Sharing and caring St. Pat’s fifth grade class raises more than $500 in one day to send to Sandy Hook Elementary School

Firm donates $10M to victims of Sandy Dozens of New Yorkers from a neighborhood ravaged by Superstorm Sandy lined up in a school auditorium Thursday to receive $1,000 debit cards from a financial services firm that lost hundreds of employees in the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Transgressions can add up over time As children, we all have been tempted at one time or another to take one or two pieces of penny candy from the bulk bins.

It was just one piece in a huge container full of candy that someone else surely will pay for.

What’s the harm? Just one piece isn’t going to make or break the store, right?

It’s now hit every level of our county. First it was the county, then it was the city and now, a little village has fallen victim to yet another case of theft and tampering with records. See Page 4.

uring Christmas break, St. Patrick Catholic School fifth grader Nathan Kleptz spent a lot of time trying to find a way to do something, anything, to help the families who were affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. last month.

“I just thought if this shooting had happened at our school and how TROY others would be generous and what people would be doing to try to help us,” Kleptz said. “So I thought to do something like this.”

Cupcakes, cookies, popcorn and cream puffs covered the desks of Jean Fong’s fifth grade classroom Thursday.

Each fifth grade student prepared a sweet treat to help raise funds for families impacted by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Students filtered in and out of the classroom during lunch buying treats to raise money which will be sent to the administration of the Sandy Hook Elementary school.

Kleptz said the incident surrounding the tragedy which occurred on Dec. 14 was “really scary for me.”

“I just kept thinking about what if that was our school?” the 11 yearold boy said. “I thought about how scared the kids would be and how they must feel going back to class and how the whole school was going to feel.”

Kleptz said he received approval to host the fundraiser, along with permission to have a “Blue Jeans Day” for the benefit from Principal Cyndi Cathcart.

“I asked everyone to bring something in and I thought that it was pretty nice my friends all helped out,” Kleptz said.

Each St. Patrick Catholic School student paid $1 to wear jeans Thursday, taking a break from their traditional daily uniforms.

Students simply plunked down donations in a jar before perusing the selection of cookies, brownies and other sweet treats to help students just like themselves.

Seth Peoples said he shared his family’s secret recipe of cream puffs,

COVINGTON

Levy sought for May ballot Would help fund local portion of building project in Covington

BY JENNIFER RUNYON Civitas Media editorial@tdnpublishing.com

At their regular monthly meeting Thursday night, Exempted Covington Village Board of Education members took the first step to put a levy on the May 7 ballot.

This levy would fund the local share, or $9 million, of a building project with the Ohio School Facilities Commission.

With the state co-funding the project by 58 percent, the district’s plans consist of a new kindergarten to eighth-grade building adjacent to the high school and renovations to the high school. Of this local share, $8 million would be for the new building while $1 million would go to the high school.

The local share of the project will come from a combination of both income and property taxes. Early estimates show that the property tax would be 3.89 mills with the income tax being a quarter of a percent.

“The last one (the buildSTAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER Nathan Kleptz sells baked goods to students including Elliott Gilardi during a 5th ing project levy voted down grade sponsored fundraiser for Sandy Hook.

When the shots were fired, teacher Ryan Heber tried to get the more than two dozen students out a back door and engaged the shooter in conversation to distract him, Youngblood said. Campus supervisor Kim Lee Fields responded to a call of shots fired and also began talking to the teen.

“They talked him into putting that shotgun down.

He in fact told the teacher, ‘I don’t want to shoot you,’ and named the person that he wanted to shoot,” Youngblood said.

“The heroics of these two people goes without saying. … They could have just as easily … tried to get out of the classroom and left students, and they didn’t,” the sheriff said. “They knew not to let him leave the classroom with that shotgun.”

The shooter didn’t show up for first period, then interrupted the class of 28 students.

Youngblood said the suspect alleges the two students he targeted had bullied him for more than a year, but the sheriff couldn’t confirm the allegations.

“Certainly he believed that the two people he targeted had bullied him, in his mind.

Whether that occurred or not we don’t know yet,” Youngblood said.

Youngblood did not release the student’s disciplinary record, saying he didn’t have it.

The shotgun is believed to belong to the boy’s brother and was in the boy’s home, Youngblood said.

The Sheriff ’s Department did not release the boy’s name because he was a juvenile and had yet to be charged. But many students and community members said they knew the boy and said he was often teased, including Alex Patterson, 18, who went to Taft with the suspect before graduating last year.

“He comes off as the kind of kid who would do something like this,” Patterson said. “He talked about it a

“I know we say “with regret” on all of these (resignations), but he will certainly be missed in the football program,” Larson said of the longtime assistant coach.

Pond was re-elected president and Brad Hall vice president. They held these positions last year as well. The members agreed to continue holding their meetings at 6 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month at the board of education office.

lot, but nobody thought he would.”

Trish Montes, who lived next door to the suspect, said he was “a short guy” and “small” who was teased about his stature by many, including the victim.

“Maybe people will learn not to bully people,” Montes said. “I hate to be crappy about it, but that kid was bullying him.”

Montes said her son had worked at the school and tutored the boy last year, sometimes walking with him between classes because he felt sorry for him.

“All I ever heard about him was good things from my son,” Montes said. “He wasn’t Mr. Popularity, but he was a smart kid. It’s a shame. My kid said he was like a genius. It’s a shame because he could have made something of himself.”

The wounded student was flown to a hospital in Bakersfield and was listed in stable but critical condition Thursday evening.

Officials said a female student was hospitalized with possible hearing damage because the shotgun was fired close to her ear, and another girl suffered minor injuries during the scramble to flee when she fell over a table.

Officials said there’s usually an armed officer on campus, but the person wasn’t there because he was snowed in. Taft police officers arrived within 60 seconds of first reports.

Bakersfield television station KERO reported receiving phone calls from people inside the school who hid in closets. About 900 students are enrolled at the high school, which includes ninth through 12th grades.

Wilhelmina Reum, whose daughter Alexis Singleton is a fourth-grader at a nearby elementary school, got word of the attack while she was about 35 miles away in Bakersfield and immediately sped back to Taft.

“I just kept thinking this can’t be happening in my little town,” she told The

Associated Press.

“I was afraid I was going to get hurt,” Alexis said. “I just wanted my mom to get here so I could go home.”

Taft is a community of fewer than 10,000 people amid oil and natural gas production fields about 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The attack there came less than a month after a gunman massacred 20 chil-

dren and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., then killed himself.

That shooting prompted President Barack Obama to promise new efforts to curb gun violence. Vice President Joe Biden, who was placed in charge of the initiative, said he would deliver new policy proposals to the president by next week.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-

Calif., said in a statement that her father had attended Taft Union and she has visited the school over the years.

