columbus police are look-ing for the car thatdropped off a woundedman at a hospital abouttwo hours before he died.

Larson said.That being said, he moved on to

academic achievement. He sharedthe preliminary report card datafrom the state that has Covingtonrated as Effective. Covington met22 out of 26 indicators. Stressingthat the report card is one tool tosee if students are succeeding, heurged everyone to remember that,“the report card is not the end re-sult.”

Larson also cited the followinginformation from the report card asacademic achievements:

• 94 percent Graduation Rate for2012

• 96 percent Attendance Rate for2012

• Strong OGT results“For a student to be able to pass a

graduation test, it’s what happensfrom kindergarten on, so it’s truly ateam effort,” Larson said.

He added that security measures,such as cameras at the high school,have been added and that more willcome.The superintendent said thatby the start of next school year,school doors will remain locked anda buzzer system will be used for en-trance. Larson then shared aboutrecent state mandates. These in-cluded: the Third Grade Guarantee,new Common Core standards, newteacher and principal evaluationsystems, new report card compo-nents and a new method of assess-ments

“There’s a lot that affects schooldistricts beyond the decisions thatwe get to make,” he said.

Larson went on to speak aboutthings happening at Covington thatare not found on the state reportcard. These included: CMS STEMDay Program, girls from the CMSScholarship Club attending the Weare IT conference, CMS having 92students participate in the honorsbreakfast, CHS offering dual en-rollment courses with Urbana Uni-versity and the addition of wifi atareas of CHS.

The superintendent concludedhis address by thanking the stu-dents, parents and staff membersbefore turning his attention to thedistrict’s finances.

MedicaidDuring last week’s address, Ka-

sich discussed expanding Medicaidfor moral reasons, stating that hisChristian faith guided his decision-making.

The problem, Adams said, lies inpotential funding issues down theroad.

“Frankly, that’s given me themost difficulty in coming to a con-clusion,” he said.

Under President Obama’s Afford-able Care Act, the federal govern-ment would fully fund health carefor disadvantaged Ohioans. Kasichstated that, as a result, $13 billionwould return to Ohio during thenext seven years.

But Adams said that while pro-viding medical care for all is com-mendable, he is concerned with howthe federal government will fund

the program and who will fund itafter that period of time.

“Where will they get thatmoney?” Adams said. “My confi-dence is just not the highest in thefederal government that it once wasin terms of fiscal responsibility.”

House Bill 5As he has repeated in the past,

Adams will support House Bill 5,the successor of HB 601, only if it istruly budget-neutral. He has beenmeeting with city officials to as-suage any concerns about the bill,which Director of Public Serviceand Safety Patrick Titteringtonsaid would cause the city of Troy tolose $750,000 to $1.2 million in taxrevenue per year.

Tax uniformity entails simplify-ing and standardizing municipaland village tax collection.Tittering-ton has said he would support onlytax uniformity, not tax reform,which relates to issues such as who

gets exemptions and what com-prises taxable income.

Adams said he would not supportlegislation that would impact taxincome for local communities.

EducationAdams questioned Kasich’s for-

mula for school funding, as hispromise to provide more funding forpoorer districts did not come tofruition in Miami County, as severalschool districts were flat-funded.Only Troy City Schools and PiquaCity Schools were projected to seeincreases — about 17 percent —while overall in Ohio, 60 percent ofthe 612 school districts would beflat-funded.

“The state department (of educa-tion) is not in the loop to the samedegree that they once were,”Adamssaid.

The funding plan goes into effectJuly 1.

AdamsContinued from page 1

after taking part in theprogram.

Funding for the HighStreet program, materialand resources necessarywere made using thebuilding budget fund, thesame as would any schoolprogram or activity. An-derson said there is verylittle actual cost involved.The items used in the pro-gram were rounded upfrom around the buildingusing material already onhand, many of which werefrom the physical educa-tion department. “The resthas just been an invest-ment of time,” said Ander-son.

Students will be testedagain near the end of theschool year and data fromboth tests analyzed. Theschool psychologist willwork with the data and adecision will be made to“see if we can see any aca-demic growth as a resultof the program,”Andersonsaid. “Her work is rele-vant in that our hypothe-sis is that this programwill make a differenceboth physically and aca-demically for our stu-dents.”

If positive results areshown, it will help in a de-termination of whether, ornot, to expand the pro-gram next year.

State Briefs

Kasich uses faith in Medicaid bidCOLUMBUS (AP) —

Gov. John Kasich isn'tjust highlighting dollarsto persuade state law-makers to support ex-tending Medicaidcoverage to thousands ofmore low-income stateresidents. He's also ap-pealing to their faith.

Kasich, one of a smallbut growing number ofRepublican governors onboard with Medicaid ex-pansion, is openly usinghis Christianity to tell hisfellow GOP legislatorsthat the weak and vul-nerable should not be leftbehind.

He is one of seven Re-

publican governors so farto propose expanding thetaxpayer-funded healthinsurance program —though he appears to bestanding apart in usinghis faith to inspire believ-ers.

The Bible runs his life"not just on Sunday, butjust about every day," hesaid in his annual Stateof the State addressTuesday.

"And I've got to tellyou, I can't look at thedisabled, I can't look atthe poor, I can't look atthe mentally ill, I can'tlook at the addicted andthink we ought to ignore

them," he told the audi-ence of about 1,700 law-makers, state officialsand other guests.

How much weight hispitch carries depends onwhether conservativelawmakers can get pasttheir worries about thefederal law and howmuch it could cost.

The federal money thatcomes with the expansionisn't lost on Kasich. Hehas also framed his deci-sion as recapturing Ohiotaxpayers' federal money.

The federal govern-ment will pay the entirecost of the Medicaid ex-pansion for the first three

years, gradually phasingdown to 90 percent, stillwell above the Ohio's cur-rent level of 64 percent.

Ohio would see $13 bil-lion from the federal gov-ernment over the nextseven years to coverthose newly eligible forMedicaid, according tothe Kasich administra-tion. Roughly 366,000Ohio residents would beup for coverage under theexpansion beginning in2014.

The Medicaid expan-sion is one of the keycomponents of the federalAffordable Care Act.

Attendance ‘scrubbing’ temptingBY JULIE CARRSMYTHAssociated Press

COLUMBUS (AP) — Aformer superintendent wentto prison in Texas for conspir-ing to remove low-performingstudents from classrooms toboost average test scores.Principals in Oklahoma andMissouri are out of their jobsafter attendance-relatedscandals.In Ohio, a recent state

audit uncovered nine dis-tricts that withdrew studentsretroactively or improperlyreported they were attendingalternative programs. In oneinstance, Auditor Dave Yostsaid, a district ignored staterules “because they didn’t likethem.”It’s all part of a percolating

national saga in whichgrown-ups — not kids — arethe ones accused of cheating.Temptations to “scrubbing,”the process of improperly fix-ing enrollment or attendancedata to somehow improve abuilding’s situation, can in-clude rosier district reportcards, added state or federalfunding and employeebonuses.“I think it is influenced by

the high-stakes accountabil-ity environment that we’re inright now. It’s raised thestakes,” said Gary Crow, aprofessor of educational lead-ership at Indiana University.“It used to be when you takea standardized test and yourstudents did well or didn’t dowell, it influenced your teach-ing, of course, but it didn’t getconnected directly to yourpay, or your job security, orthose kinds of things. Well,now, in a lot of places it does.”It is also easier to identify

such cases in the increasinglydata-driven world of educa-tion, although they remainisolated. An added factor,Crow said, is that educatorsand policymakers are often atodds over the effectiveness ofstandardized tests and otherperformance measures.States’ reactions range

