“

The important thing to me is that kids are kids, and we have a lot of great families in this community. And what’s best for the kids in this community is what I’m all about.

Last surviving member of trio dies at age 94

”

— New Troy Christian Football Coach Steve Nolan

Patty Andrews, the last surviving member of the singing Andrews Sisters trio whose hits such as the rollicking “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B” and the poignant “I Can Dream, Can’t I?” captured the home-front spirit of World War II, died Wednesday. She was 94.

Timing wasn’t everything.

Nor necessarily was a burning desire to get back into coaching — although both played a role.

For Steve Nolan, the children of the city of Troy have always been priority No. 1.

Everything simply fell into

place over the past year for the former Troy High School football coach, who, after retiring from that job a year ago after 28 storied seasons, was hired on Wednesday to guide the Troy Christian High School football program as head coach.

“You can talk about timing

with everything. When the Troy City Schools job opened up 28 years ago, it was kind of a freaky thing, too,” Nolan said. “The important thing to me is that kids are kids, and we have a lot of great families in this community.

And what’s best for the kids in this community is what I’m all about.”

Smoking trends discussed

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmail.com Recent research published in the New England Journal of Medicine highlighted just how startling the decline in life expectancy is for smokers compared to nonsmokers, while showing that women have “caught up” to men on lung-cancer risks.

The two-part study tracing smoking trends over 50 years showed that smoking cuts off an average of 10 years from a person’s life.

Male smokers found their odds of living to 80 reduced from 61 percent to 26 percent, while women saw

percent less gas while idling than its competitors within the police vehicle market. The 2013 Ford Interceptor SUV also uses a V6 engine and has the FlexFuel option. The Crown Victoria has a V8 engine in the city fleet.

Residents also will see the Ford Interceptor SUVs popping up in counties and municipalities around the state now that the Crown Victoria has been retired. Miami County Sheriff’s Office purchased five new SUVs last spring, Preble County has one SUV and Tipp City police recently one for its fleet.

The vehicles will hit the city streets in a few days. Long said many of the new SUVs are still being outfitted with computer packages this week.

The full cost of the vehicles $32,008 per vehicle, fully police equipped including prisoner screens, consoles, mounts, lights and other equipment.

“A lot the old equipment could not transfer from the Crown Vic to the Interceptor because it would not fit so that’s why we had to buy a lot of new equipment like the screens and lights,” Long said.

Nolan retired after the 2011 season with a career record of 20295 with the Trojans — a record that included eight league championships, 11 playoff appearances, numerous league Coach of the Year awards and one Division I Ohio Co-Coach of the Year award in 1996.

The retirement didn’t last long. “When I retired, I said I was going to take a year off and then reassess some things after that.

But I wasn’t really in a hurry to get back into coaching,� Nolan said. “But they (Troy Christian) had a need.�

The Troy Christian football program took the 2012 season off, as well, choosing not to field a varsity team due to concerns about participation numbers — particularly the few upperclassmen in the program — and worries about the younger players’ health by being forced to play on varsity too soon. “It was a combination of things,�

Troy Christian athletic director Mike Coots said. “We first touched base with him probably two months ago through mutual friends that had known Steve; former players of his. It went from him thinking about it to him sitting down with us and a few of our football families to talk to him about the position, and today we finalized it.�

The hire could very well be the biggest coaching coup d’etat in Miami County history — particularly for a Division VI school that went through a season without football. “Quite frankly, with a school our size, we learned some valuable les-

sons in the past year without football,� Coots said. “We still knew we wanted football. As a school, we felt like we needed the program back.

It was a very tough year, and a few of our football families gathered around and said ‘let’s do something big for our school.� “They had a need. Their program had gone south a little bit recently, so I talked to some of their families and a lot of different people,� Nolan said. “And they want football there. The timing is good, they are serious about rebuilding and, where I’m at, I’ve got a couple of guys that are going to help me rebuild their program. “I’m going to bring a couple of guys with me that I’ve worked with over the years, so we will have an experienced staff that will be able to catch them up quickly with the fundamentals and get things going in the right direction.�

In 2011, the Eagles were 1-9, and each of the two seasons before that they were 4-6. Over the same brief window at Troy, Nolan’s Trojans were a combined 21-11, including playoff appearances in 2010 and 2011. “I was a full-time guidance counselor at Troy City Schools for the last 15 or 16 years in addition to coaching,� Nolan said. “That’s a tough road to go. It’s just a different opportunity here and now, being retired as far as that goes.�

Different opportunity, same priorities. “Steve’s a Trojan at heart, but he loves the city of Troy and wants to still be a part of this community,� Coots said. “He saw this as an opportunity to help the kids of this community.�

Former Troy High School football coach Steve Nolan will return to the gridiron this fall when he takes over the Troy Christian football program. “I enjoyed some of my time off,� kids involved in it — and I just Nolan said. “It was good to reflect missed it. “I’m looking forward to the next on some things, but I still enjoy the sport, it does great things for the challenge.�

The office is located at 3006 N. County Road 25A after a move in October.

Case came up with the idea for the free clinic during the holiday season a few years ago. “We had asked Dr. Case what he wanted for Christmas that year, and he said more than anything, he’d like to donate our time one day a year to treating our veterans. So that’s how it got started,� Buechler said.

No insurance is necessary, and people of all ages are welcome. Interested individuals are encouraged to schedule as soon as possible by calling the office at (937) 552-9028.

their chance shrink from 70 to 38 percent.

Sarah Jones, oncology nurse specialist at the UVMC Cancer Care Center in Troy, said the findings are not surprising, given that the disease is often already in its advanced stages when diagnosed. “We don’t have good reliable screening mechanisms, so it’s difficult to identify it early,�

Jones said. “Occasionally doctors will discover it as an incidental finding in early stages on x-rays or scans that are ordered for

other purposes.�

Patients may also confuse the symptoms of lung cancer as usual side effects of smoking. “While patients with lung cancer do often show symptoms of cough and shortness of breath with activity, these signs are vague and easily overlooked, as they are symptoms of chronic smoking,� Jones explained.

