Commissioners reorganize board Staff report

Hopes fade as prison turns 10 Suleiman al-Nahdi waits with dozens of other prisoners in a seemingly permanent state of limbo five years after he was cleared for release from Guantanamo Bay. “I wonder if the U.S. government wants to keep us here forever,” the 37-year-old al-Nahdi wrote in a recent letter to his lawyers. Open for 10 years today, the prison seems more established than ever. The deadline set by President Barack Obama to close Guantanamo came and went two years ago.

Running in place In the Bengals’ biggest game, running back Cedric Benson was a bystander. The Bengals gave their top runner only seven carries during a 31-10 playoff loss in Houston, one that highlighted a huge problem they must fix if they want to get back to the postseason. At the most important times, Cincinnati (9-8) couldn’t run the ball. The Bengals got away from the run and let quarterback Andy Dalton throw the ball more down the stretch, showing confidence in their emerging rookie.

With Miami County Commissioners entering a new year with hopeful optimism, commissioners reorganized their board at an annual meeting Monday. During their annual re-organizational meeting, the commission elected John “Bud” O’Brien as president and the newest commissioner, Richard Cultice, to the position of vice president. Cultice was appointed to the commission’s post in May of last

TROY year after the board’s former president and longtime commissioner, Ron Widener, stepped down at the end of last March. Commissioner Jack Evans is the third member on the commission and has held both commission positions in the past. All three commissioners are Republicans and O’Brien also is the chairman of the Miami County Republican Party.

Also at the meeting, commissioners were assigned to various boards and committees that they will serve on during 2012. Likewise, the board set the times and days of their meetings, which remain unchanged from previous years. The board meets at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, respectively, and holds weekly work sessions at 9 a.m. each Wednesday. Last month, commissioners approved the 2012 appropriations

and managed to balance the 2011 budget in the process. Based on financial projections related to estimated revenue, carryover balance and anticipated expenditures, the commissioners approved general fund appropriations for this year at $25.48 million, which represents an increase over last year’s budget by about $1.4 million. Meanwhile, the 2012 appropriations for all county funds, including the general fund, were set at $91.58 million.

Cigarettes stolen from Owl Drugs Staff Report

WEST MILTON

A carrier dropping off early morning newspapers saw broken glass in front of Owl Drugs on the morning of Jan. 9. Upon inspection, West Milton Police officers found someone had broken a glass side panel next to the outside door, then broke another glass door

between the foyer and the store at 1165 S. Miami Street. Reports indicate it appeared the actual pharmacy area was not entered. At this point, it appears the only thing stolen was about 20 cartons of cigarettes.

PERSPECTIVE

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP

Romney still blessed by packed GOP field MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Mitt Romney is cruising in the Republican presidential contest, blessed by five rivals who continue to attack each other and divide the anti-Romney vote rather than produce a single strong alternative. That dynamic allowed Romney to stand and smile during long stretches of two televised debates this weekend, while the others ripped one another. With his opposition so diffuse, the former Massachusetts governor has a chance to do something that once seemed improbable: win the South Carolina primary Jan. 21, which would make him the prohibitive favorite for the nomination Time is running out for staunch conservatives, who have viewed Romney with suspicion, to settle on someone. The crowded field helped Romney to a whisker-thin victory this past week in Iowa, although his plurality was modest. He long has been favored to win Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, so his critics hope South Carolina will stop his momentum. Romney’s Mormonism and past support of abortion rights might hurt him among South Carolina’s evangelical voters. Iowa wasn’t considered an ideal fit for Romney, either, yet the stars aligned for him. It might happen again. Texas Gov. Rick Perry flirted with dropping out after his poor showing in Iowa, but he stayed in. So did former House Speaker Newt Gingrich despite a disappointing fourth-place finish. No one expected former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum to drop out after he essentially tied Romney in Iowa. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas runs a libertarian-oriented campaign that almost stands apart, drawing thousands of devotees who say they won’t support any nominee except the congressman. Meanwhile, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who skipped Iowa, is trying hard in New Hampshire. The upshot is that the not-Romney sentiment remains dispersed among five rivals. The benefit to Romney was vivid in Saturday night’s debate, when Paul engaged in long, heated exchanges with Santorum and Gingrich, as if they had conceded the race to Romney and were fighting for second. Perry seemed almost an afterthought. “Romney did everything he wanted and got out of there without anyone giving him a hard time,” said a delighted John Sununu, the former New Hampshire governor who backs Romney. In Sunday’s debate, Gingrich and Santorum seemed to realize that Romney had gotten off too easy the night before. Gingrich asked Romney to stop the “pious baloney” of claiming he’s not a lifelong politician, noting that Romney extended his time in business by losing a Senate race in 1994 and a presidential bid in 2008. Gingrich, citing news reports, said a corporate takeover firm once headed by Romney “looted a company, leaving behind 1,700 unemployed people.” Santorum attacked Romney’s conservative convictions. “We want someone who’s going to stand up and fight for the conservative principles,” he said, “and not run to the left of Ted Kennedy,” the late Democratic senator who beat Romney in 1994. Romney defended himself and counter-punched a bit. But the fireworks soon moved to Santorum’s offensive against Paul. Romney watched contentedly, like a football coach running out the clock with a solid lead. It’s still possible for Romney to lose the nomination. But it won’t happen unless one rival consolidates the opposition vote and sends the others home.

