Obama weighs in on issues Says Scouts should allow gays, women in combat See iN75 in this Wednesday

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts and women should be allowed in military combat roles, weighing in on two storied American institutions facing proposals to end long-held

exclusions. The president’s comments in a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS come ahead of this week’s meeting of the Boy Scouts’ national executive board. A proposal to open up the Scouts’ membership to gays is expected to be discussed

and possibly voted on at the gathering in Texas. The Boy Scouts emphatically reaffirmed the no-gays policy just seven months ago, but announced last week they were considering changing the stance. Instead of mandatory exclusion of gays, the

different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue either maintaining the exclusion or opening up their membership.

Vet charged with killing former SEAL STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — An Iraq War veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and a friend turned a gun on the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities said Sunday. Eddie Ray Routh, of Lancaster, was arraigned early Sunday in the deaths of Kyle, who wrote the best-selling book “American Sniper,” and Chad Littlefield, 35. They were killed at a shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Travis Cox, the director of a nonprofit Kyle helped found, told The Associated Press on Sunday that Kyle, 38, and Littlefield had taken Routh to the range to try to help him. Littlefield was Kyle’s neighbor and “workout buddy,” Cox said. See Page 9.

already have and love; what you want or want more of; and what you’re drawn to — the subconscious.” For example, one man added a picture of a watch, showing that “time is ticking” as well as the fact that he simply liked the watch. “It’s the law of attraction — once you get a picture of what you want, those things will flow into your life,” Riesenbeck said. Her second workshop,

slated for March 21 at Harmony Farm, will focus on how to be more intentional in life, rather than being a bystander. Helping people get “unstuck” is a cornerstone of life coaching and also a struggle that many people have. “Career is a really big thing,” Riesenbeck said. “I have a client who likes his job but isn’t making a lot of money in this economy. I’m asking questions and digging deep to find out if he really loves his job, what he likes about it and what else he could do.”

She says she prefers to work with individuals on an ongoing session, typically at least six to eight sessions, as “you didn’t get to where you’re at overnight.” “I want people to know if you’re bored, unhappy or stuck, that’s normal. I feel that way too,” she said. “It’s about awareness and taking the steps to move away from that, and doing what’s going to make you happy and excited.” For more information on her practice, visit www.jessicariesenbeck.com.

Obama • CONTINUED FROM A1 The White House said in a statement last August that Obama opposed the gay ban. Obama, like presidents for the last century, serves as honorary president of the group. The president’s comment Sunday was his first since the group announced it was considering a policy change. “My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life,” Obama said. “The Scouts are a great institution that are promoting young people and exposing them to opportunities and leadership that will serve people for the rest of their lives. And I think nobody should be barred from that.” Obama also had previously issued a statement supporting the Pentagon’s decision last month to open up front-line combat jobs to women, but the interview with CBS’ Scott Pelley included his first publicly spoken comments on the matter since the announcement. He said women are already serving in combat “as a practical matter.” “When they’re in theater in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, they are vulnerable,” he said. “They are wounded, and they’ve been killed. And they have carried out their jobs with extraordinary patriotism

and distinction.” The policy change overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units, and is expected to open up more than 230,000 combat positions that have been off limits to women. Obama said he meets “extraordinary women in uniform who can do everything that a man can and more.” He gave the example of one of his military aides, who he estimated is only about 5 feet tall and 100 pounds. “You put a 50-pound pack on her, and she can do things that you or me would keel over doing. And so the truth is that women are serving. They are taking great risks. What we should not do is somehow prevent them from advancing in an institution that we all revere.” On the economy, Obama said although more revenue has to be raised to reduce the deficit, it can be done without raising income tax rates again. He said the answer is “smart spending cuts,” reducing waste in the health care system and closing loopholes and deductions like offshore tax havens that benefit a few high income earners but not most Americans. “There’s no doubt we need additional revenue coupled with smart spend-

ing reductions in order to bring down our deficit,” he said. “We can do it in a gradual way so it doesn’t have a huge impact.” Coming before the Super Bowl, Obama had to expect he’d be asked about his recent comment that if he had a son, he would have to think long and hard about letting him play football because of safety concerns. Obama said he feel differently about the NFL, where the players are well-compensated adults who know the risks, but the threat of concussions has to give parents pause about letting youth and children play. “I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to make the sport safer, and that means the game’s probably going to evolve a little bit,” Obama said. “For those of us who like to see a big hit and enjoy the rock ‘em, sock ‘em elements of the game, we’re probably going to be occasionally frustrated. “But I do think we want to make sure that after people have played the game, that they’re going to be OK,” he said. The Obamas were hosting their own Super Bowl party for friends and family at the White House. In honor of the two teams, the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, they were serving Chesapeake crabcakes and San Francisco cioppino stew with sourdough toast. Also on the menu are Clipper City and Anchor Steam beers from the competing cities. 2359696

