That figure is 0.9 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, officials said.

Monument gets $7.5M for repairs Despite a billionaire history buff’s pledge of $7.5 million to speed up repairs on the Washington Monument, officials say the complex work could last until August 2013 — two years after the landmark was damaged by an earthquake.

Businessman David Rubenstein said he was inspired to help fund the repairs to the 555-foot obelisk when it became clear how severely damaged it was by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake Aug. 23. The National Park Service and nonprofit Trust for the National Mall announced Rubenstein’s gift Thursday morning.

Kodak workers bracing for pain ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — The ripple effect from Eastman Kodak Co.’s bankruptcy reorganization extends in many directions: Employees brace again for layoffs, retirees fret over health care coverage, and the photography icon’s biggest creditors and stakeholders — from movie studios and big-box retailers to CEO Antonio Perez — are preparing for a sharp sting in their pocketbooks.

funds.” He added that Perry hasn’t ruled out running again for governor or the White House in 2016 if President Barack Obama is re-elected.

Perry ended his campaign where he launched it last August, when tea party and evangelical Christian leaders hailed him as a charismatic conservative and some early polls showed him as a front-runner for the Republican nomination.

But soon after, Perry’s verbal gaffes and poor debate performances sent his campaign into a tailspin from which it never recovered.

It was too soon to tell whether Perry’s rocky turn on the national stage had

damaged him politically at home. But already there were signs of his diminished clout.

Several Texas donors who fueled his bid indicated they were likely to back Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is considered the more moderate candidate in the race. And South Carolina House speaker David Wilkins, who had supported Perry, ignored the governor’s recommendation and shifted his support to Romney, too.

it will go in the direction you need to,” he said. “I’m not the kind of guy who just picks up the boat and moves it.”

Kline’s experience in city infrastructure goes into the public sector as well. He and his wife, Debbie, moved to Mason, Ohio, in 1996 when she got a job with Fifth Third Bank corporate offices. Originally, Kline was going to take an administrator position with the town of Reading.

But then he realized that they were moving to an area where they knew no one. That meant his two daughters, then 4 and 7 years old, would be stuck with whatever babysitter or child care the Klines could find. That was too haphazard for Matt.

“I told (the city of Reading) ‘thank you for the offer, but no thank you,’” Kline said.

For the next two years, until both his girls were old enough to be in school, Kline was a stay-at-home dad.

“That is absolutely the best decision I’ve ever made in my life, because I’m real tight with my kids,” Kline said.

While he was staying at home, the city started to pursue the expansion of Tylersville Road, which at that time was a two-lane “cowpath,” as Kline puts it. But there was a dissension between “old Mason” and “new Mason,” or the people who had lived in the area their whole lives and those

Kline poses for a photo recently. who had recently moved to the city.

The “new Masons” were the ones who were pushing for not expanding, mainly because they felt it would increase traffic. Kline agreed with the “old Masons,” who were pushing for the road expansion.

He went to a public meeting held about the issue, and by the end of two hours of complaints, he had had enough.

“I stood up, gave my two cents and my credentials, sat back down, and didn’t think anything of it,” Kline said. A week later, he got a phone call from the Mason city manager, who asked him what he would say if he heard the opposition group was going

Perry

to put the issue on the ballot.

“My immediate response was there needs to be a pro-active group to oppose them,” Kline said.

The manager’s reply was “great, there’s a meeting next week.” At that meeting, Kline sat next to residents who had lived in Mason for 40 to 50 years – and he was the one elected chairman. Although bewildered by their choice because he had lived in Mason such a short time, Kline got to work with his team.

“We met every week, and through our campaign really educated the people,” he said. “We said ‘here’s why we need this road.’”

So did the campaign work?

“We soundly defeated the opposition and got the road built,” Kline said with a grin.

The next question from city staff and council was if he would run for council.

“I kept saying no,” he said, “I told them I didn’t volunteer for this position so I could get elected.”

So instead, the mayor appointed Kline to the zoning commission.

Eventually, the city manager recruited Kline to work for him, and after

being a resident for many years, Kline ran and was elected to council.

When personal circumstances dictated he needed full-time work again, Kline and his family ended up moving to Sandusky in late 2008.

Kline worked as a city manager, but was turned off by northern politics.

“It was a rude awakening for me,” he said. “Northern politics are very personal – it’s a different animal.”

Sandusky, which houses Cedar Point, is gray most of the time – literally. Kline saw the atmosphere as a gray one as well.

“There seems to be a gloom, more of a depression (than southern and middle Ohio) – it seems to affect people’s attitudes,” he said. “Heck, the weather’s nicer down here; maybe that has something to do with it.”

So when Kline saw the position for West Milton come available, he jumped on it.

“West Milton is exactly what the doctor ordered,” he said, “Everyone I’ve met has been friendly and welcoming. The staff and village’s attitude has been ‘thank you for coming, now let’s get to work.’”

state as a leading state, and he wants to continue that and expand it.”

The Texas Democratic Party was ready Thursday to begin exploiting any perceived weakness created by Perry’s decision and called on him to focus on problems at home, including legal questions about the constitutionality of the school finance system as well as water shortages and greenhouse gas emissions.

Perry’s biggest supporters, in turn, welcomed him home. Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business, said “Gov. Perry has always been good for Texas business.”

Mark Jones, chairman of political science department at Rice University, said Perry risks becoming a lame-duck governor and must not rule out seeking a fourth term if he hopes to continue being effective.

“As long as he can maintain the illusion that he could be governor through 2019, that allows him to maintain authority not only among the legislators, but also among donors, lobbyists and his appointees,” Jones said.

Tubbs, who was arraigned last week after his extradition from Fort Wayne, Ind., remains behind bars at the Miami County Jail on an increased bond of $1.1 million, which Gutmann ordered.

He has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated robbery, having a weapon while under disability, trafficking drugs and a probation violation — all felonies.

If convicted as charged, Tubbs faces more than two decades in prison.

Authorities charged Tubbs with the shooting of Michal Butts of Piqua, who was shot four times at close range while sitting in his car during a reported drug deal in the 1300 block of Forest Avenue near Fountain Park in December.

