TROY — The first day of school kicked off for students and staff at Troy City Schools Wednesday. Troy City Schools’ Superintendent Eric Herman said despite limited access to the high school and junior high due to North Market Street construction, the first school day of the year went smoothly. “We go in fine and kids got to school just fine,” Herman said Wednesday. Herman said students walking to the high school and junior high will need to use the Staunton Road and Market Street crosswalks due to sidewalks being installed this week. Full access is expected by the end of next week, according to city officials.

Transportation for students on school buses also went well on the first day of school, Herman said. “We had a pretty smooth day, it can’t get much better than than,” Herman said. Multiple staff changes and curriculum overhaul awaits public K-12 students for the 20132014. Troy City Schools’ students will use a “wavier day” on Aug. 30 for teachers to attend an administrative meeting concerning the new teacher evaluation system which will be implemented this year. “We’ll have an all district staff meeting to come together as a large group to understand all the changes that will be taking place this year,” Herman said. All teachers will meet at the

Troy police shoot armed man By Melanie Yingst Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Two city of Troy Police Department officers are on paid administrative leave following the shooting of an armed Troy man outside Buckeye Community Apartments on Tuesday night. A 9-1-1 call of a domestic violence situation and stabbing of a woman Tuesday night

prompted the police to respond the complex. According to the Ohio Attorney General Office’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s preliminary investigation, three officers with the Troy Police Department responded to 580 Staunton Commons Drive, Apartment A2, after receiving a 9-1-1 domestic violence call at approximately 10:15 p.m. Al R. Pickett, 52, of Troy, was shot and killed

Hospices form partnership to benefit community Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY — Two nonprofit organizations — known for helping community members and their families during end-oflife — have come together. Linda Daniel, executive director of Hospice of Miami County, and Kent Anderson, president and CEO of Hospice of Dayton, havve announced that the two organizations have formed a partnership. “Our organizations have collaborated for several years. This partnership simply formalizes our relationship,” said Hospice of Dayton Board of Directors Chairman Greg Toman. “By combining our strengths, we are ensuring the long-term success of the shared mission of serving more patients and their families with even higher levels of

hospice care.” Hospice of Dayton and Hospice of Miami County came together because of their shared values, shared culture, shared mission and shared expertise. With more than 30 years of care delivery, both organizations offer more visits and direct care to patients than any other area hospice providers; more resources to provide care to patients and their families, like respiratory therapy, massage therapy; and, greater support by providing every level of care a hospice patient or their family may need. “The benefit of our partnership, beyond enhancing care and services to the community, is the ability for both organizations to maintain their name, local identity and local presence,” said Tom Hagan, board of directors, chairman of Hospice of Miami

County. “Additionally, each organization will have board of directors comprised of community members, and local leadership that will focus on specific community needs and desired services. By keeping our local boards and local management, we will maintain our community roots and focus.” As the only non-profit hospice care organizations in Miami and Montgomery counties, Hospice of Miami County and Hospice of Dayton fulfill a unique role by providing mission-driven, community-based care. This care includes nationally recognized best practices and is the best available in the respective communities. “Hospice of Miami County and Hospice of Dayton set the standard for end-of-life care

MIAMI COUNTY — Miami County detectives have arrested David C. Shuman, 39, of Sidney, and Morgan D. Mitchell, 29, of Greenville, on single counts of burglary. Both are suspected of being involved in numerous daytime bur- Mitchell glaries in Miami and Darke counties, according to Miami County Sheriff ’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. The arrests were made in Darke County with the assistance of Darke County detective, he said. Shuman is incar- Shuman cerated in the Miami County Jail, while Mitchell is incarcerated in the Darke County jail facing a warrant for probation violation there. Mitchell will be extradited to Miami County in the near future to face the burglary charge. Detectives are continuing to follow up and additional burglary charges will likely be forthcoming when the investigation is completed.

Both suspects are known to law enforcement as heroine addicts, which Duchak said was likely fueling the need pairs burglary spree. Jewelry boxes, along with other likely stolen items, were recovered from the vehicle, according to Duchak. “We will be positing photos of those items on the Miami County Sheriff ’s Facebook page in the near future requesting the public’s assistance with identification of property,” he said. Duchak said the sheriff’s office is asking the public to remain vigilant in reporting suspicious vehicles and persons in their neighborhoods. He said they believe there are still others actively committing burglaries in Miami County other than Shuman and Mitchell.

According to Patrick Titterington, city of Troy’s safety and service director, patrolmen Matthew Moiser and Zac Mumford are on paid administrative leave per city policy and standard protocol after they shot and killed Pickett. Pickett was armed with a gun and a knife outside of the apartment complex, according to 9-1-1 audio. Patrolman Brian Ross also was at the scene during the incident, but did not fire any shots, according to Titterington. Pleading for her life, the female victim was allegedly stabbed by Pickett before going outside and confronting police in the courtyard with a gun, according to the Miami County 9-1-1 audio. The victim, whose name has not been released, was trans-

ported by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital after being transported to Upper Valley Medical Center by Troy Medics. According to police officials, she has been treated and released. A juvenile male also was in the home during the incident. According to the 9-1-1 audio, the adult female pleads with Pickett and repeatedly states “please don’t hurt me” as Pickett orders her to lay down. The female also states that “I’ll drop the charges” and “the cops are not going to kill you” and “you don’t have to do this” during the eight minute phone call. Minutes later, dispatch reports shots being fired outside of the apartment complex and CPR being performed on Pickett before he was confirmed dead in the courtyard. City of Troy Police Chief Charles Phelps and Capt. Joe Long responded to the scene, but were unable to comment about the investigation on Wednesday. Troy Police Chief Charles Phelps requested the Bureau of Criminal Investigation serve as an independent agency to handle the case. Titterington said BCI was immediately called to investigate the incident

as is standard in any case involving shots fired by police.BCI, which is a division of the Attorney General’s Office, provides expert criminal investigating services to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies on request. Additional circumstances surrounding the shooting are under investigation. QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD Madonna Basham said she has lived at the Buckeye Community Apartments for approximately five years. Basham, who lives in the building across from where the shooting incident took place, said the apartment complex is a quiet, kid-friendly place to raise her daughter who started first grade at Cookson Elementary School Wednesday. “I’m just so thankful it happened at night because there are kids out here playing all day long,” Basham said Wednesday. “It was quiet last night because all the kids were getting ready to go to school today.” A hop scotch game etched in pastel chalk lined the sidewalk outside of the courtyard where Pickett was shot Tuesday night. Stakes and twine outlined where the body laid in the grass

for hours as investigators scoured the scene. Sand — to absorm the blood stain — was piled on the grass inside the primitive perimeter where Pickett’s body laid hours after the shots were fired. “There are kids around all the time,” Basham said Wednesday afternoon. “I’ve lived here for five years and nothing like this has ever happened.” Basham said Pickett and the woman had lived in the apartment building in the last six to seven months. Neighbors also said Pickett worked at a local factory and never had any prior incidents with the couple that they knew of. “I would wave hello to them, but that’s about it,” Basham said. Basham said she thought she heard teenagers screaming in a nearby park and thought the “pop, pop” sounds were fireworks, then followed by up to six more “pop” sounds. Basham said she didn’t realize those sounds were gun shots fired until she saw police cars and lights surround the complex Tuesday night. Basham said she stayed up all night and was unable to leave her apartment building until police cleared the scene shortly

after 6 a.m. Basham said she was just thankful the body was removed before children were ready to go to their first day of school that morning. “How do you go to bed when something like this happens?” she said. “It was like watching The First 48 live — like real life stuff.” Neighbors said they had seen Pickett helping the woman and teenager around the apartment complex, but generally kept to themselves. “When you live in an apartment, you generally keep to yourself,” Basham said. “This is an unfortunate thing.” Basham said although her daughter knew something had happened in their neighborhood, she said she’ll try to keep the details of the incident at a minimum. “Kids aren’t going to know much, thankfully,” Basham said. “My daughter just asked that the dog come in and stay with her to protect her so that helped.” Basham gazed at the scene where Pickett’s body laid and stopped for a moment. “Fireworks. Wow. I can’t believe it wasn’t fireworks,” said Basham, before heading to her home.

