District step closer to facilities decision The Tipp City Schools district could be one step closer to choosing a final design for renovating and constructing new schools.

The facilities planning committee held a public meeting Nov. 19 at L.T. Ball Intermediate School.

After weighing the pros and cons of each design, Option A was the clear favorite among voters, which included district staff and administrators.

Election board opens, accepts provisional ballots Will E Sanders

Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Officials with the Miami County Board of Elections opened and accepted provisional ballots cast in the election earlier this month during an emergency meeting Wednesday morning.

Of 73 provisional ballots cast the board accepted 58 of them at the meeting, said Drew Higgins, board of elections director.

He said the provisional ballots that were not accepted were disquali-

fied for a number of reasons.

“They ran the whole gamut,” Higgins said.

“Some had their registration canceled, invalid applications, no signatures or a voter that wasn’t registered.”

Under state law, provisional ballots can not be opened and tabulated until 10 days have passed from the day of the election.

The acceptance of the provisional ballots put to rest the lingering question of whether or not a Fletcher street levy passed or failed. Once

provisional ballots were tallied that issue lost by a total of two votes, so no mandatory recount will be performed. In the state of Ohio a recount is mandatory if the difference in votes is one half of 1 percent.

However, should the village of Fletcher request a recount, one will be performed, but the village would need to pay for it.

Now the board plans on certifying the election results at their upcoming monthly meeting Friday, which could be interesting due to a tied race for the third seat

of the Bradford Board of Election. The winner of that race is still not known.

Carolyn Smith and Stanley Roberts Jr. are vying for that seat, but as it stands now the two are tied.

Due to Bradford’s geographic location, voters from Miami, Darke and Shelby counties voted in the election for that race and results had to be compiled from each county, Higgins said.

As it stands right now, the race is a tie, and will remain that way, unless provisional ballots from

Darke County change the vote total. Provisional ballots cast in Darke County are expected to be opened and accepted today.

If a tie remains after that both candidates will be asked to meet one another at the board of election office at 2 p.m.

Friday when the winner will be decided by either casting lots or through a coin flip, which is how ties are settled in accordance with state election law.

This year’s general election had a voter turnout of 20.7 percent.

TIPP CITY — A Tipp City man was one of eight indicted for sexual exploitation of children charges across state lines on Nov. 8.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth Allen Polite Jr. announced that Foster, 44, was charged with distribution and receipt of child pornography, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and a maximum sentence of 20 years. The indictment alleged that he “did knowingly distribute/recieve, and attempt to distribute/receive, visual depictions … that had been mailed, shipped and transported in intersate and foreign commerce, by any means, including by computer.”

The visual depictions were alleged to have involved the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

The document stated that Foster had engaged in such acts within the eastern district of Lousiana and elsewhere from between or about June 14, 2012, to Feb. 22, 2013.

In a recent television interview, Foster declared that he was embarassed and sorry for looking at the websites that he did, but that he quit when he found out they weren’t legal. Foster said the courts had “gone overboard” because he didn’t try to sell pornography and has not “done things with little kids.”

Polite said a federal Grand Jury also handed down indictments for: Daniel Devor, 39, of Brunswick, Ga.; Aung (Michael) Gaw, 25, of Fremont, Ca.; Sean Jabbar, 32, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Christopher Jamieson, 30, of Douglasville, Ga.; Andrew Korpal, 29, of Granger, Ind.; Nicholas Saine, 27, of Seattle, Wash.; and Stanley Zdon III, 27, of Tuckerton, N.J.

for support of the levy.

The board approved to purchase two new school buses for the district. The 72-passenger buses were purchased from Cardinal Bus Sales for $178,928.

B oard members reviewed several board policy changes including: executive session, special use of school buses, professional staff contracts and compensation plans for administrators, cocurricular and extracurricular activities, interscholastic extracurricular eligibility, promotion and retention of students, early entrance to kindergarten, admission of students from non-chartered or home schooling, student fee, fines and charges and positive behavioral interventions and supports in regards to restraint and seclusion.

Board members Doug Trostle and Stephen Lucas were not present at the meeting.

“It was like ‘Hey, who wants to come over and do some stuff?’” Moeller said of the GOTR weekend. “We made some really great music happen that weekend.”

Moeller said its rare for him to travel on site and artists such as Sheryl Crow and other recording artists usually meet them at their studios located in London, Nashville, Rock Island, Ill., and various other places.

“It’s rare for us to go on site like that but we went to the Dixon, Ill. GOTR stop and knew we wanted to meet up like that again,” Moeller said.

