Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman said many of Kasich’s ideas “are good ideas, if he’s got the money to do it.” “I appreciate the fact he is trying to even up the tax base,” Herman said Thursday. “And if he said he’s going to do it without cutting any of our funding — if he can pull that off, that would be great.”

Dow Jones climbs above 14,000 First time since October 2007 NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow closed above 14,000 on Friday for the first time in more than five years. It was just a number on a board, but it was enough to raise the hopes of some investors and cause others concern about an overheated market. And it brought reminders of a different era, back before the financial crisis rocked the world economy. The Dow Jones industrial average, a stock market index that is traditionally considered a benchmark for how the entire market is faring, had been rising fairly steadily for about a month. On Friday, strong auto sales and optimism

enthusiasm for the equity market,” said Jim Russell, regional investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis. But market watchers were divided over what the Dow milestone or even what a potential new alltime high really means. To some, it’s an important booster to hearts and minds, making investors feel optimistic and thus more willing to bet on the market. “The Dow touching 14,000, it matters psychologically,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York. “It attracts smaller investors.”

A sign posted on the door of Night Sky Coffee earlier this week stated that the business has closed. Owned by Timothy and Victoria Tittle, the restaurant at 18 N. Market St. was distinguished for its extensive coffee selection, diverse menu offerings and cozy atmosphere. The sign read, “We appreciate all our patrons for making Night Sky a positive environment to visit, conduct business, or just have a cup of coffee. Due to unforeseen activities in our lives and here at Night Sky, we will be closing the business as of 1/29/13.” The Tittles bought the restaurant in April 2012 from Richard and Maryellen Nilsen, who created the concept of Night Sky and owned it for about 10 years, said Troy Development Director Jim Dando. The couple’s son painted the image on the ceiling, which is how the coffeehouse got its name. For the past six months, a sign was posted in the window seeking interested buyers. Though no one expressed interest during that time, several people have sought information about buying the business since the closing sign was posted this week, Dando said.

Still, unemployment remains persistently high. The unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent last month from 7.8 percent in December. Many economists, though, focused on the steady job growth especially the healthier-than-expected hiring late last year. The Labor Department revised its estimates of job gains for November from an initial 161,000 to 247,000 and for December from 155,000 to 196,000.

The department also revised its figures for all of 2012 upward to an average of 180,000 new jobs a month from a previously estimated 150,000. “The significantly stronger payroll gains tell us the economy has a lot more momentum than what we had thought,” Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank, said in a research note.

Funding • Continued from 1 Kasich’s education advisers said no schools would see reduced funding next year under the current formula, to allow them time to adjust. A special fund with $300 million in additional money would be created to reward districts with grants for innovation and efficiency. The Republican governor’s long-awaited plan would boost districts that are lagging behind in property values and household incomes. “This is a plan that says that every student in any part of the state, regardless of what kind of district they come from, should be given the resources to be able to compete with a child across the state,â€? Kasich said. In a media conference call, Kasich was asked how the state was going to fund the increase in education funding in low-income areas without cutting funding from other areas. Kasich said lower than expected Medicaid enroll-

LOTTERY ment, increases in jobs and major state funding cuts will build back funding needed to sustain “Achievement Everywhere.� “This is not hard to figure out: If you are poor, you’re going to get more. If you are rich, you’re going to get less. If you have gifted students, you’re going to get more. If you have disabled students, you’re going to get more,� Kasich said. Kasich said the state’s low Medicaid growth is 5 percent less than private sector and plans to “bring those numbers lower� will help increase education funding. Kasich also said more than 122,000 Ohioans found employment and are generating more tax revenue. Kasich also said he believes the state has made a complete turnaround with cuts and increased revenue and expects a $1 billion “rainy day fund� for the state within two years. “That’s why people are paying attention to Ohio,� Kasich said. “I’m really, really pleased with the

reactions of all the superintendents. I think there’s been a level of surprise.� Kasich said in the media conference that he received really positive comments about the “Achievement Everywhere� plan from the more than 700 Ohio school officials who attended the meeting on Thursday. “We have been out there and been talking to a lot of superintendents, teachers and principals,� Kasich said. “No. 1, there’s no politics in this plan. What we are attempting in the plan is that every child in Ohio has an opportunity to compete and we think that’s really important.� Herman was one of the many superintendents in a standing-room-only conference room during Kasich’s presentation. Like most public school superintendents, Herman said he is cautiously optimistic about the reform. Herman said he is waiting on the proposed school district budget worksheet, which is expected to be sent out to school officials next Wednesday.

“I wanted to see a balance sheet, what does it look like,� Herman said.� When I can see numbers and compare them, I’ll know more.� Herman said the overall reaction of the school officials varied after the meeting. “When you have 700 superintendents in a room, everybody comes in with different needs — what Bethel needs is not what Troy needs, for example,� Herman said. “This is only the governor’s proposal and it still needs to go through legislation so what we saw today could look totally different on down the road.� Herman said he doesn’t plan to form a firm opinion of “Achievement Everywhere� until the state’s public school funding formula worksheets are on his desk. Herman said, “All we really want to know is ‘how does this really apply to (Troy City Schools)?’� One aspect of the plan Herman said he liked was Kasich’s proposed “Straight A Fund.� According to a

Dow • Continued from 1 And those investors, until recently, had been shying away from stocks. Since April 2011, investors have pulled more cash out of U.S. stock mutual funds than they’ve put in, according to the Investment Company Institute. In the past three weeks, though, that trend has reversed, which could make January the first month in nearly two years where stock-focused funds had a net inflow. To others, though, Dow 14,000 is nothing but a number, a sign more of how traders feel than of the economy. And it’s not even the best number on the board, some traders say. Professional investors usually pay more heed to the Standard & Poor’s main index, which tracks 500

The government frequently revises the monthly job totals as it collects more information. Sometimes the revisions can be dramatic, as in November and December. The January jobs report helped fuel a powerful rally on Wall Street. Stock averages all jumped more than 1 percent. The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 14,000 for the first time since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession officially began. Beyond the job market, the economy is showing other signs of health. Factories were busier last month than they have been since April 2012. Ford, Chrysler and General Motors all reported doubledigit sales gains for last month, their best January in five years.

media fact sheet provided by the governor’s office, the new $300 million Straight A Fund will provide onetime grants to districts to take on ambitious new strategies for helping students improve their achievement levels and increase their operational efficiency. Any savings generated through these transformations can be used by districts as they see fit, including to improve classroom instruction or make locally-generated property tax revenues go further. “I really liked the Straight A fund,â€? Herman said. “I liked some of the concepts, like the one-time grants for districts to put in place some of their ideas. If you have a great idea and can get some funds by applying for a grant to improve student success, I think it’s great. A lot of times we have some great ideas but we just don’t have the money behind it.â€? • For more information about Gov. John Kasich’s plan “Achievement Everywhere,â€? visit www. governor.ohio.gov.

Night Sky companies compared to the Dow’s 30. The Dow garners attention, they say, because it’s more familiar to the general public. Joe Gordon, managing partner at Gordon Asset Management in North Carolina, wasn’t celebrating Friday. He thinks the gains won’t last. The fact that small investors are finally piling back in the stock market, he said, is not a reason for optimism but a sign that it’s getting overhyped and due to fall. After the Dow hit its alltime record in 2007, it fell almost steadily for the next year and a half. It lost more than half its value before starting to tick back up again. “It is good trivia to talk about on television and the radio,� Gordon said, referring to the 14,000 mark.