“At this moment my thoughts and prayers are with the victims, and I wish them a speedy recovery,” Feinstein said. “But how many more shootings must there be in America before we come to the realization that guns and grievances do not belong together?”

your own opinions and ideas without putting down theirs; acknowledge that it is okay to disagree. Remind them you are there for them to provide safety, comfort and support. Give them a hug.

Keep home a safe place.

Children, regardless of age, often find home to be a safe haven when the world around them becomes overwhelming. During times of crisis, it is important to remember that your children may come home seeking the safe feeling they have being there. Help

make it a place where your children find the solitude or comfort they need. Plan a night where everyone participates in a favorite family activity.

Watch for signs of stress, fear or anxiety. After a traumatic event, it is typical for children (and adults) to experience a wide range of emotions, including fearfulness, shock, anger, grief and anxiety. Your children’s behaviors may change because of their response to the event. They may experience trouble sleeping, difficulty with concentrating on

school work or changes in appetite. This is normal for everyone and should begin to disappear in a few months. Encourage your children to put their feelings into words by talking about them or journaling. Some children may find it helpful to express their feelings through art.

Take “news breaks.” Your children may want to keep informed by gathering information about the event from the Internet, television or newspapers. It is important to limit the amount of time spent watching the

news because constant exposure may actually heighten their anxiety and fears. Also, scheduling some breaks for yourself is important; allow yourself time to engage in activities you enjoy.

Take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of your children. Be a model for your children on how to manage traumatic events. Keep regular schedules for activities such as family meals and exercise to help restore a sense of security and normalcy.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a notably upbeat assessment of war progress, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Thursday that the U.S.-led coalition has advanced to the “last chapter” of an 11-year struggle to ensure that Afghanistan can defend itself.

The endgame to which Panetta referred is punctuated with uncertainty, beginning with doubts about whether the Afghan government can build legitimacy by credibly serving its population. Also in question is

whether Afghan security forces will be capable of holding off the Taliban after international forces leave in 2014.

Panetta, who intends to quit his post within weeks, held an hourlong, one-on-one meeting at the Pentagon with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. The Pentagon chief said afterward that they had made “very good progress” on key issues, including the basis for an agreement on continued U.S. assistance after the combat mission ends.

Panetta also predicted

that his designated successor, former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, will be confirmed by the Senate, despite questions raised by many about his views on Israel and Iran.

“I think a lot of the criticisms that are being made right now are unfair,” Panetta said, adding that he would leave it to Hagel to address these at his Senate confirmation hearing, the date for which has not yet been set.

“In these confirmation battles there are a lot of charges that will be out there,” he added. “There will be a lot of criticisms that are out there. But ultimately, the truth prevails. And I think the truth in this case will mean that he’ll be confirmed.”

Panetta said he is confident, after having met with Hagel to discuss their transition, that the Vietnam War veteran is committed to the plan for gradually shifting responsibility for Afghan-

istan’s security to Afghan forces so that foreign forces can leave in two years.

Panetta told a news conference that he and Karzai had laid the groundwork for the Afghan leader’s meeting at the White House on Friday with President Barack Obama.

That session is not expected to clarify the size of any U.S. military role in Afghanistan after 2014, but it may spell out specific examples of U.S. aid.

“We made very good progress on, you know, the kind of equipment that we would try to make available to them,” to enable the Afghans to not only secure their borders but also prevent a Taliban takeover, Panetta said.

U.S. commanders in Afghanistan have proposed options for keeping between 6,000 and 15,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014 to continuing pressuring terrorists and further developing Afghan security forces.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune on diverting Missouri and Mississippi River water to Western states: For years, upriver and downriver interests have argued over use of Missouri River water. Now a third option looms that could confound the issue further: diversion of water to parched Western states by way of a pipeline.

As a general proposition, the idea makes sense, allocating the nation’s water supply to most advantageous uses. In the Great Flood of 1993, millions of gallons surging beyond the banks of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers could have been relocated to huge storage basins in the West with benefit to both areas. In normal times, when plenty of water fills the Missouri, nobody would object to diversion through a treatment plant and pipeline headed west.

Of course, it’s not that simple. The proposed pipeline would cost $11.2 billion and take 30 years to build, but for such a basic improvement in the nation’s infrastructure, cost should not be a stopper.

While the economy slowly improved and the nation made it peacefully through a divisive presidential election, the year will be remembered largely for tragedies.

2012 brought the terrible massacres in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. The scope and the senselessness of these brutal attacks shock the conscience and leave us dumbfounded as to why the suspects could see these massacres as a reasonable way to express their grievances.

Sadly, attacks by gunmen were not limited to these major crimes. It seems almost daily that we hear of another incident somewhere in the United States in which a person — often a family member or a police officer — has been killed by gunfire. …

All the families of the victims have our sympathies on their losses.

For them and too many others, 2012 has been an emotionally painful year.

DOONESBURY

‘Little’ transgressions tend to add up over time As children, we all have been tempted at one time or another to take one or two pieces of penny candy from the bulk bins.

It was just one piece in a huge container full of candy that someone else surely will pay for. What’s the harm? Just one piece isn’t going to make or break the store, right?

It’s now hit every level of our county. First it was the county, then it was the city and now, a little village has fallen victim to yet another case of theft and tampering with records.

In Thursday’s edition of the Troy Daily News, it was reported charges were filed against a volunteer fire fighter organization’s former chief for allegedly stealing gasoline, buying parts for personal vehicles and pocketing cash from an oven in a home owned by the organizations.

At first you may have scoffed and thought “Well, it was only a few gallons of gas,” or “It was just $100 worth of parts.”

But it is that type of internal dialogue where the problem lies.

One tends to hear there’s now a “sense of entitlement” in our country. Whether it’s teenagers who feel like they are owed a brand new car or young adults who are

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist trying to keep up with friends by racking up credit card bills to have the latest and greatest gadgets, only to later default on payments.

It’s becoming an epidemic.

We don’t have to look far for examples of entitlement within our own families, a few friends, churches, even schools and our own government.

In each case, including the county and city financial fiascoes, it started out small — just scrap metal funds. The money was just “chump change” in a time when wages were being frozen, workers were being laid off and budgets were tight.

It was cash money that was easily missed and unaccounted for.

Many people turned a blind eye of daily “misuse” such as “borrowing” equipment like lawnmowers,

power tools, a leaf blower here and there.

I’m sure the mentality was “Oh what the heck? It’s not like it’s hurting anybody. No one will be the wiser.”

But for some, when you give an inch, they’ll take a mile.

It could be just a case of the “Good Ol’ Boys” club of what they don’t know, won’t hurt anybody.

But this mentality has drained several thousands of dollars our county, our city and our smaller organizations at a time those funds were desperately needed to do the jobs we’ve paid for them to do.