NSA collected thousands of U.S. communications

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Security Agency declassified three secret court opinions Wednesday showing how in one of its surveillance programs it scooped up as many as 56,000 emails and other communications by Americans not connected to terrorism annually over three years, revealed the error to the court — which ruled its actions unconstitutional — and then fixed the problem. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper authorized the release, part of which Obama administration officials acknowledged Wednesday was prodded by a 2011 lawsuit filed by an Internet civil liberties activist group. The court opinions show that when the NSA reported its inadvertent gathering of American-based Internet traffic to the court in September 2011, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the agency to find ways to limit what it collects and how long it keeps it.

In an 85-page declassified FISA court ruling from October 2011, U.S. District Judge James D. Bates rebuked government lawyers for repeatedly misrepresenting the operations of the NSA’s surveillance programs. “This court is troubled that the government’s revelations regarding NSA’s acquisition of Internet transactions mark the third instance in less than three years in which the government has disclosed a substantial misrepresentation regarding the scope of a major collection program,” Bates wrote in a footnoted passage that had portions heavily blacked out in the government’s disclosure. The NSA had moved to revise its Internet surveillance in an effort to separate out domestic data from its foreign targeted metadata — which includes email addresses and subject lines. But in his October 2011 ruling, Bates ruled that the government’s “upstream” collection of data — taken from internal U.S. data sources — was unconstitutional.

Three senior U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday that national security officials realized the extent of the NSA’s inadvertent collection of Americans’ data from fiber optic cables in September 2011. One of the officials said the problem became apparent during internal discussions between NSA and Justice Department officials about the program’s technical operation. “They were having a discussion and a light bulb went on,” the official said. The problem, according to the officials, was that the top secret Internet-sweeping operation, which was targeting metadata contained in the emails of foreign users, was also amassing thousands of emails that were bundled up with the targeted materials. Because many web mail services use such bundled transmissions, the official said, it was impossible to collect the targeted materials without also sweeping up data from innocent domestic U.S. users.

Developer seeks changes to subdivision plan By CECILIA FOX

For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

The Cedar Grove subdivision developer has returned again to ask the Tipp City council to consider more changes to their development plan. T a l i s m a n i c Properties LLC returned to council seeking further changes to the Cedar Grove subdivision plan. Council agreed two weeks ago to delay the required widening of Kessler-Cowlesville, but was uninterested in making any other concessions. At Monday’s study session, the developer requested a waiver of the city’s façade materials standard and suggested alternatives for financing the cost of extending electrical service to the new subdivision. Council was previously not in favor of another contractor extending electricity to the development and expressed disinterest allowing the developers to assess the costs to the property. Judy Tomb, general manager of Talismanic Properties, suggested an alternative option Monday night. “We have been going to bank after bank after bank and no banks are interested in doing development loans. It’s a completely new landscape for banking,” Tomb said. “It is tight. It is extraordinarily tight. There is no money left over and there’s no money to do the electric extension.” Tomb asked council to consider allowing the developer to pay for the electric extension in stages as the lots sell. Half of the $142,721 cost to extend electricity to Cedar Grove would be paid when the first 10 lots sell, Tomb suggested. The other have would be paid once another 10 lots sell. “If banks won’t lend you money to develop your lots, I’m not sure why we’d want to be in the real estate business,” city manager Jon Crusey said. Utilities director Christy Butera explained that half of the electric extension cost is due up front,

with the other half expected before power to the homes is turned on. “I don’t see any protection for us,” councilwoman Katelyn Berbach said. Crusey said council will come back in two weeks with a decision. The Cedar Grove development comprises 71 acres with 117 single-family residential lots, 17 quad-type patio home units and four commercial structures. The first phase includes about 16 acres and 42 homes. A previously approved plan for the Eidemiller property south of Ke s s l e r- C ow l e s v i l l e Road and west of the Meijer Distribution Center was abandoned because it was based on incorrect land survey data. According Crusey, the city and schools may have worked out a way to keep schools safer. School officials met with Crusey and devised a new plan as an alternative to hiring a school resource officer, a cost the district cannot afford. Instead, the district would contract with off-duty Tipp City officers and county sheriffs to provide security for the schools. These officers would perform the duties of an SRO on a rotating basis, which will be made even easier by the TCPD’s new 12-hour shift schedule. Because of the new schedule, officers will have more days off to spend in the schools if they are interested. Though the officers would be off-duty, they would still wear their uniforms and use city equipment and the city would still retain liability. The city has 18 officers eligible to sign up for the program if they are interested. A full-time SRO would cost between $76,000 and $97,000 annually. Because that officer would be committed to the schools 75 percent of the year, the cost to the district would be between $57,000 and $72,000. The schools are also providing DARE Officer Dan Rittenhouse a permanent office on campus to allow him to spend

more time in the schools. In addition to his regular duties, he would also act as a SRO during an emergency. Rittenhouse previously told city officials that an iPad would make spending more time in the schools even easier, as it would allow him to take his work with him anywhere. Since then, an anonymous donor stepped forward to provide an iPad for the D.A.R.E. program. In other business, council approved a resolution allowing the school district to continue using the athletic fields and the Roundhouse in City Park for home soccer and football games. The district’s lease agreement with the city permitted the schools to use the facilities in City Park until permanent facilities were constructed, but not later than Dec. 31. As the district has not constructed permanent athletic facilities, they requested an extension of the lease agreement. The new lease agreement will allow the district to continue using City Park to host home soccer and football games until December 2023. Council also passed two ordinances accepting the Fieldstone Place Senior Living Campus public improvements and the tax increment financing (TIF) funding those improvements. The public improvements include the widening of County Road 25-A and Evanston Road, and the water and sanitary sewer main construction. Council also approved the purchase of up to 800 tons of road deicing salt from North American Salt. Five bids were received with North American Salt submitting the lowest bid. The city has used an average of 600 tons of salt per year for the last five years. Last year the city used 875 tons of salt.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Gleaner, Henderson, Ky., on back-to-school sales: August brings the usual heavily promoted back-to-school sales on clothes, electronic gear and, yes, even books. Some states will offer tax holidays. But those sales look to be less of a commercial bonanza than in years past. U.S. households are expected to pare back-to-school spending by 7.8 percent over the previous year because of the uncertain economy, the National Retail Federation reports. Based on its annual consumer survey, the trade group predicts shoppers could spend up to $26.7 billion this year. It anticipates households will spend an average $634.78 on clothing and school supplies, slipping from a projected $688.62 last year. The federation expects 56 percent of families with K-12 students will buy electronics, and those investing in a new tablet or smartphone will spend slightly less than last year, its press release says. It anticipates spending will decline to $199.05 from a projected $217.88 in 2012. Never mind that college enrollment was down 2 percent last year from the previous year, to 18.8 million. Or that this customer base, upon graduation, may be hauling comforters and couches to the parents’ basement, the standard headquarters for new graduates undertaking what has become a difficult job search. But those recent graduates won’t remain in their parents’ basements forever. Or so everybody hopes. Herald Journal, Spartanburg, S.C., on judges’ decision on nuclear waste storage: A federal court delivered a long overdue rebuke to President Barack Obama last week, reminding him that he does not have the authority to pick and choose which federal laws he will obey. This has become a particular problem with this president. For instance, he and Attorney General Eric Holder recently announced that they will no longer abide by the minimum sentences provided in federal law for drug crimes. What they plan to do is to stop charging criminals with offenses that include the mandatory minimums. Instead, they will choose other offenses that have penalties they think are more appropriate, and not use evidence that might trigger longer sentences. They are probably right in thinking that we are incarcerating people for too long for nonviolent drug offenses. But the solution to that is to change the law and change the penalties for those offenses, not to ignore the law, charge criminals with other offenses and choose what evidence is admitted into court. That’s just one example. Why is the president willing to violate this federal law? Why is he willing to endanger the health and safety of all the people living near nuclear power plants by storing the spent fuel there? Why is he willing to sacrifice the health and safety of South Carolinians as well as the Lowcountry environment? Because that’s the way Harry Reid wants it. The Senate Majority Leader doesn’t want the Yucca Mountain facility used. And Obama wants Reid’s help in pushing through his priorities. Of course, Obama doesn’t have an alternative for Yucca Mountain. He has no plan for how to handle spent nuclear fuel or surplus plutonium. He is only committed to not using the one appropriate facility we have. It is a truly unconscionable policy. But federal law requires the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to follow the licensing process for Yucca Mountain, and Obama does not have the authority to ignore that law, or any other. The president needs to pay attention to this rebuke.

