Still clinging to the ‘little boy’ moments In interest of full disclosure, I must admit: I wasn’t exactly thrilled to become a mother more than eight years ago.

I know that may sound a wee bit harsh but honestly, it was because I was terrified.

The Village of Casstown will dedicate its Veterans Memorial Park during a public ceremony at 11 a.m. May 19.

They came from small yet, picturesque villages to serve an entire nation and assist countries around the world as part of the armed forces.

And it’s the small villages like Casstown — located just

outside of Troy — where those soldiers will be memorialized through the dedication of a park.

The Village of Casstown will dedicate its Veterans Memorial Park during a public ceremony at 11 a.m. May 19.

To help preserve the memory of any and all who served in the armed forces, anyone interested

may memorialize a service member by engraving their names on a memorial brick.

“We wanted to dedicate the park to all local veterans,” said Brandy Norman, a Casstown town council member. “The names will be on the bricks leading up to the gazebo.”

A day for dads Students at St. John’s Preschool, including Bernard Eickman (above) used construction headgear, paint and a paint brush Tuesday in Troy to create art. The preschool focused on celebrating dads this week since the facility is not in session during Father’s Day. At right, children shared what they made throughout the week with their fathers Thursday and then took a walk to throw rocks at the river’s edge.

PIQUA — Edison Community College will wrap up the spring term today in the Piqua campus gymnasium, with the 37th commencement ceremony in the school’s history.

Nearly 450 students will be earning a total of 475 degrees or certificates in the allied health fields, business and accounting, paralegal and various other fields at this year’s graduation, which will take place in the Edison gymnasium.

This will be the first graduating class under current Edison president, Dr. Cris Valdez, who took over in May 2011.

“I know the faculty and staff here at Edison really go all out to make sure our students’ needs are the top priority,” said Chip Hare, director of student life and athletics. “For many of our students, this has been a long and challenging road and we’re proud to be here to serve and encourage them in their accomplishments.”

Speaking to the graduates, faculty and staff this year will be Dr. Christopher Grove, general surgeon at Upper Valley Medical Center. Grove, who attended George C. Wallace Community College in Alabama, also is the current medical director for Miami County Surgeons.

Edison’s involvement with the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSEOP) continues to help high-achieving students get a jump-start on their college careers by offering them courses for college-credit while experiencing daily campus life.

This year, Edison will have 20 students who are graduating with an associate degree before graduating from high school.

“PSEOP at Edison provides our area high school students with many great opportunities. Being able to have a two-year degree completed in general is a great accomplishment, but having it done before high school graduation really says a lot about a student,” said Trevor Stutz, admissions coordinator. “Many of these students will be transferring on to a fouryear institution as a junior,

• Wall Street JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the U.S., said Thursday that it expects to lose $800 million this quarter on complex investments made by its own traders.

The company’s stock plunged more than 6 percent in after-hours trading after the loss was announced.

Other bank stocks, including Citigroup suffered heavy losses as well. The loss occurred in JPMorgan’s Corporate and Private Equity segment. JPMorgan previously had planned on a profit of $200 million for the segment, excluding some special items.

The loss is expected to hurt JPMorgan’s overall earnings for the second quarter, which ends June 30. Dimon apologized for the losses, which he said occurred since the first quarter ended on March 31.

been in an accident, Atkinson collected her sisters and headed for Cincinnati, the two-hour drive full of emotions as the hospital refused to give them any other information.

“It was kind of an odd thing when we pulled up. It was on Goodman Drive,” Tabitha said, noting that they parked in the Goodman garage, and the nurses asked if they were part of the Goodman family, while their mother was in the Goodman ward. “It was all very eerie.”

Ushered into a room, the sisters had only a short wait for the doctor who explained their mother was in surgery and would be for another six hours.

The family matriarch had suffered a shattered spleen, punctured and collapsed lungs; a broken leg with no tendons to attach the upper part of her leg to the lower part, every rib broken save three, a broken arm, and her breast plate was cracked.

“He made sure we knew that if she did make it through, we were not out of the woods,” Shelly said as they were told Billy was in the emergency room with asphalt embedded in his face and head after hitting the pavement face-first.

“He kept asking about mom,” Shelly continued, explaining how the sisters would only tell their father that their mother was in surgery with a broken arm, wary of his state and wanting to keep him calm. “We were trying to get him better and then we would deal with the rest.”

Billy remembers the wreck well, how the bike went down and grateful that it happened so close to the university rather than along a lonely country road.

“She would have died, I know she would have,” said Billy had they not been on a busy highway.

“You never, ever think something like this is ever going to happen to you, never in a million years.

It just happened.”

schooling Billy said her ultimate wish is to return to Wilson Memorial, to perhaps start over from where she left off in 2009 in administration.

As Billy explained, they won’t ever forget what happened, having returned a year after the accident to the scene, to visit and thank the EMTs who helped give them a second chance at life.

“You never know if you’ll ever see these people again, and they remembered who we were,” Billy said as he explained the cause of the accident: a faulty tire that a Georgia lawyer is pursuing after four individuals died in similar crashes.

Yet, through this life-altering experience the Goodman’s agree that Sherry’s unstoppable spirit has always been a part of her character.

“We’re pretty proud of her,” said Billy “There’s nobody in the world that could do what she’s done. She’s the most determined woman I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“She had a 3 percent chance of living,” said Stacy, reflecting on what her mother has endured. “Then told she’d never walk again; a lot of nevers. She could stay home, never work again, most people might do that, she wouldn’t do it.”

“I think that’s what keeps her honestly strong,” said Tabitha.

“They told her she couldn’t.”

“She’s been through a lot,” said Shelly. “It’s quite a story.”

As the family continued to reflect on a mother’s and wife’s strength, Billy explained how the first time Sherry stood again, on her own, was on Mother’s Day, the long fight back to today’s graduation and a celebration of moms making the memory especially poignant.

“It’s a life-changing thing when you have a wreck like that.

It changed everything. It makes you respect life more,” Billy said.

“We take it one day at a time now. You don’t know if you’ll be here tomorrow.”

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUDUP The Hawk Eye, Burlington, Iowa, on student loan debt: President Barack Obama picked an easy — but important — issue to share with college students recently.

The interest rate on the popular Stafford student loans is due to double at the end of June from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.

Underwriting that portion of student debt costs the federal government about $6 billion.

In these days when everything is viewed through partisan lenses, it’s important to note that deadline was set by Democrats when the rate was halved two years ago. It’s also important to note there’s little, if any, interest among Republicans in seeing the rate go back up.

In other words, despite an effort by the House to pay for the Stafford loans with cuts to the president’s health care initiative, there’s every expectation a deal will get done.

