Commission backs demolition Council expected to make decision Monday on future of residential property on W. Water Street BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com
Amish Cook shares rhubarb pie recipe Rhubarb finds its way into so many baked goods. It just adds a nice, tart taste to everything. Mom baked with her homegrown rhubarb often, and she never had trouble growing rhubarb. If you want to start your own rhubarb patch, plant the rhubarb one year and then use it the second year. I have always done this and always had good luck. See Page 8.
Troy Planning Commission gave its approval on the demolition of a home and the rezoning of another property during Wednesday’s meeting.
TROY A third item regarding a rezoning application on Grant Street was tabled until the April 10 commission meeting. The property slated for demolition at 316-318 W. Water St., which
is owned by Bruce and Cherie Land and is not on the National Register, has received 16 property maintenance violation notices since 2009. Alan Kappers President abstained from voting on the matter, as he is the applicant for the demolition and prospective owner

Dynamite discovered in Piqua residence Explosive safely detonated by Dayton Bomb Squad
From a religious standpoint, there is no more joyous or important a celebration than that of Easter. From a secular standpoint, however, Easter is the kidney stone of holidays.

Authorities in Piqua evacuated residences and businesses within a 300-feet radius of a home located at 507 South Street after a man cleaning his father’s home discovered what appeared to be a stick of dynamite. The man was cleaning and sorting items at the residence of his recently deceased father when he made the discovery and immediately called the Piqua Fire Department, city officials said. Police and fire personnel arrived on scene and began conducting door-to-door voluntary evacuation notices at each home or business located within the radius of the residence where the explosive material was found. In addition, nearby streets in the evacuation zone were closed down to vehicle and foot traffic with barricades as a member of the Dayton bomb squad responded to the scene. A bomb squad member later entered the home, located the explosive material, placed it in a containment vessel and proceeded to the city’s landfill where the

The planning commission also agreed to host a public hearing for the rezoning of 1509 W.

From left, Olivia Russell explains her field experience at a local veterinarian’s office to her fellow classmates Brittney Koble and Kaylee Kesler on Tuesday. Jacy Stewart, far right, writes down notes about their experiences as part of her job shadow experience with Troy Daily News. All Newton Junior High School eighth grade students must participate in a job shadowing experience as part of the Kirk Kadel’s “Exploring Careers” class. Russell said. Russell said she was able to help assist in routine procedures and learn proper sanitation. Russell said she learned a lot about routine procedures, animal ailments and wore protective gloves and gog-
gles in the operating rooms. “I actually got to touch the guts and put them back in after the surgery was done — that was cool,” she said. Kesler said her experience at a local veterinari-
an’s office confirmed that the field of animal science, including euthanasia, might not be the right fit for her. “I liked listening to the doctor and the vet

Francis embodies new idea of pope VATICAN CITY (AP) — He still goes by “Bergoglio” when speaking to friends, seems reluctant to call himself pope and has decided to live in the Vatican hotel rather than the grand papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. It might seem as if Pope Francis is in a bit of denial over his new job as leader of the world’s 1.2-billion Catholics. Or perhaps he’s simply changing the popular idea of what it means to be pope, keeping the nofrills style he cultivated as archbishop of Buenos Aires in ways that may have broad implications for the church. The world has already seen how Francis has cast aside many trappings of the papacy, refusing to don the red velvet cape Benedict XVI wore for official occasions and keeping the simple, pectoral cross he used as bishop and archbishop. Today, his belief that a pope’s job is to serve the world’s lowliest will be on display when he washes the feet of a dozen young inmates at a juvenile detention center in Rome. Previous popes have celebrated the Holy

Pope Francis kisses a baby handed to him as he is driven through the crowd during his general audience, in St. Peter’s Square, at the Vatican, Wednesday. Thursday ritual, which re-enacts Christ’s washing of his disciples’ feet before his crucifixion, by washing the feet of priests in one of Rome’s most ornate basilicas. Such moves hint, even at this early stage, only two weeks into his papacy, at an apparent effort by Francis to demystify the office of pope. Unlike his predecessors, he doesn’t sign his name “Pope Francis,” ending his official correspondence simply “Francis.”

dynamite was detonated safely. The dynamite found inside the home was “significantly older,” but the man cleaning the home did not know how long it was inside the residence, said Stacy Wall, city prosecutor and public information officer. Wall said the explosive was listed as
“energetic material.” “The owner of the house is deceased and the son was at the residence,” Wall said. “He was sorting through his father’s belongings and that’s how he found it.” Just before 1 p.m. the Piqua Police Department lifted the evacuation order and opened affected streets to travel. There were no injuries reported as a result of the incident.

At the conclusion of the meeting, City Planner Aloka Roy was recognized for her time with the city of Troy, as Wednesday marked her last planning commission meeting. She has accepted a city job in Lima, Ohio.
Gee seeks in-state tuition freeze COLUMBUS (AP) — Instate students are Ohio State University’s first priority as a publicly funded school, university president Gordon Gee said Wednesday in explaining why he isn’t also proposing a tuition freeze for out-ofstate students. Gee plans to formally propose the in-state tuition freeze to Ohio State trustees next week. Annual in-state tuition and fees at Ohio State’s flagship campus in Columbus is $10,037, compared to $25,445 for out-of-state students. Gee said the university will do all it can to help out-of-state students through scholarships, and wants the university to be competitively priced for all students. “We’re looking very
clearly to remain competitive at the out-of-state level,” he said. “The differential obviously always is that we belong to the people of the state so they’re our first priority.” Gee has said Ohio State is able to freeze tuition at a time of diminished state funding and uncertain federal dollars because it has looked for other revenue. State projections indicate most of Ohio’s publicly funded higher education institutions will receive increases in the first year of Gov. John Kasich’s proposed $63.2 billion, twoyear budget, with 17 of the state’s 61 universities, branch campuses and community colleges expected to receive cuts. State higher education funding rises overall in the budget’s first year, about 2
percent to $1.78 billion. Ohio State is expected to receive a 3 percent increase under the plan, with three branch campuses experiencing cuts. Kent State and Cleveland State would see increases of more than 5 percent, Wright State of 3.5 percent and others smaller increases. Overall, funding for five universities, seven branch campuses and five community colleges is expected to be cut. The Ohio House is currently preparing its version of the budget, which must be finalized by the end of June.

planes and engineering. The student later pursued a career in aeronautical engineering and now has a career in the field at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. “Before that, he had no idea he could combine the two and yet, he found a way to put those two things together and he found that through this course,” Kadel said. “That’s kind of cool.” Eighth grader Brittney Koble said her field experience with a local physical therapist has reassured her that she’ll find herself with a career in the medical field. “I’m leaning toward the medical field because I want to help people in some way,” Koble said. During her field experience, Koble said she learned how a physical therapist helps rehabilitate patients who are recovering from surgery, accidents or other health incidents. “I observed people learning how to walk again and that was pretty neat,” Koble said. Koble said she knows what careers she does not want to pursue. “I definitely don’t want to do city work like sanitarian stuff or be a garbage truck person,” Koble said. “If I don’t do anything in the medical field, I could see myself being a teacher — maybe.” Kesler said she likes the class because it helped her to eliminate careers and think deeper about other potential ones. “You get to discover new things and know what you wouldn’t want to get stuck doing every day,” Kesler said. “I know I can’t look at the inside of a cat all day.” Newton Junior High School eighth grade student Jacy Stewart contributed to this article as part of her job-shadowing experience with Troy Daily News.

