Howard officially removed from position Finance director speaks out against city manager

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com

Cavs’ Irving impressing The last teenage sensation to play for the Cavaliers carried them to new heights and the brink of a championship before dropping them and breaking an entire city’s heart.

Kyrie Irving may be just the one to heal it.

Less than one month into his NBA career, Irving is not only proving to be worthy of the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, but the smooth point guard with the sinister skills has exuded a fearlessness and confidence rarely seen in a player his age.

He’s only 19. He’s only going to get better.

The village of West Milton will soon be looking for a new manager.

Suspended municipal manager Tony Howard was permanently removed at the council meeting and public hearing Tuesday night.

The removal is effective as of Sept.

30.

The vote was 6-1, with Deb Miller giving the only vote in favor of keeping Howard. This was after she inquired if other disciplinary action could be taken, and was informed by law director Charles Sell that “his contract says we can never reduce his salary; I read that as we can’t suspend him.”

The biggest bombshell of the

hearing, though, was not the ongoing contention between Howard and many on council concerning his job performance.

Finance director Jill Grice gave a prepared statement on Howard’s conduct.

“I have been belittled, demeaned and disrespected, both personally and professionally,” she said, “I cannot tell you how many

WEST MILTON times he has disrespected me and made me feel inferior. It’s not right.”

Grice spoke about how difficult it was for her to talk about the situation because of Howard’s authority over her.

“I’ve felt trapped — it’s never a good practice to rat out your boss,”

Staff Report

Two injured in one car crash A Tuesday night crash on Troy-Sidney Road, north of Troy resulted in injuries to two of three occupants of the vehicle.

The crash occurred at 9:45 p.m. on Troy-Sidney Road at Woodhaven Drive when a 2001 Jeep Cherokee driven by Dane Widney, 43, of Piqua, apparently failed to stop at a stop sign and ran head-on into a concrete wall of a railroad overpass.

There reportedly were three occupants in the vehicle.

David Gallivan, a Miami County Christian Home Educators student, won the 2012 Miami County District Spelling Bee Wednesday.

War of words Area students battle to be named spelling champion

Gallivan, an eigth-grade student from Beavercreek, said beating his sister in the group’s spelling bee helped him advance to the districts.

“I studied for it a lot,” Gallivan said as he stood with family after winning.

MIAMI COUNTY “My mom found a word list and it had some tips that helped a lot.”

Gallivan said practicing for the bee with his sister and a simple spelling strategy was how he came out on top to out spell 11 other students Wednesday at Newton Local School.

Gallivan will represent the district at the regional spelling bee on Saturday, Feb. 25 at Sinclair Community College.

Gallivan said the opportunity to attend the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee in Washington D.C. that is televised on ESPN “would be cool.”

The plan also emphasizes the revival of the City of Dayton.

“A lot has to do with using what’s existing and trying to at least curb some of what they call ‘urban sprawl.’ It includes encouraging the rehab and repurposing of existing facilities, focusing on maintenance of existing infrastructure, and locating new developments in areas with existing infrastructure,” said City Manager Jon Crusey.

The next step in the process of hiring the first village administrator was approved Tuesday night when Covington Village Council members passed an ordinance establishing the position.

On a vote of 5-1, council approved on third reading an ordinance that sets in motion the process of hiring an administrator.

Council member Lois Newman cast the lone dissenting vote.

Mayor Ed McCord said Wednesday that the time has come for Covington to join other communities in the area in having an administrator to supervise the operations of the village government.

“It’s very important to have someone to make decisions and oversee the operations on a daily basis,” McCord said, noting that all council members have full-time jobs and the mayor’s position is a parttime job. He also said that the elected officials lack the expertise needed to make the village operations more efficient and an administrator would be able to secure grants for village projects.

The village will now proceed with the process of hiring an administrator.

McCord said tentative plans call for the administrator’s position be filled by July 1.

With the establishment of the village administrator’s position, the • See COUNCIL on Page 2

Tipp school bus involved in crash Staff Report Late Tuesday evening, the Tippecanoe High School boys’ basketball team, cheerleaders and coaches got quite a shock when their bus was hit by a car on Keowee Street in Dayton.

“Everyone was fine,” reports Communications Coordinator Sheryl Brownlee, “They’re just shook up, obviously.”

The car had slid on the icy road, hit a semi-truck, spun out of control and into

the Tippecanoe bus. It hit the bus by the back right wheel well. The accident occurred at approximately 9:45 p.m, as the team was coming home from their winning game against Oakwood.

Another bus was sent to pick everyone up and take them home safely.

The damaged bus will be fixed once the State Highway Patrol has a chance to look at it. No school routes will be affected during this time.

“This is why we have spare buses,” Brownlee said.

Willis stated Howard rented an apartment in West Milton to fulfill a former residency requirement, but only stayed there one time and still lives in Springfield.

Howard said he loved West Milton and it was due to an illness in his family that he couldn’t move.

Grim was “disturbed” that Howard didn’t disclose at the time of the interview he was undergoing a personnel and sexual harassment investigation in Mechanicsburg, his former workplace.

Howard said he was never under investigation for sexual harassment, and it wasn’t going on at the time he was interviewed.

Sell interjected that according to the law director of Mechanicsburg, there was a “specific, ongoing” investigation.

