Mum’s not the word anymore Troy officially announces band coming to town BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com
Cell phones donated to abuse shelter
The secret is officially out. City of Troy officials spilled the beans about how Troy managed to snag Grammy-nominated folk rock band Mumford and Sons as one of a select group of only five cities to host a summer music festival on Aug. 30 and 31. Troy Main Street Executive Director Karin
TROY Manovich said she was encouraged to apply to host the British folk band by the National Trust Main Street Center and Heritage Ohio. She likened the odds of Troy’s selection to host the two-day musical event to winning the lottery — due to hundreds of cities like Troy which applied. “This is a historic event for Troy of epic pro-
portions,” Manovich said. “I didn’t think there was such a thing as a secret in a small town — great job team.” A top hat and a fake mustache could not disguise city of Troy’s Mayor Michael Beamish’s excitement over the news of the Mumford and Sons Stopover tour, which was announced by the band. The band uses a gentleman with a

Boehner, R-Ohio, has said the House will wait to see what the Democratic-led Senate does. Obama’s gun control proposals have been opposed by the National Rifle Association, which is a potent lobbying force on Capitol Hill. In addition, some Democrats including many from rural or
Beginning in August, the U.S. Postal Service will cease mail delivery to street addresses on Saturday while mail to P.O. boxes and all packages will continue to be delivered. The changes are intended to restore financial health to the struggling Postal Service, which depends on the sale of postage and other products and services — rather than tax dollars — to stay afloat. “The Postal Service is advancing an important new approach to delivery that reflects the strong growth of our package business and responds to the financial realities resulting from America’s changing mailing habits,” said Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO, in a press release. “We developed this approach by working with our customers to understand their delivery needs and by identifying creative ways to generate significant cost savings.” With package delivery increasing 14 percent since 2010, the Postal Service opted to keep package delivery at six days a week. Specific information about the new delivery schedule, which starts Aug. 5, will be published to inform residential and business customers. In an effort to cut costs, the Postal Service has already decreased its annual cost base by about $15 billion, reduced its career workforce by 28 percent and consolidated more than 200 mail processing locations since 2006. Industry and independent market research revealed that 70 percent of Americans were supportive of five-day delivery to boost financial security. “The American public understands the financial challenges of the Postal Service and supports these steps as a responsible and reasonable approach to improving our financial situation,” Donahoe said in the release. “The Postal Service has a responsibility to take the steps necessary to return to long-term financial stability and ensure the continued

The Sidney Yellowjackets’ size had something to do with that, (and) the Trojans couldn’t complete a late comeback attempt in a 54-50 loss at Sidney Wednesday night.

The proposed ban on militarystyle assault weapons, while backed by about half the public in polls, has gotten tepid support so far on Capitol Hill and is given scant chance of becoming law.

31 with the sounds of Old Crow Medicine Show, the Vaccines, Bears Den, Half Moon Run, Those Darlins, Willy Mason, and more. Mumford & Sons will perform on Saturday evening. Manovich said after speaking with last year’s “Stopover” venues such as Bristol, Va. — where people from 44 states and eight foreign countries attended a Mumford and Sons concert — the decision to host the band was clear. According the Diana Thompson, the Executive Director for the Miami County Visitor’s Bureau, the region can expect an economic impact of $12.6 million dollars over a span of four days. “I just had to share that I spoke to one of our hoteliers and they said after the announcement yesterday at 3:30, they had more than 2,000 phone calls for rooms,” said Thompson. “Don’t worry — Dayton can have our overflow.” “The Gentleman of the Road” tour will swarm the city of Troy on Aug. 30 and 31 and will take place at Troy Memorial Stadium. Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman said he was “very proud to host the worldclass event,” which will transform the Troy High School’s campus and turn Memorial Stadium in to a musical venue. City of Troy Police Department’s Capt. Joe Long said he hasn’t reviewed the complete security details of the event, but
planned on contacting the police department of Bristol, Va. for their advice. “I will definitely get a hold of Bristol and see how they handled it,” Long said. Tickets to the two-day Stopovers will be $109, with no additional service fees or hidden charges. Each ticket will include a commemorative Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Passport. The Troy Stopover will go on sale at 11 a.m. this Friday and will be available exclusively at gentlemenoftheroad.com. According to a press release from Troy Main Street, each Stopover combines the intimacy of a community celebration with the excitement of a world-class music festival. This year the Stopovers are expanding to a Friday night concert followed by an all-day Saturday event. Mumford & Sons will headline the Saturday show, alongside a roster of artists curated by the band themselves. A series of smaller events involving local businesses, venues, and, most importantly, local people will happen in and around the town. The outdoor events will take place in three carefully-selected and unique locations across America including St. Augustine, Fla.; Guthrie, Okla; and Troy. More than 17,500 people attended the concert in Bristol, Va., according to a press release. Attendance at the two-day stopover in Troy is expected to more than double Troy’s population.

affordability of the U.S. Mail.” Wednesday afternoon at the post office in Troy, resident Sherry Kerns said she was disappointed to learn that mail would no longer be delivered on Saturdays. “The weekends are when people are running errands and would want to get the mail. That’s when they actually have time to read it,” Kerns said. “I think a day during the week would have been better.” But Kerns said she was
pleased that package delivery would continue on Saturdays. The changes will entail a combination of employee reassignment and attrition that is projected to save the operation about $2 billion annually once fully implemented, according to the release. Post offices that operate on Saturdays will continue to be open Saturdays, but precise changes to the workforce or operating hours are still uncertain, said David Van Allen, corcommunications porate spokesperson.
Closest Earth-like planet just a ‘stroll across park’ CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Earth-like worlds may be closer and more plentiful than anyone imagined. Astronomers reported Wednesday that the nearest Earth-like planet may be just 13 light-years away or some 77 trillion miles. That planet hasn’t been found yet, but should be there based on the team’s study of red dwarf stars. Galactically speaking, that’s right next door. If our Milky Way galaxy were shrunk to the size of the United States, the distance between Earth and its closest Earth-like neighbor would be the span of New York’s Central Park, said Harvard University graduate student Courtney Dressing, the study’s lead author. “The nearest Earth-like planet is simply a stroll across the park away,” she said at a news conference in Cambridge, Mass. Small, cool red dwarfs are the most common stars in our galaxy, numbering at least 75 billion. The HarvardSmithsonian Center for Astrophysics team estimates
6 percent of red dwarf stars have Earth-like planets. To qualify, the planet must be roughly the size of Earth and get as much light from its star, as Earth does from the sun. This high rate of occurrence should simplify the search for extraterrestrial life. As the report’s co-author, David Charbonneau, noted, he’s an astronomer, but hopes to become a biologist if that search succeeds. These planetary candidates are quite different than Earth because of the differences between their red dwarf stars and the sun, Charbonneau told reporters. Because the red dwarfs are so much smaller, potentially habitable planets would need to orbit much closer than the Earth does to the sun. They likely would be rocky, the astronomers said, but different types of atmospheres could lead to different types of life. Red dwarf stars also can be old far older than our sun, which means their planets could be much older than Earth and their potential life forms much more evolved.

after the Newtown massacre. On Tuesday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told CNN that he favored some expansion of the background check system. He noted that his own state has increased the mental health information it makes available to the federal government on gun buyers, following the 2007 killings of 32 people at Virginia Tech by a student who then committed suicide.

conservative areas have been reluctant to endorse the president’s plan. That hesitation was underscored Wednesday at a private retreat Senate Democrats staged in Annapolis, Md. At that session, Democrats largely embraced expanded background checks on gun sales, but some senators expressed a desire to avoid voting on an assault weapons ban, according to two people who described the closed-door session only on condition of anonymity. The House Democrats’ recommendations were proposed by the 12-member House Democratic Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, led by Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif. Two-thirds of its members had to approve an item for it to be included in their plan, meaning there likely will be Democratic dissenters to some of the ideas. Among the task force members was Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the House’s longest serving member. Dingell has been a strong ally of the National Rifle Association, though he has clashed with them on some issues in the past. There has been strong public support for expanding background checks beyond the current system, in which the checks only cover sales by federally licensed gun dealers. The checks are aimed at weeding out gun sales to criminals, people with mental health problems and some others. That proposal has gotten the most initial backing from members of Congress and is widely expected to be the centerpiece of legislation the Senate Judiciary Committee plans to write as soon as this month.

