Welbaum takes oath of office Longtime public servant now joins appeals court
Should winners’ names be kept secret?
BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@dailycall.com
TROY
Jeffrey Welbaum has served Miami County in numerous roles over the last three decades, from being a public defender and later a county prosecutor to being a common pleas court judge and appellate division attorney with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. On Friday, he officially began the next chapter of his public service and representation of Miami County. Before a packed courtroom consisting of approximately 200 guests, including family, friends, and co-workers past and present, Welbaum took his oath of office and was sworn in as the latest member of the Second District Court of Appeals.
When two winning tickets for a record $588 million Powerball jackpot were claimed from the Nov. 28 drawing, the world focused on the winners. A Missouri couple appeared at a press conference and held up the traditional giant-sized check. The Arizona winner, however, skipped the press conference where lottery officials announced last month that someone had claimed the second half of the prize. The differing approach to releasing information on the winners reflects a broader debate that is playing out in state Legislatures and lottery offices nationwide: Should the winners’ names be secret? See
Page 5.
“This is a happy day for me,” Welbaum said after taking the oath, which was given by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. “It’s such a wonderful experience.” Welbaum also said the diversity of his legal experience matches the diversity of the courts and laws reviewed by the appeals court, which evaluates the decisions of the 56 trial judges in the second district. Welbaum thanked those in attendance for supporting him. A reception was held afterward.

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com he Miami County Animal Shelter saw a boost in the number of dogs and cats adopted around Christmastime, with all 26 cats deemed adoptable finding owners and 30 dogs being adopted as well. “At Christmastime — the whole month of December, actually — we do really well. Especially the six to 10 days before,” said Director Marcia Doncaster. “Now that the holidays are over, if the pets are not spayed or neutered, please consider getting them spayed or neutered. And if you’ve adopted a dog, take time to get him oriented with your family.” Three dogs were returned in December prior to Christmas, though none after. Two dogs were returned when each didn’t get along with the respective owner’s current dog, while in the other case, the parents of the 18-year-old owner didn’t approve of the new pet. The overall average for adoption/return rate (strays returning to their owners) was 94 percent in 2012 and 85 percent in 2011. Doncaster attributed the rise in adoptions to improvements at the shelter that have made the dogs better behaved and more socialized, including the dog exercise area. The shelter also has increased visibility in the community by participating in events such as National Night Out and speaking at Concord Elementary

WINTER SAFETY TIPS FOR DOGS • Doghouses need not be very large, just enough for the dog to turn around. The reasonable size keeps heat contained. • Doghouses should have a four-sided roof and a covered floor made of straw or another similar material, not rugs or a material that absorbs water when it gets wet, making the dog cold. • Check water frequently to ensure it has not frozen. Provide plenty of dog food. • Do not leave a dog outside in single-digit temperatures or during a snowstorm. School, among other places. “We continue to try to market the dogs and make them more adoptable,” Doncaster said. Volunteers also play with the dogs and bathe
them. Interested individuals may pick up an application at the dog shelter at 1110 N. County Road 25-A. In the future she would also like to implement a program to train dogs to
walk with a leash without pulling and other basic skills, further boosting their adoptability. Visit www.co.miami.oh. us/shelter for more information on pets available for adoption.
Employers shrug off fears WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. job market proved resilient in December despite fears that a budget impasse in Washington would send the economy over the fiscal cliff and trigger growth-killing tax hikes and spending cuts. Employers added 155,000 jobs last month, roughly matching the solid but unspectacular monthly

Attorney General’s Office. In that position, he supervised 40 attorneys who were involved with capital litigation, special prosecution and Habeas Corpus cases, among others. “We are very fortunate to have him on the court of appeals,� DeWine told the crowd. “Having Jeff on the court of appeals is good for us, our state and our country.�

Congress OKs $9.7 billion in Sandy flood aid WASHINGTON (AP) The new Congress on Friday rushed out $9.7 billion to help pay flood insurance claims to 115,000 people and businesses afflicted by Superstorm Sandy, two days after New Jersey’s governor and other Republicans Northeast upbraided Speaker John Boehner for killing a broader package for state and local governments in the storm’s path. The bill replenishes the National Flood Insurance Program that was due to run out of money next week with the pending Sandyrelated claims as well as 5,000 unresolved claims from other floods. “It’s a small down payment on the larger aid we need,� said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The legislation cleared the Senate by a voice vote following passage by the House, 35467. The government already has spent about $2 billion on the emergency response to the late October storm, one of the worst ever in the Northeast. It slammed the Atlantic coastline from North Carolina to Maine, with the worst damage occurring in New York City and its suburbs, New Jersey and Connecticut. The storm is blamed for 140 deaths. Boehner has promised a vote Jan. 15 on a broader, $51 billion package of aid, which would bring the total to the more than $60 billion requested by President Barack Obama. Senate leaders have promised a
vote the following week. The Senate passed a $60.4 billion bill a week ago but House Republicans, complaining that it was laden with pork projects unrelated to the storm, cut it by more than half. Boehner canceled a New Year’s Day vote on it after nearly two-thirds of House Republicans voted against the “fiscal cliff� package of tax and spending increases. The White House praised Friday’s vote helping homeowners, renters and businesses, and urged Congress to act quickly on the remainder of Obama’s request. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued a joint statement also imploring Congress to move hastily on the rest of the money. “We are trusting Congress to act accordingly on January 15th,� they said. It was a more temperate response than was heard earlier in the week, when a livid Christie blistered House Republicans and Boehner himself for holding up the aid and other GOP figures from the region, as well as Democrats, cried “betrayal.� All of the “no� votes in the House were cast by Republicans, who said other government programs should have been cut to pay for the measure. As with past natural disasters, the Sandy aid proposals do not provide for offsetting spending cuts, meaning the aid comes at the cost of higher deficits.

