Everywhere All he needs is a bicy- cle. The 69-year-old native of Australia and American citizen now living in Tipp City has covered more of the Earth under his own power on two wheels than most people do using planes, trains and automo- biles in their whole lives.

And he has no plans on stopping anytime soon. In May, he plans to leave on a trip that will take him to Panama and back. It all started for Brennan on his first adventure in 1973 — and with one fateful, chance encounter. “When I was little, I was very overweight as a child and not at all an ath- letic or sporting type, but I always loved the idea of travel and adventure,” he said. “I was born and raised in Australia, and in my 20s, I did as a lot of people did at the time — travel to Europe over land. At the time, the world was much more peaceful, so I thought if I could catch a $120 flight to Singapore, I could get trains and buses and go all the way to Europe. And that’s what I was doing, using trains, buses and hitching, sort of like backpacking, I sup- pose.” And that’s when one random event changed his life. “I was in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, going into a rail- way station to buy a ticket, and there was a commo- tion,” Brennan said. “There was a young fellow with a bicycle with pots and pans tied to it. He was French, and he was having a hard time making him- self understood. I learned French very thoroughly in school, so I decided to help and find out what his story was. “I asked him where he was coming from. He said, ‘Paris.’ I said yes, but I mean on the bike, where are you coming from? He said, ‘Yes, yes.’ I looked surprised and he said, ‘there are roads all the way.’ It just had never occurred to me — I could go anywhere there are roads. That’s what sowed the seed in my mind.” So Brennan continued on his journey, but made one slight change. “This bloke wasn’t being sponsored and he wasn’t a muscle man. He was just a regular fellow,” Brennan said. “So eventu- ally I kept on my way through Europe and got to France.

authorities cannot be posi-tive there are not moreexplosives somewhere thathave not been found. Butthe people of Boston aresafe, he insisted.
The suspects in the twinbombings that killed threepeople and wounded morethan 180 are two ethnicChechen brothers fromsouthern Russia 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaevand his 26-year-old brother,Tamerlan. Their motiveremained unclear.
The older brother waskilled during a getawayattempt. The youngerbrother, DzhokharTsarnaev, was still in seri-ous condition Sunday afterhis capture Friday from atarp-covered boat in a sub-urban Boston backyard.Authorities would not com-ment on whether he hadbeen questioned.
Sen. Dan Coats ofIndiana, a member of theSenate IntelligenceCommittee, saidTsarnaev’s throat woundraised questions aboutwhen he will be able to talkagain, if ever.
The wound “doesn’tmean he can’t communi-cate, but right now I thinkhe’s in a condition wherewe can’t get any informa-tion from him at all,” Coats
told ABC’s “This Week.”It was not clear whether
Tsarnaev was shot bypolice or inflicted thewound himself.
In the final standoffwith police, shots werefired from the boat, butinvestigators have notdetermined where the gun-fire was aimed, Davis said.
In an interview withThe Associated Press, theparents of TamerlanTsarnaev insisted Sundaythat he came to Dagestanand Chechnya last year tovisit relatives and hadnothing to do with the mil-itants operating in thevolatile part of Russia. Hisfather said he slept muchof the time.
The younger Tsarnaevcould be charged any day.The most serious chargeavailable to federal prose-cutors would be the use of aweapon of mass destruc-tion to kill people, whichcarries a possible deathsentence. Massachusettsdoes not have the deathpenalty.
Across the rattledstreets of Boston, churchesopened their doors toremember the dead andease the grief of the living.
At the Cathedral of theHoly Cross in SouthBoston, photographs of thethree people killed in theattack and a
Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology police officerslain Thursday were dis-played on the altar, eachface illuminated by a glow-ing white pillar candle.
“I hope we can all healand move forward,” saidKelly McKernan, who wascrying as she left the serv-ice. “And obviously, theMass today was a first stepfor us in that direction.”
A six-block segment ofBoylston Street, where thebombs were detonated,
remained closed Sunday.But city officials were map-ping out a plan to reopen it.
Mayor Thomas Meninosaid Sunday that once thescene is released by theFBI, the city will follow afive-step process, includingenvironmental testing anda safety assessment ofbuildings. The exacttimetable was uncertain.
Boston’s historic TrinityChurch could not host serv-ices Sunday because it waswithin the crime scene, but
the congregation was invit-ed to worship at theTemple Israel synagogueinstead. The FBI allowedchurch officials a half-hourSaturday to go inside togather the priests’ robes,the wine and bread forSunday’s service.
Trinity’s Rev. Samuel T.Lloyd III offered a prayerfor those who were slain“and for those who mustrebuild their lives withoutthe legs that they ran andwalked on last week.”

Attacks
but it’s not entirely unex-pected.”
The full fallout of theevents and their impact onObama’s presidencyremains uncertain. That’sparticularly true in Boston,where the motivations ofthe two brothers accused inthe bombing are unknown,as are their connections toany terrorist network.
But the capture of theteenager whose olderbrother was killed attempt-ing to escape policebrought closure to Boston
and the White House.Throughout Friday,
Obama aides watched cov-erage of the manhunt onBoston television stationsbeing specially broadcastthroughout the WhiteHouse. When the searchappeared to stall, the pres-ident retreated to the resi-dence, but returned quicklyto the Oval Office whennews reports showedauthorities closing in on19-year-old DzhokharTsarnaev.
Shortly before 9 p.m.,FBI Director RobertMueller relayed news of hiscapture to Obama coun-
terterrorism adviser LisaMonaco.
“They have him in cus-tody, it is white hat,”Monaco quickly wrote in anemail to the president’schief of staff DenisMcDonough, describing thehat the younger Tsarnaevwas wearing in photosreleased by the FBI.
Just one day earlier,Obama had been in Bostonto speak at an interfaithservice for the three peo-ple killed and more than180 others injured in theblasts at the marathon’sfinish line.
Obama balanced sor-
row with resolve as hesought to console thegrieving city. He saidBoston would “run again”and pledged to bring the“small, stunted individu-als” responsible for thebombings to justice.
His words won him rarepraise from someRepublicans, includingformer presidential rivalMitt Romney.
“I thought the presi-dent gave a superbaddress to the people ofthis city and the state andthe nation,” said Romney,a former Massachusettsgovernor who attended
the interfaith service.Previous terrorist
attacks in the U.S. haveturned into key leadershipmoments for the men whooccupied the Oval Officedirectly before Obama.
For President BillClinton, the 1995Oklahoma City bombingproved an opportunity toregain stature after hisparty’s election defeats.For President George W.Bush, the events of Sept.11, 2001, were a chance forthe country to rallyaround a president electedunder controversial cir-cumstances.

