TIPP CITY intendent Dr. John Kronour said a One Call Now message was sent to notify parents of high school students about the incident. Classes will go on as planned for the rest of the week.

Tippecanoe High School and Tipp City Police officials investigated a threatening note found Wednesday on school property. Tipp City Schools Super-

Kronour said the note was found in the boys’ restrooms before lunch. He said the note was cryptic in nature with the words including: school, Columbine, No. 2, 2/14/13 and good luck.” “We got the police involved right away,” Kronour said. “We are

going to be investigating this incident. We have plans in place and will follow proper safety procedures (Thursday).” Kronour said he met with administrative staff on Wednesday to go over protocol, and evening events at Tippecanoe High School went on as scheduled despite a small delay.

Fire causes evacuation A trailer caught fire outside the Troy Walmart late Tuesday, causing the store at 1801 W. Main St. to be evacuated as smoke entered through a back door. At about 11:45 p.m., the trailer belonging to contractor At Your Service, Inc. caught fire when the heater unit used for cleaning refrigeration coils malfunctioned, said Troy assistant fire chief Matt Simmons.

Olympic torch glows dimmer The Olympic torch glows dimmer today. Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee made a stunning decision that has turned the sport of wrestling on its cauliflower ear. The IOC — the same fun group of people that has brought you bribes, kickbacks and ignored human rights violations when awarding bids to Olympic venues — made the decision to eliminate wrestling following the 2016 Olympics.

Diane Hoying from St. Patrick School assists Father Jim Duell (not pictured) and others with distributing ashes during a mid-day mass held Wednesday at St. Patrick Catholic Church as Lent arrives – a season of spiritual growth and renewal. Ashes are made from burned palm leaves and marks the beginning of the Season of Lent.

A full church Worshippers celebrate Ash Wednesday services BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Ash Wednesday services at St. Patrick Catholic Church filled every seat in the sanctuary, which Father TROY Jim Duell noted with a smile. “This is what you call a pastor’s dream,” said Father Duell as he walked up and down the aisle. “We called this S.R.O. — for standing room only.” St. Patrick Catholic School students participated in the Ash Wednesday services in song and in service. “The kids look forward to planning the Masses and participating,” said St. Patrick Elementary School Principal Cyndi Cathcart. “That’s what makes the services like Ash Wednesday Mass special.” Duell acknowledged the benches full of Catholic worshippers, who began the Lenten season with the traditional ashes placed on the fore-

head. “There is something special about this day and we are all called together on this day,” Father Duell said. “Lent means spring time, or new growth.” Father Duell told the congregation how he and students of the St. Patrick Catholic School burnt last year’s palms from Palm Sunday to make the ashes for the ceremony Wednesday. “Lent is not a glorified to-do list,” Father Duell said, noting people all too often focus on the fasting, the penance and the traditional “givingup” vices. “It’s not all about what I give up. This is a time we focus on Christ.” Father Duell said the season of Lent is not a time to draw attention to oneself with phrases such as, “Oh! I’ve got to fast,” but rather to “draw attention to our hearts.” Father Duell urged those to become ambassadors for Christ. “We’ve talked a lot about giving up something they really like — not just pop, candy or video games,”

More info: Important dates to remember during the season of Lent: • March 28 — Maunday Thursday • March 29 — Good Friday • March 31 — Easter Sunday

Cathcart said. “Father Duell said we need to be like ambassadors for Christ, so we’ll be looking for ways to do that and keep that in mind during Lent.” Students had a special ceremony Tuesday, complete with the traditional storage of the Alleluia banner in a special box. “The students put up the Alleluia banner to symbolize that this is a solemn time,” Cathcart said. “We will wait until Jesus has risen to sing Alleluia once again.” Stations of the Cross are observed and led by St. Patrick Catholic School students in the church each Friday during Lent at 2:30 p.m.

During a program at Lincoln Community Center, Troy resident Paul Sarber will be honored for his extensive research on black Civil War soldiers, including the discovery that Paul Laurence Dunbar’s father Joshua served in the war. Sarber will be commemorated in conjunction with Black History Month activities beginning at 6 p.m. Feb. 16 at the center. “Paul passed on the research that he’s done over the last 40 years over to me,” said the center’s director Shane Carter. “The Lincoln Center will be continuing the research out in the spring at Riverside Cemetery. A lot of kids that go here are descendants of veterans in the Civil War. That’s why I think it’s good they have this research project here in the spring.” Sarber, a veteran himself, studied black soldiers with Miami County roots enlisted in the 54th and 55th regiments during the Civil War. During the Saturday program, he will be presented with an award for his efforts in shedding light on an area of history that had not been extensively covered. “His research and documentation will preserve (the soldiers’) legacy for future generations,” said local historian Karen Purke, adding that Sarber will be commemorated “for his outstanding effort in recognition of these brave Civil War soldiers.”

• Carnival cancels 12 more cruises on troubled ship HOUSTON (AP) — Carnival Cruise Lines has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged that the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before an engine-room fire left it powerless in the Gulf of Mexico. The company’s announcement on Wednesday came as the Triumph was being towed to a port in Mobile, Ala., with more than 4,000 people on board, some of whom have complained to relatives that conditions on the ship are dismal and that they have limited access to food and bathrooms. The ship will be idle through April. — Staff and wire reports

removed Mr. Mohler from any position on our pastoral team and relieved him of all of his responsibilities at our church,” Leckrone stated. “We are cooperating fully with the authorities as they pursue the facts.” He added the church was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the allegations and made an appeal for “patience, grace and prayer” for all parties involved or others who may be affected by the situation. The allegations involve inappropriate sexual relationship between Mohler and the victim at the suspect’s Monroe Township home on Aug. 1, said sheriff’s

Chief Deputy Dave Duchak. Duchak said the crime was initially reported to Miami County Children’s Services, who then contacted the authorities. While it wasn’t immediately known how much unsupervised access Mohler had to juveniles, a two-minute video posted in July on the church’s Facebook page depicted Mohler playing a popular board game with two young girls in a advertisement of a “game night” at the church. “We don’t have any information that there are other victims,” Duchak said. “Nonetheless, anytime a person is in a

position of trust we like to ask the community to contact us concerning information regarding the case or if someone feels we need to be made aware of something.” Duchak said the sexual battery investigation is ongoing and encouraged anyone with additional information to contact the sheriff’s office at (937) 440-6085 or 440-9911. Alternatively, anonymous tips may be submitted through the sheriff’s office website at www.miamicountysheriff.org and clicking on the “Tips” link on the left rail. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Mohler for Feb. 19.

