Flu on the rise Outbreak hits Miami County BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@dailycall.com

MIAMI COUNTY
As widespread outbreaks of the flu continue across the nation in at least 40 states, health officials reported Friday there have been approximately 20 deaths being cited as caused by the flu, including two flu-related deaths in the Dayton area this week. While it’s late in the flu season, which traditionally peaks in January and February, the Miami County Public Health Department has witnessed an increase in the number of people who are seeking flu shots after reports that this year’s flu strain is
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Beyond the headlines, the story of the Diocese of South Carolina’s split from the national Episcopal church is the story of people like Rebecca Lovelace. For most of her 64 years, she worshipped at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. That was until about three months ago, when Lovelace and a small group of other parishioners decided they could not go along when their church followed the Diocese of South Carolina in breaking ties with the national church over ordination of gays and other issues.

Revenue figure was incorrect COVINGTON — The difference in the actual casino-tax revenue and what’s in Covington schools’ five-year forecast was stated incorrectly in Friday’s Troy Daily News. The correct figure is $1,000 more than what’s figured into the district’s five-year forecast. The money from the casino revenue will be received yet this month. The next payment is expected in August. The TDN regrets the error.

After more than a decade of preparing hundreds of businesses for their official red-ribbon cuttings, Troy Chamber of Commerce administrative assistant Vivian Blair is cutting herself loose in the name of retirement. Blair served as the organization’s administrative assistant and event coordinator for more than 11 years. “I’ve made a lot of good friends along the way,” said Blair on Friday as city leaders, family and friends shared memories and expressed their well wishes at an open house at the chamber office. Troy Mayor Mike Beamish formally “cut her loose” and thanked her for

Yet.” In addition to riding motorcycles with her husband Dan, she’ll also be working with his business, Blair Communications. “I’m going to have a new boss — my husband!” she said, laughing. While plans are being made to enjoy their fifthwheel camper along with their Harley addiction, Blair also said she’s really excited about spending more time with her 11 grandchildren. “That’s what I’m really planning on doing, is spending as much time as I can with them,” she said. “This is a new chapter in my life and I’m looking forward to it.”

Commerce included organizing the famous barbecue chicken dinners the organization sells during the Troy Strawberry Festival. “You know that barbecued chicken everybody smells on the levee? I helped with that,” Blair said with a laugh. Another favorite event she enjoyed coordinating is the annual auction, which helps raise funds for the chamber’s work in the community. “Those are a lot of fun and I looked forward to it every year,” Blair said. “A lot of time and effort go into those and it takes a lot of work by the staff to pull them off.” Instead of coordinating events for the chamber, Blair said she’s looking forward to living high on the “hog.” “My husband and I are

WASHINGTON (AP) — Uneasy allies, President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai demonstrated Friday they could agree on one big idea: After 11 years of war, the time is right for U.S. forces to let Afghans do their own fighting. U.S. and coalition forces will take a battlefield back seat by spring and, by implication, go home in larger numbers soon thereafter. “It will be a historic moment,” Obama declared. In a White House meeting billed as a chance to take stock of a war that now ranks as America’s longest, Obama and Karzai agreed to accelerate their timetable for putting the Afghanistan army in the lead combat role nationwide. It will happen this spring instead of summer a shift that looks small but looms larger in the debate

An early morning crash on Interstate 75 in Piqua disrupted the morning commute for some on Friday. Troopers from the
PIQUA Piqua Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol say that the driver of a Dodge crew cab dual-axle pickup truck pulling a 35-foot travel trailer lost control of his vehicle around 7:10
a.m., after being cut off by a driver who changed multiple lanes suddenly. The driver, who was southbound, swerved to avoid a collision, causing the trailer to jackknife and overturn in the median and across the lefthand lane of I-75 between
the 83- and 82-mile marker. The driver of the vehicle was not injured in the crash. The truck was registered as a commercial vehicle out of North Carolina and was pulling a new travel trailer enroute to a dealer.
Troopers re-routed southbound traffic off the 83 exit at County Road 25-A to the East Ash Street entrance to I-75 until the scene could be cleared. The highway was cleared and normal traffic resumed by 9:53 a.m.

Flu more widespread in U.S. NEW YORK (AP) — Flu is now widespread in all but three states as the nation grapples with an earlierthan-normal season. But there was one bit of good news Friday: The number of hard-hit areas declined. The flu season in the U.S. got under way a month early, in December, driven by a strain that tends to make people sicker. That led to worries that it might be a bad season, following one of the mildest flu seasons in recent memory. The latest numbers do show that the flu surpassed an “epidemic” threshold last week. That is based on deaths from pneumonia and influenza in 122 U.S. cities. However, it’s not
Despite the early start, health officials say it’s not too late to get a flu shot. The vaccine is considered a good though not perfect protection against getting really sick from the flu. Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday. The only states without widespread flu were California, Mississippi and Hawaii. The number of hard-hit states fell to 24 from 29, where larger numbers of people were treated for flulike illness. Now off that list: Florida, Arkansas and South Carolina in the South, the first region hit
this flu season. Recent flu reports included holiday weeks when some doctor’s offices were closed, so it will probably take a couple more weeks to get a better picture, CDC officials said Friday. Experts say so far say the season looks moderate. “Only time will tell how moderate or severe this flu season will be,” CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said Friday in a teleconference with reporters. The government doesn’t keep a running tally of adult deaths from the flu, but estimates that it kills about 24,000 people in an average year. Nationally, 20
children have died from the flu this season. Flu vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months or older. Since the swine flu epidemic in 2009, vaccination rates have increased in the U.S., but more than half of Americans haven’t gotten this year’s vaccine. Nearly 130 million doses of flu vaccine were distributed this year, and at least 112 million have been used. Vaccine is still available, but supplies may have run low in some locations, officials said. To find a shot, “you may have to call a couple places,” said Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, who tracks the flu in Iowa.