ferry to London and took ajob as a barman in a pubthrough the winter.”
And that’s whenBrennan decided to testhimself.
“Gradually the plan gotinto my mind that whenthe springtime came and itgot warmer, I’d start ridingeast into France and seehow far I could go,”Brennan said. “So Icrossed France and intoGermany. Then I crossedGermany into Switzerland.Then I went over the Alpsand into Italy. Down the
coast of Italy, and I took aferry over to Greece.Ferried from the GreekIsles to Turkey. CrossedTurkey into Iran, thenAfghanistan, thenPakistan, then India allthe way to Calcutta. Flewover Burma to Bangkok,crossed Thailand and intoMalaysia then on toSingapore.”
By the time the trip —which ran from April toNovember — was over,Brennan was 31 years oldand had traveled morethan 9,000 miles. It alsoshowed him exactly whathe was capable of — andhe hasn’t stopped since.
Since then, he’s riddenfrom Singapore to Londonacross a different route,crossed from Ohio to SanDiego a half dozen times,biked to Guatemala andridden from Santiago,Chile to the southern tipof South America.
“My trip to Nova Scotia
last year was my first oneup north — I’m more of awarm weather person,”Brennan said. “It tookabout eight to 10 weeksand was about 4,000 milesround trip. And this tripto Panama I’m planningnow, which is about 4,500miles, should take mearound three months ifnothing goes wrong.”
And with everythinghe’s seen and done, thethought of completingthat first trip still standsout.
“The first time I sawthe Taj Mahal, that wasstriking,” Brennan said.“Riding a bicycle intoCalcutta, which used to bethe most populous city inthe world. Or the thoughtof a lone man bicyclingthrough Afghanistan intoKabul, one of the mostexotic areas in the world,that’s a memory thatstands out.
“But crossing into
Singapore from London, Icould hardly believe it. Ithadn’t really been plannedthat I go the whole way.
So when I got there, itreally is land’s end. Thereare no more roads to getto Australia from there.That was the fascinatingpart of that first trip. Ididn’t really have a planon where I was going, Ijust went.”
And if he can share anyone thing with everyoneelse, it’s that anyone iscapable of the same.
“I’m not trying toimpress anyone. It’s not abig money thing or a super-fit thing. I like to give otherthe people the feeling thatit’s accessible,” Brennansaid. “That’s the thingthat’s interesting. Anyonecan do it.
“I can do about 1,500miles in a month by tryingto average 50 miles a day,but that doesn’t mean Ihave to ride that far. If I’m
feeling particularly ener-getic one day, I can go 90 or100. If it’s raining or I don’tfeel like it, I can take awhole day to rest. I’mnever under time pressureor a tight schedule.”
As for Brennan himself,he’s still searching foradventure.
“The biggest enemy on atrip like this is losing yourenthusiasm and becomingdespondent,” he said. “It’sreally a joyful experience.The world is beautiful.Falling into despondency isthe worst thing that canhappen to you.
“It’s all about keepingyour spirits up and not let-ting minor setbacks get youdown. I aim to do 10 milesthe first day and set myown pace. It’s a feeling ofadventure and excitementall the time, and my enthu-siasm is not running out atall.”
After all, there are stillplenty of roads.

WordSearch
See if you can find and circle the words listed. They are hiddenin the puzzle vertically, horizontally and diagonally — some areeven spelled backwards.
In 1963, former Senator GaylordNelson began to worry about our plan-et. (A senator is a person that the peo-ple of the United States have chosen tohelp make the laws.) Senator Nelsonknew that our world was getting dirtyand that many of our plants and ani-mals were dying.
He wondered why more peopleweren't trying to solve these problems.He talked to other lawmakers and to thepresident. They decided that the presi-dent would go around the country andtell people about these concerns. Hedid, but still not enough people wereworking on the problem.Then, in 1969, Senator Nelson had
another idea. He decided to have a spe-cial day to teach everyone about thethings that needed changing in ourenvironment. He wrote letters to all ofthe colleges and put a special article inScholastic Magazine to tell them aboutthe special day he had planned. (Mostof the schools got this magazine and heknew that kids would help him.)On April 22, 1970, the first Earth
Day was held. People all over the coun-try made promises to help the environ-ment. Everyone got involved and sincethen, Earth Day has spread all over theplanet. People all over the world know
that there are problems we need towork on and this is our special day tolook at the planet and see what needschanging. Isn't it great?One person had an idea and kept
working until everyone began workingtogether to solve it. See what happenswhen people care about our world?
Life begins at 40. And so it isas we celebrate the big 4-0 forthe first mobile phone call. Thisis a device that has — sorry, justneed to take this — done somuch to improve communica-tion, increase economic efficien-cy and bring mankind closertogether. But its best years maybe still to come.
One minute a fashion acces-sory, friend, entertainer andeasy distraction, the next themobile is a work tool, out-sourced brain, entrepreneur orglorious handmaiden for peo-ple’s revolutions. …
For this we can thankMotorola technician MartyCooper. He used a so-called“brick” to call his rival at BellLabs on April 3, 1973.
It did not drop out. Even so,at the time Motorola thought itwould take three years to havea model ready for specialistusers. Cooper didn’t think itwould ever be adopted through
extensive networks. He wasalmost right.
It took nearly a decadebefore consumers could buy amobile, for a hefty price. It wasa further decade before a hand-size model and text messagingemerged.
In the mid-1990s smart-phones accelerated the evolutionand by 2003 phones could mergeemail, text and phone functions.At that stage mobiles were esti-mated to save the average work-er 20 minutes a week — a smallproductivity improvement butone dwarfed by the spread ofadvanced smartphones since,pushed along by the iPhone in2007.
It’s easy to forget the prob-lems the community hasencountered in coping withmobiles.
The cancer fears. The linger-ing fights over mobile phonetowers.
The way drivers have riskedtheir lives and everyone else’sjust to get that call. The fight tosave public phone boxes for thetech non-savvy. The tendency to
carry work home with you. Andthe freedom mobiles accord chil-dren, and the associated accessto unsuitable content andunsavoury people.
Business models have alsobeen shaken in ways no one pre-dicted. People are reading newson their mobiles and bettingthrough them. Pub tradingbetween 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. hassagged because people call andmessage to work out where theyare going out rather than meet-ing at the hotel to decide.Shopping centres are beingreplaced by online store ware-houses.
Then there are the coveragedropouts. Forty years on andblack spots remain the bugbearof every mobile user — includ-ing Marty Cooper, who has toldthe BBC he bemoans how theindustry has focused on fasterspeeds at the expense of shoringup network coverage.
But for all the years it tookand all the obstacles it faced,most people have welcomedmobiles with open hands andwallets.

