Schools ‘in a state of change’ Troy superintendent Eric Herman says education is constantly fluctuating BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

Cluster of teen crashes belies U.S. trend Derrek Lee Hager had just dropped off his girlfriend in the Texas Panhandle and was headed with four other friends to a nearby town to continue enjoying their spring break. But the teens never made it, perishing in a fiery wreck near Dumas after the driver ran a stop sign and collided with a tanker loaded with fuel. The deaths of the five Texas teens came the same day as an accident in Ohio that killed six and a day before a crash in Illinois killed four. Three teenagers died Friday in Indiana when police said the drivers of two pickups ran a four-way stop and collided.

Troy City Schools Superintendent Eric Herman alerted the board of education that the state of education is in a state of change at its regular meeting

Monday. “There’s just so much going on in the state,” Herman said Monday. “It’s very, very hard to know what’s going on. There’s some unrest for teachers. We just

need to relax.” Herman said changes in the state of education range from funding, teacher evaluations and the state’s overhaul of its K-12 curriculum, called the Ohio Core. Many of the changes still are being decided in Columbus. “It sounds pretty chaotic,” said Troy BOE vice president Stephen Lucas. Troy City Schools director of and instruction curriculum

Three men are currently incarcerated at Miami County Jail after evidence was found linking them to multiple daytime burglaries, not only in Miami County, but in several area counties as well. On Monday, a Miami County Sheriff’s Office deputy initiated a traffic stop of a 2006 white Ford Expedition in West Milton and made the arrests after evidence in the vehicle linked them to criminal activity including several daytime burglaries over the weekend. Jason Vencil, 43, of West Milton, was charged with three counts of felony receiving stolen property. Anthony Smedley, 35, of Riverside, and Frederick Lightfoot, 32, of Dayton, also were in Vencil’s vehicle and charged with third degree felony “having a weapon while under disability.” Search warrants were served for both the vehicle and Vencil’s home located at 100 Emerick Rd., West Milton. Both Smedley and Lightfoot men are convicted felons. Lightfoot also is on active federal parole from recently being released from federal prison. According to Miami County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Dave Duchak, investigators had been working on leads and input from the community for several months on the residential burglaries around Miami County. Investigators recovered stolen firearms, televisions and other items. Some recovered items were traced back to residential burglaries in Warren County, which had occurred earlier Monday. “The deputies did a great job,” Duchak said. “The invesitgators

Troy man pleads no contest to sex charge BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com

count of pandering sexually oriented material, a felony of the second-degree, and was found guilty. Smith entered the plea through an agreement that merged his 25 felony counts into one count of pandering, which carries between two to eight years in prison and will likely

require Smith to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years following his release from prison as a tier II sex offender. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 26. According to his indictment, Smith committed the offense Oct. 23 at his Troy residence and he allegedly had inappropriate pornography on a computer that depicted juveniles. Troy Police Department

reports state Smith’s juvenile daughter knew of the pornography and told authorities about it, at which time Troy detectives began investigating the case and conducted a search warrant. Smith remains behind bars at the Miami County Jail on a $25,000 bond, though his attorney requested a modification of that bond Monday. As of Tuesday the bond had not been modified.

Suspected killer captured in Oregon motel LINCOLN CITY, Ore. (AP) Police stormed into a motel room in this seaside town Tuesday evening and captured a Washington state man suspected of killing his grandparents, ending a multistate search and a tense daylong standoff at the motel. “Everyone’s safe. No one’s hurt,” said Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian. Police had spent much of the day trying to persuade Michael Boysen to surrender. After breaching the motel room door, they stormed in and captured him. Kilian said they found Boysen lying on the floor on his back, and that he had sustained a self-inflicted cut. He was taken away in an ambulance. Boysen was breathing, but it was unclear whether he was conscious and if his injury was considered serious, Kilian said. The bodies of Boysen’s grandparents were found Saturday in their suburban Seattle home, a day after Boysen was released from prison and was greeted with a welcome home party. During Tuesday’s siege in this tourist town, police pointed rifles at the motel, fired blasts from a water cannon and used a bullhorn to try to persuade Boysen to give up.

A police vehicle parks on a street near the Westshore Oceanfront Suites Tuesday in Lincoln City, Ore., where authorities believe Michael Boysen, who is suspected of killing his grandparents last weekend in Renton, Wash., is located. Police used a robot equipped with a video camera and a microphone to communicate with the suspect. The robot was sent onto a balcony outside the motel room. Police breached the door and were able to communicate with Boysen via the robot. When Boysen didn’t come out on his own, police went in after him. “We tried to negotiate,” Kilian said. “We saw an opening that didn’t compromise the safety of our officers.” Boysen checked into the motel Monday night under

his own name, but the name wasn’t recognized until Tuesday morning when a desk clerk saw a television story about the case and called the Lincoln City police, Kilian said. Boysen, 26, made threats against members of his family and law enforcement while behind bars, Corrections Department spokesman Chad Lewis said Tuesday. But authorities didn’t learn of the threats until after the bodies of the grandparents were found and authorities had started looking for Boysen. “Sources went to our staff

at the Monroe Correctional Center and told us he had been threatening to do all this,” Lewis said. The information was passed on to King County deputies, and that’s why King County Sheriff John Urquhart called Boysen extremely dangerous at a Monday news conference. Boysen just finished serving nine months in prison on a burglary conviction, Lewis said. He had no violent infractions in prison “nothing extraordinary,” Lewis said. He served a previous sentence between 2006 and

Trostle said. Also at the meeting, Kyle Elementary School Principal Katy Weaver presented information about the hard work and dedication that garnered Kyle Elementary School’s Ohio Department of Education “School of Promise” designation

Kyle,” Trostle said. Weaver, in her second year as principal at Kyle Elementary, said the award is very important to the staff, students and parents of Kyle Elementary School from kindergarten to fifth grade. Weaver said programs like guided reading to Title I book packets help students work on reading skills on a more in-depth level, which helps in all areas of learning. Weaver also said it was hard to wait for the news that the elementary school was dubbed a “School of Promise” due to the delay of the state report cards this year. “It was tough this year,” Weaver said. “It’s been great to get this back.” The board also accepted $12,501 in gifts and scholarship funds for the month of March. Donations included: $862.72 from Stouder Memorial Foundation to Heywood Elementary to purchase equipment for its clinic; $4,000 from Hook PTO to Hook Elementary for iPads; $750 from Troy Fish and Game to Troy Junior High School for students to

attend the “Archery in the Schools” state tournament in Columbus; $3,000 from Trojan All Sports Booster Club to Troy High School to be applied to the Trojan All Sports Booster Scholarship; $1,500 from Joan Funderburg to Troy High School to be applied to the Jim Funderburg Memorial Scholarship; $1,000 from Troy Cheerleading Boosters to Troy High School for the Troy Cheerleader Booster Scholarship; $600 from Smith O’Neal Post 5426 VFW to Troy High School to be donated to the band and used as needed and was donated by Chelsea Cruea and Whitney Snider for the Voice of Democracy Contest winners; $300 from Robert and Ruth Copp to Troy High School for the Karen Swank Scholarship Fund; $250 from Troy music Boosters to Troy High School to the Andrea Brown Memorial Scholarship; $24 from Connie Keim to Troy High School to cover costs for state competition for BPA; $15 Jeannine Reed to Troy High School to the Troy High School Choir to purchase music. The district has received $216,811 in gifts and donations since July 2012. The board and administration thanked all donors for their generous support. For more information, visit www.troy.k12.oh.us.