With many cases already in advanced stages, the cancer is more difficult to treat, and the survival rates are much lower compared to other cancers.

However, the mortality rate has been on the decline for both

sexes, according to American Cancer Society statistics. The death rate for men began decreasing in 1991, with women’s rates dipping in 2003. “Gender differences in lung cancer mortality patterns reflect historical differences in the uptake and reduction of cigarette smoking over the past 50 years,� Jones noted.

The good news, though, is quitting can add years on to former smokers’ lives. Dropping the habit by age 40 significantly decreases or even eliminates the risk of smoking-related death, the study found.

Alabama gunman kills bus driver, seizes boy MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) — Police SWAT teams and hostage negotiators were locked in a standoff Wednesday with a gunman authorities say intercepted a school bus, killed the driver, snatched a kindergartener and retreated into a bunker at his home.

Neighbors described the gunman as a paranoid and combative man who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a shotgun.

The gunman, identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes, a 65-year-old retired truck driver, was supposed to appear in court Wednesday to answer charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute over a speed bump.

The standoff dragged on through the night and into the afternoon Wednesday after the gunman boarded a stopped school bus in the small town of Midland City on Tuesday afternoon, authorities said. Sheriff Wally Olsen said the man shot the driver when he refused to let a 6-year-old child off the bus. The gunman then took the boy away.

The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland, Jr., 66, was hailed by School Superintendent Donny Bynum as a hero who gave his

Law enforcement personnel work at check point Wednesday, in Midland City, Ala., near the home where the Tuesday's school bus shooting suspect is barricaded in a bunker with a young child as hostage. Police, SWAT teams and negotiators were at a rural property where a man was believed to be holed up in a homemade bunker Wednesday after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus and fleeing with a 6-year-old child passenger, authorities said. life to protect 21 students.

About 50 vehicles from federal, state and local agencies were clustered Wednesday at the end of a dirt road near Dykes’ home.

Authorities gave no details on

the standoff, and it was not immediately clear whether they had made contact with Dykes or he had made any demands.

Homes nearby were evacuated early in the morning after

authorities found what was believed to be a bomb on his property.

County Coroner Woodrow Hilboldt said Dykes was believed to be holed up in an

underground bunker of the sort used to take shelter from a tornado.

Mike and Patricia Smith, who live across the street from Dykes and whose two children were on the bus when the shooting happened, said their youngsters had a run-in with him about 10 months ago.

“My bulldogs got loose and went over there,” Patricia Smith said. “The children went to get them. He threatened to shoot them if they came back.”

“He’s very paranoid,” her husband said. “He goes around in his yard at night with a flashlight and shotgun.”

“Everybody up the hill tried to avoid him,” he said.

Patricia Smith said her children told her what happened on the bus: Two other children had just been dropped off and the Smith children were next. Dykes stepped onto the bus and grabbed the door so the driver couldn’t close it. Dykes told the driver he wanted two boys, 6 to 8 years old, without saying why.

According to Smith, Dykes started to step into the aisle of the bus and the driver put his arm out to block him. Dykes fired four shots at Poland with a handgun, Smith said.

“He did give his life, saving children,” Mike Smith said.

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 The Telegraph, London, on the country’s emigration “brain drain”: When we think of emigration, the image that comes to mind is of retirees fleeing to the sun lounger after a lifetime of labor. But, this has long been an illusion. In fact, the vast majority of Britons who choose to pack their bags are in the prime of their lives — and are taking with them the skills that this country so badly needs.

Of course, worries about “brain drain” have been with us for almost as long as mass travel. In fact, it is greatly to Britain’s credit that its people have long possessed the wanderlust, the entrepreneurial spirit, to seek their fortunes elsewhere (and one has only to look out of the window to see why life in sunnier climes might have its attractions). Moreover, in a highly globalized age, when leading companies recruit and deploy their personnel irrespective of borders, it is hardly surprising that the numbers on the move have crept steadily upward.

Hopefully, Obama also enjoyed himself. It might be the last time he has a good time for a long time.

First and foremost, Obama has to find some agreement with the Republicans to get America’s finances in order. The national debt, which hovers at $16.4 trillion — exceeding the United States’ annual gross domestic product — is a millstone on America’s future.

Of course, he faces other challenges: Will the pullout from Afghanistan see the Taliban back in power? Will he get effective gun control laws though Congress? Will he see through his commitment to equality for same-sex couples? But the debt is the biggie.

If he fails he could go down in history as the president who lost the United States’ pre-eminent superpower status.

The reality is that a financially weaker America would be a militarily weakened America. And that would make the 21st century much more dangerous, both for Americans and the rest of the world.

So, like we said, good luck.

Oh yes, one more thing: Don’t forget who your friends are.

Approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s the neighborly thing to do, as well as a smart thing for the American economy.

DOONESBURY

The real debate when it comes to gun control Gun control has gotten out of hand in this country. Authorities have taken it upon themselves to take away the rights of the individual to the point where it makes you wonder if, by the time they are finished, we will have any rights left.

Face it, people, they are coming for our guns.

Some examples within the past month alone: • In Massachusetts, school officials threatened a 5-year-old boy with a suspension after he built a gun out of Lego bricks and pretended to shoot his classmates.

• In the Bronx, two children talking about a toy Nerf gun caused a massive, armed response by police.

• In Long Island, a school was placed on lockdown for six hours in response to a child carrying a toy Nerf gun.

• In Mount Carmel, Pa., a kindergarten student who said she was going to shoot her classmates and her self with a pink bubble gun was grilled by school officials for three hours without her mother’s knowledge, then suspended from school.

• In Philadelphia, a student was searched in front of classmates and threatened with arrest

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor after accidentally bringing a paper gun — yes, a gun made out of paper — to school.

• In Maryland, a 6-year-old boy was suspended from school for making a gun gesture with his hand and saying, “pow.”