Boehner: Up to Dems to prevent budget cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday it’s unlikely the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate will prevent a wave of automatic spending cuts from beginning to strike the economy in two weeks. Yet he sounded hopeful about avoiding a partial shutdown of the government when a temporary spending bill expires next month. Cloistered in his Capitol office overlooking the National Mall, Boehner said in an interview with The Associated Press that he was skeptical of many of President Barack Obama’s plans, laid out the night before in the annual State of the Union address. Boehner voiced doubts about Obama’s proposal for taxpayer-funded help for pre-school education for all 4-year-olds, and would not commit to passing a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants, though doing so would be “somewhat helpful” to members of his party as they seek to regain support among Hispanics. “There’s no magic potion that’s going to solve our party’s woes with

Hispanics,” he said. Boehner also refused to swing behind any of Obama’s gun-control proposals and said he opposed the president’s plan to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour. The Ohio Republican said he gets along well with Obama but admits their relationship hasn’t generated much in the way of results, pointing to two failed rounds of budget talks in 2011 and at the end of last year. Boehner is frustrated that spending cuts Obama signaled he would agree to in 2011 have been taken off the table since the election. “It hasn’t been real productive the last two years, and frankly every time I’ve gotten into one of these high-profile negotiations, it’s my rear end that got burnt,” Boehner said. “It’s just probably not the best way for our government to operate.” Obama stumped Wednesday in support of his minimum-wage plan, his calls for a manufacturing revival and his other State of the Union proposals in a trip to Ashville, N.C., where he said: “If you work full time, you shouldn’t be in poverty.” He takes his case to Georgia on Thursday and his hometown of

Chicago on Friday, all part of his effort to build popular support for an agenda facing stiff resistance back in Washington. “It’s not a Democratic thing or a Republican thing,” Obama said of his initiatives. “Our job as Americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead.” The immediate agenda, though, is dominated by $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts called a sequester in Washington-speak set to slam the Pentagon and domestic programs over the coming seven months. Boehner said he has no plans to resurrect legislation passed by Republicans last year to block this year’s sequester. The speaker said that until Obama puts forward a plan to avoid the sequester and Senate Democrats pass it, “we’re going to be stuck with it. It’s going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions.” Boehner noted that while plenty of GOP defense hawks are anxious

about the automatic cuts, Democrats concerned with cuts to domestic programs have a lot on the line, too. And he sounded glum about prospects that the two sides will come together in the spring on a separate, long-term budget blueprint to address the government’s fiscal problems. “It’s hard to imagine that you could reconcile (the separate budgets) the House and Senate pass,” Boehner said. “But at some point, in some manner, it almost has to happen if we’re going to deal with our long-term spending problem.” In March, the House and Senate will take up competing long-term budget blueprints. In a break with past years, House Republicans promise to balance the budget within a decade without additional tax increases beyond the $600 billionplus in tax increases on wealthier earners won by Obama as part of a deal to keep the rest of the Bush-era tax cuts. He said that an impasse with Senate Democrats, who insist their rival budget plan will raise taxes and contain softer budget cuts, is probably inevitable.

Note • CONTINUED FROM 1 Sgt. Stephanie Black said the school grounds were searched by bomb sniffing dogs provided by the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and found no signs of threats of that manner. Both Kronour and Black said the Tipp City Police Department would increase its presence

at the high school on Thursday. “We did have the school cleared by bomb dogs from Wright-Patterson,” Black said. “The (high school) held functions as planned and there are no plans to close as far as my knowledge.” Kronour said he received several phone calls from concerned parents, but assured the com-

munity that his own children would be in school Thursday and Friday. “We are going to take steps to ensure the safety of all the students,” Kronour said. Kronour said school and police officials would be continuing to investigate the incident. “We take things of this nature very seriously,” Kronour said.

Plan • CONTINUED FROM 1 McBride said the information from Columbus is so confusing that he would like to plan to host a public meeting in the future open to any and all residents with questions on the final budget for Newton Local School. “I’d like to have an opportunity to let the public know what’s going on,” McBride said. “It’s the nature of the beast,” said board vice-president Lolita Schultz, noting during her years as a treasurer she didn’t start planning for budgets until May before the final fiscal numbers were approved by June 30. “There are so many

changes,” Schultz said. McBride said he was under the impression funding would not be cut, Kindergarten would be fully funded and open enrollment funding would go unchanged. McBride said once the numbers in each district budget was revealed, ‘those number told a totally different story.” McBride said as the plan is proposed now, Newton Local School would go from flat funding of zero percent to approximately more than $30,000 next year additional to state aid and then $332,000 in 2013-2014. The proposed funding would not allow state funding per pupil

Introducing one Introducing on ne more more way way we’re providing providing g quality care care we’re to our communities communities to

follow the student who would open enroll. Newton Local School nets approximately 50 students from the area which makes up a large portion of the district budget. “None of this makes any sense,” McBride said. “They propose $332,000 with no additional funding for open enrollment and then in two years the guarantee goes away.” McBride said as funding is now in two years the funding would most likely return to flat zero percent increases and the district would lose the $332,000 and $30,000 additional in funds after the “guarantee” period had ended. “I realize this process has

a long way to go,” McBride said noting changes from legislation has just started. “We’ve been down this road before.” Treasurer Nick Hamilton said as the funding formula stands now, it looks as if the larger districts which used to benefit from the large corporate tax tied in with the Personal Tangible Property Tax benefit the most. The PTPT has since phased out as a source of income for school districts which taxed equipment and inventory of corporations. “It seems like the school, who had the larger Personal Tangible Property Tax phased out, are the ones seeing the increases,” Hamilton

said, citing Anna Local School district who once benefited from Honda manufacturing PTPT. “Who knows what’s going to happen,” McBride said. McBride said he is concerned for local surrounding districts with levies on the ballot before the state education funding has been decided and how it will sway votes for or against additional funding. “Then it gets changed back,” McBride said. McBride said he is planning on meeting with local legislators on Friday at the Miami County Educational Service Center to urge legislators to consider changes to the budget.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Loveland (Colo.) Daily Reporter-Herald on why the Boy Scouts need to be inclusive: The Boy Scouts of America exists to develop character, citizenship and personal fitness in its members. In its effort to support this mission, the BSA has set nationwide, exclusive standards for members and leaders. But now it is rethinking one of those restrictions. The organization — which turns 113 this year — is scheduled to consider ending its longstanding policy against the admission of homosexuals to the ranks of its membership and leadership. As it weighs this decision, BSA leadership should keep in mind a couple of questions: Will this policy change compromise its mission? When a Scout promises to do his duty to God and country, to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, to remain physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight, do sexual inclinations hinder that promise?

All they cared about was bullying him into a rigid position on Israel policy. Enforcing that kind of orthodoxy is not in either America’s or Israel’s interest. Hagel, a former Republican senator, has repeatedly declared support for Israel and cited 12 years of pro-Israel votes in the Senate. But that didn’t matter to his opponents, who attacked him as insufficiently pro-Israel and refused to accept any deviation on any vote. Hagel was even forced to defend past expressions of concern for Palestinian victims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The sad truth is that there is more honest discussion about American-Israeli policy in Israel than in this country. Too often in the United States, supporting Israel has come to mean meeting narrow ideological litmus tests. J Street, a liberal pro-Israel group that was formed as a counterpoint to conservative groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, has argued for vibrant debate and said “criticism of Israeli policy does not threaten the health of the state of Israel.” In fact, it is essential.

