ing the core of nuclear warheads, diplomats said Wednesday. Iran already announced last week that it had begun mounting the new enriching centrifuges, but one diplomat said at the time that the announcement was premature with only a “small number”
on site and not yet installed. Diplomats told The Associated Press on Wednesday, however, that installation was now well on its way, with inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency seeing close to 100 or more machines mounted when they toured the site a few days ago. Depending on experts’ estimates, the new-generation centrifuges can enrich uranium three
to five times faster than Iran’s present working model. The Islamic Republic insists it is not working on a nuclear weapons program, but rather is enriching uranium only to make reactor fuel and for scientific and medical purposes as allowed by international law. many nations are But suspicious because Iran went

Staff Report
Construction on the Tipp City Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station is scheduled to begin in April, but between now and then, the city has to figure out where to house the ambulances and emergency crews. While the office and living spaces are demolished and replaced and a new bay is constructed to house the EMS equipment, the city’s emergency personnel will have to find another building to work from. See Page 5.
City officials have been getting estimates for repairing part of the railing on the North Market Street Bridge, following a vehicular accident a couple weeks ago. “The car jumped the curb and hit it, knocking some of the spindles out,” said Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington. “There’s at least one panel that needs to be replaced as far as the railing goes.” STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER The city’s insurance comStudents walk past a closed restroom at Troy High School Wednesday after a threat was made the previous day. pany has been collaborating Several restrooms were closed as a precautionary measure Wednesday at the school. with that of the driver to replace the custommade pieces. “We do have that part of the sidewalk blocked off,” Titterington said. “The railing is damaged enough that someone might be able to fall, so we do have it barricaded.”

‘Trying to look at everything’
Perhaps the only thing harder than trying to find a needle in a haystack is trying to fit a boulder in a teacup.

Fifth threatening note found at Tipp; two arrests made BY JOYELL NEVINS Civitas Media jnevins@civitasmedia.com Two students were arrested Wednesday morning for what were the first and the fifth in a series of threatening notes left at schools in Tipp City. At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, a Tippecanoe Middle School student was arrested for a threatening note written on a table in the cafeteria (the fifth one in the series). By 2 p.m. that same day, a Tippecanoe High School freshman was arrested for the first threatening note, written on toilet paper Feb. 13. Both are being held at West Central Juvenile Facility. Both students are male and, according to the Tipp City Police Department, knew each other. The middle school student, a seventh grader, is 14 years old and the freshman is 15.

According to the Tipp City Police, the penalty for a second-degree felony is two to eight years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. “I am pleased with how today went,” Graham said, “This is a small victory, but in no stretch means the investigation is over.” According to Graham, the freshman was responsible for only the first note, due to his absence from the school Feb. 14 and 15. “The police department remains aggressive in the
Investigation into Tuesday’s THS note continues BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com
On Wednesday, Troy City Police School Resource Officer Brandon Fellers worked from a large conference room sorting out samples of students’ TROY hand writing as part of an investigation stemming from a threat found at Troy High School Tuesday. On Tuesday, a student notified a teacher about a threat written on the wall of the boys’ restroom on the second floor. The message was written on the bathroom wall and read: “Every one in school will die 2/22/13.” “We are trying to look at everything we can,” Fellers said Wednesday. “We are hoping this ends as soon as possible.”

A Troy Junior High School eighth grade student spent the night at West Central Juvenile Detention Center after Troy City Police School Resource Officers found the boy who was responsible for a threat found at the end of the school day Wednesday at Troy Junior High School. The 13 year-old boy will appear in Miami County Juvenile Court at 11:30 a.m. today on charges of
TROY inducing panic. He could face additional charges as well, according to authorities. It was the seventh threat in seven consecutive school days at a local school. The threat was found at the Troy Junior High at the end of the school day Wednesday, according to Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman. The threat read: “Everyone going to die on 2/27/13.” According to Troy City Police Department School Resource Officer Chris Madigan, teachers had been on heightened alert due
to a threat found at Troy High School on Tuesday. Madigan said handwriting samples, as well as teachers keeping track of students whereabouts, helped identify the boy quickly. “They were keeping track of who was in and out of the classroom all day,” Madigan said. “We had kept the hallways pretty clear throughout the whole day and knew who was where and when.” Madigan said a search of bathrooms and other areas were made after lunch and again at the end of the day when the threat was found written on the partition in a boys’

Insurgents killed by NATO and Afghan forces KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — NATO and Afghan forces have killed at least 25 insurgents and three of their commanders in separate operations around the country, Afghan and coalition officials said Wednesday. An Afghan security operation on Tuesday in Mehterlam, the capital city of eastern Laghman province, killed 15 insurgents, the Interior Ministry said. The ministry said the insurgent’s commander, identified as Qari Almas, was also killed in the raid. Meanwhile, joint operations by Afghan troops and the U.S.-led International Assistance Force killed 10 insurgents on Tuesday in southern and eastern Afghanistan, NATO said. The coalition said five insurgents were killed in the lawless Andar district of eastern Ghazni province, three died in an operation in eastern Logar province, and two were killed in southern Helmand province. Both the Andar and Helmand killings were carried out by what NATO called “precision strikes,”

Charge • CONTINUED FROM 1 bathroom yesterday. It was the first threat found at Troy Junior High School after a rash of threats found in the Tipp City Schools and one found Tuesday at Troy High School. “We’ve already locked down as best we can,” Herman said. “This means
we will change up supervision in the bathrooms.” Herman said he sent a mass One Call Now message to parents in the district to warn them about the latest threat. Herman said the Troy City Schools administration will talk to the boy after his court hearing today and determine school discipline at a later date.

Fellers said city police officials have been on hand in and out of the high school and patrolling areas near the city schools. “We are taking extra security measures throughout the week,” Fellers said. City Schools Troy Superintendent Eric Herman said he received a few phone calls from parents and stressed the threat was made at the high school and not at any other school. “We are taking things very seriously and are working with city police officials and checking all the leads,” Herman said. Troy High School
Principal William Overla said attendance at the high school was “pretty consistent” and were average for a typical school day. Bathrooms around the school were closed and other security measures were made, but no other alterations were made during the school day. A teacher informed Fellers of the threat written on a wall in the boys’ bathroom at approximately 12:40 p.m. Tuesday. The threat follows five similar threats found, three at Tippecanoe High School and two at Tippecanoe Middle School, which began last week. For more information, visit www.troy.k12.oh.us.