• In Oklahoma, a 5-year-old boy was suspended for doing the same thing with his hand.

That’s right, my fellow freedomloving Americans, a war has been declared on guns in this country — toy guns, that is. They aren’t going to rest until every toy gun — and, apparently, every finger gun — has been firmly banished from our society. Truthfully, it goes much deeper than that. This isn’t just about toy gun control — it’s about a whole lot more. We’re not talking about a war on toy guns — we are talking about a war on common

sense.

I understand schools having a “zero tolerance” policy toward guns — but they doesn’t mean they need to have a “zero sense” policy toward guns. There are plenty of toy guns out there that actually look like real guns and should understandably be banned from school grounds. Pink bubble guns, guns made from Legos, paper guns and children’s hands being pointed like guns do not fall into this category, however.

I understand that, in light of the recent school shooting at Shady Hook Elementary School, a lot of people are on edge when it comes to guns, whether they be toy guns or real guns. That’s no reason to throw common sense solutions out the window, however. If a student brings in a toy gun that is painted black and looks for all intents and purposes like a real gun, punish that student within the school rules and guidelines.

When a student points his finger at another student and says, “pow,” it’s probably time to find better things for teachers and administrators to do than suspend that student.

There’s also a school of thought that toy guns can serve as a “gateway” to real guns. To me, that is

kind of like saying that kids who play with Matchbox cars are going to be guilty of vehicular homicide before they hit the sixth grade. I had all sorts of toy guns as a kid — and I’m not talking about pink bubble guns or neon-orange Nerf guns. I’m talking about black guns that looked exactly like the real thing. To this day, I have never owned — or even fired — a real gun, nor do I have the desire to do so.

Toy guns have been around for decades. An entire generation of kids grew up on Lone Ranger cap pistols. How many school shootings took place in the 1950s? Not very many. Not every kid who played “cops and robbers” or “cowboys and Indians” growing up went on a five-state killing spree.

It’s good that schools have rules regarding things like guns and violence. However, sometimes it’s important to remember the spirit of the law as much as the letter of the law. Not everything is black and white — like so many things in life, this needs to be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Pow. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News.

Patty Andrews of Andrews Sisters dead at age 94

This 1947 publicity photo shows the pop vocal trio, The Andrews Sisters, from left, Maxine Andrews, Patty Andrews, and LaVerne Andrews. Patty Andrews, the last survivor of the three singing Andrews sisters, has died in Los Angeles at age 94. the Boswells, had become famous as singing acts, but mostly they huddled before a microphone in close harmony. The Andrews Sisters LaVerne, Maxene and Patty added a new dimension.

During breaks in their singing, they cavorted about the stage in rhythm to the music.

Their voices combined with perfect synergy. As Patty remarked in 1971: “There were just three girls in the family. LaVerne had a very low voice. Maxene’s was kind of high, and I was between. It was like God had given us voices to fit our parts.”

Kathy Daris of the singing Lennon Sisters recalled on Facebook late Wednesday that the Andrews Sisters “were the first singing sister act that we tried to copy. We loved their rendition of songs, their high spirit, their fabulous harmony.”

The Andrews Sisters’ rise coincided with the advent of swing music, and their style fit perfectly into the new craze.

They aimed at reproducing the sound of three harmonizing trumpets.

“I was listening to Benny Goodman and to all the bands,” Patty once remarked. “I was into the feel, so that would go into my own musical ability. I was into swing. I loved the brass section.”

Unlike other singing acts, the sisters recorded with popular bands of the ’40s, fitting neatly into the styles of Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, Bob Crosby, Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Desi Arnaz and Russ Morgan. They sang dozens of songs on records with Bing Crosby, including the million-seller “Don’t Fence Me In.” They also recorded with Dick Haymes, Carmen Miranda, Danny Kaye, Al Jolson, Jimmy Durante and Red Foley.

The Andrews’ popularity led to a contract with Universal Pictures, where they made a dozen low-budget musical comedies between 1940 and 1944.

In 1947, they appeared in “The Road to Rio” with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour.

The trio continued until LaVerne’s death in 1967.

By that time the close harmony had turned to discord, and the sisters had been openly feuding.

Midler’s cover of “Bugle Boy” revived interest in the trio.

The two survivors joined in 1974 for a Broadway show, “Over Here!” It ran for more than a year, but disputes with the producers led to the cancellation of the national tour of the show, and the sisters did not perform together again.

Patty continued on her own, finding success in Las Vegas and on TV variety shows. Her sister also toured solo until her death in 1995.

and previously at Bud’s Marine, both in Russells Point, and McNulty Motors in Dayton, Ohio. He was a member of Indian Lake Moose Lodge No. 1533 and enjoyed boating and fishing.

A Gathering of Remembrance will be from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, at Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview.

Burial of cremated remains will be in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Pleasant Hill, Ohio.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patty Andrews, the last surviving member of the singing Andrews Sisters trio whose hits such as the rollicking “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B” and the poignant “I Can Dream, Can’t I?” captured the home-front spirit of World War II, died Wednesday. She was 94.

Andrews died of natural causes at her home in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge, said family spokesman Alan Eichler in a statement.

Patty was the Andrews in the middle, the lead singer and chief clown, whose raucous jitterbugging delighted American servicemen abroad and audiences at home.

She could also deliver sentimental ballads like “I’ll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time” with a sincerity that caused hardened GIs far from home to weep.

“When I was a kid, I only had two records and one of them was the Andrews Sisters. They were remarkable. Their sound, so pure,” said Bette Midler, who had a hit cover of “Bugle Boy” in 1973. “Everything they did for our nation was more than we could have asked for. This is the last of the trio, and I hope the trumpets ushering (Patty) into heaven with her sisters are playing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” From the late 1930s through the 1940s, the Andrews Sisters produced one hit record after another, beginning with “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” in 1937 and continuing with “Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar,” ”Rum and Coca-Cola” and more.

They recorded more than 400 songs and sold over 80 million records, several of them going gold.

