No front-runner for pope er, took pains to stress the “vast,” near-unanimous decision by the 115 cardinal electors to set Tuesday as the conclave start date and noted that no conclave over the past century has dragged on for more than five days.

“I think it’s a process that can be carried out in a few days without much difficulty,” spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters.

Sistine chimney installed as conclave nears Great Flood changed face of Troy

VATICAN CITY (AP) The Vatican sought Saturday to quash speculation that divisions among cardinals could drag out the conclave to elect the new pope, while preparations for the vote plowed ahead with firefighters installing the Sistine Chapel chimney that will tell the world when a decision

has been reached.

But the specter of an inconclusive first few rounds of secret balloting remained high, with no clear front-runner heading into Tuesday’s papal election and a long list of cardinals still angling to discuss the church’s problems ahead of the vote.

“You don’t have your mind absolutely made up” going into the conclave, U.S. Cardinal Justin Rigali, who participated in the 2005 conclave that elected Benedict XVI, told The Associated Press this week. “You have your impressions.”

One hundred years ago, six days of rain brought death, destruction and disease as well as community support, rebuilding and restoration and changed the landscape of the Miami Valley forever.

The “Great Flood of 1913” began as 9-11 inches of rain fell for six-straight days from March 21 until March 27, 1913. According to historians, the rivers, creeks and ditches overflowed and washed away millions of tons of debris down river. The Great Flood of 1913 killed more than 65 people, left 5,000 people homeless, damaged or destroyed more than 1,000 homes, 264 bridges and damaged miles of railroads and roadways in Northern Miami Valley alone.

Sugar shock New York businesses preparing for soda ban NEW YORK (AP) — At barbecue joints, coffee counters and bottle-service nightclubs, a coming clampdown on big, sugary soft drinks is beginning to take shape on tables and menus in a city that thrives on eating and going out.

Some restaurants are ordering smaller glasses. Dunkin’ Donuts shops are telling customers they’ll have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the new rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing carrot and beet juice as a potential substitute for pitchers of soda at family parties all in preparation for the nation’s first limit on the size of sugar-laden beverages, set to take effect Tuesday.

Some businesses are holding off, hoping a court challenge nixes or at least delays the restriction. But many are getting ready for tasks including reprinting menus and changing movie theaters’ supersized soda-and-popcorn deals.

At Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, customers still will be able to order margaritas by the pitcher, cocktails in jumbo Mason jars and heaping plates of ribs. But they’ll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda, since the new rule bars selling nondiet cola in cups, bottles or pitchers bigger than 16 ounces.

“Everything we do is big, so serving it in a quaint little 16ounce soda cups is going to look kind of odd,” owner Josh Lebowitz said. Nonetheless, he’s ordered 1,000 of them for the North Carolina-themed restaurant’s five Manhattan locations, rather than take on a fight that carries the threat of $200 fines.

The Troy City School District will see a proposed 17 percent increase in state funding in fiscal years 2014 and 2015.

A puzzling equation Small schools suffer under funding formula

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com The numbers aren’t quite adding up for small and rural school districts around the state of Ohio in terms of the month-old “Achievement Everywhere” state education funding plan.

“If you are poor you’re going to get more, if you’re richer you’re going to get less,” Gov. John Kasich said when he first introduced his new school funding formula on Jan. 31, 2013.

A week later, simulation numbers were released and school districts reviewed the state estimates of how much money each district

MIAMI COUNTY

About two-thirds of all districts would see no increase in state funding.

According to State Impact, some Ohio districts that would see increases include wealthy suburban districts — Olentangy and New Albany-Plain in suburban Columbus and Woodridge, Lordstown and Twinsburg in northeast Ohio will see their state funding more than double next year, and increase again in 2015.

For both Troy and Piqua city schools, an increase in state funding has been proposed at 17 percent for fiscal years 2014 and 2015.

“We haven’t seen any different numbers,” said Troy City Schools’ treasurer Craig Jones. “I’m sure there will be some changes.”

Jones, along with school treasurers around the state, is still

would receive.

“When the simulation numbers came in, we were all kinds of shocked,” said Pat McBride, Newton Local School superintendent. “Here’s this printout and none of it lined up. What was said on (Jan. 31) was different than what the simulation was.”

Only two schools in Miami County received increases in state funding. Small and often rural schools were flat-funded at 0 percent where large, suburban and urban schools had double, even triple digit, increases in funding • See SCHOOL FUNDING on A2 percentages.

Schools ready to stage spring shows

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com After a blustery winter, the coming of spring is certainly something to sing about. Thankfully, local high schools are ready to put on a show.

Miami East’s musical “Into the Woods” will be performed at 7 p.m.

March 21-23 in the K-8 building.

“It’s basically a blending of fairy tales, all of them exploring the consequences of the charac1 ters’ wishes and quests,” said

MIAMI COUNTY director/producer Mark Iiames, adding that Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella all are interwoven into the plot.

“It is a significantly difficult show, written by Stephen Sondheim. He’s known to have written some of the more complicated pieces of music available.

The music is the most challenging aspect of the show.”

School on the Rock Homeschool

Co-op will present “Pollyanna” at 7 p.m. March 21-22 and 2 p.m.

March 23 at First Baptist Church, 140 Elva Court, Vandalia. Kelly Snyder, publicity manager for the show, noted that many people know the book but have never seen the musical.

“It’s a very uplifting, encouraging production,” Snyder said. “It’s definitely geared toward families.”

At 7 p.m. March 22-23, Covington High School students will enact “Jolly Roger and the Pirate Queen.”

“It’s about a young noble

woman who becomes bored with the life of leisure and decides to pursue her dreams — and the man of her dreams — by becoming a pirate on the high seas,” said director Bridgit Kerber. “It’s kind of a spoof of ‘Treasure Island.’”

“Don’t Rush Me” will be performed by Newton High School students at 7 p.m. March 15-16.

On Saturday, March 15, audiences may enjoy a dinner before the show, starting at 6:15 p.m. (Doors open at 5:45.)

School funding ■ CONTINUED FROM A1 requesting the mathematical formula that the funding was based on instead of the “philosophy” of the new education budget.

“Having a formula — and the law required the state has to provide us one — would at least give us a way to figure out why the numbers are the way they are,” Jones said.

“It’s all cloaked in a mystery — no one has seen a formula,” McBride said.

For the rest of Miami County schools, 0 percent funding, padded with “guarantee funds,” helped keep rural and often poor socioeconomic schools flat funded. More than $874 million in guarantee funding is part of the governor’s education funding plan.

Guarantee funding flaws As treasurer of three small rural districts, Newton Local Schools’ part-time treasurer Nick Hamilton knows the delicate balance of local, state and federal funding when it comes to public school finances.

Hamilton also is the treasurer for Ansonia Local School and Mississinawa Valley Local School in Darke County.

As currently proposed, Newton Local School will be flat-funded at 0 percent through 2015. The district will receive a major increase of “guarantee funds” or funds that pad the state funding to bring districts back to funding level of years prior.

Legislators also have said these “guarantee funds”

are to be eliminated as early as fiscal year 2015.

In the governor’s proposal, in fiscal year 2014, Newton will have $332,656 of its total $1,980,845 state funding in guarantee funds.

Both Hamilton and McBride said the alarming part of the guarantee funds, is the potential that guarantee monies will be eliminated from future education budgets.

For example, Hamilton said if the guarantee funds are cut in the future, that could essentially slash Newton Local School’s funding by 17 percent after fiscal year 2015.

“We are on a $20,000 guarantee right now using the previous year’s funding level,” Hamilton said.

“To go from $20,000 to $332,000 to me is a flaw in the funding formula.”

Seven other Miami County school districts will have an increase in guarantee funds. The following numbers are the estimated amounts of “guarantee funds” for Miami County Schools: Miami East Local School will have $1.3 million in guarantee funds, Bradford Exempted Village, $200,768; Covington Exempted Village, $214,000; Milton-Union Exempted Village, $502,000; Tipp City Schools, $884,000; and Bethel Local School, $763,000. All guarantee funds are used to bring state funding levels back to 0 percent.

If the above funds are slashed in two years, it could devastate the district’s operating funds, Hamilton said.

Hamilton said state

estimates of student enrollment, from 521 to 516 students in 2014, do not match the funding per pupil to the district (not including open enrollment) and is puzzling as well.

“So they are estimating a five student drop and all of a sudden we are going to be on a $333,000 guarantee because of a five student drop,” Hamilton said. “It’s a flaw in the funding formula.

What it’s doing is putting more schools on the guarantee — it’s just shifting what schools are on it.”

Hamilton said all Mercer County and all Darke County schools, except for Greenville, are now on a guarantee fund.

Hamilton said for schools to be taken off guarantee funding, student enrollment would have to increase, and in Newton Local Schools, it would have to increase dramatically.

“If you are not getting an increase (in overall state funding) you are getting a guarantee,” Hamilton said. “We would need an influx of 100 students before we could even get off a guarantee.”

Jones said Troy City Schools’ funding does not have guarantee funds and has not had to have guarantee funds in the recent past. “(This budget) is based on the $250,000 property value, not based on what kids need,” Jones said.

“Poor districts are not getting what some of the other districts are.”

If guarantee funding is eliminated, small schools like Newton would receive less in state aid

than in years’ prior.

“A guarantee doesn’t keep us at the previous year’s funding level,” Hamilton said. “That concerns me; they are basically taking it away from our (general) funding.”

The funding hurdles and rhetoric are frustrating for Newton’s McBride. The superintendent said state funding, with “guarantee funds” which could be wiped away, makes it hard for small districts to plan financial forecasts.

“Basically in two years they can come back and say, ‘Well, for two years, we propped you up, and we told you it was going to go away,’” McBride said. “So they’ll be able to defend their position, but it’s complicated. It’s more than what we can tell the public in order to get them to understand what’s happening.

Hamilton also broke down Newton’s numbers to show “per pupil funding” will drop $644 per student next year under the governor’s proposal.

“When you take a closer look, the per pupil funding is being cut by 17 percent for Newton Local Schools,” Hamilton said.

“It’s a shell game.”

Hamilton said the funding formula is “all smoke and mirrors.”

McBride said much of his disappointment stems from the wide gap in communication with Kasich’s proposal and his “political gain” speeches prior to the spreadsheets being released to districts.

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” Hamilton said. He even

■ CONTINUED FROM A1 “As long as they keep allowing us to serve beer in glasses larger than 16 ounces, we’ll be OK,” Lebowitz reasoned.

Beer drinkers can breathe easy: The restriction doesn’t apply to alcoholic beverages, among other exemptions for various reasons. But it does cover such beverages as energy drinks and sweetened fruit smoothies.

City officials say it’s a pioneering, practical step to staunch an obesity rate that has risen from 18 to 24 percent in a decade among adult New Yorkers.

Health officials say sugarfilled drinks bear much of the blame because they carry hundreds of calories

suggested the governor rename his “Achievement Everywhere” to “Consolidation Everywhere.”

Hamilton said what people won’t understand in the coming years in the Pleasant Hill community, Miami County and statewide, is how the state went about cutting education budgets and hiding behind the 0 percent increases with funds like the “guarantee” being eliminated in the future.

“Sixty percent of the schools in Ohio are just like us,” McBride said.

“We all will receive zero and most of them are going to be put on a guarantee.”

“I can see their point of the guarantee being unsustainable if you are on one now,” Hamilton said. “But how is it so unsustainable when you were on a small one this year, and then the next year you are on this huge one because of the change in the funding formula.”

McBride said once the budget is finalized and more numbers, including a state-approved funding formula, are available, he plans to educate the community on the changes and how state funding shifts will affect schools like Newton.

The city “has the ability to do this and the obligation to try to help,” the plan’s chief cheerleader, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said last month.

