Hygienist takes a bite out of me Have you ever been in a relationship in which no matter what you did, it was never, ever good enough? No matter how hard you try and try and try, you just can't seem to please the person. You spent countless hours and hours, but all you seem to find is a never-ending cycle of exhausting and bitter disapproval? You spend time and money on all the tools you need and try so hard to make them happy, but all you get is a shake of the head and ordered to try again. Only this time, try harder.

Newton presents ‘serious 50-cent comedy’ tonight and Saturday meal Students returns to perform ‘Don’t Rush Me’
Annual Miami County Farm Bureau breakfast set for Saturday
BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com Newton High School’s play “Don’t Rush Me” — performed tonight and Saturday — addresses the profound effect the desire for money can have on relationships, reputations and families. Show times are 7 p.m. tonight and Saturday, with Saturday featuring the option of a dinner served at 6:15 p.m. The play’s PLEASANT director, HILL English teacher Lori Sexton, said she read many scripts before selecting “Don’t Rush Me.” “I knew we didn’t want a murder-mystery twist, because we did that last year,” Sexton said. “This had a deeper theme than those we’ve done in the past.” Set in small town USA during an oil boom, the comedy traces Art Johnson — played by Cody Ross — in the establishment of the Falltown Oil Company. Eventually the family’s financial future is on the The Newton High School line, and tumultuous production of “Don’t Rush events ensue.

Edison President Cristobal Home Delivery: Valdez said he recognizes that com335-5634 munity college enrollment is down throughout the state of Ohio, but Classified Advertising: reinforced how committed Edison is (877) 844-8385 toward balancing the budget without cuts to people, services and programs. “We are pleased that through dili6 74825 22406 6 gent staff work, thoughtful planning
PIQUA and strong fiscal stewardship we were able to balance our budget without harm to people, positions or programs and maintain the longterm viability of the college,” Valdez said. “We are committed to ensuring the citizens in the tri-county area access to higher education.” Valdez also noted that while Edison “has experienced lower than expected enrollments” over the last few semesters, he said community colleges throughout the region are experiencing similar declines, too. Despite this, Scott Burnam, dean of enrollment services and registrar at the college, said Edison remains in the top one-third of community
colleges in Ohio in terms of budget performance. Burnam said college officials realized in the fall that an approximate shortfall of $480,000 was anticipated since enrollment numbers that the school’s budget is “built on” began to decline. “We saw it coming and we did everything we could to mitigate that,” Burnam said, who gave several examples, from pushing spring enrollment to making necessary adjustments that did not impact personnel and services. Enrollment during last year’s fall semester was down 9 percent, and presently that figure has increased to 12 percent for the spring semester.
In a day and age in which 50 cents can’t even buy a pack of gum, Miami County Farm Bureau invites the community to have breakfast Saturday morning on the farmer’s share of a deluxe breakfast — two quarters. “It’s really turned out to be a time of fun and fellowship,” said Mandy Havenar, communications coordinator for the Miami County Farm Bureau. “The 50-cent breakfast is to show the portion the farmer who raised the food that’s on the table receives for producing the whole meal. The majority of the dollar goes to trucking, manufacturing and distribution of the food before it gets to the plate.” The fifth-annual Farmers Share Breakfast will be held from 7:3010:30 a.m. Saturday at the Duke Lundgard Building at the Miami County Fairgrounds. The 50-cent breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, eggs, milk, juice and coffee. “We are preparing for 1,200 this year,” Havenar said. “We started this with 120 people the first year and it has just grown and it’s a fun thing for families to do and learn a little bit about what the Farm Bureau does at the same time.” The event also is a time to stock the local food pantries in the area. Anyone who donates three non-perishable food items at the Farmers Share Breakfast will receive a reusable grocery bag as long as supplies last. “Last year we had five tables full with cans stacked three high,” Havenar said. “It feels good to help out local food pantries at the same time.” Havenar said the Farmers’ Share Breakfast is a great way to end National Agriculture week. According to a press release, “it’s at this time, the community celebrates what local farmers and ranchers provide us with — the most abundant and safe food supply in the world.”

for Troy and is hiring machinists. Integral to the city, Beamish said, are partnerships with the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, Troy Main Street, the Troy Development Council and the Dayton Development Coalition. Connections with the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Greater Dayton Mayors and Managers Association are also highly important, as is the Sister City relationship with Takahashi City. Beamish also looked to the future, especially the summer, which is teeming with events. “This summer will be simply amazing,” he said. “It gives the four-letter word ‘busy’ a whole new meaning.” Festivities include the Gentlemen of the Road Tour with headliner Mumford and Sons, the Strawberry Festival, Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, Sculptures on the Square, Theatre on Ice, the Weekly Concert Series, Cincinnati Symphony, the Festival of Nations, the Mayor’s Concert with the Dayton Philharmonic Band and the Air Force Band of Flight. Other events include the farmers’ market, annual holiday celebrations and the renewal of the Treasure Island Adventure Series. “I have often said we are a small Midwestern city with big-town taste,” Beamish stated, adding. “I can’t begin to name all the clubs, organizations and foundations that give back to our community. It simply takes many individuals willing to give of their time, talent and treasure to make this a great city. It is truly a team approach.”

miums or copays on wealthier seniors. Some also have said they could accept higher revenues as part of tax reform that stimulates economic growth. Neither approach is likely to guarantee enough revenue to satisfy Obama or congressional Democrats. The president said as much later in the day. According to one lawmaker, he told House Democrats in a separate meeting they need not worry about slowing the rise in cost of living benefits because Republicans so far show no willingness to raise revenues. If nothing else, the reviews of Obama’s meeting with Senate Republicans were uniformly positive. “We’ll see where we go from here, but it was a great meeting,” said GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who normally is one of the president’s sharpest critics in Congress. Senators emerging from meetings with Obama said the discussions had ranged over the fate of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, regulatory concerns, fracking, deficit reduction and more.

Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming later told reporters, summarizing comments he and others had made. “The president needs to be here working side by side with Congress.” Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said the message to Obama had been: “Step one is to work with us, not just heckle and taunt us on the campaign trail, and step two is to lead.” The Tennessee lawmaker said Obama must also “go against the grain in his own party,” much as Lyndon Johnson did in winning civil rights legislation from Congress in the 1960s or Richard Nixon did in forging an opening with China in the 1970s. Obama has repeatedly told Republicans in recent days he supports curtailing the growth of costof-living benefits for Social Security and other benefit programs as part of a compromise, as well as raising costs for wealthier Medicare beneficiaries. He has also told them they must agree to raise revenue although not tax rates as part of any deal. So far, at least, Republicans have noted that proposals to overhaul Medicare include higher pre-

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 Houston Chronicle on restricting executive authority for drone strikes: There was a sense of a Senate returning to form as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., munched on a Kit Kat bar in the middle of his 13-hour filibuster — a break from his reading articles about military drones. This grandstanding didn’t stop the confirmation of John Brennan as CIA director, unlike the silent holds that have blocked qualified candidates from filling the holes in our judiciary. Now it is time to turn that rhetorical passion into legislative action. If Paul and his acolytes are serious about restraining executive authority, then they should set their targets on the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists. Passed after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the AUMF granted the president authority to use all necessary force against those who planned, authorized committed or aided in the 9/11 attacks or those who harbored them. Since then, it has been used to justify military force not just in Afghanistan, but Pakistan and Yemen. And against U.S. citizens. Without any explicit restrictions, folks outside the White House are left wondering whether Congress authorized the president to use military force anywhere that could possibly house alQaida sympathizers. Legislative history implies that Congress specifically did not include authority within our national borders, but we shouldn’t have to guess at whether the president can kill citizens on domestic soil. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has joined Paul in introducing a bill to prohibit drone killings of citizens on U.S. soil if they don’t represent an imminent threat. But why not look at the AUMF itself? When contemplating presidential authority, we hope that Democrats always imagine a President Dick Cheney. And for Republicans, well, President Barack Obama seems to foster enough healthy skepticism. But for too long both parties have cared more about partisan politics than the ramifications of unchecked presidential power. We hope Paul’s filibuster will help bring an end to that era. The Republican American, Waterbury, Conn., on home mortgages: Six years after the collapse of the housing bubble inflated by the political treachery of then-Sen. Chris Dodd and others, 27.5 percent of U.S. home mortgages still remain under water. That’s almost 14 million homeowners with more mortgage debt than equity, according to the Zillow Negative Equity Report. Where they got in trouble was believing prices would rise forever, freeing them to cash out their equity periodically to buy expensive consumer goods, pay for lavish vacations, finance grand home improvements or simply afford lifestyles their incomes couldn’t support. During the housing boom, Americans cashed out more than $1 trillion in equity by refinancing or through second mortgages or lines of credit, all with variable interest rates below those of traditional fixed-rate instruments. But when the bubble burst, they were submerged by rapidly falling prices and rising interest rates. And the rest, including trillions in lost household wealth and 5 millionplus foreclosures, is Chris Dodd’s legacy. Did Americans learn anything about reckless borrowing? CNBC reports a $7.2 billion (19 percent) surge in new equity lines of credit in the last year. That’s a far cry from the $28 billion likewise financed in 2006, and industry observers say, based on anecdotes, this new equity borrowing is funding home improvements, college tuition and other worthwhile expenses. Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean the new loans are risk-free to borrowers or taxpayers. It’s not as if the mortgage and housing crises have passed. Notwithstanding the copious grandstanding by politicians and government bureaucrats, nothing fundamental has changed since the bubble burst. And almost every new mortgage continues to come with the implied backing of taxpayers because the Obama administration actually has expanded the role of Fannie and Freddie in housing finance, even as they are stuck with more than $5 trillion in essentially worthless mortgage-backed securities. So almost every new dollar borrowed presents a new risk for taxpayers.

DOONESBURY
Hygienist takes a bite out of me on trip to dentist Have you ever been in a relationship in which no matter what you did, it was never, ever good enough? No matter how hard you try and try and try, you just can't seem to please the person. You spent countless hours and hours, but all you seem to find is a never ending cycle of exhausting and bitter disapproval? You spend time and money on all the tools you need and try so hard to make them happy, but all you get is a shake of the head and ordered to try again. Only this time, try harder. And you want to give up so badly! But you can't. You have to set a good example. If you give up, only more hurt and pain lie ahead in the future. Can you tell I went to the dentist this week? Earlier this week, I finally made the pilgrimage to a new dental office. To be completely honest, it was long overdue. Like millions of Americans, I had set my dental health aside due to finances and, well, fear. I guess when I hear the word “dentist,” I think of three things: pain, expensive and lectures.
Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist I never minded going to the dentist before. I even slightly enjoyed it because I love the feeling of having clean teeth. But those dental hygienists are never happy, no matter how much you floss or brush. And they are always gorgeous with exotic names just to pour salt on your wounds (or salt rinses for the bleeding, tender gums they just got done power washing). I want to meet that one lucky person who manages to get a 100 percent on his or her dental hygienist exam. I’m pretty sure I want you to pick out my Powerball numbers for me this week. I really liked my one dentist who would hum along and even sing to the country music radio while she cleaned and repaired my teeth.
— Karen Brackman Dollars for Scholars Chairman
I think of her and the zzzzzzzzippppp sounds of the drill whenever I hear The Judds sing “Mama, He’s Crazy.” Strange, I know. I always envied dentists’ children’s smiles. I mean, I guess it would be hard growing up with so much attention on your teeth. That whole, doctor’s wife is always ill and the cobbler’s kids are always barefoot type of deal, I suppose. Growing up, I was one of the few lucky ones that didn’t have to have braces. The metal and rubber bands would have driven me insane. But I also kind of envied them too, since kids were always getting out of school to go to the orthodontist. My teeth were always perfect. Last week I was asked how long I had had my own dental accessories — the veneers on my front teeth. “Um, I think it’s been since my high school junior prom?” Wow, that’s been a long time. I remember wanting to get the work done to close the gap in my front teeth just for prom pictures. Looking back, I realized how vain I was about something so trivial. I remember my mother making a phone call to my dad to pay for
it. The things we will do for our kids’ happiness, right? And I remember it cost more than going to prom, but I still have those suckers to this day! I also didn’t tell anybody that I had had the gap in my teeth closed because I didn’t think anybody would notice. I had made it to the end of the day undetected until I went to study hall to play cards ... I mean, study, for a test, when my friend Brock noticed my teeth. “Wait a second. Smile. What did you do that for? I liked that gap,” he told me. Of course someone would say that after the gap, I mean, fact. So in one day, a few hundred dollars pretty much went out the door because of my vanity. I think of it every time I smile. Overall, I got a decent bill of dental health and gentle scolding, I mean, reminder, to floss better and brush in circles. And I’m sure no matter how hard I try, it still won’t be good enough and my attempt will be made in vain. “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. Look ma, no cavities!