(technicians) talk about their jobs,” Kesler said. “They showed me what happens when they spay and neuter animals. They did a few of those procedures so I got to watch.” Kesler said witnessing the routine, but somewhat grotesque, procedure was a bit unsettling for her. “They did a few neutering of some dogs and then they all went to lunch like it was no big deal — I couldn’t even think of eating after watching all that — it was weird,” Kesler said. Kesler said although she loves animals, she probably will think about other careers to be of service to people or animals in some other fashion. “I want to help people, but I don’t think I could handle putting an animal down and having to tell that to an owner all the time — that’s just too sad for me,” Kesler said. “I still want to help people or help animals, but I’ll have to figure out how to do that in some other way.” It’s getting the students the opportunities to get more hands-on, physical experience that led Kadel to begin the “Exploring Careers Class” a few years ago. “I tell the kids that often it’s easier to know what you don’t want to do,” Kadel said. As a seasoned educator of 35 years, Kadel said he felt there was a need for the class to push students to really think about life after graduation and what classes were needed to pursue their dreams. “There were seniors in my other classes who had no idea of what they were going to do when they got out of school — no idea — and I’d say to them ‘You have to have some idea where you’re headed’ but they truly had no clue and that bothered me,” Kadel said. The class uses an online state curriculum and website to narrow down career choices and other experiences. Each Newton Junior High School eighth grade student takes the semester long “Exploring Careers Class.” It was a young student’s dream of being a veterinarian — like Kesler and Russell — that finally pushed Kadel to teach the career class. “There was a young lady in my class who said she wanted to be a veterinarian, but then she said ‘I hate science class’ — she had no idea that being a vet meant taking a whole lot of science classes,” Kadel said. Kadel said the student ended up pursuing a different career path around her love of animals. “She’s now a dog groomer,” he said. “She found another way to make a living around her love of animals and that’s the whole point of the class.” Another success story Kadel shared was of a former student who loved air-
Mario Bergoglio never lived in the ornate church mansion that Pope John Paul II stayed in when visiting, preferring simple rooms in a downtown building, warmed by a small stove on frigid weekends when the heat was turned off. He did his own cooking and rode the bus to get around town. In that same vein, Francis announced this week that he wasn’t moving into the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace and would stay instead in the Vatican’s Santa Marta residence, the antiseptically clean, institutional-style hotel where he and the 114 cardinals who elected him pope were sequestered during the conclave. Calling the hotel home, Francis indicated that he wants to live in a community with ordinary folk, not the gilded cage of the Apostolic Palace. He will eat in the common dining room as he has for the past two weeks, and celebrate 7 a.m. Mass in the hotel chapel as he has each day, inviting Vatican gardeners, street sweepers, hotel workers and newspaper staff to attend.

To those closest he is still Bergoglio, and this week, Italian state radio broadcast a voice mail he left wishing a friend Happy Birthday. “It’s Bergoglio,” the pope said, using the surname he was born with. Even on Day One, Francis didn’t acknowledge he was pope. Speaking on the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica after his election the night of March 13, Francis told the tens of thousands gathered there that the cardinals’ task during the conclave had been to “give Rome a bishop.” And bishop of Rome is the title he has emphasized repeatedly ever since not vicar of Christ, or any of his other official titles. “I do think there is something about trying to reduce the awesomeness, the grandeur and majesty of the papacy,” said John Allen Jr., Vatican columnist for the National Catholic Reporter. “Part of this is just his personality. He’s never liked pomp and circumstance.” Indeed. Even after he became Argentina’s top church official in 2001, the former Cardinal Jorge

Drug take-back event offered TROY — From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27, the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office is hosting a drop-off event where residents can bring medications for disposal to Miami County Sanitary Engineering, 2200 N. County Road, Troy. This drop-off gives the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and
anonymous, no questions asked. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and
friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards. For more information, contact the Miami County Sanitary Engineering Department at 440-3488 or the website at www.miamicountysed.com, or the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office at 440-6086.

At the very least, I hope Jerry gets to play the song as an opening act for Mumford & Sons. What a true Troy treasure!

AS I SEE IT
World’s population raging out of control BY KEARSTEN SMALL Edison Community College Student The population in the world is changing every second of the day. The amount of people in the world at this very second is 7,102,675,601. That’s a lot of people, but how much can our world handle? Our resources are starting to slowly vanish and within time there will be nothing left to feed every mouth or fuel every car. Nobody knows how we can solve this obvious problem. Scientists are working hard to figure out what to do. Other countries, such as China, have taken matters into their own hands by enforcing population control through their government.

Besides Asia, one of the most populated continents is Africa. It has a population of one billion people. It is estimated by 2025 that if the population keeps going the way it is, there will not be enough food to feed the country. Some people think this is for the better, that it will help sustain the population, but you can bet that America — along with other countries — will jump right on in to save all of them. Even though it could help sustain the world, I highly doubt that it will have a huge impact. Not only are our resources going away, but also the environment is suffering as well. In 2010, there was an oil spill in the Gulf Coast. This caused a major increase in the cost of gas and caused the surrounding water and land to be affected. There were 4,786 animals that died because of this — that could have been a lot of food for us. There’s also pollution such as the smoke going into the air and contaminating it. I’m not one you’ll see hugging a tree, but do I think we should be more aware of our green thumbs. If everybody watched how they were affecting the environment, we would most likely be able to withstand the large population.

