Bergoglio elected Pope Argentinian takes the name ‘Francis’

Grandmother takes stand A 75-year-old woman charged with first-degree murder sobbed on the witness stand Wednesday as she told jurors how she repeatedly shot her teenage grandson after he kicked her in the abdomen and demanded money and a car to leave Michigan. “Did you want to kill this young man?” defense attorney Jerome Sabbota asked. “Of course not. I still love him,” Layne replied, crying and nervously rocking in the witness chair. See Page 6.

VATICAN CITY (AP) From “the end of the earth,” the Catholic Church found a surprising new leader Wednesday, a pioneer pope from Argentina who took the name Francis, a pastor rather than a manager to resurrect a church and faith in crisis. He is the first pontiff from the New World and the first non-European since the Middle Ages. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the archbishop of Buenos Aires who has spent nearly his entire career in Argentina, was a fast and fitting choice for the most unpredictable papal succession start to finish in at least six centuries. He is the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit and the first named Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor. The last non-European

pope was Syria’s Gregory III from 731-41. “You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome,” the new pontiff said as he waved shyly to the tens of thousands who braved a cold rain in St. Peter’s Square. “It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth, but here we are. Thank you for the welcome.” The 76-year-old Bergoglio, said to have finished second when Pope Benedict XVI was elected in 2005, was chosen on just the fifth ballot to replace the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. In the past century, only Benedict, John Paul I in 1978 and Pius XII in 1939 were faster. Francis’ election elated Latin Americans, who number 40 percent of the

Budget delays action

Review set for massacre suspect A U.S. soldier charged with killing 16 Afghan civilians is expected to undergo a court-ordered review of his sanity beginning this weekend, after the military judge overseeing the case agreed that the results would not automatically be shared with prosecutors, his lawyers said Wednesday.

anyone may attend. “There are people that just want to learn for their own knowledge and for their own protection what steps they should take if bad weather occurs,” Blackmore said. “If anyone has an overall interest in weather, how a storm develops and what they can do, it would be of interest to them.”

Pat Superintendent McBride said pending on the state’s final education budget, the district may attempt to implement all day, every day kindergarten next fall. McBride addressed the issue at the board of education meeting Wednesday, noting next month’s board meeting he’d know if the district would be able to finance the teacher contracts to provide all day, every day kindergarten if the state chooses not to fully fund the all day program. “(Newton Local School treasurer) Nick and I will have to sit down together and go over the cost savings that we expect next year and then also in the increases we anticipate,” McBride said. “The wild card in all this is, we heard from the Governor (John Kasich) on the day he rolled out his proposed budget that he was going to fund all day, every day kindergarten — full day. I’m not convinced of that because a lot of things he said that day are just absolutely not accurate.” McBride said the budget has to pass through both the House of Representatives and the Senate and may not be approved until the end of June. McBride said the all day, every day kindergarten would be beneficial for Newton Local School students. “It prepares them for a solid foundation, but at the same time we have to look at the financial aspect of it and have to weigh out the pros and cons and we’ll do that in April,” McBride said. According to the district’s principal’s report,

Shelves are full at Country Bulk Barn in downtown Troy located at 4 W. Main St. “We wanted to offer great products at a great price,” Gordon Snow said. Country Bulk Barn is also located at 146 S. Springfield St. in St. Paris.

hen it comes to buying food, eating healthy and eating inexpensively are often percevied as mutually exclusive. But Gordon Snow of Bulk Country Barn, 4 W. Main St., strives to ensure customers don’t have to choose between eating wisely and saving money.

“It’s great products at great prices,” Snow said. “It you look at our foods, they’re well below the price of big supermarkets.” Products include dried fruit, nuts, flour, popcorn, soup mixes, 10 flavors of grind-your-own coffee and more than 60 spices, among many

other items. The strategy to keep prices low, he said, is “cutting out the middle” — buying in bulk and selling in smaller packages, no embellishment needed. Snow owns the business with his wife Jennifer; the couple also own a store of the same name in St. Paris, which opened in 2009. Managing the Troy location is Cindy Shearer. Since its opening Monday, Bulk Country Barn already has several repeat customers, especially for its lunch menu, Snow observed. “Our signature things are burritos at lunch. Everything is sliced fresh, and we make our own salsa and slice our own cheese,” Snow said. Select deli meats and cheeses — made in Holmes County — are

TROY nitrate-free, while other products are organic, gluten-free or MSG-free. The products are on-trend with Americans’ buying habits, he said. “A lot of people are going back to the basics, cooking at home and eating more healthy,” Snow said. That doesn’t mean the shop is lacking in high-quality snacks and sweets. Even in winter, ice cream has proven popular, with flavors including basic vanilla and chocolate as well as cupcake, peaches ‘n’ cream and “nuts about buckeyes” flavors. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Hours will be extended in the summer, especially during downtown events. For more information and to order products online, visit countrybulkbarn.com.

BY JOYELL NEVINS Civitas Media jnevins@civitasmedia.com Changes are happening in West Milton: The downtown Paul Vance Products building will soon be a parking lot, the police department gained a new officer, and an unsafe intersection is getting a convex mirror to help drivers. These resolutions and others were voted on at West Milton’s Village Council meeting Tuesday, March 19. The contract for demolition of the PVP building at 12 S. Miami St. was officially awarded to Evans Landscaping, Inc. from Cincinnati. “They’re a reputable contractor,” Choice One Engineer Andy Shuman said of Evans. Choice One is the firm working with the city on the project. The contract cost of demolition and construction of a parking lot will be $87,900, and is fully funded by a Community Development Block Grant. The grant is a federal program, administered by Miami County. “This is an exciting project we’ve been working diligently on,” said Municipal Manager Matt Kline. Mayor Michael Coate II extended the councils’ thanks to Kline for taking the “initiative” to see this project happen. The building was originally purchased by council in the second half of 2010, with thenMunicipal Manager Tony Howard suggesting to tear the building down and build a new police department building. However, the site has sat untouched until recently. Council member Susan Willis noted that the question of what to do with the PVP building was a question asked of all the municipal manager candidates last year. “Now its finally coming true,” she said. According to Kline, there will be a pre-demolition meeting in the next couple of weeks. Then the contractor’s calendar is to have the building

Overman said she wanted to offer a trip to Spain so students could experience the culture as well as practice their Spanish speaking skills on the trip. Overman said more than 40 parents and students attended a meeting about the trip to Spain which is guided by EF Tours and answered questions about chaperons and other information. The board approved eight junior high/high school Ohio Graduation Test tutors and three elementary Ohio Achievement Assessment tutors. This week high schools around the state are taking the OGTs.