Butts spent a week in the hospital before he was released and sustained gunshot wounds to the chin, the right chest, the right abdomen and the right arm, family members said.

Following the shooting, Tubbs fled the area and was not apprehended until three days before Christmas in Fort Wayne without incident. Since that time he was in custody of Indiana authorities until he was extradited back to Miami County last week.

Trustees OK choice of polling location Staff Reports

MONROE TWP.

Monroe Township Trustees approved a contract with Miami County Board of Elections at a Jan. 17 trustees meeting, which provides the Michaels Road maintenance facility as a polling place for one precinct again for 2012.

The dates agreed to are for the 2012 primary election from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. March 6, and the general election, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 6.

Another contract approved by the trustees Tuesday evening is to fund the Tipp Monroe Cable Access Commission in 2012 in the amount of $26,000, those funds being derived from the video service provider fees received by the township from Time Warner Cable.

These semi-annual installments of $13,000 each will help this commission conduct “a variety of organized and continuing cable access programs” during the 2012 calendar year.

The board also passed a 2012 proposed temporary appropriations totaling $705,000 for the first three months of this year.

This gives the board spending authority until the permanent appropriations are approved.

After establishing 2012 blanket certificates for accounting purposes, the

board approved bill payments totaling $42,706.24.

During a report, it was noted participants in the Jan. 14 recycling event equaled 139, and pounds of paper shredded by Angie Shred at this same event totaled 409.

As a charged shredding service to area residents, Angie Shred of Troy plans next to be at the township’s maintenance facility on the spring date from 8:30-11:30 a.m. May 12.

The township holds a recycling event the second Saturday of each month for residents of Monroe Township and accepts such recyclable materials as glass, plastic, tin, aluminum, paper and cardboard. For information about Angie Shred, individuals can call 332-0300.

In other business, the trustees reviewed appropriate steps for owners of Cedar Springs Pavilion to prepare for an outdoor concert charity event in the summer of 2012.

The owners also have been advised to seek further information from the Miami Planning and Zoning office prior to this event.

The next township meeting will be at 7 p.m. Feb. 6.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP China Today, Beijing, on the Chinese economy: China’s resilient trade data is much-needed good news for the world economy, which is threatened by the lingering European debt troubles and uncertainties arising from the forthcoming U.S. presidential election.

U.S. policymakers who are reportedly planning to create a government task force to monitor China over trade and currency issues, should take a hard look at the latest Chinese trade figures.

That does not mean they should misuse these statistics to help score political points with voters by blaming China for the woes of the U.S. economy. Instead, they should seriously reflect on whether their country can learn and benefit from China’s progress in rebalancing its growth model for sustainable development.

The latest statistics show that China’s trade volume increased 22.5 percent year-on-year to hit a record $3.4 trillion in 2011.

We have seen the testing of two missile systems, the threat to block the passage of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the warning from an Iranian general that U.S. aircraft carriers should not re-enter the Gulf.

The Iranian government is in financial and political trouble. The economy is collapsing and dissent, both within the leadership and among ordinary Iranians, is growing. Faced with this, the regime is ratcheting up tension militarily so that it can exploit the one clear option that it has left, nationalism. Whatever the populace may think about their government, there can be little doubt that most Iranians would rally around the flag if their country were attacked or seemed to be in imminent danger of attack. …

Any attempt to close the Straits of Hormuz would be provocative in the extreme. However, it must be asked if this is anything but a bluff.

To close the channel would block its own oil exports as well as those of the other countries around the Gulf. Nor should one crucial fact be forgotten: The bulk of oil exports from Gulf ports goes to Asia, with one of the most important customers for most Gulf oil states being China.

If Iran genuinely wants stability and security in the region, it should press the reset button, simply by permitting a full inspection of its nuclear program.

Unfortunately Teheran so far refuses, either because its nuclear plans are indeed anything but civil, or possibly because such a move might appear as weakness, a caving in to the hated US. Thus, with every further saber rattle from both Washington and Teheran, this most obvious course seems ever more unlikely.

DOONESBURY

King march gives new perspective on what matters I attended my first city of Troy’s observance of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday.

I’m ashamed to admit it took me this long to fully grasp the gravity of what the civil rights movement really meant to our nation.

Like most assignments, I generally have an idea of what to expect when I walk through the door or sit down with folks.

Despite having lived in downtown Troy for three years, I never attended the King Team’s annual march down Market Street to a local church for the service.

And obviously, neither have most Troy residents.

Now, there were a more than 40 to 50 people who gathered to sing, pray and symbolically reenact the marches that were numerous during the turbulent times of the civil rights movement. In these times, marches are rare. Our generation merely will “Occupy” a general amount of space for extended periods of time.

The people come to them, not the other way around. As I walked along the streets with the people, I was moved by the symbolism of the march through Troy.

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist Yet, I was more stirred by the Rev. Collier’s message inside the doors of St. John’s United Church of Christ.

During the Miami County Choir’s amazing musical selections that brought tears to my eyes and some pep in my step, I couldn’t help but notice the number of people who attended the service.

Why weren’t more people there? There were a few city council members, but not all of them were there. There were a few church leaders there, but not all of them were there.

The small crowd packed the pews of the small sanctuary, but there was room for more. But every child was out of school for the day. Government offices and businesses are closed. Why wasn’t

the church overflowing with people on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day? How is it that hundreds of thousands of people will line up for a parade in the summer swelter or flock to the levee of the Great Miami River for food, but only a few could stand the wind or chilly temperatures for less than 20 minutes and two downtown blocks?

I may be a simple, white-as-aloaf of bread country girl, but I’m not ignorant enough to believe that racism has been all but washed away. We all know which neighborhoods are the “good neighborhoods” when buying a house or renting an apartment.

We do the same with our schools, our grocery stores and even our shopping centers. Anybody remember the Salem Mall? You buy your gas from what service station?

It’s still part of our culture. It’s still ugly. And I can’t say it’s getting better or if it‘s getting worse.

It‘s just still out there — but not in my house. You see, one of my best friend’s husband is black and they have three children together.