DOONESBURY
Easter holiday usually leaves egg on my face From a religious standpoint, there is no more joyous or important a celebration than that of Easter. From a secular standpoint, however, Easter is the kidney stone of holidays. While I appreciate the religious significance of this Sunday and will be sitting in church in all my Easter finery (read: I may actually wash my jeans), I pretty much hate everything else about the day. More than anything else, I hate the weather. With every other holiday in the calendar, you pretty much know what you are going to get. Sure, Christmas falls in the middle of December when it’s usually cold and/or snowing, but at least you know to expect that in advance. And it’s probably going to be sweltering on the Fourth of July — but again, you know that going in. As our recent weather here has shown us, there really is no telling what’s going to happen Sunday. It could be warm. It could be cold. It could snow. The Earth could open up and molten lava could engulf us all. There are no guarantees. This, of course, makes it hard to
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor dress for the occasion. For me, this means having to make the difficult choice between wearing an Ohio State T-shirt to church or an Ohio State hooded sweatshirt to church. That, of course, is only the beginning of the Easter fun. There’s also the joy of coloring eggs, which is about as much fun as having your hand slammed in a car door. If you are a child with siblings — especially as many siblings as I have — coloring eggs becomes a competition. A competition not only to see who can create the prettiest egg, but also who can get eggs at all. Seeing as how my mother never saw a need to have more than two dozen hard-boiled eggs in our house at one time — and seeing as how there were five
kids in the Fong family — we always knew the amount of eggs we got to color was going to be limited. Which was probably just as well for me, as my eggs were always the worst. My brothers and sisters made fabulous creations when they colored eggs — elaborate Chinese dragons and eggs with miniature blueprints of a nuclear fission device drawn on them and such. The best thing I could ever come up with when designing my eggs was writing “dead chick inside” on it and dropping the egg in some blue dye for awhile. I’m guessing the Easter bunny never had much use for me. Which is fine, seeing as how I never had much use for the Easter bunny. I get Santa Claus. He’s a kind, fat elf with a cute smile and all the kids love sitting on his lap at Christmas time. While I find that insanely time consuming and pointless, have you ever seen a grown adult at the mall in a bunny suit? It truly borders on creepy. Children should not be encouraged to sit on the laps of people in giant bunny suits. They should be spanked if they go near
them. I guess, however, the main reason I can’t stand Easter stems from a little incident that happened five years ago. It was our son Max’s first Easter and he was only a few months old. We were sitting in church during one of those l-o-o-oo-o-n-g Easter services, and as I am wont to do when I’ve been sitting in one place for too long (which is usually about five minutes), I started getting fidgety. I began rummaging through Max’s diaper bag, looking for something to entertain myself (sorry, God). I found a thermometer in his diaper bag and popped it into my mouth, figuring I could at least take my temperature while I was sitting there listening intently to the sermon. As soon as I had put it in my mouth, my wife leaned over and quietly whispered, “You know that’s a rectal thermometer, right?” Happy Easter, everyone!

Why continue to suffer from sinus pain & headaches? • Nasal congestion • Post nasal drainage • Sinus pressure Balloon Sinuplasty™ may be an option for you.

Take half of the crumbs and pat them into the bottom of the prepared pan. Remove the filling from the heat and pour over the bottom crust, spreading it evenly. Then crumble the remaining half of the crumbs evenly over the filling. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 minutes. When I was growing up, we would have rhubarb shortcake a lot of times right out of the oven for supper in the evenings. Mom would sprinkle sugar and cold milk on top. We never had it for breakfast unless it was left over. My dad wouldn’t put milk on it; he would just eat it warm. I have fixed rhubarb shortcake for my children many times, and some like it more than others. If we have ice cream in the freezer, they would prefer that ice cream be served with it. We never had that choice growing up. They don’t act like they care for the milk on the rhubarb like I did when I was younger. The children do really like rhubarb juice and jam.

In a large bowl, combine the soda, baking power, flour, and salt. Then gradually add the sour milk until a really soft dough forms. Spread a layer of this dough in a 9 by 13-inch cake pan, and then add a thick layer of rhubarb. Put the sugar on the rhubarb. Put rest of the dough on top and bake until the rhubarb is tender, about 45 minutes.

Rhubarb finds its way into so many baked goods. It just adds a nice, tart taste to everything. Mom baked with her homegrown rhubarb often, and she never had trouble growing rhubarb. If you want to start your own rhubarb patch, plant the rhubarb one year and then use it the second year. I have always done this and always had good luck. You don’t use the rhubarb for a year, so that you can give the plants time to develop strong roots. I got my starts from a lady in church and just planted a whole row of them, and every year they get fuller and spread out more. I plant my rhubarb in full sun, because I don’t think the plants do as well in the shade. A lot of times people will plant them right at the edge of their garden. We do this and also put
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Most folks know Memphis for its barbecue and Philly for its cheesesteaks, but how about Nashville and its hot chicken? If you’re not sure, you’ve never tried this fried chicken so fiery it will leave your mouth in shock. It’s a flavor you don’t soon forget. Born as cheap, flavorful fare for Nashville’s working class community and offered late into the night for its party-goers, hot chicken has long been a staple in town. But its reputation has grown in recent years. Taylor Swift and B.o.B. even featured one of the city’s best known hot chicken shops in a video they did together. At heart, it’s fried chicken that gets finished with a potent and nearly always secret blend of dry, peppery seasonings (paprika and cayenne are common, though that’s just the start). But that oversimplifies things. “I don’t know,” James McNew, hot chicken fan and bassist for New Jersey indie rock band Yo La Tengo, says of the recipe. “Some kind of combination of love and hate. I’m not sure of the measurements, whether it’s half and half or not.” McNew and husbandwife bandmates Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley have been coming to Nashville for almost two decades. For the music, of course. And the chicken. They sing its praises to anyone who will listen. They even named two songs in honor of their love for Prince’s Hot Chicken Shack, which has been serving up searing hot chicken since sometime during the 1940s. “It’s something different,” said Andre Prince Jeffries, second-generation owner of Prince’s. “It’s not a boring chicken. I mean, you wake up on this chicken. You’re gonna talk about it.” And talk about it they do. The members of Yo La Tengo heard about hot chicken from another band that already had fallen for it. They visited the humble strip-mall home of Prince’s in north Nashville, far from the trendy districts, and were immediately enchanted. “It really was love at first sight,” Kaplan said during a recent interview at Prince’s. “Even before we tasted it. It was obviously unique.” Prince’s is the most popular of Nashville’s growing roster of hot chicken restaurants. Over the years, it has moved several times and its owners have missed a few bills, but Jeffries, with the help of her daughter, niece, brother and cousins, has managed to keep it in her family. As the story goes, it all began with Jeffries’ great uncle Thornton Prince, a bit of a man about town whose girlfriend had put up with enough and wanted a bit of spicy retribution. So she made him a special chicken for breakfast with a fiery kick. “But he liked it, I’m