A construction worker builds a metal scaffold at a new apartment building site in the Chinatown area of Los Angeles Friday. U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs in December, a steady gain that shows hiring held up during the tense negotiations to resolve the fiscal cliff.
Jobs • Continued from 1 pace of the past two years. The gains announced Friday weren’t enough to reduce unemployment, which remained a stillhigh 7.8 percent. The November rate was revised up a notch from the 7.7 percent the government had originally reported. The stable pace of December hiring suggested that many employers tuned out the fracas in the nation’s capital. The threat wasn’t averted until a deal won final passage on New Year’s Day. Rather than hold back until the fiscal cliff was resolved, many employers kept hiring, most likely in anticipation of higher customer demand. “What would hiring
have been if we had not been facing the fiscal cliff in December?� said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. “We might have seen quite a bit stronger job growth� something closer to 200,000 a month. That’s an encouraging sign for the job market, because an even bigger budget showdown is looming: Congress must vote to raise the government’s $16.4 trillion borrowing limit by late February. If not, the government risks defaulting on its debt. Republicans will likely demand deep spending cuts as the price of raising the debt limit. Robust hiring in construction and manufacturing drove last month’s job increases.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on new EPA rules As conservatives like to say, the Environmental Protection Agency and the rules it writes do no good for the nation and are instead a burden on economic recovery. Back in the real world, Americans can now take a deep breath of relief that the EPA is still in business. What business is that? It is the business of ensuring that the air we breathe does not corrupt our lungs and the water we drink is fresh and clear. As it happens, the EPA’s key role was underscored just this month. New EPA standards finalized on Dec. 14 target soot particles and force industry, utilities and local governments to reduce this harmful form of pollution which emanates from smokestacks, power plants, diesel exhaust and wood-burning stoves. Basing its action on numerous scientific studies, the EPA set the standard for soot particles at 12 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The previous standard, set in 1997, was 15 micrograms. This is good news for Americans concerned about their health. Fine particles of pollution can go deep into the lungs and are linked to a wide range of health problems — premature death, hearts attacks, strokes, acute bronchitis and aggravated asthma among children. Older people with heart and lung conditions and children are especially at risk from soot pollution. If anybody still thinks the EPA is being dictatorial, despite the health benefits of its regulations and the expected saving of thousands of lives, consider that the agency was fulfilling a court order. The EPA had been sued and a federal court ruled that the old standard was too weak and needed to be toughened according to the best available evidence. Although industry is complaining that the new standard will destroy jobs, it’s a good deal for the nation as a whole. Call it a fresh breath of air. Arab News, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Iraq’s failing political balance: The stroke suffered by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani is a cause for serious concern. The Iraqi government of Nuri Al-Maliki, a Shiite, has been sleepwalking back toward chaos and inter-communal strife. Since an arrest warrant was issued for deputy Vice President Tareq AlHashimi, a Sunni who then fled abroad, Al-Maliki has led national unity government in name only. As a result of what was seen as an attempt by Al-Maliki, to consolidate the Shiite hold on power, most leading Sunni politicians have been marginalized. The autonomous Kurdish region has meanwhile been going its own way, even to the extent of making exploration and production oil deals with foreign majors, without consulting the central government in Baghdad. A veteran politician, Talabani, as a Kurd, has been a powerful symbol of the aspiration for Iraqi unity. Indeed, some believe that had it not been for his influence, Iraq’s Kurdish region would have gone far further in its quest for greater, if not complete, independence. Had Iraq progressed any reasonable distance along the path of a pluralist democracy, within the constitution that voters backed overwhelmingly in 2005, Jalabani’s stroke would not be a problem. But now, if the president, who is 79, is incapacitated for a long period, as can often happen with strokes, or is even forced to relinquish office, then the prospects for Iraq are suddenly very uncertain. For those Shiites who, with Iranian encouragement, are thinking that payback time is fast approaching, for all the humiliations their community suffered under Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated dictatorship, a terrible reality is waiting. It is probably not too late for the Al-Maliki government to avert a new tragedy through a substantial change of direction. However, what is needed is a level of vision and statesmanship that has sadly been lacking so far during his premiership. With a more stable political and economic picture in place, the revitalized National Unity government could then turn its mind to the pressing issue of tackling the rising tide of terrorism.

DOONESBURY
The budget crisis is over. Long live the budget crisis Now that the fiscal cliff has been resolved, we're on to the fight over raising the debt ceiling. President Barack Obama wants no part of it. Huffing and stomping his feet immediately after Congress passed his tax increases to avoid the cliff, he insisted that there is no way he'll negotiate over the debt ceiling. That would be so inappropriate. Cue the hostage-taking analogies, the talk of extremism, the lamentations over a broken Washington. But why is the president outraged that someone would use the leverage of an impending event that everyone wants to avoid and that would damage the economy to his negotiating advantage? It's precisely how he won on the cliff. No one called him a hostage taker when he didn't immediately accept the House Republican extension of all the Bush tax cuts, and instead insisted on forcing a choice between higher tax rates on the wealthy or going off the cliff. He got his way. Not because Republicans wanted to raise taxes. But because taxes would go up for everyone on Jan. 1, and very few people (and no
Rich Lowry Troy Daily News Columnist
Republicans) wanted that to happen. Obama used every ounce of his leverage to raise taxes on as many people as he could -- and succeeded. Congratulations. Now that the leverage may work the other way, Obama wants an end to all this crazy talk of negotiating things and compromising. "I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that they've already racked up," the president bristled. He has apparently been an innocent bystander while the national debt increased by 60 percent since he took office. It's just his rotten luck to have to preside over such a profligate country. We've hit the debt limit of
— Mary Ann Bellas Troy
$16.4 trillion, and it will need to be extended in a couple of months. When $16.4 trillion in debt isn't enough, you've clearly got a problem. The president always says that we need a "balanced approach" to address it. In the cliff deal, he got one part of the balance. He increased income-tax rates on the oft-invoked "millionaires and billionaires," and even all the way down to $400,000-aires. In fact, thanks to the expiration of the payroll tax cut, the deal raised taxes on 77 percent of Americans, according to the Tax Policy Center. Finally, people making $40,000 a year will pay their "fair share"! The Tax Policy Center calculates that about half the additional revenue from the deal over the next year will come from households making less than $200,000. So the tax increases — both on the rich and on the middle class — have been gloriously written into law. What about the spending cuts that the president has said in the past should be a disproportionate share of any budget solution? He's not the least bit interested in those, except as a rhetorical device. Which is why Republicans are
always in the position of trying to force him to accept some sort of spending discipline. In a better, more rational world, the debt limit wouldn't be a tool of budgetary policy. But it is one of the few must-pass pieces of legislation that Republicans can use to force spending cuts, and it obviously relates directly to our budget problem. If the president doesn't want the debate over it to go nerve-wrackingly down to the wire, he can set out a serious offer, now. Of course, he's doing the opposite. His refusal to negotiate isn't sustainable, but he'll spend precious time trying to sustain it. He'll finally agree to talk, and then get Republicans to back off whatever their maximal position is — because Republicans will again fear being blamed if there's no agreement. Another Band-Aid will be applied to the debt, until next time. In the Age of Obama, the new budget crisis always follows the last.