LETTERS The Anniston Star on hazing: Hazing is a chameleon activity: one minute it can be harmless, the next minute it can be hazardous, or worse. The centuries-old practice still draws strong rebukes and surprising defenses from those who think it’s more about tradition than foul play. Our view: hazing is no joke. It is disappointing that news of an alleged incident has marred this holiday sea-

son at Jacksonville State University. Tight-lipped university officials acknowledged that a fraternity had been suspended and an investigation had started into an alleged offcampus hazing in November. Sam Monk, acting general counsel for JSU, told The Star that one victim was treated at Regional Medical Center, and another was taken to UAB Hospital. In an odd bit of timing, recent hazing incidents at Florida A&M University and

within the U.S. Army have returned this unseemly topic to national prominence. Among the most serious findings: More than half — 55 percent — of U.S. students involved in clubs, teams or organizations have experienced hazing; 47 percent come to college having already experiencing hazing; and excessive drinking is involved in hazing more than any other method. Let’s call hazing what it is: a tradition that should be stopped.

DOONESBURY

My hero has left her mark on many Hero. Champion. Precedent setter. Legend. Each of these words apply to Pat Head Summitt — the winningest coach in NCAA basketball. Summitt is so many things to so many people. Not only in my opinion is she the best basketball coach ever, she is a mother, a friend, a confidant, and most importantly in my life — my hero. Summitt is one of the thousands of reasons I chose to go to the University of Tennessee and why Rocky Top will always feel like home. She is one of those people that treats everyone like family, everyone like a friend, but will discipline you to get you where you need to be. I always wanted to be a Lady Vol so that I could be under her mentorship. When I was in seventh grade I was lucky enough to get to go to one of her camps, stay on campus and fall in love with all that is UT. I remember the first time I finally saw her in person. Our team was walking from Thompson Boling Arena to our dorm. She was standing on the corner of the street talking to a group of people. Our coach at the time decided it was best not to bother her. I was still waiting for my opportunity to meet the coach that drove me to be a better basketball player, a better all around athlete (even though I was never a top notch athlete) and a better person.

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist Finally, at the end of the week, I got to meet her. I cried, and of course everyone made fun of me. But when you finally meet someone like Summitt in person — someone who has inspired you and filled you with so much hope — how can you not? She was so wonderful. Six years after that meeting I again got to shake Summitt’s hand. My mom and dad came to visit and were with me and of course laughed, as I shook from being so nervous and excited. And yes, I cried again. After a doctor’s visit and some physical tests, one of my favorite UT leaders, Dr. Rebecca Morgan, told me I should not continue rowing after I had officially become a Lady Vol. I was devastated, but she did everything she could to help me hold on to my dream of being a Lady Vol. She called a few of her friends and invited me to try out to be a manager for the Lady Vols basketball team. At

that time my heart flew through the roof. I went to a practice and realized that it wasn’t for me, but the idea of it all was great. I still was able to work with the team in a way when I became a photographer and later the photo editor of the UT newspaper. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to fly to Oklahoma City with the team to cover the tournament. To this day it is one of my favorite memories. Beyond all of my encounters with Coach Summitt, from receiving my first autograph, shaking hands with her at a soccer game and getting a thank you on the plane home from Oklahoma City after covering the tournament, and getting pizza from her in the front lines of the student section, what is left for me is the affect that she will forever have on my life. Summitt sees the impact she has made on her players, the growth, the change in their skills, the difference in their stature. What she doesn’t see is the affect she has on little dreamers like this one from Ohio. This girl is one that read all of Summitt’s books, had Lady Vol team pictures taped up in her basketball lockers and all of her keys to life built into her daily life. I was crushed when I heard the news of Summitt’s diagnosis of early onset dementia prior to the start of the season. While it was sad news, I immediately had the same response