Family and friends of Scott Edgell Jr., 28, who lost his life in a tragic garage fire Saturday night said the world will miss a genuinely good guy. Edgell’s aunt, Betty Brownlee of Piqua, said the 2003 Piqua High School graduate, was a helpful person that would drop anything to be there for friends and family when they needed him. Edgell also was an offensive lineman for the Piqua Indians in high school. He was the son of Scott and Sherry Edgell of Piqua and Sheila Edgell, formerly of Miami County, now of Cincinnati. Edgell, who attended Otterbein University, spent Christmas Eve with Brownlee and her family at their home — which was the last time she saw him in person. “This is a nightmare,” Brownlee said, through her tears Sunday. “He was like one of my kids. “I remember just over a month ago he was at my house for Christmas and spent the night. I loved talking to him. I have so many great memories of all the things we have done together. I wish I could have one of his bear

As of Sunday, no more information was available on the cause of the fire. The garage and its contents are a complete loss and there was no damage to the home, Pemberton said. Edgell was transported by the Miami County Coroner’s Office.

hugs one last time.” Brownlee said former fraternity brothers and friends also are reaching out to honor Edgell, who had resided in Columbus for the last several years. She said he also was a huge movie buff that always was on top when it came to movie trivia and remembering lines. “Everyone is just saying what a great guy he was. So helpful to others,” Brownlee said. “He was a happy person and could always make you laugh. He was a ‘movie freak.’ You could tell him any movie and he knew them all,” said his sister, Jerrica Graham. His cousin agrees. “I always loved hanging out with him because we had so much in common to talk about, and he always had a smile on his face and was such a lovable guy,” Haley Kiser said.

Word of the Week forceful — full of force; powerful; vigorous

Gravity Facts • Objects with mass are attracted to each other, this is known as gravity. • Gravity keeps Earth and the other planets in our solar system in orbit around the Sun. It also keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth. • Tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational effects of the Moon and Sun. • Because Mars has a lower gravity than Earth, a person weighing 100kg (220 pounds) on Earth would weigh only 38kg (84 pounds) on Mars. • It is thought that Isaac Newton’s theories on gravity were inspired by seeing an apple fall from a tree. • While Newton’s older law of universal gravitation is accurate in most scenarios, modern physics uses Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity to describe gravity. • Acceleration of objects due to the gravity on Earth is around 9.8 m/s2. If you ignore air resistance (drag) then the speed of an object falling to Earth increases by around 9.8 meters per second every second. • The force of gravity 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth is just 3 percent less than at the Earth’s surface. • The human body can handle increased g-forces as seen in activities such as dragster races, airplane acrobatics and space training. The highest known acceleration voluntarily experienced by a human is 46.2 g by g-force pioneer John Stapp. • While formula one racing drivers may feel around 5 g’s under heavy braking, they can experience over 100 g’s if a crash causes them to decelerate extremely quickly over a very short distance. • Some roller coasters have been known to include g-forces of around 4 to 6 g. • The higher something is, the greater its gravitational potential energy. Back in the Middle Ages, weapons called trebuchets were used to take advantage of this principle, using mechanical advantage and the gravitational potential energy of a counterweight to hurl rocks and other projectiles at or over walls. In modern times we use the gravitational potential of water to create hydroelectricity.

Gravity

Gravity is an invisible pulling force between two objects. These two objects can be anything from a grain of rice to a planet in the solar system. Nothing can escape it. The amount of gravity that an object has depends on a few things. Once of these things is where on the planet you are. Believe it or not the amount of gravity varies from place to place on Earth. Another thing that effects the amount of gravity an object has is how big the object is. The bigger the object’s mass the more gravity it will have and the smaller the mass of the object the less gravity. The final thing that affects gravity is the distance between two objects. The closer they are the stronger the gravity will be. Why is gravity important? Gravity is very important to our everyday lives. Without Earth's gravity we would fly right off it. We'd all have to be strapped down. If you kicked a ball, it would be fly off forever. While it might be fun to try for a few minutes, we certainly couldn't live without gravity. Gravity also is important on a larger scale. It's the Sun's gravity that keeps the Earth in orbit around the Sun. Life on Earth needs the Sun's light and warmth to survive. The planets them-

selves rely on gravity when they were formed and to stay together. Who discovered gravity? The first person who dropped something heavy on their toe knew something was going on, but gravity was first mathematically described by the scientist Isaac Newton. His theory is called Newton's law of universal gravitation. Later Albert Einstein would make some improvements on this theory in his Theory of Relativity. What is weight? Weight is the force of gravity on an object. Our weight on Earth is how

much force the Earth's gravity has on us and how hard it is pulling us toward the surface. Do objects fall at the same speed? Yes, this is called the equivalence principle. Objects of different masses will fall to the Earth at the same speed. If you take two balls of different masses to the top of a building and drop them, they will hit the ground at the same time. There is actually a specific acceleration that all objects fall at called a standard gravity, or "g". It equals 9.807 m/s2.