Critics say the regulation won’t make a meaningful difference in diets but will unfairly hurt some businesses while sparing others. A customer who can’t get a 20-ounce Coke at a sandwich shop could still buy a Big Gulp at a 7Eleven, for instance, since many convenience stores and supermarkets are beyond the city’s regulatory reach.

New Yorkers are divided on the restriction. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found 51 percent opposed it, while 46 percent approved.

“I don’t know if the state should be our surrogate parent,” Peter Sarfaty, 71, said as he drank a diet cola with lunch in Manhattan this week. “You get the information out there, but to tell people what they can or can’t do?

As if it’s going to stop them.”

Business organizations ranging from the massive American Beverage Association to a local Korean-American grocers’ group have asked a judge to stop the size limit from taking effect until he decides on their bid to block it altogether. He hasn’t ruled on either request.

Many businesses aren’t taking chances in the meantime.

Monroe trustees accept EPA storm water report For the Miami Valley Sunday News

MONROE TWP.

By a unanimous vote, the Monroe Township Trustees adopted the Environmental Protection Agency’s Phase II Storm Water Management Program 2012 Annual Report as presented at the board’s March 4 meeting. This annual report is prepared by the township’s special projects administrator, Mary Lou Wilson, and it not only focuses on the 2012 report, but also plans by the township for 2013.

The trustees also approved a maintenance and training agreement with Softworks Inc. for $1,195. This software program tracks personnel, vehicle and equipment costs during projects accomplished for the town-

ship throughout the year.

The 2013 spring cleanup for Maple Hill Cemetery and all other Monroe Township cemeteries takes place the week of March 17.

The township maintenance staff will begin removing old arrangements on March 18 and then new arrangements may be placed starting March 24. New spring arrangements in vases attached to monuments or in saddle falls will not be removed. The staff suggests name of the descendant and a contact person be permanently marked on display items so they can be identified and re-placed if blown off the monument during windy weather conditions.

Bills paid at the Monday

evening meeting equaled $29,042.41.

The board also accepted the financial status reports for February 2013 and the bank reconciliation of Jan. 31 as presented by township fiscal officer John Skolnicki.

Residents were reminded of the next Monroe Township Water and Sewer District meeting at 6 p.m.

Monday.

In other reminders, area residents who were unable to attend the Feb. 25 meeting about the County Road 25-A Reconstruction and Widening Project may still submit written questions and concerns to the Tipp City Government Office.

Plans for this project also can be found at the city office.

The next trustees meeting will be 7 p.m. March 18.

Ohio farmers meet with lawmakers in Washington LIMA (AP) — Ohio farmers and agriculture leaders from the state sent a clear message to Congress on their annual lobbying trip to Washington: They want to see a farm bill approved soon.

About 100 Ohio Farm Bureau members took part in the meetings this past week with members of Ohio’s delegation that included a session with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, who told the group that he wants the House to get a farm bill done this year.

The Lima News reports that Boehner wouldn’t give any hints about what would be included in the legislation that sets policy for farm subsidies, rural development and food stamps.

Food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, make up roughly 80 percent of the legislation’s cost.

“The really big fight will be over how big of changes we’re going to make on the SNAP program,” said Boehner, a Republican from southwestern Ohio.

Last year, the Senate

“They won’t invest until they know the rules of the game. Farmers are smart people.

They can figure out how to operate within the rules.”

— Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely and the House Agriculture Committee passed farm bills, but the legislation died at the end of last year’s congressional session after Republican House leadership said they did not have the votes to pass it. The farm law expired in September and was extended until September 2013.

Farmers are eager for it to move to ahead so they can have an idea what safety net needs such as crop insurance will be included.

“We need to save whatever we can of the risk management through crop insurance,” said Rick Tangeman, president of the Auglaize County

Library seeks Piqua Players memorabilia PIQUA — Items from the former Piqua Players community theater group are being sought for the Piqua Library’s archives, available for research by historians.

The memorabilia serve as a snapshot of the Piqua Players, who began performing in 1951. The group flourished and it went on to perform three plays a year for more than 50 years. In more recent times, participation lagged and so did program attendance. The group eventually became unable to fulfill its mission and it disbanded in the early 2000s.

Donation of any memorabilia from the group is appreciated, including scrapbooks, programs, photos, etc. Anyone with materials may contact Mr. Meek at 773-6753, or email him at localhistory@oplin.org.

Farm Bureau.

Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely said farmers need to be able to plan ahead and the lack of a farm bill is getting in the way of that.

“They won’t invest until they know the rules of the game,” he said. “Farmers are smart people. They can figure out how to operate within the rules.”

U.S. Rep. Bob Latta, a Republican who represents northwestern Ohio, said Congress must now start over on the new farm bill.

“That’s not real good news, but that’s where it’s at,” he told the group.

Among other topics brought up during the meetings were water quality regulations and the agricultural guest worker program that’s part of the debate over immigration reform.

“Migrant workers are important to farming across the nation,” said Troy Ernest, Allen County Farm Bureau president.

“We need to protect our borders, but we also need a legal method to bring seasonal workers in and out of our state.”

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Denver Post on China’s hacking: For a decade, the Chinese government’s cyber-espionage activities have been an open secret in Washington.

The hacking and theft of intellectual property were widely known but not publicly discussed by either the companies being victimized or the federal government.

However, with the recent public release of a detailed report by cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which draws a clear line between the Chinese military and extensive hacking activity, the behind-the-scenes drama has taken center stage.

We hope the public discussion, and the president’s strategy to mitigate trade-secret theft, are just the beginning of a broad and multilateral effort to pressure the Chinese, as well as other nations that have been snooping around in corporate systems.

It is unfair for U.S. companies to spend the money and intellectual capital in developing ideas, business plans and sales strategies only to have that information stolen and used by competitors.

In this case, the suspicion is the secrets the Chinese military steals are funneled to state-sponsored companies that compete with U.S. companies in the global marketplace.

Of course, the Chinese government denies having engaged in such activities, but the Mandiant report is well-documented. There would have to be a stunning number of coincidences in play for the Chinese to have been accused in error.

The Obama administration responded to the report with a strategy white paper outlining approaches to the problem. It includes putting offending countries on “watch lists” and urging other countries to join in pressuring bad actors to stop their hacking activities. …

It’s a delicate matter, since there are many issues upon which the U.S. and China need to cooperate to serve mutual interests. But this country must defend its economic interests and find a way to stop aggressive Chinese hackers bent on appropriating some of America’s greatest assets — the creativity and innovation of its people.

The Dallas Morning News on a U.S. trade treaty with the European Union: Presidents are often defined by the surprising moves they make, not the decisions that simply sit well with their supporters.

Ronald Reagan ushered in the end of the Cold War through his meetings with Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of a nation that Reagan long excoriated for its communist dogma. Richard Nixon famously opened up relations with China, even though many conservatives couldn’t believe that he would set foot there. And Bill Clinton stepped out of the Democratic comfort zone and reformed the welfare system. Those three moves not only served a larger good, they also reshaped how many thought of those presidencies.

Barack Obama has a chance to make history through a surprise move of his own. The president announced in his State of the Union address that he wants to create a mega-trade treaty with the 27 nations of the European Union.

Obama’s trade representative, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, deserves credit for passing three trade treaties that the George W. Bush administration negotiated. But Obama has not exactly been a powerful voice for international trade, especially when compared with the last Democratic president, Clinton, who made trade central to his economic agenda.

A deal with Europe could change Obama’s standing in this arena. If he succeeds in crafting a European treaty, he could prove himself a champion of expanding America’s position in the world economy.

A trade treaty with the EU, home to 500 million people, also would open up innumerable possibilities for American companies, agricultural producers and global traders…

American labor and environmental groups should like the pact as well.

They generally are lukewarm to international trade agreements because of the working and ecological conditions in some nations. But Europe has robust labor laws and environmental standards. That should make a treaty more palatable for these special-interest groups. …

Americans would gain much from bold presidential leadership. So would Obama. This proposal is a chance for him to recast his legacy, much like presidents before him have done.

THEY SAID IT “I just enjoy it. The time goes really fast.

The patients are very appreciative and the staff are a lot of fun.

I like helping people.

If everyone would give just four hours a month to volunteering, it would make such a difference.”

— Health Partners Free Clinic volunteer Janie Hershberger “It’s been worse than anything I expected.”

— Former Miami County Maintenance Director Jarrod Harrah, on his time in prison for misuse of taxpayer money “We battled back.

We’ve got a group of disappointed kids that battled and battled for 32 minutes.

There’s not much more you can ask as a coach than that.”

Game launch solidifies EA as America’s Worst Company It’s just a shame corporations never learn from others’ mistakes, much less their own.

The bane of the paying video game consumer’s existence — always-online digital rights management (DRM) — strikes again.

Electronic Arts showed once again why it was voted last year in The Consumerist as the “Worst Company in America.” It released a much-anticipated game on Tuesday, a reboot of its popular city-building and management franchise, SimCity — and left its paying customers who bought it still anticipating the ability to play it in what can only be described as the worst video game launch in history and an unmitigated public relations nightmare.

What went so wrong?

Terrible decisions in the core design of the game — namely, the forced connection to the Internet and EA’s servers.

This has happened before, of course, and with a high-profile release, too. Just last year, Blizzard released the long-overdue Diablo 3, only to see its servers buckle under the weight of all of the people who bought it and logged into their servers — only because they had to.

Three days went by before the game was relatively stable and reliable — an unacceptable amount of time. You

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist paid $60 and expected the game to work on Day 1? Silly customer!

EA learned nothing from that debacle. And now is still in the middle of an even worse one.

SimCity has never been a multiplayer game. It’s always been that game you break out when the Internet goes down or when you’re traveling and can’t connect to anything. But the developers built this one with multiplayer so ingrained that it basically forces you into it.

You build your city, but you can’t really be self-sustaining and have to sign deals with other cities in your region to, say, up your water supply (sound familiar, Troy and Piqua?). So you’re forced to deal with other players to see your city succeed.

And beyond that, not all of the game’s computing is done on your own PC. Your progress is (supposed-

ly) saved on EA’s servers, and they also crunch a lot of the data going on in the game to save your PC’s resources for other things.

Sure, that’s what they say. But no one in the world should believe EA’s company lie, err, line. The only reason the game was built with alwaysonline in mind was as a means of DRM — in other words, to prevent people from pirating the game.

Apparently, EA learned nothing from its own Spore in 2008. EA released the game boasting that it had the most capable (and oppressive to paying customers) DRM in history — only to see the game pirated more times than it actually sold copies.

Note to corporations: Don’t treat your loyal customers like thieves, and they won’t become them.

Respect your fans, or deserve and receive none yourself.

Now Amazon — the world’s largest online retailer — has taken the unprecedented step of not only giving refunds but also has stopped selling the game altogether, telling EA to fix it or else.

But EA isn’t following suit. If you didn’t get the game through Amazon, forget about a refund. Not only is EA refusing refunds, it’s actually THREATENED ITS FANS with lifetime bans for their Origin accounts

(EA’s digital distribution store, through which SimCity runs) if they continue to demand refunds. Which basically means if you’ve bought 20 games through EA’s store, those are 20 games you wasted your money on and will never be able to play again.

All because you wanted your money back after buying a broken product.

As of this writing on Saturday, I’ve been able to play the game for less than a half hour despite constant attempts to get it running. All thanks to EA’s server problems. And while the company says it’s working to add more capacity, it has, for now, disabled game features in an attempt to get it working at all.

So for my $60, even if I get it running, I’m still not getting what I paid for. Maybe $25 worth — IF it worked at all. EA has basically stolen $55.99 from me, because so far I have yet to get even a penny’s worth out of the game. EA owes me money for all of the frustration and wasted time. Not free games, like it’s planning on giving out as a peace offering. My own cash money back and then some.

Maybe EA was just honored by being named Worst Company in America. Because it’s undoubtedly sewn up the award for this year, too.