In this Nov. 14, 1996 file photo, Cambodia then First Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh, left, chats with dissident Khmer Rouge leader Ieng Sary, right, upon his arrival at Malai, Cambodia.
Khmer Rouge’s Ieng Sary dies amid genocide trial PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Ieng Sary, who co-founded the communist Khmer Rouge regime responsible for the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians in the 1970s, and who decades later became one of its few leaders to be put on trial, died Thursday before his case could be finished. He was 87. Ieng Sary was the brother-in-law of late Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot. His death dashed hopes that he would be punished for his alleged crimes against humanity during the darkest chapter in his country’s history. Chea Leang, a co-prosecutor at the Cambodian-international tribunal that had been trying Ieng Sary, said he died of cardiac failure. The trial began in late 2011 with four defendants and now has only two. Ieng Sary had suffered from high blood pressure and heart problems and had been admitted to a Phnom Penh hospital on March 4 with weakness and severe fatigue. His body was being taken Thursday from the hospital to Malai in western Cambodia, a former Khmer Rouge stronghold where his family lives, for his funeral. There are fears that the two remaining former Khmer Rouge leaders still on trial, both in their 80s, could also die before justice is served. Ieng Sary’s wife, former Social Affairs Minister Ieng Thirith, also was charged but was ruled unfit to stand trial last year because she suffers from dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease. “We are disappointed that we could not complete the proceeding against Ieng Sary,” tribunal spokesman Lars Olsen said, adding that the case against chief Khmer Rouge ideologist Nuon Chea and former head of state Khieu Samphan would not be affected. Ieng Sary founded the Khmer Rouge with Pol Pot. The regime, which ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979, claimed it was building a pure socialist society by evicting people from cities to work in labor camps in the countryside. Its radical policies led to the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people from starvation, disease, overwork and execution. “He was a critical part of the senior leadership and his death undoubtedly will have an impact on the case,” said Elizabeth Becker, a former New York Times journalist and author of “When the War Was Over,” a history of modern Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge. “This trial was held 30 years too late.” Ieng Sary was foreign minister in the regime, and as its top diplomat became a much more recognizable figure internationally than his secretive colleagues. The Khmer Rouge came to power through a civil war that toppled a U.S.-
backed government. Ieng Sary then helped persuade hundreds of Cambodian intellectuals to return home from overseas to help the new regime. The returnees were arrested and put in “re-education camps,” and most were later executed, said Youk Chhang, director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia, an independent group gathering evidence of Khmer Rouge crimes for the tribunal. As a member of the Khmer Rouge’s central and standing committee, Ieng Sary “repeatedly and publicly encouraged, and also facilitated, arrests and executions within his Foreign Ministry and throughout Cambodia,” Steve Heder said in his co-authored book “Seven Candidates for Prosecution: Accountability for the Crimes of the Khmer Rouge.” Heder is a Cambodia scholar who later worked with the U.N.backed tribunal. Known by his revolutionary alias, “Comrade Van,” Ieng Sary was a recipient of many internal Khmer Rouge documents detailing torture and mass execution of suspected internal enemies, according to the Documentation Center of Cambodia. “We are continuing to wipe out remaining (internal enemies) gradually, no matter if they are opposed to our revolution overtly or covertly,” read a cable sent to Ieng Sary in 1978. It was reprinted in an issue of the center’s magazine in 2000, apparently proving he had full knowledge of bloody purges. In 1996, years after the overthrown Khmer Rouge retreated to the jungle, Ieng Sary became the first member of its inner circle to surrender, bringing thousands of foot soldiers with him and hastening the movement’s final disintegration. “He liked good food, power, money, nice living, and the idea mistaken that communism was the wave of the future,” said David Chandler, a Cambodia expert at Australia’s Monash University. “He was a wily and able foreign minister. He quit when the quitting was good.” Ieng Sary’s surrender secured him a limited amnesty, temporary credibility as a peacemaker and years of comfortable living in Cambodia, but that vanished as the U.N.-backed tribunal built its case against him. Ieng Sary was arrested in 2007, and the trial against him started in late 2011. He faced charges that included crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide. He has denied any hand in the atrocities. At a news conference following his surrender, he said Pol Pot “was the sole and supreme architect of the party’s line, strategy and tactics.”
High school coaching great Jack Curran dies at age 82 “He was one of the true saints in scholastic sports,” said Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnesecca, whom Curran succeeded at Molloy. “I can’t think of anyone with a better record for two sports than Jack. His records will always stand and be tough to break. However, it’s what he did for kids that was more important and not necessarily just athletes from Molloy but from the New York area.” Curran’s teams won five city championships in basketball and 17 in baseball. No other New York City coach has ever won a title in both sports in the same year. Curran did it four times 1969, 1973, 1974 and 1987.
His record was 972-437 in basketball and 1,708-523 in baseball. “Those marks will never be broken,” Molloy President Richard Karsten said. “He had the respect of so many young players and the older players would come back to see him.”
