Legislation receives first reading Sludge lagoon, water master plan discussed BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com With city council one short of the required six members, all legislation introduced at the March 4 meeting will require at least a second reading. Normally, council can suspend the rules and pass legislation upon the first reading if enough members are present and vote yes. The first piece of legislation
involved the routine cleaning of the Lime Sludge Lagoon, one of two in the city, at a cost of $120,000. The utilities committee was supportive of the plan at a Feb. 26 meeting. Another resolution pertained to updating the water master plan under the engineering firm Black & Veatch, at a cost budgeted at $155,000 for 2013. Troy Water Plant Superintendent Tim Ray said at the previous committee meeting
TROY that a modeling of the water distribution and supply system has not been performed in about 10 years. Also receiving its first reading was a resolution for the Enterprise Zone Agreements, which include two for F&P America and one each for American Honda Motor Co., Ishmael Precision Tool Corp., Clopay Building Products, Inc. and
ConAgra Foods Packaged Foods, LLC. Council also heard legislation for accepting the final plat of Edgewater Section Seven. Other legislation related to opposing the passage of House Bill 5, which involves changes to municipal income tax collection that is expected to cost the city of Troy $750,000 to $1.25 million in reduced revenue, according to estimates from Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington. In the audience comments portion of council, Daryl Lafountain of
Walnut Ridge Drive sought the city’s help in retrieving five years’ worth of city of Troy taxes erroneously taken out instead of school district taxes, tracing back to 2008. Due to a statute of limitations, Lafountain said he was informed he could receive only three years’ worth, meaning he was missing out on thousands of dollars that would be vital for raising his six children with his wife, on one income. Titterington referred him to city of Troy Fiscal Manager Catherine Armocida for help in addressing the matter.

Harrah to be released Served four months of year sentence
Chavez dies at age 58 President Hugo Chavez was a fighter. The former paratroop commander and fiery populist waged continual battle for his socialist ideals and outsmarted his rivals time and again, defeating a coup attempt, winning re-election three times and using his country’s vast oil wealth to his political advantage. A self-described “subversive,” Chavez fashioned himself after the 19th Century independence leader Simon Bolivar and renamed his country the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. See Page 2.

Jarrod Harrah, 40, is expected to be released from the Madison Correctional Institution no later than today after serving one-third of his yearlong sentence after he was convicted of felony crimes related to misusing and stealing publicly-owned property while he served at the county’s maintenance director. Harrah, previously of Troy and who has been serving out his sentence at the Madison Correctional Institution since Nov. 5, appeared via a video teleconference in the courtroom of Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein, who approved the early release. Harrah’s attorney, Andrew Pratt, said his client learned his lesson and needed to be released so he “can begin a period of rehabilitation.” “It has had the intended effect of punishing him,” Pratt said. “Any lesson Jarrod could be taught … has certainly been learned now.” Harrah also asked the judge for an early release, saying the “punishment has been extreme.” “It’s been worse than anything I expected,” Harrah said during the video conference. Special Prosecutor Andrew Wilson, who said Harrah used Miami County financial accounts like “his own personal ATM,” opposed the early release noting that while a release from prison worked in Harrah’s favor, it was not what was best for the community.

Inlet Dance, a modern dance company, performs several dances including “Wonderous Beasts” for children at Overfield and Heywood Elementary Schools Monday at Heywood.
Sharing the stage Cleveland dance group visits Heywood Elementary School BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Two local schools shared the stage and double the applause as hosts to Cleveland’s Inlet Dance Theatre for a community concert Monday. Overfield Early Childhood Program hosts three artists in residence each school year and had the opportunity to share the Inlet Dance Theatre with its neighbors at Heywood Elementary. Inlet Dance Theatre’s
choreographer and artistic director Bill Wade explained to the children how the stage is blank canvas and the dancers are like brush strokes to tell a story. “I’m like the painter since I’m a choreographer,” Wade explained to the gym full of children. “I use the space of the stage and the movement is the paint.” Each of the four dancers on the stage used fluid movements and flexibility to create a variety of imagery including a piece called “Wondrous Beasts.”
Performers of Inlet Dance present a modern dance for students of Overfield and Heywood Elementary Schools Monday inside the gymnasium at Heywood. Wade explained how the costumes, created by Wade’s wife, help portray the imagery of scales on a fish or feathers on a bird and every animal in between. Wade said the idea came from combining animals to make-up new animals. “What if we just mixed it all up? We do that with our bodies,” Wade said. “Sometimes we pretend we are animals and sometimes
we make up a dance about a person or people.” Wade explained how each dancer and the choreographer must work and share together to tell the story the best they can. “We all collaborate and we do all these things together as a team,” Wade said. The four dancers performed a variety of pieces

bricks at an earlier meeting and it was bid as an alternate to the project. The cost to excavate, haul, and dump the bricks is about $6,285. Because of the cost and the unknown condition of the bricks, council decided to move ahead with the excavation, see what the bricks look like, and decide then whether or not to continue. Additionally, if the city includes the Fourth Street traffic signal in the project, it would cost another $150,000 in supplemental appropriations from the electric fund. The study on the signal will be complete in a few weeks and council will hear the results and make a decision in April. Dow Street will be one-way during the construction on Main Street, council has decided. Letters were sent out to the 27 residents who live on Dow Street between the railroad and First Street on Feb. 27. The city received seven responses, four in favor, one “no,” and two non-committal responses.
Making Dow Street one-way will provide more parking spaces downtown during construction. City staff is having a meeting with businesses and the contractor on March 14 to review the construction timeline. Fire/EMS construction approved Council also approved a contract with Brumbaugh Construction for the Fire and EMS Station renovation project at a cost of $1,557,000 and solved the problem of where to locate the emergency crews during construction. While the Fire and EMS station is under construction, the city’s emergency responders will be housed in a mobile office unit in the station parking lot. The trailer will cost less than $10,000 total during the 9-10 months of construction and will allow the EMTs to stay in the same place. The city has looked into various other options including renting space on the west side of the city (at an estimated cost of $20,000), and housing them at the Community Services building or the Government Center.