in Ohio that everyone had in Knoxville. She’ll keep going, it’s who she is and what she is about. She loves it too much not too. She has approached the diagnosis the same way she does each game, with determination and grit. She is starting a program to raise money for Alzheimer’s research and is continuing to coach the way she always has. With nearly four decades, a 1,083202 record, eight NCAA championships, and 12 Olympians under her lead, among many other accolades, she has definitely left her mark on the world of basketball and beyond. She’s had the cover of ESPN magazine, she is known for her court side aggression and determination. But to me, lil’ ole’ Katie Yantis in Ohio, she is known for the kindness that’s behind all the tough discipline and the difference she makes in so many lives of girls just like me. Coach Summitt, thank you for your courage, determination, kindness and love to all of the girls dreaming to wear the orange and white, all UT students and everyone who watch you every chance they get. Thank you for teaching me to take on life with excitement and determination.

A Piqua man will spend nine months in prison and another three without driving privileges following a half-hour police chase in September involving officers from four different jurisdictions. A judge handed down the sentence Monday. Dustin R. Jones, 26, of Piqua, was given the sentence by Judge Christopher Gee, who also imposed a mandatory term of JONES three years on post-release control after Jones serves his prison sentence. Gee issued the punishment despite a jointly recommended sentence of community control sanctions in the case following a change of plea hearing held Nov. 29 where Jones entered a guilty plea for a felony charge of failure to comply with a police officer. Authorities say that on Sept. 18, Jones led authorities on the chase that started and ended in Piqua during a

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Try using compassion dealing with your father Dear Annie: I am increasingly disgusted by my dad. He is obese and getting bigger, and he won't (can't?) stop eating. He and my mother recently stayed in our home for a long weekend. When we went out for breakfast, Dad ordered enough food to feed three people — steak, eggs, hash browns, toast, and biscuits and gravy. He ate all of that and half of my son's pancakes. His main topic of conversation during breakfast was what we would eat the following day. It is like he is addicted to a drug. Even when he orders a salad, he drenches it in so much creamy dressing that it negates the health benefits. At night, he raids the kitchen. He ate so many of my kids' lunch snacks that I started storing them in the bottom cabinets, since he can't bend over to reach them. He also cannot cut his own toenails and gets winded playing with his grandchildren. I already have suggested that he start taking little walks, but he insists he has genetically bad knees — as opposed to having bad knees from the extra 200 pounds he carries around. He recently had open-heart surgery to replace a bad valve and claimed the same genetic excuse. He has damaged my couch, and I had to replace two patio chairs. He was offended when I asked him not to sit on the more delicate furniture since it has a 250pound weight limit. I know my mom is disgusted, too, but Dad is incredibly stubborn. I think he also has been depressed since my brother died in Afghanistan. But Dad is eating himself to death. Just being in his presence now irritates the daylights out of me. What are we to do? — Disgusted by the Glutton Dear Disgusted: Dad already feels worthless, so instead of anger and disgust, try compassion. You are right about this being a form of addiction, which means it is extremely hard for Dad to control his food cravings. We think you will have better luck working on his depression, which can interfere with his willingness to become healthier. Enlist your mother's help to encourage Dad to see his doctor about the possibility of medication. Dear Annie: I have not trusted my husband since a family member told me he was cheating on me with a girl he knew before we married. The other night, he was a little drunk and said he never had to hide having sex with someone until he got married. When I asked for an explanation, he claimed to be "just messing" with me. We've been married a long time and have grown kids and grandkids. I still wonder who he's with when he is out late. A few years ago, I was certain he was seeing another woman, and when I yelled, "I hope it was good," he screamed, "It sure was!" Then he said there was no one else and he simply wanted to hurt me. It worked. I no longer feel the same way about him. I'm tired of being told I have a problem, but I don't intend to leave at this late date. What do you think? — S.P. Dear S.P.: If you are going to stay with a man you don't trust, you need to separate yourself emotionally from his behavior. Consider him a wayward child, and occupy yourself with activities that make you happy. Perhaps when you stop paying attention to his nocturnal wanderings, he'll lose interest in them, as well. Dear Annie: I have a solution for "Noisy Dog Next Door," whose neighbors' guard dog is kept outside and barks all night long. If the dog barks at 2 a.m., I suggest they phone the neighbors at 4 a.m. to let them know their dog woke them up two hours earlier. A few calls like that should take care of the problem. — Sevierville, Tenn. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Senior citizens should avoid these foods Dear Readers: Did you know there are certain FOODS seniors should avoid because of health risks? According to the Food and Drug Administration website (www.fda.gov), if you are a senior or care for a senior, you might not realize that you need to be extra cautious about: • Raw sprouts, such as alfalfa, clover and radishes. • Refrigerated pâtés or meat spreads. • Refrigerated smoked seafood, unless it is an ingredient in a cooked dish like a casserole.