There’s a reason student loan rates have zoomed in recent years, a reason few people are wont to discuss.

Over the past generation, states have been shedding their responsibility to educate their citizens.

Colleges have responded by aggressively raising tuition fees.

Students are having to shoulder more and more of the cost of their education, and they do that by borrowing.

States have been in the education business as long as there have been states. Since the early days of the republic, there’s been recognition a functioning democracy requires an educated public. Since World War II, a college degree has been the surest way for families to move up the economic ladder. Governments were rewarded for their investments through taxes collected on the higher incomes graduates earned.

In that spirit, nearly every education mission statement includes a throw-away line that rhapsodizes about students representing our future.

If only we acted as though that were true.

The New York Times on the fragile U.S. economy: The slow start for the economy in 2012 — an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the first three months of the year — is evidence that the recovery is too weak to push joblessness much lower than its current 8.2 percent, and too fragile to withstand the kinds of budget cuts Congressional Republicans are proposing.

First-quarter growth was not far off the recent average pace and conditions are certainly worse elsewhere, with many European nations in recession. But that’s false comfort. To make up the damage the Great Recession did to jobs, income, wealth and confidence, the economy needs consistent above-average growth. Europe’s problems will only exacerbate America’s own, by shaving growth from exports or, in a worst case, by destabilizing banks that are linked to the European financial system.

So there is no getting around that slower growth means bigger challenges for ordinary Americans, for policy makers and, not least, for President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

Unfortunately, with election-year partisanship only intensifying Washington’s gridlock, concerted action to support the economy will have to wait until after the election, and no one knows which direction policy will take.

Cutbacks in government spending — which are scheduled to deepen next year in keeping with last year’s federal budget deal, and which Republicans want to make even deeper — will eat into growth. In the latest figures, government spending cuts shaved 0.6 of a percentage point from growth; deeper cuts mean more damage, as has been amply demonstrated by self-destructive austerity in Europe.

For now, the default policy is to slog on until the end of the year, when lawmakers will be forced to confront the looming federal budget cuts and the simultaneous expiration of the Bush tax cuts, the temporary payroll tax cut and federal unemployment benefits.

DOONESBURY

I’m still clinging to the ‘little boy’ moments In interest of full disclosure, I must admit: I wasn’t exactly thrilled to become a mother more than eight years ago.

I know that may sound a wee bit harsh but honestly, it was because I was terrified. Mother of the year right?

Looking back eight years ago, I was completely clueless about the whole infant care deal. What was formula? Crushed up soybeans in a can is $25! Can’t I just go to the feed mill and get that stuff for $12 a bushel? What do you mean you shouldn’t have a crib bumper? What the heck is a bumper? You do what with its bellybutton? What do you mean it “falls off?” It’s a brand new kid, stuff shouldn’t be falling off of it already!

Oh, and I came to a final decision on “Great Bottle Debate” solely on the fact I saw a celebrity feeding their baby with an Avent bottle. Yeah, I did my research didn’t I? Also, I had never, ever, changed a diaper in my life.

Seriously.

My mother wasn’t much help.

Oh, she bought a million baby outfits, my kid would be decked out to the nines, but baby care advice was not her forte.

“So much has changed since

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist you guys were born,” Mom said.

“You know, they used to have babies sleep on their stomachs.”

What! You can’t do that these days, hadn’t she heard of all the dangers, or seen the gadgets to prevent babies from rolling on their stomachs? How did we ever make it through two decades? I went and immediately bought my copy of “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” That book saved Evan’s life — and mine.

And since I’m being honest here, I also had more of a “Thank God I’m not pregnant anymore” type of feeling the moment Evan was born, more so than the “you just brought a life into this world” moment. I remember watching as Evan’s father and paternal grandmother cried and sobbed tears of joy, while I looked at my own mom with “Glad that’s over with

— Brenda L. Carver Canteen Manager, VFW Post No. 5436

— now what?” look.

In my usual sarcastic nature, when the nurse handed me my son for the first time, there weren’t gushes of love and adoration. Instead I quipped: “My name’s Melanie, you can call me Mom” and I shook his tiny baby hand. Seriously, ask my sister.

Much like most things in life, I of course, figured out how to bathe, clean and feed the boy.

Heck, I didn’t even have to worry about a crib bumper, since I spent $600 on a crib that was never, ever used.

I couldn’t put him down. Wait, I take that back. I put him down only on Thursdays.

My amazing grandmother would force me to leave the apartment by coming over each Thursday (after her hair was done, naturally) and would take us to lunch so I could see “real people” and not just my friends Kelly Rippa and Regis. She’d then cuddle with Evan and rock him while I ran errands and got a moment to myself.

I really, really looked forward to Thursdays. And so did my grandmother.

To sound completely cliche, it really does go so fast, this whole growing up thing. Now the little

infant, whose hand I shook moments after being born, has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels last week.

He also failed to mention his second grade class play until the day of the event. The little boy that still loves to cuddle on the couch, now has a crush on a little girl at school. The kicker: the feeling is not mutual.

“Mom, I’m just going to chase her around the playground until she gives up.” That’s determination folks.

He’s still a little boy who still finds time to make a game out of a piece of Styrofoam and the wind. He still uses his imagination daily with battles between the Decepticons and Autobots.

He still lets me read to him before bed, despite being able to read all by himself.

To say the least, my fear has subsided and now I’m clinging on to these “little boy” moments. He’s chasing girls and soon he’ll be chasing his dreams.

To be honest, I’m terrified.

“Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. She can’t wait until Evan is big enough so she can steal his sweatshirts.

Investigation continues in underage drinking case

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com The Piqua Police Department continues to investigate an underage drinking after-prom party that took place at 5 Hopewood Drive in the early morning hours after the May 5 prom ended.

As a result of that investigation, officials with the police department stated that, contrary to their earlier reports, that several unidentified subjects fled from the scene after the initial response to the home.

“As we were completing further investigation we learned that there were other people in another part of the house — we are not sure how many — and they did leave the house,” said Piqua Deputy Chief Tom Steiner.

“It’s one of those things that happens when you are trying to contain dozens of people with only two officers. You can

PIQUA chase after the ones that are fleeing or stay put with the ones you have in one spot.”

While a complete version of the police report has yet to be released, Steiner said a total of 14 individuals, most of them high school students, will be cited with underage drinking.

At this point in the investigation the police department is not releasing the names of the students, he added.

Responding to a call regarding a potential underage party, police arrived at the home on Hopewood Drive and found more than a dozen underage individuals in a basement in the residence who were drinking after a parent gave his consent to search the home.

The parent will not be charged for allegedly hosting an underage drinking party, according to the department.