Howard said the law director was a “relatively new attorney” and didn’t know. He then added he didn’t disclose the investigation because he thought it was “absolutely bogus.”

Council

• CONTINUED FROM A1 changes to the resolution.

“If Miami County people stand together, we can make a difference,” said Mayor Dee Gillis.

Tipp City staff also reviewed the plan, and while they agreed with the general principles and characteristics of the plan, they had some concerns. A major concern was that the land use vision, with its emphasis on the preservation of natural spaces, might limit the future growth and development of the city.

Though the MVRPC makes it clear in the initiative that it encourages each community to maintain its own vision and identity, the resolution was also amended to make it clear that the city’s Comprehensive Master Development Plan will be used as a guide when making future land use decisions.

“What you don’t want to have happen is to buy into this scenario and have somebody come back at some point in the future and hold it over your head,” said Crusey.

Some council members were concerned that the initiative focuses too much on the city of Dayton and not enough on the communities in Miami County.

“Then you look at the map and see that this is a heat map of where all the development is going to be. And obviously the MVRPC is the major funnel of stimulus dollars and state aid for the region and you see we have nothing in Tipp City and you see

everything in Dayton, so you have to worry about where the money is going to go,” said Councilman Mike McDermott, referencing the MVRPC job and population growth projection maps.

The resolution did pass 4-3. Despite the concerns raised that the plan ignores Tipp City, the majority felt that by not adopting the resolution, Tipp City might not have any say in future MVRPC land use planning.

Close votes were another, though unexpected, topic at last night’s meeting.

Councilman Pat Hale took the opportunity at the end of the meeting to address the “naysayers” who say that the council doesn’t get along.

With this in mind, Hale made a breakdown of all the votes made in 2011. According to Hale, council voted in a super majority, votes of 5-2 or better, about 85 percent of the time. After the meeting, councilman Joe Gibson called Hale’s remarks a “cynical and unsightly display of pandering.”

“In his term as council president, Mr. Hale has called fellow council members “closed minded” among other things. While the 4 to 3 votes are not on each and every item on the agenda, on key issues and important votes it is indeed usually a 4 to 3 decision,” said Gibson.

“To call fellow members of council closedminded is itself divisive, and to call the people who observe this 4 to 3 situation as naysayers does a disservice to the people he has been elected to represent,” Gibson said.

Austerman beat his twin brother Greg at the school’s spelling bee to try his wordsmith skills at districts.

Austerman said he had help from both his twin brother and his father in preparing for the district spelling bee.

“I hope to beat him again and come back next year,” Austerman said.

Austerman is the son of Ben and Melissa Austerman of Casstown.

to follow council directives, and getting into fights with residents.

“I refute about 99 percent of it,” Howard said after Grim finished her list.

He also had a prepared statement combating each of the three reasons given in council’s first resolution for removal, claiming a “lack of specificity” to each.

“I can summarize everything I’ve said here with one simple statement — virtually none of the allegations in Resolution CM-11-20 have been substantiated,” he stated.

Howard added that even if the allegations had been substantiated, they “would not merit the dismissal of an employee.”

Ben Herron, who had already been acting as a temporary manager, was officially appointed as interim manager at a pro-rated salary of $62,000. Council hoped to bring on former village manager Marty Gabbard as a consultant until a new manager is hired.

“It’s not an easy circumstance for anyone,” said Herron of the whole situation, “I would like to thank (the council) publicly for having faith in me.”

Gallivan is the son of Sean and Jennifer Gallivan of Beavercreek.

The Miami County Educational Service Center annually serves as the coordinator of the District Spelling Bee for the spelling bee champions of Bethel Elementary and Junior High, Covington Elementary and Middle School, Miami County Christian Home Educators of Ohio, Miami East Elementary and Junior High, Milton-Union Elementary and Middle School and Newton Elementary and

Junior High.

The spelling bee champions represented the following schools: Jared Milliman, Bethel Elementary; Kaitlyn Parker, Bethel Junior High School; Gray Harshbarger, Elementary Covington School; Cooper Hand, Covington Middle School; Erin Redick, Miami East Junior High School; Katarina Lee, Milton-Union Elementary School; Thomas Kelly, Milton-Union Middle School; Hunter Hollis, Newton Elementary School; and Milan Bess, Newton Junior High School.

In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, Donald “Bud” Weer presented a review of BPA accomplishments for 2011.

McCord said Weer advised council that among the improvements completed last year were the installation of a new lift station in the community park and the installation of a new grinder and a new pump at the wastewater treatment plant.

BPA members also outlined future improvement projects, which include relining sanitary sewer lines and manhole rehabilitation to curb infiltration, stormwater replacement of water meters and a switch to monthly utility billing.

During the meeting council also reviewed village accomplishments for 2011, which include reorganization of the village ordinance book, reinstitution of the police committee, scheduled reviews of village issues (such as insurance coverage), maintaining balanced budgets for village departments, continued improvements to the village

website and the purchase of lots near the railroad bed for future use for a bike path.

Goals for 2012 also were discussed. McCord said among the goals are the hiring of a village administrator, planning the future Spring Street reconstruction project, exploring capital funding options for village projects, improved communication with village residents, the continued improvement of the village website and reduce stormwater infiltration into the sanitary sewer lines.

In other business council: • Approved the Ohio Revised Code.