OHIO BRIEFS
Woman assaults sheriff’s deputy
OBITUARIES
Sheriff sworn in for seventh term
HERSHEL F. MCNUTT TROY — Hershel F. McNutt, 76, of Troy, Ohio, passed away at 9:52 p.m Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013, at Upper Valley Medical Center, Troy. He was born Jan. 13, 1936, in Greenville, Ohio, to the late Perry and Goldie (Fourman) McNutt. He was married to Beverly K. (Smith) McNutt for 54 years and she preceded him in death March 18, 2008. Mr. McNutt is survived by four children, Robin Kerns of Troy, Randy McNutt of Troy, Chris McNutt of Bradford and Pam Reineke of Bradford; nine grandchildren; three step grandchildren; and eight
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Police say a deputy used his stun gun to subdue a woman who kicked him repeatedly and punched him. The Clark County Sheriff’s deputy wasn’t hurt early Friday. His name wasn’t released. Authorities say the 38year-old woman was charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstruction. She was being held in Clark County Jail and authorities say a mental health evaluation is planned. Police were at her home after responding to a call from a person who said her Facebook page indicated she could be suicidal and a threat to her mother.
CINCINNATI — The new Cincinnati streetcar project has been delayed again. Now the city is saying it won’t be ready for riders until the spring of 2016. City officials have touted the $110-million-plus project as a way to attract new businesses, visitors and residents to the revitalized downtown. Opponents, however, say it’s a costly endeavor that will do little for the city. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the streetcar’s schedule has been pushed back several times over the past three years. The latest timetable is outlined in construction bid documents recently issued by city hall. Two ballot measures drafted by streetcar opponents slowed the process, even though Cincinnati voters rejected efforts to scuttle the project. The 3.6-mile streetcar will run from the downtown riverfront to the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.

Should lottery winners’ names be kept secret?
PHOENIX (AP) — When two winning tickets for a record $588 million Powerball jackpot were claimed from the Nov. 28 drawing, the world focused on the winners. A Missouri couple appeared at a press conference and held up the traditional giant-sized check. The Arizona winner, however, skipped the press conference where lottery officials announced last month that someone had claimed the second half of the prize. The differing approach to releasing information on the winners reflects a broader debate that is playing out in state Legislatures and lottery offices nationwide: Should the winners’ names be UC fire victims secret?

JAMES M. CASHNER TIPP CITY — James M. Cashner, 89, of Tipp City, Ohio, died suddenly Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, in his home at SpringMeade Retirement Center, Tipp City. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lilly (Gordon) Cashner and Charles E. Cashner Sr.; sister, Lois Cashner Mott; and half siblings, John Cashner and Opal (Cashner) Pinkerton. He is survived by his brother, Charles E. “Ted” Cashner Jr. Jim graduated from
Milton-Union in the class of 1941. After serving in the Army in the South Pacific, he graduated with a degree in business from The Ohio State University. He worked at WrightPatterson Air Force Base for many years, retiring to spend time on genealogy, bicycling and traveling. Services at this time are indefinite, as Jim donated his body to the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State University.

In this Nov. 29, 2012 file photo, television cameras rolling, as store manager Bob Chebat, middle, hands over Wes Prinzen’s modest $4 winnings, at a 4 Sons Food Store where one of the winning tickets in the $579.9 million Powerball jackpot was purchased in Fountain Hills, Ariz. argues they are essentially entering into a large contract with the government that is public. Others argue that appearing at a news conference helps defuse media interest because the winner is available to answer questions that satisfy the media’s interest in telling their stories. In Michigan, Republican state Sen. Tory Rocca pushed a lottery bill that allows winners to remain anonymous. It didn’t pass, but in arguing for it, he cited cases where lottery winners were shot and killed because of their newfound wealth. A Florida woman was convicted last month of first-degree murder after she befriended a man who won a $30 million jackpot in 2006. Prosecutors said she took control of his assets, killed him, buried him in her yard and poured a concrete slab above the grave. An effort in New Jersey by Democratic Sen. Jim Whelan took a middle ground between public release and privacy, calling for a one-year delay in releasing winners’ names. It also didn’t make it out of the Legislature last year, but he said he’ll keep pressing to get it passed. Whelan said a one-year delay would give winners a chance to adjust while still keeping the public disclosure lotteries say they need. However, Whelan said he doesn’t really buy the agencies’ arguments
for public disclosure. “I’m not sure how many people are spurred to buy a lottery ticket because they see a picture of someone in the paper holding up a big check - and I don’t think people don’t buy a ticket because they think the whole thing’s fixed,” Whelan said. Of 44 states participating in Powerball and 33 in Mega-Millions, only Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota and Ohio allow blanket anonymity, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association, which oversees the games. “Obviously, it is a law that is designed to ensure an open and transparent process, so that the public can be ensured that insiders are not winners,” Strutt said. “But in today’s world, most of us can understand the wish to remain anonymous.” The most famous modern lottery fraud case happened in 1980 when Pennsylvania Lottery district manager Edward Plevel and TV announcer Nick Perry were convicted of fixing the result of the Daily Number drawing. Authorities found that some of the ping pong balls used in the game were injected with paint to make them too heavy to float up the winning slots. The result paid $3.8 million, a record at the time, and eight people involved in the fix won a total of about $1.2 million.

New law points to church’s waning sway Aquino won battle over contraceptives in Philippines BY HRVOJE HRANJSKI Associated Press MANILA, Philippines — Twenty-six years after Roman Catholic leaders helped his mother marshal millions of Filipinos in an uprising that ousted a dictator, President Benigno Aquino III picked a fight with the church over contraceptives and won a victory that bared the bishops’ worst nightmare: They no longer sway the masses. Aquino last month signed the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 quietly and without customary handshakes and photographs to avoid controversy. The law that provides state funding for contraceptives for the poor pitted the dominant Catholic Church in an epic battle against the popular Aquino and his followers. A couple with links to the church filed a motion Wednesday to stop implementation of the law, and more petitions are expected. Still, there is no denying that Aquino’s approval of the legislation has chipped away at the clout the church has held over Filipinos, and marked the