Forest students donate phones for abuse shelter For the Troy Daily News TROY — Student council members from Forest School have spearheaded a drive to collect old, outdated cell phones for the Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County. This is the third time the students under the leadership of Eva Marie Rieck, student council adviser, have donated phones to the shelter. Rieck initially learned of the need for cell phones from an article about a donation of cell phones from the YWCA Piqua to the shelter. The student council has now donated approximately 300 phones to the abuse shelter through their partnership with the YWCA Piqua. “I am extremely proud of the efforts of our Student Council members to collect and donate phones for this wonderful cause,” said Rieck. Gretchen Roeth, public relations director for the YWCA Piqua, has helped to coordinate the donation process and said, “These students have shown leadership skills and have

They have found that it feels good to help others. This is a life skill that they will carry with them throughout their lives.” All phones that are donated to the shelter are programmed for 9-1-1 calls only and are given to women who are victims of domestic violence so that they can call for emergency help. Family Abuse Shelter Grants Manager Fawnda Cress said, “I really appreciate the efforts of
the YWCA Piqua along with the students from Forest School to collect and donate these cell phones. Women have been saved because of the cell phone they received to call for help. Your donations do save lives and that truly makes a difference.” The YWCA Piqua collects cell phones year round at 418 N. Wayne Street in Piqua. A drop off box is available in the lobby.

Try this delicious upside-down pizza The darkness of the early morning is leaving and daylight is appearing. We are being greeted by a world of white. It has been snowing all night and several inches are covering the ground. Snowflakes are still coming down very thick. I love to watch it snow. So many snowflakes and our wonderful God created each one. We also are having wind along with the snow. After a rainy week in January, we are happy to see snow again. The children are looking forward to some more sledding. Warm weather and rain we had this week probably ruined the lake for ice fishing. My husband Joe and sons, Benjamin and Joseph along with Timothy and Susan’s
friend Mose, spent last Saturday ice fishing. They had two ice fishing shacks with a propane heater in each one, so they stayed quite warm. They didn’t have too much luck with getting fish but they still enjoyed the day. Tomorrow several of our children have doctor’s appointments at the children’s hospital two hours away. I hope and pray that we will get back there safely. Our friend Irene usually takes us and she is a safe driver, but accidents can still happen. I think a lot more about accidents since the tragedy that took the life of two of my cousins two weeks ago. Joe will take off work to go with us which I am
THE AMISH COOK
Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist glad for. Days like that can be more stressful than being at home working. We always like to start out three hours ahead of our appointment time so that we get there on time. You never know when you get delayed in the traffic. Because of the weather we will be leaving at 6:30 a.m. so it will take most of the day. Last week Joe and I
attended the funeral of Joe’s cousin Willis’s wife Irene. She had a battle with cancer. Such a dreadful disease. Our sympathy and prayers go to the family. Their house will seem empty without a mother in it. God had all of this happen for a reason. In less than three weeks three of our cousins all around the same age were taken from this earth. Our hearts ache for all of the families left to mourn. The only comfort we can have is knowing that God makes no mistakes. Yesterday I was finally able to do our laundry for this week. It had amounted to quite a bit. Monday I couldn’t start the motor on the washing machine. The children were home from school all day
due to ice roads. Verena went along with Susan to her babysitting job. She enjoys the little children. Benjamin was helping me fill the machine with water and gathering all the dirty laundry. But nothing we did would make that motor start. When my husband Joe came home he tried different things and couldn’t get it to start. We took the motor to get looked at but it is 17 years old so we don’t know if it is fixable. We bought another motor and Joe hooked it to the washing machine. It was such a relief to finally get all that dirty laundry washed. Susan was working so I ended up doing the job myself. I didn’t hear Benjamin complain that he didn’t
get to help since he was at school yesterday. That motor worked really well so I got a lot of washings done with it. This a great recipe to try, an easy, hearty meal on a cold winter’s day! UPSIDE DOWN PIZZA 1 pound hamburger or sausage Small onion, diced 1 medium green pepper 1 pint pizza sauce 2 cups cheese 1 cup flour 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1 teaspsoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt Brown meat with green pepper and onion. Add pizza sauce. Put in a 9 X 13 inch pan. Sprinkle cheese on top. Mix flour, eggs, milk, oil, and salt. Pour over and bake uncover at 425 for 25-30 minutes until browned.
Traditional take on the classic red beans and rice By the Associated Press It seems just about everyone with a Louisiana pedigree has a secret recipe for making the region’s signature dish red beans and rice. Which makes it a bit like chili and barbecue. Any time you try to write
a recipe for it, no matter how you make it, no matter what you put in it, folks will line up to tell you that you got it wrong. It’s one of the things that makes tradition-rich recipes such as this so wonderful. People really care about what goes in the pot.
In the case of red beans and rice, some people flavor the dish with salt pork, some use bacon, or pork hocks, or ham bones. Andouille sausage is pretty much a given, ditto for some sort of red bean. However you go, it’s bound to be delicious, filling and a perfect one-pot
substitute brown rice for the beans in water overnight. If you’d rather the white. skip that, you also can use the so-called shock RED BEANS AND RICE WITH ANDOUILLE method. To do this, in a large pot combine 3 quarts SAUSAGE This recipe is written for of water, the dried beans using dried beans, which and 1 tablespoon of baking have a better texture than soda. Bring to a boil, then canned. We use the tradi- simmer over medium-high tional method of soaking for 20 minutes. Drain and rinse, then proceed with the recipe. Start to finish: 2 1/2 hours (plus bean soaking or boiling time) Servings: 8 1 pound dried red beans 4 ounces salt pork, diced 1 pound smoked pork hocks 1 pound andouille sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced into halfrounds 1 large yellow onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, chopped 2 large stalks of celery, diced 2 green bell peppers, cored and diced 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 3 bay leaves 1 teaspoon dried thyme 2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock Hot sauce, to taste Salt and ground black pepper, to taste 4 cups cooked (hot) long grain white rice 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 scallions, thinly sliced Fill a large pot or bowl with water, then add the beans. Stir, then cover and set aside to soak overnight. When ready to cook, drain the beans and set aside. In a large, deep pot with a heavy bottom, such as a Dutch oven, over medium heat, brown the salt pork until crispy, about 12 minutes. Add the pork hocks, sausage, onion, garlic, celery, bell peppers and Cajun seasoning. Cook until starting to brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, stock and the drained beans. Simmer over medium heat and cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on the UK/eurozone economy: The flight of traders from sterling is happening not only because some of them feel there isn’t much to be said for the United Kingdom economy, after recent bad growth figures. The movement from the pound is also for the more positive reason that the eurozone feels safer than last year. In 2012, sterling was a refuge from the euro; this year there is more confidence in the single currency. Investors too are moving toward equities. The buoyant state of the London stock market is hard to reconcile with a downbeat view of the economy. Nonetheless, the movement from sterling as a safe haven may be aggravated by the prospect that the Chancellor could exceed official borrowing forecasts this year. If the UK were to lose its triple-A credit rating, that would further undermine confidence. The dip in growth in the last quarter of last year may have been affected by one-off factors, especially in the oil sector, but there is still cause for concern about the health of the economy. The Office for National Statistics report on high levels of household debt is especially worrying. Families overstretched by debt repayments are in no position to spend. There are other concerns. Inflation has remained high in part as a result of quantitative easing… And rising costs depress demand — eating into salaries that are rising by far less than prices and leaving less for spending. Many of these problems affect other economies too. But we are still dependent on the health of the eurozone and while its future is safe there has not yet been the restructuring of its weak economies that would provide real stability. If the last quarter of stagnant growth is followed by another, we really will have a feel-bad factor to handle. The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on managing the Arctic: The Arctic is getting hotter — so hot that China is claiming to be a “near-Arctic” country and wants to join the Arctic Council as a permanent observer. Singapore, India and South Korea — as well as Greenpeace and the Association of Oil and Gas Producers — have also applied for observer status. Clearly, the melting of the sea ice and the opening up of new shipping routes linking the Pacific to the Atlantic, as well as the North’s tremendous resource potential, are attracting a frenzy of attention. Canada, which this year becomes chair of the Arctic Council, has a unique opportunity to strengthen the leadership of the world’s premier forum for intergovernmental co-operation in the North, just as global interest in the region intensifies. Under Canada’s two-year leadership, the council, which negotiates binding treaties, should seriously consider the observer applications of China, Korea and the European Union. Better to have China in the Arctic club that already exists; then it has to play by the rules and respect the sovereignty of the eight Arctic states that ring the North Pole. China, the world’s top greenhouse gas emitter, has long had Arctic ambitions. … The Arctic is home to one-fifth of the world’s fisheries — as well as 13 percent of global undiscovered petroleum and 30 percent of undiscovered natural gas. The extraction of these resources will only exacerbate climate change, and lead to possible territorial disputes, oil spills, and an increased military presence. The sustainability and safety of the North and its people must not be compromised by commercial activities. Any new voices on the council should not drown out those of Inuit, Sami and other aboriginal groups who already have permanent observer status, but no voting rights. It will be a difficult balancing act… but also a chance for Canada to enhance its global standing as a circumpolar leader.