OBITUARIES

EVELYN L. MARTIN

Tom Raper, owner of Bragg Pawn Shop in Fayetteville, N.C.,talks about small business near Fort Bragg military base Monday. His pawn shop is located on Yadkin Road near a main entrance to the base. More than 8,500 civilian employees on the base will be furloughed one day a week starting in late April, the equivalent of a 20percent pay cut, possibly affecting small businesses near the base.

Businesses in military towns brace for budget hit FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Like many who make their living in the commercial strip outside the gates of Fort Bragg, Mike Thomas is confident the $85 billion in automatic military spending cuts will hurt sales at his used car lot and rim shop.

The vast majority of his customers work on the base, and smaller paychecks means less money for the four-wheel drive Jeeps, chrome wheels and window-rattling sound systems that are his specialty.

While it remains too soon to measure the exact impact for small businesses that thrive on the civilians employed at the nation’s largest military posts, owners already are bracing for the damage. Pentagon officials say the automatic budget cuts that took effect March 1 will result in oneday-a-week furloughs for 800,000 civilian employees across the U.S. starting next month, resulting in a 20 percent cut to their paychecks. Soldiers’ salaries are exempt from the cuts.

About 14,500 of those are at Fort Bragg, the sprawling U.S. Army base outside Fayetteville, N.C., where the commanding general on Friday announced additional cuts that include the closure of a dining hall and selected recreation centers that serve soldiers and their families. About 38 percent of all economic activity in the surrounding county is tied directly to military spending, a total impact of about $5.5 billion a year.

Hand-painted signs at Auto Express, the shop about a half-mile from the base’s main gates where Thomas is the general manager, offer special discounts and financing for U.S. Defense Department

Salesman Donnie Alford talks on the phone in his office at Auto Express in Fayetteville, N.C., Monday. The auto and wheels business is located near a main entrance to Fort Bragg military base. employees.

In addition to the budget cuts, known as sequestration deadlock, Congress could trigger a full federal shutdown later this month.

Thomas expects the cuts will have an impact on his business similar to the military buildup before the 2003 invasion in Iraq, when sales dropped by about half as Bragg’s 82nd Airborne deployed overseas.

“Our business is about 90 percent military,” he said. “This is a military town. It is going to affect us all. When there’s a cut, people are scared to spend. I’ve yet to speak to anybody who thinks this is a good idea.”

In Wichita Falls, Texas, beauty salon owner Angela Ward expects her customers from nearby Sheppard Air Force Base to start cutting back. The facility has about 1,200 civilian workers.

She already offers a 15 percent military discount and offers a $10 men’s haircut each Tuesday. But Ward said she can’t afford to lower prices further, although she knows folks will go without or cut back on luxury items and servic-

es first during tough economic times.

“They will stop coming in as much or won’t have as much done at the salon in one visit,” said Ward, the owner of Crazy Beautiful Salon. “And moms tell us, ‘Take it shorter’ for their boys because they can’t afford to have it cut as often.”

In addition to the employee furloughs, Pentagon officials are also weighing cuts to military contracts, training, construction and maintenance.

Alabama’s Fort Rucker is the Army’s primary base for training helicopter pilots. With 5,850 military personnel and another 6,328 contractors, the massive base is the economic hub for three cities outside its gates: Enterprise, Daleville and Ozark.

Susy Guzman said she already is seeing the effects of budget uncertainty reflected in fewer diners at Brasas Brazil, her family restaurant in Enterprise.

The business is popular with military contractors who work as flight instructors, helicopter mechanics, maintenance workers and administrators.

PIQUA — Evelyn L. Martin, 97, of Piqua, died at 6:05 p.m. Friday, March 8, 2013, at Sterling House of Piqua.

Catholic newspaper draws sharp rebuke from bishop later wrote in an editorial in his own diocesan newspaper that parishioner anger is growing over the NCR’s challenges to Catholic orthodoxy on topics ranging from the ordination of women to contraception.

In the last several years, church leaders have been trying to shore up the religious identity and mission of organizations that call themselves Catholic, including trying to bar groups from saying they have ties with the church if bishops believe the organizations stray from church teaching. Conflict over the issue intensified in the 2008 presidential election, when some Catholic advo-

cacy groups backed Barack Obama despite his support for abortion rights.

Finn, who declined to be interviewed by The Associated Press, wrote in his editorial that a local bishop first asked the paper to remove Catholic from its name in 1968 “to no avail.”

“In light of the number of recent expressions of concern, I have a responsibility as the local bishop to instruct the Faithful about the problematic nature of this media source which bears the name ‘Catholic,’” Finn wrote in The Catholic Key. “While I remain open to substantive and respectful discussion with the legitimate representatives of NCR, I find that my abil-

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A newspaper known for unflinching coverage of the Catholic church scandal was rebuked by a bishop in its own backyard after calling for his ouster in a battle that illustrates tensions between U.S. bishops and groups that call themselves Catholic but aren’t sanctioned by the church.

The National Catholic Reporter, an independent Kansas City, Mo.-based weekly, called for Bishop Robert Finn’s removal or resignation in September, after he was convicted of failing to report suspected child abuse.

Finn, leader of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph,

ity to influence the National Catholic Reporter toward fidelity to the Church seems limited to the supernatural level.”

Thomas Groome, professor of religious education at Boston College, said he was surprised Finn was “picking such a public fight.”

Finn is the highest-ranking U.S. church official convicted of a crime related to the sex abuse scandal. The misdemeanor charge stemmed from the case of an area priest who pleaded guilty in August to producing child pornography. Finn and other church officials knew about photos on the priest’s computer six months before they turned him in.

Groome said the

Catholic Church benefits from publications such as the National Catholic Reporter.

“There are all kinds of ways the church’s position has evolved, and if that’s to happen you need publications like the NCR that raises critical issues, controversial issues, and I think it does that respectfully with a sense of faithfulness to the church’s core teaching,” he said.

NCR, founded in Kansas City in 1964, has been widely lauded for its coverage of the church and garnered widespread recognition for its reporting on child sex abuse in the 1980s. The newspaper, which has a circulation of

Hornish holds off Busch for Nationwide win LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sam Hornish Jr. didn’t know the name of Saturday’s race until he went to the drivers’ meeting for the Sam’s Town 300.

“That’s a pretty good one for me to win,” he thought to himself. “Already got my name on the trophy.”

Hornish survived two restarts in the final 15 laps and held off Kyle Busch to win the

Nationwide Series race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Hornish led 114 laps in his second career Nationwide victory, but needed a strong finish to outrun Busch, the hometown driver who won the Nationwide race last week in Phoenix.

Hornish credited the win to his dominant car, all the more impressive since the drivers got almost no practice on the 1.5-

mile tri-oval due to Friday’s rain.

“You dream about having cars like this,” Hornish said. “I think I used more energy celebrating than I did actually driving the car today.”

Hornish and Busch both went aggressively after the final restart with seven laps to go, with Busch briefly nudging ahead before Hornish reclaimed the lead with five laps left.

school history, Troy Christian’s boys took the next step by holding off a solid Fort Loramie team 65-56 Wednesday at Trent Arena to win the program’s first ever district championship — and, in doing so, earn a trip to the regional tournament.

And it didn’t come easy, either.

The Eagles (24-2) held a double-digit lead over the Redskins in the fourth quarter, but Fort Loramie fought its way back into the game, cutting the lead

DORAL, Fla. (AP) — With one last birdie putt that never looked like it was going anywhere but in the hole, Tiger Woods walked off the Blue Monster in a familiar position.

He had a four-shot lead over Graeme McDowell in the Cadillac Championship, the 17th time on the PGA Tour that he has led by at least four shots going into the final round. Woods has never lost when leading by that much on tour.

Saturday at Doral was a reminder, however, how quickly it all can change.

Woods knocked in a short birdie putt on the 15th hole to put six shots between him and McDowell.

Two holes later, after McDowell chipped in for eagle and Woods found himself staring some 20 feet in the air at his golf ball lodged in a palm tree to the right of the 17th fairway, the lead was cut in half.

Woods saved his best for the final hole.

He drilled a tee shot into the fairway, hit 9-iron to 15 feet and made his 24th birdie of the tournament for a 5-under 67, putting him on the cusp of another World Golf Championship and a big step toward returning to No. 1 in the world.

“After I made birdie on 15, I was looking pretty good with a six-shot lead, and with a drivable par 4,” Woods said. “Two holes later, it’s now cut down to three. I piped a tee shot down there, hit a little 9-iron there and was able to pour that putt in there.”

The ball never came down from the tree, which was about the only thing that didn’t fall his way.

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

Big finish: 4 teams alive, Big Ten title decided today ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — It began on the last day of December, when Michigan State showed up at Minnesota’s Williams Arena on a six-game winning streak and left with a 13-point loss.

Along the way, Tyler Griffey slipped past Indiana, Ben Brust stunned Michigan and Trey Burke stole the show against Michigan State.

Each week brought new drama, and now, one of the most exhilarating Big Ten races in recent memory will finally end — in a most appropriate way.

Indiana can clinch an outright championship today with a win at Michigan, but if the Wolverines prevail, as many as four teams could share the title.

It will be a fitting conclusion after the Big Ten’s heavyweights went through 2½ months of emotional peaks and valleys to reach this last day.

“Do I reflect on how fortunate I am to coach at this

level against these type of players? Yes. It’s an opportunity that every coach would like to have,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “I do try to take a moment in the games, and just look up at the top of the stadium and see how it’s packed to the last row.”

The Big Ten had three teams in the AP’s preseason top five. Now there are four in the top 14 — and 14th-ranked Ohio State has a chance to move up after beating No. 2 Indiana on Tuesday night.

Despite that loss, the Hoosiers still lead the league by a game over Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State. That means the Spartans and Buckeyes are both in an unusual situation: They need to hope Michigan wins.

“It’s my dream that this program is to the point where every year in the last week … we still have a mathematical chance to win a championship,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said after his team

stayed in the race Thursday night with a win over Wisconsin. “What happens, happens. I mean that because we had our chance to do it.”

If it weren’t for Wisconsin’s home loss to Purdue last weekend, an unbelievable five-way tie at the top would be a possibility — but the four teams still in the hunt can also look back on a slip-up or two that could have perhaps been avoided.

Michigan lost to Penn State late last month — it was the first conference win of the season for the Nittany Lions. Indiana let Griffey sneak in for a last-second layup in Illinois’ 74-72 win over the Hoosiers in early February.

Ohio State was blown out by that same Illinois team.

Michigan State was in an early hole because of that 7663 loss at Minnesota.

But all four teams were able to recover. Burke’s steal and dunk in the final minute lifted Michigan over Michigan

State. The fearless point guard has carried the Wolverines at times, emerging as one of the front-runners for national player of the year. His main competition may be another Big Ten star — Indiana’s Victor Oladipo.

The race for Big Ten player of the year may be down to those two, but there’s little doubt about who made the shot of the year. Wisconsin trailed Michigan by three on Feb. 9 when Brust sent the game into overtime with a buzzer-beater from near midcourt. The Badgers went on to win.

Wisconsin fell out of the race Thursday, losing 58-43 at Michigan State. Now the Spartans (23-7, 12-5 Big Ten) need to hope Michigan beats Indiana today.

If that happens, No. 10 Michigan State can tie for the title by beating Northwestern in a game that starts at 6 p.m. local time.

Ohio State (22-7, 12-5) hosts Illinois at 12:30.

Indiana and Michigan start at 4.

“I just want to play well on Sunday. That is where our focus is completely,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said.

“We have one more game to play to end the regular season and that is the only thing that is on my mind and hopefully the only thing on our players’ minds.”

The seventh-ranked Wolverines (25-5, 12-5) rallied past Purdue on Wednesday night.

They now carry not only their own title hopes, but those of the rival Buckeyes and Spartans.