JJ and Evan have been best friends since they were born. The twins are the daughters I never

had. They add so much light to my boring life when they are all here with me. Last year, I took the boys to an indoor pool in Vandalia as part of Evan‘s birthday. A woman sat next to me and chit-chatted about how nice the pool was and what a break it provided us from cabin fever. Then, this stranger asked which child was mine, I pointed to my boys.

“That one is mine and that one is mine,” I said as I pointed as they played under a fountain. I then saw the slow wheels of confusion spinning in her mind. “Who knew brothers could look so alike?” I then walked away.

Now I know I was being difficult, but I was so annoyed when I saw how hard she was trying to figure out which child was “mine.”

I love them both. And I couldn’t help but think of the old Sunday school song during Monday’s message: Red or yellow, black or white, THEY are precious in HIS sight.

Jesus loves the little children of the world. Amen.

Hope to see your smiles there next year. You’ll be glad you went.

Washington Monument gets $7.5M for quake repairs WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite a billionaire history buff’s pledge of $7.5 million to speed up repairs on the Washington Monument, officials say the complex work could last until August 2013 — two years after the landmark was damaged by an earthquake.

Businessman David Rubenstein said he was inspired to help fund the repairs to the 555-foot obelisk when it became clear how severely damaged it was by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake Aug. 23. The National Park Service and nonprofit Trust for the National Mall announced Rubenstein’s gift Thursday morning. It is the largest gift to the nonprofit group that’s working to restore the mall.

The repair job will be no easy task, though. A design process is under way to determine how to do the work, and federal officials hopes to award a contract by August to begin construction. From there it will take about a year, according to the best estimates.

The repairs may involve building huge scaffolding around the monument, as was the case during a restoration project from 1999 to 2001. Officials said they don’t yet know whether scaffolding will be necessary.

Bob Vogel, superintendent of the National Mall, said the park service is working to get the monument reopened as quickly as possible. But such an undertaking has never been done before, so the exact timeline is uncertain.

“This is a complex job,” Vogel said. “This is a one-of-a-kind structure that poses challenges for repair that other buildings don’t.”

Rubenstein, a co-founder of the large private equity firm The Carlyle Group, has quickly become Washington’s foremost philanthropist. He is among the nation’s wealthiest people, joining Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in pledging to give away at least half of their wealth to charity.

In the past five years, Rubenstein has spent more than $83 million to support the capital city’s cultural scene through cash donations and purchases of historic documents — including copies of the Magna Carta and Emancipation Proclamation — to be shown in national museums. Just last month, he gave $4.5 million to save the

Hazel knew how to work. As a small

child she was paid to work on various farms to help support her family. After her first marriage, she moved to Troy in 1927 where she worked at various jobs. She took in laundry, worked at Waco Aircraft, was a waitress and cook at many restaurants and was a Stanley Home Products dealer. Hazel was a member of St. John’s United Church of Christ for more than 60 years. She was also a charter member of Waco Aircraft and Redman’s Lodge. Halfway through her life she met the love of her life, Lloyd. They were able to spend 54 wonderful years together.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS HAYWIRE: A straight-up action picture may sound unusual coming from Steven Soderbergh, but as he’s repeatedly demonstrated throughout his career, he’s keen to experiment with every genre imaginable. And if you look closely here, you’ll find it reveals glimmers of some of his greatest hits, including “The Limey,” ”Traffic” and the “Ocean’s” movies. By comparison, it feels like minor Soderbergh: zippy, hugely entertaining and well-crafted as always (since he once again serves as his own cinematographer and editor), but not one of his more important films. It does, however, mark the auspicious film debut of MMA superstar Gina Carano as special-ops badass Mallory Kane. Carano had never acted before, and not only did she do all her own stunts, she had to do them in a way that she wouldn’t injure her male co-stars, including Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Channing Tatum. Her dialogue delivery may seem a bit stiff — and she has acknowledged that Soderbergh made some tweaks to her voice in post-production — but she has tremendous presence: an intriguing mix of muscular power and eye-catching femininity. Mallory must figure out who double-crossed her, and why, after a mission in Barcelona. Soderbergh wisely emphasizes Carano’s strengths. He lets the elaborate fight scenes play out — lets us see every kick, punch and body slam — without a lot of needless edits and even without any music. You may feel as if you’ve been worked over as well. But in a good way. R for some violence. 93 minutes. Three stars out of four.

— Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MISS BALA: Gerardo Naranjo may have made the least-glamorous movie ever about a pageant queen.

And that’s what makes it so beautiful. With long, fluid takes that create a mesmerizing tension, the Mexican director and writer initially draws us into a world of youthful optimism, one which ends up being wildly unpredictable and increasingly desperate.

Sadly, it couldn’t be more relevant in depicting the brutal violence plaguing Mexico’s northern border areas. At its center is the gorgeous, leggy Stephanie Sigman, a former model making her striking film debut. Sigman stars as Laura Guerrero, a young woman who hopes to be crowned the next Miss Baja California. (The title is a play on words: “bala” means bullet in Spanish.) When Laura goes to a club with her best friend, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, as gang members shoot the place up while targeting some DEA agents who are partying there. Laura escapes briefly but she’s seen too much, and ends up becoming their captive pawn. The group’s leader is the wily Lino (a subtly menacing Noe Fernandez), who’s been terrorizing northern Mexico with his minions while working the angles across the United States border, as well. Lino at first forces Laura to run a few errands, but the tasks become more and more dangerous. R for language, some brutal violence and sexuality. In Spanish with English subtitles. 113 minutes. Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic RED TAILS: The famed Tuskegee Airmen get the John Wayne-style heroic rendering they very much deserve, but also a hackneyed and weirdly contextless story that does them a disservice. George Lucas’ pet project has the laudable goal of proving all-black movies can be a success, but “Red Tails” reduces a historical story of deep cultural significance to merely a flyboy flick. The film, directed by TV veteran Anthony Hemingway, superimposes the tale of the black World War II pilots on a dated, white genre of 1940s patriotic propaganda. “Red Tails” is blatantly old-fashioned, just with a change in color. It focuses entirely on aerial combat in Europe, skipping all that pesky backstory of black men braving the segregation of Jim Crowe America and, against the odds, rising up at the Tuskegee Institute.

Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard play higherups, but the film is centered on a band of pilots, particularly the brash, talented Joe “Lightning” Little (David Oyelowo) and his alcoholic captain Marty “Easy” Julian (Nate Parker). The script, by John Ridley and Boondocks cartoonist Aaron McGruder is swaggering but hopelessly corny and curiously avoids really fleshing out the Tuskegee Airmen’s other battle front: racism at home. The dogfights, though, are elegant and clearly staged, set against a majestic European landscape. PG-13 for some sequences of war violence. 125 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer.

LeDoux’s to host live entertainment Local fest partners with restaurant to offer live music

BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com Area residents looking for some Louisiana cooking and a little soul music to go with it have a new option.

LeDoux’s restaurant moved downtown last year to 118 W. Main St., Troy, and has been cooking up and serving southern favorites ever since.

In addition to a diverse menu, owner Don LeDoux is expanding musical options at the downtown eatery.

LeDoux said tunes from reggae to funk will be heard coming from the restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights in “LeDoux’s Voodoo Music Hall.”

He said the performances just started, but he expects the crowd to grow today when Terripan Moon fills the room with the sounds of the Grateful Dead.

He said the back room of his restaurant was empty and when local resident and Miami Valley Music Fest Chairman Brad Denson came to him with the idea of live entertainment, he couldn’t turn it down.

“We had this big room and he had a good idea, so I said ‘Let’s put it to use,’” LeDoux said. “It’s going to change every week, so it’s not going to get boring.”

Denson said he went to LeDoux with the same idea as what started the Miami Valley Music Fest — a summer festival with performances by local bands — and

At left, J.R. Feltner performs with other members of Bootleg recently at LeDoux’s.

TROY that was to help artists get some exposure.

“There is no place north of Dayton that hosts local talent,” Denson said. “Troy is starting to develop a nice nightlife and this will be one more thing to add to that.”

In addition to reggae and folk, the sounds of jazz, fourpiece bands, blues and country will add to the variety that Denson says he thinks will attract a crowd every week.

“There is no place that will cater to the original eclectic act,” Denson said.

“It’s the same type of bands and everything in between — bands that play with some soul.”

Denson and LeDoux said they hope local residents give the concept an opportunity to add to the entertainment scene in Troy.

“Give it a chance,” Denson said. “If they are a fan of music they will appreciate what is going on here.

It’s going to be nerve-wracking, but it will get going.”

Many times, he said local residents believe they have to drive to Dayton to hear the type of music that will be played at LeDoux’s every weekend.

“There is a market for it, but people drive to Dayton and drive right by us,” Denson said. “We have to reach the right people and let them know we are here.”

Some of the highlights Denson pointed out on the schedule include tonight’s performance by Terrapin Moon, a local favorite, while Demolition Crew will perform Jan. 27 for a reggae party.

In addition to those acts, LeDoux’s Voodoo Music Hall will host the Miami Valley Music Fest Donor Ball on

April 18, an event that will feature Higgins Madewell and The Spike Drivers.

Other bands on the entertainment list include M87 and Haunted Palace, Schwartz Devore-Grover and SOL, Paradigm Shift and Aliver Hall.

Denson said there is no admission fee and said he hopes to continue making the night of entertainment free. In addition to the live music and southern cooking, LeDoux’s bar is now open.

The entertainment will start at 9 p.m. and will go until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights with the exception of this Saturday night.

Music company brings new tune to town

BY ALISHA MCDARRIS Ohio Community Media Alisha.mcdarris@gmail.com

For Kimberly Elrod and Steve Allison, opening a new music store in Tipp City is about more than selling guitars and running a business. It’s about serving area musicians and passing their love of music on to others.

Rivertown Music Company, Tipp City’s only music store, opened its doors to the public this past November just in time for the annual Winter’s TIPP CITY Gathering.

The shop, with instruments and instruction all under one roof, is located on the second floor of the Hotel Gallery in one of the small studio spaces.

Elrod and Allison have since lined the walls with guitars, band instruments and amplifiers, and the Mountain Dulcimer Society of Dayton. For more stocked their case full of picks, information on the concert drumsticks and slide oil. They carry new and used band instruand other events visit ments for students, new and vinwww.troyhayner.org. tage guitars and basses for the string aficionados, and even offer Arenacross warranties with all the instrumakes local stop ments they sell.

For more information “We’re trying to get away from visit www.nuttercenter.com. the mystique of the big box store,” Allison explained.

“We make sure to add a caring touch,” Elrod added.

That caring touch extends from sales to education. Elrod offers guitar lessons in the space for anyone wanting to learn, be they SCHEDULE FRIDAY 1/20 ONLY UNDERWORLD: THE BEAUTY & THE BEAST 9 or 90.

Guitar players and band students alike can find a variety of instruments lining the walls of the small Rivertown Music Company located in the Hotel Gallery in Downtown Tipp. nearly a lifetime of learning under their belts; Elrod picked up guitar at age 9 and Allison a bass at age 12.

The business venture wasn’t all for themselves, however. When the idea for Rivertown Music Company started sprouting between Elrod and Allison, who are part of the same worship team at Christian Life Center in Dayton, it was partially in an effort to assist Allison’s cousin.

His cousin is a missionary in Asia who required means to support himself and his mission while abroad. In 10 days, Rivertown Music Company came together with Allison’s cousin — who will remain nameless for safety reasons — set to provide the new instruments for the shop from his post on the other side of the world.

Above all, they want to pass on their deep love of music.

“We want kids to pick up an instrument and want to play,” Allison said.

“We love serving other musicians,” Elrod added. “It’s like working at a candy store.”

Elrod and Allison endeavor to

pass on their passion by offering their instruments at affordable prices and that extra service-oriented and personal touch. The coowners’ mission is to be able to provide band instruments to kids who might not otherwise be able to afford them. Soon, they hope to be able to do that from a bigger space, right in the heart of Tipp City.