DOONESBURY

Olympics won’t be the same without wrestling The Olympic torch glows dimmer today. Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee made a stunning decision that has turned the sport of wrestling on its cauliflower ear. The IOC — the same fun group of people that has brought you bribes, kickbacks and ignored human rights violations when awarding bids to Olympic venues — made the decision to eliminate wrestling following the 2016 Olympics. This may be the most ludicrous thing to happen to the Olympic Games since that whole deal with Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. Wrestling is not only one of the original sports in the Olympics — it’s been around since the modern Olympics began in Athens in 1896 — it’s one of the orignal sports in the history of human beings. Humans have been wrestling for sport for thousands of years — and, in all likelihood, have been wrestling to survive for far longer than that. It’s an instinct that’s ingrained in us from birth. Just lie down on the floor next to a toddler for any length of time and see what they try to do if you don’t believe me. Eliminating wrestling from

David Fong Troy Daily News Columnist the Olympics is spitting in the face of tradition. As much as that, though, removing wrestling from the Olympics is a double-leg takedown to the entire sport. Young football players grow up dreaming of playing in the Super Bowl. Young baseball players grow up dreaming of playing in the World Series. Young wrestlers grow up dreaming of competing in the Olympics. One can’t help but fear removing wrestling from the Olympics will have a ripple effect that will be far-reaching and irreparably damage the sport both at home and abroad. Wrestling in the United States already has one shoulder on the mat as a result of many colleges and universities electing to drop funding for men’s sports such as wrestling — rather than

— Carolyn Taylor Troy

add funding for women’s sports — in order to comply with Title IX legislation. At the local high school level, many programs in the area already struggle to fill every weight class on the roster, forcing them to forfeit matches. Every four years, the Olympics provide a spike in popularity to sports such as gymnastics, swimming and wrestling. In Olympic years, gyms and swimming pools are filled with kids hoping to be the next Dan Gable, Gabby Douglas or Michael Phelps. Those sports — which remain largely out of the public eye except in Olympic years — need that spike to keep their numbers strong. That is not the case for many of the sports the Olympics voted to keep in favor of wrestling. Boxers don’t need the Olympics to cement their legacy — there are professional world championships to win. (And I won’t even bring up the fact an argument could be made for eliminating boxing from the Olympics based on the seemingly endless amount of corrupt judges alone). Same goes for soccer. It already has the World Cup — it doesn’t need the Olympics. Let’s face it, his gold medal win with the “Dream Team” was

pretty spectacular, but is your enduring image of Michael Jordan going to be him putting up a shot over an awestruck Angolan in the 1992 Olympics, or him soaring through the air for a slam dunk in a Chicago Bulls uniform? And the sport the IOC has chosen to add while eliminating wrestling, golf, most certainly doesn’t need the Olympics. Sure, there’s no doubt whomever wins the Olympic gold medal in golf will be happy to do so — but do you really think there’s a golfer alive who wouldn’t trade a neck full of gold medals for one Masters green jacket and the millions that come along with it? It’s just like tennis. Roger Federer will ultimately be judged on how many Grand Slam titles he won — not how many Olympic medals. Ultimately, however, money talks and the IOC listens (it always does). Wrestling doesn’t bring in the same revenue — or television ratings — as other sports. That — more than anything else — was its greatest sin. It certainly wasn’t a sin worth dying for. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News.

Trailer fire causes Walmart evacuation TROY

A trailer caught fire outside the Troy Walmart late Tuesday, causing the store at 1801 W. Main St. to be evacuated as smoke entered through a back door. At about 11:45 p.m., the trailer belonging to contractor At Your Service, Inc. caught fire when the heater unit used for cleaning refrigeration coils malfunctioned, said Troy assistant fire chief Matt Simmons.

The fire was limited to the trailer, though the store was evacuated as a precaution. No one was injured. Damages were estimated at $15,000 for the trailer and $15,000 for the contents inside, which included commercial cleaning equipment and different types of fuel.

Men charged in porn cases appear in court Staff report

TROY

Two men who possessed pornographic images and videos of juveniles via Internet file-sharing websites before arousing the eye of law enforcement went before a judge Monday to answer to felony charges that not only carry prison sentences, but also sex offender registration. Lee D. Hodge, 24, of Laura, entered not guilty pleas at his court arraignment on 12 charges of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor, which are all felonies that carry a potential prison sentence and fine for each count. Hodge, who appeared on a court summons, was given a recognizance bond and a pretrial conference was scheduled for Feb. 19. A Miami County grand jury indicted Hodge on the sexual felonies following an Oct. 31 search warrant conducted at his residence that stemmed from “large volumes of child pornography” that was being downloaded from a computer IP address traced back to Hodge, according to the search warrant. Sheriff’s reports indicate Hodge pos-

sessed “thousands of child pornography files” on his personal computer equipment and other media storage devices that were confiscated and forensically examined by authorities. In the same courtroom, a Tipp City man charged with the same two crimes entered a guilty plea to two counts for his possession of similar child pornography on computers and media storage devices recovered from his home Nov. 29 after police spotted similar suspicious downloading habits traced back to the man. Scott A. Hawk, 51, entered the pleas of guilty to both charges and he will be sentenced April 15, at which time he also will undergo a sex offender registration hearing. Computers and storage devices Hawk used in the commission of the crimes are subject to court forfeiture, which is what authorities are seeking in the case. Hawk was released on his own recognizance after the court hearing.

Michael A. Boyd, 52, was convicted of failure to comply with a police officer and

In addition, he will have his license suspended for one year following his release from prison. Miami County sheriff’s deputies and Troy police gave chase to Boyd on Nov. 22 after the man refused to pull over after he nearly struck a police cruiser from behind and was clocked traveling 80 mph, police reports state.

Boyd led authorities on a pursuit that began near Arthur Street in Troy, continued to State Route 718, Wilson and Peebles roads, and ended on South Dorset at about 2:30 a.m. He was also charged with several traffic citations as a result of the pursuit, including operating a vehicle while intoxicated, marked lanes and driving under suspension. The marked lanes and driving under suspension counts were later dismissed in municipal court.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Luther McIlwain METHUEN, Mass. (AP) — Luther McIlwain, a navigator with the famed Tuskegee Airmen who broke military racial barriers during World War II, a retired New York City police officer, and a civil rights advocate in Massachusetts, has died. He was 91. The Charles Dewhirst funeral home in Methuen says McIlwain died Friday. He was born in Blaine, S.C., and moved with his family to Massachusetts at age 2. He graduated from a Methuen high school in 1939 and attended Allen University in Columbia, S.C., before enlisting in the Army Air Corps in 1943. He was a 2nd lieutenant with the black 477th Bombardment Group and was honorably discharged in 1947. He was a police officer from 1946 until retirement in 1968, when he returned to Methuen. He is survived by his wife. • Jim Garvey HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — Former Hofstra athletic director and official in football, basketball and

lacrosse Jim Garvey has died. He was 70. Garvey passed away Feb. 5 in Kentucky while awaiting a heart transplant, Hofstra said Tuesday. He was the director of athletics at Hofstra from 1987 until his retirement in 1997. He hired football coach Joe Gardi in 1990 and men’s basketball coach Jay Wright in 1994. During his tenure, the football team made one NCAA appearance, the men’s lacrosse team made three NCAA, and the softball team two. As an official he worked four bowl games, three NCAA basketball tournaments and six NCAA lacrosse championship games. He was a 1993 inductee into the Long Island Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

• Rick Huxley LONDON — Bass player Rick Huxley, one of the founding members of the Dave Clark Five, has died. He was 72. Clark announced Huxley’s death Tuesday, saying the news was “devastating.”