“It’s really weird. You never see those guys in green, or Ohio State, root for you,” Burke said. “It was kind of like the situation we were in last year with Michigan State playing Ohio State.”

At this time last season, Michigan was pulling for Ohio State, which beat Michigan State to create a three-way tie for the Big Ten title between

the Buckeyes, Spartans and Wolverines.

Ohio State already helped Michigan and Michigan State by beating Indiana on Tuesday. But the Hoosiers (25-5, 13-4) had already clinched at least a share of the championship, so they went ahead and cut down the nets at Assembly Hall afterward.

“We earned that right,” Indiana senior Jordan Hulls said. “Obviously, we didn’t like to lose, but we earned that right to cut down the nets. We would have liked to have won but we couldn’t dwell on that.”

Now Indiana has a chance to celebrate its championship with a victory — or the regular season could end with multiple teams at the top.

Either way, the stage is set for a thrilling finish after nobody was able to pull away from the pack.

“It doesn’t totally surprise me because there are so many good teams,” Izzo said. “We were going to beat the daylights out of each other.”

Duke torches UNC Blue Devils ride red-hot start to rivalry win

Cincinnati’s JaQuon Parker shoots over South Florida’s Victor Rudd Saturday in Cincinnati.

UC wins in OT WSU in Horizon title game CINCINNATI (AP) — JaQuon Parker scored five of his 14 points in overtime Saturday, and Cincinnati rallied from an eight-point deficit late in regulation to a 61-53 victory over South Florida.

Cincinnati (21-10, 9-9 Big East) ended the regular season on an upbeat note, trying to generate momentum heading into the conference tournament. The Bearcats lost six of their last nine games, a far different fashion from a year ago.

Wright State 56, Detroit 54 VALPARAISO, Ind. — Miles Dixon hit a baseline jumper from behind the backboard as time expired, lifting Wright State into the Horizon League tournament final with a 56-54 victory over Detroit on Saturday.

Detroit had tied the game on Jason Calliste’s 3pointer with 1:10 to play.

Dixon, who led the thirdseeded Raiders (21-11) with 14 points off the bench, launched his shot while falling out of bounds and was mobbed by his teammates after it went in.

Ohio 58, Miami (Ohio) 54 ATHENS — D.J. Cooper scored 17 points and Ohio overcame a double-digit deficit in the second half to beat Miami (Ohio) 58-54 on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Ohio trailed 44-32 with 11:58 left in the game when Miami’s Geovonie McKnight made a free throw. But the Bobcats answered with a 15-0 run, capped by Cooper’s 3pointer with 7:04 remaining to claim a 47-44 advantage.

Jon Smith, who nearly had a double-double, led the spurt with five points for the Bobcats (23-8, 14-2 M i d - A m e r i c a n

Conference). Smith finished with nine points and 10 rebounds six offensive.

Toledo 78, E. Michigan 67 YPSILANTI, Mich. — Dominique Buckley scored 21 points on Saturday and Toledo clinched a share of the Mid-American West Division title by defeating Eastern Michigan 78-67.

GW 81, Dayton 80 WASHINGTON — Isaiah Armwood’s dunk with 2 seconds left gave George Washington an 8180 overtime victory over Dayton Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Kevin Dillard scored 20 for Dayton.

Butler 67, Zavier 62 INDIANAPOLIS — Rotnei Clarke scored 21 points and Kameron Woods scored 15 off the bench, helping Butler defeat Xavier 67-62 on Saturday night.

Samaj Christon scored 20 points to lead Xavier (17-13, 9-10), and Isaiah Philmore scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.

• Women No. 11 Dayton 75, G. Washington 49 PHILADELPHIA — Andrea Hoover scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds as No. 11 Dayton breezed to a 74-49 victory over George Washington on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament.

Hoover scored 11 points in the first half and Samantha MacKay had 10 of her 12 points for the Flyers, who beat George Washington 80-52 in their only regular-season meeting. Dayton took control with a 12-0 run that gave the Flyers a 23-11 lead 10:25 before halftime.

Kelley Austria scored 13 points for the Flyers and sank 3 of 4 from 3point range, and Jodie Cornelie blocked five shots.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Seth Curry hit his first seven shots during No. 3 Duke’s torrid start, helping the Blue Devils jump to a big lead and beat rival North Carolina 69-53 on Saturday night.

Curry finished with 20 points, while Mason Plumlee turned in his best performance in a month with 23 points and 13 rebounds. That duo provided Duke (27-4, 14-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) all the punch it needed to earn a season sweep of the Tar Heels.

Duke scored the game’s first 14 points, never let UNC (22-9, 12-6) closer than nine and led by 25 points after halftime. The Blue Devils shot 55 percent, including 18 for 26 (69 percent) in a first half that silenced a once-rowdy Smith Center crowd.

UNC had gone 6-1 since going to a four-guard lineup in the first meeting, but the Tar Heels looked rattled once the Blue Devils charged in front, and North Carolina never recovered.

Baylor 81, No. 4 Kansas 58 WACO, Texas — Pierre Jackson had 28 points and 10 assists as Baylor finished the regular season with a victory that kept Kansas from winning the outright Big 12 title.

Cory Jefferson added 25 points for Baylor (18-13, 99 Big 12), the 6-foot-9 junior forward combining his usual powerful dunks with his first three career 3pointers.

Even after its worst loss in seven years, Kansas (265, 14-4) will still be the No. 1 seed for next week’s conference tournament in Kansas City, and now has at least a share of the last nine Big 12 regular-season titles. The Jayhawks had won the previous four outright, but have to share this one with rival Kansas State.

Ben McLemore had 23 points for Kansas, whose only lead came when the freshman made a layup only 5 seconds into the game.

The Jayhawks, who had a seven-game winning streak, knew they already had at least a piece of the Big 12 title after ninthranked Kansas State earlier Saturday at No. 13 Oklahoma State. But the KU loss gave the rival Wildcats a share of their first regular-season conference title since 1977 in the Big Eight.

No. 5 Georgetown 61, No. 17 Syracuse 39 WASHINGTON — Georgetown emphatically ended its Big East rivalry against Syracuse, wrapping up the regular-season title by holding the Orange to the lowest scoring output of their time in the conference.

North Carolina’s Dexter Strickland defends as Duke’s Seth Curry (30) shoots during the second half in Chapel Hill, N.C. Saturday.

On an afternoon when Otto Porter Jr. didn’t make a field goal until the second half, Georgetown used stifling defense to dominate Syracuse.

Porter finished with 10 points, but the national player of the year candidate contributed in plenty of other ways, as usual, with eight rebounds and seven assists.

No. 6 Miami 62, Clemson 49 CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Down to its third try and last chance, Miami came through.

Kenny Kadji scored a season-high 23 points to help the Hurricanes win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship outright by beating Clemson.

No. 8 Louisville 73, No. 24 Notre Dame 57 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Gorgui Dieng had 20 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks to help Louisville earn a share of the Big East Conference title with a victory over Notre Dame.

No. 13 Okl. State 76, No. 9 Kansas St. 70 STILLWATER, Okla. — Le’Bryan Nash scored 24 points, Marcus Smart added 21 and Oklahoma State beat Kansas State.

Kentucky 61, No. 11 Florida 57 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Julius Mays’ two free throws with 9.4 seconds

remaining capped Kentucky’s comeback from a seven-point deficit for a victory over Florida that boosted its NCAA tournament prospects.

Air Force 89, No. 12 N. Mexico 88 AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Todd Fletcher hit a 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds remaining to lift Air Force over New Mexico.

Tony Snell’s 3-point attempt from the right wing clanged off the iron as time expired, and Falcons fans stormed the court to celebrate the program’s first win over a top 12 team. Fletcher’s clutch shot came seconds after New Mexico’s Kendall Williams missed the back end of a 1-and-1.

No. 15 Marquette 69, St. John’s 67, OT NEW YORK — Vander Blue’s driving layup dropped through as the overtime buzzer sounded, giving Marquette a victory over St. John’s and a share of the Big East regular-season championship, its first title since joining the conference in 2005-06.

No. 16 Saint Louis 78, La Salle 54 ST. LOUIS — Dwayne Evans had 16 points and 17 rebounds, and Saint Louis hit 17 of its 20 shots in the second half to clinch a share of the Atlantic 10 title with a victory over La Salle.

No. 18 Arizona 73,

Arizona St. 58 TUCSON, Ariz. — Nick Johnson scored 17 points, Solomon Hill added 12 in his final home game and Arizona earned a firstround bye in next week’s Pac-12 tournament with a rout of rival Arizona State.

Utah 72, No. 19 Oregon 62 SALT LAKE CITY — Jason Washburn had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Jarred DuBois added 15 points and several key baskets down the stretch to propel Utah past Oregon.

No. 20 Pittsburgh 81, DePaul 66 ROSEMONT, Ill. — J.J. Moore scored 21 points off the bench and Pittsburgh shot a school-record 72 percent to beat DePaul in the Panthers’ last Big East regular-season game.

No. 23 UCLA 61, Washington 54 SEATTLE — Shabazz Muhammad scored 21 points, Larry Drew II came up with another huge shot against Washington, and UCLA clinched the Pac-12 Conference regular-season title with a win over the Huskies.

No. 25 Memphis 86, UAB 71 MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Joe Jackson had 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds to help Memphis complete an undefeated season in Conference USA with a victory over UAB.

Cadillac ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 are personal records for Woods. More importantly, it put him in great position to win his 17th WGC title, and his first since 2009.

“He controlled every part of his game very well, very few loose shots,” said McDowell, who did well to two-putt for par from 85 feet on the last hole for a 69 that at least kept him in AP PHOTO final group for Sunday.

“You know, 17 was a Tiger Woods pumps his fist after making birdie putt on the 18th hole during the third round of the Cadillac really bad break for him.

Championship Saturday in Doral, Fla. But in true Tiger fashion

that we’ve become very accustomed to over the years, to come back and birdie the last, he was fantastic today,” he said.

“So maximum respect there. He’s going to be a tough man to catch tomorrow. I get to watch it and get to see him, and hopefully get a chance to get close to him tomorrow.”

Woods has a 39-2 record when he has the outright lead going into the final round on the PGA Tour.

The only time he has ever

lost a lead of more than two shots in any tournament around the world was in 2010 against an 18man field at the Chevron World Challenge, when McDowell beat him in a playoff.

McDowell certainly was up for the fight on a breezy, sunny afternoon near Miami. Despite a shaky stretch of holes that appeared to end his chances, he drove just over the green on the par-4 16th and chipped in for eagle,

and hit that putt across the 18th green that amazed even Woods.

“He hit a hell of a putt,” Woods said.

Woods was at 18-under 198.

Phil Mickelson, who badly wanted to get into the final group, overcame a three-putt from 4 feet for double bogey on the third hole by making four birdies the rest of the way.

He had a 69, along with Steve Stricker, and both were five shots behind.

Eagles ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 to four at 53-49 with two minutes to play.

Troy Christian responded to the run with six straight points of its own, sealing the game during clutch moments with big plays under pressure.

“We knew it was going to be a physical game, and when a team gets down, they play even harder than they have for the previous three quarters.

That’s exactly what Fort Loramie did,” Zawadzki said. “At first the guys weren’t really ready for how hard they’d come back at them — but that adjustment the guys made mentally to get control back was exciting to see.

“A lot of times once that snowball gets rolling, it’s impossible to stop. But the guys pushed it back up the hill.”

Which all leads up to Tuesday’s game at Trent Arena against undefeated Tri-Village.

With the Eagles on a 16-game winning streak, the last team to beat them was the 26-0 Patriots. Troy Christian struggled from the field but still did some things well in a 56-40 loss on Jan. 8 at Tri-Village.

Now, the Eagles will be looking to put all of the pieces together at once.