The station renovation is set to begin April 1. Council also heard the first reading of an ordinance that would give the city more options for disposing surplus property. The city’s code currently says that any surplus property with a value of $1,000 or more must be disposed of by public sale, auction or trade-in. This ordinance would amend the code to allow surplus property to be disposed of by “sale, donation or agreement to another political subdivision without the requirement of competitive bidding.” The reason for this change was a request from the Village of Covington to buy the city’s surplus dump truck directly. It would also allow the city to consider another request from the Oneida Volunteer Fire Department of Clay County, Ky., and the Fellowship of Christian Firefighters Intl. Michael Whitby, a Tipp City EMT and Regional Director of the Fellowship of Christian Firefighters, who has asked the city to consider donating their surplus 1982 fire pumper to the Oneida Volunteer
Fire Department. The Oneida fire department services one of the poorest communities in the United States and has two fire engines, one of which is 40 years old and in bad shape. “They could use it, there’s no doubt in my mind,” Kessler said. The Oneida fire department receives most of its $8,000 annual income through fundraisers, fire dues from each household, and state funds. With the recent purchase of a 2,000 gallon per minute fire pump, Tipp City’s surplus fire pumper, which was purchased in 1982 and is in good condition, was taken out of service. It is estimated to have a value of $2,000-$7,000. The city has five other trucks with pumps, including the new ladder truck. Councilman Bryan Budding said that he didn’t like the idea of giving away a truck that the Tipp City taxpayers had bought, but that he wouldn’t have any problem with it if that’s what council chose to do. The other members of council were in favor of donating the truck.
Harrah • CONTINUED FROM 1 “There is an important utility for the public to know that a (prison) sentence is a sentence,” Wilson said, noting that reducing the sentence would be failing the public. Hein said the state legislature deters first-time, non-violent offenders from serving prison time or full prison terms, and he made similar remarks when he sentenced Harrah in November. “I don’t like the rule,
but I have to follow it,” the judge said. Once released Harrah must report to Miami County and will then begin 36 months of community control sanctions, along with other supervision requirements, 60 hours of community service and paying a $7,500 fine. Harrah, a former Troy City Council member and president of the Miami County Republican Men’s Club, accepted a plea agreement in the case in
September and pleaded guilty to the third-degree felonies of theft in office, tampering with records and tampering with evidence. In November, he was given a combined prison sentence of one year in prison. The plea agreement also stipulated that Harrah pay restitution in the amount of $1,240 for scrap metal he sold and kept in a slush fund. Meanwhile more than $18,600 worth of items
that belonged to Miami County has since been recovered from his Troy residence, which has since been foreclosed upon. Harrah committed the crimes between March 1, 2010, through June 1, 2012, while he served as the county’s maintenance director, which he began in November 2005 and was paid $44,379 annually. After allegations of theft were made the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office began an investigation that later resulted in
several resignations in the maintenance department and similar charges coming against other maintenance employees. That investigation resulted in detectives seizing truckloads of equipment from Harrah’s home, including lawn mowers, weed eaters, power tools, hand tools, composite saws, custom-made windows, a hot water heater, and a wide variety of assorted tools and lawn care equipment, among other items.

has regained all the losses suffered during the Great Recession and reached a new high. The blue-chip index rose 125.95 points Tuesday and closed at 14,253.77, topping the previous record of 14,164.53 on Oct. 9, 2007, by 89.24 points. “It signals that things are getting back to normal,” says Nicolas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a brokerage. “ The new record suggests that investors who did not panic and sell their stocks in the 2008-2009
financial crisis have fully recovered. Those who have reinvested dividends or added to their holdings have done even better. Since bottoming at 6,547.05 on March 9, 2009, the Dow has risen 7,706.72 points or 118 percent. The Dow record does not include the impact of inflation. Adjusted for that, the Dow would have to reach 15,502 to match its old record, according to JPMorgan Chase. The Standard and Poor’s 500, a broader index, closed at 1,539.79, 25.36 points from its record. The last time the Dow hit a record, George W. Bush still had another year as president, Apple had just sold its first iPhone, and Lehman Brothers was still in business. But unemployment was also 4.7 percent versus 7.9 percent today, a reminder that stock gains have proved no elixir for the economy. Still, the Dow high is another sign that the nation is slowly healing after the worst recession since the 1930s. It comes as car sales are at a fiveyear high, home prices are rising, and U.S. companies continue to report big profits.

Snow storm barrels through Midwest CHICAGO (AP) — A late winter storm packing up to 10 inches of snow sent officials in weather-hardened Chicago into action Tuesday to prevent a repeat of scenes from two years ago, when hundreds of people in cars and buses were stranded on the city’s marquee thoroughfare during a massive blizzard. The storm was part of a system that started in Montana, hit the Dakotas and Minnesota on Monday and then barreled through Wisconsin and Illinois on its way to Washington, D.C., where it was expected late Tuesday night. As the storm pushed toward the MidAtlantic region, people there were gathering supplies and airlines were canceling flights. Since the 2011 blizzard that dumped 20 inches on Chicago, the nation’s thirdlargest city has had it pretty easy snow-wise, with a relatively mild winter last year and a slow start this year. The storm that was moving through the Midwest on Tuesday dumped 6 inches at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport by 4 p.m. Preparations for Tuesday’s storm, including warnings to commuters that it was coming, may have paid off. Illinois Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Claffey said in an email that traffic was lighter than normal on Chicago expressways Tuesday afternoon, an indication that many people took public transportation instead of cars. Claffey also said there were no reports of any major traffic accidents. Still, some in Chicago were caught off guard by the last gasp from Old Man Winter. Many left their downtown jobs early, with some saying they had to go home to take care of children after school programs were canceled or baby sitters couldn’t make it. “I thought it was just media hype,” said Stacia

A tow truck operator prepares to haul away a car involved in an accident on Interstate 94 in Fargo, N.D. on Monday. Kopplin, who was fleeing her financial services job shortly after noon to catch a train home to the suburbs. Schools were closed in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, where officials urged caution on slick roads. In western Wisconsin, a semi-trailer slid off a snowcovered interstate near Menomonie and into the Red Cedar River, killing one person. The search for a second person, believed to be a passenger, was suspended overnight. Airlines canceled more than 1,100 flights at Chicago airports, prompting delays and closures at others. Airlines along the storm’s projected path were already cutting flights too, including about 450 today, most of them at Dulles and Reagan National airports in the Washington area, according to FlightAware.com. Daniel Baker,
CEO of the flight-tracking service, said he expected the numbers to rise. In Chicago, officials worked to keep Lake Shore Drive safe. The February 2011 blizzard embarrassed the city when hundreds of cars and buses were entombed in snow on the roadway that runs along Lake Michigan. Many people were trapped overnight. City government took steps to prevent a repeat. Officials opened a removable barrier in the roadway’s median to allow emergency vehicles quicker access to trouble spots. Plows and salt-spreading trucks were in easier striking distance of Lake Shore Drive, and they started treating the roadway hours before snow began falling. Elsewhere, some were taking the snow in stride. “It’s not that bad at all,”
said 47-year-old Alicia Aldrete, who was out walking her dog in Madison, Wis. “Just make sure you shovel immediately, put lots of salt on the ground and also store lots of food in case of emergency.” Dave Koch, manager at Paul’s Tavern in Dubuque, Iowa, said business was surprisingly busy Tuesday afternoon as people came in to escape the snow. At least 5 inches of snow had fallen. “In general, everyone’s attitude is pretty tired,” Koch said. “I think people are tired of the snow and the gloomy weather.” A.J. Krizman, an 87year-old retiree from South Bend, Ind., said he hoped it was the last snow of the season. “It’s almost time to start planting a garden,” Krizman said. “So I hope we’re through with this.” In St. Paul, Minn., where
7 inches of snow had fallen, 55-year-old Mario Showers was shoveling sidewalks around a downtown church. “With Minnesota, ain’t no telling when the snow’s gonna come, you know,” said Showers. “The way I think about it is that, you’ve got four seasons, and every season brings about a change, you know. So, you’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet, that’s all. So this is the bitter right now.” As the storm moved through the Midwest, people in the Mid-Atlantic region were getting ready. “Well, I have an inclination to think that it’s not going to be as bad as they say it is, but it probably will be. So, it’s better to be prepared, just in case,” said 33year-old Ann Oulobo, who was stocking up on medicine and other necessities in Baltimore County, Md., after shopping for groceries
earlier in the day. At the Food Lion in Staunton, Va., shelves that were stocked ahead of the storm were being cleared by customers. “Bread, milk, eggs and beer, all the necessities,” manager Everett Castle said. Washington, D.C., could get 3 to 7 inches of snow, while the mountains of western Maryland could see 16 inches by Wednesday night. Minor tidal flooding was possible along the Delaware coast, the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and the lower Potomac River, the National Weather Service said. As miserable as things could get for commuters, taxi driver Balwinder Singh of Herndon, Va., said he was looking forward to the storm. “People tip better in the snow,” he said. As the heavy, wet snow fell in Chicago, residents were working their shovels and snow-blowers. Pat Reidy said she skipped work and did 40 minutes of yoga as a warmup for the heavy lifting she was doing in her neighborhood near Wrigley Field. “I’m trying to avoid a heart attack,” the 52-yearold finance worker said. Mike Morawski, 53, was helping clear the sidewalk in front an older neighbor’s home. “We don’t want her digging out,” he said. “She’s a tender, little woman, a piano teacher. She doesn’t need to be shoveling.” Chicago’s love-thyneighbor ethos has its limits, though. With the winter blast, Morawski expected the return of an old city tradition in which residents clear a parking space and keep it reserved with a lawn chair. “They’ll all come out tonight, believe me, when people start digging out,” he said.
Zimmerman defense declines separate April hearing immunity hearing under the state’s controversial self-defense law, though the issue could be folded into the trial this summer. Defense attorney Mark O’Mara told Judge Debra
Nelson she could free up the final two weeks in April that she had set aside for George Zimmerman’s immunity hearing, even though the attorney hasn’t made a final decision on whether to request such a hearing. O’Mara has previously said he hoped to wrap the issue into Zimmerman’s second-degree murder trial scheduled for June 10. He said that could still possibly
happen and the judge has said she is open to it. “I haven’t made that decision yet,” O’Mara said. The real focus is going to be on getting ready for a jury trial. As you know, I’ve been counting. We’re only at 96 days right now. So that only that only gives us time to really get ready for one hearing. And that’s going to be a jury trial where he gets acquitted. So that’s my plan.”
A judge would have sole discretion in an immunity hearing to decide if Zimmerman is exempt from culpability in the shooting. A jury would make the determination in the murder trial. Lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda declined comment on any specifics of the case, but did say he was “bewildered” about whether or not the defense intended to have a “stand your