Safe Routes Expansion While construction on the sidewalk at Haskett near the school has not begun yet, it may be expanded. The Ohio Department of Transportation strongly encouraged Kline to apply for a second route of federal Safe Routes to Schools grants, of which council approved Tuesday. The Safe Routes project currently covers new sidewalks for Forest Road, the east side of Haskett, and the south side of Hamilton. The asphalt walkway that runs behind the Lowry building also will be widened. The asphalt walkway is already in existence, however, it is not wide enough for both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. With the grant money, the path will be widened to 5 feet and lighting will be added. The path leads from Hasket Road up to the campus of the new school. If approved, the second round of Safe Routes grants would extend the sidewalk and bike path along Hasket up to Milton-Potsdam Road. Construction is scheduled to begin late winter of 2014. For more information about that project, contact Ohio Department of Transportation’s project manager Justin Yoh at (937) 497-6897.

top three parks and recreation options for the space. The winners were basketball courts, with 18 percent of the votes; splash pad at 17 percent; and a skate park, with 15 percent of the votes. A map, sketched by Dakota Albaugh, was provided for the actual village council with a possible layout to include these options. Between the map, ordinance, and general behavior of the students, many of those in chambers were impressed with their work. “To do (government) at a local level, you have to care,” Kline said to the students. “It’s my impression that you do care. To think that we have this potential leadership for the future, it bodes well for a bright future.” Nealeigh and Albaugh were joined by mock council members Katie Purtee, Sam Brady, Logan Lightcap and Hunter Wiltshire. Noah Barth and Clay Hill were mayor and vice-mayor, respectively. Austin Dickison served as clerk of council, Mallory Pumphrey was the law director, and Craig Hollis headed out the government collective as municipal manager.

meeting after the regular village council on Tuesday night. “This is a good hands-on learning project,” Grafflin said, saying hands-on learning can be hard to come by in social studies courses. As part of the project, the group of seniors brainstormed several options for city improvements, settling on passing a resolution to correct the three-way intersection of Jay, Market and Stillwater. “This is a not safe intersection,” said student and mock council member Katelin Nealeigh. The students’ solution was to place a convex mirror on the telephone pole at the intersection, facing drivers from Jay. They originally introduced the idea at the council workshop on Feb. 26, and then voted on the resolution at their mock council meeting Tuesday. “I would like to applaud you on the legislation that you passed tonight,” Kline told the seniors. When the students originally introduced the idea at the workshop, Kline and Supervisor of Streets and Grounds Ben Herron decided to go ahead and order the mirror. They were waiting to install it after the students officially approved the resolution, so the mirror should be installed this weekend. “Ben and I are hoping that the students can see the impact they can have by participating in the process,” Kline said. The mock council also presented a pie chart and sketch map of options for the grass space left after the demolition of the elementary and middle school building. The village officially entered a 20-year lease agreement with Milton-Union Schools on Nov. 13, 2012, with a resolution passage that supported using the land on 112 S. Spring St., which was home to Milton-Union’s elementary and middle school buildings. The agreement also includes the five tennis courts on Jay Road.

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 The New York Times on the UN Commission on the Status of Women: Some horrific events over the past few months, including the shooting of a Pakistani schoolgirl and the rape and murder of a young Indian physiotherapy student, should have been an alert for the world to unite in preventing violence against women. But if a conference now under way at the United Nations is any guide, that message has not resounded with the necessary urgency. Halfway into their two-week annual meeting, delegates to the Commission on the Status of Women fear they will not be able to agree on a final communiqué, just like last year. Who is to blame? Delegates and activists are pointing fingers at the Vatican, Iran and Russia for trying to eliminate language in a draft communiqué asserting that the familiar excuses — religion, custom, tradition — cannot be used by governments to duck their obligation to eliminate violence. The United Nations Human Rights Council endorsed similar language just six months ago. Conservative hard-liners seem determined to fight it out again. They have also objected to references to abortion rights, as well as language suggesting that rape also includes forcible behavior by a woman’s husband or partner. Poland, Egypt, other Muslim states and conservative American Christian groups have criticized one or more parts of the draft. The efforts by the Vatican and Iran to control women are well known. It is not clear what motivates Russia, although there is a strong antifeminist strain in President Vladimir V. Putin’s government. He may also be trying to curry favor with Islamic states. In any case, the suggestion that traditional values justify the violation of basic human rights is spurious. As Inga Marte Thorkildsen, Norway’s gender equality minister, has noted, “Violence against women must be seen as a human rights issue, and that has nothing to do with culture or religion.” Daily News, Bowling Green, Ky., on border security: The apprehension of a Nepalese man who tried to cross our southern border illegally last November near McAllen, Texas, makes the very unsettling point that border security could be a life and death matter for our citizens. The man in question was found to be infected with a particularly deadly strain of tuberculosis known as XDR, which can be almost untreatable. … This strain had only been seen once before in this country prior to last November. It is gratifying that the Nepalese man was apprehended and placed in quarantine, but the great unknown is how many more similarly infected individuals may have slipped across the border undetected. Border security is certainly better now than it was a few years ago, but the real question should be is it good enough. The fact our border is still more porous than it should be is certainly not lost on the likes of al-Qaida. Are terrorist sleeper cells here already that used this entry point? For the health and safety of our citizens, border security must be an integral part of needed immigration reform. There is another reason found in the U.S. Constitution that in our judgment has received far too little attention. Article 4, section 4 states that “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government and shall protect each of them against invasion.” It is not much of a stretch to suggest that when millions of illegal immigrants enter our country contrary to our laws, it rises to the level of an invasion.

DOONESBURY

A hero ain’t nothing but a sandwich to me I’ve often wondered, during idle moments (most of which occur when I’m in the bathroom), how often does greatness pass us by because we do not recognize the opportunity? I have to believe there are many times in life in which the chance to accomplish something truly heroic grazes us on the cheek as is passes like a whisper in the wind because we do not recognize it as it stands before us. What if Bill Gates had decided computers were a passing fad like the hula hoop or the pet rock? What is Neil Armstrong had decided what he really wanted to do with his life was sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door? What if Elvis Preseley had never been encouraged by his first grade teacher to enter a singing contest after she heard him sing a rendition of “Old Shep?” How many times has each and every one of us let greatness slip through our fingers — not for lack of talent, but rather for lack of recognition? How much different would our lives be now had we recognized those opportunities when they were presented to us? More than that, how much different would the world we live in today be? And — much more than any of that — how fast could I eat a 16-inch, 2-pound cheesesteak sandwich? Two years ago, The Submarine House in Troy introduced its Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge. The challenge was open to all comers