A “Pro-Life” sign flashes on an electric signboard outside the Roman Catholic Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in downtown Manila, Philippines, on Thursday. Philippine President Benigno Aquino III last month signed the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012. The law that provides state funding for contraceptives for the poor pitted the dominant Roman Catholic Church in an epic battle against the popular Aquino and his followers. passing of an era in which it was taboo to defy the church and priests. Catholic leaders consider the law an attack on the church’s core values — the sanctity of life — saying that contraceptives promote promiscuity and destroy life. Aquino and his allies see the legislation as a way to address how the poor —
roughly a third of the country’s 94 million people — manage the number of children they have and provide for them. Nearly half of all pregnancies in the Philippines are unwanted, according to the U.N. Population Fund, and a third of those end up aborted in a country where abortion remains illegal.
Church Service Directory
Rampant poverty, overcrowded slums, and rising homelessness and crime are main concerns that neither the church nor Aquino’s predecessors have successfully tackled. “If the church can provide milk, diapers and rice, then go ahead, let’s make more babies,” said Giselle Labadan, a 30-year-old roadside vendor. “But there are just too many people now, too many homeless people, and the church doesn’t help to feed them.” Labadan said she grew up in a God-fearing family but has defied the church’s position against contraceptives for more than a decade because her five children, age 2 to 12, were already far too many for her meager income. Her husband, a former army soldier, is jobless. She said that even though she has used most types of contraceptives, she still considers herself among the faithful. “I still go to church and pray. It’s a part of my life,” Labadan said. “I have prayed before not to have another child, but
the condom worked better,” she said. The law now faces a legal challenge in the Supreme Court after the couple filed the motion, which seems to cover more ideological than legal grounds. One of the authors of the law, Rep. Edcel Lagman, said Thursday that he was not worried by the petition and expected more to follow. “We are prepared for this,” he said. “We are certain that the law is completely constitutional and will surmount any attack on or test of its constitutionality.” Over the decades, moral and political authority of the church in the Philippines is perceived to have waned with the passing of one its icons, Cardinal Jaime Sin. He shaped the role of the church during the country’s darkest hours after dictator Ferdinand Marcos imposed martial law starting in 1972 by championing the cause of civil advocacy, human rights and freedoms. Sin’s action mirrored that of his strong backer, Pope John Paul II, who himself challenged communist rulers in Eastern Europe. Three years after Aquino’s father, Benigno Aquino Sr., a senator opposing Marcos, was gunned down on the Manila airport tarmac in 1983, Sin persuaded Aquino’s widow, Corazon, to run for president. When massive election cheating by Marcos was exposed, Sin went on Catholic-run Radio Veritas in February 1986 to summon millions of people to support military defectors and the Aquino-led opposition. Marcos fled and Aquino, a deeply religious woman, was sworn in as president. Democracy was restored, but the country remained chaotic and mired in nearly a dozen coup attempts. The economy stalled, poverty persisted and the jobless were leaving in droves for better-paying jobs abroad
as maids, teachers, nurses and engineers. After Aquino stepped down, the country elected its first and only Protestant president, Fidel Ramos. He, too, opposed the church on contraceptives and released state funds for family planning methods. Catholic bishops pulled out all the stops in campaigning against Ramos’ successor, popular movie actor Joseph Estrada, a hero of the impoverished masses who made little attempt to keep down his reputation for womanizing, drinking and gambling. But few heeded the church’s advice. Estrada was elected with the largest victory margin in Philippine history. Halfway through his six-year presidency, in January 2001, he was confronted with another “people power” revolt, backed by political opponents and the military, and was forced to resign. His successor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, styled herself as a devout Catholic and sought to placate the church by abolishing the death penalty and putting brakes on the contraceptives law, which languished in Congress during her nine years in power. It mattered little. Arroyo’s mismanagement and corruption scandals set the stage for Aquino’s election on a promise to rid the Philippines of graft, fix the economy and lift millions out of poverty. The scion of the country’s democracy icon took power several years after Sin’s death, but it was a different era in which the church was battered by scandals of sexual misconduct of priests and declining family values. The latest defeat of the church “can further weaken its moral authority at a time when this is most badly needed in many areas, including defense of a whole range of family values,” said the Rev. John J. Carroll, founding chairman of the Jesuit-run John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Ex-wife may want to see a therapist for her fears Dear Annie: I am a divorced father of two teenagers. Their mother and I have maintained a good relationship when it comes to raising the children. However, an issue has now come up. Since my divorce, I have enjoyed international travel to the Caribbean. My children have seen many pictures and heard my stories and are very interested in traveling with me. I now think they are old enough to enjoy it. Their mother, however, is afraid to fly and has not been willing to sign the paperwork required to get passports for the kids. We have had discussions about this over the years without success. I think this would be a wonderful experience for my children, and I'd like to take them with me to the tropical climate. In our last discussion, my ex said I could take them anywhere I wanted within the U.S., but she wasn't comfortable having them outside of the country if something were to happen. I offered to pay for her passport so she would have it in case she needed to see them, but she has made no effort to follow through. What do you think? — Kidless in the Caribbean Dear Kidless: Your wife is afraid to fly and is also afraid that something will happen to the children. This is slightly irrational, which means it will be difficult to convince her that the kids will be safe. You can ask her to accompany you on this trip, you can recommend that she work on her fears with a therapist, or you can simply wait until the kids are a little older. Sometimes life demands patience. Dear Annie: I'd like to get a point across to someone, and it is important that I remain anonymous. Here goes: Money versus a relationship: Granted, money is important and should be respected. Striving to earn enough to buy a home, put food on the table, drive a decent car, pay the bills and have some savings is necessary. It provides us with security and stability. That being said, there are many things that money cannot do. Money doesn't ask "How are you feeling?" Money doesn't tell you it has been thinking about you. Money doesn't spend a romantic evening with a candlelit dinner and intimate conversation. Money doesn't take the time to listen to you or greet you at the door. Money doesn't hold your hand or give you a luscious kiss goodnight. You can't give money a phone call and say, "I'd really like to see you tonight." You decide: money or relationship? Or don't you want someone to care about you? — Anonymous Dear Anonymous: If your Significant Other is focused on money to the detriment of the relationship, it's unlikely to change appreciably. And if you insist on remaining anonymous, your point may not get across. Please speak up and settle this before you commit to something that will make both of you unhappy. Dear Annie: I hope you have room for one more reply to "Your Husband." It is true, our relationship is based on love. You say the only thing missing from our relationship is sex. This is not the only thing missing. Over the years, I have done all I can to support your needs, even during intimacy. You would get what you needed, but if I dared to ask for what I needed, you would get angry. When I tried to talk to you about it, you never had time. We sought counseling, but you said I was "crazy" and quit going. A year ago, my doctor found that I had an STD. In order to protect myself, I stopped having sex with you. I have given most of my life to being there for you, and you say I haven't done enough. Going outside of our marriage is just another betrayal by someone who doesn't consider me worth the effort. — Your Wife Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Famous felines get another 15 minutes of fame Dear Heloise: I can’t thank you enough for printing the photo of my two spoiled, formerly stray cats. At age 90 1/2, I didn’t think I’d have another 15 minutes of fame, but I have friends who have asked for autographs — joking, of course. I tell them they’d better get my autograph now, before I start charging for it. Thanks again. I’ve read your column for years! — Julia in Hudson, N.H. Julia, I’m happy to share the photo of your darling cats, Oreo and Pebbles, as a Pet of the Week. I’m going to give them and you another “15 minutes” of fame, because the photo is just too darn cute! Visit my website,
Hints from Heloise Columnist www.Heloise.com, click on “Pets” and look for Julia’s photo, dated Aug. 18, 2012. Meow! — Heloise PREPARE A PLAN Dear Heloise: Here is a hint for your readers with children. Before you go anywhere, make a plan about what to do if a child gets lost or separated. It is helpful to have one plan that works in
any situation, but families are different and plans will be different. Do you want them to stop and stay right where they are until you come back? Do you want them to find an adult, preferably one in uniform? They need to know that it’s OK to ask for help, or you can designate a meet-up place. Whatever the plan is, practice, rehearse and stick to it. — Nina in Utah PET-SAFETY HINT Dear Heloise: In the news reports after every disaster, we see people clutching pets in their arms. I cringe to think about the frightened animals getting away. Every pet owner should get a
nylon-web collar or harness and use a permanent marker to write his or her phone number on it. Tags are great, but can be pulled off. Practicing wearing the collar is important, too, for pets not used to a restraint. Keep this and a leash in your “emergency kit,” and you will have a clean collar with clear information on it, ready to use. Don’t forget to have a recent pet picture, along with vaccination records, in a plastic baggie. — Diana Jones, Seguin, Texas P.S. Two matching laundry baskets tied together with nylon cord works as an emergency pet kennel.