“The state government foresees that the release of these detainees closes a chapter, and sets things on the road to institutionalizing and regulating community police forces,” the state government said in a statement. The vigilantes’ leader did not return calls seeking comment Wednesday. State officials hope the vigilantes can be persuaded to join already-established “community police” forces that operate in some Guerrero towns, where residents with some training and minimal uniforms perform routine patrols and turn over suspects to town assemblies. Following local custom, those assemblies try the suspects and can impose some sentences.

from theft to extortion and murder, marking what authorities hope will be an end to the growth of unregulated community “selfdefense” groups. However, activists said Wednesday that vigilante groups mayhang on or grow, if authorities don’t guarantee public safety in the wave of drug cartel violence and common crime. The government of the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said the vigilantes based in the town of Ayutla turned 20 of the final detainees over to police. It said the other 22 had been suspected of lesser offenses and were released Tuesday because the vigilantes considered they had been sufficiently punished.

threats did not appear to be valid. “I don’t want to say a prank or hoax, but it is not something that was likely going to be carried out,” he said. Since the notes began Feb. 13, there have been three at the high school and two at the middle school. Troy City Schools and Fairborn also have had instances of threatening notes this week. “Hopefully the arrests today will help that (note writing) stop,” Kronour said, “Once students see the consequences, we’re hoping that helps put a stop to this in Tipp City and other schools.” There still is a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the prosecution of individuals responsible for writing the messages.

centrifuges at Natanz within six to nine months, assuming that Tehran had the material to make the machines. Iran, in its dealings both with the six powers and the IAEA, has continually acted as if it were in the position of strength. On Saturday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, asserted that his country was not seeking nuclear weapons, but that if Tehran intended to build them, “the U.S. could in no way stop the Iranian nation.” David Albright, whose Institute for Science and International Security is a source for the U.S. government on proliferation issues, said Iran’s hopes that the new centrifuges could strengthen its hand at the Kazakhstan talks could backfire. “Given the low expectations for negotiations during the next several months, Iran risks giving the impression to the West that it is racing to the bomb rather than strengthening its negotiating position,” he said Wednesday. But analyst Yousaf Butt, professor and scientist-in-residence at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, said that with Iran legally entitled to enrich the six powers first “should consider rolling back some sanctions” if they want Iran to respond.

Arrests pursuit of the other note writers,” Graham said. “It’s an understatement that there’s a tremendous amount of pressure to get this solved.” Graham said that for the first few days since the threatening school notes started to appear, nobody was talking. Since the Wednesday arrest, the floodgates have opened and leads are coming into the police. Tipp City Schools Superintendent Dr. John Kronour noted that suspension and recommendation for expulsion of both students will be “forthcoming.” “I would like to thank the Tipp Police Department,” he said, “They’ve done an awesome job leading this charge and keeping kids safe.” Neither student has given a reason for their actions, although Kronour said the

usable material. About 700 of the old machines at Fordo are churning out higher-enriched material that is still below but just a technical step away from weapons-grade uranium. Iran says it needs that higher-enriched level to fuel a research reactor With higher-enriched uranium their immediate concern, the six powers over the past months have inched toward meeting Iranian demands of sanctions relief but say Tehran must first suspend its output at Fordo. Iran, in turn, wants sanctions eased before it commits to even a discussion of an enrichment cutback. The diplomats said Iran was also upgrading its enrichment capabilities at Fordo but declined to provide further details ahead of the release of the IAEA report. In first revealing plans to update last month, Iran indicated that It could add more than 3,000 of the new-generation centrifuges to the more than 10,000 older models it has at Natanz turning out enriched uranium at grades lower than at Fordo. The lower the grade, the harder it would be to turn into weapons-grade material. Olli Heinonen, the former IAEA deputy director general in charge of Iran, told the AP last week that Iran could install 3,000 or more of the high-tech

underground after failing to get international help for its uranium enrichment program in the 1980s, working secretly until its activities were revealed a decade ago. More recent proposals for international shipments of reactor fuel in exchange for Iranian enrichment concessions have foundered, with each side blaming the other. Shrugging off demands to mothball enrichment and growing international sanctions Iran has instead vastly expanded the program to where experts say it already has enough enriched uranium for several weapons if the material is further enriched. The start of the centrifuge upgrade at Natanz, Iran’s main enrichment site southeast of Tehran, flies in the face of worldpower efforts to induce Iran to scale back on enrichment. As such, it is likely to hurt chances of progress at Feb. 26 talks in Kazakhstan between the two sides adding to a string of negotiating failures. When Iran announced its intentions last month, Western diplomats downplayed the proclamation’s significance, noting Tehran did not say when it would start populating Natanz with the new machines. But any start of an upgrade is sure to increase international concerns,
particularly if verified as expected in an IAEA report later this week. The three diplomats speaking to the AP on Wednesday all are involved in the Vienna-based IAEA’s attempts to monitor Iran’s nuclear program. They demanded anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss confidential information. Meeting Iran in Kazakhstan are the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. Russia and China often are at odds with the West on how harshly Iran’s nuclear activities should be censured, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said recently that Iran was within its legal rights to install new generation centrifuges. At the same time, he called for a suspension of uranium enrichment during negotiations to improve the political atmosphere. While moving to increase the potency of its enrichment program with the new centrifuges, however, Tehran also has recently resumed converting some of its higher-level enriched uranium at its Fordo enrichment site into reactor fuel plates after suspending the activity last year. That is likely to provide some reassurance to nations concerned about Iran’s nuclear aims because the plates are difficult to reconvert back into weapons

TROY DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL
School threats no laughing matter At the very worst, the threats made against local schools, seven in the past week within the Troy and Tipp City School districts, are the acts of sick people who have all-too-real intentions of doing physical harm to teachers, faculty and fellow students. Even in the best-case scenario — and let’s hope we are looking at a best-case scenario — they are the acts of children who think this is some sort of joke. If this is supposed to be a joke — and again, pray that’s all this is — nobody is laughing. Since Feb. 13, a total of seven threatening notes or messages — four at Tippecanoe High School, one at Tippecanoe Middle School and one each at Troy High School and Troy Junior High School — have been found in boys restrooms within the two districts. So far, three suspects have been arrested and, according to school and law enforcement officials within the two communities, more are believed to be involved in the crimes.