and droplets containing germs land in your mouth or nose. People also can get the flu by touching a surface or object that has the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, eyes or nose. Miami County Health Commissioner Chris Cook
recommended that anyone who has yet to receive a flu shot should make time to get one as the flu scare continues. “Everyone is busy, but folks need to make time for this,” Cook said. “People who get the flu say they feel like they have been run
over by a bus. So this is me telling you that you might get run over by a bus called the flu.” Health department statistics show that last month 111 children received the shots, and during that same time period last year only 44 children received one. In the last week alone, 52 kids received a flu shot, Cook said. “A lot of people think that the flu is a stomach virus — it’s not,” Cook reported. “Imagine the worst cold you’ve ever had, then multiply it by 1,000 and drag it out for over a week. That’s influenza. Not only do you feel terrible, but it’s dangerous to you and your family, too.” The county health department continues offering flu vaccines on a walk-in basis weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at its offices in the Hobart Center for County Government, 510 W. Water St., Troy. For more information about the flu or for special clinic days and times, visit the Miami County Public Health website at www.miamicountyhealth. net or call 573-3500.
ple. Despite the procedural wrangling in the theater shooting case, there may be few options for Holmes. If, as many anticipate, he enters a plea of not guilty by insanity, he would undergo lengthy evaluations at a state mental hospital before trial. If the case goes to trial and he’s found not guilty by reason of insanity, Holmes could conceivably be released from a mental hospital someday if he is deemed to have recovered, but that is considered an unlikely possibility. A guilty plea or conviction could mean life in prison or the death penalty. Holmes, 25, was ordered late Thursday to stand trial on charges of murder and attempted murder after 2
1/2 days of testimony from police and federal agents who provided excruciating details about the attack. Sylvester called Holmes back to court on Friday for an arraignment hearing to enter a plea, but defense attorneys requested the delay, saying they would not be ready to do that until March. That prompted a murmur of disbelief among about 40 survivors and family members of the victims in the gallery. Sylvester granted the delay, saying he wanted to avoid giving the defense any opening to later appeal the case. Immediately after Sylvester adjourned the hearing, Hernandez shouted at Holmes. Deputies took Hernandez aside and Sylvester reconvened the
proceedings. “I’m terribly sorry for your loss and I can only begin to imagine the emotions that are raging,” Sylvester told Hernandez, saying he could watch the proceedings by video if he could not contain himself. Hernandez apologized and promised to remain silent at future hearings. Sylvester then addressed other onlookers in the courtroom. “I really, really do not want to have any outbursts,” he said. Holmes is charged with 166 felony counts, mostly murder and attempted murder, in the killing of 12 people and injuring of 70 others during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” in the Denver suburb of Aurora.

She added that the people most at risk include young children, the elderly and pregnant women, and noted that good handwashing habits, avoiding large crowds and getting sufficient rest are some of the best ways to avoid getting the flu. helpful tips Other include covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze, because the flu is spread when a person coughs, sneezes or talks

FAA to review Boeing 787 WASHINGTON (AP) — The government stepped in Friday to assure the public that Boeing’s 787 “Dreamliner” is safe to fly, even as it launched a comprehensive review to find out what caused a fire, a fuel leak and other worrisome incidents this week. Despite the incidents Transportation Secretary
Ray LaHood declared, “I believe this plane is safe, and I would have absolutely no reservations about boarding one of these planes and taking a flight.” Administrator Michael Huerta of the FAA said his agency has seen no data suggesting that the plane isn’t safe but wanted the review to find out why incidents were occurring.
• Continued from 1 over how quickly to bring U.S. troops home and whether some should stay after combat ends in 2014. The two leaders also agreed that the Afghan government would be given full control of detention centers and detainees. They did not reach agreement on an equally sticky issue: whether any U.S. troops remaining after 2014 would be granted immunity from prosecution under Afghan law. Immunity is a U.S. demand that the Afghans have resisted, saying they want assurances on other things like authority over detainees first. At a joint news conference with Karzai in the White House East Room, Obama said he was not yet ready to decide the pace of U.S. troop withdrawals between now and December 2014. That is the target date set by NATO and the Afghan government for the international combat mission to end. There are now 66,000 U.S. troops there. Obama’s message was clear: The Afghans must now show they are capable of standing on their own. “By the end of next year, 2014, the transition will be complete. Afghans will have full responsibility for their security, and this war will come to a responsible end,” he said, noting that more than 2,000 Americans have died since the war began in October 2001. The Afghan army and police now have 352,000 in training or on duty, although that number is viewed by many as unsustainable. Some private security analysts and some in the Pentagon worry that pulling out to quickly will leave Afghanistan vulnerable to collapse. In a worst-case scenario, that could allow the Taliban to regain power and revert to the role they played in the years before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as protectors of al-Qaida terrorists bent on striking the U.S. Many Americans, however, are weary of the war and skeptical of any claim that Afghanistan is worth more U.S. blood. In a reflection of the diminishing support in Congress for a robust U.S. role in Afghanistan, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a member of the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter to Obama on Friday urging him to significantly reduce the number of American troops in the region and bring American forces home as quickly as possible.

WACO lecture Jan. 23 TROY — A WACO Adult Lecture will feature World War II veterans Gailard Ketcham and Charlie Baker discussing the Battle of Iwo Jima at 7 p.m. Jan. 23 at the WACO Air Museum, 1865 S. County Road 25-A, Troy. Veteran Charlie Baker joined the Marines in June 1944 and arrived at Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945. On Baker’s fourth day at Iwo Jima, he joined Company F, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Division and spent the remainder of his 36 days on Iwo Jima with a machine gunner crew. “There were four of us in a fox hole. Grenades and
machine gun bullets seemed to be everywhere. Later we discovered that we had participated in one of the roughest campaigns on the island,” Baker said. Veteran Gailard “Red” Ketcham served with the U.S. Army Air Corps and trained to be a ball turret gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress. After the war, he was selected to be an aerial photographer and flew many missions over England, France, Germany and North Africa. Ketcham then worked for General Motors Frigidaire Division in Dayton for 35 years. After retirement, he became
interested in the history of Frigidaire and was appointed historian, gathering memorabilia and pictures of any happenings over the years. He discovered that one of the Frigidaire employees was one of the six boys who raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima Island, portrayed in the famous photograph. Ketcham also became aware of other Dayton area men who were associated with this historical event. He will explain all these connections during the lecture.

PERSPECTIVE
Tom Dunn Troy Daily News Guest Columnist
Is what’s good for the goose not what’s good for the gander? In previous articles, I’ve chronicled my frustration with the “help” our legislators are constantly providing public education. I’ve also not been shy in telling our leaders just how off base I think they are in every decision they make. It is interesting to see their reaction to anyone who dares question them. They smile at you, pat you on your head, and send you on your way just as a parent does with a petulant child. And, oh, yes, they ignore you, too. After all, what could an educator know about teaching kids? So, I’ve decided to try a different approach. I wanted to find out how much they really believe in the nonsense they create by challenging them to impose on themselves three mandates they have created for us. I issued this challenge to the leaders of Ohio’s legislature via a December email to which I have yet to receive a response. After all, what betAs I ter form of leadership is there than to expect of See It yourself the same thing you impose on others? ■ The Troy First, since our legislators have now decided Daily News that every high school student needs to pass welcomes Algebra II to succeed in life (an absolutely insane columns from assertion, by the way), I have challenged them to our readers.