Moeller commented on the generosity of Troy City School’s Superintendent Eric Herman for allowing them to set up their weekend studio.

“Eric was so kind to allow us to open up the school for us,” Moeller said, noting that Herman stayed to hear the recording of Marcus Mumford and Alex Ebert of the Edward Sharpe and the magnetic Zeros perform Neil Young and Provided photo Bob Dylan cover songs.

The website Daytrotter.com recently posted a video of Marcus Mumford and Justin Hayward-Young of their performance “I think it’s really cool that kids that at the high school singing “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright,” which was recorded on Aug. 30 at Troy High School’s auditogo to Troy can say we had these great rium. artists on our stage,” Moeller said.

Food From page 1 corporate sponsors Dayton Power & Light Company, Utility Workers Union of America, Huntington Bank, Kettering Health Network and Morris Home Furnishings.

Area Huntington Bank locations have food barrels and accept monetary donations for the Food For Friends campaign, while barrels can also be found at Kettering Health Network hospitals and Morris Home Furnishings locations.

In 32 years, the Food For Friends campaign, which started at the beginning of last week and runs through Dec. 24, has collected more than 12.5 million food items and distributed them to needy families through The Foodbank (Dayton) and other food pantries throughout the

region.

“WDTN is committed to helping fight hunger and help families in need in the Miami Valley,” said Joe Abouzeid, WDTN-TV president and general manager, in a press release. “It’s our mission as a television station to give back whenever possible and we are pleased to continue our support for this important campaign.”

“Kroger has been involved with it since the beginning,” said Jennifer Lien, a customer communications specialist at Kroger for the Cincinnati/Dayton Division. “We’ve been really successful at raising money.

Customers and associates are so generous; they really support the program, and it continues to get bigger each year.”

The Troy Kroger is helping fight hunger in a variety of other ways, as well, this holiday season.

The Shared Harvest Foodbank is the beneficiary of two operations ran out of the Troy Kroger.

Shared Harvest gets the food collected in the Food For Friends barrels and also reaps the benefits of the Check-Out Hunger program, which allows customers to purchase coupons from the check-out lane in denominations of $1, $3 and $5. Donating just $1 can provide up to eight meals for families in need, while $5 donations could provide up to 40 meals.

According to Lien, last year the stores raised $19, 972 through the Check-Out Hunger program, while the barrels in

the area collected 6,903 pounds, which equates to 5,522 meals.

“Customers want the food they donate to stay in community, because they know it’s literally going toward helping out neighbors,” Lien said.

The Troy location also takes part in the Kroger Coin Box Campaign, with the funds raised going to The Foodbank. Last year, the area Kroger stores that took part in the Coin Box Campaign collected $28,300.51, which The Foodbank converted into 226,400 meals, according to Lien.

People who wish to donate food can find more information and convenient locations at wdtn.com.

Jamieson, Korpal, Saine and Zdon were all charged with receipt of child pornography. Polite detailed that in addition, each defendant will be placed on a term of supervised release after imprisonment for a minimum of five years up to life.

If convicted, each defendant will have to register as a sex offender.

“These indictments represent a strong coordinated strike — by Homeland Security, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and several U. S.

Attorney’s Offices around the country — against child pornography and those who allegedly seek to harm our most vulnerable citizens, our young children,” Polite said.

Polite reiterated that the indictment is merely a charge and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

“Child sexual predators cause significant harm to our society by inflicting horrific abuse on innocent children,” said Homeland Security

Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.

Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, visit www. projectsafechildhood.gov.

This case is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security-Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. The prosecution of this case is being handled by Strike Force Chief and Project Safe Childhood Coordinator, Assistant U. S. Attorney Brian M. Klebba.

Parmer oversees a five-state region including Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.

“Postal Inspectors investigate a wide variety of crime in our mission to protect the integrity of the U.S. Mail, but sexual exploitation of children is particularly heinous,” said U.S. Postal Inspection Service Inspector in Charge Robert Wemyss. “When these predators use a combination of mail and the Internet, we appreciate partnering with other law enforcement partners such as HSI to ensure no aspect of their crimes escape justice.”

The Times Union of Albany on a proposal to tax online purchases of digital books, videos and music in New York.

It’s not often that one can say that there’s a tax that’s good for business without listeners waiting for a punch line. But seriously, there is a tax that actually would help out businesses in New York.

Call it the iTax — for Internet tax.

For all its conveniences, Internet commerce is hurting traditional retail businesses, from booksellers that are losing traffic to the Web giants like Amazon to tech, clothing and other sorts of shops where customers browse without buying, scoping out merchandise that they plan to buy online. There’s a term for it — “showrooming,” or using brick-and-mortar stores as a kind of showroom for online retailers.

