Student brings loaded gun to THS BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Marine denies firing at women A Marine facing sentencing over one of the worst attacks on civilians by U.S. troops during the Iraq War told a judge Tuesday in a surprise development that he never fired his weapon at any women or children. The statement by Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich came a day after he pleaded guilty to a minor charge of negligent dereliction of duty as part of a deal that will mean little or no jail time.

A 15-year-old student brought a loaded .22 caliber handgun to Troy High School on Friday and now faces a fifth-degree felony count of possession of a firearm in a school safety zone. The gun was discovered at the end of the school day after rumors of the student possessing the gun were investigated, according to Troy Police Department Capt.

TROY Chris Anderson. After questioning, the student was transported Friday to the county’s West Central Detention facility. The freshman student faces charges in Miami County Municipal Court today, according to Anderson. The gun was found in a backpack before the student had the chance to board a school bus after

school. The student admitted to having the gun to school officials. The loaded gun was found wrapped in an orange hat with nine rounds in the magazine and one round in the chamber. The gun was quickly confiscated by Brandon Fellers, Troy High School’s school resource officer. According to the police report, a fellow student saw the boy showing off the gun in class and said the boy bragged about how he and a friend had fired the gun at a barn in a woods on several occasions.

The gun was owned by the student’s father, who stated that the boy did not have permission to possess the gun. According to the report, the student claimed to have “forgotten the gun was in the book bag.” Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman said all schools have a zero tolerance policy for weapons on school grounds. Herman also said notification about the incident was not

WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama called Tuesday night for a flurry of help for a hurting middle class and higher taxes on millionaires, d e l i v e ring a State of the Union OBAMA address packed with reelection themes. Restoring a fair shot for all, Obama said, is “the defining issue of our time.” Obama outlined a vastly different vision for fixing the country than the one pressed by the Republicans challenging him in Congress and fighting to take his job in the November election. He pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule. Obama offered steps to help students afford college, a plan for more struggling homeowners to refinance their homes and tax cuts for manufacturers. He threw in politically appealing references to accountability, including warning universities they will lose federal aid if they don’t stop tuition from soaring. Standing in front of a divided Congress, with bleak hope this election year for much of his legislative agenda, Obama spoke with voters in mind. “We can either settle for

City of Troy firefighters contained an equipment fire shortly after 10 a.m. at Arc Abrasives, 85 Marybill Drive, on Tuesday. According to Matthew Simmons, assistant chief, 13 firefighters responded to the fire that was contained in five minutes to the machine that makes laminate materials for sandpaper. “The fire was contained to a piece of processing equipment that heats up laminate,” Simmons said. “The fire was contained, but there was heavy smoke damage.” There were no injuries reported and the business was evacuated. The damage is estimated at $3,000.

Board to honor former member Tippecanoe High School gym to be named ‘Pam Wampler Gymnasium’ BY CECILIA FOX Ohio Community Media ceciliaafox@gmail.com The Tippecanoe Board of Education celebrated School Board Member Appreciation Month by announcing that the high school gymnasium will be renamed after a former board member on Monday evening. The Tippecanoe High School Gymnasium will soon be renamed the Pat Wampler Gymnasium. “Pat Wampler is very deserving of the honor of having the Tippecanoe High School Gymnasium bear her name,” said board president Tom Merritt. The renaming will take place at the last home boys’ basketball game of the season, Feb. 10. Wampler served on the board for 32 years and as board president for 10 years. She was instrumental in the building of Tippecanoe High School and she has been a supporter

of the schools as a parent, fan, and board member. According to Merritt, a recommendation to rename the gym was made to the board and a committee was formed to discuss the change. The school board voted unanimously in support of the name change, saying the recognition was very well deserved. Wampler is a mother of seven and has 15 grandchildren and all seven of her children attended Tipp City schools. She and her husband are sports fans and attend as many Tipp City boys’ and girls’ events as they can. Another presentation came from three teachers from the district, Lisa Colebaugh, Paula Goldsberry, and Pam Staub. They made a presentation to the board about teaching financial literacy to Tipp City students. Currently, an introductory course in personal finance is

bullying — that is brought to our attention immediately.” Phillis said he knows that the majority of Troy High School students follow the rules and he said he believes one student’s conduct won’t ruin the stellar reputation of the rest of the Trojan student body. “Our kids are great kids,” Phillis said as he stood in the hallway during lunch Tuesday. “It’s just another day.” Phillis said he hopes parents take this opportunity to talk to their children about the importance of talking to adults and telling adults about situations such as Friday’s incident. “Administration follows up on each ‘tip’” Phillis said. “We check every incident, but we can only do so if we know about it.”

Honor

State • CONTINUED FROM A1 a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” Obama said. “Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.” A rare wave of unity splashed over the House chamber at the start. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, survivor of an assassination attempt one year ago, received sustained applause from her peers and cheers of “Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.” She blew a kiss to the podium. Obama embraced her. Lawmakers leapt to their feet when Obama said near the start of his speech that terrorist leader Osama bin Laden, killed by a raid authorized by the president, will no longer threaten America. At the core of Obama’s address was the improving but deeply wounded economy — the matter still driving Americans’ anxiety and the one likely to determine the next presidency. “The state of our union is getting stronger,” Obama said, calibrating his words as

millions remain unemployed. Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is “within our reach” was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet. He spoke of restoring basic goals: owning a home, earning enough to raise a family, putting a little money away for retirement. “We can do this,” Obama said. “I know we can.” He said Americans are convinced that “Washington is broken,” but he also said it wasn’t too late to cooperate on important matters. Republicans were not impressed. They applauded infrequently, though they did cheer when the president “Republican quoted Abraham Lincoln” as saying: “That government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves — and no more.” Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, offering the formal GOP response, called Obama’s policies “pro-poverty” and his tactics divisive. “No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry favor with some Americans by castigating others,” Daniels said in excerpts released before the address. In a signature swipe at the nation’s growing income gap, Obama called for a new minimum tax rate of at least 30 percent on anyone making over $1 million.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 as they go off to college and begin their lives after high school. Some of the class topics include goal setting, saving and investing, banking, credit and taxes, among others. Board member Scott Dixon raised the question of making a financial literacy class required for all high school students. He voiced concerns that not enough students are taking the elective financial literacy courses available at the high school. “I think every kid that graduates should be required to take a semester of financial literacy,” Dixon said. Concerns were also raised that requiring students to take a financial literacy course could interfere with other classes they are required to take. “I think that this is something that we could go back and have more discussion on,” said Superintendent Dr. John Kronour. Other board members agreed that the matter bears further scrutiny. In other school news, Assistant Superintendent Gretta Kumpf reported that training for Project MORE is progressing. Currently 25 adult volunteers have been trained and 25 more potential volunteers from the middle school have shown interest. “We are still needing more volunteers,” said Kumpf.

Project MORE is a volunteer based reading education program. Students and volunteers will meet four times a week for 30 minute sessions. The project has demonstrated significant reading results at other schools in the state since it began in 1999. Project MORE kicks off in Tipp City schools on Feb. 6. The board discussed the redistricting of the elementary schools at last night’s meeting. The board reasons that reorganizing the schools would save approximately $150,000 annually by eliminating three staff positions and increasing class size by two or three students. “The bad thing is we’re in a tough situation. We do not have enough money to run the school system as it is,” said board member Frank Maus. The district has made $1.3 million in cuts already and will have to face more. There will be a redistricting meeting on Monday, Feb.6, at L.T. Ball. It will be open to all members of the public to join in the discussion. The board also announced the retirement of two district employees. Janet Butsch, an art teacher at the middle school, and school nurse Mary Teague will both be retiring in July. “They’ve both been with us for many years and done an excellent job and we wish them both well,” said Merritt.

of investment funds set up overseas. Romney had long refused to disclose any federal tax returns, then hinted he would offer a single year’s return in April. Yet mounting criticism from his rivals and a hard loss in last week’s South Carolina primary forced his hand. “Governor Romney has paid 100 percent of what he owes,” said Benjamin Ginsberg, the campaign’s legal counsel. Ginsberg and other advis-

ers said Romney did not use any aggressive tax strategies to help reduce or defer his tax income. For 2011, Romney will pay about $3.2 million with an effective tax rate of about 15.4 percent, the campaign said. Those returns haven’t yet been filed yet with the Internal Revenue Service. In total, he would pay more than $6.2 million in taxes on $45 million in income over the past two years, his campaign said.

