Sandy victims still waiting for relief Devon Lawrence neatly stacked bricks on the gas burner of his kitchen stove and turned up the blue flame, creating a sort of radiator that warmed the ice-cold room. His two-story house in the Far Rockaway section of Queens hasn’t had working heat since Superstorm Sandy’s floodwaters destroyed the oil burner in the basement. Now mold is growing upstairs because the house has been cold and damp for so long. See Page 10.

Tipp City BOE OK’s levy for May ballot District partnering with Urbana

Junior High School A.D. Barb Roberts honored by peers BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Eighty five dogs — all waiting to be adopted — were removed Jan. 25 from a Tipp City woman’s home. The owner of a house on State Route 40 was listed as a “rescue,” meaning when stray dogs are found or shelters need help, a rescue is called to house the animal. A rescue is meant to be a foster parent until a permanent home is found for the dog. “At some point, you have to say no,” said Christine Herring of Miami County Animal Shelter. “It appears there was no turnaround.” The Tipp City homeowner was a contact for large breed dogs, so out of the 85 dogs, less than five were under 50 pounds. The animals were all housed on the first story of the house. Although they had been physically kept up and given the proper veterinary shots, the house was overrun. “The conditions were filthy,” Herring said. The dogs are now awaiting adoption in the Miami County Animal Shelter and a barn on the Miami County Fairgrounds. Herring said along with adopted owners, the shelter needs volunteers to help clean the barn on weekday mornings. To volunteer or adopt a dog, call (937) 332-6919 or visit the shelter at 1110 N. County Road 25-A in Troy.

Cause of fire found Staff Reports The Wilbur family was not home when a fire broke out just after noon Jan. 26 at their 3365 Eldean Road residence. The family dog was rescued. Troy Platoon Commander Scott Gheen said the fire was traced to a wood pellet stove that had been left on in the family room. “Basically it started as a chimney fire, and then that got it excessively hot, and the attic caught on fire,” Gheen said. Troy and Covington crews were called to the scene. Two firefighters were injured, one from a ceiling collapsing and another from falling downstairs. The fire caused an estimated $70,000 in damages. 2359696

City council committees individually recommended all three items at meetings Jan 28, with topics including amending the zoning code regarding temporary signs; clarifying legislation on water and sewer rates; and permitting a downtown loan of $35,910 to be applied toward a new pub at 109 E. Main St. The law and ordinance com-

mittee OK’d amendments to the zoning code, which are intended to make it consistent with the sign code. A new sub-section would clarify that window signs do not require a certificate, as long as they are no more than 4 square feet in size and are displayed for no more than 28 days in a calendar year. A public hearing for the topic was held at the Jan. 22 council meeting, where no

• CONTINUED FROM 1 you more.’ I have to live with knowing that I was the one you fooled and what horrible things you did to my innocent children.” Kolker asked Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Gee to show no sympathy for Gauldin and asked for 15 years to life, the harshest penalty allowed under state law. “I am going to miss out on her growing up, seeing her going to school, becoming a teenager, graduating and becoming a mom because of you,” she said. “That’s why I hope you stay in prison for the rest of your life. I don’t feel you have any rights to see your son do the things my daughter and I got taken away from us because of your selfish, sick-pleasured mind.” Gauldin did not look at Kolker once at the hearing and instead, with his hands shackled in front of him, stared straight ahead for the entire sentencing hearing. After announcing Gauldin’s prison sentence, Gee said he was attaching a picture of Malisa to each copy of the sentencing entry. “Because it is important that each and every time that parole board considers releasing you into civilized society they can look in to the eyes of the 4-year-old girl you brutally tortured and murdered.” On the night of April 12, Gauldin burnt the child with a lighter on repeated instances before slamming and throwing her against a wall several times to the horror of the child’s two siblings, a 7-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, who witnessed the attack and testified at the trial. Gauldin maintained Malisa fell down a staircase, a story both of the siblings also told police but later recanted the claim because Gauldin told both children he would kill them unless they lied to police, both children testified.

“

How could Travis Gauldin, a 22-year-old, grown man, hold her tiny, petite body in his hands and slam her into the wall three times and then carry her poor, lifeless body upstairs and lay her in bed? — Courtney DeLaSancha, victim’s aunt

”

The cause of Malisa’s death was ruled a homicide from multiple blunt force trauma to the head, neck and chest, and as a result she sustained a herniated brain stem, according to medical testimony. One medical expert classified the injuries the child sustained as “neurologically devastating” and “extensive.” First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Tony Kendell said he was very pleased with the outcome of the case and, in asking for the maximum sentence, said Gauldin did not show any remorse through or after the trial. “It really came home when I was listening to the jail tape … and he (Gauldin) made a comment about the coroner’s pictures, the autopsy pictures, and he said, ‘I don’t see what the big deal was, they weren’t that bad.’ That just shows me the extent of his lack of remorse.” In open court Kendell vowed to Gauldin and Malisa’s family that when Gauldin is up for parole he would be there.

“When and if he comes up for parole we’re going to be there to make sure he is not paroled,” Kendell said, “because, in my humble opinion, for the crime he committed he should never see the light of day again.” Steve King, who represented Gauldin in court, said there were no winners in the case. “We have a young 4year-old gone too soon, a mother and a father lost a child, and Travis has a little boy of his own who will grow up not knowing his father in any meaningful way,” King said. “Whatever happened on April 12 should not have happened.” Gauldin, who has spoken little during the proceedings, wrote a short letter for the court but did not read it aloud himself. King read it for him in court. “I did play a part in Malisa’s death,” Gauldin wrote and King read. “I am very sorry. I wish words could explain how truly sorry I am, but there is nothing I can say or do to bring her back. If I could do it all over again, I would do them differently.” Gee received a number of victim impact statements, but Kolker’s sister also read one in court before the sentence was imposed and asked the judge for the harshest prison term allowed. Courtney DeLaSancha, the victim’s aunt, described her playful niece as “loving” and “full of energy,” but then turned her attention on Gauldin, who she called “a sick monster” who “needs to be locked up like the dangerous animal that he is.” “This was over a blanket — a grown man kills a 4year-old baby over a blanket,” DeLaSancha said. “How could Travis Gauldin, a 22-year-old, grown man, hold her tiny, petite body in his hands and slam her into the wall three times and then carry her poor, lifeless body upstairs and lay her in bed? … Ask yourself, how can an adult man do this to a 4-year-old child. What kind of sick man could sit in this courtroom and look at pictures of Malisa’s abused, dead body and not show any remorse for what he has done?” Gauldin has the right to appeal his case within the next 30 days. He will first be up for parole in the year 2028 — the same year Malisa would have turned 19 years old.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 because she strongly believes the value of sports and its place in student life. “There are lifelong lesson to be learned with sports,” Roberts said. “There is a tremendous amount of discipline, hard work and pride that you will see form all the people involved here at Troy.” The award is presented to the middle school level athletic director and recognizes the service, leadership and involvement with interscholastic athletics at the local and district levels. “There’s a lot of multitasking involved,” Roberts said.”It’s a lot of work from a lot of different people and it’s an honor for me to accept this award on the behalf of everyone involved in athletics here at Troy Schools.” “If you don’t have someone to help, you’ll sink fast,” Roberts said of the support she receives from the district’s high school athletic director, Jeff Sakal. “He makes sure I’m successful and I feel as though I share this award with him.” Roberts has been a coach for more than 30 years in a variety of sports and said coaches do it for the love of their students, which is what she enjoys seeing in the background coordinating all the games and events for junior high students. “My parents are good parents, my coaches are good coaches, my people are good people and it makes my job