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The New York Times on mortgage relief: A year ago, when the nation’s biggest banks settled with state and federal officials over claims of foreclosure abuses, the public was led to believe that the deal would allow millions of hard-pressed borrowers to escape the threat of foreclosure. It still hasn’t happened. A third progress report was issued recently by the monitor of the settlement, which, among its terms, required the banks to grant $25 billion worth of mortgage relief, much of it by reducing the principal balances on troubled loans. The report showed that through the end of 2012, 71,000 borrowers had their primary mortgages modified, versus 170,000 who received help on their second mortgages, including home equity loans. Both types of assistance can help struggling borrowers — to a point. But as Jessica Silver-Greenberg reported in The Times, housing advocates say that in many cases, banks are not helping with troubled primary mortgages, which often leaves the homeowners facing foreclosure. Instead, the banks are forgiving the second mortgages, which allows them to say that they have met their obligations under the settlement. In other words, banks are structuring the debt relief in ways designed to tidy up their balance sheets, rather than to keep as many people from losing their homes as possible. Banks often do not own the primary mortgages; they only service them for investors who own them. But they do often hold second liens on their books. In general, the holder of a second lien gets nothing when a home is worth less than the mortgage balance or is sold in foreclosure. But by forgiving the second liens, the bank at least gets credit for “helping” the borrower. In the report, the settlement monitor, Joseph Smith, said the banks still had much work to do on the borrowers’ behalf. We’ll believe it when we see it. The Times-Picayune, New Orleans, on BP’s civil trial: BP’s general counsel said recently that he’s confident that the company will escape the harshest level of civil penalties for the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s not surprising that he would argue against the notion that the oil giant was grossly negligent for the spill, which poured 4.1 million barrels of oil into the Gulf. The company hopes to keep its liability from being quadrupled under the Clean Water Act, which is what a finding of gross negligence would trigger. The difference is huge: $4.5 billion for simple negligence or more than $17 billion for gross negligence. …. It is important to remember what led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster and the company’s spotty track record on safety. None of BP’s PR efforts can change that. The federal government’s most conclusive report on the Deepwater Horizon explosion… found that BP’s failure to assess the risks of its Macondo well and the company’s drive to cut corners at the expense of safety were the main causes. Significantly, the Joint Investigation Team of the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement and the Coast Guard was the only non-criminal probe of the disaster with subpoena power. That allowed investigators to question, under oath, a large number of witnesses… and to have access to extensive records from the companies involved. Members of the joint investigative team clearly believed that BP personnel sacrificed safety in order to save time and money at the company’s Macondo well. The group’s September 2011 report noted that at the time of the blowout, the project to drill Macondo was behind schedule and $58 million over budget. The document included a chart keying on seven critical decisions in the design of the well and the drilling process — all made by BP managers. … The bottom line is simple: BP should pay the highest penalties possible to undo the grievous damage it has done.

DOONESBURY
I’m gambling on having a good time this weekend My next couple weekends are going to be defined by new experiences: first trip to the casino and first bachelorette party. Let the games begin. Next Saturday, my college friend/former co-worker is having her 24th birthday at Horseshoe Casino in Cincinnati, which just opened Monday. Frankly I know nothing about gambling except that sometimes it involves throwing coins that kind of look like flattened checkers or Connect 4 pieces. Dice are a part of the equation as well. Sometimes you also pull down on this fancy machine with a lever. Am I right? Anyway, it just seems like the thing to do for a bunch of twentysomethings, especially on a monumental birthday like the third anniversary of your gal pal’s 21st. Hooray. Did I mention one of my editors is coincidentally going to the same casino on the same night? This should be interesting (evil laugh). I guess I should probably put my journalistic skills to good use and research the basics of this whole gambling business BEFORE I embark to

Provided I still have gas money to drive to Toledo (kidding), the following weekend I’ll be going to the bachelorette party of my college roommate — the occasion I’ve been awaiting since she got engaged a few months after graduation. She’s the first of four friends I have getting married in the next year — and I am more than excited to live vicariously. The thing is, I have absolutely no idea what goes into planning all these wedding festivities, like said bachelorette party brouhaha. No idea. The tentative itinerary, the

hotel arrangements, the driving plans that nobody wants to volunteer for… I’m even more clueless as to how to be an etiquette-abiding guest. Last week I found myself googling “average price to spend on wedding gifts” before I hit up the Macys.com registry. After trolling through all the items, I began to wonder if I was supposed to buy coordinating items, or if one thing would do. The stuff all seemed so pretty and cozy and Martha Stewart-ish that I wanted to
drop everything into the digital shopping cart. For myself. I resisted. Then there’s the issue of differentiating between bachelorette, bridal and wedding presents. Not to mention, do you send the shower gift to the bride-to-be’s home, even if you’re attending and can bring it yourself? If you have it sent to your own house, what kind of wrapping paper do you buy that doesn’t look too cheesy and lovey-dovey? Do you stick on one of those cutesy name tags and include the bride’s AND the groom’s names? Hmm… Maybe this confusion is only natural when your parents (read: your mom) organized all prior wedding gifts and RSVPing and all that jazz. Regardless, I have a feeling experience may be the best teacher when it comes to gambling at casinos and celebrating a bride-to-be’s last few days of singledom. I’m expecting some major droopy eyes (and an empty wallet) after both. Natalie Knoth appears on Wednesdays in the Troy Daily News