from tolerant to tough. Somecite evolving record-keepingtechnology and reporting re-quirements. Others pursueprosecutions. That has meantmixed messages for adminis-trators on a staple of theschool day: who shows up,and where.Some educators have

fought back, citing the on-slaught of tracking questionsbrought on by school choiceas well as rapidly changingstate and federal rules.In Columbus, a student’s

father alleges in a lawsuitthat a series of improperwithdrawals of low-perform-ing students caused hisdaughter’s home school torise in academic status, mak-ing her ineligible for a statevoucher that allows studentsin failing institutions to at-tend better schools.Losing the voucher meant

that 15-year-old KaileyBeard’s $9,000 tuition to anearby private school was nolonger covered — and thatshe couldn’t play sports. Hav-ing a voucher allows theyearlong waiting period im-posed on transferring ath-letes to be waived. It was abitter blow to Kailey, who haddreamed of being a basket-ball star since she was 6.“It’s just been a really hard

couple of years,” said Kailey,whose family is springing forher tuition but who can’t playbasketball for now. “I go to thegames, I practice with theteam, but I mean, it was hardbecause the coach put theplayers in who were actuallygoing to be playing. So I saton the sidelines a lot of timesduring practice.”East High, Kailey’s home

school, is part of the Colum-bus City Schools, which isunder investigation by stateand federal authorities forthe alleged attendance scrub-bing. Her father, Jon Beard,has filed one of two parentlawsuits over the matter.In the district’s defense,

spokesman Jeff Warnernoted Columbus is a popu-lous urban district with a

high rate of student mobilityand many charter schools forstudents to move to and from.The “sheer volume” makestracking difficult, he said, andstate and federal attendancereporting rules at times con-tradict.Law enforcers predict

criminal prosecutions. Thedistrict’s former accountabil-ity director and a regional ex-ecutive director, both figuresin the probe, are retiring. Su-perintendent Gene Harrisalso is leaving at the end ofthe school year, in a decisionshe and her supporters say isunrelated.In a Missouri case, Esper-

ansa Veal, the principal ofPatrick Henry DowntownAcademy in St. Louis, Mo.,was placed on administrativeleave after a state auditor’sinvestigation was launchedinto attendance practices in2011.The audit found the ele-

mentary school appeared tohave altered data to boost at-tendance figures, which de-termine the school’s statefunding allotment. Veal’s em-ployment with the districtended in September 2011,two days after Missouri Au-ditor Tom Schweich releasedhis report.A district spokesman de-

clined to say why Veal’s em-ployment ended, citingconfidentiality of personnelrecords. Veal was not crimi-nally charged, according toMissouri’s online courtrecords.After the incident, Schwe-

ich ordered attendancerecords included in futureroutine reviews. Aspokesman said that’s notturned up any further irregu-larities.With a Texas scandal in-

Iwas recently made aware of an issue that tookplace late last year at Sinclair Community Collegein Dayton.Multiple stories from December 2012 state that a

construction project on the Sinclair campus was halted— are you ready for this — because the female man-ager of construction and planning for the college wasoffended by signs that stated: Men WorkingNever mind that it was an all-male construction

crew. Never mind that stopping a construction projectfor a personal rant was wasting taxpayer dollars.Elizabeth Verzi holds the position of manager of con-

struction and planning at the school.One would think that someone in such a responsi-

ble position would care first that work is completed onschedule and budget,that construction qual-ity is above quality stan-dards and the job wasdone with safety inmind.Instead, this woman

is concerned about asign?According to a story

published in Breitbart,and written by LeeStranahan, J-Crane Inc., owner, Jack Stull, whose com-pany was the target of Verzi’s tirade, wrote a letter thathe would continue work but would not replace the sign.“I’m through with appeasing, I’m tired of political cor-rectness, and I’m no longer fearful of their media ortheir lawsuits,” Stull allegedly said.Miss/Mrs. Verzi allegedly told a J-Crane foreman,

“The sign is sexist and its not up for discussion.” Re-ally?My thought on this is, lady, you work for a commu-

nity college. Your job is to represent the school, notyour own bias and corrupt opinion.If this is the way that Verzi goes about her job, Sin-

clair should show her the sidewalk.The Breitbart News story referred to a statement

made by Sinclair. Adam Murka, director of public in-formation for the school, allegedly told the news staffmembers, “While it may not have been necessary tostop work, Sinclair stands by its commitment to pro-viding an environment that inclusive and non-dis-criminatory.”Now that sounds to me like a lot of public relations

wimpy non-information.All of this politically correct crap has cost countless

millions of dollars over the decades. And, for what? Sothat someone doesn’t get their feelings hurt? Awwww.Poor babies.This sort of stuff is one of the contributing reasons

why America has become nothing more than a laugh-ing stock to others around the world.In the grand scheme of things, just how important is

it that a sign is gender sensitive on a construction site?Are passers-by going to use caution around male work-ers and then run over a female construction workerjust because a sign was not gender-accurate?When did common sense cease to be a desired char-

acteristic in America?I have a news flash for everyone — while no one

likes getting their feelings hurt and everyone loves tofeel recognized, getting your toes stepped on or yourego bruised occasionally will not hurt you. It mighteven make you stronger.I can pretty much guarantee that if you work hard

and are a consistent example of someone who gives a100 percent effort at work, you will not have the timeor desire to worry about some stupid sign. I would alsobet that with enough hard work, someone might makethat sign include you if you show that you deserve it.Should we all be sensitive to what we say and to

whom? Absolutely. Can legislating and demandingthat we do the right thing really make us more sensi-tive to issues? Not in a thousand years. All it does iscreate more hard feelings and cost more money.To me, this begs the question, why does Miss/Mrs.

Verzi still have a job at Sinclair? And, if she does, whywould anyone want to attend a college that seeminglyputs so little emphasis on what is truly right, insteadof what some some left-wing feminist wants to pushfor her own political agenda?

When I was anang s t - f i l l e dteenager the

mere thought of a smallarmy of industrialcranes and bulldozersdestroying Milton-Union High Schoolwould have aroused myappetite for carnage.Myfour-year stint at thehigh school seemedmore like a life sentenceat San Quentin minusthe prison beatings and rapes, but that’sprobably how most people view theirteenaged years while going through thethroes (and woes) of puberty andunchecked hormones.And to be honest that’s exactly how I

felt last week when a small army of in-dustrial cranes and bulldozers actuallydescended on my old stomping groundsand struck the death blows to criticalstructural areas that sent the three-sto-ried beast to the ground in a billow ofdust, asbestos and shameful memories,some good and others bad.This three-ring circus was performed

before the gawking audience of pastgraduates and ranks from the unem-ployed who all turned out to witnesssome old-fashioned wanton destructionlike uninvited funeral guests. When thelast mighty pillar fell the emotionalcrowd lost themselves in reminiscence.For added effect, one of the cigar-

chomping bulldozer operators created alarge pile of red bricks at the perimeterof the safe zone in case sentimental on-lookers wanted a memento from theiralma mater. The crowd members fren-zied as they anxiously scavenged thebroken pile of brick and mortar for sou-venirs like a child picking up his ownteeth after a nasty fistfight.As I watched from the distance I was

confused with how I should feel.Should I feel old? No, I thought, old is

a relative term. If I died next month thatwould make me old right now, eventhough I’m 33 and my 15-year highschool reunion is quickly approaching.So my old high school being torn downdoesn’t make me feel old. Now my up-coming 15-year reunion?Well, that’s an-other story.Or maybe sad? No, I thought, defi-

nitely not sad. Sad would be crowdingaround debris and scavenging bricks be-cause I’m too fickle to realize I don’tneed a symbolic piece of cinderblock torecall my glory days.At the risk of sounding like every