“It’s meaningless to the average professional.� And for workers still unemployed by the financial crisis, he said, “it really means nothing to them.� If there is dissent over what Dow 14,000 signifies, what’s undeniable is that it’s a rarefied event. Before Friday, the Dow had closed above 14,000 just nine times in its history. The first time was in July 2007; the rest were in October of that year. The last time the Dow closed that mark was Oct. 12, 2007, when it settled at 14,093.08. It had reached its all-time record, 14,164.53, three days before that. For the average investor, that was all back when the stock market still seemed like a party. Housing prices were starting to ebb but

hadn’t cratered. Jobs were abundant, with unemployment at 4.7 percent compared to 7.9 percent now. Lehman Brothers still existed. So did Bear Stearns, Wachovia and Washington Mutual. The Dow ended Friday 149.21 points higher to 14,009.79. The other indexes were also up. The S&P 500 rose 15.06 to 1,513.17. The Nasdaq composite index was up 36.97 to 3,179.10. Auto sales helped. Toyota, Ford, GM and Chrysler all reported double-digit gains for January. The government jobs report that pushed stocks forward was mixed, but traders chose to focus on the positive. The U.S. said it added 157,000 jobs in January, which was in line with expectations.

Home prices have been rising steadily. Higher home values tend to make Americans feel wealthier and more likely to spend. Housing construction is recovering, too. Construction spending rose last year for the first time in six years and is expected to add 1 percentage point to economic growth this year. The housing rebound appears finally to be producing a long-awaited return of constructionindustry jobs, which have typically help drive economic recoveries. Construction companies added 28,000 jobs in January. Over the past three months, construction has added 82,000 jobs the best quarterly increase since 2006. Even with the gains, construction employment is about 2 million below its housing-bubble peak of 7.7 million in April 2006.

Health care employers added 28,000 jobs in January. Retailers added 33,000, and hotels and restaurants 17,000. The job growth in retail, hotels and restaurants suggests that employers have grown more confident about consumer spending, which fuels about 70 percent of the economy. The government uses a survey of mostly large businesses and government agencies to determine how many jobs are added or lost each month. That’s the survey that produced the gain of 157,000 jobs for January. It uses a separate survey of households to calculate the unemployment rate. That survey captures hiring by companies of all sizes, including small businesses, new companies, farm workers and the selfemployed. From month to month, the two surveys sometimes contradict each

other. Over time, the differences between them usually even out. The household survey for January found that 117,000 more Americans said they were unemployed than in December. That’s why the unemployment rate inched up from 7.8 percent to 7.9 percent. Some economists had feared that federal budget standoffs might chill spending, investing and hiring. They worried that companies wouldn’t hire and consumers would scale back spending in November and December because big spending cuts and tax increases were to take effect Jan. 1 if the White House and congressional Republicans couldn’t reach a budget deal. It turns out, the fears were overblown. In the midst of the budget fight late last year, employers kept hiring.

OHS considering local management of Johnston Farm, Lockington Locks For the Troy Daily News The Ohio Historical Society will conduct a public meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday to solicit input concerning the future management of Johnston Farm & Indian Agency in Piqua and Lockington Locks in Lockington, by the Johnston Farm Friends Council. The meeting will take place at the Piqua Public Library. The society’s board of trustees will consider a management agreement for the sites at its March meeting and seeks input from the public. The agreement would be effective April 1. This new arrangement means that while both sites will continue to be owned by the Ohio Historical Society, the dayto-day operations will be managed locally by the Friends Council. Representatives from the Ohio Historical Society and the Friends Council will be on hand to discuss the future management of the site and answer questions at Wednesday’s meeting.

PIQUA When asked about the proposed partnership, James Oda, president of the Johnston Farm Friends Council, said, “We look forward to working with the Ohio Historical Society to promote and push the significance of Johnston Farm in our community and throughout Ohio.” “The Ohio Historical Society welcomes this proposed partnership and looks forward to taking our collaboration with the Friends to a new level,” said George Kane, director of historic sites and facilities for the Ohio Historical Society. “We believe it will serve the residents of Piqua and Lockington as well as all Ohioans.” In 2004, the Piqua Historical Area Friends Council was chartered as a membership support group for advocacy and as a source for funding for the then Piqua Historical Area’s programs and special events. Since that time, the Friends Council has

grown to 250 members and assumed a greater funding role, providing nearly onefourth of the annual operational costs. This has been accomplished through sponsoring special events and securing grants. These funds have been used to make equipment purchases, support a seasonal staff position, and cover the cost of the interpretive staff as they interact with nearly 5,000 students each year. In 2010, the Friends Council led the move to rename the Piqua Historical Area to Johnston Farm & Indian Agency to better communicate the site’s identity to the public. When the Ohio Historical Society Board of Trustees approved the request, the Friends Council changed its name accordingly. During the past three years, the Johnston Farm Friends Council has been working toward the goal of becoming the site’s local management group by increasing its fund raising, becoming a not-for-profit corporation, and receiving 501(c)3 status.

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 Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky., on assisting the French in Mali: It is appropriate for France to take the lead role in its former African colony of Mali against Islamic extremists there. It is equally appropriate that the U.S. support that effort logistically. The freedom of all democratic nations is threatened by radical Islamists who have al-Qaida links. No country has been targeted more than the U.S. by these groups. Subsequently, the French fight is, by necessity, our fight as well. The weakened government in Mali has been struggling since a military coup unleashed chaos last March in the capital. In September, a convoy of extremists entered Douentza. In the following months, extremists forced women to wear veils and enlisted children as young as 12 years old as soldiers in training. The U.S. has taken an active role in helping the French, who began its mission in Mali on Jan. 11 after extremists pushed south and threatened the capital. The U.S. Air Force has flown five C-17 flights into Mali, delivering more than 80 French troops and 124 tons of equipment thus far in an ongoing airlift operation. The U.S. is also considering a French request for aerial refueling support. U.S. support of France in Mali is much needed and will hopefully help the French military run these extremists out of the region. While France has not always been the most supportive ally to the U.S. in the past, it says a lot that America is taking the high road on this most serious issue and doing all it can to provide aid and assistance to the French. San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times on the Keystone XL pipeline: After giving an unabashedly liberal inaugural address, approving a pipeline that environmental groups say will contribute greatly to global warming and possibly taint a major Midwestern aquifer would probably not be among President Barack Obama’s priorities for his second term. But the president should do so and soon, before the Republicans and the energy industry on one side and the environmentalists on the other can make it a major political issue. And it would remove a major irritant in U.S.-Canadian relations since the Canadians very much want to see it built. One by one the Obama administration’s objections to the $7 billion project, which would carry 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day from Canada’s tar sands to refineries on the Gulf Coast, have been met. Nebraska, the state that potentially could be most adversely affected by a spill from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, has signed off on the project, as have the other five states the line will cross. House Speaker John Boehner said Nebraska’s approval of the route “means there is no bureaucratic excuse, hurdle or catch President Obama can use to delay this project any further.” Actually, there is one: the State Department is reviewing the project, which was first proposed in 2008. The study is expected to approve the project in March, which would leave the administration truly out of excuses. Obama professes to be serious about climate change, but the various forms of “clean” energy have yet to be proved economically and technologically feasible on anything like the scale needed to fill America’s energy needs. Thanks to major finds of natural gas and oil, the United States is virtually energy independent and is actually exporting modest amounts of oil. Given the instability of many of the global energyproducing areas, that independence should not be surrendered lightly.