In this 1967 file photo Associated Press photographer Horst Faas works in Vietnam. Faas, a prize-winning combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war with a camera and became one of the world’s legendary photojournalists in nearly half a century with The Associated Press, died Thursday.

He was widely read on Asian history and culture, and assembled an impressive collection of Chinese Ming porcelain, bronzes and other treasures.

“Horst Faas was a giant in the world of photojournalism whose extraordinary commitment to telling difficult stories was unique and remarkable,” said Santiago Lyon, AP vice president and director of photography.

“He was an exceptional talent both behind the camera and editing the work of others and even in the grimmest circumstances he always made sure to live life to the fullest,” Lyon said. “He will be sorely missed by scores of colleagues, especially that reduced group with whom he covered conflict, particularly the Vietnam generation.”

In later years Faas turned his training skills into a series of international photojournalism sympo-

siums.

Faas also helped to organize reunions of the wartime Saigon press corps, and was attending a combination of those events when he became ill in Hanoi on May 4, 2005.

He was hospitalized first in Bangkok and then in Germany, where doctors traced his permanent paralysis from the waist down to a spinal hemorrhage caused by blood-thinning heart medication.

Although requiring a wheelchair, he continued to travel to photo exhibits and other professional events, mainly in Europe, and collaborated in the publishing of two books in French — about his own career and that of Henri Huet, a former AP colleague in Vietnam. Faas also made two arduous trips to the United States, in 2006 and 2008.

His health deteriorated in late 2008. Hospitalized in February for treatment of skin problems, he also underwent gastric surgery.

Faas’ Vietnam coverage earned him the Overseas Press Club’s Robert Capa Award and his first Pulitzer in 1965. Receiving the honors in New York, he said his mission was to “record the suffering, the emotions and the sacrifices of both Americans and Vietnamese in … this little bloodstained country so far away.”

CDC: Young adults ignoring skin-cancer warning signs ATLANTA (AP) — The warnings about skin cancer from too much sun don’t seem to be getting through.

Half of U.S. adults under 30 say they have had a sunburn at least once in the previous year — about the same as a decade ago, according to a government survey released Thursday. In fact, the modest progress reported five years ago has been wiped out.

Not only that, but women in their 20s are going to tanning salons almost twice a month on average.

“I don’t know that we’re making any headway,” said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Society’s deputy chief medical officer.

Experts say that even one blistering burn can double the risk of developing melanoma, an often lethal form of skin cancer.

The study was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and was based on a 2010 survey of about 5,000 U.S. adults ages 18 to 29.

The share of those who said they had a sunburn in the preceding year dropped from about 51 percent in 2000 to 45 percent in 2005, then went back up to 50 percent in 2010.

Researchers don’t know for sure why the sunburn rate picked up again, said Dr. Marcus Plescia, director of the CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.

The CDC found that more than one-

third of those surveyed said they use sunscreen when they are out in the sun — a modest increase from 2005. But some experts said the increasing rate of sunburns suggests many people are not putting on enough sunscreen or are not reapplying it adequately.

Also on Thursday, the CDC released a survey on the use of tanning beds, booths or sun lamps, and Lichtenfeld said of the findings: “I am astounded.”

While about 6 percent of adults of all ages said they had done indoor tanning in the previous year, the rates were much, much higher among young white women: about 32 percent among those ages 18 to 21.

Also, women in their 20s said they tanned indoors more than 20 times in the previous year, on average.

A similar survey in 2005 found about 27 percent of young women said they had done indoor tanning.

Several experts said there is no longer significant scientific debate that indoor tanning causes cancer. In 2009, tanning devices were classified as carcinogenic by the World Health Organization, which analyzed 20 studies and found the risk of melanoma rose 75 percent in people who started indoor tanning before age 30.

“It’s not a question of whether tanning beds cause cancer anymore. We’ve been able to prove that,” said Dr. Jerry Brewer, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist and researcher.

NEW YORK (AP) — As chief of photo operations for The Associated Press in Saigon for a decade beginning in 1962, Horst Faas didn’t just cover the fighting — he also recruited and trained new talent from foreign and among Vietnamese freelancers.

The result was “Horst’s army” of young photographers, who fanned out with Faas-supplied cameras and film and stern orders to “come back with good pictures.”

He and his editors chose the best and put together a steady flow of telling photos — South Vietnam’s soldiers fighting and its civilians struggling to survive amid the maelstrom.

Faas, a Pulitzer Prizewinning combat photographer who carved out new standards for covering war with a camera and became one of the world’s legendary photojournalists in nearly half a century with the AP, died Thursday in Munich, said his daughter, Clare Faas. He was 79.

A native of Germany who joined the U.S.-based news cooperative there in 1956, Faas photographed wars, revolutions, the Olympic Games and events in between.

But he was best known for covering Vietnam, where he was severely wounded in 1967 and won four major photo awards including the first of his two Pulitzers.

“Horst was one of the great talents of our age, a brave photographer and a courageous editor who brought forth some of the most searing images of this century,” said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll.

“He was a stupendous colleague and a warm and generous friend.”

Among his top proteges was Huynh Thanh My, an actor turned photographer who in 1965 became one of four AP staffers and one of two South Vietnamese among more than 70 journalists killed in the 15-year war.

My’s younger brother, Huynh Cong “Nick” Ut, followed his brother at AP and under Faas’s tutelage won one of the news agency’s six Vietnam War Pulitzer Prizes, for his iconic 1972 picture of a badly burned Vietnamese girl fleeing an aerial napalm attack.

Faas was a brilliant planner, able to score journalistic scoops by anticipating “not just what happens next but what happens after that,” as one colleague put it.

DARK SHADOWS: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are snuggled warmly in their comfort zone in this chilly horror-comedy, their eighth collaboration as director and star, respectively, and their weakest by far. You don’t need to know a thing about the “Dark Shadows” TV series that provides the inspiration.

Tonally, thematically, visually, you’ve seen this movie before, with its oddball characters, skies in varying shades of gray and a foreboding sense of gothic mystery. It’s actually a wonder that Depp hasn’t played a vampire before; still, his long-undead Barnabas Collins, who’s been buried alive for nearly two centuries and suddenly finds himself back in his insular Maine hometown in 1972, fits squarely within his wellhoned on-screen persona. He thinks he’s quite the charmer, but he’s actually a bit awkward, and that contradiction provides the main source of humor. Or at least, it’s supposed to. The script from Seth Grahame-Smith (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) allows its family full of weirdoes to shine, but too often is crammed with fish-out-of-water gags as Barnabas struggles to make sense of the time in which he’s found himself. He struggles to understand modern romance as he courts the family’s delicate, wide-eyed nanny (Bella Heathcote) and tries to fit in by smoking pot with the local hippies. Ho ho! “Dark Shadows” feels too languid, and bogged down as it is with an obsessive eye for costumes and period detail rather than offering anything resembling an engaging story.