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor — anyone who could consume a 16-inch, 2-pound cheesesteak sub loaded with 1.5 pounds of ribeye steak, cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, oil, vinegar and pepper relish in less than 16 minutes would not only get the sandwich for free, but also a free T-shirt and a qualifying spot in the store finals. The winner from each store within the chain would then go on to compete in the chain championship — the winner of which would receive a championship belt and free subs for an entire year. I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of competitive eating. Long before Takeru Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut became household names for gobbling Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs in a borderline-suicidal fashion, I thrilled at the gastronomical exploits of eating legends such as Ed “Cookie” Jarvis, Eric “Badlands” Booker and “Crazy Legs” Conti. Forget about men such as Pete Rose or Michael Jordan — these were my heroes. These were the men I wanted to

emulate. Perhaps because I admired these men so much, I neglected to take on the Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge. I think, deep down, I feared failure. I didn’t want to let them down even more than I didn’t want to let myself down. But this year — at the behest of 2011 champion and Troy High School graduate Kris Mick — I decided to take the challenge. And by “behest,” what I really mean is “he called me a lot of names not suitable for print in a family newspaper” if I refused his offer. So last Friday — alongside the 6-foot-6, 270-pound former Troy and University of South Carolina football player — I showed up to take the challenge. After a few drinks (we’ll get to that part later), I was ready to attempt to eat my way to greatness. Now I have spent most of my life eating small amounts of food extremely fast and extremely large amounts of food very slow — but never had I tried to eat very large amounts of food very fast. I wasn’t sure quite what to make of the concept. So I did what any good competitive eater would do. I began stuffing food into my face as quickly as I could. I completely disregarded chewing. I tore off huge bites of food and began swallowing them whole. And it actually worked — for about three minutes. Three minutes into the 16minute challenge, I had con-

sumed about half of the sandwich. That’s about the time I hit the wall. Or, more to the point, the wall hit me. See, I had a theory going into the challenge. Nothing puts me in the mood to eat more than a few adult beverages. They key word being “few.” I figured the more food I was about to eat, the more adult beverages I should consume. Turned out to be a flawed theory. After eating the first half of the sub in 3 minutes, it took me nearly 9 minutes to finish the second half. It was one of the most grueling experiences of my entire life. I felt as though my jaw was coming unhinged and my stomach was becoming distended to the point of exploding. But, through sheer force of will, I finished every bite of that sandwich in under the time limit. The sandwich was free, the T-shirt was free and the glory was mine. I was master of all I surveyed. For about 10 minutes. That’s when I revisited the meal. Over and over again. I don’t think it was the food that did it as much as the adult beverages. In any event, it wasn’t a pleasant evening. But I’m OK with that. When greatness came calling, I was ready. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Feed me more!

Grandmother who killed grandson: ‘I feared him’ PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A 75-year-old woman charged with first-degree murder sobbed on the witness stand Wednesday as she told jurors how she repeatedly shot her teenage grandson after he kicked her in the abdomen and demanded money and a car to leave Michigan. Sandra Layne described herself as an overwhelmed grandmother who took Jonathan Hoffman into her Detroit-area home after his parents divorced and moved to Arizona. She said she “adored” the 17-year-old, but their relationship changed when the teen got involved with drugs. “Did you want to kill this young man?” defense attorney Jerome Sabbota asked. “Of course not. I still love him,” Layne replied, crying and nervously rocking in the witness chair. Authorities said Layne fired 10 shots, striking Hoffman six times, even while he was on the phone with 911 begging for help from their West Bloomfield Township home. His death in May 2012 occurred as Michigan officials were cracking down on the sale of so-called synthetic marijuana, known as K2 or Spice, because of its adverse effects on young people. An autopsy revealed traces of it in his body. Layne answered questions from her lawyer for more than an hour, mostly talking about the months that preceded the fatal shooting, all in an attempt to show jurors that the slender, gray-haired woman was becoming deeply fearful of her grandson. She said Hoffman attended an alternative high school, used drugs and spent time with friends whom she didn’t know or trust. Layne said he couldn’t control his temper if things went wrong, destroying computer equipment and kicking doors and the car dashboard. Sabbota played a 911 call to police two months before Hoffman’s death when she believed he was planning to run away. “I know you hate me for this, honey, but you need some help,” she told Hoffman in a conversation that was picked up on the 911 recording. Layne told jurors she was “desperate and didn’t know what to do.” She said she bought a gun in April 2012 because she feared that her grandson’s friends were dangerous and might steal her valuables. On the day of the shooting, Layne said, Hoffman had flunked a drug test and was at risk of being sent to jail for violating probation in a marijuana case. She said he demanded $2,000 and the keys to her car. “I went into my bedroom and started

ly objected to the sanity review because the Army would not allow the proceedings to be recorded, would not let Bales have a lawyer present, and would not agree to appoint a neuropsychologist expert in traumatic brain injuries to be involved. They also objected because the “short-form” results of such exams, with answers about his mental health diagnosis and mental state at the time of the attack, often are provided automatically to military prosecutors, with the rest of the results being turned over only if the accused raises mental health as a defense to the charges. However, Bales’ attorneys argued that even letting prosecutors have the short form would give them information based on compelled statements from the defendant, in possible violation of his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. At a hearing in January, the judge ordered the sanity review to go forward. His written order later made clear that the prosecutors would not receive

Emma Scanlan, another lawyer for Bales. “They’re not going to get that information, which is why our client is agreeing to participate,” Scanlan said. Browne has previously said the defense team has obtained medical records from Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington state indicating Bales had suffered from a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, but he described those records as incomplete. Bales’ mental health has been expected to be a key part of his defense. Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield, an Army spokesman at the base, confirmed that the sanity review will begin Sunday. Last week, six Afghan civilians who are expected to testify at Bales’ trial traveled to Lewis-McChord. The purpose of the trip was to familiarize them with the process and logistics for the court martial, Dangerfield said. Among the visitors was Haji Mohammad Naim, who was shot and wounded during the massacre, said Lela Ahmadzai, an Afghan filmmaker who said she spoke with relatives of the victims recently. Ahmadzai, who lives in Germany, marked this week’s anniversary of the killings by releasing a web documentary about the attack, “Silent Night: The Kandahar Massacre,” including dramatic interviews with some of the victims recorded in October. “It’s really hard to hear about it from the kids’ perspective,” she said. “I wanted to show them, to give them a space to talk. They don’t usually get that.”

OBITUARIES

Lawyer: Bales to undergo sanity review on Sunday SEATTLE (AP) — A U.S. soldier charged with killing 16 Afghan civilians is expected to undergo a court-ordered review of his sanity beginning this weekend, after the military judge overseeing the case agreed that the results would not automatically be shared with prosecutors, his lawyers said Wednesday. The review of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales by Army doctors will start Sunday and could last three to seven days, BALES said attorney John Henry Browne. Such reviews are aimed at discerning a defendant’s mental state at the time of the crime and competency to stand trial. The Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., is accused of murdering Afghan villagers, mostly women and children, during pre-dawn raids on March 11, 2011. Bales, who was on his fourth combat deployment, slipped away from his base in southern Afghanistan to attack two nearby villages and returned soaked in blood, prosecutors say. He has not entered a plea. The Army is seeking the death penalty.

