A story to tell New documentary focuses on family’s wartime letters BY BETHANY J. ROYER Ohio Community Media broyer@dailycall.com Sometimes a story begs to be told. For others, like Diana Spitler of Bradford, it involves a sign. “My driving force is God,” said Spitler, who is working on a documentary about her family’s life on the farm after the Depression and experiences during World War II.

Staff Report A Michigan man who died as the result of an early morning crash Thursday has been identified. According to Chief Deputy Dave Duchak of the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, Kyle Moore, 18, of Newaygo, Mich., was killed after being ejected from his vehicle on Hufford Road.

Moore’s body was found approximately 150 feet from the vehicle, which is believed to be the only vehicle involved in the earlymorning crash.

Forest Elementary School third-grade teacher Bill Hewitt answers questions with Hailey Merrell and Lydia Stucker while working on an iPad 2.

IPad2s • Continued from 1 “Well, we don’t use canals anymore so I just pulled up a video and it shows how they worked and how dangerous it was to make canals because they had to use dynamite to create the canals.” Jones and Hewitt also are using the IPad2s to teach the district’s teachers how to use the IPad2s in their classrooms through the district’s professional development courses, also known as the Trojan Institute. “Teaching other teachers how to use this technology is fun for us,” said Hewitt, a teacher for 22 years.”We have three to four groups come in the classroom to see how we are using the IPad2s throughout the week because it’s new, exciting and (tablet-style computers) are going to be around for a long time.”

The teachers can even have students use the “Show Me” app to connect to the classroom’s interactive SmartBoards. “It’s nice to have the ability to have the students show their work up on the board using both the IPad and the Smartboard,” Jones said. “That’s just another tool for us to use on a daily basis.”

Now there’s an app for that Hewitt is no stranger to combining learning and computer programs. In fact, Hewitt has made several of his own computer math programs, which are available online through the district’s website. Hewitt wrote the programs and now he’s learning the computer programming language of Apples.

Both Hewitt and Jones found that many of Apple’s learning applications were missing the mid-level elementary programs, so Hewitt took an online course through Stanford University’s IPad2 application writing course he downloaded online. “It was like a college course only I didn’t have to turn my homework in,” Hewitt said of the experience learning online through the I-University program with Stanford University. Hewitt is learning how to adapt his “Skip Counting” program to an Apple application. “There’s a lot out there as far as books and basic facts but not a lot of general applications like geometry or multiplication apps,” Hewitt said. “So we decided to take it a step further and so I learned to write my own apps.”

The retrial of Jamie J. Seitz, 1052 North St., Piqua, is scheduled to take place in Shelby County Common Pleas Court beginning Tuesday and is expected to last three or four days, according to Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer. The jury trial for the attempted murder/felonious assault/kidnapping case was set to begin on Jan. 10 but was continued to allow time for further lab testing. Judge James F. Stevenson ordered the additional testing. Seitz previously was found guilty of all charges, but that verdict was overturned and a new trial ordered after a determination of serious jury misconduct during the first trial. Seitz, at the time a coowner of the Broad Street Grille in Sidney, was arrested following a Dec. 16-17, 2010, incident in which he is accused of having abducted and assaulted Scarlet E. Ashworth, 684 Maeghann Court, Tipp City, who worked at the establishment. The majority of the incident was alleged to have taken place in an apartment in Sidney.

SIDNEY Among witnesses subpoenaed for the new trial are co-workers of the two from the Broad Street Grille; Seitz’s wife, Chris; Ashworth’s parents; various police officers and detectives involved in the investigation; former Anna Police Chief Chuck Shepherd and his ex-wife, Connie, a local Realtor; Vance Short, currently in custody at the Shelby County Jail after pleading guilty to a charges of conspiracy to commit murder and complicity to commit aggravated burglary in an unrelated case; Erin Dearth, an alleged sometime-girlfriend of Seitz’s, as well as her mother; assorted individuals who came in contact with the pair on the night of the incident; and Suzanne Gayton, the emergency room physician who treated Ashworth. Attorney for the defense, Chris Bucio, filed motions this week seeking to exclude several pieces of evidence that appeared in the first trial. Bauer has filed his required response to these requests, but the judge has not yet ruled on the admissibility of the disputed pieces of evidence.

Trafficking • Continued from 1 made by a neighbor. Rohr was charged with fourthdegree felony drug trafficking, which could carry a sentence of six to 18 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Rohr was incarcerated at the Miami County Jail following his arrest. Rohr has a preliminary hearing set for Tuesday.

According to Capt. Joe Long, Troy Police stopped one of the two parked cars leaving the area, and also found a 17-year-old male, who was charged with possession of marijuana. The case remains under investigation. Rohr is a starting forward on the Troy High School boy’s basketball team.

Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly No matter what state your teeth are in, visiting a dentist on a regular basis is very important. A routine check-up every six months is sufficient to detect any problems which we cannot see for ourselves, such as gingivitis or loosening of the teeth. If you are nervous about visiting a dentist, explain what it is that frightens you. He or she will know how to reassure you.

Be sure to inform your dentist if you take any medications, if you suffer from allergies or if you are a smoker. The examination could differ depending on your condition. If you gag easily be sure to mention the fact: dental professionals often have magic tricks to counteract this phenomenon. Make an appointment to see a dental hygienist as well.