1990s made-for-television movie, whichwere quite popular when I attended high

school, I believe a littlepiece of where you camefrom always stays withyou on the inside —even if you don’t want itto.With but the snap of

a finger I can recollectthe chaotically infa-mous food fight of 1998that I helped orches-trate. The food fighttranspired on the day ofthe National Honor So-

ciety ceremony when a small portion ofmy classmates were dressed to impressin their Sunday best. They served raviolithat day.The debauchery that ensued —helpless nerdy girls running away inhorror in white dresses and gettingsmeared with errant red pasta — bringsto mind scenes of Vietnam movie out-takes.Even though this might come off as

boyish love and clearly violate the stan-dard student/teacher relationship, I canstill remember exactly how Mrs.Levine’s perfume smelled, how her com-mand of the English word inspired me,and how I really wished her name wasMiss Levine.Or the time a pig-nosed senior threat-

ened me on my first day of high schoolas a freshman. “I heard you’re a funnyguy,” the senior (who shall remain name-less because he probably owns a gun)said. “If you don’t make me laugh by theend of the year, I’ll rearrange your face!”And how, on exactly the last day ofschool, I made him laugh so hard hepeed himself a little.Ah, I have so many memories.So I never went up and grabbed a

brick from the pile because, quitefrankly, I don’t need one. I have memo-ries to last a lifetime tucked away wherethey matter most.Because when I really stop and think

about it the only thing I can’t rememberabout high school is what I learnedwhile I was there.So I’m indifferent about the wasteful

annihilation of my former high school,yet firm in my belief that it’s not whereyou come from that matters, it’s who youbecome.Because all in all, you’re just another

brick in the wall.

WASHINGTON (AP) —As public evidence mountsthat the Chinese military isresponsible for stealingmas-sive amounts of U.S. govern-ment data and corporatetradesecrets,theObamaad-ministration is eyeing finesand other trade actions itmay take against Beijing orany other country guilty ofcyberespionage.According to officials fa-

miliar with the plans, theWhite House will lay out anew report Wednesday thatsuggests initial, more-ag-gressive steps theU.S.wouldtake in response to what topauthorities say has been anunrelenting campaign of cy-berstealing linkedto theChi-nese government. Theofficials spokeonconditionofanonymity because theywerenotauthorized to speakpublicly about the threat-ened action.The White House plans

come after a Virginia-basedcybersecurity firmreleasedatorrent of details Mondaythat tied a secret Chinesemilitary unit in Shanghai toyearsof cyberattacksagainstU.S.companies.Afteranalyz-ing breaches that compro-mised more than 140companies, Mandiant hasconcluded that they can belinked to thePeople’sLibera-tionArmy’sUnit 61398.Military experts believe

the unit is part of the Peo-ple’s Liberation Army’scyber-command, which isunder the direct authority ofthe General Staff Depart-ment, China’s version of theJointChiefs ofStaff.As such,its activities would be likelyto be authorized at the high-est levels of China’smilitary.The release ofMandiant’s

report, completewith detailson three of the alleged hack-ersandphotographsofoneofthe military unit’s buildingsin Shanghai, makes publicwhat U.S. authorities havesaid less publicly for years.But it also increases thepressure on the U.S. to takemore forceful action againsttheChinese forwhatexpertssay has been years of sys-tematic espionage.“If the Chinese govern-

ment flew planes into ourairspace, our planes wouldescort them away. If it hap-pened two, three or fourtimes,thepresidentwouldbeon the phone and therewould be threats of retalia-tion,” said formerFBIexecu-tive assistant directorShawn Henry. “This is hap-pening thousands of times aday. There needs to be somedefinition of where the redline is and what the reper-cussionswould be.”

NEW YORK (AP) —You can simply tune intothe Oscars. Or you canwatch them with thepeanut gallery on Twitter.While Hollywood pa-

rades in tuxedos andgowns, grandly celebrat-ing itself, a freewheelingcacophony of quips andsarcasm— something likea digital, million-timesmultiplied version of thosebalcony Muppet onlook-ers, Statler andWaldorf —will provide a welcomeand riotous counter-narra-tive to the pomp.The second-screen expe-

rience is never better thanon Oscar night, when aseparate (and some mightsay superior) entertain-ment experience plays outon social media. The run-ning commentary, inwhich comedians and oth-ers parody the glamorousstars and their sometimeslaughable speeches, hasbecome as central to theAcademy Awards as thered carpet.“Following the Oscars

on Twitter is like watch-ing the show with onehundred million of yourdrunkest friends,” saysAndy Borowitz, the hu-morist and author who’soften been a standouttweeter on Oscar night.Last year, he succinctlysummarized the previoustwo best-picture winners,“The King’s Speech” and“The Artist,” as “an Eng-lish dude who couldn’tspeak” and “a French dudeno one could hear.”Live tweeting major TV

events, from the SuperBowl to the GrammyAwards, has become en-grained in our viewing by

now, forming a virtualwater cooler that hasboosted ratings. But theAcademy Awards streamis particularly captivatingbecause it provides an an-tidote to the on-screen,buttoned-down glamour.It’s as if there’s not an“SAP” button on your re-mote, but a “YUKS” one,bringing you play-by-playfrom some of the funniestpeople in cyberspace. Co-medians assemble as if byduty.“You gotta say some-

thing. Someone has to saysomething,” says come-dian Billy Eichner. “To juststand by and watch it hap-pen is almost too tense.It’s cathartic. You’ve got tojust get it out on Twitterbecause if not, we’re allgoing to be bottled upthinking about how awk-ward Anne Hathawaymade it for one billion peo-ple in real time. I don’t be-grudge her the award; I’mjust saying she’s a ridicu-lous person.”As host of Funny or

Die’s “Billy on the Street,”which airs on Fuse, Eich-ner aggressively and com-ically interviewspassersby about pop cul-ture. So he’s particularlyadept at expressing all-caps mockery when itcomes to the stars of Hol-lywood. In the awards cir-cuit leading up to theOscars, he’s zeroed in onAnne Hathaway, the odds-on favorite to win bestsupporting actress for herperformance in “Les Mis-erables.”In Hathaway, Eichner

recognizes a great actress,but also a striving theatergeek. Nothing is funnier,

he says, “than the mix ofego and lack of self-aware-ness, like Jodie Foster’sGolden Globes speech.”“Ultimately, it’s just fun

because the whole thing isso ridiculous,” says Eich-ner. “It’s like, why notcomment on it? What is iteven there for other thanto be commented on?”The Oscars has become

one of the biggest socialmedia events of the year.Last year’s telecast at onepoint set a then-record for18,718 tweets-per-second.A statuette could behanded out for a newaward: most tweetedtweet. In 2011, that honorwent to The Onion, whichlamented: “How rude —not a single characterfrom Toy Story 3 botheredto show up.”Last year, “The Artist”

may have won best pic-ture, but Martin Scors-ese’s “Hugo” easily bestedit with 110,179 tweets to78,509 for “The Artist,” ac-cording to Twitter metricsanalyst TweetReach.This year, the academy

has partnered with Twit-ter to track the top cate-gories with an indexmeasuring the percentageof positive tweets aboutthe nominees. Leading asof Tuesday wasn’t the fa-vorite “Argo,” nor was itSteven Spielberg’s “Lin-coln,” but rather David O.Russell’s “Silver LiningsPlaybook.” So if the film,widely considered thedark horse in the best pic-ture race, wins on Sunday,Twitter will have pre-dicted it.Mark Ghuneim, chief

executive of social mediameasurement firm Tren-

drr, says that during theOscars, Twitter is “‘Mys-tery Science Theater3000,’ for real,” referringto the cult TV show inwhich a man and tworobot sidekicks wisecracktheir way through B-movies.“It’s really like you’ll

never watch TV alone everagain, if you don’t wantto,” says Ghuneim. “It’s anatural evolution in tele-vision and that’s why it’sso prevalent.”With real-time data

from services like Trendrr,the Oscar conversationcan be tracked, revealingwhich moments resoundand provoke audiences.Last year, Angelina Jolie’sleg-baring pose as a pre-senter immediately putTwitter in hyper-drive,spawning parody accountsfrom the perspective ofher right leg.It’s such moments

where Twitter becomesOscar’s dance partner.Viewers celebrate with —and chortle at — Holly-wood’s self-seriousness,combining together for aTV experience greaterthan the sum of its parts.When the 85th annual

Academy Awards air Sun-day on ABC, countless co-medians and others athome will be ready ontheir mobile phones andlaptops with tweets toskewer.“I just pray we all sur-

vive Anne Hathaway’s ac-ceptance speech,” saysEichner. “And, to be hon-est, I have my doubts.”