Column about toys was right on money To the Editor: I would just like to say that David Fong’s column in the Troy Daily News was right on the money regarding kids being suspended for having toy guns at schools. I understand that rules are

rules, but sometimes common sense does need to step in. Kids should not be suspended for bringing a Nerf gun to school — and they especially shouldn’t be suspended for pointing their fingers like a gun and making gun noises. To me, this is just one more example of the people in charge overstepping their bounds. I’m guessing all of these

administrators were on some sort of power trip and wanted to show “everyone who is boss.” Thank you for saying what needed to be said in the newspaper. It’s time to bring a commonsense approach back to our schools!

DOONESBURY

The case of Washington vs. ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ In "Zero Dark Thirty," CIA characters warn of congressmen coming after them for running the agency's interrogation program. As it happens, they could have said the same thing about making a movie about the agency's interrogation program. Washington is aghast at Kathryn Bigelow's fantastically compelling new film. "Zero Dark Thirty" isn't really about interrogation, although you could be forgiven for thinking so given all the debate over its scenes devoted to the agency's harsh questioning of detainees after Sept. 11. Sens. John McCain, Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin have panned the movie as inaccurate for suggesting that enhanced interrogation, or what its critics call "torture," helped find Osama bin Laden. Fine. They can slam it all they want. They can give it zero stars on their websites. They can write harsh reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. They can urge friends to go see "Silver Linings Playbook" instead. Where they have shamefully — and pathetically — overstepped their bounds is in using their positions to badger the CIA over its cooperation with the filmmakers. In December, the trio wrote the acting director of the CIA, Michael

Rich Lowry Troy Daily News Guest Columnist Morell, two heavy-breathing letters about the movie, demanding in one of them to learn everything the agency told Bigelow and her team. It's as if Bigelow were an agent of a foreign power. The casual viewer of "Zero Dark Thirty" will find it hard to see what Langley could have possibly revealed that is worth investigating. It is, at the end of the day, another Hollywood movie, even if an exceptionally good one. Did the agency's hierarchy tell Bigelow that the hunt for bin Laden was led almost exclusively by a willowy, gorgeous redhead (the protagonist Maya, played by Jessica Chastain)? That the events leading to bin Laden were easily compressed into a straight-line narrative, punctuated by conveniently cinematic dialogue? The writer of the screenplay,

— Jane Hughes Troy

Mark Boal, compares the letters to the investigations of the 1940s. That is overwrought, but if any other Hollywood production were under bipartisan attack, charges of McCarthyism would be flying thick and fast. If Bigelow were targeted by high elected officials for anything other than making a movie supposedly sympathetic to torture, the Academy would be honoring her as a martyr to the First Amendment. Bigelow upset the senators and other purveyors of polite opinion by trampling on Washington pieties about interrogation. "Zero Dark Thirty" depicts detainees subjected to enhanced interrogation as providing information — sometimes through their deceptions — that helped the CIA zero in on the man acting as bin Laden's courier. Boal told Time magazine: "If the general impression you get from this movie is that torture played a role in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, that's because that's true. That's a fact. It doesn't mean they had to torture people or that torture is necessary or torture is morally right." As his comment suggests, the movie is hardly an advertisement for harsh interrogation. It depicts the CIA program as more frankly

violent and uncontrolled than it was, confusing it with the abuses at Abu Ghraib. Detainees weren't beaten up. Interrogators didn't waterboard them on the spot for unsatisfactory answers. Even if in reality the CIA program was more antiseptic and bureaucratic than depicted, the movie leaves no doubt that breaking a man is a brutal business. That's not enough for the amateur film critics of the world's greatest deliberative body, though. They want to believe that we could have waged a shadowy war against terrorist operatives in the deadly urgent circumstances immediately after Sept. 11 without ever making difficult moral choices. For whatever reason, they are fine with flying trained killers to a compound in Pakistan in the dead of night to shoot the place up and bring bin Laden back in a sack. But they can't bear the thought that any of bin Laden's associates suffered coercive interrogations. In this case — in perhaps a first — it is Hollywood that has the greater appreciation for complexity and moral realism. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com

OBITUARIES

MIRIAM EILEEN INGLE

ELIZABETH ‘LIZA’ GRAY BENSON TROY — Elizabeth “Liza” Gray Benson, 28, resident of Jackson, Wyo., passed away suddenly in a skiing accident caused by an avalanche on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013. Liza was born on June 28, 1984, in Troy, Ohio, to proud parents Elizabeth Bravo Benson and Peter Allen Benson and older sister Adrienne. She was the granddaughter of Robert and Lucia Hobart Bravo and Libby Stover Benson of Troy; greatgranddaughter of Rachel and William Hobart, Adelaide Allen and I. Kell Stover of Troy. The family of four soon moved to Westfield, N.J., where younger brother Peter Coleman Benson made it a family of five. The Bensons moved to Columbus, Ohio, in 1990. As a little girl, Liza was a perpetual motion machine, busily keeping up with her older sister and friends. She developed a strong work ethic as an academic and started as a swimming pool attendant and guard at age 14 in Columbus. She played competitively through grade school. In high school, goalkeeping for the Upper Arlington Golden Bears women’s soccer team, Liza held the Ohio state record for the most saves in goal for many years. Seeking a better chance at college placement, Liza attended boarding school at Lawrence Academy in Groton, Mass. On the soccer field there she was selected Massachusetts All State Team for 2001, ’02 and ’03 and graduated cum laude and with an award in Latin in 2003. Her hard work and dedication paid off when Liza attended her dream-school, Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Liza continued to be a powerhouse on the soccer field as a nationally-ranked goalie for the Colby College Mules. She was selected “Devastator of the Week,” in ’05 and ’06, by the college athletic department, as well as all-state for four years. Between matches and working as an assistant athletic trainer, Liza pursued rigorous studies in biology, attaining dean’s list, and graduating with honors in June 2007. During the summers, she acted as soccer coach for kids, worked at Marine Environmental Research in Blue Hill, Maine, and later for the Nature Conservancy in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., even traveling to Mongolia for biology research. Upon graduation, Liza’s adventures began. She explored Europe, the Mediterranean and Morocco on a 36foot wooden sailboat before sailing across the Atlantic. She and the ship’s captain played very many cribbage games on the slow crossing. Her quests on the sea led to adventures in the mountains when she moved to Jackson, Wyo., with her family after her father’s demise in 2006. Liza’s focus on health and fitness triggered her interest in the medical field.