Under fire, Obama adjusts birth control policy Yet there was no doubt that Obama had found himself in an untenable position. He needed to walk back fast and find another route to his goal. The controversy over contraception and religious liberty was overshadowing his agenda, threatening to alienate key voters and giving ammunition to the Republicans running for his job. It was a mess that knocked the White House off its message and vision for a second term. Leaders from opposite sides of the divisive debate said they supported the outcome or at least suggested they probably could live with it. Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, the head of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic bishops and a fierce critic of the original rule covering hospitals

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Navy has named a ship for Gabrielle Giffords, the recently retired congresswoman from Arizona who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head received in January 2011. In a ceremony at the Pentagon, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus unveiled an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendering of the USS Gabrielle Giffords. The littoral combat ship is among the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most versatile and can operate in shallower coastal waters than larger ships. Mabus said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;God bless the USS Gabrielle Giffords and all who sail in her.â&#x20AC;? Mabus also announced that the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;sponsorâ&#x20AC;? is Roxanna Green. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mother of Christina-Taylor Green.

employers such as charities, universities and hospitals will not have to offer contraception and will not have to refer their employees to places that provide it. If an employer opts out of the requirement, its insurance company must provide birth control for free in a separate arrangement with workers who want it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very pleased,â&#x20AC;? was how Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, reacted in a statement distributed by the White House. Her trade group represents Catholic hospitals that had fought against the birth control requirement, and Keehan said the new arrangement addresses the concerns it had. Planned Parenthood, a

prominent womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health organization, said Obama had reaffirmed his commitment to birth control coverage. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Cecile Richards, added, though, that it would be monitoring for â&#x20AC;&#x153;rigorous, fair and consistentâ&#x20AC;? enforcement so women get the promised coverage. Before announcing his decision to reporters, Obama telephoned Keehan, Richards and Dolan. At the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, many shrugged and said the rewrite did not change anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accounting trick,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Gonzales of the Heritage Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do they think people are stupid?â&#x20AC;?

Wagging tails replace sad eyes in Westminster ads NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pet lovers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look away anymore when those heart-wrenching TV ads during the appear Westminster dog show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ones with the pitiful little faces peering out from behind those rusted bars of a cage and wondering â&#x20AC;&#x153;how I ended up in here.â&#x20AC;? Happy dogs will rule the air waves this year, thanks to a new sponsor for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious dog competition and a decision to air ads that shift the focus away from sad-eyed animals in need of adoption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feedback we got from our primary audience was that they were seeing commercials that made them want to turn the Westminster channel,â&#x20AC;? spokesman and longtime TV host David Frei said Thursday. Nestle Purina PetCare is the new sponsor for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious dog competition that begins Monday at Madison Square Garden, replacing Pedigree after 24 years. The switch will bring a shift in the tone of the television commercials that drew nearly as much attention as who won best in show. Gone will be the haunting music and woeful pictures of dogs with pleading eyes wasting away at the pound, hoping to be adopted. Instead, Purinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main spots will feature dogs running on the beach, catching a Frisbee, frolicking in the snow and riding a surfboard. Frei said he thought the Pedigree commercials took the wrong approach,

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to shame me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told them that and they ignored us.â&#x20AC;? He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our show is a celebration of dogs. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not promoting purebreds at the expense of non-purebreds. We celebrate all dogs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing puppies behind bars, it takes away from that. Not just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our message.â&#x20AC;? More than 2,000 purebred champion dogs are entered in the 136th Westminster Kennel Club show, with the winner to be chosen Tuesday night. Each evening at the

Garden, an announcement is read over the publicaddress system encouraging people to visit shelters and adopt a pet. The commercials air on USA Network and CNBC, which share coverage of the event. About 3.4 million viewers watched last year when a Scottish deerhound called Hickory won. Pedigree was â&#x20AC;&#x153;surprised and disappointedâ&#x20AC;? when it was dropped by Westminster, senior brand manager Lisa Campbell said. Campbell said Westminster had made it clear in recent years â&#x20AC;&#x153;that we had become too focused on adoptions.â&#x20AC;? She acknowledged that the ads struck a nerve and said there are other ways to encourage

pet adoption. She was certain, though, that the ads were effective. Campbell said shelters around the country had thanked Pedigree for raising the plight of homeless dogs. She said 4 million dogs get put in shelters each year and only half make it out. Among those who found a home was Sweet Pea, the pug mix she regularly takes to work with her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westminster has been a great platform for us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to tap into a dog-loving audience.â&#x20AC;? Melissa Martellotti, spokeswoman for parent company Mars Petcare US, said Pedigree had contributed $7 million to the pet adoption cause since 2006.

Conceding he wanted a resolution, Obama ordered advisers to find a middle ground in days, not within a year as had been the plan before the uproar. He said he spoke as a Christian who cherishes religious freedom and as a president unwilling to give up on free contraceptive care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been confident from the start that we could work out a sensible approach here, just as I promised,â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Under fierce election-year fire, President Barack Obama on Friday abruptly abandoned his stand that religious organizations must pay for free birth control for workers, scrambling to end a furor raging from the Catholic Church to Congress to his re-election foes. He demanded that insurance companies step in to provide the coverage instead. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compromise means ultimately that women would still get birth control without having to pay for it, no matter where they work. The president insisted he had stuck by that driving principle even in switching his approach, and the White House vehemently rejected any characterization that Obama had retreated under pressure.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Will Mitt Romney win the GOP nomination for president?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Semitic roots, naming someone an “Israel-firster” is highly problematic because it tends to completely and utterly delegitimize by issuing a nonnegotiable verdict. Thus, free debate is shut down instead of encouraged. Jews are not the only ones in U.S. history who have been vilified for purported “dual loyalties.” President Theodore Roosevelt denounced the “hyphenated Americanism” of German-Americans during World War I. And during World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt authorized the internment of about 110,000 Japanese-Americans. Both instances are stains on America’s history. The controversy surrounding

the use of the “Israel-firster” slur has seemingly increased appreciation in America for the need to debate positions on U.S. policy vis-a-vis Israel in an environment untainted by intimidation. Issues such as Israel’s settlement policies in Judea and Samaria must be conducted in a free and open manner regardless of where one is positioned on the political map. Claiming that the building of settlements is opposed to either U.S. or Israel interests or both is legitimate. But those who believe differently should not be silenced with the accusation that they are putting Israel’s interests before America’s. Better to let rational argument and a free exchange of opinions determine American policy.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