The stores pay the rent and other overhead; the online companies, wherever they are, reap the sales.

At least some of the reason for shoppers’ enthusiasm for online buying is the fact that often they don’t have to pay sales tax, an incentive so irresistible that even if a store’s price is competitive, some shoppers will buy online whether it saves money or not.

Unless you’re an online merchandiser, this is bad for business. It’sAs bad Ifor communities and downtowns when those brick-and-mortar shops can’tSee survive.

The Daily Sentinel, Nov. 17, on ski area water rights: Good news from the U.S. Forest Service last week: The agency announced it no longer plans to demand that ski areas give up a portion of their water rights in exchange for the renewal of their permits to operate on federal lands.

Better news out of Congress last week: A bill by two Colorado congressmen that would prohibit the Forest Service or other federal agencies from trying to implement such a policy against ski areas or other water-rights holders in the future passed out of committee. The Water Rights Protection Act, sponsored by Republican Scott Tipton and Democrat Jared Polis, now goes to the House floor for a vote.

We have joined many others in arguing that the Forest Service policy on ski area water was inappropriate and an unnecessary intrusion of federal authority into what has historically been a state purview in managing water rights.

The fact that the Forest Service claimed it was demanding the rights to ski area water because it feared the water might be sold off was always a nonsensical argument. Ski areas that need water to make snow and enhance their business aren’t likely to sell off the water necessary for snow making. But even if they chose to do so, it is their right under Colorado law, and the water would be available for some other individual.

The water does not belong to the federal government, much to the chagrin of some folks in Washington who have long believed it should.

XXXXX Sometimes, XXXXXa picture is worth a thousand (swear) words There are some days I always looked forward to in school — salisbury steak day in the cafeteria, field trip days and, of course, snow days.

The flip side, however, is there also were days I always dreaded in school — National Presidential Physical Fitness Test chin-up day, math test day and, of course, school picture day.

I imagine there are plenty of kids out there who enjoy picture day.

There are thousands of you out there who were beautiful children with glowing eyes and rosy cheeks who spent the morning fixing your hair just right and making sure you had the perfect outfit to wear that day.

I was a goofy-looking kid with an awkward smile and a bowl cut that my mom trimmed up the night before picture day by slapping a piece of masking tape across my bangs and cutting straight across the line. (As opposed to now — I am a goofy-looking adult with an awkward smile … but at least I don’t let my mom cut my hair anymore).

I wonder how long before we have to schedule retakes …

This is now after 7 a.m. and five of the children left for school. Elizabeth left around 5 a.m. to go hunting with Timothy.

Meanwhile, I need to go to town this morning as I’m running short on a lot of things. We would like to go to two different viewings tonight if possible. Our sympathy goes to the Amos Eicher family of Shipshewana, Indiana. Amos and Dad are first cousins and he passed on Wednesday.

Sympathy also goes to Dan and Irene as they mourn the loss of Irene’s

father. Losing a parent is never easy but God helps us through the hard times if we put our trust in “Him.” This week we have been getting some sewing done. I was mostly doing mending. Those rips and tears add up fast if I leave it go for several weeks. Susan was sewing together pillow tops. We want to make pillows to fill some orders and for gifts. Verena was working on plastic canvas-making name hangers for gifts and orders. She is getting faster at it. Daughter Elizabeth is teaching her and also Loretta and Lovina. Kevin wanted to try it too and went in Elizabeth’s bedroom, found the piece she was working on. Needless to say she had to redo all he tried to do. Kevin will sit for hours writing.

Sometimes it’s his own story and sometimes it’s a book he copied. He is happy if he has a writing tablet and pencil.

Congress honors American Indian code talkers

WASHINGTON (AP) — For decades, the wartime service of 96-year-old Edmond Harjo and other American Indian “code talkers” was something that wasn’t even officially acknowledged, let alone publically recognized.

But on Wednesday, Harjo sat in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall soaking in a standing ovation from hundreds of people — after an introduction from House Speaker John Boehner.

Harjo, a member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, is one of the last surviving members of a group of American Indians who used their native language to outwit the enemy and protect U.S. battlefield communications during World Wars I and II. In a ceremony Wednesday, congressional leaders formally awarded the Funeral Directory Congressional Gold Medal to American Indians known as code talkers honoring • Sampson the service of 33 tribes.

COVINGTON — James Allen Sampson, 72, of From his seat, Lyle Cook watched Covington, died Thursday, November 14, 2013, in the applause for Harjo and a procession Apache Junction, Arizona. Services Pending. of speeches proudly, with a lump in his Arrangements in care of Jackson-Sarver Funeral throat.