Now, they may argue that they don’t have control over a lot of these issues, but that’s OK. Their report card holds schools accountable for issues over which they have little control as well. So, this will be one of those “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” gigs. Again, because I know how committed they are to transparency, we can publish the results from these report cards for the world to see. After all, don’t we deserve to know how well our lawmakers are performing? Finally, I suggested to both leaders that they immediately begin implementing a legislators’ evaluation system just like the new teacher evaluation system they have created for us. Before, they begin, though, they will have to attend three days of training where they will be told crazy things like evaluating other human beings is not a subjective activity, and then they will have to pass a test where subjectivity is not allowed. I realize there’s no way these two leaders can evaluate everyone under their direction, but that’s no cause for concern, because neither can we. What’s apparently important is not that it can be done well, only that we can say people have been evaluated. Even though this is only a fraction of the mandates they have forced upon us, at least it’s a start. I can’t tell you how excited I am to get started helping these folks become the best they can be just like they’ve been helping us! It’s going to be a blast!

Healthcare system needs reformation To the Editor: Perhaps this is a little late in coming, but reality hit me a little late. As a healthy, 29year-old woman, I was befuddled with how to handle my individual health insurance with the start of this new year. A couple of months ago, I received notice that my basic plan will have Expanded Preventative Health Services for Women effective Jan. 1, 2013, in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Though I do not have prescription coverage on my plan, a prescription drug benefit is
being added, but is limited to contraceptives. Among other benefits, I can enjoy permanent surgical contraception (sterilization) at 100 percent coverage. For a number of reasons (natural health, moral, religious) I do not want contraceptive coverage on my health plan. I tried to opt out of these benefits, but it is legally not possible. You could say I knew this was coming, but a hypothetical possibility in the midst of election politics is different than the reality of paying into a plan that directly provides for contraceptives, which I find morally unacceptable. I still look forward to
changes that make healthcare sustainable and accessible to all. However, by mandating universal birth control and sterilization coverage (procedures that obstruct rather than heal the reproductive system), I feel morally excluded from the system. So, for me, the new year meant that I contacted my representatives and urged them to change the law, canceled my health insurance plan, and am scrambling to find an alternative that is morally acceptable, perhaps medical bill sharing. Still befuddled. — Katie Hess Troy

New turnpike bonds will keep economy moving For nearly a year we’ve had the pleasure of traveling the state to meet with thousands of Ohioans to talk about our highway system. We have asked people what they would like the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Turnpike to do to address our state’s highway budget deficit as we conducted a 10-month, indepth study of our state's only toll road as it fits into the bigger transportation picture. These sessions have been extremely interesting. Everywhere we went, we were told Ohio has tremendous infrastructure needs and a lack of dollars to address those needs. Every city and county we visited has critical pending projects important to their local economy and addressing congestion and safety concerns. We also understand the passionate feelings residents of northern Ohio have for the Ohio Turnpike. It has served them well since 1955. More importantly, we learned that Ohioans strongly believe our state is on its way back economically. They want us to be innovative in our thinking about complex infrastructure problems. They expect those of us who hold a public trust to work together to find solutions. They have little patience for the partisan gridlock that has unfortunately gripped
Jerry Wray Troy Daily News Guest Columnist our federal government in recent years. These are real problems and the people are demanding real, common-sense solutions. Finding such a real solution to our highway funding deficit was the goal when the Ohio Turnpike study was launched earlier this year. We began with the recognition that the Turnpike is a highquality road generating about $260 million in annual revenue. This asset can and should be put to use to help ease Ohio’s highway funding dilemma. We must do so in order to keep our economy moving forward. We had no preconceived notions. We knew the state of Ohio would keep ownership of the Turnpike under any scenario. There was discussion that the administration was determined to lease the Turnpike. That was only one of the options. The analysis team also looked at the possibility of doing
nothing; moving the Ohio Turnpike Commission under ODOT; or keeping the Turnpike Commission an independent agency, but perhaps modifying its duties and relationship with ODOT. There was also much discussion about issuing bonds to raise revenue. I encourage everyone with an interest in this issue to read the analysis. It is comprehensive and will provide an excellent foundation for continued study of this subject. Members of this administration as well as members of the Ohio General Assembly will find it to be a useful tool for continued discussion of ways to increase efficiencies in operations and save tax dollars. The state has decided the best course of action is to work with the existing Turnpike Commission to develop a capital plan addressing critical transportation projects by issuing bonds backed by future toll revenues. The Ohio Turnpike will remain under the full control of the State of Ohio. Leasing the Turnpike may have generated more money. However, our plan allows the state to maintain total control of the road while expanding the authority of the Turnpike Commission to help build projects that directly benefit the Turnpike and Northern Ohio. While a strong
majority of the bond money will be spent in Northern Ohio, the plan will free up other funds to accelerate badly needed highway projects statewide — delivering more projects faster. By bonding against future toll revenues we can take a bite out of Ohio’s highway budget deficit and dedicate approximately $1.5 billion for critical infrastructure projects. We can also freeze tolls for 10 years for passenger vehicles using E-Z Pass for local trips and cap other toll increases to the rate of inflation for the next decade. When you’re in a state that makes and grows things, it is essential to have the ability to move things. This new program will provide vital transportation projects to keep Ohio’s economy moving forward. Ohioans are looking to us to put aside any differences and work together to find innovative solutions to these critical needs. Using the turnpike’s potential, we can keep Ohio’s transportation system moving and keep our state moving as well — back on track to prosperity. Jerry Wray is director of the Ohio Department of Transportation. He is the only person to serve two terms as ODOT director, having held the position from 1991-99.

Teller steals $600,000 CINCINNATI (AP) — Authorities in southwest Ohio say a credit union teller created “C-Note sandwiches” to help steal some $600,000 over nearly a decade. Hamilton County assistant prosecutor Bill Anderson says 62-year-old Linda Fite allegedly swapped $1 bills for $100 bills in stacks of hundreds, leaving $100 bills on the tops and bottoms of the stacks to disguise the theft. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that an audit last year of large bags of money disclosed the thefts from Cinco Credit Union. Fite faces a potential sentence of three years in prison if convicted.