And by the time Burton finally puts his visual effects skills to their best use, in a climactic showdown between Barnabas and the witch who cursed him (Eva Green), it’s too late. With Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter and Jackie Earle Haley. PG13 for comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking. 116 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic GIRL IN PROGRESS: The strong, sexy presence of Eva Mendes and the girlish perkiness of Cierra Ramirez can only go so far to make this forced mother-daughter dramedy tolerable. It’s a coming-of-age story that knows it’s a coming-of-age story — as in, our young heroine is well aware of the conventions of this kind of tale and goes out of her way to manufacture various rites of passage to expedite her transformation from innocence to womanhood. Ramirez’s Ansiedad literally creates a flow chart in her bedroom and spells out her strategy with her only friend — whom she’ll soon cast aside, she declares, because it’s a necessary step in the process. Breaking down and sending up a specific genre is fine if the script is strong enough to get away with such cutesy self-reference, as in “Juno” and “Easy A.” Director Patricia Riggen and screenwriter Hiram Martinez don’t go far enough, don’t dig deep enough with these characters.

They play it too safe, which makes “Girl in Progress” feel like a slightly racier version of an ABC Family show. And the flat, overly bright lighting further makes it feel like forgettable television. It certainly doesn’t help that the two main figures are cliches. Mendes’ Grace is the child in the equation, having given birth when she was just 17 and hopping from man to man and town to town ever since. Ansiedad — which means anxiety in Spanish — is the responsible one: Smart, studious and organized, she’s left to scrub the sink full of dishes while her mom’s out with her married gynecologist boyfriend (Matthew Modine, whose character doesn’t have a single perceptible redeeming quality). Do you think it’s possible that, by the end, they’ll both have learned some lessons and assumed their rightful roles? PG-13 for mature thematic elements, sexual content including crude references, and drinking — all involving teens. 84 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

GOD BLESS AMERICA: Bobcat Goldthwait’s targets are many and easy and obvious in this satire of everything that’s wrong with the world today, but he hits them squarely and in bold fashion. The former stand-up comic has carved out an intriguing career as the writer and director of dark, daring independent films. His last, 2009’s “World’s Greatest Dad,” featured Robin Williams as a father who exploits his teenage son’s freak-accident death for fame and fortune. Here, his anti-hero is a bit more familiar, a bit more of a cinematic type, but he still does some incredibly inappropriate things. Sad-sack Frank (Joel Murray) is divorced, he’s recently been fired from his job as a cubicle-dwelling drone and he might be dying. With nothing to live for, nothing to lose and an anxious fire burning in his belly, he decides to take out his pent-up aggression on the shrill, selfish, narcissistic idiots out there, as well as people who are just plain mean. He gets some unexpected help from a similarly angry and disillusioned teenage girl, Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who becomes his sidekick on a bloody, multistate killing spree. “God Bless America” has a whole lotta “Taxi Driver” in it, and some “Network,” and some “Heathers,” and even some “Kick-Ass.” But it still feels like its own entity through Goldthwait’s specific voice.

He makes us do something we may not even want to admit to ourselves: acknowledge that Frank is right, and that maybe we’re even enjoying watching these people get away with the slaughter. Much of that sensation comes from Murray’s performance itself. Frank isn’t unhinged or off-putting. He’s a reasonable, evenkeeled and seemingly intelligent guy who’s fed up with the deterioration of decency in society. R for strong violence and language including some sexual sequences. 104 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

COLUMBUS, (AP) — An unemployed Ohio man was browsing at his local thrift store for items he could restore and resell when he spotted a Picasso poster with the word “Exposition” written across the front, some French words, and the image of a warped round face. He handed over $14.14 for what he saw as a nice commercial print.

Some Internet searches later — and a closer look at markings on the lower right area — and he sold what’s believed to be a signed Picasso print for $7,000 to a private buyer who wants to remain anonymous.

“A pretty darn good return,” said Zachary Bodish of Columbus with a chuckle. “Can’t get that at the bank.”

The 46-year-old Bodish, who was an event and volunteer coordinator at a museum for six years, originally turned to the Internet and a personal blog to write about his neat find from early March.

Bodish had been supplementing his income with and reselling buying restored furniture, and he suddenly realized he may have hit jackpot.

“I could tell it was not a modern print,” he said. “So I thought, ‘Well, it’s probably not really a fine Picasso print. What’s the chance of finding that in a thrift store in Columbus, Ohio?”

His online search led

And he began to look closely at some very faded red writing on the lower right area, which he originally thought were random pencil marks from the thrift store.

“It wasn’t until I realized where the signature would be, and that those little red marks were right where the signature should be, that I got a stronger magnifying glass out and determined that, ‘Holy cow!

It’s really a Picasso.’”

Bodish said he consulted with art experts and met with a representative from Christie’s auction house to authenticate the piece. A Christie’s representative confirmed that

Bodish met with a specialist, but the auction house said its policy is not to comment on items that aren’t sold through them.

In this case, Bodish decided to sell the print privately in April.

Lisa Florman, an associate history professor at Ohio State University, has written several essays and a book on Picasso. She said the print is a linocut, meaning it’s a design carved out and pressed with ink onto paper. She examined the print only through photos, but she said it’s very unlikely the piece is forged because the piece would sell for so low in the grand scheme of major art fraud. She said she’s examined many

Russell Brand to host MTV Movie Awards next month LOS ANGELES (AP) — Russell Brand is returning to the MTV stage.

The 36-year-old comedian has signed on to host the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.

“This MTV Movie Awards will be more impressive than ‘The Avengers,’ and you won’t have to wait an hour for someone to Hulk out,” Brand said Thursday.

After hosting MTV’s Video Music Awards in 2008 and 2009, Brand took on leading roles in films such as “Get Him to the Greek,” ”Arthur” and “Rock of Ages,” which hits theaters next month.

This is his first time hosting the MTV Movie Awards.

Executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic, who worked with Brand on the VMAs, calls the actor-comedian “such a brilliant talent.”

“He brings the funny but he also has that rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic,” he said.

The top contenders at the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards are “The Hunger Games” and “Bridesmaids,” which have eight nominations each, including bids for best cast, breakthrough performance and movie of the year. The show also includes offbeat categories such as best kiss, best fight, and best on-screen dirtbag. Fans can select the winners by casting votes online.

Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Mark Wahlberg are among the stars set to appear at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, which will be presented June 3 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., and broadcast live on MTV.