My very own, personal national signing day Yesterday was national signing day (which may as well be a national holiday here in Ohio — truth be told, I can’t believe Hallmark hasn't jumped on that sucker yet), which meant thousands of the best high school football players in the nation signed with various colleges and universities. Most did so in packed gymnasiums and auditoriums, with hundreds of friends, family and media members in attendance. I seem to remember my college signing day going a little bit different. When I made my announcement that I was going to attend The Ohio State University, the only person around was my mother. If I remember correctly, her exact words following my announcement were: “So you really found a college that would let you in? Suckers!” Needless to say, I was not exactly a hot commodity coming out of high school. Of course, how I went about selecting a college probably differed quite a bit from the top high school recruits’ selection process as well. The top high school football players in America look at the following factors when selecting a college: academics, the school's proximity to family and friends
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor and the number of Rhodes Scholars their school has produced (well, either that or: guy-girl student ratio, the school's ranking on Playboy magazine’s "Party School Index" and how quickly their chosen school can get them to the NFL — I forget which, really ...) My college selection process came down to one deciding factor: Ohio State's application happened to be on top of the pile. In the fall of 1991, I was a senior at Troy High School and figured that, since I would be graduating at some point (much to the delight of my Spanish teacher, who hated me — and from what I understand, still hates me to this day ... hard to blame her, really), I should probably start considering my college options. I went down to see my guidance counselor (whom, it bears mentioning, did not hate me — at least
— Dottie Zimmerman The Needy Basket Committee
to the best of my knowledge) and picked up a stack of college applications. I brought them home that night and began filling them out. That night, I filled out Ohio State’s application and put it neatly into its envelope — then I licked it, stamped it and sent that baby on its way. Several days later, I received a phone call from someone at the university to set up an appointment for me — accompanied by my parents — to visit their fine institution of higher learning. Wait a second ... I had to go with my parents? “David, please tell me you don't think we’re just going to let you go away to a college without seeing it first,” my mother said. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that was pretty much exactly what I had been thinking. In any event, soon enough we were on our way to Columbus, where we were met by our tour guide. Our tour guide, it bears mentioning, may very well have been the most beautiful girl walking around Ohio State's campus. “Dear God, I don’t ask you for much — but could you please, just this once, strike my parents mute, lest they say anything potentially embarrassing in front of this diaphanous creature you have created?” I remember praying.
Because God has better things to do than helping me meet girls, however, my parents spent pretty much the next two hours asking a series of humiliating questions to our incredibly beautiful tour guide. (Note: They were actually fairly reasonable questions. But when you are 18, you are pretty certain everything that comes out of your parents' mouths is the dumbest thing ever said. That's why they are parents — it's like their job). In any event, by the time we got to the car, I was pretty salty — and my mother knew it. That's when she uttered this line: "We are going with you on any college visits you take." “Fine,” I said. “Then I’ll go to Ohio State.” And that’s how I became a Buckeye — in order to avoid any more potentially humiliating college visits with my parents. Ohio State was the first — and last — college visit I took, only because they happened to be on top of the stack of applications I brought home from school. Hey, the way I figure it, Harvard’s loss is Ohio State’s gain, right? Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Whatsamatta U?