• CONTINUED FROM 1 what we have in, say a physics course, would match up likely with their 200-level physics course and that their course standards are within ours,” Kronour said. Besides the benefit of not having to leave the building, Kronour said that the education could be received at a reduced rate. “The difference in price is quite significant,” Kronour said. While a credit hour at Urbana University is around $445, a credit hour at Tipp through the university will be $75. “There is some cost to the parents, but again we feel like this is a great opportunity and one we want to get rolling,” Kronour said. Kronour said that the reason for choosing Urbana is because it’s not mutually exclusive, which means the school will have the freedom

easy,” she said. “From the moment you enter the door, you are greeted by our smiling ticket takers, you will notice the wonderful care of our facilities, and you will feel the respect by our coaches, student-athletes and fans.” Roberts said the “pat on the back” by the SWOADA organization is reassurance that time spent away from her husband Jeff and two sons, Alex and Jacob, is well worth the time and hours spent behind the desk and in the gyms. “Without my family support, it wouldn’t work,” she said.” I have time away from my family but luckily, I have an understanding husband who encourages me to strive for what I really feel is important to me.” Roberts said it’s hard to find someone who has spent 24 years in a career and still loves it, but she continues to enjoy each day she spends at Troy Junior High School. “Each day I come to work and I am willing to give 110 percent to my job because the people of Troy deserve it,” she said. “Being surrounded by people who are willing to step in and help out makes all the difference.” And the difference is Roberts is willing to step in and lead the way to make the different in young athletes lives.

Township building to become polling place President receives service award For the Troy Daily News A building use agreement for the Monroe Township Maintenance Facility on Michaels Road with Miami County Board of Elections was passed by the Monroe Township Trustees at their board meeting Jan. 22. For 2013, the board of elections will be using the facility as a polling place on the primary election date, May 7, and the general election date Nov. 5, during the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Reminders were made to the trustees and fiscal officer of the 2013 Ohio Township Association Winter Conference dates, which this year will be Jan. 30 and 31 and Feb. 1 in Columbus. In communication with Tipp City Fire Chief Steve Kessler, it was noted the

MONROE TOWNSHIP new Tipp City ladder fire truck has arrived, and an extended contract with Dayton Hazmat Team is up for consideration in March. Special notations made at the board meeting included township president Ron Thuma being presented a Public Service Award by Masonic Lodge No. 174 on Jan. 11; and the passing, and funeral arrangements this past week of longtime township resident Nelson C. Borchers who it was stated throughout his life “helped with township projects and donated 10 acres to the township.” The 10 acres has since been developed into the Nelson C. and Betty D. Borchers Nature Preserve.

Maintenance and office staff has been overly busy in January thus far with burial needs at the township’s Maple Hill Cemetery. Instead of normally averaging six burials per month, there have been six burials per week in the first half of January. The maintenance staff also has been making repairs to sod along township roads nicked during December snowplowing efforts, and hauling in road salt for anticipated needs in the next couple months. Another topic discussed at the meeting included impact of the Downtown Utility Replacement and Streetscape programs from March-October 2013. Bills paid at the January meeting equaled $29,228.27. The next township trustees meeting will be at 7 pm. Feb. 4.

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

ANALYSIS

Weak House GOP seeks leverage against Obama WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) — Celebration doesn’t seem to be high on the agenda as House Republicans, their majority renewed by the voters last fall, lay the groundwork for another challenge to President Barack Obama over federal spending. And no wonder. Their annual retreat this past week in Williamsburg had scarcely begun when they were told that disapproval ratings for Republicans in Congress had climbed to 64 percent in a poll completed a few days earlier. Only 27 percent of the public viewed them favorably in the survey, taken by David Winston, a respected Republican pollster. A previous sounding by Winston at the very end of 2012 wasn’t much better. At the height of the controversy over the “fiscal cliff,” the most recent clash with Obama, 49 percent of those surveyed said negotiations on the issue were difficult because the tea party-heavy GOP opposed the president out of political motives. While the public strongly favors reductions in spending, only 42 percent said Republicans were acting out of a desire to implement cuts and deal with a debt crisis the reason party officials and lawmakers themselves repeated tirelessly. The coming confrontation will occur over the debt limit. As Republicans left one type of retreat, they began another, scrapping the brave talk reminiscent of their heady days from 2011 when they threatened to send the government into an unprecedented default in hopes it would force the White House and congressional Democrats into cutting spending. “No budget, no pay,” is their newly unveiled slogan. That means they are willing to let the Treasury borrow money for an additional three months without demanding cuts in exchange. Instead, members of Congress would have their pay withheld if the house they serve in, either the House or the Senate, failed to pass a budget within 90 days that included spending reductions. That’s aimed squarely at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn’t approved a budget in four years. “This is the first step to get on the right track, reduce our deficit and get focused on creating better living conditions for our families and children. It’s time to come together and get to work,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia said in a statement issued as the rank and file headed back to Washington. Republicans had additional objectives. Congress and the administration face three deadlines in the coming months, and Republicans want to rearrange the order in which they occur. The debt limit presumably will need to be raised first. On March 1, across-the-board spending cuts are scheduled to kick in at the Pentagon and other federal agencies. On March 27, funding expires for most of the government, and a partial shutdown will occur unless it is renewed. Several Republican officials say the party’s objective was to increase their leverage for negotiations with the White House and congressional Democrats by finessing a crisis over the debt limit, at least for the time being. Nor did Republicans attempt to hide their political motivations. Within minutes of the end of the three-day retreat, the party’s campaign committee announced an online petition drive “to tell Senate Democrats, if you don’t pass a budget, you won’t get paid.” Left unsaid was that Republicans had quietly bowed, at least temporarily, to Obama’s insistence that they raise the borrowing limit without spending cuts in return. “They will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy,” the president said of Republicans a few days earlier. “What I will not do is to have that negotiation with a gun at the head of the American people.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Japan Times, Tokyo, on the Islamic insurgency in Mali: French President Francois Hollande has sent French forces to stop an Islamic insurgency from taking over the West African nation of Mali. It is a bold step for Hollande, who faces rising discontent at home as well as fear that the intervention could become a quagmire. Blowback has already become evident in the attempted takeover of an Algerian natural gas facility by Islamic sympathizers. Hollande must have thought that the danger of inaction was more compelling and that failure to stop the insurgents could produce another Afghanistan, a base for radical forces, this time in Africa.