N.J. Transit approves $17M more for Sandy recovery Funding earmarked for engineering and consulting companies NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Transit on Wednesday approved $17 million for contractors already involved in postSuperstorm Sandy repair work, a move that will allow work to continue while the agency awaits word on how much it will receive from the federal government for long-term flood prevention projects. The agency’s board approved the additional funding at its monthly board meeting. The $17 million will go to engineering and consulting companies that have been involved in repairing hundreds of damaged rail cars and locomotives and the flooded Hoboken Terminal and Meadows Maintenance Complex yard in Kearny. This week NJ Transit was approved by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority to apply for $1.275 billion in grants from the federal government for flood prevention and mitigation projects. The authority is a federally authorized organization that must approve transportation improvement projects in northern New Jersey that seek federal funds. Several engineering

and consulting companies have been involved in projects that include repairing electrical wiring poles on the Gladstone Branch of the Morris & Essex Line; work at the Hoboken Terminal and the Meadow Maintenance Complex, both of which sustained historic flooding in the late October storm, and repairing waterlogged rail cars and locomotives. The federal money NJ Transit is seeking would continue that work and fund other projects. About $565 million would be used to safeguard NJ Transit’s rolling stock and rail yards by building, buying or leasing temporary and permanent rail yard locations for use as emergency storage and inspection facilities and protecting existing yards system-wide against flooding. The agency was criticized for not moving its cars and locomotives out of yards in Hoboken and Kearny before the superstorm, which was spawned when Hurricane Sandy merged with two other weather systems. More than 300 were damaged, and 200 are awaiting repair, according to information on NJ

Transit’s website. Other proposed projects include $150 million for flood control at the Hoboken, Secaucus Junction and Bay Head stations and nearly $200 million for measures to protect electrical substations, build a sea wall and other structures to protect bridges damaged by Sandy and replace or safeguard electrical poles and signals. NJ Transit executive director James Weinstein called them “hardcore infrastructure projects,” some of which may have been contemplated previously but became necessities after Sandy. “What we’re trying to do is make sure the structural integrity of infrastructure doesn’t get undermined,” he said. NJ Transit’s assistant executive director of capital planning and programs, Steve Santoro, said the electrical substation that serves the Hoboken Terminal and that was only restored this week could cost $20 million to $25 million to rebuild to new flood-prevention specifications. He said smaller substations could cost $5 million to $10 million. As much as $300 million of the estimated $450 million in damage systemwide to NJ Transit could eventually be covered by insurance, Weinstein said Wednesday.

Husband should treat you like a full partner in your marriage

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Events Calendar 8 p.m.: Have History Will Travel 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: What do you do when your husband controls the money? I'm 68 years old, and for the past 10 years, "Robert" has paid the bills and has hidden the checkbook from me. Robert told me I need to pay my own bills. He has a retirement income, and he still works. I receive Social Security. I have always been thrifty, and although I have a debit card, I am only allowed to use it for necessary things like groceries. I pay for my clothes, haircuts, etc. I bought a new coat yesterday with my own money. Robert scolded me and told me to watch my spending. Robert does not see how his controlling behavior affects me. Is coping all I can do? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Craving Trust Dear Craving: Controlling the finances can be a form of abuse. Hiding the checkbook also keeps you in the dark about where Robert's money is going. There is no reason to tolerate such behavior. You are a full partner in this marriage and are entitled to see the checkbook, the bank statements and any other financial business that concerns you. If you are afraid of Robert's reaction, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE. Dear Annie: I'm in a quandary about my little girl. She believes her mom's boyfriend is her father, but a DNA test proves that I am her true biological father. The boyfriend does not know, but just about everyone else does. My daughter is now 6 years old, and I want to tell her the truth. Will I be doing more harm than good? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Perplexed in Poughkeepsie Dear Perplexed: If the little girl has a solid and loving relationship with the man she believes is her father, your sudden assumption of that role might be traumatizing for her. You also will be responsible for child support. However, if "everyone else" knows, it's only a matter of time before the current boyfriend and your child learn the truth. It is better if this information comes from her mother in a gentle and compassionate way, so Mom's support is crucial in making this easier. Please ask the mother to come with you for mediation to see whether you can work on being a part of the child's life. You can discuss it with your clergyperson or a trained counselor, or contact your local family court for a referral to a family mediation program. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "A Good Man Gone Celibate," who has given up relationships because he can't find any good women among the gold diggers, scheming manipulators, entitlement princesses, Toxic Thelmas and serial divorcees. I don't think it's fair to blame all women for what is on the dating sites. Most of us are not like that. I own my own home and car and love the job I've had for 16 years. My kids are all grown and on their own. I have little drama in my life. My girlfriends and I have been on most of these sites, and all we get are men who only want sex or those who want to marry you the first time they meet you. We are tired of this. It seems that most men don't want to take the time to establish any kind of relationship that doesn't end up in bed after a couple of hours of talking. My profile says, "If you can carry a conversation for more than 10 minutes without using sexual innuendos or sending naked pictures, please contact me." Needless to say, I don't get a lot of contact. I have been off and on these sites for six years. I, too, get frustrated and disgusted, but I will walk away for a while and come back with a different attitude. Also, Annie, if he takes your advice and chooses more wisely, he may find what he's looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lady with Morals 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. YESTERDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple precautions can help prevent a dryer fire Dear Heloise: I recently purchased an electric dryer. Before the deliveryman installed the new one, I vacuumed out the exhaust hose and was surprised to get a lot of lint. I noticed that the dryer did not completely dry the clothes on the setting I chose, so I tried another setting, with success. I put in another load, and shortly after, I noticed a red light under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;check ventâ&#x20AC;? option. My husband went outside and took the cap off the dryer vent, stuck his hand inside and pulled out compacted lint. I truly was amazed, as I always clean the lint filter inside the dryer after each load. The manual says to clean the

Hints from Heloise Columnist exhaust hose every two years, but I recommend once a year to be safe. Since I was careful to clean the lint filter, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the exhaust hose a thought. This could have started a fire. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sue W. in Ohio Sue, thanks for the very important reminder! The National Fire Protection Association

(www.nfpa.org) tells us that the No. 1 cause of home dryer fires is due to dryers (mainly the lint filter and hose) not being cleaned. Here are some safety hints they suggest: â&#x20AC;˘ Have a professional install the dryer. â&#x20AC;˘ Clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry you dry. â&#x20AC;˘ If your dryer has plastic or foil accordion-style ducts/hoses, replace it with a rigid metal duct. (Heloise Here: Check right now!) â&#x20AC;˘ Once a year, clean out the duct or hose completely. â&#x20AC;˘ NEVER leave the dryer running when you are not home, or after you have gone to bed, especially if your bedroom is located

far from the laundry room. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise P.S.: How many of you have had a clothes dryer be the cause of a home fire? HOME COOKING Dear Heloise: My elderly parents didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want or need any more â&#x20AC;&#x153;things,â&#x20AC;? so my husband and I decided to give them dinners. We prepared the dinners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as stuffed peppers, pot roast, soups and stews. We gave the food to them to finish cooking when they wanted dinner. All they had to do was put it in the oven to roast it or heat it up on the stove. They really loved gifts like this, and it made their dinner so easy. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barb F., via email