Home, Covington.

Cook is a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux in South Dakota. He said all he could think about were members of his tribe who served in World Wars I and II but didn’t live to receive the formal

recognition that has been more than 70 years in coming.

“It is wonderful, but it is a bittersweet moment,” said Cook, 52, an Army veteran. “I wish they were here.”

Code talkers were represented Wednesday by tribal delegations, many in traditional dress, who packed Emancipation Hall. They represented 33 tribes from states including Arizona, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Members of American Indian tribes heroically exchanged sensitive military information by speaking to each other in their native tongues on the battlefield, eluding enemies trying to break U.S. military codes and dramatically speeding up the military’s ability to communicate.

Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., said the critical World War II battle of Iwo Jima would have been a far longer, and bloodier, engagement had it not been for the composed work of American Indians during the conflict.

“Over 800 battle field communications went out with perfect accuracy,” Kind said of Iwo Jima. “It led to a quicker end to that conflict and it saved lives.”

Their distinctive work during both

world wars went unrecognized for decades in part because the military, which wanted to maintain its advantage, only declassified the program in 1968.

Since then, formal recognition of the program’s importance has come slowly.

Congress awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to Navajo code talkers in 2000, then recognized others in 2008.

But lawmakers from South Dakota, Oklahoma and other states have long pressed for more tribes to be formally recognized for their wartime contributions.

Speaking Wednesday, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., said he’d spent more than 10 years pursuing more acknowledgment and was grateful to finally bring attention to groups that have studiously avoided publicity.

“These men did not seek the limelight,” Johnson said. “And there is no question that their contributions were unparalleled.”

One by one on Wednesday, members of Congress came to the stage to praise the bravery of the code talkers, some as young as 15 years old, who volunteered to serve on battlefields in Europe and Asia. They credited them with saving thousands of lives, and praised their abiding sense of patriotism.

Likewise, all cemetery rates “for purchase of graves, burials, foundations and related items or services” will remain the same as the published 2013 rates. The board also passed amended policies regarding indigent burials at township cemeteries, per the Ohio Revised Code.

In other action, the board authorized attendance at the Ohio Township Association Winter Conference February 12-14, 2014 in Columbus for the three township trustees and the township fiscal officer, and set the year-end township meeting for 9 a.m. Dec. 31.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “Finally at Peace,” who has endured three of her five children cutting off contact with her.

It gives my husband and me hope and comfort. We are experiencing rejection from our oldest daughter, who has cut off contact except to send birth announcements of her children.

We will be grandparents again because of our youngest daughter, who makes up for, over and above, what we are living without. But I am comforted from your writer’s sage advice on coming to peace with the situation and knowing that other factors helped shape our older girl.

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Nov. 21, 2013: This year, you will be serious and determined about your direction and the choices you make. You draw people from various walks of life toward you. If you are single, you could meet several different people. Enjoy dating. You will know when someone is right for you. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy each other so much that you won’t need anyone else to have a party. Use care with money, as you often are extravagant.

CANCER sometimes rains on your parade.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You will feel as if you are on an emotional seesaw. You could be feeling a lot about someone close. You might be weighing the pros and cons of a change involving property and perhaps family. Irritation could bubble up at the slightest provocation. Tonight: Stay centered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Do not stand on ceremony. You might want to make a call or reach out to someone who has become distant. Your temper soars, as you seem to keep hitting a brick wall. Relax, and take a walk to get some fresh air. Be more hospitable and open.

Tonight: Get together with a friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You’ll want to indulge

others as well as yourself.

You can’t seem to decide what would be more fun and memorable. Trust yourself to choose the right event or happening. At times, you give in to excess. Be careful -- a family member could be jealous. Tonight: Go with the flow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You might sense a change in others. What has been held back in the past, or perhaps even today, could become a fiery issue. Don’t worry; it can be resolved. You seem to know exactly what to do and when to do it. Follow your own advice. Tonight: Make an important phone call.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Take your time right now, and be slightly less accountable. You are full of enthusiasm for a new friendship. Try to lighten up about a domestic situation or investment. If you are not sure, wait before engaging in a conversation or taking action.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Keep your eye on the big picture, and proceed in the direction you want to head in.

You might feel as if you can’t handle a personal matter, and you could become angry if you are pushed. Excuse yourself rather than explode.

Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Listen to news that is forthcoming. You might want to assume a less-prominent

position in a project once you hear it. Someone in your daily life might become a burden to you. You need to express your feelings before anger builds.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH If you are questioning what to do, detach. Allow your feelings and instincts to guide you, as they are likely to lead you in the right direction.