“Our goal is to outgrow this space and have our own storefront in downtown,” Allison offered.

No matter where they are located, Elrod and Allison want area band students to know they no longer have to go far to pick up reeds, strings, oils and more. The co-owners hope musicians will stop by, introduce themselves, and let them know what needs require fulfillment.

Musicians and musicians-to-be can find Elrod and Allison in the shop between 4:30-7 p.m Mondays-Thursdays, 4:30-6 p.m.

Fridays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturdays and 1-4 p.m. Sundays.

Go see a counselor and figure out your next step Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our early 50s. We have been married for one year and have not been intimate for six months.

Until he transferred to a secondshift job, our bedroom was exciting. Now I'm not allowed to touch him. Anything more than a hug and he pushes me away. I miss how we once were. He says he hasn't been feeling well but refuses to see a doctor or a counselor.

If he's not willing to discuss this further, it's hard to know what to do or think. I love him dearly, and he tells me he loves me, too, but with all these mixed signals, I'm not so sure. Any ideas? — Boston Beauty Dear Boston: It's possible the job switch is exhausting him, or there could be something at work that is making him unwell. Or he could have met someone else on his new shift. There are other possibilities, but if he refuses to see a doctor or a counselor, it means he prefers to leave things as they are, and this is unacceptable. Please see a counselor on your own and figure out your next step.

Dear Annie: We became close to one set of neighbors over the years. Their 17-year-old daughter often baby-sat our two children, ages 9 and 11.

Six months ago, we attended a social event together while their daughter stayed with our kids and one of their friends, who was sleeping over. At some point, the sitter walked the kids to her parents' house, took their car (she had just gotten her driver's license) and drove them to a local ice cream store where her friends were working. She told the kids not to tell their parents.

Three days later, our 9-year-old accidentally spilled the beans. I called the sitter and fired her, and then I told her mother what had happened. Her only response was, "Well, it wasn't illegal." We haven't spoken since.

Two weeks ago, I texted the sitter and told her to call me so we could fix this mess already. I hoped she would apologize to my wife, even though she has not admitted she did anything wrong.

Instead, her mother texted me back and told me to leave her daughter alone. She then reminded me that I never paid the girl for sitting that night. I am still in absolute shock. Any advice? — Upstate N.Y. Dad Dear Dad: This girl showed terrible judgment, but that is not unusual for a 17-year-old. She should have apologized immediately for putting your children at risk and doing something without your permission. You should have forgiven her, with the understanding that it would not happen again. It would have been better if her mother had not become involved, although we suspect the sitter was in tears after being fired and Mom thought she was protecting her.

To resolve this, please walk over to the neighbors' house and pay the girl the money you owe her in person. Then, gently and kindly, explain that her behavior that evening alarmed you and made you question how responsible she is. Give her the opportunity to apologize. We hope she will.

Dear Annie: Like "Road Worrier," I was unable to get my mother, who was legally blind with macular degeneration, to give up driving. She always said a prayer before getting behind the wheel.

Living in different states made it difficult, so I spoke with an attorney, who told Mom that either she gets rid of the car or I would ask for legal guardianship and make ALL her future choices.

She was furious but knew I meant business. The car was gone within a week. Her anger didn't last long, but I was willing to risk a permanent estrangement. It would have been worth saving the life of someone's child whom she eventually would have killed. — Did What Needed To Be Done Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Measuring cups: Not just for medicine Dear Heloise: You most likely have heard this before. I was premeasuring everything for a recipe and was looking for a small cup or bowl to hold the vanilla and the 1 tablespoon of milk that the recipe called for. I killed two birds with one stone. I used a child’s medicine cup. It has highly readable measurements and will sit upright while preparing everything else. Still learning something new every day at 53! — Liz, via email A super recycle and reuse hint!

And it’s good to continue to learn, regardless of age! — Heloise TRAVEL TRICK Dear Heloise: To ensure that my suitcase is within the airline’s

Hints from Heloise Columnist posted weight limits, I weigh my suitcase before leaving for the airport. First I weigh myself on my bathroom scale, and then I weigh myself holding my suitcase. The difference between the two measurements is the weight of the bag.

— Lorraine, via email NO WASTE Dear Heloise: How many

years did I make applesauce, apple pies, etc., and throw away the peels?

Now, after thoroughly washing the apples, I set the peelings aside and stew them, maybe with a little sugar and cinnamon. What a tasty treat, and good for me, I’m sure. I love your column, which I read in the Lubbock (Texas) Avalanche-Journal. — Arlyce in Matador, Texas COLOR! Dear Heloise: When I needed to transfer a small amount of paint from a gallon bucket, I used a hand pump from a lotion bottle (washed out, of course) and filled baby-food jars for lots of people to work on a mural.

Also, some lipsticks stay on great, but are drying to your lips.

Put that color on first, then put on another color that is moisturizing but doesn’t stay on long.

Usually you will have lasting color. — LaMerle in Buckholts, Texas CONVENIENT CARRY Dear Heloise: My mother lives in a memory-care lodge. I was getting things ready to take her a special meal, but wasn’t sure about the best way to take the gravy. I noticed my commuter coffee mug, and put the gravy in that. It was just the right size, it was spillproof, plus it kept the gravy warm during the whole meal! — Phyllis L., via email

HOROSCOPE Friday, Jan. 20, 2012 Numerous opportunities to further your education and gain new knowledge will be available to you in the year ahead. Make sure you take advantage of each and every one of them, because you’ll find all kinds of ways to utilize what you learn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Because you’ll be as much of a pragmatist as a visionary, your hopes and aspirations will be easily realized. This combination always brings gangbusters results.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Even if it takes two or three tries, major achievements will be possible for you.