Science Projects: Laws of Gravity and Motion SWING ON A PENDULUM Your children can discover the laws of physics when they try to swing on a pendulum at the playground. What You'll Need: • Swing set • Partner • Stopwatch How to Swing on a Pendulum: Step 1: Have your kids sit in a swing and have their partner push them gently. Time how many times they go back and forth in one minute. Make sure they don't pump the swing. Just let it go on its own.

Step 2: Their partner can use a stopwatch to time precisely one minute while your children count. Step 3: Then have your children's partner push your children as hard as possible. Again, make sure they don't pump the swing. Count how many times they go back and forth in one minute. Is it any different? Step 4: Now have them try the same experiment, but pump the swing by themselves. Does adding a force affect the frequency of the swing?

WATCH AN OUNCE LIFT A POUND It may sound like it can't happen, but have your children learn about centrifugal force and watch an ounce lift a pound. How to Watch an Ounce Lift a Pound: Step 1: Have your children thread a five-foot piece of fishing line through an empty cotton spool. At one end, they should securely fasten the 1oz object so that it can be whirled about without danger. Then have them fasten a 1-lb rock to the other end of the fishing line.

Step 2: Have your kids grip the spool so that they are also holding the string beneath it. Let the heavy rock dangle down about ten inches. Rotate the light object in a horizontal circle above their head. Step 3: When the light object is spinning around fast, your children can release their grip on the string below the spool. As they continue to spin the light object, they will see the heavy object begin to rise on the string that goes through the spool. (Make sure they use a strong line and fasten objects securely so that the objects don't fly off.)

“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 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Little Rock, on political name-calling: Somewhere in President Barack Obama’s short inaugural address (it only seemed long), our newly re-elected chief executive paused to deliver a pious little sermon on the evils of name-calling — and for good measure, the evils of delay, spectacle and absolutism, too. The Rev. Obama crammed all those sins into a couple of sentences that might have passed for a mini-homily from some less-gifted televangelist: “For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.” Well said, at least for an absolutist who would like his own program approved without delay. And for the country’s No. 1 political celebrity — someone who’s no slouch himself at staging spectacles like a presidential inauguration. As for name-calling, this president’s rhetoric has not been devoid of that political staple. As when, shortly before his re-inauguration, he held a press conference at which he accused the opposition of just about every conceivable sin but putting innocent children at risk. (He saved that one for his press conference a couple of days later about his gun-control proposals.) He said, among other hostile things, that the GOP was “crashing the American economy,” holding it for “ransom” in order to get its way in budget negotiations, and is “consumed with partisan brinkmanship.” For someone who’s opposed to name calling, he’s pretty good at it. He somehow manages to preach against name calling while practicing it. No doubt he’s absolutely opposed to absolutism, too. … Let this be said about our president: He always sounds sincere. If he ever tires of his day job, he might try acting. Which reminds us that the Greek word for actor is the root of an English one: hypocrite. The New York Daily News on U.S. Senate proposals to reform immigration policy. Congratulations to the four Republican and four Democratic U.S. senators who unveiled a framework for comprehensive immigration reform. All the more power to Sens. Chuck Schumer, Marco Rubio, Robert Menendez, John McCain and their colleagues for kicking off a push that’s essential to the nation’s future. Presented on the eve of President Barack Obama’s much anticipated immigration address — and amid hopeful signs that the Republicancontrolled House may be moving in the same direction — the senators’ agenda called for: • Enabling illegal immigrants to come out of legal limbo and live their lives without fear. • Creating a path to citizenship for those immigrants — demanding they learn English and American history, pay taxes and go to the back of the green card line. • Building a modern, effective employment verification system. • Awarding green cards to immigrants who earn a Ph.D. or master’s degree in science, technology, engineering or math. • Tailoring inflows of immigrants to economic conditions and industry-based need, to ensure that immigrants don’t displace American workers. In a concession to Republicans, the plan would bar those 11 million unauthorized immigrants from seeking permanent legal status until federal border security efforts won the approval of an appointed commission of Southwestern governors, attorneys general and community leaders. And looming over it all are the likes of Rush Limbaugh, who boasted that “It’s up to me and Fox News” to kill reform. It’s up to millions of levelheaded Americans to save it. May the senators’ courage — and the inclusion of Florida’s Rubio, one of the Republican Party’s rising stars, whose support offers the GOP the promise of winning over millions of Latino voters — put the wind behind this critical, long overdue legislative effort.