Huxley played on the band’s signature hits from the era when they briefly rivaled the Beatles in popularity. They were part of the British invasion that included the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and other bands. Their best-known songs included “Bits and Pieces” and “Glad All Over.” They enjoyed a large following in the United States after appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, the Sunday night television show that also introduced the Beatles to American audiences. The band, with a middle-of-the-road pop rock sound, was known for drummer Clark’s driving beat and exuberant vocals. But it faded after several years when harder-edged bands such as Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Doors rose to popularity. The Dave Clark Five broke up in 1970 after 12 years together. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. Huxley, who suffered from emphysema, died Monday.

Tuesday Joe also took a buggy ride over to visit with brother-in-law Jacob. Jacob’s arthritis was fired up keeping him home from work for a few days. Joe asked me to go along for the ride, but I had dough rising for bread cinnamon rolls that needed taken care of. It would have been nice to have gotten out of the house for awhile. It would be nice to have a heater hooked up in our buggy, which would make for warmer trips to town and back. Although we are already a lot warmer in our covered buggies than the open ones we used to drive when we lived in Indiana. I received a letter from cousin Lydia asking for family information. She is putting together a family record book of my mother’s family. I am excited to see it when it is finished. We were 88 grandchildren, so it is hard to keep track of where everyone lives and how many children they have. There will be a lot of sad changes since the last book like this was made in 2004. We’ve had quite a few deaths since the last book was made. But we’ve also had some happy additions. Our youngest child, Kevin, wasn’t born yet when that book was made.

Of all of the awards shows I love to watch (and I love to watch them all), the Oscars is my favorite. And it’s a great excuse to throw a party. Many of my friends do the “red carpet” thing for their own parties and ask guests to dress in their black tie best. But I prefer watching in comfy clothes and snacking on simple but satisfying nibbles. After all, it’s a very long show! This year, I am going to make popcorn the old-fashioned way on the stovetop and flavor the hot kernels three different ways. Everyone loves popcorn and there is no other food that is so closely associated with movies. Even though I sometimes make microwave popcorn just like the rest of the world, when I make it from scratch, I can’t believe the difference in taste. Microwave popcorn is a mere shadow of the original. There are basically two ways to top popcorn wet and dry. Let’s start with wet toppings, such as melted butter. Melted butter is always a crowd pleaser, but you have to make that version just before serving or else it gets soggy. Plus, buttered popcorn is always best hot. Other wet toppings, such as melted chocolate, should be applied to popcorn spread flat on a baking sheet, then allowed to cool. Otherwise it becomes soggy. The advantage of dry flavor toppings is that you can make the popcorn a few hours in advance, then serve it room at temperature. Just make sure to add the spices while the popcorn is hot. My three favorites are truffle salt, Parmesan cheese and a sweet and spicy barbecue rub.

popping starts to subside. When the kernels stop popping in unison and you only hear one pop every couple of seconds, it is done. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Season generously with the toppings listed below, or another one of your favorites. Toss the popcorn in the bowl and sprinkle with additional seasoning several times to make sure you have an even coating. Serve immediately or let cool. DRY POPCORN TOPPINGS Truffle salt 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese Barbecue rub (use purchased or the recipe below) SWEET AND SPICY BARBECUE RUB Start to finish: 5 minutes Makes about 1 cup 1/4 cup paprika 2 tablespoons superfine sugar 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons dried chipotle chili powder 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon cayenne 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon garlic powder In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. WET POPCORN TOPPINGS Be certain to spread the popcorn flat on a baking sheet before adding wet toppings, then let it set before serving. Melted chocolate Melted chocolate and peanut butter Melted caramels and a pinch of salt DRY POPCORN TOPPINGS Maple sugar and crispy bits of smoked bacon Mini marshmallows, chocolate chips and chopped salted peanuts Mini M&Ms, chopped roasted almonds and dried coconut Ragin’ Cajun Spice mixture Lemon-pepper salt Italian spice blend and finely grated Parmesan cheese

To cook the popcorn for use with a dry topping, I use a heavy enameled cast-iron Dutch oven set over medium heat. I heat the empty pot for about 2 minutes over low heat, then pour in the olive oil and the popcorn, increase the heat to medium and immediately place the lid on the pot. The heavy pot helps prevent the popcorn from burning and almost all of the kernels pop. I find that a good olive oil gives the popcorn a great flavor and that you won’t even want to add melted butter. As soon as the popcorn is popped, I pour it out of the pan into the biggest bowl I have. I toss the popcorn with the seasoning and continue to toss so that the steam doesn’t make the popcorn soggy. When the steam dissipates, I toss it a few more times, taste to make sure that I have enough flavoring, then let it come to room temperature in the bowl. At this point you can place it in serving bowls or baskets or even individual paper bags to give your guests. And don’t forget to pair your gourmet popcorn with a flute of sparkling wine. The make the perfect high-low party combination! STOVETOP POPCORN MANY WAYS Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 1/2 cup corn kernels will produce about 12 cups popcorn 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil (depending on the size of the pot) 1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (depending on the size of the pot) Fine-grain sea salt or other seasoned toppings Heat an empty cast-iron Dutch oven over low heat for 2 minutes. Add enough olive oil to the pot to thinly coat the entire bottom. Add a single layer of popcorn kernels. You want them to be touching but not more than one layer thick. Increase the heat to medium and place the lid on the pot. Wait until popping begins, then turn the heat down slightly. Shake the pot every 30 seconds or so. Start shaking a bit more when the

My husband Joe has been home the last three days, not having any work. Makes it a little harder on payday, but we shouldn’t complain. God always provides a way if we keep our trust in him. Meanwhile, Joe has been kept busy here at home. Yesterday, our two oldest girls, Elizabeth and Susan, were working and the six youngest were in school. Joe helped me do the laundry and then we made noodles the rest of the day. It is a good feeling to see a table full of noodles drying. My noodlemaker gave up on us.It was a wedding gift from my brother Albert and his wife Sarah Irene. I guess it would be almost 20 years old already. It is hard to believe we will have our 20th anniversary in July. While we were making noodles, we had company stop by. It was Joe’s cousin Leander, his wife Rosina and son — and also two girls from their community in Rochester, Ind. It was a nice surprise and we were glad they stopped in even if their visit was short. Joe and Leander grew up together and have a lot of fun memories to recall. Joe is always glad for a chance to visit with Leander. There is a new family moving into our community and they were assisting them in unloading their belongings. Daughter Susan is baking monster cookies. We will take 100 of them to the family gathering on Saturday. Joe’s sister Salome and Morris are hosting a late family Christmas. We will all get together for a 10:30 a.m. carry-in brunch. This will be a twohour journey for us. Our plans are to start out around 6:30 a.m. Joe has 8 sisters and 3 brothers and we hope they will all be able to attend. We hope for good weather and safe roads. We had still been having some snow days and cold weather this week. A happy birthday goes to Susan’s friend Mose, whose birthday was on Feb. 5. Susan prepared a birthday supper for Mose and his family here at home to take along in honor of his birthday. Since Joe was home from work, he offered to grill the chicken for her. Susan was really glad she did not have to grill the meat in the cold

