Man arrested for stolen license plates, warrants
A Fostoria man was arrested in the Walmart parking lot after he was found to be in possession of stolen license plates. Christopher John Litt, 57, was arrested for unauthorized plates, having weapons while under disability and two counts of receiving stolen property at 9 a.m. Thursday. Litt was also arrested on felony warrants from Marion, Knox and Stark Counties, as well as misdemeanor warrants from Ashland and Stark. According to the police report, an officer on patrol noticed Litt’s blue pickup truck pull up next to a camper parked at Walmart. When the officer ran the plates from the truck, he found it had been replaced with a stolen Florida license plate. The license plate on the camper was reported stolen from a semi-truck operating out of Cleveland. Inside the truck and camper, additional license plates not belonging to Litt were discovered, as well as a .22 caliber rifle.

Police involved in hour-long standoff
A Bowling Green man was arrested for inducing panic after threatening to kill himself during an hour long standoff with police Thursday afternoon. According to the police report, the Bowling Green Police Division and the Wood County Special Response Team were summoned to a residence within the 300 block of Parkview Drive at 4:40 p.m. where Patrick Hawker, 38, was threatening to shoot himself with a shotgun. According to police, Hawker had allegedly injured a family member in an assault before threatening to harm himself. After speaking with an officer, Hawker exited the residence and was arrested at 5:55 p.m. Hawker’s father, Warren, 61, was arrested for obstructing official business after he refused to let police enter the residence following Patrick’s arrest.
Veritas group hosts Catholic speaker on sexuality Women encouraged to avoid contraception By Janae Avery Reporter

[These conventions] are where geeks get to feel like rock stars.” Another fan, Aaron Morris, traveled from Cleveland State University to dress up and play violin for the anime fans in the Union. “This is where I go to meet up with ‘Con-buddies,’” Morris said. “Plus it’s free.” Anime conventions, such as
Heather Sears learned that sometimes women using contraceptives are attracted to losers. “I didn’t realize how contraceptions could impact who a person is attracted to.” Sears said. Sears learned this at the Veritas presentation “Contraception: Why Not?” where renowned speaker and Professor of Theology Janet E. Smith spoke on the reasons why women should not use contraception. Smith argues that the use of contraception alters the way relationships are formed and maintained. Contraception actually lowers sexual libido, she said. The change in hormones is proven to cause women to be disinterested in her partner, which could lead to divorce once the woman discontinues her use of contraception. Smith is a world-renowned speaker who has spoken nationally and internationally about the Catholic teachings on sexuality. She has a series of 12 presentations on sexual common sense and has appeared on “Geraldo at Large,” Fox News and CNN. In her speech in the Math and Science Building she gave reasons in favor of the use of contraception and offered even more against its use. The reasons that many women are convinced that contraception is necessary are medical reasons including PMS, endometriosis, and ovarian cysts, Smith said. Contraceptives are being used as a noncontraceptive, meaning that the medicine is not being used to prevent a pregnancy, she said. These medical conditions can be just as effectively treated with

Smith’s overall theme was to illustrate why contraception has such a negative influence on or society. She bases her talks on thoughts of human sexuality through the Catholic Church, scripture and natural law. Some of the people in attendance heard Smith’s recorded speeches before. Senior Jasmine Herak listened to a previously recorded speech and feared it would be based too much on numbers and statistics. She was impressed by the real life examples Smith used to back up the statistics. “I thought It was great, and it is even better in person,” Herak said.