Recognize when you are feeling triggered. At that point, your best bet is to do nothing. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Someone close to you will demand the stage. You might as well retreat rather than fight for the podium. If you start to feel down, indulge a little. You might want to buy a new item for winter or perhaps a gift for a loved one.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will see a situation differently from how the majority of people around you see it. As a result, you might proceed as you wish and not bother to explain why. You will note that several people give you the benefit of the doubt.

Keep them around. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Focus on completing your work or errands. You will want to be free and relaxed for the coming weekend. A partner expects a lot. In a

sense, you feel driven by this person. Be aware if you are giving too much, as you could become resentful. Tonight: Get ready for a hot tango.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If you are honest with yourself, your mind seems to be everywhere all at once.

Your self-discipline seems to be on vacation. If you can enjoy these flights of fancy, do. A close friend suddenly might become angry. This person wants more attention!

Tonight: Keep it light.

Ballooning animal controversies mar Macy’s parade NEW YORK (AP) — Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is awash in animal-related protests over its floats, with controversies involving the unlikely pairing of rocker Joan Jett and Shamu the killer whale.

Activists plan to line the route of next week’s parade to protest a SeaWorld float over accusations in a new documentary that the theme parks treat whales badly. And ranchers succeeded in getting Jett pulled off the South Dakota tourism float after they questioned why the vegetarian and animal-rights ally was representing their beef-loving state.

The float flaps threaten to shake Macy’s traditional position of staying out of politics and soaring silently above the fray, like the massive balloons of Snoopy, Kermit the Frog and SpongeBob SquarePants.

“The parade has never taken

on, promoted or otherwise engaged in social commentary, political debate or other forms of advocacy,” Cincinnati-based Macy’s Inc. said in a statement this week.

It was in that spirit that parade executive producer Amy Kule said Tuesday that the SeaWorld float is staying.

“There is no controversy,” she said. “Our goal is to entertain, and that is their goal, as well.”

The SeaWorld float, which depicts rolling waves, tropical fish, penguins and Shamu, comes months after the release of the documentary “Blackfish,” which contends that SeaWorld’s poor treatment of its killer whales contributed to the aggression of a whale involved in a trainer’s death.

SeaWorld says the accusations have “absolutely no basis” and that “the men and women

who care for these animals at SeaWorld are dedicated in every respect to their health and well-being.”

Activists, including members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, say they plan to stage a protest somewhere along the route during next week’s parade. And the group says it has sent Macy’s more than 80,000 emails from animal lovers demanding that the store drop the float.

Among those joining were actor Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, who wrote last week that SeaWorld was a “cruel prison for whales” and that the parks “should not be celebrated with a giant Shamu float parading down 34th Street.”

Kenneth Sherrill, professor emeritus of political science at Manhattan’s Hunter College and a longtime parade watcher,

says the SeaWorld controversy puts Macy’s in a tough spot.

“It’s damned if they do, damned if they don’t,” Sherrill said. “Macy’s is making a statement. If there’s a political conflict, saying ‘I’m not getting involved’ means you’re supporting the status quo.”

PETA also is connected to the float controversy involving Jett, an animal-rights vegetarian who works with the organization.

She was scheduled to sing atop South Dakota’s tourism float until an outcry from the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, which said it made no sense to feature an artist who is critical of the state’s top economic sector.

Macy’s found a solution: The “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” singer and her Blackhearts band are being moved to a different float as yet to be announced.

A parade spokesman said it made the move so attention isn’t diverted from the “entertainment mission” of the event, which also features Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Fallon, the Radio City Rockettes and the cast members of the reality show “Duck Dynasty.”

The parade has gone on through previous controversies.

In 2011, Tim Burton’s “B. Boy” balloon took flight despite critics labeling it “creepy” for its depiction of a snaggletoothed boy made out of old party balloons.

And last year, Elmo’s appearance followed sexual abuse charges against longtime puppeteer Kevin Clash, whose recorded voice was heard on a float. That parade also included confetti made from shredded New York City police documents.

Study ties nuts to lower cancer, heart death risk

DALLAS (AP) — Help yourself to some nuts this holiday season: Regular nut eaters were less likely to die of cancer or heart disease — in fact, were less likely to die of any cause — during a 30-year Harvard study.

Nuts have long been called heart-healthy, and the study is the largest ever done on whether eating them affects mortality.

Researchers tracked 119,000 men and women and found that those who ate nuts roughly every day were 20 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who never ate nuts. Eating nuts less often also appeared to lower the death risk, in direct proportion to consumption.