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of our veterans Dear Readers: Happy Valentine's Day to one and all, along with our special good wishes to the veterans in VA hospitals around the country. And our particular thanks to those readers who have taken the time to send valentines, visit the vets and volunteer at VA facilities. Bless each and every one of you. Dear Annie: My older sister and I are both in our late 40s. After years of putting up with "Mary's" nasty, critical comments and her tantrums when she doesn't get her way, I am ready to cut all ties. The only problem is, Mary still has possession of a number of family photographs and jewelry that once belonged to our mother. After our father passed away, we put all of the family stuff in storage. About a year later, Mary bought a condo in another city, packed everything up and took it with her. She never asked whether I wanted any of it or whether I minded that she took the contents of the storage locker. I had to fly to her city, rent a car and a trailer, and then go through everything, dividing up most of the estate. Because I was living in a small apartment, we agreed that Mary would take care of the family albums until I got my own place. Fifteen years later, she still has them and ignores all requests to make copies. She has found new "reasons" why we cannot divide the more valuable pieces of jewelry. I have neither the time nor the money to visit her again, and I'm fed up with her delays and excuses. I can't afford to take her to court, but how can I get her to share without resorting to legal measures? Those pictures mean a lot to me. — Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Of course Mary should share these things with you, but she apparently has no intention of cooperating voluntarily. You will either have to find a way to visit her and go through the photographs and jewelry, or take her to court. Visiting is probably cheaper, so start saving your money. Dear Annie: My husband and I find ourselves in an awkward situation. We recently moved to a retirement community. We enjoy entertaining and are seeking to make new friends. However, we find that when we go to other couples' homes, the temperature is extremely uncomfortable. We live in Florida, and even in the winter, it is at least 75 degrees and often humid. We keep the air conditioning on year-round. If the temperature drops, we turn it off and open the windows to allow fresh air in. Most of the homes we visit are all closed up with no air on and no windows open. It is so uncomfortable and humid, I can barely make it through the evening. When guests come to our home, we always make sure the room is temperate, and we ask whether our guests are comfortable. At my last visit, I sat fanning myself all night, and when I casually mentioned that I was hot, the hostess made no effort to open a window. We don't want to lose any friendships, but what happened to the days when you tried to make your guests comfortable for a few hours? — Sticky Situation in Florida Dear Sticky: Since you are new members of this community, it's quite possible that your friends' internal body temperatures have adjusted to the heat and humidity, but yours has not. They may find your home too cold, but are reluctant to say so. A secondary possibility is the cost of running the air conditioning. We suggest wearing lightweight clothing, and whenever possible, arrange meetings elsewhere. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Hint will help you avoid seeing red ... in your white carpet Dear Heloise: Help! I just spilled red nail polish on my white carpet. What do I do? — A Reader, via email Oops! This is not good, and at this point it is going to be difficult. Whether spilled nail polish, soda or a sports drink, red is one of the hardest colors to remove. Before you try, be sure you test it in an out-of-the-way area (such as a closet or corner of the room) so you don’t cause damage to the carpet. Pour nonacetone nail-polish remover onto a cloth (NOT on the carpet) and blot the stain, continuously moving to clean

Hints from Heloise Columnist parts of the cloth. Blot from the outside of the stain inward. Next, make a cleaning solution by mixing 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap and 1 cup of water. Apply using a clean cloth. Rinse the stain with water and blot dry. Repeat these

steps as necessary to remove the stain, but it may be a lost cause. — Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: I laughed when I read your Jan. 1 column about nonsmoking rooms. Once upon a time, an ice storm in Little Rock, Ark., disconnected our electricity. After three days, we were desperate for a bath! My husband and I went to one of the better facilities near the airport. We asked for a nonsmoking room. The room had a strong tobacco odor, a brown haze and a sign that stated “Smoking.” We called the front desk, and the clerk said, “Turn

the sign over.” The sign said “No Smoking.” That didn’t help much, but the bath was great! — G.N.H., Little Rock, Ark. Well, that’s funny and not! — Heloise REMOVING LABELS Dear Heloise: When I get a cardboard shipping box that I want to reuse, I remove the shipping labels. Usually, just trying to peel the label will damage the box. I take the hair dryer, put it on high and heat the label. After a few seconds, the adhesive becomes soft, and the label peels off. — D.N., via email

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Feb. 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You are quietly driven to achieve something today. You might be working on something secretly that no one else knows about. (It could be a secret love affair.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Give your best effort when working with others today, because as a group, you can accomplish a lot. Furthermore, others will make note of your contribution. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have strong ambitions now, and this is a good thing. Go for the brass ring! Give it everything you’ve got, because now is the time to act. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You can make great strides exploring opportunities in publishing, the media or medicine. This also is the time to move mountains in order to make travel plans. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will strongly defend your investment in something, especially your interest in shared property or anything you own jointly with others. You don’t intend to back off. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Encounters with others, especially partners and close friends, will be especially powerful today. Your best bet is to use this energy to work together. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Now is the time to introduce improvements and reforms at work. People very likely will be receptive to what you suggest, especially because you’re so forceful and gung-ho! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’re passionate and flirtatious today. However, this same gusto and energy will serve you well if you participate in sports, because you intend to win. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Because you’re full of physical energy today, you can tackle home improvements or help a family member. Nothing will be too much trouble for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You’re extremely convincing today, which is why you could sell snow to the Eskimos. This is a great day for those of you who sell, market, teach, act or drive for a living. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel driven to make money today. This could be related to your job or making money on the side. You’re determined to do what you think you need to do. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might realize some important goals today, and by doing so, you will have to make some changes. You have lots of energy to deal with whatever arises. YOU BORN TODAY You are a creative thinker and not daunted by obstacles that halt others. (Primarily, this is because you have a positive outlook on life.) Many of you develop technical skills, which you use in your work. You enjoy pristine nature and love to investigate your surroundings. A major change might occur in your year ahead, perhaps something as significant as whatever occurred around 2004.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 14, 1963, Federico Fellini’s art-house classic “8,” a movie about a movie director played by Marcello Mastroianni, was first released in Italy. On this date: • In 1778, the American ship Ranger carried the recently adopted Stars and Stripes to a foreign port for the first time as it arrived in France. • In 1913, labor leader Jimmy Hoffa was born in Brazil, Ind.; college football coach Woody Hayes was born

in Clifton, Ohio; sports broadcaster Mel Allen was born in Birmingham, Ala. • In 1920, the League of Women Voters was founded in Chicago; its first president was Maud Wood Park. • In 1929, the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” took place in a Chicago garage as seven rivals of Al Capone’s gang were gunned down. • In 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie, author of “The Satanic Verses,” a novel condemned as blasphemous. • Five years ago: A former student dressed in black walked onto the

stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University and opened fire on a packed science class; Steven Kazmierczak killed five students before committing suicide. • Today’s Birthdays: TV personality Hugh Downs is 92.

Hackers use alert system for zombie warnings Officials say prank could cause mayhem

also asked stations to check their equipment to make sure no further unauthorized alerts were queued up for future transmission, according to a copy of the advisory provided by the Montana Broadcasters Association. No one has been arrested in connection with the hacking incidents. Other attempts to access to emergency systems in recent days were thwarted by updated passwords, said Edward Czarnecki with New Yorkbased Monroe Electronics,

which manufacturers the alert equipment used by most television and cable companies. Where the hackers succeeded, Czarnecki said a failure by stations to provide adequate computer security was at fault.