Drones are unmanned vehicles that have been in existencesince 1995. One of the purposes of the drones is for the militaryto drop bombs on terrorists from our homeland while keeping oursoldiers overseas safe.The drone that is well known in the Middle East for hunting
and striking terrorist’s targets soon will be invading the U.S.skies. The Federal Aviation Administration is to select six domes-tic sites that Congress has ordered to test the safety of thedrones. Their size can range from as large as a jetliner to aremote control airplane or as small as a camera-toting hover thatcan weigh 19 grams called a Nano Hummingbird.Since many people in the U.S. are against the use of drones,
most feel domestic drones are an invasion of privacy and limitsFirst Amendment rights. Law enforcement sees drones as intelli-gence gathering aids. It can be seen as a new way of spying.Drones have the capability to see through walls, monitor cellphone and text usage, read license plates and use facial recogni-tion, thereby being able to monitor a person’s every move.Monterey, Texas, has a domesticated drone called the
ShadowHawk, which carries less lethal weapons, such as tear gasand rubber bullets. Concerned residents in other cities are lobby-ing local officials to ban drones above their cities’ airspace.The market for drones will include tens of thousands of fire,
police and other government agencies. Some are low in cost andthey are lighter than traditional aircraft. They are already beingused in border patrols and the Federal Aviation Administrationhas allowed the Miami (Fla.) Police Fepartment to use them assurveillance flights over the Everglades.The federal government has already authorized the use of
drones to be used by police departments alone. These can go ashigh as 400 feet in the air. Drones are increasing in operation forsurveillance purposes; our states and localities can either bansuch actions, or they can regulate them which in turn can be adanger to everyone’s health, as well as individual civil rights.Many U.S. localities already have drones in use and they are a
threat to our First Amendment rights. Our Fourth Amendmentright is to secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects,against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violatedand no warrants shall be issued, but upon probable cause.The Fourth Amendment is not being complied with by doing
surveillance with the drones. By arming the drones with tear gasand rubber bullets they threaten public safety, not enhance it.Military technology with the drones will inevitably flow into
the civilian sphere, but what could the consequences be? Overtime, drones will get cheaper and easier to fly making it possiblefor almost anyone to own one.So far, the U.S. is the only country that operates them on a
large scale, but over time that will change. Two other countrieshave flown the drones and an estimated 76 countries are develop-ing or shopping for them.Another question we should ask ourselves is: as the technology
becomes less expensive and more accessible, would it make it eas-ier for domestic terrorists to buy their own on the black market?Hijackers would be able to hijack a few drones and attach bombsbefore flying them into their designated targets. Drones have thepotential to come back and haunt us as a nation whether it is forsurveillance or military bombing.
Question: Do you feel safeliving in the United States ofAmerica?

I went to a baseball game theother day and a dog show brokeout.
It just goes to show you neverknow what you’re getting whenyou buy a ticket these days.
Here’s how it happened: abunch of friends and I went to aReds game last week. I shouldhave been suspicious when theguy at the door handed me whatlooked like a welcome matwrapped in plastic when I camein.
“What is this?” I said.“It’s a placemat,” he said. “It’s
for your dog. Or you can use it.”Why in the world would some-
one be handing out free place-mats for dogs at a baseballgame? I looked more closely andsure enough, right there on theplacemat was a Reds logo and abunch of dog prints. I don’t evenhave a dog, but I took the place-mat.
I usually take a stroll aroundthe stadium before the game andwhen I got to the area down thefirst base line I suddenly raninto a pack of dogs. It was a veri-table dog nirvana. Big dogs, littledogs, dogs wearing bandannas,dogs wearing Reds shirts. I
clutched by doggie place mat tomake sure a member of this dogarmy didn’t rip it out of mygrasp. Then I realized what washappening.
It was Bark in the Park night.Being a National League fan,
I’m kind of a traditionalist. I goto baseball games to watch thegame. But that’s not the case formany people any more.
There are all kinds of specialnights at baseball games. Thereare fireworks nights, singlesnights, bobblehead nights andBark in the Park — this is thenight you can bring your dog tothe game.
The concept was a bit of amystery to me. The only way thedogs really wanted to be there
was if you would have let themgo on the field and chase downfly balls. I couldn’t imagine howthey managed to keep dog fightsfrom breaking out. I’m sure thatsome dogs would probably have— you know — accidents. Not tomention that some of the dogowners probably would drink toomuch beer and have accidentsthemselves. It must be a night-mare for the cleanup crew.
Then it hit me. It appeared asif most of the dogs were accom-panied by a single, fairly youngowner. It wasn’t really for thedogs, after all. The hope is thatyour dog will make friends withanother dog whose owner lookslike Scarlett Johansson or TomCruise. Ingenious!
I retreated to my seat, whichwas far from the doggie zone, andfigured I could live with all thepeople doing dog cheers and thescoreboard picturing all the play-ers’ famous dogs — Underdog ,Snoopy, Goofy. As long as I stayedaway from that one part of thepark, I was safe. Plus, I got a freeplace mat.
As the scoreless game wenton, I noticed some of the peoplewere getting excited about some-
thing in between their dog yells.It turns out there’s a pizza placethat has a promotion – if Redspitchers strike out 11 guys on theother team, the pizza place giveseveryone with a ticket a freepizza. All you have to do is showup at the pizza store within aweek of the game.
When Reds’ starter HomerBailey struck out 10 then wasreplaced by Aroldis Chapman inthe ninth inning, the crowd (butnot the dogs, who probablywouldn’t get any of the pizza),went into a frenzy. The score?Who cared? There was free pizzaon the line. People started chanti-ng “Pizza, pizza, pizza.” WhenChapman inevitably struck thefirst guy out, a big cheer went up.
The game was called after 8 ½innings, score 0-0. But we all gota free doggie mat and a freepizza, so life is good, anyway. Iguess I can live with the new wayto watch baseball.
I’m going to watch for morepromotions. I’d pay money to seethem try a “Cat at the Bat” night.

