BY BETHANY J. ROYER Civitas Media broyer@civitasmedia.com For the second year in a row Hospice of Miami County has been recognized as a top place to work by WorkPlaceDynamics LLP, a program that gives employees an opportunity to anonymously rate and comment on their place of employment. However, the recognition coupled with a celebratory three decades this month of providing a unique and valuable service to the community, goes much further than some may realize. In short, it’s more than just a reward, or even a paycheck, as explained by Linda Daniel, Executive Director of Hospice of Miami County. “It’s about what that creates within the organization in terms of awareness about what we do, why it’s important,” said Daniel. “And why we feel strongly and committed to what we do and why there’s a benefit to what we do.” The importance of the non-profit, familiar to many, is seeing to the comfort, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs for the terminally ill while also

Coffee, Irish whiskey and cream. Taken separately they’re a tasty trio. But combine them just the right way and in just the right proportions and they get even better, transforming into a drink that can perk up the grayest day. We’re talking Irish coffee, of course, a drink that’s especially popular around St. Patrick’s Day, but good any time you want to add some zing to your caffeine. See Page 4.

“We have certainly weathered a storm, and over the last few years, the T r o y Strawberry Festival has certainly weathered the storms,” DANKWORTH Beamish said, adding that 2012 chairperson Corie Schweser was remarkably
successful in organizing the event downtown for the first time. In an emotional speech, Schweser thanked the attendees for their help in the festival, which she called “a magical, lifechanging experience that I will never ever forget in my life.” Local non-profits raised about $400,000. Kathi Roetter, 2014 festival chairperson, counted the bed races and strawberry doughnuts as two of the many noteworthy elements of the event. Like

• US stock market isn’t the only one climbing LONDON (AP) — U.S. stocks are not alone in racing ahead this year. Many markets in Europe and Asia are trading at multi-year highs, too, in part because of Wall Street’s rally. The advances in some places have been surprising, given paltry levels of economic growth around the world. Britain’s FTSE 100, for example, enjoyed its best January since 1989 with an increase of more than 6 percent even though the British economy has one foot in another recession. Many explanations have been given for 2013’s roaring start, notably the relief over a U.S. budget agreement that avoided sending the world’s largest economy over the “fiscal cliff” of automatic tax increases and spending cuts that threatened to drag it back into recession. Several other factors are also at play: The future of the euro appears more secure than it has been for much of the past three years. There are rising hopes that Asia will give global growth another lift. The slowdown in China, the world’s No. 2 economy, seems to have leveled. And a new government in Tokyo has made revival of the moribund Japanese economy its top priority.

providing support and care to their families. Taking part in the survey provided by the LLP helped the nonprofit to reflect upon the values of not only what they contribute to those in their final days within the community but the importance of a positive relationship between employer and employee. As Daniel, along with Susan Walker Hemm, marketing and development manager, expressed their thanks to Dee Dee Denton, support staff/accounts receivable clerk, who was the driving force behind the hospice taking part in the survey these last two years. For Denton, it was something she felt the non-profit needed to do. “Regardless of whether or not you are extremely happy in your job, or extremely dissatisfied with your job, it is important that we all get to say what we want to say,” Denton said about the opportunity to make comments, both negative and positive, about a place of employment the survey provides. As pointed out by Daniel, the survey results were very enlightening as to the type of employees at the non-profit, as the response went well above and beyond expectations. An impressive 87 percent of employees took part in the survey that typically sees an average of less than 60 percent. “Right there, that tells us a lot about our employees even wanting to participate, said Hemm as one of the criteria stipulates so many respondents must take part. “Both years, we overshot that,” said Denton, which is why the hospice has been recognized both in 2012 and 2013 as a top work place. Besides an overwhelming response, the non-profit also discovered, as founded by many employers who take part in the survey such as the City of Piqua, also recognized this year as a top work place for the year, is that work is far more than a paycheck. “It’s about that feeling (of being) included in the process, feeling appreciated,” said Daniel. “To me that’s kind of remarkable, it’s been here 30 years and continues to impact people in a really meaningful way, it is pretty amazing.” Hospice of Miami County had humble beginnings in a local church

basement where a discussion on Medicare reimbursement for hospice care along with three different standpoints of providing healthcare, social service, and philanthropy, helped to bring the non-profit together. Loving the work, the people and the mission helps, too. “We love where we work, we love what we are doing for people, we love the mission that we have and to be able to do that, to be able to grow and change I think is a very, very important thing,” said Denton. “It makes me very proud to work for an organization that can do the last wishes for a patient, regardless what steps had to be taken, it was done. I think, that’s a powerful thing.” Other words brought to attention by the hospice advocates concerning the results from the survey that highlight the morethan-a-paycheck power of a top work place: Enthusiasm, pride, commitment, giving back to the community, and teamwork. “That team is very important to us,” said Hemm of both paid employees and the many volunteers who are a valuable part of the non-profit. “I think it was well brought out in this survey we really do work as a team, we function as a team, we’ve got great things that we can celebrate as a team and we’ve got things we can improve as a team. When we say team around here, we mean it.” Denton agreed. “You have to rely on each other, to be able to count on each other,” he said as she explained how the survey results was also a testament to their profound leadership, as it gave those leaders an opportunity to see what areas may need improvement. “I think this is one of the reasons why we are a top workplace. We’re willing to say its not always perfect, let’s look at this, and see what we can do.” When asked how other places of employment may be able to improve their own work environment, to capture the teamwork and more-than-a-paycheck spirit, the hospice group emphasized it begins with the culture inside. “What’s our most valuable resource?” asked Hemm. “Obviously, it’s our staff.”