Hints from Heloise Columnist • Raw or unpasteurized milk and soft cheeses like feta, brie, Camembert and Mexican-style (which I love!). • Raw or lightly cooked egg, or egg products containing raw eggs, such as salad dressings, cookie or cake batter, sauces or drinks like

eggnog. • Hot dogs and luncheon meats, unless they are reheated to steaming-hot. • Unpasteurized or untreated fruit or vegetable juice. Additionally, no raw meat, poultry, raw fin fish or shellfish should be consumed. You can go to the FDA’s website (or ask your healthcare provider for suggestions) for more important information on food safety for everyone in your household! — Heloise P.S.: More fun facts are on

my Twitter and Facebook pages. Please go to www. Heloise.com for the easy links. COOKING HINT Dear Heloise: I buy three pounds or more of ground beef and cook it all, making sure to break it up using a fork. I add chopped onion and green peppers, then put it into small containers and freeze. Later, this can be added to sauces for pasta and chili. Makes a fast, instant meal! — Martha in Ohio

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012 Something you’ve always treated as a simple hobby could become a paying endeavor in the year ahead. Of course, it’s going to require marketing expertise and knowledge of just how to spread the word. If you don’t have the goods, find someone who does. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t let too much time elapse before correcting a business arrangement that needs some readjustment. The calendar isn’t your ally, and you could lose out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Consistency is a must if you hope to achieve an important objective. If you do things in fits and starts, it might look impressive but could prove to be completely unproductive. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Make every effort to perform a distasteful assignment properly, the first time around. If you don’t, you’ll only drag it out by having to rework it over and over until you get it right. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — There may be a good reason why companions will resist using your methods or procedures to accomplish a joint endeavor. Before getting upset, find out why they are opposed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You shouldn’t have any trouble achieving your goals, but you could have a problem going after something that you think you want but really don’t. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Just because someone has a title, it doesn’t automatically make him or her smarter than you. Don’t be intimidated by rank or position — look deeply at the substance of the individual. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Although everything might not be optimum or exactly as you’d like, things in general should go rather well for you. Be grateful for whatever you can accomplish or achieve. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The only way you’re going to get any concessions from others is to first show that you’re prepared to make some compromises yourself. It’s a give-and-take world we live in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Unless duties and responsibilities are equally distributed among co-workers, friction could quickly arise. In a perfect world, each person would see how much she or he could do, not how little they can get away with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A friend won’t appreciate it if you make light of his or her problems, because the matter is extremely serious to them. Treat it with a great deal of sensitivity and concern. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Do what you can, and don’t expect anything from yourself that you know you won’t be able to deliver. If your hopes and expectations are unrealistic, you’ll be asking for disappointment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’re not likely to have much luck trying to sell something that you don’t believe in, because your apathy will show. Don’t try to peddle an item that you think is worthless. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Jan. 11, the 11th day of 2012. There are 355 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 11, 1942, Japan declared war against the Netherlands, the same day that Imperial Japanese forces invaded the Dutch East Indies. On this date: • In 1759, the first American life insurance corporation, for “poor and distressed” Presbyterian ministers and their widows and children, was chartered in Philadelphia.

• In 1964, U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued the first government report that said smoking may be hazardous to one’s health. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Rod Taylor is 82. Actor Mitchell Ryan is 78. Actor Felix Silla is 75. Movie director Joel Zwick is 70. Country singer Naomi Judd is 66. World Golf Hall of Famer Ben Crenshaw is 60. Musician Vicki Peterson (The Bangles) is 54. Singer Mary J. Blige is 41. Actress Amanda Peet is 40. Actor Rockmond Dunbar is 39.

• 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 1913, the first sedan-type automobile, a Hudson, went on display at the 13th National Automobile Show in New York. • 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.

Guantanamo closure hopes fade as prison turns 10

In this Nov. 19, 2008 file photo, reviewed by the U.S. Military, a detainee sleeps in his cell in Camp 5 detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base in Cuba.

mix that turned out to range from hard-core alQaida members to hapless bystanders. Al-Nahdi seems to be in the middle. He was detained because he attended an al-Qaidalinked training camp in Afghanistan but he was not accused of any specific attacks on U.S. forces. The military classified him as a “low level” mujahedeen who could be transferred out of Guantanamo, where he has been held since June 2002. The first prisoners, brought to the base shackled and hooded and clad in bright orange jumpsuits, were kept in outdoor cages and interrogated in wooden huts when they arrived on Jan. 11, 2002. With detainees later kept in steel mesh cells, the population grew to nearly 700 by mid2003.