ARLO & JANIS

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, March 15, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This morning, someone might thwart you in financial matters. Fortunately, by this afternoon, the brakes are off and you can see new ways of earning money. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be patient with others in the morning, because people are easily critical of each other. Later in the day, look for ways to improve your appearance. Take a realistic look in the mirror. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Don’t ask for permission from a boss this morning, because the answer will be, “Talk to the hand.” Wait until later in the day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your responsibilities related to children might be considerable this morning. Try to be organized regarding this. Later in the day, a powerful person might cause you to change your goals. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be patient with older family members this morning. Don’t ask for anything. This afternoon, however, you can make improvements to your job and your relationship with authority figures. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t get hung up in worry mode this morning. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but get you nowhere.” Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You feel broke. (Join the club; we number millions.) Fortunately, by late afternoon you see new uses for something you own or new ways to share something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussions with partners and close friends are stiff and a bit difficult this morning. Give others a wide birth. Late in the day, this same person might have excellent suggestions. Who knew? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with co-workers today, and refrain from being critical. Later in the day, look for ways to improve your health or introduce reforms where you work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a tricky day for romantic partners because doom and gloom are in the air. Be patient. As the day wears on, a positive energy grows and things look much better. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Older relatives might discourage you. Don’t let this get you down. Later in the day, look for ways to make home improvements. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t get caught up in negative thinking, because it’s paralyzing and infectious. Just be patient, because by nightfall, you will be full of innovative ideas about how to improve something. YOU BORN TODAY You’re ambitious and hardworking. This is how you rise to a high position in any group. (Hard work pays off.) Some of you are even attracted to heights, mountaineering and such. Because you are driven, it’s important for you to clearly define your goals. People love your enthusiasm and charismatic personality. Expect a social year ahead where all your relationships will improve. Birthdate of: will.i.am, recording artist; Eva Longoria, actress; Judd Hirsch, actor. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, March 14, the 73rd day of 2013. There are 292 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 14, 1923, President Warren G. Harding became the first chief executive to file an income tax return, paying a tax of $17,990 on his $75,000 salary. On this date: • In 1794, Eli Whitney received a patent for his cotton gin, an invention that revolutionized America’s cotton industry. • In 1939, the republic of Czechoslovakia was dissolved, opening the way for Nazi occupation of

Czech areas and the separation of Slovakia. • In 1964, a jury in Dallas found Jack Ruby guilty of murdering Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, and sentenced him to death. (Both the conviction and death sentence were later overturned, but Ruby died before he could be retried.) • In 1967, the body of President John F. Kennedy was moved from a temporary grave to a permanent memorial site at Arlington National Cemetery. • Five years ago: Lindsey Vonn completed the first American sweep

of the overall World Cup titles in 25 years, a day after Bode Miller won his second overall crown in Bormio, Italy. • Today’s Birthdays: Former astronaut Frank Borman is 85. Actor Michael Caine is 80. Composer-conductor Quincy Jones is 80. Former astronaut Eugene Cernan is 79. Country singer Michael Martin Murphey is 68. Comedian Billy Crystal is 65. Actor Adrian Zmed is 59. Prince Albert II, the ruler of Monaco, is 55. Country singer Kristian Bush is 43. Rock musician Derrick (Jimmie’s Chicken Shack) is 41. Actor Chris Klein is 34. Actor Jamie Bell is 27.

Maduro: Chavez long-term embalming is unlikely CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s acting president said Wednesday that it is highly unlikely Hugo Chavez will be embalmed for permanent viewing because the decision to do so was made too late and the socialist leader’s body was not properly prepared on time. “The decision should have been made much earlier,” Nicolas Maduro said during a speech at a government-run book fair. “The decision, or really the proposal more than a decision, was made as a product of love.” President Chavez died on March 5. The decision to preserve his body permanently was announced two days later. Chavez’s embalmed body was to be put on display at a military museum on a hill a mile from the presidential palace, where it was to have CHAVEZ been transferred on Friday. Maduro suggested the body would still be placed there. “The world’s best” experts, Russian and Germans, were brought in and consulted on the embalming and advised authorities that it was probably not possible, said Maduro. He did not go into detail. A Colombian embalmer, Camilo Jaramillo, said that in order to forestall decomposition a body needs to be chemically treated without hours of death unless it is kept refrigerated at 41

degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius). “What I really thought was odd, and what raised a lot of questions, is that they were putting him on display in vigil,” said Jaramillo. Indeed, the body was still on display Wednesday at the military academy where it has lain in state for a week. The idea of placing Chavez on permanent display, like Vladimir Lenin, Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong as Maduro said when he announced it, was influenced by visiting leaders, said Maduro. He did not name the leaders but Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia, Jose Mujica of Uruguay and Cristina Fernandez of Argentina all arrived in Venezuela the day after Chavez died. Maduro said that regardless of what authorities decided to do with the body “we will have our comandante open so that our people can accompany him permanently.” “His place of Christian rest will be a most beautiful place, it is already a most beautiful place,” he added. The embalmer, Jaramillo, had one theory as to why the government had apparently changed its mind on embalming. In several videos recorded before his death, Chavez is seen saying he wishes to be buried in Sabaneta, his hometown. “He didn’t want to be embalmed,” said Jaramillo. “Perhaps they took into account some of his wishes.”

Steubenville football players’ rape trial begins STEUBENVILLE (AP) — A “substantially impaired” 16year-old girl was unable to consent to sex and suffered humiliation and degradation when she was raped by two high school football players after an alcoholfueled party, a prosecutor said Wednesday at the start of a trial that’s drawn international attention to a small, football-loving city in eastern Ohio. The first day of the juvenile

trial became a contest between prosecutors determined to show the girl was so drunk she couldn’t have been a willing participant that night, and defense attorneys soliciting comments from witnesses that would indicate that the girl, though drunk, knew what she was doing. The case has divided the community amid allegations that more students should have been charged and led to questions

about the influence of the local football team, a source of a pride in a community that suffered massive job losses with the collapse of the steel industry. Steubenville High School football players Mays and Ma’Lik Richmond both maintain their innocence. In his opening statement, Mays’ attorney, Brian Duncan, said his 17-year-old client “did not rape the young lady in question.” Richmond’s

The little things Attention to details has Eagles in regional final BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com One little thing killed TriVillage. And Troy Christian’s meticulous attention to detail paid off. The Patriots, the undefeated No. 1 team in the state in Division IV entering Tuesday’s regional semifinal game at Trent Arena, went 10 for 23 from the free throw line — an abysmal-for-a-Sweet-16-team 43 percent. Still, they were able to rally from a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit and take the Eagles into overtime. But Troy Christian (25-2) put