Celebrity ‘fractivists’ True advocates or NIMBYs? NEW YORK (AP) — The scene: a Manhattan arthouse theater. The cause: a campaign against the gas drilling process known as fracking that’s being led by more than 100 celebrities, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Robert Redford, Mark Ruffalo and Mario Batali. Outside, demonstrators in hazmat suits circle the theater. Inside, actress Scarlett Johansson attends a benefit screening of “Gasland,” the documentary film that has become the movement’s manifesto. Johansson tells The Associated Press that her “Avengers” co-star Ruffalo introduced her to the cause, and that she found the film “incredibly shocking.” The campaign has galvanized hundreds of thousands of followers, but as with many activist causes, the facts can get drowned out by the glitz. Now, some experts are asking whether the celebrities are enlightened advocates or NIMBYs crying “Not in my backyard!” even as their privilives remain leged entwined, however ruefully, with fossil fuels. Much of the anti-fracking activism is centered in New York City, where concerts, movies and plays use huge amounts of energy, gourmet chefs including Batali cook with gas, and most people the glitterati included heat with gas. There’s no doubt that critics of hydraulic fracturing a practice colloquially known as fracking that involves injecting water, sand and chemicals into underground rock to free vast reserves of gas have some legitimate concerns. There have been documented cases of leaking gas ruining nearby well water, of air pollution and of problems from the waste the drilling generates. Experts say those are important parts of the story but far from the whole story. “With proper regulation and enforcement, gas provides a very substantial health benefit in reducing air pollution,” compared with coal-fired power plants, said Daniel Schrag, director of Harvard University’s Center for the Environment. That is a theme not ade-
quately covered in the debate over fracking, agreed Michael Greenstone, an environmental economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a former top adviser to the Obama administration. Greenstone is studying the local health effects of fracking, but he said it’s not scientifically accurate to ignore “the tremendous health gains” from the coalto-gas shift. “Honestly,” he said, “the environmentalists need to hear it.” The main celebrity antifracking campaign took off last summer when Ono and Lennon, her son, founded Artists Against Fracking. Their family farm sits near gas reserves in New York, and they fear fracking might be allowed in the area. Some celebrities also speak out independently, or through other groups. Among the claims: Ono, at a news conference: “Fracking kills. And it doesn’t just kill us, it kills the land, nature and eventually the whole world.” Robert Redford, in a radio ad: “Fracking is a bad deal for local communities. It’s been linked to drinking water contamination all across the country. It threatens the clean air we breathe.” Alec Baldwin, in an editorial in the Huffington Post, described a scenario in which companies promise people “some economic benefit, deliver a pittance in actual compensation, desecrate their environment and then split and leave them the bill.” Josh Fox, the director of “Gasland,” to the AP: “We have the capability of running everything in this country including our fleet of 240 million cars off of electricity from wind and from solar and from hydropower.” Fox said that society should be changing over “to renewable energy and doing it vigorously and quickly. And we could be doing that in New York.” While such claims may contain a kernel of truth, they are at best subjective and at worst misleading or even hypocritical, some environmentalists say. “In truth, celebrities are rich, and they use far more

energy and resources than anyone else. There’s this grass-roots NIMBY revolt against fracking,” said Michael Shellenberger, who heads the Breakthrough
Institute, a nonpartisan Oakland-based environmental think tank that is releasing a report this month on the environmental benefits of natural gas.

Jacob Wilson Parrott, First Medal of Honor Winner Paying with Confederate money, 18-year-old Ohio soldier Jacob Wilson Parrott calmly bought a train ticket in Marietta, Georgia, one April morning in 1862. The Civil War, the great American war between the North and the South, the Rebels and the Union, was a year old. Looking around, Parrott saw and recognized 19 Northern comrades. Led by James J. Andrews, a full-time spy for the Union, these Union soldiers would become known as Andrews Raiders. They had volunteered for a risky raid behind enemy lines. The mission? Capture a Rebel train and destroy bridges and train track between Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia. Parrott and his fellow Andrews Raiders hijacked the train in Big Shanty, Tennessee, when the crew got off for breakfast. The train was pulled by the Western & Atlantic Railroad engine known as The General. The Yanks quickly unhitched cars from the train, leaving them to block the tracks, and took off in The General. The Rebel crew came running when the train’s alarm bell began to clang, and the chase was on. A few miles later, the Raiders stopped to cut telegraph wires and load crossties onto the train. These would be used to burn bridges after they were crossed. Further on, at Kingston, the Raiders had to wait 65 minutes on a sidetrack while three freight trains passed them. Behind them, the Rebels had been stalled by the same freight trains, but they managed to find a mail train and go around the detour. After 90 miles, The General’s fuel was gone, and the Union soldiers were stopped and captured. Seven Raiders including Andrews were hanged. Others were put in prison. Parrott was captured, whipped and imprisoned, but he managed to escape. He served in the Union Army for the rest of the war. Parrott and the remaining Andrews’ Raiders were called to Washington, D.C., on March 25, 1863, by Secretary of War William Stanton. After praising the men for their bravery, he presented them with a new medal, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Parrott was the first of the six to receive it, thus becoming the nation’s very first recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. He returned to Kenton, Ohio, became a cabinetmaker and married Sarah Lawrence. Their son, John Marion, married Edith Gertrude Brown, daughter of Raider Wilson W. Brown. Parrott died in Kenton on December 22, 1908.

Words to Know: risky crosstie imprisoned sidetrack telegraph mission recipient For Discussion: 1. Andrews Raiders did not complete their assignment as planned. What was wrong with the plan? Could the outcome have been different? How? 2. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings. What synonyms do you notice in this story? 3. Parrott’s Congressional Medal of Honor is now on display in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Why is it appropriate for his medal to be displayed there? 4. Where could you go to research the names and heroics of other Congressional Medal of Honor winners?