TIPP CITY — Bruce “Gordon” Hay, 55, of Tipp City, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly Friday, March 8, 2013. He was born in Bangor, Maine. He is survived by his beloved son, Logan; a devoted life partner, Colby Cook; his mother, Marjorie of John’s Island, S.C.; two brothers, Jeff and wife Laura of Charlotte, N.C., and Peter and wife Pam of Cottageville, S.C.; and numerous nieces and nephews and dear friends.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jack Curran spent more than a half century compiling records in high school basketball and baseball that likely won’t be toppled anytime soon. Perhaps never. The 82-year-old coaching great from Archbishop Molloy High School died Thursday, the school said. He had been weakened by lung and kidney problems, undergoing dialysis three days a week the past few years. Still, he rarely missed a day at school, let alone a game or practice. When former players, opponents, friends and colleagues spoke of him, the wins and titles were secondary to the character of the man.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS • “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” — The only incredible thing here is the way this comedy makes Steve Carell so thoroughly and irreparably unlikable. In a film about magic tricks, this is the most difficult feat of all. Even when Carell is playing characters who are nerdy (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) or needy (“Crazy, Stupid, Love”) or clueless (TV’s “The Office”) or just plain odd (“Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy”), there’s usually an inherent decency that shines through and makes him seem relatable, vulnerable, human. None of those qualities exists within Burt Wonderstone, a selfish and flashy Las Vegas magician who once ruled the Strip alongside his longtime friend and partner, Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), but now finds his act has grown outdated and unpopular. Even within the confines of a comedy sketch, where he probably belongs, Burt would seem one-dimensional and underdeveloped with his hacky jokes and tacky clothes. Stretched out to feature length, the shtick becomes nearly unbearable until, of course, the movie doles out its obligatory comeuppance, followed by redemption, and goes all soft and nice. By then it’s too little, too late. Jim Carrey gives it his all, as always, as the up-and-coming gonzo street magician who threatens Burt’s career, but Olivia Wilde gets little more to do than serve as the supportive “girl” as Burt’s assistant. PG-13 for sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language. 101 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. • “Spring Breakers” — Harmony Korine seems to want it both ways, all day, in this superstylized descent into a sunbaked hell where bikini-clad, gun-toting college babes serve as our guides. As writer and director, Korine wants us to be appalled and aroused, hypnotized and titillated. He wants to satirize the debauchery of girls gone wild while simultaneously reveling in it. And damned if he doesn’t pull it off. This is the rare movie that I actually found myself liking the more time I spent away from it. In the moment, I found it numbingly repetitive, even boring at times: an obvious juxtaposition of sex and violence, of dreamlike aesthetics within a nightmare scenario. And it is all those things. But it stuck with me, and it made me realize the genius of his approach. There is a great deal of genuine artistry in this film, which is the most polished and mainstream to date from the maker of indies like “Trash Humpers,” but “Spring Breakers” is also provocative in various ways, depending on the viewer. The corruption of formerly squeaky-clean Disney superstars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens may be Korine’s cleverest trick of all: They get to show some range, we get to gawk. But James Franco steals the whole movie away when he arrives about halfway through as a cornrowed, wanna-be gangster rapper named Alien. It’s a showy, wonderfully weird performance, but Franco also finds the vulnerability beneath the bravado. R for strong sexual content, language, nudity, drug use and violence throughout. 92 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. • "Oz the Great and Powerful" — This prequel aims for nostalgia in older viewers who grew up on "The Wizard of Oz" and still hold the classic dear while simultaneously enchanting a newer, younger audience. It never really accomplishes either successfully. An origin story to the groundbreaking 1939 picture, "Oz" can be very pretty but also overlong and repetitive, with a plot that's more plodding than dazzling. Director Sam Raimi also is trying to find his own balance here between creating a big-budget, 3-D blockbuster and placing his signature stamp of kitschy, darkly humorous horror. He's done the lavish CGI thing before, with diminishing results, in the "Spider-Man" trilogy, but here he has the daunting task of doing so while mining an even more treasured pop culture phenomenon. The results are understandably inconsistent. "Oz" features a couple of fun performances, a handful of witty lines, some clever details and spectacular costumes. And it's all punctuated by a Danny Elfman score that serves as a reminder of how similar this effectsladen extravaganza is to the latter-day (and mediocre) work of Elfman's frequent collaborator, Tim Burton — specifically, 2010's "Alice in Wonderland," also from Disney. At its center is a miscast James Franco, co-star of Raimi's "SpiderMan" movies, as the circus huckster who becomes the reluctant Wizard of Oz. Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams play the three witches he meets. PG for sequences of action and scary images, and brief mild language. 130 minutes. Two stars out of four.
County residents prepare for exhibit DAYTON — The lobby of Fifth Third Center in downtown Dayton will soon be adorned by the digital photography of Gina Duncan and the hand-crafted gourds of Judy Riesser. The Miami County residents will be the featured artists April 1-30 at The Gallery at Fifth Third Center, One South Main St., corner of Third and Main streets. Duncan and Riesser will host an opening reception from 4:30-7:30 p.m. April 5 in the first-floor lobby in conjunction with the Downtown Dayton First Friday art hop. Light hors d’oeuvres will be provided. Enter through the Third Street entrance or the Ludlow Street parking garage (parking will be validated.) In addition to the reception, the exhibit may be viewed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays in the lobby as well as the second floor gallery near the parking garage access. Duncan of Troy, and Riesser of Tipp City, have been friends for about 20 years and are both charter members of Tipp City Area Arts Council. “It was only natural to include Judy in this exciting venture,” Duncan said. Duncan received a call in 2012, from the Fifth Third property management firm regarding the display. “It was very rewarding that a member of their firm had seen my photography in another venue and recommended me for the 2D display,” Duncan said. Duncan had first seen Gourd Art by Judy at the Tipp City Farmers Market and knew the decorative pieces were the perfect 3D complement to exhibit in the gallery showcases. Duncan said she turned a 25year hobby into a web-based business in 2008, when she founded Believe Photography & Fine Art. In addition to Internet sales (www.BelieveFineArt.com), she also displays her matted and framed photographs, gallery-wrapped canvases, ArchiTEXTure Name Frames and more in a number of Miami County establishments, at regional art shows and competitions. She annually launches young shutterbugs into the world of digital photography during a summer student enrichment program sponsored by TCAAC. Duncan also produces photo note cards and gift sets. “I am on a mission to reestablish the handwritten letter,” Duncan said. “Compare grandma’s hatbox, brimming with personal letters, filled with family history and anecdotes to a disorderly pile of misspelled, grossly abbreviated email messages. Which would you rather discover in your attic one day?” Riesser, a former junior high art