However, be prepared to circumvent some obstacles that might block your path.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Dealings you have with a large organization, such as a company or the government, will work out better than you think. Be patient and let the big dogs set the pace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — This is an unusual day, when even a bum deal can be renegotiated and work out quite well for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for the terms you want, but then be patient and let events establish how things play out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You enjoy being your own person and doing your own thing, but you don’t mind being a team player either, which is fortunate because at this point you’ll fare better as part of a group.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It looks like you’ll be given a second chance to capitalize on an opportunity that you previously turned down. Armed with new knowledge, you’ll want to be on board.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Treat whatever transpires like a game. This doesn’t imply that you should not be serious when it’s called for. It’s merely a means for not letting anything overwhelm you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Conditions in general look pretty good for you. However, your best opportunities are likely to be in areas where you can either make or save money. Capitalize on it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t allow people challenging your ideas or opinions to irritate you. Use any dispute as a means to better explain your position and to showcase your points more effectively.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Financial currents are running in your favor, making you luckier than usual with all money matters. Use this to further feather your nest instead of depending on what the wind brings in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You can substantially enhance your probabilities for success by dealing solely with the person who calls the shots. Jump over subordinates and drive right to the hoop.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Initially, you might feel imposed upon when asked to do something for another, but once the dust settles you’ll discover that you’re the one who ends up benefiting the most.

• In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon were sworn in for their second terms of office in a private Sunday ceremony (a public ceremony was held the next day).

• In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th president of the United States.

• In 1981, Iran released 52 Americans it had held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.

World not quite as hot in 2011 Year ranks as 11th warmest on record WASHINGTON (AP) — The world last year wasn’t quite as warm as it has been for most of the past decade, government scientists said Thursday, but it continues a general trend of rising temperatures.

The average global temperature was 57.9 degrees Fahrenheit, making 2011 the 11th hottest on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

That figure is 0.9 degrees warmer than the 20th century average, officials said. In fact, it was hotter than every year last century except 1998.

One reason 2011 was milder than recent years was the La Nina cooling of the central Pacific Ocean. La Ninas occur every few years and generally cause global temperatures to drop, but this was the warmest La Nina year on record.

And 2011 also was the warmest year on record for Spain and Norway, and the second warmest for the United Kingdom.

In the United States, it was only 1 degree above normal, which made it the 23rd warmest on record. But 17 cities — including Houston, Miami, Trenton and Austin — had their warmest years.

This marks the 35th straight year that global temperatures were warmer than normal.

NOAA’s records for world average temperatures date back to 1880.

“It would be premature to make any conclusion

The world last year wasn’t quite as warm as it has been for most of the past decade, government scientists said Thursday, but it continues the general trend of rising temperatures. that we would see any hiatus of the longer-term warming trend,” said Tom Karl, director of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center. “Global temperatures are continuing to increase.”

NASA, which calculates global temperatures in a slightly different way, announced essentially the same temperature for the year. But NASA’s recordkeeping calls it the ninth warmest ever.

Both NASA climate scientist James Hansen and University of Victoria’s Andrew Weaver said they expect that in the next few years the world will set yet a new record high temperature.

2010 tied for the hottest on record.

NOAA also released new figures for extreme weather.

The agency recalculated the number of billiondollar weather disasters in the U.S., bumping the total from 12 to 14.

Officials added Tropical Storm Lee, which dumped rain from Maryland to New England in September, and a July hail and wind storm in Colorado to the list.

The 14 extreme events

smash the old record of nine billion-dollar disasters in 2008.

“America has endured an unusually large number of extreme events, totaling damages of more than $55 billion,” NOAA deputy administrator Kathryn Sullivan said.

She blamed a variety of factors, including population changes.

For the year, a record 58 percent of the United States had either extreme rainfall or severe drought, about triple what is normal for the country. Seven

states — New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Indiana and Kentucky — had their wettest years since those types of records were kept beginning in 1895. Texas had its driest year ever.

The record wet up north and dry down south fits with what climate change science predicts, but it is too early to say if 2011’s precipitation extremes were due to global warming, Karl said. And the unusual number of deadly tornadoes can’t be linked to global warming, he said.

But Kevin Trenberth, director of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., which is a consortium of universities, said it’s hard not to see the hand of manmade global warming behind the extremes.

“Where these events occur is largely driven by natural variability, but the fact that they are breaking records and causing tremendous damage when they do occur is undoubtedly because of the human stimulus,” Trenberth said in an email.

Glad to be home Devils’ bus hit Tuesday night

Particularly after Tuesday’s surreal experience.

TIPP CITY On the way home from a game at Oakwood — a 51-47 loss, nonetheless — the team’s bus was struck by a car that had slid on an icy patch of Keowee Street in Dayton and hit a truck.

“It was kind of insult to injury,” Tippecanoe coach Matt Pond said. “You’re sitting there, thinking about the game, and then one of my assistants yells

Consistently Sharpe Devil senior hits career milestone

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com In a turbulent, up-and-down year for the Tippecanoe girls, one thing has been rock solid.

Ellise Sharpe.

Amidst injuries, narrow defeats and a new coach, the Red Devils’ senior point guard has helped keep the team afloat through a storm that has its record at 7-6 — already one more loss than all of last year — helping lead the team to a signature win over a bitter rival to kick off the second half of the season.

And Saturday, she picked up a signature moment of her own, becoming the fifth Red Devil to score 1,000 points in a career.

A moment made a little more special by family history.

“It was really cool, especially because my sister (Lauren) already hit it,” Sharpe said. “It’s cool to be the fifth person in Tipp history to do it.

“I’ve got 1,011 now. She finished with 1,449 — so I won’t be reaching her. But it’s still really cool. I don’t know if any other sisSTAFF FILE PHOTO/MARK DOWD ters at Tipp have done it.”

It was one more in a long list Tippecanoe’s Ellise Sharpe — seen scoring in a win over Kenton of honors heaped on Sharpe this Ridge — reached 1,000 points for her career Saturday.

TIPP CITY season. During the fall, she was one of two Tippecanoe soccer players given All-Ohio honors, being named to the second team — the boys team’s Logan Niswonger was the other. She also signed to play basketball for a Division I school, Brown University, before the season.

And just this week, Sharpe was one of seven players from Ohio nominated to be a McDonald’s All-American.

“Having a four-year varsity player and having that knowledge, it’s a big help,” first-year coach Aaron Jackson said. “We expected a lot out of her this season, and she’s stepped up to the challenge. She’s done more than even we expected.”