Hollywood studios, guilds, agencies align for vets LOS ANGELES (AP) — Though often rivals when it comes to fighting for fair contracts, hot scripts, top talent and big audiences, Hollywood’s power players are united in their support for American veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Movie studios, TV networks, talent agencies and the entertainment unions, together with a host of nonprofit groups, have created the “Got Your 6” initiative, a multipronged effort to support military veterans and their families.

“It’s an opportunity for all of us,” said Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer, who announced the campaign Wednesday. “I can’t think of anything more important than supporting the troops that are coming back from active service.”

More than a million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to return to the U.S. over the next five years, said Chris Marvin, director of Got Your 6.

“Got your six” is military lingo, an expression of solidarity that means “I’ve got your back and I know you’ve got mine,” Marvin said.

“It means we’re watching out for each other and we’re all in this together,” he said.

“

”

forged Picasso signatures in the past, but felt confident about Bodish’s print.

Florman said Picasso designed the print to advertise a 1958 Easter exhibition of his ceramic work in Vallauris, France.

She said the artist did these prints for several years, and it’s hard to tell how many are around today. There were 100 prints made for the ceramics exhibition, and Picasso signed them all.

But Florman said Bodish’s print, which is marked as No. 6, is valuable for being in the artist’s proof range. That means it’s possibly one of only a handful he personally reviewed before they were mass produced.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Take caution when you explain the situation to grandchild Dear Annie: We have two children and a 13-year-old grandson.

Two years ago, our 48-year-old unmarried son very reluctantly told us that he has been diagnosed with gender identity disorder and considers himself to be female. This came as a complete surprise, but we decided to support her wholeheartedly, and we find her to be much happier than before.

Here is the problem: Our other son and his wife don't want their teenage son to know because they are afraid it will have a negative effect on his development. This makes family gatherings impossible, as the boy's uncle now dresses and lives as a woman.

We love both of our children and our grandson, but we are getting older and don't know how long this impasse will last. How do we best explain transsexualism to a boy that age, and should we? — The Parents Dear Parents: Children are amazingly adaptable, and a typical boy of 13 who watches TV and sees movies likely already has a grasp on gender identity issues. Having a relative who is transsexual is not going to make him change his gender. But we agree that these things should be explained sensitively, and the parents must be the ones to make that decision. Please contact PFLAG (pflag.org), which has a transgender network and can help you.

Dear Annie: My best friend, "Donna," has been happily married for 34 years. She and her husband eloped when she was 21, and they now have two grown sons and a 16year-old daughter. Donna has mentioned more than once that she regrets not having had a wedding.

So, when she announced that she was having a commitment ceremony for her 35th anniversary and asked me to participate, I was thrilled.

However, what she is planning is far different from what I had imagined. She plans to wear a long white dress with a full train and a waist-length veil, and she has invited 100 guests. She wants me to be her matron of honor.

I feel that this is something much more appropriate for a young first-time bride, not a 57-year-old adult who looks her age. I fear she is making a ridiculous spectacle of herself — and, yes, of me, too.

How do I tell her this? Or am I just being an old wet hen myself? — Renee Dear Renee: As the matron of honor, you should offer to help Donna pick out her wedding dress.

This will give you the opportunity to show your enthusiasm for something more appropriate. However, this is the wedding Donna dreamed of, and now she can afford it. If she is determined to go the whole nine yards (of material), we hope you will be a good sport. That's what best friends do for each other.

Dear Annie: As the representative of more than 10,000 florists, wholesalers and flower growers, the Society of American Florists would like to respond to "Friend of a Young Cancer Victim," who asked readers to list a charity or medical organization in lieu of flowers in death notices.

While donations to charitable organizations are a worthwhile cause, flowers also can be a great source of comfort to those grieving the loss of a loved one. They express sympathy in a heartfelt way, honor the deceased's life and add warmth to the memorial service.

Research from Harvard and Rutgers shows that flowers increase feelings of compassion and happiness, and people feel less depressed, anxious and agitated in their presence.

Instead of requesting "in lieu of flowers," we hope the family will consider simply stating, "The family suggests memorial contributions be sent to Such-And-Such" or "Memorial contributions can be made to Such-And-Such." This provides a suggestion, without dictating to family and friends what they should do. — Jenny Scala, Director of Consumer Marketing, Staff Liaison of Professional Floral Communicators International Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Please tell us the cold truth about butter Dear Heloise: I would like to know if butter has to be kept in the refrigerator. I buy a pound of butter, and I put a stick on a glass dish and keep covered on the counter.

I put the rest in the refrigerator until needed. Is this correct? — A Reader, via email Great question! Well, yes, it’s probably OK under certain conditions.

If your kitchen is a reasonably cool temperature, so the butter stays solid and it’s only a few days, you’re probably OK. However, according to manufacturers, it is best for butter to be refrigerated until used.

They recommend keeping it in

Hints from Heloise Columnist the original container in the coldest part of your fridge, and not storing it in the door.

Most packages will have a “use by� or “best by� date on them, so be sure to use it by then.

So, it’s up to you! Butter is better if kept in the cold, but butter kept out of it is probably safe, as long as you don’t let it

get old! — Heloise GIFT GOODIES Dear Heloise: When my mom went to the hospital to have my baby brother, she had a gift for me to unwrap every single day that she was in the hospital. (In those days, they kept mothers about a week.) I can still remember the basket of gifts, each one wrapped individually in tissue paper, that I chose a trinket from each morning that she was gone.

It was such a neat idea, and now I do it with our grandchildren when they come to stay. — Corrinne Berkland in Texas TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: I travel frequently on business. I’ve heard

that hotel TV remote controls can harbor germs.

On last week’s trip, the remote was visibly dirtier than usual. I remembered that I had some zipper sandwich bags with me, so I dropped the remote into a bag and zipped it up. The remote worked fine from inside the bag, and there was no more worry about germs.

This hint might be handy at home, as well, to protect your remote when enjoying TV while eating messy foods. — Doug C., Palmdale, Calif.

Yes, it is handy at home, especially if there are family members who eat sticky food while watching TV! Glad you wrote. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, May 11, 2012 Either for business or pleasure, you’ll get multiple opportunities to travel as much as you like in the year ahead.