For those who have been sentenced and publicly apologized, it’s a little too late to do the right thing now. What started as a few hundred dollars in scrap metal funds quickly escalated to tens of thousands of dollars in purchases.

Yet, in these type of cases it started out as just a few hundred dollars; or just a gallon or two of gas; just a few things charged on the organization’s account.

In a perfect world, we could trust those we’ve placed in positions of responsibility to take care of business in a right and just manner.

We shouldn’t let the deplorable

acts of a few tarnish the hard work of those who continue to do the right thing.

The good news is there are heroes in these types of stories.

It’s the whistle blowers, whether it was a secretary, or treasurer who found things which weren’t quite adding up. Maybe it was the blue collar worker who finally stood up to what didn’t seem right and called their bosses out even if it meant maybe losing a friend or even their job.

It’s not always comfortable doing the right thing. It’s not always popular.

Yet maybe if someone had said something earlier, raised an eyebrow or two, things wouldn’t have spiraled out of hand so rapidly for most of these folks.

So I commend those who have come forward and did the right thing. I commend those who had the courage to say something when it may not have always been popular to do so.

So to all those whistle blowers out there — thank you.

Oh, and have you noticed the days of the bulk candy bins are long gone?

Some people associated with the show were concerned when a disabled child was on the show.

“Some people thought he would cause a ruckus, but Rex said ‘No, let him on,’” Bavaro said.

In 1961, he led a wagon train across the state to raise awareness about children with disabilities.

Trailer has been honored for his lifetime commitment to disabled children, especially muscular dystrophy.

He taught on-camera performance and production at Emerson College in Boston since the mid-1970s, and ran his own production company based in Waltham that produced commercials, industrial films and documentaries. Trailer was also an accomplished pilot and recording artist, who even wrote the theme music to “Boomtown.”

Trailer got into show business on the advice of the ranch hands on his

GENEVA (AP) — Claude Nobs, the founder and general manager of the Montreux Jazz Festival, whose passion for music and artistry introduced generations of legendary musicians to international audiences on the Swiss stage, has died. He was 76.

The Jazz Festival said Nobs, a native of Montreux, died Thursday after sustaining injuries from a fall while cross-country skiing in nearby Caux-sur-Montreux on Christmas Eve. He was taken to the hospital and fell into a coma from which he never recovered.

Nobs worked his way from being a chef and director of Montreux’s tourism office, where he organized charity concerts, to overseeing one of the most iconic music festivals in the world.

On its website, the festival said Nobs’ death came by “surprise as if to remind us once more, that in life as in music, each great performance could be the last one even if the show must go on.”

A visit to the New York offices of Atlantic Records led to the first festival in his home city in June 1967, featuring musicians such as Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette.

The festival was an overnight success, building over the decades on Nobs’ passion for jazz, as much as his gumption and contacts abroad. “‘And why not?’ You would repeatedly ask the same question when we tried to explain why a project would not be feasible,” festival officials wrote in an homage to Nobs on the web site that praised his audacity to dream big. “The Montreux Jazz Festival is the ultimate proof of that!

But not the only one!”

From that meeting in New York, Nobs went on to gain career-forming introductions to musical greats such as Roberta Flack and Aretha Franklin, who would

make her first European tour at his request. The musical acts at the festival also would gradually broaden to include rock and pop.

An early incident involving the rock group Deep Purple, which had come to Montreux to record an album after performing with Frank Zappa, became forever linked with Nobs.

During a fire at Zappa’s concert in 1971, Nobs rushed to save several young concert-goers. Deep Purple’s hit song, “Smoke on the Water,” would memorialize the accident Nobs as “Funky Claude” pulling kids to safety.

Two years later, Nobs became director of the Swiss branch of Warner, Elektra and Atlantic, a position that gave him added clout to introduce heavyweights on the Montreux stage.

By the 1990s, he was sharing festivaldirecting duties with the music producer Quincy Jones and bringing in Miles Davis as an honorary host.

Nobs, whose enthusiasm for greeting musicians at his office and chalet home cemented his standing and boosted the profile of his home, also became known for occasionally taking the stage to play harmonica.

In an interview with Swiss video magazine NVP3D posted on YouTube, Nobs’ compared the mix of tradition and creative innovation that he sought at his festivals to the popular Swiss German breakfast dish Bircher Muesli, a combination of rolled oats, fruits, nuts and dairy products.

“Which means it’s going to be like a fruit panorama, like a rainbow of different music, and this is what I like about Montreux,” he said in the interview, published in June 2012. “To make it really with such a variety of sound, of smell, of views and scene, that it makes it a real experience.”

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Evan S. Connell SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Evan S. Connell was virtually unknown to the general public, but to critics and students of graduate writing programs, the adventurous author was regarded fondly and often praised for his diversity of interests.

Connell’s Depression-era Kansas City in the twin novels “Mrs. Bridge” and “Mr. Bridge” was even made into a movie starring husband and wife movie actors, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

Still, few knew about his accomplishments in Santa Fe, where he’s lived in recent years. On Thursday, the acclaimed author of “Son of the Morning Star: Custer and the Little Bighorn” a book about Custer’s last stand was found dead in his apartment. He was 88, his niece

said.

Connell likely died of old age, said Donna Waller of Hilton Head Island, S.C. His request to family: no funeral.

Connell was a National Book award finalist, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a finalist in 2009 for the International Man Booker Award for lifetime achievement.

Connell was the author of 19 books, including two book-length poems, a biography of Spanish painter Francisco Goya and a historically detailed novel about the Crusades, “Deus Lo Volt!”

He wrote often of seekers and doubters, world travelers through the ages, and conventional folks who secretly yearned to break out.

BOSTON (AP) — Rex Trailer, the native Texan beloved by a generation of New England children for the cowboy skills he demonstrated on the Boston-based television show “Boomtown,” has died.

He was 84.

Trailer died Wednesday at his family’s home in Florida, said his friend and manager Michael Bavaro.

He had fallen ill with pneumonia in Florida over the holidays, but the exact cause of death was not immediately clear.

“Rex Trailer left this earth peacefully last night surrounded in love and song by his family,” the family announced on his website. “While everyone’s prayers and support have been of great comfort to Rex, he decided it was time to go home. Rex and family thank all of you and love you.”

“Boomtown” ran on Boston television from 1956 until 1974. Trailer hosted the show, singing, playing guitar and showing off the horse-riding, roping and other cowboy skills he had learned as a boy on his grandfather’s ranch in Texas.

The show was an instant success when it first aired, the live studio audience enraptured by Trailer’s Texas twang. It aired live every Saturday and Sunday morning for three hours. More than 250,000 kids appeared on “Boomtown” over the years and more than 4 million watched from home, according to the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame.

Trailer was inducted in 2007.

In addition to the cowboy action, the show offered educational games and films, cartoons and outdoor adventure.

