Former Troy fire chief dies Counts led department for 33 years

Pastors learn to heal selves COLUMBUS (AP) — Pastor Rickey Baker was wrapping up a Sunday sermon at New Palestine Church in North Linden when he suddenly felt exhausted and weak, so much so that he eventually left the sanctuary and found a seat in the foyer. More than two years later, the 50-year-old Baker has changed his eating habits and slimmed down. See Religion,

Fatal crash may not have been weather-related BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com Friday’s snowstorm was more manageable than the storm that hit Miami County a month ago, reported city and county crews. However, a fatal crash occurred in Bethel Township, though the crash does not appear to be weatherrelated. At about 3 p.m., John Hughes, 56, of New Carlisle veered off the left side of the road and sideswiped several trees before hitting another head-on, which is thought to be the cause of his death, said Miami County Sheriff’s Lt. Mike Whaley. He added that the road did not have ice on it, though other streets still had icy patches.

MIAMI COUNTY By late afternoon, city and county street crews said main roads had been reduced to slush, and side streets had been salted. “The temperature helped us out a bit,” said Miami County Engineer Paul Huelskamp. “Most of the roads are just wet, and there’s not much blowing or drifting snow.” Troy saw about 3.5 inches of snow — about the average in the county — between about 7 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., said meteorologist Brian Coniglio of the National Weather Service. Tipp City had about 3 inches, while roughly 4 inches fell in West Milton. City and county crews hit the

roads just after the snow began falling. Tom Funderburg, Troy assistant director of public service and safety, said all main and secondary roads had been salted and plowed by 4 p.m., with side roads salted. Main roads include Market and Main streets along with Ridge Avenue, while secondary roads are those that intersect. “The mains and secondaries I’ve seen are mostly wet, and we do have salt out to keep them from refreezing,” he said. Neither the city nor county anticipated needing to salt into the night hours or today, but would have crews available if need be.

A Piqua couple had their day in court this week and both received differing sentences for abandoning four puppies at the Peterson Road bridge on Nov. 9. Steven A. Bixler, 29, of Piqua, will pay fines and court costs of approximately $450, will work 40 hours of community service and was given a suspended jail sentence of two months in jail for his convictions on two counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of abandonment of animals. He also will spend the next two years on probation. Bixler initially was charged with two counts of animal cruelty and four counts of animal abandonment. Shonda R. Lee, 37, of Piqua, was originally charged with a count of animal cruelty and failure to license a dog. She was convicted of one count of failure to license a dog and was ordered to pay court costs of $74. A sheriff ’s deputy patrolling on foot near the bridge found the four puppies after a vehicle pulled up and dumped them. The four puppies were later adopted out to good homes by the Miami County Animal Shelter. The mother dog, Precious, was surrendered by Lee on Nov. 13. She was adopted out to a good home, too. Lee claimed she was unable to care for the four puppies.

chief all of the years I was mayor — and I never had to worry about that department. He ran the show. He always made sure the equipment was up to date and in good shape. As far as personnel matters, you never had to worry about him. He always did a good job and a fair job. He really was a great person. He did what was best for his department and all the men and women in his department.” A Troy native, Counts was appointed as a fulltime paid firefighter on March 24, 1952. He was promoted to lieutenant April 1, 1961, and became chief on Nov. 22, 1965. At the time of his appointment, Counts was one of the youngest fire chiefs in the state of Ohio. He retired on April 4, 1999. During his time as chief, Counts headed up a number of projects that helped grow the Troy Fire Department into what it is today. He oversaw the construction of the main fire station on Race Street in 1966 and the subsequent contructions of the North Market Street and Stanfield Road substations. During his time as chief, personnel grew from 15 to 42 full-time employees. In 1968, the department started an ambulance service. “I’ve known him for a long time,” current Troy Mayor Michael Beamish said. “I had the opportunity to get to know him both as fire chief and as the chairman of the Civil Service Board. What I’ll most remember about him was that he was a

straight-shooter. He didn’t pull any punches. And I always respected that — I think everyone respected that about him. He had the respect of everyone he came in contact with. That’s just the type of man he was. “One of my favorite stories that I’ll never forget about him was the time he told me, ‘Fire trucks will always be red. Anything else is just a utility truck.’ I’ll never forget that story — and I would always bring it up every time I saw him. That was how he was — fire trucks were always red and that’s just the way it was going to be.” Current Troy Fire Department Chief Chris Boehringer was hired by Counts and will forever remember working alongside him. “He’s the one who gave me my opportunity to start in this profession,” Boehringer said. “At 34 years old, he saw fit to take a chance on me. At that time, there was a lot of controversy about the (maximum) age for a (starting) firefighter, whether it should be 32 or 36 or whatever — but he took a chance on me. If not for him, I may not have had this chance — and I’m eternally grateful to him for giving me this opportunity. “He was in charge. He expected a certain level of performance, a certain behavior and a certain professionalism. He made it very clear what the lines were, and if you went outside those lines, he was quick to bring you back inside those lines. He had a way of chewing your rear end so that you

weren’t always sure it was there when he got done. Sometimes when you would leave his office, you would be checking to make sure it was still there. But the guys always respected him for that. You may not always agree with him, but you always knew he was going to treat you fairly.” While Counts’ contributions to the Troy Fire Department were immeasurable, they were just one aspect of a life lived in full. A 1948 Troy High School graduate, Counts was a standout athlete who served as the catcher on the baseball team for Harold “Corky” Valentine, who went on to become a Major League Baseball pitcher. Upon hearing of Valentine’s passing, Counts remembered putting a sponge in his catcher’s mitt to soften the pitches of the hard-throwing Valentine. He also was a standout football player for the Trojans and played golf late into his life. After graduating from Troy, Counts attended Bluss Business College in Columbus. He left to enter the U.S. Army, where he served from Jan. 14, 1949, to Oct. 8, 1951. He was married for 63 years to Joan Counts, who survives. He also is survived by four children, 10 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Counts was born into a firefighting family. His father, George Lewis Counts, was a firefighter, as was his brother, George “Buddy” Counts Jr., who served as his assistant chief for 15 years. His family members all have fond memories of the time