ANALYSIS

Romney and Paul: Not allies but not foes, either PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Mitt Romney and Ron Paul rarely even acknowledge each other in the Republican presidential race, focusing their attention and attacks on rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum instead. That curious detente is being tested in Maine’s caucuses this week, where Romney’s reputation as a political shape shifter is going head-to-head with Paul’s consistent libertarian views. The caucuses began Feb. 4 and will continue through today, when the state party will announce the results of the nonbinding presidential straw poll. Paul has campaigned hard in the state, and Romney has taken steps to shore up his position there to offset a potentially embarrassing loss following defeats in Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota. Romney unexpectedly added two caucus appearances to his schedule this morning, an indication that the campaign is concerned about the potential of another defeat in the low-turnout affair. And the significance also is great for Paul, who has staked his candidacy on winning at least a handful of smaller caucus states. Santorum, who won the three contests earlier in the week, has not competed actively in Maine, nor has Gingrich. That leaves an unusually direct contest between Romney and Paul, pitting the former Massachusetts governor’s establishment support and geographic advantages against the Texas congressman’s relatively small but passionate band of activists. In many ways, the two candidates could not be more different. While Romney has changed positions on a number of important issues including abortion, gay rights and health care policy, Paul has hewed to his small government message since entering Congress in 1978. The Maine face-off also is renewing attention to the persistent deep divisions in the GOP the more moderate, business-oriented wing represented by Romney and the restless tea party voters who’ve been receptive to much of Paul’s platform. Romney’s aides say they do not view Paul as a threat to winning the nomination. But Romney and his team have also been mindful not to do or say anything that might anger Paul’s loyal supporters. “I think he’s being very careful because he knows how important the Ron Paul voters are — they obviously represent a very different dynamic,” said Mike Dennehy, a former top aide to Republican John McCain’s 2008 campaign. “They are the most passionate and the most frustrated of any voters heading to the polls. And many of them are independents.” To be sure, Romney and Paul do share some similarities. Both have decades-long marriages Romney and his wife, Ann, have been married for 43 years, while Paul and his wife, Carol, have been wed 55 years. The two couples each have five children and large broods of grandchildren. Both Romney and Paul are physically fit and highly disciplined in their personal habits. They’re also religious Romney is a Mormon, and Paul is a Baptist who leaves the campaign trail most Sundays in part to attend church services near his Texas home. Both men are veterans of the 2008 Republican nomination contest and are on friendly personal terms, as are their wives, aides say. The relationship in part explains their unwillingness to attack one another. Paul’s TV ads, which have included harsh, pointed critiques of Santorum and Gingrich, have been much easier on Romney. Romney has returned the favor.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Jerusalem Post on the term “Israel-firster”: Finally, after nearly two months of bickering, controversy surrounding the use by some on the American Left of the term “Israel-firster” to describe American Jews with a hawkish, pro-Israel orientation seems to have finally settled down. In the process, some important distinctions have been made and lines drawn. Significantly, some on the Left have stood up and acknowledged the anti-Semitic roots of the slur, which apparently originated with Holocaust deniers on the extreme Right in the 1970s and was co-opted in the past decade by radical leftist, anti-Israel bodies … Besides the distastefulness of using a term with anti-

DOONESBURY

Five signs you’re entering the terrible two zone Our darling little girl is officially 21 months old. I’m officially the mother of an almost-2-year-old child. When did that happen? By every definition she is a toddler, from her height, weight and other stats to the milestones she’s meeting and the attitude she’s toting around. Oh, and did I mention the tantrums? There are a lot of them these days. I’m not sure who decided to name this phase that my daughter is entering the “terrible twos,” but I feel like something along the lines of “terrible, tantrum-throwing, makes you want to punch yourself in the face so you can focus on something other than the high pitch squeals of rage coming from your child twos.” Too wordy perhaps? So despite being three months shy of actually turning terrible two, I’m going to go ahead and assume that she’s a little ahead of the game based on these five, really big, really hard to ignore signs. For starters, she wakes up angry. How on Earth could this tiny human being that sleeps 1213 hours a night wake up in such a terrible, terrible mood? I mean,

Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist if I can get an average of five hours of sleep a night and still manage to wake up and not kill everything that crosses my path, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that my darling little girl who gets double the amount of shut eye is a semi-decent human being to be around. I mean, really? And if that first sign isn’t bad enough, you should see what a picky, hates-anything-her-momsuggests eater she has become. This little girl used to shovel whatever you put in front of her into her mouth, whether it was peas, pumpkin or tofu. Now, she goes on week-long will only eat potatoes and bananas binges. It’s not that she doesn’t like all those other foods still — she does — I just think she gets a rush from

making her mom panic over what nutrients she’s not getting. While picky eating might come along with the motherhood territory, this bossiness my little girl has picked up definitely shouldn’t be. I mean seriously, it doesn’t seem right that my not-even-2-year-old daughter is already calling the shots. She grabs my finger and pulls me along, because clearly, whatever I had planned for the day isn’t nearly as important as sitting on the floor and staring at the Mickey Mouse decals on her wall for 25 minutes. See, terrible twos equal bossy pants daughter. And what happens if I don’t cater to every whim my darling daughter has? She throws a fullout, kicking, screaming, screeching, howling, holding her breath and not anything else back tantrum. I’m not sure the word tantrum even begins to describe what is happening to my daughter when she starts one of her “spells.” If you so much as tell her “no” she switches into combat mode and alerts the press. This little girl has a serious pair of lungs on her. The worst part? I’ve tried every humanly possible way to handle these little episodes. From ignoring her, to

mocking her, to disciplining her, to straight up walking out of the room and vowing to not return until she’s done with her little fit, nothing works on her. It’s like she knows the one thing I can’t stand – her howling – and she keeps doing it until my spirit is broken. And lastly, she’s a drama queen. When she’s not busy ruining my life with one of her famous fits, she’s acting like a catty teenage girl. From fighting over men (usually her Mickey Mouse or Elmo stuffed animal) to getting sassy with mommy when I try to put her in anything other than a dress or something with ruffles or Daisy Duck on it, my 21 month old is apparently going on 16. The good news? Along with all these terrible two-some adventures have come some pretty sweet miracles; like using her big girl potty for the first time and saying “I love you mommy.” Yeah, I guess when it comes down to it, the twos aren’t all that terrible if a potty trained, clothdiaper retired daughter is in my future.