Perk up St. Pat’s Day with perfect Irish coffee By the Associated Press Coffee, Irish whiskey and cream. Taken separately they’re a tasty trio. But combine them just the right way and in just the right proportions and they get even better, transforming into a drink that can perk up the grayest day. We’re talking Irish coffee, of course, a drink that’s especially popular around St. Patrick’s Day, but good any time you want to add some zing to your caffeine. The secret, says Larry Silva, general manager of the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco which serves up 2,000 Irish coffees a day is how you put the drink together. At the Buena Vista the original source of the drink in the U.S. Irish coffee starts with a stemmed, 6-ounce glass that’s been preheated with hot water. And both of those elements are critical. A bigger or smaller glass would throw off the coffee-booze balance. A cold glass results in a tepid cocktail. There was a bit of a hitch a few years back when Libbey Glass stopped making the type the Buena Vista uses. Silva had to scramble to find another source but, happily, Libbey has since reinstated the product. For a touch of sweetness, the Buena Vista recipe adds two cubes of sugar, though other recipes call for brown sugar. The cream, meanwhile, should be fresh and just slightly whipped nothing from an aerosol can. As for the whiskey, the Buena Vista is currently using Tullamore Dew. In general, what you are seeking is a smooth whiskey that won’t fight with the other flavors, says Silva. This isn’t the time to

pull out that peaty Scotch. But don’t be afraid to use something good. “Using a premium spirit elevates any cocktail,” says John Concannon, a California vintner who has teamed with Ireland’s Cooley Distillery to develop Concannon Irish Whiskey, which also makes a good Irish coffee. The whiskey, made and aged in Ireland, is matured in bourbon barrels, then finished off with some time in wine barrels that have been used to age Concannon Vineyard’s flagship petite sirah wine. “Because of the unique barrel finishing in the distilling process, Concannon has a complexity and character all its own, making for a one-of-a-kind Irish coffee experience,” Concannon said via email. Though it seems likely that people have been introducing a drop or two of whiskey into coffee for a while, the drink as a cocktail was popularized in Ireland at the Foynes port, precursor to Shannon Airport, in the 1940s when chef Joe Sheridan decided to pep up some coffee with Irish whiskey to cheer chilly travelers. The drink was much appreciated and one of the passengers is said to have asked, “Was that Brazilian coffee?” Sheridan jokingly

IRISH COFFEE Depending on which version of the “original” Irish coffee you subscribe to, it is sweetened with either 2 sugar cubes or 1 teaspoon brown sugar.

AS I SEE IT
Sequestration conclave may be what we need It’s the morning of March 1; I’m having a cup of coffee looking out the window and thinking to myself, “Sequestration — call the doctor, I think the American People might need an ointment for that!” I was holding out hope that all parties involved were going to stop talking to the cameras and start talking to each other. Well that was a pipe dream. We elected all of those involved in this crisis and all they could come up with is a across the board cuts. That’s just great; let’s just run our government by the meat cleaver. The first day ended like every other day, but as we move along we will see how this will affect us here in the trenches. The economy is starting to improve the stock market is continuing to flirt with the 14,000 mark. The middle class continues to go to work, pay our taxes and expects better out our government. What did we get from John Boehner? Answer: Adjournment of the House of Representatives. Hey John, have you ever heard of OT? I know overtime might get in the way of your golf game, but there just might be more important issues at hand. Mr. Boehner claims they have already proposed bills to solve the budget problems, but the Senate would not pass their bills. That is true. That was also during the last Congress, John, and it is the House of Representatives’ job to Dave Fisher propose and pass budget and govTroy Daily News Guest Columnist ernment spending bills, then send them to the Senate. There are no easy answers, but blindly swinging that meat cleaver is dangerous, and someone could lose a finger. Both Democrats and Republicans voted for this lame solution to a major problem, thinking it can be averted down the road. Down the road and on their way home is what we got. All options should be on the table. The Republicans absolutely will not talk about increasing revenues or cutting entitlements to big business. It’s all about the lazy 47 percent that expects handouts all day, every day in their narrow minds. The elected Republicans that used the Tea Party to get where they needed to go have ran into a brick wall and now have nowhere to go. Compromise is not in their vocabulary! Even seen talking with a Democrat is a sign of weakness in their minds. A local elected official told me the key to politics is to “always keep them fooled.” The Republicans have done a good job fooling some of you up to this point. Common sense entitlement cuts, common sense tax reforms and asking those who are well off to pay a little more is not fooling anybody — it is just what needs to be done. Maybe what we need to do is take a lead from the Catholic Church and have a Sequestration Conclave. No newspapers, no polling, no lobbyist, no communication in or out. Ban FOX and MSNBC from Washington, allow one staff member per Congressional member, the vice president and the president. Lock them in the United States Capital until they get this done. Our clue that it is finished will not be white smoke; it will be when the dust settles.

My niece doesn’t know the meaning of bullying It never ceases to amaze me how you can eat an entire loaf of garlic bread, hold a little kid down against his or her will and repeatedly breathe your garlic bread in his or her face one time — one time! — and you will forever be labeled a bully. That’s what my niece informed me I was through tearstained eyes the other day after I had done just that. In the interests of science, I wanted to see how unbearable someone’s breath could be after eating that much garlic bread. I figured my niece would be a willing participant in my scientific experiment. Turns out, however, she had no interest in helping out the scientific community. Seriously, these are the types of things that happen at our family dinners. “You are nothing but a big bully!” she yelled at me, tears streaming down her face. I apologized and told her it was all in good fun. I was just trying to show my little niece how much I cared for her. “You’re a bully!” she screamed back at me. And that’s when I told her, “Julia, you don’t know what bullying really is.” As the fourth of five children,
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor I know a few things about what bullying truly is. When I was her age, I had my fair share of wedgies, noogies, “Hertz Doughnuts,” games of 52-card pick-up and leftover cereal milk dumped directly from the bowl on top of my head. And that was just my older sister. My older brothers were far more ruthless. Sure, they engaged in all the usual physical bullying tactics — a favorite game of my brother Steven was grabbing my wrists, forcing me to hit myself in the face and saying, “Stop hitting yourself! Why are you hitting yourself?” — but their bullying actually went far deeper than that. They engaged in full-blown psychological bullying. The three of us all slept in the
same room — a recipe for disaster, considering they were both in high school when I was still elementary school — and every night as we would lie in bed, they would tell me I was adopted. They told me I was not actually their brother, but rather I had been rescued from a Cambodian refugee camp. They even told me they remembered the day they went down to the docks with mom and dad to pick me up, fresh off the boat from Cambodia. They were smart about their elaborate ruse, as well. As I was in bed — usually crying — trying to refute their claims, they would always say, “You can go ahead and ask mom, but she’s probably going to lie to you. She won’t want to hurt your feelings, so she’ll tell you that you weren’t really adopted.” The next day, I would ask my mother if I had been adopted — and just as they had predicted, she would always tell me I was not. The fact my mom actually lost my birth certificate — I had to order a new one when I got married 12 years ago — didn’t help matters much. Of course, the bullying didn’t end with my brothers and sisters, either. Take, for instance,
the time my parents left me at Troy Memorial Stadium after one of my older sister’s soccer games, forcing me to walk home. It was a 2-mile walk. At 10 p.m. In the dark. I was in the sixth grade. To this day, my parents swear it was an accident and they didn’t mean to leave me behind. I’m sure that happens all the time; parents bring home all of their children but one from sporting events every day in this country. Especially when that child is standing behind the station wagon, banging on the back window and asking to be let in the car. The best part, however, was walking through the front door and having them yell at me for 1) Putting them through all that worry 2) Making them search all over town for me and 3) Not bothering to ask some random stranger in the parking lot for a ride home. So yes, I probably do pick on my niece way more than I should. But look at it this way, kid — it could always be worse. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News.