She worked first at Emerge-Care clinic in Yellowstone Park. Hired at 23 years old, she was youngest medical assistant at Teton Orthopedics. Impressed by her skills, the doctors there encouraged Liza to pursue a career in medicine. In mid-winter of 2011, Liza was accepted to the University of Washington’s Physician Assistant program (MEDEX) and awarded one of 20 seats in WWAMI, a Wyoming medical scholarship. She attended classes and clinical rotations in Seattle, Wash., before moving to Pinedale, Wyo., for rural and acute care rotations. Liza was on-track to graduate in August 2013. She held a NOLS certificate as captain for sailing, a PADI diving certificate, a certificate from EXUM mountain guides for the ascent of The Grand Teton, and AVY-I avalanche training class certificate. An adventurous athlete and compassionate healthcare worker, she won friends everywhere with her infectious smile. Liza was dedicated to squeezing the most out of life, whether it was in her classes, the ocean or on the mountains. Liza was a rare soul, bursting with youthful ardour, living life enthusiastically to the fullest each day of her short life. Liza is survived by her mother, Elizabeth Bravo Benson; sister Adrienne Benson; brother Peter Coleman Benson; and boyfriend Jason Ray of Pinedale. She is predeceased by her father, Peter Allen Benson. They and her uncles, George Benson of Casper and Kell Benson of Jackson, their wives, children and her mother’s Bravo/Hobart relatives will forever treasure her life in their memory. A memorial service was held Friday, Feb. 1, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Jackson, Wyo. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 4, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Troy, with interment to follow at Riverside Cemetery in Troy. A lunch reception at the Troy Country Club will follow the service. Arrangements are entrusted to FisherCheney Funeral Home, Troy. Condolences may be left for the family at www.fisher-cheneyfuneralhome.com. The family asks that donations be made in Liza’s name to: High Fives Foundation, benefiting athletes who have suffered a life-altering injury while pursuing their passions and hobbies (PO Box 3212, Truckee, CA 96160); Tip Top Search and Rescue (PO Box 400, Pinedale, WY, 82941); the Teton County Search and Rescue (PO Box 1063, Jackson, WY, 83001); or the Physicians’ Assistant program at the University of Washington.

COVINGTON — Miriam Eileen (Apple) Ingle, 89, Covington, Ohio, passed away Friday, Feb. 1, 2013, at her residence. Today the skies seem a little grayer and the world not quite as bright and colorful with the loss of a very gifted, talented and beautiful artist.

office to office at the Statehouse in Columbus, promoting the expansion to state lawmakers on behalf of the community mental health center for which he works. “The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land right now,” Weigly said in an interview. “We need to recognize that. And if we don’t, we’re going to put Ohio at a competitive disadvantage.” Weigly, who heads TriCounty Mental Health and Counseling Services Inc. in Athens, said expanding coverage would allow the center to see people who need treatment. Otherwise, health care professionals are forced to turn patients away. “That stresses people out and drives people out of the business,” Weigly said. The conservative Buckeye Institute think tank and the Ohio Liberty Coalition have voiced concerns over expansion. Among other problems, the groups say it’s dangerous to assume Washington will uphold their share of the cost. “If Gov. Kasich intends to implement an expansion of Medicaid, there’s likely to be a firestorm of opposition,” said Jack Painter of the Ohio Liberty Coalition.

“The state can’t afford it, and it’s doubling down on a failed program.” Painter said his coalition of 75 tea party and other related groups are waiting to see what Kasich does before taking action. The federal law expanded Medicaid to cover lowincome people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,400 a year for an individual. That provision will mainly benefit low-income adults who do not have children and currently can’t get Medicaid in most states. Separately, the overhaul provides subsidized private insurance for middle-class households. Medicaid currently covers roughly 2.3 million lowincome and disabled people in Ohio. And about 456,000 uninsured Ohioans would gain health care coverage by 2022 under the expansion, according to the study from the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, a nonpartisan policy organization. For states deciding to make Medicaid available to more people, the federal government will cover 100 percent of the cost of the first three years of the expansion, gradually phasing down to a 90 percent share still more than states have traditionally received.

Calling led pastor to found Liberty Life Church BY ANDREW WILSON For the Troy Daily News wilsonandrew83@gmail.com Throughout most of his life, Greg King knew his heart was in ministry. However, the pastor of Liberty Life Church in Tipp City didn’t pursue his passion until 2004. The Laura resident spent the previous 15 years working as an electrician and gaining experience in the residential, commercial and industrial areas of the field. Such projects included the rewiring of plastic mold injection machines to wiring commercial buildings and homes. King also served as a lead electrician and job foreman for many years. But in 2004, in addition to his duties as an electrician, King became a youth pastor for the first time at the Liberty Church and Academy. The place served as a church as well as a school and had a “good size” youth group, according to King. Four years later, King began his next ministry opportunity at Valleyview Church in Englewood. Although Valleyview had a relatively small congregation, King managed to bring in youth from other towns. Before he knew it,

Liberty Life also holds Sunday School classes and offers an array of ministries, such as a men’s group, a women’s group, a children’s group that consists of kids ranging from age 4-11, mentorship group for men and an outreach program that offers dinners and clothes to persons in the community. King has plans to complete many projects around the building, including relocating the sound booth that sits adjacent to the worship room and repainting several rooms. Most importantly, King and his wife will continue their true passion of ministry and serving the community in the proper fashion. “Ministry is not for the faint of heart,” King said. “Ministry is something that you have to be called to to succeed in, and you have to want to do it, because if you’re in it for position, status, prestige, income, you’re in the wrong business. And I’ve watched that happen to too many people in ministry, I’m in this position, I have this title, this badge, but it doesn’t last very long.”

TIPP CITY King was providing ministry to a youth group of approximately 40 kids, which was bigger than the church’s congregation of approximately 30 people at the time. “It was just something really, really special, something really personal, a real relation with God that kept the youth coming,” King explained. of the Members Valleyview youth group participated in youth group sessions that were run like church services, with kids enjoying a meal prepared by King’s wife Terri, followed by a praise and worship session that included a praise band. Following the worship sessions, King would give a word that preceded a prayer by the kids. After a debilitating work injury in 2009, King felt called to take another step in his spiritual journey. King said people wondered why he wanted to leave Valleyview, but God put it on his heart to do so. He had some naysayers, but he felt called to do so. The name “Liberty Life” comes from the school he used to have. “It means the life we

After receiving a tip about a vacant church building, King went to check out the building on North Fourth Street in Tipp City. While starting a church in the empty building was an option, King was unimpressed by a number of things, including a lack of pews in the would-be sanctuary, along with dirt and a lack of space. But as he walked out the door, he noticed another church down the street at North Fourth and Plum. Although the two-story building was occupied by another church, the Upper Room Faith Assembly,

King still considered it. After a brief talk, Upper Room Faith Assembly members worked out a rental agreement with Liberty Life Church members on Feb. 26, 2011, where they would both use the space by holding their services at different time. Upper Room members even allowed the Kings to use all of the materials that were in the church at the time. “They let us use everything,” King said. “Office, all of their equipment, it was really very, very generous, they stressed how they wanted to be kingdom-minded and do things the way God wants it done.” But when the Upper Room moved to a new

building this summer, Liberty Life became sole resident of the building on the corner. Today, the church conducts a contemporary worship service on Sundays at 11 a.m., which King calls non-denominational and “charismatic,” meaning that they believe in the spiritual gifts but are not Pentecostal. Furthermore, King stated that the church is special due to the peace attendees feel when they come to a service at Liberty Life Church. “People come into this church, and we hear, ‘we really feel a strong sense of peace in this place, it feels very friendly, it feels • For more information very warm and it just feels about the church, visit very happy in here,”’ King Facebook under “Liberty said.