LAKEVIEW, Ohio — Scott V. “Scotty” Jordan, 55, of Lakeview, died Tuesday night, Jan. 29, 2013, at his residence.

Piqua man get prison time for break-in Also required to register as a sex-offender

BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com

CIVITAS MEDIA PHOTOS/MIKE ULLERY

Man hurt in crash A Miami County man was injured when he lost control of the pickup truck he was driving Wednesday and crashed on Casstown-Sidney Road near Cathcart Road.

Deputies say that Kenneth Baker, 30, was northbound on Casstown-Sidney Road around 3 p.m. when he lost control on a curve and crashed into a large tree several hundred feet away. Firefighters and medics from Troy and Casstown freed the victim from the wreckage. Baker was transported by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment.

Baker was reported to be in fair condition Wednesday evening.

The crash is being investigated by Miami County deputies.

A Piqua man convicted of breaking into a Piqua apartment and groping and assaulting a female acquaintance inside after his sexual advances were rejected was sentenced to prison and labeled a sex offender at a court hearing in common pleas court Monday.

Aaron J. Reynolds, 19, of Piqua, was given a prison sentence of six months and was labelled a tier I sex offender, which requires him to annually register as such in the county where he lives, works or receives an education.

On Dec. 11, Reynolds entered a no contest plea and was found guilty of gross sexual imposition, a fourth-degree felony,

TROY and a misdemeanor count of aggravated trespassing, which was amended from aggravated burglary as a part of a plea agreement.

Authorities say that on Oct. 21 Reynolds broke into an apartment along Covington Avenue in Piqua that belonged to a woman he knew in an attempt to have sex with her, but after the victim rejected his sexual advances he squeezed her buttocks and then struck her in the face, according to police reports.

Reynolds first began banging on the woman’s window before he managed to open the window and slink into the home where a small child also was present, reports state.

Reynolds was one of five inmates at the Miami County Jail in November who initiated a small jail riot that required 20 corrections officers and sheriff’s deputies to suppress. He and the other prisoners received violations for interrupting jail activities and attempting to start a jail riot.

West Milton man sentenced for gas station robberies

BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com A West Milton man who robbed two Troy Speedway gas stations within 15 minutes of each other learned his fate at a sentencing hearing in common pleas court Monday.

Daniel A. Hymer, 30, was sentenced to a combined four years years in prison for his convictions on two counts of robbery,

TROY felonies of the third-degree.

He faced up to 72 months behind bars on each count.

In addition he was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $355.11.

Hymer pleaded no contest and was found guilty of two felony robbery charges for his actions on Sept. 14 when he first robbed the Speedway located at 1475 W. Market St. and another

located at 1894 W. Main St. just after 1 a.m.

Police took Hymer into custody after the robberies after a sheriff ’s deputy spotted a vehicle that matched a description of a suspect vehicle involved in the robberies a short time after they were committed.

Surveillance footage from the gas stations showed Hymer committing the crimes, according to the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office.

Susan Eicher celebrated her 17th birthday by writing a column for her mother, The Amish Cook.

Monster cookies a delicious treat Hi, I am Susan. I decided to write for Mom this week.

I recently turned 17, so my treat to Mom is to write the column for her. I made monster cookies yesterday. I wanted to have something to treat everyone for my birthday.

I am here at my babysitting job. I brought some cookies for them too.

The children really like the cookies.

I think monster cookies are a treat for the children especially since they have M & Ms in them.

Today, I have only the twins here. They are 2 years old and the girls name is McKenzie and the boys name is Cole.

On Mondays and Fridays, I also have their 4 year old brother, Hunter, to babysit for. Hunter

Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist makes me laugh. When nap time comes, he can really talk, thinking I will forget about his nap.

They keep me busy but are a joy to be around.

They are all very cute.

McKenzie and Cole are coloring in their books while I am writing. They think I am coloring too, because they wanted to color when they saw me writing.

It has been a very cold week so far. I don’t drive the ponies when it is this cold. I have two more ponies here to train.

Sunny belongs to my boyfriend Mose’s sister’s family. They want me to train her for their little boys. He is a miniature 2359696

pony and is doing well with the training so far.

The other pony is named Roxy and she is mine now. Mose’s dad gave her to me. She did have some training before but is still really rowdy. I need to keep working with her but she makes me laugh at how stubborn she can get.

This is Friday morning and I had a very nice birthday. Dad and mom went to the funeral of dad’s cousin’s wife. She lost her battle to cancer.

How sad for the family.

I stayed home and folded laundry, washed dishes, and cleaned up the house.

Around 2:30 p.m., Mose came and took me along to town. He had me pick out what I wanted for my birthday. I picked out a nice office chair, which I will have in my bedroom by my desk. I will use it a lot. I also picked out an “around the house toolkit.”

Now I’ll have my own set of small tools if I need to fix or hang something up. Mose bought me a Dairy Queen ice cream cake and brought pizza home for the whole family for supper. Mom and dad had returned from the funeral by then.

It was a treat for everyone. Since we didn’t have to make supper, we had time to finish the 750 piece puzzle, which we started on Sunday afternoon. It is oval shaped and has deer on it. We got the puzzle from a reader last Christmas. It was fun to put it together. Mom wants to do it together because my brothers want it hung in their bedroom.

Mose has two new nieces that were born five days apart. Last Friday evening, I went with Mose and his family to meet his sister Polly’s new baby girl, named Delilah Louise.

She is so sweet.

Tonight I am planning to go with Mose to see his sister Hannah’s baby girl name Alissa Fern. Mose has 21 nieces and nephews. He has six brothers and six sisters. I will share the recipe I used for the monster cookies.