• Were informed of appointments made by McCord, which include Dusty Furrow as street commissioner and Chris Beckstedt as Planning and Zoning Commission member.

• Changed the name of the council police committee to the safety committee to include the fire department and rescue squad, as well as the police department and established records retention and website committees.

The latter two committees will meet quarterly (or as needed), while the safety meeting will meet at 6 p.m. on the first Monday of the month and the street committee will meet at 6 p.m. on the third Monday.

The planning and zoning commission will meet at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

A busy day from start to finish THE AMISH COOK all kinds of different things.

Amish cook shares delicious steak recipe Here is a diary of a recent Friday in this household: • 3:15 a.m. Time to get up. I prepare my husband Joe’s lunch which is homemade chicken noodle soup, crackers, ranger cookies – which daughter Susan baked yesterday – and some frozen peaches. Joe like soups better than sandwiches for lunch. But he always tells me not to put too much food in his lunch because he can eat better after he is done working, so he likes a light lunch. His job is to set the cabinets in RV trailers.

He has been working for this company for more than seven years. In March it will

be eight years that we made the move from Indiana to Michigan.

• 3:45 a.m. Joe leaves for work. They start working at 5 a.m. every day but the drive takes 40 to 45 minutes. With all the slippery roads and blowing snow I hope they have a safe ride there. I go back to bed until it is time to wake the school children up.

• 6 a.m. I go to check the messages on our phone in the shed. Since the roads are slippery and snow is blowing I decide to check if there is a school delay. Someone from the school usually calls the Amish and leaves a message if there is a school delay or

cancellation. Since we don’t have radios or TVs they do this to let us know. We appreciate this very much. If it is foggy or the roads are bad I always check the voicemail on the phone before waking the children.

This morning I find that there is one that says school is cancelled for the day. I decide to let the children sleep in a little longer. When I lived in Berne we didn’t have this option since we weren’t permitted phones there, so sometimes we’d have to wait for the bus for two hours before finding out school was cancelled.

Some Amish settlements still prohibit phones on the property) • 8:30 a.m. Everyone is up and ready to eat breakfast. The girls made baked French toast and scrambled eggs for our breakfast.

• 9:30 a.m. The boys are out shoveling snow. They said they are trying to pile the snow up so they can make a tunnel under the snow. The girls and I are doing laundry, the dishes, and the weekly cleaning. I also slice and fry the poor man’s steak that I mixed together yesterday. After it is fried I layer it in a roaster and top it with cream of mushroom soup. This will be part of our supper tonight.

• 1 p.m. Lunch is ready.

We are having soup which is always good on a cold day.

• 2 p.m. Loretta and I leave to go to town. Loretta has an appointment and I need to get some groceries.

12 Months Same As Cash 2251279

Whenever I think of Super Bowl Sunday, I think of chili and guacamole and chips. And Ro-Tel cheese dip. And Frito pie.

Because face it, people love to indulge in fatty, crunchy, salty foods they can munch while milling about or standing and watching the game in suspense. And if you make a dish that combines everyone’s favorite football snacks, you’ve got a winning day regardless of who wins the game.

When I was growing up, the go-to football party food was seven-layer dip. Which is basically the same thing as Frito pie layers of Fritos corn chips, chili, cheese and other toppings.

A few months ago, I flew down South and when I arrived, I met a chef from New York who was essentially serving Frito pie, but calling it “The Walking Taco” a bunch of toppings dumped into snack-size bags of Fritos and eaten right from the bag.

I loved the name and concept, and immediately thought that it would be a great party food.

I liked the idea of offering guests bags of chips and a buffet of toppings (chili, cheeses, vegetables, etc.) to let them assemble their own walking tacos.

The medium snack bags

Add the sirloin, chuck and onions and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent.

“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.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on Rwanda’s genocide: Leon Mugesera’s time of reckoning in Rwanda may at last be at hand. That would be a good thing for Canada, which gave safe haven for nearly two decades to a man accused of crimes against humanity. And it would be an even better thing for Rwanda, and for all international efforts aimed at preventing genocide. …

Mugesera’s day in court lasted 17 years in Canada. This country is committed to due process, as it should be. At one point, he managed to convince a desperately naive Federal Court of Appeal that a 1992 speech was not an incitement to murder and genocide. “Why do they not exterminate all of them? Are we really waiting till they come to exterminate us?” he had said. And, “Do not be afraid, know that anyone whose neck you do not cut is the one who will cut your neck.”

Thankfully, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled 8-0 that, at a time of ethnic conflagration, these words and others counseled murder.

The Telegraph, London, on European summits: Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy must be getting sick of each other’s company. Certainly, the familiar sight of them sharing a joint press conference is starting to breed, if not quite contempt, then acute frustration.

For despite their near-constant summiteering, the two leaders seem no closer to accepting the reality of what is happening in the eurozone, or taking the actions necessary to save it.

A recent meeting between the German chancellor and the French president was designed to firm up the details of the “fiscal compact” agreed at the most recent European summit, and to ensure that the two largest states in Europe remain united in their attempt to ram the deal through, against any objections their neighbors might make.

Yet as we have argued before, the collective austerity measures that the compact imposes will do nothing to save the euro — they merely guarantee recession. …

Instead of addressing this issue, Merkel and Sarkozy prefer to focus on pushing through a tax on financial transactions, as punishment for the irresponsible, deregulated speculators whom they blame for the eurozone’s travails. This might gratify voters in Germany and France ahead of their respective elections, but it is economically illiterate.