February 2011 for four robbery convictions. Those convictions were related to an addiction to narcotic painkillers, Lewis said. Boysen’s grandparents picked him up from prison in Monroe on Friday, drove him to meet his probation officer and to get an identification card from the Department of Licensing. They held a welcome home party for him Friday night. The bodies were discovered by Boysen’s mother Saturday evening. She had been called by a family member who became concerned that the couple hadn’t answered their door. Authorities haven’t said how they died. Investigators determined that Boysen had been searching the Internet for gun shows. The motive for the killings remains unknown, King County sheriff’s Sgt. Cindi West said. “Between the family and detectives we have no idea,” she said. “It’s just bizarre. The family loved and supported him the whole time he was in prison.” On Tuesday, the King County medical examiner’s office identified the couple as Robert R. Taylor, 82, and Norma J. Taylor, 80. The couple died Saturday. The cause and manner of their deaths remains under investigation, the medical examiner said.

Herman said teachers and staff are resilient, “no matter what (the Ohio Department of Education) is going to throw at us.” President Doug Trostle agreed with Herman’s comments. “Sounds like everything is in a state of flux — lots of uncertainty for some,”

did a good job and the community’s input helped out a lot.” Duchak said it is believed the three men may be responsible for the string of daytime burglaries in southern Miami County at the beginning of the year. Duchak said property connected with the daytime burglaries on LeFevre Road and State Route 41 was found during the investigation. Duchak said a computer was found still in a stolen pillowcase. Duchak said despite the three men being apprehended, he encourages the community to stay vigilant and call law enforcement if they are suspicious. “These were all rural, daytime burglaries,” Duchak said. “We still want residents to call us and to be on the lookout.” Duchak said the investigation is on-going and more charges are expected against the suspects as they are believed involved in multiple residential burglaries throughout the Miami Valley.

Farmers market opening planned

preparation for the 2013 Downtown Troy Farmers Market. Troy Main Street Inc. has announced the return of its popular summer market for a third season. The market will begin June 22 and run through Sept. 21 on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. Jessie Rankinen has been appointed the new market manager for the 2013. Rankinen is prepared to hit the ground running as she worked as an intern at last year’s market. A 2012 graduate of Michigan University with a degree in environmental science and a concentration in sustainable agriculture, she has much to offer. “I look forward to using my skills and expanding my experience. The market grew tremendously from 2011 to 2012. This year I would love to add even more variety to our market. Farmers markets are a great way to get the

TROY tastiest produce around, support local farming families and connect with your community,” Rankinen said. The Downtown Troy Farmers Market is accepting vendor applications and a packed venue is anticipated. “Last year our market doubled in size, with over 40 registered vendors. Our customer base also grew substantially, making downtown Troy the place to be on Saturday mornings,” said Troy Main Street Director Karin Manovich. The market features fresh local produce, breads, artisan cheeses, maple syrup, honey, baked goods, locally raised meat, artists’ booths, live music, other entertainment and more. The location on South Cherry Street, just off West Main Street, is convenient for shoppers with adjacent parking. Vendors have plenty of shade and can sell from their vehicles. Rankinen has plans to

extend market hours during the Mumford & Sons music festival (Aug. 31) and the Taste of Troy (Sept. 21) to capitalize on the anticipated crowds generated by both. In addition to vendors, she is seeking volunteers and interns for the summer. “I had the pleasure of being an intern at the farmers market last year working with market manager Susan Funderburg. Susan was an outstanding manager and I learned so much from her. I hope to continue the tradition with other interns,” Rankinen said. For more information on the market and how to become vendor, visit www.TroyMainStreet.org or call (937) 339-5455. The Downtown Troy Farmers Market is made possible through a grant from the General Fund of the Troy Foundation and the support of Patty Rose & Associates-Allstate Insurance. The market is organized, managed and promoted by Troy Main Street Inc.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you support the government’s use of drone attacks on U.S. citizens?

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

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

PERSPECTIVE

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on Italy’s election: The results of Italy’s election threaten the country with paralysis; they also put at risk the Eurozone’s fragile recovery. While Pier Luigi Bersani’s center-Left bloc has won the lower house, narrowly beating Silvio Berlusconi’s Right-wing bloc, neither has control of the upper house. Meanwhile protest votes have given comedian Beppe Grillo’s Five Star Movement third place. That Grillo could make so large an impact so quickly is a measure of the volatility and extreme disaffection of Italian voters. Berlusconi’s resurgence says much the same: it beggars belief that a man convicted of tax fraud and disgraced in multiple sex scandals could still come close to leading Europe’s thirdlargest economy. What is clear is that whatever governing arrangement is now cobbled together, the fiscal discipline of Mario Monti’s brief spell as prime minister is over. Monti’s austerity program was, from late last year, starting to have an impact: combined with the European Central Bank’s pledge to shore up the Italian economy, it had contributed to several months of relative calm in the eurozone. Now yields on Italian government bonds have risen sharply and markets are down. The result adds a significant element of instability to the dismal European Commission growth forecasts, which predicted that the eurozone will remain mired in recession for the rest of this year, with unemployment rising. Italy may well now face another election, thereby prolonging the uncertainty. But it is hard to see any major party championing the austerity that the country’s ramshackle finances need: Monti’s party got just 10 percent of the vote. With the Spanish government threatened by a major corruption scandal, and increasing international criticism of French President Hollande’s lackluster economic management, the outlook for the Eurozone’s troubled economies is looking significantly worse than it did two months ago. As the United Kingdom’s largest export market, that should worry us. The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on sexual violence in India and South Africa: Even as the position of women continues to evolve in Canada and the West, recent events in two key emerging economies — India and South Africa — are poignant reminders of the challenges that remain in developing countries. The horrific and deadly gang rape of a 23-year-old student in Delhi last December, and the shooting of model Reeva Steenkamp in Pretoria on Valentine’s Day have brought to the fore the issue of sexual violence and the particular dangers women face. Steenkamp’s boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee and celebrity Olympian, has been charged with murder. Both countries are having to confront the public’s anger over alarmingly high levels of violence against women and the deeply ingrained societal biases against women that the two tragedies have highlighted. India is to be commended, then, for acting quickly to bring in a new law toughening the penalties for rape, and making stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women and children crimes. The legislation reflects the expectation that the state must do a better job protecting women. … South Africa should likewise channel its outrage over the murder of Steenkamp into political action. The rate of homicides of females in that country is extremely high — five times higher than the global rate, according to the South African Medical Research Council. Onequarter of men have raped a woman. The country must find new ways to bring up and educate boys and young men, so that they no longer grow up thinking violence against women is acceptable. Just as India has been spurred to action, South Africa must use the tragedy to push for transformation, and to finally tackle the root cause of endemic gender-based violence and challenge a deeply chauvinistic culture.