sure after he kind of startled himself on it,’” Jeffries said. “He had her make some more, whatever stuff she put on it. And word got around. People started coming out to the house for chicken.” “My great uncle started it, but of course I give credit to his lady friend,” Jeffries said. Sixty-odd years later, the family will be honored in May with a prestigious James Beard Foundation America’s Classics Award. It’s a proud moment for Jeffries, but one born out of a simple idea. “I just wanted something to stay in the family,” she said. “Mom and pop places, they are phasing out. Big business is taking over, and so I think there’s very few mom and pop places open that’s been going for as long as we have. That was my goal. But it’s nothing that I’ve done. I’m standing on the shoulders of somebody else.” NASHVILLE HOT FRIED CHICKEN To ensure that the exterior doesn’t burn before the interior cooks through, keep the oil temperature between 300 and 325 degrees. Start to finish: 2 hours Servings: 6 2 quarts cold water 1/2 cup hot sauce Salt and ground black pepper 1/2 cup plus 1/2 teaspoon sugar 3 1/2- to 4-pound whole chicken, quartered 3 quarts peanut or vegetable oil 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 2 cups all-purpose flour Hearty white sandwich bread (optional) Pickle chips (optional) In a large bowl, whisk the cold water, hot sauce, 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 cup sugar until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the chicken and refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. When ready to cook, in a small saucepan over medium, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until shimmering. Add the cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and the garlic powder. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to small bowl and set aside. Remove the chicken from refrigerator and pour off brine. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Two at a time, dredge the chicken pieces through the flour mixture. Shake excess flour from the chicken, then transfer it to wire rack. Do not discard the seasoned flour. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200 F. Set a clean wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high, heat the remaining oil to 350 degrees. Return the chicken pieces to the flour mixture and turn to coat, then shake off the excess. Add half of the chicken to the oil and fry, adjusting the burner as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 300 F and 325 F, until the skin is a deep golden brown and the white meat registers 160 F and the dark meat registers 175 F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain the fried chicken on the prepared wire rack and place in oven to keep warm. Return the oil to 350 F and repeat with the remaining chicken. When all of the chicken is cooked, stir the spicy oil mixture to recombine, then brush it over both sides of the chicken. Serve on bread, if using, and top with pickles, if using.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Tell mother the subject is closed; end of story Dear Annie: I have a wonderful husband and a problem that started when we married last year. We had a destination wedding. My husband's stepfather paid for the immediate family to stay at a beautiful rental house. My brother's ex, "Martha," surprised us by coming, and she brought her daughter, along with a friend and her 3-year-old. The next day, Martha and her friend had to check out of their hotel hours before the wedding and simply assumed they would hang around the rental house until then. This was not OK. Martha never asks permission. She and her friend left the toddler at the house while they went to get food and then came back with nothing for the child, so she went into the kitchen and made him a sandwich from our supplies. I can understand my mother-in-law being upset, but she overreacted and blew up at Martha. They argued, and Martha left and didn't attend the wedding. Although my mom understands how Martha can annoy people, she shut herself off from then on. She didn't help me into my dress, paid no attention during the wedding and spoke to no one. After the wedding, we had a small reception at the house, and she locked herself in our room. I was devastated. My husband's mother apologized profusely to my mother after the incident, but Mom refuses to get over it. She won't come to family gatherings when my in-laws are present. She missed our son's first birthday party. I have tried to broker a truce, and I've told my mother I will no longer listen when she says negative things about my mother-inlaw. The end result is that she avoids the subject and nothing is resolved. Please help. — Stressed Newlywed Dear Stressed: Your mother is being childish and purposely hanging onto this grudge. We think she is jealous of your in-laws and hopes her petulance will make you more attentive. It's working. You are expending a great deal of energy on this situation. Stop. Tell Mom the subject is closed and if she chooses to lose out on family time, that is her decision, and you will no longer try to convince her otherwise. Dear Annie: I need some advice on how to handle put-downs from my wife's friends. It started when our nosy neighbor saw my wife beat me in a wrestling match. Now the neighbor makes remarks about my getting beat up by a woman. My wife refuses to come to my defense and says I have to deal with this woman myself. How do I deal with these gossipy bullies? — Vince Dear Vince: It might help if you make yourself less of an easy target. You allow this neighbor to discombobulate you. Ignore her, or laugh it off. Her opinions are unimportant. But tell your wife that you expect her to stick up for you when her friends insult you, because she would certainly want you to do the same. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Questioning in California," who is converting to Judaism and whose friends are not supportive of her new kosher eating habits. I'm not Jewish, but my husband is. For the past seven years, we have kept a strictly kosher kitchen. I recommend she learn how to make some tasty, unconventional kosher dishes and invite her friends over. I make an amazing Southwestern quesadilla and Kung Pao chicken. My husband makes gourmet pizza. We host every Thanksgiving and serve a traditional (kosher) turkey with all the trimmings. With all this good food around, our friends and family adjusted quickly, and some of them even use our recipes. The lactose intolerant are always glad to know that many dishes served in our house are completely dairy free. In fact, I recommend kosher cookbooks to anyone who is lactose intolerant. — Kosher in California Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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
Have any quick ideas for fixing patent leather? Dear Heloise: My favorite patent leather shoes got some scuffs and nicks from my 5-yearold daughter stomping around in them. I’m not sure how to clean them. — Jaelynn R. in Arizona Well, that’s what little girls do! Those favorite shoes can be fixed with some easy Heloise hints. Use clear nail polish (or polish that is the same color) to fill in the nicks. For scuffs, grab plain old rubbing alcohol. Take a cotton swab or microfiber cloth, dampen with the rubbing alcohol and wipe away the scuffs. Then buff with a soft cloth. This is a cheap fix! Need to clean up a germy mess? Mix 1 tablespoon of household bleach with 1 quart of water
Hints from Heloise Columnist for a simple and effective sanitizing spray! Use this spray within a day, as it can lose its strength when exposed to light or heat. NOTE: Do keep all cleaners labeled and away from pets and children. — Heloise LOVING THOUGHTS Dear Heloise: I love reading your column in the daily
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. I’d like to share this hint with you. I have three daughters, and one had a beautiful flower arrangement sent to our door. No birthday or anniversary — “Just to show you my love.” I thanked her for such a surprise, told her that the flowers made my day and to “give me flowers when I’m alive and can enjoy them.” We started thinking of the beautiful flowers at a funeral and thought, “Let’s give more surprises of flowers to the living!” — June H. in Arkansas Flowers for those who can enjoy them and appreciate them is a heart hint for sure! Why wait until it’s too late? — Heloise
PURSE HOLDER Dear Heloise: I don’t like putting my purse on the floor when I am somewhere like a restaurant. Even at work, I keep my purse off the floor. So, I pull out a bottom drawer of my desk to rest it on. Keeps germs off the bottom, and keeps people from tripping over it. — Kristen S. in Maryland ALL TIED UP Dear Heloise: I use the plastic bag that the newspaper comes in to tie up my plants in the yard and garden. I tie two or three together to be long enough. They usually last through the gardening season and are not very noticeable. — Marie M. in Texas