For S.C. Episcopalians, a break from lifelong homes Carolina in breaking ties with the national church over ordination of gays and other issues. Lovelace told her priests she couldn’t stay: “I really truly felt like there was a death in the family.” Now, her fledgling congregation of about 35 people known as the Conway Worship Group gathers each Sunday at the chapel at Coastal Carolina University. Usually with a retired priest or one on loan from another church, they pray, sing, celebrate communion and make plans for the future. The schism has been years in the making, dating

CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Beyond the headlines, the story of the Diocese of South Carolina’s split from the national Episcopal church is the story of people like Rebecca Lovelace. For most of her 64 years, she worshipped at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in this quiet farming town and bedroom community about a dozen miles from the high-rise condominiums of Myrtle Beach. That was until about three months ago, when Lovelace and a small group of other parishioners decided they could not go along when their church followed the Diocese of South
to the national church’s consecration of its first openly gay bishop in 2003, which upset conservative Episcopalians. “I think everybody reached a point where they couldn’t go any further,” said Dan Ennis, one of the organizers of the new congregation and who is dean of the university’s College of Humanities and Fine Arts. “A lot of us saw this coming and a lot of us dreaded it, but now at least we know what to do.” The diocese in eastern South Carolina had 70 congregations with about 29,000 parishioners. It dates to the 1700s and is one of the originals that joined others to form the Episcopal Church. The dispute isn’t over yet, now that the breakaway diocese has sued the national church. It is asking a judge to declare that the national church has no right to either the identity of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina or its property. “We seek to protect more than $500 million in real property, including churches, rectories and other buildings that South Carolinians built, paid for, maintained and expanded and in some cases died to protect without any support from The Episcopal

Dan Lynch, left, and her father, Dan Ennis look on as members of the Conway Worship Group worship at the chapel at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C. A small group of St. Paul’s parishioners decided they could not stay in their church of 500 members as it followed the Diocese of South Carolina in breaking ties with the national church over ordination of gays and other issues. Now, the fledgling congregation gathers each Sunday at the university. Church,” said the Rev. Jim Lewis, an assistant to Bishop Mark Lawrence. One expert likened the fight to the final days of the Civil War: a lingering skirmish after years of controversy among Episcopalians that will have little effect on the national church. “At Appomattox, Grant and Lee signed the final surrender but there were places where the fighting went on for months. The news didn’t reach Arkansas and Texas the war was over. I think in South Carolina you are seeing something like that,” said Frank Kirkpatrick a professor of religion at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., and author of “The Episcopal Church in Crisis: How Sex, the Bible and Authority are Dividing the Faithful.” He estimates perhaps 5 percent of Episcopalians nationally may have left the church in recent years because of the theological disputes. He says that figure is likely less than 8 percent if one includes those who simply stopped attending services, but didn’t formally leave. Though their numbers are few nationally, South Carolina believers on either side of the split have been forced to find new identities apart from the churches they grew up in.
The Conway group has used donations from other national churches to get started on their own. Each Sunday uses a simple stoneware chalice, not the silver one most congregants were used to, for the communion wine. One church in Virginia sent a bottle of wine to use for communion, “lots of Hershey kisses and some Kleenex for the tears they know we probably shed. But there is a light on the other side,” Lovelace said. She has no animosity toward her friends in her former congregation. “They are doing what they have to do. I respect the depth of their convictions. I don’t agree with it but hopefully they know I’m doing what I feel called to do,” she added. “I never heard a reason good enough to make me leave the national church.” Ennis noted that Bishop Mark Lawrence has said the national church is spreading a “false Gospel of indiscriminate inclusivity.” “I thought we are all going to be held to account so if I’m going to bet my soul, I’d rather be more inclusive than not inclusive,” Ennis said. To the south, in Edisto Beach, about 40 people have left the local Episcopal church to start a worship
group and form their own congregation affiliated with the national church. Lovelace’s sister, Gretchen Smith, who grew up in the Conway church, has worshipped in Edisto for the past eight years. “We’ve seen this coming for years. We maintained a presence there and worshipped there until it was clear we could no longer do it,” she said. Right now the worship group is meeting in homes but, after the first of the year, it hopes to find space at a local civic club. Back in Conway at a service earlier this month, the Rev. Dan Lynch, a retired priest from Ocean Isle Beach, N.C., told the congregation of 45 people that God is ultimately in control. “President Obama is not in control. The Republican Congress is not in control. God is in control of your future and your present,” he said. “Too many doors have doors have opened for us for God not to be in control here,” Lovelace agreed later. Coastal Carolina’s nondenominational chapel even included the kneelers that are used in Episcopal services. “That was a sign to me that God was here and this is where we needed to be,” she said.