We need to read the Bible more To the Editor: It was with great interest that I read the story regarding “catfishing” that appeared in Sunday’s newspaper. In my day, if you were going “catfishing,” it meant you had better bring your nightcrawlers! It’s pretty sad when this sort

of thing is happening in our society! Where have all of our morals gone? What is wrong with people today? Maybe people need to spend a little less time reading the Internet and a little more time reading their Bible. If more people were reading the Bible, these sorts of thing would not happen anymore. People would read how they are supposed to be living their lives!

So for all of you people out there who went to send messages to people you have never met over the computer while pretending to be someone else, I would say, “STOP IT!” Put down the computer and pick up a copy of the GOOD BOOK! If you take my advice, your soul will thank me later!

DOONESBURY

Moms have enough problems without bad jeans What in the name of LeviStrauss is going on with jeans? Regular readers know it goes without saying that at my dock, the fashion ship has already sailed, leaving me stranded ashore still wondering if this goes with that. I saw a jeans ad with an impossibly thin model (of course). She was standing up as straight as she could on her 6foot-long, cellulite-free legs. The back of her jeans barely, by the merest of margins, covered all the critical points. One millimeter lower and she would have had to join the plumbers’ union. If she had twisted or leaned over or, perish the thought, sat down, she would have been subject to arrest in many states and most foreign countries. How did the low-cut jean come into fashion anyway? No one looks good in them. If a person has a single excess molecule of fat around her waist, that fat is going to pooch out over the top of those jeans. Rarely in the annals of fashion does the cause of a mis-step share the name of the result. I give you the all-toodescriptive “muffin top.”

Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist The alternative, of course, is to wear what is derisively known as mom jeans. Mom jeans cover all of Mom which on the face of it seems to be the function of jeans. However, fashionistas say “mom jeans” in the same tone of voice one might use to say “leper” or “pedophile” or “someone caught wearing last year’s jacket.” So, if one wishes to wear jeans, here are the choices. You could pull on the very low cut, barely-there skin-tight jeans. This is not a good look for anyone except an anorexic person still in her … I take that back. This is not a good look for anyone. For reasons that have never been clear to me, my husband

— Martin Jones Troy

refers to females who wear these jeans as snake women. I refer to them as “How in the world did they get those jeans zipped?” women. Then I offer them a doughnut. Your next choice is what the catalogues laughingly refer to as “sitting just below the natural waist.” English is a marvelous language. One person’s “just below” translates to another person’s “where are the rest of my jeans?” I have tried on jeans that sit “just below the natural waist” and you may take my word for it that the manufacturer’s natural waist is nowhere in the vicinity of mine. See paragraph three above for the repercussions of minimal coverage. In the past, my more sartorially competent friends have accused me of having jeans that are, and I quote, “Baggy in the butt.” Given what my bathroom scale tells me every morning, it’s a wonder I own any article of clothing that could be described as baggy. Give me a month or two and I can snug those jeans right up. Given that I really don’t like tight

clothing, it’s strange I have so much of it. After those two dismaying choices, your final option is mom jeans. Mom jeans are famous (or infamous in certain circles) for the waist of the pant coinciding with the waist of the wearer. This, frankly, doesn’t seem like a major faux pas to me. We’re not talking PeeWee Herman chest-high pants, just an anatomic/fabric hook-up. The disparity between how jeans are described and how they actually fit a real person leads to great angst in the fitting room. It also leads to the normal shopper trying to wedge seventy-two pair of jeans in amongst the angst. It’s bad enough searching for a pair of jeans that are presentable. Padding around the store in one’s socks, looking for a mirror that doesn’t appear to have come from the Fun House is just too cruel. I wonder how the fashion gods feel about sweat pants.

Elizabeth ‘Liza’ Gray Benson JACKSON, Wyo. — Elizabeth “Liza” Gray Benson, 28, a resident of Jackson, Wyo., passed away suddenly in a skiing accident caused by an avalanche Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013. Liza was born on June 28, 1984, in Troy, 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; great-granddaughter 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 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 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 biolo-

gy, 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, BENSON 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 36-foot 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, WA before moving to Pinedale, Wyo., for rural and acute care rotations. Liza was on-track to graduate in August 2013.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