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, March 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re making behind-the-scenes plans to make improvements to your future. (In fact, these plans might even affect your life direction in general.) Obviously, you have to make sure these plans are realistic. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might encounter someone powerful today who really impresses you. However, their suggestions might be over the top. If you suspect this, you’re probably right. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with people in authority will focus on reforms and improvements today. The key to remember is are these improvements realistic? Are they even doable? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in an excellent frame of mind to study or learn something new today. Investigating anything will thrill you. However, be careful about travel plans that are grandiose. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If making decisions about inheritances and shared property today, make sure you keep your feet on the ground. Don’t give away the farm. Be suspicious about offers that are too good to be true. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) As you work with partners and close friends today, you will accomplish a lot. However, don’t promise more than you can deliver, which you might be tempted to do. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Do whatever you can to make things work better on the job. You might even see ways to improve your health today as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a creative day and powerful for sports, the arts and activities with children. One tiny caveat: beware of overconfidence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You want to introduce improvements through renovating or fixing something at home today. It’s great to be full of big ideas, but don’t go overboard. Stick with a realistic plan. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your enthusiasm for something can make you sell or promote it to anyone today. Furthermore, you’ve done your homework, which means you can answer any question. You’re prepared! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be careful with financial matters today. Although you might see new ways to earn money or even use something you already own, you could be overly optimistic. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Communication with others will be very powerful today. People are attracted to your optimism and your know-how energy. That’s why they’re ready to listen to you and follow your lead. YOU BORN TODAY You are loyal, especially to family. You decided quite young how the world works. You can laugh at yourself and see the irony in life. You think carefully before you do things, because you are an idealist (and one who loves creature comforts). You easily excel at whatever you do. Your year ahead will focus predominantly on partnerships and close friendships. Birthdate of: Pearl Bailey, jazz singer; Eric Idle, comedian/actor; Amy Sedaris, actress.

Eisenhower, died in Washington D.C. at age 78. • In 1990, President George H.W. Bush presented the

A boost for gay marriage: Justices question law WASHINGTON (AP) — Concluding two days of intense debate, the Supreme Court signaled Wednesday it could give a boost to same-sex marriage by striking down the federal law that denies legally married gay spouses a wide range of benefits offered to other couples. As the court wrapped up its remarkable arguments over gay marriage in America, a majority of the justices indicated they will invalidate part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act if they can get past procedural problems similar to those that appeared to mark Tuesday’s case over California’s ban on same-sex marriage. Since the federal law was enacted in 1996, nine states and the District of Columbia have made it legal for gays and lesbians to marry. Samesex unions also were legal in California for nearly five months in 2008 before the Proposition 8 ban. Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the decisive vote in close cases, joined the four moreliberal justices in raising questions Wednesday about a provision that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman for purposes of federal law. It affects more than 1,100 statutes in which marital status is relevant, dealing with tax breaks for married couples, Social Security survivor benefits and, for federal employees, health insurance and leave to care for spouses. Kennedy said the Defense of Marriage Act appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize same-sex marriages. When so
many federal statutes are affected, “which in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens’ day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody,” Kennedy said. Other justices said the law creates what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called two classes of marriage, full and “skim-milk marriage.” If the court does strike down part of DOMA, it would represent a victory for gay rights advocates. But it would be something short of the endorsement of gay marriage nationwide that some envisioned when the justices agreed in December to hear the federal case and the challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage. Still, the tenor of the arguments over two days reflected how quickly attitudes have changed since large majorities in Congress passed the federal DOMA in 1996 and President Bill Clinton signed it into law. In 2011, President Barack Obama abandoned the legal defense of the law in the face of several lawsuits, and last year Obama endorsed gay marriage. Clinton, too, has voiced regret for signing the law and now supports allowing gays and lesbians to marry. In 1996, the House of Representatives’ report on the legislation explained that one of its purposes was “to express moral disapproval of homosexuality.” Justice Elena Kagan read those words in the courtroom Wednesday,

“I think it’s time for the court to recognize that this excluding discrimination, lawfully married gay and lesbian couples from federal benefits, cannot be reconciled with our fundamental commitment to equal treatment under law,” Verrilli said. Both Verrilli and Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer for Edith Windsor, the 83-year-old New York woman who sued over DOMA, told the court that views about gay people and marriage have shifted dramatically since 1996 when the law was approved. “Why are you so confident in that judgment? How many states permit gay couples to marry?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked Kaplan. Nine, she said. “So there’s been a sea change between now and 1996,” Scalia said, doubtfully. But Chief Justice John Roberts jumped on the idea of a rapid shift in opinion to suggest that perhaps gays and lesbians do not need special protection from the court. “As far as I can tell, political leaders are falling all over themselves to endorse your side of the case,” Roberts said. The justices stepped into the dispute after lower federal courts ruled against the measure. The DOMA argument followed Tuesday’s case over California’s ban on same-sex marriage, a case in which the justices indicated they might avoid a major national ruling on whether
America’s gays and lesbians have a right to marry. Even without a significant ruling, the court appeared headed for a resolution that would mean the resumption of gay and lesbian weddings in California. Supreme Court arguments are the most visible part of the justices’ consideration of the cases before them, but they often play a relatively small role in rulings compared to the mountain of legal briefs that are filed leading up to the public sessions. Lawsuits around the country have led four federal district courts and two appeals courts to strike down DOMA’s Section 3, which defines marriage. In 2011, the Obama administration abandoned its defense of the law but continues to enforce it. The change in position led the court to consider the related questions of whether the House Republican leadership can defend the law in court because the administration decided not to, and whether the administration forfeited its right to participate in the case. Roberts and Scalia seemed most interested in this sort of outcome, and the chief justice
offered perhaps the most pointed comment of the day when he wondered why Obama continues to enforce a law he believes is unconstitutional. “I don’t see why he doesn’t have the courage of his convictions and execute not only the statute but do it consistent with his view of the Constitution, rather than saying, ‘Oh, we’ll wait till the Supreme Court tells us we have no choice,’” Roberts said. If the Supreme Court finds that it does not have the authority to hear the case, Windsor probably would still get the $363,000 estate tax refund for which she sued because she won in the lower courts. But there would be no definitive decision about the law from the nation’s highest court, and it would remain on the books. Windsor, who goes by Edie, married Thea Spyer in 2007 in Canada after doctors told them that Spyer would not live much longer. Spyer, who suffered from multiple sclerosis, died in 2009 and left everything she had to Windsor. There is no dispute that if Windsor had been married to a man, her estate tax bill would have been zero.