U.S. wants to release 32 but hasn’t, largely because of congressional restrictions, and 57 men from Yemen, like al-Nahdi, aren’t being charged but the government won’t let them go because their country is unstable. “There is not a thing keeping them from going home except that our clever government is waiting for conditions to improve in Yemen, where they have only deteriorated,” said John Chandler, a lawyer based in Atlanta, Georgia, who represents al-Nahdi. Few expected Guantanamo to reach this milestone. The prison, which occupies a portion of the 45square-mile (115-squarekilometer) U.S. base at the southeastern corner of Cuba, started as an impromptu place to hold men scooped up at the start of the Afghanistan war, a

idea of indefinite detention for the duration of some undefined hostilities.” White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday that Obama still wants to close Guantanamo because “it’s the right thing to do for our national secu-

rity interest,” a view that he says is shared by senior members of the military. He noted President George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, while running for president in 2008, also supported closing the prison. “The commitment that the president has to closing Guantanamo Bay is as firm today as it was during the campaign … I think this is a process that faces obstacles that we’re all aware of and we will continue to work through them,” Carney said. Today, Guantanamo holds 171 prisoners and it’s an odd mix. Thirty-six await trial on war crimes charges, including the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks. There are 46 in indefinite detention as men the U.S. considers dangerous but who cannot be charged for lack of evidence or other reasons. The

Tuesday, adding that such actions are “not uncommon” at Guantanamo. Human rights groups and lawyers for prisoners are dismayed that Obama not only failed to overcome resistance in Congress and close the prison, but that his administration has resumed military tribunals at the base and continues to hold men like al-Nahdi who have been cleared for release. Critics are also angry over the president’s Dec. 31 signing of the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision allowing indefinite military detention without trial. “Now, we have Guantanamo forever signed into law,” said Andrea Prasow, senior counterterrorism counsel for Human Rights Watch. “Instead of pushing forward with the agenda of closure, he has accepted the

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Suleiman al-Nahdi waits with dozens of other prisoners in a seemingly permanent state of limbo five years after he was cleared for release from Guantanamo Bay. “I wonder if the U.S. government wants to keep us here forever,” the 37-yearold al-Nahdi wrote in a recent letter to his lawyers. Open for 10 years today, the prison seems more established than ever. The deadline set by President Barack Obama to close Guantanamo came and went two years ago. No detainee has left in a year because of restrictions on transfers, and indefinite military detention is now enshrined in U.S. law. The 10th anniversary will be the subject of demonstrations in London and Washington. Prisoners at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba plan to mark the day with sit-ins, banners and a refusal of meals, said Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who represents seven inmates. “They would like to send a message that the prisoners of Guantanamo still reject the injustice of their imprisonment,” said Kassem, a law professor at the City University of New York. Prisoners informed the guards in advance that they would be conducting peaceful protests to mark the anniversary, Navy Cmdr. Tamsen Reese, a spokeswoman for the detention center, said

Bulldogs struggle to score Milton falls 51-36 at Dixie Staff Reports NEW LEBANON — Caleb Poland was the lone Bulldog in double figures Tuesday night as Dixie almost held Milton-Union to a season-low in a 51-36 loss on the road in Southwestern League Buckeye Buckeye Division play.

MIAMI COUNTY Poland scored 11 points and Josh Wheeler and David Karns each added eight. Mike Smiley led Dixie with 13 points, John Isaacs scored 12 and Luke Bowling added 10.

The wrong position

Trojans wipe out Wave

Red Devils split Fairmont snaps Troy’s 6-game winning streak with Knights Staff Reports

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

The Troy boys team (15-2, 12-2 GWOC) posted a 2,636-2,095 win, while the Trojan girls (14-3, 12-2 GWOC) outscored Greenville by a 2,310-1,778 count.

MIAMI COUNTY

KETTERING Jared Sierra almost reach perfection again for Troy, but had to settle for a 299 game — the second for the Trojans this season — after hanging a 10 pin on the final ball of the first game.

No doubt about it Tide crushes Tigers, wins BCS title

Larkin elected to Hall of Fame Barry Larkin joined with Cal Ripken Jr. in transforming shortstop into a position for powerful bats, not just great gloves. Now he’s following Ripken into the Hall of Fame. The former Cincinnati Reds shortstop was chosen on 495 of 573 ballots (86 percent) in voting announced Monday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, well above the necessary 75 percent.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — As required, Alabama’s players whooped it up amid the confetti and fireworks, yet there was something muted about this championship celebration. Turns out, these guys knew the ending to the sequel before they even got to the Big Easy. For two months, the Crimson Tide stewed over its first meeting with top-ranked LSU. By the time the team touched down in New Orleans, there was little doubt in anyone’s mind about the outcome. Not just win, but dominate.

