TROY

Two Tipp City students who authorities charged with penning threatening notes at the high and middle school both faced a judge Thursday morning in Miami

County Juvenile Court at their arraignments. At the hearing, both male students, a 14-year-old Tippecanoe Middle School seventh-grader and the 15-year-old Tippecanoe High

School freshman, were read the charges against them, which are felony inducing panic and aggravated menacing and disorderly conduct. At the separate hearings, both of the teens entered pleas of denial, according to juvenile court officials, which is essentially a juvenile court plea of not guilty. Afterward, each juvenile was returned to the West Central

Juvenile Detention Center where they will remain at least until today when the pair attends their pretrial hearings, court staff said. The 14-year-old and the 15year-old will then have their separate adjudicatory hearings in juvenile court March 1 and March 7, respectively, according to juvenile court.

The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

crowd of supporters — both women and men — looked on. “It’s about victims being treated with dignity and recourse,” said Thomas, 52. “With the language of (last year’s) bill, I was really appalled that they wanted to preclude Native American women, the LGBT community and immigrants. I want John Boehner to bring it to a vote on the floor — not a watered-down version. The Senate version.” Currently tribal courts have no jurisdiction over non-Native American perpetrators, meaning a woman who is attacked on tribal land has no means of recourse. Additionally, immigrants and gay victims are fearful of the repercussions of coming forward with cases of abuse, she said. “For immigrants, if they’re attacked, the attacker could say, ‘If you report this, you’ll be deported.’ So, many of them don’t report it for fear of deportation. The act wants to remove that fear, to extend those protections to immigrant women,” Thomas said. “With the LGBT community, the problem is some programs discriminate against them, or victims under-report acts of violence with intimate partners for fear of getting police authority with homophobia, or fear of being outed.” Thomas is working to ensure that all victims receive the support and help they need. As outlined in her

people very highly,” said Bedard, a women’s advocate, in an interview after the event. “Actually, I would have to say you know someone — we all know someone who is going through a life of fear and abuse — mental, emotional, physical, spiritual. We all know someone.” Bedard, who lives in Alaska but has ties to Ohio, said she was disheartened watching the previous debate for the Violence Against Women Act. “The things that were coming out of the representatives’ mouths, the misunderstanding behind it all — there used to be a lot more education behind this issue,” Bedard said. “This affects all people, no matter who you are financially, across races, across genders. This affects every level.” She noted that organizations such as the Southcentral Foundation, an Alaska Native-owned nonprofit, are working to end the cycle of child abuse and child neglect resulting from domestic violence. However, such organizations are facing a lack of funding. “It’s not right that children should have to live in an environment where they have multiple traumatic experiences,” Bedard said. “Whether or not the child is physically harmed, the child is mentally and emotionally harmed.” Sofia Marquez, an advocate and interpreter at the Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County, brought a file to Boehner’s office containing

photos of anonymous women who had been abused. “It’s an eye-opener — an image gives you more than a 1,000 words. The bruises are there; the marks are there. And that’s only physical — you can’t see the emotional,” Marquez said, adding that the shelter would be forced to cut services and staff should the bill not pass. About 60 clients are served each month, with about 40 being new clients and roughly 20 returning clients, she estimated. “This progress can be really quick or it can drag on forever,” Marquez said. “Right now I’m closing cases from six months ago. It takes time; it’s a painful process.” Services include court-based advocacy and assistance, parenting classes and a battered women’s selfesteem support group. Shelter assistance is available 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Marquez said all women — regardless of race, sexuality or religion — need to be protected under the law. “My opinion is, a woman is a woman,” she said. “If you start labeling people, then you are giving other people excuses to not provide services to those you do not mention in the law.” For more information about the Family Abuse Shelter of Miami County call 339-6761 (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday); or the crisis hotline at 1-800-351-7347.

Safety • CONTINUED FROM 1 occurred Wednesday morning and afternoon for two of the five notes. At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, a Tippecanoe Middle School seventh grader was arrested for a threatening note written on a table in the cafeteria — the fifth one in the series. By 2 p.m., 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 seventh grader is 14 years old and the freshman is 15. They are being charged with inducing panic, a second-degree felony, and disorderly conduct and aggravated menacing, both misdemeanors. Tipp City Police Sergeant Detective Chris Graham noted those charges are subject to change.

petition, the Violence Against Women Act “initially strengthened federal penalties for repeat sexual offenders, mandated that women don’t have to pay for their own rape exams and helped communities develop law enforcement units dedicated to violence against women.” As of Feb. 21, the petition had garnered more than 218,000 signatures. The Dayton resident knows firsthand the difficulties of recovering from sexual assault: she was raped at gunpoint three decades ago. Thomas was a college student and the single mother of a 5-year-old daughter at the time. “In 1983, 30 years ago, I was coming home from Sinclair (Community College) — I had an evening chemistry class — and had just got off the bus,” Thomas recalled. “I had a fourblock walk home. A gentleman asked me what time it was. I looked down at my watch and looked up at the barrel of a gun.” Thomas wants to ensure all women have access to the support services they need. But without the renewal of this act, states could lose millions of dollars in funding. Native American actress Irene Bedard — who was the voice of Pocahontas in the Disney film by the same name — met Thomas for the first time Thursday morning, offering her support for the petition. “If you talk to any Native American person, they will have a story. It affects Native American

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. “It’s still very much an ongoing investigation,” Graham said, “Even with the arrests we’ve made, there’s still a lot to be done.” Both Graham and Superintendent Dr. John Kronour emphasized they do not believe these were threats of violence that were going to be acted out. “My opinion is it was no credible threat,” Graham said, adding “Are we reacting as if they were? Absolutely.” Kronour said his gut opinion was the writers were “three to five students who have done this as a way to get attention.” Many parents were still very shook up about the possibility of a threat. “This is a terrorist act in their home away from home,” Amy Liskey said. She is the parent of an L.T. Ball Intermediate and a Tippecanoe Middle School student. FBI Special Agent Tim Ferguson, who trained at Quantico, a major Marine Corps training and technology base, relayed a study underway right now at the base that evaluates how often actions follow threats such as the ones made in the notes this week. “In less than 1 percent (of these cases) is violent acts that follow,” Ferguson said. Kronour and Ferguson both acknowledged the overthe-top efforts of the Tipp City Police. “Thanks to the Tipp police for the time, effort and energy spent to keep our kids safe in

off

Tipp City,” Kronour said. Ferguson encouraged, “Be thankful for the police department that you have. They truly have your best interest and your kids at heart.” Don’t tell all you know Kronour informed parents that they were purposely kept in the dark on some information to help catch the perpetrators. “We didn’t tell you the security procedures in place because each and every day procedures changed a little bit,” Kronour said. “We don’t want perpetrators to know what to expect.” He said they’ve varied from day to day when backpacks are searched, where in the building kids enter, what times police patrols come by, and what the procedure or monitoring system is for the bathrooms. The actual content of the notes has not been shared, so when the culprit is and was caught, that piece of information can help determine the identity of the writer, Graham said. Kronour explained that One Call Now messages, although they went out every day, were specifically not sent out right after the bomb threats occurred. That would mean a lot of parents flooding the phones and dashing to come get their child. “Then we’re now bringing 500 sets of parents to where a bomb may go off,” Kronour said. There was also much discussion about how tight security should be in the future. “We could have all the students on lockdown and know where they are at all times, but that’s not the culture we have, nor is it the culture we want to have,” Kronour said, “We don’t want to live in fear.” Kronour informed the group that a police presence has been increased in the