Robert Counts spent as a firefighter. “Daddy started working at the fire department when I was 2, so I don’t remember anything other than the fire department in my life,” said daughter Linda Baehr. “He became chief when I was 16 and retired just before I turned 50. There were advantages to being the oldest — he took me fishing at the river for sunfish — one of my earliest memories. My sisters and brother and I spent many hours climbing all over fire trucks, exploring all the nooks and crannies of the fire department. I was always fascinated that kids thought the fire department was so special – it was a normal part of our lives. “As I grew older, obviously our relationship changed, but we always have remained close. Through my trials and tribulations of my life — we all have them — he and mom have always stood by me and he was always there as a sounding board, ready to offer up his advice, wanted or not. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved my dad. He has been part of my life for 63 years and it’s going to be really hard to get used to not talking to him.” Another daughter, Bobbi Gearhardt, shared many of the same fond memories as her sister. “It would be difficult to remember all of the special times with our father,” she said. “He was special to us and also to everyone else he touched, from neighbors to childhood friends and later friends and colleagues in

Free Masonry, fire service and EMS. I feel blessed to have been able to be his daughter and to work with him, whether it was locally or traveling to an International Association of Fire Chiefs event. I remember meeting the friends he talked about and seeing the true friendship and admiration they had for dad. We could laugh and joke about events that caused others to cringe because we talked the same language when it came to EMS. And he was always happy that I never pursued a firecareer — fighting although he evolved over time, it took many years for him to accept that women could actually fight fires as well as men. “Dad started at Troy Fire Department when I was a few weeks old, so I remember very little of that — but I remember when he worked 24 hours on and 24 hours off. I always thought it was pretty cool that mom took us up there to visit on his duty days. Being the ever observant child, when asked what firemen did, I replied that they ‘played pinochle.’ Much later, I was able to sit in on part of the paramedic training program conducted by Dr. Robert Davies. He was so excited about the whole class and opportunities for the department. I guess he learned a lot because when I went to Canada with mom and dad to visit my younger sister and was 7 ½ months pregnant with our daughter, he prayed for me to go into labor … he never got the chance to deliver a baby until the blizzard of 1978.”

face him because they were there that night. They witnessed it.” Judge Christopher Gee said the testimony of the 7year-old brother and the 8year-old sister who witnessed the assault was credible. “The court found the testimony of the (children) to be credible with respect to the events leading up to the death of their sister, Malisa DeLaSancha,” Gee said. The two children testified through tears and sobs Wednesday at the start of the murder trial that Gauldin, the live-in

boyfriend of their mother, used a lighter to burn the hands and feet of Malisa before slamming and then throwing the 4-year-old against a living room wall over an argument regarding a blanket. Gauldin maintained the child fell down the steps the night of April 12 at 1012 Caldwell St. in Piqua, a story the two siblings told authorities at first, but it later came out in testimony that Gauldin threatened to kill both children unless they lied to police. The cause of death to the child was ruled a homi-

cide from multiple blunt force trauma to the head, neck and chest. She sustained a herniated brain stem, a coroner testified this week, and died two days following the assault on April 14. First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tony Kendell and Public Defender Steve King withheld comment until after Gauldin’s sentencing hearing. Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison said he was pleased for the family, the prosecutors and police officers “that worked very hard to get to this day.”

“This was a tough type of case for the investigators and the family,” he said. “The children in this case, everybody that dealt with them, were especially fond of the survivors of the abuse and our thoughts are with them, especially now and hope for some normalcy in their lives to come sometime soon. … The children were just real troupers.” The judge scheduled a sentencing hearing for 9 a.m. Tuesday for Gauldin, who faces 15 years to life in prison for causing the death of Malisa.

Tipp City man pleads guilty to rape Obama picks new chief of staff A Tipp City man entered a plea of no contest and was found guilty of the rape and molestation of a female child under the age of 10 during a change of plea hearing in common pleas court Friday. Joseph N. Gilbert, 35, of 2359696

TROY Tipp City, was found guilty of one count of rape, a first-degree felony, and gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony, and was given a prison sentence of 15 years to life and a $10,000 fine. In addition, he was labeled a tier III sex offender, which means he must register routinely as a sex predator for the rest of his life in the county

where he lives, works or receives an education. Gilbert was indicted by a Miami County grand jury Dec. 20 on the charges. According to that indictment, Gilbert committed the sex offenses throughout September of last year and it involved a girl under the age of 10. Authorities began investigating the man after the victim told her mother about the sexual abuse.

PERSPECTIVE

“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 Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald on food safety progress: New, more stringent food safety rules ordered by Congress in 2010 are a step closer to reality. But it still will be at least three years before they can begin to affect the number of outbreaks, illnesses and deaths from salmonella and other food-borne pathogens. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 3,000 Americans or more die from these diseases each year, while about 1-in-6 Americans (48 million) gets sick and 128,000 are hospitalized. The Food and Drug Administration indicated the new rules could prevent almost 2 million illnesses annually. Congress gave the FDA authority to require U.S. food producers and manufacturers to draw up detailed plans to ensure the safety of their products, giving large producers three years to comply and smaller facilities and growers even longer. Lawmakers ordered the FDA to inspect production facilities more frequently. Many plants today are not checked for years at a time. The FDA also will more closely oversee imported foods, which account for about 15 percent of the nation’s food supply by value. Imports totaled $76 billion As I through the first 10 months of 2012.

The debt ceiling, which the country is expected to reach by early March, is the first of three economic hurdles Obama faces this spring. It is also the most important. GOP Tea Party-movement followers in the House broke with the leadership last year to force a near-default. Although no bills went unpaid, this resulted in an international downgrade in America’s credit rating. Not this time, said Obama: “The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip. And they” — the House Republican hard-liners — “better decide quickly, because time is running short.” In short order after that, Obama and Congress must deal with an automatic, across-the-board slash of more than $1 billion in government spending. The dramatic meat-ax approach was an unsuccessful attempt to galvanize lawmakers into attacking the deficit problem. The deficit is still there, and we’re still stuck with the automatic cuts. Congress then must pass a spending bill to keep the government running after the temporary spending measure enacted last fall expires, again risking a government shutdown and economic setback. … It could be a good year, Obama said, “if only politics don’t get in the way.” It’s a variation of an old Washington expression about unrealistic hopes: If we had some ham, we could have ham, and eggs if we had some eggs.

LETTERS

Commissioners need reviewed To the Editor: Upon review of the investigation of Miami County, I have many questions that others should. With the levels of control in county government, how can a commissioner state, “Commissioners maybe weren’t as vigilant as they should have been.” Residents of Miami County have entrusted the commissioners to oversee county operations and, as residents of Miami County, we need to be more vigilant in demanding change. Throughout, it was indicat-

ed that county assets were not tracked, records falsified and thousands of dollars in gratuities given to Miami County from Waibel Energy Systems that paved the way in receiving millions of dollars in no-bid contracts. Tremco Roofing was given approximately $2 million in projects since 2008 in no-bid contracts. When asked about this, it was stated by county administrator/clerk Leigh Williams, “I did not understand the process well.” It was joked about by the county commissioners adoring the “Taj Maharra” as they discussed the gratuities given to Miami County and the magni-

tude of facility improvements that were made to the maintenance office without proper permits. They claim they had no idea about the amount of gratuities given and they claim they had no idea about the proper process. As stated, “could we be accused of lack of institutional control, yes I do not doubt that.” It is time for honesty, integrity and transparency within our county government. This will only happen with the replacement of three commissioners and one administrative clerk within this county.