The risk of dying of heart disease dropped 29 percent and the risk of dying of cancer fell 11 percent among those who had nuts seven or more times a week compared with people who never ate them.

The benefits were seen from peanuts as well as from pistachios, almonds, walnuts and other tree nuts. The researchers did not look at how the nuts were prepared — oiled or salted, raw or roasted.

A bonus: Nut eaters stayed slimmer.

“There’s a general perception that if you eat more nuts you’re going to get fat. Our results show the opposite,” said Dr. Ying Bao of Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

She led the study, published in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. The National Institutes of Health and the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation sponsored the study, but the nut group had no role in designing it AP Photo or reporting the results.

Observational studies like this one can’t prove cause and effect, only suggest a connection. Research on diets is especially tough, because it can be difficult to single out the effects of any one food.

People who eat more nuts may eat them on salads, for example, and some of the benefit may come from the leafy greens, said Dr. Robert Eckel, a University of Colorado cardiologist and former president of the American Heart Association.

TROY —Last season, Troy couldn’t find a way to make all of its talent fit together.

This season, first-year coach Phillip Noll has some good building blocks to begin working on the puzzle.

A trio of seniors — including goaltender Eric Wright — and a core group of young players that Noll has coached at all levels will look to improve upon Troy’s disappointing year last season, with the main focus being competing each time they hit the ice.

“Last year, we were a little over .500, finished third in the SWOHSHL (Southwest Ohio High School Hockey League) and lost in the first round of

the league tournament,” Noll said. “We had a lot of talent, probably one of the most talented teams we’ve had at the school. But it just didn’t click.

“This year, we have three seniors returning from that team/ We’re a very young team. We’re going to play one game at a time, continue to play hard every night and leave it all on the ice.”

Having a veteran goalie in the net will likely help plenty, too.

“Eric’s been our best player in the preseason,” Noll said of Wright. “He’s had some amazing stops and some poke checks that would make NHL goaltenders proud. He’s a big boy, too, at 6-foot-3, probably 250. He’s pretty See TOGETHER | 12

Tippecanoe’s Tyler Hunter sacks the Kenton Ridge quarterback during a regular season game this year.

Hunter’s big plays on defense helped seal the Red Devils’ win over Thurgood Marshall and put them in the Division III, Region 10 title game Friday.

Wrong place, right time

Hunter’s heads-up play helped put Tipp in regional final Josh Brown

Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

TIPP CITY — Tyler Hunter shouldn’t have even been on the field.

“Nope, I wasn’t supposed to be,” the Tippecanoe senior defensive lineman said. “We thought they would go for it on fourth down, so we stayed in.”

Wrong place, maybe, but it couldn’t have been a better time for the Red Devils.

With Thurgood Marshall trailing by only one touchdown with less than six minutes to go in the third quarter, Hunter blocked a Cougar punt at midfield, a play that eventually led to Taylor Clark’s third field goal of the game — the one that solidified Tippecanoe’s lead for good in a 30-13 victory that propelled the Devils into Friday’s Division III, Region 10 championship game against TrotwoodMadison.

Thurgood Marshall had cut the Tippecanoe (12-0)

lead to one touchdown at 20-13, and after the Cougar defense held they began moving the ball again, looking to tie the score in the fourth quarter. But Hunter broke through the line on second down and sacked the Cougar quarterback, and after an incompletion Thurgood faced fourthand-13.

“They were in a position where we thought it would be necessary for them to go for it,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said.

“They were in four-down territory, we were up one score. We thought they would have to go for it.”

It was something the Devils were ready for.

“We prepared all week like they would go for it on fourth down a lot,” Tippecanoe defensive coordinator Joel Derge said. “They were at a point on the field where we thought they’d go, and they hadn’t punted all game to that point. So we left our first-team defense in instead of the punt team.”

“We rotate two other guys in on punts for Hunter and (Christian) Carlson, rusher Jack Peura and wall Garrett Raymond,” Burgbacher said. “But in all of those situations, we practice a few times a week with our lead group in, knowing that something like that can happen in a game very easily.”

And a Tippecanoe defense that had forced five fumbles to that point came up with one more big play, and Hunter slipped through the line and swatted the punt away.

“It just shows that our defense pays attention to everything,” Hunter said.

“We always do what we’re told in practice, and we get ready for anything.”

“If you look at it on film, someone just didn’t block long enough, and Tyler’s coming through,” Burgbacher said. “He got the opportunity to get his hands on the ball, and he took it.”

“Everyone has their See PLACE | 12

COLUMBUS (AP) — Amir Williams scored a career-high 16 points and Shannon Scott added 13 to lead No. 8 Ohio State to a 63-52 victory over American University on Wednesday night.