WEST MILTON— Residents willno longer have to head to the liquorstore or Versailles to get locally madewine, thanks to Old MasonWinery.
The winery officially opens today,right off of Iddings Road. The wine-making business is a “hobby gonewild,” according to co-owner JeffClark.
Clark and his wife Donna, both ofWest Milton, partnered with Chuckand Sherry Compton of Tipp City toestablish the vineyard. The Clarkshave lived inWest Milton most oftheir lives, both graduating fromMilton-Union High School (Jeff in1983 and Donna in 1985). They actu-ally were high school sweethearts andhave been married more than twodecades.
Chuck and Sherry met throughBrukner Nature Center’s Art ofCollaboration. Ten parent/child pairsall helped create one massive mobile.Chuck and his oldest daughter andSherry and her daughter were two ofthose pairs. They married 11 yearsago and moved to Tipp City shortlyafter.
Then the Comptons met theClarks. The couples were friends offriends, and eventually became friendsthemselves. They were both wine afi-cionados, but on different sides of thecoin.
“We’ve been making wine longer,but they’ve been drinking winelonger,” laughed Donna.
In the Clark home, Jeff took upabout half the kitchen with his con-traptions and flavoring.
“You name it, I’ve made it,” he said.“I’ve made wine out of dandelion, blue-berry, anything I could get my handson.”
Chuck picked up the hobby, too,because as he put it, “I knew if I didn’tbuy myself a wine making kit, Jeffwould buy me one (for a future gift).”Since Chuck has a full basement, thewinemaking took over the extrakitchen down there.
So the Clarks were making wine,the Comptons were making wine, andan idea emerged.
“One day we looked at each otherand said, ‘hey, why don’t we try and dosomething?’” Jeff recalled.
The Comptons were hesitant atfirst, but as the two couples startedresearching and visiting other vine-yards, they discovered that most vine-yards were growing in sales 10 to 15percent a year.
“We thought if they’re growing,maybe we could, too,” Donna said.
Plus, as Chuck pointed out, theyhad to travel far distances to get toeach one of these places.
“It struck us, boy we really need (awinery) here,” he said.
They sought out land of their own,planted 2,200 grape hybrids (with plen-ty of space for more), jumped throughseveral governmental and permithoops, and built a facility to actuallymake the wine. The tasting room andback patio is the latest addition. “It’svery exciting, but there’s always morework that needs to be done,” Sherrysaid.
Although as they explain it, it’s notwork when you love what you do.
“We just have a true passion for it— we don’t consider it work,” Jeff said.
“We just have fun with it,” Donnaadded.Work assetsBoth of Jeff’s and Chuck’s day jobs
have come in handy. Jeff is a mason,and all the stonework was completedby his company, Clark’s Masonry.Chuck is an aerospace engineer, andhas found a chemistry background isvery helpful.
“There’s a lot of chemistry, a lot ofscience in wine,” he said.
He is also getting a winemaker’s cer-tification through the University ofCalifornia Davis, which is “quite wellknown” for its program.Even for thenon-winemakers, owning a winery is anexciting adventure.
“I’m not a winemaker, but I likedrinking wine and interacting with peo-ple,” Sherry said.The OldMason own-ers acknowledge the help of The OhioState University, through theDepartment of Horticulture and ScienceandTodd Steiner, laboratory supervisorof the enology lab.
“It’s amazing howmuch Ohio Statehas helped us,” Jeff said.
The couples also give credit to theirfriends and families for all their helpand support as well.They’ve helpedplant and build, and it was Chuck’s son-in-law who designed the label.
“We like people, we like wine, andwe’re happy to join the two,” Chucksaid.
Although the OldMason is not a bar,there will be a tasting room open from10 a.m. to 6 p.m.Monday-Thursday 10a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday 10 a.m.to 9 p.m.Tastings will be available in 1-or 2-ounce flights, and bottles range inprice from $9.99-$12.99.
Small prepackaged snack plateswill be available. The winery also ispartnering with a bakery out of TippCity, Loafin’ Around, to offer fresh gour-met breads.
Old MasonWinery is located at4199 Iddings Road,West Milton.

HOW THEY MAKE WINE:
• Press the grapes.• Put the pressed juice in tanks, add yeast, and let it ferment for 7-14days.• Rack it — change tanks. This gets rid of any crud and is done 5-7times.• Then the wine is put through three stages of filters: rough, secondary,and micron to finish.• Finally, it is gravity fed into bottles (in what looks like a giant sodamachine).
Old MasonWinery, owned
by Jeff andDonna Clark,
opened today at4199 IddingsRoad,West
Milton.

Dear Readers: Here is thisweek’s Sound Off, about speak-ing right away when you callsomeone.“My request is that when a
person makes a telephone call,he or she be prepared to speakwhen someone answers.“When I answer the phone, I
say ‘Hello,’ then I pause andlisten. There is nothing on theother end. I end up saying‘Hello’ maybe three or fourtimes before the person speaks.This is especially true of tele-marketing calls. During thetime I am waiting, all sorts ofthings run through my mind,like ‘Has something happenedto a family member?’ This is
not only annoying, but alsostressful.”— A Reader in SanAntonioI’m with you on this topic!
You would go crazy in myoffice, with six incoming phonelines! — HeloiseFAST FACTSDear Readers: Other uses
for small, dome-shaped, plastic
tomato containers:• As a small trash can on a
craft table.• Use to start a seedling.• Hold pens and pencils in
one.• Make into a terrarium.• Store cotton balls in one by
the sink.— HeloiseNYLON-NET SCRUBBIESDear Heloise: I would like
the directions for scrubbiesmade out of nylon netting. Youhad the directions in your col-umn, but I threw out my paperbefore I cut them out. I reallyenjoy your column.— BarbaraP. in Statesville, N.C.Of course I can reprint it!
This is a great hint from mymother, the original Heloise. Tomake the quick version, youwill need 1/2 yard of nylon net— the 72-inch-wide kind —dental floss or strong nylonthread and a large needle. Cutthree 6-inch-by-72-inch stripsof the nylon net and lay themon top of each other. Using along basting stitch, sew themtogether down the middle. Onceat the end, hold the thread andpull the netting so that itbunches up. Wrap the threadaround the center of the bunchand tie a tight knot. Trim thethread ends. Separate the lay-ers of netting so they make theshape of a ball.— Heloise

SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:
Dear Annie: My friend "Nina"just broke up with her boyfriendof five years. We are here for her,trying to help in any way we can,even though we think she is outof her mind for doing this.One of our friends has been
telling Nina lies about the guy,saying he has been talking abouther behind her back. I have neverheard him do this. All he has eversaid is that he loves Nina anddoesn't understand why shebroke things off.This friend has a reputation
for being dishonest. There havebeen fights about this before. Shehas backstabbed Nina twice inthe past, yet Nina always turnsto her when she thinks her worldis collapsing. Nina has told methat she doesn't trust thiswoman, but they continue to actlike sisters.I care a great deal about Nina,
but at what point does a 40-year-old woman grow up? Maybe Ninaneeds to have her life blow up inher face so she gets a clue. Isthere anything I can do? — AReal FriendDear Friend: Not really. Nina
knows this woman lies to her,and yet she is willing to break offan otherwise good relationshipover it. We think Nina does thison purpose. It provides an excusefor her to sabotage her relation-ships and be miserable. Eithershe doesn't believe she deserveshappiness or she likes creatingdrama. Tell Nina you care abouther and want her to be happy, butshe is going to have to do somework to get there. Suggest coun-seling, but don't hold your breath.Dear Annie: The other day, we
invited a couple out to lunch asour guests. However, my wife andI were upset when they orderedappetizers without asking us. Wenever order appetizers, becausewe watch our diets and feel thedinner provides plenty of food.Also, since we were paying for it,why would they order somethingwe ourselves didn't order?We kept our thoughts to our-
selves but would like to knowwhether this was proper.—Feeling ExploitedDear Exploited: Guests
should always take their cuesfrom the hosts. If you did not sug-gest appetizers, they should nothave ordered them on their own.However, as hosts, you cannotinsist that your guests share yourfood preferences in a restaurant.It would have been gracious ofyou to ask whether they wouldlike to order appetizers, providedyou could afford to do so.Dear Annie: I'm writing in
response to "Worried Family inIllinois," whose brother is addict-ed to drugs. This tugged at myheart because I'm dealing withthat very problem in my ownfamily.While it's true that a person
needs to be willing and readybefore rehab will truly work, thekey is giving your loved one anopportunity to get clean longenough to think clearly. There isa law in my area that most attor-neys don't even know aboutcalled Casey's Law. It allows youto file a petition against theaddicted person.If adequate proof is shown that
the individual is not capable ofmaking good decisions, the judgecan rule that the person has toget help. My loved ones are doingwonderfully, and even though itwill be a lifetime commitment,they now have a chance at a life.— From One Worried Familyto AnotherDear Worried: Thank you.
Casey's Law is currently avail-able only in Kentucky, Ohio andIndiana. It requires filling out apetition for involuntary treat-ment. Information and copies ofthe petition can be found atcaseyslaw.org or Operation Unite(operationunite.org/treatment/caseys-law) at 1-866-908-6483.Annie's Snippet for Earth Day