DOONESBURY

Journalist serves as a reminder of what we all can do Last Saturday, I was privileged to hear my favorite journalist Nicholas Kristof speak at the University of Dayton. A columnist for the New York Times, Kristof has written extensively about the oppression — and empowerment — of women worldwide. Mass rape, sex trafficking, acid attacks, bride burnings and maternal mortality are only a few of the topics he has covered. I was pleased to discover that while he is a renowned human rights advocate, Kristof manages to be incredibly down-to-earth — with a good sense of humor, to boot. “I feel kind of awful because I’m called an advocate for human rights and yet some of you are standing,” he said with a smile during opening remarks. His sunny personality is the perfect counterpart for the dark issues he has covered during his 30 years with the paper. I became interested in Kristof’s work a couple years ago, when I read his eye-opening book “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide,” a detailed account of female injustices across the globe. The book was utterly shocking, to say the least, filled with heartwrenching stories of violence, mass

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist rape and forced prostitution. Amidst all the devastation, Kristof is the first to admit that empowering people requires time and strenuous dedication — and is not simple nor easy. “There’s no silver bullet,” Kristof said. “I think there’s a lot of people who want to do something but worry about corruption and if it’ll really make a difference.” Yet anecdotal and statistical research has shown that giving women the resources they need is significantly beneficial for individuals, families and nations. “The best escalator out of poverty is education,” Kristof says. “Talent is universal; opportunity is not.” Honestly, it’s difficult for me to discuss Kristof’s mission to transform the lives of women and girls,

— Margaret Lefler Troy

without drastically over-simplifying matters. It’s hard to fathom the extent of suffering that others face when we live in a secure nation. “The fact that we are here right now means we have won the lottery of life,” he said. Yet he stressed that the U.S. has its own issues, including forced prostitution, in which women undergo harsh treatment at the hands of “johns.” Under our legal system, women — not their keepers — are the ones to be prosecuted. By adopting a model similar to that of Sweden, Kristof said, women would be provided with social services, while the “johns” would be handled by the legal system. And prostitution is only one of the issues that has yet to be adequately addressed by the U.S. I’m sure every person knows at least one woman who has been raped. It’s a sad truth. So what can a person do to help women both domestically and abroad? Much of Kristof’s research pointed to the importance of investing in education. But what about seeing that money go to work? My friend Claire studied abroad in Tanzania while my friend MaryBeth visited schools in Ghana during college, and both plan to

return to do mission work in the future. Lately they’ve been itching to help worldwide — without infringing on the cultures of others. I think that’s incredibly inspiring, and I wish I had their same level of passion and adventure. I just wonder how a young person like myself — or anyone, for that matter — can do good work in their everyday lives, right here in Ohio. While I left Kristof’s speech feeling inspired, I also felt somewhat frustrated. What can I do to help? I thought. Maybe I’m naïve, but there’s got to be a way each and every one of us can help uplift and empower people worldwide. Many of us — that includes me — are blissfully unaware of the plights many people, men and women, are facing around the world. We may read about the number of rapes or beatings or deaths, but not the horrific details behind them. So maybe the first step is educating ourselves on world issues, digging a little deeper than those 10-inch news stories. I think Kristof’s “Half the Sky” is an excellent place to start. Natalie Knoth appears on Wednesdays in the Troy Daily News.

Von Kleist had been chosen as the officer to model a new uniform for Hitler, and von Stauffenberg proposed that he wear a suicide vest underneath, and detonate it when he stood next to the dictator. The suicide attack plan never came to fruition. Months later, however, von Kleist was approached again by von Stauffenberg to take part in what would become known as the July 20 plot for the day in 1944 that the assassination was attempted which was brought to the big screen in 2008 in “Valkyrie,” starring Tom Cruise as von Stauffenberg. Von Kleist was supposed to play a key role as the person who was to carry a briefcase packed with explosives to a meeting with Hitler. In a change of plans, however, von Stauffenberg decided to plant the bomb himself. Von Stauffenberg placed the bomb in a conference room where Hitler was meeting with his aides and military advisers at his East Prussian headquarters. Hitler escaped the full force of the blast when someone moved the briefcase next to a table leg, deflecting much of the explosive force. Von Kleist remained in Berlin, charged with overseeing the arrest of officers and officials loyal to Hitler in the city. But when news spread that Hitler had survived, the plot crumbled and von Stauffenberg, von Kleist’s father, and scores of others were arrested and executed in an orgy of revenge killings. Von Kleist himself was arrested, questioned at length by the Gestapo and sent to a concentration camp, but then inexplicably let go and returned to combat duty.

• Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist BERLIN (AP) — As a 22-year-old German army lieutenant, Ewald-Heinrich von Kleist volunteered to wear a suicide vest to a meeting with Adolf Hitler and to blow himself up along with the Nazi dictator. The assassination didn’t come to pass, but von Kleist went on to play a key role in the most famous attempt on Hitler later that same year, and was the last surviving member of the group of German officers who tried and failed to kill the Fuehrer on July 20, 1944. Von Kleist died Friday at age 90 at his home in Munich, his wife Gundula von Kleist told The Associated Press. Von Kleist was born July 10, 1922, on his family estate Schmenzin in Pommerania in an area of northeastern Germany that is today Poland. The von Kleist family was a long line of Prussian landowners, who had served the state for centuries in high-ranking military and administrative positions. Von Kleist’s father, Ewald von Kleist, was an early opponent of Hitler even before he came to power, and was arrested many times after the Nazi dictator took control in 1933. The elder von Kleist famously traveled to England in 1938, the year before World War II broke out, to try and determine whether other Western nations would support a coup attempt against Hitler, but failed to get the British government to change its policy of appeasement. Despite his family’s opposition to the Nazis, younger von Kleist joined the German army in 1940, and was wounded in 1943 in fighting on the Eastern Front. During his convalescence, he was approached in January 1944 by Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, another officer from an

A jury in Akron returned the verdict in the case against Richard Beasley, who was charged with killing two men from Ohio and one from Norfolk, Va. A man from South Carolina was shot but survived and testified about running for his life and hiding in the woods, scared he would bleed to death. Family members of the victims hugged and wiped away tears as the verdict was read. Beasley, who also was convicted of aggravated robbery, kidnapping and attempted murder in wounding the lone survivor, slumped in his wheelchair, which he uses because of back problems.