school complexes for over a month now, with officers parking their cruisers in the lots and walking periodically through school halls during their downtime. There will be a full evacuation drill this spring, and other drills added throughout the year. Ferguson committed to coming out and training school staff to create a “threat assessment team.” The training was developed from another study at Quantico, completed in 2005, that combined the expertise of the FBI and Secret Service and looked at trends from past school threats. One parent suggested the training, or something similar, be made available to the students as well. Another suggestion from a parent, that Kronour acknowledged the district was looking into, was an anonymous tip phone line or email account for teenagers or children that don’t feel comfortable talking to their parents. Kronour also said counselors at the school are prepared and ready to talk to the students if they seek help. Parent Thomas Sawyer asserted that even if kids wanted to talk to their school administration, they were viewed as “tattletales.” He told a story of his daughter, who attends L.T. Ball Intermediate, who came home this fall with a bruise that she said was from a bully, and the administration’s seeming lack of attention to it. “I pretty much got the feeling ‘we didn’t believe her,’ and it didn’t go farther than that,” Sawyer said of the school’s reaction. Some parents also complained that the students weren’t told the truth or encouraged to talk about the note situations as they occurred. Principal Galen Gingerich

said for Broadway Elementary, no formal announcements were made to the students, but he did try to keep the parents informed. “We work hard at keeping things positive and creating a safe atmosphere for the students,” Gingerich said. “At this young age, we try to be respectful of how parents want to communicate certain situations to their children. Therefore, we chose not to make any announcements about recent happenings in our district to our students. Instead, I kept our parents informed of all the different situations as we were notified.” At the middle school, principal Greg Southers also felt the discussions should happen with the parents. “With the age of our students, we have some parents that really want their students to talk about it with their peers and teachers and some do not. They feel more comfortable having those conversations at home,” he said. “That is the reason we really encourage our students to speak to our counselor so we can honor the wishes of both sides.” Kronour, Ferguson and Graham all stressed the importance of parents talking to kids themselves. Not only for emotional purposes, but to find out what they know or saw. “Your kids are in the front lines,” Ferguson said. Graham suggested, if they have access, parents look at their kids’ Facebook and Twitter accounts to see who’s talking and what their kids know. “There’s almost always some leakage in these situations,” Ferguson noted, referring to someone hinting at the threat ahead of time. Whatever talks are held or security measures are put in place, Kronour made it clear that life at Tipp City Schools, while endeavoring to get back into routine, will never be the same. “We’ll probably never go back completely to the way it was — I don’t know how you could,” Kronour said. For those interested in helping, volunteers are needed to monitor bathrooms during the day and are encouraged to contact the appropriate school’s office.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you think President Obama did a good job or bad job in his State of the Union address?

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

in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

PERSPECTIVE

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

EDITORIAL The Kingston (N.Y.) Daily Freeman on presidential power and the use of drones to kill U.S. citizens overseas: The nomination of John Brennan has touched off a kind of frenzy of sudden urgency that is typical of the U.S. Congress. Brennan, who is President Barack Obama’s pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, has been the president’s top adviser on counterterrorism. Brennan, therefore, has been a central player in the targeting of alQaeda members for assassination, primarily by guided missile as launched by drones flying over foreign nations. Since several members of al-Qaeda were U.S. citizens, this means that Brennan played a role in the executive branch’s killing of them without arrest, trial and due process as it is commonly understood in civil society under the Constitution. Suddenly, therefore, the Congress is all atwitter over the constitutional implications of the president of the United States authorizing the killing of U.S. citizens. We appreciate the sentiment. But we think Congress is a little late to the game. This issue has been hiding in plain view for years. According to a legal memo drafted by the Justice Department, the administration contends that “an informed, high-level official” of the United States may kill any combatant who is deemed to pose “an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States” if capture is impracticable. … Who, but a fool, would give al-Qaeda the cover of and incentive for recruiting U.S. citizens, vested with some degree of judicial protection — delay or otherwise — from drone strikes, to form planning groups abroad for attacks against the United States? The critics of executive prosecution of targeted assassinations should present a single instance in recorded history when warfare has been successfully prosecuted from the judicial bench. Yes, this is an awful power. We would democratize it if we could, but we cannot and still secure our defense. This is why the Founders granted the execution of war to the executive alone. The Jerusalem Post on Obama’s upcoming visit to Israel: On several occasions during his first term — particularly at times when it seemed that relations between Jerusalem and Washington were strained — The Jerusalem Post called on U.S. President Barack Obama to visit Israel. Now the visit is apparently about to happen and we welcome the U.S. president with open arms. Obama’s visit, which will include a stop in Amman and a West Bank town… sends an important message to Israel. That the U.S. president would choose to make Jerusalem the first foreign visit of his second term reflect the importance Washington sees in Israel as an ally and, as U.S. Ambassador Dan Shapiro put it, demonstrates “the depth, breadth and quality of the Israeli-US partnership.” Such a visit would do much to fix the impression given during Obama’s last visit to the region in 2009, when the U.S. president failed to visit Israel and addressed his famous “A New Beginning” speech at Cairo University primarily to Muslims. The agenda during Obama’s upcoming visit include matters of utmost importance to both regional stability and Israel’s security. The most pressing issue is Iran’s unyielding march toward acquiring nuclear weapons. Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will undoubtedly devote a large portion of their meeting to a reevaluation of the impact that sanctions have had on Iran’s regime and updates on the progress of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, including discussion of military options. Though White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Obama would not be bringing a new peace plan with him to the region, there has been speculation that jump-starting negotiations with the Palestinians might be another reason for Obama’s visit, especially since Secretary of State John Kerry has expressed his desire to get the sides to sit down and talk. By taking the time to visit, Obama will be making an important statement about the strong ties that continue to exist between the U.S. and Israel.

DOONESBURY

My son is on the cutting edge of technology Nothing quite makes you feel old as when you start thinking back to the good ol' days. Although I didn't walk to school five miles wearing borrowed shoes with my sister on my back, I can tell I'm getting older by the minute with my son's experiences in school. While I'm thankful I was on the edge of technology when I graduated high school, the virtual world will be no stranger to my son and his generation. At least he'll remember the days of newspapers, paper money and gasoline pumps. The days have already begun fading for telephone booths, typewriters, encyclopedias and how to correctly make change. He may not even know how to use nonverbal communication unless it requires a QWERTY keyboard. We are going to have to teach our children how to wave “hello.” Mark my words. I can’t wait to tell my grandkids the first time I had experience “going online” in a junior high science classroom. Internet technology was so new that we had taught our teacher how to connect a modem (remember them?) and which programs were available to launch the

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist Internet. As I recall, this also happened to occur during the year when Haley’s Comet or some sort of comet was passing through our solar system. Coincidently, astronomy was the subject we were studying at the time. I can still pick out the dippers and Orion’s Belt and few others. This was also when all the boys in class studied the constellations to impress the girls. Anyhow, our teacher was so new to the Internet she honestly believed the colorful box in the corner with an animated comet (another coincidence since we were using Netscape) and a planet was real live footage of the solar system from NASA. I swear on my floppy disk. I didn't really notice how much

— Charles C. Smith, D.D.S. Tipp City

technology has infiltrated our little world until the other day when I asked my all-to-forgetful son if he remembered to bring his spelling book home. "Um, Mom? How did you know I had spelling homework?" he said with a skeptical glance as we drove home. I held myself back from my typical response by proclaiming omnipotent powers that all mothers possess. "I checked online on your teacher's website," I replied. For some reason, this startled my now 9 year-old. "Mom! Stop creeping on me while I'm at school! It's like you are following me around online!" Oh, I how I love this technology deal. While I'm secretly glad things like texting and camera phones were not around while I was in school, I know my son will soon be asking for his own phone and I'll be terrified to death. It's not as if I didn't get in trouble. I did. A lot. I got in just enough trouble that when I still happen to see my high school principal, my face turns beet red and I find myself trying to not look down at my size 12 shoes because I still feel really bad about that

frog incident 15 years ago. Don’t ask. But there are some great things that this technology brings to our little home. Lately we’ve been enjoying the iPad game “Stacking the States” and testing our U.S. geography knowledge. Little does Evan know that his very own mother can name every state capital in less than one minute. It’s one of those weird secret talents I have -- a useless and weird talent – but a talent nonetheless. I spent a lot of time in my room with a CD player and a worn copy of Rockapella’s “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.” While Evan and I still play board games like “Spot It” and “Sorry” and “Battleship,” the days of physical board games may also go by the wayside with phone books, the U.S. Postal Service (sorry Mom) and CDs. I better take a picture and enjoy the moment. And come to think of it, the only film Evan will know is the grime left behind on his iPad. Ah, progress! “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. She still uses AOL.