“He was a visionary in a lot of ways,” Bavaro said.

“He was doing educational children’s television before there was educational children’s television.”

The show was one of the

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A former bodyguard for Justin Bieber is suing the pop superstar claiming he is owed more than $420,000 in unpaid overtime and that he was fired after Bieber repeatedly hit him in the chest.

Timberlake hints return to music NEW YORK — Is Justin Timberlake bringing his music career back?

The superstar has concentrated almost exclusively on his acting career over the last few years. But on Thursday, he posted a video on his website that showed him walking into a studio, putting on headphones and saying: “I’m ready.”

Timberlake hasn’t made an album since 2006’s Grammy-winning “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” In the video, Timberlake is also heard saying that

he obsesses over his music and doesn’t want to put music out that he doesn’t love and that you have to wait for music you love.

Wygant has studied in Germany at the “Iserlohn Guitar Symposium” and in Italy at “The Volterra Project” with world-renowned Greek guitarist Antigoni Goni.

He was so inspired by Goni’s teaching that he decided to audition for her at “The Royal Conservatory of Brussels” in Belgium, where she is chair of the classical guitar department. In September, he traveled to Brussels for his audition and was accepted. He will begin his studies with Goni in September.

The Hotel Gallery’s Tippecanoe Room is located at 101 E. Main St., at

AP MOVIE REVIEWS • “Gangster Squad” This pulpy, violent tale of cops and mobsters in 1949 Los Angeles rides an uncomfortable line between outlandishness and outright parody, and it’s difficult to tell which is director Ruben Fleischer’s intention. Which is a problem. While the film wallows in period detail and has some sporadic moments of amusing banter, it’s mostly flashy, empty and cacophonous, and it woefully wastes a strong cast led by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in barely developed, one-note roles. At its center is a performance from Sean Penn as mob king Mickey Cohen in which he doesn’t just chew up the scenery, he rolls it around in his mouth like a handful of marbles, then spits it back out again and blows it to bits with a Tommy gun for good measure. With his mashed-up boxer’s mug, thick Brooklyn accent and volatile bursts of anger, he’s as cartoony as a Dick Tracy villain. While “Gangster Squad” certainly has its intended moments of humor, the laughs Penn’s performance prompts might not have been part of the plan. Brolin stars as a police sergeant and heroic war veteran tasked with putting together a secret team to take down Cohen’s empire by his rules that is, no rules at all. R for strong violence and language. 113 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

• “Amour” — Michael Haneke takes a subject you don’t often see in movies and probably don’t even want to see the slow, steady deterioration of an elderly woman and handles it with great grace. The Austrian writer-director, who’s achieved a reputation for a certain mercilessness over the years through films like “Cache” and “Funny Games,” displays a surprising and consistent humanity here, and draws unadorned but lovely performances from his veteran stars, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva. Haneke focuses on the intimate moments of their changing lives as the longtime married couple remains holed up in their comfortable Paris apartment, coping day to day, waiting for eventual death. It will surely strike a chord with anyone who’s watched a loved one slip away in this manner, whether it’s a parent or a spouse. But Haneke’s aesthetic can feel too stripped-down, too one-note in its dignified monotony. He will hold a shot, as we know, and once again he avoids the use of a score, so all that’s left to focus on is the insular, dreary stillness of quiet descent.

Certainly minimalism is preferable to melodrama in telling this kind of story, but Haneke takes this approach to such an extreme that it’s often hard to maintain emotional engagement.

PG-13 for mature thematic material including a disturbing act, and for brief language. In French with English subtitles. 125 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

• “Jack Reacher” — The idea of watching a movie in which a sniper methodically manufactures his own bullets, practices weekly at a gun range, then waits quietly in an empty parking garage before shooting five people dead may not sound like the most appealing form of entertainment during these tragic days. Nevertheless, it’s important to assess “Jack Reacher” on its own terms, for what it is and what it isn’t. Besides being caught in some unfortunate timing, it’s also clever, well-crafted and darkly humorous, and it features one of those effortless bad-ass performances from Tom Cruise that remind us that he is indeed a movie star, first and foremost. OK, so maybe Cruise doesn’t exactly resemble the Reacher of British novelist Lee Child’s books: a 6-foot-5, 250-pound, blond behemoth. If you haven’t read them, you probably won’t care. Even if you have read them, Christopher McQuarrie’s film the first he’s directed and written since 2000’s “The Way of the Gun” moves so fluidly and with such confidence, it’ll suck you in from the start. Jack Reacher is a former military investigator who’s become a bit of a mythic figure since he’s gone off the grid.

When the deadly shooting occurs at the film’s start, authorities believe they’ve quickly found their man: a sniper who’s exArmy himself. He reveals nothing during his interrogation but manages to scribble the words “Get Jack Reacher” on a notepad before winding up in a coma. But when Reacher arrives and reluctantly agrees to help the defense attorney (Rosamund Pike) investigate, he finds the case isn’t nearly as simple as it seems. PG-13 for violence, language and some drug material. 130 minutes. Three stars out of four.

• “Not Fade Away” — “The Sopranos” boss David Chase’s somewhat autobiographical drama about a Jersey boy in a 1960s rock band would be called a promising first feature from some unknown filmmaker doing the rounds at Sundance.

Coming from a Hollywood heavyweight who’s spent decades in the TV trenches, it’s a hopeful sign, or maybe just wishful thinking, that more of the quality that has fled film for television might somehow be channeled back to the big screen. Chase’s directing debut is a sweet, sad, smart and satisfying piece of nostalgia, at least partly inspired by his own youthful experiences as a drummer in a New Jersey band. Like “The Sopranos,” much of the drama arises out of generational conflict, in this case rebellious son Douglas (John Magaro) and his pragmatic, my-way-or-the-highway dad (“Sopranos” star James Gandolfini). Infected by music of the British invasion, chiefly the Rolling Stones, Douglas and some pals form a band that few will ever hear about. From there we get not the overdone tale of a group on the rise and struggling with the pitfalls of fame and success. Instead, we get the genuine and more illuminating story of all those losers who didn’t make it.

Great ’60s period detail gives the film authenticity. Aided by "Sopranos" co-star and E Street Band member Steven Van Zandt, Chase assembles a killer soundtrack ranging from the Stones, the Beatles and the Kinks to Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson and Elmore James. R for pervasive language, some drug use and sexual content. 112 minutes. Three stars out of four.

• “The Impossible” — Based on the true story of a family swept away by the deadly tsunami that pummeled Southeast Asia in 2004, director Juan Antonio Bayona’s drama is about as subtle as a wall of water. The depiction of the natural disaster itself is visceral and horrifying impeccable from a production standpoint. And Naomi Watts gives a vivid, deeply committed performance as the wife and mother of three young boys who finds the strength to persevere despite desolation and debilitating injuries. But man, is this thing heavy-handed.