asked jurors to use common sense and return a guilty verdict, labeled the 53-year-old Beasley the triggerman in the 2011 plot with a student he mentored. The 16-year-old student, Brogan Rafferty, was convicted and sentenced last year to life in prison without the chance of parole. Prosecutor Jonathan Baumoel told jurors there was no reasonable doubt that Beasley plotted the killings, and he presented three possible theories for aggravated murder planning the crimes, done with a kidnapping or done with a robbery. He said there was “prior calculation and design,” a component of the death penalty aggravated murder charge. Prosecutors said the victims, all down on their luck and with few family ties that might highlight their disappearances, were lured with offers of farmhand jobs. One man was killed near Akron, and the others were shot at a southeast Ohio farm during bogus job interviews. The slain men were Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron; David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Va.; and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon. The survivor, Scott Davis, testified that he heard the click of a gun as he walked in front of Beasley at the reputed job site. Davis, who was shot in an arm, knocked the weapon aside. “I spun around,” testified Davis, who told a harrowing story of running through the woods and hiding for seven hours. “I was worried about bleeding to death.”

ters from Dumas, a ranching and farming town of about 15,000. The others were from a nearby small town. The collision occurred Sunday, about 45 miles north of Amarillo. Preliminary reports indicate that alcohol was not a factor and an investigation is ongoing, authorities said. Killed were Jacob Paul Stipe, 16, of Sunray, Hager and Christopher Lee Moore, both 17 and from Sunray, and October Dawn Roys, 17, and her younger sister, Elizabeth Kay Roys, 15. According to a report on the Ohio crash released Tuesday, the 19-year-old driver of an allegedly stolen SUV that plunged into water and killed six of the eight people inside did not have a current driver’s license. Two teens who survived the crash told police the woman was speeding and driving recklessly before Sunday’s accident. The Indiana wreck happened after six students off from school to attend a Future Farmers of America event at a rural church left the event. Three died at the scene and three others were injured. Police believe both drivers ran a four-way stop, with a Dodge truck hitting a smaller Ford F-250 broadside.

Among those groups, the number of people with driver’s licenses has dropped significantly during the past three decades in the United States and in some other wealthy nations with a high proportion of Internet users. Researchers surmise that virtual contact through Internet and other electronic

In Texas, Hager’s father said Tuesday that both vehicles involved in the crash were engulfed by flames, prompting investigators to turn to DNA to positively identify the teenagers in the car. The 18-wheeler’s driver, Ezequiel Garcia, remained in critical condition with burns over 65 percent of his body. Terrance Hager said, despite shock and disbelief, he’s found one comfort in the loss of his 17-year-old son. “I know he’s with his mom,” he said, referring to his wife’s death eight years ago. She was killed in a traffic accident involving an 18wheeler right outside the family’s home in Stratford, 30 minutes north of Dumas near the Oklahoma border. The teens’ deaths have affected families throughout the Texas Panhandle, a local official said Tuesday. “It’s had a big effect on the whole area, and I think it always seems more tragic when you have a loss of life when people are so young,” said Dr. David Bonner, the mayor pro tem of Dumas.

old drivers killed in 2000, according to the report, but by 2011 that had dropped to 173. During the same time period, deaths among 17year-old drivers dropped from 564 to 250. But deaths of 16- and 17year-old drivers in traffic accidents during the first six months of 2012 rose a combined 19 percent during the same period of the previous year, from 202 to 240 deaths. The report, which does not include passenger deaths, is based on preliminary state data that sometime changes. Despite the recent increase, overall teen driving deaths are significantly lower than they were a decade ago, when teen drivers traveled with fewer state-imposed restrictions, including limits on driving with teen passengers and driving at night. Deaths of young passengers when the driver was between the ages of 15 and 20 have dropped significantly since 1982, when 1,898 riders within the same age range died, according to the report. In 2011, the year for which most recent data are available, the number of deaths of passengers between 15 and 20 years old dropped to 777, the report showed. Meanwhile, fewer American teens are getting

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Derrek Lee Hager had just dropped off his girlfriend in the Texas Panhandle and was headed with four other friends to a nearby town to continue enjoying their spring break. But the teens never made it, perishing in a fiery wreck near Dumas after the driver ran a stop sign and collided with a tanker loaded with fuel. The deaths of the five Texas teens came the same day as an accident in Ohio that killed six and a day before a crash in Illinois killed four. Three teenagers died Friday in Indiana when police said the drivers of two pickups ran a four-way stop and collided. The deadly accidents serve as horrific reminders of the perils of teen driving but contrast statistics indicating that fatal crashes among teen drivers have declined during the past decade, according to a report released last month by the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety offices. The report also indicates that deaths of younger teen drivers sharply increased during the first six months of last year, reversing a 10-year trend. There were 435 16-year-

One important element is often forgotten during do-it-yourself car maintenance: air filters. Not to be neglected, changing them regularly improves the health of your vehicle as well as your own. FOR YOUR VEHICLE Your car engine needs fresh, clean air. That is why its engine is equipped with a filter specifically designed to prevent different particles from entering the combustion chamber. To be able to function properly, an engine needs the right mix of air and fuel. Dirty air will alter the efficiency of the engine and could cause damage. In addition, dirty air filters increase gas consumption. Check your owner’s manual to find out when this filter should be changed. If you usually drive in heavy traffic or on dusty roads, it

would be to your advantage to have it checked very often. FOR YOUR HEALTH The importance of having a clean car cabin air filter cannot be stressed enough. The air coming into the area where you sit can be up to six times more polluted than outside air. The filter that needs to be checked is usually located behind the glove compartment and only takes a few minutes of your time to replace. Once again, you should refer to the owner’s manual to learn how to proceed. Experts recommend that this filter be replaced at least once a year to prevent it from becoming clogged. As well as improving air quality inside your car, your air conditioning and ventilation systems will operate much more efficiently.

Car maintenance: a year-round contract

It is a proven fact that a good maintenance routine prolongs the life of your car. But what does regular maintenance really entail? What needs to be checked and when? Following are some guidelines that will help you set up a good maintenance schedule for your vehicle. First of all, it’s a good idea to plan a fixed schedule and to list everything that needs to be checked on a monthly, three-monthly, or biannual basis. For example, it is advisable to carry out a monthly check of tire pressure, oil and liquid coolant levels, and belts and lines.