The system was created so the president could address the public in a

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said its public alert and warning system wasn’t breached and the hacking incidents did not affect its ability to activate the system nationally. FEMA also said it’s supporting the FCC and other federal agencies on the investigation. White, who oversees the alert system in Michigan, says she’s confident that systems there are now secure, though any breach is a concern. “We feel fortunate they were not able to get into the entire Emergency Alert System that’s the good news,” she said. “The bad news is they got in at all.”

The Federal Communications Commission sent an urgent advisory Tuesday urging stations to reset their alert system passwords, disconnect Internet connections or take other steps to make sure the equipment is protected from outside attack. In Michigan, hackers broke into the system with audio or text messages at two stations on Monday. Michigan Association of Broadcasters President Karole White said the breach appeared to be related to default passwords that the stations hadn’t changed. In Los Angeles, a radio station that had its alert system breached sent out a zombie message, according to Richard Rudman, a broadcast engineer and vice chair of the California State Emergency Communications Committee. He declined to name the station but said any that were hacked were using default passwords for their alert systems or lacked adequate computer security. The FCC on Tuesday

DETROIT (AP) — Warnings about the zombie apocalypse may seem pretty amusing, but officials say they’re dead serious about figuring out who hacked into the nation’s public warning system to broadcast such messages in a handful of states. So far, people in California, Michigan, Montana and New Mexico have heard the warnings about attacking zombies that have been sent over the Emergency Alert System. “Local authorities in your area have reported the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living,” one message warned. “Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous.” The subject matter may be humorous, but Greg MacDonald with the Montana Broadcasters Association said the consequences of such attacks on the alert system could be severe. “This looks like somebody being a prankster, but maybe it’s somebody testing just to see if they could do this, to do some real damage,” MacDonald said. “Suddenly you create a panic and people are fleeing somewhere and you end up with traffic

national emergency, but it’s mainly used by state and local authorities to deliver weather warnings and Amber Alerts. The first national test of the revamped system was in November 2011. WNMU in the northern Michigan city of Marquette was broadcasting an episode of “Barney and Friends” just before 4 p.m. Monday when an ominous voice warned of zombies on the loose. The station quickly caught the errant message and disabled the system. “There were really no complaints,” said station general manager Eric Smith. “A couple of viewers … called, wondering what it was all about.” Michigan FBI spokesman Simon Shaykhet said his office has been notified but declined further comment.

Cueto recovered, ready to go GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Johnny Cueto’s postseason ended after only eight pitches, a most disappointing way to finish an otherwise stellar year. After taking time off, he has recovered from the injury that cost the Cincinnati Reds their ace and played a major role in their firstround elimination. And he’s very eager to pitch in a meaningful game as soon as possible, though his manager would like him to wait. The 19-game winner said on Wednesday that he’s had no lingering problems from the pulled muscles in his right side that knocked him out of the playoff opener in San Francisco. “I feel good,” Cueto CUETO said. “I feel 100 percent.” He adjusted his offseason program to let the injury heal, taking time off instead of throwing. He’d like to pitch for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic, but wasn’t on its preliminary roster. He hopes to be added to the final roster. “I haven’t heard anything,” Cueto said. “I would like to pitch. I was disappointed that I couldn’t pitch more in the playoffs.” It’ll be fine with manager Dusty Baker if Cueto is limited to getting into shape during spring training games rather

Late 3 beats Cavaliers CLEVELAND (AP) Kawhi Leonard made a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds remaining to give the San Antonio Spurs a 96-95 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Leonard’s clutch basket came after Dion Waiters’ jump shot with 9.5 seconds remaining put Cleveland ahead 95-93. The Spurs, who have won 14 of 15, had stars Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili on the floor together for the first time since Jan. 13. Kyrie Irving, who was held to a season-low six points, missed a desperation runner from the top of the key as time expired. Tony Parker led the Spurs with 24 points while Gary Neal scored 15. Waiters scored 20 points to lead Cleveland, which has dropped three straight after winning a season-high three in a row. Irving, who rolled his left ankle Monday against Minnesota, was 2 of 15 from the field with seven assists. Tyler Zeller, who was scoreless in 25 minutes Monday, had 16 points, including 12 in the first half, for Cleveland.

Darrow advances, Troy girls 9th

NASCAR buzzing about Gen-6 car There’s a buzz about NASCAR and the season-opening Daytona 500 that has nothing to do with an exploding jet dryer or a welltimed tweet from a driver. The new Gen-6 race car makes its longawaited debut at Daytona International Speedway, and the success of the 2013 season could depend heavily on its performance. Already, things look good. After all, NASCAR’s most popular driver has given the Gen-6 a ringing endorsement. See Page 11.

DAYTON

The Troy girls team bowled well but came up short of advancing to district at the sectional bowling tournament held on Wednesday at Woodman Lanes. Troy hung around the cut line — the top six in the 22-team field advanced — for most of the day, but the Trojans couldn’t get over the hump and ended the tournament in ninth place.

The news wasn’t all bad for the Trojans. Freshman Rachel Darrow shot games of 257-201188 for a 646 series. With the top six individuals on non-advancing teams also advancing, Darrow placed third and will move on next Saturday’s district tournament to compete individually. Sophomore Allie Isner shot games of 196-205-178 for a solid

579 series. Unfortunately Isner missed advancing by one spot, finishing seventh individually. Natalia Sainz added a 197 game and 480 series and Rachel Wagner topped out with a 131 game and 376 series. Senior Rahney Schmitz bowled well in her final outing for the Trojans, rolling a 163 game en route to a 420 series. Troy maintained the sixth position after the first two team

games, but slipped to eighth place – still very much in the hunt – heading into baker play. Troy averaged 162 for the six baker games, but was unable to come up with a big game or two to launch themselves over the cut line.

Cueto ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 than testing himself in the WBC, which makes him worried about injury. “Well, I’m not especially OK with that, but I can understand the pressures that come from being from Latin America,” Baker said. “There’s more national pride than anybody I’ve seen, almost. Guys from the Dominican are proud to be from there. You see

how big the Caribbean Series is for bragging rights in Latin America. They could be where the best overall baseball is played. “I know the pressures that come from being there when I played winter ball.” Cueto pitched 4 2-3 scoreless innings for the Dominican Republic during a 9-0 win over Panama in the 2009 World Baseball

Classic. He came down with inflammation in his shoulder the following August. Former Reds starter Edinson Volquez also pitched the WBC and later suffered a torn elbow ligament. Those injuries made Baker wary. “All I know is the last time they played it, Cueto and Volquez both came up hurting,” Baker said. “We

have spring training for a reason. Even when you start the season, the starting pitchers can only go seven innings max. These guys are going to try to do more (with the WBC). “Imagine a 0-0 game or 1-0 against Venezuela. You’ve got to take them out. They are not going to come out and I don’t blame them.” Cueto was the Reds’ top

starter during their run to a second NL Central title in three years. He went 199 with a 2.78 earned run average and earned two complete games in 33 starts last season. He struck out a team-high 170 batters. The Reds made it through the season with none of their starters missing a game because of injury. That changed when

Cueto pulled muscles in his right side on his eighth pitch in the opening playoff game at San Francisco. The Reds won the first two there, and had three chances to close it out in Cincinnati. With Cueto still ailing, the Reds replaced him on the roster with Mike Leake. The Reds dropped all three games in Cincinnati and the series.