Visit your daughter to see if you can help
Today: 6 p.m.: Mountain Heart Bluegrass 7 p.m.: Bookends 9 p.m.: Spotlight
Dear Annie: Our daughter is going down a bad road, and our 13-year-old granddaughter, "Lana," is in the driver's seat. Lana has been diagnosed with ADHD, but since we live in another state, we have no way of knowing whether she's staying on her meds. I've heard from my wife that Lana has been destroying furniture and is physically and verbally abusing her mother. At one point, she snatched her mom's cellphone out of her hand while she was calling for help. Here's another layer of trouble: We know our daughter has had drug abuse issues in the past, and we suspect she's on some harder stuff now. She is losing weight at an alarming rate, her teeth are going bad, and she's just been kicked out of her apartment — for the fourth time in less than two years. This is stressing the entire family, even though we're hundreds of miles away. What can we do? How do we cope with this? — Worried and Wondering Dear Worried: Is Lana's father in the picture? Is he reliable? Would he be willing to ask for custody? Would you be willing to take the girl in if her mother is on drugs? We know Lana is a handful, but part of the reason is because her mother may not be a competent parent. We urge you to make a trip to see your daughter and assess the situation. You also might want to alert Lana's school to the home issues. There is support for friends and relatives of addicted children. Contact NarAnon (nar-anon.org) at 800-4776291. Dear Annie: For the past 30 years, my brother-in-law, "Bob," has spent the holidays with us, staying for a week or more. He has never offered to take us out to lunch, dinner or anything else. In fact, the last time we went out together, he somehow left his credit card at home when the bill arrived, so we paid, as usual. (How does anyone travel 1,000 miles without a credit card?) Everyone else I know makes it a regular practice to offer to take the hosts out for a meal or at the very least pitch in for groceries. When we are guests, we do this. It is courteous, polite and proper. Are we just old-fashioned? How do we handle Bob's inability to find his pockets? Should we mention ahead of time that diners will be paying for their own meals? My husband has never brought this up with his brother, but I think it's time Bob became a good guest. He is single, well-educated and lives comfortably. Should we just come out and tell him? It would be difficult to do without ruffling a few feathers. — New Hampshire Dear New Hampshire: How does your husband feel about this? Bob is being a freeloader, but if your husband prefers not to confront him (and can afford it), we think you should let him decide the issue. Otherwise, since he's family, and you will continue to host him, it's OK to approach Bob with a lighthearted touch and say that it's his turn to pick up the tab on the next outing. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Frustrated," whose new husband, "Kevin," won't let her buy her own stuff. If he is a control freak, they need counseling, or if necessary, she can get the marriage annulled. Life is too short to live like that. If it were up to my husband, we'd never have anything decent around here. I've replaced some of his and my old stuff and learned to stand up to him. It's not healthy to be married and feel like you are living out a prison sentence. Assuming she's not trying to buy high-end expensive stuff, she needs to ask herself: Would she let a friend treat her that way? No. — Happily Married 20 Years to a Pack Rat Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Readers weigh in to offer some socket solutions Dear Readers: Here are some hints about removing a broken light bulb from a socket. Wearing garden gloves, use a (rubber) jar opener, slowly reach in and twist and jiggle back and forth to gently remove the base that is left behind. Be sure no glass remains in the socket. Here are some other hints from readers: • Elaine V. in Spokane, Wash., says: “I have two ways of removing a light-bulb base that remains stuck in a socket after the glass bulb has broken off: “Take a pair of needle-nose pliers (Turn off the circuit breaker before doing anything.
Hints from Heloise Columnist — Heloise) and grab the edge of the metal base. Gently turn the metal counterclockwise, holding the outside of the socket. “Or you can open up the pliers inside the metal base and press the tips firmly against the sides of the metal. Twist the pliers slowly counterclockwise, keeping a strong, steady pres-
sure on the pliers. Voila! Out pops the bulb base.” • Karen M. of Colorado Springs, Colo., says: “Broken-off light bulb? Make a wad of duct tape; push it on the exposed base and turn. Works every time.” At one time, using a raw potato was the solution for a stuck light-bulb base. That is no longer a recommended solution, as the moisture from the potato could cause a short. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Donna, via email, sent a photo of her dog, 2year-old Riley, a miniature schnauzer who looks like my miniature schnauzer, Cabbie!
Donna says: “Riley is the most handsome guy ever! I have to say that when I saw your adorable schnauzer, Cabbie, I thought it was Riley. We would love to see our boy in your pet section of your website, and thank you in advance. I’m certainly a big fan of yours — always the highlight of reading the paper daily.” Donna, Riley does look like our own Cabernet! It’s amazing how miniature schnauzers look a lot alike, but any owner knows how charming and mischievous they can be. To see Riley or Cabbie, visit my website, www.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For the rest of the month, relations with authority figures will be very smooth. In fact, for some of you, they will be so smooth that a romantic liaison might begin. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) At some point this month, or early next month, by all means, try to travel somewhere for pleasure. Your appreciation of beauty is heightened, and you want to get away somewhere and have fun. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The next three weeks are a good time to ask for loans or mortgages, because people are inclined to be generous to you. (They even will be generous to you in intimate situations.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with partners and close friends will be very smooth for the rest of the month. That’s why this is the perfect time to mend broken fences and get cozy. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Very likely, you will enjoy your work in a more pleasurable way this month. You will feel pampered or surrounded by a beautiful workplace. A work-related romance might begin. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You really want to have a good time this month in an easygoing, pleasurable way. Romance, enjoyable social diversions, playful times with children and fun sports all will appeal. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a perfect month to redecorate or to buy beautiful things for where you live. It’s even a good time to check out real-estate opportunities. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) For the remainder this month and into next month, look for opportunities to make money through writing, acting, teaching and talking. Relations with siblings are warm. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Trust your moneymaking ideas this month, because you might be onto something. Nevertheless, you are tempted to buy beautiful things, because they’re all around you! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The next few weeks are the perfect time to buy wardrobe items for your sign. You feel good about yourself; you like what you see in the mirror. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will delight you this month. You need to hide somewhere and just bask in the luxury of your own company. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Enjoy warm friendships with others this month. Possibly, a casual friend could become a romantic interest. Who knows? YOU BORN TODAY Security matters to you, which is why prestige and status matter. (One assures the other.) You constantly strive to improve your situation in life or to better yourself. You have a regal pride that can be attractive. Socially, you often are the life the party — you’re certainly entertaining. In the year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus. Birthdate of: Shonda Rhimes, screenwriter/producer; Orlando Bloom, actor; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, actress.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Jan. 12, the 12th day of 2013. There are 353 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On Jan. 12, 1948, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Sipuel v. Board of Regents of University of Oklahoma, ruled that state law schools could not discriminate against applicants on the basis of race. On this date: In 1915, the House of Representatives rejected, 204-
174, a constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. In 1959, Berry Gordy, Jr. founded Motown Records (originally Tamla Records) in Detroit. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his State of the Union address that the U.S. should stay in South Vietnam until Communist aggression there was ended. In 1971, the groundbreaking situation comedy “All in the Family” premiered on CBS television.
In 1987, Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite arrived in Lebanon on his latest mission to win the release of Western hostages however, Waite ended up being taken captive himself, and wasn’t released until 1991. In 2010, Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7 earthquake, killing as many as 300,000 residents. One year ago: Pentagon leaders scrambled to contain damage from an Internet video purporting to show four Marines
Survivors still suffering after Concordia disaster ROME (AP) — One can’t stand being in a mall: It feels too much like the ship, with no visible exits. Another dreams she’s walking on a tilt a memory of having crawled up walls as the cruise liner rolled onto its side. A 4-year-old boy talks obsessively about the meal he had to leave behind when plates started to fly across the dining room. As if the nightmares, flashbacks and anxiety weren’t enough, passengers who survived the terrifying capsizing of the Costa Concordia off Tuscany have come in for a rude shock as they mark the first anniversary of the disaster on Sunday: They’ve been told they aren’t welcome at the weekend’s commemorations. Ship owner Costa Crociere SpA, the Italian unit of Miami-based Carnival Corp., sent several passengers a letter telling them they shouldn’t bother coming to the official anniversary ceremonies on the island of Giglio where the hulking ship still rests. Costa says the day is focused on the families of the 32 people