Watts and Ewan McGregor play Maria and Henry, a happily married British couple spending Christmas at a luxury resort in Thailand with their three adorable sons. (The real-life family whose story inspired the film was Spanish; changing their ethnicity and casting famous people to play them seems like a rather transparent attempt to appeal to a larger audience.)

During a quiet morning by the pool, the first massive wave comes ashore, scattering the family and thousands of strangers across the devastated landscape. “The Impossible” tracks their efforts to survive, reconnect, find medical care and get the hell out of town. The near-misses at an overcrowded hospital are just too agonizing to be true, and the uplifting score swells repeatedly in overpowering fashion to indicate how we should feel. Surely, the inherent drama of this story could have stood on its own two feet. PG-13 for intense, realistic disaster sequences, including disturbing injury images, and brief nudity. 107 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Tell Pete you find his behavior disturbing Dear Annie: My husband and I recently moved to the city where my husband's family lives. One of his brothers has been married for two years. (It's his third wife.)

"Pete" is a likable guy who often arranges fun activities.

Pete moved into his wife's house when they married. She had a teenage daughter, a dog and a cat. Pete got rid of all three. He is obsessive-compulsive and doesn't like to clean up after pets and couldn't tolerate his wife's daughter. The girl now lives with her father, who isn't a great parent, so she sometimes sleeps in the park.

We don't know what he did with the animals. Pete also made his wife sign over her house because she wasn't paying her portion of the mortgage and bills.

Pete's wife confides in me, and while she accepts everything he does, she is miserable. My husband and I feel guilty hanging out with Mr. Good Times when he is creating so much pain for his wife and stepdaughter. How do we continue accepting fun invites when we know he is such a control freak? I realize I can't interfere in his marriage, but I don't want him to think we condone his treatment of his wife and stepdaughter. The fact that Pete sees nothing wrong with his actions is disturbing. What can we do? — Worried Sister-in-Law Dear Worried: Abusers often come across as charming guys.

But we don't know what's really going on. The pets could be fine, the daughter might be OK if her biological father stepped up, and if Pete's wife wasn't paying the mortgage, having the house in his name may have been justified.

However, all of these things together make Pete's behavior questionable, if not pathological.

If he is forcing these changes onto his wife and she feels trapped, please encourage her to call the Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE. And speak up. Tell Pete you find his behavior disturbing.

Dear Annie: My sister and I are trying to plan a nice dinner for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We would like to invite about 30 close family members and friends to a restaurant that our parents like, but footing the bill for everyone's meal would be difficult. Would it be OK to add this sentence to the invitation: "We chose a restaurant that we think is affordable to all. Gifts are not required. Your presence will be gift enough." Or do you have another suggestion? — Want To Do the Right Thing Dear Want: In other words, you want the guests to pay for their own meals. That necessitates rephrasing the entire invitation because you are asking them to host themselves. Try this: "Please join us in taking our parents out to their favorite restaurant."

Dear Annie: "A Guy in Virginia" asked whether it was OK to look at a woman's tattoo.

I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify sexual harassment. It has a very strict legal meaning at the federal and state level in order to regulate how people behave in the workplace. It has nothing to do with a guy checking out some woman in the grocery.

It's sexual harassment if the person in authority says, "If you don't sleep with me, I will fire you" — or not give you a raise, flunk you, etc. It's sexual harassment if it creates a hostile work environment — a pattern of looking at pornography at work, making lewd comments or sexist jokes, or displaying suggestive calendars or photos. It is not sexual harassment to say, "I like your hair," although a pattern of personal remarks that make someone uncomfortable would eventually constitute a hostile work environment.

It is not about what happens outside the workplace. So if you don't want someone to stare at you, don't wear revealing clothes, get a tattoo or wear pink hair. -BTDT in the Northeast Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple tips will help make wallpaper removal easier Dear Heloise: My daughter has old plaster walls.

Unfortunately, there are at least four layers of wallpaper on the walls. How do we go about removing the paper without damaging the walls? — Diane, via email Try using a little fabric softener or liquid starch and water. Score the wallpaper with a wallpaper scorer first. You can find one at most home-improvement stores.

Apply the solution and wait. When the wallpaper starts to loosen, start at a corner and gently pull the wallpaper from the wall.

Remoisten if the wallpaper is not loose enough.

If there is glue residue, use my favorite household product: vine-

Hints from Heloise Columnist gar! Mix a solution of vinegar and water (50/50). Spray it on the area and let sit. Wipe away with an old, clean cloth.

Vinegar is a great product to keep around the house. It is good for so many things! Want to know what else you can use it for? Order my pamphlet. Send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents)

envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Apply white vinegar to old decals until soaked for easy removal. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: I found another way to use the cloth wine-bottle carriers that you get from the grocery store. I use a four-pack size to hold my hair products, lotions, brushes, etc., when traveling. It is so easy to just put on the counter in the hotel, and not have so many bottles and cans all over the sink area. — Karen in Washington PET PROTECTION Dear Readers: With so many having been affected by natural disasters in recent years, people

are beginning to prepare, just in case. Don’t let your pets be overlooked. Whether a natural disaster or an unforeseen accident, pet owners need to make arrangements for their pets. Who would look after them? Where would they go? Unfortunately, too many animals end up in shelters or worse because arrangements were not made.

Make sure you have a plan in place for your pet. Keep a document with all the needed information with your other estate documents. Keep a card in your wallet with pet and contact information in case of an accident. — Heloise P.S.: Cabernet, our mini schnauzer, agrees! “Woof, woof!”

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your relationship with authority figures might change suddenly today for the better or for the worse. (It’s hard to say.) But if something goes sideways, don’t quit your day job. Give things a sober second thought.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Romance with someone from another culture might begin suddenly today or a relationship might end suddenly.

This also could apply to travel for pleasure.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Something is very unpredictable today, especially related to whatever you share with others — inheritances, debt, shared property and jointly owned possessions. Double-check everything if you can.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A relationship might break up today.

You could be blindsided by news from someone. (In a few cases, you suddenly might fall in love with someone who is unusual.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Something related to your job will go sideways in a New York minute today.

It could be a relationship with a coworker, it could be a work-related romance — or it could be something that affects your earnings. Caution.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is definitely an accident-prone day for your children, so you must be careful. Be extra vigilant about every potential hazard. Know where your kids are at all times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with family members are rocky today. Domestic arguments could break out. Perhaps something beautiful, especially art, might get broken at home. Guard against electrical fires and accidents.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Physical or verbal accidents might occur today. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Sudden changes to your financial picture might occur today. This could be positive, but it could also be negative.

Keep your eyes open and guard your possessions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might develop a crush on someone rather unusual today. Or an ongoing relationship might end suddenly.