evoking a reaction from the audience that sounded like a cross between a gasp and nervous laughter. Kagan’s quotation gave lawyer Paul Clement, representing the Republican-conHouse of trolled Representatives that has taken up defense of the law in place of the administration, some uncomfortable moments at the lectern. “Does the House report say that? Of course, the House report says that. And if that’s enough to invalidate the statute, then you should invalidate the statute,” Clement said. But he said the more relevant question is whether Congress had “any rational basis for the statute.” He supplied one: the federal government’s interest in treating same-sex couples the same no matter where they live. Clement said the government does not want military families “to resist transfer from West Point to Fort Sill because they’re going to lose their benefits.” The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal, and Fort Sill is in Oklahoma, where gay marriages are not legal. Opposing Clement was the Obama administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, Donald Verrilli, who said the provision of DOMA at issue, Section 3, impermissibly discriminates against gay people.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Friendly collision the Final Four. With underdogs La Salle and Wichita State playing the late game, Ohio State and Arizona are the only seeds in the top eight left in what looks like the least attractive regional. “We’re not caught up in the sexiness and all that,” Arizona guard Mark Lyons said. “I feel like my teammates are handsome, but that’s (beside) the point.” Both teams have a mix of veteran talent and emerging youngsters, leading to a few marquee positional matchups that are tough for both coaches to predict.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jeff Green scored 21 points and hit the winning layup at the buzzer, and the Boston Celtics snapped a five-game losing streak with a 93-92 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Brandon Bass scored a season-high 22 points to lead the Celtics, who rallied from a 14point deficit in the fourth quarter to avoid matching their longest skid of the season. Boston had dropped seven of nine to fall into seventh place in the Eastern Conference 2 games ahead of eighth-place Milwaukee. With 9.2 seconds remaining, Paul Pierce drove into the frontcourt and had the ball knocked out of bounds by Cleveland’s Alonzo Gee with 2.1 seconds left. After a video review confirmed the Celtics had possession, Green

Coaching pals to face off in Sweet 16
Heat’s streak goes up in flames The Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak was snapped Wednesday night by the Chicago Bulls, 101-97, when a furious comeback by LeBron James and his teammates fell short. For the better part of two months, they were the NBA's comeback kings. They erased seven double-digit deficits during the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times, and won them all. Not Wednesday. See Page 18.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ever since Thad Matta and Sean Miller shared a tiny office at Miami of Ohio nearly two decades ago, the coaches’ friendship has survived job changes, practical jokes and a few hundred bucks in unpaid lunch tabs. They’ve worked together and recruited against each other. They’ve shared scouting tips and sought job advice. They even briefly lived under the same roof with their entire families. “I wouldn’t be here today without him,” Miller said Wednesday. “I learned a lot from him, enjoyed being around him when we worked together, and we remain very good friends.” They remained close after
their teams faced off in a memorable Ohio State victory over Xavier in the NCAA tournament six years ago, and they’re still close heading into their next meeting tonight at Staples Center, when the second-seeded Buckeyes (28-7) meet Miller’s Arizona Wildcats (27-7) in the West Region semifinals. “I don’t like the fact that we’re playing, but I’m happy as can be for him,” Matta said. The winner gets much more than bragging rights between best friends: While nobody in either uniform would suggest this game is the true regional final, both teams realize the winner of this meeting between powerhouse basketball schools will be a strong favorite to make

Boys Track ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Deon Metz said. “Seeing where we are in practice right now, we’ve got a long way to go — and a lot of that is the weather. “We’ll know more about where we are after Saturday (the Tippecanoe relays) and Tuesday (a trimeet). When there’s snow on the track, it’s hard to get a good run in. These first couple of weeks will be mainly time trials and conditioning work since it’s been so cold. But we’ve got a lot of guys returning, and a lot of those guys were at state last year.” The key strength for Troy, as was last year, will be the sprint relays. Miles Hibbler — who also is the team’s leading long jumper — Nick Zimmer, Devante Bush and Blake Williams all return from the 4x100 team that went to state. “We lose Nick James — who was a big part of that relay getting to state. But we return three guys that ran at state, and the other guy was a sub that easily was fast enough to have been on that team,” Metz said. “Miles was our top sprinter behind Nick last year, and we’re hoping he can step up and fill some of that void. He’s looked good so far this spring.” But that’s not the only state experience the Trojans have this year. Distance runner Branden Nosker is coming in fresh off a state berth during cross country season —where the Trojans also won a GWOC North title. He is joined by sophomore Troy Schultz, senior Jon Osman and a host of cross country talent. “Those guys had an outstanding cross country season where they won the division and Branden went to state,” Metz said. “That helps us out with momentum a lot. “We have a lot of young guys in the distance races, too. A lot of times, you see cross country-only guys. But this year a lot of those guys decided to come over to the track side, too. We have so many freshmen — that’s a lot of depth to build on.” Once again, the Trojans welcome back a solid group of throwers in Alex Dalton, Seth Overla and Andrew Kostecka, senior Curtis Johnson returns in the hurdles and Nathan Fleischer returns in the pole vault.