Levy • CONTINUED FROM 1 was defeated in November, the district has decided to try a smaller, shorter levy on the ballot in May. The new 4.93-mill, four-year emergency levy will generate $1,917,516 each year if it passes. For this levy campaign, which Kronour called the “most important,” the superintendent suggested forming committees in the usual areas like marketing, signs, and fundraising. But he also suggested forming a committee to register voters and get them to the polls and another to tackle rumors. Rumor control is important because, when it comes to levies, there are “a lot of misconceptions,” he explained. “We’re going in a very different direction,” Kronour said. The superintendent also suggested that those parents, teachers or residents interested in statistics and demographics help compile data that will make it easier to target voters. “We have to understand who our no voters are,” Kronour said. According to the superintendent, the number of no votes on the last levy was about the same as in previous years, but the number of yes votes was much smaller. Results from the August levy show that, of the 408 families with students at L.T. Ball, 162 of those families voted, 246 families did not, and 91 families had members who weren’t registered. At the middle school there are 518 families: 97 have nobody registered, 213 voted and 208 families did not. At Tippecanoe High, where there 878 families with students, only 297 families

voted out of the 741 families that have registered voters. There are 154 families that have no registered voters. The voter registration committee will be in charge of reaching out to those families. Kronour did not yet have voting information for the elementaries. Some other suggestions from parents included greater financial transparency, making and distributing graphs and charts that clearly illustrate where the money goes and what cuts have been made. Another parent suggested looking at other successful levy campaigns and their tactics. This new levy, if it passes, will generate about $1.9 million and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $175 a year. This number is determined by home valuation, not real estate value. If it fails, cuts will include several jobs (including a second grade teacher, high school guidance counselor and media specialist, custodian, six coaches), field trips, staff development, and busing. Pay to play will also increase by 50 percent. At the high school, activity fees will go from $100 to $150. While state funding for next year isn’t going down, according to state budget estimates, it isn’t going up either. And state funds make up about 42 percent of the district’s budget. “The state’s not going to solve our problem,” Kronour said. Last year, the state reduced the district’s funding by $1.3 million. More campaign meetings will be held in the next few months. To get involved in the campaign, contact Kronour at (937) 667-8444 or jpkronour@tippcity.k12.oh.us.

Authorities took both teens into custody Wednesday stemming from a series of five threatening notes discovered around the school, including several found in restrooms. The 15 year old was charged for leaving the first threatening note, which was found in a restroom, and it’s believed he was only responsible for the first note alone due to his school absence on Feb. 14 and 15. The 14 year old was taken into custody for allegedly scribbling a note, the fifth one found at the school, and leaving it on a cafeteria table earlier this week. He confessed to writing the note to authorities. School officials said expulsion proceedings for both students will be “forthcoming.” The second, third and fourth notes are still being investigated and Tipp City police continue to hold a visual presence at the school. Tipp City Police Sgt. Chris Burris said preliminary costs in police overtime alone showed nearly $2,000 spent as a result of the panic the notes created, and said a more finite list of expenses would be determined later this week. The cost, Burris added, is expected to rise and could include the cost of having bomb-sniffing dogs at the schools three times since the notes first started being discovered, in addition to other expenses the taxpayers and the city incurred. “It’s constantly rising,” he said of the associated costs. Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal

said there has not been any discussion regarding restitution being paid back for the public dollars used as a result of the panic the two students allegedly created. “But it’s certainly a possibility,” Nasal said. According to the Tipp City Police Department the two boys are acquainted with one another but it isn’t known if they were working in concert with one another. Meanwhile, a 13-year-old eighthgrader at Troy Junior High School also appeared in juvenile court Thursday afternoon after he was charged with felony inducing panic, also a seconddegree felony, for allegedly leaving a note at the school Wednesday that read, “Everyone going to die on 2/27/13.” He denied the charge at his arraignment. That threatening note was the seventh such note found at area schools in as many days. That student is expected to undergo a pretrial conference today and an adjudicatory hearing is scheduled for March 5. He remains detained at the juvenile detention facility. Administrators at Troy schools said they will talk to the teen and then determine school discipline at a later date. A sixth note found at Troy High School on Tuesday remains under investigation. That note stated, “Everyone in school will die 2/22/13.” No notes were known to be found at any school district in Miami County on Thursday. All three juveniles could face additional charges as the separate investigations continue.

Bentley rounds out 2013 C.C. lineup BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer jdavis@civitasmedia.com County Concert organizers needed one more piece to complete their 2013 puzzle, and Dierks Bentley fit the bill. Bentley was announced as the Friday night headliner earlier this week, rounding out a high-profile list of closers for the July 11-13 country music festival in Fort Loramie. “We are very excited to have Dierks Bentley as our Friday headliner,” said Country Concert representative Paul Barhorst. “Dierks’ high energy live show has made him a favorite with fans at Country Concert since we first had him in 2006.” Bentley’s live show and radio-friendly music has helped him build a solid fan base since his self-titled breakout album hit store shelves in 2003. Barhorst said fans have been asking for Bentley’s return to the C.C. stage since his last appearance four summers ago. “Since he last appeared in 2009, he has had three straight No. 1 songs — ‘Am I The Only One,’ ‘Home’ and ‘5-1-5-0’ — plus, his latest single ‘Tip It On Back’ is currently hot on the charts,” Barhorst said. “He joins Thursday’s headliner Jason Aldean, who is selling out stadiums in 2013, (plus) Saturday’s headliner and 28-time ACM/CMA award winner Brad Paisley and many more of country music’s hottest stars.”

Hard work starting to pay off for singer/songwriter Dustin Lynch STORY AND PHOTOS BY JIM DAVIS Staff Writer jdavis@civitasmedia.com

Dustin Lynch doesn’t need much outside motivation these days. But if he does, it shouldn’t be too hard to conjure up memories of past employment to keep him reaching for the top. The Tennessee native made ends meet by cutting grass and trimming weeds after moving to Nashville nearly a decade ago, and if that’s not enough, Lynch can tell you all about testing sewage for an environmental firm. Uh-huh. Sewage. He’ll take the music career, thank you. But those long hours spent at the aforementioned vocations help keep things in perspective for the 27-year-old singer/songwriter. “I moved to Nashville when I was 18 … and started on the yard crew cutting grass and pulling weeds,” said Lynch, who will join Justin Moore on his Outlaws Like Me Tour when it comes to Troy March 15. “Then I got out of the sun and went to an environmental lab and tested sewage.” “I was making music all along, but I needed those jobs to pay the bills,” he continued. “I wouldn’t take any of it away, but I definitely don’t want to go back to it. “That was the kick in the butt I needed.” If things keep going the way they have the past year or so, Lynch won’t have to worry about needing another kick. His self-titled debut album on Broken Bow records debuted late last summer at No. 1 on the Billboard country album charts, while the disc’s first single — “Cowboys and Angels” — soared all the way to No. 2. Lynch and country music newcomer Jon Pardi will help open for Moore at the 8 p.m. performance at Hobart Arena. Both Lynch — who opened for Josh Turner at his Nov. 16, 2012, show in Troy — and Moore will become the first country music artists to make a repeat appearance at the historic venue on Adams Street. “That’s a heck of a tip of the hat for Justin, and for me, too. It means we did something right,” he said. “The crowd was amazing (last time).