While world attention has focused on the northern-most states of Africa as they struggle with the forces unleashed by the Arab Spring, politics to the south has been equally confused. There is a very real fear that an insurgent victory in Mali could lead to another militant Islamic state and sanctuary for radical forces to launch attacks on “enemies of Islam,” especially in Europe. The problem is that, as in Afghanistan, the Malian government is weak and divided. While the public in the south has little if any sympathy for the insurgents, they have little confidence in their own government. A military coup a year ago undermined the legitimacy of the government in Bamako and divided

the army. Hollande’s intervention risks bogging down if the Malians cannot unite to fight off this threat. The proper approach would have the French scale back their presence as African forces step up. If not Malian, then those of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), a 15-country group led by Nigeria, will do. … The Islamists reportedly number just 2,000; depriving them of their local support would further isolate a small group that seeks to impose its harsh version of Islam on the entire country. As always, outside forces like Hollande’s can help, but the real work must be done by the Malians themselves.

DOONESBURY

Fulfilling the goal of 52 books in 52 weeks At the start of January, I basically stole my friend’s New Year’s resolution, which she proclaimed online: to read 52 books in 52 weeks. Reading is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time, but I often find myself stockpiling books, intending to read a chapter a night, but life always gets in the way. As my editor Melody said, “I love to read. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.” She has the excuse of a busy home life, but I can’t really say the same for myself. At all. I just find myself flipping through gossip magazines, trolling through Slate and the Huffington Post, or going out with friends instead of allotting a few moments to soak up a good read. So after I saw my friend post about her new goal, I felt a pang of jealousy. Why shouldn’t I try to be all smart and literate? But, much more importantly, why wouldn’t I want to be entertained, learn new things, or have worldly experiences merely by flipping through the pages of a novel or memoir? There’s something magical about com-

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist ing away from a book with newfound knowledge. I’m lucky in that I count several English and journalism majors amongst my closest friends, so we like to trade books quite a bit. Last year, “Gone Girl,” “The Glass Castle” and “Half the Sky” were our favorites. They’re books that really make you think — ones you truly can’t put down. I know that phrase is thrown around a lot, but it’s actually true in this case. For a good laugh, I highly recommend Tina Fey’s “Bossypants” and Mindy Kaling’s “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?” I promise, even if you don’t like to read, these will have you LOLing.

Literally. It’s kind of like the present-day “The Catcher in the Rye”… except, well, very different. They’re not novels but memoirs. Speaking of “The Catcher in the Rye,” my friend gave me J.D. Salinger’s “Franny and Zooey” to read, which consists of a short story and novella. When you’re trying to meet a set number of books, it definitely helps to throw in a few short ones. To start off this year, I’ve read the Nicholas Sparks’ book “The Best of Me,” which — in the author’s signature style — will make your heart ache. This must be why his books make such fantastic movies, as well. I’m willing to bet at least 90 percent of the population has seen “The Notebook,” and the remaining 10 percent just hates movies or something. I’m currently reading “Cold Tangerines” by Shauna Niequist, a collection of inspirational stories about living for the everyday moments rather than dwelling on the past or pining for the future. Such a topic could easily lend itself to cheesiness and sappi-

ness, but I think this piece is genuinely insightful and descriptive. To quell my interest in psychology, I’m also reading “The Male Brain” by Louann Brizendine, after I thoroughly enjoyed the accompanying book “The Female Brain.” The titles are self-explanatory — the books explore differences in brain activity and behavior, shedding light on what are indeed biological differences and what are social constructs. While I have a decent start on my resolution, I still have a long way to go — and thankfully, a long list of books to carry me through. I still need to read “Cane River” by Lalita Tademy, “Sarah’s Key” by Tatiana de Rosnay and “The Silver Linings Playbook” (a fantastic movie, for the record) by Matthew Quick — and many, many more. I suppose the sheer number of books I want to read is giving me all the motivation I need to keep on reading.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Borislav Milosevic, the brother of late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, has died aged 79. Milosevic, who was the Yugoslav ambassador in Russia while his brother was in power during the 1990s, died of heart-related problems Tuesday at a Belgrade hospital, the Socialist Party said. He was a supporter of his brother’s hardline policies, and a staunch critic of the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, which tried Slobodan on genocide charges stemming from the Balkan wars of the 1990s. When Slobodan was handed over to the court in 2001 by a democratic government, Borislav Milosevic blasted the arrest as “kidnapping” and said the Hague tribunal was illegal.