Anything that pertains to your life direction in general is important today. (At least, to you.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good day to make long-range travel plans. It’s also a good day to register or make plans for higher education down the road. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Disputes about inheritances and shared property can be settled later in the day, because you have focus and concentration. Don’t let anyone talk you out of doing what you really think you should do. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Sit down with partners and close friends, and have practical discussions. Figure out how to share expenses or come to a fair arrangement with the division of labor. After some initial resistance, others will cooperate. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because your powers of concentration are excellent today, tackle work that requires attention to detail and strong focus. You’ve certainly got what it takes! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Couples might want to discuss the care of children or their future education. Artists can do practical work related to creative projects. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to tackle home repairs, especially anything related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Do something to make where you live function better. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Tackle work that requires mental concentration, because you will do well at this today. You don’t feel frivolous. Discussions with others will center on practical solutions and the like. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Trust your business decisions, because you feel conservative and careful with money today. You will do only what is prudent. If shopping, you will buy practical items that last for a long time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Think about how you can improve your appearance and also your style of relating to others. It will please you to make things work better for yourself.

Army Corps allays barge worries on Mississippi ST. LOUIS (AP) — Efforts taken to keep a crucial stretch of the drought-starved Mississippi River open to barge traffic should be sufficient to avert a shipping shutdown that the industry fears is imminent, Army Corps of Engineers and Coast Guard officials said Friday. The corps said crews in recent weeks have made “fantastic” progress clearing treacherous bedrock from a channel about 150 miles south of St. Louis near Thebes, Ill. the portion of the river that has grown especially worrisome to barge operators moving an array of cargo to northern states and south to the Gulf of Mexico. Shipping groups warned this week that the waterway there could drop to a point 3 feet on the river gauge in which barge weight restrictions would have to be further tightented, effectively halting shipping. Drafts, or the portion of each barge that is submerged, already are limited to 9 feet in the middle Mississippi. If the river gauge gets to 3 feet at Thebes, the Coast Guard may be forced to limit drafts even further. Officials with the trade group say that if drafts are restricted to 8 feet or lower, many operators will stop shipping. National Weather Service hydrologists, as of Friday, forecast that the river at Thebes could drop to the 3-feet mark by next Thursday and continue falling to 1 foot by the end of this month. “The uncertainty of this deteriorating situation for the nation’s shippers is having as much of an

impact as the lack of water itself,” said Michael Toohey, president and chief executive of the Waterways Council Inc., which along with the American Waterways Operators group considers the situation dire. Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty said Friday it’s possible that new draft restrictions may be considered by the middle of the month, but he believes the Army Corps’ progress near Thebes and its overall stewardship of the river should make that unlikely. As the barge industry submits, “we are absolutely facing very historic drought conditions,” Fogarty said. “But this is a long-term campaign, and we’ve won many of the battles. We all want to have the deepest, safest channel, and right now we’re accomplishing that.” The corps echoed that sentiment. “We believe we will deepen the channel ahead of the worst-case river stage scenario, and I remain confident that navigation will continue,” Maj. Gen. John Peabody, commander of the Army Corps’ Mississippi Valley division, said in a statement this week. “Rumors of a river closure have been greatly exaggerated,” Mike Petersen, an Army Corps spokesman in St. Louis, told The Associated Press. “We’re all working for the same thing keeping the river open.” Addressing the river specifically at Thebes has been a headache for the corps for months as the nation’s worst drought in decades stubbornly persists.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Jan. 5, the fifth day of 2012.There are 360 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On Jan. 5, 1983, President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating Elizabeth Dole to succeed Drew Lewis as secretary of transportation; Dole became the first woman to head a Cabinet department in Reagan’s administration. On this date: In 1943, educator and scientist George Washington Carver
died in Tuskegee, Ala., at age 81. In 1949, in his State of the Union address, President Harry S. Truman labeled his administration the Fair Deal. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed assistance to countries to help them resist Communist aggression in what became known as the Eisenhower Doctrine. In 1972, President Richard Nixon announced that he had ordered development of the space shuttle.
Ten years ago: Two Palestinian suicide bombers set off back-to-back blasts in central Tel Aviv, killing 15 Israelis and eight foreign nationals in the bloodiest attack in six months. One year ago: Speaking at the Pentagon, President Barack Obama launched a reshaping and shrinking of the military, vowing to preserve U.S. pre-eminence even as the Army and Marine Corps shedded troops and the administration considered reducing its arsenal of nuclear weapons.
Atom smasher hiatus sets stage for more discovery GENEVA (AP) — The world’s largest and most powerful atom smasher goes into a 2-year hibernation in March, as engineers carry out a revamp to help it reach maximum energy levels that could lead to more stunning discoveries following the detection of the socalled “God particle.” With the reopening of its $10 billion proton collider in early 2015, the stage will be set for observing more rare phenomena and unlocking more mysteries, said James Gillies, chief spokesman for the European particle physics laboratory known as CERN. The Large Hadron Collider under the SwissFrench border will operate for two more months then shut down through 2014, allowing engineers to lay thousands more superconducting cables aimed at bringing the machine up to “full design energy,” Gillies told The Associated Press on Friday. Physicists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, won’t exactly be idle as the collider takes a break. There are still reams more data to sift through since