Such a tax would devastate Europe’s financial services industry, while raising only a fraction of the total that will be needed to rescue the euro.

What Europe needs is fewer summits, and more clear thinking.

Why I no longer am willing to knock Knoxville Thirty years ago, my mother came to me and said, “It’s time to go on our summer vacation.

You know how all your friends are going to DisneyWorld?”

“You bet I do!” came my anxious reply.

“Well,” she said, “their parents actually love them, which is why they are going to DisneyWorld. We, on the other hand, most certainly will not be going there.”

She did, however, inform me that for our spectacular 1982 summer vacation, we would be going somewhere just as hot as Disney, just as humid as Disney, just as crowded as Disney and just as overpriced and expensive as Disney. Really, my mom informed me, we would be taking a trip that would be just like Disney — minus the magic, excitement and wonder.

Oh, and it would also be educational — just what every second grader is looking for in a summer vacation.

That’s right — the Fongs were headed to the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. Not just a county fair, not just a state fair — we were going to a World’s

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor Fair.

To which I only had one reply: “Mother, why do you hate your children so much?”

“Actually,” she said, “I love four-fifths of my children — right now I’m talking to the one I don’t love.”

And that’s how, in the middle of that blistering summer of ‘82, all seven members of the Fong family shoehorned our way into my parents’ wood-paneled station wagon (two people in the front, three in the middle, two in the back — and not a carseat or seatbelt in sight) to make the five-hour drive to Knoxville.

It was, to be sure, the longest, hottest, most awful week of my life (oddly enough, that’s the

same thing my wife says about her honeymoon, but that’s another column for another day).

To put it quite simply, Knoxville was woefully ill-equipped to host the World’s Fair. The heat was oppressive, there weren’t enough hotel rooms or parking spaces to go around, tourists were pricegouged back to the stone age and many of the attractions didn’t work. The only attraction that truly did work — the towering Sun Sphere — ended up becoming a running punchline.

Why, you ask? Find a picture and take a look at it, for crying out loud.

Really, the only positive I remember is Coca-Cola holding a monopoly over all the vending stations and my Pepsi-loving mother not being able to get a single sip of her favorite beverage so long as we were on the World’s Fair grounds. Served her right.

I did make myself a promise that week — that if and when I became a parent, I would never ever make my kids take a vacation to Knoxville, Tenn.

Of course, fate treating me the way it usually does, that

could only mean one thing — this past weekend, I made my return to Knoxville with my own family in tow. Sophie had a gymnastics meet in Knoxville and because I love her, we made the five-hour trek once again.

A funny thing happened on my highway to heck, however.

I actually had the time of my life. On this trip, I was able to indulge in some things that hadn’t been afforded to me on my first trip — namely fireworks stores and cheese grits, both of which I loaded up on in mass quantities. I got to spend time with my wife, our children and even our good friend Slacker Mom — all of whom are a major upgrade over the family I grew up with. Sophie crushed her gymnastics routines and a good time was had by all.

All of which can only lead me to one conclusion.

The vacation was great.

It was my family that needed work.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Father’s lack of discipline isn’t doing his sons any favors Dear Annie: I am in a relationship with a widower. He is a thoughtful person and works two jobs.

His two adult sons live in his home with their girlfriends.

Neither of the boys pays rent. Nor do they buy groceries or cleaning supplies. They never offer to take their father out to dinner or do anything special for him. Their father buys their vehicles and pays their insurance.

The house is in shambles. The boys' only responsibility is to take the trash to the dump and mow the yard in the summer. They do this grudgingly and not very well.

The boys show little respect for their father. They leave beer bottles and dirty dishes all over the kitchen and their shoes, dirty clothes and trash all over the house. No one cleans a bathroom or vacuums a floor. They are busy working out, doing what they want with their friends or going out drinking. One of the girlfriends is always broke and looking for a handout, but she has money to get hammered every weekend. She doesn't lift a finger around the house and has the nerve to tell my boyfriend what he needs to buy to make her more comfortable.

My boyfriend thinks that this is normal behavior and that I am the one with the problem. He believes it is his responsibility to take care of them, because they don't have "good" jobs that pay a lot of money.

He would never kick them out.

We don't live together and never will under these circumstances. My boyfriend reads your column every day. Will you tell him I'm not the only one who thinks this situation stinks? — Kick 'Em Out! Dear Kick: Some parents have such soft spots for their children that they become enablers, allowing the kids to postpone adulthood. This is unfortunate for the children. They never learn to support themselves or manage their money and are forever dependent on others to take care of them.

However, these are not your children, and how your boyfriend chooses to deal with them is only your business if you marry him.

Right now, we don't recommend it.

Dear Annie: I have been at my job for more than 20 years and will be retiring soon. Co-workers have been asking whether I would like a party and gifts. I've made it clear that I want absolutely nothing and politely suggested that they donate to the local food bank.

I don't like these people. I will not "keep in touch." I am happy to leave this miserable job. So if they give me a cake or gifts, is it OK to simply express my thanks, or do I have to send a thank-you note? All gifts will end up in the trash, and I have no intention of participating in any celebration. — New York Grouch Dear Grouch: Verbal thanks are sufficient for an office cake or party. If you are given a gift, however, a thank-you note is in order.