Cincinnati neighborhood on cusp of renaissance CINCINNATI (AP) — Through all the years when once-thriving Walnut Hills seemed to be engulfed by rampant crime and deteriorating buildings, Clarence Taylor never stopped believing in the Cincinnati neighborhood. His parents moved to Walnut Hills from Evanston in 1970 when he was 8. Taylor has never left the neighborhood. He and his wife, Brenda, live a halfblock from the home of his 83-year-old mother, Millie Taylor. “I saw the potential,” said Taylor, who recently became president of the Walnut Hills Area Council. “I always felt that when people understood the amenities of Walnut Hills Eden Park, the nice big homes, the luxury of living near downtown and the interstate highways, being able to walk places things would turn around.” The faith in the neighborhood he and others have displayed over the years is starting to pay off. After decades of decline, Walnut Hills is showing signs of being on the cusp of a renaissance. People of all ages, both white and black, are moving into newly built houses and condos, as well as large, older homes. Crime has dropped in recent years. With encouragement and help from the city, the neighborhood is attracting the interest of commercial and residential developers. The total residential property value in Walnut Hills has risen from about $146 million in 2000 to $171 million in 2010, a 17.1 percent increase, according to a Cincinnati Enquirer analysis. During that same period, citywide residential property value fell 5.4 percent. Some small businesses — restaurants, offices, retail shops — have popped up at various spots along McMillan, William Howard Taft and Gilbert, the neighborhood’s primary arteries. Neighborhood and city leaders and private developers are trying to recapture some of the grandeur Walnut Hills enjoyed before a decline that began after World War II. The rebirth comes at a critical time for Cincinnati. Less than a mile away in Over-the-Rhine and Downtown, more than $500 million in new investment in recent years has sparked a rebirth of the city’s urban core that’s delivering new condos, apartments, restaurants and storefronts.

“Cincinnati’s experiencing a major urban renaissance, and we think Walnut Hills is next in line for that to happen,” said Kevin Wright, the new executive director of the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation, a nonprofit development corporation. A key focal point of efforts to revive Walnut Hills is the East McMillan Street business district, centered at Gilbert Avenue. For years, it’s been dominated by deteriorating, vacant buildings. The city has recently invested $900,000, using funds from the Walnut Hills tax increment financing district, to buy up property and clear blighted buildings on property it owns in the corridor. Another $1 million has been reserved to help stabilize the buildings that remain. “Neighborhoods are like ecosystems,” said Wright. “If you let just one thing go, it has a ripple effect on the entire community. This street and district was abandoned, but we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here to really transform it.” In step with the city’s efforts, Walnut Hills-based developers Ed Horgan and Al Merritt have also been buying property along McMillan with plans to create a mixed-use development that could include retail, offices, condos and apartments. Some existing buildings would be rehabbed, others torn down. In the past decade, Horgan and Merritt have redeveloped more than a dozen properties along Park, McMillan and Gilbert avenues in hopes of sparking the neighborhood’s renewal. Their work has yielded more than 200 renovated condominiums at restored properties, including the Verona at Eden Park and Cooper Historic Residences, two neighboring buildings on Park Avenue that were converted from apartments into condominiums in the last five years. The units are selling from $150,000 to more than $400,000, with the Cooper completely sold out and more than 75 percent of the Verona sold. In 2007, Horgan purchased the former Frisch’s restaurant on McMillan. He says he did it to block plans for a dollar store. Since then, Parkside Cafe a restaurant serving breakfast and lunch, has opened and become a

“neighborhood gathering place,” Wright said. Key to supporting the new development are plans to make one-way McMillan and William Howard Taft into two-way streets. “People are speeding through at 50 miles per hour,” said Horgan. “Shop owners don’t have a chance.” By the end of the year, Wright said, the redevelopment foundation hopes to have a developer on board to help craft a plan for the city-owned properties along McMillan. “We’re on the precipice of a major transformation of this district,” Wright said. “Hopefully 2013 will be a year of ground-breakings for Walnut Hills.” Improvements in the neighborhood’s homeownership rate, which ticked up 3 percent in the last decade, and work to revitalize Walnut Hills’ business district are all steps in the right direction, says Frank Russell, a professor of urban planning and director of the University of Cincinnati’s Community Design Center and the Niehoff Urban Studio. “I think they’re doing all the right things,” Russell said, “but the fundamental, key factor for any neighborhood is going to be leadership. I think they have that now in Walnut Hills.” The neighborhood inherited its name from Walnut Farm, owned by the Rev. James Kemper, a Presbyterian minister who moved there in 1794. The construction of Lane Seminary on what is now Gilbert Avenue in 1829 drew more residents to the area. Lyman Beecher, a minister, moved his family to Walnut Hills when he became seminary president in 1832. One of his daughters, Harriet Beecher Stowe, used the knowledge she gained about slavery during the 18 years she lived in Cincinnati to write “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” She wrote the landmark anti-slavery novel after moving from Cincinnati to Connecticut in 1850. The house the Beechers lived in on Gilbert Avenue is a museum called the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. Cincinnati annexed Walnut Hills in 1850. By the 1940s, much of the neighborhood’s housing stock was old and in need of repair. Property owners divided large houses into three- and four-family apartments.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Consult a lawyer, or discuss the issues with your kids Dear Annie: I am 90 years old and am concerned that after I die my kids will squabble over my things. So I would like to work it out before that happens. I have a daughter who lives in another state and two wonderful daughters-in-law who live nearby. "Dora" and my oldest son have helped me the most. When my husband was still living, they arranged a reverse mortgage on our house by making us a loan from their personal funds. When my husband became feeble, Dora began doing my grocery shopping. Every Sunday, she brings a nice dinner, and my son does any needed repairs around the house. She always brings me a gift on Mother's Day and on my birthday. I already have given Dora two nice heirlooms, and I know she would like to have my mother's sterling silver. My daughter will get the antique wall clock, and my other daughter-in-law gets the china closet. How do I divide the rest of the stuff? Should I give Dora the sterling now? — Old in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please speak to an estate planner or, at the very least, a lawyer who can handle your will. As tempting as it is to give more to Dora than the others, it could create all sorts of resentments later. The division of your estate should be relatively equal, but you can make special gifts of pieces of jewelry or sentimental items. If you think your children will behave themselves, it can help to discuss this with all of them in advance, asking each child to select one item that they would like to have. And yes, you can give it to them while you are around to see them enjoy it. Dear Annie: Am I the only person who is disappointed by generic email Christmas and birthday cards? They seem so impersonal, and I do not appreciate receiving such cold greetings. One longtime friend has resorted to this, in spite of the fact that I always mail her an old-fashioned, hand-signed card. How can I get her to stop sending me email cards without hurting her feelings? Would it be rude to return the greeting to her? I'm an old-fashioned person who was raised during the age of smoke signals and find that life used to be much simpler and warmer. — Over-Seventy Attitude Dear Attitude: We agree that email cards are less personal than handwritten notes, but it does take a certain amount of effort to select the right one from hundreds of possibilities, so try to give your friend credit for that. And many people have stopped sending cards altogether, which is a shame. Please accept these cards in the spirit in which they were sent — that is, to convey good wishes to you. (But do please continue to send handwritten notes of your own. They are much more charming.) Dear Annie: "Iowa" doesn't like that her husband still goes to bars, but when he asks whether it's OK for him to go alone, she always says "yes." She should tell her husband that her interests have changed and then work on a compromise. Why not tell him directly that she really wants to be with him on those precious weekends when he opts to go out with friends? She could propose specific activities she would like instead. She could even suck it up and agree to accompany him once a month. And if the point of going to bars is being with friends, perhaps she could host an event for them at her home. — Fred Dear Fred: You are correct that if she doesn't express herself, the situation isn't likely to change. We like your suggestions and hope she will consider them. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Vinegar created a clear path for shower head Dear Heloise: A few months ago, while helping my dad with some things in the house, we could not figure out how to get calcium deposits off the shower head in his bathroom. The water was barely flowing. He dismantled the shower head and soaked it in a bowl of vinegar. Within 30 minutes, it was perfectly clean and void of any blockage. My mother, who always used vinegar, and Heloise knew what they were doing! Our water is full of calcium and leaves showers and sinks spotted! I had tried expensive bathroom and tile cleaners. Nothing succeeded until I started pouring straight vinegar over the calcium buildup. (Heloise here: Do