In this March 30, 2010, file picture, a scientist of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, react in the SMS experiment control room at their headquarter outside Geneva, Switzerland. The world’s largest and most powerful atom smasher goes into a 2-year hibernation in March, aiming to reach maximum energy levels that may lead to more stunning discoveries after hunting down the so-called “God particle.” the July discovery of a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson dubbed the “God particle which promises a new realm of understanding of the universe. For the next two months, the Large Hadron Collider will be smashing protons with lead ions, then undergo
several weeks of testing before it shuts down. The collider launched in September 2008, but had to be switched off just nine days later when a badly soldered electrical splice overheated, causing extensive damage to the massive magnets and other parts of the
collider some 300 feet (100 meters) below the ground. It cost $40 million to repair and improve the machine. Since its restart in November 2009, the collider has performed almost flawlessly and the power produced has been ramped up to ever-new record levels.

AP Source: Browns close to reaching deal with Kelly
Bengals, Texans face off
CLEVELAND (AP) — Chip Kelly is closer to taking his fast-paced offense to the NFL. A person familiar with the negotiations said the Cleveland Browns are nearing a deal with Oregon’s offensive mastermind to be their next coach. The Browns interviewed Kelly on Friday and the Oregon coach also is scheduled to meet with the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills in Arizona. However, a person familiar with the interviews says the Eagles are “heading in another direction” because Kelly is nearing a deal with Cleveland. That person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team isn’t discussing its negotiations publicly, said the Eagles planned to interview several other candidates regardless of any conversations with Kelly. The Eagles were granted permission Friday to interview Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and
plan to meet Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported late Friday night that the Browns and Kelly met for seven hours. He said Kelly still intends to meet with the Bills on Friday, and with the Eagles some time Saturday. The Browns are “favored,” Mortensen reported. The Browns, who made their last playoff appearance 10 years ago on Saturday, have declined to comment on any interviews during their coaching search. Following Oregon’s win over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night, the 49-year-old Kelly said he wanted to get the interview process over “quickly.” He came close to jumping to the pros last year but turned down an offer from Tampa Bay to return for his fourth season as head coach at Oregon, where he is 46-7. He has boosted the school’s national profile flashy uniforms helped with a high-powered offense capable of turning any game into a track meet.
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans were looking forward to enjoying a bye this week before beginning their work in the playoffs as the AFC’s top seed. Instead, a terrible month in which they lost three of four games dropped the Texans to the third seed. It has them in the exact same spot as year ago, hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in a wild-card playoff game Saturday. The Texans wasted little time this week lamenting their missed opportunities, though, instead focusing on their next task. “Would we like to be in a different situation? Yeah, but at the same time, it’s the playoffs. It’s the start of the playoffs. Everything you’ve done up to this point, it doesn’t really matter,” Houston’s Andre Johnson said. “It only matters what you do now … we just have to take advantage of the opportunity we have now.” They’ll face a Cincinnati team that enters Saturday having won three in a row and seven of its last eight games. The Bengals are in the playoffs for consecutive seasons for the first time since 1981-82. Their last playoff win came Jan. 6, 1991 against the Oilers, the team the Texans replaced in Houston. Cincinnati offensive tack-

He wants to focus on the improvement this young team has made. “Last year, we did what it took to get into the playoffs when a lot of people predicted us to be 0-16,” Whitworth said. “This year, we got back in to the playoffs when a lot of people didn’t think we could. We’re here. The next step is winning a playoff game. Hopefully, we can let that be a chip on our shoulder.” Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton was sacked four times and threw three interceptions in last year’s 31-10 postseason loss to the Texans. Houston defensive end J.J. Watt returned one of those interceptions 29 yards

for a touchdown that gave the Texans a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Dalton, who grew up in suburban Houston, believes he’s grown since that game and learned from the mistakes he made. “I definitely feel like I’m a better quarterback this year,” he said. “I’ve got more control of the offense. There’s a lot more stuff that I’m doing at the line of scrimmage, and making checks and doing different things this year than I was doing last year. But that’s helped me become a better player.” Another player who has certainly improved in Year 2 is Watt. The defensive end led the NFL with 20 sacks this season, has 107 tackles, including 39 for losses, 16
passes defended and has forced four fumbles. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis got creative this week when asked how he planned to stop Watt. “I wrote a letter to the commissioner to petition for 13,” Lewis joked. “I figure if we put a guy on each side of him and a guy in front of him, we’ve got a good opportunity.” Then Lewis got serious. “He’s been an incredible player and he’s fun to watch if you’re not preparing to play the Texans,” Lewis said. “He’s a great model for young players to look at and be like. He really is something.” Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who has been coaching in the NFL since 1976, couldn’t say enough about Watt’s performance this season. “This is the best defensive line play of anybody since I’ve been in football,” Phillips said. “He is by far the best defensive player. He should obviously be the defensive player of the year in the league.” The AFC South champion Texans are also in the playoffs for the second straight year, the only two times in franchise history. Houston lost to the Ravens in the second round after beating the Bengals last January.