DOONESBURY

President Obama’s re-founding of America For the left, this is what winning looks like. President Barack Obama gave a second inaugural address that just as easily could have been delivered by progressive darling Elizabeth Warren. If the president didn't repeat the phrase that Republicans threw back at him so often during the 2012 campaign — "you didn't build that" — the speech was a meditation on the same theme of the limits of individual action. The address was a paean to collectivism, swaddled in the rhetoric of individual liberty and of fidelity to the founding. He began and ended with the Founding Fathers and threaded the Declaration of Independence throughout. This gave the speech a conservative sheen. He used the words "timeless," "ancient," "lasting" and "enduring." He sounded like Republican Sen. Marco Rubio in invoking "what makes us exceptional," namely "our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago." But this framing of the speech only served to amplify the ambition of President Obama's larger political project. He hopes to reorient the American mainstream and locate conservatives outside it. He wants to take the founders from

Rich Lowry Troy Daily News Guest Columnist the right and baptize the unreconstructed entitlement state and the progressive agenda in the American creed. In Obama's telling, the high points of our national life are found in collective action, in the growth of government, in teachers trained and roads built. "Now, more than ever," he declared, "we must do these things together, as one nation and one people." He presented his agenda as the logical consequence of the Declaration of Independence's enunciation of the equality of all men and our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For Obama, that means equal-pay legislation, gay marriage and amnesty for illegal immigrants. He included a long passage on the necessity of fighting climate change with transformative ener-

gy policies. "That's what will lend meaning," he said, "to the creed our fathers once declared." (One wonders what Thomas Jefferson would have made of the argument that his handiwork is meaningless absent federal subsidies for the likes of Solyndra.) According to President Obama, entitlements like Medicare and Social Security don't merely represent a necessary safety net for the vulnerable. "They free us to take the risks that make this country great," he maintained, in a highly imaginative interpretation of these programs. In a clear slap at Republicans, Obama declared, "We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate." This smacks of hypocrisy from a politician who gleefully mocked Mitt Romney in the general election and questions the motives of his opponents as a matter of routine. In Obama's mind, though, there is no contradiction. As obstacles to the togetherness that defines America, Republicans are burdened with the taint of illegitimacy. For all their obsession with the founding, he is saying, it is they who represent a break with the American tradition. For all their

accusations that he is a radical, it is they who are the extremists. He gives them the implicit choice of getting with his program or getting run over. All of his bows to modesty were formalistic. He mentioned "outworn programs," without even promising to eliminate any. He said we have always had a suspicion of central authority, but of course he didn't endorse it. He said we don't have to settle the debate over the size of government once and for all, while insisting that we keep expanding it on his own terms. All in all, it was a brazen performance, as audacious in intent as it was banal in its expression. He used the founders' authority to advance an expansive conception of American government that would have been unrecognizable to them. Amid the pomp and the circumstances, Republicans should have heard a direct challenge. The president did them, and everyone else, the favor of enunciating the battle lines and the stakes of the fights to come.

Abortion opponents march in nation’s capital rounding streets for the March of Life. “I just felt this 40th year marked a huge anniversary for the law,” said one demonstrator, Pam Tino, 52, of Easton, Mass, who also participated several years ago. “Forty is a very important year in the Bible as well, in terms of years in the desert. And I just felt like maybe this year that was going to be something miraculous that might happen. We might see something going forward with the cause.” With the re-election of President Barack Obama, she added, “we just have our walking papers. Now we just feel like we have to keep the battle up.” The large turnout reflected the ongoing relevance of the abortion debate four

Earlier this week, abortion opponents marked the anniversary with workshops, prayers and calls for more limits on abortion rights.

who last year unsuccessfully sought the Republican presidential nomination. He recalled the love and support the country showed for his young daughter, Bella, who was born with a serious genetic condition and whose illness led him to take some time off from the campaign trail. He cited his daughter’s life “she is joyful, she is sweet, she is all about love” as a reason to discourage abortion even in instances when women are told that it would be “better” for their unborn children to have one. “We all know that death is never better never better. Really what it’s about is saying is it would be easier for us, not better for her,” he said. “And I’m here to tell you … Bella is better for us

and we are better because of Bella.” He said the anti-abortion cause was made up of people who every day advocate for their position outside abortion clinics and at crisis pregnancy centers. “This movement is not a bunch of moralizers standing on their mountaintop preaching what is right,” Santorum said. One demonstrator, Mark Fedarko, 44, of Cleveland, said he regularly stands outside of abortion clinics in hopes of discouraging women from going inside. “There’s God’s law and man’s law,” he said. But I follow God’s law first. Like it says right here, thou shall not kill. That’s the end of the story. We need to protect these children.”

Ohio pastors learn to heal themselves COLUMBUS (AP) — Pastor Rickey Baker was wrapping up a Sunday sermon at New Palestine Church in North Linden when he suddenly felt exhausted and weak, so much so that he eventually left the sanctuary and found a seat in the foyer. Chest pains prompted him to call for emergency medical service, and he was taken to a hospital, where the father of four learned he had had a massive heart attack. More than two years later, the 50-year-old Baker has changed his eating habits and slimmed down. He says God was trying to wake him up and set him on a path to ensure he’d be able to keep doing the work he was meant to do. Baker is not alone in his struggle to stay healthy as the leader of a church congregation. Recent studies indicate that clergy members might sometimes be so focused on taking care of their flock that they neglect their own health. For example, researchers at Duke University in Durham, N.C., found in 2008 that United Methodist pastors in North Carolina had an obesity rate of about 41 percent, versus the state average of about 29 percent. The pastors also had higher rates of high blood pressure, angina, diabetes, asthma and arthritis. “They’ve been called to

selves and OK to say no to,” she said. Added to the self-pressure is pressure from congregations that expect pastors to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Proeschold-Bell said. As church budgets shrink and people have less time to volunteer, pastors are responsible for everything from mowing the lawn to planning Bible camps to raising money for a new building. She said it’s important for church leaders to understand and address the pressures because the cost of clergy health care could bankrupt congregations. The Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the United Methodist Church and the Reformed Church in America are among those that have taken steps in that direction, as have local groups.

members. Methodist Theological School in Ohio, in Delaware, has overhauled food-service options to encourage morehealthful eating: All-youcan-eat meals and a softdrink fountain have been eliminated from the dining hall, and fresh fruit is free

with any purchase. In vending machines, soda has been replaced with juice, candy bars with granola bars. A goal is to raise awareness when potential clergy members are just beginning on their path, said the Rev. Jay Rundell, president of the school.