Boy, did they ever. With a smothering display of old-school football, No. 2 Alabama blew out the Tigers 210 in the BCS championship game Monday night, celebrated a bit and headed back to Tuscaloosa with its second national title in three years. Straight-laced coach Nick Saban accepted the trophies Tuesday morning and confessed that he might have savored it AP PHOTO more than the title two years ago Alabama head coach Nick Saban celebrates with his team after the in Pasadena, Calif.

Tipp splits ENON — Caitlin Wolff set a new school record for a series Tuesday — one of four Tippecanoe girls to set career-best series marks — as the Red Devil girls (9-1, 7-1 Central Buckeye Conference) knocked off Greenon with a season-best 2,544-2,327. The boys, meanwhile, were nipped by the Knights, unable to dig out of a big hole in a 2,6932,586 loss.

Troy’s Tyler Miller controls the ball Tuesday against Fairmont. ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “As painful as this may be, maybe we’ll learn a valuable lesson from this. It’s just too bad it had to get this far before we do.” Troy (7-2) was scoring an average of 72.6 points per game in its seven victories this season — six of which had came since a 5941 loss to Beavercreek in the season game of the year. And the last time Troy played at Trent Arena — in last year’s Flyin’ to the Hoop tournament — the Trojans made clutch play after clutch play to knock off Lee High School, one of Troy’s signature wins of the season. Troy made all the plays Tuesday night — but simply couldn’t make the shots. With Fairmont up 41-39 with a minute to go, Zach Martinez made a number outstanding move to get through the defense and to the rim — but the layup wouldn’t go down. Fairmont’s Jacob Roalef — who scored 10 of hish team-high 15 points in the fourth quarter — snagged the rebound and took it coast-to-coast to make it a four-point game. Troy then missed three decent looks at 3-pointers in a 30-second span before Martinez drove and dumped to Kirtz to make it a two-point game. Free throws made it a fourpoint game again before Kirtz canned his fifth 3 of the night to cut it to one. Roalef hit a pair of free throws with 12 seconds left to make it 47-44, but Kirtz was fouled shooting a 3 with 6.6 seconds on the clock. He hit the first two but missed the game-tying one — only to have May get the offensive rebound. May missed the putback, though, and Fairmont ended up gaining possession after a scramble that sent the ball out of bounds. “Cody makes a great play to get that rebound, and nine times out of 10 he makes that putback,” Miller said. “Martinez had a shot at a layup that nine out of 10 times he makes. But that’s just the way it went all night for us. We had lots of shots go down and come out. We didn’t make a lost of easy shots that we normally make.” Kirtz — in only his third start — led all scorers with 21 points and added five rebounds and two assists, while May added nine points and eight rebounds.

Troy’s Zach Martinez tries to work his way around Fairmont’s Jordan Glaser Tuesday night at Trent Arena. Phil Kidd 3-2-8, Jordan Miller hit two 3s and scored eight points and Martinez scored six points and had three assists. Aaron Abbott scored nine points and had seven rebounds for Fairmont (55), Phil Kidd scored eight points and four others scored four as the Firebirds kept the game’s pace at a crawl and only turned the ball over 10 times to Troy’s nine. “Fairmont played well. The kids have to understand that everyone is going to come hard at them every night,” Miller said. “They (Fairmont) wanted to grind it out. It was obvious they were holding the ball and trying to stall it out a little. But that has nothing to do with our ability or inability to get out and guard someone. “We had a lot of trouble stopping (Roalef) off the dribble in the fourth.” And while every shot in the game counted, it will be the memory of the final two that the Trojans carry with them into their next game — even though they need no extra motivation for that one.

The Vikings trailed Urbana 19-13 after one quarter, but Miami East (10-1) responded by outscoring its opponent 43-25 over the next three quarters. “We knew Trischa Lacy came in averaging about 24 points a game — and that she was coming off a game where she hit nine 3s,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We struggled finding her a bit early. She hit four 3s in that first quarter, and we got a little behind. “After that, our girls settled down and our bigs inside, Ashley and Trina Current, Leah Dunivan and Abby Cash, kind of took over.” Three Miami East players were in double figures, with Ashley Current scoring 16, Angie Mack netting 15 and Trina Current adding 11, while Cash added eight. “I thought the girls executed our gameplan well,” Elifritz said. “And

Dave Bolland and rookie Ben Smith also scored for Chicago. R.J. Umberger and Antoine Vermette had