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.(AP) — High water fromheavy rains began toppinglevees in the Terre Hautearea on Sunday, threaten-ing evacuations on a daywhen central Indianaauthorities recovered thebody of a second flood vic-tim.The National Weather
Service issued a flash floodwatch for the Prairietonarea south of Terre Hautethrough Sunday eveningafter Honey Creek topped alevee in three or four spots,causing some scouring ofthe earthen barrier.Deputy Director J.D.
Kesler of the Vigo CountyEmergency ManagementAgency said other leveesalso were being topped andwere leaking in some cases.“We have a couple of
areas where if a levee wereto fail in those areas, we’dhave to move some peopleout,” Kesler said.The National Weather
Service said near major
flooding would occur thisweek along the nearbyWabash River fromClinton, north of TerreHaute, to Vincennes, fur-ther south. The Wabashreached its highest level in55 years Sunday morningat the town of Montezumaand was expected to crestin Terre Haute lateMonday, it said.Authorities recovered
the body of David Baker, 42,of Arcadia, on Sundaymorning near where histruck sank in Cicero Creekabout 30 miles north ofIndianapolis, HamiltonCounty Sheriff ’s DeputyBryant Orem said.Baker had called 911
early Saturday to report histruck was sinking in thecreek. Searchers found thetruck later Saturday andfamily members rescuedBaker’s dog, but the searchfor Baker was postponedbecause of hazardous condi-tions, Orem said.Baker’s father, Bob, was
among the searchers.“It just picked his truck
up and it floated away like afeather,” Bob Baker toldWTHR-TV.The weather service said
Indianapolis received 5.58inches of rain over a four-dayperiod ending at 9 a.m.Friday.Much of it was being
drained away by the WhiteRiver. The river crestedSunday at Spencer in OwenCounty. The weather servicesaid “very significant flood-ing” would occur this weekalong the White River insouthern Indiana fromWorthington to Hazleton,with levels at their highest innearly five years.In Fort Wayne, the

Flood victim’s body recovered
DENVER (AP) — Authorities havereleased the names of four Coloradosnowboarders and one skier killed overthe weekend in the state’s deadliest ava-lanche in more than 50 years.Clear Creek County Sheriff Don
Krueger said search and rescue crewsrecovered the men’s bodies from a back-country area on Loveland Pass severalhours after Saturday afternoon’s slide,which was estimated to be about 600feet wide and eight feet deep. All of themen were equipped with avalanche bea-cons.The sheriff identified the victims
Sunday as Christopher Peters, 32, ofLakewood; Joseph Timlin, 32, ofGypsum; Ryan Novack, 33, of Boulder;Ian Lanphere, 36, of Crested Butte; andRick Gaukel, 33, of Estes Park. Anothersnowboarder, identified by friends asJerome Boulay, was buried and sur-vived, but authorities have not releasedhis condition.The Denver Post reported Sunday the
group of men, all experienced in extremeterrain, were participating in a snow-
boarding event called the RockyMountain High Backcountry Bash toraise money for the Colorado AvalancheInformation Center when the slideoccurred.Snowboarder Mike Bennett of Dillon
told the newspaper he dug throughhard-packed snow to help free Boulaybefore finding two others buried abouttwo feet below the surface.“They were wrapped around each
other, below a patch of trees,” he said.Bennett said four of the victims were
snowboarders and one was a skier.Meanwhile, Adam Schmidt, editor in
chief of Snowboard Colorado Magazine,told The Associated Press the eventorganized by Timlin, “ironically,” wasaimed at promoting backcountry safety.“Joe is really about the snowboarding
community in Colorado,” said Schmidt,whose magazine was an event sponsor.“He really stressed making this eventabout backcountry safety. …Unfortunately, if Mother Nature decidesto throw something at you, you cannever be too prepared.”

He’s heating upCINCINNATI (AP) —
Among the few people not con-cerned with Joey Votto’s home-run drought were hisCincinnati Reds teammates.
Votto seems to be getting hotand shaking off his power out-age. He homered and got threehits for the second straight day,and the Cincinnati Reds beatthe Miami Marlins 10-6Sunday for their sixth win inlast seven games.
Votto missed 48 games lastseason with a knee injury, andhis April 14 homer againstPittsburgh was his first sinceJune 24. He’s homered in back-to-back games for the first timesince Sept. 10-11, 2011, atColorado.
“Before I got hurt, I had 14home runs,” Votto said. “If I’mnot hitting home runs, I canhelp win games in other ways. Idon’t feel obligated to hit home
runs to quell people’s concerns.Is quell the right word?”
Votto is 7 for 11 in his lasttwo games, raising his battingaverage to .328 and his NL-leading on-base percentage to.522, just teammate Shin-SooChoo’s .523. The 2010 NL MVP,Votto reached 24 homers infour of his previous five fullseasons.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) —Ryan Johansen scored thetiebreaking goal with 1:37remaining to give the ColumbusBlue Jackets a big boost in theirpush for the playoffs with a 4-3victory over the San Jose Sharkson Sunday night.
Mark Letestu scored twice andVinny Prospal also scored for theBlue Jackets, who moved into atie for seventh place withMinnesota in the WesternConference with 51 points.Columbus has played one moregame than theWild and two morethan the ninth-place Detroit RedWings, who are three points backin the race for the final playoffspot. Sergei Bobrovsky made 32saves.
Marty Havlat, AndrewDesjardins and Joe Pavelskiscored for the Sharks, who need-ed only to take the game to over-time to clinch a ninth-straightplayoff berth. Antti Niemi made18 saves in his 23rd straight startas the Sharks lost at home in reg-ulation for just the second timeall year.
The Blue Jackets looked likethey would squander a big oppor-tunity when they blew a two-goallead in the third period. Pavelskitied the game with a power-playgoal with 5:03 remaining.
But Pavelski was on the otherside of the key play on the game-winning goal when he turned thepuck over to R.J. Umberger in hisown zone, setting up Johansen’sgo-ahead score.
While San Jose still has threemore games to clinch the playoffs,this loss dealt a blow to the team’shopes to get home-ice advantagein the first round. The Sharksbegan the day tied for fourth inthe West with Los Angeles, onepoint ahead of St. Louis. San Josewould lose the tiebreaker to bothteams based on fewer regulationand overtime wins.
The Blue Jackets took a 2-0lead in the second period whenBrad Stuart made a bad breakoutpass that went right to Letestu inthe neutral zone. Letestu quicklyfed Prospal for a breakaway andhe beat Niemi with a forehand forhis 12th goal of the season.
The Sharks tried to get backinto the game when LoganCouture fed Havlat in front of thenet for a goal midway through thesecond but they allowed a rarepower-play goal at home to fallback behind by two.
Desjardins and Pavelskihelped tie the game but the BlueJackets still ended up on top,improving to 13-0 when leadingafter two periods.