WWE says William Moody, a.k.a. Paul Bearer, has died By the Associated Press William Moody, better known to pro wrestling fans as Paul Bearer, the pasty-faced, urn-carrying manager for performers The Undertaker and Kane, has died, the WWE said. He was 58. A spokesman for the wrestling company said Moody’s family contacted the WWE to report the death on Tuesday. No cause was released. After stints in various independent wrestling promotions, Moody joined the WWE in 1990 and quickly became associated with The Undertaker, a character who claimed he was undead and boasted of mystical powers. In the WWE plotline, Paul Bearer later managed Undertaker’s onscreen half brother Kane. He also managed the badguy character Mick “Mankind” Foley. His shrill catchphrase, “Ooohhh yeeesss!” and contorted facial expressions made him one of the sports-entertainment company’s more popular personalities for more than a decade. In the outlandish world of pro wrestling, Paul Bearer was once placed in a glass casket and buried in concrete. In his final WWE appearance last year, Paul Bearer was locked in a freezer by Randy Orton and left there tied up even after he was found by Kane.

This undated photo released Wednesday, March 6, 2013, by WWE, Inc. shows William Moody, a.k.a. Paul Bearer, the pasty-faced, urn-carrying manager for performers The Undertaker and Kane. That was Moody’s life in the WWE. And it was a business he loved for nearly 40 years. Many of his colleagues paid tribute to him on Wednesday on Twitter. “Rest in peace, Paul Bearer. You will never be forgotten. There will never be another,” wrote wrestler Triple H. Moody was a perfect fit as a macabre mortician. When he joined the WWE, he ditched the blond hair and Percy Pringle name he forged in the 1980s for jet black locks complete with powdered white face. In the act, Paul Bearer’s urn had some unexplained power that protected the Undertaker, allowing his protege to
escape unscathed from every leg drop and big boot to the face. Paul Bearer also hosted the WWE segment, “The Funeral Parlor.” Moody, an Alabama native, told the pro wrestling website PWTorch.com last year that had a degree in mortuary science. He said he was a licensed funeral director and embalmer. He was called to WWE chairman Vince McMahon’s office about taking the job as Undertaker’s manager without the company knowing his true background. “It was one those hadto-be-there moments when Vince realized I was the real thing, the real
deal,” Moody told the website. “I was the real Undertaker.” Moody battled health and weight problems and worked on and off for the company after 2002. Foley said he babysat Moody’s children and called him “Uncle Paul.” The Paul Bearer character will be remembered most for the soap opera twists in his relationship with The Undertaker, still one of the premier stars of the company. “It just seemed so bizarre,” Foley said in a telephone interview. “But at the same time, he was a perfect fit for The Undertaker. They went on to become iconic figures in our profession.”
Rock guitarist Alvin Lee dies LONDON (AP) — British rock guitarist Alvin Lee, founder of the band Ten Years After who burst to stardom with a memorable Woodstock performance, has died. He was 68. A statement posted on Lee’s official website said he died Wednesday unexpectedly from complications following a routine surgical procedure. Lee’s manager, Ron Rainey, said the guitarist died in Spain. “We have lost a wonderful, much loved father and companion,” said the statement signed by his daughter Jasmin, wife Evi and former companion Suzanne. “The world has lost a truly great and gifted musician.” The Nottingham, England-born Lee founded the band Ten Years After in 1967. The group first toured the U.S. in 1967, but its popularity exploded following Lee’s rousing performance of the song “I’m Going Home” at Woodstock in 1969. Lee’s epic and electrifying solos on his Gibson guitar for the 11-minute performance were immortalized in the documentary film about the legendary festival.
Ten Years After released ten albums together featuring the group’s mix of blues, swing jazz and rock and toured the U.S. 28 times in seven years. Lee left the band in 1975 to embark on a successful solo career that saw him recording with the likes of George Harrison, Steve Winwood and Mick Fleetwood and experimenting with different styles of country rock, rhythm and blues. In total, Lee released more than 20 albums over a 45-year career. His most recent, “Still On the Road to Freedom,” was released in August 2012 and incorporated a range of styles from rock to blues to jazz to funk. Rainey said he had developed a great friendship over the past 25 years with his client, who he recalled would “always end our conversations and his emails with ‘Keep Rockin’ Ron.’ “He was a great musician, writer, producer, performer, and a gentleman, truly one of a kind,” Rainey said in an email. Former Ten Years After bandmate Leo Lyons called