Whatever occurs will be unexpected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Something you’ve been holding back might erupt within you today. Because of this, you might tell someone off or finally get something off your chest.

(Oops.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Friendships could be disrupted today.

Alternatively, you might strike up a new friendship with someone who is very unusual or different. A meeting with others might be canceled.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re a committed professional who is willing to undergo hardship to achieve your aims.

Your career takes precedence over many things in your life. Many of you are dedicated to serving others. Personally, you are a lively storyteller and very entertaining. You often have unusual hobbies. Your year ahead is the beginning of a fresh, exciting new cycle. Open any door!

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Jan. 11, the 11th day of 2013. There are 354 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 11, 1913, the first enclosed sedan-type automobile, a Hudson, went on display at the 13th National Automobile Show in New York.

On this date: • In 1805, the Michigan Territory was created by an act of Congress.

• In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Grand Canyon National Monument (it became a national park in 1919).

• In 1927, the creation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and

Sciences was proposed during a dinner of Hollywood luminaries at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

• In 1935, aviator Amelia Earhart began an 18-hour trip from Honolulu to Oakland, Calif., that made her the first woman to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean.

• In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued the first government report that said smoking may be hazardous to one’s health.

• In 1972, East Pakistan changed its name to Bangladesh.

• In 1977, France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a PLO official behind the mas-

sacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

• Five years ago: Authorities in Jacksonville, N.C., found the remains of Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Frances Lauterbach in the yard of Cpl. Cesar Armando Laurean, a comrade she had accused of raping her. (Laurean, who fled to Mexico, was later arrested and sent back to the U.S.; he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.)

• Today’s Birthdays: Movie director Joel Zwick is 71. Country singer Naomi Judd is 67. Singer Mary J. Blige is 42.

NYC firm hit hard on 9/11 gives $10M in Sandy aid NEW YORK (AP) — Dozens of New Yorkers from a neighborhood ravaged by Superstorm Sandy lined up in a school auditorium Thursday to receive $1,000 debit cards from a financial services firm that lost hundreds of employees in the Sept.

11 terror attacks.

“This is such a help to my little son who is emotionally challenged and lost everything,” said Debbie Torres, clutching her cash card from the brokerage firm Cantor Fitzgerald. “God, thank you. These people here, thank you. Thank everybody.”

Cantor Fitzgerald, whose Sept. 11 death toll of 658 was by far the largest of any employer, announced Thursday that it will “adopt” 19 schools in communities hit hard by Sandy and give a total of $10 million to families in those schools.

Cantor Fitzgerald, its relief fund and its affiliate BGC Partners are donating $1,000 each to 10,000 families to spend as they see fit. The schools are in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island and New Jersey.

Cantor officials joined elected leaders at Public School 256 in Far Rockaway on Thursday to start the effort.

“This is going to be used up in a heartbeat because we have nothing,” said Theresa Ward, who said her neighborhood looked like a war zone after the storm hit on Oct. 29.

“We watched the whole block burn down,” Ward said. “The water was up to here and we couldn’t leave the house. …

Everybody was putting their kids

National Guardsmen Specialist Ivan Pimentel, left, and PFC Harry Cadet walk along the beach past a destroyed house during a break in their work in the Rockaways, Thursday in New York. on their shoulders, and you have no idea what you’re walking through. It’s pitch black and it’s freezing. You don’t know if there’s shards of glass or if there’s sharks in the water or anything.

It was just something that you never want to go through.”

Ward and her husband, Paul, left immediately to shop for a bed for their 17-year-old son because the furniture in his ground-floor bedroom was destroyed. Their home still doesn’t have heat and now the family, which also includes a 4-year-old boy, is planning to move.

Tony Osemwengie, father of a sixth-grade son, said he hadn’t

decided yet how to spend the money but he was glad to have it.

“It means a lot to us,” he said.

Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick said he learned after Cantor’s devastating loss of so many employees with young children that help should come with no strings attached.

“The best way to take care of a family is to put money in the hands of the parents and let them decide what to do,” he said.

“Maybe they need a couch and maybe they need to go to Toys R Us and buy their kids a present.”

Cantor Fitzgerald’s headquarters on the 101st through 105th floors of One World Trade Center

were destroyed when terrorists struck the tower, and the company lost two-thirds of its New York workforce. Lutnick was not in the office but his brother Gary was killed.

The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund run by Lutnick’s sister Edie was established to aid the families of Cantor employees lost on Sept. 11 but its scope has since expanded to include scores of charities around the world.

Each year on Sept. 11 the company donates the day’s revenues to charity and employees donate their day’s pay. The effort raised $12 million last September.

“We wanted to have a way that we could memorialize those that we lost in a way that was positive, and to do good things,” Edie Lutnick said.

She said that when Sandy hit the region last October the relief fund immediately wanted to help. The schools selected for aid are in areas where Cantor employees live or have other connections.

“We’re really excited that we have the opportunity to help the families from these 19 schools to let them know that communities matter and that we care,” Edie Lutnick said.

The Lutnicks joined Sen. Charles Schumer, Rep. Gregory Meeks and other officials at the Far Rockaway school to hand out the first cash cards.

Both New York Democrats praised Cantor Fitzgerald but also used the occasion to press for timely federal aid.

Meeks urged the House to pass the relief bill on Jan. 15. “It is something that is long overdue and it shouldn’t be complicated,” he said.

Schumer said the federal government should be “as generous, as caring and as thoughtful as Cantor Fitzgerald.”

Cantor Fitzgerald has been affected by Sandy itself. The firm moved its headquarters to midtown after the 2001 attacks but had more than 500 employees at an office on Water Street in lower Manhattan when the storm flooded the area. They relocated to Cantor’s other offices, Howard Lutnick said. The Water Street site has still not reopened.

Can San Andreas break at once? Study says maybe LOS ANGELES (AP) — Certain earthquake fault segments long thought to be stable may rupture and cause a mega-quake, suggests a new study that could have implications for California’s mighty San Andreas.

That’s what happened during the 2011 magnitude-9 quake in Japan that triggered a tsunami and during the 1999 magnitude-7.6 Chi Chi quake in

Taiwan.

In both cases, scientists assumed that “creeping” sections of a fault would serve as a buffer and prevent the entire fault from unzipping. But a new study published online Wednesday in the journal Nature suggests this may not always be the case.

Combining computer modeling and fieldwork, researchers at the California Institute of

Technology and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology found that creeping segments sometimes snapped, resulting in a bigger quake than anticipated.

This may provide insight to future quakes along the San Andreas Fault, which has a creeping section that separates the locked segments in Northern California and Southern California.

Scientists previously theorized that a wall-towall San Andreas quake may be possible, though that’s still under debate.