LETTERS There’s no such thing as global warming To the Editor: This is in response to the letter from Mr. Russell Wheeler that appeared in the Troy Daily News Aug. 13. It seems that Mr. Wheeler wants to know why Speaker (John) Boehner wasn’t stupid enough to walk into an ambush of humiliation (re: Climate Change Denier Award). I would say that Mr. Boehner is not denying anything. The figure of “97 percent agreement” on climate change is, at best, disingenuous. The fact is that many scientists disavow the notion of “man made” global warming. “Climate change” occurs inevitably over time. Many scientists are predicting a near future ice age rather than long-term warm-

ing. (What could we do, anyway, if cosmic forces are so strong?) Even if there is such a thing, do you propose to ride your pony to work instead of your car? Yes, go on if you want us to follow. I would agree with Mr. Wheeler that Mr. Boehner has let the country down. He should have assigned a special prosecutor (or investigator?) for Benghazi, NSA, IRS … who knows what else? At least Boehner could help free us from foreign oil. But why should Lord Caesar Obamus allow that? It wouldn’t make HIM strong, only America strong. — Greg Schneider Tipp City

Doonesbury

I finally suffer my first legitimate (coughing) injury Having spent 10 years covering sports for a living — and a lifetime watching sports — I’ve seen more injuries than most medical interns. I’ve seen broken limbs, torn ligaments and more blood than the entire “Twilight” movie franchise. I’ve seen athletes bent, twisted and broken. I’ve witnessed more body parts twisted and turned in ways God never intended than I care to remember. Here’s the funny thing — there’s always been a part of me that’s envied each and every one of them. Not so much because I enjoy pain — the fact that I’m afraid of physical contact and shy away from needles are the reasons I gave up organized sports after the seventh grade — but because I’ve always been secretly jealous of the great stories that go along with them. I’ve always wanted a scar I could point to and say, “Yeah, I had to have knee surgery after I blew out my knee leading my team to the league championship.” I’ve wanted to complain about my joints aching every time there’s a good rain on the way because of my football playing days. I wanted to be the kid who went to school the next day with a cast for everyone to sign because I broke my wrist sliding into home with the game-winning run. The fact of the matter, however, is that I never had a stitch or a broken

House Bill 920 discussed by board By ASHLEY MOOR

For the Weekly Record Herald

WEST MILTON — At the Milton-Union Board of Education meeting on Monday, the ramifications of the passing of House Bill 920 was discussed. Board member Sam Huffman met with House Representative Richard Adams to discuss Senate Bill 920 and the negative effects that it has had on rural school districts like West Milton. “It was a very … interesting discussion,” Huffman said. House Bill 920 was passed in 1976, freezing property tax revenues at the dollar amount. So even when home values increase, a school district’s revenue remains the same. The only revenue increases that are permitted are one time increases for construction and a small amount of revenue growth on property values. Due to the decreased amount of funds, schools

began to regularly campaign in Columbus for increased funding. According to Huffman, it is mostly the larger schools that have the pull to acquire the extra funding. “We need to a group together for the small schools in the district,” Huffman said. Superintendent Dr. Virginia Rammel also spoke with the Buckeye Association of School Administrators Director of Government al Relations Tom Ash about this same issue. “Ash is working to help get our voice heard in Columbus,” Rammel said. The board briefly discussed an idea to meet with at least three other boards from small rural school districts. The group would send a representative to Columbus in January to present their argument. No plans for this have been finalized. A donation of school supplies from the Monroe Grange was accepted by the board.

“(Monroe Grange) called and asked if we would like a donation of some school supplies, and of course we said yes. We are very grateful for their generous donation,” Rammel said. The donated school supplies include pencils, pens, rulers, notebooks and folders for the elementary students. With the remaining issues being sorted by the board, there is now a visible end in sight to the completion of the new school building. “There’s not that much to talk about this time around,” joked board president Larry Dehus. The only issue left to resolve is the lack of grass that has grown on the school grounds. The grounds will have to be reseeded the achieve desired grass growth. The next Milton-Union Board of Education meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the board conference room.

AP Photo Chris Haug, chief of media relations at Fort Hood, reads a statement during a press conference regarding the day’s developments in the the court martial of U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, Wednesday in Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan rested his case Wednesday without calling witnesses, choosing not to challenge the government’s case against him in the deadliest mass shooting on a U.S. military base in history.

No defense from suspect in 2009 Fort Hood shooting FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — The soldier on trial for the deadly 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood refused to put up a fight on Wednesday, resting his case without calling a single witness or testifying in his own defense. Maj. Nidal Hasan could face the death penalty if convicted for the attack that killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at the Texas military base. But when given the chance to rebut prosecutors’ lengthy case — which included nearly 90 witnesses and hundreds of pieces of evidence — the Army psychiatrist declined. About five minutes after court began Wednesday, a day after prosecutors rested their case, the judge asked Hasan how he wanted to proceed. He answered: “The defense rests.” The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then asked Hasan: “You have the absolute right to remain silent. You do not have to say anything. You have the right to testify if you choose. Understand?” Hasan said he did. When the judge asked if this was his personal decision, he answered: “It is.” Osborn then adjourned the trial until Thursday to give prosecutors time to prepare closing arguments, and jurors were led out of the courtroom. Hasan’s move wasn’t completely unexpected, considering he has made no attempt since his trial began two weeks ago to prove his innocence. He has sat mostly in silence, raising few objections and questioning only three prosecution witnesses. Instead, he appears to be making his case through leaks to the media — even though jurors are barred from reading media reports about the case. Taken together, the leaks reveal that Hasan, an American-born Muslim, justifying the shooting as a necessary killing of American soldiers to protect Muslim insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hasan allowed his civil attorney to give The New York Times a report showing that he told military mental health workers after the attack that he could “still be a martyr” if convicted and executed by the government. He also sent a personal letter sent to the local newspaper. Most recently, two emails he released to the Times show that Hasan asked his Army supervisors how to handle three cases that disturbed him. One involved a soldier who reported to him that U.S. troops had poured 50 gallons of fuel into

the Iraqi water supply as revenge. “I think I need a lot of reassurance for the first few times I come across these,” Hasan wrote in an email on Nov. 2, 2009 — three days before the shooting. Hasan’s email signature included a quote from the Quran: “All praises and thanks go to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds.” On the first day of the trial, Hasan had tried to cross-examine a former supervisor about the fuel-dumping allegations, but Osborn quickly silenced him. She ruled the line of questioning out of bounds and not relevant to the case. The judge also barred Hasan from arguing during trial that the killings were in defense of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Richard Rosen, a military law expert who teaches at Texas Tech University and has followed the trial, said Hasan might be using the media to present the case that Osborn won’t let him in court. “I thought he might use this as a show trial to kind of put the Americans on trial for things we’re doing in the Middle East and Afghanistan,” Rosen said. “But this may be an alternative means of doing that.” Inside the courtroom, Hasan has done little to challenge the narrative of military prosecutors, who showed evidence of Hasan’s laptop being used to search the Internet for “jihad” and find articles about calls to attack Americans in the days and even hours before the rampage. He declined to challenge witnesses, including several shot during the attack, who recalled hearing a shout of “Allahu Akbar!” — Arabic for “God is great!” — inside a crowded medical building at Fort Hood before Hasan opened fire using a laser-sighted handgun. Hasan did address jurors during a brief opening statement, but he told them that evidence would show he was the shooter and called himself a soldier who had “switched sides” in a war. However, he has never played the role of a high-threat, angry extremist. Hasan, who was paralyzed from the waist down when shot by Fort Hood police officers responding to the rampage, hasn’t gotten agitated in court or raised his voice. The military defense attorneys ordered to help him during the trial have accused Hasan of trying to secure himself a death sentence. The attorneys asked that their advisory roles be minimized, but the judge refused.