Troy’s Devante Bush runs at the head of a pack during a relay race last season. “We’ve always been good in the throws, and this year will be no different,” Metz said. “All three of those guys were able to score in several meets last year. Curtis is our only returner in the hurdles. We’ve been thin there the last couple of years, but it’s nice to have him back to help. “Nathan got better and better last year in the pole vault. He scored in the league meet for us, and he’s only been getting better this spring. Traditionally, we’ve been known for having two pole vaulters, though. Herb Hartman works with them and does a great job, and I’m sure he’ll find someone that can score for us.” With that core group, Metz also expects others to find roles for themselves this year. “I don’t like to talk about anybody until they’ve done something, but we’ve got some guys that are going to make names for themselves this year,” he said. “We’ve got a pretty good core coming back to build around — but with the holes we do have, it’s going to be tough to pull off what we did last year in winning the division.” That’s because perennial champ Trotwood — which Troy edged out to win the GWOC North — brings back a host of talent, as well, and there are plenty of other challengers lining up.
“Trotwood’s going to have absolutely everyone back,” Metz said. “Butler has a good distance team, Piqua was a better team last year and Sidney improved, too. It’s going to be tough to repeat.” Until it warms up, though, things are just tough all over for everyone. “We were spoiled last season,” Metz said. “At this time, we had records highs. Instead of sweats, we were running in shorts and tshirts. It felt like midsummer, and then it turned cold on us. We’re hoping its the opposite this year — since it’s been so cold, we hope it warms up and then stays that way so it’s not so shocking.” • Tippecanoe Tippecanoe senior Sam Wharton returns in search of the state title that has eluded him for the past couple years. His senior teammate Grant Koch hopes to make a return trip to state as well. The Tipp boys are in good shape in the distance department with Wharton, Koch and fellow senior Rick Andrews. “Our distance crew will be the strength of our team this year, with many proven guys returning,” Tippecanoe coach Bob Crawford said. “Sam, Grant and Rick will be leading a talented group of runners.” Crawford also thinks the sprinters and field events
possess the potential to excel. “We have a number of returning athletes that could step up,” Crawford said. “Our sprinter strength is going to be in the 200, 300 hurdles and 400. To name people right now would be premature, and we will have to see who steps up. “We have a number of athletes who have worked hard over the winter and a number of talented young jumpers out. As with the sprinters, time will tell who will step up and shine.” • Milton-Union “We are young, but return a lot of hard workers,” said Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith describing his boys team this year. Zach Pricer is expected to lead a young group of sprinters coming back. Connor Lunsford is the top returning distance runner. In the field events will be Nick Fields (shot put) and Josh Newman (high jump). • Miami East The Miami East Vikings don’t return much experience this season, but the potential is through the roof. “We are young and relatively inexperienced this year,” Miami East coach Steve Karnehm said. “But we have a number of kids who have matured since last season and also several newcomers who should add to our accomplishments.” Those accomplishments include a second-place finish in the Cross County Conference last year — something the Vikings are aiming at duplicating or even improving on. Mike Harmon, a regional qualifier in the high jump, returns, as does 20foot long jumper Ross Snodgrass. Rob Adams, Kolin Bendickson, Dan Bodenmiller and Austin Garrison will add maturity and depth to the throwing corps. Kevin Jackson has made great strides in the 400 itself and is also a natural team leader, while Snodgrass will run the hurdles and on relays. Junior first-time sprinter Colton Holicki has shown plenty of promise, as has Dalton Allen, Devyn Carson, Nick Ochoa and Conner Hellyer. Seth Pemberton and Josh Ewing are the top returning distance runners, both capable of breaking the 4:30 mark in the 1,600 and 10:00
in the 3,200. “We have four or five athletes who are capable of making an appearance at state this year,” Karnehm said. “We will be quite strong in some events, with other events populated by relative newcomers and underclassmen.” • Bethel The Bethel boys track team isn’t large in numbers, but coach Brad Clendening is banking on quality over quantity. “We are small in numbers this year, but we will have some very strong individuals that will get us some points in most all of our meets,” Brad Clendening said. Senior Andrew Hurst — who set a school record in the 400 as a junior — is back hoping to improve on his fifth-place finish at regional. He will also run the 100, 200 and relays. Derrick Diddle returns after being injured last season and junior Jason Clendening will run both hurdles and relay events. “Jason has improved his stride and looks to do very well in the hurdles,” Brad Clendening said. Eric Landes is the lone returner in the distance department. “He had a good first season, and will look to improve in the shorter races,” Brad Clendening said. The Bees have plenty of depth in the field events. Junior Jacob Tumey is back after a solid sophomore season. Clendening said he thinks Tumey has the potential to tie or break the school record of 6-foot-6. Sophomore Devon Hazely will return in the high jump and long jump. Senior Brady Davis will be looking to have a solid season in the throwing events, while juniors Tracy Stover and Chris Morris will also toss shot and discus. • Troy Christian Troy Christian’s boys brought home a Metro Buckeye Conference crown last season — and now they’re looking for more. “We’re looking to build on last year’s MBC championship,” Troy Christian coach Jeff Butson said. “We lost a few of our top performers from last year, but we are very capable of competing wherever we go. We have a very talented group of freshmen who will play key roles in continuing last
year’s success — particularly in sprints, middle distance and field events.” Seniors Tyler Shinall and Matthew Coots will anchor the sprinters, while junior Brennan Klingler adds both depth and contributes to the overall “team” vibe. Senior Mark Dillahunt will look to build on last year’s success, and senior Justin Lewis will look to keep improving in the high and long jumps. • Covington Kyle Moore, the Covington boys track coach, is excited about the potential the Buccaneers possess in 2013 — and with good reason. Moore has 33 kids on the roster and returns the bulk of the team from a year ago. “We should have a great year,” said Moore. “The key is keeping everyone healthy.” Covington has several candidates who will be counted on to contribute in the shot and discuss; senior Matt Reck, juniors Jordan Wolfe and Tyler Henry, sophomore Logan Perkins and freshman Ian Fries. Plus, several younger kids, including freshman Brandon Magee will be counted on to fill in to the relay events in the absence of graduate Isaiah Winston. The strength of Covington’s team will likely be in sprints, hurdles and mid-distance events with the return of seniors Troy Cron and Dustin Fickert, along with juniors Lane White, A.J. Ouellette and Dalton Bordelon. Cron returns after qualifying for state in the 110 hurdles. He’s’ also the school record holder in both the 110 and 300 hurdles and has the potential to make it to Columbus once again. He’ll be pushed by Bordelon and sophomore Ben Miller. White also returns after a recordbreaking sophomore campaign that concluded with a fourth-place finish at the state meet in the 400. Senior Trent Tobias returns to lead the Buccs in the pole vault, while senior Alex Baskerville returns in the high jump along with newcomer Ryan Craft. The Buccs are still unsettled in the long jump, however. Nathan Dunn and Alex Schilling are two youngsters looking to have breakout sophomore seasons for the Buccs in the 1600 and 3200.