“I’m short, so maybe a Smurf.”
JENNIFER ZOELLICK,
Am I the only one who is disgusted with both the format and the quality of the evening news on TV? Whether it’s a network channel, cable station or even PBS, it seems the viewing public is being treated as rather stupid and in constant need of variety and entertainment, and as incapable of focusing on anything of substance for any length of time. Let’s take a couple of examples. During the blizzards of this past winter, the local station anchorperson – let’s call him Chad – switches us “live” to an “on-the-scene” reporter, who we’ll call Mindy. Mindy is standing in a parking lot, swaddled in a parka, with a ruler in her gloved hands. She then stabs the accumulated snow, withdraws the ruler and announces to one and all that the accumulation amounts to twelve inches. She then advises us to “drive carefully, and don’t go out unless it’s necessary,” a statement that’s as enlightening as if she were to declare that the snow is white. Mindy then turns it back over to Chad. Chad then mutters the perfunctory “Wow, it’s really bad out there. Thanks Mindy for that live report,” before turning it over to another coanchor for the next story. A few questions are appropriate at this point. Was it really necessary for Mindy to be out in the snow? Couldn’t
Chad have told us from the studio that the accumulation amounts to twelve inches? And why do we need two (or more) co-anchors? All they do is read the news. Since only one anchor talks at a time, it seems to me that one person could perform that task adequately; the only job qualifications are being able to read and possessing a good speaking voice. The national networks aren’t immune from the silliness. On the network news last Friday, a story was being reported about food dye and a possible link tojuvenile ADHD. After walking through aisle 11 of a grocery store (it wouldn’t have mattered if it would have been aisle 4 or aisle 7 1/2), the reporter states that food dye is present in nearly everything we buy and there is some evidence that it may prolong juvenile ADHD. Her choice of words was also interesting. She was “shocked” to discover the ubiquity of food dyes (not merely “surprised” or even “amazed” – she was “shocked” At this point, I was waiting for “Oh, the humanity and all the people!”). Then, additional footage is run. A young boy of about seven or eight is with his mother in the aisle and the reporter asks him why food dye is used (Is this child a marketing or nutrition expert?). What comes out of the child’s mouth is something to the effect that food is boring unless it’s colorful. This doesn’t exactly add to our knowledge or comprehension of the problem, but then, what do you expect
from a seven-year-old? The next footage shows a representative from a consumer public interest group who just happens to be in that same aisle in the same store at the same time the segment was being filmed. (Surprise, surprise. Isn’t it amazing how that works?) The reporter then asks if the food dye could be removed. Predictably, the representative answers in the affirmative with appropriate enthusiasm. What exactly have we learned from this? Other than a possible link between food dye and prolonged ADHD, nothing – absolutely nothing. The filming in the store, the conversation with the child and the discussion with the public interest group representative were irrelevant and added nothing to our knowledge. In short, the whole story could have been handled from the newsroom in half the time with a fraction of the people involved. EvenpublicTVisnotexempt from the growing head count of reporters. The PBS Evening News features not one, but two co-anchors. A third person gives us a summary of the news. Afterwards, each of the co-anchors switches to yet another person who is pursuing a specific story. This person usually has one or two people who are presumably experts in the field and they engage in a discussion on the topic. Again, the questions: Why not just one anchor? Can’t this one person read the news summary, introduce the in-depth topics and discuss

them with the invited guests? The word that comes to mind is “infotainment,” a blending of news and entertainment, the spoonful of sugar that is supposed to help us absorb the dire tales of worldwide misery. The underlying assumption is that the American viewing public needs to have its collective hand held and be entertained during the news broadcast. This is insulting. There is something else that’s even more disturbing. Years ago, I attended a Dale Carnegie Strategic Presentations course and one of the speakers was a retired weatherman formerly employed by a Toledo TV station. He stated his long-held belief that the evening news is not designed to enlighten the public, or to hold business and civic leaders accountable, or even to exercise the station’s First Amendment rights. In his view, the evening news is designed to sell airtime. It’s a business and marketing proposition, and once you understand that fundamental concept, everything else makes sense. In short, it’s show biz. I think he was absolutely right. But TV journalism has a long and honorable history that includes names suchasEd Morrow and Walter Cronkite. Surely we can demand more and surely those responsible for the TV news at every level can build on that heritage and do better.