We think you can manage it, especially because it's likely to be the last communication you will have with these people. It never hurts to depart on a gracious note.

Dear Annie: Our experience as an over-50 couple has been entirely different from that of the couple who were having the problems with intimacy.

When my husband and I retired, we both got back in shape after 40 years behind desks. I felt better and younger than I did at 25. I took up belly-dancing, and even though I can't seem to make it past the beginner level, my husband thinks it is very sexy. I try to build up his confidence in the bedroom even when things are less than perfect, and he does the same for me. We both have loads of fun trying new things, and after this many years, there is absolutely no pressure to perform. Sex after 50 is awesome. — Flirtin' in Florida Dear Florida: Good for you!

We love your attitude.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Readers weigh in on open-and-shut shoppers Dear Readers: Here is more input from a recent column in which a reader saw a shopper open a bottle of barbecue sauce, stick her finger in it and taste it.

Apparently, she didn’t like it, so she put the lid back on and put the jar back on the shelf. A manager was made aware of the situation, and he said he would take care of the problem.

Two days later, the shopper went to the store and checked the barbecue-sauce aisle, and the opened bottle was still on the shelf!

I asked for your input, and here is what just a few had to say: • Spiced Up in New Jersey had this to say: “I would have

Hints from Heloise Columnist been all over the situation. I would have stopped them dead in their tracks right there in the aisle with a finger-wagging ’shame on you.’ Forget the store manager — he does not want to rock the boat and lose a customer. Opening, sampling, then putting food back is not only theft, it’s a violation of health

code and should be reported, especially since it was discovered that the manager never removed the opened jars from the shelf.”

• Richard P. from Houston had this to say: “Something similar happened to me. I purchased some yogurt recently. The individual tubs, with foil caps, were stacked on the shelf, so I just grabbed a stack of three. On placing them on the cash-register belt, I noticed that one of the foil caps looked odd. Someone had peeled back the foil, swiped a finger through the yogurt, pushed the foil back and then replaced the container under an intact container. Needless to say, I left it with the cashier, but I’m constantly amazed at how rude

some people can be.”

• Jennifer E., via email, shared an experience. It’s not exactly the same situation, but it bears reading: “I purchased contact-lens solution and normally check the date, but was in a rush and didn’t. Imagine my chagrin to discover the solution was expired! I returned to the store, told them and advised them to dispose of the outdated solution. On my next trip, I checked and discovered they’d merely put the outdated solution at the very back of the shelf, instead of throwing it out.”

So, readers, what’s your take?

The disgusting habits by some cause us all to pay a little more at the store. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Thursday, Jan. 19, 2012 It behooves you to raise your goals a few notches higher than usual in the year ahead. Even if you have to convince yourself that you’re capable of higher achievements, know that your chances for success are better than normal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It doesn’t look like any old accounts will be squared up with you, because, unfortunately, others might not show you the same consideration that you’ve shown them in the past.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There’s a possibility that, carelessly, you could talk to the wrong person and reveal something meant to be confidential. That which should be kept secret could become common knowledge.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Honestly examine your motives about your poor behavior toward a friend. If you’re treating him or her badly because of envy, you need to clean up your act fast.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A failure to take a firm stance on an important issue could prove to be unforgivable to those who need your support. Trying to stay out of it makes you look like a traitor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If helpmates do not live up to your expectations, the fault might not be entirely theirs. It could be due in most part to the faulty instructions you gave them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Unless you’ve learned from past experiences to keep your guard up, you’re destined to suffer the same unpleasant results again from someone with a smooth tongue and low motives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Because neither you nor your mate are likely to be at your best when it comes to making a major decision, it would be smart to wait until at least one of you has your head on straight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Unless you properly plan the logistics of your day, you could end up spending a lot of time being extremely busy but accomplishing little to nothing. Avoid all that wasted effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — This is one of those rare days when you could be too much of a risk-taker for your own good. If you go in where the odds are stacked against you, don’t expect to be bailed out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your chart indicates that this could be one of those days when you simply can’t believe in yourself and, as a result, have a tendency to throw in the towel just when victory is in sight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unless you find a balance in situations where you should be bold, you’ll be unduly cautious. Conversely, when you should be wary, you’ll end up being far too reckless.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If buying some special merchandise, don’t permit your desires to exceed your means and cause you to spend beyond your ceiling price. You might end up much wiser, but sadder as well.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Jan. 19, the 19th day of 2012. There are 347 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 19, 1862, Union forces won a victory over the Confederates in the Civil War Battle of Mill Springs in southeastern Kentucky.

On this date: • In 1807, Confederate general Robert E. Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Va. • In 1937, millionaire Howard Hughes set a transcontinental air record by flying his monoplane

from Los Angeles to Newark, N.J., in 7 hours, 28 minutes and 25 seconds.

• In 1955, a presidential news conference was filmed for television for the first time, with the permission of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

• In 1966, Indira Gandhi was elected prime minister of India.

• In 1981, the United States and Iran signed an accord paving the way for the release of 52 Americans held hostage for more than 14 months.

• Ten years ago: Israeli troops

set off a powerful explosion that gutted the official Palestinian broadcasting building, dealing another retaliatory blow two days after a Palestinian gunman killed six Israelis at a bat mitzvah celebration.