The tour takes visitors right by the tracks, but that was simply by luck though,

Houchens said. “The cave determined part of it, and we determined part of it,” he said of the tour’s walkway. Developers knew of some cave formations they wanted to highlight for guests, such as the four-story waterfalls and the bear wallows throughout the cave, but another explorer found the picarry tracks during a tour after the sidewalks were installed.

Keep school lunches healthy AIMEE BLUME

Scripps Howard News Service

It’s that time again to pack brown bags and cartooned lunchboxes with food you hope your kid will eat. The challenges are daunting. How do you find a way to offer the food you know your child will eat, keep it from spoiling by lunchtime and make it creative enough so that school box comes home empty? April Boeke of Culinary Innovations in Evansville, Ind., has experience, not only as a trained chef who has taught cooking with kids’ classes and culinary classes, but, more importantly, as the mother of a 7-year-old son, Quentin. Boeke started early encouraging Quentin to be a child who will eat almost anything. But she still works to make his lunches creative. “For us, the rule of thumb from the time Quentin was tiny was that he always went to the store with me, and if something was on the outer perimeter of the store — that is, meat, fresh fruit or vegetables, or dairy — it was fair game,” said Boeke. “If he wanted something from those sections, I didn’t say no. We’d take it home and figure it out, tear it up, play with it, prepare it, and then 98 percent of the time, he’d eat it, as long as I let him take part in it. The funkier and more colorful the food, the better. He’d get dragon fruit, or even Brussels sprouts. We bought Brussels sprouts on the stalk one day, and because we took it home and he got to pull the little sprouts off, he ate them. Two weeks before, he wouldn’t eat them out of the bag, but he would if he was involved.” That adventurous beginning means that today Boeke doesn’t have to convince her son to venture beyond the traditional childhood favorites of peanut butter, mac and cheese or pizza. “He likes regular stuff, too, but he’s the kid that when you ask what he wants for supper, he says crab legs or lamb chops, so he’s not exactly normal … I mean, he

doesn’t ask for hot dogs or chicken nuggets,” she said. “For breakfast, he’d rather have lasagna than cereal. For lunches, I just try to keep it really fresh and colorful, so it’s not a brown sandwich and a brown cookie. If it’s not something I’d really enjoy, I don’t send it with him.” Here are some items Boeke has regularly packed for school lunches: — Deconstructed sandwiches: “I’d do bread and cheese and meat,” said Boeke, “but instead of making a big sandwich, I’d cut them out separately into shapes or put them on a skewer or make tiny sandwiches cut in shapes.” — Any colorful fruit or vegetable: “Berries work well, or he really likes those mini sweet peppers with hummus or ranch dip,” said Boeke. “Tiny tomatoes, anything that can be small in baggies and is colorful and fun. I cut up a lot of melon, and use that.” — Cheese and yogurt: “Instead of just a cheese stick, we’d crumble it up or cut it into shapes or get the little Babybels with the colorful wax rinds he can peel off,” said Boeke. “Sometimes I get those yogurt sticks and freeze them so they’re kind of like sherbet by lunchtime.” — Creative sushi: “He loves sushi, so sometimes he gets real sushi,” said Boeke. “I don’t do raw fish for the lunchbox, but it can be cooked seafood or a California roll. I’ll make fruit or sandwich sushi sometimes, too. You can take bread and flatten out with a rolling pin, and put the cutup veggies and meat on it and roll it up and slice it like a sushi roll. You can do the same thing with Rice Crispy treats; roll them out flat and put fresh fruit on top and roll it up.” — Salads: “I make a tarragon chicken salad that he loves,” said Boeke, “and an Italian pasta salad and a pesto salad that he loves, too. Sometimes I send a green salad with a tiny cup of dressing on the side.” Treats: “I always try to throw in one little treat, like a bite-size candy bar or a

couple Starburst candies or apple slices with a little cup of Nutella,” said Boeke. “You can make s’mores cookies with graham crackers or vanilla wafers and fill it with Nutella, banana, peanut butter or marshmallow fluff to make a special cookie that’s more nutritious than something you’d buy in a box. I make a lot of muffins to add, too. I’ll put shredded apple or mashed banana in them.” Modern food containers and insulated carrying cases make transporting food, keeping it safely chilled and safely contained easy. “Right now, we’re really liking the bento boxes,” said Boeke. “They’re environmentally friendly, and they keep things from being smashed. Kids are really rough on their lunchboxes, and if you have the bento box, things like dips stay contained. There’s no trash and I can just throw the boxes in the dishwasher. I’ve found the canvas lunch bags, if you just tuck things in baggies, get gross after a while and are hard to clean. The plastic bento boxes you can just wash out and start again. We tuck them into an insulated carrier with some ice packs. We really like those little snacksized baggies, too. They’re a good portion size if the food is something that we don’t use the plastic lidded containers for.” One highly recommended online source for healthful lunchbox ideas is the award-winning blog “100 Days of Real Food,” by Lisa Leake. Leake does not send any processed food to school with her children; some of her favorites are whole-wheat Akmak crackers with hummus and/or cheese, boiled eggs and whole-grain muffins. Sandwiches might be built on whole-grain waffles or even apple slices layered with peanut or another nut butter or cream cheese. She often sends homemade smoothies, which she freezes in flexible silicone molds. Visit www.100daysofrealfood.com for more ideas.

and wild lands.” The Turtle Lake organic garden - maintained with interns - is an ocean of green where Blair cultivates some of the botanic species she finds on her walks. In maintaining the organic theme at Turtle Lake, she strains used vegetable oil from Steamworks Brewing Co. through pantyhose to run her yellow 1981 VW Rabbit. The garden is a supply depot for a Community Supported Agriculture program. Blair also teaches an eight-month nutrition and chef-certification course that focuses on local, wild botanical species. Blair is writing a book with a working title of “A World Wealth of Weeds” about 13 plants that are nutritional and medicinal. “They grow in compacted soil wherever there are people,” she said. Blair is part of a group that collected enough signatures to force a vote on ending the city’s use of herbicides and pesticides in city parks. The group, Organically Managed Parks Team Durango, submitted 500 signatures earlier this month. The issue is expected to be on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election. When it was discussed at a city council meeting, questions were raised about the logistics and cost of enforcing an anti-chemical ordinance. Mayor Doug Lyon expressed doubt about the chemicals’ harmfulness. Blair said the proposal would leave enough flexibility to make enforcement feasible.

DURANGO, Colo. (AP) — What Katrina Blair calls her annual walk could be considered survival training by a lot of people. Blair travels light, living off the land for a week to 10 days. She carries only a bedroll, tarp, canteen, knife, map and first-aid kit. She covers 10 to 20 miles a day, sometimes detouring to climb a peak that’s unfamiliar to her. In recent years, Blair’s walk takes her to Telluride where she teaches at the annual mushroom festival. “Food is no problem if you eat wild, local and fresh,” Blair said. “What I nibble on has great nutritional value.” Roots, mushrooms, berries, leaves, seeds and needles from evergreen trees provide a range of vital nutrients, she said. Dandelions, amaranth, lamb’s-quarter, high-alpine bistort and plantain abound and are highly nutritious. One year, she found 19 kinds of wild berries, including four varieties of gooseberries. She knows to avoid toxic bane berries. “A little food goes a long way when it’s nutritious,” Blair said. She eats when she’s hungry, but seldom puts something away for down the road. “Nature is my teacher,” Blair said. “It’s like the deer, bears and other foraging animals. What they eat is vital.” “I take a different route on each walk,” Blair said. “I walk north and northwest usually - sometimes northeast.” Blair, 43, has lived in Durango since age 3. She has a degree in biology from Colorado College and a degree in holistic health education from John F. Kennedy University, which has several locations in Northern California. In 1998, Blair started Turtle Lake Refuge, which she defines as “a nonprofit that celebrates the connection between personal health