Don’t yell: Discuss your concerns with wife
Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Events Calendar 8 p.m.: Have History Will Travel 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange
Dear Annie: Money is a constant issue in our house. I need my wife to quit her part-time job at a superstore and find one with a better salary. She knows this. But every time I bring it up, she gets angry and defensive and says that I am calling her lazy. I am totally not saying that. She's a hard worker. We have a total of $50 in savings. We also have a young son and hope to have another child. I'd like to move into a house. To accomplish this, we need two fulltime salaries. How do I bring this up without making my wife angry? I love her dearly. — Grand Rapids, Mich. Dear Grand Rapids: Instead of insisting that your wife find a better-paying job, try talking to her about why she wants to stay where she is. She may love her job. She may be afraid to look elsewhere. She might want to stay home with the kids and believe you should be the one to get a different job. And of course, there may be other issues of which you are unaware. Tell her that you are worried about your financial situation, and ask, gently, why she is so reluctant to deal with it. But keep in mind that while nice, a house is not a requirement for raising a family. Many couples manage just fine without one. Dear Annie: I staunchly refuse to attend gatherings thrown by a particular friend who is obsessive about RSVPs. She insists on them for everything from a backyard BBQ to a girls' night at the movies. Telling her "yes" over the phone or in person doesn't count. It has to be by return mail or a response to an Evite. I live 200 miles away. Once, I RSVP'd yes, but my car broke down two days before the event. I called immediately to tell her I wouldn't be able to come, and she berated me for having said "yes" if it was not a sure thing, like I planned that my car would break down. Then she criticized me for not being able to afford the repairs in time. A month later, I received pictures of the trip to Europe she treated herself to in order to make up for the disappointment of my having ruined her party. I rarely wish to be anywhere near her now and pointedly ignore all invitations that are not delivered verbally. If I can't make it, I pretend I am treating her to her next extravagant vacation. — Had Enough With RSVPs Dear Had Enough: Your friend sounds like a very highmaintenance drama queen. Insisting on formal RSVP responses for informal gatherings is obsessive, and berating you for things beyond your control is punitive. We don't know why you persist with this relationship, but since you live 200 miles away, it would be fairly simple to move out of her orbit entirely. Dear Annie: I have to make a quick comment in response to "Feeling the Void in Indiana," who said men feel incomplete without sex and will risk everything for it. I acknowledge and appreciate where this man is coming from. My husband also "felt the void" and did risk everything to fill it. Fortunately, we were able to work through his affair and remain together. As the infirmities of older age begin to set in, my husband is now grateful that I stuck by him and can care for him, and he is less concerned about sex. If "Feeling" has not yet had a frank conversation with his wife about his needs and asked about HER satisfaction, he is making a huge mistake. My husband thought I knew what he needed and assumed I wouldn't care that he was pursuing satisfaction elsewhere. But he didn't communicate clearly and never asked me whether I was happy. That cost us untold pain that could have been avoided. — Wish It Had Been Different Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Simple ideas can help keep sink drains clear Dear Heloise: What’s the best way to clean sink drains? — Kimberly W. in Florida Kimberly, this is one of the questions that people ask all the time! There are several Heloise Hints for cleaning the drain so that it does not get clogged up. The most important hint is: Don’t wait until it starts draining slowly or is completely stopped up! If you do the preventive hint, then you should not have to call a plumber! This common and easy-totake-care-of household situation was just covered in a story that Good Housekeeping maga-
Hints from Heloise Columnist zine did about me in the March issue. (Disclosure: I have been lucky enough to write a column for Good Housekeeping for almost 30 years.) There also are a lot of tried-and-true Heloise hints in the story about getting stains out (pet urine, chocolate, etc.), cleaning wooden cutting boards and butcher
blocks, and how to get out underarm stains from shirts! Here’s the scoop on what to do to keep drains smelling fresh and free-flowing. First, pour in about 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup table salt. You can mix them together first if you want to. Then the magic! Grab a big bottle or jug of cheap household white or apple-cider vinegar and glug, glug away! You will see the foam and bubbles rise out of the drain — it’s really pretty cool! Let it sit for 10-20 minutes (longer is NOT more effective), then turn on the hot water, let run for 20-30 seconds, followed
by about the same of cold water. That is it! If you do this every few weeks, it will help prevent a blockage. Another hint? Don’t stand over the sink to brush/comb your hair. Where do you think all of the loose hair goes? Down the drain, in the pipes, and then add gunk from washing hands, washing off makeup and all of the other normal things we do when using a sink. It’s a super-duper gunky mess just waiting for the right time to cause a big old backup of water! No stinky, yucky drains — ever! — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, March 8, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a great day for research. If you’re looking for answers, you’re sure to find them. Just keep digging. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In all group situations, whether small gatherings or large conferences, you will make your mark because you’re very convincing today. You’re willing to put a lot of yourself into what you have to say. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today you feel bold enough to make your pitch to a boss or an authority figure. (And, indeed, you are.) However, it’s best to wait until the afternoon for great results. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You have strong opinions today about politics, religion, racial issues, the law and matters related to publishing and travel. If you’re making a strong suggestion in these areas, wait until the afternoon. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You’ll have no trouble defending your own best interests today if something has to be shared or divided. (This might be a good day to discuss inheritances and shared property.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will attract strong people to you today. Even discussions with close friends and partners will be lively, to say the least. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re keen to accomplish a lot of work today, which is why you are delegating so much. You probably will get more done in the afternoon than in the morning. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You’ll be very competitive in sports and creative projects today. You have a strong need to express yourself; furthermore, you expect others to listen to you! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You intend to get your way in family discussions today, which is why you’re coming on pretty strong. Remember: You attract more flies with honey than vinegar. And if you really want people to listen, whisper. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If you enjoy reading, you will read with enthusiasm today. Similarly, if you want to talk to others, you won’t shut up because you’re keen to communicate! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Although you’re full of moneymaking ideas today, wait until the afternoon to make your move. Your enthusiasm might generate money. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re mentally alive today! This is why you want to communicate so strongly with others. You’ll be convincing in whatever you say. YOU BORN TODAY Essentially, you are a nonconformist who insists on doing things your own way. You have a strong zest for life, and you love to learn. You’re tremendously loyal to loved ones and very brave and responsible. Family members know they can rely on you. Good news: Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, March 7, the 66th day of 2013. There are 299 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 7, 1965, a march by civil rights demonstrators was violently broken up at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., by state troopers and a sheriff’s posse in what came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” On this date: • In 1793, during the French Revolutionary Wars, France declared war on Spain. • In 1850, in a three-hour speech to the U.S. Senate, Daniel Webster of
Massachusetts endorsed the Compromise of 1850 as a means of preserving the Union. • In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for his telephone. • In 1936, Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to march into the Rhineland, thereby breaking the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) and the Locarno Pact. • In 1960, Jack Paar returned as host of NBC’s “Tonight Show” nearly a month after walking off in a censorship dispute with the network. • In 1994, the Supreme Court, in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music Inc., unanimously ruled that a parody that
pokes fun at an original work can be considered “fair use” that doesn’t require permission from the copyright holder. (The ruling concerned a parody of the song “Pretty Woman” by the rap group 2 Live Crew.) • Today’s Birthdays: Photographer Lord Snowdon is 83. TV personality Willard Scott is 79. Auto racer Janet Guthrie is 75. Actor John Heard is 67. Rock singer Peter Wolf is 67. Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Franco Harris is 63. Actor Bryan Cranston is 57. Comedian Wanda Sykes is 49. Actor Peter Sarsgaard is 42. Actress Rachel Weisz is 42. Actress Jenna Fischer is 39.
House votes to prevent federal shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans pushed legislation through the House on Wednesday to prevent a government shutdown this month while easing the short-term impact of $85 billion in spending cuts at the same time previewing a longer-term plan to erase federal deficits without raising taxes. President Barack Obama pursued a different path as the GOP asserted its budget priorities. He hosted a dinner with a dozen Republican senators at a hotel near the White House in search of bipartisan support for a deficitcutting approach that includes the higher taxes he seeks as well as savings from Medicare and other benefit programs that they stress. The Republican leaders of the House and Senate did not participate. Any such compromise talks were unlikely to yield fruit for months, if then, although Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, the author of the House Republican budget plan, expressed hope that some progress across party lines might be possible later in the year. “I think this whole thing will come to a crescendo this summer, and we’re going to have to talk to each other to get an agreement about how to delay a debt crisis, how to save this country from a fiscal train wreck that’s coming,” said Ryan, who was the Republicans’ vice presidential candidate last year. He added that he had spoken with Obama in recent days, but he declined to provide details. For now, the divided government’s immediate objectives are to prevent a shutdown of federal agencies on March 27, at the same time lawmakers and the White House look for ways to ease the impact of across-theboard spending cuts that kicked in less than a week ago. The legislation that cleared the House on a bipartisan vote of 267-151 would do both, ensuring funding through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year while granting the Pentagon and the Department of Veterans Affairs greater flexibility in implementing their share of short-term spending cuts. “This is all about whether or