Forward The facility was great, and we had such a great show there.” Lynch, whose second single, “She Cranks My Tractor,” is in the Top 30 on the country chart, said fans can let their hair down and cut loose when Moore’s tour comes to town. “The Justin Moore crowd is going to be a little different than the Josh Turner crowd,” he said. “It’s going to be a lot louder with a bit of dancing and screaming. I love Justin Moore fans. He’s got a unique fan base … country people who love country music. “Jon and I are good friends. We go back a couple of years and have hung out quite a bit,” Lynch continued. “His show is a big-time party. He’s a California boy and has a lot of traditional influences. It’s going to be a fun night.” Additionally, Lynch said he’s honored to have been selected by Moore to be part of his first headlining tour — a 12-date string of shows that will take him from Kentucky and Ohio to Kansas and North Dakota. “This is a big deal for Justin and for me, and it’s nice to be a part of it,” he said. “It means they believe in you as an artist.” Since the debut of his album last August, Lynch said the world has been spinning at a much quicker pace, but he tries to acknowledge and absorb the good things happening with his career. “I try to soak it up and reflect on everything that has happened — and I appreciate everything that has happened, but everything moves so fast,” he said. “I still find myself looking back on last summer and going ‘Huh?’ Everything is going so fast and changing daily for us. It’s fun to look back on those times, but it’s also fun to look forward.” For the time being, he’ll be looking forward to March 15. Tickets can be obtained through the Hobart Arena website (www.hobartarena.com) or by calling the box office at 339-2911. And just for the record, he won’t have to cut the lawn or test any sewage while he’s in Troy. For more information about Dustin Lynch, visit his website at www.dustinlynchmusic.com.

• D.L. ON HIS MUSICAL INFLUENCES: “I’ve always listened to all types of music,” he said, rattling off a diverse list that includes Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, Joe Diffie — early 90’s stuff — plus rap and Top 40. “And I fell in love with Incubus, which is on the opposite end of the spectrum. I’m all over the map, and that kind of makes me who I am as a songwriter, because I’m able to draw from all of those influences.” • D.L. ON HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH CMT’S EMPOWERING EDUCATION INITIATIVE, WHICH HELPS PEOPLE EXPLORE OPTIONS FOR PURSUING POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES: “I got my degree in biology and chemistry (from Lipscomb University) and CMT got wind of that. It’s a program where you can go online, put in what time you have, if you have a day job … and what you’re interested in, and it gives you sort of a road map that says ‘Hey, this is possible.’ I’m happy to be a face and wave a flag for that program.”

• ON COWBOYS AND ANGELS: “It’s almost three years old, and I remember the day we wrote that song, I was walking out of the room and said ‘Hey, this song is special.’ It struck a chord with me, and from then on I knew the first album was going to be based around it,” he said. “I think everyone can relate to it. It’s a universal love story. Every guy wishes he was a cowboy, and every girl wishes she was an angel, and that’s why everybody digs it.”

Concert for all ages to feature diverse music TROY — Hayner Center’s Bring-theWhole-Family Concert will be hosted at 7:30 p.m. March 2. The event is in response to supporters’ suggestions that the Hayner offer an annual event that would uplift and engage parents and children as well as grandma and grandpa. Entertainment will be provided by Kim and Reggie Harris, who have traveled the country playing traditional African-American spiritual and freedom songs with original folk.

Ask your son to help reconcile with your daughter

Today: 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Spotlight 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: My daughter hasn't spoken to me in 20 years. "Linda" is 45 years old and has been married since around 1993. I wasn't invited to her wedding, so I am not sure. I think she received a master's degree, but I wasn't invited to her graduation, so I'm not sure of that, either. Linda's mother left me for her married lover when our daughter was 6. Instead of taking custody, I felt it best for her mother to raise her, which was a big mistake. My current wife enjoyed a good relationship with Linda. We visited her during her college years and gave her money to spend. But once she finished her degree, we never heard from her again. She didn't reply to our phone calls, letters or emails. Linda's brother informed me that she and her husband have four children we have never met. The oldest must be about 16 and the youngest about 3, but I do not know any of their birthdates. When I tried to find out why she stopped all contact, the only thing she said was, "Whatever the reason that you think it is." Linda was trained as a family counselor. What happened in her training that would lead her to refuse a relationship with her own father? The divorce wasn't my idea, so why am I left out in the cold? — Father Who Can't See His Child Dear Father: This has nothing to do with Linda's training. More likely, it is some grudge she has been holding onto for years. Since you are in contact with your son and he is in touch with his sister, ask him to act as your intermediary. Have him tell Linda that you are sorry for anything you may have done that has created this estrangement, and you want to know how to reconcile. We hope she is responsive. Dear Annie: I am only 11, but I want the truth and not the lies most people tell kids. I have had a best friend, "Janie," for about four years. I am an only child, and my parents are divorced, so Janie is everything to me. I recently started middle school, and now we only have one class together. Janie recently became friends with another girl. I don't think I can compete with this girl, because she is really pretty and wears designer clothes. Anyway, Janie and this girl always hang out together, and it makes me feel really left out. I can't lose her. She is like the sister I never had. Should I do something? If so, what? — Lost and Alone Dear Lost: Here's the truth, and you may not like it: In middle school, it is not unusual for kids to develop new interests and new friends. Some of them discard their old friends in the process. If Janie is so shallow that she chooses her friends based on their clothes, she's not much of a true friend, and we think you know that. It's OK to tell her you miss the friendship you once had and then see whether she is more attentive. But you are also changing and maturing. As much as you have relied on Janie in the past, it's time for you to hold your head up and make new friends who are steadfast and appreciate you as you are. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it. Dear Annie: Like "Too Well Endowed in Kansas," I have struggled for years with the same problem. I'm 72 years old, and my current doctor is the only one who suggested breast reduction as a way to help with my back, neck and other issues. I figured I was too old, but the doctor said I was a perfect candidate. I had surgery and am loving the results. — Newfound Freedom in New York Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

A celebration of carabiners: Readers share favorite uses Dear Readers: After running a hint about using a carabine and then a follow-up on what one is, many of you wrote with favorite uses. Here are just a few hints you shared: • Sally, via email, wrote, “My husband and I each have one attached to a water bottle, to clip onto belts or my purse when hiking or shopping.” • Sue in Arkansas wrote, “When traveling overseas, or when walking around anywhere in large crowds where pickpockets might prowl, I attach a carabiner to one of the metal rings on my purse and then also through the

Hints from Heloise Columnist hole in the zipper pull.” • Terry, via email, wrote: “I use them for key chains. They are easy to get the keys on and off of, and can be clipped to either a purse strap or belt loop for easy access.” • Cindy in California wrote, “Attach a dog leash to an ’eye hook’ provided outside

at a coffee shop, grocery store, etc.” • Karen in Arkansas wrote, “I use a carabiner on my purse and attach it to the shopping cart so it cannot be grabbed out quickly.” (Heloise here: This does work to secure your purse, but please be aware that a thief could reach inside and still grab your wallet!) • A Reader, via email, wrote: “I use a carabiner to attach my locker key to the strap of my bathing suit. Leave it on and never get locked out.” All of these are great hints! Keep them coming. — Heloise