Facebook aims to get the world online NEW YORK (AP) — Food, water and the Internet? Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to get all of the world’s 7 billion people online through a partnership with some of the largest mobile technology companies. He says the Web is an essential part of life, and everyone deserves to be connected, whether they live in Norway, Nicaragua or Namibia. “The Internet not only connects us to our friends, families and communities, but it is also the foundation of the global knowledge economy,” Zuckerberg wrote in a paper posted to his Facebook page late Tuesday. The title asks “Is Connectivity A Human Right?” Of course, connecting more people to the Internet is the kind of philanthropy that would create more potential Facebook users, which would also help boost the company’s bottom line. “There’s nothing wrong with that,” said Fordham University communications professor Paul Levinson, author of “New New Media.” “I think it is actually a profoundly important human right in the 21st century to have access to the Internet.” To get there, Facebook Inc. on Wednesday announced a partnership called Internet. org. It includes the world’s biggest social network, plus Korean electronics giant Samsung, Finnish handset maker Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and wireless chip maker Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) More companies are expected to join. Google Inc., which is not a part of the Internet.org effort, launched a similar undertaking earlier this year with the goal of getting everyone on Earth online. Called Project Loon, the effort launched Internet-beaming antennas aloft on giant helium balloons. Facebook said the group’s goal is to “make Internet access available to the two-thirds of the world who are not yet connected” — about 5 billion people. According to research group Internet World Stats, about 16 percent of Africa’s

But we believe everyone deserves to be connected.” Most of Facebook’s users live outside the U.S., and much of the site’s new user base will come from developing countries in the years ahead. And while most Americans first got online using desktop computers, many of the Internet’s newest users are bypassing PCs entirely, relying on mobile phones instead. Javier Olivan, vice president of growth and analytics at Facebook, said Facebook’s move continues what the company has already been doing to get more people online. This includes “Facebook For Every Phone,” an app that launched in 2011 to let people with simple, non-smartphones use Facebook. Facebook says it has invested more than $1 billion so far to connect people in the developing world to the Internet. The Internet.org project is Zuckerberg’s latest venture that seeks to meld philanthropy with ambition. The billionaire CEO made his first charitable splash in 2010, two years before his company went public, when he donated $100 million in Facebook Inc. stock to Newark, N.J., schools. He later gave another $500 million to a Silicon Valley charity with the aim of funding health and education issues. Earlier this year, he launched Fwd.us, a political group aimed at changing immigration policy, boosting education and encouraging investment in scientific research. Wireless equipment company Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERICY) , Web browser developer Opera Software and MediaTek, another wireless semiconductor company, are also founding members of Internet. org. Facebook’s stock price closed down 9 cents on Wednesday at $38.32. The stock is up 54 percent since the start of July. It has been on a roll since Facebook’s latest quarterly report, trading above its $38 initial public offering price for the first time since going public.

AP Photo In this March 7 photo, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at the company’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. Facebook wants to get more of the world’s more than 7 billion people online through a partnership with some of the worldճ largest mobile technology companies. Facebook Inc.

population is online, compared with 28 percent in Asia, 43 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean and 79 percent in North America. Levinson called the venture “profoundly humanistic, while adding that “at the same time, I would never say that Facebook is run by angels.” If the effort pays off, Facebook will grow its user base, advertising revenue and influence. Business and philanthropy, in this case, can go hand in hand, Levinson said. Facebook has seen a healthy growth of its advertising revenue in recent months, especially on the mobile devices it sees as the Internet’s new frontier. In its latest quarterly report, it posted the largest revenue gain since late 2011, when it was still a private company. Total revenue in the April-June quarter was up 53 percent from a year earlier to $1.81 billion.

Internet.org’s plans, still in an early, rough-draft phase, include developing cheaper smartphones and tools that would reduce the amount of data required to run mobile applications. For Facebook, the move would certainly add more users to its current 1.15 billion and with them more advertising revenue. Still, Zuckerberg paints the effort as something larger. “For nine years, we’ve been on a mission to connect the world. We now connect more than 1 billion people, but to connect the next 5 billion we must solve a much bigger problem: the vast majority of people don’t have access to the Internet,” Zuckerberg wrote. He points out that the people who already use Facebook “have way more money than the rest of the world combined.” That means it may “not actually be profitable for us to serve the next few billion people for a very long time, if ever.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Aug. 22, the 234th day of 2013. There are 131 days left in the year. On this date: In 1851, the schooner America outraced more than a dozen British vessels off the English coast to win a trophy that came to be known as the America's Cup. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln responded to Horace Greeley's call for more drastic steps to abolish slavery; Lincoln replied that his priority was saving the Union, but he also repeated his personal wish "that all men everywhere could be free." In 1910, Japan annexed Korea, which remained under Japanese control until the end of World War II. In 1922, Irish revolutionary Michael Collins was shot to death, apparently by Irish Republican Army members opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty that Collins had co-signed. In 1932, the British Broadcasting Corp. conducted its first experimental television broadcast, using a 30-line mechanical system. In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were nominated for second terms in office by the Republican National Convention in San Francisco. In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle survived an attempt on his life in suburban Paris. In 1972, a hostage drama began at a Chase Manhattan Bank branch in Brooklyn, N.Y., as John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile seized seven employees during a botched robbery; the siege, which ended with Wojtowicz's arrest and Naturile's killing by the FBI, inspired the 1975 movie "Dog Day Afternoon." In 1989, Black Panthers cofounder Huey P. Newton was shot to death in Oakland, Calif. Gunman Tyrone Robinson was later sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. Today's Birthdays: Heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley is 93. Broadcast journalist Morton Dean is 78. Author Annie Proulx (proo) is 78. Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski is 74. Actress Valerie Harper is 74. Football coach Bill Parcells is 72. Writer-producer David Chase (TV: "The Sopranos") is 68. CBS newsman Steve Kroft is 68. Actress Cindy Williams is 66.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration searched for answers Wednesday about a reported chemical weapons attack in Syria that would mark the most flagrant violation yet of the U.S. “red line” for potential military action. But the possibility of intervention seemed ever smaller after America’s top general offered a starkly pessimistic assessment of options. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a letter this week to a congressman that the administration is opposed to even limited action in Syria because it believes rebels fighting the Assad government wouldn’t support American interests if they seized power. Dempsey said the U.S. military is clearly capable of taking out Assad’s air force and shifting the balance of the war toward the armed opposition. But such an approach would plunge the U.S. into the war without offering any strategy for ending what has become a sectarian fight, he said. On Wednesday, Syrian anti-Assad activists accused the government of carrying out a toxic gas attack in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, killing at least 100 people including chil-

dren. The claims coincided with a visit by a U.N. chemical weapons team to three previous sites of alleged attacks. Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government rejected the accusations, and U.S. officials said they were seeking details of what happened. For the United States, the death toll and painful images again put a spotlight on President Barack Obama’s pledge almost exactly a year ago to respond forcefully to any chemical weapons use by the Assad government. Since then, the administration has said it has confirmed that Syrian forces have committed such attacks, and the U.S. has ordered a lethal aid package of small arms to be sent to some rebel groups, though it’s unclear what if any weapons have been delivered. Yet up to now, Obama has refused all options of direct U.S. military intervention in a civil war that has killed more than 100,000 people and displaced millions. “The United States is deeply concerned by reports that hundreds of Syrian civilians have been killed in an attack by Syrian government forces, including by the use of chemical weapons,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday.