You already may be tied to ‘John’ Dear Annie: I have been with "John" for more than 10 years. We have children together. I have reached the point in my life that I wish to be married. I never wanted to be a girlfriend forever, and he knew this from the beginning. John says stupid things like, "If you did such-and-such, then I'd marry you." I don't believe marriage is about how much I can do for him. It's about loving each other enough to commit. I love John, but he is unwilling to take that step, so I have told him if we are not married by next summer, he has to move out and let me get on with my life. I'm not trying to force him to the altar. It's simply that if a legal commitment isn't in the cards, I need to plan my future without him. The problem is, John tells me he will not leave. I don't want things to get nasty by involving the authorities, but I want more out of my life than he does. Over the past few months, I have made myself completely miserable just thinking about all of this. Am I being unreasonable? Am I putting myself and my needs first by demanding he make a choice? — Dazed and Confused Dear Dazed: No. John's needs have come first for the past 10 years. But aside from that, you already may have a legal commitment in place. When a couple lives together as long as you have, it is recognized in many states as a common-law marriage. So, although you haven't had a ceremony, you may, in fact, be legally tied. You also have children, and a separation will entail custody, visitation and child support arrangements, so you might consider counseling before disentangling yourself. Even something as simple as tossing him out of the house becomes a legal matter. Check the laws in your state regarding common-law marriage, and if necessary, get the assistance of an attorney. Dear Annie: We have a home in another state and allow family members and friends to vacation there. Recently, when we went to the house, we found several framed family photographs of our guests throughout the family room and bedroom. I think this is in poor taste and that our guests have overstepped their privileges. Should I say thank you and simply put the photos away? Or should I allow others to decorate my home? — Concerned Dear Concerned: Well, this is certainly nervy. You are obviously such an accommodating host that your guests feel a little too much at home. We suggest returning the photographs to the owners, saying, "You must have left these at our house when you last stayed there. I know you would want them back so you can appreciate them in your own home." Dear Annie: I am "S.W. from California," the 88-year-old who had a falling out with his daughter. She and her husband cut off contact, so I cut them out of my will. After the letter appeared, I got a call from my son-in-law, who referred me to some online comments about your column. I was surprised by the negative response. It seems there is a generation gap. I was a Depression kid, and there was no help from the government. If you couldn't pay for food, you starved. Having gone through such rough times, we wanted to make things easy for our kids, and we gave them everything. It only resulted in spoiling them, and they, in turn, spoiled the next generation. These kids expect everything to be given to them and show no respect for their parents. My generation always showed respect. Fortunately, as a result of your publishing my letter, my daughter contacted me, and we are now speaking again. She doesn't see things my way, and I don't see things her way, but we have agreed to disagree. — S.W. from California 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. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Sound Off: So many lanes, so few cashiers Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about checkout lanes at grocery stores: “Why is it that grocery stores build 30 checkout lanes, and they open only four or five of them? I constantly have to wait in line at one of two open lanes, while 25 others sit there unused. Even when it is a busy time of year, like around the holidays, they may open a few more, but never all of them. So why do they even have them, if they are not going to be used? — A Reader in Texas”

Hints from Heloise Columnist FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for upright, cylindrical potato-chip cans: • Keep uncooked spaghetti in one. • Ship cookies in one. • Use to hold straws. • Make into a piggy bank.

• Store crochet or knitting needles. — Heloise WATER SPOTS Dear Heloise: I know that you have published how-to articles that have included removing water spots from finished furniture. Would you please share that with me again? — Ed, via email Happy to help! Mix a little baking soda and nongel white toothpaste together and rub on the spot. Make sure to use a nongel toothpaste without whitening ingredients. It takes some time for the spots to disappear — just be patient. When they are gone,

polish or wax the wood. Be sure to test in an unseen area before trying this. Baking soda is one of my alltime favorite household products. I have compiled a pamphlet with all of my favorite uses. To order, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Did a young artist mark on your washable walls with crayons? Put a little baking soda on a damp sponge and rub the area. — Heloise

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You have a strong feeling that you want to escape or get away from “all this” today. Travel will please you, and any chance to do something different will satisfy your urge for a change of scenery. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might have a debate with someone in a group situation about shared property, inheritances or anything you own jointly with others. Try to listen. Don’t jump to conclusions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared to compromise with others today, because that’s just what needs to happen. Accept this gracefully, and go with the flow. (No biggie.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Although you want to try to get better organized today, lighten up this afternoon, because your efforts could be frustrated. Expect shortages, delays and goofy mistakes. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A playful, artistic, creative day, indeed! Enjoy flirtations, playful activities with children, sports and vacation days. It’s a good day to kick back and relax. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Focus on home, family and domestic issues today. Conversations with a parent could be significant. This is a great day to relax at home; however, avoid major expenditures. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A busy day! Short trips, conversations with everyone and increased time with siblings, as well as reading and writing, will keep you on your toes. Yada yada yada. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your focus is on money, finances and cash flow today. Nevertheless, this is a poor day to spend money or make major purchases. Just try to get the full picture. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it also attracts a bit of good luck to you. Yay! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) No doubt you will choose to work behind the scenes or alone today, because it just feels better. Lower your expectations for your accomplishments in the afternoon, because that is just a goofy time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Conversation with a female companion could be significant today. Even though you’re focused on your goals, don’t make major decisions today. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Certain aspects of your private life probably will be made public today — just be aware of this. Be discreet, and keep your eyes open. Be ready to do damage control. YOU BORN TODAY You have a grace to your speech and movement that is almost delicate. You can be extremely convincing in a quiet way. You are insightful and skilled at smoothing over troubled waters with others or between third parties. In the year ahead, you have a chance to study or learn something that will be quite valuable. Your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Darren Criss, actor/singer; Michael Sheen, actor; Charlotte Rampling, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Monday, Feb. 4, the 35th day of 2013. There are 330 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 4, 1913, Rosa Parks, a black woman whose 1955 refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus to a white man sparked a civil rights revolution, was born Rosa Louise McCauley in