She said she was inspired to broaden her skills to include gourd art five years ago upon observing a beautifully bejeweled gourd housed in a glass box at a festival in Sedona, Ariz. “The jewels were worth thousands of dollars,” Riesser said. Riesser said she thoroughly enjoys creating her own line of fine art gourds, but explains that her jewels come from Hobby Lobby craft store. According to Riesser, gourds have “become the canvas for creating new art pieces using leather dyes, inks, acrylics, oils, pencils, and pyrography, a form of wood burning.” Inlays, such as feathers, metals, weavings, clays and natural fibers also add to the enrichment of the gourds. Many
techniques typically used on canvas can also be used in gourd art. Gourds are carved, sanded, filed and sawed into beautiful and unusual shapes. Riesser said she orders gourds from, California, Arizona and Pennsylvania, as well as, New Baltimore, Ohio, where she has partnered with a grower whose sole objective is to harvest the seeds. Though many people think of birdhouses when they consider gourd art, Riesser describes her art as “birdhouses and beyond.” She said she has enriched her interest, her abilities and techniques by attending a number of workshops and festivals across the country and is a member of Ohio Gourd Society and National Gourd Society. Reisser said sales from the summer farmers market helped to fund her recent mission trip to Guatemala.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Contact PFLAG for some helpful suggestions Dear Annie: My family is very conservative, and they are rather religious Christians. For the past seven years, I have known that I am gay. I tried dating boys to please my parents, but it just didn't feel right. During my senior year of high school, I went out with a few girls, but I was still very much in the closet. Now that I'm in college, however, I'm out and proud. I have a girlfriend, and things are going well for us. We are talking about moving in together. I came out to my mother and sisters because I knew they would accept it eventually, although they were disappointed. But the rest of the family is a different story. I want to bring my girlfriend home to meet my folks. I want to be honest about our relationship, but I am crossing a generational, religious and moral line. My grandmother believes lesbians are going to hell. I don't intend to rub it in their faces. But it feels like a burden to lie about it. I know they love me and would continue to love me. I have not changed who I am. But I'm afraid they will treat me differently, and I'm worried about how they will treat my girlfriend. How do I come out to the rest of my family? — The L Word Dear L Word: You already know that your family will love you regardless, and that is the most important thing. They may treat you differently at the beginning, but that is not unusual, and over time, their behavior will normalize. (They may already suspect you are gay.) But we don't recommend you introduce a girlfriend on the same trip where you come out to the relatives. That may be more than any of you can handle, and it is unfair to your girlfriend to put her in the middle of the drama. We suggest you contact PFLAG (pflag.org) for suggestions on the best way to approach this. Dear Annie: Nearly 40 years ago, my daughter had an abortion. She was 17, and there was no possibility of carrying the baby to term and having it be adopted. My daughter and I never talk about this, but I have never forgotten it. This child would now be an adult, and I would have a grandchild. I will regret this experience until the day I die. I believe everyone should be able to do what they need to do, but be sure you can live with the consequences. — A Regretful Grandma Dear Regretful: No woman is eager to have an abortion. It is a difficult and wrenching decision, often the option of last resort. You never had the opportunity to properly grieve for this unborn child and the potential the child represented. Please take the time to do so now. You have held on to this pain for 40 years. A grief counselor can help you let go so you can forgive your daughter — and yourself. Dear Annie: "New Hampshire" said her brother-in-law, "Bob," came to their home for the holidays every year and never treated them to anything, including groceries, and somehow managed to forget his credit card when they went out for dinner. I had a similar experience with my sister, and like "New Hampshire," I was frustrated. I began limiting what we did together and opting for less expensive things, knowing I'd be stuck with the bill. Three years ago, my sister passed away from cancer at the age of 51. Since then, I have often thought how happy I would be to take her out to eat every week if only she were still here to go with me. It's only money. Please tell your readers to enjoy the time they have with loved ones. One day they may be in my shoes, wishing you could be together. — Miss My Sister in Kansas Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Here’s a key number when you’re on the road Dear Readers: I travel a lot across the country (Florida for two speeches, Los Angeles for a TV show and back to my home base in San Antonio for several speeches) for charities, groups and conventions. This January, I was in the Washington, D.C., area for a home-improvement show for several days. Luck was on my side, and a friend gave me an invitation, so I was able to attend the presidential inauguration! Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, for links to the hints I shared on several Washington, D.C., TV shows, plus a few photos. Here’s my travel hint that I found invaluable on this trip:
Hints from Heloise Columnist The phone number of the hotel was not printed on the key-card holder anywhere! Now, I write the phone number on the “envelope” or key-card holder. Many cards have just the hotel chain info on them, as do some of the notepads in the room, which are no help if you need to call the hotel directly. The key is always
with me, so if I need the number, I have it. — Heloise P.S.: My other travel hotel “key” hint? I drop the key in the holder and put it right on the floor by the door. I always know where it is! HAPPY HOUR Dear Heloise: How do you tip during happy hour? The food and drinks are at a discounted price, but my server did the same job. Do I tip at the discounted price or regular price? — Tom in Des Moines, Iowa Tom, this is a very good question. Tip at the regular price. The server is doing the same
job of bringing you food and drinks. If you think he or she did a good job, tipping is how to show appreciation. Trust me, servers do not get paid much per hour! Another important tip about tipping: I always tip more for breakfast. It’s usually the cheapest meal of the day, but the server is still doing the same amount of work, if not more! How many times do servers come back to refill coffee, and bring more butter or jam? The wear and tear on their feet probably is double or triple other meal times. Tip BIG for breakfast. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, March 16, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a better day for business and commerce, especially the morning and early in the afternoon. You might want to buy something for yourself and loved ones. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Moon is still in your sign today, which might make you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it also tends to bring you a bit of good luck. Yay! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep a low profile if you can today, because that’s how you will feel best. Being too much in the public eye can be tiring and even daunting. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Continue to schmooze with others because your interest in learning something different and exploring new territory is very strong now. Some of you might become romantically involved with someone from another culture. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You definitely can benefit from the wealth and resources of others now. Keep your pockets open, and be receptive to what others say. You deserve whatever comes your way. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Remember to get more sleep now, because so many planets are opposite your sign. This kind of energy is not supportive, instead it is combative. Ouch. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Work hard to get better organized because this will please you. More than any other sign, you are very affected by your immediate environment. Declutter! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is such a playful time for you. Enjoy your focus on partners and close friends, because the promise of new romance is in the air. (Would I kid you?) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Home-decorating projects intrigue you now. Continue with plans for renovations and improvements, but be patient with family members. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not the time to stay at home. Au contraire! You’re on the go, and your daily pace is accelerating. (Plus, you’re talking to everyone.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Focus on earnings, cash flow and major purchases now. Today you might rest at home and ponder how you want to better handle your money scene.