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., leaves the Jefferson Hotel after a dinner meeting hosted by President Barack Obama for a few Republican Senators in Washington, Wednesday. not we shut down the government. This is a bill to keep the government operating,” said Rep. Hal Rogers, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. Minority Democrats appeared torn between a desire to support legislation to keep the government open and their goal of replacing at least half of the spending cuts with provisions to increase revenue. “Instead of closing tax loopholes for corporate jets, they want to cut 4 million meals on wheels,” the party’s House leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, said of Republicans. The bill passed with the support of 53 Democrats, more than a quarter of those voting. It now goes to the Senate, where Democrats and the White House are deep in negotiations with Republicans on changes that would give the Department of Homeland Security and other domestic agencies the same type of flexibility in administering the spending cuts that the Pentagon would receive.
Obama’s two-hour dinner with Senate Republicans stemmed from a suggestion he made during a conversation recently with GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, according to a presidential aide. It also served as prelude to at least two trips to the Capitol in coming days as the chief executive meets with the rank and file of both parties in both houses. Obama had a good exchange of ideas with lawmakers, a White House official said after the dinner. Sen. John McCain, who was among Obama’s guests, told a reporter that the meal went “just fine.” The spending legislation was still pending on the House floor when Ryan began pulling back the curtain on his plan to eliminate deficits in 10 years. The government ran a deficit of more than $1 trillion for the past budget year, about $200 billion less than the year before, and the total federal debt is about $16 trillion. To achieve his 10-year goal of producing a surplus, Ryan said he would incorporate the tax
increases on the wealthy that Congress passed on Jan. 1 over the objections of many House Republicans. The hike translates into an estimated $600 billion or more in additional revenue to the government. The Wisconsin Republican also intends to retain the $85 billion in spending cuts, which translate to a savings of $900 billion or more over a decade, and renew without significant changes a controversial proposal to overhaul Medicare. Speaking of spending in general, he said, “We’re making additional modest changes to get to balance.” Ryan had earlier floated the possibility of accelerating his Medicare proposal so it would apply to individuals currently older than 55. Under pressure from some members of the rank and file, he decided against that but drew criticism during the day from Democrats anyway. “Every time they put in a budget, the first thing they do is ask seniors to sacrifice the most,”
said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who heads the Democrats’ campaign committee. Ryan’s Medicare plan would give future retirees a choice between enrolling in the existing program or a roster of private alternatives, although in any case they would receive a monthly check from the government to defray the cost and be responsible for the difference. In its previous forms, the plan also capped the overall cost of the program. Republicans say change is necessary in order to rescue Medicare from financial ruin as members of the post-World War II baby boom generation retire in large numbers. Democrats contend the plan would effectively end the guarantee of health care coverage that Medicare embodies by exposing seniors to prohibitively large cost increases. Obama has proposed roughly $400 billion in savings over a decade from health care benefit programs, much of it from Medicare, but he has consistently rejected Ryan’s approach. Senate Democrats are drafting their own budget, expected to be made public next week. Officials have yet to say how large a deficit it envisions in a decade, but it will differ in significant ways from the Republican approach. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the Budget Committee chairman, has said she will replace the across-theboard cuts with a blend of spending reductions and tax increase, an approach Obama favors. Other Democrats say she will follow Obama’s lead on Medicare, setting up a contrast with Republicans that her party hopes to exploit in the 2014 elections. Obama’s own budget has been delayed repeatedly this year, and it is not clear if he intends to release it before the House and Senate hold their debates this month. If the administration waits until April, it could avoid certain embarrassment at the hands of Republicans. It is a ritual of budget politics for the party out of power in the White House to demand a vote on the president’s budget, knowing it will fail, sometimes ignominiously.

Troy Christian’s Spencer Thomas protects the ball from a pair of Fort Loramie defenders during Wednesday night’s 65-56 Eagle victory in the Division IV district title game at Trent Arena.
Hanging tough Eagles outlast Redskins, win 1st district title BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com With Troy Christian clinging to the lead late in the fourth and struggling against Fort Loramie’s full-court pressure, senior Christian Salazar made a bold move along the baseline. Eagle coach Ray Zawadzki could hardly bear to watch. “I was like, ‘Oh no, oh no, no, no … yes! Thank you, Lord!’” he said.
Salazar caught a long pass in the corner, drove the baseline and connected on a reverse layup from behind the backboard, a play that reasserted the Eagles’ control with less than two minutes to play. Salazar and Grant Zawadzki then sealed the game from the free throw line, and Salazar jammed home an exclamation point in the closing moments of Troy Christian’s 6556 victory over the Redskins in the Division IV district championship game Wednesday at Trent Arena. Fort Loramie had cut what was once a 12-point Troy Christian lead to four at 53-49 before a pair of Zawadzki free throws gave the Eagles some breathing room — but that did not put the Redskins away.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 20 points and Cleveland’s All-Star guard made all the big plays down the stretch, rallying the Cavaliers to a 104-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. The Cavs trailed 100-92 with less than three minutes left before Irving took over. He scored eight points, made a steal and assisted on Wayne Ellington’s dunk as Cleveland stormed back to stun the Jazz. Irving added 10 assists in his second game back after missing three with a hyperextended knee. Tristan Thompson had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Cleveland, which trailed by 12 in the fourth. Gordon Hayward scored 25 and Enes Kanter had 17 for the Jazz, who have lost five of six. After Ellington’s dunk, Utah’s