Most jaunts will be of short duration, but in certain cases several may involve trips of considerable distance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — What develops could help you achieve an ambitious objective that you’ve been anxious to get a handle on, but once you recognize the right moment you’ll have to act quickly. It’s likely to be fleeting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The best chance you’ll get for advancing a personal interest is likely to come about through a new contact. Be alert for just such an opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — By being a bit more resourceful than usual, you could generate some kind of exciting concept. Don’t discount it just because it doesn’t stem from your normal way of thinking.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Truly listen to what others have to say, because a casual comment could furnish you with a valuable point of view that you wouldn’t have otherwise thought of or considered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t be hesitant about applying some new and untried procedures to an old assignment. It could turn out to be a time-saver that’ll enhance your productivity well into the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You have two valuable assets currently: One is your talent for organization, and the other is your ability to effectively delegate who should do what. Don’t let these gifts go unused.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — One of your faults can be letting things go until the last minute, and you could succumb to this today. Fortunately, however, you’re likely to get things done just under the wire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t even think about throwing in the towel if things aren’t going too well. You’re likely to surprise everybody, including yourself, by being a remarkably strong finisher.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your material prospects look exceptionally hopeful, and you could reap gains in several areas in ways you’d least expect. Once opened, these avenues will keep producing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Even if things don’t go exactly as you had planned, the results will turn out to be comparable to those you wanted.

Be as flexible as possible and ready to flow with events.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your shopping instincts will be quite acute, enabling you to spot something of value that everybody else is overlooking. You’ll recognize a great buy when you see one.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Chance could bring you closer together with a nodding acquaintance.

By spending some time with one another, you’ll find a basis for a strong friendship.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, May 11, the 132nd day of 2012.

There are 234 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 11, 1862, during the Civil War, the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia was scuttled by its crew off Craney Island, Va., to prevent it from falling into Union hands.

On this date: • In 1647, Peter Stuyvesant arrived in New Amsterdam to

become governor of New Netherland.

• In 1812, British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval was assassinated in the lobby of the House of Commons by John Bellingham, who was hanged a week later.

• In 1858, Minnesota became the 32nd state of the Union.

• In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded during a banquet at the Biltmore Hotel in

Los Angeles.

• In 1937, “SPAM” was registered as a trademark by Hormel Foods, producer of the canned meat product.

• In 1946, the first CARE packages arrived in Europe, at Le Havre, France.

• Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Mort Sahl is 85. Rock singer Eric Burdon (The Animals; War) is 71. Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo (SHOH’reh ahg-DAHSH’-loo) is 60.

Actress Frances Fisher is 60.

Change to top of WTC raises questions over height

AP PHOTO

In this image released Thursday, by The Durst Organization, is an artist’s rendering of the proposed design for One World Trade Center in New York. The image shows the 400-foot-tall mast atop the tower.

NEW YORK (AP) — A change to the design of a needle that will sit atop One World Trade Center is raising questions over whether the building will still be America’s tallest when completed.

The 408-foot-tall needle will no longer be enclosed in a fiberglassand-steel enclosure called a radome, a feature that was recently removed from the original design because the building’s developer says it would be impossible to properly maintain or repair it.

Without the enclosure, it’s unclear whether the needle is an antenna or a spire — a crucial distinction in terms of measuring the building’s height. Without the spire, One World Trade Center would actually be shorter than the Willis Tower in Chicago, which currently wears the crown of tallest building in the U.S. at 1,451 feet, not including its own antennas.

Last week, the skyscraper became New York City’s tallest building as workers erected steel columns that were just high enough to rise above the Empire State Building’s observation deck.

The building is being constructed to replace the twin towers

destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

In order to repair or replace a broken panel on the needle’s proposed enclosure, a climber would have to scale the spire, attach a cable to the top, lower the cable about 2,000 feet down, and then use it to hoist a 2,000-pound piece of fiberglass back to the top, said Jordan Barowitz, a spokesman for Douglas Durst, the building’s developer.

“This is the stuff of ‘Mission Impossible,’ not skyscraper construction,” Barowitz said.

The tower’s architects at Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Designs call for the tower’s roof to stand at 1,368 feet (416.97 meters) — the same height as the north tower of the original World Trade Center. With the needle, the building’s total height will be a symbolic 1,776 feet, referring to America’s founding in 1776.

Experts and architects have long disagreed about how to measure the height of skyscrapers that have masts, spires and antennas that stretch into the sky.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a Chicagobased organization considered an authority on such records, says antennas do not count when determining building height.

An antenna, the group says, is something simply added to the top of a tower that can be removed. By contrast, a spire is something that is part of the building’s architectural design.

The council has not yet decided how the needle’s lack of an enclosure will affect its status as either an antenna or a spire, though it will, indeed, function as a broadcast antenna.

On its website, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey describes the needle as an antenna.

“The short answer is we don’t know yet,” said Kevin Brass, a spokesman for the council. “There is no doubt that this change will raise questions about the height.”

The council’s committee on building height will ultimately have to sit down with updated drawings from the architects and developers and make a final determination, Brass said.

Poll shows Americans’ pessimism on economy growing Obama faces challenge as election nears WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are growing more pessimistic about the economy and handling it remains President Barack Obama’s weak spot and biggest challenge in his bid for a second term, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

And the gloomier outlook extends across party lines, including a steep decline in the share of Democrats who call the economy “good,” down from 48 percent in February to just 31 percent now.

Almost two-thirds of Americans — 65 percent — disapprove of Obama’s handling of gas prices, up from 58 percent in February. Nearly half, 44 percent, “strongly disapprove.” And just 30 percent said they approve, down from 39 percent in

February.

These findings come despite a steady decline in gas prices in recent weeks after a surge earlier in the year. The national average for a gallon of gasoline stood at $3.75, down from a 2012 peak of $3.94 on April 1.

U.S. presidents have limited ability to affect gas prices, which are determined in international markets. However, the party out of power always blames whoever is president at the time for high gas prices, as Republican Mitt Romney is doing now and as Democrat Obama did in 2008 when George W. Bush sat in the Oval Office.

Of all the issues covered by the poll, Obama’s ratings on gas prices were his worst.

The public’s views tilt negative on his handling of the overall economy, 52 percent disapprove while 46 percent approve. In February, Americans were about evenly divided on his handling of the issue.

The economy is the No. 1 issue in the presidential race, thanks to the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression and one of the shallowest-ever recoveries.

While the recession officially ended in summer 2009, unemployment remains stubbornly high, at 8.1 percent in April.

Some 12.5 million Americans are out of work.

The increasing skepticism toward the recovery tracks a weakening overall economy as measured by the gross domestic product, and matches economic

“

At some point the Republicans and Democrats have to come together to turn the economy around. As well as the rest of the country.

— Heather Beckman

growth downgrades by many economic forecasters.

Against this background, the weak economy looms as a huge liability for Obama, and any drop in public confidence in his ability to deal with it can threaten his re-election prospects.

Although Obama held broad advantages over Romney on handling social issues and protecting the country, when it came to the economy about the same percentage said they trust Romney to handle it as trust Obama.

Mindful of Obama’s vulnerability, Romney focuses

frequently on the economy, suggesting that his business background makes him the candidate who can create jobs. Like most Republicans, he blames Obama’s policies for making the economy worse.