You will study or learn something valuable this year that will help you in your future.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, March 15, the 74th day of 2013. There are 291 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 15, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson met with about 100 reporters for the first formal presidential press conference. On this date: • In 44 B.C., Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of nobles that included Brutus and Cassius. • In 1493, Christopher Columbus returned to Spain, concluding his first voyage to the Western Hemisphere. • In 1944, during World War II,
Allied bombers again raided Germanheld Monte Cassino. • In 1956, the Lerner and Loewe musical play “My Fair Lady,” based on Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” opened on Broadway. • In 1962, a chartered Flying Tiger Line airplane carrying 107 people, most of them U.S. Army personnel, disappeared while en route from Guam to the Philippines. • In 1964, actress Elizabeth Taylor married actor Richard Burton in Montreal; it was her fifth marriage, his second. • In 1972, “The Godfather,” Francis Ford Coppola’s epic gangster
movie based on the Mario Puzo novel and starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, premiered in New York. • Today’s Birthdays: Former astronaut Alan L. Bean is 81. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 80. Actor Judd Hirsch is 78. Singer Mike Love (The Beach Boys) is 72. Rock singer-musician Sly Stone is 70. Rock singer Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) is 58.

Rapper-musician will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas) is 38.
Pope Francis offers new style of papacy VATICAN CITY (AP) — On his first day as shepherd of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, Pope Francis picked up his luggage at a Vatican hotel, personally thanked each member of the staff and even paid his own bill. Then, at his first Mass, he delivered a short, unscripted homily in Italian, not the Latin of his predecessor holding the cardinals who elected him responsible for keeping the church strong. Pope for barely 12 hours, Francis brushed off years of tradition and formality Thursday with a remarkable break in style that sent a clear message that his papacy is poised to reject many of the trappings enjoyed by now-retired Benedict XVI. That was hardly out of character for Francis. For years, as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the Argentine pastor took the bus to work, kissed the feet of AIDS patients and prayed with former prostitutes, eschewing the luxurious residence that would have been his due as archbishop of Buenos Aires. But now he is pope the first from the New World and the first Jesuit and his style both personal and liturgical is in a global spotlight. On his first day, he couldn’t have signaled a greater contrast to Benedict, the German academic who was meek and generous in person but formal and traditional in public. The differences played out Thursday in the Sistine Chapel as the 76-year-old
AP
In this photo provided by the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, Pope Francis celebrates his inaugural Mass with cardinals, inside the Sistine Chapel, at the Vatican, Thursday. Francis celebrated his first public Mass as pope. Whereas Benedict read a three-page discourse in Latin, Francis had a far simpler message. Speaking offthe-cuff for 10 minutes in easy Italian, he said all Catholics must “build” the church and “walk” with the faith. He urged priests to build their churches on solid foundations, warning: “What happens when children build sand castles on the beach? It all comes down.” “If we don’t proclaim Jesus, we become a pitiful NGO, not the bride of the Lord,” he said. “When we walk without the cross, and when we preach about Christ without the cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are mundane. We are bishops, priests, cardinals, popes, but we are not disciples of the Lord.” The new style was evident even in Francis’
wardrobe. Rather than wear the new golden pectoral cross he was offered after his election Wednesday, he kept the simple crucifix of his days as bishop. He also turned down the red velvet cape that Benedict wore when he was presented to the world for the first time in 2005, choosing the simple white cassock of the papacy instead. “It seems to me what is certain is it’s a great change of style, which for us isn’t a small thing,” Sergio Rubin, Francis’ authorized biographer, told The Associated Press. Rubin said the new pope “believes the church has to go into the streets” and be one with the people it serves and not impose its message on a society that often doesn’t want to hear it. For this reason, as Cardinal Bergoglio, “he built altars and tents in the squares of Buenos Aires, and held Masses with former
prostitutes and homeless people in the street,” Rubin said. “He did this to express the closeness of the church to those who are suffering.” Rubin said he expected to see more changes even substantive ones once Francis gets his footing. “I think the categories of progressive and conservative are insufficient,” Rubin said. “Pope Francis is someone with a great mental openness to enter into dialogue. He is very understanding of different situations. He doesn’t like to impose.” Francis began Thursday with an early morning trip in a simple Vatican car not the papal sedan to a Roman basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary, where he prayed before an icon of the Madonna. Like many Latin American Catholics, Francis has a particular devotion to the Virgin Mary, and his visit to the St. Mary Major basilica was a reflection of that. Laying flowers on the altar, he then prayed before a Byzantine icon of Mary and the infant Jesus. “He has a great devotion to this icon of Mary, and every time he comes from Argentina he visits this basilica,” said the Rev. Elio Montenero, who was present for the pope’s arrival. “We were surprised today because he did not announce his visit.” Francis himself had foreshadowed the visit, telling the 100,000 people packed into rain-soaked St. Peter’s Square after his election that he intended to pray to

the Madonna “that she may watch over all of Rome.” The new pope, known for his work with the poor in Buenos Aires’ slums, had charmed the crowd when he emerged on the loggia and greeted them with a simple and familiar: “Brothers and sisters, good evening.” On Thursday, members of his flock were charmed again when Francis stopped by the Vatican-owned residence where he stayed before the conclave to pick up his luggage. But that wasn’t the only reason he made the detour. “He wanted to thank the personnel, people who work in this house,” said the Rev. Pawel Rytel-Andrianek, a guest at the residence. “He greeted them one by one, no rush, the whole staff, one by one.” Francis then paid his bill “to set a good example,” Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said. “People say that he never in these 20 years asked for a (Vatican) car,” RytelAndrianek said. “Even when he went to the conclave with a priest from his diocese, he just walked out to the main road, picked up a taxi and went to the conclave. So very simple for a future pope.” Francis displayed that same sense of humility immediately after his election, spurning the throne on
an elevated platform that was brought out for him to receive the cardinals’ pledges of obedience, said Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. “He met with us on our own level,” Dolan said. Later, he traveled by bus back to the hotel along with the other cardinals, refusing the special sedan and security detail that he was offered. Francis, said U.S. Cardinal Donald Wuerl, has signaled his adherence to a “Gospel of simplicity.” “He is by all accounts a very gentle but firm, very loving but fearless, a very pastoral and caring person ideal for the challenges today,” Wuerl said.