Cowboys in Ohio You might be thinking from the title that this article is about two famous movie cowboys from Ohio—Hopalong Cassidy (also known as William Lawrence Boyd from Cambridge), and Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye of Ducks Run, near Portsmouth) But it’s not. Ohio has real, honest-to-goodness cowboys who work for the Dickinson Cattle Company, the largest cattle ranch east of the Mississippi River. You can see the company’s steers with their six-foot-long horns grazing alongside Interstate 70. The company is based on reclaimed mining land in the Muskrat Valley area of Belmont County, where it raises Texas Longhorn, Dutch BueLingo and African Watusi cattle. Darol Dickinson was a Colorado rancher facing big problems during the drought of 1993. The grass in his pastures was gone and hay was expensive, if he could get it. Then he met Bill Farson, a visiting Ohio beef farmer, who showed him pictures of his cattle in waist-high grass in Ohio’s Appalachian foothills. His interest piqued, Dickinson and his family visited the area and discovered a great place to raise longhorn cattle that was also close to interstate highways. He leased land and soon moved 1,400 Texas longhorn cattle and exotic Watusi steers to the 2-mile-by-4-mile ranch. The exotic—by Ohio standards—cattle and the cowboys with their ten-gallon hats and cowboy boots caused quite a stir in the area. There was so much interest that ranch work wasn’t getting completed; too many people were stopping by to view a real working ranch. So the working ranch became a tourist attraction. In the summer months, purple and white school buses with local guides offer visitors a 75-minute escorted tour. One stop includes a lake where guests may feed huge fish, visit a pheasant aviary and see an educational historical narrative about raising cattle, conservation, and modern ranch practices.

What animals would you expect to see on an Ohio farm? 2. You can see cattle and dairy cows at county fairs. What breeds are most commonly shown there? How do the breeds that are raised on the Dickinson differ from the ones you usually see? 3. If you were to visit the Dickinson Cattle Company, what would you expect to see?

Consider counseling together before you tie the knot

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Community Calendar 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Legislative Update

Dear Annie: I've been with a wonderful guy for five years. After two abusive marriages, I am finally being treated right. "Bud" and I have only two issues: money and kids. We have broken up a few times over our problems, but honestly, I can't live without him. Bud is 44 years old and owns his own business, but he does not save money. When I met him, he had nothing. Now he has $20,000 in a retirement account and another $5,000 in savings. He finally has his two kids pretty well straightened out, although they will never be exactly normal. Bud still doesn't manage his money well. He needs so many things in his house, yet he went out and bought a truck he doesn't need. He now has six years of payments on it, his auto insurance went up, and if he ever needs new tires, we are talking thousands of dollars. I want him to sell it and get a reasonably priced truck. He says he will lose money on the sale, which is true, but why sink even more into it? Both of my marriages involved men who overspent on themselves, so I know I have a tendency to be extra cautious. How can I convince Bud that he did the wrong thing by buying the truck, but that he still has time to fix it? I won't marry a man I can't trust with my money. Not again. — Thrice Shy Dear Thrice: You can't treat Bud like a child, even if he makes poor financial decisions. He will resent it and push back. Instead, approach all such matters jointly, being respectful of each other's opinions, even when you disagree. You also could offer to take over the handling of finances for the household, keeping everyone within a reasonable budget. But you are wise not to commingle your money if you don't trust Bud's ability to handle it. Before marrying, consider financial counseling together through your bank or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org). Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married 27 years. We each have grown children from previous marriages. My husband's 42-year-old unmarried son lives out of state. "Mike" is self-supporting, but the only time we hear from him is when he needs some extra money. He lives alone except for his dogs. For the past three years, Mike has spent Christmas with us, staying three or four days. We are always happy to see him, even though we only have two bedrooms and he brings the dogs — even one who is incontinent. Last year, my daughter (who also lives out of state) visited with her two children. We hadn't seen her in two years. My husband also was scheduled for knee replacement surgery the following week. So when Mike asked to come with his dogs and a new puppy, we explained that it wasn't a good time. We asked him to come in February or March, while his father recuperated — and hopefully, the puppy would be housebroken. We have not heard from him since, even though I have left numerous messages on his voicemail. What more can I do to mend this fragile relationship? — In the Middle Dear Middle: Not much. You have explained, and you have called. We trust you will keep all of the kids informed of Dad's progress, including Mike. But it is up to him to make the next move. We suspect when he needs money, he will get in touch again. Dear Annie: Most women who responded to "Your Husband" do not understand men very well. Without sex, men feel incomplete. It's part of how we feel loved. Women should realize how important sex is to a man simply by seeing that he is willing to risk everything — his wife, family and assets — to fill this void. — Feeling the Void in Indiana Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Reader shares hint for finding gluten-free food Dear Heloise: I must go on a gluten-free diet. It’s crazy how many foods I can’t have anymore if I want to feel good. My friend told me that most grocery stores now have gluten-free aisles. I called stores in my area and found only one, but many stores have a list that you can ask for to let you know what gluten-free foods they carry. — Linda in California Linda, you are right — there does seem to be an increase in people requiring gluten-free foods. Several stores in Texas do not have lists available in the stores, but a list of gluten-free

Hints from Heloise Columnist products is posted on the stores’ websites. Many stores are starting to have a section or aisles for gluten-free foods, so shop around, because there are more gluten-free products available daily! — Heloise OUT OF DATE? Dear Heloise: How long is

canned food good to use after the “USE BY” date printed on the can? I just threw out more than 20 cans and now wonder if it was necessary. — Margie F. in Oregon It may not have been necessary! If the cans are in good condition and have been stored properly (in a cool, dry, dark place), then the food should be safe to eat after the date passes. However, taste and texture of foods can change over time. Make sure the cans do not have any bulging, leakage or dents before eating the contents. — Heloise

SAVING INFORMATION Dear Heloise: My granddaughter has type 1 diabetes. I save side and front panels of her favorite packaged foods (brownie mixes, macaroni and cheese, cereal, etc.). These are a source of information on single-serving sizes and carbohydrates. These can be saved in clear plastic sleeves in a three-ring binder. — Carol R., via email This is a really good hint not only for someone with diabetes, but also anyone with a food allergy or on a special diet. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be excited to meet someone today, especially a partner or close friend. (Something’s up.) Because you are so emotionally excited, avoid important decisions today. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today by computer crashes, power outages, staff shortages or something unusual concerning a female employee. Tread carefully. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children or children in your care, so be extra vigilant. Social and sports plans could be interrupted or canceled. Stay alert. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Small appliances might break down, or minor breakages could occur at home today because your daily routine will be interrupted or changed in some way. Be patient with family members, especially female relatives. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, especially early in the day, so keep your eyes peeled. Pay attention to everything you say and do. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might find money today; you might lose money. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. However, unusual opportunities to earn money might present themselves. Who knows? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You definitely are looking for excitement and stimulation today. This is why you will seek out people who are different. You also will avoid anyone who tries to restrict you or hold you back. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a restless day for you, and most likely you will notice this at work. However, work-related interruptions are par for the course today. Allow extra time for everything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A discussion with a female acquaintance, especially in a group situation, suddenly might change events. It might even cause you to change your future goals. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something sudden and unusual will occur that allows others to learn information about your private life. Just be aware of this, and stay on your toes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be changed, canceled or delayed today. On the other hand, you might be equally excited about travel. It’s a day full of surprises. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Unexpected events might change your relationship with shared property or something having to do with your partner’s wealth. (This could be good news or bad news.) YOU BORN TODAY You are easily admired. This is fortunate, because you like to be seen and heard. You welcome the spotlight, even if it’s a tiny one, because you like to be appreciated and understood. You’re entertaining, which at times makes some think you are superficial. Not so! You’re thoughtfully philosophical in private. In the year ahead, close friendships and partnerships will be your primary focus. Birthdate of: Kerry Washington, actress; Portia de Rossi, actress; Jackie Robinson, baseball player. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Waiting for the heat to come on, for insurance money to come through, for loans to be approved. Waiting, in a broader sense,