NFC wild card is NFL’s version of Groundhog Day Vikings, Packers to meet again GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — It’s not just wild-card weekend in Minnesota and Green Bay. It’s Groundhog Day. Six days after facing off in the regular-season finale, and five weeks after their first meeting of the season, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are at it again Saturday night. This is no yawner of a sequel, though, not when the stakes are win or winter vacation. “Like I tell the team, it doesn’t matter who comes out of that tunnel, I don’t care what color they have on,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “It’s about fundamentals, matchups, and that’s what we’re focused on. We’re playing at home, it’s going to be a great environment. … The Vikings obviously have done a great job to get into the tournament, and we respect that, but this is a different deal. “This is what everybody’s been fighting for, and this is what we’re excited about.” Minnesota (10-6) and Green Bay (11-5) split their first two meetings, with the Vikings’ victory last Sunday in Minneapolis giving them the last wild-card spot. It also dropped the Packers from the No. 2 to the No. 3 seed, and forced the NFC North champs to work a weekend they were hoping to have off. At least neither team had to scramble to dig up film or scouting reports. As division rivals, the Packers and Vikings already know plenty about each other. After playing twice in December, they know each other so well they could probably call each other’s plays. There won’t be any big surprises, no new wrinkles to the offense or defense that the other hasn’t already seen. “So much familiarity with the team that we are playing because of the number of times we have played them in the last month and a half,” Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. “So not a whole lot that needs to be discussed as far as getting motivated to play this game.” The Vikings game plan will be simple: Give the ball to Adrian Peterson and get
out of the way. That’s the plan pretty much every week, but particularly against Green Bay. He’s rushed for 409 yards in their two games, more than some running backs manage in 16, and is averaging a whopping 7.4 yards per carry. He had the longest run of his career, 82 yards for a touchdown, in the Dec. 2 game, and a career-high 34 carries on Sunday. Peterson has gained more yards against Green Bay (1,442 in 12 games) than any other team, and he chews up the Lambeau Field grass as easily as the Metrodome turf. “It’s just the rivalry,” he said. “There’s more emphasis on that game because we know that’s a team that we have to beat in order to accomplish our goals we’ve set forth.” Yeah, but the Packers had a goal last weekend, too, and that didn’t help against Peterson. “We had the right calls, we just need to be a little smarter as far as where we fit and then a little more accountable and reliable as far as what we do,” Packers linebacker Clay Matthews said. “There were a couple of times where, perhaps playing somebody else, we could fall inside somebody else’s gap. With this team, they’ll make you pay and that’s exactly what happened. “It was a good test and obviously we’ll come back here ready.” Now, having the Vikings come to Lambeau for the playoffs would seem an advantage for the Packers. Minnesota hasn’t won in Green Bay since 2009, the last year the Vikings made the playoffs, and the Packers have won 20 of their last 22 games at home. But the Packers have lost their last two home playoff games, including last year to the Giants when they were the NFC’s No. 1 seed. “It’s not something we’ve thought about or really talked about since probably April,” Aaron Rodgers said. “We want to be playing the right way obviously. We had a good stretch there. We won nine out of 11 games and played a lot of really good opponents, tough opponents, tough games on the road.”

Irving nets 33 in Cavs victory CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyrie Irving feels he’s at his best when the fourth quarter begins. He certainly was Friday night. Irving scored 16 of his game-high 33 points in the final period, including a pull-up jumper from the foul line with one second left, to help the Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the Charlotte Bobcats 106-104 and snap a three-game losing streak. Irving scored 16 of his team’s final 18 points in the fourth quarter. “I kind of got in a zone and kept it going,” Irving said. “And they kept feeding me.” With the game tied and 16 seconds left, everyone in the crowd knew who was going to take the last shot for the Cavaliers. “Those are the moments I kind of live for,” Irving said. Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap chose to defend Irving with rookie Jeffery Taylor, a 6-foot-7 forward known for his defense. Taylor stayed with him at first, cautiously giving him room before Irving stutterstepped and pulled back to launch a jumper from the right elbow. Irving said he didn’t know what move he’d try to make, but when the shot left his hands there was no doubt in his mind it was going in. “I just read the defense,” Irving said. “He’s taller than me but he won’t stop me from getting where I need to go. I just created space and shot my pullup.” Irving finished 10 of 21 from the field and converted all 10 free throws to go along with six assists, five rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots. Tristan Thompson added 19 points and C.J. Miles added 18 for the Cavaliers. “He has that look in his eye every fourth quarter,” Miles said of Irving. “In the Brooklyn game he walked into the huddle and told us ‘The fourth quarter is mine.’ What am I going to say, ‘No?’ But he’s been a fourth-quarter guy since he’s been in the league. He has a mental thing where he has another level, another gear which helps him make big shots.”

The girls 200 free relay team of Michelle Zelnick, Mackenzie and Cassie Rice and Meredith Orozco won (1:51.79), and the same lineup won the 400 free relay (4:13.19).

We’ve got some work to do to get back to where we were before the break.” Troy swims at Wright State Friday against Miamisburg and Talawanda.

Trojans shut out Beavers, 9-0 Staff Reports
TROY
Troy wasn’t concerned after a scoreless first period night against Friday Beavercreek. The Trojans knew it was just a matter of time. And once Troy got going, there was nothing the Beavers could do to stop them in a 9-0 Trojan victory
Friday night at Hobart Arena. Eli Walters put the first score of the game up in the second period, then Mason Hagan added a pair to make it 3-0 going into the third. And the Trojans made sure there was no rally, piling on six goals in
the final 15 minutes. Logan Tiderington scored two goals and had an assist, A.J. Noll, Alex Smith and Clay Terrill each had a goal and an assist, and Jake Uhlenbrock scored a goal. Will Schober had four assists, Tyler Hess and Brandon Beaty each had two assists and Hagan and Walters both added an
assist. Eric Wright and Jake Eldridge each made six saves and William Wilkerson made three as all of Troy’s goalies combined on a shutout. Troy outshot Beavercreek 44-15 in the game. Troy hosts Findlay at 9 a.m. today, the first of a pair of games for the Trojans.

