President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat to former Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, paving the way for an unprecedented peaceful transfer of power in Africa’s most populous nation. “Nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian,” Jonathan said in a statement in which he congratulated his successor on his victory. “I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word.” ,WZLOOEHWKH¿UVWWLPHLQ1LJHULD¶V history that an opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from the ruling party — considered a sign of the West African nation’s maturing young democracy. Jonathan’s party has governed since decades of military dictatorship ended in 1999. Celebrations erupted throughout Buhari’s strongholds in northern Nigeria and around his campaign headquarters in Abuja. Cars honked and people waved brooms in the air — a symbol of Buhari’s campaign promise to sweep out Nigeria’s endemic corruption. Iran nuclear talks push past deadline LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — With stubborn disputes unresolved, nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers went past a self- imposed deadline and into overtime as negotiators renewed efforts to hammer out the outline of an agreement. Enough progress had been made to warrant the extension past midnight Tuesday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said, although there still were “several GLI¿FXOWLVVXHV´WREULGJH Secretary of State John Kerry, who had planned to leave the talks Tuesday, was remaining. And an Iranian negotiator said his team could stay “as long as necessary” to clear the remaining hurdles. The decision came after six days of marathon efforts to reach a preliminary understanding by midnight Tuesday, INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers 7XHVGD\WRVHQGKLPDFODUL¿FDWLRQ of the state’s new religious- freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legislators passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays. The Arkansas proposal now goes to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has said he will sign it. Pence defended the Indiana law as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers “around the clock” to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers. The governor said he does not believe “for a minute” that lawmakers intended “to create a license to discriminate.” “It certainly wasn’t my intent,” said Pence, who signed the law last week. Foreign adoptions by Americans reach lowest mark since 1982 NEW YORK (AP) — The number of foreign children adopted by U.S. parents dropped by 9 percent last year to the lowest level since 1982, according to new State Department ¿JXUHV The department’s report for the ¿VFDO\HDUVKRZVDGRSWLRQV from abroad, down from 7,094 in 2013 and about 74 percent below the high of 22,884 in 2004. The number has fallen every year since then — a trend that has dismayed many adoption advocates in the U.S. Trish Maskew, chief of the State Department’s Adoption Division, said LWZDVGLI¿FXOWWRSUHGLFWZKHQWKH number of foreign adoptions might start to rise again. As usual, China accounted for the most children adopted in the U.S., but its total of 2,040 was far below the peak of 7,903 in 2005.

In addition, Franklin Coun- ty Prosecutor Shawn Sant once again defended himself to a Hispanic group amid calls that he step aside and allow a special prosecutor to take over the case. Sant told the Washington State Commission on Hispanic Affairs on Friday and Conse- jo Latino on March 12 that he is treating the fatal shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes by WKUHH 3DVFR SROLFH RI¿FHUV WKH same as every other homicide investigation. “While I provide legal ad- vice as needed throughout the investigation, I do not interview witnesses, collect or test any ev- idence as this is the job of law enforcement,” Sant said in let- ters to chairmen of both groups that were acquired by The Asso- ciated Press. He said it could take months EHIRUHKLVRI¿FHEHJLQVFRQVLG- ering possible charges against WKH WKUHH RI¿FHUV ZKR ¿UHG bullets at Zambrano-Montes in a busy intersection.

We may have reports in two or three weeks, but no guarantee. We are also awaiting reports on the second and third autopsies.” Tight schedules involving other inquests are also a factor, he said. “Realistically with the schedule of other homicide cas- es set to go May 27 and June 24, the inquest will likely be in July or August time frame,” he said. While Sant waits, the two groups asked Gov. Jay Inslee to force the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor. Inslee said last week the coun- ty prosecutor has a legal duty to handle criminal offenses in the jurisdiction and he sees no rea- son to take Sant off the case. 1 5 W o r d s 5 d a y s $ $ 5 0 0 0 0 • Personals • Specialty Cars • Horses & Tack • Farm Equipment • Kids Korner • Sporting Goods • Adult Foster Care • Vehicles for Sale • Pets for Sale • Musical Instruments • Computers • Motorcycles • Child Care • Miscellaneous for Sale • Livestock for Sale • Wanted to Buy Call Paula @ 1-800-962-2819 $5 00 Private Party Only • Auto Parts • Vacation Rentals • Antiques • Private Party Home Rentals • Homes for Sale