The last two things should be checked carefully to ensure that no cracks have appeared. Of course, if there are signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Experts recommend changing the engine oil and checking the battery connections for signs of corrosion every three months. You should also check the other liquid levels at this time (brakes, transmission, power steering, and windshield washer fluids). Once every six months you should change your windshield wiper blades, check the condition of your tires, and ensure that your

Properly inflated tires: a question of safety

Your tires have just been changed and you’re ready to hit the road in total safety. Good for you! But did you take the time to check the air pressure in each of your tires? This is one of those little things that we all know we should do but never get around to. Yet taking a moment to do it is one of the most important elements of road safety that a driver can do. Maintaining the correct air pressure in your tires is as crucial as having the engine maintained on a regular basis. It has even been proven that it is more economical in the long run to check air pressure than to maintain your car’s engine in perfect running order! Why is that? Proper air pressure reduces wear on the tire’s tread, substantially reduces gas consumption, and improves the road holding capabilities of your car, which reduces your risk of having an accident. ONCE A MONTH Tire pressure should be checked once a month. It is also recommended that tire pressure be checked when tires are rotated or during oil changes or randomly, when you fill up at the gas station. It is also important to check the pressure in the spare tire. After all, you don’t want It has even been proven that checking air it to be unusable just when you really need it. pressure regularly will help you save Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual to find out the tire pressure money in the long term. recommended for your vehicle.

It’s fine to do some of your own car maintenance, but don’t forget to follow a fixed schedule.

spare tire is adequately inflated, which is something that is often forgotten. Another often forgotten thing to do is make sure that headlights, brake lights, and signal lights are working well. A biannual check should also be made of shock absorbers, muffler, and for wear in the braking system.

The town of Brownhelm, in Lorain County, likely elected the first black man to public office in the United States. The year was 1855, and the man elected township clerk was John Mercer Langston. It was one of many accomplishments in Langston’s lifetime battle against slavery and for racial equality. The child of white plantation owner Ralph Quarles and freed black slave Lucy Langston, John Mercer Langston was born in Virginia in 1829. When both parents died in 1834, the boy and his three older siblings received a large inheritance that would allow John Mercer to enroll at Ohio’s Oberlin College at age 14. Early on, he excelled at debate, and in 1848, when he was 19, he spoke at the National Black Convention in Cleveland to condemn those who would not help fugitive slaves. Because Ohio law did not allow blacks to be attorneys, Langston was denied admission to law school. Instead, he learned the law under attorney Philemon Bliss in Elyria. In 1854, he was accepted to the Ohio bar when the examiners decided he was white. Langston enjoyed a long, successful career as an Ohio lawyer, with mainly white clients. He organized antislavery societies at the state and national levels and helped runaway slaves along Ohio’s Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, he recruited black soldiers for the Union Army. After the war, he served as a city councilman in Oberlin, and traveled the Midwest giving speeches in support of voting rights for black men. In 1868, he organized the law department at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and in the late 1870s was named ambassador to the island nation of Haiti. In 1888, he became the first African American elected to the U.S. Congress from Virginia. His victory was contested, and it was 18 months before he could take his seat in the House of Representatives. He was defeated in the next election. Langston wrote his autobiography, From the Virginia Plantation to the National Capital, in 1894, and died in Washington in 1897. The town of Langston, Okla., is named after him.

What elected position did he hold in Brownhelm, Ohio? 2. Why was Langston denied admission to law school? What finally allowed him to become a lawyer? Why could the examining committee make this decision? 3. Name two things Langston did to fight slavery. 4. Langston was a very successful lawyer, with mainly white clients. Can you name a reason he didn’t have many black clients in the 1850s and ’60s? 5. The people of Virginia also elected Langston. To what government body did they elect him?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put a limit on the family freeloading

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Community Calendar 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Legislative Update

Dear Annie: I don't know how much longer I can handle my daughter and her family living in our home. Five years ago, they came here intending to stay "a few months." My husband is ill, and he is extremely uncomfortable having no privacy and being limited to our bedroom for days at a time. I try to be kind, but I am still grieving the loss of my son to cancer. My son-in-law doesn't even pretend to make an effort to find a place anymore. And he does not help us around the house or contribute to the bills. How do I get them out without hurting my daughter and granddaughter? I don't want to lie to them, but I'm beginning to despise my son-in-law. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Losing Hope Dear Losing: In order to have your house to yourself, you will need to find the strength to put a time limit on the freeloading. If your son-in-law or daughter is working, they should be paying rent, if not in their own place, then in yours. Tell them you think it would be healthier for all concerned if they found a place of their own, and you will give them three months to move out. Offer to help them search. Offer to help them pack. Offer to take care of your granddaughter. But be firm about the deadline. Let them know that if they don't find a place within three months, you will start charging them rent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and make it enough so that moving out is an attractive option. Be nice about it, but don't back down. Dear Annie: My husband has a frequent customer card for a local restaurant. Over time, he accumulated a credit of $40. We recently went to this restaurant with another couple. When the bill arrived, my husband took out his card and told the other couple they owed half of the bill, including the tip, and that he would apply his $40 credit to the remainder. I was uncomfortable with this. I felt he should have saved his credit for a time when we were dining alone. What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: If the other couple were close friends or family members, they may not have cared about this. However, a less familiar set of friends might have found it a bit gauche for your husband to flaunt that his bill was going to be $40 less than theirs. So, yes, we agree it would have been better to use the credit when you were alone, unless he intended to use it to treat his friends to part of their meal. Dear Annie: "Feeling the Void" says women don't understand how sex makes a man feel loved and that men feel incomplete without it. Well, knowing I cannot make love to my husband is pretty devastating, too. The aging process has meant that sex is no longer pleasurable. Instead, it is horribly painful. Lubricants do not work. Taking hormones brings back cramps and menstruation. I was willing to try, but hormones also brought back my uterine fibroids, and I'd rather not have a hysterectomy if I don't have to. And my husband would have his own problems if not for that little blue pill. Why can't we just grow old? If all we did was dwell on our sex life, we would be constantly upset. My husband and I understand this. We hug and kiss and appreciate each other. There is no void when you love deeply and can accept the changes that growing old together brings. I am so blessed to be with a man who gets that. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Still Feeling Completely Loved Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puzzle in tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Troy Daily News. MONDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Wet or dry measuring cups: Does it really matter? Dear Heloise: Is there a difference between liquid and dry measuring cups? I know there are cups made for wet ingredients and ones for dry ingredients, but does it really matter which one I use? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda W. in Indiana A cup is a cup by liquid or dry â&#x20AC;&#x153;volume.â&#x20AC;? A liquid measuring cup typically is glass or plastic so you can see through it, and the measurements are written on the side. It has a spout with a handle on the side for pouring. A 1- or 2-cup probably is the most-used cup in American homes. I have three: two 2-cup ones and one 1-cup one, and two sets of dry measuring cups.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Dry measuring cups may be made of plastic or metal and have a flat top. These usually come in sets starting with 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup and up to 1 cup. Most are attached by a ring. They are designed for you to fill with dry ingredients and then use a knife or spatula to level it off.

However, it may matter which one you use, particularly when baking. Most baking uses measurements that are precise, and it is difficult to measure dry ingredients accurately in a liquid 1- or 2-cup measuring cup. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise SLICED BUTTER Dear Heloise: I am a butter lover. Knowing when to take the butter out of the refrigerator so it will be spreadable is something I have never been able to master. Softening it in the microwave doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for me, either. I use my cheese slicer for my butter. This slicer is the planer or server type, not the wire type.