Hints from Heloise Columnist not pour on real marble.) Vinegar has become my cleaner of choice. I just wanted to thank you. — Sherry in New Braunfels, Texas Sherry, thank you for sharing how super vinegar is. Vinegar certainly is a workhorse around the home, and it is one of my favorite go-to cleaners! I have compiled a

collection filled with money-saving and “green” vinegar hints. If you would like to receive one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Fresh cola stains should come out of most washable fabrics after being sponged with white vinegar. Launder as usual. — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Cathy in Madison, Maine, sent us a picture of Duckie, her 130-pound mixedbreed dog, crashed out on the couch next to Zelda, a tortoise-colored cat. They look like best buddies! To see Duckie and Zelda, visit

www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise CAREFUL SHIPPING Dear Heloise: I would like to warn your readers regarding shipping valuable pictures. My mother moved across the country several years ago. To save space in the moving van, she sent her three children’s baby pictures (through high school) to her new address. The boxes never reached the intended destination. Hence, all the pictures were lost! — Sue in Rogers, Ark. Yikes! Sorry to hear about this, but thank you for writing to warn my readers. Better to carry precious personal items with you when you move. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012 You will soon realize that most of the seeds you’ve sown in the past have actually fallen on productive soil and are now ready to bear fruit. Don’t be surprised at what develops for you in the year ahead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — One of the things you’ll do best is take the complicated concepts or suggestions of others and root out their base values. What you’ll get can be put to practical use. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something from which you surprisingly made money previously can provide another bonanza once again. It’s time to resurrect that old provider once more. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A problem for which you have no answer might find its resolution from someone in your family. Seeing things from a different perspective may be all that is needed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You should give full expression to your creative urges, because you’re exceptionally capable of producing something that will please not only yourself but others as well. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t despair if things have been far too dull for far too long in the romance department. Cupid is likely to have some swift and favorable changes in store for your love life that will come really soon. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When you’re out and about, keep your eyes open for that item you’ve been wanting but have found too expensive to even think about. You might run across something similar at a very tasty price. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You are likely to need some kind of activity that permits you to move about both mentally and physically. It would be perfect if you could find something that challenges you in both these areas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Do not discount any bright idea you get that could either make or save you some money. What you conceive in your mind can be accomplished, even if it’s only in part. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t settle for being a vice chairman, or worse yet, some kind of gofer, even if it involves mere committee work for a private club. You won’t do a good job unless you’re running the show. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Two separate friends may both sense that you’re not likely to betray anything told to you in private, and as such select you to share their private burdens. You’ll not let them down. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your hopes are likely to be rather high, but that does not make it wrong to believe in them. Huge expectations can provide an outsized motivation to try harder than usual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Whistle while you work, because progress comes easier when you find enjoyment in what you’re doing, even if your involvements are serious and demanding.

bending over backward to help.” Those who have assisted Spitler include the Veterans Memorial Museum in Germantown, the 101st Airborne Division of W.W.II Historical ReEnactment Society, the Central Ohio Military Museum in Grove City, Joseph Helfrich of Bradford, Hess Homestead of Covington, the Museum of Troy History, Arcanum Wayne Trail Historical Society, Garst Museum, Brukner Nature Center, and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at WrightPatterson Air Force Base. Copies of “World War II on an LST” are available for check-out at several libraries including the Greenville, Pleasant Hill and Troy libraries. Piqua TV5 has aired the documentary and it can also be purchased at the USS LST Ship Memorial Inc., in Evansville, Ind. “They were loving farmers and had to become warriors, and that’s one thing I’m bringing out,” said Spitler on both of her documentaries. “And then they had to come back and put it all behind them and go on with their lives as if nothing happened.” If interested in assisting with the “Write When You Can” documentary, contact Diana Spitler at (574) 8509825 or email rdfarms@embarqmail.com