You may be fighting an uphill battle
Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Community Calendar 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Legislative Update
Dear Annie: My boyfriend's parents are truly wonderful people, but they have taught their son to rely solely on them. He is in his 50s, and they still pay his bills and give him loans, often for "toys" rather than something necessary. I am self-sufficient. I borrow money from no one, pay my bills and am on a limited budget. I knew my boyfriend was rather self-centered before we moved in together. We discuss nothing about our household, but he talks to his parents about our finances. When they tell him to do something, he complies, even if I am against it. This is causing problems in our relationship. I am afraid my only option is to leave. I love him, but I feel I could never measure up to his parents, and they will keep him a little boy forever. Our relationship needs to move to the next level, but it is impossible with them hanging on for dear life. — Frustrated Dear Frustrated: A man in his 50s who still expects his parents to pay his bills and buy him toys is not a responsible adult, and we cannot promise he ever will be. Unless you can convince him or his parents that their indulgence is not in his best interests, you will be fighting an uphill battle. Sorry. Dear Annie: I am a recovering meth addict. I've been clean for more than five years. However, during my druggie days, I was pregnant five times. I miscarried all of the babies due to my addiction. I am very ashamed of my past. Every day, I live with the guilt of what I did to my innocent unborn children. In the past five years, God has blessed me with two wonderful sons, whom I love more than anything. But how do I deal with the guilt? I have tried talking to friends and family, but I'm judged a lot. It's eating away at me. — W. Dear W.: Please speak to someone who can be impartial about your past and help you deal with your guilt in a way that allows you to forgive yourself. Your doctor can refer you to a counselor, or you could contact any graduate school counseling department, medical school psychology department, United Way, the YMCA, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org) and the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems at lowselfhelpsystems.org. Dear Annie: "K" complained about a neighbor child she fears is "a ticking time bomb." My son fits nearly every category of her profile. He has difficulty in public and prefers to be by himself. He shows a great interest in guns and has few friends, and we had to move him to a different school because "he didn't fit in." This does not make him a potential risk. My son struggles every day with epilepsy, along with the side effects of several medications. Children his age can be brutal to those who are different. He withdraws to protect himself. We moved him to a different school because his old one would not provide the resources he needs. Now he can maintain a decent grade point with teachers he respects and likes. His interest in guns is no different from that of other 15-year-old boys in our area, and more importantly, our son has no access to guns. He has a healthy respect for their power. I admit that impulse control is not his strong point, but we work with him to learn what is appropriate. If you get to know him, you will find a nice kid with a good sense of humor, a passion for history and genuine empathy. He doesn't like to see others being mistreated, because he knows how it feels. Thank you, Annie, for saying, "We also hope you can be his friend." That's what my son wants more than anything in the world: someone to accept him for who he is. — A Father Who Knows Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
For pumpkin roll, which one is right — soda or powder? Dear Heloise: My mom has two different recipes for pumpkin roll. One of the recipes calls for 1 teaspoon baking soda, and the other calls for 1 teaspoon baking powder. What is the difference? — Julie P., via email There definitely is a big, big difference! Both are used in baking to help dough rise or expand, but they do it differently and cannot be substituted for each other. Baking soda is made of pure, 100 percent sodium bicarbonate. When mixed with an acid (for example, cream of tartar) and some moisture, it causes a reaction that makes little bubbles, which helps the dough get puffy and light.
Hints from Heloise Columnist Baking powder is baking soda with one or more acidic ingredients included. Just by adding a liquid, the reaction occurs. It usually is added to a recipe where there is no acidic ingredient. Hope this helps, and happy baking! — Heloise NO-MESS BURRITO Dear Heloise: I’m writing to
share a hint for serving messy burritos to children. I hate food items like these (my kids are 6 and 2 years old). Inevitably, the “inside” of the burrito always ends up on their plates after the first bite or two. One night, I even held the bottom of my daughter’s burrito closed for her while she was eating. What a pain. Since then, I’ve discovered a solution: chip clips! When I served burritos, I used a clean chip clip to clamp the bottom of the burrito shut, preventing the insides from falling out. It worked like a charm and definitely will be a trick I use again in the future. — Allison W. in Milwaukee
WARM CUP Dear Heloise: A reader wrote about how to pre-warm a coffee cup to keep the coffee hotter (Heloise here: The reader poured hot coffee into a cold cup, then back into the coffeepot before refilling the cup with coffee to drink). Another hint is to put your empty cup in the microwave for 20-25 seconds before pouring coffee, tea or soup into it. So easy and effective. — Lotte in Arkansas We tested this at Heloise Central, and indeed, it warms the cup. Just be sure the cup is microwave-safe. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE
SNUFFY SMITH
BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, March 7, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel a bit out-of-control today. Information about your private life is out in public for everyone to see, especially bosses, parents and authority figures. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day to make travel plans or important decisions regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Just fill your data bank. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you’re focused on shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt, mortgages and insurance matters, don’t sign important papers today. Wait until tomorrow afternoon. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is unpredictable. You might feel like others expect too much of you. If you please yourself, at least you’ll please more than half of everyone else. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect delays, silly mistakes and inefficiency at work today. Lost paperwork and misunderstandings about budgets and equipment support are likely. Just grin and bear it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a creative day for you, because you find it easy to think outside-of-thebox. It’s also a classic day to just goof off. Enjoy playful activities with children. Take it easy. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to cocoon at home. You feel the urge to relax and hide with a good book, junk food and your favorite game or TV program. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today is full of false starts. You might even leave the house several times before you remember everything. Do not trust communication with others, because misunderstandings are rife. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to make major expenditures. In fact, it’s a poor day to shop for anything other than food. Pull in your reins. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a goofy day, plain and simple. The Moon is in your sign today; however, it is free-floating, like a helium balloon that is sailing loose in the sky. Just go with the flow. Avoid important decisions and expenditures. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You want to hide somewhere today. It’s not that you don’t feel social; it’s more that you feel the need to take a breather. (Just take time for yourself.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a great day to schmooze with others in a casual, easygoing way. In particular, you’ll enjoy the company of females. But avoid promises and commitments. YOU BORN TODAY You are conceptual. You have a highly creative mind and seek ways to give it concrete formation. Others are aware that you live in your imagination, even when your ideas turn out to be very practical. Because of this impulse, you’re very private. In your year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable. Your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Peter Sarsgaard, actor; Wanda Sykes, comedian/actress; Maurice Ravel, composer.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, March 6, the 65th day of 2013. There are 300 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 6, 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect. (The holiday was supposed to last four days, but was extended until it was gradually lifted starting March 13.) On this date: • In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege. • In 1853, Verdi’s opera “La
Traviata” premiered in Venice, Italy. • In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced by the National Biscuit Co. • In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II. • In 1973, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, 80, died in Danby, Vt. • Ten years ago: A somber President George W. Bush readied the nation for war against Saddam Hussein, hurling some of his harshest invectives yet at the Iraqi leader during a prime-time news conference. The United States ratified a treaty on
cutting active U.S. and Russian longrange nuclear warheads by two-thirds. • Today’s Birthdays: Former FBI and CIA director William Webster is 89. Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is 87. Singer Mary Wilson (The Supremes) is 69. Rock musician Hugh Grundy (The Zombies) is 68. Rock singermusician David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) is 67. Actress Anna Maria Horsford is 66. Actor-director Rob Reiner is 66. Singer Kiki Dee is 66. Actor Tom Arnold is 54. Actor D.L. Hughley is 49. Actress Connie Britton is 46. Actress Moira Kelly is 45. NBA player Shaquille O’Neal is 41.
Ohio, landowners, debate flood compensation status COLUMBUS (AP) — The state and a group of landowners sparred Monday over whether Ohio is meeting a deadline to compensate the landowners for losses from flooding near Ohio’s largest inland lake. At issue is how fast the Department of Natural Resources is responding to a year-old court order to compensate 87 landowners near Grand Lake St. Marys, a 20-square-mile lake between Dayton and Toledo. The Ohio Supreme Court said three months ago the landowners had shown “clear and convincing evidence” that the

state was in contempt of the court’s December 2011 decision ordering compensation. The court’s Dec. 5 order gave the state three months to complete the remaining appraisals on properties, a deadline that comes this week. The state has completed all the appraisals, for a total of 45, Natural Resources spokeswoman Bethany McCorkle said Monday. She also said the state will meet an April deadline for filing lawsuits to take the owners’ property, a necessary step that triggers the action needed for the
state to compensate the landowners. An attorney for the landowners took a different position, saying the state still hadn’t completed the appraisal work. The state has been slowly submitting the appraisals but would be in contempt of court if the work wasn’t done by Tuesday, said Columbus attorney Joe Miller. Landowners say a horseshoe-shaped dam the state built in 1997 has led to significant floods almost every year since. Lawyers for the landowners almost
all of them farmers alleged the state has been dragging its feet since the court’s 2011 compensation order, with only eight settlements filed and six of those in the week before the December 2012 contempt of court hearing. The state withdrew a settlement offer of $24 million, or about $5,000 per acre, when presented with a counteroffer of about $27 million, with the extra $3 million including business owners and homeowners without farms. The cost of the settlement will go up the longer appraisals take because land values in the area are rising.