This is Sharpe’s second season in the Devils’ showcase position, running the point. And with names like Leah Schiller, Abby Dowd and her sister Lauren Sharpe running the show before her, Ellise Sharpe knows that all eyes are on her.

And she welcomes it.

“It puts a lot of pressure on me to make sure everyone else is

Out of the shadows

Trojans split tri at Carroll

Giants’ Manning, 49ers’ Smith overcome family, history SANTA CLARA, Calif.

(AP) — The Giants’ Eli Manning has been forced to escape the shadow of superstar big brother, Peyton. San Francisco’s Alex Smith? He only has a pair of Hall of Famers in Joe Montana and Steve Young hanging over him in 49ers lore.

Two No. 1 pick quarterbacks a draft apart, Manning and Smith meet Sunday in the NFC championship game with a shot at the Super Bowl after each has faced immense scrutiny over the years while playing on opposite coasts.

Manning made his mark by winning the 2008 Super Bowl. Smith took a significant step toward finally silencing the skeptics for the time being, anyway by leading last week’s thrilling, last-second 36-32 victory over Drew Brees and the favored Saints in a spectacular playoff debut.

Early on, there were the questions about whether Manning would ever become an elite NFL quarterback like the other big-time QBs in the family, including father, Archie.

It calmed down for a time once he won a title. Then, the criticism returned last season, when Manning threw 25 interceptions.

That’s when he boldly let it be known he should be in the same conversation as Patriots star Tom Brady and the rest of the NFL’s best lining up under center.

“I consider myself in that class,” Manning said in August.

Smith, drafted No. 1 from Utah in 2005 one year after Manning was the top pick out of Ole Miss, won’t begin to compare his situation out West to what Manning has endured.

“His is a little different.

To be Peyton’s little brother, No. 1 pick, you go to New York with the Giants, obviously that’s a lot of pressure,” Smith said. “I don’t think anyone has been in the situation he has. Those are pretty unique circumstances. Your older brother is arguably the greatest quarterback ever and a lot of expectations on you and then you go to the big city like New York. I didn’t have to face those things.”

Smith got booed by his home fans at some point in nearly every game at Candlestick Park in recent seasons before leading a remarkable turnaround this year under first-year NFL coach Jim Harbaugh. He’s been benched and belittled

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning throws a pass during practice Thursday in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants travel to San Francisco to play the 49ers in the NFC championship game on Sunday. by more than one of his coaches along the way.

“I was saying this a few years ago and got laughed at, but Alex was a guy that had about 60 percent of his ability, his potential brought out in him because of all kinds of circumstances,” said Trent Dilfer, ESPN analyst and Smith’s former teammate. “What he was really relying upon to survive in the NFL was his mental and emotional strength, toughness, giftedness, whatever you want to call it. He is so mentally strong, so resilient, refuses to let the demons affect him negatively. … I knew once somebody came here and was able to develop him and train him like he started to get trained with Norv (Turner) in 2006 that you would start to see some of the physical stuff come out.

I’m just so happy for him because he found a guy in Jim Harbaugh who coached him the way he needed to be coached.”

Sunday’s game will mark the second time two former No. 1 pick QBs will square off in the conference championship. Vinny Testaverde and John Elway met in the 1998 AFC championship game.

Manning and Smith have their teams on a roll.

Each led five fourth-quarter comebacks during the season, then Smith had another in last Saturday’s thriller in which he hit Vernon Davis from 14 yards for the gamewinning touchdown with 9 seconds left.

There was the near miss for Manning at Candlestick back on Nov. 13, a 27-20 loss to the 49ers when he had a chance to win it in the closing minute but had a fourthdown pass batted by defensive tackle Justin Smith.

That gives Manning some added incentive as he arrives again in the Bay Area.

“This is where you want to be. We always talk about finishing and playing your

best football at the end of the season. That’s what we’re doing now,” Manning said. “We’re playing great football on both sides of the ball. We have to continue to do that. We’re playing smart. We can’t turn the ball over.”

Manning threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns to stun the defending champion Packers last weekend at Lambeau Field.

49ers linebacker Patrick Willis has known Manning’s potential for years since their one-year stint as college teammates in 2003, the last time Willis had a winning season.

“As a freshman, I thought he was the greatest quarterback ever,” Willis said. “That was the best season I’d ever had in football. To see the things that he’s done, he’s won a Super Bowl. That’s the biggest accomplishment that we all try to go for, to win that. He’s done that. He led his team back to being one game closer to that.”

Injury knocks Roddick out

Andy Roddick waves as he leaves Rod Laver Arena after retiring injured from his second-round match against Lleyton Hewitt at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia Thursday.

7 against Hewitt for his career. “You can try to ham and egg it against a lot of guys. But he’s really intelligent. He knew what was going on.”

Roddick’s limitations were obvious in the second and third sets. He threw his racket into the wall and argued with the chair umpire over a line call. He bristled when a woman

shouted, “Come on Lleyton,” just as Roddick was about to serve.

“It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging,” he said, referring to the hamstring tendon injury. “You know, your sensible mind says to have a sense of perspective. You still have it pretty good.

The competitor in you feels terrible and wants to break stuff.”

M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Andy Roddick lunged for a shot

by Lleyton Hewitt and felt a sharp pain in his right leg. He stayed down on his hands and one knee for a few seconds, wondering if his Australian Open was finished.

He played the next two points, falling behind 3-0 in the second set, before taking a medical timeout to treat his hamstring.

Still, Roddick played on. Clearly restricted, he didn’t bother to chase down some shots and walked slowly between points with his head down.

Finally, after 16 more games, Roddick called it quits. He retired with Hewitt leading the secondround match 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

“It’s a miserable, terrible thing being out there compromised like that,” Roddick said.

The 29-year-old American knew he wouldn’t be able to fool an opponent he was playing for the 14th time, one of the few players on the tour older than he is, somebody who was ranked No. 1 before he was and someone with one more Grand Slam title.

“He’s a tough guy to play,” said Roddick, now 7-

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 Richard Cline said. “The first time we had them down seven, and tonight we were up three going into the fourth. But they upped the pressure, shot free throws well and it just got away from us.”