Beginning Feb. 1, the library will begin to celebrate its “white diamond” anniversary in the following ways: • The display case will exhibit the top 10 books for 1937, along with a timeline of library, local and world events. • Feb. 1-14, library staff will forgive fines, upon request, for patrons who have returned all lost or overdue materials. • Each 75 minutes of a specified day prizes will be awarded to someone checking out items. Prizes will be donated by the New Friends of the Library. • Prizes will be award to the win-

In Our View

PERSPECTIVE

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

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP St. Louis Post-Dispatch on ethanol subsidies: Congressional gridlock isn’t always bad. Sometimes doing nothing yields something. So it was that when the nation’s beleaguered senators and representatives left the Beltway for the holidays, a $6 billion subsidy for ethanol production that had been in place for three decades expired on Jan. 1. See how easy it can be to cut the federal budget? But this one was harder than it looked. It took many years for nothing to yield something. For 30 years, a powerful corn lobby and the prominent Iowa presidential caucus combined to create an entire generation of politicians in both major political parties who defended outdated subsidies originally created to help an upstart industry. The idea was that cornbased ethanol mixed with gasoline theoretically could reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil. … The rise of the Tea Party and its distaste for government spending reduced the support within Republican circles for ethanol subsidies. That’s particularly so because the market already is tilted toward the corn growers by state and federal mandates that require gasoline to be mixed with various percentages of ethanol. And liberal Democrats, too, have grown uneasy with the subsidies, in part because of environmental concerns. Other biofuels hold much more promise, and corn-based ethanol subsidies have raised food prices worldwide. The lesson in this harmonic convergence of Tea Partiers and Occupy Wall Streeters, where the extreme elements of both parties conspired successfully against the middle, is that all corporate subsidies should have a beginning and an end. … Ethanol will survive. Our republic, too, will make it through these divided times. If the left and right can agree to let the ethanol subsidy expire, there is hope. San Francisco Chronicle on online piracy: The White House made the right call by opposing key ingredients in congressional proposals to curb Internet piracy. The stance should go a long way to snuff out a misguided effort that undercuts the wideopen qualities of the online world. This battle is no easy call. It pits Silicon Valley against Hollywood over control, responsibility and the legal abuses of the Internet. At issue is a pair of bills in the House and Senate that go after the online theft of copyright materials such as movies and music peddled on pirate websites. California Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein are sponsors of the Senate measure, though their support could shift. A possible upcoming vote would force each to choose between two high-profile home-state industries. The tech world from small websites to big operators such as Google, Facebook and Twitter is up in arms over the nightstick buried in the proposals. In differing ways the two bills would allow copyright holders such as songwriters or filmmakers to go after Internet providers and payment networks, who have nothing to do with illegal pirating. Hollywood interests say this is the only way to stop the illicit trade, which is based overseas and out of reach. Washington must wish this fight never came its way. Both sides in this fight are prized interest groups which symbolize American ingenuity and leadership, not to mention timely campaign contributions. Who wants to pick between Mark Zuckerberg and Steven Spielberg? … In citing its misgivings, a team of Obama security and tech experts hit all the high notes: The proposals invite censorship at a time when the United States is encouraging Internet freedom worldwide, risk cybersecurity worries by pushing web users to find ways to evade the suggested controls, and throws a blanket over the “dynamic, innovative” nature of the digital beast. Washington should consider other, more carefully targeted ways to combat a serious problem.

Everyday decisions shouldn’t be that daunting Decisions, decision, decisions. There are so many decisions we have to make in this life, some serious — some not so serious. Our lives are filled with so many serious decisions we have to make that when the fun ones come up we should take joy in every minute of them. I had a conversation with a few people when I went out the other night. It started out very serious and took a turn for the better and everyone ended up laughing so hard we had side cramps. It was the typical political mumbo-jumbo at first that everyone always vows they will not talk about when there are frosty beverages involved because everyone gets overly emotional — then the topic change just made me smile. My life has had many serious decisions as of late so when I was out that late night and our topic ended on the matter it did, it made me smile and made me realize how many fun decisions we get to make amidst all the life-changing serious ones. Also that sometimes how in the realm of the decisions we don’t realize how silly some of them really are. One way or another that laughter-filled evening we got on the discussion of Oreos, yes Oreos. The lady was talking about how she gets very

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist distraught about her decision on how to go about eating her Oreos when she allows herself to induldge in them. Does she dunk all six of them and keep them whole? Does she untwist two of them and dunk four? Does she untwist all of them and make them double stuffed? The conversation made me laugh so hard I was almost crying and realized that if we really sat down and were honest with each other the way that particular group of people were being honest that night, we would realize how many of the decisions we make are not life-altering and that we should just have fun with them. Where should we eat? LaPiazza or LaFiesta? Should I wear the brown pants or the black pants and do I wear heals with said pants or flats. Do I flat iron my hair or curl it?

— Pat McBride Superintendent

Do I drive down the interstate or back road? Do I put my right leg in first or my left. So many decisions in such little time. Now, these are extreme examples, but how often do not so extreme examples run our lives? As we face the serious decisions, we need to realize which are serious and which are not so serious. Married couples, I’m sorry but whether the toilet seat is up or down and the toilet paper comes from the top or the bottom is not something to argue over. Deciding whether to take the trash out at night or in the morning is not necessary, just pick one and who does the dishes? Really? Just do them and don’t argue about it. Our life continues to get more and more busy. We are pulled in so many different directions, which leads to more decisions. If we would just stop and make our own schedule, make our own decisions and realize what is important and what is not, would we really be so busy? I hear out in public all the time, that “I’m so busy all the time,” but then you ask what people are up to and “Nothing,” is an extremely common response. So what are we deciding to fill our lives with that make us so extremely busy yet, doesn’t make our life fulfilling or joyful?

Of course, talking about all the silly decisions, I have mentioned is a little over dramatic and is funny to talk about but the real silly decisions we have to make don’t need to take up our time. We are only here for a short period of time. We don’t need to fill that short time with daunting decision making that won’t affect the end product one-iota. I speak for myself when I say I’m a terrible decision maker — so many of the silly decisions fill my time, too. I think however, I am going to change that and I have gotten a pretty good start on it. When people ask me where I want to go to eat, I’m going to answer. If they didn’t want to know they wouldn’t have asked and if they don’t like the answer, they won’t ask next time. If I am getting ready in the morning I’m not going to be late because I can’t decide what to wear or what to do with my hair. I have things to do, real things to do — like work, possibly school and taking care of myself, including physically, spiritually and mentally and taking the time to show the people I love that I love them. Any other decisions other than that can wait.

Nation’s oldest federal judge dies at age 104

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown, the nation’s oldest sitting federal judge in history, has died at age 104. Brown died Monday night at the Wichita assisted living center where he lived, his law clerk, Nanette Turner Kalcik, said Tuesday.

Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ nabs 11 Oscar nods Annual ceremony to be broadcast Feb. 26

AP PHOTO

In this film publicity image released by The Weinstein Company, Michelle Williams portrays Marilyn Monroe in a scene from “My Week with Marilyn.” raising her total to 17 nominations, five more than Katharine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson, who are tied for second-place. Streep went two-for-four on her first nominations, winning supporting actress for 1979’s “Kramer vs. Kramer” and best actress for 1982’s “Sophie’s Choice.” But she has lost her last 12 times, and the Globe win for her spot-on personification of Thatcher looks like her best chance yet to break that losing streak. Along with Streep and Williams, best-actress nominees are Glenn Close as a 19th century Irishwoman masquerading as a male butler in “Albert Nobbs”; Viola Davis as a black maid going public with tales of white Southern employers in “The Help”; and Rooney Mara as a traumatized, vengeful computer genius in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” “I am honored to be in

company with such beautiful artists, and touched deeply by my fellow actors for their generosity in giving me this acknowledgment,” Streep said. Octavia Spencer’s win at the Globes as supportingactress for “The Help,” in which she plays a fiery maid whose mouth continually gets her in trouble, could give her front-runner status for the same prize at the Oscars. The same may hold true for supportingactor nominee Christopher Plummer, who won a Globe for his role as an elderly dad coming out as gay in “Beginners.” An esteemed film and stage actor, Plummer went most of his 60-year career unacknowledged at the Oscars until earning a supporting-actor nomination two years ago as Leo Tolstoy in “The Last Station.” If he wins this time, the 82-year-old Plummer would become the

nominations. • “I wasn’t nervous until people started asking me if I was nervous.” best supporting actor nominee Jonah Hill, who couldn’t’ sleep the night before nominations were announced • “It’s great, especially at this age to still be in the ballgame playing. I don’t want to retire, anyway. Never have. I don’t know what the hell I’d do. There’s not much I can do. I’ve been at this for 50 years.” Nick Nolte, who was nominated for best supporting actor in “Warrior.” Just don’t expect too much celebration from

Nolte. “I’m 70. I’m going to go to bed.” • “I feel very honored and special really. You can’t imagine, to arrive at the Oscars when you arrive so low, and you can’t go further than the Oscars.” Berenice Bejo, who received a supporting actress nomination for her role in “The Artist.” • “I’m so talked out. There’s just so many ways to describe real happiness.” “Footnote” director Joseph Cedar, who learned about his nomination while in Israel on a break from helping his son with his homework.

BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) — Martin Scorsese’s Paris adventure “Hugo” leads the Academy Awards with 11 nominations, among them best picture and the latest director nod for the Oscar-winning filmmaker. Also nominated for best picture Tuesday: the silent film “The Artist”; the family drama “The Descendants”; the Sept. 11 tale “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close”; the Deep South drama “The Help”; the romantic fantasy “Midnight in Paris”; the sports tale “Moneyball”; the family chronicle “The Tree of Life”; and the World War I epic “War Horse.” The nominations set up a best-picture showdown between the top films at the Golden Globes: best musical or comedy recipient “The Artist” and best drama winner “The Descendants.” Winners at the 84th annual Oscars will be announced at a Feb. 26 ceremony aired live on ABC from Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre, with Billy Crystal returning as host for the first time in eight years. “The Artist” ran second with 10 nominations, among them writing and directing nominations for French filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius, a best-actor honor for Jean Dujardin and a supporting-actress slot for Berenice Bejo. The film could become the first silent movie to win best picture since the first Oscars, when “Wings” took top honors for 1927-28. “I can’t believe that a year ago I was learning how to tap dance and today I am nominated for an Academy Award,” said Bejo, who is the romantic partner of Hazanavicius and in “The Artist” plays a rising bigscreen star of the sound era. Because of a rule change requiring films to receive a certain number of firstplace votes, the best-picture field has only nine nomi-

McTeer as a woman posing as a male laborer in “Albert Nobbs.” McCarthy is a rare funny lady competing at the Oscars, which rarely honor performances in mainstream comedies such as “Bridesmaids.” Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock’s “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close,” which got mixed reviews and has not been much of a factor at earlier Hollywood awards, was an unexpected best-picture nominee. There were gasps and cheers of surprise from the crowd of publicists and Hollywood insiders at academy headquarters when the film’s nomination was announced. Von Sydow’s supporting-actor nomination also was a surprise. Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” also had been considered a bit of a bestpicture longshot. The movie, which won top honors at last May’s Cannes Film Festival but was a love-itor-hate-it drama among audiences, also picked up a directing nomination for Malick. Oscar heavyweight Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” was shut out entirely, including for best actor, where Leonardo DiCaprio had been a strong prospect as FBI boss J. Edgar Hoover. Other surprises included best-actor contender Bichir, who gave a terrific performance in “A Better Life,” a film few people have seen. Bichir beat out not only DiCaprio but Ryan Gosling for “The Ides of March” and Michael Fassbender for “Shame,” who had been high on Oscar forecasters’ lists. Also missing out on nominations were Tilda Swinton for “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Albert Brooks for “Drive” and Shailene Woodley for “The Descendants.” The best-director roster is loaded with past winners and nominees, including Scorsese for “Hugo,” Malick for “The Tree of Life,” Woody Allen for “Midnight in Paris” and Alexander Payne for “The Descendants.”

Marine denies firing at Iraqi women, children Wuterich faces no more than three months of confinement CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (AP) — A Marine facing sentencing over one of the worst attacks on civilians by U.S. troops during the Iraq War told a judge Tuesday in a surprise development that he never fired his weapon at any women or children. The statement by Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich came a day after he pleaded guilty to a minor charge of negligent dereliction of duty as part of a deal that will mean little or no jail time. “The truth is: I never fired any weapon at any women or children that day,” Wuterich said in a statement during his sentencing hearing. Wuterich also said in his statement that his guilty plea should not suggest that he believes his men behaved badly or that they acted in any way that was dishonorable to their country. Wuterich, 31, led the squad that killed 24 unarmed Iraqis in assaults in the town of Haditha in 2005. As part of a that stopped his deal manslaughter trial Monday, Wuterich faces no more than three months in confinement for the lesser charge. “In no way should my acceptance of responsibility ever be considered an indictment of the Marines or the commanders,” Wuterich said in his first statement to the court since his case went to trial earlier this month. He also spoke to the family members of the Iraqi victims. “I wish to assure you that on that day, it was never my intention to harm you or your families,” he said. “I know that you are the real victims of Nov. 19, 2005.” In Iraq, residents of the Euphrates river town expressed shock and outrage at the plea deal. A survivor of the killings, Awis Fahmi Hussein, showed his scars from being hit by a

bullet in the back. “I was expecting that the American judiciary would sentence this person to life in prison and that he would appear and confess in front of the whole world that he committed this crime, so that America could show itself as democratic and fair,” he said. Prosecutors had implicated Wuterich in 19 of the 24 deaths. A former squad mate testified during the trial that he joined Wuterich in firing in a dark back bedroom of one of the homes where he saw small silhouettes. Later, when former Cpl. Stephen Tatum returned, he said he found woman and children had been killed. Wuterich began his statement in court by telling the family members of victims, “Words cannot express my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain. I wish to assure you that on that day, it was never my intention (to) harm you or your families. I know that you are the real victims of Nov. 19, 2005.” He went on to say he went to Iraq to do his duty, serve his country and do the best job he could. “When my Marines and I cleared those houses that day, I responded to what I perceived as a threat and my intention was to eliminate that threat in order to keep the rest of my Marines alive,” he said. “So when I told my team to shoot first and ask questions later, the intent wasn’t that they would shoot civilians, it was that they would not hesitate in the face of the enemy.” Military prosecutors worked for more than six years to bring Wuterich to trial on manslaughter charges that could have sent him away to prison for life. But only weeks after the long-awaited trial started, they offered Wuterich the deal that stopped the proceedings.

Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, left, arrives with his attorney for a court session at Camp Pendleton in Camp Pendleton, Calif., Tuesday. Wuterich now faces no more than three months in confinement. It was a stunning outcome for the last defendant in the case once compared with the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. The seven other Marines initially charged were exonerated or had their cases dropped. Military judge Lt. Col. David Jones began hearing arguments from both sides Tuesday at Camp Pendleton before making a sentencing recommendation for Wuterich that will be considered by the commander of Marine Corps Forces Central Command. Legal experts said the case was fraught with errors made by investigators and the prosecution that let it drag on for years. The prosecution was also hampered by squad mates who acknowledged they had lied to investigators initially and later testified in exchange for having their cases dropped, bringing into question their credibility. In addition, Wuterich was seen as taking the fall for senior leaders and more seasoned combat veterans, analysts said. It was his first time in combat when he led the squad on Nov. 19, 2005. Brian Rooney, an attorney for another former defendant, said cases like Haditha are dif-

ficult to prosecute because a military jury is unlikely to question decisions made in combat unless wrongdoing is clearcut and egregious, like rape. “If it’s a gray area, fog-of-war, you can’t put yourself in a Marine’s situation where he’s legitimately trying to do the best he can,” said Rooney, who represented Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, the highest-ranking Marine charged in the case. “When you’re in a town like Haditha or Fallujah, you’ve got bad guys trying to kill you and trying to do it in very surreptitious ways.” The Haditha attack is considered among the war’s defining moments, further tainting America’s reputation when it was already at a low point after the release of photos of prisoner abuse by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison. It still fuels anger in Iraq today. “We wonder about such a sentence issued against the defendant. We called upon U.S. to be fair in passing sentences. Regrettably, we are disappointed about the issuance of such sentences,” said Khalid Salman Rasif, a member of the Provincial Council in Haditha, adding he would contact the lawyer for victims’ families for an explanation.

JFK library to release tapes

BOSTON (AP) — President John F. Kennedy’s library is releasing 45 hours of privately recorded meetings and phone calls, providing a window into the final months of his life. The tapes include discussions of conflict in Vietnam, Soviet relations and the race to space, plans for the 1964 Democratic Convention and re-election strategy. There also are moments with his children. On one recording, made days before Kennedy’s assassination, he asks staffers to schedule a meeting in a week. He tells them he’s booked for the weekend, with no time to meet with an Indonesian general then, either. “I’m going to be up at the Cape on Friday, but I’ll see him Tuesday,” JFK tells staffers.

lawmaker from the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi, called the plea agreement proof that “Americans still deal with Iraqis without any respect.” “It’s just another barbaric act of Americans against Iraqis,” al-Dulaimi told The Associated Press. “They spill the blood of Iraqis and get this worthless sentence for the savage crime against innocent civilians.” Wuterich, the father of three children, had faced the possibility of life behind bars when he was charged with nine counts of manslaughter, which will be dropped under the deal. Along with facing a maximum of three months in confinement, he could also lose two-thirds of his pay and see his rank demoted to private when he’s sentenced. Prosecutors declined to comment on the plea deal. During the trial before a jury of combat Marines who served in Iraq, prosecutors argued he lost control after seeing the body of his friend blown apart by the bomb and led his men on a rampage in which they stormed two nearby homes, blasting their way in with gunfire and grenades. Among the dead was a man in a wheelchair. In the deal, Wuterich acknowledged that his orders misled his men to believe they could shoot without hesitation and not follow the rules of engagement that required troops to positively identify their targets before they raided the homes. He told the judge that caused “tragic events.” “I think we all understood what we were doing so I probably just should have said nothing,” Wuterich told the judge. He said his orders were based on the guidance of his platoon commander at the time, and that the squad did not take any gunfire during the 45minute raid. Many of his squad mates testified that they do not believe to this day that they did anything wrong because they feared insurgents were inside hiding.

Talks pit Western demands against Tehran’s defiance DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The last time Iran’s nuclear envoys held talks with the U.S. and other world powers, the negotiations limped along until a parting shot by the Islamic Republic: Its labs boosted the enrichment levels of uranium in reply to demands for a fullscale freeze. Since then, the standoff has only become tenser. The European Union on Monday joined the U.S. with new sanctions targeting Iran’s critical oil exports. Authorities in Tehran fired back with another threat to block tankers in the Persian Gulf even while offering to restart international talks after a one-year gap.

Set some boundaries for playing phone games

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6 p.m.: Around Troy 6:30 p.m.: Health and Home

Dear Annie: My wife is addicted to playing games on her smartphone. She lies in bed in the morning playing games before she gets ready for work. When she comes home, she is often on the phone when she walks through the door. When we sit down for supper (which I usually make), she plays games while we eat. At bedtime, she lies in bed with her smartphone, playing until she falls asleep. If we go out, she plays games at the restaurant. Conversation always begins with, "What?" because she is so engrossed in her game. She hardly does anything around the house anymore and barely notices our son, let alone interacts with him. How do I break her of this habit? — Lost in Lexington, Ky. Dear Lost: These games can be highly addictive, and your wife must admit the extent of her involvement before she will be able to cut back. Have you addressed this directly with her? Have you told her how neglected you feel and how much your son misses his mother? Have you asked her to limit her game-playing to specific times? If she refuses to deal with this or change her behavior, the next step is counseling before your resentment creates a more serious problem. We hope she will listen to an unbiased third party. Dear Annie: I have two sisters. They never have been financially savvy, especially when it comes to saving money. They start and then decide it's a waste of time and end up spending everything they set aside. I'm the opposite. I have always saved for whatever I needed or wanted. My grandfather got me into the habit when I was 10, and I kept it up long after he passed away. Over the past 15 years, I managed to save quite a bit. But when my parents saw what I had, they demanded that I share it with my sisters. I absolutely refuse. This is my money. I earned it. I saved it. And I told them that. Since then, I've been receiving messages from my parents that "families help each other out" and "families share." My parents have always given my sisters money whenever they needed it. When I was in high school, I would always give them money when they needed it. Now that the folks are retired, they say it's my job to help my sisters. I say it's not. Why should I give them my hardearned income because they can't be frugal? I feel as though I am being punished for being financially responsible. My sisters haven't saved a dime toward their own retirements, so this is only going to get worse. What can I do? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: You do not owe your sisters money simply because they have been irresponsible. What you can do, however, is teach them better fiscal behavior. Tell them you are absolutely under no circumstances going to bail them out, so they need to start setting aside some funds for their future. Make an appointment for them to see a financial counselor through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org) at 1800-388-2227, and set up a budget. It's the biggest favor you can do for them. Dear Annie: I disagree with your response to "Loveless in Spokane," the 72-year-old geezer who thinks women in his senior complex should bed down with him after they have dated a "few times." These ladies, and it is obvious they are ladies, were born and raised in an era when good girls did not have sex with a man until after they were married. This old guy is a cad. — Senior Citizen Who Respects Women Dear Senior: Many readers pointed out that these women may not wish to have sex outside of marriage, a perfectly respectable position. If that's the case, however, they should tell him so he understands the ground rules and doesn't keep badgering them.

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. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

What’s the best way to avoid a sticky waffle iron? Dear Heloise: I have a waffle iron with removable nonstick plates. The plates have a buildup of cooking spray, oil, etc., that has rendered them no longer “nonstick,” and I have tried numerous methods to remove the gunk. Nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions? — Walt B., via email Yes, I do! Of course, you should follow the manufacturer’s directions first. Here’s the Heloise hint: Soak a paper towel or napkin with sudsing ammonia (it has detergent in it) and place between the waffle-iron grids. Leave it for several hours (out of the way) or overnight. Then, use a little dish soap and hot

Hints from Heloise Columnist water with a nonabrasive, scrubtype sponge or plastic brush. Rinse well, and dry completely. To re-season your waffle iron, if needed, take pieces of bread, coat with unsalted shortening or unsalted butter and place one in each section of the cooled iron. Close the lid and then turn it on. Cook until the bread is browned, then take it out, wipe

and that’s it! Heloise Update: Lecithin, found in many cooking-oil sprays, leaves a gummy residue when sprayed on a hot surface. Don’t spray oil on a hot griddle. This should help prevent any future buildup. — Heloise ORGANIC MILK Dear Heloise: The lady who recently wrote that she is always having to throw away half-used cartons of milk because she doesn’t drink it fast enough should buy organic milk. It lasts a long time. Check the dates in the store, and you will see. Why does it last longer? I have no idea. — A Reader, North Little Rock, Ark.