Along with changing food options, the school has offered more workout space and opportunities for students to take advantage of the campus’ vast outdoor areas. A healthy clergy, he said, can serve as a role model for congregations. “A pastor has the privilege to be in a very central place,” he said. “Most pastors in most congregations have a great deal of influence. With that kind of influence, you could set really good examples.” Pastors are constantly responding to phone calls, text messages and emails, Baker said. Even when things do get quiet, the members of their congregation are still on their mind. He and his wife, Carolyn, New Palestine’s co-pastor, joined West’s Pastor Fit Program in September after their son heard a radio ad offering a free 28-day trial. Mr. Baker said he also changed his eating, exercise and thinking habits, and the couple have continued to work with West. “I’m really looking forward to working out now. My body craves it,” said Mrs. Baker, 48. “It’s been so great for us physically, there’s no way we could walk away.”

Sandy’s homeless living anxious lives in hotels TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — Diane Burstein spends her days sifting through apartment listings and disaster paperwork and her nights lying awake with worry, her daughter and grandson sleeping feet from her in a cramped hotel room. The family has nowhere else to go. Three months after Superstorm Sandy destroyed their apartment, the Bursteins are among at least 3,500 families displaced by the storm in New York and New Jersey who have been living in hotels and motels, sometimes bouncing to a different room as reservations for weddings, parties and conferences eat up hotel space. Their hotel stays funded by the Federal Emergency Agency Management expire every two weeks, leaving them in a constant state of anxiety over whether they’ll be pushed out onto the street. “I’m panicking. I just panic,” said Burstein, who is staying at a hotel in Toms River. “I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack.” The next deadline is Saturday, when families will learn whether they must pack their bags and check out. The program has been extended in New York and New Jersey until Feb.

9, but individual families are still waiting to hear whether they will be allowed to stay because claims are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. According to FEMA, people are no longer eligible for hotel assistance if they have received rental assistance, have a viable housing option or an insurance settlement, or can return to a repaired home. For storm victims with no other housing options, the anxiety is palpable. Most spend their days on the phone with a neverending stream of federal agencies, contractors and insurance agents, struggling to sort out the housing mess Sandy left behind. “What happens if you don’t have the money to fix your home?” wondered Ayanna Diego, who is holed up at a hotel near LaGuardia Airport with her mother, 17-year-old son and 12-year-old niece. “It’s an issue.” Diego, 37, is staring down $180,000 in repairs to her family’s home in the Far Rockaway section of Queens. She was laid off from her job at Verizon last summer and is currently living off FEMA money and unemployment checks to feed her family and pay for daily expenses.

Round 2 for Sloppy Joe’s bar Havana landmark to reopen HAVANA (AP) A halfcentury later, Jose Rafa Malem remembers the balmy breezes blowing through the bar’s arching porticos, the grain of the tall wood stools, the whiff of Pedro Domecq brandy on his father’s breath. And how could he forget the tangy ground-beef-andtomato-sauce sandwiches synonymous with what was then one of Havana’s hippest hangouts, playfully dubbed Sloppy Joe’s? “I ate so many, I got tired of them,” said Rafa, a 59-yearold Havana native who grew up to become a bartender. Soon, Rafa will be able to relive those boyhood memories as the original Sloppy Joe’s reopens in Havana’s historic quarter, giving residents and tourists from all over the chance to belly up to the same bar that served thirsty celebrities such as Rock Hudson, Babe Ruth and Ernest Hemingway. It’s part of an ambitious revitalization project by the Havana City Historian’s Office, which since the 1990s has transformed

to rescue a place that has so much history and is so recognized around the world,” said Ernesto Iznaga, manager of the born-again Joe’s, which will be run by stateowned tourism concern Habaguanex. Sloppy Joe’s was founded in 1918 by a Galician immigrant named Jose Abeal Otero who purchased a grocery store in Old Havana after years of tending bar in New Orleans and

Miami. Legend has it the sobriquet comes from the place’s grubbiness and Abeal’s American nickname, Joe. Employees made sandwiches to order behind the black mahogany bar, polished to a high shine and purportedly once the longest in Latin America at about 59 feet (18 meters). After dark, the place filled up with Americans on vacation.

Angry protests, clashes on Egypt anniversary CAIRO (AP) — Egyptians delivered an angry backlash against President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood on Friday, marking the second anniversary of the start of the country’s revolution with tens of thousands filling major squares and streets around the country to call for a new regime change. Two years to the day that protesters first rose up against now-toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak, Egypt is entrenched in the new phase of its upheaval, the struggle between ruling Islamists and their opponents, played out on the backdrop of a worsening economy. Rallies turned to clashes near Tahrir Square and outside the presidential palace in Cairo and in multiple cities around the country, with police firing tear gas and protesters throwing stones. At least four people, including a 14-year-old boy, were killed in the day’s worst clashes, in the city of Suez, where protesters set ablaze a building that once housed the city’s local government. More than 370 were injured nationwide, the Health Ministry said, including five in Suez with gunshot wounds, raising the possibility of a higher death toll. Friday’s rallies appeared to have brought out at least 500,000 opposition supporters, a small proportion of Egypt’s 85 million people, but large enough to suggest that opposition to Morsi and his Islamist allies is strong in a country fatigued by two years of political turmoil, surging crime and a free falling economy that is fuel-

ing popular anger. Protests and clashes took place in at least 12 of Egypt’s 27 provinces, including several that are Islamist strongholds. “After what happened to me, I will never leave until Morsi leaves,” said protester Sara Mohammed after she was treated for tear gas inhalation during clashes outside the president’s palace in Cairo’s Heliopolis district. “What can possibly happen to us? Will we die? That’s fine, because then I will be with God as a martyr. Many have died before us and even if we don’t see change, future generations will.” The immediate goal of the opposition was to have a show of strength to push Morsi to amend the country’s new constitution, which was pushed through by his Islamist allies and rushed through a national referendum last month. But more broadly, protesters are trying to show the extent of public anger against the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization Morsi hails from, which they say is acting unilaterally and taking over the state rather than setting up a broad-based democracy. Morsi is Egypt’s first freely elected and civilian president, a significant feat given that all his four predecessors were of military background. But his six months in office have been marred by some of the worst crises since Mubarak’s ouster and divisions that have left the nation scarred and in disarray. A giant wave of demonstrations erupted in November and December following a series of presidential decrees, since rescinded, that gave Morsi near absolute powers, placing him above any oversight, including by the judiciary. The Brotherhood and its Islamist allies, including the ultraconservative Salafis, have justified their hold by pointing to their string of election victories the past year though the opposition says they have gone far beyond what in many ways is a narrow mandate — Morsi won the presidency with less than 52 percent of the vote. Brotherhood officials have increasingly depicted the opposition as undemocratic, trying to use the streets to overturn an elected leadership.