• Today’s Birthdays: Actress Jean Stapleton is 89. Country singer Dolly Parton is 66. TV chef Paula Deen is 65. Rock singer Martha Davis is 61. Actress Katey Sagal is 58. Comedian Paul Rodriguez is 57. Actor Shawn Wayans is 41. Comedian-impressionist Frank Caliendo is 38.

Widespread snowstorm wallops Pacific Northwest OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A winter storm that packed winds of 100 mph and dumped more than a foot of snow in the Pacific Northwest could soon give way to another threat: warmer weather and the potential for flooding.

On Wednesday, at least, some residents in Washington state’s capital tried to find a way to enjoy the abundance of snow in a region not used to huge snowfalls.

“I love it,” said teenager Emily Hansen, who had the day off from high school and spent the morning with her mother taking photos of the growing piles of snow outside the Capitol.

Her mother, however, was more measured, mindful of what the days ahead could bring. “A day or two it’s fun, but after a while you start looking at accidents and slush and flooding,” Pat Hansen said.

From Olympia to the Oregon coast, the storm closed schools, caused dozens of flight cancellations and clogged roads with snow and hundreds of accidents.

Olympia had nearly a foot of new snow on the ground by late morning.

Nearly 11 inches was measured at the airport Wednesday. The record is 14.2 inches on Jan. 24, 1972.

Lewis County, south of Olympia, had the highest snowfall amounts, ranging from 12 to 17 inches.

“It’s unusual to get this much snow for western

spokesman Bob Calkins said.

“I saw a guy in my rear mirror,” said State Trooper Guy Gill. “I saw headlights and taillights and headlights and taillights again as he spun around off the road.”

In Oregon, high winds hammered parts of the coast and caused power outages to tens of thousands of customers, with reports of gusts of 110 mph and more. There were no immediate reports of serious damage.

At the Capitol in Washington state, it was business as usual.

Some state employees drove into work, but others AP PHOTO walked in, and at least one Charles Hetrick wears a kilt as he plays with “Zeus,” his Chow-German Shepherd mix in the snow, Wednesday, employee was seen crossin Tacoma, Wash.

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.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

DB Jones guilty of disorderly conduct

PHOTOS COURTESY LEE WOOLERY/SPEEDSHOT PHOTO

Troy’s Kristen Wood drives past Fairborn’s Brianna Gladney (32) during Wednesday night’s 46-36 Trojan loss at the Trojan Activities Center.

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Troy’s Kristen Wood’s buzzerbeating 3 may have been more spectacular than Brooklyn Pumroy’s.

But Fairborn’s Pumroy, Alexis Gassion and company put together a string of big plays in the second half — and while they weren’t as flashy, they still added up.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.

Jones entered the plea in Hamilton County Municipal Court just as his non-jury trial was scheduled to begin. A second misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was dismissed in a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Judge Brad Greenberg ordered Jones to serve a year of probation, complete 50 hours of community service and pay a $250 fine plus court costs. Jones could have received a maximum jail sentence of 30 days.

Jones, 28, was accused in court documents of being disorderly, shouting profanities and trying to pull away as officers arrested him at a downtown bar in July.

At the time, Jones was on probation in Las Vegas in connection with a 2007 no contest plea to a strip club melee that left three people wounded. He was ordered in November to perform an additional 75 hours of community service for violating that probation with the Cincinnati arrest.

Jones apologized in court to police for his conduct and said he realized that he “could have handled it a whole lot better.” The judge told Jones that he did not know how “someone with your ability risks your career with this type of behavior.”

TROY Pumroy banked in a 3 at the first-quarter buzzer that kicked off a 13-point Skyhawk run that proved to be the difference Wednesday night as the Trojans’ scrooge-like defense gave Troy a chance late, but Fairborn hit its free throws in the final minute to come away with a 46-36 victory at the Trojan Activities Center.

Eight of Fairborn’s points during the 13-point run came on the fast break, kicked off either

by Gassion rebounds on the defensive end or by Pumroy steals.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Don’t tell Cincinnati how hard it is to win road games in the Big East.

Sean Kilpatrick hit a 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left and Cincinnati beat No. 13 Connecticut 70-67 on Wednesday night for its seventh straight conference road victory.

Kilpatrick scored 16 points to lead five Bearcats in double figures as Cincinnati (15-4, 5-1 Big East) withstood two big UConn second-half runs and a half-court shot by Niels Giffey at the buzzer that rimmed out.

Cashmere Wright and Yancy Gates each had 13 points for Cincinnati, which sits just behind Syracuse for the conference lead.

“We’re to a point now mentally that our guys believe that if we play well, we can beat anybody,” Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. “That’s a big key for us.”

No ordinary rookie Cavs’ Irving impressing already

Wozniacki moves on to 3rd round Caroline Wozniacki advanced to the third round at the Australian Open on Wednesday, and there were still three women in the field who had a chance of replacing her at the top of the women’s rankings. See Page 15.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The last teenage sensation to play for the Cavaliers carried them to new heights and the brink of a championship before dropping them and breaking an entire city’s heart.

Kyrie Irving may be just the one to heal it.

Less than one month into his NBA career, Irving is not only proving to be worthy of the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, but the smooth point guard with the sinister skills has exuded a fearlessness and confidence rarely seen in a player his age.

He’s only 19. He’s only going to get better.