Brad Keselowski drives on pit road during NASCAR testing Jan. 11 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. exhibition race, where fans can vote on various elements of the race format. It has created interest in Speedweeks, which last year were remembered most for Juan Pablo crashing into a jet dryer loaded with fuel and Brad Keselowski tweeting about it during the lengthy delay to put out the fire and repair the charred track. The fireball put the Daytona 500 in the mainstream spotlight, but the racing that followed failed to entertain a wider audience. Keselowski was thrust onto the national stage with his well-timed tweets and he rode the wave all the way to his first Sprint Cup title. The win over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson was a breakthrough for Keselowski, who grabbed team owner Roger Penske his first title and proved the odd pairing of driver and owner had blossomed into an elite tandem. Now everyone gets to see what Keselowski will do for an encore. NASCAR has forbidden him from using his phone in his car, and he’ll be hard pressed to outdo his beer-chugging live television interview minutes after clinching the championship. Even harder will be defending his title as the Penske Racing organization left Dodge at the end of the year and goes into this season as a Ford team. Penske is no longer building its own engines, and will now get

them from Roush Yates as a customer of Ford’s flagship team. “The move has gone very well so far,” said Penske President Tim Cindric. “It’s been a lot of work, but the relationship with Roush, I believe they’d say the same thing, is working well on both sides and we’ve got a lot of reason to believe we’ll have a very good year.” Keselowski will have a new teammate in Joey Logano, who was replaced at Joe Gibbs Racing by Matt Kenseth in the biggest driver move of the year. Kenseth left Roush Fenway Racing, where he’d spent his entire career, to join Gibbs and its volatile driver lineup of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin. Hamlin was a title contender through the halfway point of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup title, but he stumbled at Martinsville with a mechanical failure and never recovered. Busch missed the Chase and declared 2012 “the absolute worst year of my career” after winning just one race across NASCAR’s three national series. Kenseth was replaced at Roush by two-time Nationwide champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. If Stenhouse wasn’t under enough pressure as the replacement for the 2003 Cup champion, he’ll be under tremendous scrutiny this season as the other half of NASCAR’s current “it” couple. Danica Patrick, who is moving to a full Cup

schedule this year, told The Associated Press last month that she’s dating Stenhouse after she and her husband got a divorce. The two will be racing each other for rookie of the year, but insist their relationship won’t affect how they race each other on the track. “Obviously, we’ve been racing together for a couple years now, him and I have always gotten along, we’ve always had a lot of respect for each other on the track, there’s never been an issue out there,” she said. “I always say I’ll race people how they race me until they do something to make me change my mind. I don’t anticipate that changing at all, or us having any issues on the track.” The Roush organization will also receive attention as fans watch and to see if Carl Edwards can rebound from last year’s slump. After losing the championship to Tony Stewart on a tiebreaker, Edwards went through a winless 2012 season and failed to make the Chase. And, four-time champion Jeff Gordon will be starting fresh after his controversial close to 2012. He intentionally wrecked Clint Bowyer in Phoenix, triggering a garage-area melee between their crews. While many thought Gordon should have been suspended, he was fined $100,000 and raced in the season finale, which he won.

Main St. in Troy. The tournament is limited to the first 100 registered players. Registration begins at 3:15 p.m. the day of the tourament.

NEW YORK (AP) — Super Bowl Monday. Super Bowl Wednesday. Surely that sounds better than Super Bowl PPD. The NFL says it’s ready for next year’s title game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Feb. 2, no matter the weather. Even if it means moving the game from its traditional Sunday spot. Concerns about contingencies arose recently for two reasons: Next year’s Super Bowl will be outdoors at a cold-weather site for the first time and the Northeast is still recovering from a monster snowstorm that hit last weekend; the lights went out in the Louisiana Superdome during the Feb. 3 game, causing a 34minute delay and some anxiety about whether it would resume. Several published reports said the NFL has discussed changing the day of the game if weather complications arise. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy wouldn’t offer specifics, but said Wednesday the league will make whatever changes are necessary. “We have had contingency plans for the previous 47 Super Bowls,” McCarthy said. ‘We expect to play all games, including the Super Bowl, as planned. … We will be pre-

pared if we have to make adjustments.” The date of the Super Bowl has never been changed. But plenty of regular-season games have because of weather. When the Metrodome roof collapsed after a snowstorm in 2010, dates and sites changed for several Minnesota Vikings home games. Changing the date of a Super Bowl could be dicey. If a blizzard hit on a Saturday, the day before the game, it might be possible to move it to the following Tuesday, allowing time to dig out roads and parking lots. If a storm was forecast for Super Bowl night, then perhaps playing Saturday would be an option. Compounding this would be travel, hotel and broadcast concerns. “The main objective of the NFL and the Host Committee is to be prepared for any and everything, with regard to weather,” Al Kelly, president of the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, said in a statement. “We have been planning for all possibilities and are creating various contingency plans to deal with each potential situation.” Kelly also said the current snow cleanup effort is being upgraded to make sure the stadium crew is ready for anything.

Indians bring in Matsuzaka GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — The last time a team brought Daisuke Matsuzaka into camp, it paid more than $100 million to get him. On Wednesday, the Cleveland Indians brought him into camp to compete for the back end of their rotation with a deal that will make him just $1.5 million this season. He can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses. A little different this time around. “I just want him to be Daisuke,” Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. The Japanese righthander and Francona have a history together, of course, while the latter was manager in Boston and Matsuzaka was a starter for the Red Sox. The two officially reunited on Wednesday here, and Francona said Matsuzaka threw 35 pitches. He described his delivery as “crisp” and it reminded him of how he

looked “when he was healthy.” In 2007, Matsuzaka, 32, posted a 15-12 record with a 4.40 ERA as the Red Sox raced to a World Series title. He followed that with an 18-3 mark and a 2.90 ERA the next season. During that time, it appeared as though Boston received a strong return on its investment of $51 million just to secure his rights, and then another $52 million on a six-year deal to get him to the mound. But since 2008, Matsuzaka has never won more than nine games in a season. And he has been limited to just 18 starts the past two years because of elbow issues. Matsuzaka underwent reconstructive elbow surgery in 2011. He returned to the Red Sox last June and went 17 with an 8.28 ERA over 11 starts, closing with an 0-4 record and a 14.36 ERA in his final five outings.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There’s a buzz about NASCAR and the seasonopening Daytona 500 that has nothing to do with an exploding jet dryer or a welltimed tweet from a driver. The new Gen-6 race car makes its long-awaited debut at Daytona International Speedway, and the success of the 2013 season could depend heavily on its performance. Already, things look good. After all, NASCAR’s most popular driver has given the Gen-6 a ringing endorsement. “This sport is going to be revolutionized again with this car,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after one of his first full test sessions in the car. That’s the shot in the arm NASCAR is looking for after a 2012 season that saw the quality of the racing criticized at times. Long green-flag runs and a lack of cautions frustrated fans, and that irritated drivers who openly wondered if fans were more interested in wrecking than they were in racing. Behind the scenes, NASCAR was working hard on a new car that would replace the “Car of Tomorrow” after six years, and hopefully improve the on-track product. It was news to welcome Earnhardt, who won 17 races in the “old” car but only two after the CoT was introduced during the 2007 season. “I struggled with the old car,” he said. “I think the rest of the car is definitely a step back toward the old, original car we used to have. I think that’s going to benefit me in certain areas. The car is really exciting. I’m looking forward to it.” So is NASCAR, which has worked with manufacturers and teams on both the look of the car and how it drives. The result is a car that resembles what the automakers sell in the showroom and a design that allows fans to tell if the car is a Chevrolet, Ford or Toyota. And just in case a fan wasn’t that car savvy, the drivers’ names and the manufacturer logo will all be on the windshield this year as NASCAR attempts to make the car as big a star as the driver. The car’s debut comes Saturday night at Daytona in the Sprint Unlimited