Documentary • Continued from 1 Enlisted in the Navy, Marion, a radio operator, was aboard an LST (landing ship tank) and saw action at Normandy (D-Day), four different beaches and the Okinawa Invasion. While Melvin served in the Army Air Forces as a radio operator and mechanic, first flying planes across the ocean to be used in Europe before tackling the Hump, a treacherous flight over the Himalayans into China to supply Chinese forces fighting Japan. Brother Dale served in the Navy on an aircraft carrier in Guantanamo Bay during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Sent to the East Coast due to worries of a coordinated attack between Japan and Germany, the ship was sunk and the few survivors, including Dale, were transferred to another carrier in the Pacific, where a kamikaze plane crashed onto the deck. These are just a few of the stories shared on the LST documentary, and after its release in 2007 Spitler said, the Adams family began to send her letters, 600 in total, that had been written between family members during the war. “Here I am sitting on these gold coins,” said Spitler of the letters. “Do I bury them or do something with them?” Spitler chose to do something, feeling that the letters set the family’s story apart from other documentaries, as she gleaned what she considered to be the best comments from those 600 to write a script starting back in February 2008. “These letters actually interact with each other,” said Spitler. “You will hear about Dale writing home and asking questions or making comments, then his mother writes back to him answering questions or telling him something about how things are back home.” However, it would take more than letters to con-

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 branches are Union 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.

Even with all of the potential for distraction, the Troy Trojans played more focused and in-sync than they had all season. And as a result, they’re all alone atop the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division. Despite missing two starters due to a violation of team rules earlier in the week, the Trojans jumped out to an 11-0 lead over GWOC North rival Yellowjackets

Tipp boys, girls take 2nd in CBC Staff Reports

The final match at Garby Gymnasium on Friday night wasn’t technically billed as the main event. But with Troy’s Kevin McGraw and Piqua’s Brandon Pummill going headto-head, the 182-pound bout certainly had that feel.

After Friday’s Central Buckeye Conference meet, the Tippecanoe Red Devil boys and girls both finished second in the league — the best league finishes for the Red Devils — with the boys shooting a second-place 3,816 at the tournament and the girls a third-place 3,400.

PIQUA Just last Saturday at the Greater Western Ohio Conference meet, Pummill scored a 3-1 overtime victory over McGraw in the fifth-place match. Then on Friday, Pummill did it again, getting a late take down on McGraw to escape with a 4-3 victory in Piqua — after McGraw held a 3-1 lead going into the third round. ”It’s a senior (Pummill) wrestling our sophomore (McGraw),“ Troy coach Doug Curnes said. “The senior is wrestling the best he can wrestle, then you have

MIAMI COUNTY

ARCANUM — Miami East has done it once again. With a 68-49 victory over Arcanum in Cross County Conference action on Friday night, the Miami East Vikings clinched at least a share of the league title for a second year in a row. The Vikings had 12 steals and forced 19 Arcanum turnovers in the game. “This was a good, solid win for us on the road,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “This gets us one step closer to our goal of

winning the outright conference title. The guys played exceptionally well.” Four Vikings were in double figures, with Gunner Shirk and Bradley Coomes each scoring 14. Shirk also added five steals. Luke Clark and Josh Snyder added 10 points apiece, while Garrett Mitchell chipped in seven points and eight rebounds. The Vikings (16-2) will win the CCC crown outright with a win on the road against Twin Valley South on Friday.

Tippecanoe 64, Kenton Ridge 50 TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe used the second and third quarters to put the game away. But the ceremony beforehand stood out, as well. Tippecanoe outscored Kenton Ridge 40-17 in the middle quarters, then the Red Devils held off a late Kenton Ridge to hold on for a 64-50 victory Friday in Tipp City — on a night where the Tippecanoe High School gymnasium was dedicated to Pat Wampler, a longtime Board of Education member. “That’s something that these

kids will never forget. This was a big night for us and a big win for this team,” Tippecanoe coach Matt Pond said. “That’s two good wins in a row for us. The kids played really well together. Brandon Ervin had another big night for Tipp, scoring 21 points — with 19 of those coming in the second and third quarters — and grabbing 10 rebounds. Nick Fischer netted 16 and had five assists and Cameron Johnson added 15 points and six assists. The Red Devils (8-11) play

Tyler Miller put up a double-double, leading the Trojans (12-6, 9-0 GWOC North) with 22 points and 11 rebounds and hitting three of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine 3pointers, setting the tone early by scoring the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first eight points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and helping the Trojans outrebound the Jackets 42-26. Cody May added 16 points, seven rebounds and seven assists and Seth Lucas chipped in 12 points and six assists. First-time starters

Jordan Price and Dylan Cascaden also played well filling in for the suspended players, with Price knocking down two 3s and scoring eight points and Cascaden hitting a 3 to finish with three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tyler had a great game, and Cody gutted it out after being sick this week,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seth stepped up to take over the point and did a nice job, and Jordan Price and Dylan Cascaden gave us some great minutes.â&#x20AC;? Dre Hudson added six points off the bench as Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backups outscored Sidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-11, with only one of Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 players on the roster not scoring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of unsung heroes tonight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

With the win, Troy sits at 9-0 in GWOC North play with only a home game against Piqua to go in Feb. 17â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular-season finale. And the Trojans never left anything in doubt. After a 3 by Devon Alexander and a putback by May, Troy held a 22-5 lead late in the first quarter. Sidney (3-14, 3-6) began to edge its way back in after Patwaun Hudson hit a 3 and converted a three-point

play in the second quarter to make it 27-16 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but then Hudson committed a foul on May in transition and was called for a technical for arguing the play, and May hit all four free throws to put Troy firmly in control. The Trojans had their best night of the season from the free throw line, going 19 for 22 as a team with May and Lucas both going 9 for 10. Troy led by as much as 55-30 late in the third after a May 3, but Hudson tried to shoot Sidney back into the game, hitting four fourth-quarter 3s on his way to a 22-point night. Sidney cut it to 64-49 before Price nailed his second 3 of the game, and Troy cruised