Troy Christian’s Christian Salazar goes up for a tough layup
I’ll admit that watching baseball late at night from Taiwan interested me, if only for an inning or so. Not so much for the product on the field, which was minor league at best, but for the fans banging their thunder sticks together in synchronized precision. At least the home team had fans. First-round World Baseball Classic games that didn’t feature the host country in both Taiwan and Japan drew a few hundred people at best, and even they didn’t seem terribly interested in the action. That may change this weekend, with the tournament now moving to the United States and Puerto Rico. At the last WBC in 2009, Japan and Korea played before a packed house in the final at Dodger Stadium, and everyone agreed it was a fine night for baseball. But despite all of

Vikings-Rockets regional rematch postponed BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com
Blackhawks aiming for all-time streak If the Chicago Blackhawks stumble on their way to an NHL record for points in consecutive games, Bobby Clarke won’t be popping champagne. And if they break the mark of Clarke’s 1979-80 Flyers, he won’t mope. See Page 14.
As if it needed more buildup. The Division III regional semifinal matchup between Miami East and Anna — a rematch of last year’s regional final that was originally scheduled for Wednesday night at Springfield High School — was postponed for a night due to Tuesday night’s heavy snowfall.
CASSTOWN “Both teams are in the same boat,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “You wake up prepared to play, then you get a phone call. You’ve just got to deal with it. It’s another mental toughness thing.” Anna has won the last two meetings, including a blowout in last year’s regional final and an eight-point win during the
regular season this year. “We’re not talking a whole lot about the past results, but the girls are learning from those experiences,” Elifritz said. “The girls were really disappointed in the way they played in those games — but that’s just motivation for us. “There’s a massive difference between being ready to play and being prepared to play. I think in those other two games, the girls were more worried
about what Anna was going to do instead of what they needed to do themselves. I think the girls are in a better position now, and we’re going to go in with a different mindset.” And the extra day of preparation didn’t hurt. “We came in and went hard for about an hour and a half. It was another good day of practice,” Elifritz said. “We respect

Attention following McIlroy
■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Commissioner Bud Selig’s best intentions, the WBC isn’t any better in its third incarnation than it was in the first two. The timing is terrible, the pitch count limits are a joke unless you play for the Washington Nationals, and the schedule is manipulated to give the best chance possible to the United States. And— at least when it comes to the U.S. squad — a lot of the best players aren’t playing. No Clayton Kershaw, no Bryce Harper. Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton are busy elsewhere. Justin Verlander had other plans. Blame the players for some of it. The WBC doesn’t mean enough to them to change their spring training routine — not when there are millions of dollars in potential contracts on the line. Blame major league teams, too. They may not be discouraging stars from playing, but there’s an inferred message that loyalty to the team that pays you outweighs any loyalty to country in the WBC. There are still plenty of good players on the U.S. team, of course. Ryan Braun is one, and if anyone needs a feel good story about leading his country to victory, it’s the Milwaukee slugger who tested positive for testosterone in 2011 (his suspension was later overturned) and was linked this year to a Miami clinic that allegedly supplied performance enhancing drugs to athletes. The U.S. opens play Friday in Arizona against Mexico, followed by weekend games against Italy and Canada. If all goes according to plan, the squad will head to Miami and then to San Francisco for the semifinals and finals. Before he strained a wrist Tuesday and was taken off the roster, Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira called the competition an exhibition, and that’s how most U.S. players trying to get ready for the season seem to regard it. Selig himself was frustrated by the lackadaisical approach the U.S. team took in 2009, saying after it was eliminated that players had to “push up the intensity.” The U.S. has finished no better than fourth in the two tournaments. They take it more seriously in other countries like Cuba and Japan, which won both previous World Baseball Classics. Not hard to figure out why because, with baseball kicked out of the Olympics, it’s their only real chance on the world stage. For the WBC to be meaningful in the country where baseball grew up, some changes are in order. The first would be to move the games out of spring training and into a time slot better suited for players and fans. It won’t happen in the middle of the season, because baseball owners would never stand for losing revenue. But it could be played at warm weather sites in November just after the World Series ends, and the finals could be played somewhere other than the United States. Judging from the lukewarm response by most U.S. players, baseball also needs to find an incentive to make them play. As it stands now, they have more reasons to demur than to sign up for the red, white and blue. Finally, the best games should be played on something other than the MLB Network. Make them easier for the casual viewer to find, and there might be more interest. Ultimately, though, the WBC is a flawed concept, no matter how well intentioned Selig and the other founders of the tournament were. It doesn’t have the cachet of the Olympics, and doesn’t get the respect of many of the players. There’s no real good time to hold it, and even die-hard fans greet it with little more than a yawn. Maybe the best thing to do is scrap it and use the time and energy to lobby for world baseball to return where it belongs — in the Olympics.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — As if quitting in the middle of a golf tournament didn’t bring Rory McIlroy enough attention, it might not let up on the golf course. McIlroy has been going through damage control the last five days after his abrupt departure when he was 7-over par through eight holes and decided to call it quits at the Honda Classic. After an apology to Sports Illustrated, he faced the media on Wednesday and took all the blame. “I actually think in the long run, Friday will be a blessing in disguise,” he said, referring to the day AP PHOTO he withdrew last week. “It Rory McIlroy tees off at the eighth hole during prac- was like it just sort of tice at the Cadillac Golf Championship, in Doral, Fla. released a valve, and all Wednesday. that pressure that I’ve
been putting on myself just went away. And I was like, ‘Just go out and have fun. It’s not life or death out there. It’s only a game.’ “I had sort of forgotten that this year.” The world’s No. 1 player won’t be able to escape the spotlight when the Cadillac Championship gets under way on Thursday at Doral. This World Golf Championship tends to group the top players in the world ranking, meaning McIlroy gets to spend the opening two rounds with Tiger Woods and Luke Donald. And while McIlroy’s behavior was questioned last week, it’s his game that has been the most curious.
■ National Hockey League
He played with Woods when both made their 2013 debut in Abu Dhabi, and the 23-year-old from Northern Ireland had rounds of 75-75 to miss the cut. Woods also missed the cut that week because of a two-shot penalty, though he flew halfway around the world the following week and won at Torrey Pines for his 75th career win. McIlroy had a sloppy performance on Dove Mountain and lost in the first round of the Match Play Championship, and then made it through only 26 holes at PGA National. He lost track of the hours he put in at The Bear’s Club over the weekend, hopeful that he can sort out the problems in his swing.