Tuskegee, Ala. On this date: In 1783, Britain’s King George III proclaimed a formal cessation of hostilities in the American Revolutionary War. In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt opened the Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid. In 1938, the Thornton Wilder play “Our Town” opened on Broadway.

Walt Disney’s animated feature “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” opened in general U.S. release. In 1941, the United Service Organizations (USO) came into existence. In 1962, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded in Memphis, Tenn., by entertainer Danny Thomas.

Vet charged in fatal shooting of ex-SEAL STEPHENVILLE, Texas (AP) — An Iraq War veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and a friend turned a gun on the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities said Sunday. Eddie Ray Routh, of Lancaster, was arraigned early Sunday in the deaths of Kyle, ROUTH who wrote the best-selling book “American Sniper,” and C h a d Littlefield, 35. They were killed at a shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort KYLE Worth. Travis Cox, the director of a nonprofit Kyle helped found, told The Associated Press on Sunday that Kyle, 38, and Littlefield had taken Routh to the range to try to help him. Littlefield was Kyle’s neighbor and “workout buddy,” Cox said. “What I know is Chris and a gentleman great guy, I knew him well, Chad Littlefield took a veteran out shooting who was struggling with PTSD to try to assist him, try to help him, try to, you know, give him a helping hand, and he turned the gun on both of them, killing them,” Cox said. Capt. Jason Upshaw with the Erath County Sheriff’s Office said Routh had not made any comments that might indicate a motive. “I don’t know that we’ll ever know. He’s the only one that knows that,” Upshaw said. Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Routh was unemployed and “may have been suffering from some type of

mental illness from being in the military himself.” Bryant didn’t know whether Routh was on any medication or had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Routh was being held on one charge of capital murder and two charges of murder. Upshaw said officials believe Routh used a semi-automatic handgun, which authorities later found at his home. Upshaw said ballistics tests weren’t complete Sunday, but authorities believe it was the gun used in the shootings. Upshaw declined to give any more details about the gun. The U.S. military confirmed Sunday that Routh was a corporal in the Marines, serving in active duty from 2006 to 2010. He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010. His current duty status is listed as reserve. Routh is being held on $3 million bond. Bryant said he believed Routh was in the process of seeking a public defender. A knock on the door at Routh’s last known address went unanswered Sunday. A for-sale sign was in front of the small, wood-framed home. Kyle’s best-selling book, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” detailed his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009. Kyle said in his book that Iraqi insurgents had put a bounty on his head. According to promotional information from book publisher William Morrow,

An employee opens the gate to let out cars at the entrance Rough Creek Lodge, Sunday. Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield were found murdered at the gun range on the property. Kyle deployed to Iraq four times. Bryant said Kyle, Littlefield and Routh went to the shooting range around 3:15 p.m. Saturday. A hunting guide at Rough Creek Lodge came across the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield around 5 p.m. and called 911. Upshaw said autopsies were still pending and he could not say how many times the men were shot or where on their bodies they were hit. After the shootings, Routh left the shooting range in Kyle’s black pickup truck, Bryant said, first going to his sister’s home in Midlothian, about 25 miles southwest of Dallas, where he told her and her husband what he had done. Routh left, Bryant said, and the couple called local police. Routh arrived at his home in Lancaster, about 17 miles southeast of Dallas, at about 8 p.m. Police arrested him after a

brief pursuit. Kyle’s nonprofit, FITCO Cares, provides at-home fitness equipment for emotionally and physically wounded veterans. “Chris was literally the type of guy, if you were a veteran and needed help, he’d help you,” said Cox, the director of FITCO Cares. Cox described Littlefield as a gentle, kind-hearted man who often called or emailed him with ideas for events or fundraisers to help veterans. He said he was married and had children. “It was just two great guys, with Chad and Chris trying to help out a veteran in need and making time out of their day to help him. And to give him a hand. And unfortunately this thing happened,” Cox said. Bryant expressed a similar understanding of the situation. The sheriff said Routh’s mother “may have reached out to Mr. Kyle to try to help her son.”