Makeup artist behind Yoda dies at age 98 LONDON (AP) — Stuart Freeborn, a pioneering movie makeup artist behind creatures such as Yoda and Chewbacca in the “Star Wars” films, has died. He was 98. LucasFilm confirmed Wednesday that Freeborn had passed away, “leaving a legacy of unforgettable contributions.” “Star Wars” director George Lucas said in a statement that Freeborn was “already a makeup legend” when he started working on “Star Wars.” “He brought with him not only decades of experience, but boundless creative energy,” Lucas said. “His artistry and craftsmanship will live on forever in the characters he created. His “Star Wars” creatures may be reinterpreted in new forms by new generations, but at their heart, they continue to be what Stuart created for the original films.” Freeborn’s granddaughter, Michelle Freeborn, said he died Tuesday in London from a combination of ailments due to his age. Michelle Freeborn, who lives in Wellington, New Zealand, said her grandfather was “like a hero” to her and inspired her and her late father to get into the movie business, too. “He was a really fun and imaginative individual.” she said. “He gave you the feeling that if you wanted to achieve something, you should just get on and do it, and don’t ever use excuses. He enjoyed life and the amazing world we live in.” Freeborn’s six-decade career led him to work on many classics, including Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Born in London in 1914, Freeborn was the son of a Lloyds of London insurance broker. He told a BBC documentary last year that he resisted pressure to follow in his father’s footsteps, because “I felt I was different.” He began his film career in the 1930s, working for Hungarian-born director Alexander Korda, and honing his makeup skills on stars including Marlene Dietrich and Vivien Leigh. After air force service during World War II, he worked on British cinema classics including “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” and David Lean’s 1948 version of “Oliver Twist.” His transforma-
tion of Alec Guinness into Fagin complete with a large hooked nose was criticized by some as anti-Semitic, a matter of regret for Freeborn, who said he was partly Jewish. Freeborn later worked with Kubrick, transforming Peter Sellers into multiple characters for “Doctor Strangelove” before designing the apes for “2001”’s “Dawn of Man” sequence, in which primates react to a mysterious monolith. But he will likely be best remembered for his work on “Star Wars” creating characters such as the 7-foot-tall wookie Chewbacca and the slug-like Jabba the Hutt. LucasFilm said that Irvin Kershner, who directed “The Empire Strikes Back,” would “note that Freeborn quite literally put himself into Yoda, as the Jedi master’s inquisitive and mischievous elfin features had more than a passing resemblance to Freeborn himself.” (Yoda’s looks were also said to be partly inspired by Albert Einstein.) Freeborn recalled being approached by “this young fellow” named George Lucas, who told him, “I’ve written a script for a film called ‘Star Wars.’” “He was so genuine about it, I thought, well, young as he is, I believe in him. He’s got something. I’ll do what I can for him,” Freeborn told the BBC. Nick Maley, a makeup artist who worked with Freeborn in the 1970s, called him a mentor who “ran his department like a headmaster.” “It was my years working with him that helped me learn how to think, how to solve problems, how to not take the most obvious path,” Maley said. “Everybody will remember him for ‘Star Wars,’ but he did so much more than that. No one should overlook the groundbreaking work he did on ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ That was really the forerunner of ‘Star Wars’ and used a lot of the same technology.” Freeborn’s wife, Kay, died in 2012. Freeborn’s three sons Roger, Ray and Graham also died before him. In addition to Michelle, Freeborn is survived by six grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren.
DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Paul Tanner CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Paul Tanner, a trombonist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra who later played a space-age instrument on the Beach Boys hit “Good Vibrations,” has died. He was 95. His stepson, Douglas Darnell of Youngstown, Ohio, says Tanner died of pneumonia Tuesday morning at an assisted living center in Carlsbad. Tanner performed with Miller from 1938 to 1942.

Beneke to Henry Mancini and Arturo Toscanini. He also helped develop the electro-theramin, a keyboard-style electronic instrument inspired by the theramin. He provided its eerie sound on several Beach Boys recordings, including “Good Vibrations.” • Diane Hardy Thompson COLUMBUS, Miss. — Diane Hardy Thompson, one of three African-American women who integrated thenMississippi College for Women in 1966, has died at an Augusta, Ga., burn center. She was 64. Officials with Lee-Sykes Funeral Home in Columbus say a funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday. Other details are pending. Survivors include her daughter, her mother and other siblings Karen Thompson McKinstry of Columbus, Thompson’s daughter, tells The Clarion-Ledger that her mother, who had been battling bone cancer, had suffered a bad reaction to treatment; she had not been
burned. The retired schoolteacher finally got her degree from Mississippi University for Women in 1996, 30 years after the school was integrated. She was honored at the annual Dream 365 breakfast, among events in Columbus’ Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, Jan. 21, but was too ill to attend. Her daughter accepted the award. Laverne Greene-Leech and Barbara Turner Bankhead were also part of the trio that integrated the college; all were part of same high school senior class in Columbus. “We were close friends and we knew we were going to college, but we didn’t know how,” Greene-Leech, also of Columbus, said. “At that particular time, the ‘W’ was the most reasonable college that we could have gone to. “We weren’t trying to do anything special. We just wanted to go to school. We enrolled. Of course, in 1966, it was not the thing to do, but we did.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Take friend’s threats of suicide very seriously Dear Annie: I'm a teenager, and my friend told me he's having suicidal thoughts. His dad is really hard on him, and I suspect he's verbally abusive, as well. He made me promise never to tell anyone and said he wouldn't actually go through with these thoughts. But I don't know what to do. Would it ruin him if I told someone? And who would I tell? I don't want to make his home life even worse, and he might deny it if I mention it. Please help me. — Scared to Death Dear Scared: One should always take threats of suicide seriously. Your friend confided in you because he needed to talk about it, and you can encourage him to discuss his feelings. Your compassion and support may help him resolve some issues and realize that whatever situation he is in doesn't have to be permanent. But if you believe he is showing signs of following through (getting prepared, giving things away), please talk to your parents, school counselor, a sympathetic teacher, your minister or any responsible adult, and urge your friend to seek professional help through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273TALK. Dear Annie: I am a grandmother in my 60s. I was excited to learn about Facebook and start conversing with friends and relatives. I love seeing all of their pictures and videos and reading their statuses and comments. I always make comments and give compliments on their pictures, etc. But is it wrong for me to be hurt and resentful when some of them completely ignore me in return? It is mainly the relatives who do this. These are the same people to whom I have sent checks in hard times and for every occasion, and it bothers me when I see that they comment to other friends, but act like I don't exist. I hate to say anything to them, because they would resent me for it, but it hurts my feelings, and I don't understand their behavior. They act as if it would cost them long-distance money to respond to me. I believe you can find out a lot about people by friending them on Facebook. You discover which ones are really interested in you and which ones simply like to post pictures of themselves. It is so self-centered. What should I do? — Hurt in Virginia Dear Hurt: Please don't mistake Facebook for genuine friendship and a true relationship. It is simply a convenient way to keep track of others' activities and life events and let them know about yours. Some people are considerate and responsive (like you), and others, less so. Your relatives, in particular, may think that their relationship with you is covered outside of Facebook and therefore doesn't require the same degree of attentiveness online. It's OK to ask when you see them in person, but we urge you not to take this too seriously. We don't believe it is anyone's intent to hurt your feelings. Dear Annie: This is about the letter from "A Long-Term Care Employee," who urges family members to bring new clothing to residents in nursing homes. In the past five years, my husband has been in three different nursing homes for rehab after a stroke and numerous falls. You learn not to bring "good" clothes because they disappear. Even with every article identified with a name tag, a hamper to put dirty clothes in and instructions that "family will do laundry," the clothes go missing. I visited my husband daily. Finding his missing clothes was an ongoing problem in each nursing home. I visited the lost and found department in one facility, and the amount of clothing there could have outfitted every one of the 102 residents. Please don't blame the family. We try. — Royal Oak, Mich. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
It’s time to wash that makeup brush Dear Readers: An easily forgotten task is washing makeup brushes, but there’s no end to the list of things, besides makeup, trapped in those bristles. Ideally, makeup brushes should be washed one to two times per month. Start by moistening the brush with lukewarm water. Point the bristles downward to prevent water from getting into the handle. Using a mild shampoo (I like using baby shampoo), start lathering the soap between your fingers, working it from the base to the tip of the brush. Keep the brush pointed down. Gently squeeze down the bristles over and over, adding a
Hints from Heloise Columnist little more water each time, until the brush is clean. Wipe the brush on a paper towel and reshape it into its original brush shape. Lay all brushes on their sides. Setting them upright, in a brush holder, will allow water to work its way down the bristles and loosen the glue holding the brush
together. Allow brushes to dry overnight before use. Enjoy how soft your freshly cleaned brushes will be! — Heloise SAVE BOXES Dear Heloise: Whether you purchase something in a store or by mail order, be sure to save the original box that the item came in for at least a short time. Until you use the item, you may not know if you want to keep it. By saving the box, you will be able to return the item (especially by mail) if you don’t like it or it doesn’t work. If you have the storage available in your home, consider saving boxes a little longer. If you
know that you are going to move, electronics are one item in particular that it’s great to be able to repackage in the original box for protection. — Andrew G. in Utah FRESH PILLOWS Dear Heloise: Here is my hint for freshening up pillows: Toss some clean tennis balls, your pillows and a fabric-softener sheet into the dryer for 10 minutes. Setting the dryer on the “medium” heat setting ensures that any and all dust mites will be killed. This is a great help for those who suffer from allergies while also extending the longevity of your pillows. — Helen W., via email