BCS ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “To be honest with you, I think I maybe did,” said Saban, sporting a black sweater with patches of crimson on the shoulders and flanked by the hardware. “This team was a special team, not that the 2009 team was any different. It’s certainly an honor and privilege to be with a group that made the kind of commitment that you look for from a competitive character standpoint.” The Crimson Tide also claimed the top spot in the final Associated Press poll for the eighth time, tying Notre Dame for the most of any team in college football. Alabama was an overwhelming choice with 55 of 60 first-place votes. “We knew what we were capable of,” offensive lineman Barrett Jones said. “I guess that’s kind of arrogant, but it’s the way we felt. We felt like we were capable of dominating, and we did that.” Credit one of the greatest defenses in college football history, a bunch of NFL-ready players such as Courtney Upshaw and Dont’a Hightower who made sure LSU (13-1) never had a chance. When Jordan Jefferson dropped back to pass, he was swept under by a tide of crimson. When the LSU quarterback took off running, he must’ve felt like Alabama had a few extra players on the field. It sure seemed that way. “It feels like a nightmare,” Jefferson said. “We just didn’t get it done on offense. Some defenses have your number, and Alabama had our number.” LSU beat the Crimson Tide (12-1) in overtime on Nov. 5, a so-called Game of the Century that was roundly criticized as a dud because neither team scored a touchdown. The Rematch of the Century was next, after Alabama worked its way back up to second in the

Benson a bystander in Bengals’ playoff loss CINCINNATI (AP) — In the Bengals’ biggest game, running back Cedric Benson was a bystander. The Bengals gave their top runner only seven carries during a 31-10 playoff loss in Houston, one that highlighted a huge problem they must fix if they want to get back to the postseason. At the most important times, Cincinnati (9-8) couldn’t run the ball. The Bengals got away from the run and let quarterback Andy Dalton throw the ball more down the stretch, showing confidence in their emerging rookie. Cincinnati lost four of its last six games and was held under 20 points four times. Too often, the Bengals found themselves running in place. “We kind of went away from it,” Benson said. “There wasn’t a big emphasis on it throughout the week in preparation going into games, and we just kind of went away from it. It just kind of became unimportant.” It was apparent in the last two games. The Bengals went into their final regular-season game with a chance to clinch the AFC wild card by beating Baltimore at Paul Brown Stadium. Dalton had one of his most erratic games against the Ravens earlier in the season, throwing for 373 yards a club record for a rookie but also three interceptions. Benson got the ball only five times in the first half of the rematch and managed 10 yards as Cincinnati fell behind 17-3. The Bengals wound up throwing the ball 44 times and running it 24 times in a 24-16 loss. During the playoff loss in Houston a week later, it was more of the same. Benson ran five times in the first half for only 9 yards as Cincinnati fell behind 17-10.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson stands alone at the end of a wild card playoff game against the Houston Texans Saturday in Houston. He got it only two more times in the second half, when the Bengals ran six times in all and threw 24 times. Benson got the impression during practice leading up to late-season games that the run was being deemphasized. “I think it was more of a gameplan deal,” Benson said. “I don’t think it was the way the game was going or anything. It was just how they wanted to approach chasing after winning.” Left tackle Andrew Whitworth also noted a change in the offense as the season went along and Dalton and rookie receiver A.J. Green emerged as bigplay threats. Defenses focused on stopping the run and double-covering Green, leaving the Bengals to come up with other ways of moving the ball. They never did consistently. “I don’t think we had a tremendous amount of car-

■ Major League Baseball

Reds’ Larkin elected to MLB Hall of Fame NEW YORK (AP) Barry Larkin joined with Cal Ripken Jr. in transforming shortstop into a position for powerful bats, not just great gloves. Now he’s following Ripken into the Hall of Fame. The former Cincinnati Reds shortstop was chosen on 495 of 573 ballots (86 percent) in voting announced Monday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, well above the neces- LARKIN sary 75 percent. “When I think of Barry, I think of a steady, smart and terrific all-around player both at shortstop and at the plate,” Ripken said. “I wish we had played in the same league, but we were in 11 All-Star Games together and I always enjoyed being around him and talking baseball.” Larkin will be inducted July 22 in Cooperstown along with the late Ron Santo, elected last month by the Veterans Committee. “I’m just incredibly, incredibly moved by this whole experience and so humbled by the experience and so excited about being the newest member of the Hall of Fame,” he said on a conference call. His election came in the final year before the Steroids Era becomes the main focus in balloting. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, Craig Biggio and Curt Schilling are eligible for the first time next year. Jack Morris followed Larkin with 382 votes (67 percent), missing by 48 votes on his 13th try but up sharply from 54 percent last year. Morris, the ace of