It will slide across the top of the stick of butter and produce long, thin sections that melt quickly and evenly for my toast, pancakes and waffles. I use what is left over for cooking. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Susan R. in Virginia NO MESS Dear Heloise: I always have green olives in my refrigerator. I use my melon baller, which has a small hole in the center, to get the olives out of the jar. I can do this without contaminating the brine. I also am able to drain the brine because of the small hole, leaving me with just the olives, and no messy liquid everywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Diane J., via email

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, March 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As this day wears on, your focus on money increases. However, wait until late in the afternoon to make important financial decisions or purchases. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) By evening, you will feel content and pleased with yourself. Early in the day, it’s all a bit up in the air, but no worries because things settle down, especially in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you are so high-viz lately, you’ll welcome the chance for some privacy today. Work alone or behind the scenes. Play your cards close to your chest. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Late in the day, conversations with a female acquaintance could be reassuring. You might have a better sense of your future goals and be glad about your direction in life. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Details about your personal life will be made public today, especially later in the day. (No question.) Therefore, be on guard and protect what you must. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Try to do something different today because you need a change of scenery. You want to break free of routine so that something stimulating or exciting can happen. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you might be focused on redtape details related to inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt, wait until late in the afternoon to make decisions regarding these matters. (You’ll be glad you did.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Later today, the Moon moves opposite your sign, which means you have to be tolerant and flexible. When dealing with others, be prepared to go more than halfway. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your desire to get better organized at work and at home will come to fruition later in the day. Just coast earlier in the day because, by late afternoon, you’ll swing into action! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a very creative day for you. It is fun-loving, flirtatious, playful and productive for the arts. Enjoy pleasant times with children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a great day to entertain at home, especially this evening. Invite the gang over for pizza and beer. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have a strong need to communicate to others today, because you want to enlighten someone about something. Just wait for the right moment, because it will appear. YOU BORN TODAY You’re sweet and affectionate, but you’re no fool. You value your independence and take many different avenues to get where you want to go. You’re open, accepting and tolerant. You’re also philosophical and often ponder how things relate to each other in the universe. In the year ahead, a major change might occur, perhaps something as significant as what took place around 2004. Birthdate of: Michael Caine, actor; Kate Maberly, actress; Albert Einstein, Nobel laureate. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2013. There are 293 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 13, 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a “holiday” declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On this date: • In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard. • In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. • In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting

Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners. • In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. • In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself. • Five years ago: The body of Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was found in a shallow grave in northern Iraq, two weeks after he was kidnapped by gunmen in one of the most dramatic attacks

against the country’s small Christian community. Gold hit a record, rising to $1,000 an ounce for the first time (however, it fell sharply later in the year). • Today’s Birthdays: Singersongwriter Neil Sedaka is 74. Actor William H. Macy is 63. Actress Dana Delany is 57. Rock musician Adam Clayton (U2) is 53. Rapper-actor Common is 41. Rapper Khujo (Goodie Mob, The Lumberjacks) is 41. Singer Glenn Lewis is 38. Actor Danny Masterson is 37. Actor Noel Fisher is 29. Actor Emile Hirsch is 28. Singers Natalie and Nicole Albino (Nina Sky) are 27.

Black smoke from chapel chimney: No pope yet

based insiders who have defended the status quo. Other names included Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, who heads the Vatican’s powerful office for bishops, and U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the exuberant archbishop of New York. Before Tuesday’s conclave a Mass was held at St. Peter’s Basilica for the general public and the cardinals. In an appeal, the dean of the College of Cardinals, retired Cardinal Angelo Sodano, called for unity within the church, asking the cardinal electors to put their differences aside for the good of the church and the future pope. “Each of us is therefore called to cooperate with the Successor of Peter, the visible foundation of such an eccle-

sial unity,” Sodano said. He said the job of pope is to be merciful, charitable and “tirelessly promote justice and peace.” He was interrupted by applause from the pews not so much from the cardinals when he referred to the “beloved and venerated” Benedict XVI and his “brilliant” pontificate. Sitting in the front row was Benedict’s longtime aide, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, who reported that Benedict was watching the proceedings from the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo, according to a Vatican spokesman the Rev. Thomas Rosica. For over a week, the cardinals have met privately to try to figure out who among them has the stuff to be pope and what his priorities should be. But they ended the debate on Monday with questions still unanswered, and many cardinals predicting a drawn-out election that will further expose the church’s divisions. The conclave proceeds in silence, with no formal debate, behind closed doors. During the discussions, Vatican-based cardinals

defended their administration against complaints that they have been indifferent to the needs of cardinals in the field, according to leaks from the proceedings in the Italian media. At one point on Monday, the Brazilian head of one Vatican office reportedly drew applause for challenging the Vatican No. 2, who has been blamed for most of the bureaucracy’s administrative failings. “Let us pray for the cardinals who are to elect the Roman pontiff,” read one of the prayers during the Mass. “May the Lord fill them with his Holy Spirit with understanding and good counsel, wisdom and discernment.” In his final radio address before being sequestered, Dolan on Tuesday said a certain calm had taken hold over him, as if “this gentle Roman rain is a sign of the grace of the Holy Spirit coming upon us.” He said he at least felt more settled about the task at hand. “And there’s a sense of resignation and conformity with God’s plan. It’s magnificent,” he said during his regular radio show on SiriusXM’s Catholic Channel. One of the pilgrims in the

crowds Tuesday alluded to the challenges facing the church. “It’s a moment of crisis for the church, so we have to show support of the new pope,” said Veronica Herrera, a real estate agent from Mexico who traveled to Rome for the conclave with her husband and daughter. Yet the mood was not entirely somber. A group of women who say they are priests launched pink smoke from a balcony overlooking the square to demand female ordination a play on the famous smoke signals that will tell the world whether a pope has been elected. Two topless activists from Femen were dragged away from the edge of St. Peter’s Square by police. Femen activists have previously protested the Vatican’s opposition to gay marriage. And in a bizarre twist, basketball star Dennis Rodman promised to be in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday in a makeshift popemobile as he campaigns for Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana to become the church’s first black pope.

The cardinals now return to the Vatican hotel for the night and resume voting early this morning. Benedict XVI’s surprise resignation has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed deep divisions among cardinals grappling with whether they need a manager to clean up the Vatican’s dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism. The leading contenders for pope have fallen into one of the two camps, with Cardinal Angelo Scola, seen as favored by those hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer, favored by Vatican-

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Black smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel chimney on Tuesday, signaling that cardinals had failed on their first vote of the papal conclave to choose a new leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church. Surrounded by Michelangelo’s imposing frescoes imagining the beginning and the end of the world, cardinals locked themselves into the chapel following a final appeal for unity to heal the divisions that have been exposed by Pope Benedict XVI’s shocking resignation and revelations of corruption and mismanagement in the Vatican bureaucracy. Led by prelates holding a crucifix and candles, the 115 scarlet-robed prelates chanted the Litany of Saints, the hypnotic Gregorian chant imploring the intercession of the saints to guide their voting, before the master of liturgical ceremonies intoned “Extra omnes” or “all out” and closed the heavy wooden doors. Outside, thousands of people braved cold night rain and packed St. Peter’s Square, eyes fixed on the narrow chimney poking out of the Sistine Chapel roof. They were rewarded some three hours after the conclave began when thick black smoke billowed out of the chimney, signaling that no pope had been elected.