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Feb. 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a fantastic day to dig deep for answers. You have the concentration, the energy and the drive to find what you want. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you have to speak to a group today, you will be riveting. However, you might disagree with someone or feel you have to compete. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re not afraid to voice your ambition when talking to authority figures today. People definitely will sit up and listen to what you have to say. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re highly convincing today. Perhaps this is why you are drawn to discussing profound topics or expanding on religion, philosophy and legal matters. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) No doubt you will get the better of disputes regarding shared property, inheritances and anything you share jointly with others. You have drive, focus and tenacious determination. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with partners and close friends might be testy today, because either you are blunt and forward, or you will attract someone who is. This could escalate into an argument. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re so ambitious to get things done that you are willing to delegate anything to practically anyone. Actually, others will listen to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a strong day for those involved in sports, whether you are participating or just watching an event. You’re gung-ho with enthusiasm, and you want to win. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You will get the better of others in family discussions about renovations and changes at home. You will be adamant about what you want, and you’re not going to back down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a powerful day for those who sell, market, teach, write or drive for a living. You have enormous energy to communicate what you want, and you persuade others to agree with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re determined when it comes to earning money today. You know what you want, and you intend to get it. However, you might be equally determined about going after something that you want to buy. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You are full of intellectual and mental energy today. This is why you will tackle problems and work for a long time on them. You’ll love debating with others, especially if you win. YOU BORN TODAY You have a wonderful imagination and easily can form conceptions of all sorts. Your visualization powers are excellent as well. At times, you can even be prophetic. Your ability to intellectually plan ahead bodes well for writers, architects, musicians, scientists and map readers. You have excellent technical skills. In the year ahead, you have an opportunity to learn something valuable. Grab it. Birthdate of: John Grisham, writer; Jules Verne, novelist; Shiva Rose, actress/blogger.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Feb. 7, the 38th day of 2013. There are 327 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1943, during World War II, the government abruptly announced that rationing of shoes made with leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.) On this date: • In 1812, author Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England. • In 1863, the British Royal Navy
corvette HMS Orpheus struck a sandbar and sank off the coast of New Zealand, killing 189 out of the 259 men on board. • In 1904, a fire began in Baltimore that raged for about 30 hours and destroyed more than 1,500 buildings. • In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba. • In 1983, Elizabeth H. Dole was sworn in as the first female secretary of transportation by the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. • In 1984, space shuttle
Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered space walk, which lasted nearly six hours. • One year ago: A federal appeals court ruled California’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, but gave gay marriage opponents time to appeal the decision before ordering the state to allow such weddings to resume. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Miguel Ferrer is 58. Actor James Spader is 53. Country singer Garth Brooks is 51. Actor-comedian Eddie Izzard is 51. Actor-comedian Chris Rock is 48. Actor Ashton Kutcher is 35.

The toothbrush as a soldier
Keep your children’s smiles healthy by ensuring that they brush, floss, eat healthy foods, and visit the dentist regularly.
February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, sponsored by the American Dental Association. The ADA says that teaching your children how to defend their teeth against acid attacks is the best way to prevent tooth decay. When food particles are allowed to stay in the mouth and under the gums, the sugar in the food attracts bacteria and the mouth becomes acidic. These conditions cause an attack on the teeth that leads to decay. Brushing twice a day is an important defense. After brushing the flat parts of the molars, hold the brush against the gums, massage it in a small circle, then brush downward for upper teeth and upward for lower teeth. Doing this all around the jaw helps get food particles out of the spaces between the teeth and gums. Provide a children’s toothpaste and be sure the child spits and rinses without swallowing any.
Once a day, a child’s teeth need to be flossed. Parents may need to floss younger children’s teeth, but it is a daily habit that, along with brushing, beats the bacteria and sugar attack. It will also help children avoid gum disease when they are older. A healthy diet reduces the chances for sugars and bacteria to cause an acid attack. Eating vegetables, fruit, grains, dairy, and lean meats also helps children develop strong teeth. Choosing snacks carefully is another solid tactic. Many seemingly healthy snacks have a high sugar content, so it is important to read nutrition labels on packaging. Even better, offer snacks such as milk, cheese, nuts, or fruits and vegetables as often as possible. Last but not least, having regular checkups with the dentist is absolutely essential in preventing cavities and treating any problems that may arise.

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. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving spent the fourth quarter on the bench watching and relaxing with the other starters. No need for any heroics from the All-Star guard this time. The Cavaliers finally rolled to an easy win the way they used to on a regular basis when LeBron James was Cleveland’s hardcourt king. Irving scored 22 points in just three quarters, rookie Dion Waiters added 19 and the Cavs didn’t overlook a team with a worse record than their own by clobbering the Charlotte Bobcats 122-95. It was Cleveland’s most lopsided win since May 7, 2010 James’ last victory with the Cavaliers. “It was the first game that I can remember that I got a chance to sit down in the fourth quarter without it being the other way,” Cavs coach Byron Scott said

Ole Miss outmuscles perrenial powers By The Associated Press Alabama. Ohio State. Michigan. Florida. Notre Dame. Mississippi? Ole Miss muscled in on the powerhouses that usually dominate national signing day, landing some of the most sought-after prospects in the country on college football’s annual f i r s t - We d n e s d a y - i n February frenzy. The Rebels, coming off a promising 7-6 season in their first season under coach Hugh Freeze, had the experts swooning by signing three of the bluest chips still on the board and building a well-rounded class otherwise. The day started with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche from Loganville, Ga., rated the No. 1 recruit in the country by just about everyone who
ranks them, deciding to join his brother, Denzel, in Oxford, Miss. “I feel like it’s the right place for me,” Nkemdiche said after slipping on a red Ole Miss cap. “I feel like they can do special things and they’re on the rise. I feel like going to play with my brother, we can do something special.” Nkemdiche originally committed to Clemson last year, then backed off that and narrowed his picks down to LSU, Florida and Mississippi and the Rebels beat the big boys. They weren’t done. Coaches in the Ole Miss war room were exchanging hugs and high-fives again a couple hours later when Laremy Tunsil, a top-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla., picked the Rebels over Florida State and Georgia.
“Tunsil to Ole Miss I think was the biggest surprise of the whole (recruiting season),” said JC Shurburtt, national recruiting director for 247Sports.com. And, as if the Ole Miss needed more good news, highly touted defensive back Antonio Conner from nearby Batesville, Miss., chose the Rebels over national champion Alabama. The end result was a class good enough to even catch the attention of LeBron James. “Ole Miss ain’t messing around today! Big time recruits coming in. SEC is crazy,” the NBA’s MVP posted on his Twitter account. Crazy good. While the Rebels racked up, it’s important to remember they still have plenty of ground to gain on the rest
of their conference competition. Nick Saban reloaded the Crimson Tide with a class that Rivals.com ranked No. 1 in the country. SEC powers Florida, LSU and Georgia pulled in typically impressive classes. SEC newcomer Texas A&M cracked the top 10 of several rankings. Even Vanderbilt, coming off a nine-win season, broke into the top 25. It’s the cycle of life in the SEC, which has won seven straight BCS championships. Stock up on signing day and scoop up those crystal footballs at season’s end. • If Momma’s Not Happy … Alex Collins, a top running back prospect out of Plantation, Fla., announced on Monday night that he was going to Arkansas
instead of Miami. It was considered a huge victory for new Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema. But on Wednesday morning, when it was time to make it official, Collins’ letter of intent didn’t come spinning through the fax machine in Fayettville, Ark. There were some odd reports about Collins’ mother not being happy with her son’s decision to go so far from home. College coaches aren’t allowed to talk about specific players before they sign, but Bielema did acknowledge during his signing day news conference that Arkansas’ class of 22 players could “grow by one.” • Slipping Away from USC Signing day didn’t do much to soothe the scars left from a difficult season for Southern California.
NCAA sanctions limited the number of scholarships coach Lane Kiffin and the Trojans could hand out this year, and then as signing day approached USC had several players who had given verbal commitments change their minds. The most notable defection on signing day was five-star defensive back Jalen Ramsey of Brentwood, Tenn., who flipped to Florida State. Defensive end Jason Hatcher from Louisville, Ky., bailed on USC and signed with Kentucky, and defensive end Torrodney Prevot from Houston not only reneged on his USC commitment, but he landed at Pac-12 rival Oregon. “People expected (Prevot) to flip from USC, but they thought it would be to Texas A&M,” Shurburtt said.