How right you are, and thanks for reminding us. Ultrapasteurization and packaging are the reasons organic milk has such a long shelf life. A major manufacturer of organic milk offers both pasteurized and ultrapasteurized milk. The pasteurized has a shelf life of one to two weeks, compared with the ultrapasteurized, with a sell-by date several weeks out. There are single servings of organic milk that keep at room temperature and have an extended shelf life. — Heloise P.S.: Also, lactose-free milk (whole, 2 percent or fat-free) has a longer life, too!

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012 Through working together on a mutual job or goal, there is an excellent chance that a bond between you and an attractive individual will be significantly strengthened in the year ahead. Both of you will be drawn to one another. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you study your financial affairs down to the last detail, you should be able to discover some new ways to generate the gains you desire. Don’t take your past situations for granted. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Refrain from judging someone you don’t really know based on dubious information supplied by others. Even if this person is difficult for some to get along with, this may not hold true for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Playing a supportive role generally isn’t your bag; you’re usually the person leading the pack. However, if you handle your unaccustomed position well, both the accolades and rewards will be shared. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Observe and study persons you admire who do things right, and you can learn more from them than you do from books. Pay heed not only to what they say, but what they do. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you think those who are handling something of significance aren’t doing a good enough job, assume a more active role in their efforts. Set an example they’ll want to follow. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When you allow yourself to have as much time as needed to analyze an important decision, you’ll be able to reach a solid conclusion. Don’t cut yourself off at the knees. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Any task that requires considerable concentration as well as a certain amount of boldness is what you’ll excel at, so don’t shy away from these kinds of jobs. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Because your powers of persuasion are exceptionally strong, you’ll be remarkably good at turning people to your way of thinking. Now is the time to make your pitch. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The timing is perfect for attending to a serious matter that you’ve been sidestepping. Take a deep breath and get down to business the moment you see an opening — it may not last long. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Numbered among your many virtues is an excellent organizational ability that you’ll have a chance to use today. Just be careful not to employ a heavy hand when giving orders. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Provided profit is a motivation, this can be quite a rewarding day for you. If your desire to accumulate that paper is strong enough, you might be able to make some serious gains. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — The possibilities for advancing your selfinterests are exceptional. Don’t be unduly self-serving — just push for what is personally important.

CareFlight transports man after area crash

OCM PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY

MIAMI COUNTY — A single-vehicle crash Monday morning on Rangeline Road, just north of Penny Road in western Miami County, resulted in an area man being transported from the scene aboard CareFlight. Jeremy Black, 32, of Pleasant Hill, was listed in serious condition Tuesday at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. The crash occurred around 11 a.m when a northbound pickup truck, driven by Black, 32, who lives nearby, went off the left side of the road, struck a tree and rolled over before landing in a yard. The Pleasant Hill Fire Department and rescue squad responded to the scene and summoned CareFlight, which landed on Rangeline Road in spite of relatively high winds and rain. No other details are available at this time as the crash remains under investigation by deputies from the Miami County Sheriff’s Office.

Workers to pump oil from grounded liner Saturday GIGLIO, Italy (AP) — A barge carrying a crane and other equipment has hitched itself to the toppled Costa Concordia, signaling the start of preliminary operations to remove a half-million gallons (1.9 million liters) of fuel from the grounded cruise ship before it leaks into the pristine Tuscan sea. Actual pumping of the oil isn’t expected to begin until Saturday, but teams from the Dutch shipwreck salvage firm Smit were working on the bow of the Concordia on Tuesday and divers were to make underwater inspections to identify the precise locations of the fuel tanks. They were at work on the now-hitched Meloria barge as divers who blasted through a submerged section of the thirdfloor deck located another body from the wreckage, bringing the death toll to 16. The Concordia ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan island of Giglio on

Jan. 13 after the captain veered from his approved course and gashed the ship’s hull on a reef, forcing the panicked evacuation of 4,200 passengers and crew. The 16 bodies found so far include the one located on the third-floor deck Tuesday. Seven of the badly decomposed bodies remain unidentified and are presumed to be among some of the 17 passengers and crew still unaccounted for. On Tuesday, the U.S. ambassador to Italy David Thorne was at Giglio’s port where he had lunch with relatives of two missing Americans, Gerald and Barbara Heil of Minnesota. “I think it’s a tragedy, we feel very badly for all the families,” Thorne told journalists after the meeting. Giglio and its waters are part of a protected seven-island marine park, favored by VIPs and known for its clear waters and porpoises, dolphins and whales.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Jan. 25, the 25th day of 2012. There are 341 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 25, 1949, the first Emmy Awards, honoring local Los Angeles TV programs and talent, were presented at the Hollywood Athletic Club. (The very first Emmy presented, for “Most Outstanding Personality,” went to ventriloquist Shirley Dinsdale, star of the KTLA chil-

dren’s show “Judy Splinters.”) On this date: • In 1533, England’s King Henry VIII secretly married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who later gave birth to Elizabeth I. • In 1787, Shays’s Rebellion suffered a setback when debtridden farmers led by Capt. Daniel Shays failed to capture an arsenal at Springfield, Mass. • In 1890, reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) of the New York World completed a roundthe-world journey in 72 days, 6

hours and 11 minutes. The United Mine Workers of America was founded in Columbus, Ohio. • In 1909, the opera “Elektra” by Richard Strauss premiered in Dresden, Germany. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Gregg Palmer is 85. The former president of Georgia, Eduard Shevardnadze, is 84. Actor Dean Jones is 81. Country singer Claude Gray is 80. Blues singer Etta James is 74. Movie director Tobe Hooper is 69.

Gadhafi loyalists seize Libyan mountain city BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi loyalists seized control of a Libyan mountain city in the most serious challenge to the central government since the strongman’s fall, underlining the increasing weakness of Libya’s Western-backed rulers as they try to unify the country under their authority. The taking of Bani Walid, one of the last Gadhafi strongholds captured by the new leadership late last year, was the first such organized operation by armed remnants of Gadhafi’s regime. A simultaneous outbreak of shootings in the capital and Libya’s second largest city Benghazi raised authorities’ concerned that other networks of loyalists were active elsewhere. The security woes add to the difficulties of the ruling National Transitional Council, which is struggling to establish its authority and show Libyans progress in stability and good government. Bani Walid’s fall comes after violent protests in Benghazi, where Libyans angry over lack of reform stormed the NTC headquarters and trashed offices. In Bani Walid, hundreds of well-equipped and highly trained remnants of Gadhafi’s forces battled for eight hours on Monday with the local pro-NTC revolutionary brigade, known as the May 28 Brigade, said Mubarak al-Fatmani, the head of Bani Walid local council. The brigade was driven out and Gadhafi loyalists then raised their old green flag over buildings in the western city. Four revolutionary fighters were killed and 25 others were wounded in the fighting, al-Fatmani said. There were no immediate signs that the uprising was part of some direct attempt to restore the family of Gadhafi, who was swept out of power in August and then killed in

In this Sept. 18, 2011 file photo, former rebel fighters celebrate as smoke rises from Bani Walid, Libya, at the northern gate of the town. the nearby city of Sirte in October. His sons, daughter and wife have been killed, arrested or have fled to neighboring countries. Instead, the fighting seemed to reflect a rejection of NTC control by a city that never deeply accepted its rule, highlighting the still unresolved tensions between those who benefited under Gadhafi’s regime and those now in power. Those tensions are tightly wound up with tribal and regional rivalries around the country. The May 28 Brigade had kept only a superficial control over the city, the head of Bani Walid’s military council, Abdullah al-Khazmi, acknowledged. The only link between Bani Walid and the revolution was May 28, now it is gone and 99 percent of Bani Walid people are Gadhafi loyalists,” he said. He spoke to The Associated Press at a position on the eastern outskirts of Bani Walid, where hundreds of pro-NTC reinforcements from Benghazi were deployed with convoys of cars mounted with machine guns, though there was no immediate move

to retake the city. The fighters who captured the city Monday night belong to Brigade 93, a militia newly created by Gadhafi loyalists who reassembled after the fall of the regime, said alKhazmi and al-Fatmani. The fighters, flush with cash and heavy weaponry including incendiary bombs, have been increasing in power in the city, they said. There was no possibility to confirm their claims. However, there were no mass evacuations from the town after the clashes, an indication that the residents appear to accept the new arrangement, said Ali alFatmani, a revolutionary brigade commander in Bani Walid. Authorities in Benghazi, where the NTC is centered, appeared concerned that the Bani Walid uprising could have sent a signal to other cells of Gadhafi forces. An AP reporter who was present in the Benghazi operation room heard military commanders on Monday saying coordinated incidents of drive-by shootings in Tripoli and, to a lesser extent, Benghazi erupted as news of the Bani Walid takeover spread.