PHOTOGRAPHY CHARGE Dear Heloise: Do you know why photographers charge so much for digital copies of images on CDs? — Heather, via email Heather, you aren’t really paying for the CD itself; you are paying for the right to use the photographer’s images that he or she took. It’s the photographer’s time and effort that you are purchasing. He or she usually “owns” the pictures taken, depending on the original agreement or contract. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel you need to be yourself today — to be who you really are. Romantic relationships will be emotional. It’s a fun day. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might want to cocoon at home today. Youthful memories could be bubbling to the surface of your mind, and you need time to cogitate. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) When talking to others today, you want to speak at a “gut” level of communication. You don’t want superficial chitchat. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might identify with your possessions more than usual, which is why you might not want to lend something. It’s a good day to clean and maintain your stuff. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you feel more emotional than usual. But you’re also inclined to attract some good luck. Yay! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel like hiding or withdrawing a bit today. It’s not that you’re antisocial, you just want some privacy. (We all have days like this.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel more protective about your friends today. Naturally, you’ll be supportive, but you also might feel jealous if they pay more attention to someone else. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your reputation and your career are important to you today. You want to be noticed, and you want to get respect. It’s a good day for all kinds of public relations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You have a strong urge today to break away from your daily routine. That’s because you want a little adventure, and you also want to learn something new. Don’t be afraid to shake it up a little. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances and shared property, because you feel rather possessive about things. You’re just not in the mood to share. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your focus today is on personal relationships and partnerships. Conflicts with others definitely will be more emotional. Guard against knee-jerk reactions to what others say. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You want to tidy up your life and even do something that will improve your health. It’s like a tiny impulse to turn over a new leaf, even if it lasts only a day. YOU BORN TODAY You are a downto-earth realist who has the respect of others. You do your homework before you speak. You often end up in a position of leadership even if you don’t seek it. You want a solid home, but you don’t indulge in extravagance. A major change might take place in the year ahead, perhaps something as significant as what occurred around 2004.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2013. There are 312 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony. On this date: • In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China. • In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a roundthe-world voyage by President

Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea. • In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House as he addressed the country over 42 stations. • In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House. • In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty. • In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, N.Y., as the United States Olympic hockey

team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) • Today’s Birthdays: Announcer Don Pardo is 95. Actor Paul Dooley is 85. Hollywood “ghost singer” Marni Nixon is 83. Movie director Jonathan Demme is 69. Actor John Ashton is 65. Basketball Hall of Famer Julius Erving is 63. Actor Kyle MacLachlan is 54. World Golf Hall of Famer Vijay Singh is 50. Actress-comedian Rachel Dratch is 47. Actress Jeri Ryan is 45. Actor Thomas Jane is 44. International Tennis Hall-of-Famer Michael Chang is 41. Actress Drew Barrymore is 38.

Al-Qaida tipsheet on avoiding drones found copy of the document, which was first published on a jihadist forum two years ago, was found by The Associated Press in a manila envelope on the floor of a building here occupied by al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb. The tipsheet reflects how al-Qaida’s chapter in North Africa anticipated a military intervention that would make use of drones, as the battleground in the war on terror worldwide is shifting from boots on the ground to unmanned planes in the air. The presence of the document in Mali, first authored by a Yemeni, also shows the coordination between al-Qaida chapters, which security experts have called a source of increasing concern. “This new document… shows we are no longer dealing with an isolated local problem, but with an enemy which is reaching across continents to share advice,” said Bruce Riedel, a 30-year veteran of the CIA, now the director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution. The tips in the document range from the broad (No. 7, hide from being directly or indirectly spotted, especially at night) to the specific (No. 18, forma-

tion of fake gatherings, for example by using dolls and statues placed outside false ditches to mislead the enemy.) The use of the mats appears to be a West African twist on No. 3, which advises camouflaging the tops of cars and the roofs of buildings, possibly by spreading reflective glass. While some of the tips are outdated or far-fetched, taken together, they suggest the Islamists in Mali are responding to the threat of drones with sound, common-sense advice that may help them to melt into the desert in between attacks, leaving barely a trace. “These are not dumb techniques. It shows that they are acting pretty astutely,” said Col. Cedric Leighton, a 26-yearveteran of the United States Air Force, who helped set up the Predator drone program, which later tracked Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. “What it does is, it buys them a little bit more time and in this conflict, time is key. And

they will use it to move away from an area, from a bombing raid, and do it very quickly.” The success of some of the tips will depend on the circumstances and the model of drones used, Leighton said. For example, from the air, where perceptions of depth become obfuscated, an imagery sensor would interpret a mat stretched over the top of a car as one lying on the ground, concealing the vehicle. New models of drones, such as the Harfung used by the French or the MQ-9 “Reaper,” sometimes have infrared sensors that can pick up the heat signature of a car whose engine has just been shut off. However, even an infrared sensor would have trouble detecting a car left under a mat tent overnight, so that its temperature is the same as on the surrounding ground, Leighton said. Unarmed drones are already being used by the French in Mali to collect intelligence on al-Qaida groups, and U.S. officials have said plans are under-

groups, including al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and he reviewed and authenticated the document found by the AP. The tipsheet is still little known, if at all, in English, though it has been republished at least three times in Arabic on other jihadist forums after drone strikes took out U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen in September 2011 and alQaida second-in-command Abu Yahya al-Libi in Pakistan in June 2012. It was most recently issued two weeks ago on another extremist website after plans for the possible U.S. drone base in Niger began surfacing, Guidere said. “This document supports the fact that they knew there are secret U.S. bases for drones, and were preparing themselves,” he said. “They were thinking about this issue for a long time.”

way to establish a new drone base in northwestern Africa. The U.S. recently signed a “status of forces agreement” with Niger, one of the nations bordering Mali, suggesting the drone base may be situated there and would be primarily used to gather intelligence to help the French. The author of the tipsheet found in Timbuktu is Abdallah bin Muhammad, the nom de guerre for a senior commander of alQaida in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemenbased branch of the terror network. The document was first published in Arabic on an extremist website on June 2, 2011, a month after bin Laden’s death, according to Mathieu Guidere, a professor at the University of Toulouse.

TIMBUKTU, Mali (AP) — One of the last things the bearded fighters did before leaving this city was to drive to the market where traders lay their carpets out in the sand. The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks. “It’s the first time someone has bought such a large amount,” said the mat seller, Leitny Cisse alDjoumat. “They didn’t explain why they wanted so many.” Military officials can tell why: The fighters are stretching the mats across the tops of their cars on poles to form natural carports, so that drones cannot detect them from the air. The instruction to camouflage cars is one of 22 tips on how to avoid drones, listed on a document left behind by the Islamic extremists as they fled northern Mali from a French military intervention last month.

Phillips likes lineup shake-up GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Second baseman Brandon Phillips is embracing the chance to bat lower in the Cincinnati Reds’ order. Phillips has been Cincinnati’s most versatile hitter, moving from spot to spot whenever there’s been an injury. He’s led off a lot because the Reds haven’t had a proven top-of-the-order hitter. He’s also hit in the second, third and cleanup spots. The Reds acquired ShinSoo Choo from Cleveland in an offseason trade, giving them someone to bat first. Now Phillips can move down a bit to a spot that fits him better. He says he likes batting third AP PHOTO best of all, but is willing to Cincinnati Reds second baseman move around if needed. Brandon Phillips throws during spring “The player that will benetraining Monday in Goodyear, Ariz. fit the most with Choo here is

Brandon Phillips,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “He has been all over the lineup and has been great about it, but we think his best spot in the order is second.” Phillips has gotten used to moving around in the batting order and doesn’t mind where he hits. He prefers the No. 3 spot. “If I could hit anywhere, I would like to hit third like I did in ‘07,” Phillips said. “I feel like I can do everything that I want to do. I feel like a total ballplayer. Also, you feel like you’re the man when you hit third.” Phillips batted third just 17 times in 2007, hitting .239 in that slot. He batted fourth in 81 games and hit .306. He prefers that to batting second. “When you bat second,

you’ve got to get the guys over, there are a lot of hit-and-runs,” Phillips said. “You don’t get to steal that often. You’re like the setup man in the lineup. “Whatever they want me to do to make the team better, I’ll do it. I just want to win.” Manager Dusty Baker and his teammates have praised Phillips for his willingness to move around in the batting order. Baker has referred to him as his most valuable player for his versatility in the batting order. Even though Phillips has moved around in the batting order, he has remained a productive hitter. “It’s good to see Dusty and my teammates really respect that,” Phillips said. “There are

Harvick, Kyle Busch win Daytona 500 duels DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — There are two certainties heading into the Daytona 500: Kevin Harvick is the favorite, and no one is sure what the action will look like in the “Great American Race.” Harvick remained perfect through Speedweeks on Thursday by winning the first of two 150-mile Budweiser Duel qualifying races, and the victory has positioned him as the top pick to win NASCAR’s version of the Super Bowl. Being labeled the favorite is the last thing the 2007 Daytona 500 winner wanted headed into Sunday’s seasonopener.