Bucks edge Cavs in OT

Bowling

(AP) CLEVELAND Brandon Jennings scored 24 points and made a big layup in overtime as the Milwaukee Bucks rallied for a 113-112 win Friday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were without rookie guard Kyrie Irving and lost center Anderson Varejao in the third quarter with a sprained wrist. Jennings added eight assists for the Bucks, who trailed by 10 late in the third period right after Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles was ejected. Drew Gooden scored 19 points and made two free throws with 4.4 seconds left in OT for Milwaukee. Antawn Jamison had a season-high 34 points and 11 rebounds, but Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forward missed two free throws after a foul underneath on Gooden with 3.7 seconds to go in regulation and the game tied. Ramon Sessions added 16 assists in his second start in place of Irving, who missed his second straight game with a concussion. The Cavaliers went just 4 of 14 from the field and 2 of 6 from the line in the final 8:06. Gooden scored Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first four points in OT, and after the Cavs pulled to 108-106, Jennings drove the lane and dropped his layup in over rookie Tristan Thompson. Jennings later split a pair of free throws, keeping Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes alive, but Alonzo Gee made just 1 of 2 free throws for the Cavs to make it 111-109 with 5.2 seconds left. Gooden was fouled and made his two free throws to

Lavercombe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second-place finishes are the best weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had. Coach Grubb and I are just so proud of them, and I hope we can (ride) this momentum into sectional play.â&#x20AC;?

On Thursday, Jennings, who was miffed about not being named an All-Star reserve, caused some angst among Bucks fans by saying in an interview with ESPN.com that he was already â&#x20AC;&#x153;doing my homeworkâ&#x20AC;? on big-market teams. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eligible for free agency in two years. Before the game, Jennings tried to clarify his comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to be worried about,â&#x20AC;? said Jennings, who is under contract through next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of got blown out of pro-

portion a little bit. I never said I was leaving. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking to be in any big market or anything like that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m keeping my options open. After being in this a couple years, I understand the business of basketball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still going to be here playing hard every night and my focus is to get into the playoffs.â&#x20AC;? Skiles said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking about Jenningsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long time before that (free agency) would happen,â&#x20AC;? Skiles said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still on his rookie deal. The system is the system. The players have a right to operate within the system. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me what he said. Players have options and the teams have options. If people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the system they probably should have changed it.â&#x20AC;?

Irving missed his first game as a pro Wednesday after being diagnosed with concussion symptoms shortly before tip-off against the Clippers. He will also sit out Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home game against Philadelphia, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play again until next Wednesday against Indiana at the earliest. Under the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new concussion guidelines, players are not permitted to do any physical activity until their symptoms go away completely. Irving complained of a headache earlier this week after he was inadvertently kneed in the head at Miami. The 19-yearold did nothing on Friday but watch the game from the end of Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench smartly dressed in a charcoal gray suit instead of his usual white No. 2 jersey.

Sandusky wants more freedom BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jerry Sandusky declared Friday that people have turned against him, moments after the ex-Penn State football coordinator asked a judge for greater freedom while he awaits trial on child sex abuse charges. Sandusky was in a Centre County courtroom and asked a judge to let him see relatives, including supervised visits with his grandchildren, and friends. He denies the criminal allegations. The judge could rule early next week on Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. Sandusky also said he felt people who had been welcomed in his home were now trying to keep him confined indoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve associated with thousands of young people over the years,â&#x20AC;? said Sandusky, 68, the former Penn State defensive coordinator charged with 52 criminal counts involving 10 victims over 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now, all of a sudden, because of allegations and perceptions that have been tried to be created of me, now I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take our dog on my deck and throw out biscuits to him.â&#x20AC;? Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home borders an elementary school and its playground. After he sought permission to see relatives

and friends and leave his home to help lawyers prepare his case, the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office countered with a court filing that said neighbors expressed concern for the safety of children. A teacher and intern also reported that he had been watching children from his back deck. Prosecutors want an order that restricts Sandusky to the inside of his home, which a county probation officer said would be unusual for people under inhome detention. His lawyer, Joe Amendola, told Judge John Cleland that Sandusky had not sought probation officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approval for adult visitors, but he was seeking the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission because he sensed the officers were reluctant to do anything out of the ordinary. An investigator said none of the complaints involved Sandusky approaching children. State prosecutor Jonelle Eshbach told the judge that a clearly defined trip to help his legal team would be one thing, but she was against letting him have visitors. The allegations include charges he sexually attacked a boy in the basement of his home, while his wife was upstairs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This home was not safe for children for 15 years, and

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not safe for children now,â&#x20AC;? Eshbach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that the actual contact, visitation with his grandchildren is not a good idea. And we also feel that way with regard to visitors.â&#x20AC;? Prosecutors noted that one daughter-in-law strongly objects to increased contact between her children and Sandusky, while Amendola presented the court with letters from Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, and notes and drawings from his grandchildren, expressing their desire for increased contact. He also noted a courtappointed guardian for grandchildren who are part of a custody dispute found no reason Sandusky couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Comparing with a jail situation, were he in jail, he would have certain rights to have visitors,â&#x20AC;? Amendola told Cleland. State investigator Anthony Sassano testified that children had noticed Sandusky from their classroom, and that his presence was disrupting school activities. One neighbor had used a video camera to document Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time on his deck, Sassano said. He said Sandusky was seen on the video brushing his dog or letting the dog go outside to play.