Caltech geophysicist Nadia Lapusta told the Los Angeles Times that the San Andreas may not necessarily behave exactly like what computer models predict.

“Hopefully the creeping segment is such that it doesn’t have the propensity

for weakness. But without examining further, you can’t say,” she said.

More research may include drilling into rocks surrounding the fault to collect samples and examining a fault close to the surface. Scientists previously said California faces an almost certain risk of being rocked by a strong earthquake magnitude-6.7 or higher by 2037. The odds of such an event are higher

in Southern California than Northern California.

U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Kenneth Hudnut told the Times it was unlikely that a quake would race through the middle section of the San Andreas.

If a mega-quake occurred, it would place a burden on emergency responders, said Hudnut, who had no role in the research.

105 Announcements

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Vikings remain in control of CCC Staff Reports TROY — When he returned to Troy Christian this season, Dick Steineman had a plan.

It’s already paying off for the Eagles.

Troy Christian (11-3, 4-1 Metro Buckeye Conference) was simply too much for Dayton Christian to handle Thursday night, holding the Warriors to a

mere three field goals in a 49-10 victory.

“We set a goal to have a winning season this year and start to change the culture,” Steineman said. “For some of the seniors, I was their fourth head coach in the last four years. But they’ve bought into my plan, and we’re seeing some results.”

And when it comes to these Eagles, everybody pitches in.

MIAMI COUNTY “We have good athletes and are about nine people deep,” Steineman said. “We keep running them in and out so our legs stay fresh. We have a rule that no one plays more than three or four minutes at a time, and the kids buy into that.”

It showed in the scoring, too, as no Eagles hit double digits in the win. Amanda Benjamin led

the way with nine points, Amanda Slone added eight and Lydia Demmitt had eight points, six rebounds and six steals.

Becca Lybarger led the team with 10 rebounds and Jordane Varvel had six steals.

“Our rebounding and pressure defense overwhelmed an undermanned Dayton Christian team,” Steineman said.

Browns hire new coach CLEVELAND (AP) — Rob Chudzinski’s first head coaching job will be with the team he loved as a kid.

Chudzinski, who spent the past two seasons as Carolina’s offensive coordinator, has been hired by the Cleveland Browns as their sixth full-time coach since 1999.

T h e Browns are hoping the first-time head coach can end years of despair and constant losing and maybe resurrect a fran- CHUDZINSKI chise that has made just one trip to the playoffs in the past 14 years.

A Browns spokesman confirmed Chudzinski’s hiring Thursday night and said he will be introduced at a news conference on Friday.

Xavier snaps skid CINCINNATI (AP) — Another double-digit lead was slipping away. Point guard Dee Davis was at a hospital getting X-rays. Xavier appeared to be headed for another glum ending.

Gritty defense and just enough free throws made this one turn out different.

Travis Taylor made a pair of free throws with 11 seconds to go, and Xavier ended its longest losing streak in 31 years by beating Temple 57-52 on Thursday night despite missing its invaluable point guard.

Davis hurt his left wrist in a pile-up with 7:15 left in the first half and went for X-rays. He returned with a minute to go and missed a pair of free throws, but got the final rebound.

“It’s not broken,” coach Chris

Mack said. “Beyond that, I don’t know. I think he sprained a ligament. We’ll find out a little more over the next 24 hours. It’s not broken, so I don’t think surgery will be required.”

Xavier (8-6, 1-0 Atlantic 10) wore its special gray uniforms, trying to snap a four-game losing streak. It was the Musketeers’ deepest slump since they dropped seven straight during the 1981-82 season.

They’ve led during the second half in five of their six losses. Three times, they let double-digit leads slip away down the stretch, done in by turnovers, fouls and missed shots.

They finally broke the pattern.

“Just an unreal feeling,” said AP PHOTO Taylor, who had 11 points and 10 Xavier forward Jeff Robinson (21) shoots over Temple forward Anthony Lee (7) Thursday in Cincinnati. rebounds.

Officials urge witness cooperation in football rape case COLUMBUS (AP) — Students withholding information about an alleged rape in eastern Ohio last summer are thwarting investigators, school officials said Thursday, as the FBI looks into threats to local authorities who are working on the case against two high school football players.

The Steubenville school board is also expanding programs to raise further awareness of sexual harassment, bullying, date rape and substance abuse in the

wake of the incident in August in which the two high school football players are accused of raping a 16year-old girl.

The district said in a statement it is lining up training programs for faculty, staff, parents and students, with “targeted sessions” for student-athletes.

The statement said officials were troubled to learn police were having difficulty getting cooperation from witnesses.

“By remaining silent,

witnesses thwart the work of investigators which may ultimately prevent justice from being served,” the statement said.

Recent events persuaded the board to release the statement, Superintendent Mike McVey said. That includes the release earlier this month of a 12-minute video in which a student jokes about the accuser, with other people heard in the background chiming in.

An attorney for the student seen in the video has

said the student regrets the comments.

Online messages have targeted individuals and authorities in Steubenville amid increased attention to the rape charges against the football players. City authorities have launched a website to combat misperceptions about the case, including the allegation that the football team has an unusual sway over the city of about 18,000.

Steubenville police Chief William McCafferty said he

was checking work email at his office Wednesday when he opened a message and his computer was disabled.

McCafferty said the email was one in a series he’s received from someone claiming to be a hacker angry at others who have been critical of law enforcement’s handling of the case.

McCafferty said the emailer had been sending directions in attachments for how to get back at the group.

McCafferty said he never opened any attachments but

his computer was disabled anyway. The FBI has a copy of the email, said McCafferty, who also has stopped using his home computer for fear of being hacked. On Wednesday afternoon, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said he was advised of a Facebook threat by an anonymous poster that named his family. The post also included death threats against other law enforcement officials and Steubenville individuals.

“At the Troy Invitational, he was in for third or fourth place, and in the last 10 seconds the guy took him down to win,” Covington coach Tom Barbee said. “He’s got to wrestle to win and stay with it. He’s getting better, and he knows he’s got to finish those matches.”

It came during a big stretch for the Buccaneers, too. After Miami East — which knocked off Troy 4930 in the first dual of the night — took a 23-18 lead, Covington ran off seven straight wins to close out a 54-23 win to sweep the quad. Tippecanoe — which Covington beat 52-23 to start off the night — then lost to the Trojans 59-24 in the consolation match.

Arguably the most competitive matches of the night came in the first round of the quad, though — particularly the one between Smith and Peura.

With Smith holding a 4-2 lead, Peura scored a reversal and three near-fall points in the final 15 seconds to surprise Smith 7-4.

“Jack is relentless,” Tippecanoe coach Jordan Krebs said. “He’s suffered a couple of setbacks this past week. He was sick, and I think that rattled him a little. Tonight’s win was huge for his confidence. Brock’s a tough kid, a great kid and a great wrestler.”