How often do you haveto make six good plays ina row to make a contract?Surely not often, buthere’s a case where de-clarer performed thatfeat.West led the king of

spades against fourhearts, taken withdummy’s ace. South nowmade his first good playwhen he ruffed a spadewith the seven of hearts.South made his second

good play when he led thejack of hearts, not the five,to dummy’s king. Thiswell-considered play paidoff handsomely when de-clarer next led the six ofhearts and played the fiveon it, thus retaining thelead in dummy.South’s third good play

came when he ruffed an-other spade, pursuing hisplan to reduce his trumplength to that of East’s.The effect of these initialplays was that declarer’sonly remaining trumpswere the A-10-9, whileEast still had the Q-4.South would have pre-

ferred to be in dummy atthis point in order to ruffstill another spade, but hewas in his own hand andhad to find a way to forceWest to give him another

ruff.He accomplished this

by making his fourth goodplay when he cashed theA-K of clubs, denudingWest of his clubs. Thiswas followed by declarer’sfifth good play when heexited with the king of di-amonds.West took the king with

the ace and cashed thequeen of diamonds, butthen had to lead a spadeor a diamond. Southruffed the return, reduc-ing his holding to the A-10of hearts and three ofclubs, while East had theQ-4 of hearts and jack ofclubs. Declarer now exitedwith a club — good playNo. 6 — forcing East towin and yield the last twotricks and the contract.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old student who readsyour column every day, andI hope you can help me. Iwant to be closer to my par-ents. They yell at my sib-lings and me and call usnames. It hurts me verymuch. If we make a mis-take — even a little one —or forget our chores, we canexpect to be insulted, yelledat, etc. I have learned totune them out, but I don’tunderstand how such intel-ligent people like my par-ents can act this way.Years ago, I decided to

talk to them about it, butthat was seen as an act ofdefiance. My parents, espe-cially my father, can’t takeconstructive criticism andrespond with more yelling.Each of our argumentsleaves me upset for days.But I still believe I need todo something. I want to beclose to them before it’s toolate, but I have lost somuch respect and trust forthem, and they probablyfeel the same. Please, Abby,I don’t know what to do. Iwould greatly appreciateyour advice, although Iknow you are very busy.Thank you for taking thetime to read my letter.

— HOPEFUL INNEW YORK

DEAR HOPEFUL: Youhave my sympathy. Harshwords can leave woundsthat last longer than phys-ical bruises. Some parentsdevelop hair-trigger tem-pers when they are underfinancial pressure. Others,without realizing it, modeltheir behavior on the waytheir parents raised THEMand overreact when theirchildren make mistakes.Because you haven’t

been able to get through toyour father, talk to atrusted adult relative aboutthe fact that you would liketo be closer to your parentsbut don’t know how. If theyhear it from another adult,they might be more open tothe message.

DEAR ABBY: I am a26-year-old mother of a 13-month-old daughter,“Lissa.” I am a “by-the-book” mom. I’m still breast-feeding and I am strictabout what I allow mydaughter to eat. She hasjust barely started to eattable food. I don’t want mychild to have bad eatinghabits, so I try to give heronly healthy items at din-nertime. Her dad, on theother hand, thinks it’sfunny to give her junk, in-cluding sugar. When shewas only 2 months old, Icaught him giving herlicorice. The other day, it

was soda and ice cream. Idon’t agree with this, andit’s causing us a lot offights.When we sit down to

dinner, I have Lissa’s mealset aside. But before I cansit down, her dad startsgiving her things off hisplate and then she won’teat her dinner. I have toldhim I don’t like it, but hedoesn’t understand that Iwant to teach her good eat-ing habits. Am I wrong intrying so hard? Or should Ijust give up and let her eatjunk?

— TRYING MY BESTIN CALIFORNIA

DEAR TRYING: Par-enting is supposed to be ateam sport and I’m moreconcerned about the factthat Lissa’s dad is under-cutting you than what’sgoing into her mouth rightnow. If he continues, in an-other year or two, your lit-tle girl will regard him as apushover and you as a bigmeanie. You may need animpartial mediator to getthrough to Lissa’s father,and the perfect person to dothat is your child’s pediatri-cian. Let the doctor tellDaddy that the more she isgiven sweets, the moreshe’ll crave them.The only thing about

your approach that mightbe of concern to me is yourcalling yourself a “by-the-book” mother. A conscien-tious parent not only goesby the book and is consis-tent, but she also uses herhead and listens to herheart. I hope you will re-member that.

CHARLESTON, S.C.(AP) — An experiment inthe age-old art of wine-making began onWednes-day as a California winerysubmerged four cases ofCabernet Sauvignon inCharleston Harbor to seehow the ocean affects theaging of the wine.Mira Winery of St. He-

lena, Calif., placed the bot-tles of wine in yellow steelmesh cages and then sub-merged them offshore inan undisclosed location. Inthree months, the winewill be removed and sub-jected to chemical testsand tasting by experts tosee what differences it hasfrom wine aged on land.The winery could produceand sell underwater-agedwine in the future if thetrial goes well.While wineries in Eu-

rope have experimented inrecent years with oceanaging of wine, the idea isnovel in the United States,said Jim “Bear” Dyke Jr.,the Charleston residentwho owns the Napa Valleywinery. At least a handful

of European wineries haveproduced underwater-aged wine, some of whichhas been sold in the U.S.Winemakers have long

known wine recoveredfrom sunken ships has aunique taste and theocean is thought to havesomething to do with that.Dyke and his colleagues

expect the water pressure,temperature and gentleswaying from currents toproduce unique effects. Hewould not specify thedepth of the water inwhich the wine will besubmerged.“This is a very exciting

thing for me as a wine-maker,” said Gustavo Gon-zalez, Mira’s winemaker.“When you make wine it’spretty much the samething for everybody. Youcan change it up a bit butand see what happens andyour cabernet may taste alittle bit different fromyour neighbor’s cabernet.”The idea is to find out if

ocean aging has the poten-tial to change that, hesaid.“We’ll pull it out in late

May and see what the ef-fect of the water tempera-

ture, the water pressureand, more interesting tome, the swaying motion ofthe water does to thewine,” he said.Michael Kaiser, the di-

rector of communicationsfor WineAmerica, the Na-tional Association ofAmerican Wineries, saidhe had not heard of aging

wine in water.“It’s correct it does

change the makeup of thewine.When you store wineit’s not supposed to bestored underwater and es-pecially in salinizedwater,” he said. “But it’sinteresting that someonewould experiment with itto see what it’s like.”