(Editor’s Note: Monster Cookies from one of my recipe-testers) MONSTER COOKIES 2 sticks butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup brown sugar 3 eggs ½ teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon corn syrup (clear) 2 teaspoon baking soda 1 ½ cup peanut butter 4 ½ cups oatmeal 2 cups chocolate chips 2cups M&Ms plain Preheat over 350 degrees Baking time 10-12 minutes Cream butter, & sugars (white & brown) add eggs, on at a time, vanilla, corn syrup, baking soda, peanut butter, mix well until smooth, add oatmeal, mix well, scrape side of bowl, add chocolate chips, mix, add M&Ms mix , drop batter on ungreased cookie sheets in spoon fills, (Tablespoon) .

I like to let it rest overnight.

Not only does this produce the creamiest result, it also saves me any trouble in the morning.

I just uncover it and pop it in the oven. But if you prefer to make it the day of, plan to let it rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

VALENTINE’S DAY BREAKFAST-IN-BED EGG STRATA Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 minutes active), plus resting time Servings: 4 6 eggs 3/4 cup milk 3/4 cup half-and-half 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon dry mustard Dash nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 3 slices white sandwich bread, cubed 1 pound sage breakfast sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, mustard, nutmeg and white pepper.

In the prepared baking dish, layer half each of the bread, sausage, cheese and scallions, then repeat using the remaining ingredients to create a second layer of each.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, gently pressing with a fork to make sure all of the ingredients are submerged.

Cover the baking dish with foil, crimping the edges tight. Refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to overnight (longer is better).

When ready to cook, heat the oven to 350 F. Uncover and bake the strata for 1 hour, or until puffy and a knife inserted at the center comes out clean.

Casseroles are a funny thing. You aren’t likely to see them lauded as the hot new food trend any time soon. Yet make a great one, and suddenly folks clamor for the recipe.

My favorite casserole is one that typically is served for breakfast or brunch. It’s called an egg strata, and I love it because it’s easy to prep ahead of time, and bakes up light and fluffy, and yet is substantial and a satisfying perfect choice for a romantic breakfast in bed come Valentine’s Day. The other thing that I love about a strata is that you can tailor it to include your favorite flavors, as well as make it sweet or savory.

Strata is the plural of stratum, which literally means layers, and you can layer all your favorite ingredients in with the bread and egg custard.

I grew up with the classic cheddar cheese, breakfast sausage egg strata. When I moved to Chicago, I began to experiment with different fillings. I fell in love with this city’s Greek omelet, which is a signature of its ubiquitous diners.

I adapted those flavors to create a spinach, feta, onion and tomato strata. Another favorite is wild mushrooms, leeks and brie cheese.

When I am cooking brunch for a lot of people, I like to make two strata one sweet, another savory.

An apple-cream cheese stuffed “French toast” strata is my favorite sweet version, but you could add any kind of fruit. If you make a sweet strata for Valentine’s Day, try stuffing it with strawberries and chocolate for a new twist on everyone’s beloved chocolate-covered strawberries.

Just leave out the savory spices and add a touch of sugar and lemon zest to make the stuffed French toast of your dreams.

There are simpler strata recipes available, but I still love the original I grew up with.

It uses more eggs and a mixture of milk and half-and-half for a richer, more quiche-like custard.

I don’t use as much bread as many recipes because I like it to literally melt into the other ingredients.

This produces a lighter, puffier strata.

I do add a bit more bread to my sweet French toast version because I want a breadier result for that version.

Letting the strata rest before baking allows the

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Try being a friend to person in question Dear Annie: With the recent events that have occurred across the country involving mass killings, this has prompted me to ask a question. What do you do if you know someone you think could end up in the news involved in a mass killing? What do you do with those gut feelings?

I know someone who has prompted me and others to think, "This guy is a ticking time bomb."

This particular person is still a child, but one who displays many signs of being severely troubled.

His parents don't seem concerned, but many of us on the outside of this family dynamic think this child has serious issues and could potentially end up committing a horrible crime.

So what do I do? The child has never been in trouble. He has difficulty in public situations and prefers to be by himself. He shows a great interest in knives and guns, has very few friends, and has been moved from multiple schools because "he didn't fit in." Does this make him a potential risk? And if so, what do I do?

You hear interviews with neighbors and friends who say, "He was a quiet kid. I never thought he would do something like this."

Well, I wouldn't be able to say that.

— K. Dear K.: The problem with stopping such behavior in advance is that there is no way to reliably predict who will commit such a crime.

Signs can include depression, anger, drug or alcohol abuse, lack of empathy and hurting others. The angry kid who likes to torture dogs and pull the wings off of butterflies is more likely to harm a human being than the child who is socially awkward, but it still doesn't predict mass murder. And easy access to guns can create an opportunity for tragedy that would otherwise defuse in a less disastrous way.

If you are in regular contact with this child, the best thing you can do is help him develop empathy for others and learn impulse control. We also hope you can be his friend.

Dear Annie: My husband and I communicate with our grandchildren regularly by phone, text and email. We have one adult grandchild who lives in another state.

Through the years, we have helped her emotionally, as well as financially. But she never returns our calls or emails. We send gifts and never hear from her.

We simply want to know how she's doing and be a part of her life. When I complain to her mother, she makes excuses and says her daughter is too busy. She also says grandparents aren't as important to young people these days.

I find these excuses difficult to swallow, especially when I hear other grandparents talk about their grandkids. Are we expecting too much? — Disappointed Grandparents Dear Disappointed: It is absolutely not true that grandparents are less important to this generation. But young adults have been known to take their family members for granted. Please continue to stay in touch regardless of the lack of response. We think she'll come around eventually.

However, there is no excuse for not acknowledging a gift. If it happens again, tell your granddaughter that her silence indicates she isn't interested in receiving any more presents. Feel free to stop sending them.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "RH," whose dog, "Buster," died and he wants an identical dog with the same name.

I am a veterinarian and have seen many people experience a profound grief for the loss of their beloved pet. Many veterinary schools offer free pet loss hotlines. I also recommend he write an obituary for "Buster," describing his wonderful life, and share it with those friends and family who will understand. When he is ready, he can honor Buster's memory by forming a relationship with a new dog who has a different name. — Massachusetts Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Is there an easy way to remove red wine stains?