Healthier schools: Goodbye candy, greasy snacks WASHINGTON (AP) — Goodbye candy bars and sugary cookies. Hello baked chips and diet sodas. The government for the first time is proposing broad new standards to make sure all foods sold in schools are more healthful, a change that would ban the sale of almost all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus. Under new rules the Department of Agriculture proposed Friday, school vending machines would start selling water, lowercalorie sports drinks, diet sodas and baked chips instead. Lunchrooms that now sell fatty “a la carte” items like mozzarella sticks and nachos would have to switch to healthier pizzas, low-fat hamburgers, fruit cups and yogurt. The rules, required under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, are part of the government’s effort to combat childhood obesity. While many schools already have made improvements in their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still are selling highfat, high-calorie foods. Under the proposal, the Agriculture Department would set fat, calorie, sugar

Side salads, apple sauce and plums await the students of Eastside Elementary School in Clinton, Miss., Sept. 12, 2012 The government for the first time is proposing broad new standards to make school snacks healthier, a move that would ban the sale of almost all candy, high-calorie sports drinks and greasy foods on campus. and sodium limits on almost all foods sold in schools. Current standards already regulate the nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that are subsidized by the federal government, but most lunch rooms also have “a la carte” lines that sell other foods. And food sold through vending machines and in

other ways outside the lunchroom has not been federally regulated. “Parents and teachers work hard to instill healthy eating habits in our kids, and these efforts should be supported when kids walk through the schoolhouse door,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. Most snacks sold in

school would have to have less than 200 calories. Elementary and middle schools could sell only water, low-fat milk or 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice. High schools could sell some sports drinks, diet sodas and iced teas, but the calories would be limited. Drinks would be limited to 12-ounce portions in middle

schools, and 8-ounce portions in elementary schools. The standards will cover vending machines, the “a la carte” lunch lines, snack bars and any other foods regularly sold around school. They would not apply to in-school fundraisers or bake sales, though states have the power to regulate them. The new guidelines also would not apply to after-school concessions at school games or theater events, goodies brought from home for classroom celebrations, or anything students bring for their own personal consumption. The new rules are the latest in a long list of changes designed to make foods served in schools more healthful and accessible. Nutritional guidelines for the subsidized lunches were revised last year and put in place last fall. The 2010 child nutrition law also provided more money for schools to serve free and reduced-cost lunches and required more meals to be served to hungry kids. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat, has been working for two decades to take junk foods out of schools. He calls the availability of unhealthful foods around campus a “loophole” that

undermines the taxpayer money that helps pay for the healthier subsidized lunches. “USDA’s proposed nutrition standards are a critical step in closing that loophole and in ensuring that our schools are places that nurture not just the minds of American children but their bodies as well,” Harkin said. Last year’s rules faced criticism from some conservatives, including some Republicans in Congress, who said the government shouldn’t be telling kids what to eat. Mindful of that backlash, the Agriculture Department exempted inschool fundraisers from federal regulation and proposed different options for some parts of the rule, including the calorie limits for drinks in high schools, which would be limited to either 60 calories or 75 calories in a 12-ounce portion. The department also has shown a willingness to work with schools to resolve complaints that some new requirements are hard to meet. Last year, for example, the government relaxed some limits on meats and grains in subsidized lunches after school nutritionists said they weren’t working.

We have to ask her to do things, just as we would a child, and then she responds as if we're scolding her. Mom is only 54 and has no medical or physical problems that would keep her from working. She has worked, but can't keep a job. When her husband died, she lost everything because she never bothered to ask for help or advice. She believes that God will make a way for her. I have no problem with that, but God expects you to be willing to take the first step forward. We don't want her on the street, obviously, and will continue to let her stay here. But we have no privacy and require extended trips just to feel normal. How do we encourage her to move on? — Need Motherin-Law Help Dear Need: Mom is too young to be so useless around the house. Does she have mental health issues? Adult Attention Deficit Disorder might explain why she has so much trouble keeping a job. But regardless, she is not going to do anything about it if you and your wife don't set some rules and stick to them. Even volunteer work would give Mom a sense of purpose and a place to go every day. Your wife needs to be frank with her mother, saying that she loves her but needs her to contribute to the household in some form. Insist that she get counseling as a condition of staying, and your wife should ask to go with her for the first session to explain the issues to the counselor. Dear Annie: Two years ago, my wife developed breast cancer. The cancer was removed, and we've been told she will be fine. We have been married for 41 years, and I am hoping for another 41. I love my wife more than words can say. Since her brush with cancer, I have noticed that things that once might have incited a "discussion" no longer seem to matter. And I have discovered a number of maladies of my own. I have, for instance, become "deaf" to certain things in our marriage. For instance, she used to say "you know" a lot. You know? Now I am just thrilled to hear her voice. Blindness has also invaded our house. Neither of us notices the petty annoyances that used to bug us. Our marriage is better now that we don't see so well. We both have lost our ability to talk, as well. Once in a while, certain words — hurtful words — used to be thrown around carelessly. But now, neither one of us has the ability to say such things anymore. And I had no idea that cancer could make a person forgetful. I can no longer recall any of my wife's faults. One thing that has not been affected, though, is my heart. It still races when I see her. It still flutters when I hear her voice. And it still skips a beat when we kiss. Why must we wait until it is almost too late to appreciate what we have — and could have lost? — A Little Wiser Dear Wiser: We love this. Your words should remind all couples of what is truly important. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with our readers. Dear Annie: I have another suggestion for "Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet." A good place to meet folks is at a bowling alley. We have a lot of fun at our local one. They offer bowling, coffee and some prizes. It's not a regular league, just a fun time. He should check it out. It includes folks of all ages, although most range from 50 to 80. — Bowler from Florida Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple good deeds can help protect environment Dear Heloise: Magazine articles and news reports of the oceanic zone of massive plastic trash and the effects on animals and people who depend on the water are heartbreaking. I keep rubber gloves and a bucket that once held dog food as my recycle bin in the trunk of my car. When I stop somewhere like a carwash, park or store and see discarded recyclable products, such as bottles, cans and shopping bags, I collect them, take them home and add them to my recycling. If the object appears dubious, it is left alone. It is a small attempt in a

Hints from Heloise Columnist journey of years and miles to try to correct the damage and associated consequences of years. Mother Nature has been kind; the favor must be reciprocated before it is too late. — Margarette in Texas Small good deeds add up! Thank you for your effort. — Heloise

EASY-CHAIR COVER Dear Heloise: I have some chairs that have fabric seats. They are stained and look terrible, but I want to keep them in my office area. They didn’t look very good when I cleaned them. So, I thought, why not just cover the stained areas with seat cushions? You can buy them at any discount store. I found some that matched my decor, and they easily attached to the chair. — Janice R., El Paso, Texas Everyone has stains that require work to remove. I have compiled a pamphlet with many of my favorite cleaning

solutions. It breaks down which cleaners work best for which stain, and also what they are made from. To receive a copy of this great pamphlet, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Stains, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. There are cleaning solutions that should not be mixed together. One very important hint is to NEVER mix chlorine bleach and ammonia. This actually can be lethal if the fumes are strong enough and enough are inhaled. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be preoccupied with issues about taxes, debt, shared property or inheritances. Do what you can to clear up loose details in these areas. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This simply requires a little compromise and tolerance. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Do what you can to feel more on top of your scene. Work to get better organized on your job and at home. (You’ll love yourself for this later.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a very pleasant day for you, because the Moon fits beautifully with your sign. It’s a great day to party, schmooze, enjoy sports, vacations or playful times with children. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If you can cocoon at home today, you will enjoy some private time just for you to ruminate and ponder the finer things of life. Try to take this day off. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A busy day! You have your to-do list, and you intend to get things done. Short trips and discussions with siblings and relatives likely will be on your list as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might identify strongly with something that you own today, which is why you won’t feel like sharing or lending anything. You have a strong desire to be among familiar things. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This day is a bit luckier for you than other days. However, it’s also a more emotional day. Ask the universe for a favor. (Why not?) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Work alone or behind the scenes today, because this is what will please you most. Your daily routine has kept you busy, and you need some downtime. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A conversation with a female acquaintance, especially in a group setting, will be meaningful to you today. Someone might provoke you into rethinking your goals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Conversations with people in authority might blur the lines of friendship and professionalism because your emotions are involved. Be careful what you say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Do something different today. Break from your routine. Take a different route to or from your job, or talk to people from different backgrounds. You want to expand your world! YOU BORN TODAY You are a perfectionist who pays painstaking attention to detail. Many of you develop a special technique, which, of course, you perfect. You have excellent timing and can be entertaining. You’re also very realistic about life, although you exude an easygoing attitude. (You also are quite lucky.) In the year ahead, your focus will be on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Blythe Danner, actress; Nathan Lane, actor; Norman Rockwell artist/illustrator.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 2, 1913, New York City’s rebuilt Grand Central Terminal officially opened to the public at one minute past midnight. On this date: In 1653, New Amsterdam, now New York City, was incorporated.