NEW YORK (AP) — Devon Lawrence neatly stacked bricks on the gas burner of his kitchen stove and turned up the blue flame, creating a sort of radiator that warmed the ice-cold room. His two-story house in the Far Rockaway section of Queens hasn’t had working heat since Superstorm Sandy’s floodwaters destroyed the oil burner in the basement. Now mold is growing upstairs because the house has been cold and damp for so long. Lawrence wakes early

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, Jan. 30, the 30th day of 2013. There are 335 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany. The first episode of the “Lone Ranger” radio program was broadcast on station WXYZ in Detroit. On this date: • In 1862, the ironclad USS Monitor was launched from the Continental Iron Works in Greenpoint, N.Y., during the Civil War. • In 1948, Indian political and spiritual leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, 78, was shot and killed in New Delhi by

Nathuram Godse, a Hindu extremist. In 1962, two members of “The Flying Wallendas” high-wire act were killed when their seven-person pyramid collapsed during a performance at the State Fair Coliseum in Detroit. • In 1972, 13 Roman Catholic civil rights marchers were shot to death by British soldiers in Northern Ireland on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.” • In 1973, the rock group KISS performed its first show at a club in Queens, N.Y. • One year ago: All European Union countries except Britain and the Czech Republic agreed to sign a new

for their upended lives to get back to normal. While Congress passed a $50.5 billion emergency aid package on Monday, many say the rebuilding has been complicated over the past several weeks by bureaucracy. Some people are still living in mold-infested homes, while others are desperately trying to persuade the city to tear theirs down. Illegal immigrants who don’t qualify for federal aid are struggling to scrape by. Small businesses are shutting down in neighborhoods where nobody seems to shop anymore. Federal officials say they understand the frustration and are working as quickly

as possible to compensate people for their losses and rebuild. “The infrastructure and the homes that were in place that Sandy took away took a lot longer than 90 days to be built up and put into place,” said Michael Byrne, who is overseeing the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Sandy response in New York state. “If there’s any assurances I can give folks that feel that way, we’re not leaving until we get it done.” The Oct. 29 storm damaged or destroyed 305,000 housing units and disrupted more than 265,000 businesses in New York state. About 14,000 housing units have

treaty designed to stop overspending in the eurozone and put an end to the bloc’s crippling debt crisis. A reactor at a northern Illinois nuclear plant shut down after an electrical insulator failed (the Unit 2 reactor at the Byron Generating Station resumed operating a week later). • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Gene Hackman is 83. Actress Tammy Grimes is 79. Actress Vanessa Redgrave is 76. Country singer Norma Jean is 75. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is 72. Singer Phil Collins is 62. Actor Charles S. Dutton is 62.

been repaired so far through New York City’s Rapid Repairs program. In New Jersey, 346,000 housing units were destroyed or damaged, and 190,000 businesses affected. Nearly 18,000 households have received aid for repairs from FEMA. “This is a war zone down here still,” said Donna Graziano, who has been running a 24-hour relief hub near the beach on Staten Island in a tiny white tent heated by a generator. “This looks no better than it did three months ago.” On a recent snowy evening, at least a dozen people huddled over plates of food in Graziano’s tent, which has become a gathering place where displaced residents can exchange greetings and get daily updates. “This is three months now. And we’re still fighting,” said Nicole Chati, who is waging a battle to convince the city that her flooddamaged home must be torn down. “And we’re still filling out more paperwork. And we’re still cutting more red tape.” Chati said two contractors have advised her that it would be safer to demolish the home rather than try to salvage what’s left of it. But the city’s Buildings Department disagreed.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Salazar leads TC comeback

• Girls Basketball Troy Christian 55, Xenia Christian 49 XENIA — Troy Christian knocked off one of the two other teams tied for the lead in the Metro Buckeye Conference Monday, setting up a potential outright league title showdown in the regular season’s final two games. The Eagles (15-3, 8-1) kept the Ambassadors’ biggest weapon in check and Lydia Demmitt did the rest, leading Troy Christian to a 55-49 victory. “We held the league’s leading scorer, Michelle Nelson, to seven points,” Troy Christian coach Dick Steineman said. “Lydia had a monster game, and both Jordane Varvel and Meredith Haddad came off the bench and played great defense to spark us.” Demmitt led all scorers with 22 points and added 13 rebounds and six steals. Sarah Campbell added 12 points and Amanda Slone chipped in eight. The win leaves the Eagles tied with Yellow Springs — the only MBC team to defeat Troy Christian this season — for the league lead. They host Yellow Springs on Feb. 8 and Xenia Christian Feb. 11, two games that will decide the league champion. Before that, though, Troy Christian begins its season-ending four-game homestand against Lehman Thursday.

MIAMI COUNTY Salazar grabbed 20 rebounds — setting the school’s singlegame record — and tied a career high with 23 points, helping the Eagles battle back from a disappointing first half on the road and win 57-45 at Xenia Christian. “He really answered the bell on that one,” Zawadzki said, referring to the single-game challenge. “He was just a man tonight. He just took over the game. He was not going to let us lose this game.” Troy Christian (14-2, 8-0 Metro Buckeye Conference) trailed 18-16 at the half after a four-point performance in the

Lewis avoids topic of PEDs on media day Of all the topics Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis wanted to talk about at Super Bowl media day, deer-antler spray probably was not on the list. He declined to directly address in any detail Tuesday questions about a Sports Illustrated report that he sought help from a company that makes the unorthodox product to speed up his recovery from a torn right triceps. Lewis was the NFL’s leading tackler in the playoffs after missing 10 regular-season games with the injury. See Page 16.