The cruise ship Costa Concordia, leaning on its side, is framed by a church bell tower in the Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, Friday. As if the nightmares, flashbacks and anxiety weren’t enough, passengers who survived the terrifying grounding and capsizing of the Costa Concordia off Tuscany have come in for a rude shock as they mark the first anniversary of the disaster on Sunday. Ship owner Costa Crociere SpA, the Italian unit of Miami-based Carnival Corp., sent several passengers a letter telling them they weren’t welcome at the official anniversary ceremonies on the island of Giglio where the hulking ship still rests. who died Jan. 13, 2012, not the 4,200 passengers and crew who survived. “We are sure that you will understand both the logistical impossibility of
accommodating all of you on the island, as well as the desire for privacy expressed by the families at this sorrowful time,” Costa chief executive
Michael Thamm wrote in the letter obtained by The Associated Press. He expressed sympathies to the survivors and said he trusted that their
thoughts and prayers “will help lead us to a brighter future.” While some survivors said they understood that the families who lost loved ones deserved particular attention, many of those who are still struggling to get through each day said the letter added insult to their injuries both physical and psychological. Some speculated that the letter was more about keeping disgruntled passengers, many of whom have taken legal action against Costa, away from the TV cameras that have flooded the island for the anniversary. The letter has been a focus of discussions on the closed Facebook group that sprang up in the aftermath of the disaster, where survivors from around the world swap news articles and their personal ups and downs. “This to our family has not settled well at all,” said Georgia Ananias of Downey, Calif., who along with her husband and two daughters was among the last off the ship. “We’re trying to deal with this day, and to get something as insulting as this that there’s no room for
you there?” Costa attorney Marco De Luca said it only made sense to limit the numbers on the island, which opened its doors to the 4,200 shipwreck victims who came ashore that frigid night. “The presence of thousands and thousands of people would create logistical problems good sense would say you take note of that,” he said. The Concordia slammed into a reef off Giglio on Jan. 13 after the captain took it off course in a stunt to bring the ship closer to the island. As it took on water through the 70-meter (230-foot) gash in its hull, the Concordia rolled onto its side and came to rest on the rocks off Giglio’s port, where teams are still working to remove it. Survivors recounted a harrowing and chaotic evacuation, with crew members giving contradictory instructions and the captain delaying the evacuation order for a full hour after impact, until the ship was so far tilted on its side that many lifeboats couldn’t be lowered. Thirty-two people died. Two bodies were never recovered.
USDA: Drought cut 2012 corn crop by about one-fourth DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For farmers like Earl Williams, last year couldn’t have started out better or ended much worse as a warm, sunny spring that let him plant early gave way to record heat and drought that devastated his corn. Williams ended up with about two-thirds of the crop he expected, and a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released Friday showed most corn farmers didn’t fare much better. The final report on the 2012 growing season showed farmers harvested 10.78 billion bushels of corn, less than three-fourths of what the agency predicted last
spring. While the report covers many other crops, much of the attention has been on corn, which is widely used as an ingredient in many foods, provides feed for livestock and is mixed with gasoline as ethanol. The crop also was the hardest hit by the drought that settled in just as the plants were maturing. Williams, 62, usually gets 150 to 160 bushels per acre on his 1,000-acre farm near Rockford in northern Illinois. Last year, he got about 100, and he’s been looking at the sky ever since, hoping for heavy rain or snow to break the drought
that still grips the region. “I’ve yet to run into anyone around me that wasn’t ready for 2013 to come,” he said. Yet things could have been worse. Because demand remained strong and corn prices remained high above $7 a bushel for much of the summer and fall the 2012 crop was the most valuable ever produced, with a value of around $85 billion, said Chad Hart, an agriculture economist with Iowa State University. The harvest also was the eighth largest in U.S. history, a reflection of a big increase in recent years in the number of acres planted
and crop technology that has improved plants’ ability to withstand drought. “We learned that corn plants can build roots very, very deep,” said Brent Wilson, technical services manager for DuPont Pioneer, a major seed company. In some areas, farmers got yields that require 40 percent more water than was available in the top few feet of their soil, Wilson said. That means plant roots were driven deeper to reach the subsoil. While the drought eventually spread to cover twothirds of the nation, its impact varied widely from
one region of the corn belt to another. Some Iowa farmers saw decent results, while those in parts of Illinois and Indiana could only watch as plants withered and died after months of drought. Friday’s reports showed that Illinois, typically the nation’s second-largest corn producer, fell to fourth place behind Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota. Iowa, coming off of its driest year since 1989, remains the largest corn producer with 1.87 billion bushels, down 20 percent from the year before. Minnesota was second with 1.37 billion bushels, followed by Nebraska with
1.29 billion and Illinois with 1.28 billion. Corn production in Illinois fell 34 percent from 2011 and Nebraska’s production was off 16 percent. Minnesota, where the drought was not as severe as in other states, produced 14 percent more corn last year than the year before. The USDA had predicted a record average yield of 166 bushels per acre of corn when warm weather got farmers in the fields early. But the government began scaling back estimates as the drought spread across two-thirds of the nation. The year-end average was 123.4 bushels per acre.

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 Union branches are 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.

Cole Owens scored 12 of his connected of his 18 points in the fourth as the Buccs held off Bethel for a 55-47 victory Friday in Covington.

St. Xavier shuts out Troy, 5-0
Injured teammate fuels Trojans in 82-71 OT win BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com
Staff Reports Troy’s struggles continued Friday night on the road as the Trojans were shut out by St. Xavier, 5-0. Troy was outshot 22-17 in the game, with golakeeper Eric Wright stopping 17 shots.
All of the big plays, the clutch shots, the huge stops on defense? The end of a seven-game losing streak? All of it meant a little more to Troy after watching a teammate go down. Taren Kinnel — who had just hit a pair of 3s to shoot the Trojans back into contention at 64-60 with 1:30 to go in the PIQUA fourth quarter against bitter rival Piqua — dove head-first chasing a loose ball on defense, gaining possession and allowing the team to call timeout. He didn’t get up, though, as his nose was busted and bloodied in the scuffle for the ball. “I didn’t want to leave the court,” Kinnel said. “I was in the moment. I didn’t care if I was hurt. All I wanted to do was help my team win the game.” After watching him leave, his Trojan teammates refused to lose. The Troy defense allowed only one field goal from that point on, Dylan Cascaden carved his

“Three out of our last four games, we haven’t scored and our shot totals have been that low,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “We didn’t play well as a team tonight, and it showed. “We’re in a funk right now, and we need to work through it. We’ve got to get back to playing Trojan hockey.” The Trojans (10-11) host Centerville today at Hobart Arena.