Dear Heloise: Help! I had a party, and now I have red wine stains on my beige-colored carpet. Is there anything I can do?

— Lorraine D., via email In your case, at this point, it is best to use a commercial stain remover.

In the future, as soon as the spill happens, blot up as much of the wine as you can.

Then mix a solution of 1 part mild liquid dishwashing detergent and 20 parts water.

With a clean microfiber cloth, blot the stain until color stops coming out.

Then take half-vinegar/halfwater and blot the stain to get the last remnants of color out.

Hints from Heloise Columnist If you still see the red color, put a 3 percent-5 percent hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and blot.

As always, try out a hidden area of carpet first to make sure you won’t fade the color.

Finally, rinse with cold water, blot dry and then allow to airdry.

This is another reason to keep vinegar in your household. I use it regularly, which is why I wrote my Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More pamphlet.

To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Use any leftover vinegar-and-water solution to wipe down and clean plastic, dusty outside furniture. — Heloise HOT WATER Dear Heloise: When we first moved into our home, the dishwasher did a poor job of

cleaning the dishes. I realized that the water heater was on the opposite side of the house, and a full cycle had run before the water entering the washer was hot. We always opened the hot-water tap in the kitchen and let the water get warm before hitting the “Start” button on the washer.

To avoid wasting water, I use the water flow to flush the garbage disposal or for other uses while waiting for it to warm. — Doug J. in Louisiana It can be a long “travel time” from where the water heater is to the kitchen. Thanks for the reminder! — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Feb. 1, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today, both Venus and Mars change signs. This could bring secret love affairs in the next month. All of you will enjoy more social activities, for sure.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In the month ahead, romance with a boss or someone in a position of authority could develop. Meanwhile, others will ask you for your advice about layout, design, color, furniture arrangement, whatever.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel for pleasure will delight you in the next month. Nevertheless, your ambition is aroused because you want to make a name for yourself.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Gifts, goodies and favors from others will bless you in the next month. Keep your pockets open. (This could be handy, because you have travel plans!)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with partners will improve beautifully in the next month to six weeks. (And your passion will match your affection.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Many of you will get a raise or praise at work in the month ahead. However, relations with partners and close friends could be testy. Be patient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The next month is the perfect time for a vacation if you can swing it. At least, plan for parties, fun times, social occasions and enjoy playful times with children.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Decorating projects at home will intrigue you in the next month. Not only do you want to make things look better, you’ll want to entertain as well.

Family relationships will be warm.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Strangely, you will be struck by how much beauty there is in your daily surroundings in the month ahead. You also will notice and perhaps be surprised by how much you are loved.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Look for ways to improve your income and boost your earnings in the month ahead. However, you’re also tempted to buy beautiful goodies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) The next month is the perfect time to buy wardrobe items because you like what you see in the mirror. You also will be unusually charming with everyone.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) With Mars in your sign for the next six weeks, you’ll be raring to go! You’ll have no trouble asserting yourself and going after what you want.

YOU BORN TODAY You are grounded in a practical way, which is why your strength is comforting to others. You’re strong-willed and bright. You’re also willful, headstrong and courageous!

You appeal to logic in others; nevertheless, they often respond to your sensuousness. In the year ahead, something you’ve been involved with for the past nine years will end or diminish in order to make room for something new.

Northern Chile rattled by 6.8 magnitude earthquake SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A magnitude-6.8 earthquake shook offices, toppled supermarket shelves and broke windows on Wednesday in north-central Chile, where people fled some buildings in panic.

A 50-year-old woman in the city of Copiapo died of a heart attack, said Atacama Regional Governor Rafael Prohens, who attributed her death to fear during the quake.

Authorities said that damage was limited and discounted the possibility of a AP tsunami.

Newly-sworn in U.S. citizens attend an induction ceremony Tuesday at the Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.

“Two walls collapsed. We’re evaluating ruptures at homes to find out if they’re still safe to live in.”

But Chile’s Emergency Office, ONEMI, said no injuries were immediately reported and damage to infrastructure appears minimal. The oceanographic service discounted the possibility of a tsunami.

“There’s no doubt the population in some places fled, following a culture of evacuation,” Miguel Ortiz, national chief of the early alert center at ONEMI. Two lower intensity aftershocks were also reported.

A devastating 8.8-magnitude quake and the tsunami it unleashed in 2010, killed 551 people, destroyed 220,000 homes and washed away docks, riverfronts and seaside resorts. The disaster cost Chile $30 billion, or 18 percent of its annual gross domestic product.

Chile is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world.

Just off Chile’s long coast, the Nazca tectonic plate plunges beneath the continent, pushing the Andes to ever-higher altitudes.

The 2010 quake was so strong it changed time, shortening the Earth’s day slightly by changing the planet’s rotation.

The strongest earthquake ever recorded also happened in Chile, a magnitude-9.5 in 1960 that killed more than 5,000 people.

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.

Troy’s Kristen Wood coasts in for a layup during the Trojans’ victory over Butler Wednesday at the Trojan Activities Center.

Trojans win ugly Field goals a rarity in 35-25 victory

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Kristen Wood — Troy’s leading scorer — only had one field goal to speak of in the Trojans’ past two games.

One small adjustment worked wonders.

“I’m usually used to getting back on defense (after shooting) because I’m usually at the top,” Wood said. “But lately coach has been telling me to go for my own rebounds.”

Jackets rout Indians Staff Reports For most of Wednesday’s game, it wasn’t stopping a talented Sidney offensive team that was the problem for Piqua — at least not on the first shot.

But Sidney scored on many second-chance opportunities, outrebounding Piqua 41-19 and cruising to a 50-27 victory over the Indians in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division action.

Morgan Grunkemeyer led Piqua with five points and 10 rebounds, while Janiese Hummel also scored five points.

PIQUA Konner Harris had 16 points to lead Sidney. Sylvia Hudson had 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Aallyah Wise had 11 rebounds and eight points.

Piqua will host Greenville Saturday.