UD falls to Butler Buckeyes to face Nebraska today
over Pittsburgh, in a marquee matchup of original Big East heavyweights. Georgetown swept its longtime rival in two games this season, including a 61-39 blowout last Saturday. Looking to land a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, the Hoyas squandered an early 16point cushion against Cincinnati and fell behind briefly in the second half before clamping down with their signature defense.
NEW YORK (AP) — Rotnei Clarke scored 21 points, and Butler advanced at the Atlantic 10 tournament with a 73-67 first-round victory over Dayton on Thursday. The fifth-seeded Bulldogs will need to win four games in four days if they want a conference tourney title in their first and perhaps last season in the A-10. Clarke shot 6 of 12 from behind the 3-point arc and added five assists. Fellow senior Andrew Smith had 18 points and six rebounds. Butler was 10 for 24 on 3point tries, while the Flyers attempted just four. Josh Benson had 18 points to lead 12th-seeeded Dayton (17-14, 7-9). The Bulldogs (25-7, 11-5) will face fourth-seeded La Salle in Friday’s quarterfinals. Butler, the national runnerup in 2010 and ‘11, could be headed along with Dayton to join the breakaway Big East basketball schools. St. Joseph’s 58, Xavier 57 NEW YORK — Langston Galloway hit two free throws with 1.4 seconds left to lead Saint Joseph’s past Xavier 58-57 on Thursday night in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament. The Musketeers had a great chance at the buzzer, when Justin Martin’s full-court pass ricocheted off the backboard and straight into the hands of Isaiah Philmore. But Philmore missed the easy layup, the ball bouncing off the rim as he fell to the court in dismay. Galloway finished with 14 points for the 10th-seeded Hawks (18-12, 8-8), who face second-seeded VCU in Friday’s quarterfinals at the Barclays Center. Charlotte 68, Richmond 63 NEW YORK — Pierria Henry felt as though he stood on the foul line for half an hour. Officially, under two seconds ticked off the game clock as the

More revealed in Steubenville case Prosecutors on Thursday introduced graphic text messages in the trial of two Ohio high school football players charged with raping a 16-year-old girl. The texts include messages from the alleged victim in which she says she doesn’t remember the night of the attack and is trying to find out what happened. The girl also implies that she believes she was drugged that night. See Page 16.

third on a groundout. Aybar singled sharply and ran to first with his index finger raised as his teammates poured out of the dugout to greet Cruz crossing the plate. Until Aybar’s hit, the Dominicans were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. Aybar stole second and scored on a two-out single by Jose Reyes. Former Miami Marlin Hanley Ramirez silenced jeers from the crowd with a home run in the second inning for the other Dominican run.

Bearcats go down No. 5 Hoyas pull away for 62-43 win NEW YORK (AP) — After coughing up a big lead in the middle of the game, Otto Porter Jr. and his Georgetown teammates showed off all the attributes that make them a championship threat this March. Porter scored 18 points and the fifth-ranked Hoyas advanced to the Big East tournament semifinals by pulling away from Cincinnati for a 6243 victory Thursday. “I want to say the first three, four possessions of the second half, we looked extremely flat.
But then we turned it up at the defensive end. We started getting stops, which then helped our offense,” Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. “For the most part, this group doesn’t get rattled.” Markel Starks had 14 points and D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera added 13 off the bench, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer that sparked a game-turning run for the top-seeded Hoyas (25-5). They will play Friday night against 19th-ranked and fifthseeded Syracuse, a 62-59 winner

Anna win over Orrville sets up title rematch COLUMBUS (AP) — Natalie Billing had 29 points and 10 rebounds and Cayla Bensman added 26 points as Anna had little trouble breaking the Orrville press for an 80-59 victory in a girls Division III semifinal on Thursday to set up a rematch of last year’s final. The Rockets (25-4) will play Columbus Africentric Early College on Saturday at 10:45 a.m. The Nubians in 2012 snapped Anna’s 50-game winning streak with a 70-66 overtime victory. Anna took a 49-33 halftime lead by hitting 19 of 32 shots (59.4 percent) with the aid of 12 layups. The Rockets finished 33 for 51 (64.7 percent)from the floor without attempting a three-
pointer. Hanna Plybon, the Associated Press co-player of the year in Division III, had 28 points for Orrville (26-3) in its first semifinal since 1993. Columbus Africentric 43, Fort Frye 40 COLUMBUS — Marley Hill controlled both ends of the court down the stretch to lead defending Division III champion Columbus Africentric Early College to a 43-40 win against Beverly Fort Frye in a girls’ state semifinal on Thursday. The Nubians (22-5) play for their fourth title Saturday at 10:45 a.m. against Anna. Fort Frye’s Shawntell Parsons missed a three-pointer from the
right corner with two seconds left that would have tied the game after the Cadets (25-4) squandered a three-point lead through three periods. • Division II Shaker Heights 57, Clyde 38 COLUMBUS — Nia Marshall had 14 points to lead a balanced Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown and the Blazers will go for their fifth straight state title after beating undefeated Clyde 57-38 in a girls Division II semifinal on Thursday. No school has won more than four consecutive basketball championships but the Blazers (22-6) will try Saturday at 2 p.m. against West Holmes.
Clyde (27-1) trailed 41-23 but went on an 8-0 run to end the third quarter before the Blazers responded with 12 of the next 14 points. Stephanie Solano had 11 points and Vanessa Smith and Beth Brzozowski added 10 for Hathaway Brown, winners of 35 straight tourney games. West Holmes 69, Chaminade Julienne 44 COLUMBUS — West Holmes simply overpowered Chaminade Julienne in the Division II semifinal Thursday, winning by a score of 69-44 at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. West Holmes moves on to face Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown on Saturday at 2 p.m.

■ CONTINUED FROM 14 “They have very, very good players, and the first half we were letting them get open shots,” Thompson said. “In the second half, I think we were much more attentive.” Georgetown, looking for its first title since 2007, improved to 15-1 as the top seed in the Big East tournament. The only loss came against West Virginia in the 2010 championship game. Louisville 74, Villanova 55 NEW YORK — Russ Smith scored 28 points in
a bittersweet homecoming, leading No. 4 Louisville into the Big East tournament semifinals with a 74-55 victory over Villanova on Thursday night only hours after the death of his esteemed high school coach. Smith and the defending champion Cardinals (27-5) harassed Villanova into 25 turnovers and advanced to play Notre Dame or Marquette in the late game Friday night at Madison Square Garden. Luke Hancock added 12 points off the bench for second-seeded Louisville,
which has won eight straight seven by at least 14 points. Peyton Siva, the tournament MVP last year, scored 10. JayVaughn Pinkston had 21 points for the seventh-seeded Wildcats (2013), confident they’ll receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament Sunday thanks to a string of high-profile wins against top-notch opponents this season. Mouphtaou Yarou added 13 points and 11 rebounds. Syracuse 62, Pittsburgh 59 NEW YORK — James
Southerland had a second straight great effort from 3-point range and Michael Carter-Williams scored Syracuse’s last seven points as the 19thranked Orange held off No. 17 Pittsburgh 62-59 on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament. It was the last meeting between the schools under the Big East banner as they are both leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. The final 1:15 was a great way for the programs to play one last time in the Big East.