George insisted a little rest and anew focus would make changeeverything for the IndianaPacers.
He made sure that predictioncame true Sunday.
Following the best season ofhis three-year career, Georgeopened the playoffs by producingthe first postseason triple doubleof his career 23 points, 11rebounds and 12 assists and ledthe Pacers out of their late-sea-son funk and past Atlanta 107-90 in Game 1 of their EasternConference first-round series.
Suddenly, all those problems
ailing the Pacers have been for-gotten.
“I know what the team willexpect from me now,” Georgesaid. “But, again, I like the pres-sure”
He can expect to be dealingwith even more of it in the best-of-seven series.

The New York Jets havetraded star cornerback DarrelleRevis to the Buccaneers for thisyear’s No. 13 overall draft pickand another selection next year.
The Buccaneers announcedthe deal on the team’s Twitterpage Sunday, saying Revisagreed to a new six-year con-tract that, according to a personfamiliar with the situation, is

The front runnerKANSAS CITY, Kan.
(AP) — Matt Kensethknew that he had a front-running car Sunday.
It was just a matter ofgetting there.
So when a caution flagcame out with severalleaders on pit road, andKenseth found himselfleading the pack into thepits, he had a feelingthings were going hisway at Kansas Speedway.
“That was the key,” hewould say later.
Kenseth won the raceoff pit road after takingtwo tires under cautionwith 47 laps to go, and aNo. 20 Toyota that hadbeen strong all day slow-ly pulled away. KaseyKahne trimmed into thelead once he moved intosecond, but Kensethmanaged to block everymove he tried to make.
Kahne pulled along-side him entering Turn 4with the white flag flying,but Kenseth pulled backahead along the frontstretch and then cruisedacross the finish line forthe win.
“When it was in front,we knew it was really
fast,” Kenseth said afterhis second straight win atKansas. “And if we couldget out there first, we’d betough to beat.”
It was the thirdstraight win from thepole in the Sprint Cupseries.
Jimmie Johnson did ittwo weeks ago atMartinsville, and KyleBusch did the same lastweekend at Texas. Thelast time three straightwinners came from thepole was in 1985, whenBill Elliott and DaleEarnhardt combined todo it at Michigan, Bristoland Darlington.
Points leader Johnsonfinished third with a carthat kept getting betterduring long, green flagruns. Martin Truex Jr.came home in fourth andClint Bowyer was fifth.
Brad Keselowski put apositive spin on an uglyweek for Penske Racing.
Keselowski picked upsome minor damage tothe rear of his car on thefirst lap of the race, andfell a lap down when hewas slow getting off pitroad under caution. The
damage kept gettingworse as the laps tickedalong, and eventually ahuge piece of his rear endripped off.
The No. 2 team man-aged to get it repaired,and Keselowski slowlypicked off positions in thewaning laps, finishing aheartening sixth after afrustrating week.
Penske Racing isappealing heavy sanc-tions handed down byNASCAR after an unap-proved rear-end housingwas found on its two carslast week at Texas. Thepenalties include six-racesuspensions for seven-crew members, includingboth crew chiefs,$200,000 in fines and 25-point penalties.
The date of the appealhasn’t been set, allowingboth teams to arrive infull at Kansas.
As for Logano, he wasstruggling to find speedwhen Busch got in trou-ble along the wall, shotdown to the apron of thetrack and smacked intohis No. 22 Ford in a dev-astating head-to-headcollision. The wreck
knocked both cars out ofthe race and left debrisscattered all over theasphalt.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr.spent most of the after-noon running at thefront, with Kenseth chas-ing the No. 17 Ford thathe drove to victory lastyear at the newly resur-faced Kansas Speedway.
Stenhouse was amongseveral leading drivers,including Carl Edwardsand Greg Biffle, whowere forced to pit undergreen with about 50 lapsto go. They were just get-ting back onto the trackwhen the rear-bumper onKeselowski’s car that hadbeen hanging on by athread finally came loose.
The metal chatteredacross the track andbrought out a caution.
Kenseth beat Truex inthe race off pit road criti-cal at Kansas, where asecond groove didn’t startto round into shape untillate in the race. Kahnehad them both in hissights, but by the time hemoved into second place,Kenseth had more than afull second on the field.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) —Manu Ginobili and TonyParker scored 18 points eachas the San Antonio Spurs ledfrom early in the first quarterand beat the Los AngelesLakers 91-79 on Sunday inGame 1 of their WesternConference first-round series.
Tim Duncan added 17points and 10 rebounds, MattBonner had 10 points andKawhi Leonard had eightpoints and 11 rebounds forSan Antonio.
Dwight Howard had 20points and 15 rebounds, SteveNash scored 16 points and PauGasol added 16 points and 16rebounds for Los Angeles.
Despite the double-doublesfrom Howard and Gasol, theLakers failed to take fulladvantage of their inside pres-ence, much to the consterna-tion of the injured KobeBryant, who watched thenational broadcast.
“Post. Post. Post,” Bryanttweeted in reference to theLakers’ offense.
Bryant is out for theremainder of the season with atorn Achilles.
Los Angeles’ length causedSanAntonio problems early asthe Spurs missed their firstthree shots all inside the paintas they altered their shots toavoid Howard and Gasol.
Nash, who returned aftermissing nine games with ahip/hamstring injury, gave theLakers their only lead with ajumper on the game’s openingpossession.
Duncan broke the drought,hitting a pair of jumpers overGasol that gave San Antonio a4-2 lead with 9:33 remainingand the Spurs led the rest ofthe way.
The Lakers shot 35 percentfrom the field in the first half,primarily missing shots from11 feet and out. Los Angeleshad 10 points in the paint, butcould not consistently workthe ball inside for attempts.
“What I would say if I wasthere right now,”Bryant tweet-ed. “Pau get ur (butt) on theblock and don’t move till u getit.”
Los Angeles pulled within28-24 with 7 minutes left asHoward had four points in an8-0 run, including an alley-oopdunk off a feed from Gasol tocap the run.
It was the closest LosAngeles would come as SanAntonio extended its lead to 10points in the quarter.
The Lakers shot 50 percentfrom the field in the secondquarter, but also had seventurnovers.
Los Angeles went on an 11-4 run to cut SanAntonio’s leadto 54-50, but the Spurs rebuilttheir lead once again.
Manu Ginobili hit a pair of3s to give San Antonio a 70-57lead to close the third. Ginobiliwas 6 for 13 from the field and3 for 5 on 3s.
Leonard blocked a 3-pointattempt by MettaWorld Peaceand then made a layup on theensuing fast break. Leonardfaked an attempt, sendingWorld Peace flying past himfor an open shot that gave SanAntonio a 76-63 lead with 8minutes left.