“We played for 32 minutes and only had four turnovers the first time we played them, and we held them 18 points under their scoring average at that time,” Zawadzki said of the first meeting. “But we were also 4 for 27 from the field in the first half, while they shot better than 50 percent.

“We know we’re going to get shots. We’ve just got to rebound and find a way to cut their shooting percentage.”

And that all starts with Kyle Pipenger, who comes in averaging 21 points per game. It doesn’t end there, though, as the Patriots have a reputation for being explosive and able to go on a double-digit run at a moment’s notice.

“We really have to execute well on the offensive

side, and defensively we’ve got to make sure certain people don’t get certain looks. We need to force their guys into doing things they’re not used to doing, that they’re not comfortable doing. And one of our focal points will be stopping Pipenger.”

They just don’t want to stop doing great things

quite yet.

Steelers dump Harrison in cap move PITTSBURGH (AP) — James Harrison’s snarling tenacity made the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker one of the NFL’s most intimidating players for nearly a decade.

Big hits — some legal, some not so much — also turned the outspoken fivetime Pro Bowler into focal point for a league-wide crackdown on helmet-to-helmet contact.

Harrison’s outlaw image made him beloved in Pittsburgh but reviled elsewhere. His onerous contract, however, no longer worked for a team with serious salary cap issues. The Steelers released the former Defensive Player of the Year

on Saturday when the two sides could not agree on a more cap-friendly deal.

“It’s been a great run but all good things must come to a end,” Harrison posted on his Twitter account Saturday afternoon. “Thank you Steelers Nation I will miss you all!”

Pittsburgh general manager Kevin Colbert and Harrison’s agent Bill Parise had spent the last few days trying to iron out a new deal but couldn’t reach any common ground. Harrison was entering the final two years of a $51-million extension he signed in 2009 and was scheduled to make $6.57 million in 2013.

Instead, Harrison — who turns 35 in May — will find himself looking for work for the first time since he became a fixture on the right side of Pittsburgh’s 3-4 defense in 2006.

“James has been an integral part of our success during his years in Pittsburgh and has helped us win two Lombardi trophies during that time,” Colbert said in a statement. “We appreciate all of his efforts and wish him the best.”

Harrison is the first cap move by the Steelers this offseason as they try to get under the $123 million salary cap by Tuesday, when the new league year begins.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and linebacker Lawrence Timmons have restructured their contracts to help get Pittsburgh under the cap number but Colbert told reporters after the Steelers finished a disappointing 8-8 in 2012 “terminations” would also be necessary.

This isn’t the first time the Steelers have released a star to save money. They let go wide receiver Hines Ward and linebacker James Farrior last spring, but unlike Ward and Farrior — who both retired rather than sign elsewhere — Harrison remains intent on playing in 2013.

■ CONTINUED FROM A7 Dodge to Ford in the offseason.

Hornish also snapped a 36-race winless streak in his Ford in his 69th Nationwide race overall.

Hornish hadn’t won since November 2011 at Phoenix. His crew chief, Greg Erwin, won his first Nationwide race.

Busch dominated last week’s race, but his Toyota couldn’t catch up to Hornish despite plenty of cagey racing. Hornish had nearly a three-second lead over Busch before the first of the final two cautions.

“Sam was just that much faster than us,” said Busch, who finished in the top 10 for just the second time in 10 races in Las Vegas. “He was beating us a little bit everywhere, all the

way around the race track.

Certainly, when he stepped on the gas, that thing would go forward in a hurry. Us two were the class of the field, but he was the class of everybody.”

Pole sitter Brian Vickers finished third, with Trevor Bayne fourth — despite an early brush against the wall — and Elliott Sadler fifth. Travis Pastrana came in 10th, four spots ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Vickers echoed Busch’s praise of Hornish’s superior car.

“I couldn’t move around much,” said Vickers, a top10 finisher three times in six Vegas races. “The car would get out from under me. Seemed like Sam could not only get through the bumps, but he could run top through bottom.”

■ National Hockey League

Jackets ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 long enough to have success.”

His Wings will get a redo at home today when they host Columbus, whose fans are actually looking at the playoff standings for the first time in years.

The Blue Jackets have 10 points in their last six games after getting 12 in their first 19.

Last in the league by a wide margin not so long ago, the Blue Jackets are incredibly within reach of the final postseason spot in the West after winning four in a row and earning points in their last six.

They’ve clawed their way back by playing blue-collar, scrambling, gritty hockey short on talent but off the charts in hard work.

On top of that, Columbus is 3-0-1 against the Red Wings this season.

“We just play the game

that they don’t want to play,” said Derick Brassard, who set up Jack Johnson’s power-play goal that made it 2-0.

For a change, they didn’t have to work overtime.

They had gone to extra time in their previous five games.

“It’s nice to play 60 minutes instead of 65,” Foligno said with a laugh, after scoring the final goal off Kyle Quincey’s turnover.

Bobrovsky, acquired in a trade with Philadelphia last summer for secondand fourth-round picks, earned his first career shutout in his 99th NHL game and 16th with Columbus. He was at his best in the third period, stopping difficult shots by Niklas Kronwall, Drew Miller and Pavel Datsyuk.

“I didn’t know that,” Bobrovsky said when told the shutout had come just before his 100th game. “I never watch statistics.”

MIAMI VALLEY SUNDAY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

At 60, Peeps more popular than ever BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — It’s Easter morning. A boy rouses his younger brother, and they run to the living room to find their baskets filled with — what else? — Peeps.

“Peeps are THE candy of Easter,” the excited boy tells his wide-eyed sibling, who pops a yellow marshmallow chick in his mouth.

“You can eat ‘em, smash ‘em, microwave ‘em, deep fry ‘em, roast ‘em on a stick,” the boy explains. That’s not all. You can make “historically accurate Peeps dioramas … Peeps pop art … You can make a Peeps topiary.”

On he goes, all day and night. “Peeps jousting … hide-and-go Peeps …

Peepshi … that’s sushi made out of Peeps.”

As the storied candy brand celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, Peeps’ first TV ad in a decade captures an essential truth about the spongy confection made of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin: Love them or hate them, people do all sorts of things with Peeps, only some of which involve giving them to kids at Easter or eating them straight from the box.

And they’re not shy about sharing.

“Everyone seems to have a Peeps story,” says Ross Born, third-generation operator of Just Born Inc., which hatches 5 million Peeps a day at its plant 60 miles north of Philadelphia.

“And they are free and willing to talk about how they eat their Peeps, how they cure them, how they store them, how they decorate with them. And these are adults!”

Just Born calls it the “Peepsonality” of consumers who buy Peeps not only to eat, but also to play around with.

“If you had asked me about this 25 years ago, I would’ve been rather bewildered about the whole thing,” Born confesses. “We were candy makers.”

Not that he’s complaining. Just Born had its best year financially in 2012.

His grandfather,

across all brands. And Shaffer sees more growth potential as the confectioner works to position its products in warehouse clubs and convenience stores.

Just Born certainly benefits from being part of a $33 billion candy industry that is seen as basically recession-proof, offering an inexpensive indulgence during tough economic times.

“Candy did not seem to take the hit that some other industries faced in recent years. We think a big reason for that is candy’s place in our hearts and minds,” says Susan Whiteside of the National Confectioners Association, a trade group.

Long associated with Easter, Peeps have penetrated the pop-culture consciousness in a way that other candy brands have not.

Aficionados send chicks into battle in a microwave “sport” known as Peeps jousting. They enter Peeps art contests, dozens of which are held around the country this time of year.

They innovate recipes like “Peepza,” a desert pizza.

They write cheeky blog entries with titles like “101 Fun Ways to Torture a Peep.”

While the company churns out more than 1 billion Peeps this Easter season — a record — it sees the 60th anniversary as another marketing opportunity and a chance to connect with its fans via social media. In addition to the TV ad campaign, it’s promoting a Facebook survey that asks knowing questions like this one: Do you like your Peeps fresh, frozen, or “aged to perfection”?

So which is it, Ross Born? Fresh or stale?

He’s happy to address that perennial Peeps debate. Just don’t ask him to take sides.

“There’s a lot of gray area here,” Born says diplomatically. “You’ve got people way on one side, and way on the other side, but there are a whole lot of people in the middle.”

In this Feb. 13 photo, Roger Hildebeitel inspects Peeps as they move through the manufacturing process at the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa. With the storied candy brand celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, a quirky new TV ad campaign talks about all the things people do with their Peeps.

Russian immigrant Sam Born, started the candy company out of a Brooklyn storefront 90 years ago.

Born advertised the freshness of his product with a sign that said “Just Born.”

The name stuck.

The burgeoning business moved to Bethlehem and acquired the Peeps brand with its 1953 purchase of Rodda Candy Co. of Lancaster. Best known for its jelly beans, Rodda had also introduced a small line of marshmallow chicks and bunnies, employing dozens of women who handsqueezed them out of pastry bags. “It was really very difficult, and these women were strong,” said David Shaffer, Sam Born’s nephew and co-CEO along with Ross Born.

Ross’s father, Bob Born — a physicist and engineer by training — automated the process in the mid1950s, and a version of the machine he invented is still in use today, extruding mil- Gail Counterman adjusts a Peeps box as it move lions of those familiar through the manufacturing process at the Just Born shapes on peak-Peep pro- factory in Bethlehem, Pa.

duction days.

The company, whose other brands are Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, and Peanut Goldenberg’s Chews, has never suffered an unprofitable year. But its growth has always been relatively slow, steady and controlled, and a few years ago, Born and Shaffer decided they wanted to accelerate it.

The longtime partners brought in a new management team, spent heavily on marketing and broke back into the chocolate business, introducing chocolate-dipped Peeps as well as Peepsters, small chocolate candies filled with marshmallow-flavored cream.

(New for this year is a yellow chick nestled in a hollow chocolate egg.) They also focused on holiday seasons other than Easter, particularly Christmas.

The result: Shaffer says last year was “off the charts.” While Just Born is privately held and does not disclose revenue, he says it posted double-digit growth

Even Main Street was flooded in 1913.

Swept into history Great Flood changed face of Troy

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com ne hundred years ago, six days of rain brought death, destruction and disease as well as community support, rebuilding and restoration and changed the landscape of the Miami Valley forever.

The “Great Flood of 1913” began as 9-11 inches of rain fell for six-straight days from March 21 until March 27, 1913.

According to historians, the rivers, creeks and ditches overA view of the flood from Market Street in downtown Troy. flowed and washed away millions of tons of debris down river. The Great Flood of 1913 killed more than 65 people, left 5,000 people homeless, damaged or destroyed more than 1,000 homes, 264 bridges and damaged miles of railroads and roadways in Northern Miami Valley alone.

The grassy, rolling levee along the Great Miami River in downtown Troy now holds river waters back and provides space for recreation.

Yet 100 years ago, where the Troy High School baseball fields are located at Staunton Road and Market Street, the mostly African-American community of Nineveh succumbed to the river waters, and several people were killed.

Historical accounts state the community of Nineveh was where cries for help were heard for miles.

Accounts of people clinging The Troy Foundry was destroyed by the flood of 1913. to trees, as well as pictures and historical facts surrounding the city of Troy, can be found in the Troy Historical Society’s book called “Troy and the Great Flood of 1913.”

The book features historical accounts of the damage and destruction the flood waters brought to the city of Troy.

Local historian and author Scott Trostel also wrote two books about the 1913 flood and contributed to the Troy Historical Society book.

“Letters from the Attic: Stories from the victims of the 1913 flood in western Ohio” was published and released on March 6. “Letters from the Attic” details the accounts of those who survived the Great 1913 Flood and their letters The 1913 flood washed out a set of railroad tracks. written to friends and family

Trostel also authored the book, “And Through the Black Night of Terror: The 1913 Flood in the Northern Miami Valley,” which details the destruction the flood waters caused, including 65 deaths. They included 20 men traveling on a work train in the Northern Miami Valley.