In 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican-American War, was signed. In 1887, Punxsutawney, Pa., held its first Groundhog Day festival. In 1943, the remainder of Nazi forces from the Battle of Stalingrad surrendered in a major victory for the Soviets in World War II. In 1971, Idi Amin, having seized power in Uganda, proclaimed himself president.

Ten years ago: The search continued for pieces of the space shuttle Columbia, a day after the spacecraft disintegrated during re-entry over Texas, killing all seven astronauts. One year ago: Egyptian security forces clashed with stone-throwing protesters enraged by the failure of police to prevent a soccer riot that killed 74 people. Donald Trump announced his endorsement of Republican Mitt Romney for president.

Suicide bomber kills guard at embassy in Turkey ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack. Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds. Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants. The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism. “We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassy’s outer security perimeter,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney. “A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror,” he said. “It is a terrorist attack.” Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said police believe the bomber was connected to a domestic leftist militant group. Carney, however, said the motive for the attack and who was behind it was not known. A Turkish TV journalist was seriously wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital, and two other guards had lighter

The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the entrance of the visa section of the embassy. wounds, officials said. The state-run Anadolu Agency identified the bomber as Ecevit Sanli. It said the 40-yearold Turkish man was a member of the outlawed Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, which has claimed responsibility for assassinations and bombings since the 1970s.

The group has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States but had been relatively quiet in recent years. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her farewell speech to State Department staff moments after she formally resigned as secretary of state, said “we were attacked and lost one of our for-

eign service nationals.” She said she spoke with U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone, “our team there and my Turkish counterpart. I told them how much we valued their commitment and their sacrifice.” Sen. John Kerry, the incoming secretary of state, also was briefed. The U.S. Embassy building in Ankara is heavily protected and located near several other embassies, including those of Germany and France. U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey have been targeted previously by terrorists. In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaidaaffiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead. On Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked a U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The attackers in Libya were suspected to have ties to Islamist extremists, and one is in custody in Egypt. Friday’s bombing occurred at a security checkpoint at the side entrance to the U.S. Embassy, which is used by staff. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said a man detonated a suicide vest at the checkpoint on the outer perimeter of the embassy compound. “He came to this first point of access to the compound … where you have to have your ID

At palace, Egypt protesters, police clash CAIRO (AP) — Protesters denouncing Egypt’s Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates on Friday, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Morsi’s symbolic doorstep for the first time. The streets outside the presidential palace were a scene of mayhem for hours into the night.

Security forces pumped volley after volley of tear gas, set fire to protester tents and at one point dragged a protester to the ground, stripped him and beat him. Protesters burned tires and hurled stones and fireworks. A 23-year-old died when he was shot in the chest and forehead, the Health Ministry said. The march on the palace, where Morsi was not present, was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called

by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots. But many of the protesters go further, saying he must be removed from office, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of monopolizing power and failing to deal with the country’s mounting woes. Many have been further angered by Morsi’s praise of the security forces after the high death toll, which is widely

blamed on excessive use of force by the police. The day’s unrest, however, risked boosting attempts by the government and Brotherhood to taint the opposition as violent and destructive a tack Morsi supporters have taken for weeks. In a statement issued amid the clashes, Morsi accused protesters of trying to break ito the palace and said “political fores involved in incitement” are responsible for the violence.

checked, you have to go through security,” Nuland said. The guard who was killed was standing outside the checkpoint, while the two wounded guards “were standing in a more protected area,” said Interior Minister Muammer Guler said. The two were treated on the scene and did not require hospital treatment, he said. “The level of security protection at our facility in Ankara ensured that there were not significantly more deaths and injuries than there could have been,” Nuland told reporters in Washington. “This is one of the compounds where we have been making steady security upgrades over the last decade,” Nuland said. “And in fact, the attack was at one of the exterior compound access sites. So it was far from the main building, and it was a result of the way that was hardened that we only lost the one local security guard. And in fact, there were other security guards inside the building behind the glass who were only shaken up by this.” While praising its security and the response of Turkish authorities, Nuland noted that the embassy in Ankara is due for a completely new compound in future. She described the current main building as a 1950s complex that “needs a full upgrade.” The Hurriyet newspaper said staff at the embassy took shelter in a “safe room” inside the compound soon after the explosion.

Eagles rout Cavs Tipp wins in OT Staff Reports TROY — With one week before the tournament draw, and basically two games to go before reporting records for seeding, Troy Christian wanted to add a couple more wins to its resume. One down, one to go. The Eagles (15-2) held Lehman to two third-quarter points Friday night and had three players in double figures themselves, turning a 30-25 halftime lead into a 60-40 blowout — the first win over Lehman in Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki’s tenure.

MIAMI COUNTY “At the half, we talked about what we had to do to stop them, and the kids went into serious lockdown mode in the third quarter,” Zawadzki said. “We didn’t let Lehman run any of its sets. We forced them so far away from the basket.” Christian Salazar led the Eagles with 17 points, Spencer Thomas scored 13 and Grant Zawadzki returned from an injury and added 12. “We were very aggressive offensively and attacked the tin, which led to us shooting 58 percent as a group,” Zawadzki said. Troy Christian travels to Houston tonight. Lehman — 40 Richard 4-0-11, Huse 1-0-2, Frantz 22-6, Jacobs 2-1-5, Spearman 2-2-6, Westerheide 3-0-8, Rego 1-0-2. Totals: 15-5-40.

Too much Trotwood Rams dominate both ends, top Trojans 80-30

Troy sweeps Piqua Staff Reports

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com

PIQUA — Troy returned to Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division action on Friday at Brel-Aire Lanes to sweep rival Piqua for the second time this season. The boys team bested the Indians by a 2,3632,062 count, while the girls won by a 1,888-1,760 margin.

Talent can only take a team so far — farther than most with the kind of talent Trotwood possesses. But with a little motivation, that distance grows exponentially. And the Troy Trojans swept the Rams last season to win the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title — a fact the Rams remember very clearly. “I’m sure coach (Rocky) Rockhold made a point of that this week,” Troy TROY coach Tim Miller said. “That we had to sweep them to go 10-0 and win the league title last year.” Trotwood — the No. 8 team in the state in Division II — held the Trojans to two first-half field goals and built an enormous lead then never let up, having four players reach double figures offensively in an 80-30 victory over Troy at the Trojan Activities Center Friday night. Troy (3-15, 3-5 GWOC North), which lost to Trotwood by 26 on the road in the teams’ first meeting this season, may have still been stinging from a disappointing double-overtime loss at Butler the week prior — and it may have gotten to the Trojans throughout the week.