New tremors in Egypt crisis: Mubarak ordered freed Islam.” The youth campaign that spearheaded the petition and protests against Morsi that led to his eventual ouster, Tamarod, blamed his government for Mubarak’s possible release because they said it failed to admit new evidence in the case against the autocrat. In a statement, Tamarod warned against releasing Mubarak, saying it would be a threat to national security. The group appealed to the interim authorities to use the emergency measures in place earlier this month to keep the former president behind bars. The group said revolutionary groups “will not stand idle seeing the killers of martyrs get acquitted.” “If it is acquittal for Mubarak today, it will be acquittal for Morsi tomorrow,” the group said, vowing to hold a public show trial for Mubarak soon. “We will not remain silent about freedom for any killer of the Egyptian people.” The three judges convened in Tora prison, where Mubarak has been held for most of his detention since April 2011, and their decision was transmitted to official Egyptian media. But even before they ruled, human

rights advocates were arguing for a new system of justice to make up for shoddy prosecution and a judiciary divided between loyalists of the old regime, Islamists and independents. Egypt’s prosecutor Hesham Barakat told local media that the Wednesday decision was final and his office has no plans to appeal it. A senior prison official, Mostafa Baz, told the private CBC television station that his office will ask the prosecutors on Thursday whether Mubarak is wanted in other cases. If he’s not, Baz said the former leader would be freed. The possibility of Mubarak’s release came in the midst of the post-coup crackdown that has left more than 1,000 people dead and hundreds in detention. The pro-Islamist camp was waning as its leadership and Morsi himself were arrested. Other serious blows this week were three high-level arrests: of the supreme leader and spiritual guide of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood, of a cleric instrumental in fomenting street protest against the coup, of a senior Brotherhood spokesman, and of a senior group official who served as a

governor in south Egypt during Morsi’s rule. Despite the crackdown, the pro-Morsi groups vowed to hold massive rallies on Friday. On the streets of Cairo, interviews about Mubarak highlighted the deep polarization in Egypt, which doesn’t always clearly fall into pro-Morsi or pro-military camps. “This is an absurd charade by the judiciary, the army, and the police in order to reinstate Mubarak and his corrupt regime and to rob the people of their revolution,” said Ibrahim Mohammed, who said he wasn’t a Morsi supporter. Another Cairo resident, Ahmad Kamal, said it was time Mubarak was set free. “He should have been released a long time ago. God forgive them for what they have done and the judiciary has ordered this so that should be enough. I have complete faith in the Egyptian judiciary,” Kamal said. Since his overthrow in February 2011, Mubarak has been on a roller coaster ride through the courts during which he has been convicted, only for another court to overturn the ruling, grant him a retrial and order him released. Still, he was kept behind bars pending his retrial and on other charges.

CAIRO (AP) — A court ordered the release of Hosni Mubarak and prosecutors said they’re unlikely to appeal, raising the possibility Egypt’s deposed autocrat could walk free after more than two years in detention. Wednesday’s decision threatened to stoke tensions in the deeply divided nation, widen the circle of anger against the military-backed government and amplify Islamist allegations that last month’s military coup was a step toward restoring the old regime. Even if Mubarak is released, the 85-yearold former president is still on trial on separate charges that could put him back behind bars. Meanwhile, the prospect of Mubarak freed, even if only temporarily, would feed into the larger crisis bedeviling Egypt: the violent fallout from the July 3 coup that unseated Mohammed Morsi, an Islamist who became Egypt’s first freely elected president following Mubarak’s ouster. Mubarak’s release “will cause chaos,” said human rights lawyer Nasser Amin. “It will be used by Islamists as proof of the return of the old regime … and can lead to new alliances between revolutionary groups and political

For leak, Bradley Manning gets stiffest punishment FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — Army Pfc. Bradley Manning stood at attention in his crisp dress uniform Wednesday and learned the price he will pay for spilling an unprecedented trove of government secrets: up to 35 years in prison, the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking to the media. Flanked by his lawyers, Manning, 25, showed no reaction as military judge Col. Denise Lind announced the sentence without explanation in a proceeding that lasted just a few minutes. A gasp could be heard among the spectators, and one woman buried her face in her hands. Then, as guards hurried Manning out of the courtroom, about a halfdozen supporters shouted from the back: “We’ll keep fighting for you, Bradley!” and “You’re our hero!” With good behavior and credit for the more than three years he has been held, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, said his lawyer, David Coombs. The soldier was also demoted and will be dishonorably discharged. The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago. In a statement from London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange decried Manning’s trial and conviction as “an affront to basic concepts of Western justice.” But he called the sentence a “significant tactical victory” because the soldier could be paroled so quickly.

AP Photo Army Pfc. Bradley Manning wears handcuffs as he is escorted into a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Wednesday, before a sentencing hearing in his court martial. Manning was sentenced Wednesday to 35 years in prison for giving hundreds of thousands of secret military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.

Manning could have gotten 90 years behind bars. Prosecutors asked for at least 60 as a warning to other soldiers, while Manning’s lawyer suggested he get no more than 25, because some of the documents he leaked will be declassified by then. Military prosecutors had no immediate comment on the sentence, and the White House said only that any request for a presidential pardon would be considered “like any other application.” The case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined. Manning, an Army intelligence analyvst from Crescent, Okla.,

digitally copied and released Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables while working in 2010 in Iraq. He also leaked video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least nine people, including a Reuters photographer. Manning said he did it to expose the U.S. military’s “bloodlust” and generate debate over the wars and U.S. policy. He was found guilty by the judge last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential life in prison without parole. Whistleblower advocates said the punishment was unprecedented in its severity. Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists said “no other leak case comes close.”

Tuff reassured him by saying he didn’t hurt anyone, hadn’t harmed her and could still surrender peacefully. “We’re not gonna hate you baby. It’s a good thing that you’re giving up,” Tuff said after having Hill put his weapons and ammunition on the counter. Tuff told Hill that she loved him and would pray for him. Before he surrendered, Tuff took to the school’s public address system saying that Hill was sorry for what he’d done and didn’t want to hurt anyone — although the lockdown remained in effect. Hill was arrested in midMarch for making terroristic threats in Henry County, DeKalb and Henry County sheriff’s officials have said. He was sentenced to probation.

Hill’s motive was unclear. Hill had an address listed in court records about three miles from the school in Decatur, but no clear ties to the school. School bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff says she was one of the employees held hostage. Tuff told WSB-TV in Atlanta that she tried to keep Hill talking to prevent him from walking into the hallway or through the school building. “He had a look on him that he was willing to kill — matter of fact he said it. He said that he didn’t have any reason to live and that he knew he was going to die today,” Tuff said. Law enforcement officers applauded Tuff Wednesday. “She was a real ally. She was a real hero in all of this. She just did a stellar job. She was cool, she was calm, very collected in all of this, maintained her wherewithal,” Alexander, the police chief, said. Tuff relayed messages from Hill to DeKalb County emergency dispatchers before convincing him to surrender. She told the dispatcher that Hill said he wasn’t there to hurt the children but wanted to talk to an unarmed officer. “He said call the probation

escorting them to safety. They sat outside in a field for a time until school buses came to take them to their parents at a nearby Wal-Mart. (NYSE:WMT) Hill held one or two staff members in the front office captive for a time, the police chief said, making one of them call a local TV station. At some point, he fired into the floor of the school office. As officers swarmed the campus outside, he shot at them at least a half a dozen times with an assault rifle from inside the school and they returned fire, police said. Police came into the school office, and Hill surrendered. Hill is charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Police declined to discuss what he told them when questioned. A statement from the Dekalb County Public Defender’s office said that it was representing Hill and that he has a history of mental illness. One of the office’s attorneys, Claudia Saari, said in an email that a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 5. DeKalb County Police Detective Ray Davis said

Details emerge about Georgia school shooting suspect LITHONIA, Ga. (AP) — The man accused of exchanging gunfire with police at a Georgia school didn’t seem to have any friends and rarely talked about his family or past during the months he lived with a couple who serve as pastors at a small church. But he was quiet and didn’t display anger or violent tendencies, said Natasha Knotts, the woman who took him in after he started coming to the small church where her husband is pastor and she is an assistant pastor. No one was injured in Tuesday’s standoff, parents feared the worst after reports of the gunfire began surfacing. Knotts told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Hill, who is now 20, lived with them for about six months in his late teens. Though there is no blood or legal connection between them, Knotts said she served as a mother figure for Hill. “He was part of our family,” Knotts said. Her family was aware that “he had a mental disorder” before he moved in. Hill told her that his birth mother was dead and that he didn’t know his father. He also has brothers. Police gave more details on Wednesday about the previous day’s ordeal and what led up to it. Before going to the school, investigators say that Hill took a photo of himself with the rifle and packed up nearly 500 rounds of ammunition — enough to shoot more than half the school’s students. Police said Hill, 20, got the gun from an acquaintance, but it’s not clear if he stole it or had permission to take it. No one was injured, but the suspect exchanged gunfire with police who surrounded Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy in Decatur. The school has 870 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. “We have to make a reasonable assumption he was there to do harm to someone,” said DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric L. Alexander.