It creates fear. Students no longer can feel completely safe in the school environment. No student should ever have to feel as though their lives could be endangered by attending school. Parents face a similar dilemma. Do they risk sending their children to school and having them walk into a possible line of fire? Or, by the same token, do they let the fear-mongers win by not allowing their children to attend school? It’s a dilemma no parents should ever have to face. It’s not any easier for school administrators. They are forced into a situation in which they are trying to keep the educational process as normal as possible — nearly impossible, given the circumstances — while at the same time ensuring the safety of everyone. Nobody wins in such situations. If this is a situation of a kid hoping to cause others serious physical harm, hopefully he or she will get the necessary help immediately, before anyone gets hurt. If this is a case of someone trying to pull a joke on the rest of us, take a good look around. Nobody is laughing.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain on Pope Benedict’s decision to step down: The decision by Pope Benedict XVI to retire at the end of this month shocked many Catholics — and even non-Catholics — around the world. But the pontiff’s decision is entirely in keeping with his beliefs. He laid the groundwork for the decision years ago, saying popes have the obligation to resign if they can’t carry on. When he was elected the 265th pope on April 19, 2005 at age 78, he was the oldest pope elected in 275 years and the
first German one in nearly 1,000 years. As of Feb. 28, he will become the first pope to resign since 1415. One of his most popular acts was his beatification of his predecessor, John Paul II, in record time, drawing 1.5 million people to Rome in 2011 to witness the late pontiff’s move a step closer to sainthood. Conservatives cheered his championing of the pre-Vatican II church and his insistence on tradition, even if it cost the church popularity among liberals. Benedict favored Masses heavy in Latin and the brocaded silk vestments of his predecessors.
It has been obvious to all that the pope has slowed down significantly in recent years, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. He now goes to and from the altar in St. Peter’s Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the long walk down the aisle. Occasionally, he uses a cane. The telescope of history likely will determine how important Benedict XVI has been to the direction of the Catholic Church. Meanwhile, we extend our good will to the many Catholics who live in Southern Colorado on the news that the current papacy is about to expire.

DOONESBURY
Troy football’s ‘Mount Rushmore:’ let the debate begin Perhaps the only thing harder than trying to find a needle in a haystack is trying to fit a boulder in a teacup. Later this evening local media members and historians will meet with the Troy High School Athletic Hall of Fame Committee as it continues in its attempts to put together the inaugural Troy athletic hall of fame. I’m not sure I’m going to be of much help. Not for lack of knowledge or candidates, mind you — quite the opposite. In more than a century of organized high school athletics, Troy has put together a rich history that would rival most schools of its size throughout the state of Ohio. Across every varsity sport, it has sent dozens upon dozens of athletes to compete at the collegiate level, along with several professional athletes. It also has produced hundreds, if not thousands, of high school athletes who — while maybe choosing not to pursue an athletic career at the next level — were amongst the very best at what they did while at Troy. The easy thing to do would be to make the inaugural hall of fame class number in the dozens. That would not, however, be the right thing to do. This first class should be something truly special. The
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor committee will never get a second chance to induct a first class — and it has to make sure it does it right. I’ll give my best advice — but I’m not sure there is a right answer. How do you possibly narrow down hundreds of worthy candidates into a class of between 510? Good luck with that. I’m not even sure I could figure out which five football players I would induct — let alone five football, volleyball, soccer, cross country, golf, tennis, basketball, wrestling, swimming, bowling, gymnastics, hockey, baseball, softball or track and field athletes I would induct. I am, however, willing to take a stab at it — the football part, that is. I am going to try to build a “Mount Rushmore” of Troy High School football (note: not literally). If I could only pick four people to
best represent Troy football and more than 100 years of legends and lore, my thought process would go a little something like this … The first three choices are, in my humble opinion, set in stone (Get it? Stone? Mount Rushmore?) Bob Ferguson, Ryan Brewer and Kris Dielman — in no particular order — all have to be there. Ferguson was a two-time AllAmerican at The Ohio State University, won the Maxwell Award and finished as the Heisman Trophy runner-up in a vote that still bothers me more than 50 years after it took place (compare Ferguson’s numbers as a senior to those of the Heisman winner, Syracuse’s Ernie Davis, if you want to know why). More than that, he was a mythological figure who became what future generations of Troy football players would try to emulate. Of course, nobody thought what Ferguson accomplished as a running back would ever be matched until … … Brewer came along. Brewer matched or surpassed all of those records on his way to earning Mr. Football Ohio honors. Like Ferguson, he would inspire future generations of Trojan football players. Brewer’s teammate at Troy was
Dielman, who was a wrecking machine who went on to become an All-Pro player with the NFL’s San Diego Chargers. He likely earned his spot at Troy’s Mount Rushmore while still in high school, but he absolutely cemented it as a pro. Which leaves one spot open. Can I possibly separate the quarterback-receiver tandem of Tommy Myers and Tommy Vaughn? Is it fair to select Gordon Bell off a 1971 team that may have been amongst the best not only in school history, but in state history? What about football coaches? Do I add a Lou Juillerat, Jim Conard or Steve Nolan? Truly, all of them would be good choices. I couldn’t go wrong with any of them. Except, of course, for the people who disagree with me. In their minds, any choice I make is going to be the wrong one. With that in mind, I’ll go ahead and select Bell, who would go on to become an All-America at Michigan and enjoy a brief NFL career. The difference between Bell, Myers and Vaughn, however, is negligible. I made my choice and I’ll stick with it. Let the debate begin. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News.

Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. I have been dating "Brianna" for 10 months. She graduated last year and attended a community college, but really had no ambition or motivation to be there. We spent last summer together, and I honestly fell head over heels in love with her. Here's the problem. I have been accepted to many colleges out of town. It has always been my dream to go away to school. I told Brianna it wouldn't be fair to either of us to stay together while I am away, but I want us to be together as much as possible until then. Ever since I mentioned this to Brianna, however, things haven't been the same. We've been arguing a lot. Brianna's dad left when she was 12, and she's still crushed by it. She doesn't get along well with her family and tells me I'm all she has. She says when I go away to school, I'll be leaving her just like everybody else. Now I feel nothing but guilt when I think about college. I want us to enjoy our time together as much as possible. I want Brianna to be my date for my senior prom, but I don't want her to think I'm simply using her. It's not true. She is the only person I want by my side. Annie, do you think it's fair that we're staying together now even though we're most likely breaking up when I leave for college? I want the full college experience, and I know a long-distance relationship will be miserable, because Brianna and I argue constantly via text messages when we're only 10 minutes away. Have I made the right decision? — College Bound and Confused Dear College Bound: Whether or not to stay together until the end of the summer is up to Brianna, too. If she can handle it, wishing you well, it's a solid idea, and you can plan to see each other over winter break. But if Brianna feels you are abandoning her, she may try to hold you hostage emotionally, pressuring you to alter your plans. That will only create hard feelings and resentment all around. Talk to Brianna and ask what she wants to do, but be firm about your future. Good luck. Dear Annie: Last June, a coworker committed suicide. The staff and I were extremely devastated. No one saw it coming. Now, all these months later, two of my best friends at work have decided to get a tribute tattoo in this person's honor. These friends were not particularly close to this co-worker, and this is the first death they have personally experienced. I know everyone deals with death in their own way, but they barely knew the co-worker who died. Our entire group of friends thinks this tattoo is a bad idea. We all want to say something, but don't know what. — Tattoo Troubles Dear Troubles: We think these two are looking for a way to honor their late co-worker. If you can recommend a better tribute (e.g., working for a suicide prevention hotline, Survivors of Suicide, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising funds for suicide awareness), you could suggest it as being more meaningful. But ultimately, how they choose to decorate their bodies is up to them. Dear Annie: "No Longer Compatible" said she isn't attracted to her husband because he stopped bathing and has bad breath, a beer belly and sinus issues. Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn't conferred with the vows. Has she actually told him what she wants from him? He may be relieved that better hygiene can fix the issue. My second husband wore a size 54 belt. I pretended modesty and wanted the lights out, but really didn't care to see his body. But he was an excellent lover because his most important organ was his brain. He tried to please and was completely unselfconscious. — Also Been Married to Buddha Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
It’s time to shine a light on halogen safety Dear Readers: Halogen lamps can be a nice addition to your home. I have one in our living room! However, they can pose a fire risk due to their high temperatures, especially if the lamp is old. They should be placed in the right location to be safe. Here are some helpful hints from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Underwriters Laboratories: • Do not place the lamp near curtains or bedding. • Never put any material (clothing, scarves or towels) on the lamp. • Do not leave the lamp on when you leave the room or the home.
Hints from Heloise Columnist • Keep the lamp away from children or pets. • Use only a halogen bulb of 300 watts or less to reduce fire risk. — Heloise NAPKIN PLACEMENT Dear Heloise: My wife and I take turns cooking each night. She gets three nights, I get three nights, and we eat out
one night. When I cook, she sets the table, and when she cooks, I set the table. Hopefully, you can settle this dispute for us. I say the napkin goes under the fork on the left side. She says the napkin goes under the knife and spoon on the right side. It’s driving me nuts. She will do what you say. Which one of us is correct? — A Reader, Carlisle, Pa. Well, this is certainly an interesting question! According to the Emily Post Institute, in an informal (like at home) place setting, the napkin should go to the left of the utensils (which would be left of the forks).
Sometimes the napkin is placed under the forks. Hopefully, this makes setting the table a little easier! But, my thought is that whoever sets the table gets to set it the way he or she wants! — Heloise HELPING HAND Dear Heloise: A friend’s spouse was recently hospitalized in serious condition. As we organized meals for the family, I recommended that we buy paper towels, toilet paper, disposable plates and utensils. Meals are eaten quickly, but the family needs basics to help make life a little easier. — Pam D., via email