Ohio State’s Deshaun Thomas, right, shoots over Wisconsin’s Ryan Evans during the second half Tuesday in Columbus. Ohio State defeated Wisconsin 58-49.

Thomas takes over Leads No. 11 Buckeyes past Badgers, 58-49 COLUMBUS (AP) — In the middle of the hand-to-hand combat that is a typical WisconsinOhio State game, Deshaun Thomas took over. The junior scored 25 points, including 10 during a gamebreaking, 15-point second-half run, to lead the 11th-ranked Buckeyes past the Badgers 58-49 on Tuesday night. “That’s easily the best player we’ve played because of how he can get his own shots,” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. “Thomas is good. He was tough on the twopoint jump shots real tough and around the basket. He can attack. He’s so strong.” The 6-foot-7 junior, averaging 20 points a game, hit 10 of 17 attempts from the field including a variety of step-back jumpers, slashes through the lane and

shots he muscled over defenders. He also had four assists in what coach Thad Matta called his finest game with the Buckeyes. “Without a doubt, this is probably right there at the top just because of his overall effectiveness,” Matta said. “He was also very good defensively as well.” Wisconsin had controlled the tempo with deliberate passing, finding the open man, and making 11 of 28 3-point attempts. With Ohio State (16-4, 6-2 Big Ten) trailing 41-39 with 11:26 left, Thomas took over. Thomas’ fake and 10-foot jumper over Ryan Evans tied it at 41, with Thomas then giving the Buckeyes the lead on a drive through the lane and finger roll after Evans had been called for a charge at the other end. It didn’t stop there, as the

Buckeyes’ defense stepped up the pressure to force bad shots while the offense started clicking. During the 15-0 run that went from the 13:01 mark to under 6 minutes left, the Badgers were 0 for 7 from the field with three turnovers as everything went Ohio State’s way. Thomas hit another basket, this time on a drive, before LaQuinton Ross popped in a 3 from the left wing. Thomas then took a pass from Shannon Scott on the fast break and cut in for a layup. While Wisconsin continued to misfire at the other end, Thomas then jousted with Evans, forcing him to step back before hitting a soft, fall-away 16-footer to push the lead to 5241 and bringing a crowd of 16,911 to its feet.

BY JIM LITKE AP Sports Columnist Super Bowl week is beginning to resemble one of those family reunions where your crazy uncle says something outrageous, but just true enough to spark a discussion worth having. Two years ago, it was Steelers linebacker James Harrison ripping the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell for excessive fines on the violent hits that were his specialty, and generally trying to make the game too safe. “We’ll lay a pillow down where I’m going to tackle them,” he said mockingly at one point, “so they don’t hit the ground too hard, Mr. Goodell.” This time around, the provocateur was Bernard Pollard, the Ravens’ notoriously punishing safety. Covering much of the same ground Harrison had, Pollard said he didn’t think the NFL would be around in 30 years because rule changes designed to make it even safer would eventually drive away fans if something tragic didn’t hasten the game’s end even sooner. “The only thing I’m waiting

Cavs’ streak ends Warriors end Cleveland’s roll at 3 CLEVELAND (AP) — Klay Thompson scored a career-high 32 points and the short-handed Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-95 on Tuesday night. The Warriors were missing three starters guard Stephen Curry (ankle), center Andrew Bogut (ankle) and forward Harrison Barnes (knee). Also, Carl Landry, one of the first players off Golden State’s bench, didn’t play because of a shoulder injury. Golden State, playing the finale of a four-game road trip, didn’t miss a beat. The Warriors shot 54 percent and made 11 of 16 of their 3-point attempts, including their first nine from beyond the arc. Golden State took control in the second quarter and built a

16-point lead in the second half. Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving, who missed the morning shootaround because he was sick, scored 14 points on 5-for-17 shooting in 36 minutes. Irving was coming off the best week of his career when he averaged a league-best 35.7 points in three wins, was selected as a reserve to the Eastern Conference All-Star team, and was named the conference’s player of the week on Monday. Tristan Thompson had 18 points and 11 rebounds for Cleveland, and Dion Waiters also scored 18 points.

■ Commentary

Safer ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 for … and, Lord, I hope it doesn’t happen … is a guy dying on the field,” Pollard told CBSSports.com. It may be easy to dismiss a handful of players’ exaggerated views, but the notion that the NFL is in real trouble as well as football at every level from Pop Warner up isn’t as hard a sell as it seems. Sure, the game has never been more popular. The league is taking in nearly $10 billion annually, breaking its own record TV telecasts almost on a weekly basis, and could repeat the feat again Sunday in New Orleans, when the 49ers tee it up against the Ravens. But just a few weeks later, arguments are scheduled to begin in Philadelphia in one lawsuit brought on behalf of former players and their families contending that the league failed to warn them about the dangers of concussions and then concealed those risks even in the face of mounting evidence. And that’s just one of several pending legal actions piling up outside Goodell’s office door. Yet even all those lawsuits combined may not represent the most serious threat to the NFL’s existence long term. President Obama tackled that issue in a recent interview with The New Republic, saying that he anticipated the less exciting pro game that guys like Harrison and Pollard envisioned as safety concerns change the way it’s played. What really worried him, though, was whether those changes at the top would filter down to the lower levels of the sport soon enough. “I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football,” Obama said. Don’t expect action from the NCAA anytime soon, but the NFL and its players’ union may not have the luxury of time. A quick sampling of comments during media day showed many players still favor the status quo, risks and all. “That’s what we all know coming into the game,” 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith said. “We all signed up for it. It’s not like we signed up and thought we were going to play tennis, you know?” His coach, one-time NFL quarterback Jim Harbaugh, took that cavalier attitude a step further, when asked to respond to the president’s remarks. “Well, I have a 4-monthold almost, soon-to-be 5month-old son, Jack Harbaugh, and if President Obama feels that way, then (there will) be a little less competition for Jack Harbaugh when he gets older,” Harbaugh chuckled. “That’s the first thing that jumps into my mind, if other parents are thinking that way.” Keep in mind that the NFL’s nightmare scenario played out on a football field an hour from Boston only a few months ago. In a Pop Warner game between longtime rivals, five kids between the ages of 10 and 12 were concussed, all on the losing team, three in the first quarter and the last one on the final play. Not everyone is convinced there’s enough time to wait for Goodell and the union to sort out the legal battles and work together to advance the safety issue. “I think it’s being taken seriously, but as far as young people starting to play, we need better and smarter instruction than ever before,” said former Saints quarterback Archie Manning, who’s enlisted his famous sons, Peyton and Eli, to help run his annual quarterbacking camp. “We’ve got to bring some attention to bear right away, especially how we teach tackling and the rest of the physical components of the game. “You only get so many chances — and we’ve let a lot slip past. We can’t afford too many more misses,” he said finally, “We’ve got to get it right.” Jim Litke is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.