All because Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki knows how

important those little things are and has instilled that in his team since he took the job. “Free throws are always important, and our kids have been money from the line from Day 1,” he said. “I have a lot of confidence in every one of our players stepping up to the line.” And with Tri-Village sitting at 2 for 10 from the line in the middle of the fourth quarter — and losing 37-30 — it was hard not to look at free throw percentage as the biggest factor in the game throughout. “For Tri-Village, once a couple of their guys missed a few, it started getting contagious,”

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ashley Morrissette’s greatest gift is her ability to make her teammates even better. Since she plays for arguably the best team in Ohio, it follows in logical progression she would be an easy pick as the 26th winner of The Associated Press Ms. Basketball award, emblematic of the top player in the state. “I would say that I’m an allaround player,” she says when asked to describe her game. “I can shoot if you leave me open, I can take it to the hole. I play really good defense and I’m also a distributor for my teammates. I like to make other players around me better.” Since her team, Twinsburg, has won the last two Division I state championships and enters this weekend’s big-school state tournament at Value City Arena with a spotless 28-0 record and the AP’s No. 1 ranking in the regular season, she must be pretty good at what she does. Her coach, Julie Solis, also said that she lifts the level of the rest of the Tigers. But she said Morrissette is much, much more than just someone who pads her stats on a great team. “She’s the kid who hits bigtime shots. She wants the ball in her hands,” she said. “But when it’s not necessary, she’s definitely making everybody around her better. Her passing, her vision she’s got a lot of strengths.” A 5-foot-9 senior, Morrissette averaged 19.1 points, 6.5 assists, 5 rebounds and 5 steals while shooting 50 percent from the field and 82 percent at the line. Twinsburg plays Lewis Center Olentangy Orange in a state semifinal on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Ohio State’s Value City Arena. Few players ever get to step into the bright lights of a state tournament game. Morrissette appreciates that she’s been surrounded by players and coaches who have helped her spend many glowing moments of her career there. “Winning the first one really motivated me to keep winning,” she said. “I just didn’t want to win the first one and then fall off. I wanted to continue on with that habit of winning.” Of course, that draws the attention of everyone, from college scouts to other coaches and players.

Bearcats advance in Big East tourney Matta preps OSU for Big Ten tourney

A fast start and a strong finish gave Cincinnati an important win for its NCAA tournament resume. Sean Kilpatrick scored 17 points to lead the Bearcats past Providence 61-44 on Wednesday in a Big East tournament game between teams desperate to improve their postseason credentials. See Page 14.

Plenty of big names on the move in NFL Wes Welker sure knows how to pick his quarterbacks. The star receiver, Tom Brady’s favorite target, is leaving New England and heading to Denver, where he’ll join Peyton Manning and the Broncos. See Page 14.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State coach Thad Matta is busily preparing his team for what promises to be, based on a crazy season of upsets and close calls involving its national powerhouses, a crazy Big Ten tournament. Matta, who seldom lets his emotions get very far away, first had something he wanted to get off his chest before talking about the tournament that gets under way on Thursday at United Center in Chicago. Two of his players — Big Ten scoring leader Deshaun Thomas and versatile point guard Aaron Craft — were listed on the Big

Ten’s first-team in media voting this week. But Matta was rankled that the league’s coaches voted to give the defensive player of the year honor to Indiana’s Victor Oladipo rather than Craft. “The only one that I’m amazed is … I think Victor Oladipo is a tremendous, outstanding, awesome defender, one of the best I’ve ever seen,” Matta began. “But Aaron Craft is in another whole world when it comes to defense.” Matta said his Buckeyes (237), who play the winner of Nebraska and Purdue in Friday

7 teams possibly vying for top seeds in tourney By The Associated Press Up to seven teams could be in the running for No. 1 seeds in the NCAA men’s tournament, the chairman of the selection committee said Wednesday, providing a lot more uncertainty than a year ago. Mike Bobinski, who is also the athletic director at Xavier, said the coveted seeds were more obvious in 2012, when the only suspense was who would get the last of the No. 1 spots. “A year ago, I think the

one line of the tournament and bracket was in pretty clear focus,” said Bobinski, who is leaving Xavier to take over as Georgia Tech’s AD after the tournament. “This year looks a little bit different. I anticipate there will be a number of teams we’ll be considering and discussing for that one line of the bracket.” Not surprising, given a wide-open season where no team has established itself as clearly the class of the field. “It’s probably as big as

it’s ever been,” Bobinski said, talking about potential No. 1 seeds. “I’m not sure it’s any larger than a couple years back, but there’s probably never been any more for the top line.” A year ago, everyone knew Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina would get the top spots, even though all lost in their conference tournaments. Michigan State received the final No. 1 after a victory over Ohio State in the Big Ten title game, just hours before the 68-team field was

announced. This year, Gonzaga is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press rankings for the first time ever, but doesn’t come from one of the glamour conferences. Second-ranked Duke is projected as the top team in the RPI, a crucial component in the selection committee process. Traditional powerhouses Indiana, Louisville, Georgetown and Kansas are also in contention for top seeds, with their final seeding likely dependent on how they do in their conference

tournaments. “I can’t speak for the entire committee, but as I walk into our process this year I would tell you I’ve probably got seven teams in my mind for the first four spots,” Bobinski said. “That will come into focus in the next few days, but it’s more than four for the top four.” The top seeds are crucial, because the selection committee makes a special effort to ensure those teams play close to home in the opening rounds and, if possible, won’t have to face a team at any

point up to the Final Four where they would be at a definite geographical disadvantage. While there have been some questions about the No. 1 teams getting too much of a favorable ride, Bobinski doesn’t buy that argument at all. “I don’t feel at all that we’re over-favoring the top seeds. They’ve earned that,” he said. “We’re not setting out to advantage them any further than what they’ve earned by being the best four teams in the country.”

Welker, Bush on the move

Put it on a resume

By The Associated Press Wes Welker sure knows how to pick his quarterbacks. The star receiver, Tom Brady’s favorite target, is leaving New England and heading to Denver, where he’ll join Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Also getting new deals were Reggie Bush in Detroit, Dashon Goldson in Tampa Bay, and even Ray Lewis with ESPN. Day 2 of the NFL’s free agency frenzy was highlighted by Welker grabbing a two-year deal with the Broncos, who had the AFC’s best regular-season record last year. He gives Manning one of the steadiest targets the four-time league MVP ever has had. Broncos boss John Elway said on Twitter: “Excited to have Wes join the Broncos. His production & toughness will be a great asset!” The best slot receiver in the league, Welker caught 118 passes for

1,354 yards and six TDs last season. Denver added defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, too. Bush agreed to a fouryear deal and could fill a huge hole at running back. The Lions haven’t been able to count on 2010 first-round draft pick Jahvid Best, whose career is in doubt because of concussion issues. “It’s a running back’s dream,” Bush said. “One of the reasons I wanted to come here is to be able to bring a balanced attack.” Bush adds to a strong offense led by record-setting All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson. The second overall pick in 2006 by New Orleans, Bush rushed for 986 yards for Miami last season after gaining 1,086 yards in 2011, his first year with the Dolphins. The Lions also landed safety Glover Quin and defensive end Jason Jones and retained cornerback Chris Houston.