CAUTION 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.

So close … so far Kaepernick’s rally falls short NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Colin Kaepernick got tripped up and tossed down, then still nearly led the greatest Super Bowl comeback in just his 10th career NFL start. Rarely rattled on an impressive path to the Super Bowl, San Francisco’s second-year quarterback finally showed some inexperience on football’s big stage. Not to mention some guts. After a remarkable postseason AP PHOTO run with those speedy legs by the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (7) runs toward tattooed play-caller, the Baltimore the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown as he is followed by Ravens exposed plenty of flaws in Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed (20) during the second half of handing Kaepernick and Co. a 34Super Bowl XLVII Sunday in New Orleans. 31 loss Sunday despite San

Francisco’s second-half rally. No team has come from more than 10 points down to win a Super Bowl, and Kaepernick had a chance to make it happen less than three months after becoming San Francisco’s starter. He regrouped during a 34minute delay early in the third quarter because of a power outage, finding his groove and turning the Super Bowl into a wild game down the stretch and gave yet more cred to the pistol offense designed by his old college coach that is so well suited for the NFL’s young, mobile quarterbacks.

AP PHOTO

Baltimore Ravens running back Bernard Pierce celebrates after their 34-31 win against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday in New Orleans.

Ravens’ last stand Baltimore survives power outage, San Fran comeback to win NEW ORLEANS (AP) A — power outage at the Super Bowl put the nation’s biggest sporting event on hold for more than a half-hour Sunday, interrupting an otherwise electric, back-andforth game that ended with Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens as NFL champions thanks to a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Flacco, voted the MVP, threw three first-half touchdown passes to cap an 11-TD, zero-interception postseason. Jacoby Jones

returned the second-half kickoff 108 yards, a Super Bowl record, to give Baltimore a 28-6 lead. Moments later, lights lining the indoor arena faded, making it difficult to see. When action resumed, Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers scored 17 consecutive points, getting as close as 31-29. But Baltimore stopped San Francisco on fourth-and-goal from the 5 with under 2 minutes left when Kaepernick’s pass sailed beyond Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

The biggest deficit a team has ever overcome to win a Super Bowl is 10 points, and there were moments were it appeared San Francisco had a chance to better that mark. Instead, the 49ers lost for the first time in six trips to the Super Bowl. The AFC champion Ravens (14-6), a franchise that moved from Cleveland to Baltimore 17 years ago, improved to 2-0 in the big game. They also won the championship in 2001, when linebacker Ray Lewis was voted

the game’s MVP. Lewis was not a major factor this time, but he was a center of attention, playing in the final game of his 17year career before retiring. The 49ers struggled early in the first Super Bowl coaching matchup between brothers: Baltimore’s John Harbaugh is 15 months older than San Francisco’s Jim Harbaugh. Baltimore led 28-6 after Jones opened the second half with the

No ordinary Joe Flacco named Super Bowl MVP NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Capping a pretty perfect postseason, Joe Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three first-half touchdowns Sunday to earn Super Bowl MVP honors for leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-29 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Flacco became only the sixth quarterback in 47 Super Bowls to throw for three scores in a first half, connecting with Anquan Boldin for 13 yards, Dennis Pitta for 1, and Jacoby Jones for 56. And the unassuming guy who

played his college football at Delaware finished Baltimore’s four-game run to the title with 11 TD passes and zero interceptions. It was an impressive run that included road victories against two of the game’s best QBs, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. It’s been one impressive game after another for a guy who never has commanded the widespread respect usually accorded a top player but now will head AP PHOTO into an offseason that could land Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (5) is lifted into the air him a $20 million-per-year con- by teammates after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in tract in free agency.

Flirting with history Mickelson finishes off Phoenix Open victory SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Mickelson’s 5iron shot sailed long and right on the par-3 seventh, stopping an inch from the fringe and leaving him in danger of losing at least a stroke to playing partner Brandt Snedeker. Mickelson ended up leaving Snedeker shaking his head and went on to complete a wire-to-wire victory Sunday in the Phoenix Open. Fifty-five feet away, with a mound and a 20-foot swath of fringe between his ball and the hole, Mickelson decided to putt through the taller grass rather than chip over it. He had caddie Jim Mackay remove the flagstick so that it wouldn’t deflect the ball if it had too much speed, a move that proved wise when the ball raced into the cup. “The challenge of that was to judge the speed where half the putt is through fringe and half is on the green,” Mickelson said. “I got lucky to have made it, obviously. I was just trying to two-putt it. It was going fairly quickly when it got to the hole, probably would have been 6, 8 feet by. With Brandt in there close, that was a big momentum change.” Snedeker joked with Mickelson for a moment before holing his own birdie putt. “Are you kidding me?” Snedeker said about his reaction to the putt. “I fully expected Phil to hit a flop shot from there. He didn’t have much of a putt, and he putted through it. “I hit a great shot in