“The worst of the flood happened from Piqua to Hamilton,” Trostel said. “The west end of Troy, the southwest end of Troy, was really under water.”

Trostel said the entire region was caught unprepared for the flood.

For some, business start-up life begins at 50

BY VIRGINIA BRIDGES Raleigh News and Observer At 52, corporate veteran Bob McEwen and his wife sold their home and moved into a friend’s basement so they could cover payroll for their young commercial sign company.

“It’s very humbling,” McEwen said.

A year earlier, McEwen had lost his six-figure salary after being laid off, ending a 22-year career that included working with missile systems and mortgage products.

During his frustrating and unsuccessful job search, McEwen attended a franchise expo and decided to invest in a Signworld business.

He opened SignCraft Solutions in Wake Forest in August 2009. “It just felt right,” said McEwen, now 54.

McEwen is among a growing number of baby boomers — people born between the years 1946 to 1964 — who are turning to small business opportunities as a way to build a new career, supplement retirement, or give them a way to spend their time.

Research conducted by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation indicates that the percentage of firms created by Americans ages 55 to 64 grew more than any other age demographic, up 6.6 percent to 20.9 percent in 2011 compared to 14.3 percent in

Bob McEwen, owner of SignCraft Solutions, started the business after he was laid off and couldn't find a job.

1996. Firms created by entrepreneurs ages 45 to 54 rose 3.8 percent since 1996.

The trend is somewhat predictable considering the number of baby boomers reaching retirement age mixed with an economy that has limped through the past six years, said Michele Markey, vice presiof Kauffman dent FastTrac, an arm of the Kauffman Foundation that provides training and resources to prospective and current entrepreneurs.

Some boomers are turning to franchising, while

others use existing skills to start a business from scratch. Regardless of the motivation, Markey said, starting a business requires consideration and planning, especially for boomers.

“Their (business) onramp and off-ramp are much closer together,” Markey said. “The biggest mistake is not spending adequate time planning.”

New boomer entrepreneurs need to understand how much money they are willing to invest, how long it will take to reap finan-

cial benefits, and when they’ll be able to exit the business, she said.

They also need to be realistic about the level of commitment a new business will take, surround themselves with resources and mentors, and build a network of support, Markey said. Solid financial advice is also critical, she said.

Jane Bryant Quinn, AARP Bulletin columnist and author of “Making The Most of Your Money Now,” said that training and an excellent business plan are

key for boomers who are starting a business because of a need to build or supplement their income.

“At your age, you are going to be spending significant money to buy yourself a job and if that fails, if that doesn’t go well, you are going to be very hardput 10 years from now,” Quinn said.

Kerry Dyer, who has 25 years of accounting management experience, decided to start her own firm in July 2010 after being laid off twice in three years.

Dyer, 54, initially started applying for jobs, but was told she was overqualified or the employer wouldn’t believe her when she said she would take less pay, she said.

“Finally I said, ‘If I am going to make that little pay, I might as well work for myself and do something I enjoy doing,’ ” said Dyer, whose certified public accountant firm caters to businesses making less than $3 million in revenue and have up to 10 employees. She obtained one client after she sent letters to friends and family. She met her second through her church. Then she joined a networking group.

“That was probably the best move I ever made,” Dyer said.

The advantages of building her own firm include working with other business owners who

RESOURCES • AARP: aarp.org • SCORE: score.org • Ewing Marion Kauffmann Foundation: kauffman.org • SBA 50+ Entrepreneurs: sba.gov/content/50-entrepreneurs

are passionate about their business, and being able to control every aspect of her business, Dyer said.

Back at SignCraft Solutions, “there were days we didn’t know how we were going to cover payroll,” McEwen said.

“We ended up going more and more in debt.”

McEwen worked 65-hour weeks, and didn’t earn a paycheck for two years.

But now, finances have become stable, and the business has continued to expand.

“Within the next couple of years, we expect our business to be grossing a million dollars or more,” McEwen said.

Recently, a friend reached out to McEwen and said there was an open position at a regional bank. “I had to think about that for a second,” McEwen said. “I felt like no, I don’t want to do that.

I am committed to this.

This is my lifestyle. This is where I want to be.”

PARENTING

Sunday, March 10, 2013

Teen bodybuilder has one focus: results

ments, diets and workouts.

They gave him a part-time job at the store.

“He realizes the time it takes, he realizes what it means,” said Gelling. “You talk to him and you think, ‘They don’t raise kids like that anymore.’ “ At first his parents — dad George works for National Gypsum Co. and mom April is a legal secretary — didn’t know what to make of his aspirations.

“He didn’t get it from me,” said April Vogel. “I like the chocolate.”

Themselves fit, the couple were impressed with their son’s transformation

from shy teen to showman.

“I’m amazed by his self-discipline,” said George Vogel, sitting recently in his living room with April and Josh.

Josh, who had to remind his parents they once worried he was overdoing it, has gotten stricter with himself.

In the beginning, “I kind of cheated. I thought if I had salad and chicken it allowed me to have a cookie,” he said. “Now, I go 12 weeks without touching junk food. That’s how long it takes me to diet down.”

Diet down?

“Get shredded,” he explained.

“Get that magazine look,” said his father.

Josh said he has never hurt himself lifting weights. The last time he saw his pediatrician was for a flu shot last year, he said, and she remarked how impressed she was by his diet and physique. He checks his blood pressure routinely and it’s always fine. His body fat, which he measures with calipers, ranges from 4.5 percent to 8 percent, depending on how close he is to show time.

Male Olympic 100meter sprinters have between 6 and 8 percent body fat, according to a 1999 medical study.

Athletic teenage boys tend to have at least 10 percent body fat, said Dr. Brian Knox, a University of South Florida Health professor who sees adolescents

at a clinic for weight management and eating disorders. “Below 5 percent is concerning,” as it could signal excessive exercise in a very muscular person, he said.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that teens avoid competitive weightlifting and bodybuilding “until they reach physical and skeletal maturity.” But it also says there’s no evidence that lifting stunts growth.

Still, said Knox, too much time in the gym can put teens at risk for injuries. Excessive exercise also can be a sign of bodyimage issues that could lead a teen to try steroids.

Josh said he has never taken steroids. But he has been accused of it, and that hurts.

Strangers have looked at his photographs on bodybuilding websites and declared that he must be “juiced.” People come up to him, point out his teenage acne and ask if it’s due to steroids.

“That really bothered me for a while,” he said.

But he said steroid use is common in his world.

Andrew Bostinto, president of the National Gym Association, agrees.

Though more teens are lifting weights, he said fewer are entering bodybuilding meets his group hosts because they test for steroids.

Josh rarely enters socalled “natural” contests, not because he fears the tests, he says, but because he wants to prove that he can win against teens and men who use steroids.

“I feel confident enough that I can compete with those guys and do just as well,” he said. “I work out harder, I diet harder.”

Images of men in popular culture have grown increasingly lean and muscular in recent decades, the Pediatrics study noted.

Just as airbrushed models in fashion magazines have launched countless girls into self-scrutiny, so have these masculine images fueled boys’ dissatisfaction with their own bodies.

Michael Ormsbee, an assistant professor of sports nutrition at Florida State University, said there’s even a term to describe the condition of some males who never think they’re big enough: bigorexia.

“He looks into the mirror,” said Ormsbee of the well-developed man with bigorexia, “and sees a skinny person.”

BY JODIE TILLMAN Tampa Bay Times GIBSONTON, Fla. — Young ambition takes many forms. Josh Vogel’s is compact and bulky and rises before dawn to mix powdered protein shakes and cook chicken.

At 17, Josh is a competitive bodybuilder, an identity that shapes his days. He measures his food in cups and ounces. He discusses proper form for calf exercises on his Facebook page. At a birthday party last year, he skipped the cake and ate only tuna.

It was his own birthday.

“I don’t think I ever stop thinking about it,” he said of his fitness regimen.

But is it healthy to be so health-conscious?

What should we make of teens who adopt nearly ascetic lifestyles, not just for the payoff of a fourth-quarter touchdown or a top score on the gymnastics beam, but for the payoff of an exquisite body?

According to a study published in the journal Pediatrics in November, we should be a little concerned. The authors said boys are obsessing over unattainable bodies, just as girls have long been known to do. And while girls’ struggles with weight loss are well-known, researchers said boys too eager to bulk up — a phenomenon often called “bigorexia” — are prone to risky behavior, such as illegal steroid use.

“Care should be taken to emphasize moderation in behaviors and to focus on skill development, fitness and general health rather than development of a muscular appearance,” the authors wrote.

But what does moderation mean when you’re a 17-year-old boy with a purpose?

Josh is soft-spoken and serious, a kid who shakes hands and says “ma’am” and “sir.” He graduated from East Bay High School a year early, with academic honors. He takes classes at Hillsborough Community College, works two jobs and offers training advice on the side. He’s in bed by 11 p.m.

He is 5-foot-4, but moves like a bigger man, holding his shoulders back and walking with the precision required of someone with 27-inch thighs. He often speaks with the austerity of a teenage boy — or, perhaps, of a careful politician making his first public remarks.

Josh Vogel works out at a Fitness for $10 gym. Vogel participated in his first powerlifting contest in January.

What does he enjoy about bodybuilding?

“Results.”

Is he dating anyone? “I choose not to.”

He’s a different person on the stage. During last year’s National Physique Committee amateur bodybuilding contest in Orlando, Fla., Josh flashed a toothy grin for judges as he showed off his biceps, pointed his toes and flexed his back until it rippled — all while keeping beat to Whitney Houston’s version of “I Will Always Love You.” Josh says he was a skinny middle-school kid whose main activity was playing guitar in his room. But once in high school, he saw that the popular, older boys were getting ripped.

He joined the wrestling team and shrank to a very lean 105 pounds. He thought about going for something different after he saw the muscle magazines his brother Justin brought home.

“They had these huge guys on the front,” Josh said. “I thought it was cool, I just thought it was different.”

As he worked out and changed his diet, his body changed. Josh’s father and brother are wiry. But Josh was starting to resemble his barrel-chested grandfathers.

He was hooked.

One day Josh went into Southern Muscle, a supplement shop in Brandon, Fla., and told co-owner Anneliesa Perez he had a

goal.

“He said, ‘I want to be a bodybuilder,’” Perez recalled. “You think, he’s 14 years old and he’s not going to take it seriously.”

She laughs now — at herself.

Josh grew. Between his freshman and sophomore years, he went from 105 pounds to 125 pounds. The next year he got to 140.

Now, he’s around 180.

Most of what Josh learned came from the owners of Southern Muscle, Perez and Jarrod Gelling, both bodybuilders. They became his mentors, suggesting protein supple-

Art deco style, music and more in Tulsa TULSA, Oklahoma (AP) — As an Oklahoma transplant —a native New Englander who moved here for love — I’ve had fun getting to know the Sooner State. I also host the occasional out-of-town visitor, so I’m always on the hunt for colorful history, interesting art, quirky shopping and a great meal. I have found it all, plus some surprises, in Oklahoma’s second-largest city: Tulsa.

Tulsa was initially occupied by Native American tribes forced to relocate here from their home territories by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. But the modern city was built from oil money in the early 20th century. There was already a railroad station here serving the cattle industry when oil was discovered in nearby Red Fork in 1901, so Tulsa became the logical place for oilmen from tycoons to middlemen to so-called wildcatters looking for the next big well to settle with their families.

What you find here now is an eclectic mix of new and old: artsy hangouts that show off Tulsa’s thriving hipster culture as well as well-preserved historic gems that harken back to the oil boom of the early 1900s. As somebody who seeks out both highbrow art and underground subculture, I love this about Tulsa.