Slone, Crowell honored in D-IV Staff Reports Miami East’s Abby Cash admitted she was a little caught off guard when she was named Division III Southwest District Player of the Year last week. “I was surprised a lot by that,” Cash said. “Basketball is obviously not my number one sport, so I was pretty happy. I worked hard this year, and I had higher goals (for basketball). I guess it worked.” Cash soared to new heights on Tuesday.

MIAMI COUNTY Cash — who averaged 12 points per game for the Vikings this season — was named First Team All-State in Division III. She joins her mom, Kelly, as an all-stater in two sports. In the fall, Abby was named Division III First Team All-State as she helped lead Miami East to a second consecutive state title. “She said, ‘You’re just following in my footsteps.’ She was really proud of me,” Cash said. The area had two girls get honors in Division IV. Troy Christian’s Amanda Slone was named special mention and Covington’s Jessie Crowell was named honorable mention.

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com When Grant Zawadzki fought to get his own rebound on a missed free throw in overtime and drew another foul, giving Troy Christian a four-point lead instead of only a two-point one, he showed the Eagles’ neversay-die spirit.

KETTERING When he stole the ball from Kyle Pipenger with less than 10 seconds left, it was just a fitting ending. Ten of the sophomore’s teamhigh 20 points came from the free throw line – seven of those in overtime — and the Eagles held off a late charge by the previously-undefeated Patriots to score one of the biggest upsets of the year in a shocking 48-43 victory in the Division IV regional semifinal at Trent Arena Tuesday night.

Team USA defeats Puerto Rico, 7-1 Gonzalez pitches 5 scoreless innings MIAMI (AP) — Gio Gonzalez gave Team USA its best start yet, and David Wright provided a big finish. Gonzalez pitched five scoreless innings and the Americans beat Puerto Rico 7-1 in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday night. Wright drove in five runs, the last three with a basesloaded double in the eighth. That prompted chants of “U-SA! U-S-A!” from the crowd of 32,872. The United States fell behind in all three games in the opening round, but led from the first inning against Puerto Rico. The Americans will play Thursday night against the Dominican Republic, which remained unbeaten in the WBC by rallying past Italy 5-4 on Tuesday. Ryan Braun finished the game 2 for 4 with two runs. Jimmy Rollins had two hits and two runs, Giancarlo Stanton had two hits and Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips added a hit and a run.

■ College Basketball

Will March be madness after wild season? NEW YORK (AP) — College basketball fans with fond memories of the wild 2011 NCAA tournament may have forgotten this fact: A mostly tranquil regular season led up to it, with the four top seeds combining for just 13 loses. Back in 2007, by contrast, the No. 1 seeds had 18 defeats among them. Then the tournament started, and the familiar upsets of March were almost nowhere to be found. College basketball analyst

Clark Kellogg would love to be calling three weeks full of stunners this year. But he knows it’s hardly inevitable despite a season when the top-ranked team never seemed safe. “I’ve already told a number of people I hope it plays out the way it did during the regular season, but there are no guarantees,” Kellogg said Monday. A chaotic season can turn into a tame tournament for many reasons.

Matchups are always part of the mystery. Some years, the top seeds find themselves up against a string of opponents they stack up favorably against. Other seasons, they run into a team in an early round whose strengths seem perfectly targeted for whatever their weakness. Kellogg sounded another note of caution about why the regular season instability may not be a predictor of true March Madness: Tournament games are on neutral courts.

“Much of the tumult you see during the regular season happens in conference play on the home court of the underdog,” he said. Still, Kellogg is expecting a topsy-turvy tournament, evidenced by his struggle in picking the Final Four. He suggests that two of the top teams will make it to Atlanta, joined by a school from a power conference that had an unremarkable regular season, with perhaps a George Mason-esque squad to round out the field.

Japan tops Netherlands, 10-6 Abe homers twice in 8-run second inning

AP PHOTO

Japan’s designated hitter Shinnosuke Abe hits a three-run homer off Netherlands’ pitcher Jonatan Isenia in the second inning of their World Baseball Classic second round game Tuesday at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo.

TOKYO (AP) — Shinnosuke Abe homered twice in an eight-run second inning, Hisayoshi Chono drove in five runs and two-time defending champion Japan beat the Netherlands 10-6 Tuesday to win its second-round group in the World Baseball Classic. Both nations already had clinched berths in the semifinals at San Francisco on March 17-18. Japan will play the second-place team from the other group, which

includes the United States, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Italy. The Netherlands will meet the group winner. Japan, with no players from major league rosters, is 5-1 as it bids for a third straight WBC title. “Getting eight runs like that early was huge,” Japan manager Koji Yamamoto said. “It was good to see Abe hitting like that because we rely on him in big games.” The Netherlands’ Andrelton Simmons led off

the game with a home run on Kenji Otonari’s second pitch, but Abe homered off David Bergman leading off the second. Nobuhiro Matsuda’s RBI single and Chono’s threerun double gave Japan a 51 lead, and Abe hit a threerun homer off Jonatan Isenia. “It’s been a while since I hit two in one inning,” said Abe, Japan’s captain. “We had a lot of support from our fans here and now we’re going over there to win it all.” Otonari, the winner, struck out six in three innings and allowed one run and one hit. Bergman,

the loser, gave up seven runs and four hits in 1 2-3 innings. The Dutch closed in the seventh against Masahiko Morifuku on Xander Bogaerts’ RBI single and Randolph Oduber’s sacrifice fly, then pulled to 8-6 in the eighth on Curt Smith’s runscoring grounder and Kalian Sams’ two-out, RBI single off Tetsuya Yamaguchi, and Quintin De Cuba’s run-scoring single against Hideaki Wakui. With runners at the corners, Wakui struck out Oduber. Chono hit a two-run single off Kevin Heijstek in the bottom half.