Vikings play to draw, Trojans fall to Elks Staff Reports

CASSTOWN — It was their third game in five days to open the season. But the Miami East Vikings had enough left to hold off a tough — and fresh — Northwestern team that was playing its season opener, hanging on for a 1-1 draw. “I was extremely proud of the way the girls played tonight,” Miami East girls soccer coach Lil Carson said. “Not only were our legs tired, but we also had to deal with a major lineup change. But we fought hard for 80 minutes against a very good team, and I’ll take a tie out of that.” Miami East got on the board first. Emily Holicki sent a through-ball up to Kendra Beckman, who controlled it and was able to sneak the ball in near post to make it 1-0 early. But the Warriors were able to put home an equalizer with nine minutes left in the first half, taking advantage of a miscommunication by the

Vikings. It was the first goal allowed on the season by senior Kelly Rindler, who holds the career record for shutouts at Miami East with two to start the season. But she still played a stellar game, coming up with 10 huge saves to preserve the tie. “This is always a very physical game,” Carson said. “We did a great job of keeping our composure. Defensively, we were very solid, especially considering the changes.” Miami East (2-0-1) gets two muchneeded days off before yet another battle, this one on the road. The Vikings travel to West Liberty-Salem Saturday. Centerville 5, Troy 0 CENTERVILLE — The Troy Trojans knew they were in for a tough test.

All paying off Hard work has returning Trojans in good position By Colin Foster

Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Hard work paid off for Troy last season. The Trojans won the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division and finished second to Centerville in the overall GWOC standings. Troy also took second at the Division I district meet before ending its season with an 11th-place finish at regional. And with a little hard work over the summer — and four of its top five runners back — Troy coach Bob Campbell is hoping his team can take it a step further this season. “It was a (great year),” Campbell said. “The guys finished second overall in the GWOC, which was probably their highest finish ever. We’ve got a lot of guys who have been putting the work in this summer. This year, I think we’re definitely going to have, assuming Troy (Schultz) is racing consistent, a real strong top four guys, including Branden Nosker, who went to state last year. “The guys are expecting to challenge Centerville and Beavercreek in the GWOC. I didn’t see preseason rankings, I heard Centerville is 10th in the state, Beavercreek is in top 25. I know Centerville lost three of their top seven guys, but they’re so deep that they can always rebuild. The guys would love to go out on Staff photo | Anthony Weber top of the GWOC.

Nosker, who placed 12th at regional in a time of 16:11.68 to earn his first state berth, will begin his final year at Troy looking for a return trip to Hebron. Aside from him, sophomore Stephen Jones, senior Blake Guillozet and junior Troy Schultz all return.

Pack mentality: By JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

TROY — The Troy Trojans don’t possess one superstar runner. And they’ve shown for the past few years that they don’t need one. “It’ll be no different than in years past. We have to develop a very strong pack,” Troy girls cross country coach Kevin

Closely-knit Troy takes aim at GWOC

Alexander said. “We’ll have to bunch our girls up in front of the bulk of girls on the other teams. We don’t have that one frontrunner, that bona fide stud, but we have a great core group of girls that have been running varsity since they were freshmen, and no they’re all juniors and seniors. A that’s been their M.O. since they all came up.” Troy will not only be looking to defend its Greater Western Ohio Conference

North Division title — although Alexander doesn’t like to think of it as defending despite having won it a number of years in a row — but also to possibly match its fourth-place overall finish in the tough GWOC. “I don’t worry about repeats, threepeats, anything like that. It’s a different group of girls every year,” Alexander • See PACK on page 16

Bulldogs fall to Patriots Staff Reports WEST MILTON — By the time the lightning shut down the action, it was already too late as Carroll swept all three singles spots to claim a 3-1 victory at Milton-Union Wednesday. Claire and Lizzie Fetters picked up the Bulldogs’ lone win at first doubles, defeating Emily and Olivia Simmons 6-2, 6-2. The second doubles match, however, was called due to lightning. At first singles, Brooke Falb lost to Jillian Milano 60, 6-0. At second singles, Jesica Ferguson lost to Carli Milano 6-0, 6-4. At third singles, Sarah Black lost to Tye Arnold 6-1, 6-3. Milton-Union, now 2-3 on the season, hosts Dixie today.

Troy dojo students travel for testing For the Troy Daily News ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Sixteen students from the Troy Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate Dojo, taught by Kyoshi Jeff Leistner and Sensei Chris Leistner, traveled to St. Petersburg, Fla. July 22-24 to attend an international training seminar and black belt advancement test at Sirata Beach Resort and Conference Center. Students enjoyed three days of training and fun in the sun on the beach with family and friends. On the last day of the seminar the black belt advancement test was held. The Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate Dojo had 10 students promoting to various black belt levels. The youngest student from the Troy dojo promoting to black belt was Bailey Tipps. She endured a 40minute physical test consisting of 12 katas (symmetrically pre-arranged series of defensive and offensive moves demonstrating an imaginary self-defense situation), yokusoku kumites (pre-arranged fighting scenarios with an attacker to develop power and self-control), she had to answer terminology/history questions and submit a written essay. Bailey has been training very diligently for over six years to earn her Jr. Black Belt 1. The Troy Dojo was very fortunate to have several high-ranking adult students promoting to first-degree up to sixth-degree black belt. Each black belt degree requires two-to-six years of training in between each level. The Okinawan ShorinRyu Karate Dojo offer classes to children and adults 4 years of age and up. The dojo is located at 2588 State Route 718, Troy. The phone number is 339-4646.

County can’t afford HD scoreboard CINCINNATI (AP) — Officials in Hamilton County say it doesn’t have the $10 million needed to buy a highdefinition scoreboard due under the Cincinnati Bengals’ stadium lease with the county. Bengals director of business development Bob Bedinghaus tells The Cincinnati Enquirer it’s time to consider the issue. But the team hasn’t requested it yet and acknowledges county budget concerns. The Bengals’ lease calls for taxpayers to fund new technology requested by the team for county-owned Paul Brown Stadium if at least 14 other NFL stadiums have the same technology. The Enquirer reports 21 teams have highdefinition scoreboards, and more are getting them. Commissioners say the county can’t afford that price tag this year, but the project might be feasible under an extended timetable or if the Bengals cover part of the cost.

in the best way possible. Troy gets a week off before its next test, also — which is a big one. The Trojans travel to Cassel Hills to face GWOC North rival Butler. “This was a nice win for us in the North, but we’ve got another big one next week,” Troy girls golf coach Tom Mercer said. ”We had a nice effort at the preseason GWOC, too, that put us in a good position going into our dual matches. If we concentrate on the things we need to do, we can put ourselves in even better position.” Elsass-Smith and McKinney each shot 41 Wednesday to lead the way. Caitlin Dowling added a 43 and Ali Helman shot 48 to cap off the scoring, while Victoria Ries shot 56 and LeeAnn Black shot 60. On Tuesday, Troy had lost by three strokes to Springboro, 172-175, at Miami Shores. “I thought the girls did a nice job today,” Mercer said. “It’s a tough course and there was some tough pin placement. The girls played really well. “Last night we shot 175 at Shores. A 173 at the Country Club is a great score any day. The girls just keep improving every day. We’re trying to change some things that some of them are doing, and the girls are all working very hard. I couldn’t be happier with them.” The other two GWOC North teams were in action Wednesday, as well, as the Aviators knocked off Piqua 211245 at Echo Hills.