Obama acknowledges that times remain hard for many, but says conditions are slowly improving. He suggests the best chance for full recovery is if voters stick with him.

Heather Beckman, 29, of Lantana, Fla., is a Democrat who said she’s undecided about her vote but leaned to Obama. She believes the president can

”

put the economy back on track, but not by himself.

“At some point, the Republicans and Democrats have to come together to turn the economy around. As well as the rest of the country.”

However, Republican Roni Lovell, 68, of Edgewood, Wash., said Romney’s the one to help the economy turn the corner. “He has helped some really big companies come out of their financial woes,” said the retired school administrator. “Obama has proved he can’t do it and it’s time someone else gives it a try.”

Dragons Lair EASTLAKE — Starting pitcher Cody Anderson and two relievers combined to scatter six hits as the Lake County Captains edged the Dayton Dragons 2-1 on Thursday night.

MIAMI COUNTY

TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe turned a slim two-run lead into a 15-1 victory Thursday in the Division II Sectional semifinal round, capitalizing on every chance it got to get past nonleague rival Milton-Union.

Carter Langdon was 2 for 2 with a double and three RBIs, Cameron Johnson doubled and had two RBIs, Zack Blair was 2 for 3 with four RBIs, B.J. Donathan hit a two-run single and Ben Hughes doubled.

Meanwhile, Hughes struck out

nine and allowed only three hits to earn the win.

“We played a pretty good game,” Tippecanoe coach Bruce Cahill said. “We did what we had to do and took care of business.”

Trey Overla hit an RBI double to bring in the Bulldogs’ lone run.

Tippecanoe faces either Greenville — the team that knocked the Devils out of last year’s regional tournament — or Ben Logan Thursday.

Beavercreek 6, Piqua 2 BEAVERCREEK — A couple critical plays that didn’t go the Piqua baseball team’s way in a 62 loss to Beavercreek in Division I Sectional semifinal action — the Beavers’ 14th straight win.

And the final score was deceiving — because defensive breakdowns by the Indians led to three Beavercreek runs in the seventh.

With two outs and two runners on, a misplayed popup opened the door for a three-run inning.

■ Baseball

Beavercreek added a bloop hit and there was an infield grounder where Piqua failed to get an out.

And Piqua didn’t have a baserunner until the fourth inning against Mason Bach, who pitched a two-hitter while striking out four and walking one.

Piqua finished the season 1112.

Too much to handle T-Bolts take charge early, oust Trojans from tourney

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

PLEASANT HILL — Newton cashed in on its early chances.

Fortunately for the Indians, since they missed out on the rest.

Still, Kirsten Burden struck out eight, walked none and allowed only three hits as Newton won its Division IV Sectional semifinal matchup against Bethel Thursday, 4-0.

Fawn King had the big hit, an RBI double in the first inning to help the Indians tally four to kick off the game. But that was all the scoring anyone managed for the rest of the game as both Burden and Bethel’s Brianna Anthony were dealing.

“We couldn’t string hits together,” Newton coach Kirk Kadel said. “We left way too many runners on base. I think we were trying a bit too hard. It’s been a while since we’ve played.

“But we did play stellar defense and have good pitching — that was the highlight for us today.”

MIAMI COUNTY Newton travels to Bethel Tuesday for the sectional title game against Tri-Village.

After accomplishing something no Troy team had done since 1991, the Trojans should have felt a load lifted from their shoulders.

Instead, they gave themselves something to think about for next year.

After getting out of a basesloaded, no-out jam in the top of the first inning giving up only one run, third-seeded Northmont (19-8) scored five times over the course of the first

Tippecanoe 18, Bellefontaine 3 TIPP CITY — Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail champion Tippecanoe was never threatened Thursday in the Division II Sectional semifinal against division rival Bellefontaine as the Red Devils piled up 16 runs over the first three innings to kick off an 18-3 rout.

All told, the Red Devils (20-5) had 15 hits in the game, scoring seven times in both the second and third innings to put the game away early.

Kristin Mace doubled, scored three runs and had three RBIs, Hannah Beck tripled and scored three runs, Darlene Reinhard was 2 for 3 with three runs and two RBIs, CC Alvarez was 3 for 4 with two runs, Alex Dawes doubled, scored three runs and had an RBI, Jordynn Kostyal had two hits and two RBIs and Bri Eichbaum and Cassie Gingerich each had two hits and scored two

“When you give up five runs in the first two innings, you put a lot of pressure on yourselves,” Troy coach Ty Welker said.

“Only scoring one in our half of the first then giving up those runs, we took all of the pressure off of them. And put it on ourselves.”

It was the second straight year that Troy (17-10) was runruled in its first tournament game and the fourth straight exit from the tournament in the

■ Golf

Poulter, Laird tied atop TPC leaderboard VEDRA PONTE BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The TPC Sawgrass would seem to be the last golf course where a player can relax.

That might explain why Ian Poulter and Martin Laird were atop the leaderboard Thursday in The Players Championship at 7under 65, even if their mood was for entirely different reasons.

Poulter finally moved in

his new home at Lake Nona that took nearly three years to build and caused him enough grief that he said he could write a book. It took so long to unpack boxes last week that he barely had time to practice, but at least his head was clear.

“All of the hassle and stress is over, and I can just go out and play golf,” Poulter said.

Laird recently parted

with his longtime caddie, and hired a new looper who also is a friend and closer to his age.

“It was kind of nice to be out on the course and be able to chat away to someone that’s my age and is like a friend as opposed to a caddie,” he said. “That definitely helped keep me a little more relaxed on the golf course, and it feeds through all parts of your game, down

to your putting.”

It wasn’t like that for everyone.

Four players withdrew with various injuries and high scores. Sunghoon Kang opened with a quadruplebogey 9, followed with eaglepar-birdie and lost four shots over the last four holes. Jerry Kelly made four birdies and shot 82.

Tiger Woods brought a small degree of normalcy,

not necessarily a good thing for him at Sawgrass. He has never broken 70 in his 15 years at The Players Championship, and he extended that streak with a sloppy 74. This might be costly, however, because it put him in a tie for 100th and put him in serious danger of missing the cut for the second straight week. He has only missed eight cuts in his career.

“Just one of those days,” Woods said, and there seems to be a lot of those lately.

Poulter ran off four straight birdies around the turn and birdied all of the par 5s, key for this golf course. Laird was the only player without a bogey on his card. He made birdie on his final hole to catch Poulter, although his focus was more on his scorecard than the leaderboard.

Trojans

Troy’s Devin Blakely runs the bases Thursday.