Steubenville Day 2 In text, girl said boys took advantage of her STEUBENVILLE (AP) Prosecutors on — Thursday introduced graphic text messages in the trial of two Ohio high school football players charged with raping a 16year-old girl. The texts include messages from the alleged victim in which she says she doesn’t remember the night of the attack and is trying to find out what happened. The girl also implies that she believes she was drugged that night. “Swear to God I don’t remember doing anything with them,” the girl wrote to a friend who authorities say saw the assaults. “I wasn’t being a slut. They were taking advantage of me,” she also wrote to the same boy. Ma’Lik Richmond, 16, and Trent Mays, 17, are charged with digitally penetrating the West Virginia girl, first in the back seat of a moving car after a party Aug. 11 and then in the basement of a house. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. The two maintain their innocence. Prosecutors insist she was too drunk to consent to sex, while defense attorneys have portrayed her as someone who was intoxicated but still in control of her actions. Witnesses have said the girl was so drunk she threw up and had trouble walking and speaking. Special Judge Thomas Lipps is hearing the case without a jury. He told

Mays and Richmond are accused of raping a 16-year-old West Virginia girl in August of 2012. participants Thursday he would keep the trial in session well into the evening and through the weekend. The case has riveted the small city of Steubenville 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. The texts introduced Thursday in juvenile court also included ones in which Mays admitted that
he digitally penetrated the girl. He also sent messages to his friends to try to get them to gloss over what happened that night. In a text to a boy who lives in the house where the second attack is said to have happened, Mays wrote, “Just say she came to your house and passed out.” Authorities said they collected 17 cellphones in their investigation. The evidence they yielded is considered crucial to prosecutors’ case against the boys because of photos taken that evening. Three teenage boys
who are key to the prosecution’s case are still to take the stand this week. Defense attorneys could call the girl to testify since a West Virginia judge ruled Tuesday night that she and two of her friends could be subpoenaed. 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.

Corbett seeks dismissal of PSU suit HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett asked a federal court on Thursday to dismiss an NCAA lawsuit aimed at overturning a Pennsylvania law that calls for keeping $60 million in Penn State fine money for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal in the state. State treasurer Rob McCord, who is listed as a defendant in the lawsuit along with Corbett, also filed a similar motion. Both asked the federal court to refrain from considering the NCAA’s challenge because of two related pending lawsuits the latest chapters in the ongoing
legal wrangling over the penalties against the university for its handling of sexual abuse complaints involving the former assistant football coach. Corbett has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA to get the sanctions including the $60 million fine overturned. Pennsylvania state Sen. Jake Corman has also sued the NCAA over its use of the fine. Last week, the NCAA asked a state court to delay ruling on Corman’s separate lawsuit, citing in part that questions remained over whether Corman had a right to sue. The court has
asked Corman to respond by Monday. The NCAA, a governing body of college sports, levied the landmark sanctions last summer. Besides the fine, Penn State was also docked football scholarships and banned from postseason play for four seasons. Last month, Corbett signed into law a bill supported by Corman and passed by the state Legislature that kept the fine money in state. The NCAA filed its legal challenge to the law just hours later. State and congressional lawmakers have objected to
use of the NCAA fine to finance child abuse prevention efforts in other states. The NCAA complaint asked a federal judge to throw out the Pennsylvania Institution of Higher Education Monetary Penalty Endowment Act, because it violated provisions of the U.S. Constitution. It also requested an injunction to prevent the law from being enforced. The university met an NCAA deadline in December by placing the first of five annual installments of $12 million into a money market account set up for the fine money.

Falcons land RB Steven Jackson By the Associated Press The Atlanta Falcons replaced Michael Turner with another proven, productive running back. Steven Jackson, the top running back in free agency, agreed to a three-year, $12 million deal with the Falcons on Thursday. Also getting new deals were backup quarterback Matt Cassel in Minnesota, pass rusher Cliff Avril in Seattle and cornerback Keenan Lewis in New Orleans. The New York Giants signed defensive backs Ryan Mundy and Aaron Ross. And the Houston Texans were rolling out the red carpet to make their pitch to safety Ed Reed.
Day 3 of the NFL’s free agency frenzy was highlighted by the 30-year-old Jackson moving on from St. Louis after his eighth straight 1,000-yard season. “I think this is a very big signing for us,” Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. “It continues to bolster our offensive firepower. It gives us not only strength, power in running ability but also the versatility to catch out of the backfield, which is a very important part of this offense.” Jackson would have earned $7 million with the Rams in 2013 before he opted out of his contract to become a free agent. His 10,135 yards rushing for his career are the most of any active player.

Bryant getting treatment on sprained ankle By the Associated Press Kobe Bryant says Dahntay Jones’ dangerous defense left him with a sprained left ankle, and the NBA agreed. Now, the Los Angeles Lakers are hoping the injury doesn’t keep their star away from a playoff push for long. Bryant spent Thursday getting several hours of
treatment on what he called the worst sprained ankle of his 17 NBA seasons, hoping to be healthy for Friday’s game at Indiana. Although the Lakers offered no update on his condition after saying Bryant was out “indefinitely,” the NBA acknowledged Jones should have been called for a foul on the play that left Bryant crumpled on the court in Atlanta.
The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history was hurt when he landed on Jones’ foot with 4 seconds left after attempting a potential tying jumper in the Lakers’ 96-92 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night. Bryant rolled on the ground and eventually left the court in anger and pain, furious about Jones’ questionable tactics in sliding underneath him while
Bryant hung in the air. Bryant tweeted about it Thursday, including a hashtag: “cleanupthegame.” The NBA later said video replay confirmed Bryant was fouled. “After review at the league office, video replay confirmed that referees missed a foul call on Jones as he challenged Bryant’s shot and did not give him the opportunity to land
cleanly back on the floor,” said the statement on the NBA’s web site. “Bryant should have been granted two free throws.” Bryant tweeted that his ankle was “still very swollen. Treatment all day.” The Lakers had the day off Thursday in Indianapolis, the final stop on their threegame road trip. As some Lakers players meandered in and out of the team hotel,
Bryant was not seen. Bryant’s shot would have tied the game if he made it, which means the no-call played a role in costing the Lakers a valuable victory in their playoff push. With 17 wins in 23 games before their loss to Atlanta, the Lakers (34-32) are a half-game ahead of Utah (33-32) for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference.