TONIGHT

SATURDAY PRIME TIME 5

Dear Annie: I would like to reply to "Arizona Grandparents," whose daughter won't allow them to see their grandchild. They asked whether it will ever get better. My granddaughter was 6 when my son and his wife divorced and I was no longer allowed to see her. I continued to send her a card and money on every birthday and at Christmas. I never heard back and had no idea whether she received them. Her other grandmother kept me informed from time to time and even sent me her 5th grade picture. When she was 14, my granddaughter wrote me a nice letter. I was ecstatic! I wrote her back, but heard nothing. I had no money for a lawyer and didn't want to do anything that would put me completely out of contact. My son lived halfway across the country. When my granddaughter was 17, my son found her Facebook page. After her 18th birthday, I called her, and she was happy to hear from me. She lived only two hours away. We met at a central location and had a wonderful reunion. Since then, we've been in regular contact. She is now 23, married and expecting her first child. So, Arizona Grandma, don't give up. Just do what you can, and hopefully your story will end as happily as mine. — A Happy Grandma Dear Grandma: We heard from many grandparents, most of whom had happy endings. Read on: From Indiana: For two years, I did not get to see my grandson. During that time, I did a lot of praying and crying. For his birthday and Christmas, I would leave his presents on his front porch. One day I got a phone call, and my son invited me to come over, saying, "It's time you got to know your grandson." Our first visit lasted three hours. On the way home, I did a lot of praising God and crying. I now get to see him a couple of times a week. He calls me Grandma. I have him in my life now, and we will continue to move forward and not dwell on the past. Florida: We have not seen our granddaughter in three years. My husband and I live 10 minutes away, but aren't allowed to visit. At one point, my son wished me dead. I send cards and presents, but I don't know whether they give these things to her or tell her they are from us. My friends say to wait until she is older. But she's only 10 now, so I may not be around when she's older. This is all over a stupid disagreement (with his brother) that we are paying for. I have three other grandchildren who miss their cousin. I have apologized and am willing to see her on their terms if only they would communicate with me. Maybe they'll read this. Illinois: Nine years ago, my oldest grandson called and told me not to contact him again. I could tell he was being coached by his mother, my son's ex-wife. One winter day early last year, my grandson and his mother stopped by my house unannounced. I was surprised and happy. It turns out my grandson had contacted my son (his father). Now he calls me Grandma, and we see him every once in a while. He'll be 22 this week, and I hope to celebrate with him. Miracles do happen. Indiana: Your response to "Arizona Grandparents" was right on. My husband and I have had to deal with the same type of mean-spirited behavior from our eldest daughter. Tell them to keep in touch with their 7-yearold granddaughter with cards for her birthday, Christmas gifts and acknowledgments of the important times in her life. Our grandson is now 22 and in the Navy, and we get to chat and see him when he comes home. It does hurt when you are cut off, but in time, it can turn out OK. Please tell them there is always hope. They are not alone. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Reader shares thoughts on box tops and vinyl shelving Dear Heloise: I’d like to suggest to your readers to ask their school-age children if their school collects and uses “BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION” coupons. These are found on many products and earn money to buy necessary school supplies. Schools that use these will be grateful for more. Also, I’ve always had difficulty trying to measure, cut and apply shelf paper. My hint has been very helpful for me. I bought self-sticking vinyl floor tiles. They are easy to measure and cut with a box cutter; plus, they are easy to wipe clean. I now have my shelves and

Hints from Heloise Columnist drawers lined with vinyl. Works great! Keep up your great column in the San Antonio ExpressNews. I really enjoy reading every one of them. — Patsy F. Shinn in San Antonio Patsy, I’m glad you enjoy my column. I’m happy to pass along your hint about the box

tops! Readers, start saving them, and give them to the school of your choice. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Dorothy Shaulis in the Shanksville/Berlin area of Pennsylvania sent a photo of her beautiful blue point Siamese cat that she adopted from a shelter two years ago. Dorothy says: “She was about 9 months old when we adopted her. She loves to crawl under the covers on the bed in my sewing room and take her afternoon nap. She does this herself. I walked in one afternoon, saw her sleeping and ran

to get my camera. I love her!” To see this “sleeping beauty,” visit my website, www.Heloise.com, and click on “Pets.” — Heloise FLOWERS Dear Heloise: After purchasing many artificial flowers for table decorations at a fundraiser, the question was how to secure the flowers in their paper-bag “vases.” At our local dollar store, we got cans of play clay, which were perfect to weight the flowers. Afterward, we put the lids back on and stored everything for the next party (although one volunteer kept a couple for her grandchildren!).

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day to enjoy sports, play with children or catch a movie. Basically, you don’t feel like working because you want a day off. And why not? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Home, family and your domestic needs are your primary focus today. Conversations with a parent could be significant. Listen to what a female relative has to say. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have a strong need to enlighten others or discuss your point of view. Find someone who is willing to hear what you have to say. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Take stock of your cash flow, because it will make you feel better. After all, information is power, especially when it comes to what you own and what you owe. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which is why you feel so emotional. This means you have to be more patient when dealing with others, especially because it’s been a Full Moon for you! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel the need to hibernate or cocoon today because you need a breather. You’ve been working hard, so it’s time to take a rest. (Then you can work even harder.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with female friends will be significant today. Someone needs a sympathetic ear; perhaps that someone is you. Share your dreams for the future with others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The details of your private life might be made rather public today because the Moon is in the top of your chart. Just be aware of this, because you are a secretive person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you have a strong need for adventure today, do something different. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Talk to people from different backgrounds. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Clean up loose details about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You’ll feel better if you make a dent in these messy areas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) When the Moon is opposite your sign, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This only happens once a year, so it’s really no biggie. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Set aside time today to get better organized. Straighten messy areas and do what you can to feel like you are more on top of your scene. YOU BORN TODAY You are bright, clever and often exhibit ingenious talent at a young age, and you maintain a childlike delight and curiosity in life no matter what your age. In your mid20s, you become more sympathetic, imaginative and sensitive to everything around you. This sensitivity helps you artistically. In the year ahead, you will learn and study something valuable for your future. Birthdate of: Alan Cumming, actor; Mimi Rogers, actress; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Jan. 26, the 26th day of 2013. There are 339 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On Jan. 26, 1788, the first European settlers in Australia, led by Capt. Arthur Phillip, landed in present-day Sydney. On this date: In 1784, in a letter to his daughter Sally, Benjamin Franklin expressed unhappiness over the choice of the eagle as

the symbol of America, and stated his own preference: the turkey. In 1942, the first American Expeditionary Force to go to Europe during World War II arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1950, India officially proclaimed itself a republic as Rajendra Prasad took the oath of office as president. In 1988, Australians celebrated the 200th anniversary of

their country as a grand parade of tall ships re-enacted the voyage of the first European settlers. In 1993, Vaclav Havel was elected president of the newly formed Czech Republic. In 1998, President Bill Clinton forcefully denied having an affair with a former White House intern, telling reporters, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