■ CONTINUED FROM 16 first game for the Trojans, who won the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title in the regular season — something Troy hadn’t pulled off in 21 years, since the league the Trojans played in was called the GMVC. “If you told me before the season that we’d end up 17-10 with a league title and a No. 5 seed for the tournament, I would’ve been pretty happy with that,” Welker said. “We weren’t happy with the way it ended, of course. But I’m proud of these guys.”

Troy missed a golden opportunity to take command in the first inning.

Dylan Cascaden was hit by a pitch, Nick Antonides bunted for a single and Nathan Helke walked to load the bases with none out. Jordan Guillozet then hit into an RBI fielder’s choice to give the Trojans the lead.

But Bryan Murphy struck out the next batter and induced another groundout to get out of the jam — and the Thunderbolts took advantage.

Keegan Rottgen tripled on the first pitch he saw to lead off, then Tom Stoffel doubled to bring him in.

Alex Crabtree hit a ball up the middle that took a ridiculously bad hop on shortstop Dylan Cascaden to get through for an RBI

Troy’s Thomas Harvey takes the throw from the catcher as a Northmont runner steals a base Thursday at Northmont.

Troy starter Devon Alexander throws a pitch Thursday against Northmont. single to give Northmont a 2-1 lead after one.

Austin Sanders then led off the second with a double, Rottgen walked and Patrick Snyder laid down a sacrifice bunt that was thrown away for a twobase run-scoring error. An RBI groundout by Stoffel and a squeeze bunt by Crabtree later, Northmont held a 5-1 lead.

“Not scoring a second run in the first really hurt,” Welker said. “And then not getting outs, giving them a lot of extra outs — they’re a good team, and they’ll make you pay.”

After Jay Swigard led off Troy’s half of the fourth by reaching on an error, Devin Blakely and Cascaden hit back-to-back singles, with Cascaden’s driving in Swigard to make the score 5-2 — but Northmont tacked on two more in the bottom of the inning and four in the fifth, punctuated by a two-run homer by Todd Mangen.

Troy, meanwhile, managed only three hits off of Murphy, who struck out five and walked three.

“We struggled to compete at times today,” Welker said. “They hit the

ball hard, and we didn’t have many hard-hit balls at all. After the season we had, to not compete on a day like this …

“Murphy is one of the best pitchers in the area.

He definitely set the pace, and we didn’t have a good approach at the plate. We didn’t swing at many fastballs. He made us swing at his pitches.”

An RBI single by Snyder put an end to the game — and Troy’s stellar season — in the bottom of the sixth.

“I’m proud of these guys,” Welker said. “We didn’t have the league title handed to us. We won it.

We went out and earned it.

Hats off to our seniors, too.

They brought it home for us. They carried us on and off the field.”

Troy simply put too much weight on its shoulders to handle on Thursday.

76ers bounce Bulls in 6 games PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner hopped on the scorer’s table and played to the crowd as the catchy 76ers theme song blared in the arena.

Eight years of going home empty was over. The Sixers were ready for a long overdue postseason celebration.

Iguodala made the go-

ahead free throws with 2.2 seconds left and Philadelphia rallied for a 7978 victory over the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in Game 6 on Thursday night, advancing to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time since 2003.

Omar Asik missed two free throws for the Bulls with 7 seconds left that

would have sealed the win.

Iguodala grabbed the second miss, sprinted the length of the court, and was fouled by Asik on the driving layup.

He made both and 20,362 fans went absolutely wild.

Celtics 83, Hawks 80 BOSTON — Kevin Garnett had 28 points and 14 rebounds, hitting a jumper to give Boston the lead with 31 seconds left in

Game 6 on Thursday night, and the Celtics beat the Atlanta Hawks 83-80 to win their first-round playoff series and advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the fifth straight year. Paul Pierce had 18 points, seven assists and five rebounds for Boston despite playing with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.

BRADFORD — Haley Patty tossed a no-hitter in its Division IV Sectional semifinal matchup against Troy Christian, helping Bradford oust Troy Christian 14-0.

Patty struck out 12 and walked one, missing out on a perfect game by one batter.

She also went 3 for 4 at the plate, Michayla Barga was 2 for 3 with a home run, Courtney Miller also hit a homer, Lindsey Rose was 3 for 4 with a double and Alisha Patty and Chelsey Broughman were each 3 for 3.

Julie Young took the loss for the Eagles, striking out three and walking

Bradford moves on to face Riverside Tuesday at Russia in the sectional title game.

“We were lucky to get out of there with a win,” Covington coach Dean Denlinger said after his team escaped with an 8-6 win. “We lacked focus. We lacked intensity. Our aggressiveness went totally south on defense.

Nobody, not one player attacked the ball all night.”

With their season in jeopardy, Jessie Shilt tripled to start the bottom of the sixth. Two batters later Heidi Snipes tripled to give Covington a 7-6 lead and then scored the insurance run on a fielder’s choice.

Covington has a few days to refocus and correct its mistakes before travel-

Cleveland Indians’ Jack Hannahan, right, celebrates his two-run home run that drove in Michael Brantley (23) as Boston Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach, rear, watches in the second inning in Boston Thursday.

Indians rip Beckett, BoSox BOSTON (AP) — Embattled starter Josh Beckett did nothing to help restore his reputation Thursday night, getting booed off the field at Fenway Park in the third inning of Boston’s 8-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians.

Jack Hannahan hit a two-run homer and Jason Kipnis had a solo shot off Beckett, who was already in hot water with Red Sox fans for playing golf last week a day after he was scratched from his scheduled start with a sore lat muscle in his back.

His return to the rotation couldn’t have gone much worse. Beckett (2-4) gave up seven runs on seven hits and walked two in 2 1-3 innings as Cleveland built a 7-1 lead.

Michael Brantley went 4 for 5 with two RBIs for the Indians.

Derek Lowe (5-1) pitched six effective innings against his former team, allowing two runs and nine hits with one walk and three strikeouts. He was as

solid as he needed to be with the Indians’ offense taking full advantage of Beckett’s struggles.

Dustin Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 11 with a leadoff homer in the seventh, cutting Cleveland’s lead to 7-3. But that did little to lift the somber mood at Fenway Park as Red Sox fans watched their team lose for the 11th time in its last 12 home games.

Boston, last in the AL East at 12-19, has dropped eight of nine overall.

Beckett, who has a 5.97 ERA, was booed just a few hours after manager Bobby Valentine downplayed the uproar over the pitcher’s golf outing.

Word surfaced Wednesday that Beckett had hit the links with his sore lat and fans jeered him early and often as the Indians teed off for seven runs before the third inning was over.

It’s not the first time Beckett’s off-the-field decisions and commitment to the team have come into question.