Alexis Murphy — the Indians’ leading scorer — was held to two points in the first half but finished with 15, going 8 for 8 from the free throw line in the fourth.

“Last time, it was their full-court pressure that folded us,” Cline said. “I thought the girls responded to that well tonight. This time, we just missed a few shots that would’ve kept us in our gameplan. And once you get away from your gameplan against a team like that … good teams step up.

“Our half-court defense had done a nice job on her (Murphy), but her teammates stepped up around her. They got up by five or so, and we had to get away from our gameplan — and we just don’t have anybody that can match up against her in straight man. She’s a very nice basketball player.”

Ashleigh Bishop had a double-double to lead the Bulldogs with 10 points and 11 rebounds, Katelyn Vincent had nine points and seven rebounds, Cate Busse added eight points and seven rebounds and Brooke Falb scored eight points.

“You feel good about that (competing with a one-loss team), but you also look at all the opportunities missed,” Cline said. “We just need to shoot a better percentage at the free throw line (5 for 13 compared to Carlisle’s 19 for 26) and get to the line more.

We just didn’t have that last run in us at the end.”

Milton-Union hosts Preble Shawnee Saturday before traveling to Franklin Monroe Monday.

Miami East 63, National Trail 46 NEW PARIS — The Miami East Vikings already know they’ll see the competition’s best every night.

Milton-Union’s Cate Busse lays the ball in against Carlisle Thursday night.

“They (National Trail) battled,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “We understand that we’re going to get everyone’s best shot.

They went on a 10-0 run in the second quarter, but the girls were able to overcome that.

“We didn’t play our best defense, but we were able to overcome some mistakes and beat them on the offensive end.”

Current scored 24 points to lead all scorers, going 10 for 15 from the free throw line and adding six rebounds, while Abby Cash did a lot of everything with 13 points, eight assists, six rebounds and five steals. Angie Mack added nine points for the Vikings (13-1, 9-0).

Makayla Abner scored 19 points to lead National Trail (10-6, 8-2).

Andee Welbaum and Trelissa Lavy each scored 11 points and Aryn Doseck and

Taylor Robbins scored 30 to lead Franklin Monroe.

Tippecanoe travels to Kenton Ridge Tuesday.

■ Bowling

Bowling ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 199 to end with a 2,519 match total, besting the old mark of 2,456 set at Victory Lanes against Springfield two seasons ago.

As a team, the Trojan girls threw seven games at or above the 200 mark.

Seniors Elizabeth Reed and Samantha Wilkerson each finished with a 436 series – Reed rolling games of 236200 and Wilkerson shooting games of 203-233.

Freshman Allie Isner was only 2 pins at 434 with games of 236-198. Courtney Metzger and Megan Walker each only bowled one game, but made it count. Metzger shot a 235, then yielded the lane to Walker who rolled a 225.

The Troy boys took advantage of a subpar night

Urbana was just on Wednesday afternoon, using a perfect game and a number of solid performances to sweep the Red Devils, with the Hllclimber boys winning 2,842-2,727 and the girls cruising 2,683-2,262.

“Well, Urbana had our number tonight,” Tippecanoe coach Clay Lavercombe said. “They shot really well. One boy had a 300, one girl shot 269.

There’s no defense in bowling, so you just have to sit back and tip your hats.

“We bowled well. We’re not mad about our performance. Sure, we left some pins out there, but we gave it our best, and I’m proud of them for that.”

Jordan Amspaugh had the high game for

Welcome to the neighborhood

■ CONTINUED FROM 10 in the right spot, to get them in positions to score,” Sharpe said. “But I like the pressure. I like putting people in a position to do well. When they score, it’s a great feeling.

“It’s a very honorable position to play, I think, and it’s exciting when everything works.”

“When we need something out of her — a key steal or a big assist — she delivers,” Jackson said.

“She’s committed herself to being a team player this year. Whatever the team needs, she does it.”

And her scoring milestone came during an odd time, too — one of Tippecanoe’s four losses by three or less points, and the Devils’ lone Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division loss of the season.

“Yeah,” Sharpe said with a grumble of the Devils’ 68-65 loss at Tecumseh Saturday.

The Devils also dropped the opening game of the season to Butler by two, lost by a pair to Fairborn and then lost to Troy by one.

And that loss to Tecumseh came right after Tippecanoe got word that its second-leading scorer, Morgan Miller, is

out indefinitely with an injury — one of a number of injuries the team has suffered this year.

“It has been a very odd year,” Jackson said. “I think our schedule is a little tougher, and we have had a number of injuries.

We’ve been in a lot of close games this year.”

But their one win in a close game was easily their biggest of the season — a 78-77 victory over rival Kenton Ridge, in which Sharpe scored a season-high 36 points.

“We were all psyched to beat Kenton Ridge,” Sharpe said. “They beat us three times last year, so beating them was our sole goal going into that game. Once the game started, we were not giving it up.

“It is an odd year. We’re kind of coming from behind — we have to prove ourselves this year.

We have to push ourselves and work harder in practice. “(The injuries) put a lot of pressure on us.

Everyone has to step up to fill some big shoes. But people are definitely stepping up and showing what they can do.”

Tippecanoe continues its run at the CBC Kenton Trail Division title at Bellfontaine Saturday.

■ Boys Basketball

Bus ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 ‘watch out!’ It all happened pretty quick.

“We didn’t see much of the car until it hit us. Our driver did a great job and kept everyone safe. It could have been a lot worse.”

Luckily for everyone involved, there were no serious injuries.

“The driver of the car was out and walking around, and there was a truck driver helping — it happened in front of him,” Pond said. “The car hit him then hit us.

“The kids were fine.

Nobody panicked, and

that’s the important thing. The kids were upset about the loss, but I think the crash may have put some things in perspective.”

The Ponds were out at their daughter Hannah’s game — she play for the Covington Buccaneer girls team — in bad conditions Thursday night, as well. But the Red Devil boys won’t need to go anywhere tonight, hosting Tecumseh.

“It’s nice to be at home after that,” Pond said.

“But we don’t want to see that happen to anyone else, either.”