Just a glimpse Devils show off potential in another close loss BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com For a 12-minute stretch, Tippecanoe provided a glimpse of how good it could be on Tuesday. During a stretch spanning from the four-minute mark in the second to the end of the third, the Red Devils canned seven 3s and outscored Graham 36-20. “Talk about getting hot,” Tippecanoe coach Matt Pond said. “I thought we sped up the game with the press, and that played to our advantage.

■ Wrestling

Dual ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 one up by their record, and that’s where you placed.” The dual will have a little of everything, with the seniors recognized beforehand and with a halftime show six or seven matches in, during which Tippecanoe wrestling alumni will be honored. And those old-school Devils are hoping to see some of their memories brought back to life. “We invited our alumni to come back, and I had some of those former wrestlers and coaches send me their favorite memo-

ries. And almost all of them were from duals,” Krebs said. “(Former coach) Keith Kauffman had some great memories of our duals with MiltonUnion, who was our big rival back then. “One year, we were kind of the underdog, and Milton was winning by 17 with three matches to go — meaning we had to get pins in all three matches to win. Two of those Milton wrestlers were ranked higher in the Dayton area than our guys — but we got those pins, won the dual and went on to win

the league. That kind of excitement is what we’re hoping to bring back.” Duals have seemingly disappeared over the years at every level of wrestling, with most teams favoring large-scale tournaments with as many teams as possible, or even tri- and quad-matches, where teams dual each other then dual another team — often with both matches occuring side-by-side. It can be a significant investment in time for fans to go to those tournaments, too, and with so many matches going on at once,

the action can be hard to follow — and when the fans whoop and cheer, it can be hard to tell which match they’re watching. Thursday night, everyone will be focused on one match at a time. “We feel that if we have a two-hour, two-hour-and15-minute dual, that’s about as long as a basketball game. We feel like we can get more people to come out and support us as opposed to a big tournament, a super-tri or even a tri where they might sit for four or five hours,” Krebs said. “We feel like

wrestling as a whole has lost some of its fan base because they spend so much time at those tournaments. They’re good for the wrestlers because they get a lot of match time in — but not as good for the fans sometimes.” And singling out the Tecumseh match was a good choice, also. “If you ask the kids at the school who our rival is, they’ll say Tecumseh,” Krebs said. “They’ve kind of built that tradition in basketball and football, and that’s why we picked that meet. I think the

teams are pretty evenly matched, so it should be pretty exciting. We’ve really been hyping the match up around the school. “(Athletic Director) Matt Shomper said that he could pull out the student section for us, and wanted to know if we could fill it. The kids said, ‘Oh, we’ll fill it.’ We’re hoping to get some of those classmates that may never have seen a wrestling meet before and get them caught up in the excitement of it all. Duals were a really fun thing to be a part of, and we’re hoping to bring them back.”

■ College Football

Numbers don’t lie Buckeyes on a roll COLUMBUS (AP) — The numbers support the fact that No. 4 Ohio State is playing well. The Buckeyes (17-3, 5-2 Big Ten) lead the nation in scoring margin, winning by an average of 22 points a game. They’ve won 11 times by 29 or more points, 14 games by at least 20 and have only two victories where the margins were single digits. On top of all of that, they’ve won two in a row and four of five heading into Wednesday night’s home game with Penn State. Ohio State comes into the week tied with Michigan and Michigan State for first place in the conference. Yet coach Thad Matta isn’t so sure that winning the last game or two or three means much the next time a team takes the court. So, can a team build momentum game by game? “Quite honestly, that is something that every coach in the world in any sport is trying to figure out,” Matta said Tuesday. “Obviously, I’ve learned over time that this is a game of momentum, it’s a game of runs. But you’ve also got to have the toughness to stop the other team’s runs, that sort of a thing. There is such a fine line of wanting your guys to feel good about what they’ve accomplished (while at the same time) you’ve got to bring them back to reality.”

Nebraska’s Jorge Brian Diaz, left, and Dylan Talley, right, defend against Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger (0) during the first half Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. In other words, Matta lives in fear that his players will, instead of feeling good about winning, start to become overconfident and entitled. It’s difficult for a coach to get the mix right: building up the players, while at the same time preventing them from getting too full of themselves. “Trying to ride the wave is something,” he said, shaking his head. His players echo that philosophy. They are secure in knowing that they can win any time

they step on the court, while also being aware that if they don’t put out their best effort, any momentum they’ve built will evaporate. “Sometimes it’s easy for teams to come in and think just because they won their last game that they’re just going to show up and win,” starting guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. said. “It doesn’t work like that. You have to take each opponent for what it’s worth and give them your best shot just like you played the last team.”

Now is a good time to build up some steam. The Buckeyes battered thenNo. 7 Indiana by 17 points on Jan. 15 and then rolled over Nebraska by 34 on the road on Saturday. After playing the Nittany Lions (10-11, 2-6), they take on the heart of the schedule. Six of their final 10 games are against teams currently in The Associated Press Top 25, including two meetings with No. 10 Michigan State, two with No. 20 Michigan and two with No. 25 Wisconsin. Matta doesn’t quote the great philosophers. He leans more toward former Army, Indiana and Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, who once said, “If what you did today is important to you, then you haven’t done (expletive).” (When Matta recites that quote, he hesitates and replaces the expletive with the word “anything” and smiles.) The Buckeyes appear to have learned that lesson well. Substitute swingman Sam Thompson, whose role has grown in recent games, says what the team does in recent practices is far more important than what it’s done in games. “No matter what we do in one game, the next game can be completely different,” he said. “We have to have good days in practice leading up to that game and we have to have the same mindset coming into that game as we did the previous game. And that is to play harder and execute better than the other team.”

■ Tennis

Nadal, Federer to meet in semis M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) The intensity was vintage Rafael Nadal. On the stroke of midnight, he thrust his arms up and punched the air, sealing the victory that sets up the most anticipated semifinal at the Australian Open in quite some time. Roger Federer did his part to put this in place. In the previous match on Rod Laver Arena, he beat 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan

Martin del Potro 6-4, 6-3, 62 in a quarterfinal marking his 1,000th tour-level match. A Federer-Nadal semifinal had been looming since the draw for the season’s first major the first time the pair have been in the same half at a Grand Slam tournament since 2005. Playing with a new racket and a heavily taped right knee, Nadal was at his demonstrative best, rallying after losing the first set to

beat Tomas Berdych 6-7 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-3. Yelling “Vamos,” disputing line calls, pumping his arms after winning big points and bounding around like a hyperactive kid, Nadal ripped winner after winner against Berdych in a 4-hour, 16-minute display of pure intimidation. He said he was nervous in the first set he’d lost in the quarterfinals two straight years but by the third and fourth sets things

Welcome to the neighborhood

had indeed changed. “The character on court, the way to win the points … the level is very positive, much, much better than the end of the season,” he said. “Semifinals is fantastic result for me.” Federer finished his match with one of his classic, one-handed backhands against Del Potro, one of only two men who have beaten him in a major final. The other is Nadal, who has done it six times.