Big year fornorthern lightstourism in AK

Winery attempts aging wine in ocean

BY JOSHUABERLINGERAssociated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP)— Bill Carter had beenplanning his bucket-listwinter vacation to Alaskafor 30 years, and he could-n’t have picked a bettertime to take it.The retired chemist from

Jesup,Ga., didn’tmind thatFebruary temperatures canhover near minus 40 de-grees on the outskirts ofFairbanks, because thenight sky there offeredCarter something mostpeople never get to see: theaurora borealis.“Yellows, oranges,

greens. There were lightbursts that would comefrom time to time,” Cartersaid during his trip. “Therewere light rays that seemedto come from the groundup, and from the sky down.”The northern lights can

be seen on dark, clearnights when charged solarparticles strike the upperatmosphere near theNorthPole.Because of a predictedpeak in a solar cycle, thisyear and next year are ex-pected to offer prime view-ing for the elusivephenomenon. So Alaska’stourism industry is gearingup for thousands of visitorslike Carter — including jetloads from Japan — whoare willing to wait outsidein freezing weather, oftenfor hours past midnight, inhopes of catching a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of thelights.Fairbanks, the largest

city in Alaska’s interior, iswell-suited for auroratourism because it’s locatedjust at the edge of the “au-roral oval,” a ring-shapedregion that circles thenorth magnetic pole whereauroral activity is mostcommon. It also has lesscloud cover because of itsdistance from the ocean,and tourists can usually es-cape the city’s light pollu-tion by driving just 10miles (17 kilometers) out.Lonely Planet, NationalGeographic and the LosAngeles Times travel sec-tion have all named Fair-banks or its surroundingareas as one of the besttourist destinations thisyear.Dixie Burbank got a

glimpse of the aurora as achild growing up inWiscon-sin, but as an adult alwayswanted to travel to wherethe lights are more power-ful.“This has been some-

thing I’ve talked about foryears, finally making ourtrek up toAlaska to see thenorthern lights,” said Bur-bank, of Sun Prairie, Wis.,who, like Carter, saw thelights during a visit toAlaska this month. “Be-cause of the solar max, thiswas the year to do it.”Solar cycles last roughly

10 or 11 years and the“solar max” is the cyclepeak, when the sun emitsthe most energy.“The heavens just

opened up with activity,”Burbank added. “It’s sheerexcitement to see the lightscome out.”

Riding the storm

Florida to expandMedicaid underhealth overhaul

Italian traditions providebuffers to the crisis

BY COLLEEN BARRYAssociated Press

VICENZA, Italy (AP) —Self-made Italians likeAmedeo Tartarini never ex-pected to need help.Tartarini’sgoldsmithbusi-

ness thrived for decades inItaly’spostwarboom.Hewasone of legions of small busi-nessmen who made Italy anindustrial power. With ahouse, money in the bankanda teemingworkshop,theaffable artisan never ques-tioned his financial security—until it was too late.As Italy’s financial crisis

deepened, Tartarini ignoredsigns his business was fail-ing, butpersevered in thebe-lief that skill would outshinecheaper competition fromChina.Hard work and qual-ity, he was convinced, wouldprotecthimfromthe forcesofglobalization.They did not.“Ialways trusted itwould-

n’t end thisway forme,”Tar-tarini said,hiseyesdarkenedwith regret.“I had to sell all Ihad to continue, hoping tomake it.”In many rich countries, a

person like Tartarini, whohas lost his home, his busi-ness and his life’s savings,might have ended up on thestreet. Instead, he has man-aged to keepafloat thanks tofriends and communityspirit. Italy’s extraordinarysocial safety nets, rooted incenturies of tradition, havehelped soften the blow formillionsof Italians—and,sofar at least, insulated thena-tion fromthescenesof explo-sive unrest that haveunfolded in other crisis-hitsouthern European coun-tries. Italyheads intogeneralelections this weekend thatpromise to determine whatshape thesecrisisbufferswilltake in the future.Institutions like family,

hometown loyalty andchurch activism have com-bined with a generous wel-fare state to maintain socialpeace, despite escalatingepisodes of individual finan-cial collapse. Meanwhile,Italians’ own obsession withkeeping up appearances at

all costs — a cultural traitknown as “la bella figura,” orcutting a fine figure — hasmade them allergic to publicdisplays of misery, whilemasking the true extent ofnational hardship.TheNo.1factorinItaly’sso-

cial equilibrium: The Family.The postwar economic-boomgenerationofprudentsaversislovingly maintaining thosethat followed. Grandparentscare for grandchildren, whileparents help finance, or evenbuy, that first home for just-married children.And youngItalians may be just as in-clined to live at home withmom and dad well into their30s,with no social stigma.Anorganic extension of family is“campanilismo”—afierceloy-altytothevillagebell-tower—whichhasmeantthatItalianslookout foreachother intheirhomecommunities,whichareoften better suited than thestate to find the best ways tohelp those inneed.Experts see good and bad

in this Italianway of life.On the one hand, it has

helped to maintain not onlysocial stability, but also highliving standards, in Italy’sworst economic crisis sincethe end of WorldWar II. Onthe other, it has been a socialcrutch that has eroded com-petitiveness, sappedopportu-nity for young people andperhapsput Italyonthepathof long-term — if decidedlygenteel—decline.Tableaus of daily life in

Italian towns and cities pro-videabundantevidenceof so-cial buffers at play.Italy’s vastnetworkof vol-

unteersoffer servicesat littleor no cost, with such organi-zations as retired corps ofAlpine soldiers staffing recy-cling centers or managingparking at public events inexchange for a fraction ofwhat itwouldcost to contractout the job.Visit any Italian play-

ground on aworkday,partic-ularly in the wealthy north,and small children aretended by a grandmother orgrandfather, supplementinga paucity of daycare for chil-dren under 3 and providing

after-school care for olderchildren — mostly so moth-ers can work. Research bythe IRES think tank findsthat this help sustains theemployment of 800,000women — who in turn gen-erate 2.4 percent of GDP.The research concludes

that grandparents’ contribu-tions don’t just sustain anddeepen familial relation-ships, “but are fundamen-tally linked to the economicsystems of social services.”Older Italians, defined hereas over 54, contribute everyyear around €18.3 billion($24.5 billion) to the Italianeconomy, or 1.2 percent ofGDP, according to IRES.That sum amounts toroughlywhat Italy’s economyhas grown annually for thelast two decades.“It is reasonable for 35-

year-olds to be living withtheir parents, and wholefamilies may be relying on agrandfather’s pension. Oneor two incomes may supportfour or five people, and it isnot considered dysfunc-tional,” said Raj Badiani, anIHSGlobal Insight analyst.Othereconomic factorsare

at play in preventing socialtumult despite youth unem-ployment of 37 percent:— Italy’s robust under-

ground cash economy allowsmany young people to workfour or fivemonths a year insectors such as tourism, al-lowing them to pad theirpockets with cash — albeitwith corrosive consequencesfor the nation’s tax receipts.—Unlike Spain, Italy has

avoided a housing bubble.Housing prices are steady ina country with 80 percenthome ownership. It meanslegions of families, many ofmodest means, may have ahome in the city andanotherin the countryside, perhapsin a townwhere their familyoriginated, allowing them totake thekindofholidays thatforeigners fantasize about—passing days in idyllic set-tings and feasting on cheaplocal specialties.—And Italians are exem-

plary savers, unlike theirgovernment,which has beenplaced under internationalscrutiny for itspoorhandlingof public debt, now over 126percentofGDPandexpectedtoworsen.A new study by Pioneer