Meyer: Long way to go AP PHOTO
Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands by his car in his garage after he started a wreck involving a group of cars during NASCAR testing at Daytona International Speedway Friday in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Wreck shuts down NASCAR testing DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — New cars, same results at Daytona International Speedway. Dale Earnhardt Jr. started a 12-car accident at Daytona on Friday that essentially shut down a three-day test session designed to hone NASCAR’s redesigned cars. Stock-car racing’s most popular driver was trying to bump draft with Marcus Ambrose on the back straightaway when he lifted Ambrose “like a forklift” and turned him into the wall. Ambrose’s Ford bounced back across the track and triggered a pileup that collected a
host of others. “It was a big mess and tore up a lot of cars down here trying to work on their stuff,” Earnhardt said. “Definitely the drafting is not like it used to be. You can’t really tandem certain cars; certain cars don’t match up well.” Two of Earnhardt’s Hendrick Motorsports teammates, Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne, also were involved. So were defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, new teammate Joey Logano, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Jamie McMurray, Martin Truex Jr., Aric Almirola and Regan Smith.
COLUMBUS (AP) — Urban Meyer says one of the mantras for his second Ohio State team will be “truth.” He’s certainly not sparing his Buckeyes his perception of it when it comes to whether they can compete with the likes of national champion Alabama next season. “For me to say we have to get there next year, that’s like me talking about we have to go fly to the moon,” he said Friday. “We’re nowhere near even having that conversation.” Despite a 12-0 record and a No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press poll after a bowl-less season, Meyer made it clear he does not believe his team is remotely close to even discussing competing with the nation’s elite teams. “Truth means exactly (that); you have a good season, and there’s a lot of conversation about things that really shouldn’t be discussed because it’s not true,” he said, referring to extremely early predictions that figure the Buckeyes to be among the top handful of teams in the nation in 2013. “For example, are you guys going to (contend for the national title) next year? No, probably not, unless we get a lot better like, a lot better.” Meyer even detailed what makes teams like

There’s one way to do that: Go out and recruit and get some more depth. But to say that

Lyla has been with us for one month now and unfortunately she is running out of time. She is about 4-5 yrs old. She looks like she may be a lab/shepherd mix. Lyla is a big sweetheart. She loves to play, and ball is her favorite. Although she would rather keep the ball to herself after you throw it to her, than bring it back to you. Lyla is very friendly and outgoing – She has a big bark to welcome everyone. She acts more like a puppy than a 5 yr old. Lyla does have what looks like a tumor on her stomach. It is something that could be checked out fairly easily – when she is spayed. And whatever it is, it certainly doesn't slow her down one bit. Come in and meet Lyla and see if she would be a good addition to your family.

there’s not quality football players in the Big Ten, that’s not correct. The quantity is the biggest difference.” Even though he said he won’t discuss with his players how they can compete with the Crimson Tide and others, that doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about it “24/7, every second of (my) life.” “We’ve got to go catch them,” he said of Alabama, the national champs in three of the last four seasons. “Everybody’s trying to catch the best. Some people are probably trying to catch us. There’s nothing else I’d rather do than watch these other programs and kind of figure out how they’re doing it, how do we get that or do that? How do we beat that?” His first Ohio State team was a pleasant surprise. Led by sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller and a group of game seniors who refused to settle for anything short of each player’s best, the Buckeyes piled up wins even though many thought they might falter because of NCAA sanctions which deprived them of a bowl trip. They eked out some close wins, won their Big Ten divi-
sion and knocked off rival Michigan in the annual season-ending game. Despite the disappointment of being shut out of the conference title game or playing in a major bowl due to NCAA violations committed under the tenure of the deposed Jim Tressel, the Buckeyes accomplished just about everything they possibly could last season. No wonder Ohio State is honoring that squad. A team photo is in a prime spot at the end of the hall just outside the meeting room at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. Each of the 2012 Buckeyes will receive rings commemorating their divisional title and only the sixth unbeaten and untied season in the program’s 123 seasons. And another wall in the practice facility will honor what was a season of triumph after a year of sanctions, suspensions and innuendo that nearly tore the program apart. “In my history with players, they like that. They like to come in (later in life) and bring their children, bring their families and then say, ‘I was a part of that,’” Meyer said.