Eastopening game withoutplaying a minute sincelast Sunday’s loss at NewYork sealed Indiana’s fateas the East’s No. 3 seed.
Outsiders wonderedwhether those off-dayswould rejuvenate theCentral Division champs,who looked so good frommid-December throughearly April, or whetherwould be rusty afterstumbling to five losses intheir last seven regular-season games.
Those inside the lockerroom said that the extrarest would be beneficial.Sunday’s performance leftno doubt as fans repeated-ly waved the gold towels
the Pacers handed outbefore the game.
While George went 3of 13 from the field, hemade his first 17 freethrows tying ReggieMiller’s single-game play-off mark for best percent-age. George missed his18th and final attemptwith 2:35 to go. It wasabout the only thing thatwent wrong for the All-Star forward who hadIndiana’s first triple dou-ble in the playoffs sinceMark Jackson on May 13,1998 against New York.
Indiana also has a 1-0lead for the first timesince beating the NewJersey Nets 90-88 in2006.
“It was huge for ourconfidence,” George said.“We got back to playingour style of basketball.”
Heat 110,Bucks 87MIAMI — LeBron
James has never takenfewer shots in a playoffgame than he did onSunday night, which atfirst glance might seemlike a good thing for theMilwaukee Bucks.
It was not.James scored 27 points
on 9 for 11 shooting— fin-ishing two assists shy of atriple-double—while RayAllen scored 20 off thebench and the defendingchampion Heat picked upwhere they left off in the
NBA playoffs a year ago,never trailing on the wayto beating the Bucks 110-87 in Game 1 of anEastern Conference first-round series.
Dwyane Wade scored16, Chris Bosh added 15and Chris Andersen fin-ished with 10 on 4 for 4shooting for the Heat,who opened their titledefense by holdingMilwaukee to 42 percentshooting and outrebound-ing the Bucks 46-31.
Brandon Jenningsscored 26 points andMonta Ellis added 22 forthe Bucks, who have notwon the opening game ofa playoff series since May2001.

Redshe had faith Votto’s powerwould return.
“I told you he was going tohit,” Baker said. “Everybodywas more worried than wewere. Water seeks its ownlevel. If you can hit, you’ll hit.You don’t just stop hitting.”
Brandon Phillips drove inthe go-ahead run for the sec-ond straight day and ToddFrazier hit a three-run dou-ble in an eight-run seventhinning for the Reds, who wonthree of four from theMarlins and improved to amajor league-best 10-3 athome.
After trading most of theirbest players in an offseasonpayroll purge, the Marlinshave the worst record in thebig leagues at 4-15 the poor-est 19-game start in teamhistory.
With the score 2-2, Choodrew Cincinnati’s fifth walkoff Alex Sanabia (2-2), whoalso hit Choo with a pair ofpitches. Singles by XavierPaul and Votto loaded thebases, and Phillips had anRBI single against JonRauch. Paul scored whenright fielder GiancarloStanton bobbled the ball foran error.
Phillips had a game-end-ing sacrifice fly in the 13thinning of Saturday’s 3-2 win.
Devin Mesoraco added anRBI single, Frazier hit abases-loaded double off theright-field wall for an 8-2lead, Choo followed with anRBI double and Paul greetedTom Koehler with a run-scor-ing, ground-rule double thatbounced into the right fieldstands and back onto thefield.
Logan Ondrusek (1-0)struck out the side in the sev-enth to win in relief of HomerBailey, who allowed two runsand seven hits in six inningswith eight strikeouts andthree walks.
Sanabia (2-2) gave up fiveruns and five hits in sixinnings. Marlins managerMike Redmond’s bullpenoptions were limited afterusing six relievers Saturday.
“Sanabia knew the situa-tion,” Redmond said.“Yesterday’s game took a lotout of our pitching staff. Ithought he pitched a greatgame. If we had the lead, wewould have probably pitchedit differently. Rauch was ouronly fresh arm. We had tobring him into a tough situa-tion.”
Miguel Olivo, who spentmost of spring training as anon-roster player with theReds before signing withMiami, hit a pinch three-runhomer off Manny Parra in afour-run ninth.
Votto didn’t need to waitlong to flash his rediscoveredpower, homering in the firstinning on the first pitch hesaw in the game.
“He’s such a good hitter,”Frazier said. “That’s the kindof stuff we talk about tryingto get your energy back andyour swing going.”
Chris Valaika’s had atying single in the second.The Reds went back ahead inthe fifth when Bailey beat outan infield hit on a dribbler upthe third-base line and scoredfrom second when Votto sin-gled and center fielder
Justin Ruggiano overranthe ball for an error. Valaikahad another tying single inthe sixth.

Indians top Astros on Reynolds’ HRHOUSTON (AP) — The
Cleveland Indians hit fourhome runs and managerTerry Francona stillthought a catch by DrewStubbs was the biggest playof the day.
Stubbs made the daz-zling catch to limit the dam-age in the first inning andhomered in the sixth beforeMark Reynolds’ seventhhomer of the season putCleveland on top in a 5-4win over the HoustonAstros.
The drive by Reynolds,who also homered inCleveland’s 19-6 winSaturday, helped theIndians take two of three inthe series.
Carlos Santana and YanGomes also added homeruns for the Indians.
Jose Altuve drew a lead-off walk before FernandoMartinez, who came off thedisabled list on Saturday,connected on his first pitchof the season for a solohomer that made it 2-0. Theshot broke a streak of 14 2-3scoreless innings againstthe Astros for Indiansstarter Ubaldo Jimenez.
Jason Castro singledbefore Stubbs made thenifty over-the-shouldercatch while sprinting nearthe wall right-center andthe Indiansmade it a doubleplay when Castro couldn’tbeat the throw back to first.
“It started out a littlerocky. That second hit of thegame hits that short porchand then in my opinionDrew Stubbs saved thegame two hitters later,”
Francona said. “They’ve gota runner on first and they’vegot a ball that’s going to hitthe wall and be a triple.AndDrew catches it and we dou-ble the guy off, and in myopinion that gave us achance to win the ballgame.”
Stubbs, who played hereoften when he was withCincinnati, wasn’t sure ifhe’d be able to get to it whenit was hit.
“You never know,” hesaid. “With the big outfieldthere, balls that are ordinar-ily home runs in a lot ofparks are able to get trackeddown. So I knew I had achance at it, and luckily wasable to get a good jump.That play was a turningpoint for the game.”
Added Jimenez of thecatch: “That was unbeliev-
able. It gave me a break andhelped me out to get to thesecond inning and keep itgoing.”
The Astros dropped to 5-13with the loss,which is theworst record in theAmerican League, and theirworst start through the first18 games since posting thesame record in 1983.
The game was tied at 4in the seventh inning beforethe two-out full-counthomer to left-center byReynolds off Hector Ambriz(0-1). FernandoMartinez hita two-run homer in the firstinning for Houston in his2013 debut.
Cody Allen (1-0) got thefinal out of the sixth andChris Perez pitched a score-less ninth for his secondsave in three opportunities.