“We like to be the lameduck underdog. That’s what we’re shooting for,” Harvick said. Harvick is a perfect 2 for 2 at Daytona International Speedway. He also won an exhibition race last weekend. This strong start comes at a time when Harvick has found a balance in his life with the addition of son, Keelan, who was born last July, and as he heads into his final season with Richard Childress Racing. Harvick has already decided to move to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014. “We’ve been fortunate to win the first two races of Speedweeks. We’ve just got to

keep a level head on our shoulders, not get too high over what we’ve done, just do the same things that we’ve done,” he said. “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I think we definitely have the car and team to be in contention to do that.” But nobody is quite sure what the 500 will look like with NASCAR’s new Gen-6 race car. Sunday’s race will go off with a full 43-car field, double the amount of cars that ran in Thursday’s qualifying races. There were 19 cars in last Saturday’s exhibition. Kyle Busch, winner of the second duel, believes more cars on the track will create a

much different race than what fans have seen so far. All three races at Speedweeks to date have lacked much action as drivers continue to learn the new cars and how it reacts in traffic and different aerodynamic situations. “With more cars out there, we might see it be a little bit different come Sunday,” Busch said. “There were half the field in each race, obviously. There’s going to be twice as many good cars, twice as many middle of the pack cars, twice as many back of the pack cars. If you can get your car handling, driving, feeling good, you’ll be able to be one of the guys

that’s up front.” Is Busch, who was wrecked out of last week’s exhibition just 15 laps into the race, one of those guys? “I feel that’s where we’re at,” Busch said. “That’s an added bonus for us right now.” Busch gave Toyota its first victory of Speedweeks and snapped Chevrolet’s dominance. Harvick took the new Chevrolet SS to Victory Lane twice, and Danica Patrick put it on the Daytona 500 pole in time trials. Busch held off Kasey Kahne, in a Chevrolet, and learned the driver out front is in the strongest position. “It’s hard to pass the

leader,” said Busch. “Stay out front. When you get out front, you can hold everyone off.” But Kahne, who settled for second, said timing will be critical and nobody is sure just yet what move will be needed to win the Daytona 500. “I think it’s tough because you don’t know when you get that push. You don’t know when it plays into your time,” said Kahne, who never got close enough to Busch to take a solid shot at the win. “I think you need to be ready at any time to get to the front, to second, to third, try to move up. I don’t think waiting till the last lap is a ticket the way things are right now.”

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 10 round game with Catholic Central, coached by former Lehman star Hannah Scherger. A program that entered this season with exactly one tournament win — ever — picked up its second win of the postseason with a 48-38 victory after trailing 20-14 at halftime. They will play Tri-Village, a 107-13 winner over Emmanuel Christian Thursday, at 2:30 p.m. in what will be Newton’s firstever sectional final appearance in girls basketball. “That’s what the second half was about — making history,” Trista Lavy, who had a game-high 17 points, said. “We wanted to make history and we did. Definitely, it (the sectional finals) was a goal at the start of the season.” And after Newton had earned its way back into the game with pressure defense and efficient offense — the Indians got the break they needed with 5:24 remaining when Irish star Paige Lewis went to the bench with her fifth foul. CC was leading 36-32 at the time, but Newton would score the next 14 points and outscore the Irish 16-2 the rest of the way. “We knew if we could get Lewis out of the game, that was going to be a key,” Newton coach Neal Hans said. “We knew they were going to have trouble scoring after that.” Trista Lavy started the run, hitting two free throws and stealing the ball and finding Madison Mollette for layup to tie game. Rutledge added five points on her fourth and fifth stickback of the half — and Newton would pull away for a history-making win. “Sometimes, Megan (Rutledge) just needs to get a fire lit under her,” Hans said. “She can get fired up out there.” The first half, Trista Lavy was the only spark the Indians could find against Catholic Central’s 2-3 defense as she scored 12 of Newton’s 14 points. “We always talk about being aggressive and attacking the basket,” Hans said. “But Trista (Lavy) is the only one who has played enough basketball to do that. A lot of times the other girls just end up standing and passing the ball around.” But even Trista Lavy knew she couldn’t do it by

herself if the Indians were going to get a historic win. “Definitely,” she said. “That (her scoring all the points) wasn’t going to work for an entire game.” Rutledge got her first points early in the second half. That seemed to give her a different energy level and the entire team seemed to feed off the pressure defense which was giving the Irish fits and leading to points in transition. “I didn’t show them that defense much in the first half,” Hans said. “Maybe once or twice — because I didn’t want them to be able to adjust. The problem in the first half is the (Kellie) O’Connor girl is their second best scorer after (Paige) Lewis and we were giving her good looks. She is a good shot and you can’t do that.” A basket by Mollette tied the game at 26 late in the third quarter. But the Irish seemed to have righted the ship, opening a 31-26 lead. But when Lewis picked up her fourth foul in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter and went to the bench for good with 5:24 remaining everything changed. “We knew they were going to struggle against our full-court pressure with her out,” Hans said. “And that’s what happened.” Rutledge and Mollette combined for 19 second half points, with Rutledge netting 11 and Mollette adding eight. Madison Tebics and Trelissa Lavy added six each. “You know, Trelissa is probably our best athlete,” Hans said. “She just needs to figure out how to harness that on the basketball floor.” O’Connor led the Irish with 12 and Lewis scored 11. Now, the Lady Indians face a daunting challenge against state-ranked Tri-Village. But at this point, there’s no reason to stop trying to make some more history.

■ CONTINUED FROM 10 blasted Butler 83-33 in the early game. But the Trojans (12-11) still accomplished what they set out to do at the beginning of the season. “They won the battle, but we feel like we won the war,” Troy coach Nathan Kopp said. “We won the league (Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) for the third straight year, and we did what we had to do throughout the season to do that. “Three in a row is pretty special for these seniors. The last time they didn’t win the league was when they were freshmen. That’s a great way for this senior class to go out.” And fighting was the way they went out. Kristen Wood — who has been the Trojans’ starting point guard since she was a freshman – led Troy with 14 points and five assists, while defensive specialist Todda Norris powered her way to a double-double in her final game with 13 points, 13 rebounds and five steals. “It’ll be different next year seeing someone that isn’t Kristen bringing the ball up the floor,” Kopp said. “Teams didn’t press us just because of her. They just didn’t. They couldn’t. And Todda with 13 rebounds, that’s a great way for her to go out, too.” The difference? Sidney simply couldn’t miss in the first quarter. A 3 by Monique Hanayik put the Jackets up 9-4 early, but the Trojans cut it to 9-8 after a couple of drives by Norris and Wood. Sidney rebuilt a 15-11 lead before Hanayik hit another 3 and Harris pulled up for a buzzer-beating bomb to make it 21-11 after one. Troy got back into the game, though, thanks to 10 first-half points from both Wood and Norris, and Sidney only hit one from long range in the second quarter to hold a 31-2 lead at the half. “Honestly, that was probably our best offen-