But Smith made sure there was no more waiting in his second match of the night, sticking a pin with 35.9 seconds left in the first period.

“It feels great,” Smith said. “It’s like a big burden was lifted. Now I can just keep moving forward.”

The match before that, Ryan Ford (132) won a 156 major decision to bring Covington within one at 23-22, and Smith’s pin put the Buccs up for good.

Daniel Jennings (152) won a 10-7 decision, then Jake Sowers (152, two pins), Kyler Deeter (160, two pins) and Ben Miller (170, two pins) all scored pins, with A.J. Ouellette (182, two tech. falls) closing it out with 17-2 tech. fall.

But Barbee — whose Buccs have won this quad often in the past few years — wouldn’t go so far to say they’re dominating the meet.

“We’re winning, and we’re pleased to be able to do so,” he said. “We’ve got four seniors on the team, and that’s important. The other schools are all pretty young, so we’ve got the upper hand right now.

We’re not dominating.

We’re working hard.”

Miami East’s Allen Seagraves attempts to get control of Troy’s Zayne Davidson Thursday night.

Troy’s Mason Perkins shoots in on Miami East’s Stephen Morrow Thursday night.

“The cream rose to the top,” Miami East coach Jason Sroufe said. “We held tough for a while. But when you’re giving up six — pins, majors, tech. falls — those kill you in a dual meet.

“This is the first time we’ve seen Covington head-to-head. We knew they were tough coming in.

But they’re in our sectional and our state dual meet bracket, so now we know what we’ll face.”

The host Trojans also had an up-and-down night.

A couple of clutch pins —

one by Mason Perkins (126) and another by Brandon Lee (152) — kept them in the dual against Miami East, down 39-30 with two matches to go.

“Mason winning wasn’t a surprise, but the pin was,” Troy coach Doug Curnes said. “He came out in front of the home crowd and shined. We called that a morale pin — the team was looking for something big, and he gave us what we needed.”

But a pin by Danny O’Malley (160) mathematically eliminated Troy, and

a 13-8 major decision by Aaron Hubbard (170) closed things out.

“We saw a little bit of all three tonight — the good, the bad and the ugly,” Curnes said. “We don’t see it as a loss to a Division III team or a win against a Division II one. These are all good teams. If you’ve got a solid lineup 106-285, you can compete with anyone in any division.

Kevin McGraw (182) also was 2-0 for Troy, with a pin in his first match and a 16-0 tech. fall against Tippecanoe in Troy’s last match of the night. Alex Dalton (285), Shane Love (106), Perkins, senior Logan Schlosser (160) and Cam Kauflin (170) all also scored pins against a weary Tippecanoe team.

“We’re all sick and beat up,” Krebs said. “We go to a tournament at Lima Senior this weekend which we traditionally wrestle well at. Tuesday or Thursday we should have some of our key guys back, and we’ll be able to get back to basics and get back our confidence.”

Tippecanoe’s Eric Seaman (113) won a 15-0 tech. fall against Covington and scored a pin against Troy, Mitchell Poynter (120) was 2-0 with a pin, as well, and Logan Ferrell (285) won a 6-2 decision against Covington.

Miami East’s Josh Morrow (106) won an 11-0 major decision against Troy, Matthew Amheiser (113) and Allen Seagraves (120) both went 2-0, Stephen Morrow (126) picked up a win against Covington, and Austin Rush (132), Mack Rose (145) and Dalton Loughman (195) also picked up wins against Troy.

■ National Football League

Browns ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 tory. For the past two years, the 44-year-old has worked with talented Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

Chudzinski has had two previous stints with the Browns as an assistant coach. He coached tight ends for Butch Davis in 2004, and then came back to the Browns in 2007 and was Cleveland’s offensive coordinator for two seasons under Romeo Crennel.

Chudzinski grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where he pulled for the Browns.

Chudzinski interviewed with the team on Wednesday, and was

viewed by many to be a longshot for the job.

However, he wowed owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner during his meeting and the team decided to give him the job after interviewing at least eight other candidates.

The Browns have been searching for a coach since firing Pat Shurmur on Dec. 31 following a 5-11 season.

Under Chudzinski, the Panthers finished fifth in total offense in 2011 and 12th last season.

Last year, Chudzinski interviewed for head coaching jobs with St. Louis, Jacksonville and Tampa Bay before returning to Carolina.

Pete Rose preaches patience to tarnished stars LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pete Rose recently went to Cooperstown to film an episode of his upcoming reality television show. His fiance got choked up when baseball’s career hits leader had to watch the Parade of Legends and other Hall of Fame festivities as just another face in the crowd.

Rose doesn’t share Kiana Kim’s disappointment in his continued banishment from baseball, but he hopes he can provide a few lessons in patience to the rest of his sport’s tarnished super-

stars.

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes,” Rose said Thursday over lunch in Sherman Oaks. “I’m in no hurry, unless you know something I don’t know. You just have to try to be a productive citizen and live your life, and hopefully someday somebody calls you and says, ‘Hey, we want to give you a second chance.’ I won’t need a third, and believe me, nobody is going to find me betting on baseball.

What’s that old clich? I don’t bet on baseball because I

know too much about it.”

The 71-year-old Rose, nattily attired in a tan hat and a colorful striped shirt with “Hit King” embroidered on the collar, says he’s “a little sad” nobody was elected to the Hall of Fame on Wednesday.

Yet Rose sees both sides of the Hall debate: Although he’s a friend of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and every star of baseball’s Steroids Era, Rose also says anything that artificially alters the game’s statistics shouldn’t be

praised or honored.

And if a player linked to steroid use ever broke Rose’s record of 4,256 hits, Charlie Hustle would object vehemently.

“I don’t know who did what, and I really don’t care,” Rose said. “All I can tell you is if there’s drugs involved, the most sacred thing in baseball is the stats. We’ve been taking stats since 1869 … and whenever you do something that can alter the statistics of the game, it’s not good for the game.”

Rose wonders what Babe Ruth or Roger Maris would have to say about Bonds, Sosa and Mark McGwire being kept out of the Hall.

“Because those were the records that were assaulted, not mine,” Rose said. “Not my record. If someone came up with 4,257 hits and was linked to steroids, I’d have a lot to say. If I’d have took steroids, I’d have got 5,000 hits, so it wouldn’t have been fair.”

Rose reserved his greatest praise for Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza, saying

both players should have easily gained first-ballot Hall admission from their offensive statistics. Rose also stumped for Dave Parker and Jim Kaat.

“I think everybody got caught up in the steroid situation and forgot” about Biggio and Piazza, Rose said.

Rose treads more lightly around first-time nominees Bonds, Clemens and Sosa, warmly praising all three while still reserving full endorsement of their Hall worthiness.