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 branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Eagles, Redskins district game postponed BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Troy Christian’s boys basketball team, having just won its first sectional championship on Friday, was more than excited to take the next step and play for a district title on Tuesday. Just one problem … The Division IV district championship game between Troy Christian and Fort Loramie — originally scheduled for Tuesday night at UD Arena — was postponed early Tuesday morning due to the threat of
TROY inclement weather. Instead, the game will be played at 7 p.m. tonight at Fairmont High School’s Trent Arena. Coach Ray Zawadzki couldn’t help but see the bright side. “I’ve never experienced anything like this as a coach, so it’s taken a little adjustment,” he said. “But it did give us an extra day to prepare. I feel like the kids will be more prepared to defend against Fort Loramie as a result.” Even so, the adrenaline and
excitement of getting the chance to play in the district game — and then having to wait just a bit longer — could theoretically have a negative impact on either team’s energy levels. Zawadzki hopes his Eagles got all of that out of their system on Tuesday. “The first 15 minutes or so of practice was an adjustment period, but after that the kids got back into the flow of what we’ve been working on,” Zawadzki said. “The kids will be ready to play. They’ve been ready to play since Day 1 every single time the bell has rung.”

The location change could also be a blessing in disguise, too. “It was a little disappointing. UD is traditionally where the champions have played for the district title. Playing on that floor is the sign you’ve made it,” Zawadzki said. “But it’s still a district final, even with the location change. The game is still played between black lines, just like at Troy Christian or Fort Loramie or anywhere else.” The winner of the game moves on to next week’s regional tournament — also played at Trent Arena.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft scored nine of Ohio State’s points in a decisive 11-2 run, leading the 14th-ranked Buckeyes past No. 2 Indiana 6758 on Tuesday night. Thomas finished with 18 points and Craft added 15 as the Buckeyes (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten) won their fourth straight.
Indiana had big plans for Senior Night. After clinching a share of its conference league title in 11 years with losses by Michigan State and Wisconsin on Sunday, the Hoosiers (25-5, 13-4) were trying to claim their first outright Big Ten crown since 1993. They will have another chance Sunday at No. 7 Michigan.
Cody Zeller scored 17 points and Christian Watford added 12 but the Hoosiers weren’t themselves. Ohio State retook the lead midway through the second half when Indiana went more than 5 minutes without a basket, took control with the late run and never allowed the Hoosiers to get closer than six points.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Albert Pujols hit a pair of groundouts and struck out in his first spring training appearance of the year for the Los Angeles Angels, a 6-4 win Tuesday over the Cincinnati Reds. The three-time MVP, recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee, hit a broken-bat grounder to third in the first against Mike Leake, struck out swinging in the fourth versus Aroldis Chapman and grounded to shortstop in the sixth against Wilkin De La Rosa. About 10 days ahead of the schedule the Angels had anticipated, Pujols was the designated hitter and batted third. The Los Angeles lineup included its projected starting outfield for the first time: Mike Trout in left, Peter Bourjos in center and Josh Hamilton in right field. They combined to go 4 for 8. Jay Bruce hit a pair of solo homers for the Reds, off Tommy Hanson in the second and Scott Downs in the fourth. Hanson made his first spring training start for the Angels and allowed one run and three hits in two innings. Leake, making his second appearance, gave up four hits in three scoreless innings. Chapman allowed a home run to Howie Kendrick. Indians 4, Giants 3 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Nick Swisher hit one of three Cleveland home runs, Daisuke Matuzaka pitched three scoreless innings and the Cleveland Indians beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3 Tuesday. Brandon Crawford hit a tworun homer for the Giants, who lost their second straight. Brandon Belt also hit a homered. Swisher hit his second home run of the spring and is now hitting .500. Matuzaka allowed five hits and struck out two. Madison Bumgarner gave up a run on three hits in his two innings for the Giants. He walked one and struck out three Roberto Perez hit a home run in the top of the ninth to give Cleveland a 4-3 lead. Juan Diaz also homered for the Indians.

No. 3 Duke hammers down Hokies, 85-57 Seth Curry scored 20 points in his final home game and No. 3 Duke pulled away to beat Virginia Tech 85-57 on Tuesday night. Fellow senior Ryan Kelly added 18 points in his second straight strong performance since coming back from an injury for the Blue Devils (26-4, 13-4 Atlantic Coast Conference). See Page 18.
NEW YORK (AP) — Big East football schools will get almost all of a $110 million pot in a deal that will allow seven departing basketball schools to keep the name Big East and start playing in their own conference next season, a person familiar with the negotiations says. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the separation agreement has not yet been finalized. That is likely to happen by the end of the week. The football schools will receive approximately $100 million under the agreement, most of which will go to holdover members Connecticut, South Florida
and Cincinnati. The basketball schools will receive $10 million, the Big East name and the right to play their conference tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Big East’s stash of cash has built up in recent years through a combination of exit fees, entry fees and money the league’s members earned in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Since 2011, the Big East has lost 16 schools that were either members or dropped out before playing a game. That figure includes the seven Catholic basketball schools. The so-called Catholic 7, which is expected to add at least
two more members before it begins competition in the 201314 school year, is made up of Georgetown, St. John’s, Villanova, Seton Hall, Providence, Marquette and DePaul. The new Big East has a television deal from Fox waiting for it, though it still needs to hire a commissioner and set up a league office. Joining South Florida, Connecticut, Cincinnati and Temple, which rejoined the Big East last year for football, in the to-be-named-later conference in 2013 will be Memphis, Central Florida, SMU and Houston. East Carolina and Tulane are set to join in 2014 and Navy is sched-
uled to join for football in 2015. Commissioner Mike Aresco has said the conference is looking at adding another member to give it an even 12. It would then break into two divisions of six and play a football championship game. The Big East football schools recently agreed to a seven-year deal worth about $130 million with ESPN, though the first year of the deal is expected to be adjusted down with the departure of the seven basketball schools. The Big East will receive about $20 million per year for the final six years of the deal, or about $2 million per school.

New Fox sports network to debut in August NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone who thinks TV is already saturated with sports of every stripe, stay tuned. Here comes Fox with an in-your-face challenge to ESPN a 24-hour sports cable network called Fox Sports 1, set to launch Aug. 17. “ESPN, quite frankly, is a machine,” Fox Sports executive vice president Bill Wanger said Tuesday in announcing the venture. “They have very consistent ratings, obviously huge revenue. We’re coming in trying to take on the establishment. It’s no different than Fox News or Fox Broadcasting back in the
’80s. We’re going to have to scratch and claw our way all the way to the top.” To do that, Fox executives are confident they have enough live events, with rights to college basketball and football, NASCAR, soccer and UFC fights. In its first year, the new network will broadcast nearly 5,000 hours of competition and news. Fox owns rights to many Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA basketball and football games. Its soccer deals include UEFA Champions League and the men’s and women’s World Cups from 2015-22. Starting in 2014, FS1 will start broadcasting
Major League Baseball games, including part of the postseason. It will show some NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races as early as 2015, with other NASCAR events on the air from the startup. “We believe we’ve amassed enough live events and can package and put programming around it where we can have scale,” Fox Sports coPresident Randy Freer said. “We can have significance. We can be a major player in the market.” However, unlike ESPN’s lineup, there’s no NBA, no SEC football, no ACC basketball and, the biggest attraction of all, no
NFL games. On that last point, Wanger was quick to add: “Yet.” Still to be determined is whether the NFL sells some Thursday night games separately from its NFL Network package. If it does, everyone will try to buy a piece of the action. That will be the case for any rights deals that come along; there aren’t many, with long-term pacts now the norm. NBC and CBS already have their own cable sports networks, and Turner is also a factor. Fox Sports co-President Eric Shanks mentioned the NBA, Big Ten and U.S. Open tennis as appealing properties whose contracts
expire in the next several years. FS1 has two main challenges, he said. One is producing enough alluring live events to draw viewers, and he thinks the network is already in good shape to do that. The other is inertia: Fans accustomed to tuning to ESPN must be persuaded to switch to a different network. “People need to over time feel like there’s a channel number in their head that they can go to as an alternative to one of the more powerful sports channels out there,” he said. Will they watch nightly highlights on something
other than “SportsCenter” ? FS1 will try to find out with its own news show, which will look more like Fox’s NFL pregame coverage than ESPN’s cornerstone program. “We like our position,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. “We have always had vigorous competition so there is really nothing substantially new here. Others are, however, beginning to recognize what we have long known: The power of live sports, especially in light of technological advances, is suband brings stantial tremendous value in today’s entertainment landscape.”