Made to be broken Former Flyer keeping an eye on Blackhawks’ streak PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If the Chicago Blackhawks stumble on their way to an NHL record for points in consecutive games, Bobby Clarke won’t be popping champagne. And if they break the mark of Clarke’s 1979-80 Flyers, he won’t mope. Unlike some former stars, who hold their records more tightly than he ever gripped his two Stanley Cups, Clarke can appreciate the way Chicago has inched closer to Philadelphia’s record. The Blackhawks are up to 23 straight games this season — and 29 overall — as they chase Philadelphia’s NHL mark of 35 straight games with a point. From Clarke’s perspective, the new era of great teams should rise to the level of the ones before them. “All the records should be challenged and beaten by new generations,” Clarke said. The great Flyers’ captain had one caveat. “They can’t use last
year’s games, that’s foolishness,” Clarke said Wednesday. “Can Sidney Crosby go back and take the points he got in the last 10 games and add them to this year and add them to the scoring race? Can the Flyers add their point total from the last 10 games and add them to this year so they can get a playoff spot? It’s legitimate if they do it in one season. It’s not legitimate if they use two season totals.” The Blackhawks would love to do their part to rip off a 36-game mark in one season without a regulation loss. The Blackhawks are 20-0-3 for 43 points and have won a franchisebest 10 straight games entering Wednesday’s game against Colorado. They would have to suffer an epic collapse to cough up the Presidents’ Trophy. Winning it all, however, is the ultimate goal. Winning the Cup with some panache would be even sweeter. Only those ex-Flyers, who crafted a new era after the Bullies’ heyday
faded, can appreciate Chicago’s streak. Led by coach Pat Quinn, the Flyers opened the season with a win against the New York Islanders and a loss to the Atlanta Flames. On Oct. 14, 1979, the Flyers topped the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3. The World Series and NFL conference championship games would be decided before the Flyers lost again — 71 to the Minnesota North Stars on Jan. 7, 1980. The record of 28 games set by the 1977-78 Montreal Canadians was passed with a 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Dec. 22, 1979. “When we were at about 20 games, the media picked it up a lot more,” five-time NHL AllStar Brian Propp said. “It became a bigger and bigger deal. From that point on, we were very aware of where we were. Once we got past 29, we kept cruising to 35. It was pretty amazing.” Chicago and Philadelphia’s achievement each come with an
asterisk. Neither streak is an unbeaten one. Without the benefit of shootouts, the Flyers had 10 ties, including three straight, over that span. The Blackhawks lost three shootouts this season, even if a big 0 sits in the official loss column. “It’s definitely a great time right now,” Blackhawks center Marian Hossa said. “Everybody is enjoying coming to practice. We don’t practice as much, but it’s working so far. Everybody is hungry. We have a strong lineup and the guys are playing well.” With 2010 Stanley Cup champion stars Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews leading the charge, the Blackhawks are the heavy favorites to win their second championship in four years. “These guys are just hitting their prime,” Clarke said. “For the next five or six years, they’re going to be tough to beat.” Forget five or six years from now. Ask any team this season.
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Jason Giambi thought he would be a manager this season. Instead, he’s still playing. Giambi drove in two runs and Justin Masterson outpitched Hyun-Jin Ryu on Wednesday, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. After interviewing for the Colorado Rockies’ managerial opening which went to Walt Weiss the 42year-old Giambi signed a minor league deal with Cleveland just ahead of the start of spring training with hopes of playing one more season in an 18-year career. He singled and hit a sacrifice fly to pace the Indians’ offense against the Dodgers. “Jason is not just helping the younger guys,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “(He’s) helping the older guys and me. I’ve already gone to him three times just with questions. He’s not a veteran. He’s THE veteran.” Masterson had a subpar 2012 campaign after shoulder surgery in October 2011. He pitched three-hit ball with four scoreless innings. He struck out three, while inducing three double-play grounders. “In general, I feel better than this time last year,” Masterson said. “Last year we were pushing a little to get back with the shoulder. I got some balls on the ground. I mixed in a few sliders today. It is more or less where we want to be this early in spring.” Ryu agreed to a sixyear, $36 million deal with Los Angeles in December. He allowed two runs and three hits in three innings. The five-time Korean Baseball Organization strikeout leader struck out five. The 25-year old is working on his breaking ball while trying to win one of the three open spots in the Dodgers’ rotation. “Since the first time I pitched against the Angels, I feel that my breaking pitches have improved,” Ryu said through an interpreter.

Hosmer replaces injured Teixeira in WBC SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer has been called upon to replace injured Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira on the United States team for the World Baseball Classic. Hosmer received a text message late Tuesday from Tony Clark of the players union, asking if he’d be interested in a spot on the roster. After getting a call from U.S. manager Joe Torre and receiving the blessing of the Royals, Hosmer quickly agreed to
join the Americans. “It’s a great opportunity,” Hosmer told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “Any chance you get to represent your country, you’re going to jump at the opportunity. So I’m very excited.” Teixeira strained his right wrist while swinging off a tee Tuesday, shortly before the U.S. tied 4-4 with the Chicago White Sox in an exhibition game. X-rays were negative and an MRI exam revealed a strain on the outside of Teixeira’s right forearm,
near his wrist. He flew to New York City and was to be evaluated further Wednesday by Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday night in Tampa, Fla., that Teixeira would be out a minimum of 10 days. “I certainly feel bad for Tex, but it’s one of those things, it just seems like it’s unavoidable,” Torre said Tuesday. “You never want to
wish a thing like this upon any player, especially here in spring training.” Hosmer left the Royals’ spring training complex to catch up with the U.S. team on Wednesday, just in time for a team picture in Scottsdale, Ariz. The U.S. team was then scheduled to play its final tuneup against the Colorado Rockies before starting the tournament. The Americans open Pool D play against Mexico on Friday night in Phoenix. “I don’t know what the situation is or what my role
is going to be,” Hosmer said, “but I’ll get over there and find out. I’m excited to get started.” Torre refused to speculate Tuesday on who might replace Teixeira, but Hosmer made sense. Not only is he already at camp in Arizona rather than having to fly from spring training in Florida but he is also a left-handed hitting first baseman. The U.S. team has lineup loaded with righthanded batters, and Torre said he would try to find someone to provide balance.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 13 A Nathan Kirkpatrick steal, though, turned the tables for good, and the Eagles (24-2) found Salazar open on the other side of the court. Instead of pulling the ball back and running more time off the clock, though, Salazar saw what he had to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a little gap, so I went for it,â&#x20AC;? said the senior, who led all scorers with 24 points and added nine rebounds and three blocked shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw it up just hoping it would go in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it did.â&#x20AC;? Fort Loramie (13-12) closed the gap to five at 61-56 with 21.6 seconds left after a 3 by Seth Guillozet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of three from long range in the final quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but two Salazar free throws put the game away. The Redskins came up empty on the other end, and Salazar streaked the other way for a dunk as time expired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had the opportunity. I had to throw it down,â&#x20AC;? Salazar said. Zawadzki added 16 points, five rebounds and three assists, combining with Salazar to go 8 for 9 from the free throw line in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final two minutes. Spencer Thomas added nine points and seven assists, while Kirkpatrick and Holden Varvel each added six points. It was Troy Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first district title in school history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; directly following their first sectional title, claimed on Friday in a win over Yellow Springs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the goal from Day 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a district title,â&#x20AC;? Ray Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our school hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even ever been in a district title game before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy for these kids. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put so many hours of work into this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that hard work came out in this gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last two minutes.â&#x20AC;? And while Salazar credited four years of hard work by all of the Eagles in the sectional victory, he felt like they had doubled that output in just one game against the Redskins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh heck yeah,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came out fighting, then they fought back hard. But we pushed through it and got the win.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles survived a first half that saw six lead changes and one tie with a 28-25 lead, then a 7-0 run to start the second half gave them total control. Troy Christian only turned the ball over once in the third quarter while forcing five Fort Loramie turnovers to pull ahead by as much as 49-37 early in the fourth.
â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 13 Anna â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a program a lot of people want to emulate. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty good ourselves, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great game.â&#x20AC;?
The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight at Springfield High School, directly following the other regional semifinal between Madison and Fayetteville-Perry.