Tippecanoe’s Nick Fischer pulls up for a jumper Friday night against Springfield Shawnee.
Devils ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Tincher, Jaelin Williams and Jaden Greenwood each hit 3s during the third-quarter run that turned a hotly-contested 29-24 game into a comfortable 42-24 edge. “Our problem tonight was being able to defend. We knew we had to be able to rebound — which we did well in the first half — and to fight through their screens on the back side,” Tippecanoe coach Marcus Bixler said. “We lost shooters because we didn’t communicate through their flare screens. “It takes two guys communicating through those flare screens or else someone gets hung up and a shooter gets open. We knew we couldn’t leave their shooters open — we had to make them put the ball on the floor, and we didn’t do that.” But Fischer didn’t let Shawnee (7-1, 3-0 Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division) escape without a fight. The senior point guard buried four straight 3s of his own to start the fourth quarter and scored 14 of his 19 points in the final eight minutes. His fourth 3 cut the deficit to single digits at 52-43, the closest the Devils had been since early in the third. But Williams — who had a big all-around night with 22 points, nine rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots — converted a three-point play and then a putback to widen the gap once again. Williams had eight of his 22 in the fourth. “He’s just so hard to guard,” Bixler said of Williams. “We tried to limit his touches because he elevates so well. He gets a lot of offensive rebounds and easy putbacks, but for the first three quarters we did a nice job of keeping him off the boards.” Ford then got going,
scoring inside to make it 57-46 before a Fischer layup cut the lead to single digits again. A threepoint play by Ford got the Devils to within seven at 58-51, but by then the Devils had to foul to get the ball back. Greenwood — who scored 17 of his game-high 23 points in the second half — went 5 for 6 from the free throw line in the final two minutes, and a Ford 3 at the buzzer made it an eightpoint loss. Ford scored 21 off the bench to lead the Devils — 14 of those coming in the second half. Fischer and Ford combined for 24 of the Devils’ 25 fourthquarter points, but Tippecanoe only got 16 points from the rest of the roster on the night. The loss was Tippecanoe’s second of the season — but both have come in division play. The Devils (7-2, 1-2 CBC Kenton Trail) travel to Bellefontaine for a makeup game on Monday. “It’s an unfortunate thing, but we’re only three games in,” Bixler said. “There’s still a lot left to play. We’ll get back to work tomorrow and get better. I can sense the frustration in the guys and a sense of urgency, and they’ll bring that to practice.” Shawnee — 64 Andrew Tincher 3-2-10, Shane Satterfield 0-0-0, Andrew Young 2-1-7, David Barnett 1-02, Jaden Greenwood 8-6-23, Jaelin Williams 8-5-22, Jalen Nelson 0-0-0, Andy Elliot 0-0-0.

Miami East’s Garrett Mitchell looks to pass Friday as Bethel’s Patrick Bain defends. ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 43-39 loss to Miami East last season in Casstown. “My guys wanted it extremely bad,” Glover said. “From the beginning of the season, we had Jan. 4 circled. They wanted this game bad. They wanted to prove to everybody that last week (losing to MiltonUnion) wasn’t our team. We didn’t play well last week, so we wanted to jump out and get after these guys. We still got a little sloppy down the stretch. We maybe should have won by a more comfortable margin. But a win is a win.” Entering the fourth quarter, the momentum had swung heavily in Miami East’s favor. The Vikings outscored the Bees 17-7 in the third quarter to take a 43-40 lead into the final period — after having been down by as many as nine in the first half. Conner Hellyer nailed back-to-back triples to close out the third quarter, which gave the Vikings their first lead since the score was 12-11 in the first quarter. But that lead would be short-lived.

Miami East’s Braxton Donaldson works against Bethel’s Johnny Wills Friday. knocked down a 3-pointer to open the fourth, tying the game at 43-43. Moments later, the Bees took back the lead on a steal and a layup by Andrew Hurst. A.J. Hickman gave East a short-lived lead with a layup to make it 46-45. But Schwieterman hit a pair at the line, then Bain drove baseline and hit a crafty floater to push Bethel’s lead up to 49-46 with just over a minute remaining. Miami East’s Nick Beard grabbed an offensive rebound and dropped in a reverse layup to put the Vikings down one with time winding down. That’s when Schwieterman was fouled after grabbing a defensive rebound. He put in one out of two at the line
to make the score 50-48. The Vikings still had their chances in the end, though. Mitchell split a pair at the line with 10 second left that could have tied the game. After Christian Pfledderer went 1 for 2 at the foul line to put Bethel up 51-49, Mitchell’s desperation 3 attempt at the buzzer was no good — and the Bethel student section stormed the floor. “This win is huge,” Glover said. “We’ve talked about this as a team, this was huge. We had to have this because the division is so strong this year, I think if you have one loss, you might be out of it. The way Tri-Village is playing right now, they are playing lights out. These guys are
tough, Franklin Monroe is tough. One loss and you could be in trouble.” “We had some opportunities,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “I thought we played a really good third quarter. Our guys stepped up and really almost grabbed control of the game. But to Bethel’s credit, they fought back and made just enough plays in the fourth quarter to win a tight game.” Bain went 7 for 10 from the floor and led all scorers with 16 points on the night. He also added five rebounds and two blocks. Schwieterman had 13 points and Pfledderer added nine. Hickman scored 15 and grabbed eight rebounds. Mitchell added 13. Bethel resumes CCC play next week against Covington. Miami East returns to action tonight on the road against Troy Christian. And judging by the fact that the entire Troy Christian team and coach were in attendance Friday, Jan. 5 is likely a date the Eagles have had circled on their calendar since the beginning of the year.

TROY
TROY — What a week it was for the Tippecanoe boys and girls bowling teams. The boys took a firm hold on the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division race, beating Tecumseh — who entered tied with Tipp for the league lead at 6-0 — by a score of 2,696-2,630 Friday at Troy Bowl. Steven Calhoun poured in season highs in both individual game (237) and series (428) to lead the Red Devils. Logan Banks shot games of 221 and 188 for a
409 series, Ryan Rittenhouse had a 401 series and Josh Bellas added a 391 series. Jack Bauder shot a game of 155. “The boys had their work cut out for them tonight going against a very good Tecumseh team, who was undefeated in league,” Tippecanoe coach Clay Lavercombe said. “We have harped on the fact that how important it was for the boys to continue to pick each other up. Like I have said over and over,
when one guys has an off day, the other five have to pick him up and pick up the slack. “In the first game, Ryan was down, and Josh and Logan picked him up. In the second game, Jack was down, then Jordan came in and finished his game. Steven, Jordan and Ryan picked him up.” And now the Red Devils are 10-0 overall, 7-0 in the CBC Kenton Trail Division. The Tipp girls won their second game in a row by a count of 1,914-1,912 over Tecumseh. The Red Devils were paced by Jenny
Korleski’s 319 series. Sarah Marshall shot games of 165 and 132 for a 297 series, Catherine Timmons shot a career high game and series, bowling a 139 and 155 for a grand total of 294. Kaitlin Timmons added a 240 series. “They bowled fantastically,” Lavercombe said. “I’m so proud of the girls. They keep improving and getting better, and that’s all we can ask for. Hopefully we can keep things rolling Tuesday against KR.” Both teams will return to action Tuesday against Kenton Ridge.