Battle for total Big Ten control COLUMBUS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has been through this all before. Big weekend in the Big Ten. Big game against a big opponent. On and on. So, you can understand that he was cool and composed when asked about Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference clash in Columbus. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the No. 11 Spartans against No. 2 Ohio State, and all that goes with it in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work to do, but this is a fun time,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big game and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put ourselves in a

position to have a big game.â&#x20AC;? Even though the No. 2 Buckeyes (21-3, 9-2 Big Ten) will still have two-thirds of the conference schedule left after the game, coach Thad Matta knows a head-to-head matchup with the closest pursuer is important because of the balance throughout the league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From top to bottom, in the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in the Big Ten, this is probably as good as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cut above, (but) the parity this year is just incredible.â&#x20AC;? The Spartans (18-5, 7-3) and Buckeyes can attest to

that as they had to overcome struggles against lower teams this week leading to the showdown. Purdue on Tuesday became only the third opponent during the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 39-game home winning streak to lead in the second half. The Boilermakers pulled into a tie with five minutes left, before losing 87-84. The next night, last-place Penn State trailed 52-47 with nine minutes remaining before Michigan State pulled away from the visitors for a 77-57 victory. Afterward, Penn State

coach Patrick Chambers, whose Nittany Lions lost by 24 at Ohio State on Jan. 25, spoke about the power of this Saturday showdown â&#x20AC;Ś and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even a part of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two different styles. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come down to the wire.â&#x20AC;? Purdue coach Matt Painter, perhaps trying to set a tone, thinks the officials may have a say in it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both tough teams and physical,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on how it gets AP PHOTO called. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be real- Purdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lewis Jackson, left, goes to the basket as ly important how the game Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s William Buford (44) defends during the first half Tuesday in Columbus. is called.â&#x20AC;?

A game official rules the final Hail Mary pass incomplete as New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski could not reach a tipped ball at Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday in Indianapolis.

Patsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gronkowski has ankle surgery FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had arthroscopic surgery Friday on the left ankle that hampered him in the Super Bowl, according to the Sports Business Journal. The Patriots declined comment. Gronkowski, who set an NFL single-season record for tight ends 17 touchdown with receptions, had just two catches for 26 yards in the 21-17 loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in Indianapolis last Sunday. His recovery is expected to last 10-12 weeks and end before the Patriots begin organized team activities in the spring. Messages left for Gronkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives were not immediately returned. The All-Pro tight end, a second-round draft pick in 2010 out of Arizona, suffered a highankle sprain in the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens in Foxborough, a 23-20 victory. Gronkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury and playing status

became a major story during an otherwise slow Super Bowl week. He was listed as questionable on Friday, 48 hours before the game. He had worn a walking boot for a week before shedding it the Monday before the Super Bowl. He said he had been making progress every day, but he participated in just one practice, on the Thursday before the game, and that was on a limited basis. On the final play of the Super Bowl, Gronkowski was involved in a desperation pass by Tom Brady into the end zone on a thirdand-5 at the Patriots 49yard line. Tight end Aaron Hernandez and three Giants went up for the ball and it landed just out of the reach of a lunging Gronkowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like I was close,â&#x20AC;? Gronkowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But close isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.â&#x20AC;? He also was the intended receiver on a long pass by Brady that was intercepted by Chase Blackburn at the Giants 8-yard line on the second play of the fourth quarter with the Patriots leading 17-15.

Kevin, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not wrestling the best he can wrestle yet. Obviously, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a couple years left. So, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take our sophomore.â&#x20AC;? McGraw finished with a record of 1-1 on the night, winning his first match by forfeit. As a team, the Trojans went 0-2 at the tri-meet, losing to Greenville by a count of 45-27 and falling to Piqua 49-29. Troy, however, had to forfeit several matches without wrestlers in a number of classes. And several Trojans had success, with Tyler Sparks, Mason Perkins and Ryne Rich all going 20 on the day. Sparks (120) took down Jordan Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jenkinson in his first match, winning by pinfall in the second round. In Sparksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second match, he scored a pin on Piquaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trenton Dreer 18 seconds into the match. Perkins (126), however, had to do things the hard way in his first match, as he outlasted Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Barga in three rounds for a 20-18 win. Then in his second match, Perkins won 23-8, defeating Piquaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Fielder by technical fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Masonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grinder,â&#x20AC;? Curnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He goes out hard no matter who heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing. His work ethic is just great.â&#x20AC;? Rich had little trouble with his first opponet of the day, pinning Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Lingston 1:21 into the first round.

Rich scored a forfeit victory for his second win of the night. After getting pinned by Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ian Warner in his first match, Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyle Croft (113) came back strong to defeat Piquaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brent McLaughlin by pinfall in his second match. Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan Schlosser (145) also went 1 for 2 on the day, defeating Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim Harless by pin with 1:01 left in the first round and losing to Piquaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tyler Ouhl in his second match. Logan Etherington (138) went 1 for 2, as well, losing to Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Quigney and winning by forfeit in the second match. Up next for the Trojans is the Division I Sectional meet, which will take begin on Friday at Centerville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just told the guys, give it what you have in your gut,â&#x20AC;? Curnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take it in Monday, work through the week and be motivated and ready come out hard next week.â&#x20AC;? Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan Schlosser takes Greenvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim Harless for a ride during a tri-meet Friday at Garby Gymnasium in Piqua.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On a day when sunshine gave way to a light rain, two things stayed the same Friday at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Charlie Wi was still atop the leaderboard, and Tiger Woods didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hole enough putts to make up ground. Wi escaped most of the rain at Pebble Beach, where he holed a wedge from the 13th fairway for eagle and limited the damage to a bogey on his final hole for a 3-under 69 that allowed him to open a three-shot lead. Dustin Johnson was caught off guard by the rain in the worst way. He stood in the fourth fairway at Spyglass with a shortsleeve shirt, hands thrust in his pocket, as his caddie sent a friend running up

the hill to the parking lot to retrieve his rain gear. His short game let him down, and the two-time Pebble champion had to settle for a 72 that put him three back. Padraig Harrington had a 66 at Pebble Beach and was among those tied for third. Harrington had five birdies in a six-hole stretch early in his round, the exception coming at the par-5 sixth. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Open M E L B O U R N E , Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open champion So Yeon Ryu shot a 4-under 69 to take a one-stroke lead over fellow South Korean player Hee Kyung Seo in the LPGA Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opening Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Open.