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, Feb. 22, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The next several weeks are marvelous for any kind of research. If you’ve been postponing looking for something or trying to find hidden information, start looking right now. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Friends from your past or acquaintances from clubs and associations you haven’t seen for a while will be back in your life again in the next month. Yep, it’s Mercury retrograde, folks. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The next month is an excellent time to rehash things with an authority figure because it’s easy to finish things. However, it’s a poor time to begin new projects. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) If traveling in the next month, it would be wise to return to places you’ve been before. This is also a good month to finish school projects or that dreaded thesis. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Now is the time to wrap up loose details with wills, inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property. The next few weeks will be perfect for these activities. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Ex-partners from your past are back in your world again. Consider this an opportunity for closure or wrapping up unfinished business. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Delays, silly mistakes, lost paperwork and canceled appointments are par for the course for the next month, because Mercury is retrograde. Just grin and bear it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Many of you will run into old flames in the next month. (Look great when you go out, because living well is the best revenge.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Family reunions and family business will take place in the next month. Stock the fridge, because relatives you haven’t heard from might be sleeping on your sofa. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Transportation delays and repairs to trucks and cars are likely in the next month. Try to do a little damage control ahead of time if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) If you’re looking for work in the next month, return to places you have contacted before, because they will be your best chances for success. Financial matters can be wrapped up as well. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You feel like you’re caught in a time warp, losing books and paperwork. Don’t worry; Mercury is retrograde in your sign for the next month. YOU BORN TODAY You’re sensitive, imaginative and selfless to the point of self-sacrifice. You feel elevated if you can devote yourself to a worthy cause. Because of your idealism, you are patriotic and have a strong sense of duty. These qualities give you focus and dedication to whatever you pursue. In your year ahead, work hard to build or construct something, because your rewards soon will follow.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, Feb. 21, the 52nd day of 2013. There are 313 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 21, 1613, Mikhail Romanov, 16, was unanimously chosen by Russia’s national assembly to be czar, beginning a dynasty that would last three centuries. On this date: • In 1862, Nathaniel Gordon became the first and only American slave-trader to be executed under the U.S. Piracy Law of 1820 as he was hanged in New York. • In 1885, the Washington Monument was dedicated.
• In 1916, the World War I Battle of Verdun began in France as German forces attacked; the French were able to prevail after 10 months of fighting. • In 1925, The New Yorker magazine made its debut. • In 1945, during the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima, the escort carrier USS Bismarck Sea was sunk by kamikazes with the loss of 318 men. • In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon began his historic visit to China as he and his wife, Pat, arrived in Beijing. • Five years ago: Serb rioters broke into the U.S. Embassy in
Belgrade and set fire during protests against Western support for an independent Kosovo. President George W. Bush concluded his six-day African tour in Liberia, where he offered help to lift the country from years of ruinous fighting. • Today’s Birthdays: Film/music company executive David Geffen is 70. Actor Alan Rickman is 67. Actress Tyne Daly is 67. Actor Anthony Daniels is 67. Tricia Nixon Cox is 67. Actress Christine Ebersole is 60. Actor William Petersen is 60. Actor Kelsey Grammer is 58. Country singer Mary Chapin Carpenter is 55. Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is 34.
Dirt pudding makes for a delicious treat The school will have Friday and Monday off for a mid-winter break. Recently is was Valentine’s Day, so the elementary classes had their party. Last night Joseph 10, Lovina, 8, and Kevin, 7, signed all their cards to their classmates. This is Joseph’s last year in elementary school so this was last Valentine’s party. We headed out for the two-hour trip to Berne, Ind. on Saturday at around 7:15 a.m. We had set our hired van driver to be here around 6:30 a.m. He got out of his van and somehow left his keys locked in side. His son brought a spare pair and we were on our way 45 minutes later. Nine out of the 12 siblings were at Joe’s sisters house for the late family Christmas gathering. There was more than enough food for the 10:30 a.m. carry-in brunch. Snacks were served later on in the day. After we left the gathering on Saturday, we drove into the place we used to live before we moved to Michigan almost nine years ago. From there we stopped in at the homeplace where I lived until after daughters Elizabeth and Susan were born. The family that lived there now was kind enough to offer us to go inside the house. We were running short on time, so we decided not to. The three oldest daughters seem to remember the most of the place. It brought back a lot of memories but the saying proves true that “home is where the heart is.” We stopped in for a short visit with sister Liz and Levi. From there, we headed to brother Amos’
THE AMISH COOK
Lovina Eicher Troy Daily News Guest Columnist and Nancy’s house. Amos is recovering from bronchitis. In the van accident on Jan. 9 he had badly bruised lungs. That seems to make it harder to get rid of his cough. He hasn’t been back to work since the accident but wants to go soon. It is difficult for Amos not to be able to go to work. The results for the 23year-old boy who was in the accident are better than they first thought. He does have some feeling in his feet and one of his thighs. He is doing better than the doctors thought he would. We hope and pray he continues to improve with therapy. After we left Amos’ house, we stopped to see sister Leah and Paul. Paul had been in scheduled to have hernia surgery last week. The doctor didn’t do the surgery due to Paul’s blood pressure being high and signs of weakness in his heart. He will need to have some tests done on his heart. Hopefully everything will work out and good health will be restored. Last week daughter Susan made monster cookies to take along to the family gathering. Seeing the bag of M&M’s brought back a lot of memories from my Grandpa Coblentz. When we were
little children, every time he came to visit he would bring us a bag of M&M’s to share. We would be so excited and evenly count them into piles. We tried to make our pile last as long as we could savoring each morsel. Not once do I see or taste M&M’s without thinking of Grandpa Coblentz. We recently had Loretta to the children’s hospital, where she had surgery on her feet last fall. The doctors were really pleased at how well she was doing. She can go six months without her braces to see how she does. Also, she is doing all of her therapy here at home now. We pray her strength will keep getting stronger but we need to accept whatever God’s will is. I want to thank everyone for prayers and encouragement. It helps to know others care. God’s blessings to all. Daughter Verena made this pudding last night as a treat for us all. Sister Emma always prepared this pudding a lot and our family always enjoys it.