The Buckeyes (4-0) struggled all night to make shots, finishing 20 of 56 from the field for 36 percent.

Scott tied a career best with nine rebounds.

Jesse Reed scored 15 points, Tony Wroblicky had 14 and Darius Gardner 10 for the Eagles (1-2).

The Buckeyes were coming off an impressive 52-35 win over No. 17 Marquette in Milwaukee on Saturday. The 35 points were the fewest the Buckeyes have ever allowed against a ranked opponent.

Up by five points at the break Wednesday despite having difficulty making shots, the Buckeyes stepped it up in the second half.

Scott got things going with a steal and a layup in the opening seconds.

Then Scott came off a pick by Williams and tossed an alley-oop pass back to Williams for a dunk to start a 5-0 run that pushed the lead to 10 points for the first time.

Lenzelle Smith Jr., starting his 79th consecutive game, hit a foul shot before Williams made a lefthanded hook for a 37-27 advantage.

The Eagles got it down to six points but Williams scored and then missed the accompanying free throw, and Craft popped in the follow.

The loudest roar of the night might have taken place when Scott stole the ball and then fed Sam Thompson for a high-flying dunk at the 12:51 mark.

But not until Smith hit a 3 with 3:22 left was it clear the Buckeyes were in command. That was part of a 9-0 run that pushed the lead to 16.

Ohio State improved to 19-3 against teams from the Patriot League.

American had played two games with almost identical scores, losing its opener at George Mason 63-60, then winning its home opener against Maryland-Baltimore County, 63-61, in overtime. The latter was first-year head coach Mike Brennan’s first win.

MJ’s long arms help Bengals stay in 1st CINCINNATI (AP) — Greg Little broke free of the coverage as he ran along the front of the end zone. All Cleveland quarterback Jason Campbell had to do was lob the ball his way.

Whap! It never got past the line of scrimmage. Another quarterback had failed to escape the long arms of the Bengals’ Michael Johnson.

Sean Kilpatrick scored a season-high 23 The 6-foot-7 defensive end points, and Justin Jackson had a career-high 19 on Wednesday night, helping Cincinnati stay has batted down five passes this season, according to unbeaten with an 81-62 victory over Campbell.

STATS, but none of his swats The Bearcats (4-0) never trailed, pulling has been more prominent than ahead by as many as 23 points while shooting the ones last Sunday during a 63 percent from the field.

See Page 12. 41-20 victory over Cleveland.

Kilpatrick scores 23 in Bearcats win

The Bengals (7-4) came away in control of the AFC North heading into their bye week.

Getting the ball past Johnson and 6-foot-6 Carlos Dunlap on the other end of Cincinnati’s line is a tall order.

“Sometimes you get it and a lot of times you don’t,” Johnson said. “The percentage is a lot lower of getting it than not getting it. Sometimes you can feel it grazing (a hand) and know you could have gotten a lot more on it.”

He’s gotten enough of them to make a difference.

Johnson’s total of five passes batted down at the line ranks

second in the NFL to Connor Barwin’s six for Philadelphia, according to STATS. The Bengals have batted down 10 overall, tied for sixth in the league.

That doesn’t include the number of passes redirected at the line. Johnson had both on Sunday.

The Browns had a chance to go up 7-0 when Little got open on a third-and-goal play.

Johnson got his left hand up at the last instant to bat down the pass and force a field goal. His back was to the receiver, so he didn’t realize he’d prevented a touchdown until he got to the

sideline.

“I came to the sideline and everybody was excited,” Johnson said. “I just thought it was a tipped pass. I didn’t know somebody was wide open. Just turned out like that.

We got each other’s back like that.”

He had a large hand in the Bengals’ first touchdown as well, slightly tipping Campbell’s pass late in the first quarter with the Browns up 13-0. The deflected throw went to linebacker James Harrison for an interception that set up Cincinnati’s first score in a 31-point second quarter.

Kilpatrick, UC rout Campbell

AP photo Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick goes up to dunk the ball during the first half against Campbell in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Sean Kilpatrick scored a season-high 23 points, and Justin Jackson had a career-high 19 on Wednesday night, helping Cincinnati stay unbeaten with an 81-62 victory over Campbell.

The Bearcats (4-0) never trailed, pulling ahead by as many as 23 points while shooting 63 percent from the field.

Kilpatrick steadied the offense, going 9 of 12 from the field. He also had the most impressive basket, banking the ball off the backboard as he fell in the second half.