Lent brings up issues surrounding protein intake By Chris Freyder The Daily Reveille (Louisiana State University) College News Network
Raised as a Catholic in the metropolitan area of New Orleans, I accepted that I would be asked to forgo meat every Friday during Lent. Ever since its discovery in 1839 by Dutch chemist Gerhard Mulder, protein, specifically animal protein, has been considered the nutritional centerpiece in our diets — trumping fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Derived from the Greek word proteios, “of prime importance,” the link between protein, good health and affluence has been culturally ingrained in Western society. Meat has become the “soul” of most of our meals, and without it, our diets seemingly revert to pre-civilization drivel. Under this deep-seated mindset, I viewed the absence of meat on Fridays during Lent as a sacrifice worthy of lamentation. It was not until the passing of my grandmother from colon cancer during my early teens that I began to consider the correlation between animal protein consumption and various forms of cancer. As rudimentary as my understanding of science was, I was convinced I could decrease any predisposition for colon cancer by increas-
ing my intake of dietary fiber, a common notion in modern medicine. However, I dismissed the diets of vegetarians and vegans as extreme, nutritionally deficient and misguided. But my mind was still open to any information further predicating the idea of greater health through increased consumption of plant-based foods and decreased consumption of animal-based products. It was with this open mind that I fell upon the work of Colin Campbell, a decorated biochemist who has arguably conducted the most provocative nutritional and dietary research to date. Although Campbell follows what could be considered a vegan diet, he has never promoted himself as either a vegetarian or a vegan, as he does not identify with the animal rights movement. As grossly detailed in his 2006 book “The China Study,” his mission is the improvement of human health and life. For this very reason, his 27 years of extensive research has become incredibly attractive to me, as I can relate to his humanitarian goals. His work originated through encounters with the impoverished and malnourished children of the Philippines, and his efforts to close what was known as the “protein gap” in the developing world.

HAVANA (AP) — A Cuban dissident group formed to demand freedom for imprisoned relatives is continuing its weekly protests despite the liberation of the last of their family members. Ladies in White founder Laura Pollan said the group will continue its activities to demand freedom for all prisoners of conscience and for human rights. The group began weekly Sunday marches near Havana’s cathedral after the government arrested 75 dissidents in 2003 and accused them of working with the U.S. government to undermine Cuba’s socialist system. Most of the protesters were wives or relatives of the 75. The last of the dissidents were released this week under a deal with the Roman Catholic Church. Sunday’s march was the first since then.
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Police said that four suspected members of a radical Muslim sect shot and killed a political party leader in Nigeria’s troubled northeast. Borno state police commissioner, Mohammed Abubakar, said Sunday that a youth leader for the All Nigeria People’s Party, was shot in the head and chest by men on motorcyles using two Kalashnikov rifles as he was returning from a campaign rally in Gwange. Police blame a radical Muslim sect known as Boko Haram for the attack, the latest in a rash of targeted killings that have left dozens dead since July. Boko Haram was thought to be broken up in July 2009 after its leader was arrested and died in police custody. The group whose name means “Western education is sacrilege” in the local Hausa language has previously attacked churches and engineered a massive prison break.
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A top Somali official said the government has voted overwhelmingly to extend its term for another year despite international calls for it to leave office when its mandate expires in August. Mohamed Mohamud Boon, Somalia’s constitution and federal affairs minister, said a cabinet meeting decided Sunday that the government needs more time to restore security, fight corruption and resettle people displaced by war. The move follows a three-year term extension by the 500-member Somali parliament. Last month the U.N.’s envoy to Somalia, Augistine Mahiga, led a chorus calling for the government not to renew its mandate. The U.S. has also said it is disappointed by the performance of the government. Somalia has been mired in chaos since 1991.
BERBERA, Somalia — Their mother was shot and they were driven through a raging civil war, destined to be pets in the Middle East — until Somali authorities intervened to save two lion cubs smuggled aboard a ship in the chaotic country’s port. The two tiny cubs, a brother and sister, are believed to be rare Berbera lions because of their spotted coats. They were confiscated four weeks ago after Mogadishu’s port manager reported his suspicions to Bancroft, an organization which is training African Union peacekeepers in the war-ravaged Somali capital. It’s not the first time animals have been spotted in the hands of traffickers, but it is the first time they have been confiscated, said Richard Bailey, who works in Mogadishu for Albany Associates. Trafficked animals are believed to be sent to private buyers in places like Dubai and the Far East. — Katharine Houreld (AP)
LIMA, Peru (AP) — A left-leaning former army officer has risen quickly into contention for Peru’s presidency and may even be leading the tight five-person race for the first-round vote on April 10, according to a poll released Sunday. Ollanta Humala, who lost the 2006 election to President Alan Garcia, was favored by 21.2 percent of those polled across the country March 21-24. That was up from 15.7 percent a week before in the CPI poll sponsored by RPP radio. Congresswoman Keiko Fujimori, daughter of a disgraced former president, was backed by 19.9 percent and former President Alejandro Toledo was favored by 18.6 percent. Both are roughly even with Humala because the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points.
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Honduran President Porfirio Lobo on Sunday threatened to fire teachers if they continue a three-week-old strike. Teachers who fail to show up in classrooms Monday will be suspended without pay, according to the president’s decree. If teachers don’t appear by April 4, they will be fired. The protesters oppose a proposed law that would give parents oversight of schools and they said the government owes six months of back pay to 6,000 teachers. They also demanded the return of leftist former President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a 2009 coup backed by the nation’s congress and courts. A union for more than 14,000 hospital workers has vowed to join the strike on Monday and a coalition of Zelaya backers, the People’s National Resistance Front, is calling for a general strike on Wednesday.
Libyan rebels gain control of oil complexes, Gadhafi’s troops falter By Hadeel Al-Shalchi The Associated Press
RAS LANOUF, Libya — Libyan rebels regained two key oil complexes in a high-speed advance west on Libya’s coast on Sunday, retracing the steps of their first march toward the capital with their path cleared by the world’s most powerful air force. Now that they have the oil,
“There was no resistance. Gadhafi’s forces just melted away.” Suleiman Ibrahim | Volunteer the rebels are making tentative plans to exploit Libya’s most valuable natural resource. But production is at a trickle, the
foreign oil workers and their vital expertise have fled the country, and even talk of a marketing deal with Qatar seems murky at best. The coastal complexes at Ras Lanouf and Brega were responsible for a large chunk of Libya’s 1.5 million barrels of daily exports, which have all but stopped since the uprising that began Feb. 15 and was inspired by the
toppling of governments in Tunisia and Egypt. On the eastern approach of Ras Lanouf, airstrikes hit three empty tank transporters and left two buildings that appeared to be sleeping quarters pockmarked with shrap-
nel. Like the oil port of Brega and the city of Ajdabiya before it, Gadhafi’s troops appear to have left in a hurry, abandoning ammunition and disappearing without a fight. “There was no resistance. Gadhafi’s forces just melt-
ed away,” said Suleiman Ibrahim, a 31-year-old volunteer, sitting in the back of a pickup truck on the road between the two towns. “This couldn’t have happened without NATO. They gave us big support.”