OSU looks to bounce back

■ CONTINUED FROM 10 No. 11 Milton-Union 88-29 in the opening round of the Division III Sectional tournament at Tippecanoe High School. Miami East moves on to face Dunbar (8-14) Tuesday in the second round. “I was very happy with the girls’ focus tonight,” Elifritz said. “I tell the girls that if we prepare for the best every day in practice, the games will take care of themselves. And we prepare the same way for everyone. We play the games for a reason.” Trina Current was dominant inside, racking up a double-double before halftime — 13 points and 11 rebounds — and finishing with 21 points and 13 rebounds, both game highs. Ashley Current came of the bench and was close to a halftime doubledouble, finishing the night with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Mack was 4 for 4 from 3-point range in the first half, helping the Vikings stake out an insurmountable 52-12 lead. Mack finished with 16 points and six rebounds, while Abby Cash added 10 points, four rebounds and four assists. The Vikings outrebounded Milton-Union (320) 56-20, forced 29 turnovers and piled up 21 assists in the game. “It’s not just their size. Preston does a great job with those kids,” MiltonUnion coach Richard Cline said. “You don’t see very many girls teams get a defensive rebound and then make an outlet pass to midcourt. And then the next pass is a diagonal pass to the elbow or deeper. They’re quick because they pass so well. “They’re all very unselfish, they shoot well and they only had 12 turnovers tonight. They have a lot of kids that do a lot of good things.” “We expect a lot of kids to do a lot of different things,” Elifritz said. “Everyone can pass the ball well. Our ball movement was great tonight, and that gets our shooters better looks. And if we crash after that, a second chance for our bigs should be guaranteed. We got a lot of second chances, we got up and down the floor and we got some young kids in and got them tournament experience. That’s what it’s all about right now.” Even when MiltonUnion made quality plays, the Vikings turned them to their advantage. With Miami East up 90, Jordan Pricer dove to the floor for a steal and was able to pass off to a teammate. But the Vikings forced a loose ball situation right after that and made a hustle steal of

COLUMBUS (AP) — Aaron Craft was an allstate quarterback in high school and in many ways thinks more like a Saturday-afternoon star than the point guard for No. 13 Ohio State. Even though he dropped the sport to focus on basketball as a senior and still loves to watch football and talk about it there’s one thing about being on the hardcourt instead of the gridiron that really appeals to him. “Luckily, in basketball we get to play twice in a week,” he said on Wednesday. “You don’t have to wait a whole week like in football.” There’s no question that No. 13 Ohio State is glad to be returning to action. The Buckeyes have heard enough about the losses last week in overtime at No. 3 Michigan and at home on Sunday to topranked Indiana. After taking a day or two to assess their situation, they’re looking forward to their next outing against injury-hampered Northwestern (13-11, 4-7 Big Ten) on Thursday night at Value City Arena. “I’m just excited to get back out there,” Craft said. Hungry for a win, the opponent couldn’t be much better either for the Buckeyes (17-6, 7-4). After all they haven’t lost in Columbus to the Wildcats since Feb. 24, 1977, an 8372 defeat a string of 28 consecutive wins at home. Overall, they’ve won 17 of the last 18 meetings,

regardless of the site. But aside from the opponent, one of the major objectives for coach Thad Matta and his assistants this week has been working on the Buckeyes’ mental health. Asked if this was a time to try to kick start his team or console it, Matta said, “It’s been a little bit of both.” This has been an interesting past few days for the Buckeyes. They hadn’t lost back-to-back games in their last 121 outings until last week. The three-time defending Big Ten champions (and winners of five of the last seven titles), Ohio State found itself tied for fourth place in the conference and two full games back of the lead when they hit the practice court at the Schottenstein Center on Wednesday. In the wake of that disappointing 81-68 loss to Indiana at home, the message from the coaching staff has been a simple one. “Just move forward. Just try not to think about it, put that game in the past. There’s nothing you can do about it,” center Amir Williams said. “We’ve got Northwestern (next). That’s the team we have to come prepared for, be ready to play because Northwestern is a dangerous team with their style of offense. We can’t dwell too much on the past. We know we played bad against Indiana; we have to play much better tomorrow night.”

Miami East’s Angie Mack looks to pass as Milton-Union’s Haley Martens defends Tuesday night at Tippecanoe High School. their own, and Cash hit Leah Dunivan for an easy fast break layup to keep the run going. Milton-Union then blocked a pair of Viking shots — one in the paint and one from 3-point range — but both times, Trina or Ashley Current was on there on the back end to pick up the pieces for an easy score. “Part of that is their basketball savvy,” Cline said. “They continue to play when the ball is bouncing around, and they anticipate where it’s going to be next. My girls aren’t to that point yet, but we’re working on it. “I thought my kids played hard the whole way. They tried to do some things we worked on in practice, like splitting their traps instead of trying to dribble it up the sideline or throw it over top of them. We regressed a few times, sure, but the

girls were trying to do what we’d worked on.” Brooke Falb led the Bulldogs with eight points, three rebounds and two assists, while Pricer added seven points. Macy Whittington, Jessica Albaugh and Emily Oldham each added four points. “What’s pleasing is that, at the end of the game (when the subsitutes were in), the kids on the bench were cheering for their teammates,” Cline said. “They weren’t pouting about the score. They were encouraging the other girls.” Renee DeFord added eight points and five rebounds for Miami East, Hannah Davisson hit a pair of 3s for six points, Madison Linn had five points and three assists and Tori Nuss had four points and four assists. Leaving the Vikings — who reached the regional

championship game before being eliminated last season — to focus on the next step. “One down. That’s our mentality,” Elifritz said.

UK’s Noel done for season LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky received the news it dreaded Wednesday when freshman forward Nerlens Noel was declared out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee. Noel tore his ACL on Tuesday night when No. 25 Kentucky lost at Florida. An MRI revealed the injury, and the 6-foot10 forward will have surgery in the next two or three weeks. The projected recovery period is six to eight months. Noel’s injury deals a serious postseason blow for the defending national champions, who had appeared to be gaining some footing after struggling earlier this season while trying to blend in four freshmen. Leading

the way defensively for the Wildcats was Noel, who began Tuesday first in the nation with 4.5 blocks per game. The rookie took a positive approach to the diagnosis, posting on Twitter, “Minor setback for a MAJOR comeback! I love you all and can’t thank y’all enough for the prayers.” Noel was hurt with 8 minutes left in the Wildcats’ 69-52 loss to the seventh-ranked Gators. He ran into the basket support after blocking a layup from behind. Noel landed awkwardly, dropped to the floor and started screaming while clutching his knee. Noel had eight points, six rebounds and three blocks before the injury.

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.