This Feb. 11photo shows speedy pear crisp in Concord, N.H.
Pear crisp a just dessert By the Associated Press
Sometimes, even on a weeknight, you really crave a little dessert. But making dessert takes time, and you already are spending time cooking up the main event, namely dinner. That’s where this recipe comes to the rescue. It’s a quick, easy and delicious pear crisp that calls for just five ingredients pears, granola, lemon juice, apricot jam and a pinch of salt. Pears are just now at the tail-end of their season. Yes, I know we can find pears all year these days. But believe me, those specimens are DIRT PUDDING going to be nowhere near as 1 12 ounce package of electrifying as a fullyOreo cookies ripened in-season local pear. 2 3 ounce boxes of The problem is the relative instant vanilla pudding rareness of such pears. 1 16 ounce Cool Whip Ralph Waldo Emerson was 1 8 ounce cream cheese onto something when he 1 stick margarine, melted wrote, “There are only 10 3 cups milk minutes in the life of a pear Crush cookies with a when it is perfect to eat.” rolling pin.

Pour don’t have time to let them over crumbs and then top ripen, this recipe comes in with Cool Whip. Sprinkle mighty handy. Baking an with leftover crumbs and unripe pear not only makes chill. it tender, it also crystallizes
and magnifies the fruit’s flavor. Happily, any kind of pear and there are many varieties will work in this recipe, as will a mix of varieties. Pears also have a lot to offer in terms of health. They’re a good source of vitamin C and a great source of fiber. As for granola, there are a zillion brands in the cereal aisle of the supermarket. The problem is that many of them are laden with fat and sugar even as they masquerade under a healthy halo. That’s why the recommended portion on the back of most granola boxes is just 1/4 cup. Pour yourself a normal, adult-sized portion and you might as well be tucking into a breakfast of waffles and sausage. So when you shop for granola, look for a brand that’s lower in fat, sugar and calories than the competition and which also contains lots of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. And if you want to bump up the nutritional value of this recipe even more, you also could add 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed. With all of that said, I wouldn’t worry too much about the amount of granola in this recipe. Per serving, it’s about what the granola
box recommends, and mostly serves to put the crisp on this pear crisp. Heck, you’d be much better off serving this dessert for breakfast than dogging a big bowl of nothing but granola. SPEEDY PEAR CRISP Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes active) Servings: 8 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon apricot preserves or sweetened fruit spread 4 pears (about 2 pounds), peeled, cored and thinly sliced 2 tablespoons lemon juice Table salt 2 cups purchased granola Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a shallow 6-cup baking dish with cooking spray. In a small saucepan over medium-low, heat the preserves until melted and easily stirred. Set the sliced pears in a large bowl, then drizzle the preserves over them. Add the lemon juice and salt, then toss well. Spread the pears evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the granola evenly over the pears, then cover the dish loosely with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes, or until the pears are tender. Serve hot or cold.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Irving clutch for Cavaliers
BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Eaton had any number of chances to seal the game in the fourth quarter. Tippecanoe had an equal number of chances to take it from the Eagles. In a matchup of two young teams learning how to win big games in big moments, Eaton managed to make one more play.
NEW CARLISLE Danielle Karns hit a jumper on an in-bounds play under the Eaton basket to give the Eagles a two-point lead with little more than two minutes to play, but they shot poorly from the freethrow line the rest of the way and gave the Red Devils the opportunities they needed to tie it up or take the lead. But Tippecanoe couldn’t convert on any of them, and Eaton left Tecumseh High School with a 49-47 victory Wednesday in the Division II sectional semifinal
COLUMBUS (AP) — No. 18 Ohio State played great defense, there’s no question about it. But much of the blame for Minnesota’s lopsided 71-45 loss to the Buckeyes on Wednesday night stemmed from a world of mistakes by the Golden Gophers. “You get beat bad when you don’t make shots,” coach Tubby Smith said. “It’s a combination of shooting poorly and turning the ball over that’s a perfect storm for getting beat.” Deshaun Thomas overcame a slow start to score 19 points and the Buckeyes used a 16-0 secondhalf run to wallop the offensively-challenged Gophers. “We didn’t play perfect, but we kept pursuing the ball, kept moving,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “A couple times in the first half we made mistakes, but we recovered from them. The thing I was most pleased with was, we just kept playing.” That had not been the

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 20 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 105-100 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night. Irving was coming off an impressive showing at All-Star weekend in Houston and scored 11 consecutive points for the Cavaliers as they broke away from an 83-all tie in the final 4:23. His performance brought the crowd at Quicken Loans Arena to its feet during the final minutes and had Irving pumping his fist on several occasions. The game featured a matchup between the past two No. 1 overall draft picks Irving and Hornets center Anthony Davis. Irving made 13 of 22 shots and all seven of his free throws while having seven assists. Davis had 12 points and four rebounds.