Investments and Unicreditfound Italian savings arefour times its public debt, or€8.5 trillioncomparedwithadebt of nearly €2 trillion. Inother words, Italy’s publicdebt is 22 percent of its pri-vate wealth—which puts itin line with Germany andthe United States. Italy in2011 had higher householdfinancial assets than FranceandGermany,andwasabovethe eurozone average, ac-

cording to the Italian Bank-ingAssociation.“It has been this high rate

of financial wealth and thecapacity of Italian families tosave compared with otherEuropean countries that hasprotected Italy from the cri-sis,” said Giovanni Sabatini,generaldirectorof the ItalianBankingAssociation.As the crisis wears on,

Sabatini says, “family debtsare growing, and the capitalis being eroded ... But thestarting point was very ele-vated,whichstill guaranteesthe solidity of the system.”There is a flip side:While

family welfare provides acushion, it does not allow ef-ficient distribution of re-sources and leaves theyounger generation at themercy of those that came be-fore. It’s not for nothing thatItaly is knownas a gerontoc-racy, where the strings arepulled by the elderly— fromthe highest levels of govern-ment to big business to theextended family.“If there were away to in-

stitutionalize the passage ofthis wealth, things would bemore natural compared tothe current condition, whichis tied to generosity,” saidMarcello Calabro, who ranthe study for Pioneer.Social buffers have also

encouraged many people,likeTartarini, to ignore signsof the crisis and carry on inthe hope they can outlast it.And “la bella figura” can cre-ate an illusion that all iswellwhen in fact things arefalling apart.“It is a crisis of identity,”

said the Rev. Giovanni San-dona, coordinator for theCatholic charity Caritas innortheastern Italy. “It is notjust an economic crisis.”When Tartarini’s world

crumbled,he found he couldrely on friends and Catholiccharity.These days, Tartarini

takes whatever handymanjobs foundby thenunsathisVicenza parish. And friendstake him on trips to the gro-cery store, where they payfor his, too.Tartarini, in well-worn

work clothes and heavyblack shoes, spent a recentmorning preparing to movewith his wife and 25-year-old son from a rented ac-commodation he could nolonger afford into a free va-cated apartment belongingto theparish church ofNove,a ceramic-making townnorth of Vicenza. Caritashas reached out to parisheswith empty residential prop-erties to house people whohave lost their lodging in thecrisis.“For me, it’s an incredible

thing,”Tartarini said. “I hada few days in which I didn’tknowwhere I would go.”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.(AP) — Gov. Rick Scott an-nouncedplansWednesday toexpandMedicaid coverage toroughly900,000morepeopleunder the federal healthoverhaul,a surprisedecisionfrom the vocal critic of Pres-ident BarackObama’s plan.Scott said he will ask the

Legislature to expand theprogram under a bill thatwould expire in three years,after which it would requirerenewed legislative support.He’s the seventhRepublicangovernor so far to proposeexpanding the taxpayer-funded health insuranceprogram.Scott said he would sup-

port theexpansionas longasthe federal governmentpays100 percent of the increasedcosts, which is the deal of-fered to statesby theObamaadministration for the firstthree years. After that, thefederal government said itwould pay 90 percent of thecost for the additional en-rollees.The governor said he

gainednewperspectiveafterhis mother’s death last year,calling his decision to sup-port a key provision of theAffordable Care Act a “com-passionate, common sensestep forward,” and not a“white flag of surrender togovernment-run health-care.”“Before I ever dreamed of

standing here today as gov-ernor of this great state, Iwas a strong advocate forbetter ways to improvehealthcare than the govern-ment-run approach taken inthe President’s healthcarelaw. I believe in a differentapproach. But, regardless ofwhat I — or anyone else —believes, a Supreme Court

decision and a presidentialelection made the Presi-dent’s healthcare mandatesthe law of the land,” Scottsaid at a news conference.The governor said he still

worries that the president’splan could “lead to less pa-tient choice, worse care, andhigher costs” but he can’t “ingood conscience deny theuninsured access to care.”Scott stressed he won’t sim-ply deny new Medicaid re-cipients health insuranceafter the three years are up,but said he will spend thattimemeasuring how the ex-pansion impacts healthcarecosts, quality and access.Scott,a formerCEOof the

HCAhospital chain,enteredpolitics in 2009 running na-tional cableTV commercialscriticizing the president’splan. Florida led the way inchallenging the ACA in alawsuit that went all theway to the Supreme Court.Scott also made the roundson conservative talk showsrepeatedly expressing con-cern that expanding Medi-caidwould put toomuch of astrain on Florida taxpayers.At one point, he said the

expansion would cost $26billion over the next decade,but the state’s health careagency slashed its estimateto $3 billion after backlashfrom lawmakers over howthe initial figure was calcu-lated. After Obama was re-elected,Scott toneddownhisrhetoric, signaling hewanted to workwith federalhealth officials.He even flewtoWashington to meet withHealthandHumanServicesSecretaryKathleenSebeliuslastmonth to discuss the ex-pansion.Florida lawmakers must

still sign off on Scott’s deci-sion, and the Legislaturedoesn’t meet until nextmonth.

and 1923, when he married Lillie, andMary had returned to Hungary withtheir American-born children. It washere that Tennant hit a brick wall.

“I searched the censuses, birthrecords, death records, everywhere Icould think of and I couldn’t find any-thing about the children,” Tennant said.

Just as Tennant was about to give up,Tate called and said she had two lettersthat had been written to Joe Nimety in1946 and 1947 that might contain valu-able information. The catch? They werewritten in Hungarian.

“Dad’s always had these letters thatbelonged to his father. At differenttimes through the years, I’ve tried toget them translated, but was never ableto,” Tate said. “Then I thought aboutAmie and her church having missionar-ies who spoke different languages.”

Tennant is a member of The Churchof Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,also known as Mormon.

So Tennant turned to Facebook,where she posted, “Attention, all myMormon returned missionaries! Doesanyone speak Hungarian?” Within acouple of days, she received a responsefrom a friend of a friend who had servedhis mission in Hungary, spoke the lan-guage fluently and offered to translatethe letters.

“About two weeks later, he sent theletters back translated, but he went astep further,” Tennant recalled. “Theletters were written in a dialect of Hun-garian that was different than what heknew. So he found an older Hungarianwoman who lived in Hungary duringthe time the letters were written andshe was able to confirm things for himand tell him where the letters camefrom geographically.”

The letters, which came from an areanear Budapest no longer found on amap, were from Joe Nimety’s son,Jozsef, and daughter, Iren — the half-brother and half-sister of Lewis Nimety,who remembered as a child, seeing hisfather take the letters out from time totime and cry while reading them.

In his letter, Jozsef informs his fatherthat he, Iren and another sister are allmarried with children. Then, he makesan impassioned plea for his father’shelp in getting him back to America. “Iask just one thing of you; that you findmy birth certificate and send it to me.”

Daughter Iren writes an emotional

missive filled with longing to see her fa-ther. “These rows don’t allow me to ex-press the joy and happiness I feel atexchanging words with my dear dad, ifonly in letters … I would be happier ifwe could see each other and speak withone another.” She goes on to tell himabout her children and husband, Jani,who adds a note of his own at the end ofIren’s letter including a request similarto Jozsef ’s: For Iren’s birth certificate soshe could return to the U.S.

Tate said reading the translated let-ters gave her a feeling of awe at findingthese missing pieces of her family puz-zle. Her father, she said, was moved totears. “He was so thankful that he couldfinally hear something about his family.He felt compassion toward his siblingsand connected with his dad againthrough these letters,” she said.

It seems Joe Nimety might have re-sponded to at least one of his children’srequests, since Jozsef ultimately endedup returning to America. Lewis Nimetyrecalled meeting his grown half-brotherin Leggitt, Ky., circa 1948. “I was about15. I remember him and Dad out on theporch talking and we couldn’t under-stand anything they were saying be-cause they were speaking Hungarian,”Lewis Nimety said. “I never saw himagain after that.”