At first glance, downtown Tulsa can seem quiet and a little rugged at the edges. But if you know where to go and you practice the art of looking up at the buildings instead of down at your feet, you’ll find a great display of art deco architecture and other turn-of-the-century styles.

Tulsa was a “young city … experiencing unprecedented growth and prosperity in the Roaring Twenties, just as the Art Deco movement came into vogue,” according to the Tulsa Preservation Commission’s website. “Flush with oil money, prominent Tulsans started building the skyscrapers that would spur one of the pre-eminent Art Deco collections in the United States.”

The most striking example of Tulsa’s art deco treasures might be the Boston Avenue Methodist Church, 1301 S. Boston Ave. You can’t miss its 258-foot (79meter) tower, holding court at the city’s southeastern edge. Somehow the building, erected in 1929, manages to look like a church and a skyscraper all at once.

Straight down Boston Avenue from the church sits another beauty: the Philtower Building, 427 S. Boston Ave., which was commissioned by prominent oilman Waite Phillips and opened in 1928. Look for the gargoyles above the Boston Avenue entrance, and look way up to see the colorful tiled roof, a splash of strange, almost lovably outdated hues that floats above the city as a relic of the past.

Also worth a look are the Atlas Life Building, 415 S. Boston Ave.; the Mayo Hotel (where you can book a room or grab a gourmet meal), 115 W. Fifth St.; and the Philcade building, 509 S. Boston Ave. The building facades are only the beginning: On a weekday afternoon, it’s fun to wander into the lobbies for stunning views of ceilings and chandeliers.

For more information, visit http://www.tulsapreservationcommission.org.

In addition to its architectural gems, Tulsa boasts two wonderful major art museums.

Ten minutes northwest from downtown, Gilcrease Museum, 1400 N. Gilcrease Museum Road, houses an

It’s one of a number of Tulsa buildings dating to the 1920s notable for their architecture and history. The Mayo, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, hosted many famous guests including President John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, Babe Ruth and Charlie Chaplin. The hotel fell on hard times in the late 20th century and was abandoned for 20 years before a renovation restored it to a luxury hotel.

The Philtower was commissioned by oilman Waite Phillips and is known for its colorful tiled roof. expansive collection of art from the American West (the largest worldwide, they say) and an array of Native American artifacts such as glass-beaded moccasins, feather headdresses and leather clothing.

Grown out of the private collection of Tulsa oilman Thomas Gilcrease, the museum is now home to more than 10,000 paintings, prints and sculptures from prominent American artists such as Frederic Remington and Thomas Moran.

Meanwhile, 10 minutes south of downtown, the Philbrook Museum of Art, 2727 S. Rockford Road, houses an equally magnificent collection in what was once the 72-room private villa of Waite Phillips’ family. Perhaps even more impressive than the fine artwork displayed at this renowned Tulsa attraction is the sprawling 23-acre (9hectare) garden behind the museum. I attended a wedding last summer that embodied the romantic European spirit of this Italian-style estate.

The shopping in Tulsa, like everything else, can be fancy or casual, depending on your whim. I always like to browse through the luxury home-goods store T.A. Lorton, 1343 E. 15th St., on a bustling street known locally as Cherry Street. It’s quite expensive, but you are guaranteed to find items you’ve never seen before, from indulgent children’s gifts to high-end linens to unique lamps, tables and dinnerware.

For a store with lower prices and an edgier flair, I recommend Dwelling Spaces, 119 S. Detroit Ave., in the Blue Dome District.

Dwelling Spaces sells quirky handmade items such as T-shirts, decorative pillows and posters that tend to feature offbeat Oklahoma- and Tulsa-centric designs. It’s where you can buy all your Flaming Lips merchandise (the world-famous rock band started in Oklahoma) and

the latest copy of the popular bimonthly broadsheet magazine, “This Land Press.” Read it over a freshly brewed cup of Joe at the coffee bar.

My favorite casual spot for eating is El Rio Verde, 38 N. Trenton Ave., an authentic Mexican restaurant in the otherwise unassuming region northeast of

downtown. Like many good hole-in-the-walls, this place seems a bit shady from the outside. But step inside and order a wet burrito (served with sauce on top) and a glass of horchata (a traditional rice drink) and you won’t care where you are.

For higher-end fare, I’ve been twice blown away by the new but amazing Juniper Restaurant and Martini Lounge downtown, 324 E. Third St. Chef Justin Thompson is getting a lot of buzz for his localfocused, seasonal menus featuring items such as bison burgers and pork belly eggs benedict.

For a great non-alcoholic pick-me-up, try the Coffee House on Cherry Street (1502 E. 15th St.). A community oasis for artists and musicians, full of mismatched furniture and a constant stream of regular customers, the cafe makes all its own baked goods, including gluten-free and vegan items.

Tulsa is home to a great music scene as well. The historic Cain’s Ballroom, built in 1924 and known as the regular performing venue of Bob Wills, the “King of Western Swing,” now draws a steady stream of big acts across all genres, 423 N. Main St., or http://bradytheater.com/.

The Brady Theater has been around since the early 1900s, 105 W. Brady St., http://bradytheater.com/ and continues to draw the hottest performers.

Disney, Raimi gamble on return trip to Oz LOS ANGELES (AP) — Returning to the mystical land of “The Wizard of Oz” took more than 70 years and several hundred millions dollars.

Disney releases its highly anticipated prequel to the 1939 movie classic on Friday. Directed

by Sam Raimi, “Oz the Great and Powerful” explores the origins of the wizard (James Franco) and the witches (Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz) in a three-dimensional Oz. The $200 million production, not counting another $100 million in estimated marketing costs, is a huge gamble for everyone involved, considering “The Wizard of Oz” is among the most enduring and beloved films of all time.

Even Raimi, director of the first three “Spider-Man” movies, described the project as “daunting.”

The risk is compounded by a general box-office slump and a poor showing for last weekend’s $200 million big-screen take on another popular tale, “Jack the Giant Slayer,” based on “Jack and the Beanstalk.”

“The plus side is that there’s such incredible awareness of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ that it’s going to translate into a mammoth opening weekend for ‘Oz the Great and Powerful,’” said Dave Karger, chief correspondent for Fandango.com. “The danger is that many people’s natural tendency will be to compare this to ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and there’s no film that will ever live up to that.”

According to a survey done by the site, nearly all those buying tickets for the new “Oz” film have seen the original, and the film is far and away the most popular of the week, comprising almost 80 percent of tickets sold.

Franco has loved the world created by L. Frank Baum since he first saw the 1939 movie on

In this Feb. 17 file photo, actor James Franco, left, and director Sam Raimi pose for portraits at the “Oz The Great and Powerful” press junket at the Langham Huntington Hotel, in Los Angeles.

Returning to the mystical land of “The Wizard of Oz” apparently takes more than 70 years and hundreds of millions of dollars.

TV as a kid. It inspired him to read all of Baum’s books, which led him to other fantasy fare such as “Alice in Wonderland” and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. But the notion of revisiting the Land of Oz with an A-list director wasn’t enough to lure Franco to the leading role.

“I already had a lot of faith in the movie because Sam was attached, but as an Oz fan, I wanted to be sure that the approach was sound,” the actor said. “They very smartly did not just do a boy version of Dorothy and have the same trip through Oz.” For one, Franco notes the wizard is a con man and his trip through Oz is very different than

Dorothy’s was. “He’ll be getting into awkward situations, basically kind of bouncing off of Oz in ways that Dorothy didn’t,” the actor said.

While the new “Oz” has plenty of familiar elements the yellow brick road, Emerald City, witches, munchkins (now multi-ethnic) “the ways they’re interacting with the protagonist (are) completely different,” Franco said.

As the film opens in sepiatoned 1905 Kansas, Franco’s Oscar Diggs is a carnival magician who dreams of fame and fortune at any cost. When a twister whisks him to a fantastical land bearing his stage name Oz whose inhabitants believe him to be a wizard sent to save them, he

can’t believe his luck. Power and riches are practically his for the taking.

But first, he faces three witches, none of whom are exactly as they seem. Oz befriends a few locals, including a flying monkey (Zach Braff) and a china doll (Joey King), and eventually makes the plight of the people of Oz his own.

Like Franco, Raimi grew up loving the original “Oz” film.

“I remember it being the scariest movie I’d ever seen in my life and also the most touching movie, the saddest, sweetest thing I’d ever seen,” he said. “It was that spirit of sweetness, of characters becoming complete by the end of the story that was the

most powerful thing I took away from the 1939 classic and the thing we tried collectively to put in our picture.”

Some critics have questioned the casting of Franco as the wizard. The AP’s Christy Lemire wrote that he’s “too boyish for the role … neither charismatic nor self-loathing enough.”

Yet Raimi believes Franco was the perfect actor to portray the wizard: “He was born to play the part.”

Franco and Raimi are personal friends, and the director said he’s seen the actor’s growth as a performer and an individual since they first worked together on 2002’s “Spider-Man.” “I knew James was a moody dreamer, and that’s who Oz is,” Raimi said. “He dreams of being this great man, even if he doesn’t know what greatness is.”

The director knew Franco could embody both the selfishness which Raimi had seen in the actor when he was younger and the heart of the wizard.

“Because James had, in his life, been all of these things, I knew that if he could grab a hold of them and recognize them and hold up a mirror to himself however actors do that he could channel everything he was through this character and really bring him to life like no one else,” Raimi said.

Franco said playing the role “was really like I was stepping into the imaginative world of my childhood.”

And coming into Oz through the wily wizard, whose origins were never fully explored in the Baum books, is an inspired way to revisit the world, he said.

“It’s a great way to return to Oz through a character that you sort of know but not really,” the actor said. “Because of that, it’s a great entry that feels familiar and new.”

FILM REVIEW

‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ isn’t exactly either “Oz the Great and Powerful” aims for nostalgia in older viewers who grew up on “The Wizard of Oz” and still hold the classic dear while simultaneously enchanting a newer, younger audience. It never really accomplishes either successfully.

A prequel to the groundbreaking 1939 film, “Oz” can be very pretty but also overlong and repetitive, with a plot that’s more plodding that dazzling. Director Sam Raimi also is trying to find his own balance here between creating a bigbudget, 3-D blockbuster and placing his signature stamp of kitschy, darkly humorous horror. He’s done the lavish CGI thing before, with diminishing results, in the “SpiderMan” trilogy, but here he has the daunting task of doing so while mining an even more treasured pop culture phenomenon.

The results are understandably inconsistent.

“Oz” features a couple of fun performances, a handful of witty lines, some clever details and spectacular costumes. And it’s all punctuated by a Danny Elfman score that serves as a reminder of how similar this effects-laden extravaganza is to the latter-day (and mediocre) work of Elfman’s frequent collaborator, Tim Burton specifically, 2010’s “Alice in Wonderland,” also from Disney.

At its center is a miscast James Franco, costar of Raimi’s “SpiderMan” movies, as the circus huckster who becomes the reluctant Wizard of Oz. On the page (in the script from Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire), Franco’s selfish, scheming woman-

izer provides an early glimpse of the famous fraud that Dorothy Gale and her posse of new pals will go on to expose. But Franco seems too boyish for the role; he’s neither charismatic nor selfloathing enough and his performance frequently consists of hammy goofing. So when his character does have a change of heart and decides to accept his destiny as a noble and inspiring leader, it rings hollow.

Before he gets there, though, he must journey through the Technicolortinted splendor of this wildly dreamlike place much of which resembles one of those Thomas Kinkade paintings you’d see at the mall not once but many times, which feels redundant. But then again, so does the whole structure of the film itself.

Like Dorothy, Franco’s Oscar Diggs is whisked away from sepia-toned, rural Kansas of 1905 (projected in slightly boxier Academy ratio, a nice touch) through a tornado to the vibrantly hued, magical land that just happens to bear his nickname: Oz. Like Dorothy, he walks along the yellow brick road with some new companions who have ties to his old life back home: a wisecracking, flying monkey (voiced by Zach Braff, channeling Billy Crystal) and a spritely but resourceful china doll (voiced by Joey King).