Confused testimony by officer in Pistorius case Snow delays start of Match Play tourney Already a year of wacky weather on the PGA Tour, this might have topped it all — snow. The opening round of the Match Play Championship was suspended Wednesday when a cold rain that came down sideways quickly gave way to snow from a winter storm that dumped close to 2 inches on Dove Mountain in just over an hour. See Page 14.
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — The detective leading the police investigation into Oscar Pistorius’ fatal shooting of his girlfriend offered confusing testimony Wednesday, at one point agreeing with the athlete’s defense that officers had no evidence challenging the runner’s claim he accidentally killed her. Testimony by Detective Warrant Officer Hilton Botha of the South African Police Service left prosecutors rubbing their temples, only able to look down at their notes as he misjudged distances and acknowledged a
forensics team left in the toilet bowl one of the bullet slugs fired at Reeva Steenkamp. However, Botha still poked holes in Pistorius’ own account that he feared for his life and opened fire on Valentine’s Day after mistaking Steenkamp for an intruder. The second day of the bail hearing in a case that has riveted South Africa and much of the world appeared at first to go against the double-amputee runner, with prosecutors saying a witness can testify to hearing “non-stop talking, like shouting” between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. before
the predawn shooting on Feb. 14. However, Botha later said under cross examination that the person who overheard the argument was in a house 600 meters (yards) away in Pistorius’ gated community in the suburbs of South Africa’s capital, Pretoria. Later, prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned Botha again and the detective acknowledged the distance was much closer. But confusion reigned for much of his testimony, when at one point Botha said officers found syringes and steroids in Pistorius’ bedroom. Nel quickly
cut the officer off and said the drugs were actually testosterone. Pistorius’ lead defense lawyer, Barry Roux, asserted when questioning the detective — who has 16 years’ experience as a detective and 24 years with the police — that it was not a banned substance and that police were trying to give the discovery a “negative connotation.” “It is an herbal remedy,” Roux said. “It is not a steroid and it is not a banned substance.”

Armstrong won’t interview with USADA under oath AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong will not do a tell-all interview under oath with the agency that exposed his performanceenhancing drug use and took his seven Tour de France titles. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency had told Armstrong he would have to reveal all knows about doping in cycling — a process officials expected would take several days — if he wanted to reduce his lifetime ban from sports. Wednesday was the latest deadline for Armstrong
to decide on USADA’s offer. tion.” USADA chief executive After negotiating with the agency for two months, he Travis Tygart said the agency had refused. e x p e c t e d Armstrong Armstrong would attorney Tim agree to talk and Herman said the would be “moving cyclist “will not on” without him. participate in “Over the last USADA’s efforts few weeks he has to selectively conled us to believe duct American that he wanted to prosecutions that come in and only demonize assist USADA, selected individu- ARMSTRONG but was worried als while failing to address the 95 percent of of potential criminal and the sport over which civil liability if he did so,” USADA has no jurisdic- Tygart said. “Today we
learned from the media that Mr. Armstrong is choosing not to come in and be truthful and that he will not take the opportunity to work toward righting his wrongs in sport.” Herman has said Armstrong is willing to participate in an international effort to clean up cycling, an effort that has broken down in spats between the International Cycling Union, the sport’s governing body, and the World Anti-Doping Agency. “He will be the first man through the door, and once
inside will answer every question, at an international tribunal formed to comprehensively address pro cycling, an almost exclusively European sport,” Herman said. For more than a decade, Armstrong denied using performance-enhancing drugs. But last year, USADA released a report that detailed extensive doping on his Tour de Francewinning teams and stripped him of those victories. Armstrong then admitted last month in an interview with Oprah Winfrey
that he doped to win those races. Tygart has accused Armstrong of lying in portions of that interview, most notably Armstrong’s claim that he raced clean when he came out of retirement in 2009-2010. USADA’s report says blood evidence shows Armstrong cheated during his comeback. USADA also wants to question Armstrong under oath about whether cycling officials helped him cover up positive drug tests during his career, charges he continues to deny.

Leake trying to keep 5th spot
Winter wonderland
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Right-hander Mike Leake cut his long hair before the start of the Cincinnati Reds’ spring training, giving himself a much different look. “I just thought it was time for a change,” Leake said. “I couldn’t grow it long in high school and college, so I rebelled a little bit.” It’s not the only major change for the 25-year-old starter as camp opens. He’s no longer assured a spot in the rotation, with left-hander Aroldis Chapman getting an opportunity to compete for the fifth spot. Expectations for the first-round pick from 2009 have changed. He wasn’t expected to make the pitching staff when he reported to spring training as a rookie, but earned the final spot in the rotation and made the jump directly from college to the majors. He had two winning seasons, going 8-4 with a 4.23 ERA and 12-9 with a 3.86 ERA. Last year, he slipped to 8-9 with a 4.58 ERA in 30 starts. He filled in for the injured Johnny Cueto during the playoffs and gave up five runs, including two homers, dur-
ing a loss to the Giants. Overall, his third season was a disappointment. “I told him the toughest years in the big leagues are the third, fourth and fifth years when everybody knows you,” manager Dusty Baker said. “They know when you’re not getting the breaking ball over. They know you follow a change-up with a fastball. Now it’s up to you to adjust.” Leake is preparing the same way he has the last three springs, knowing there is a difference in how he is perceived. He also knows that general manager Walt Jocketty would like to have a left-hander in the rotation — Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey and Leake are right-handers. That could give Chapman an edge. “Whatever happens, happens,” Leake said. “You try to learn from what you did or didn’t do. For the most part, you just try to move on. You try to get back to where you were mentally or physically, whatever it is that you needed fixing. You don’t dwell on bad years.”

New-look Indians buzz about Swisher GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Rain, wind and general gloominess reported to the Indians’ spring training camp on Wednesday, forcing the club to move batting practice and pitcher’s workouts inside. The change seemed to ruin the day for a few players. Nick Swisher wasn’t one of them. In Swisher’s world, it’s 80 and sunny, not a cloud in sight. Always, bro. “Hey, that’s just who I am,” the Indians first baseman said, flashing an infectious smile that never seems to fade. “I’ve been this way since I was like 6.” Swisher, who signed a
four-year, $56 million contract — the largest for a free agent in Cleveland history — this winter, has brought his endless energy and enthusiasm to the Indians, a club desperately needing an infusion of something following a painful 94-loss season. While there’s some who wonder whether he’s putting on an act, the 32year-old Swisher says he’s just being himself. “It’s funny,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for 10 years, bro, and people still question it. It’s me being me — whether you like it or not.” Swisher never stops. Just watch him for a minute in the Indians’ clubhouse.
Snow halts opening round at Match Play MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — Already a year of wacky weather on the PGA Tour, this might have topped it all — snow. The opening round of the Match Play Championship was suspended Wednesday when a cold rain that came down sideways quickly gave way to snow from a winter storm that dumped close to 2 inches on Dove Mountain in just over an hour. “I’ve never actually played golf to the point where we’ve actually stopped for snow, which is kind of crazy,” said Jason Day of Australia, who was 6 up through 10 holes over Zach Johnson. “A little crazy for it to snow in the desert, as well. But that’s just how it is. Mother Nature can do whatever she wants.” Ten matches had not even started when players were called off the course as slush was starting to form on the greens. Two hours later, The RitzCarlton Club was a blanket of snow as temperatures dipped as low as 33 degrees. The rest of the day was called off. “I’ve seen snow on the course when I was a kid, but nothing like that on any of the tours,” said Rory McIlroy, who along with Tiger Woods was among those 10 matches that never had to hit a shot. Sergio Garcia, in the leadoff match, had just holed a 10-foot par putt to win the 15th hole and go 2 up over Thongchai Jaidee when play was suspended. The tour was meeting with television officials to figure out when to start and how to get back on schedule. The 64-man field is cut in half after each round, and with sunshine in the forecast the rest of the week, it should not be difficult to get caught up. So much for a tour that follows the sun. Ian Poulter’s only other tournament this year was on Maui for the Tournament of Champions, where it took four days just to get started because of high wind, and then the