TROY With neither team able to hit shots Wednesday, the plan worked like a charm. Wood posted a double-double — the only player to reach double figures in either points or rebounds — and the Trojan defense did the rest, forcing 36 Butler turnovers and never giving the Aviators a chance in a 35-25 victory at the

Ohio judge won’t move football players rape trial

Trojans

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The upcoming trial of two high school football players charged with raping a 16-year-old girl will be held in the eastern Ohio county where prosecutors say the attack happened, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Prosecutors opposed the relocation request by defense lawyers, who said potential witnesses had been threatened and could face intimidation or harassment outside the local courthouse.

Judge Thomas Lipps kept the case in Jefferson County, home to most of the people involved, but acknowledged concerns about witness intimidation and ensuring a fair trial. Lipps said moving it wouldn’t stop protesters who could relocate or critics who could continue commenting online and through social media.

Lipps, a judge brought in from Hamilton County to handle the nonjury trial in juvenile court, also noted that he has avoided media reports about the case.

Lipps said the trial should be open to the public and media. He pushed back the trial date by a month to March 13.

Adam Nemann, an attorney for defendant Trent Mays, had argued the case should be moved to a county with a bigger courthouse where crowds of protesters potentially trying to intimidate witnesses favorable to the accused could be better controlled.

“My big concern is that witnesses aren’t going to come in walking past hundreds of people wearing masks,” Nemann said.

Brian Deckert, a special prosecutor from the Ohio attorney general’s office, responded that witnesses could be compelled to testify by subpoena and would have to testify truthfully because of perjury laws.

Lipps’ decision for an open trial overruled objections by the girl and her family, who wanted to protect her identity and keep evidence that might be ruled inadmissible from becoming public. Lipps said “a transparent and open hearing” would boost public confidence in the juvenile justice system.

A lawyer for defendant Ma’Lik Richmond initially wanted the trial closed,

then changed his mind.

Closing the trial would have hinged largely on Richmond’s concerns — related to possible witness intimidation — since his right to a fair trial was the main issue before the judge.

Attorneys for both defendants said Wednesday that they respect the judge’s rulings. Richmond’s attorney, Walter Madison, said he will work to assure potential witnesses that they should participate in the legal process.

The Associated Press generally doesn’t identify juvenile suspects, but Mays’ and Richmond’s names have been widely reported by local and national media outlets.

Three other students who witnessed the attack but weren’t charged are expected to testify at trial.

The girl attends a different high school nearby in West Virginia.

Madison had sought an order that the girl be referred to as the accuser, not the victim, because he said “victim” implies something happened to her that’s been proven.

The judge ordered Wednesday that she be referred to as “the alleged victim” during trial, and Madison said he’s pleased by that decision.

Prosecutors say the girl was attacked twice after an alcohol-fueled party last August, once in a car and once in the basement of a house. The AP generally doesn’t identity people who say they are the victims of sexual assault.

The case has attracted attention because of the alleged involvement of football players in a community of about 18,000 where the football team is a source of huge pride.

Bloggers and online activists also created an international stir by alleging a cover-up and questioning why more students weren’t charged.

Three students who watched the attack testified previously, including two who took a video and photograph, then deleted the images.

The Ohio attorney general’s office told attorneys for those students that their behavior may not have been responsible, but it didn’t rise to the level of criminal conduct and they wouldn’t be prosecuted.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Trojan Activities Center.

Wood controlled the game on both ends of the floor, posting game highs in points (13), rebounds (10), steals (five) and assists (three).

“She was getting her own misses,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said when asked of his senior point guard’s double-double.

“She didn’t quit.”

There were plenty of misses to collect on the night, too. When Butler (711, 3-4 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) actually managed to hold onto the ball to get a shot off, it shot less than 30 percent.

But the Trojans (10-9, 6-1 GWOC North) actually shot the ball worse, going 9 for 51 — 18 percent — from the field.

“First we had to box out,” Wood said. “We’ve struggled with rebounding all season, so we had to do a better job of that. Then we had to focus on getting pressure on the ball. Our offense has struggled in the half court, so we try to push it in transition off of steals.”

After Troy missed a few easy fast break layups after piling up seven steals in the first quarter, though, the game was tied at 7-7.

The Trojans called timeout after three scoreless minutes to start the second quarter — and that seemed to do the trick.

Wood finished a layup after a Todda Norris steal to put Troy up for good, then she hit Courtney Mazzulla for a 3 on an inbounds play to make it 127. Butler answered with a 3 of its own, but Wood hit Mackenzie Schulz inside for a layup, then Schulz set Wood up for a 3 to make it 17-10 at the half.

Troy added four consecutive points on free throws to start the third, finishing off what proved to be a game-deciding nine-point run.

Norris finished with nine points and six rebounds, Taylor added six points — all from the free throw line — and Mazzulla had five as Troy put the game away despite only two second-half field goals.

“To go 9 for 51 from the field and still to be up by 16 late in the fourth — and win by double digits — that’s some good defense,” Kopp said. “We’re going to win ugly sometimes. But we’re always going to play good defense. We had seven or eight girls do good things tonight. It was an all-around good effort.”

It was the first time the Trojans had swept the season series against Butler

Troy — currently tied with Greenville for the division lead — finishes the regular season with three straight GWOC North games, beginning Saturday at home against Trotwood for Senior Night.

Lewis says he’s ‘agitated,’ not angry about story NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ray Lewis is “agitated.”

Not because the Baltimore Ravens linebacker thinks the magazine report linking him to a company that purports to make performance-enhancers will affect his play or that of his teammates against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl the final game of a 17-year NFL career that most assume will earn him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Rather, Lewis did not want to spend time discussing the subject in private with his head coach or in public with the media, as he did Wednesday, when his forceful denials and attacks on the owner of the supplement company meant the matter intruded for a second consecutive day on his retirement send-off.