Murray’s senior season continued to be one to remember. After her 3-under-par round on Wednesday, Murray is now 1-under for the season after playing 108 holes. Tippecanoe returns to action Monday at Urbana. • Boys Milton-Union 175, Newton 187 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union’s Josh Martin and Newton’s Brock Jamison were

both under 40 and tied for medalist honors Wednesday, but the Bulldogs’ supporting cast had the better overall day in a 175-187 victory over the Indians at Homestead Golf Course. Martin shot a 39 to lead the Bulldogs, still unbeaten at 3-0. Joey Smedley followed with a 41, Sean Lorton shot a 47, Jake Stefano added a 48, Jack Blevins shot 50 and Zach Glodrey shot 59. Jamison’s 39 led the Indians, as well. Wade Ferrell shot 48, Reid Ferrell shot 49, Dominic Oscoela shot 51 and Christian Nelson and Milan Bess both shot 53.

Cincinnati Reds left fielder Chris Heisey, left, hits an RBI double off Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon McCarthy in the third inning during a baseball game, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013, in Cincinnati.

Reds hang on, beat Diamondbacks CINCINNATI (AP) — Shin-Soo Choo went 4 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs to spark Cincinnati’s offensive outburst in a 10-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday. The Reds opened up a six-game lead over Arizona in the race for the National League’s second wild-card spot. Cincinnati remained third in the NL Central, but moved to 2½ games behind

first-place Pittsburgh, which lost at San Diego. Mike Leake allowed four runs in the fifth inning, but was dominant in his other five innings for first win in his past five starts. Leake (11-5) allowed six hits and four runs with no walks and three strikeouts while the Reds were building an 8-0 lead.

said. “We’re not worried about defending it. We want to go out and win it. It’s not about what we did last year, because that’s over. We’re focused on what we have to do today and tomorrow. “Obviously, we want to win the GWOC North again. But one of our tougher goals is to see how high up in the overall GWOC we can finish. We were fourth last year by a point to Lebanon — and they had a girl that won state. Centerville and Beavercreek both went to state. Finishing fourth with that group was quite a feat, and the girls want to meet that again this year. But it’s going to be tough.” All of Troy’s returning talent and experience will help, though. Seniors Katie-Grace Sawka, Courtney Burgasser, Ellie Walters and Jena Stewart, juniors Cristina Dennison, Megan Falknor, Natalie Snyder and Lindsay Smith and sophomore Rachel Davidson — who had plenty of impressive finishes as a freshman last season — all return to make up the Trojan pack. And Alexander knows that, on any given week, any of them can lead the team. “We don’t have a set lineup, who will always be No. 1, 2, 3, so on. Our No. 5 one week could be our No. 2 the next, that’s how closely-bunched together they are” Alexander said. “It helps in practice, too. The girls know who they should be running with, and if one girls is having an off day they know to pick each other up. “We can’t have a weak spot. We have to do it together.”

Troy opens the season under the lights Friday night, running at the Moeller Primetime Invitational at Kings Island. • Miami East A Cross County Conference title. A Division III regional berth. It was indeed a historical season for the Miami East girls last season. “Last season, these girls accomplished more than any other girls team in school history – league champions, third place at district and qualifying for regional,” Miami East coach Alan Russell said. “However, I truly feel that we can be even stronger this season.” And this year, several of those girls will be back for more. Aside from losing Meredith Wesco – the CCC champ in 2012 — the Vikings return Abigael Amheiser, Erin Augustus, Abby Hawkins and Sami Sands. “She (Wesco) is an irreplaceable talent in many ways,” Russell said. “The rest of the top five return this year – Amheiser, Augustus, Hawkins and Sands. These four girls already look strong for the upcoming season.” Marie Ewing – who won the junior high CCC title last year – will be the new addition that could put the team over the edge. “Our top four will be joined by an incoming freshman class that placed second at the junior league race a season ago, and had many first-place finishes at invitationals,” Russell said. “These girls too look incredibly strong.” • Milton-Union

Troy’s Rachel Davidson is one of a host of returning varsity runners this season.

Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith is hoping for big improvement this season. And with three returning varsity runners, the Bulldogs appear to be headed in the right direction. Katie Litton, Grace Warner and Haley Cloud return for Milton, with a group of newcomers that Meredith hopes can make a difference. Haly Bohse, Lauren Meredith, Kina Rohr and Liz Renner will also be featured on varsity. “We will be much improved,” Meredith said. “We are young and not seasoned in big race experience, but should gain that as the season goes.”

• Covington Covington finished third in the Cross County Conference, fourth in the district and ninth in the regional last year — and returns plenty to help the Buccaneers compete this season. Returning letterwinners include Hannan Retz, Sara Ray, Cassidy Cain, Heidi Cron, Carly Shell, Megahan Parker and Julianna Yingst. The new runners include Haley Adams, Briana Grilliot, Allison Babylon, Anna Dunn, Kailyn Pond and Kara Schaffer. “The girls will be led by Carly Shell, Hannah Retz, Julianna Yingst, Cass Cain, Heidi Cron and Anna Dunn,” Covington coach Josh Long said. “The girls have worked hard this summer and are looking forward to the start of the season. The league will be strong this year. We should be in the mix to compete for the league title with several other teams.” • Troy Christian Only one of Troy Christian’s runners has much experience heading into this season, but the Eagles are hoping to build for the future. Cassandra Mendez returns with three years of experience, while the Eagles’ lead runner will be Megan Fletcher, a freshman running cross country for the first time. “Our girls should have competitive times, pushing each other to see who will have the best times from week to week,” Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel said.

vault during track season — juniors Josh Spayde, Dylan Magoto, sophomore Carsen Clouser and Alek Prus, who is expected to be out three to four weeks with a stress fracture. For now, though, Magoto and Bryce Meyer will enter the season in the sixth and seventh spots, respectively. Troy opens the season under the lights at the Moeller Primetime Invitational Friday night at Kings Island. The top seven runners will run the event at 9 p.m. at the Bruin XC Course. On Saturday, the additional Troy runners will compete at the Bob Schul Invitational in West Milton. • Milton-Union Winning the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division is always expected at Milton-Union. This year is no different. Regional qualifier Kyle Swartz is back, along with Zach Pricer, River Spicer, Ridge Spicer and Eric Swartz. Mix in talent from the junior high program, and the Bulldogs look set to defend their league title once

again. “We are young, but are going to race like we are more experienced,” Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith said. “With some real talent coming up from the junior high program, we should be a well-rounded team. The dogs should have a real nice pack.” • Miami East Miami East lost two key seniors from last season in Danny O’Malley and Seth Pemberton. But several runners return this season, including senior Josh Ewing, who had many top ten finishes in 2012. “Danny and Seth were big parts of our team,” Miami East coach Alan Russell said. “However, the core of last year’s team is back this year. Last year, our strength was in our pack time. We have that pack back this year. I am hoping and believing that the pack will move forward in many races, leading to some great successes this season.” In all, Miami East has six letterwinners returning – and Russell

said he expects Ewing to have an even bigger senior season. With the core East has returning, and the six newcomers on the team, Russell said he sees a lot of potential. “We will be adding six newcomers to the team, either freshmen or upper classmen joining for the first time,” Russell said. “I see a lot of potential in these guys. “I think we will have a successful season. If these guys stay focused and work hard, I really think we can surprise some teams.” • Covington Covington returns after a Cross County Conference championship season in which it also was fourth at the district and eighth at regional. Returning letterwinners include Nate Dunn, Jared Hagan, Daniel Jennings, Alex Schilling, Steve Shane, Jese Shell, Sam Sherman, Nick Tobias and Lane White. The new runners included Seth Canan, Ryan Hembree, Tyler Henry, Trevor Miller, Josh Sowers, Cale Wagner and Jason Welker. “The boys will be led by the quar-

tet of Lane White, Alex Schilling, Nate Dunn and Sam Sherman,” Long said. “We will have several boys that will be competing for our last three varsity spots, which will make us better as the season progresses. Our season will be a work in progress, but if we continue to work hard, we have the potential to surprise some people this fall. Our league will be very competitive this year and we should be in the mix again, with several other teams.” • Troy Christian The Eagles will not have a full team this season, but they are bringing back a pair of talented runners. Sophomore Zac Garver — who ran a 4:35 in the 1,600 during track season as a freshman — will run cross country for the first time, while senior Blake Klingler will look to finish his high school career strong. “We are short in numbers this year and will not have a scoring team, but I am hopeful for some great individual efforts,” Troy Christian coach Jeff McDaniel said.