Grabbing the bull by the horns Falcons down Buffalo 51-5 in first game of spring season By Paul Barney Sports Editor
Sub-freezing temperatures slammed Cleveland’s Impet Park on Saturday, but the BG rugby team came out firing as it downed Buffalo 51-5 to open the spring portion of its schedule. The Falcons, the No. 1 team in the nation, improved to 6-0 against the Bulls all-time in the series, who are ranked sixth. Despite the weather, over 1,000 spectators were in attendance, most of them local high school rugby players from Mentor, Strongsville, Avon, Midpark, Shaker, Lakewood, Amherst, St. Edward and Akron Copley. All schools are coached by ex-BG rugby players. The Falcons got on the board early and often, as center Dominic Mauer gave BG its first points of the game as he bounced off defenders in what the director of rugby Roger Mazzarella called a “pinball-type run” up the middle. Fly half Nick Viviani converted the kick to give the Falcons a 7-0 lead and later pushed the lead to 10-0 after Buffalo was struck with an offsides penalty. The Falcons would increase their advantage to 27-0 at the half as PHOTO PROVIDED BY ROGER MAZZARELLA | DIRECTOR OF RUGBY

As the final seconds ticked down, Skeen heaved the ball from the free throw line and into the stands behind the opposite backboard. His teammates on the bench, who had spent the final minutes with locked arms to hold each other back, finally spilled out onto the court. Kansas players walked slowly off the court. Several, including Markieff Morris, cried. “We got beat by a team that was definitely better today,” said Kansas coach Bill Self. “They were faster. They were good.”