McGraw won his first match by an 18-3 technical fall over Xenia’s Trever Jackson, then scored a pin in the second round to end the day at 2-0.

Browns fans brace selves as Modell is up for Hall of Fame CLEVELAND (AP) — For countless Browns fans, time has not healed. Art Modell’s move remains an open wound. And even in death, he torments them. Modell, the late Cleveland owner credited with helping the NFL grow in prominence but MODELL whose decision to relocate his franchise to Baltimore 17 years ago obscures his accomplishments, is one of 15 finalists up for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Modell’s case for induc-

tion — he was also a finalist in 2002 — could spark the liveliest debate in New Orleans on Saturday among 46 Hall of Fame committee members, who will select between four and seven new members on the eve of the Ravens meeting the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. His supporters contend Modell helped create America’s most popular sport. His detractors will never forget one despicable deed.

“It would be a terrible thing for the NFL if he ever got in,” said Michelle DiBartolo, president of Canton’s chapter of the Browns Backers, a worldwide fan club of more than 100,000. “I haven’t met one Browns fan who said he deserves it. Anyway, he doesn’t have the qualifications. How do you put Art Modell next to Paul Brown? That blows my mind.” Modell will be considered for enshrinement along with coach Bill Parcells, former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., single-season sacks leader Michael Strahan, offensive linemen Jonathan Ogden

and Larry Allen, defensive tackle Warren Sapp, running back Jerome Bettis, wide receivers Cris Carter — a former Troy resident — Tim Brown and Andre Reed, defensive standouts Charles Haley and Kevin Greene, guard Will Shields and defensive back Aeneas Williams. Also up for consideration, two senior nominees: defensive tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson. The inclusion of Modell on this year’s ballot has provided another subplot to this year’s Super Bowl, which has had no shortage of juicy story lines. The Ravens’ unexpected run to

the championship game has been, in part, fueled by the team dedicating its season to Modell. Baltimore’s players have worn patches with “Art” on their jerseys to honor Modell, who died on Sept. 6 just four days ahead of the opener. There’s no denying Modell’s impact on the game. As Browns owner in the 1960s, he was involved in negotiating TV contracts that brought the NFL into more of the nation’s living rooms and eventually spawned “Monday Night Football,” an institution Modell helped create as the league’s broadcast chair-

man. Before the move, Modell was adored by Cleveland’s players and fans, who watched him agonize with them over every dropped pass and missed tackle while sitting in his owner’s box high above the field inside cavernous Municipal Stadium. His many missteps: firing Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown; hastening legendary running back Jim retirement Brown’s because of a contract dispute; trading wide receiver Paul Warfield; signing free agent Andre Rison; financial losses, went mostly overlooked — or were at least forgiven.

Super Bowl XLVII: Who will win? Why the 49ers

Why the Ravens BY DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BY JANIE MCCAULEY AP Sports Writer NEW ORLEANS — Colin Kaepernick is a mystery man under center, a strong-armed passer one moment and a 25-year-old kid who can run right out of the pocket for a huge gain the next. Baltimore must brace for the unexpected on every snap in Sunday’s Super Bowl. There’s flashy Michael Crabtree on the edges and Vernon Davis down the middle, Frank Gore and LaMichael James clogging things up in the running game. The creative, switch-itup San Francisco offense sure keeps opposing defenses guessing. The 49ers hope to do it again at the Superdome, when the Ravens will face an array of looks from Jim Harbaugh’s team. “With Kaepernick, it’s like pick your poison,” Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice said. “Are you going to try to shut down that pistol and not let him get outside, where you’ve got Frank Gore and LaMichael James going downhill? Then, Crabtree and Vernon Davis on the outside. I think the secondary of Baltimore, right there in the middle, is where they’re going to get exposed. … If you double team Crabtree, it’s going to be Vernon Davis. If you get Crabtree one on one — for some reason he’s playing with a swagger right now that’s unbelievable.” Kaepernick has shown two drastically different styles in two postseason games. What he’ll show the Ravens is anybody’s guess. In a 45-31 rout of the Packers in the divisional round, Kaepernick ran for a quarterback playoff record 181 yards and two touchdowns and also threw for 263 yards with two TD passes to Michael Crabtree. A week later at Atlanta, everything looked different in a 28-24 win that sent San Francisco to its first Super Bowl in 18 years.

On the rest of your life.” PREDICTION: tight ends, running backs, 49ers 31, Ravens 27. you have to remember we

NEW ORLEANS — Fear the dreadlocks, San Francisco. Torrey Smith just might be the difference in a Super Bowl that will hinge on the 49ers’ ability to prevent the Baltimore Ravens from scoring with the long ball. You might remember Smith from that playoff game in Denver on Jan. 12. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey sure does. Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowl star, watched the dreadlocks flapping from the back of Smith’s helmet as he chased the speedy wide receiver into the end zone on touchdown catches of 59 and 32 yards. Oh, and let’s not forget that Baltimore forced overtime in that game on a 70yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left. The Ravens have 17 pass completions of at least 40 yards this season, six of them involving Smith. Sometimes, Smith runs deep just to free up wideout Anquan Boldin or tight end Dennis Pitta or running back Ray Rice underneath, leaving Flacco a variety of viable targets. “It all depends,” said Smith, the speedy receiver from Maryland. “It’s not like they say, ‘Hey Torrey, just run straight down the field’ all the time. Some of it is scheme-wise to open other guys up. Against certain coverages, I have certain responsibilities. We do attack vertically. That’s a strength of ours, and I’m one of the guys that they definitely use to do that.” Combine all that with a San Francisco defense that gave up 396 yards passing to Atlanta’s Matt Ryan in the NFC title game, and it could add up to a very long night for the 49ers. “Joe Flacco, he’s playing excellent football right now,” former 49ers star receiver Jerry Rice said. “You’ve got Torrey Smith and also Anquan Boldin on the outside, and passes over 18 yards. They targeted Torrey Smith 109 times. So they’re not afraid to throw the ball deep. The secondary of the San Francisco

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis struts and yells as he is introduced before a game against the Cincinnati Bengals Sept. 7, 2008 in Baltimore. 49ers, they have had problems with the deep ball, so they can’t let these guys run free.” The 49ers know this. Whether they can prevent Smith & Co. from breaking loose is another story. Rice is also a threat — he caught 61 passes for 478 yards during the regular season. “I think No. 1, you’ve got one (receiver) that’s got track speed that will take the top off your defense, so he’s going to draw some attention,” San Francisco cornerback Carlos Rogers said. “Anquan is a very physical guy. He doesn’t go deep as much as Torrey, but he’s got the ability to. He’s just got that connection, strong arm guy, physical guy, so it’s going to be a challenge with him, too. “We’re challenged at every position. The tight end in the red zone, he’s got a connection, too. Ray Rice out of the backfield, people don’t look at that, but when you break down film, he continues to make linebackers look silly and break yards. … So everybody on our side of the ball has their hands full with those guys.” On the other side of the ball, the Ravens’ defense will be poised to hitch their

emotions to middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the final stage of his last ride into retirement. The 37year-old announced before Baltimore’s first playoff game that he would quit when the Ravens ended their run, and since that time they’ve been played their best football of the year. So has Lewis. He has a team-high 44 tackles during the playoffs after missing the previous 10 games with a torn right triceps. “They’re going to be up,” San Francisco running back Frank Gore said. “Ray Lewis means a lot to that organization. He’s been playing the game for a long time, he’s probably the best at his position and guys love him.” Unless Kaepernick runs wild or connects repeatedly with Randy Moss, the selfproclaimed “greatest receiver ever to play this game,” then big brother John Harbaugh will be the one smiling when shaking hands with little brother Jim, San Francisco’s coach, as purple and black confetti falls from the roof of the Superdome. PREDICTION: Ravens 24, 49ers 20.