Kruger lands with Browns BEREA (AP) — An unexpected purge pushed Paul Kruger out of Baltimore, where he was just one of the guys. Cleveland’s early spending splurge in free agency landed with the Browns, who are counting on the linebacker to get to the quarterback and lead their restocked defense. They hope he can be a star. Cashing in on a breakout season with the Ravens, Kruger signed a five-year, $40 million contract on Wednesday with the Browns. The 27-yearold was a part-time player on one of the NFL’s top defenses. He’s now gone from a Super Bowl winner to a perennial loser the Browns have lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons. But that hardly matters to Kruger, who wants to prove last season was no fluke. “Leaving Baltimore gives you the opportunity to step out of a couple shad-

ows that you might have been in when you were there,” Kruger said. “That’s not a negative thing in any way. Terrell Suggs, Ray Lewis, Haloti Ngata, those are older brothers to me, and they’re guys who I text on a daily basis and I’m very close with. “But, yeah, I definitely see that as an opportunity for me to be able to show that I can do a lot of things.” The Browns began free agency more than $47 million under the salary cap, and in the first 24 hours of the market being open, they signed Kruger, lineman Desmond Bryant and linebacker Quentin Groves, three players to begin the transformation from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4 multifront defense under new coordinator Ray Horton. Kruger finished with 13 sacks last season — four in the playoffs when he finally got a chance to start after being a reserve during his first three seasons.

Bearcats win in Big East tourney, improve NCAA chances NEW YORK (AP) — A fast start and a strong finish gave Cincinnati an important win for its NCAA tournament resume. Sean Kilpatrick scored 17 points to lead the Bearcats past Providence 61-44 on Wednesday in a Big East tournament game between teams desperate to improve their postseason credentials. “Great effort by our guys on the defensive end of the floor,” Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. “We outrebound people despite our lack of size, and so credit to the kids in the uniforms. They’ve got great toughness, and they’re really committed to winning.” JaQuon Parker added 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Bearcats (22-10), who might have solidified an NCAA tournament berth with the victory. No. 9 seed Cincinnati advanced to a quarterfinal matchup Thursday with fifth-ranked Georgetown, the tournament’s top seed. The Hoyas won at Cincinnati 62-55 on Feb. 15. “We know they’re a great team, but like we talked about earlier, we’re a great team as well,” Kilpatrick said. “Especially the way we’re playing defense the way we are. We’re a team that’s hungry. We’re a team that’s not going to back down from anyone, and we’re going to come out and give our best fight every night.” Kadeem Batts led the eighth-seeded Friars (1714) with 14 points and eight rebounds, but Bryce Cotton — the conference’s leading scorer at 19.6 points per game — was held to 12 on 5-for-15 shooting. He missed all seven 3point attempts, and Providence went 1 for 16 from beyond the arc. “Yeah, gross,” coach Ed Cooley said. Wearing special uniforms with neon trim and hideous camouflage-patterned shorts, Cincinnati hounded the Friars into 28 percent shooting from the field (18 for 64). Both teams struggled to score for most of the second half, though. Trying to erase an early 18-point deficit, Providence cut it to 43-37 with 5:09 remaining on a tough layup by Cotton. Kilpatrick answered with a 3-pointer,

Two more free throws by Parker extended Cincinnati’s cushion to 5139 with 3:54 to go, and the Friars never got closer than eight again. Kilpatrick, from nearby Yonkers, sealed it with a three-point play that made it a 14-point game at the 1:41 mark. “I think our pressure affected them, no doubt,” Cronin said. “Their lack of depth probably, and our pressure defense.” In their final chance for an NCAA tournament push, both teams entered

this second-round matchup eager to make a splash. Cincinnati appeared to be in better position, with a 20-win season already secured and an RPI ranking of 49. But the Bearcats faded late in the regular season, dropping six of their final nine games, while Providence became one of the best teams in the Big East once the calendar turned to February. No. 19 Syracuse 75, Seton Hall 63 NEW YORK — James Southerland hit five 3pointers in the first half to keep No. 19 Syracuse in the game and Brandon Triche keyed a big second-half run that gave the Orange a 75-

63 victory Wednesday in the second round of the Big East tournament. Villanova 66, St. John’s 53 NEW YORK — Mouphtaou Yarou made his first seven shots and scored 18 points, sending Villanova to a 66-53 victory over St. John’s in the second round of the Big East tournament Wednesday night. Ryan Arcidiacono added 15 points to help the seventh-seeded Wildcats (2012) move into the quarterfinals, where they will play Thursday night against fourth-ranked Louisville, the tournament’s No. 2 seed.

including wins at then-No. 2 Indiana and at home against fourth-ranked Michigan State. Ohio State has played in the Big Ten title game four years in a row and is brimming with confidence heading into this year’s tournament. “We’re playing awesome basketball right now,” said Thomas, who averaged 19.7 points a game to top the Big Ten. “We’re trusting in the system and we’re playing our roles. We know once we come and play our best defense, we’re the best defensive team in the country in my eyes. We just have to keep it going.”

Perhaps one of the reasons why the Buckeyes seem to play so well in the conference tournament is Matta’s simple instructions each year to his team. “These tournaments are for fans,” he said. “There’s no magic speech I’ll give going to Chicago. Honestly, we’ve kind of been very laid back going into this tournament in terms of saying, ‘Hey, let’s go have some fun and play some basketball.’ That’s sort of how we’ve always been.” Ohio State has won the Big Ten tournament three times in the last seven years and lost in the finale three other times. The only time the Buckeyes have missed

the championship game in that span was 2007-08. Four teams in the nation’s top 10 will be on display: No. 3 Indiana, No. 6 Michigan, No. 8 Michigan State and the Buckeyes. Wisconsin is ranked 22nd, and two other Big Ten teams were listed among the top 10 teams at one point this season, Illinois and Minnesota. “This is going to be a lot of fun,” Craft said. “Having all of us there at once and at a new arena that none of us have really been to. It’s going to be a good experience. Hopefully we can make a weekend of it. We’ll see.”