And like Dorothy, once he reaches his destination, he must face a witch. But which witch is which? You see, there are three, one of whom is the truly wicked one.

First, he meets the beautiful and naive Theodora (Mila Kunis), who believes he is the wonderful wizard her

father, the king, said would come to save Oz in a prophecy before he was killed. Kunis is weirdly stiff and subdued in these early scenes, which squander her inherent spark; later, as Theodora evolves, she screeches in a tone that’s reminiscent of her “Family Guy” character, the awkward teenage Meg, screaming at her brother Chris to get out of her room.

Next comes Theodora’s sophisticated and deceitful sister, Evanora (a funny, vampy Rachel Weisz), who rules over Emerald City as its protector and fills Oz in on the riches that could be his if he fulfills the prophecy, kills the Wicked Witch and becomes the king.

Finally, there’s Glinda the Good Witch, played by a sweetly ethereal Michelle Williams. She also appears in the Kansas prelude as a young woman who’s clearly smitten by Oz and hesitant to accept a marriage proposal from another man. (If she marries him, by the way, her last name will be Gale.)

“Oz the Great and Powerful” plays with the notion of making people believe through spectacle and trickery that what you see is more important than what you actually get. It’s Oz’s bread and butter and it’s a primary tenet of the moviemaking process itself, of course.

But this time, something is missing in the magic.

“Oz the Great and Powerful,” a Disney release, is rated PG for sequences of action and scary images, and brief mild language. Running time: 130 minutes. Two stars out of four.

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY CROSSWORD

Former justice pens book about Court

BY RASHA MADKOUR AP Book Reviewer “Out of Order: Stories From the History of the Supreme Court” (Random House), by Sandra Day O’Connor In the old days, lawyers arguing before the Supreme Court could blather on, uninterrupted, for as long as 10 days.

Nowadays, they’re strictly limited to 30 mainutes of argument time and they’re deemed lucky if they can speak more than two sentences before the justices interject.

The first chief justice, John Jay, resigned to become governor of New York. He didn’t think the Supreme Court would amount to much.

And until Chief Justice William Howard Taft, a former president, lobbied for a Supreme Court building, the nation’s highest court shared office space over the years with merchants, lower courts and Congress.

For an institution so seemingly steeped in tradition, the nature of the Supreme Court has changed and evolved drastically over its lifetime.

That’s the main takeaway from a new book by former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the job. “Out of Order: Stories From the History of the Supreme Court” is readable, accessible and full of riveting anecdotes, even if the level of detail may occasionally bore the casual reader.

O’Connor skillfully highlights myriad personalities in the history of the court, from John McLean, who ran unsuccessfully for president four times while serving on the court, to Byron White, who played professional football for the Pittsburgh Pirates (now Steelers) and Detroit Lions before being appointed to the bench.

(He was also a Rhodes scholar and served in the Navy.)

The dubious designation as one of the worst justices ever falls on James McReynolds, who wrote comments like “This makes me sick” on colleagues’ circulating opinions. A self-professed antiSemite, McReynolds read a newspaper during a Jaewish colleague’s swearing-in ceremony, and at his funeral in 1946, not a single fellow justice was in attendance.

O’Connor offers a few juicy tidbits about life as a Supreme Court justice.

“Out of Order” is, at its core, a compact history book on the Supreme Court albeit a more lighthearted, personality-filled one than you might find in a high school classroom.

MORTGAGE WATCH

U.S. rate on 30-year loans ticks up to 3.52 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages were little changed this week, hovering near historic lows. Cheap mortgages have helped spur a recovery in the housing market.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage edged up to 3.52 percent from 3.51 percent last week. That’s near the 3.31 percent rate reached in November, the lowest on records dating to 1971.

The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage held at 2.76 percent. The record low is 2.63 percent.

The lowest mortgage rates in decades have boosted home sales and helped the market rebound. More people are buying homes, which has helped pushed up prices. Home prices jumped 9.7 percent in January from a year earlier, according to data released by CoreLogic. That’s the biggest annual gain since April 2006, just before the housing bubble burst.

Historically low rates also have encouraged more people to refinance, often lowering monthly payments and leaving consumers with more spending money.

Still, some people are unable to take advantage of the low mortgage rates, either because they can’t qualify for stricter lending rules or they lack the money for larger down payment requirements.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday each week.

The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for 30-year mortgages slipped to 0.7 point from 0.8 point. The fee for 15-year loans also ticked down to 0.7 point from 0.8.

The average rate on a one-year adjustablerate mortgage fell to 2.63 percent from 2.64 percent last week. The fee for one-year adjustable-rate loans declined to 0.3 point from 0.4.

The average rate on a five-year adjustablerate mortgage rose to 2.63 percent from 2.61 percent. The fee slipped to 0.5 point from 0.6.

One of the best ways to celebrate spring is to mix some of today’s fresh new fabrics into your home decor.

Fresh patterns for spring decorating

BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service Spring is just around the corner, and one of the best ways to celebrate this season of new beginnings is to mix some of today’s fresh new fabrics into home decor. Here are my top picks: — Walk on the wild side with animal prints Animal prints are still thriving in the jungle of home-decorating fabrics.

Designers keep reinventing these wonderfully textured patterns so they are fresh and vibrant, a perfect way to give living spaces a bit of unbridled energy.

When you decorate with animal prints, be careful not to go overboard.

Often, just a pillow or two is all you need to mix things up a bit.

• Chevron makes the heart beat faster Chevron pulses with youthful energy.

Perhaps that’s why it’s so popular with customers in their 20s and 30s. It’s fun to see their faces light up when they walk in stores and see fireball chairs.

If you’re closer to my age, chances are when you see chevrons you are reminded of the flame-stitch patterns that were so popular back in the day. Believe me, today’s chevrons are not like those kooky patterns in your mom’s living room.

Done in turquoise, choral and emerald, they look brand-new. I love a chevron mixed in with more traditional fabrics in pillow arrangements, whether on a sofa or bed, to give the overall look more zip.

• Lovely lattices look so hip Today’s designers have given yesterday’s lattice patterns a new modern vibe. Even though the new look in lattice motifs is big and bold, this reinterpreted classic is really pretty quiet, so it works well mixed in with fabrics that are stronger, brighter and busier. My favorite way to use lattice fabrics right now is on side chairs. They create an interesting backdrop for a host of fun decorative treatments in a room.

Lattices are also ideal for layering, whether you’re pulling together a grouping of accent pillows on a sofa or creating a bedding ensemble that is as perky as a cup of morning coffee.

• Florals that are fresh and fun When you hear “floral,” do you picture your grandma’s parlor, or those heavy Waverly patterns that were so big in the ’70s and ’80s? Erase that image from your mind, because this season’s flower-inspired patterns tell a brandnew story.

Florals today are robust, not finicky, featuring bigger graphic patterns and

more open space instead of the heavily layered images of old.

• Sensational solids People who love pattern and color usually want to steer clear of solids. But you need to mix in solid fabrics to give an overall display balance and harmony.

Otherwise, there is too much going on and the visual impact is overwhelming.

• Ticking so cute it will tickle you pink I have been in love with simple, sedate ticking for years, and my affection shows no signs of stopping. If you’re like me, and you like a quieter palette in your furnishings for spring, you can’t beat a soothing, crisp ticking pattern.

When you cover upholstered furnishings in a gray-and-cream or black-andwhite ticking, you get a slightly textured neutral that gives you a great blank canvass for pillows in any color or pattern imaginable. Or, weave in a pillow made out of ticking to help mute a bigger-than-life pattern.

• Bold buffalo checks are arresting My love also runs deep for buffalo plaid. This self-confident fabric comes in lots of color-ways, like yellow and cream.

I really like black and cream for spring, spiced up with a colorful pillow.

At some point, you may find that your home doesn’t work well for you anymore. You may need more space or a reconfiguration of the floor plan. The decision to remodel or move can be relatively easy in some cases and difficult in others.

In one example, homeowners in Berkeley, Calif., needed more space for their growing family. They looked at more expensive houses to buy instead of facing the hassle of renovating. They discovered that they couldn’t afford to buy a larger home in a prime location. But they could afford to add enough space to

Sweet dreams

TROY

Choosing the right pillow back. Just like Goldilock’s porridge, it should be just the right size.

Are you a stomach sleeper? Some experts say a memory-foam pillow is your best bet. Many stomach sleepers have agreed that after trying several different pillow types, the memory-foam pillow works best for them.

Uh, excuse this personal question … But do you snore? If yes, well, there’s a pillow for you, too. Snoring occurs when the air passages are blocked during sleep. The best pillow would be one that keeps your air tracks correctly open and clear, thus reducing snoring. The pillow should elevate the head and neck in a way that makes breathing easier and more consistent.

Are you pregnant?

There’s a pillow just for you, too. For pregnant women, a body pillow may be best as it supports and cradles the stomach and relieves pressure from the spine. (If you have any questions, you may want to check with your doctor.)

So as you can see, there is a pillow designed just for you no matter how you sleep. This article simply points you in the right direction, but to get specific help and guidance you can go to specialty linen stores to seek the aid of an expert. You can also go online to search the various possibilities and their pros and cons.

Happy hunting.

BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN Scripps Howard News Service Pillows are an important part of bedding, and there are a lot of choices available — from fluffy down-filled pillows to memory-foam pillows.

They are designed to keep your spine properly aligned while you sleep and they are also designed to support your head and neck.

With all the many choices available, which one is best for you? Let’s explore.

Are you a side sleeper?

There is a special pillow just for you. When sleeping on your side, it is normal to feel as if your shoulder is sort of in the way. A sidesleeper pillow will help that because it is designed to help you get a more comfortable and healthier night’s sleep with support for the head and room for the shoulder. A side-sleeper pillow is firm but not stiff.

It keeps the head level. It cradles your neck and head properly to make sure that your body is properly aligned.

Are you a back sleeper?

Your pillow should support the natural curvature of the spine in the neck area and provide good support under the head, neck and shoulders. It should not be too big because if too big, it can lift and tilt the head forward too much. It should not be too small or too mushy, because if too small, it can extend the neck, letting the head fall

It’s not a sin to treat yourself to a costly renovation as long as you understand that what you’re paying for is a lifestyle you desire, and you may not be able to recoup the costs when you sell. paying for is a lifestyle you desire, and you may not be able to recoup the costs when you sell.

Smaller remodel projects to make your home more enjoyable, like a new master bathroom or eat-in kitchen, could be a lot less expensive and disruptive than moving. And it would make your home more marketable when you do move.

Just make sure to do tasteful upgrades that will have a broadbased appeal. Ask your real estate agent to give you input.

You are doing the work for yourself, but you don’t want your home to be one that buyers wish you hadn’t touched. Bad renovations don’t increase the sale price.

Make sure that your contractor takes out building permits for work that requires it. Lenders’ appraisers often don’t give credit for an addition as livable square feet if the work was done without a permit.

THE CLOSING: Don’t do a complete bathroom or kitchen remodel if you’re planning to sell soon. You’ll improve the net proceeds from the sale if you restrict your fix-up work to cosmetic improvements.

Another couple with children, living in an Oakland, Calif., neighborhood they liked, talked to an architect about redesigning the space in their home to make it more user-friendly for their family. The plan didn’t give them exactly what they wanted.

However, it would be an improvement over the existing floor plan, but at great expense.

The plan didn’t include an expansion of the living space, so the owners would have ended up with a very expensive home for its size. It would have been overimproved for the neighborhood.

They wouldn’t have recouped the investment when they sold unless the property appreciated enormously over a decade or so.

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Before you make a commitment to a large renovation, take a look at homes for sale in areas where you’d like to live that offer the space and amenities you want or need.