Dominicans rally for win Browns have deal with LB Paul Kruger

Beat Italy 5-4 at WBC MIAMI (AP) — Robinson Cano pumped his fist. Jose Reyes and Hanley Ramirez danced together near home plate. Fernando Rodney pointed to the sky after the final out. The Dominican Republic is unbeaten and having fun in the World Baseball Classic. Nelson Cruz’s two-out, RBI single broke a seventh-inning tie, and the Dominicans overcame an early four-run deficit Tuesday to beat Italy 5-4. Cano had three hits, including his second home run in the WBC. He led a comeback that had his teammates laughing and celebrating every hit in front of their dugout. “That’s something you never see in the big leagues,” Cano said. “Here we get a chance to come out and give high-fives to the guys. We can jump around. Nobody sees you trying to show somebody up. It’s more about the chemistry on the team. We’re all excited to be here, and we’ve all got a mission to win.” Italy hitting coach Mike Piazza said his team noted the Dominicans’ demeanor. “Some enhanced theatrics,” Piazza said. “It’s not what we’re used to, but hey, you have to go to with

homered, and celebrated with Ramirez after crossing the plate. “This team has a lot of emotion,” manager Tony Pena said. “They kept talking in the dugout — ‘We’re going to come back and win the game.’” Chris Colabello hit a three-run homer, his second, to give Italy a 4-0 lead in the first inning. The Dominicans trailed 4-2 in the seventh, when they loaded the bases with

one out on consecutive singles by Reyes, Erick Aybar and Cano off Pat Venditte (0-1). Edwin Encarnacion walked to force in a run, and Ramirez tied the game with a sacrifice fly. Cruz followed with a broken-bat, two-out single to give the Dominicans their first lead. Cruz has six RBIs in four games, while Cano hiked his average to .632 (12 for 19) with six RBIs.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns opened free agency by sacking a Super Bowl winner. Loaded with cash to spend, Cleveland reached agreement Tuesday with linebacker Paul Kruger, who led the Baltimore Ravens in sacks last season, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press. The 27-year-old Kruger and the Browns agreed to a five-year deal, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not yet been announced by the team. Kruger gives the Browns a proven pass-rusher as they transition from a 43 defensive scheme to a 3-4 under new coordinator Ray Horton. ESPN first reported Kruger’s deal, which is worth $40 million. The Browns were quick to strike on Kruger, considered one of the top outside rushers in this year’s free-agent class. He had 13 sacks last season, including two of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the Super Bowl as Baltimore held off the 49ers to win the title. The

Kruger made $615,000 last season, the final one of his original deal with Baltimore. In getting Kruger, the Browns are not only hoping to strengthen their defense but weaken the Ravens, their AFC North rival who are undergoing a major makeover.

Valpo knocks off Wright State for title

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 play Delphos St. John’s for the regional championship Friday night. “Every win is groundbreaking for us right now,” an elated and exhausted Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “The kids believe in each other and what we, the coaches, are telling them — and when those two things happen, kids can make special moments.” And Tuesday’s fast and furious finish had plenty of those. A 16-2 run between the first and second quarters gave Troy Christian control of the game with a 19-11 lead — a lead they held nearly the entire game thanks to a wise defensive choice. “We wanted to apply pressure to (point guard) Matt (Werner) at the top,” Zawadzki said. “That way he couldn’t look over to (TriVillage coach) Josh (Sagester) and get the calls from the bench. There was a couple of offensive sets that they weren’t ever able to get into that would have been hard for us to defend with our lineup.” That helped limit Tyler Cook and Andrew Willcox to a mere three points in the paint in the first half. Meanwhile, the Eagles buried five first-half 3pointers — two from senior Nathan Kirkpatrick. And a Holden Varvel drive-andkick to Zawadzki for 3 right in the half’s closing moments gave the Eagles a 21-16 edge. “We believe in the 3,” Zawadzki said. “We hit 188 of them before tonight, and we have four boys that I trust whole-heartedly to shoot it. And really, it was the only offense that we could go to early.” Tri-Village (26-1) fell behind 31-24 after three, but a seven-point run got the dangerous Patriots within one at 31-30 and forced a Troy Christian timeout with 3:58 left in the game. A three-point play by Spencer Thomas, two Zawadzki free throws and one free throw by Christian Salazar blew it up to seven again — but Tri-Village still wasn’t done. Pipenger hit a pair of free throws, then Colton Linkous dove for a loose ball, recovered it while falling to his back and dished to Pipenger for a 3 that cut it to 37-35. Holden Varvel hit a pair of big free throws, but Pipenger scored again, and Willcox stole the ball from Zawadzki with 17.5 seconds left, giving the Pats one last chance. “Grant is growing up on the job,” Ray Zawadzki said. “It’s hard to ask a sophomore to lead your team, but we’ve done that this year. Tonight, he made some sophomore mistakes — but he made up for them.” Cook – who scored 11 of his 13 points in the second half and overtime – scored

VALPARAISO, IN — Valparaiso held off Wright State for a 62-54 victory Tuesday to claim the Hoirzon League tournament title. Erik Guggs led all scorers with 22 points, Will Bogan added 14 in the win for Valpo. For the Raiders, Reggie Arceneaux came off the bench and led the team with 14 points. LIU Brooklyn 91, Mt. St. Mary’s 70 NEW YORK — It may be the third time in a row LIU Brooklyn has won the Northeast conference tournament, but this championship was anything but secure for the Blackbirds. C.J. Garner scored 31 points and LIU Brooklyn punched its ticket for the NCAA tournament with a 91-70 win over Mount St. Mary’s on Tuesday night in the tournament finals. Third-seeded LIU (2013) was coming off a season in which four of its

Pipenger hit a free throw to start overtime and give the Patriots their first lead since the first quarter, but Varvel hit Salazar (eight points, seven rebounds) for a long jumper that gave the lead right back to the Eagles. Cook couldn’t tip the ball in after three tries on the other end, and Zawadzki came up with the ball and sank two clutch free throws to widen the gap. With the score 43-42, Zawadzki was sent to the line again. He made the first and missed the second, but he beat everyone to the ball off the rim and drew another foul. This time, he hit both, and Troy Christian led 46-42. “That’s just the competitive spirit that’s inside him,” Zawadzki said. “He was not going to be denied.” A free throw by Cook made it a one-possession game, but Zawadzki sank two more free throws to make it 48-43. And as Pipenger brought the ball up the floor for a desperation attempt, Zawadzki swiped it – and the topranked team in D-IV’s – chances right from him. Spencer Thomas hurled the

CLEVELAND (AP) — Dion Waiters scored 20 points, Alonzo Gee added 17 and the Cleveland Cavaliers held off a late run to beat the Washington Wizards 9590 on Tuesday night. Cleveland played its first game since Kyrie Irving sprained his left shoulder Sunday against Toronto. The All-Star point guard, who watched the game from the bench with his left arm in a sling, could miss the next month and maybe the rest of this season. The Cavaliers are 5-10 without him this season. Cleveland led 90-78 with 4:29 remaining, but the Wizards cut the margin to 91-88 with 45 seconds remaining. Waiters, who scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, hit four free throws in the final 13.1 seconds to secure the win. John Wall led Washington with a season-high 27 points. The Wizards, who scored the game’s first 11 points, have the league’s worst road record at 5-25. Rookie guard Bradley Beal, the Wizards’ leading scorer, missed his fourth straight game with a sprained left ankle. Cleveland placed six