A volunteer walks along the practice green as snow falls during the Match Play Championship Wednesday in Marana, Ariz. Play was suspended. 54-hole event was over 29 hours after it started. And now this. “I can’t believe it. When have we ever seen that?” he said, taking off his rain gear in front of his locker. “The two events I’ve attempted to play this year have been three days of 50 mph wind and 2 inches of snow in an hour. It’s absolutely, flippin’ unbelievable.” What does that say for the rest of the year? “Can’t get worse,” he said. “Just incredible. Bizarre. Have you ever seen it? Especially where we are.” Maybe he should consider himself lucky. At least he didn’t play Torrey Pines, where fog wiped out an entire round Saturday and Woods had to wait until Monday afternoon to polish off his 75th career win. There were frost delays in the opening rounds of Phoenix earlier this month. But snow? “I remember one year in Vegas in a collegiate tournament it was sleeting,” said Webb Simpson, who played one shot. “We all charged toboggans to our
coach in the pro shop and he wasn’t too happy about it. This is crazy weather. But we’ve got a great forecast for the weekend, so hopefully, it will melt tonight.” Poulter was cold from the start, rubbing his hands together in the morning chill of high desert — about 2,800 feet above sea level — and he jumped in place to keep warm. He built a 3-up lead over Stephen Gallacher through 12 holes. In only 3½ hours of golf, there was some impressive play. Bo Van Pelt, who took three shots to get out of a bunker early in his match against John Senden, won six straight holes — only two of them with birdies — to build a 5-up lead through 12. Matt Kuchar was 3 up over Hiroyuki Fujita through 14 holes, while defending champion Hunter Mahan was 4 up at the turn over Matteo Manassero. “We knew this was coming, so I think we were all somewhat prepared for the cold and everything,” Mahan said. “We also didn’t think we were actually
high enough to get snow, and get this amount. We go sleet and ice, and you can’t putt or hit shots with ice coming at you.” The best competition might have come after play ended. Rickie Fowler wound up and fired snowballs from the parking lots. The caddies spent an hour having a snowball fight, though most of the players stayed inside. That included Carl Pettersson, a guy who tries to see the glass half-full. “This is one time I have the advantage of being fat,” Pettersson said. With delays like this, he might have company. “It seems like every rain delay — or snow delay — that we have, you just seem to sit there and eat dessert,” Day said. “And there’s a bunch of yummy chocolates in there.” None of the top four seeds had teed off. Charles Howell III, who hasn’t faced Woods since the third round of the 1996 U.S. Amateur, hit four putts on the practice green when he arrived. That was the extent of his work Wednesday.
caliber pistol rounds in a safe, which Botha said Pistorius owned illegally and for which he said the athlete would be charged with a crime. However, Botha also acknowledged investigators didn’t take photographs of the ammunition and let Pistorius’ supporters at the crime scene take them away. Botha said the holster for the 9 mm pistol was found under the left side of the bed, the side on which Steenkamp slept. He also implied it would have been impossible for Pistorius to get the gun without checking to see if Steenkamp was there. Roux later argued that Pistorius had suffered an injury to his right shoulder and wore a “medical patch” the night of the killing which forced him to
sleep on the left side of the bed. Steenkamp was shot in the head over her right ear and in her right elbow and hip, breaking her arm and hip, Botha said. However, Roux later asked Botha if Steenkamp’s body showed “any pattern of defensive wounds.” The detective said no. Botha also said the shots were fired from 1.5 meters (five feet), and that police found three spent cartridges in the bathroom and one in the hallway connecting the bathroom to the bedroom. However, later on cross-examination by the defense, Botha said he wasn’t a forensics expert and couldn’t answer some questions. Police also found two iPhones in the bathroom
and two BlackBerrys in the bedroom, Botha said, adding that none had been used to phone for help. Roux later suggested that a fifth phone, not collected by the police, was used by Pistorius to make calls for a hospital and help. After the hearing, Roux told journalists that Pistorius’ defense team had the phone, but did not elaborate. Guards at the gated community where Pistorius lives did call the athlete, Botha said. The detective said that all the athlete said was: “I’m all right.” He didn’t hang up, Botha said, and the guards heard him uncontrollably weep. “Was it part of his premeditated plan, not to switch off the phone and cry?” Roux asked sarcastically.

Pistorius ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 The name of the drug, offered later in court by Roux, could not be immediately found in reference materials by The Associated Press. A spokesman for prosecutors later said it’s too early to know what the substance is, as they don’t yet have results of forensic testing on the material. Pistorius, 26, said in an affidavit read in court Tuesday that he and his 29year-old girlfriend had gone to bed and that when he awoke during the night he detected what he thought was an intruder in the bathroom. He testified that he grabbed his 9 mm pistol and fired into the door of a toilet enclosed in the bathroom, only to discover later to his horror that Steenkamp was there, mor-
tally wounded. Pistorius, the first Paralympian runner to compete at the Olympics, is charged with premeditated murder in the case. The prosecution attempted to cement its argument that the couple had a shouting match, that Steenkamp fled and locked herself into the toilet stall of the bathroom and that Pistorius fired four shots through the door, hitting her with three bullets. Botha said: “I believe that he knew that Reeva was in the bathroom and he shot four shots through the door.” But asked if the police found anything inconsistent with the version of events presented by Pistorius, Botha responded that they had not. He later said noth-
ing contradicted the police’s version either. Nel projected a plan of the bedroom and bathroom in the courtroom and argued that Pistorius had to walk past his bed to get to the bathroom and could not have done so without realizing that Steenkamp was not in the bed. “There’s no other way of getting there,” Nel said. Botha said the trajectory of the bullets showed the gun was fired pointed down and from a height. This seems to conflict with Pistorius’ statement Tuesday, because the athlete said that he did not have on his prosthetics and on his stumps and feeling vulnerable because he was in a low position when he opened fired. Officers also found .38-