Duke crushes Va. Tech
Mushers welcome rest at Alaska wilderness villages
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Seth Curry scored 20 points in his final home game and No. 3 Duke pulled away to beat Virginia Tech 85-57 on Tuesday night. Fellow senior Ryan Kelly added 18 points in his second straight strong performance since coming back from an injury for the Blue Devils (26-4, 13-4 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot nearly 52 percent yet struggled for a while before outscoring the Hokies 32-10 during the final 12-plus minutes to finish unbeaten at home for the 17th time in school history. Erick Green scored 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting to lead Virginia Tech (13-17, 4-13), which hasn’t beaten a team in the upper half of the league standings all season. But for much of the game, Green and the Hokies found a way to keep pace with Duke. Jarell Eddie’s jumper with 12 minutes left pulled Virginia Tech to 5347. But Kelly capped Duke’s next possession with an extraordinary effort to stick back a rebound after Tyler Thornton had a shot blocked. That started a game-ending run in which the Blue Devils scored on 15 of their final 16 possessions and included curtain calls for the three seniors Curry, Mason Plumlee and Kelly. The Blue Devils improved to 17-0 this season with Kelly who missed nearly two months with a right foot injury before coming back to score 36 points last time out in his first game back, a 79-76 victory over then-No. 5 Miami three nights earlier. No. 9 K. State 79, TCU 68 MANHATTAN, Kan. — Angel Rodriguez had 21 points and 10 assists and Shane Southwell and Martavious Irving both added 15 points as No. 9 Kansas State beat TCU 7968 on Tuesday night.

Kansas State seniors Jordan Henriquez, Irving and Rodney McGruder extended their career win total to 99, more than any class in school history. Kyan Anderson had 29 points for the Horned Frogs (10-20, 1-16), while Devonta Abron added 10. The Wildcats kept their distance for most of the game, but the Horned Frogs made it interesting early in the second half by slashing into a 42-27 halftime deficit with a 12-2 run. No. 15 Marquette 60, Rutgers 54 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Jamil Wilson scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including the late 3-pointer that put No. 15 Marquette
ahead for good, and the Golden Eagles rallied for a 60-54 victory over Rutgers on Tuesday night. Vander Blue had 22 points and made two gamesealing free throws with 13.9 seconds left for Marquette (22-7, 13-4 Big East), which kept pace with Georgetown and Louisville for the regular season title with one game remaining. Junior Cadougan added points 10 for Marquette. Myles Mack scored 11 points and Jerome Seagears added 10 for Rutgers (13-15, 4-13), which has lost five straight and 11 of 12. No. 24 N. Dame 66, St. Johns 40 SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jerian Grant had 21 points and eight assists, Eric Atkins added 15 points and
No. 24 Notre Dame held St. John’s to 18 percent shooting in the second half in a 66-40 victory Tuesday night. The Fighting Irish (23-7, 11-6 Big East) ended a three-game losing streak to the Red Storm (16-13, 8-9), who lost for the fifth time in six games. Notre Dame’s Cameron Biedscheid and Sir’Dominic Pointer of the Red Storm got in a skirmish with 1:46 left in the game. Both players were given technicals and ejected. Jack Cooley, who only played 15 minutes was held scoreless Saturday against Marquette because of an illness, went 0 for 2 in the first half against St. John’s before scoring 12 points in the second half. He had 13 rebounds in his final home game.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Imagine standing on a sled behind a team of 16 dogs, traveling mile after desolate mile in the Alaska wilderness without any sign of other human life. All of a sudden, lights shine off in the distance, the first village to come into view in a very long time. Whether it’s a single cabin or a booming village of several hundred people, for mushers on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the villages are not only checkpoints to eat, rest and recharge, but a chance to interact with someone other than their dogs. “There are no checkpoints that I dislike,” said defending champion Dallas Seavey. “Every time you come around the corner and see the lights of a checkpoint approaching, it’s a great sight.” Four-time champion Martin Buser rested at the checkpoint in Rohn after a blistering fast 170mile run that had put him hours ahead of the other teams. Buser reached Rohn Monday and took his mandatory 24-hour rest there, watching other mushers arrive and leave, before he departed at 12:03 p.m. Tuesday. Buser’s layover put Aaron Burmeister in the lead Tuesday. He was the first in and out of the Nikolai checkpoint 75 miles past Rohn, arriving at 8:11 a.m. and departing a little more than four hours later. Running second was last year’s Iditarod runner-up, Aliy Zirkle, who left Nikolai at 1:13 p.m. Tuesday. There are 26 checkpoints along the 1,000mile trail from Anchorage to Nome, and for Zirkle, the reception that teams receive are truly Alaska events: Villagers welcome
the dogs first. “And it’s an openarmed greeting, where they want to make sure all the dogs are OK, and they get straw for them and food for them,” said Zirkle, running her 13th Iditarod. “Then they say, ‘How are you doing, Aliy?’” There are two ghost towns that serve as checkpoints along the trail, including the race’s namesake, the former mining village of Iditarod, which once boasted a population of 10,000 people. The ghost towns fill up with support staff during the race, but are empty the rest of the year. But other villages are just like small towns in the Lower 48. “They have schools, they have post offices, they have a runway,” race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon said. “They’re basically like any small town community except inaccessible,” she said of the state’s limited road system. “You can only get there by dog team, snowmachine or air.” The checkpoints serve a purpose. Veterinarians staff the checkpoints to examine the dogs, and race officials make sure the mushers are fit to continue. Mushers are required to take three mandatory rest periods during the race. They take one 24hour layover any time during the race. They must take one eight-hour rest at a checkpoint along the Yukon River, and the other eight-hour rest at White Mountain, 77 miles from the finish line in Nome. The village of Takotna is becoming a popular place for mushers to take the longer rest period. It comes 329 miles into the race, at a time when the dogs are ready for a break and mushers need a good meal.

then used his blocker on a similar play moments later. Johnson nearly won it for Columbus with 42 seconds left in overtime when his shot from the slot hit the right post. Edmonton made it 3-2 while the ice was still wet in the second period. On the rush, Sam Gagner stepped around Cody Goloubef, stretched to tap the puck to Paajarvi, who beat a frozen Mason. Columbus responded at 10:44 with Derick Brassard, from behind the net, threading a pass to Johnson for a snap shot from between the circles for his second. Johnson was back in the lineup after missing four games with an upperbody injury. In a back-and-forth first
period, Petry opened the scoring with his second at 4:23 on a floater from the point past a screened Mason. Three minutes later, Boll feathered a long pass from the top of the right circle. MacKenzie fended off Whitney and got his stick down in time for a doorstep redirect to tie it with his third. Prospal made it 2-1 with his team-leading ninth, on the power play, at 13:45 on a jam-shot during a scramble. After Letestu rung a shot off the post, Ryan Johansen dove to poke the puck away from Dubnyk to Prospal. Whitney made it 2-2 late in the period, cruising into the zone unmarked then beating Mason between the legs from near the right dot.