three World Series winners, finished with 254 victories and was the winningest pitcher of the 1980s. His 3.90 ERA, however, is higher than that of any Hall of Famer. He has two chances left on the BBWAA ballot. Gil Hodges (63.4 percent in 1983) has the highest percentage among players who never gained election. Playing from 1986-04 all with his hometown Reds Larkin hit .295 with 198 home runs, 960 RBIs, 2,340 hits and 379 stolen bases. A 12-time All-Star, he won the 1995 NL MVP award, nine Silver Slugger trophies and three Gold Gloves. He helped the Reds win the 1990 World Series and in 1996 became the first shortstop to have 30 homers and 30 steals in a season. “Barry distinguished himself as a tremendous leader and a dominating player,” Reds great Johnny Bench said. “Winning a World Series and an MVP plus Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards puts him among the elite players in Reds history.” Larkin received 52 percent when he appeared on the ballot for the first time in 2010, then got 62 percent last year when he fell 75 votes short. This year, he received the largest singleyear percentage increase to gain election since 1948, when pitcher Herb Pennock was elected with 77.7 percent, a year after finishing with 53.4 percent. Larkin is the 48th Hall of Famer who spent his entire career with one major league team and the third from the Reds, joining Bench and Bid McPhee.

ries in those games,” Whitworth said. “It’s not like we ran the ball and were trying, trying and trying. Most of the time we were trying to throw it.” Coach Marvin Lewis noted that the offense’s approach changed as Dalton and Green became more comfortable. Heading into the season, the idea was to take the pressure off Dalton by running a lot. Benson carried 25 times for 121 yards both season highs in the opener at Cleveland. He carried 16 times or fewer in each of the last three games. “The approach taken was that the offense would grow through Andy, and I think that was the best approach,” Lewis said. “I think we saw it happen that way. The things we opened the season doing in Cleveland, and where we finished, were much different. I think that was a show of his abilities and the growth of him, and the players around him.”

Some not sold on ’Bama Alabama’s convincing victory in the BCS championship wasn’t enough to convince all 60 Associated Press college football poll voters that the Crimson Tide is No. 1. Four members of the media panel had Oklahoma State at No. 1, and Erik Gee, of KNML-AM in Albuquerque, N.M., picked LSU — as he said he would before the game. “I was a lot closer than I thought I would be to changing my mind,” Gee said during a telephone interview Tuesday. “I don’t think I necessarily felt good about voting for LSU. But I also didn’t feel good about voting for Alabama. I stared at the computer for 10 minutes. It wasn’t an easy decision.” Alabama (12-1) was an overwhelming No. 1 in the final Top 25, receiving 55 votes. LSU (13-1), which beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime on the road in November and played a much tougher schedule than the Tide, finished second and Oklahoma State (12-1) was third. The USA Today coaches’ poll had the same top three, but those voters are contractually obligated to put the winner of the BCS title game No. 1 on their ballots. While there have been occasions when coaches have ignored the rule, it was not the case this season. Alabama received all 59 first-place votes. Only once in the last five years has the final AP No. 1 been unanimous. Unbeaten Alabama received all 60 first-place votes after the 2009 season. rankings to claim a spot in the BCS title game. Turns out, it was even less of a classic than the first meeting, much closer to “Speed 2” than the “Godfather II.” But the Alabama defense was a thing of beauty, putting its own spin on this postseason of highscoring shootouts. “They are unbelievable,” said Jones, relieved that he only has to go against them in practice. “That defense is as good as any defense I’ve ever seen. They rush the passer, they have awesome linebackers and they’re great in coverage. They really don’t have any weaknesses. They have to be as good as any defense ever.” LSU didn’t cross midfield until there were less than 8 minutes remaining in the game. The Tigers finished with just 92 yards and five first downs, on the wrong end of the first shutout in the BCS’ 14-year history. “This defense is built on stopping them, and that’s what we did,” said Upshaw,

the game’s defensive MVP. “We wanted to come out and show the world we beat ourselves the first game. We wanted to come out and dominate from start to finish, and that’s what we did.” The Crimson Tide, piling up 384 yards and 21 first downs, spent much of the night in LSU’s end of the field, setting up Jeremy Shelley to attempt a bowlrecord seven field goals. He made five of them, matching a bowl record. Then, as if responding to all the critics who complained that an offensive powerhouse such as Oklahoma State or Stanford should’ve gotten a shot in the title game, Alabama finally made a long-overdue trip to the end zone. With 4:36 remaining, Heisman finalist Trent Richardson broke off a 34yard touchdown run. It was the lone TD that either of the Southeastern Conference powerhouses managed over two games, plus that overtime period back in November.