Jackson dominated

inside, getting put-backs and bank shots. He had nine rebounds and five of Cincinnati’s eight blocks, coming up just short of his second career doubledouble.

The Fighting Camels (2-3) lost their third in a row. Andrew Ryan scored 17 points and Darius Leonard added 16. Campbell went 11 of 22 from behind the arc and shot 43 percent from the field overall against a defense that had limited its first three opponents to 33 percent.

The game was part of the Global Sports Shootout, a round-robin exempt tour-

nament played on campus sites.

The Fighting Camels scored only nine points in the second half of a 62-43 loss to North Carolina Central on Monday night, with their new spread offense breaking down.

They were much better at the outset Wednesday, matching that second-half total in the first four minutes. Leonard’s 3-pointer from the corner tied it 9-all.

Cincinnati started forcing turnovers with its half-court traps and taking advantage of its size on the front line. Kilpatrick hit a driving bank sot and

a 3-pointer during an 11-0 spurt.

Jackson set the tone defensively, blocking one of D.J. Mason’s shots so hard it shot off the backboard. The 6-foot8 forward had a pair of putbacks as the Bearcats pushed the lead to 17 points.

Jackson had 10 points, six rebounds and three of Cincinnati’s six blocked shots in the first half, which ended with the Bearcats up 42-29. Kilpatrick had a game-high 12 points in the half, making four of his five shots. His only miss — a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Place From page 11 assignments, and Tyler was one of the rushers,” Derge said.

“Tyler’s just a kid that always does what we ask of him, no matter what it is. That play really shifted the momentum of the game, too. We got great field position after the block, went down and scored.”

All told, the Thurgood Marshall offense — which came into the game averaging more than 40 points per game — was held in check by Tippecanoe’s defense.

“We came into the game pretty pumped up,” Hunter said.

“People had been talking about their offense all week, so we came in with a little chip on our

shoulder — and forced seven turnovers. The defense changed the game.”

Now the Red Devils face a team that hasn’t scored less than 40 points in its last eight games, the Trotwood Rams. Trotwood has been to the state title game each of the past three seasons and won it all two seasons ago.

In order for Tippecanoe to advance to the state semifinal round, they will need another clutch defensive performance.

“It (Thurgood Marshall) was a big win for us,” Hunter said.

“It was great that the defense stepped up like it did. We’ve just got to continue it this week.”

Tippecanoe’s Zach Salyer (20) recovers one of five fumbles the Red Devil defense forced against Thurgood Marshall in the regional semifinal round.

agile, and he has quick reflexes. All great things for a goalie to have.”

Troy’s other two seniors are forwards Mason Hagen and Eli Walters.

“Mason’s a second-year player and a solid offensive player,” Noll said. “He’s gonna do a lot of scoring for us this year. And Eli is more of a roleplayer, but he’s fast on his skates.”

Junior forward Alex Smith has led the team in scoring in the preseason, while junior captains Jake Uhlenbrock and Drew Morgan are the anchor on the defensive end.

“Alex will probably be our leading scorer this year,” Noll said. “And Jake and Drew are both good defensive players, and they understand the game well.”

Sophomore AJ Noll has added some punch on the offensive end, as well, and fellow sophomores Tyler Hess and Doug Eardley and first-year junior Isiaha Purves will help, also. And on defense, secondyear sophomore Troy Moore brings some experience back, with first-year junior Kasey Hennessy. Rounding out the roster is sophomore defenseman William Wilkerson and freshmen Caleb Mangas, Prestyn Hoefler, Charlie Ryan and Cory Neff.

“I’ve been coaching at Troy for the past 12 years, through the youth program on up at basically every level,” Noll said. “I learned a lot from (former coach) Larrell (Walters) as a varsity assistant last year.

I’ve coached these kids from when they were five years old, and I especially know the juniors and sophomores.

“We’ve been trying to give them some new offensive and defensive looks, some new ways of doing things that they haven’t seen yet. Assistant coach Terry Bricker played juniors and a little in Europe, and the players respect him.

We’ll tell them to do something, Terry will tell them why it worked for him, they’ll do it and they’ll see it work. We’ve tried some new things in the preseason, and the kids have had success doing it. Our challenge now is to get them to the point where they’re so comfortable doing it, it just flows naturally into the game.”

And playing in the SWOHSHL’s loaded North Division, they’ll be tested plenty this season.

“Centerville, Springboro and Troy will probably be the top three teams in the SWOHSHL, and we all play in the North,” Noll said. “We’ve seen Elder and St. Xavier in the preseason, too, and they’re okay. But Centerville and Springboro will be our toughest opponents in the league.”

Troy opens play this season at Findlay Friday night.