Goodell aims to share blame on player safety NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to share the blame. “Safety,” he said at his annual Super Bowl news conference, “is all of our responsibilities.” Not surprisingly, given that thousands of former players are suing the league about its handling of concussions, the topics of player health and improved safety dominated Goodell’s 45-minute session Friday. And he often sounded like someone seeking to point out that players or others are

at fault for some of the sport’s problems — and need to help fix them. “I’ll stand up. I’ll be accountable. It’s part of my responsibility. I’ll do everything,” Goodell said. “But the players have to do it. The coaches have to do it. Our officials have to do it. Our medical professionals have to do it.” Injuries from hits to the head or to the knee, Goodell noted, can result from improper tackling techniques used by players and taught by coaches. The NFL Players Association needs to allow

testing for human growth hormone to go forward so it can finally start next season, which Goodell hopes will happen. He said prices for Super Bowl tickets have soared in part because fans re-sell them above face value. And asked what he most rues about the New Orleans Saints bounty case — a particularly sensitive issue around these parts, of course — Goodell replied: “My biggest regret is that we aren’t all recognizing that this is a collective responsibility to get (bounties) out of the game,

to make the game safer. Clearly the team, the NFL, the coaching staffs, executives and players, we all share that responsibility. That’s what I regret, that I wasn’t able to make that point clearly enough with the union.” He addressed other subjects, such as improving the Rooney Rule after none of 15 recently open coach or general manager jobs went to a minority candidate; using next year’s Super Bowl in New Jersey as a test for future cold-weather, outdoor championship games; and

saying he welcomed President Barack Obama’s recent comments expressing concern about football’s violence because “we want to make sure that people understand what we’re doing to make our game safer.” Goodell mentioned some upcoming changes, including the plan to add independent neurologists to sidelines to help with concussion care during games — something players have asked for and the league opposed until now. “The No. 1 issue is: Take the head out of the

game,” Goodell said. “I think we’ve seen in the last several decades that players are using their head more than they had when you go back several decades.” He said one tool the league can use to cut down on helmet-to-helmet hits is suspending players who keep doing it. “We’re going to have to continue to see discipline escalate, particularly on repeat offenders,” Goodell said. “We’re going to have to take them off the field. Suspension gets through to them.”

Troy’s Andrew Kostecka cradles an opponent Friday night during the GWOC Tournament at Butler High School.

GWOC ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Anthony Grayson. is still “Kevin wrestling solid,” Troy coach Doug Curnes said. “He’s going to have a horse (in his next matchup), this kid from Trotwood (Anthony) Grayson. The kid is big and strong, weight-lifting strong. Kevin is a strong wrestler in terms of leveraging and things like that. He’s a strong kid, too. “We want to see him go deeper. The losses on his record have been where he has had to go go deeper into the rounds, and he’s got to be able to withstand that and stay tough in those situations. We think this kind of match is going to be good for Kevin. But as far as (today) he is going to try to go deep, shut the kid down and try stay as dominate as he can. We would like for him to be able to face the Centerville kid (Garrett Conner) in the finals.” As for Dalton, he spent little time on the mat Friday night, winning his first- and second-round matchups by first-round pinfall. “Just based on the bracket, and how he matched up, it’s never an easy in, but the reality of the fact is, we knew who

Troy’s Kevin McGraw controls an opponent Friday at Butler High School. we were dealing with — and we thought he had a good chance,” Curnes said. “All day at school, I was just waiting to come to here wrestle, I guess,” Dalton said. “I have just been preparing pretty hard this week, just finetuning some things. With the state duals on Wednesday, it kind of got me hyped from a team aspect. When we came in here today, we knew we would have to wrestle twice. You just have to make sure you get those wins so we could come back here and wrestle in the winners bracket. “This kind of gets you ready for sectionals in two weeks, so like coach says, ‘you don’t want to peak

right now.’ But my goal right now is to win the GWOC Tournament as a junior, then come back here next year and win it again.” Dalton is the No. 2 seed in the 285 class behind Springfield’s Aaron Cosby, who advanced to the semis, as well. And Dalton made it clear he wants another shot at him. And today, he may get his shot. Mason Perkins (126) won his first-round match, while Logan Schlosser (160) and Andrew Kostecka (220) scored first-round pins. But in the second round, they were all defeated. All three will compete in the consolation rounds today.

They had us outmanned at every position.” Trotwood (14-2, 7-0) began the game on a 9-0 run before a Tyler Miller steal and layup, then the Rams scored the next 10 unanswered and closed the half on a 19-0 run to go up 44-8. The Trojans turned the ball over 17 times in the half, with Jamar Hammonds four times and Dazhontae Bennett once turning those into transition dunks. “They locked us up on defense in the full court and half court, and they ended up with a lot of easy baskets coming from steals,” Miller said. Bennett finished with a game-high 25 points — 14 coming in the second quarter — while Hammonds added 16 points and six assists. Ravonn Lovett (15 points,

Northridge 74, Milton-Union 64 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union fell to 6-4 in the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division game with a 74-64 loss to Northridge at home Friday. Northridge has won seven of its last eight games, but the Bulldogs hung close for most of the way, trailing by nine at the end of the second and by 10 going into the fourth quarter. MiltonUnion coach Rusty Berner gave Northridge credit after the game, but admitted his team’s defense needed work. “We gave up 74 points … that’s not characteristic of us,” Berner said. “We didn’t play with the sense of urgency that we need to play with. We didn’t come ready to play on the defensive end.” Trevor Klosterman led Milton with 27 points and Caleb Poland added 15.

FM 46, ME 34 CASSTOWN — After a shakeup earlier in the week cost Miami East its leading scorer, the Vikings hosted a tough Franklin Monroe team and just didn’t have the firepower needed on both ends of the floor in a 4634 Cross County Conference loss. “We didn’t play bad. We just didn’t play good enough — especially against a physical team like that,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “We did play hard and played pretty well defensively, but we could not score very well and fell a little bit more behind each quarter.” A.J. Hickman led the Vikings with 12 points and eight rebounds and Luke House added eight points. The Vikings host Graham tonight.

Mickelson misses 36-hole record SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Mickelson made a mess of his final hole in the second round of the Phoenix Open, costing him another shot at history. A day after his putt for a 59 curled 180 degrees and stay out, Lefty missed a chance to break the PGA Tour’s 36-hole scoring

record Friday when he finished with a double bogey. “You always remember kind of the last hole, the last putt,” Mickelson said. “But I think it’s very possible that’s going to help me because it’s got me refocused, that I cannot ease up on a single shot. I’ve got to be really focused. These

guys are going to make a lot of birdies and I’ve got to get after it and cannot make those kinds of mistakes.” Mickelson followed his opening 60 with a 65 to reach 17-under 125, a stroke off the tour record for the first two rounds of a tournament set by Pat

Perez in the 2009 Bob Hope Classic and matched by David Toms at Colonial in 2011. “Unfortunately, I made a double on the last hole and didn’t finish the way I wanted to,” Mickelson said. “But I think it’s a good example of what can happen on this course.”