TC holds off DC Milton, East pick up wins Staff Reports DAYTON —When Troy Christian’s Grant Zawadzki went down in the first quarter, things turned gloomy for the Eagles. Dayton Christian built up a 30-18 halftime lead as Troy Christian struggled to find its way without its leader in scoring and assists. But the Eagles regained their footing in the second half, outscoring Dayton Christian 14-4 in the final quarter to stay unbeaten in Metro Buckeye Conference play, emerging with a 49-44 victory Friday in Dayton.

Holden Varvel’s 3-pointer with 1:10 left on the clock gave the Eagles their first lead since the four-minute mark of the first quarter. From there, Spencer Thomas closed the game out at the foul line. “I’m very proud of how the kids responded after losing Grant, who is our team leader in scoring and assists,” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “It took them a while to adjust, but I thought we really came together as a team and

Technical late in 2nd OT costs frustrated Trojans BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

Chieftains Staff Reports The Tippecanoe boys defeated Bellefontaine by a score of 2,8212,379, while the girls team suffered a 2,026-1,843 loss Friday at Troy Bowl. The boys were led by Steven Calhoun’s 427 series, while Josh Bellas and Ryan Rittenhouse each had 424 series. Logan Banks added a 404 in the win.

Whether or not referees should let players decide games on the floor is typically a debate saved for once the game ends. But after seeing it in two straight overtime periods Friday night, the frustrated Troy Trojans couldn’t help starting the argument a little early. And it cost them dearly.

Hopefully they can keep it rolling next week against Kenton Ridge and Stebbins.” Despite getting a career-high 341 series from Jasmine Fletcher. Sarah Rhoades added a 283 series, Sarah Marshall had a 260 series and Catherine Timmons had a 251. “The girls bowled well,” Lavercombe said. “Jasmine set a new career high.

Sweet revenge Devils get payback, beat Arrows BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@civitasmedia.com

WHAT’S INSIDE

When Tippecanoe played at Tecumseh on Dec. 14, the Arrows handed the Red Devils their first loss of the season. On Friday in Tipp City, however, it was a different story. The Red Devils took a doubledigit lead into halftime and went up by as many as 20 in the third quarter. Then in the fourth, Tippecanoe withstood a fierce Tecumseh rally to emerge with a 59-55 Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division victory. “The last three weeks, we just keep getting better,” Tippecanoe coach Marcus Bixler said.

TIPP CITY “Practices have been great. They’re getting the idea that if you practice well, it’s going to carry over. Our last three games we’ve played well, minus against Versailles where we didn’t shoot the ball well. But they’re starting to get it figured out.” Tippecanoe (13-3, 5-2 CBC Kenton Trail) went on a 7-0 to open the third and took a 14point lead into the final quarter. But Tecumseh’s Josiah McFarland led a massive fourthquarter rally — scoring 13 points in that span to help his team crawl back into the game. McFarland’s three-point play

— WAYNESVILLE Down nine entering the fourth quarter, MiltonUnion outscored Waynesville 28-12 to pull off a 53-46 victory against one of the top teams in the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division. “They are the defending league champs for the last two years,” Milton-Union coach Rusty Berner said. “They gave us our only loss at home. I think they entered tonight tied for first in our league. “I think this win is just a testament to learning how to win and believing.” Waynesville’s Troy Black tied the game with a bucket with two minutes remaining. Following that, though, Milton’s Ben Stelzer hit an open 3-pointer and the Bulldogs never looked back. “That was a big shot for us,” Berner said. The Bulldogs only had three turnovers in the second half, while outrebounding the Spartans 23-15 in

that span. “I’m just proud of the fact that they played their hearts out,” Berner said. “We became a lot more aggressive in the second half offensively and that enabled us to get to the line. We shot 16 free throws in the fourth. “You could just see that it was all about the team getting the win in the second half. The guys didn’t care who was scoring the points. We really just came together — and I thought that second half really embodied what team basketball is all about.” Milton hosts Dixie in a makeup game Tuesday.

Murray tops Federer Reaches Australian Open final with victory M E L B O U R N E , Australia (AP) — Andy Murray was sucking in deep breaths, trying to recover from his exhausting win over Roger Federer. Pain was very much on his mind. The U.S. Open champion defeated Federer 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 in a fourhour Australian Open semifinal Friday night. It was Murray’s first victory against the 17-time major winner at a Grand Slam event. But with the clock about to strike midnight, Murray was already thinking about Sunday’s final against twotime defending champion Novak Djokovic, who is on a 20-match winning streak at Melbourne Park. This will be a rematch of their U.S. Open final. “Every time we play each other it’s normally a very physical match,” Murray said. “I’ll need to be ready for the pain. I hope it’s a painful match that’ll mean it’s a good one.” Murray had a 10-9 record against Federer, but had lost his three previous Grand Slam matches to the Swiss star. One of those defeats came at Wimbledon last year. Murray says the disappointment of that loss triggered his run to the gold medal at the London Olympics, and then his drought-breaking triumph at the U.S. Open. “You know, I’ve obviously lost some tough matches against him in Slams,” Murray said. “So to win one, especially the way that it went tonight, yeah, was obviously nice.” Murray ended a 76-year drought for British men at the majors when he beat Djokovic in five sets in the final at Flushing Meadows. He’s hoping the step-bystep manner in which he has crossed career milestones off his to-do list will continue Sunday. He lost four major finals, including two in Australia, before winning a Grand Slam title. He lost three times to Federer in a major before beating him. Even then, he wasted a chance to serve out in the fourth set Friday night as