Trojans have 1st-round bye at sectional Tippecanoe to play Graham BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com The Troy Trojans have two goals for the rest of the season. And those goals gave them more courage than anyone else in the Division I Sectional tournament draw. Troy, seeded 10th, was the first one of the 19 other teams in the field to go into top-seeded Fairmont’s bracket, taking a first-round bye on the other half of the Dayton 2 sectional, with games to be played at Lebanon High School. “We have two goals: to win the Greater Western Ohio Conference North, and to play in the sectional final,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “We know how good Fairmont is. We felt like taking a first-round bye and playing the winner of two teams seeded lower than us was the best chance for us to get to the sectional final.” Those two teams are No. 11 Edgewood and a familiar foe at No. 12 — Sidney. The Trojans travel to Sidney Wednesday for one of its two final regular season games that will decide the GWOC North, meaning that both of Troy’s goals may go through the Yellowjackets. “We’re going to get real familiar with them this week,” Kopp said. Fairmont will face the winner between No. 13 Butler and No. 15 Piqua, meaning that all four of the GWOC North teams in the 20-team field went into the same sec-

FAIRBORN tional bracket. • Division II Tecumseh As it turns out, coaches listen to their players after all. Tippecanoe took its No. 5 seed and went to the lower half of the Division II Tecumseh Sectional bracket — the opposite side from the one that top-seeded Carroll chose. “Carroll went up, and (No. 2) Kenton Ridge and (No. 3) Eaton went away from them,” Tippecanoe coach Aaron Jackson said. “‘Don’t go at Carroll this year’ — that was the only input from the girls. So I didn’t.” The Red Devils will instead face No. 11 Graham — a Central Buckeye Conference crossover team that wasn’t on their schedule in the regular season — in the first round. “(Graham’s coach) said he just wanted to play someone new,” Jackson said. “And I get that. Girls can get complacent when they’re just playing the same teams again and again.” Should Tippecanoe advance past the first round, it will face the winner between Eaton and Springfield Shawnee, with a potential sectional final against rival Kenton Ridge — which the Red Devils finish the regular season against on Saturday. But the road there will be tough. “After the first round, there are no easy ones,” Jackson said.

Tour record of 254 set by Tommy Armour III in the 2003 Texas Open. The 42year-old former Arizona State star won after struggling the last two weeks tying for 37th at La Quinta in his opener and 51st at Torrey Pines and making news by talking about tax increases. “It’s an important one for

me, because it’s been a while since I won, been a while since I’ve been in contention,” Mickelson said. “I was certainly nervous heading into today. I think the thing I’m most excited about was the way I was able to regain control of my thoughts after a few shots early on that I didn’t care for.”

Miami East lands No. 1 seed Vikings to face M-U in opener BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com

TIPP CITY — The Miami East Vikings have landed the No. 1 seed in the Division III Tippecanoe Sectional bracket. And the Vikings will not have to deal with rivals Versailles and Anna, at least not in the sectional round. “I have to give credit to the girls for getting the No. 1 seed,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “You have no idea where people are going. You try to look ahead to see maybe where the best rout would be from a coaching standpoint, but every day at practice we’re preparing for our very first game, which is MiltonUnion. We’re going to have to play hard and play very well to get out. There are some tough teams we’re going to have to deal with

TIPP CITY like Brookville and Dunbar, they’re all shooting for you, you’re the No. 1 seed. “But yeah, we’re pretty happy with our draw. It’s finally one year we don’t have to play Anna or Versailles, at least they’re not on our side. That was good.” Second-seeded Anna (154) — which handed the Vikings their only loss this season and ousted them in the D-III Regional final last year — and third-seeded Versailles (17-3) are in the lower half of the bracket. Anna must get through Northridge (3-18) and Dixie (10-11), while the Tigers have to go through No. 9 West Liberty-Salem (8-13) and No. 8 Arcanum (9-10) to reach the sectional finals. Miami East (19-1) will play No. 11 seed MiltonUnion (2-16) on Feb. 13 in Tipp City at 7:30 p.m. The winner of that game plays No. 10 seed Dunbar (6-12) on Feb. 19. If in fact the

Vikings or Bulldogs do reach the sectional finals, they will play either No. 5 seed National Trail (12-8), No. 6 seed Tri-County North (10-9) or No. 4 seed Brookville (13-7). • D-IV Sidney Troy Christian (16-3) earned a No. 6 seed in the Division IV Sidney Sectional.