I don’t know what they were from the field in the first half, but it was really impressive.” But Harris had 12 of her game-high 16 in the first half, and Hanayik had all 11 of her points before the break, leaving Sidney looking for offense against the scrappy Trojans. “I thought Courtney (Mazzulla) did an unbelievable job defensively on Harris over those last three quarters,” Kopp said. “They’re bigger than us and really athletic.” A 3 by Mazzulla (six points) got Troy to within one again at 33-32 early in the third, but Lauren Elmore (six points, seven rebounds) answered with a quick jumper on the other end to give the Jackets some breathing room. After Sidney had pulled ahead by three, though, Wood hit a jumper at the buzzer to make it 38-35 going into the fourth, and then senior Morgan Taylor (five points) drove for a tough

layup to start the fourth and get the Trojans to within 38-37 – the fourth time they were that close. “Morgan, she’s been the glue that held us together all year,” Kopp said of Taylor. “I think we were 11-6 after she came back from her injury at the beginning of the year. Kristen and Todda may get the highlights, but Morgan is as important as any kid we have.” Harris hit a jumper on an in-bounds play, though, and Sidney held a nearlyconstant three-point lead until the final minute. And while the Jackets missed on the front end of two one-and-ones, Troy couldn’t cash in with a game-tying 3, coming up empty on three attempts. “I thought we had two or three good looks at 3s when we were down three late, and we just didn’t hit shots,” Kopp said. “We missed a couple of free throws down the stretch, too, but so did they. They were just able to capitalize when they had to.” After a missed 3 by Troy, Elmore grabbed the rebound and was fouled with 12.1 seconds left – and this time she hit both

to make it a five-point game and seal the win. And with four departing seniors – Mackenzie Schulz was on crutches and did not play in the game – the Trojans will have to look for younger players to step up next season if they want to four-peat. “I told these girls that there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them, and that’s true,” Kopp said. “These girls have ran through a wall for me for the last four years, and I’d do the same for any of them. “If we want three (GWOC North titles) to be four next year, we’ve got a long way to go.” Sidney – 45 Kaitlyn Davis 0-0-0, Konner Harris 6-2-16, Monique Hanayik 4-1-11, Lauren Elmore 2-2-6, Aaliyah Wise 2-0-4, Sylvia Hudson 3-1-7.

Napier, UConn edge UC in OT HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Shabazz Napier scored 11 of his 27 points in overtime as Connecticut beat Cincinnati 73-66 on Thursday night. DeAndre Daniels added 17 points and tied a career high with four blocked shots for the Huskies (18-7, 8-5 Big East). Sean Kilpatrick had 13 of his 18 points after halftime and JaQuon Parker added 14 for Cincinnati (198, 7-7), which lost for the fourth time in five games. The teams were tied a 55 before Napier hit two 3pointers as part of a 6-2 UConn run to open overtime. A layup by Kilpatrick made it 63-60, before Napier buried his third with a minute left. Jermaine Sanders layup

cut the lead to four with 43 seconds left and the Bearcats began to foul. UConn made seven of eight free throws down the stretch. Boatright and Daniels each hit a pair and Calhoun made one of two, before Napier sealed it with a pair. Titus Rubles and Justin Jackson each fouled out in overtime for Cincinnati. A 10-2 run, sparked by a 3-pointer by Kilpatrick, had given the Bearcats a 53-47 lead with just over 4 minutes to play in regulation. But the Huskies scored the next six. A free throw by Napier tied the game at 53 with 1:30 left. Rubles hit a put-back to give the Bearcats back the lead, and Napier tied it again on an off-balance driving layup with 40 seconds left.

Wright turned the ball over in the back court setting up the final shot, but Napier missed a contested layup, sending the game into overtime tied at 55. UConn was 10-of-19 from 3-point range and had six 3-pointers in the first half, as it built a 37-34 halftime lead. Cincinnati, meanwhile found its success inside, with 34 points in the paint. The Bearcats outrebounded UConn 44-28 and had 17 offensive boards. UConn had given up 20 offensive rebounds in each of the last two games, leading to a combined 36 second-chance points. The Bearcats had 17 on Thursday. A Rubles foul shot cut UConn’s lead to 43-41 with 17:23 left in the game and it

stayed that score for the next 7 minutes, until a Rubles banked in a long 2point jump shot to tie it. UConn missed seven straight shots and was held without a field goal for almost 9 minutes before a Tyler Olander dunk gave them a 45-43 lead. The Huskies had just three baskets in the first 13 minutes of the second half. The Bearcats had hit five of their first eight shots in the game and held Boatright and Napier scoreless over the first 5 minutes. But Napier got the pair going by hitting consecutive 3-pointers to give UConn its first lead at 13-11. He and Boatright combined for 18 first-half points, after scoring just six in the Huskies loss to Villanova on Saturday.

Top seeds McIlroy, Woods ousted at Match Play MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — The snow is gone from the Match Play Championship, and so are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. In a stunning conclusion to what already is a bizarre week on Dove Mountain, Shane Lowry of Ireland made a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole to eliminate Rory McIlroy in the opening round Thursday of golf ’s most unpredictable tournament. “It’s definitely a day I’m going to remember,” said Lowry, the third player in the last four years to beat the No. 1 seed in the opening round. Moments later, Charles Howell III finished off a fabulous round in cold con-

ditions by defeating Woods on the 17th hole. Howell, who had not faced Woods in match play since losing to him in the third round of the 1996 U.S. Amateur, played bogey-free on a course that still had patches of snow and ice after being cleared Thursday morning. The match was all square when Howell hit a wedge that stopped inches from the cup on the 15th hole for a conceded birdie. Then, he holed a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th and went 2 up when Woods badly missed a 12-foot birdie putt. “I had nothing to lose,” said Howell, who started the year outside the top

100 in the world and hasn’t qualified for this World Golf Championship in five years. “In this format, match play is crazy. He’s Tiger Woods. I was lucky to hang in there.” The final matches were played in near darkness, and they could have stopped after 15 holes. Woods wanted to play on, even though Howell had the momentum. Woods was 2 under for the day, and neither of them made a bogey. “We both played well,” Woods said. “He made a couple of more birdies than I did. He played well, and he’s advancing.” McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, built a 2-up

lead early in the match until Lowry rallied and grabbed the moment by chipping in for birdie on the par-3 12th and then ripping a fairway metal to within a few feet for a conceded eagle on the 13th. Lowry missed a short par putt on the 14th, only for McIlroy to give away the next hole with a tee shot into the desert and a bunker shot that flew over the 15th green and into a cactus. But the two-time major champion hung tough, coming up with a clutch birdie on the 16th to stay in the game. McIlroy nearly holed his bunker on the 18th, and Lowry followed with a steady shot out to 4 feet

and calmly sank the putt. “Deep down, I knew I could beat him,” Lowry said. “There’s a reason I’m here, and this is match play.” For McIlroy, more questions are sure to follow him to Florida for his road to the Masters. He now has played only 54 holes in the first two months of the season, missing the cut in Abu Dhabi and losing in the first round at Dove Mountain. “You want to try and get as far as you can, but I guess that’s match play,” McIlroy said. “I probably would have lost by more if I had played someone else in the field. It wasn’t a great quality match. But it

would have been nice to get through and just get another day here and another competitive round under my belt.” Just like that, the Match Play Championship lost its two biggest stars in one day. The only other time the top two seeds lost in the opening round was in 2002, when Woods and Phil Mickelson lost at La Costa. Luke Donald nearly made it the top three seeds except for a clutch performance. He holed a 10foot birdie putt to halve the 17th hole and stay tied with Marcel Siem of Germany. Donald then birdied the 18th from 7 feet to win the match.