Still, it was heartening for Lewis

Nimety to learn that his half-brotherhad made it to the States, possibly withthe help of their father. “His visit wouldhave been a couple of years after his let-ter was written, so he must have gottenhis birth certificate and come to Amer-ica,” Tennant said.

Unfortunately, the trail has run dry.Through census records, the cousins fol-lowed Joszef ’s travels to places includ-ing New York, but they lost track ofhim. “Obviously, he made it to the U.S.,but I can’t find him. We know there areat least two other half-sisters, but wedon’t know their married names,” Ten-nant said.

“We’ve left lots of messages on ge-nealogy boards, including Hungarianones. We don’t know if they’re in theU.S. or Hungary. We know they’re outthere, we just don’t know where.”

Tennant and Tate vow not to aban-don their search for answers.

In addition to posting on the Inter-net, they plan a visit to Lorain, wherea large number of Hungarian immi-grants settled around the turn of the20th century. There, they hope to con-nect with someone familiar with thesurname Nimety or its original incar-nation, Nimeth.

“It would be nice if we could findsome relatives and let Dad meet them,”said Tate.

No matter what type of food they enjoy, justabout everyone has a favourite restaurant thatthey love for its menu and atmosphere. A giftcertificate from a restaurant of choice is alwaysa great idea to please the person you love. Thevast majority of eateries offer attractive giftcertificates or cards, and even small family-rundiners will likely be happy to hand-write a giftcertificate upon demand.A restaurant gift certificate is also a thoughtful

way to thank a neighbour for helping you witha chore or friends who came out on a Saturdayto help you move. It isn’t necessary to give alarge amount. Sometimes $20 can make all thedifference between a simple meal and a realtreat, accompanied by a glass of wine or adessert.If you’re giving the gift certificate to a person

who regularly eats out, you could choose a grill-room, a steak house, or a pub. One original ideais to give a gift certificate from a breakfastrestaurant: what luxury, to sleep late and thentreat yourself to breakfast out!Everyone loves to spoil themselves with a

tasty culinary treat sometimes, especiallywhen it doesn’t cost them a cent. That’s whyrestaurant gift certificates are so popular: theyare the ideal gift for Christmas and otherspecial occasions!

The gift of a good meal

When you decide to dine out, it’s important to choose the rightrestaurant according to your taste. Choosing well will allow you tohave an enjoyable outing that meets your expectations.

A pub and its lively atmosphere is the ideal place to enjoy a goodmeal. Loud music or the sound of televised sports events will meanyou can have lively conversations without disturbing the othercustomers. For a romantic evening, or for serious conversations, arestaurant with a quieter atmosphere and filtered lighting would be amore appropriate choice.

A FAMILY MEALIf you’re going out with the

children, the ideal choice wouldbe a family restaurant with aplayroom or some other kind ofentertainment, such as placematsto colour. Here you can eatquietly without the childrengetting impatient.

NEW RESTAURANTSOf course it’s always

reassuring to choose a well-established restaurant that hasa good reputation. However,discovering new restaurants,which frequently offer aninnovative culinaryexperience such as fusion

cuisine, vegetarian meals, raw food dishes, etc, can make a nicechange.

LIMITED BUDGETSEven if you have a limited budget for eating out you’ll

always be able to find somewhere that suits yourneeds. To save money, keep in mind that manyrestaurants offer weekday specials or menusthat can be shared. If you avoid orderingappetizers or aperitifs, it will not onlyresult in a smaller bill but you’ll also beable to eat out more often!

The art of choosing a good restaurant

You have to know what kindof atmosphere you’re looking for toreally enjoy your dining experience.

Giving a gift certificate for a restaurant is to give a moment of happiness to the ones we love.

Not the way Piqua planned itBY ROB KISERSports [email protected]

CENTERVILLE —Sometimes, when you area moving program for-ward — there are smallsteps backwards along theway.And that is the only

way Piqua coach HeathButler can look at Fridaynight’s 61-27 loss to Fair-mont in Butler D-I sec-tional play at Centerville

High School.The Indians final mark

of 7-16 was the most winsfor a Piqua boys teamsince the 2007-08 season— and with only two sen-iors in Josh Holfinger andLuke Karn the program isbright.And while he under-

stood Fairmont was muchbetter than the 5-17record the Firebirdsbrought into the game,Butler wanted more thananything to give the twoseniors a tournament winand end Piqua’s six-gamelosing streak in the post-

season.But, things don’t always

go as planned.“There is no question

this team took a giant stepforward,” Butler said.“What stinks abouttonight is it ends the sea-son. But, there is no ques-tion we took a huge stepforward. Not just in ourplaying ability, but how wehandle situations and thatis because of the two sen-iors.”Piqua led 4-2 in the

early going — but fromthere, Fairmont was incommand.

The Firebirds, withdeadly 3-point shooting, apresence on the boardsand a in-your face defense,scored the next eightpoints and were in front15-8 by the end of the firstquarter.By halftime it was 36-

12 — with Holfinger andErik Vondenhuevel’s sixpoints each accounting forthe entire Piqua offense intheopening two quarters.“We got hurt on the

boards early,” Butler said.“And that’s one of thethings we talked about —we have to rebound the

basketball. And then, wemissed some easy shots.The thing just kind ofsnowballed.”And Fairmont is not the

type of team you can comefrom behind against —the Firebirds don’t turnthe ball over or take badshots.“They don’t make mis-

takes and they will workthe ball until they getgood shots,” Butler said.“We knew this was goingto be a test. We knew eventhough it was a 13 seed

DAYTONA BEACH,Fla. (AP) — All DanicaPatrick needed to do waskeep her car intact.She didn't exactly fol-

low her team owner's ad-vice — start and thenpark after two laps, hejoked — but she certainlysaved an all-out push forSunday's Daytona 500.Patrick started on the

pole for the first 150-mileBudweiser Duel beforeshe coasted and finished17th out of 23 cars. She'llkeep the top spot for Sun-day's Daytona 500.She led the field to

green, then quietly fadedto the back, never givingherself a chance to race forthe win."I suppose there's a

sense of relief" she keptthe pole, Patrick said. "Butat the same point in time,I'm a race car driver, andit's not fun to have to pro-tect and be careful and becautious and drop back attimes."Patrick was nowhere

near the four-lap sprint tothe finish that saw KevinHarvick hold off Greg Bif-fle for the win.Patrick became the first

woman in history to win apole in NASCAR's SprintCup series. Team ownerGene Haas even sug-gested — perhaps, jok-ingly — that Patrick call ita day after a couple oflaps.Not a chance."We really just wanted

to run probably 10 or 15laps and be in the pack, bein front," crew chief TonyGibson said. "Once we gotinto a stalemate, we fellback, the inside line was-n't moving and it was justtime to get out."No driver has won the