Building the Buckeyes
Westwood recalls where it began
Ohio State scores one of top recruiting classes in nation COLUMBUS (AP) — Two minutes before Rossville, Ga., defensive back Vonn Bell stepped before the cameras on Wednesday morning to declare where he would go to school, he dialed Ohio State coach Urban Meyer’s cell phone. Too anxious to sit still, Meyer had gotten on a treadmill to burn off his pent-up energy. “(Bell) said, ‘You know I’m in, right?’” Meyer recalled later. “I said, ‘No I didn’t know you were in. Congratulations.’” Bell’s commitment to the Buckeyes was the crowning piece to a strong recruiting class for Meyer, who was hamstrung a year ago in his first year at Ohio State because he wasn’t hired until late November. He termed last year’s recruiting, which netted several freshmen who made solid contributions to a stunning 12-0 season, as “a bunch of cowboys out there trying to find players.” Most major recruiting experts and publications rate the Buckeyes in the top five in the nation some even have them No. 1. So, given a full year to work at it, Meyer and his staff had a huge day. The group he brought in was rich in wide receivers along with help up front and in the secondary on defense. “We went to bed last night with three guys that were very on edge as far as where (they were going),” Meyer said. “I thought if we hit one out of three, that’d be all right. Two out of three would be a good day and three out of three would knock it out of the park. We hit three out of three, so I’m very pleased.” Bell supplied the biggest get. Rated as a five-star prospect by most of the top recruiting services, the 6-foot-1, 190pounder had 146 tackles and three interceptions as a senior at Ridgeland High. On offense, he had more than 1,700 all-purpose yards and scored 21 touchdowns.

In this photo taken in September 2012, Pendleton High School defensive tackle Michael Hill knocks the helmet off Belton-Honea Path offensive lineman Dillon Coleman during a high school football game in Pendleton, S.C. Hill signed a letter of intent to attend Ohio State on Wednesday. He had been rumored to be going to Tennessee until he pulled Meyer out of his impromptu workout. Unhappy with his receiving corps most of last season, Meyer brought in potential wideJames outs Clark from New Smyrna Beach, Fla., along with native Ohioans Gareon Conley, Darron Lee and Jalin Marshall, and JC transfer BELL Corey Smith. Meyer’s offense requires deep threats and players who can stretch the field and a defense. He said he’s getting closer to getting those weapons. “When you run an offense where you want three or four split guys all the time, and you only have one or two it’s not enough,” Meyer said. “We’re starting to get a little bit of that built up. We just didn’t have enough make-you-miss guys on offense (last year). I think we addressed that.” If there was an area where the Buckeyes came up short, it was offensive
linemen. They lost one senior from last year’s team (right tackle Reid Fragel) and will lose starters Jack Mewhort, Andrew Norwell, Corey Linsley and Marcus Hall after the 2013 season. Yet they signed just Tim Gardner, a 65, 320-pounder from Indianapolis, and Evan Lisle, 66 and 290 from Centerville, Ohio, in this year’s class. Although they finally have last year’s bowl ban behind them, the Buckeyes are still facing NCAA-mandated recruiting restrictions that limit them by three scholarships this year and next. Meyer said he didn’t think that would be a problem this season, although he said even the loss of three scholarships can deprive a team of a player who might blossom into a great contributor. With the help of offensive coordinator Tom Herman, who used to be an assistant coach at Rice, the Buckeyes made inroads in the Lone Star state. They landed three prime players
out of Texas in quarterback J.T. Barrett, linebacker Mike Mitchell and running back Dontre Wilson. Meyer said he hopes in the future to get more players out of Ohio and then “cherry pick” top players from the south and elsewhere. Asked if he was chasing after Alabama, which has won three of the last four national championships, and the Southeastern Conference, which has won the last seven national titles, Meyer didn’t deny it. He said the recruits he was pursuing at Ohio State weren’t different from the ones that the Crimson Tide and the rest of the SEC were after. “Us and 130 other schools (are after) guys who run really fast and are tough,” he said. “There is a little bit of a chase going on after the SEC. That’s fine. You have to give credit where credit is due. And if that’s a perception that we’re chasing them, that’s fine. I wouldn’t disagree with you. “We want to increase the speed on our team a little bit.”

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Lee Westwood still doesn’t know why his father took him to the golf course. He played just about every other sport in England when he was 12, such as football, cricket and rugby. He used to go fishing with his father, but the fish weren’t biting, mainly because Westwood kept throwing stones into the water. So off they went to a golf course called Kilton Forest, neither of them having ever so much as swung a club. Westwood was hooked. “I turned pro at 19 and came on tour, and he was still a 12 handicap, so I can’t understand the reasons for that,” Westwood said. “He went to every lesson that I’ve had, drove me there and sat there and listened to it. I just got a bit better than him. Must be down to talent or something like that. I must have my mom’s talent for golf.” Westwood was particularly sharp with his dry humor Wednesday at Pebble Beach, where it’s easy to be in a good mood when the landscape is colored with a blue sky, green grass, white surf and a blazing sun. He is making his first start on the PGA Tour, and this week is a reminder to the 39-yearold Westwood where his career all started. It was his mother, a podiatrist, who bought a set of golf clubs from a patient in case her son wanted something to do while on holiday from school. It was his father, a math teacher, who had the idea of going to the golf course for the first time. Nearly 30 years later, Westwood has put together quite the career. He reached No. 1 in the world, ending the fiveyear reign of Tiger Woods in October 2010. He has won the Order of Merit twice on the European Tour. He has played on eight Ryder Cup teams. Perhaps it’s only fitting that Westwood goes back to his roots at the Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am by playing with his father. John Westwood told the UK version of Golf World that they both shot somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 that first day at Kilton Forest. On the third day, Westwood chipped in for his first birdie, and then his father made a long putt on the same hole for his first birdie. Pebble Beach is known as the felicitous meeting of land and sea, and the tournament can be an important meeting of PGA Tour players and amateur partners who in most cases are far more successful CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, stars from other sports that include Wayne Gretzky, Matt Cain and Justin Verlander, actors Bill Murray and Andy Garcia, entertainers like Clay Walker and Kenny G. It requires patience to get through rounds that approach six hours, with two pros and two amateurs at Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Who better to spend the time with than the man who got it all started? “He’s had a massive influence on me,” Westwood said. “He’s the reason, really, I’ve got so good at the game. He and my mom invested a lot of time in me when I was growing up.” Both are in California to rejoice over more than just golf. They celebrated their 43rd anniversary, and his mother, Trish, has a birthday next week. Pebble Beach is one of the few events on the PGA Tour where the tournament itself is bigger than any one player, though the field is ample. Phil Mickelson is the defending champion, and he is coming off a fourshot win last week in the Phoenix Open for his 41st career victory on the tour. Mickelson is a four-time winner at Pebble Beach, and another victory would tie the tournament record held by Mark O’Meara.