“It’s so funny of a story, because I never, ever took what he says or whatever I was supposed to do. And it’s just sad, once again, that someone can have this much attention on a stage this big, where the dreams are really real,” Lewis said, wearing his white No. 52 Ravens jersey, gray sweat pants and a black hat with

the team’s purple logo. “I don’t need it. My teammates don’t need it. The 49ers don’t need it. Nobody needs it.”

He smiled widely when the first question at his media session was about the topic surely, he figured it was coming then chuckled later while addressing it.

Known for his frequent references to God and faith, Lewis called the whole episode a “joke” and a “trick of the devil,” adding that he told teammates: “Don’t let people from the outside ever come and try to disturb what’s inside.”

Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday that Lewis sought help from a company called Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS), which says its deer-antler spray and pills contain a naturally occurring banned product connected to human growth hormone. The 37-year-old Lewis, the MVP of the 2001 Super Bowl, is the leading tackler in the NFL postseason after returning from a torn right triceps that sidelined him for 10 games.

SI reported that company owner Mitch Ross recorded a call with Lewis

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis warms up during an NFL Super Bowl XLVII football practice on Wednesday in New Orleans. hours after the player hurt his arm in an October game against Dallas. According to the report, Lewis asked Ross to send him deerantler spray and pills, along with other items made by the company.

On Wednesday, Lewis called Ross a coward and said he “has no credibility.”

Ross declined an interview request from The Associated Press but emailed a statement reading: “It is the view of SWATS and Mitch Ross that the timing of information was unfortunate and misleading and was in no way intended to harm any athlete. We have always

been about aiding athletes to heal faster and participate at an optimum level of play in a lawful and healthy manner. We never encourage the use of harmful supplements and/or dangerous drugs.”

Told by a reporter that he seemed angry, Lewis replied: “Me? Never angry.

I’m too blessed to be stressed. Nah. You’re not angry. You can use a different word. You can use the word ‘agitated,’ because I’m here to win the Super Bowl.

I’m not here to entertain somebody that does not affect that one way or another.”

Christopher Key, a coowner of SWATS, said in a telephone interview that the company removed NFL players’ endorsements from its website because “all the players were given letters by the NFL two years ago saying they had to cease and desist and could not continue to do business with us anymore.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that but did not respond to other requests for comment about SWATS or Lewis’ involvement.

Teammates uniformly

pushed the same message as Lewis and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh “Everybody heard about it, but we’re not worried about it,” is the way rookie running back Bernard Pierce put it and several said NFL players often are offered products to aid in musclebuilding or recovery.

“You’ve got to be real careful. You’ve got to think there’s a reason they’re giving you this product,” Pierce said. “If someone has success, another person wants to be mentioned in that like, ‘Oh, I’m the reason for that.’

If anybody tries to give me anything or tries to sell me on their stuff, I say, ‘Go right to my agent.’”

Wary of using something that has no real benefit or, worse, that would result in a positive drug test administered by the league players seek approval first from the NFL, the union, or a team trainer or doctor.

“I’ve been approached,” Baltimore nose tackle Ma’ake Kemoeatu said.

“They’ll come to me and they tell me, ‘This will help you with recovery and all that.’ I say, ‘OK. I appreciate it.’ And then I will call the NFL.”

Buccs, Eagles ousted from duals tourney

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 won the regional semifinal 34-32.

“It’s only an upset in the fact that we’re not really expected to beat Beavercreek,” Troy coach Doug Curnes said.

“Beavercreek had some guys out. Their lineup probably isn’t what (Beavercreek coach) Gary Wise would have liked it to be. I take nothing away from them in that regard, and just like us, we don’t have a full lineup, we’re trying to do patchwork here and there. So I know what Gary’s feeling.

“But I can’t take this win away from these guys.

They’re still Beavercreek, they’re still deep in every weight class. So picking up a win against them is absolutely great.”

Shane Love After scored a pinfall victory over Beavercreek’s Alex Morgan in the opening round, the Trojans went on a dry spell, losing six out of seven matches before it was Schlosser’s turn to go.

And once it was time for Troy’s final six to wrestle, Curnes had all the confidence in the world.

“We’re always confident when we have those guys coming up,” Curnes said.

“They’ve been solid all year, and they are going to continue to get better. It was nice to have that boost at the end. We knew if we could keep it close going into those upper weight classes, we had a chance.”

The win over ‘Creek gave Troy a shot at No. 1 seed Sidney in the regional final round. But this time around, the upset-minded Trojans met their match, losing the Yellowjackets 36-24.

Love held off Sidney’s Chris Cantrill in the opening match to complete a 20 day and put the Trojans up 3-0. Following that

Troy’s Frankie Quintero controls an opponent from Beavercreek Wednesday at Sidney High School.

Troy’s Shane Love went 2-0 for the Trojans Wednesday against Beavercreek and Sidney. moment, though, Sidney was in control. Troy’s Ben Andrews (113) and Zayne Davidson (120) both lost by pinfall, before Mason Perkins pinned Sidney’s Luke Dahlinghaus to make the score 12-9.

Troy’s had to forfeit at 138, then Frankie Quintero (145) was defeated by Sidney’s Logan Troy’s Cam Calvert.

Kauflin (152) lost his bout, Brandon Lee (160) was beaten by pinfall, then Schlosser held off Sidney’s Jordan Fox for a 13-7 victory, which made the score 36-12 — but by then it was already too little, too late for the Trojans.

McGraw won his final match of the day against Sidney’s Noah Straman by a 5-1 decision, Kostecka

beat Jac Beatty 3-0 and Dalton ended the day on a high note for Troy, pinning Maurice Ickes.

“We wrestled them (Sidney) earlier in the year and won six matches,” Curnes said. “We came in tonight — and we wanted a shot at them again, and we had a shot at them — and we won seven. So we won one more match than we did the first time. So when you look at it that way, nothing really went wrong, everybody wrestled the way they could. Some guys could have picked up more points, some guys may have given up less points. But overall, we took a step forward by winning another match.”

And at this point in the season, improving is all that matters.

Troy is back in action Friday at the Greater Western Ohio Conference Tournament at Butler High School.