downside of a career that actually seemed over a year ago. After bouncing around to three different teams in 2010, he didn’t play at all last season. But, he wasn’t ready to walk away from the sport just yet and San Francisco gave him a chance to come back for another shot at the ring. There was one big caveat: Moss would no longer be the center of the offense.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis speaks during media day for Super Bowl XLVII Tuesday in New Orleans.

No ‘stupidity’ on media day Lewis avoids talk of report on deer spray NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Of all the topics Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis wanted to talk about at Super Bowl media day, deer-antler spray probably was not on the list. He declined to directly address in any detail Tuesday questions about a Sports Illustrated report that he sought help from a company that makes the unorthodox product to speed up his recovery from a torn right triceps. Lewis was the NFL’s leading tackler in the playoffs after missing 10 regular-season games with the injury. The company, Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS), says its deer-antler substance contains a banned performance-enhancer connected to human growth hormone. The 37-year-old Lewis, who has announced he will retire after playing against the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s Super Bowl, dismissed the report as “stupidity.” Sport Illustrated reported that SWATS owner Mitch Ross recorded a call with Lewis hours after the

player hurt his arm in an October game against Dallas. According to the report, Lewis asked Ross to send him deer-antler spray and pills, along with other products made by the company. The magazine also said that when it spoke to Lewis for its story, he acknowledged asking Ross for “some more of the regular stuff” on the night of the injury and that he has been associated with the company “for a couple years through Hue Jackson.” Jackson is a former Ravens quarterbacks coach — and later head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Two years ago he stopped endorsing SWATS because his ties to the company violated NFL rules. “That was a 2-year-old story that you want me to refresh … so I won’t even speak about it,” Lewis said Tuesday. “Because I’ve been in this business 17 years, and nobody has ever got up with me every morning and trained with me. Every test I’ve ever took in the NFL — there’s never been a question of if I ever even thought about using

anything. So to even entertain stupidity like that. …” The NFL didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, and NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah declined comment. “The team knew about this report. Ray denies taking anything and has always passed tests,” Ravens spokesman Kevin Byrne said. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said he found out about the SI story during the team’s bus ride to the Superdome for media day. “I have not talked to Ray about that personally,” Harbaugh said. “What I do know about that is Ray has worked incredibly and extremely hard to get back, so I hate to see anything diminish the work ethic that he’s put in to get to where he is right now. And my understanding is Ray has passed every random, you know, substance test that he’s taken throughout the course of his whole career. So there’s never been a test that’s shown up anything along those lines.”

All in all, the topic only added to what already was a week filled with plot lines connected to Lewis. There is the largely rehabilitated image of a man who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in connection with a double murder after a Super Bowl party at an Atlanta nightclub in 2000. There is the impending retirement, a self-titled “last ride” for a player widely considered one of the top defenders in NFL history and the Super Bowl MVP in 2001. And there is his recovery from what was originally thought to be a season-ending injury. “When I tore my tricep, the doctor looked at me after I went in the office and she told me that I was out for the year. And I said, ‘Doc, are you sure?’ I said, ‘Nah.’ I said, ‘Doc, there’s no way I’m going to be out for the year with just a torn tricep,’ ” Lewis said with a laugh Tuesday. “I said, ‘I’ve been through way worse.’ She was like, ‘Ray, nobody’s never come back from this.’ “I said, ‘Well, nobody’s ever been Ray Lewis, either.’ ”

BEREA (AP) — Ray Horton doesn’t believe his skin color played any role in him not being hired as an NFL head coach. It just wasn’t his time. Introduced as Cleveland’s new defensive coordinator on Tuesday, Horton said while he’s “disappointed” that he didn’t get a head coaching job after interviewing with several teams, he’s grateful to have gone through the process and feels the league’s Rooney Rule to promote minorities works despite contrary statistics. Minority candidates were shut out of 15 coaching and top front-office jobs this offseason, a troubling disparity that led to criticism of the NFL’s hiring practices. There are only four minority head coaches going into the 2013 season, the fewest since 2003, when the Rooney Rule was implemented. Horton, however, feels he wasn’t bypassed because he’s African-American or because wears his hair in tight braids. There’s no doubt he’s got the credentials. “I believe every NFL team owner is trying to get the best coach for their team,” he said. “I don’t think anybody goes into it thinking, ‘I’m going to hire this guy because of ‘X’ reason other than he’s going to lead the team to victories. So from that standpoint, I respect the process.” • Bengals’ RB Coach Retires CINCINNATI — Jim Anderson has retired after spending the last 29 years as Cincinnati’s running backs coach, the longest tenure of any Bengals coach. Anderson joined the team in 1984 after coaching at various colleges. He worked under five Bengals head coaches Sam Wyche, Dave Shula, Bruce Coslet, Dick LeBeau and Marvin Lewis. Anderson said on Tuesday that he loves coaching, but it’s time for a new challenge. His streak of 29 years with one team was the longest in the NFL for any position coach.