Andy Murray hits a forehand return to Roger Federer during their men’s semifinal at the Australian Open tennis championship Friday in Melbourne, Australia. Federer rallied. “Those matches … have helped obviously mentally,” he said. “I think going through a lot of the losses that I’ve had will have helped me as well. Obviously having won against Novak before in a Slam final will help mentally.” Djokovic will not be the only defending champion this weekend playing for another title. Victoria Azarenka will face China’s Li Na on Saturday night for the women’s crown. Azarenka hasn’t added a major title since her breakthrough in Australia last year. She’s coming off a semifinal victory over American teenager Sloane Stephens in which she had to answer a torrent of questions over her nine-minute medical timeout after wast-

ing five match points and then dropping serve in the next-to-last game. Li, who is seeded sixth, lost the 2011 Australian final before claiming her first major title months later at the French Open. She made the final with less commotion, beating No. 2 Maria Sharapova in straight sets. The first title of the 2013 Australian Open, women’s doubles, was decided Friday when top-seeded Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy beat unseeded Australians Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2, 36, 6-2. That was a prelude to the night match, where 15,000 people packed Rod Laver Arena, including the great Laver himself, to see if Federer could reach a sixth Australian final. The 31-

year-old Swiss has won four of his 17 titles at Melbourne Park. He showed flashes of his customary genius, but also rare bursts of anger. Murray showed his frustration as well. The crowd started to turn on him after he challenged a call in the eighth game of the fourth set, booing each time he complained to the umpire. His unforced error into the net on the next point prompted a huge cheer. In the 12th game of the fourth set, Federer appeared to yell across the net after Murray stopped momentarily behind the baseline during the rally. Murray shrugged it off and seemed to dig in. He’d won that point but lost the game and was taken to another tiebreaker, which he lost.

Mistrial in former Ben-Gal’s libel suit COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Jurors couldn’t decide whether two lewd posts about a former Cincinnati Bengals cheerleader were substantially true or not, leading a federal judge to declare a mistrial Friday in her $11 million defamation lawsuit against a gossip website. Former cheerleader and high school teacher Sarah Jones, 27, is suing Scottsdale, Ariz.-based thedirty.com and its operator over two anony-

mously submitted posts that said she had slept with every Bengals player and likely had two sexually transmitted diseases. The posts were unrelated to Jones’ relationship with her former 17year-old student. Jones pleaded guilty in that case in October in a deal that allowed her to avoid jail time but forbade her from ever teaching again. She and the teen are still dating. U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman

declared the mistrial after jurors failed to reach a verdict over two days of deliberations following the threeday trial in northern Kentucky. A new trial date, which would mean a whole new jury, could be set during a hearing scheduled for March 1. Jurors were tasked with deciding whether Jones proved the posts about her having sex with all the Bengals players and likely

having STDs were substantially false. But the closest they came to answering that question was an 8-2 vote in Jones’ favor; the verdict had to be unanimous. Jurors did unanimously agree that thedirty.com’s operator, Nik Richie, did not act with malice when he posted the submissions. That means jurors would not have awarded Jones any money had they all been able to agree that the posts were substantially false.

Judge weighs whether to keep rape trial open STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — An attorney for one of two Ohio high school football players charged with raping a 16-year-old girl withdrew his motion to close the trial Friday, leaving the judge to hear arguments on the issue despite not having the motion before him and not planning an immediate ruling. Defense attorney Walter Madison previously raised concerns that an open trial could lead to potential witnesses on his client’s behalf being intimidated following intense publicity and social media commentary about the case. Madison said after the hearing that he believes the related motion to move the trial out of Jefferson County to reduce the possibility of witness intimidation or harassment would address his initial concerns about closing the trial. “My concern, and that being that witnesses are comfortable and willing to participate in this process,” he said, “I thought that was best addressed through a change of venue versus closure.” An attorney for the girl had said he’d be willing to file a similar motion for closing the trial, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office reiterated its support for the closure. Attorneys for media outlets including The Associated Press presented arguments supporting an open trial to ensure public confidence in the proceed-

ings. Judge Thomas Lipps, a special judge brought in from Hamilton County to oversee the trial, said he’d consider their statements. Lipps, who previously rejected a request to try the two players separately, plans to rule next week on motions to move the trial and delay it, and other secondary motions including a request not to refer to the girl as a victim, but rather an accuser. The state opposes all of those motions. The athletes are accused of attacking the girl twice after an alcohol-fueled party in mid-August in Steubenville in far eastern Ohio. Three other students who witnessed the attack but weren’t charged are expected to testify at next month’s trial. The girl attends a high school across the river in West Virginia. The girl and her parents want the trial closed to keep evidence that a judge might rule inadmissible from becoming public, their attorney argued in a court filing Tuesday. That could include “harmful” and “legally non-relevant” evidence, attorney Robert Fitzsimmons has said. Keeping the hearing closed also will protect the girl, who has maintained her anonymity through the proceedings, Fitzsimmons said. The AP generally doesn’t identify people who say they are the victims of sexual assault.

Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taren Kinnel passes the ball to a teammate Friday at Butler.

Trojans â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 a tough shot to go on a drive into traffic, Butler took the ball with 8.5 seconds left. The Aviators missed a shot, but Jordan Greer got an offensive rebound and had his shot blocked. But â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just like they had on a play with four seconds left in the first overtime that allowed the Aviators to tie the score at the free throw line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the officials called Troy for a foul on the play, giving Greer a pair of chances to win the game with time already having expired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason why we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it in their (the refereesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) hands,â&#x20AC;? Troy coach Tim Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take care of our own business before it comes down to that, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that tonight. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control enough of the things that we can control throughout the game.â&#x20AC;? And they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control their emotions any longer, either. An official overheard something he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like and called Troy for a technical foul, doubling the amount of attempts Butler would get from the line to win the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be able to control our emotions, no matter what,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no excuse for that.â&#x20AC;? Greer missed both of his free throws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which would have sent the game to a third overtime had the technical not been an

issue. But Miller wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking about what might have been. He was still firmly focused on the action on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just thinking that I hoped they missed two more,â&#x20AC;? he said. And Drees missed the first one, giving Troy a sliver of hope. The final one fell, though, leaving the Trojans shaking their heads and wringing their hands. After all, Troy (3-13, 34 GWOC North) had controlled most of regulation. After going 4 for 5 from 3point range in the second quarter, the Trojans built a 25-19 lead at the half, a lead that grew to as many as eight on two occasions. Butler took a brief onepoint lead at 31-30 in the third after another technical foul on Troy led to a five-point swing, but the Trojans answered that with a seven-point run capped off by a tough bucket inside by Tyler Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who had a double-double in the game with 10 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. The Aviators edged their way back into the game, though, eventually taking a 44-42 lead on a putback by Drew Makiewicz, but a pair of Cascaden (nine points) free throws tied the score and sent the game to its first overtime. From there, Butler made its living from the free throw line. The Aviators drove to the basket constantly but only