Scott Paterno, second from left, and Jay Paterno, second from right, receive mourners as they file through the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on the Penn State campus for the viewing for their father, former Penn State coach Joe Paterno, Tuesday in State College, Pa. Paterno died Sunday morning.

Thousands pay respects to JoePa STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — They stood outside for hours on a winter afternoon, waiting to pay their respects to the late Joe Paterno. The line snaked down a long block on the Penn State campus. Inside a campus spiritual center, the coach’s body lay in a closed, hardwood casket topped by a spray of white roses. About six feet away sat a stylized blackand-white picture of the man who became lovingly known on campus as “JoePa,” smiling and peering out through his trademark thick-rimmed glasses. Three days of public mourning began Tuesday for a Penn State community already racked by months of turmoil. The 85year-old Paterno — a Hall of Fame coach and the face of the university — died Sunday of lung cancer. He had been ousted just days before learning of his diagnosis in November, forced out of his job in the wake of child sex-abuse charges against a former assistant. “We’re not going to focus on the bad, we’re going to pull together and focus on the good,” said Brittany Yingling, 23, of Altoona, donning a blue Penn State knit cap with “Paterno” in bold white letters emblazoned on the front. “He’s going to leave a lasting legacy on so many people.” And thousands showed up, lining a main campus artery for a chance to make the walk, single file, past Paterno’s casket, which had an “honor guard” of two Penn State players — one past and one present.

Some mourners stopped for a moment of reflection, or to genuflect in the interfaith hall. Others fought back tears and sniffles. The only other sounds were the clicks from media photographers, taking occasional pictures. Paterno won 409 games and two national championships over his a 46-year career admired by peers as much for its longevity as its success. Paterno also took as much pride in the program’s graduation rates, often at or close to the top of the Big Ten. “I came to pay my respects to a great man, that has nothing to do with victories,” said Paterno’s longtime assistant and defensive coordinator, Tom Bradley. “A lot of his victories people don’t even know about.” Large windows bathed the white-walled hall at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center in light on a cloudy day. Some of Paterno’s family attend services at the center. Members of the public were preceded by the family, including two of Paterno’s sons. Scott Paterno and Jay Paterno — the former Nittany Lions quarterback coach — spent some time shaking hands and thanking wellwishers before they exited the building. “Going in there, waiting two hours in line, it was worth every second of it,” said Rob Gressinger, a Penn State junior. “I’ve lost all my grandparents and the feeling is the exact same thing … Feels like you lost one of your own.”

TC 51, XC 20 XENIA — Sometimes, the bucket is as big as an ocean. Troy Christian enjoyed a quarter like that Tuesday night. The Eagles (9-3) were 9 for 9 from 2-point range, 1 for 2 from beyond the arc and 1 for 1 from the free throw line during the second quarter at Xenia Christian, outscoring the Ambassadors 22-6 in the frame and going on to win 51-20 in Metro Buckeye Conference play. “The real story of the game was our defense,” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “We forced 21 turnovers — one shy of the school record — and 20 points is two shy of the lowest ever allowed.” Grant Zawadzki led the Eagles with 15 points, Spencer Thomas posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds and Christian Salazar added 10 — eight in the second quarter. Troy Christian hosts Dayton Christian Friday. Bethel 45, NE 41 BRANDT — Bethel (9-2) built an eight-point halftime lead and held on from there, holding off a stubborn Northeastern team 45-41 Tuesday night. Three Bees were in double figures. Patrick Bain led the way with 15 and Dusty Elsass and Kyle Hamlin scored 10 piece as Bethel picked Northeastern apart with its guard play. “They had seven wins coming in,” Bethel coach Rick Hickman said. “A couple of those (wins) were pretty impressive, one being a win over Greenview. So we knew what they were capable of coming into this game.” Bethel travels to TriVillage Friday. Carlisle 59, M-U 39 CARLISLE — The Milton-Union Bulldogs couldn’t find ways to score in the second half Tuesday night, losing their fourth straight in a 59-39 Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division defeat at second-place Carlisle. Chris McGrath led the Bulldogs (4-8, 2-5) with nine points as Milton-Union was close at the half, 25-22, but only managed 17 secondhalf points. Milton-Union travels to Preble Shawnee Friday. TV 65, Covington 30 NEW MADISON — Covington struggled to contain the Cross County Conference’s second-place team Tuesday, falling 65-30 at Tri-Village. Troy Cron led the Buccaneers (6-7, 3-3) with 10 points, while Ryan Craft and Cole Owens each added eight. Covington takes on Newton Friday. • Girls Troy 64, Xenia 25 XENIA — After the first quarter, there was no doubt. Troy held Xenia to one measly free throw in the first eight minutes of Monday’s makeup game, turning that into a 33-6 lead at the half and coasting to a 64, 25 victory at Xenia. The post tandem of Tori

Merrell and Zechariah Bond combined for 30 points — with Merrell leading the way with 18 and Bond adding 12 — and point guard Kristen Wood kept things under control and added 14 points as Troy (95) matched its best offensive output of the season. The Trojans beat West Carrollton 64-19 on Dec. 7. And just like that game, the offensive effort was fueled by the defense. Troy led 17-1 after the first quarter and allowed only 10 field goals in the entire game. Troy remains on the road tonight, traveling to Lebanon. ME 52, Graham 35 CASSTOWN — Monday’s Miami EastGraham game was supposed to have been played in the first week of the season, but it got moved back due to the Vikings winning a state title in volleyball in the fall. In the second half, they acted like one title isn’t enough. The Miami East (14-1) defense held Graham to a paltry 1 for 17 from the field in the second half, turning a three-point deficit at the break into a 52-35 laugher Monday night. Trina Current and Angie Mack each led a balanced Viking scoring effort with 12 points and Emily Kindell added 10. Abby Cash and Trina and Ashley Current also each had 10 rebounds as the Vikings won the battle of the boards 39-14, and Cash added seven assists. Miami East travels to Tri-County North Thursday. M-U 60, FM 50 PITSBURG — Danielle Vincent scored 18 points, one of three Bulldogs in double digits Monday night as Milton-Union (6-8) rallied from a six-point halftime deficit to win 60-50 at Franklin Monroe. Danielle Vincent hit three 3s on the night and added three assists, Cate Busse added 11 points and seven rebounds and Katelyn Vincent scored 10 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out seven assists for Milton-Union. Brooke Falb hit three 3s for nine points, Megan Swartz also added eight rebounds and five assists and Megan Ward had sex rebounds. The Bulldogs travel to Dixie Thursday. Houston 38, Newton 32 PLEASANT HILL — Newton fell behind early and couldn’t quite catch up Tuesday, falling to Houston 38-32. Marina Snipes led Newton with 13 points, Trista Lavy scored nine and Andee Welbaum added seven. The Indians (8-8) travel to Mississinawa Valley Thursday. XC 58, TC 49 XENIA — Xenia Christian’s Michaela Nelson scored a game-high 30 points, leading the Ambassadors to a comefrom-behind 58-49 victory over Troy Christian Monday. Morgan Haddad led the Eagles (5-9, 2-5 Metro Buckeye Conference) with 19 points and Lydia Demmitt chipped in eight as Troy Christian was outscored 22-13 in the third quarter after leading 18-16 at the half. Troy Christian hosts Dayton Christian Thursday.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 3-pointer gave the Red Devils a 29-26 edge midway through the third. Tipp hit five 3s in the third alone, with quarter Hughes hitting two of them. The Falcons were able to keep the game close on the hot shooting of Austin Hicks, who hit three of his game-high five 3-pointers in the quarter, and Tipp only led 40-39 at the end of the third — despite being up by as much as seven at one point. Graham jumped out to a 13-4 lead by the end of the first, as its aggressive defense forced five turnovers and had Tipp flustered at times. The Red Devils wanted to pound the ball into the paint to their big man Brandon Ervin, but the Graham defense collapsed when the ball did get in the post, making it hard on Tipp to generate an offensive flow. After a technical foul was issued to Tipp, Graham extended its lead to 19-4 early in the second. But the Red Devils stepped up their ‘D,’ forcing six Graham turnovers and bouncing back with a 14-4 run in the last five minutes of the quarter, closing the gap to 23-18 at break. Cameron Johnson — who finished with 16 points — gave the Devils a huge lift, scoring 10 points during that run. A steal and layup by Sean Ford — who had seven assists — capped off the run to make the score 23-18 at half. “We were down 19-4, then we climbed back and got it down to five,” Pond said. “We had a good surge. I thought we stepped up our effort there during that run. We just fell short.”