Devils ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 round. The win puts the thirdseeded Eagles (20-4) into the sectional title game Saturday against Kenton Ridge, which had no trouble with Greenville 61-44 in the earlier semifinal game. “They (Eaton) hadn’t won a tournament game since 2001. They’re a good team, and they don’t have a senior on the team, either, so they’ll be good for a while,” Tippecanoe coach Aaron Jackson said. “We knew (this would be an evenly-matched game) going in.” Early on, it looked like Eaton would blow the No. 5 Devils (13-11) off the court as the Eagles cashed in on four turnovers in the first three minutes to jump out to a 15-5 lead. But the Devils settled down from there and chipped away at the lead, fighting their way back into the game. They trailed 18-11 at the end of the first and closed to within one at 20-19 in the second with a six-point run keyed by a pair of Carly Clodfelter steals and finishes by Chelsea Clawson. From there, the game was predictably back and forth. Eaton pulled back ahead by six at halftime and led by as many as eight at 38-30 at the end of three after getting eight points off the bench in the third from Libby Springmier … but the Devils simply wouldn’t go away. “We fought back,” Jackson said. “When they got up 38-30, at that point, they were getting every loose ball and rebound. So we told the girls we had to take care of the little things — every loose ball has to be yours, every rebound has to be yours. “There are only so many possessions in a game like this. This isn’t like a game against a Kenton Ridge where it’s up and down the floor and there are a ton of possessions. Every one of them is critical.” Early in the fourth, the Devils made the most of all of them. Tippecanoe kicked off the quarter on a 9-0 run to take their first lead of the game. Clodfelter played a big role in that defensively with a pair of blocked shots that led directly to baskets. First, she blocked a shot to Erica Comer, who hit Clawson for an and-one on a fast break that closed the gap to 38-35. After a drive by Clawson (10 points) cut the deficit to one, Clodfelter swatted away an Eaton putback, and Halee Printz set up Comer for a jumper to give the Devils their first lead at 39-38 with 5:30 to play. Clodfelter finished with eight points, eight rebounds, four blocked shots, four steals and three assists, while Comer — playing in her final game as a Red Devil — scored all seven of her points in the second half. Eaton quickly retook the lead after losing it and got it back up to three after a jumper by Karns, but Printz — who scored a game-high 17 points — buried the Devils’ only 3pointer of the night to tie the score. Karns connected again, but Clodfelter tied it at 44-44 with an offensive rebound and a pair of free

Tippecanoe’s Halle Printz weaves her way between two Eaton defenders for a layup Wednesday night at Tecumseh High School. throws. “Halee played well, and Carly, she had her freshman moments but as a whole played very well,” said. “And Jackson Chelsea, we really challenged her, Sarah (Janosik) and McKensie (Logan) to contain Autumn Whitley in the second half. But Karns, we didn’t have anything to match that. Not many teams do.” Karns got free on an inbounds play and knocked down yet another short jumper for Eaton to make it 46-44 with 2:18 to go, and the Eagles were able to kill more than a minute before Tippecanoe called timeout with 1:06 left and had to start fouling. Whitley (nine points) hit two free throws to make it 48-44, but Comer hit a hook shot in the lane to make it a two-point game with 42.4 seconds left. From there, neither team could make the clutch play. Eaton went a dismal 1 for 6 from the free throw line, missing a pair of one-and-ones to give Tippecanoe a chance to get back into it. And on one possession, Kasey Titkemeyer hit Karns open under the basket for an easy layup — but a foul was called back at halfcourt right after the pass, wiping out the basket. Titkemeyer missed the front end but Karns was able to grab the rebound — only to have the ball stolen. But Printz couldn’t hit the game-tying shot on the other end after spinning to get to the basket, and Springmier grabbed the rebound and was immediately fouled. She missed the front end and Comer was fouled on the other end of the court, but she missed the first free throw, leaving the score at 48-47
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 The Cavaliers placed five players in double figures in snapping a threegame losing streak, but the night belonged to Irving. After his fall-away jumper gave Cleveland a two-point lead, he hit a 3pointer from a couple of steps behind the arc to put the Cavaliers ahead 88-83. That basket forced New Orleans to call a timeout, but Irving was just getting going. New Orleans missed again on its ensuing possession and Irving converted a layup between two defenders on a fast break for a 90-83 lead. He added another basket after driving the lane and two free throws. Irving drew national attention with his performance during the
weekend. He scored 15 points in his first All-Star game, won the 3-point contest and put up 32 points in the Rising Stars Challenge. Dion Waiters scored 16 points for the Cavaliers while C.J. Miles added 11. Brian Roberts led New Orleans with 17 points. Robin Lopez scored 15 points before fouling out, while Greivis Vasquez added 13. Irving had his worst performance of the season in the final game before the break against San Antonio with six points on 2-of-15 shooting. Cleveland played the finale of a seven-game homestand, which began with three wins. The Cavaliers then lost the last three games before the break.

Tippecanoe’s Chelsea Clawson is fouled while hitting a layup Wednesday against Eaton. after she hit the second. Titkemeyer hit a free throw on the other end, missed the second and Karns got the offensive rebound, but Springmier missed two from the line, giving the Devils one last chance with 3.6 seconds left. Printz was forced to throw up a desperation attempt from beyond halfcourt at the buzzer, and it fell short. It was the final game for Tippecanoe’s seniors — Comer, Janosik, Kayla Vath and Jessica Wise. “All four of them were around for all four years, too. It’s tough,” Jackson said. “It’s always tough to see your seniors go.” But the Devils who will
return next year got plenty of big-game experience this year. And will look to put everything they learned to use in the future.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Buckeyes’ modus operandi recently. The teams came into the night in dire need of a Big Ten win. Both had lost three of their last four, and each was humiliated on the road on Sunday. The Golden Gophers (189, 6-8 Big Ten) were pounded at Iowa, 72-51, while Ohio State (19-7, 95) wasn’t a factor over the final 35 minutes in a 7149 beatdown at Wisconsin. “We got knocked down, but it’s always good to pick yourself back up and regroup,” Thomas said. “We did that tonight.” Shannon Scott added 11 points and LaQuinton Ross 10 for the Buckeyes, who have won the last six meetings with the Golden Gophers overall and the last six in Columbus. “After the Wisconsin game, we felt bad about everything we did,” said Scott, who added five assists, three steals and three blocked shots in 26 minutes. In the wake of the loss at Wisconsin which several Buckeyes called “an embarrassment” Matta had his staff put together
an inspirational videotape of a speech by the Baltimore Ravens’ Ray Lewis. In it, Lewis in graphic terms made the point that it was up to individuals to get motivated. “It’s all on you to get a great effort,” Thomas said. The message was simple, Scott said: “Just to be ready at all times. Don’t take anything for granted.” Thomas had just two points (on 1 of 5 shooting from the field) in the opening 16 minutes. But then he gained his footing and starting making shots. After producing five late points which helped the Buckeyes gain a 29-23 halftime lead, he started the second half with a 3 from the left wing. He later dropped back behind the line after sitting a pick and took a pass from Craft for another 3 and a 37-28 lead. Andre Hollins hit a 15foot jumper from the left side for Minnesota with 16:15 left but the Gophers didn’t have another field goal until Oto Osenieks banked in a short shot with 5:36 left.