Trojans ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Kopp said. “And we didn’t play well defensively. We weren’t where we needed to be on defense.” It was only the second time all season the Trojans (11-10, 7-2 GWOC North) have given up 50 or more points — the first time was 55 in the third game of the season against Centerville, the No. 3 team in the state in Division I. “If we score 50 points in a game, the way we play defense, I feel like we’re going to win every time,” Kopp said. “We shot the ball fairly well. We were 18 for 41 from the floor. We just didn’t get timely stops.” Sidney was able to take control in the first half thanks to nine points from
Harris — who only had eight in the first meeting. But with Troy’s leading scorer, Kristen Wood, held to just four points, Mackenzie Schulz (10 points) and Morgan Taylor (eight points) each scored six to keep the Trojans close at the break at 25-23 Sidney. But Sylvia Hudson proved to be too much. The Jackets’ 6-footer inside finished with a team-high 16 points and six rebounds, scoring 10 of her points in the second half as Harris (13 points, five assists) used herself as a decoy and lobbed the ball over the Trojan defense to Hudson time and again. Lauren Elmore chipped in seven points and Aalyiah Wise added six
points and a game-high nine rebounds as Sidney outrebounded Troy 29-18 — and did a massive amount of damage on the offensive glass. “They had nine offensive rebounds and scored on six of them,” Kopp said. “You work so hard on the defensive end for a stop, get it and they get an easy putback. It’s deflating for everyone.” Not quite everyone, though. Freshman Sierra Besecker scored seven of her nine points in the second half, including a 3 at the third-quarter buzzer that allowed Troy to close to within 38-34. And Wood added 14 of her game-high 18 points in the second half, getting the ball to the
rim at will. The senior also added five rebounds and four assists — both team highs. Still, Sidney held its biggest lead of the game at 50-41 with 1:30 to go. But Wood converted a threepoint play and then scored on a drive to get Troy to within 51-46. With the rest of the team struggling from the line, Hudson then nailed two clutch free throws to blow the lead back up to seven, but a putback by Taylor and a pair of free throws by Schulz made it a one-possession game at 53-50. Harris was fouled with 12.7 seconds left and hit one of them, and Troy committed one of its eight turnovers in the game at the worst time possible,
allowing the Jackets to run out the clock. “Sierra did a nice job in the second half, and Kristen played well and handled the ball well,” Kopp said. “We made some shots at the end, but we also made some mental lapses that cost us valuable seconds.” The loss ties Troy with Greenville — which defeated Butler Wednesday night — with one game to go, leaving Troy needing only a win against rival Piqua to clinch a share of the division title for the third straight season. Sidney, meanwhile, plays at Greenville with a chance to spoil the Green Wave’s title hopes completely and give it to Troy outright. A thought Kopp doesn’t
even want to entertain. “We need to do what we’ve got to do against Piqua,” Kopp said. “We only need to worry about taking care of our own business.” Troy — 50 Mackenzie Schulz 3-2-10, Sierra Besecker 4-0-9, Todda Norris 2-1-5, Morgan Taylor 3-2-8, Courtney Mazzulla 0-0-0, Kristen Wood 6-5-18.

No. 17 Bearcats slip up against Providence in 54-50 loss PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The ball and the game were in Sean Kilpatrick’s hands. Then both slipped away. Cincinnati’s top scorer lost the ball on a backcourt violation with two seconds left when he was pressured by Lee Goldsbrough and Providence held on for a 5450 win over the No. 17 Bearcats on Wednesday night. When Goldsbrough jumped out to double team with the score 52-50, Kilpatrick “put his head down and lost the ball,” Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. “The games that we’ve struggled in, we’ve turned the ball over.” Kilpatrick, who led the Bearcats (18-5, 6-4 Big East) with 13 points, said the ball went off him and into the backcourt but he thought he was fouled first by Goldsbrough. “It happens,” Kilpatrick said. “We weren’t doing the things that we practiced.” Cincinnati’s last lead was 6-4 before Goldsbrough tied it with a basket off an offensive rebound. “The whole team was out of sync,” said Bearcats guard Cashmere Wright, whose six points were eight below his average. “You don’t lose the game on the last play. You lose it in the whole stretch of the game.” Kadeem Batts scored 25 points and the Friars narrowly won their second straight after holding a big lead late in the game. “It’s been an up-anddown season for us,” Providence coach Ed Cooley said. “In the last three games, we’re starting to show a little bit of consistency, and starting to play better basketball.” Last Thursday, the Friars (12-11, 4-7) lost to Connecticut 82-79 in overtime. On Saturday, they blew a nine-point lead with 4:34 left but beat Villanova 55-52 on a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds to go. And on Wednesday, they improved to 1-2 against Top 25 teams after their biggest lead of the game, 47-34 with 6:49 left, kept shrinking until it was down to 49-48 on two free throws by Cheikh Mbodj with 2:28 remaining. “We started off sluggish,” said Kilpatrick. “Then we got in scoring droughts and dug a deeper hole. We could have played 10 times better.” It was 52-50 when Batts missed two free throws with 13.4 seconds to go and Justin Jackson rebounded for Cincinnati. Then Kilpatrick lost the ball on a backcourt violation when it hit his foot. Goldsbrough had just six points and four rebounds but made the big play at the end. “I can’t praise Lee Goldsbrough enough for what he’s done on the ball screen defense,” Cooley said. “Lee was really big today even though you don’t see it in the stats.”
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Pioneers. “He can do multiple things for them,” Brewer said. “If they need him to play cover corner; he can play cover corner. If they need him to return punts; he can return punts. If they need him to play receiver; he can play receiver.” Blakely said he was recruited as a defensive back, but would be willing to pill in wherever the team needs him. He did play both receiver and punt returner for the Trojans. “This feels great,” Blakely said. “I’m really excited to take the next step in my life. Not too
many people get the opportunity to play football at the next level. I’ve made a few trips there and they guys on the team were all great. They all really took me in and made me feel comfortable. They were not selfish at all. They are going to do what it takes to make everyone else on the team better. I think they are going to want me to play defensive back, but I’ll play wherever they need me.” That comes as no surprise to Brewer. “He’s a player,” Brewer said. “Everyone looks up to him. He’s going to be a great leader on the field, in the lockerroom and on campus.”

Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick (23) drives against Providence guard Vincent Council (32) during the first half in Providence, R.I. Wednesday. Batts finished the scoring with two free throws after missing seven of his other 10 to complete the Friars’ 12th game decided by six points or less. “Like coach says, it’s mental toughness,” Batts said. “I had to focus on seeing the ball going through the rim.” The Bearcats lost for the second time in seven games and for just the second time in games played away from home. They also lost only the fourth of the 16 games in which they allowed 60 or fewer points. “We gave up 54 points,” Cronin said. “You’ve got to be able to win.” Providence improved to 4-9 after an 8-2 start, allowing the fewest points in any of their conference games. “Defense is a mindset. Defense is an attitude. Defense is an approach,” Cooley said. “Our guys have showed that attitude and approach starting on the road at Villanova, brutal place to play, and here against one of the top three teams in our league.” The Friars led 26-21 at intermission despite a scoreless first half by Bryce Cotton, who entered the game averaging 21.4 points, first in the Big East and sixth in the nation. He went 0-for-4 from the field, all 3point attempts, in the half. No. 11 Louisville 68, Rutgers 48 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Wayne Blackshear scored a career-high 19 points and hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 23-2 run early in the second half that carried No. 11 Louisville to a 68-48 victory over Rutgers on Wednesday. Russ Smith added 14 points and six rebounds and fellow guard Peyton Siva had nine points and seven assists as the Cardinals (19-4, 7-3 Big East) won its third straight game by holding Rutgers to a season-low point total. No. 12 Mich. St. 61, No. 18 Minnesota 50 EAST LANSING, Mich. — Gary Harris scored 15 points and Keith Appling
added 14 points before leaving the game with an injury to help Michigan State bounce back from a poor first half to beat Minnesota. Appling left the court with 1:17 left, holding his right shoulder after getting tied up with Joe Coleman. He returned to the bench in the final minute. No. 14 Butler 77, St. Bonaventure 58 INDIANAPOLIS — Rotnei Clarke scored 17 points and Butler defeated St. Bonaventure. Andrew Smith added 13 points and Khyle Marshall and Chase Stigall each scored 12 as the Bulldogs (19-4, 6-2 Atlantic 10) improved to 12-0 at home this season. Indiana St. 76, No. 16 Creighton 57, TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Jake Odum scored 22 points, topping the 1,000point mark for his career and leading Indiana State past Creighton. It was a huge night for the Sycamores (15-8, 8-4 Missouri Valley Conference), who earned the 1,400th win in school history and beat a ranked team at home for the first time since December 2006. No. 22 Okl. St. 69, Baylor 67 STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Michael Cobbins blocked a shot then Markel Brown converted a fastbreak layup with twotenths of a second left in overtime, lifting Oklahoma State over Baylor. Marcus Smart scored 14 points and Brown added 13 for Oklahoma State (16-5, 6-3 Big 12 Conference), which blew a 14-point lead in the final 7:40 of regulation and twice trailed by three points in overtime before extending its winning streak to four games. No. 24 Marquette 70, South Florida 47 TAMPA, Fla. — Todd Mayo and Vander Blue both scored 13 points to help Marquette beat South Florida. Mayo had all of his season-high 13 points in the
first half as Marquette (165, 7-2 Big East) grabbed a 39-16 halftime lead. Dayton 60, St. Joseph’s 54 DAYTON — Kevin Dillard scored 23 points and Dayton won its fourth straight game, beating Saint Joseph’s 60-54 Wednesday night in Atlantic 10 Conference play. Saint Joseph’s (13-8, 4-4) built a 43-36 lead in the second half. But the Hawks missed four of their next five shots as Dayton rallied to take its first lead of the frame, 47-45, on a Dillard 3pointer with 5:02 remaining. Ohio 69, Ball St. 42 MUNCIE, Ind. — Walter Offutt scored 17 points, T.J. Hall added 10 and Ohio rode a dominant first half to a 69-42 victory at Ball State on Wednesday night. Offutt was 6 of 9 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range, for the Bobcats (16-6, 7-1 MidAmerican), who never trailed, led 34-14 at halftime and stretched their advantage to as many as 29 points in the second half. Toledo 65, Miami (Ohio) 64 OXFORD — Nathan Boothe knocked down a 3pointer with 1 second left to lead Toledo to a 65-64 victory over Miami (Ohio) in Mid-American Conference play. Reggie Johnson’s layup had given Miami a 64-62 advantage with 4 seconds remaining. W. Michigan 82, Kent St. 76 KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Shayne Whittington scored 21 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, and Western Michigan scored the final seven points of the game to secure its seventh straight victory, 82-76 over Kent State on Wednesday night. David Brown added 22 points off the bench, including two free throws with 1:41 left that turned out to be the game-winning points, for the Broncos (157, 7-2 Mid-American), and Nate Hutcheson scored 15.
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 following the unusual blowout, the biggest during his three seasons in Cleveland. “So that was a good feeling.” The Cavs were coming off a stunning upset of Oklahoma City, one of the league’s best teams. It would have been easy to take the lowly Bobcats (11-37) for granted, but Cleveland came out energized from the start, built a 33-point lead after three quarters and sent Charlotte to its 11th loss in 13 games. “This was one of those games where I was really curious to see if we learned from some of our past mistakes and if we’ve grown as a basketball team, and I can say we definitely have,” Scott said. “It’s just a matter of now just keeping it going.” Tristan Thompson scored 17 for the youngand-improving Cavs, who are 8-9 since Jan. 1. “It definitely shows that we’re making steps in the right direction,” said Irving, who scored 35 13 in the final 2:52 against the Thunder. “We’re getting better every single game. To come out here and just play the second half the way we wanted to, and the way we finished the first half and continue to execute offensively and defensively, shows that we’re making strides.” Byron Mullens scored 15 to pace Charlotte. Bobcats leading scorer Kemba Walker, averaging 17.8 points per game, had just five on 2-of-11 shooting. Scott was eager to see how his team would respond after Cleveland’s stunning win over the talent-thick Thunder. While trying not to disrespect the Bobcats, Scott said before tipoff that “this is a game we should win … this is the game you should be the most worried about as a basketball player.” As it turned out, the Cavs had no concerns and coasted to their biggest win since James and the Cavs beat Boston 124-95 in Game 3 of the Eastern
Conference semifinals in 2010. By halftime, Cleveland was ahead by 28 points, shooting 62 percent from the floor and coasting toward a rare laugher. Irving, Thompson and Waiters went a combined 17 of 23 from the field in the first half as the Bobcats appeared as if they couldn’t wait to get on the plane back to North Carolina. The Cavs kept it up in the third quarter, pushing their lead to 33 entering the fourth. Cleveland came in averaging 96 points per game and had 100 by the end of the three, allowing Scott to rest Irving and the rest of his starters for the final 12 minutes. At the break, Scott recalled how the great Los Angeles Lakers teams he played on with Magic Johnson would put away weaker teams at will. “We talked about it before games. ‘This is a team we should beat by 30, and in the fourth quarter I don’t want to be playing,’” Scott said “That was one of Magic’s statements: I don’t want to play in the fourth quarter. That means we’ve got to come out and bury these guys. I told our guys: You’ve got to think that same way. Don’t think about we’re up 24 at halftime, think about being down 24. “We’ve got to come out with that same aggressiveness to try to put this team away. I thought our guys did that pretty much.” The Bobcats went 0-5 on a brutal five-game, 10day trip in which they also lost rookie forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to a concussion. Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap wasn’t pleased with his team’s finish to the trip. “There are three or four of those that happen to you,” Dunlap said. “They’re not pretty. Obviously the physical effort is unacceptable. We don’t like that.” Thompson, a natural left-hander who has shown a deft touch with