“Watch him two years from

now,” Charlotte coach Paul Silas said this week after Irving dropped 25 points and seven assists in a win over the Hornets.

“He’s going to be unbelievable.”

Irving may be there already.

Other than an off-shooting night in his debut against Toronto, Irving has been sensational. He’s averaging 17.7 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in just 28 minutes per game. In his past six games five on the road he’s averaged 21.8 points and 5.2 assists for the Cavs, who thanks in part to their AP PHOTO young star are off to a surprising 6-7 start after winning 19 games Cleveland Cavaliers rookie guard Kyrie Irving goes to the basket against the Detroit Pistons Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2011 in Auburn ■ See IRVING on 15 Hills, Mich.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “They’re big-time playmakers,” Fairborn coach Steve Hannaford said.

“That’s why someone’s paying them to go to college.

And some of the other girls are doing their jobs well.”

Pumroy — who is headed to Marquette — scored a game-high 18 points and had five assists and five steals for the Skyhawks (11-2), while Gassion — who is still being “heavily recruited” according to Hannaford — added 12 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals.

“They’re a lot more athletic than we are, and they’ve got a couple of bigtime playmakers,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “I thought the girls played hard. Very seldom do I ever question our effort. We just weren’t able to string together enough to get the win.

“They got some momentum off of Pumroy’s 3 at the end of the first and got some easy baskets.”

But Troy (8-5) was able to edge its way back into the game in the third, holding Fairborn to two points over the first six minutes of the quarter.

“We like to run, especially if someone is setting up a zone against us,” Hannaford said. “We want to get back before they can set up. We’ve faced a lot of zone and some other funny stuff this year, so we’ll keep working at it.

“If Nathan keeps the score down, his teams do well. They’ve played us the same way for the past few years now. They play really stingy defense.”

“When playing a team like that, you’ve got to play at a slowdown pace and take them out of what they want to do,” Kopp said. “We just didn’t do enough to get the job done.”

Troy’s offense struggled to capitalize on Fairborn’s scoring woes, though, only outscoring the Skyhawks 76 in the third — until Wood launched a desperation 3 from just beyond halfcourt that didn’t hit anything but net, making the score 34-25 heading into the fourth.

“She was on the move and a bit past halfcourt.

There’s not a lot of high school kids that can hit that shot,” Kopp said.

A 3 by Mackenzie Schulz got Troy within eight early in the fourth, and Wood’s third 3 of the game cut the Fairborn advantage to six with 1:23 to go — but Pumroy and Dominique Redmon each hit a pair of free throws in the final

“We cut it to six with 1:23 to go and made the decision to foul. But when you do that, you’ve got to do the little things right,” Kopp said. “We didn’t get a rebound on a miss, we didn’t foul the person we wanted to — we didn’t do the little things. And against a team like that, you have to.”

“It’s good to know that we can be patient,” Hannaford said. “If we’re way ahead and a team is playing zone, I told the girls they don’t have to do anything. But Nathan switched to man, and we had to rely on our foul shots. And we hit a few.”

Reserve score: Fairborn won.

Cleveland coach Byron Scott didn’t name him a starter until hours before the opener, and Irving hasn’t given Scott any reason to regret the decision.

Irving didn’t come in expecting any handouts or promises. His only goal was to earn Scott’s faith.

“I work hard every single day and just earn his trust as much as I can in every single game,” he said. “He understands that I’m young, but he trusted me enough to go out there and start and run the team, so it’s an honor and I just want to continue to grow, especially with coach

Scott.

“It’s a perfect system for everybody. It’s a young team with some good veterans on it, but I feel like this team can be really special.”

Scott has been careful not to pour too much praise on his point guard prodigy, but sometimes Cleveland’s second-year coach can’t help himself. Scott played with Magic Johnson, coached Chris Paul and Jason Kidd and knows special talent when he sees it.

Irving is the complete package, and already plays with the courage and confidence of a seasoned 10year veteran.

Irving ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 last season.

Irving can do the routine and the spectacular, performing both with uncanny ease. He’s not afraid to take big shots, something LeBron James never mastered in Cleveland and continues to struggle with in Miami.

When things get tight, Irving not only wants the ball he demands it.

He can seemingly drive to the basket against any defender, and his ability to finish at the rim with either hand makes him a nightmare to guard. His mid-range jumper is better

than advertised and Irving’s not afraid to pull the trigger on a 3-pointer.

The game doesn’t seem too big, which is remarkable since Irving’s college career at Duke consisted of 11 games before a significant foot injury cost him his freshman year and probably prevented the Blue Devils from defending their national title.

It all appears to be coming easy for him, but Irving insists that isn’t the case.

“Not at all,” he said with a grin. “It’s been tough.”

Irving is taking it all in stride as he steers through his first season as a pro.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Shabazz Napier had a career-high 27 points to lead Connecticut (14-4, 43), which lost for the first time at home this season.

Cincinnati took 26 shots from behind the arc, hitting 11 of them.

Xavier 68, Saint Joseph’s 55 CINCINNATI — Mark Lyons scored 17 points on Wednesday night, and point guard Tu Holloway had a season-high 12 assists in a spread-itaround offense that swept Xavier to its fourth straight victory, 68-55 over Saint Joseph’s.