Troy’s Jalen Nelson drives past Piqua’s Dan Monnin Friday at Piqua.
Troy-Piqua ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 way through the Piqua defense and sent the game to overtime with a layup with 7.3 seconds left, Tre Hudson connected after a tough drive to the hoop midway through overtime to give the Trojans the lead for good and Troy iced it from the free throw line after the game got violently chippy late, coming back for a stunning 82-71 victory at Garbry Gymnasium Friday. “Once Taren got hurt, we all said that we were finishing the game for him. And we did,” said Miller, who scored a team-high 22 points, had eight rebounds and blocked two critical shots in overtime. “It boosted the whole team. We knew we couldn’t let another one slip — we’ve let that happen too many times. Especially not after what happened to Taren.” “After that, we all got together and said we were going to do it for Taren,” Cascaden said. “Without him, we wouldn’t have even been in the game.” Cascaden cashed in Kinnel’s hustle steal once play resumed, willing a shot to go in, then Troy (212, 2-3 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division )got another steal and called timeout with 17.2 seconds to go. Then Cascaden — who also forced overtime on opening night in a loss to Centerville — drove to the hoop for a game-tying layup, and Piqua missed a 3 at the buzzer to send the game to OT. “We were 0 for 2 in overtime already, just lost to Sidney (Tuesday night) — no way we were doing it again,” Cascaden said. The play capped off a 16-2 Troy run over the final four minutes of regulation after the Indians (4-8, 1-4 GWOC North) had dominated the first three and a half quarters. “We just haven’t put together a second half of basketball,” Troy coach Tim Miller said. “It’s not that the guys haven’t been playing together. They’ve always got each other’s backs, pick each other up and back each other up. We just haven’t been able to get over the hump in games like this.” “Coach Mill(er) always says that we don’t play in the second half,” Cascaden said. “And in the third … well, we didn’t let it get too far away. In the fourth, we stepped it up and got it done.” And that carried over into the extra period, too.
With Kinnel back on the bench watching, Cascaden — who finished with 16 points and eight assists — dished to Miller to give Troy its first lead since the opening two minutes of the game, then Cascaden found Hudson open for 3 to make it 69-64. Piqua fought its way back, though, with Ryan Hughes hitting a 3 to tie the game at 71-71, but that would be the last bucket the Indians managed against a fired-up Troy defense. Hudson then answered by fighting his way through the lane and getting a tough shot to fall to make it 73-71 Troy with 45.5 seconds to go. Miller then blocked Piqua’s Josh Holfinger — who led the Indians with 22 points — from behind to preserve the lead, and Piqua was called for an intentional foul on a defensive rebound by Troy moments later. Cascaden canned both of those, then Miller was roughly fouled going up for another rebound on the defensive end — a play on which Piqua was blown for a technical foul, too. Miller hit all four free throws, and Troy ran down the clock from there. “It feels great. Coming in 1-12, lost to Sidney in overtime earlier this week … and this is Piqua,” Miller said. “This is the best I’ve felt in a while.” Hudson finished with 15 points, while Jalen Nelson added 10 and seven rebounds. And Kinnel hit four 3s and finished with 12 points — along with Xrays and stitches on the docket for next week and a lot of pain. Which was partially dulled by the victory. “Oh, it feels great,” he said of watching the team win in his name. “I think after this, we’ll be playing with a lot more intensity — this much intensity — the rest of the year.” Troy — 82 Luke Manis 0-1-1, Jalen Nelson 3-3-10, Connor Super 0-00, Tre Hudson 5-4-15, Tyler Miller 8-6-22, Dylan Cascaden 6-4-16, Seth Perdziola 1-3-6, Taren Kinnel 4-0-12.

Tippecanoe 61, Kenton Ridge 57 SPRINGFIELD — Trailing at halftime, Tippecanoe came out in the third and outscored Kenton Ridge 27-14 to seize control of the game.

Nick Fischer led the team with 13 points, while Michael Landwehr (11 points) and Cameron Johnson (10) rounded out the Tipp players in double figures.

Miami East 61, Ansonia 24 CASSTOWN — Sick of losing after three straight, the Miami East Vikings wasted no time and left no doubt how Friday’s game would end. The Vikings (7-3, 3-1 Cross County Conference) shot the lights out early, going 6 for 11 from 3-point range in the first half and jumping out to a 21-7 lead after only the first quarter, cruising to a 61-24 victory over Ansonia Friday night to end their losing streak. “It’s very nice to get back on the winning track after
three tough games against Versailles, Bethel and Troy Christian,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “We came out and shot the ball very well in the first half.” Nick Beard led the Vikings offensively with 14 points. Garrett Mitchell did a little of everything with 13 points, nine rebounds, six assists, six steals and a blocked shot, while Luke House added 13 points and another nine rebounds. The Vikings won the battle of the boards, 33-17. Miami East travels to TrVillage with a shot to knock of the CCC leader Tuesday night.

Bees-Buccs
Covington’s Austin Angle controls the ball as Bethel’s Andrew Hurst defends Friday. ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 During the final quarter, Covington went 18 for 20 at the charity stripe. Cole Owens was 10 for 10 during that stretch. “The kids were just ready to play,” Covington coach Matt Pond said. “They were focused. They were clutch. Every one was big when they needed to be. Cole Owens stepped up in the final quarter, I think he was 10 for 10 at the foul line. We’re sitting there down 38-33, we had to take Cole out with four fouls. They got up five, then we decided to go back to him. I thought he really came back in and played solid and smart. “We really started sharing the ball, getting back to the things we were doing early. That’s what the kids need to understand, how well they can do it as a team.” Covington’s run in the fourth gave them a 45-38 lead with time winding down. But Bethel wasn’t done yet. The Bees cut the deficit down to 48-46 after consecutive 3s by Bain and Aaron Bozarth. With the Bees forced to foul, Troy Cron was sent to the line. He knocked down both shots, then Cole Owens added two more to cap off a statement win for the Buccs. “They made a huge run, and we knew they were very capable of that,” Pond said. “They are very athletic and good shooters all around. When have Gus Schwieterman who can play inside and shoot the 3, that concerns you. He’s really improved his game and I thought he proved it

Gallinari clutch late as Nuggets knock off Cavs DENVER (AP) — Danilo Gallinari scored 23 points, hitting a crucial 3pointer in the waning seconds, and the Denver Nuggets came back to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91 Friday night after trailing for the most of the game. Kosta Koufos added a career-high 21 points and Kenneth Faried had 17 points and 11 rebounds to
help the Nuggets withstand 22 turnovers, which matched a season high and led to 24 Cleveland points. It was the fourth win in a row for the Nuggets, who beat Cleveland for the 10th time in the last 13 meetings in Denver. Kyrie Irving, playing despite an illness, scored 28 points to lead the Cavaliers. Dion Waiters
had 18 points and Tristan Thompson 16. A dunk by Thompson put the Cavaliers up 62-50 but the Nuggets got a 3pointer and a three-point play from Gallinari during an 11-0 run, pulling to 6261 with 5:43 left in the third quarter. Cleveland, which got a key 3-pointer from Luke Walton and a putback dunk from Tyler Zeller,
fought back to take a 7672 lead into the fourth quarter. After Irving’s 3-pointer from beyond the top of the key gave Cleveland an 8580 lead, the Nuggets put together a 7-0 burst, going in front 87-85 on a short hook shot by Koufos. Ty Lawson’s driving layup with 1:48 left snapped an 89-all tie and after Cleveland couldn’t
convert on its next two possessions, Gallinari connected on a key 3-pointer that boosted the Nuggets’ advantage to five with 34.9 seconds to play. C.J. Miles, who missed Wednesday’s win over Atlanta because of a back strain, hit a 3 for the final points of the second quarter to stretch the Cavaliers’ halftime lead to 56-45. It was their biggest
advantage at that point. NOTES: Walton scored eight points in his return to the Cavaliers after missing the previous two games to tend to personal matters. … Faried has 29 career double-doubles, including 17 this season. … Koufos’ previous high was 18 points, which he accomplished twice, most recently against Golden State on April 11, 2011.