Trojans split Step forward for Woods TROY

Troy split with visiting Graham on Tuesday at Troy Bowl. While the Troy boys coasted to a comfortable win over the Falcons 2,290-1,878, the Troy girls struggled in a 2,078-1,964 loss. The Trojan boys (12-2) shot team games of 999928 as all Trojan bowlers were able to enter the action. A.J. Bigelow rolled a 280 game after a first-game 214 to end with a matchhigh 494 series. Andrew Spencer shot a 248 in his only game of bowling and Cameron Hughes added a 204. The Trojan girls (7-7) struggled mightily and dug themselves a 136-pin hole after one game of bowling. The deficit was just too big to overcome as Troy chipped away at the lead, but did not seriously threaten the Falcons. Courtney Metzger shot a 210 game and 376 series to lead Troy. Rahney Schmitz

turned in her best game of the season, coming off the bench to roll a 196 game. Allie Isner contributed a 189. Troy travels to Piqua on Friday to resume GWOC North play at Brel-Aire Lanes.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods hates the question, even though the answer should be simple enough. Is he back? Woods was asked that when he ended his 749-day drought by winning his World Challenge at the end of 2011. The question came up in various forms last year after each of his wins at Bay Hill, Memorial and the AT&T National at Congressional. And it was inevitable after winning for a record eighth time at Torrey Pines. Woods will be “back” when no else is in front of him. The answer he gave Monday after a four-shot win in the Farmers Insurance Open was that he “never left.” But that’s not entirely accurate, because Woods was the undisputed No. 1 player in golf for the better part of five years and now he’s not. Everything he did last year, Rory McIlroy did better. You can believe Woods when he says he is excited about the year. Torrey Pines was his fourth win in his last 16 starts on the PGA Tour. Perhaps a better indication of his game is consistency. He has finished in the top 10 in six of his last seven tournaments around the world, which doesn’t sound like that big of a deal except that he hasn’t had a

Jackets fall, 3-2 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period and the Minnesota Wild snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Tuesday night. With the Wild seemingly on their heels after giving up a two-goal lead, Bouchard took a pass from Torrey Mitchell near the blue line, zoomed past two Columbus defenders and

beat goalie Steve Mason above his right glove. Mikko Koivu and Tom Gilbert also scored for Minnesota. Mark Letestu and Jack Johnson had goals for the Blue Jackets. After Columbus beat Dallas to snap a four-game skid, the Blue Jackets’ flight to the Twin Cities on Monday night was canceled because of fog, forcing the team to leave on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 second quarter. “It was a good halftime speech,” Zawadzki said with a laugh. “We were 4 for 24 from the field, and we were feeling down. So I challenged our seniors to step it up. And Christian, Nathan (Kirkpatrick) and Matthew (Coots) all contributed in the second half.” Coots (five points) converted a four-point play to tie the game late in the third quarter, then Holden Varvel (eight points) hit a 3 to give the Eagles the lead for good. Kirkpatrick hit two of the Eagles’ eight 3s on the night and added 12 points. And even though the numbers belonged to Salazar, the night belonged to the Eagles. “I always tell the kids that awards and school records and such may come to the individual, but it’s really a collective effort,” Zawadzki said. “If everyone isn’t boxing out and doing their jobs and reading the scouting reports, those records don’t happen. All of the kids had a piece of it.” The Eagles — who lead Miami Valley by a game in the MBC standings — begin the final stretch of the season Friday at home against Lehman in a pink-out to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Monday Miami East 55, Wayne 31 HUBER HEIGHTS — Miami East improved to 171 on the season with a 55-31 victory over Wayne Monday. Angie Mack led the way for the Vikings with 19 points, Abby Cash added 11 and Ashley Current scored eight. Mack and Cash both hit three 3s. The Vikings host TriCounty North on Thursday. Franklin 48, Milton-Union 35 WEST MILTON — Franklin outscored MiltonUnion 19-9 in the second quarter on its way to a 4835 victory Monday. The Bulldogs fought their way back in the fourth, closing the lead to single digits at one point, but could never get over the hump. Jordan Pricer had three 3s and tied a game-high with 15 points in the losing effort. Kaylee Swartztrauber added

nine. Northwestern 68, Bethel 23 BRANDT — Nothwestern got going with a 17-1 first-quarter run and rolled to a 68-23 win over Bethel Monday. Breanne Whetstone led the Bees with nine points, while Emily Mongaraz and Morgan Weinert each pitched in four. Bethel finished the game 11 for 18 at the foul line. Bethel plays at Arcanum Thursday. Russia 39, Covington 36 COVINGTON — Covington took a 22-14 lead into halftime Monday night, but an 11-3 third-quarter performance by Russia evened things up and the Raiders went on to win 3936. Cassidy Cain led the Buccaneers (11-8) with 16 points, while Jessie Crowell added nine.

rest of the year based on how Woods played last week, though the finish left just as many questions. And remember, it was only a week ago that Woods missed the cut in Abu Dhabi. Give it time. Still, there was something inevitable about this win, beyond the location. Woods took over the tournament during a four-hole stretch in the second round when he rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt, hit 5-iron to 5 feet for eagle, had a twoputt birdie and then onehopped his wedge off the flag for another birdie.

“We have four games left, and each one is going to be a challenge,” Zawadzki said. That’s OK. His Eagles like those.

scored 11 as the Bulldogs built a 10-point lead after the first quarter — a quarter in which they allowed only six points. “In our last five games, we dug ourselves early holes and battled back,” Berner said. “Tonight we really talked about getting after it from the opening tip, and we did a good job of that. Our runs started with our team defense and rebounding, and we shot the ball extremely well (56 percent from the field, 80 percent from 3-point range). “When you’re doing those little things, it all adds up.” Milton-Union hosts Northridge Friday.

It just missed them. The Indians (8-11, 4-7 Cross County Conference) missed its chances during the final stretch and was forced to foul, and Arcanum put away a 49-35 victory from the free throw line with a 9-0 run to close the game. “We had several opportunities for layups, and we just missed them,” Newton coach Neal Hans said. “Then we had to foul, and they made them. You can’t win too many games where you don’t make your shots.” Trista Lavy led the Indians with 15 points and Marissa Kleman added eight in the loss. “We missed a ton of makeable shots,” Hans said. “We had them. We just missed them.” Newton closes out the season with three more games at home, beginning with Mississinawa Valley Thursday.

told the Los Angeles Daily News that he tried to talk him into playing Riviera but to no avail. So Woods has 23 days off until playing the Match Play Championship. That’s not a surprise. McIlroy, meanwhile, is in the middle of a four-week break and he won’t show up until Match Play, either. So right when Woods generates a buzz by winning Torrey Pines, golf will have to do without him until the end of next month. It’s tempting to make bold declarations about the

stretch like that since he “left” at the end of 2009. So where is he now? It’s too early to say. Golf is off to a quirky start this year. Four weeks into the season, one tournament finished on Tuesday because of wind and another tournament finished on Monday because of fog. It becomes even more stilted with the schedule of the two biggest stars. The Pebble Beach National Pro-Am tournament director told the San Francisco Chronicle that Woods will not be playing next week. Woods’ caddie