The Musketeers (13-5, 4-1 Atlantic 10 Conference) took control with an 18-2 run early in the second half led by their senior point guard.

Ohio 87, Kent St. 65 ATHENS — Walter Offutt led five Ohio doublefigure scorers with a career-high 19 points and the Bobcats defeated Kent State 87-65 on Wednesday night.

D.J. Cooper added 18 points, Nick Kellogg 15, Ivo Baltic 11 and Reggie Keely 10 for the Bobcats.

BG 65, Miami 57 MIAMI, Ohio — Jordon Crawford had 25 points, leading four Bowling Green players in double-figure scoring as the Falcons dropped Miami (Ohio) 6557 on Wednesday night.

A’uston Calhoun added 13 points while Scott Thomas had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Falcons (8-9, 2-2 Mid-American Conference), who overcame a halftime deficit to clinch the win. Dee Brown also chipped in 10 points.

Buffalo 82, Akron 70 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Zach Filzen scored 21 points and Buffalo defeated Akron 8270 on Wednesday night.

The Bulls trailed 22-20 with 9 minutes left in the first half and scored the next seven points. Titus Robinson’s three-point play started the spurt.

Nebraska 70, No. 11 Indiana 69 LINCOLN, Neb. — Jorge Brian Diaz made two free throws with 11 seconds left to give Nebraska the lead, Indiana couldn’t score on its last possession, and

the struggling Cornhuskers upset No. 11 70-69 on Indiana Wednesday night for the Hoosiers’ third straight loss.

Indiana (15-3, 3-4) squandered a 13-point, second-half lead as Nebraska (10-8, 2-5) posted its biggest victory as a new member of the Big Ten. Jordan Hulls missed on a driving layup, then recovered the loose ball and missed a desperation shot from in front of his bench as time ran out. The ball bounced back toward Hulls, and he kicked it in defeat as Nebraska’s student section emptied and rushed the court. Bo Spencer led the Huskers with 23 points, Toney McCray had 11 and Diaz and Dylan Talley 10 apiece. Cody Zeller led the Hoosiers with 18 points, and Hulls added 12.

No. 12 Murray St. 66, Morehead St. 60 MOREHEAD, Ky. — Isaiah Canaan scored 20 points and undefeated rallied to beat Morehead State in its toughest Ohio Valley Conference challenge so far.

Murray State (19-0, 7-0) trailed by nine with just under 13 minutes to play before rallying behind Canaan and Donte Poole, who added 15 points, to remain one of two unbeaten teams in men’s Division I basketball along with No. 1 Syracuse.

Drew Kelly scored 20 points for Morehead State (9-11, 3-4). The Eagles led 46-37 after a basket by Milton Chavis, but the Racers rallied, using a 10-0 run to take the lead against the defending OVC tournament champions.

N0. 19 Creighton 66, Missouri St. 65 SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Gregory Echenique scored 16 points, and Doug McDermott added 15 to help Creighton beat Missouri State.

Echenique was 5 of 6 from the field, made all six of his free throws and added seven rebounds for the Bluejays (17-2, 7-1 Missouri Valley Conference).

Anthony Downing had 14 points for Missouri State (11-9, 4-4).

Wozniacki advances, No. 8 Fish ousted M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Just the mention of Rory McIlroy’s name elicited a smile from Caroline Wozniacki.

The top-ranked Dane advanced to the third round at the Australian Open on Wednesday, and there were still three women in the field who had a chance of replacing her at the top of the women’s rankings. But instead of the usual questions about how she plans to end her drought at Grand Slam tournaments,

she was asked if her boyfriend might be able to help her win her first major.

She smiled, paused, then relayed some of the advice McIlroy offered that helped him overcome similar pressure and win a golf major.

“Well, it’s just about you can’t really do anything about the past,” Wozniacki said. “You just need to look forward. You have a tournament now, and you want to do the best you can. That’s it.

“Then if it goes well, it’s great. If not, you have the next one. It’s like tennis.”

Also Wednesday, secondranked Rafael Nadal advanced without much trouble from his injured right knee or from German veteran Tommy Haas in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win. Four-time champion Roger Federer didn’t even need to pick up a racket because Andreas Beck withdrew from their second-round match.

The top-ranked American man bowed out

when No. 8 Mardy Fish lost to Alejandro Falla of Colombia 7-6 (4), 6-3, 7-6 (6). But No. 16 John Isner survived a five-setter to beat former Wimbledon finalist David Nalbandian, who was enraged by an umpire who didn’t allow him to challenge a disputed line call because he took too long to ask for a review.

McIlroy was considered a major golf talent on the cusp of a breakthrough when he blew a four-stroke lead and lost last year’s

Masters. He handled it with such humility that it didn’t surprise anyone when he rebounded to win the U.S. Open two months later, when he was 22.

Wozniacki has been on the precipice, losing the 2009 U.S. Open final. Since then, she’s held the yearend No. 1 ranking twice but never returned to a championship match. Meanwhile, she’s struck up a relationship with the golfer from Northern Ireland.

The 21-year-old Dane

has taken up golf, to learn more about the game that she says is more about beating the course than other players.

“Of course, you can learn a lot, because when you’re leading or if you have a putt, you know, you make it nine out of 10 times in practice, but it can be really difficult,” she said. “It’s just a good way to learn the mental state of things in their game as well, and in a way to also try to get some of it over to the tennis.”