Kentucky advances to first Final Four in 13 years with win over UNC By Will Graves The Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. — Kentucky spent 13 straight springs watching other schools play in the Final Four, a destination college basketball’s winningest program considers its birthright. At most places, that’s hardly a drought. In the Bluegrass, it’s a lifetime. Now coach John Calipari and the Wildcats — finally — are two wins away from another national title. Brandon Knight scored 22 points and fourth-seeded Kentucky advanced to the Final Four for the first time since their 1998 national title with a 76-69 win over second-seeded North Carolina on Sunday in the East Regional final. The Wildcats (29-8) will play Connecticut in Houston on Saturday night after turning back a late surge by the Tar Heels (27-10), who erased an 11-point deficit before running out of gas in the final 2 minutes. DeAndre Liggins added 12 points for Kentucky, including a 3-pointer from the cor-
ner with 37 seconds remaining to help lift the Wildcats. “We got Kentucky back,” senior center Josh Harrellson said. “A lot of people doubted us. A lot of people really didn’t think we’d be the team we are. We really pulled it together as a team, and we’re back now.” A season after falling a game short of the Final Four behind a roster filled with future NBA stars, the Wildcats are heading to the national semifinals for the 14th time behind the heady play of Knight and Harrellson’s emotional leadership. Harrellson again held his own against North Carolina’s bigger, more heralded front line, scoring 12 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Tyler Zeller led North Carolina with 21 points and nine rebounds and Harrison Barnes added 18 points, but the Tar Heels fell behind early and struggled to keep the hotshooting Wildcats in check. Harrellson gave teammate Eloy Vargas a bear hug shortly after the buzzer sounded then gleefully cut down the nets while the Tar Heels trudged slowly off the floor. It’s a scene the program has been waiting for years to celebrate, a mission that
Jessie Rowland, who won gold in the weight throw at the MAC Indoor Championships, began the day’s events by winning the hammer throw — setting a personal-best distance of 53.15 meters. She also won the javelin competition with a toss of 34.78 meters and added two second-place finishes in the shot put and discus. Ashley Harris beat Rowland’s tosses in both the shot put and discus by recording 13.82 meters in the shot put and 38.67 meters in the discus. Also competing in the field events was Janelle Campbell, who won the triple jump with a leap of 9.99 meters. In the high jump, Tatijana Jacobson placed first with a 1.57meter leap. In the track events, Rachael Doughty led three Falcons in the 100 meter hurdles in 15.91 seconds, while Alicia Jefferson won the 100 meter dash with a 13.28-second run. Abby Koch, Barbara
began in earnest when the program lured John Calipari away from Memphis in 2009. He promised he wasn’t “the grand poobah” the day he signed his eight-year, $31.65 million contract, but there’s little doubt who rules the Bluegrass now. Calipari joins Rick Pitino as the only men’s coaches to lead three different programs to the Final Four. Calipari’s previous visits at Massachusetts in 1996 and Memphis in 2008 were vacated by the NCAA for rules violations, but Calipari was not found liable in either instance. Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart said Calipari wanted his Final Four appearances with the Wildcats “to stick.” Time will tell if they do, though he’s already restored the luster to a program that’s slowly slipped off its perch
over the last decade. The win also gives the Final Four another blueblood program, though with a twist. Kentucky’s win means there will be no No. 1 or No. 2 seed since the field expanded to 64 in 1985. Not that the Wildcats care about the seeding. Championship banners are what matter. It’s why Kentucky went after Calipari so aggressively, making him the highest paid coach in the country. He came close a year ago, as the Wildcats missed their first 20 3-point attempts in a dismal 73-66 loss to West Virginia. There were no such issues Sunday. Knight hit a 3-pointer barely 3 minutes in and Kentucky kept right on shooting. Darius Miller, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb also drilled 3s of their own to give the Wildcats an early confi-

HOOPS row. Then VCU came out and showed it wasn’t just another pushover. The Jayhawks spent the first half not knowing what hit them. Kansas (36-3) hadn’t trailed by more than two points the entire tournament. With five minutes left in the first half, the Jayhawks trailed by 17. Marcus Morris had 20 points and 16 rebounds, and his brother had 13 and 12. They played in disbelief as VCU, which ousted Florida State on 3-pointers on Friday night, used the long ball to bury the Jayhawks early this time. The Rams hit 9 of their 12 3-pointers in the first half. Kansas trailed 41-27 at halftime and closed the lead to 46-44 with 13:11 left, but a 102 VCU run put the Jayhawks right back where they started. Smart, the 33-year-old whose enigmatic personality has made him a breakout star this tournament, was so animated shuffling in front of his bench that officials shooed him back. Another official later served Smart his first technical all season.