Tippecanoe’s Brandon Ervin works the ball inside Tuesday against Graham. Graham took the lead right back to start the fourth, with Grant Goddard hitting two freebies to give the Falcons a 41-40 edge. Tipp’s Nick Fischer, who finished with 13 points, answered right back, knocking down a 3 — his second of the game — to put Tipp up two. Ervin — coming off a 30 point performance against Greenon on Saturday — hit a layup on a Ford assist to the lead to 45-41. But another Hicks trey ignited a 16-7 Graham run to close the game.

Heat holds off Cavaliers, 92-85 MIAMI (AP) — Chris Bosh scored 17 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, LeBron James added 18 and the Miami Heat survived another shaky offensive night to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 92-85 on Tuesday night. Bosh made 10 of 16 shots and reached the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season for Miami, which improved to 4-1 against Cleveland since James joined the Heat. The 35 points matched Bosh’s high since joining Miami. Kyrie Irving Cleveland’s No. 1 overall draft pick last year and a friend of James, who the Cavaliers drafted No. 1 in 2003 scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Samardo Samuels made his first seven shots and finished with 15 points for the Cavs, who got an 11-point, 11-rebound night from Anderson Varejao and 10 points from Ramon Sessions. Former Cleveland State star Norris Cole scored 10 for Miami, and Udonis Haslem grabbed 10 rebounds for the Heat. Miami committed 18 turnovers, leading to 22 Cleveland points, but found

a way thanks to Bosh down the stretch. Bosh made his sixth 3pointer of the year with 4:26 left, giving the Heat some long-awaited breathing room at 75-67, which actually represented Miami’s biggest lead to that point. And after Irving hit a pair of free throws to get Cleveland within three, Bosh went to work again. He took a pass from James, drove the left side of the lane, got fouled and fell to the court as his shot fell to set up a three-point play. A minute later, Bosh faked Antawn Jamison into the air and making an 18-footer for an 84-76 edge then

pointing to his wife as he happily jogged toward the Heat bench. Cleveland got within three points twice in the final moments after scores by Irving, but no closer. Miami improved to 7-1 this season without Dwyane Wade, who missed his fifth straight game with a sprained right ankle. His status remains day-to-day. It was the fifth meeting between the Heat and Cavaliers since James made his decision to switch jerseys in July 2010. James’ first return to Cleveland was one of the signature moments of last season, and the other three matchups

between the clubs while nowhere near the spectacle of that first game were accompanied by an extraordinary amount of interest and excitement. This time, Heat vs. Cavs was just another game. No huge media crush, no extra security presence, no hubbub of any kind. “Looks that way,” Cavs coach Byron Scott said before the game. “I think after a year of kind of going through it, I think it’s just like any other basketball game right now.” So the game lacked the off-the-court buzz. In fairness, it was missing any on-court buzz, too.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 stretched the lead to 85 pins after two games and then outrolled Sidney 184-162 and 213-170 in baker play to secure the match. Elizabeth Reed rolled a match-high 405 series with games of 177-228. Allie Isner shot games of 211-179 for a 390 series. Stephanie and Courtney Metzger each rolled a 198 game while Samantha Wilkerson contributed a 190 to the Trojan scoring. The Troy boys improve to 19-2 overall (16-2 GWOC) while the Trojan girls move to 18-3 (16-2 GWOC). Troy travels to Greenville today to continue GWOC North play. • Tipp Splits with KR SPRINGFIELD —

Tippecanoe’s girls won yet another narrow Central Buckeye Conference contest Tuesday, while the boys fell victim to another outstanding night by the opposition with the Red Devil girls beating Kenton Ridge 2,323-2,122 and the boys falling to the Cougars 3,0042,794. “It’s tough to bowl as well as the guys did and lose. KR is a really good team, and 3,000 is a very tough score to beat,” Tippecanoe coach Clay Lavercombe said. “(The girls) did really well, got focused and dialed in quickly and came ready to work. It was a really awesome job by all, especially Jenny Korleski, who came in cold for baker after Jordan (Amspaugh) got

sick.” Chelsea Brown led the girls (12-3, 9-3 CBC) with a 202 game and 361 series, Rebecca Milas added a 173 game and 342 series, Caitlin Wolff had a 170 game and 332 series, Demi York rolled a 169 game and 320 series and Amspaugh rolled a 145 game and 289 series. Ryan Rittenhouse had a big day for the boys (10-5, 84 CBC) with a 237 game and 463 series. Logan Banks rolled a 202 game and 394 series, Josh Bellas rolled a 193 game and 379 series, Steven Calhoun rolled a 190 game and 363 series and Luke Nimer added a 193 game. Tippecanoe hosts Springfield Shawnee on Friday for Senior Night.

Jackets fall to St. Louis TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis both had a goal and an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Tuesday night. Mike Angelidis and Nate Thompson also scored for the Lightning, who have won four in a row after a seven-game skid. Columbus got goals from Brett Lebda and Ryan Johansen. The Blue Jackets, coming off a 4-1 loss at Nashville Monday night, have lost four straight. Lecavalier put the Lightning ahead 2-1 on the power play with a redirected goal from the low slot 8:19 into the second. The Tampa Bay captain has three goals and 10 points during a six-game point streak. St. Louis made it 3-1 on an in-close goal off a pass from Lecavalier with 3:04 left in the second. St. Louis, who assisted on Lecavalier’s goal, also extended his point streak to six games (eight assists, 10 points). After Johansen cut the Columbus deficit to 3-2 from the low left circle at 5:40 of the third, Thompson got the goal back at 11:29. Tampa Bay outshot the Blue Jackets 24-11 through two periods and 31-24 overall. Columbus, with an NHL-low 32 points, is 1-18-1 when behind entering the third period. Angelidis stole the puck from Colton Gillies, skated into the Columbus zone and scored his first NHL goal coming in his first game by beating goalie Curtis Sanford on a backhander with 6:40 to go in the first. Angelidis is the fifth Tampa Bay player, and first since Ryan Craig on Dec. 17, 2005, to score a goal in his NHL debut. Lebda, signed as a free agent by Columbus last Thursday, tied it at 1 just 1:47 after Angelidis’ goal on a shot from the low right circle that got past goaltender Mathieu Garon. It was the defenseman’s first goal since last Feb. 24, and 20th overall in 369 NHL games.

Ovechkin to skip All-Star game ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Alex Ovechkin is skipping the NHL All-Star game, a decision he announced a day after getting a three-game suspension from the league for a hit on an opponent. “My heart is not there. I got suspended, so why (do) I have to go there?” the Washington Capitals’ captain and a two-time league MVP said Tuesday. “I love the (AllStar) game. It’s a great event. I love to be there.” But Ovechkin added: “I feel I’m not deserving to be there right now. If I’m suspended, I have to be suspended.” Capitals general manager George McPhee said he supported Ovechkin’s decision to back out of the All-Star game. “Because he’s a suspended player, he doesn’t feel like he deserves to be there, doesn’t want to be a distraction,” McPhee said.