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 night’s quarterfinals, would not have finished tied for second in the conference, let alone be No. 10 in the country, if not for the pesky, turnover-producing Craft’s sleight of hand on defense. “This basketball team would not be anywhere near where it is without the impact he makes on the defensive end,” Matta said. “I’m not taking anything away from Oladipo. I think the guy is awesome. But Aaron doesn’t fly through the air and pin shots on the glass; he takes them from the guy’s hands when he’s on the floor.” For his part, Craft, a jun-

ior who holds Ohio State’s career record for steals and already ranks seventh in Big Ten history, said Oladipo deserved the award that he had won last season. “(Oladipo) did a great job of coming out and having a great year. I don’t think it’s a knock on me; it’s a testament to what he was able to do,” Craft said. “He’s that guy out there you’re always worrying about on the defensive end. You’ve got to give him a lot of credit. And obviously, they won the Big Ten championship so you’ve got to give him the edge.” Matta pointed to how many times Craft forced five-second calls during the

season, and how often he changed games by igniting Ohio State’s transition game with a steal. “I don’t even care about the Big Ten (award); (Craft) should be the national defender of the year,” Matta said. “Maybe I’m biased, but you have to gameplan for him. As an opposing team, you have to be aware of where he is when you’re running your offense. I’ve been in this league for nine years and I’ve never seen anybody have an impact on a basketball team like he does on the defensive end.” The Buckeyes, with Craft disrupting opposing offenses, have won five in a row

Starters solid for Reds, Indians GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barry Zito allowed a run while pitching 3 1-3 innings and Bronson Arroyo gave up one earned run in four in the San Francisco Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 9-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Zito gave up five hits and struck out three for the Giants in an outing against the team the World Series champions rallied from a 20 deficit to beat in a best-offive NL playoff series. left-hander Reds Arroyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throwing error on a bunt by former teammate Wilson Valdez allowed a run to score. Arroyo yielded four hits. Andres Torres left in the top of the third after being thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple. Torres had flu-like symptoms. Chris Heisey homered off Javier Lopez to tie the game at 3. It was his first of the spring.

Troy Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spencer Thomas goes up for a layup between two TriVillage defenders Tuesday at Trent Arena in the D-IV regional semis. â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 14 Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly those triceps started tightening up and it got in their heads. I think the pressure of the tournament snake-bit them a little bit.â&#x20AC;? But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time it happened, either. In the district title game, Fort Loramie shot below 50 percent in a narrow Eagle victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tri-Village goes a very uncharacteristic 10 for 23, Fort Loramie goes 6 for 14,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten lucky twice in a row now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then again, maybe it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t luck. Maybe our kids are wearing teams down with how hard they play on the defensive end. Our kids were on top of their game from a scouting report standpoint (against Tri-Village). We had a list of seven things we absolutely had to do, and the kids were successful on all seven.â&#x20AC;? And now the Eagles are bringing that attention to the minute details into Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional championship game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first one ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; against Delphos St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Blue Jays went through fellow Athletic Midwest Conference teams New Bremen and St. Henry to get to the regional level, then knocked off the Shelby County Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jackson Center 62-53 on Tuesday to set up the regional final matchup. And it will be a completely different ballgame for the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Delphos presents a totally different challenge than Tri-Village,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They

Troy Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian Salazar battles two Tri-Village players for a loose ball Tuesday night at Trent Arena. have no inside game, but they believe in dribble penetration and attack the tin hard. And everyone on their team can shoot the 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you help too much on defense, they kick out for 3. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help enough, they dribble right through you.â&#x20AC;? No matter how game goes, Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s though, it has been a historic season for Eagle Nation. Troy Christian started by winning its third straight Metro Buckeye Conference championship, then defeated Jefferson in the sectional semifinal and Yellow Springs to win its firstever sectional title. With

each new win being another new first, the Eagles knocked off the Redskins and Patriots â&#x20AC;Ś and sit one win away from a first-ever state tournament appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That name â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eagle Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kind of rose up out of this group, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun to watch it grow,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excitement in the air at the school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the players, either. I walk around and see teachers, students, administrators all smiling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great for the kids, for the student body and for Troy Christian overall.â&#x20AC;? And with the wrestling team fresh off its fourth team state

championship, the school is already overwhelmed with title fever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had state champion wrestlers in the front row rooting for us Tuesday night,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to see. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone a long way in connecting all of the people at Troy Christian into the one dream weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all after â&#x20AC;&#x201D; state.â&#x20AC;? But even with all the excitement and craziness, the Eagles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgetting to pay attention to all the little things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are focused on one game at a time right now,â&#x20AC;? Zawadzki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They look at the win over Tri-Village as step five â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and step six is Delphos St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;?

Indians 5, White Sox 2 GLENDALE, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ubaldo Jimenez pitched five solid innings, settling into a good groove after allowing two runs in the second, and Cord Phelps hit his second homer of spring training to lift the Cleveland Indians to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. After stringing together four hits in the second, including an RBI groundrule double to center by Gordon Beckham and a runscoring single by Dewayne Wise, the White Sox were held to two hits in the final six innings against Jimenez and four Indians relievers. Lonnie Chisenhall and Asdrubal Cabrera each doubled for the Indians, giving Cleveland a major leagueleading 46 doubles this spring. Alexei Ramirez (.409) singled twice and stole a base, and Wise had two singles for the White Sox.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 14 interview with ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;20/20â&#x20AC;? that was posted Tuesday, Richmond said the photo was a joke. He contends the girl was awake and was a willing participant, according to the report. The girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s level of inebriation quickly emerged as a key issue Wednesday. Following opening statements, prosecutors presented two witnesses, 17-yearold girls who saw the girl the night of the party. Elayna Andres, a Steubenville High School student, said the 16-year-old girl was having trouble walking but never appeared to pass out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She went over by the door and she stumbled, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the boys picked her up,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was conscious but she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lift her head.â&#x20AC;? The other teen, Julia Lefever, said she had never seen her friend so intoxicated. She said she and the alleged victim were drinking a blue slush ice drink they laced with vodka they brought to the party and her friend later drank a beer. Jacob Howarth, 19, a former Steubenville high school student, testified about the alleged victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demeanor at a small gathering at his house that night. Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Walter Madison, pushed Howarth in a graphic line of questioning to confirm that when the girl vomited in his bathroom, she was able to use the toilet and not leave a mess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being drunk doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, right?â&#x20AC;? Madison said. On cross-examination, prosecutor Brian Deckert got Howarth to agree that the girl was â&#x20AC;&#x153;stumbling, with a blank expression, and swaying back and forth.â&#x20AC;?

Under questioning from defense attorneys, witnesses also gave examples of the alleged victim turning down friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offers of help and agreeing to go with the defendants. Pat Pizzoferrato, 17, a Steubenville high school student, testified that he was shown a picture of the victim on her knees with her pants off with the defendants nearby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I though they just had sex with her,â&#x20AC;? he said when asked by Hemmeter what he thought the picture showed. That picture was never found and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the evidence before Lipps. If convicted, Mays and Richmond could be held in a juvenile jail until they turn 21. The Associated Press normally does not identify minors charged in juvenile court, but Mays and Richmond have been widely identified in news coverage, and their names have been used in open court. They were charged 10 days after the party, after a flurry of social media postings about the alleged attack led the girl and her family to go to police. Steubenville officials have protested that outsiders have unfairly criticized police handling of the case and have given Steubenville a black eye. Officials created a website to counter misinformation about the case, disputing, for example, the allegation that the police department is full of ex-football players from the local powerhouse team, nicknamed Big Red. Hacker activists have publicized tweets and other social media postings made the night of the alleged rape, including a 12-minute video in which one student joked about it while others in the background chimed in.