Stars on the mend Jeter 1 of many stars returning from injuries By the Associated Press

■ Major League Baseball

Derek Jeter crumpled to the dirt, his season suddenly over and his future uncertain. New York’s pennant hopes faded quickly after the star shortstop broke his ankle last October, and the offseason wasn’t much easier for the Yankees, with Jeter and his team forced into a tense recovery process that still isn’t over. “Our big thing is not to have any setbacks now,” manager Joe Girardi said recently. “Let’s not push this too fast. Let’s get to where he’s supposed to be when he’s supposed to be there, and not hurry. But, it’s really nice to see him on the field.” For Jeter and the Yankees, the April 1 season opener against Boston is looking more like a deadline than a day of anticipation. Jeter insists he’ll be in the lineup that afternoon, but teammate Alex Rodriguez has no chance. Then there’s closer Mariano Rivera, who is recovering from a major injury of his own after hurting his knee last May. And the Yankees are just one club with the injury bug. All around baseball, division races may be decided not by offseason moves or midsummer surprises but by how well teams can keep their top players on the field. “I think you get to the point where you can’t count on what happens with an injury, that a lot of times, it goes on a lot longer than you think,” said Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke, whose first baseman, Corey Hart, is coming off right knee surgery. “I think you just kind of move on. You expect things not to go as you would like them to.” Trying to handicap the NL West race between the World Series champion Giants and the new-look Dodgers? A lot depends on

South Africa police replace top investigator PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — South African police appointed a new chief investigator Thursday in the Oscar Pistorius murder case, replacing a veteran detective after unsettling revelations that the officer was charged with seven counts of attempted murder. The sensational twist in the state’s troubled investigation fueled growing public fascination with the case against the double-amputee Olympian, who is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius, a sporting icon and source of inspiration to millions until the shooting last week, is backed by a high-powered team of lawyers and publicists. The abruptness of his fall, and its gruesome circumstances, have gripped a global audience and put South Africa’s police and judicial system under the spotlight. The man at the center of the storm sat in the dock during his bail hearing, mostly keeping his composure in contrast to slumped-over outbursts of weeping on previous days in court. In front of Pistorius, defense lawyer Barry Roux pounced on

■ CONTINUED FROM 10 not too many guys who can do what I do.” Phillips finds it difficult to set individual goals, but he is quick to identify team goals. The Reds have won the NL Central in two of the last three seasons, but failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs. “I want to get to the next round of the playoffs,” he said. “I want to start there. Of course the goal every year is to win the ring, but I feel like you’ve got to take steps. “As for myself, it’s kind of hard because every time I set a goal, I have to change somewhere in the batting order. It’s kind of hard to reach those goals. Like one year I was trying to get 100 RBIs when I hit fourth,

the apparent disarray in the state’s case, laying out arguments that amounted to a test run for the full trial yet to come. Roux pointed to what he called the “poor quality” of the state’s investigation and raised the matter of intent, saying Pistorius and Steenkamp had a “loving relationship” and the athlete had no motive to plan her killing. Pistorius, 26, says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder when he shot her through a locked bathroom door in his home. Prosecutors believe the shooting happened after the couple got into an argument, and prosecutor Gerrie Nel painted a picture of a man he said was “willing and ready to fire and kill.” Much of the drama Thursday, however, happened outside the courtroom as South African police scrambled to get their investigation on track. In a news conference at a training academy, National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega said a senior detective would gather a team of “highly skilled and experienced” officers to investigate the killing of 29-year-old Steenkamp, a model and budding reality TV contestant.

then I had to bat leadoff. Then I wanted to score 100 runs and they put me back to fourth. “There are so many things that it’s hard to set goals for myself.” Phillips is getting ready to represent the United States in the World Baseball Classic, something he’s called a dream come true. The Reds have blocked starter Johnny Cueto from pitching for the Dominican Republic. Cueto won 19 games last season but strained a muscle in his right side during the playoffs, forcing the Reds to drop him from the roster. Because he ended the season hurt, the Reds had the option of preventing him from pitching in the WBC.

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter reacts after injuring himself in the 12th inning of Game 1 of the American League championship series against the Detroit Tigers on Oct. 14, 2012 in New York. how healthy Carl Crawford is, and whether he can rediscover the form that made him one of the game’s top left fielders. Think Detroit is a lock to win the AL Central? What if Victor Martinez can’t rebound from his knee injury, and the Tigers go the whole season without a productive designated hitter? What about all the changes in Toronto? The Blue Jays could be much improved assuming Jose Bautista is fully recovered from wrist surgery. “All the exercises and rehab and stuff like that have come and gone, and I’ve been working my butt off to make sure I was ready to go when the season started,” Bautista said. “Worked out pretty hard at the gym, too, and now it’s time to get on the field.” Any discussion of injury worries should begin with the Yankees, who lost Jeter to a broken left ankle in the AL championship series opener against Detroit. The Yankees went on to lose to the Tigers in four straight games, and Jeter endured what he described as a “terrible” offseason.

He’s been able to take part in spring training workouts, but his first exhibition game is probably a couple weeks away. “I’ve already said to myself, ‘I’m good.’ But there’s steps along the way,” Jeter said. “Run the bases, go first to third, simulate stealing bases. Those are all things that you do anyway. I have to progress through that.” The Yankees won 95 games last year despite losing Rivera to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He’s expected to be ready by opening day. Ace left-hander CC Sabathia also is on the mend. Sabathia is coming off arthroscopic surgery in October to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. Meanwhile, Rodriguez isn’t even at spring training. His rehabilitation from hip surgery is taking place primarily in New York, and the third baseman is expected to be sidelined until at least the AllStar break. The Yankees hope to be as close to full strength as possible in a wide open American League. Detroit won the pennant last year,

even though Martinez missed the whole season because of a left knee injury. The Tigers are glad to have the upbeat Martinez back in the clubhouse, and true to form, he found a bright side to his lost season. “This year was weird, but at the end I’m going to tell you: It was the best year of my life,” Martinez said. “I got the time that I never had before to spend with my family, my kids. I was able to go to bed and wake up with them every single day. I don’t think anything’s going to beat that.” Still, watching the Tigers play on without him was difficult. In that respect, Martinez can relate a bit to what Baltimore’s Brian Roberts went through. Roberts has been with the Orioles his whole big league career, but when the team finally made the playoffs in 2012, he’d had season-ending hip surgery in August. After another operation for a sports hernia in December, it uncertain whether the second baseman’s body can hold up.

Sandusky tells court he plans to appeal HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky’s attorneys have notified his trial judge that he wants a state appeals court to overturn his convictions for molesting boys. Attorneys for the former Penn State assistant football coach filed a pair of appeal notices Thursday that indicate Sandusky wants the state Superior Court to take up his convictions on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. The notices were filed in the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, the site of his three-week trial last summer. Also Thursday, Penn State outlined in a new

court filing why it thinks a defamation and whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former football assistant coach who reported Sandusky in 2001 lacks merit and should be dismissed. The university filed a 33-page document that fleshed out its response to Mike McQueary’s civil suit over how he was treated after reporting that he saw the former defensive coordinator showering with a boy. In the Sandusky criminal case, the new defense filing comes a month after the trial judge rejected their post-sentencing motions, including an argu-

ment that his attorneys lacked sufficient time to prepare for trial. Judge John Cleland also rejected motions regarding jury instructions, hearsay testimony and a comment by the prosecution during closing arguments that referred to the fact that Sandusky, who did not testify at trial, gave media interviews after he was arrested in November 2011. In the appeals notices, Sandusky’s defense attorneys did not elaborate on the issues he plans to raise on appeal. But lead appellate counsel Norris Gelman said he would make many of the same arguments that

Cleland rejected in January. “The publicity has been bad,” Gelman said Thursday. “All we can do is hope that it will not affect or infect the judges of the Superior Court.” He said the likely next step will be for Cleland to order Sandusky’s lawyers to file a document that lists their intended claims. After that, Cleland would write an opinion about the case and certify the trial record to Superior Court. Gelman would then get two or three months to file a brief to the appeals court. The attorney general’s office had no immediate comment on the notices.

CAUTION

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