Daytona 500 from the polesince Dale Jarrett in 2000.She can't rest easy yet,

not with Cup practicesFriday and Saturday,where any wreck couldsend her to the back of thefield. But she passed thefirst major of Speedweekssince she thrust herselfand NASCAR into the na-tional spotlight with a his-tory-making run at thepole for "The Great Amer-ican Race.""My nerves will be

calmed down a little bitSaturday afternoon whenpractice is over and ourcar's in one piece," Gibson

said.Her debrief was, well,

brief. Her No. 10 Chevro-let had a tachometer issueand she enjoyed takingthe outside lane.Other than those tid-

bits, Patrick had littleanalysis for her mundaneperformance."I hate coming to the

end like that and just lag-ging back," she said."That's not fun, but it'salso really ignorant to godrive up into the pack andbe part of an accident forabsolutely no reason.You're really not going tolearn much there."Patrick knows all about

how miserable it can bedriving in the back of thefield, with no seriouschance for the checkeredflag. Her average startwas 36th and her averagefinish was 28th in her 10Cup races last season. Shegot caught in a crash onjust the second lap of herDaytona 500 debut lastseason and finished 38th.Patrick has struggled in

three NASCAR seasonsand has never finishedbetter than 17th. Shemade the fulltime jump tothe top series this season.Her chance to show

what she could do racingup front from the startnever got going."It's not fun racing like

that, I know it's not a lotof fun for her," Gibsonsaid. "Our car's in onepiece for now."Patrick is the fresh face

of NASCAR heading intothe series' season-opener.She signed autographswithout slowing a step asshe whisked through thefan zone on her way to thehauler. Patrick fanscamped out on seats atopthe garage and yelled,"Danica, we love you!" asshe went to the hauler.She's handled the pres-

sure of the pole with thesame ease she handledthe No. 10. Patrick saidThursday's run was com-parable to a test session.If she keeps the top spot

until Sunday, all she'llneed to do is pick whereshe'll race, not when todrop back"Do I have to start on

the inside on Sunday? I'mnot really sure," she said."Where does the polestart? The outside lookedpretty nice."

GOODYEAR,Ariz. (AP)— Terry Francona frozelike a rookie manager.When the winning run

crossed home plate in theninth inning Friday, giv-ing Cleveland an 11-10comeback win over theCincinnati Reds in Fran-cona's spring debut withthe Indians, the two-timeWorld Series winner was-n't quite sure what to do."I just don't know if

everybody knew it was awalk-off," Francona saidwith a laugh. "Everybodywas kind of lookingaround. Nobody knew howto act."For Francona, it had

been a while.Back in a dugout for the

first time since partingways with the Boston RedSox after the 2011 season,Francona opened a newera with the revitalizedIndians, who after luringhim away from broadcast-ing in October, spentnearly $120 million onfree agents to improve aclub that lost 94 gameslast season.Francona's got some

work to do to get the Indi-ans back into contention,but this was a start."Yeah, today was good,"

Francona said. "Thestarters got three inningsjust like we wanted.Everybody got an at-bat ortwo to kind of shake offthe rust a little bit."There was plenty of cor-

rosion as the teams com-bined for 21 runs, 27 hits,four homers and somehorrendous pitching.The Reds led 10-8 going

to the bottom of the ninthbefore the Indians loadedthe bases against relieverCarlos Contreras.Cincinnati manager

Dusty Baker brought inDrew Hayes andMike Mc-Dade, acquired on waiversfrom Toronto in Novem-ber, sliced a three-rundouble into the left-fieldcorner to win it.Cincinnati's Joey Votto

singled in his first two at-bats as the defending NLWest champions built a 5-0 lead in the first withsome help from the Indi-ans, who let an easy flyball drop to score tworuns.Votto, the 2010 NL

MVP, reported to trainingcamp healthy after miss-ing 48 games in 2012 fol-lowing two arthroscopicsurgeries on his left knee.He's been given a spot

on Team Canada's rosterfor the upcoming WorldBaseball Classic, but Vottowants to play a few moregames and see how hefeels before committing tothe event.Baker likes what he's

seen so far from his firstbaseman."Joey looked great, ac-

tually," he said. "He wasrunning the bases well.”

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) —Rory McIlroy and TigerWoods now have plenty ofcompany — somewhereother than the Match PlayChampionship.One day after the best

two players in the worldwent home, more topseeds followed Fridaywhen golf's most unpre-dictable tournamentserved up another re-minder that the only timethe word "upset" shouldbe used is to describe theguys who are no longerplaying.Luke Donald, the No. 3

seed who is regardedamong the best in matchplay, suffered his worstloss in 25 matches at thistournament. Louis Oost-huizen (No. 4) and JustinRose (No. 5) never evenreached the 17th tee whenit was time for them toleave.When another wild day

ended at Dove Mountain,Masters champion BubbaWatson was the last manstanding among the top 10seeds."This game ... it's a toss-

up," Watson said aftergoing 22 holes to beat JimFuryk. "You can't reallyjudge who's going to win,or bet who's going to win.It really means nothing, iswhat I'm saying."At least he's still play-

ing, even though he madeit hard on himself.Watson missed a 5-foot

birdie putt on the 18thhole that would have wonthe match. He missed an-other 5-foot birdie putt onthe first extra hole. Hehad to stand to the side ofthe green as Furyk stoodover a 12-foot putt to winthe match. Given new life,Watson finally advancedto the third round.It was the first time

since this World GolfChampionship began in1999 that only one top-10seed was remaining aftertwo rounds."I think we're beyond

surprises, in this event es-

pecially," Graeme McDow-ell said after needing 20holes to beat Alex Noren."Anybody can have a greatday and anybody can havea tough day. It's whatmakes the game exciting,and it's what makes thisgame extremely fickle andextremely frustrating."And fun?"Yeah, it's fun when

you're sitting in a car com-ing back from a secondplayoff hole having won,"McDowell said. "I drovepast Alex Noren in the carpark and he's dragging hisflight bag to the lockerroom. And he's not havingfun."Donald, who birdied his

last two holes Thursday towin his opening match,didn't know what hit him.Scott Piercy won the

first three holes, and ifthat wasn't enough, he hita 4-iron into the cup foreagle on the fifth hole andwas on his way to a 7-and-6 win, a margin known asa "dog license" in Britain.Back in the day, it used tocost 7 schillings and sixpence.Donald felt like a

wounded pup."Losing (stinks) and it's

very disappointing," Don-ald said. "But I wouldhave liked to have givenhim a bit better of amatch."Piercy is having a blast

in his first match playsince he won $2 million inLas Vegas for somethingcalled "The UltimateChallenge," which wastwo days of match playand two days of strokeplay.All he can get from this

event is $1.5 million, andhe still has to win fourmore times, starting withSteve Stricker on Satur-day.Robert Garrigus never

trailed against Oost-huizen — Garrigus hasn'ttrailed at all this week —and sounded as though hehad penciled himself intothe final.

FAIRFIELD — Piquasenior wrestler Drew Du-rand isstill alivein theFairfieldD-I dis-t r i c tt ourna-m e n tafter thefirst dayof competition.Durand, wrestling at

195 pounds, opened theday with a tough matchagainst Fairfield’sStephen Ludwig.The hometown Indian

If you move out of your homewhile it’s on the market, you’ll expectyour real estate agent to handleshowings in your absence. But howdo you avoid the unwanted attentionthat a vacant home can attract fromuninvited intruders?There are many ways to increase

your security. While your agentlikely won’t have the time availableto constantly monitor your home,

you do have the option of regis-tering with the local police de-partment, so that officersassigned to your neighborhoodcan keep an eye on your homeand perform security checks asneeded – generally at no charge.If you have a security system

already installed, be sure to no-tify your service that the houseis empty, and provide a localemergency contact number.Alsoemploy a caretaker for the

grounds, to keep the yard clean andmaintained for a more lived-in look.Stop your newspaper deliveries andmake sure your mail is being for-warded to your new address afteryour big moving day.Don’t leave anything valuable be-

hind, and be sure to program all ofthe lights on timers, inside and out.An overlooked issue, however, is tonot leave the lights on all night, as

that is actually an obvious clue thatno one is home.Some simple planning now can

save you untold worry and stresslater. Enjoy your new home town!

If you know somebody who is hav-ing trouble making their house pay-ment, have them call the KathyHenne Team.