connected on one field goal, instead going 10 for 16 from the line in the two overtime periods combined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including 1 of 2 by Anthony Owens that tied things up at 50-50 after he drew a foul with four seconds left in the first overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got by us a couple times in the lane and compromised our defense, compromised us,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. Troy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was equally aggressive on the dribble through an Aviator defense that was equally physical when collapsing into the paint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; went 2 for 4 from the line after regulationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. Tre Hudson led all scorers with 17 points and added five rebounds, while Taren Kinnel hit a pair of 3s and added eight. Troy returns home Feb. 1 to face Trotwood. Hoping to keep any debate off the floor.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 with just over four minutes to play cut the Tipp lead to 47-43. But Ben Stucke assisted Michael Donahey for back-to-back layups to push Tippâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to eight. McFarland cut the deficit back to five points nearing the two-minute mark, but the Arrows had two crucial turnovers on consecutive possessions down the stretch and were forced to foul the rest of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tecumsehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-2 coming in,â&#x20AC;? Bixler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make a run. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too good, they shoot too many 3s not to make a run at you. We did a good job in the first half, I think we gave up one 3. All week long, we told our kids â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no 3s, no 3s, no 3s.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We were going to make them try to beat us one-on-one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a good job in the first half. When they made a run at us, we probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle it as good as we should have. We just kind of lost our composure a little bit, and probably gave up a few more 3s. We had them running. We had them out of their element a little bit in terms of full-court pressing and trapping. If we would have handled the ball a little better in the fourth quarter, the margin may have been a little more comfortable. But the guys played extremely well. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more proud of them.â&#x20AC;? Bixler may have been grinding his teeth after the first Tecumseh possession of the game. After a missed 3-point attempt, the Arrows collected an offensive rebound, then flipped the ball out to Dalton Davis, who drilled a triple

Tippecanoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Austin Hadden defends a Tecumseh player Friday at Tippecanoe High School. to give his team the early lead. But Tecumseh missed their next seven attempts from beyond the arc â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Tippecanoe took full advantage. Nick Fischer hit two 3s in the first quarter and Ben Hughes added one just before the final buzzer, following a big block by Ben Stucke on Tecumsehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer Gabe Winans-Berner. The Red Devils coasted into the second quarter with a 16-6 cushion. That Tipp lead grew even larger in the next frame as Ben Hughes and Donahey carried the load offensively, with each scoring four in the quarter. By halftime, Tipp had 11 bench points and a 27-14 lead. The Red Devils had nine different players score in the game. Donahey led the team with 14 points, six of which came in the final period. Fischer added 12, while Hughes came off the bench and scored eight. The win pulls Tippecanoe even with Tecumseh for second in the CBC Kenton Trail race, while Shawnee, which remained unbeaten in league play with a 67-53

victory over Stebbins Friday, remains on top of the standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope so (the league race comes down to Tipp and Shawnee),â&#x20AC;? Bixler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good all across the board. They defend well, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re physical, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a solid team.â&#x20AC;? Bixler and his team will get another shot at Shawnee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which won the first meeting 64-56 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on Feb. 8. Until then, however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about taking care of business in CBC play for the Red Devils. Up next, Tipp hosts Bellefontaine on Friday.

All-Star Irving leads Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kyrie Irving knows how to celebrate good news. A little over 24 hours after being selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star team in Houston, the Cavaliersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dynamic point guard put on a show. Irving scored 35 points and Cleveland rallied from a 20-point deficit in the third quarter to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 113-108 on Friday night. The reigning rookie of the year scored 24 points in the second half, including 16 in the third when the Cavaliers got back in the game. Irving added eight points in the final 4:01 as Cleveland posted back-toback wins for only the second time this season. Coming off a 40-point performance against Boston on Tuesday, Irving hit 12 of 17 from the field and made all nine of his free throws. He missed one shot in nine attempts in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last couple of games have been fun,â&#x20AC;? Irving said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even at practice, we just know when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be focused to dial it up and get that attitude.â&#x20AC;? Irving is also following instructions from Cavaliers coach Byron Scott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach told me to be aggressive and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to be aggressive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hell of a young player,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we drafted him we knew that. When we got him at practice we knew we had really struck gold because I

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was as good as he was until we had him in training camp. Then we were really excited. We said this kid is a lot better than we thought.â&#x20AC;? Cleveland, which trailed 79-59 midway through the third quarter, took a 96-95 lead on a 3-pointer by newly acquired Wayne Ellington with 6:31 to play. The basket was his first since joining the Cavaliers from Memphis on Tuesday, and it gave Cleveland the lead for good. Ersan Ilyasova scored a season-high 30 points and Monta Ellis added 21, but the Bucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; collapse ended their three-game winning streak. Even hitting a season-high 14 3-pointers in 28 attempts couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save Milwaukee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second, third and fourth quarters, we gave them 30-plus points,â&#x20AC;? Bucks interim coach Jim Boylan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They kind of had their way with us. They played well and deserved to win the game.â&#x20AC;? Following Ellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basket, a 3-pointer by Daniel Gibson, a breakaway layup by Shaun Livingston and a foul shot by Marreese Speights helped Cleveland build a 102-95 lead. Ellisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 3-pointer cut the margin to 102-98, but Irvingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basket gave Cleveland a six-point lead. Baskets by Brandon Jennings and Larry Sanders made it 104-102, but Speights, also acquired in the deal with Memphis,

hit a basket and a foul shot to put the Cavaliers ahead 107-102 with 1:06 remaining. Ilysaovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basket made it a three-point game, but Irving added a jumper and four free throws to put it away. Milwaukee, which led 59-50 at halftime, hit its first four shots of the third quarter, including another 3-pointer by Ilyasova and Jenningsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first basket of the game. That led to a quick timeout by Scott, but lead reached 79-59 midway through the period before the Cavaliers cut the margin to 90-81 by the end of the period thanks mostly to Irving, who hit 5 of 6 from the field. The Cavaliers trimmed the lead to 90-87 early in the fourth quarter and outscored the Bucks 32-18 in the period. Scott went with a combination of Luke Walton, Gibson, Livingston, Speights and Ellington for most of the quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty simple,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told my guys to thank the second unit. They won the game for us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started aggressively, but we kind of gave up the game,â&#x20AC;? Ilyasova said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their second unit hustled and we gave up a lot of easy buckets.â&#x20AC;? Tristan Thompson scored 18 points and Dion Waiters added 16 for the Cavaliers. Livingston scored 12 points. Speights had 10 points and had six rebounds in 18 minutes.