Troy Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nathan Kirkpatrick drives past two Fort Loramie defenders Wednesday at Trent Arena. But Fort Loramie wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit. Grant Olberding and Guillozet led the Redskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth-quarter charge back into the game. Guillozet scored 12 of his 14 points and Olberding scored 13 of his team-high 20 points in the second half as Fort Loramieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure forced the Eagles to burn through all of their timeouts simply to keep possession of the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Their press) messed us up in the fourth,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During that second timeout, I told the kids to go back to Day 5 of practice and remember the basics of the pressbreaker. I think they were a little too fired up, and it settled them down a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Salazarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup along the baseline, though, fired the Eagles back up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but in a positive way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, momentum just started swinging our way,â&#x20AC;? Salazar said. The win was the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 16th straight, and it sets up a rematch with the last team to defeat them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; undefeated Tri-Village. The Patriots, who beat Seven Hills 71-33 in the other district final and who beat the Eagles 56-40 back on Jan. 11, will face Troy Christian Tuesday at Trent Arena. But just because the Eagles achieved their goal from the start of the season doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of goals.
â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 13 Mo Williams missed a layup that danced around the rim but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop. Irving and the Cavaliers were sleepwalking for more than 45 minutes before finally snapping to life. With Cleveland trailing 100-92, Irving made a gorgeous baseline spin and dropped a short jumper. He then split a pair of free throws and dropped two more to bring the Cavs within 101-97 with 1:40 remaining. Williams, who returned to Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting lineup after missing 32 games with a thumb injury, missed a 3-pointer before Irving converted a threepoint play to bring Cleveland within one. On Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next trip, Irving poked the ball away from Hayward, dribbled up the floor and fed Ellington, who finished strong at the rim to make it 102-101. The play sent a shockwave through the crowd at Quicken Loans Arena that had waited all night for something good to happen. Williams, who spent three seasons with the Cavs, found a lane to the basket but had his poten-
tial go-ahead layup make a full trip around the rim falling. As without Ellington was fouled grabbing the rebound, Williams stared at the basket in disbelief. Ellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two free throws made it 104-101, and Williams was short with a 3-pointer in the final second. It was a crushing loss for the Jazz, who are trying to hold off the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference. Paul Millsap scored 16 points and Alec Burks 14 for the Jazz. Utah coach Tyrone Corbin benched starting forward Marvin Williams for DeMarre Carroll, hoping it would spark Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first unit. But Carroll scored just four points and the Jazz reserves outscored the starters 56-45. Randy Foye scored 11 points in the third quarter, when the Jazz went on a 16-3 run to open a 71-58 lead. With Utah leading 5755, Foye drained a 3-pointer and Utahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team leader from long range hit two more 3s as the Jazz pushed their lead to 74-60.

CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Travis Taylor had 19 points and a career-high 19 rebounds on Wednesday night, and Xavier never trailed in the overtime, beating No. 16 Saint Louis 77-66, ending the Billikensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11-game winning streak and leaving the Atlantic 10 title up for grabs. Xavier (17-12, 9-6 A10) ended a long winning streak for the second time in eight days. The Musketeers snapped Memphisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18-game streak at the Cintas Center last week. The Billikens (23-6, 123) havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a share of a conference title since 1970-71 in the Missouri Valley. Their last outright title came in 1956-57. They could have clinched the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament with a win on Wednesday. Instead, they fell into a
first-place tie with No. 21 VCU, which beat Richmond on Wednesday. Saint Louis beat VCU during its 11-game winning streak for the headto-head advantage. Dayton 75, St. Bonaventure 63 DAYTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Dillard scored 18 points Wednesday night to lead Dayton to a 75-63 victory over St. Bonaventure in Atlantic 10 Conference play. On Senior Night, the senior guard Dillard excelled. He scored 10 of his points in the first half, had eight assists and two turnovers in 35 minutes of play. Fellow senior Josh Benson added 11 points. Dyshawn Pierre scored 12 points, hitting all three 3point attempts. Guard Vee Sanford finished with 14 points and four assists, with one turnover in 25 minutes.

Iowa State 87, No. 13 Okl. St. 76 AMES, Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senior Will Clyburn scored 20 points and Iowa State bolstered its NCAA tournament hopes. Georges Niang added 18 points for the
Cyclones (20-10, 10-7 Big 12), who notched just their second victory over a ranked opponent this season. No. 17 Syracuse 78, DePaul 57 SYRACUSE, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brandon Triche and James Southerland combined for 37 points in the final home game of their careers and Syracuse snapped a threegame losing streak. Syracuse (23-7, 11-6 Big East) broke a rare two-game losing streak in the Carrier Dome. No. 5 Georgetown started it 11 days ago with a 57-46 win that stopped the Orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at the time.