� London Marathon
A hug to BostonJOHN LEICESTERAP Sports Columnist
LONDON (AP) — Fewsounds are more deafen-ing than that of 34,000marathon runners turn-ing completely silent,standing totally still, defi-ant in the face of terror.
The deep silence, 30seconds so profound,poignant and full of emo-tion that time seemed tostop, was for Boston. Itwas London’s way of say-ing, “You are in our heartsand in our minds.”
Only a few chirpingsongbirds paid no atten-tion. Overhead in thelimpid blue sky, a helicop-ter thumped somewherein the distance.
But, otherwise, thestart line of the LondonMarathon was utterlyquiet. Many of the run-ners bowed their heads,lost in thought, looking attheir feet that would sooncarry them 26.2 miles.Phones rang in the crowd.They went unanswered.
“I just thought ofBoston and how terrible itwas and it really hit homehow exposed we all are,”said Bazz Basu, who com-pleted the marathondressed as an astronaut.
Then a blown whistlebrought the moment ofremembrance to an end.The multicolored ocean ofpeople erupted withapplause and cheers.Because life must go on.There was a marathon torun and to finish.
To experience so littlenoise from so many peo-ple felt magical, a privi-lege. It was a big grouphug to Boston from a citythat has also experiencedterror firsthand —Hitler’s bombs in WorldWar II; home-grown sui-cide bombers in 2005 —and responded coura-geously. As souvenir post-cards in London say:“Keep calm and carry on.”
Carrying on wasn’teasy. But it had to bedone. In poundingLondon’s pavements, inreclaiming the streets,the running communityshowed it will not be cow-ered. If the bombers whokilled three people andwounded more than 180at the Boston Marathonhoped to cause lastingfear among runners, thenthe London Marathonshowed that they failed.Each footfall on this glori-ous spring Sunday provedthat London’s decision togo ahead with its racejust six days after thetwin bombings in Boston
was the right one.“My mum has been in
floods of tears, saying‘Please don’t go, pleasedon’t go,’” said runner KatSmith before she set off. “Iwanted to do it more thanever, to not run away fromit because it was scary, toprove to myself that Iwould not let somethinglike that stop me.”
Many runners con-fessed to more than theusual amount of nerves.Some told family mem-bers to stay home, just tobe safe. Others saidfriends canceled plans tocome to the race to cheerthem on. Even an oceanaway, in London, theBoston bombings plantedinevitable seeds of doubtand concern. Being herd-ed together in such alarge crowd, does thatmake us a target? Couldsomeone have hidden abomb in the tens of thou-sands of bags that therunners stuffed withclothes and gear at thestart? Police officers withexplosive-sniffing dogschecked around the binsthat quickly filled withdiscarded bottles andother rubbish.
“You have that fear inyour mind. You’re think-ing, ‘Is there going to be abomb?’ All it takes is onecrazy person or two.That’s the true killer —
that there’s nothing youcan do,” said Greg Takacs,who ran in Boston onMonday and then inLondon on Sunday, finish-ing both marathons inless than three hours.
But like the frost thatclung to the rooftops inthe early morning, theparanoia slowly meltedaway as the day passedjubilantly without ahitch. The massive crowds— rows deep, hundreds ofthousands strong — andthe thick vein of runnersstrung out for miles onthe city’s roads bathedLondon in a positive vibe.By running with perfectstrangers or by standingshoulder to shoulder withthem along the route, peo-ple showed that they stilltrusted each other not todo anything evil or awfullike the Boston bombers.And that was good to see.Many runners wore blackribbons on their jerseys inhonor of the Boston vic-tims, which was good tosee, too.
The sense of together-ness was so strong thatTakacs said he found him-self sharing drink bottlesas he ran — “It soundsgross, sharing spit withsomeone you don’t evenknow.”
“I really felt that com-munity,” he said.
He also thought about
the victims in Boston.“Sometimes, you think,
‘Oh, my calf hurts.’ Andthen you think there are… people in Boston whohave no calves, becausethey were blown off.”
Costumed runnersadded to the party feel.Pretty much all the superheroes were there —Wonder Woman, severalSupermen, BuzzLightyear. There weremany men in dresses.Flocks of human chickens.A German in a Mr. Ticklesuit, another dressed as atelephone, and at leastone woman in a nun’shabit with giant plasticbreasts. One couple cameas Harry Potter wizardswith a running twist,with costumes identifyingthem as “Run Weasley”and “Stumble Dore.”
Joe Elliott, 26, said heran the fastest marathonby someone dressed in athree-piece suit — 2hours, 57 minutes, 30 sec-onds — and had the topbutton on his shirt doneup the whole way. “I feltlike I was melting.” Hededicated the run to thepeople of Boston.
In sum, London hadfun. And, in doing so, itinspired.
After the horror ofBoston, it felt like mil-lions of steps were takenback to normal life.

Kenya’s Tsegaye Kebede crosses the line to win the men’s London MarathonSunday in the Mall. A defiant, festive mood prevailed Sunday as the LondonMarathon began on a glorious spring day despite concerns raised by the bombattacks on the Boston Marathon six days ago, as thousands of runners offeredtributes to those killed and injured in Boston, with a moment of silence beforethe race, and many wore black ribbons as a sign of solidarity.
HILTON HEADISLAND, S.C. (AP) —Graeme McDowell defeat-ed fellow U.S. Open champWebb Simpson in a playoffto win the RBC Heritageon Sunday for his secondcareer victory on the PGATour.
McDowell was fourshots behind when theround started, but ralliedwith a closing 69 overwind-blown Harbour TownGolf Links. The 2010 U.S.Open champ had his onlybogey of the day on the72nd hole to force a playoffwith Simpson, the reign-ing U.S. Open titleholder.
McDowell struck hisapproach on the extra holeabout 15 feet away andtwo-putted for par.Simpson could not answer,missing about a 10-footerfor par.
Luke Donald and KevinStreelman tied for third.
McDowell’s win ended atough day in which onlythree players shot in the60s.
Donald shot a 69 whileStreelman had a 72. JerryKelly rounded out the topfive after his even-par 71.
Charley Hoffman, the54-hole leader, balloonedto a 77 and fell into a tiefor sixth.
Both McDowell andSimpson had the chance towin on the 72nd hole.McDowell missed a 12-footpar putt after his approachwent over the green. It washis only bogey on theround.
Simpson had a 22-foot-er for birdie a short time
later on the 18th, but sentit 3 feet past to lead to thetournament’s third playoffin four years.
McDowell pattedSimpson on the back afterthe playoff miss andsmiled widely as the boatsin Calibogue Sound tootedtheir horns and whistles.
Neither McDowell norSimpson made the cut aweek ago at the Masters,yet bounced back in a bigway at Harbour Town.
The course showed itsteeth, winds arcing flag-sticks and blowing debrison every hole. Donaldbacked off his putt on No. 7when a large leaf tumbledthrough his line. Crewswatered several greensbetween groups simply tokeep balls holding insteadof skipping off the wind-swept sod.
Blowers were heardthroughout the day, tryingto push off leaves, twigsand other tree parts fallingeverywhere on the course.
The National WeatherService issued a windadvisory for the area,warning of winds of 20-to-30 mph and gusts up to 45mph.
“Extremely difficult,”Donald said of conditions.“Strongest wind I’veplayed in all year.”
Few managed the windbetter than McDowell,who lurked behind most ofthe round until striking onthe back nine. He made a28-foot birdie putt on No.11 to move into a three-way tie for first withSimpson and Hoffman.