Browns tweak front office, Lombardi is GM
McIlroy taking heat
previously worked in Cleveland under former coach Bill Belichick. “There’s no change in Mike’s position at all,� Banner said during a conference call. “It’s purely an add of Ray. The title change just facilitated our getting permission from Kansas City.� Banner worked with the 38-year-old Farmer in Philadelphia and said he always had the former linebacker in mind as someone he wanted to work with in another organization. “He’s a very bright, guy,� hard-working Banner said. “He understands the elements of putting together a team versus just picking players.� impressed Farmer Banner and owner Jimmy Haslam when he interviewed with the Browns during their GM search this offseason. Banner prefers a frontoffice structure without a GM, but was willing to alter the makeup because of the chance to hire Farmer. Before the change, Banner felt not having a GM gave his staff some incentive.

Coach Urban Meyer began his second season with the Buckeyes by overseeing the first spring workout inside the team’s practice facility because of inclement weather. Meyer patrolled the field looking at different position groups. He is particularly interested in filling huge departures on

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — The statement released by his handlers was almost as bad as the kid’s decision to walk out on the tournament. It was the first big mistake of his career, at a time when the golf world was enthralled by such a young talent. He was criticized by the press and by his peers for his selfish behavior, though there was hope that he at least would learn from his mistake. This was Tiger Woods, 1996. In his fourth straight PGA Tour event since turning pro, the 20-yearold Woods effectively locked up a spot on tour with his tie for third in the B.C. Open. The next week he had another sponsor’s exemption to the Buick Challenge. Woods showed up at Callaway Gardens before abruptly leaving town, and IMG released a statement that he was exhausted. It looked even worse when Woods didn’t even stick around for the Fred Haskins Award dinner to honor him as college player of the year. Eleven days later, Woods won in Las Vegas and all was forgotten. That’s the best way out for Rory McIlroy. Good golf goes a long way. McIlroy laid the foundation for seeking forgiveness in a 25-minute telephone interview Sunday night with Sports Illustrated. He said what everyone else suspected: It was frustration over his game and not pain from his wisdom tooth that led him to walk out on the Honda Classic just eight holes into his second round. He was 7-over par, and with his second shot in the water on No. 18, it was about to get worse. So he turned in his scorecard and bolted for the parking lot. “What I should have done is take my drop, chip it on, try to make a 5 and play my hardest on the back nine, even if I shot 85,� McIlroy told the magazine. “What I did was not good for the tournament, not good for the kids and the fans who were out there watching me. It was not the right thing to do.� Expect to hear much of the same when he speaks

Rory McIlroy watches his tee shot on the 10th hole during the first round of the Honda Classic golf tournament Feb. 28 in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Wednesday at Doral. He was practicing at The Bear’s Club just hours after he withdrew from the Honda Classic. Ernie Els saw him “practicing his tail off� all weekend, and then McIlroy played Monday afternoon in the Pro-Member tournament at Seminole. They spoke privately. That’s all the Big Easy would share. “We’ll see what he says tomorrow,� Els said. It really doesn’t matter. Most reasonable people know by now that Boy Wonder made a boyish blunder. Jack Nicklaus weighed in by saying if only McIlroy had waited five more minutes, he would have thought the better of leaving. There’s nothing McIlroy can do to change that now, and nothing he can say that will change anyone’s opinion. “When it comes to being where he’s at, you’ve got to maybe think a little bit more than two minutes,� Els said. “In a couple of years’ time, he won’t even think about this or talk about this. If he wins this week, it will be the last thing we talk about. It will be history, and that’s what it should be. It’s something that’s happened and we should move on from that. He’s a great kid.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A week from chasing NFL free agents, the Cleveland Browns changed their front office. Ray Farmer, who spent the past seven seasons with Kansas City, was hired as the Browns’ new assistant general manager Tuesday. The addition of Famer led to Mike Lombardi’s title being switched from vice president of player personnel to GM. CEO Joe Banner said plans to bring Farmer aboard had been in the works “for a little while.� But in order to get Farmer from the Chiefs he had to be promoted and that meant Lombardi’s title had to change. Banner made it clear that Lombardi’s responsibilities would remain the same, and that Farmer would assist the GM in overseeing the pro and college scouting departments. “He adds a voice,� Banner said of Farmer, “and as a top-tier player evaluator in the NFL.� Lombardi was hired on Jan. 18 after spending the past five years working as a TV commentator. He
Only way of out the mess is to be like Woods
admits he’s made a mistake, then that’s that, and let’s move on.� The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland won his second major last year, captured the money title on the two biggest tours, swept all the important awards and established himself as No. 1 in the world. He also signed a big deal with Nike said to be worth upward of $20 million a year. And he was eager to prove it. McIlroy noticed a flaw in his swing when he watched the first Nike commercial he made with Woods. There are questions about how well he is adjusting to the driver and the golf ball, even though his bad play the last two tournaments was attributed to his iron game. He told Sports Illustrated he needed to be more like Woods. “He might be the best athlete ever in terms of his ability to grind it out,� McIlroy said. “I could have a bit more of that, if I’m honest.� Honesty has rarely been a problem for McIlroy. He was probably too honest when he told three reporters who followed him to his car that he was “not in a good place mentally.� When he blew a fourshot lead in the final round of the 2011 Masters with an 80, he stood in the locker room and took every question about his epic meltdown. He was honest on Twitter when he lashed out at a TV reporter who questioned McIlroy’s caddie, referring to the reporter as a failed player and telling him to “shut up.� Justin Rose knows about expectations.
He was 17 when he tied for fourth in the 1998 British Open at Royal Birkdale, turned pro a week later and missed the cut in his first 21 cuts as a pro. He later realized that fans didn’t care as much about his results as he thought they did. He worked his way out of the slump eventually and now is No. 5 in the world. “I guess you can play your way out of trouble a lot quicker when you’re No. 1 in the world,� Rose said. “Facing a little bit of pressure and expectation that’s on Rory right now, he has the skill set and the talent to possibly turn it around a lot quicker.� The sooner the better. McIlroy has played only 80 holes in three tournaments this year a missed cut, a first-round loss in the Match Play Championship, and a withdrawal. He has gone through rough patches before. It was only 10 months ago that he missed four cuts in five tournaments. His shoulders sagged. He threw a few clubs. But he never walked off the course without finishing, and that makes you wonder if his psyche is really that fragile. He has two more tournaments on his schedule before the Masters, and the good news about Doral is that it’s a World Golf Championship with no cut. McIlroy is guaranteed four rounds for the first time this year. The first step is his press conference Wednesday. For McIlroy, honesty will go a long way toward putting this behind him. Winning will go even further.