Buckeyes
Americans got away with one
■ CONTINUED FROM 15 faces a stiff challenge against Lyons, the ballhawking guard described by Miller as the hoops equivalent of a running quarterback. Deshaun Thomas, the Buckeyes’ leading scorer, will be checked on most possessions by Solomon Hill, the Wildcats’ rangy senior from Los Angeles. Ohio State is the only team to make the regional semifinals in each of the last four seasons, and the Buckeyes are on a 10game winning streak since mid-February. Arizona overcame its lateseason struggles to put together yet another solid NCAA run, trouncing Belmont and unceremoniously ending Harvard’s hopes last week while making better than 55 percent of their shots in both games. “It always gets tougher the further you go in the tournament,” said Craft, whose late 3-pointer propelled Ohio State past Iowa State last Sunday. “You play against great players, and as a defender, you always want to take away their go-to. They have more than one.” Arizona should have a home-court advantage as the regional’s closest school to Los Angeles by far, with thousands of Wildcats fans expected to make the trip to cheer on a team with seven players from Southern California.
The Wildcats had a huge advantage two years ago in the West Region final in Anaheim, although UConn still advanced on the way to the national title. Arizona and Ohio State have never met in the NCAA tournament, but Matta and Miller faced off in the second round in 2007, three years after Matta took over the Buckeyes and left Miller in charge at Xavier. Mike Conley Jr. and Greg Oden led Ohio State past the Musketeers after Ron Lewis’ clutch 3-pointer forced overtime, and the Buckeyes eventually reached the national championship game. Neither coach enjoyed facing a good friend that year, and their collision this week isn’t as fun as the chance to reconnect in person for the first time in months. The coaches know plenty about each other’s strategies, and they also know their quirks. Miller realizes Matta doesn’t enjoy being too far from his own bed, remembering long recruiting trips together when “it could be 10 o’clock at night, and he would give you that look like, ‘Why don’t we just get home?’” “I guess if there’s one small advantage we have, we have him in a place that he’s not real familiar with, a long way from home,” Miller added.
U.S. escaped Mexico with 0-0 draw in World Cup qualifier BY JIM LITKE AP Sports Columnist The Americans got away with one. There’s no denying that. Mexico, playing at home, was the better team. They possessed the ball more, created more scoring chances (17 shots to 1) and corner kicks (15-2) and rarely stopped surging, even after one questionable call went against them early, bookended by an undeniably bad call late. Facing a young and inexperienced U.S. defense, they effectively turned the last five minutes of Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier at Azteca Stadium into target practice. For once, it wasn’t enough. “You’re never going to come to a place like Azteca and go out and have it nice and easy,” U.S. goalkeeper Brad Guzan said after the 0-0 draw. “So we knew at some point, it was going to come, the pressure was going to come, and we were able to deal with it.” As a result, the man who wound up on the hot seat at the end was not the one some people expected going in. The injustice of it all no doubt was still sinking in when Jose Manuel De la Torre, the coach of soccermad Mexico, was asked afterward whether he expected to keep his job. “I’m not responsible for

The federation has the last word, they and the owners take that decision.” It’s one measure how far the game has come in the United States that his counterpart, Jurgen Klinsmann, likely would have been grilled — though not nearly as quickly nor audaciously — if his team had lost. Most American sports fans are distracted by the NCAA tournament, or by the incredible run LeBron James is on, perhaps even waiting for spring training. And to be fair, despite all the history hanging over this game — in a place where the Americans had managed exactly one tie in 14 previous tries — it’s still early enough in qualifying
for the 2014 World Cup for both teams to get in under the wire comfortably. De la Torre made that argument, pointing out that Panama, the surprise leader of the CONCACAF group, has five points and his team has three, with the potential for 21 more points still out there. “It’s close and of course we are not where we wanted to be,” he said. “Our obligation is to win at home, and we have left points behind, two points out of six is low, we have that clear.” The Americans are snugly in second with four, but the bigger surprise might be that finally, there are some expectations for the U.S. side, That was reinforced by the stir a story in the Sporting News kicked up at the start of last week.
Quoting unidentified players and people close to the team, it portrayed Klinsmann, a great German player and one-term World Cup coach, as out of touch with the sentiment in his locker room and a poor tactician to boot. That the U.S. team beat Costa Rica 1-0 in a blizzard in Colorado a few days later did little to quiet the restive mood. Some players were upset with how he benched Carlos Bocanegra, a stalwart of the national team and long its captain. Others were disgruntled over what they viewed as favorable treatment afforded a handful of German imports — all four the sons of U.S. servicemen — and how Klinsmann often kept everyone uncertain about their spot by posting his starting lineups at the last minute. The best thing that emerged from the draw, other than the point — the only other point a U.S. side has earned in Mexico came in a draw in 1997 — was the emergence of Omar Gonzalez as a rock in Bocanegra’s old job, at the center of the defense, a development that could pay big dividends down the road.

McIlroy tries to find form going into Masters HUMBLE, Texas (AP) — Once the frost thawed, Rory McIlroy was back at work Wednesday morning trying to find a swing he could trust and repeat. McIlroy hasn’t looked anything like the No. 1 player in golf this year, and now he’s not. That spot belongs to Tiger Woods again after winning for the third time in two months to establish himself as the favorite going into the Masters. None of this bothers McIlroy.
He is more concerned with the path of his swing than the mathematical average of his ranking. He wants to win whenever he plays, though there is pragmatic side to the 23year-old from Northern Ireland. He still hasn’t made the cut against a full field this year. That makes the Houston Open more than just a final tuneup for the first major of the year. It’s a place to measure progress. “I want to get back to
getting into contention in tournaments and trying to win,” McIlroy said. “I think this is a good week to try and get into contention, have a chance with the Masters coming up. I’m just really focused on this week in Houston and trying to play well here.” McIlroy is part of a strong field at the Houston Open, where the tournament tries to give players a taste of what they might see in two weeks. The greens are fast
and pure, with several closely mown collection areas that allow for a variety of shots around the green. The Houston Open thought it was getting the No. 1 player in the world when McIlroy signed up to play Redstone Golf Club in January. It still has five of the top 10 players, including Steve Stricker, Brandt Snedeker, Louis Oosthuizen and Steve Stricker. And it has Phil Mickelson, who likes
ly nicely,” McIlroy said. Far more important is what follows over the next few days. Under more scrutiny than he had ever faced — a new place in the game, a new equipment deal with Nike — McIlroy tripped badly coming out of the blocks. He missed the cut in Abu Dhabi. He lost in the first round of the Match Play C h a m p i o n s h i p . Frustration boiled over to the point that he walked out in the second round of the Honda Classic.

Girls Track ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Kurt Snyder said. “Hopefully we can get the overall GWOC too. We were second last year, and we have pretty much everyone back.” Ashley Rector returns after a record-breaking season as a junior that concluded at the Division I state meet. Rector — who plans to run track at Ohio State next year — holds school records in the triple jump, long jump, 400 and was part of the 4x200 and 4x800 teams which also set Troy High School records last season. “Ashley will step up and run the 800 this year. That’s what Ohio State wants to see her do,” Snyder said. “She’s a rare breed of athlete, where she excels in jumps and anything from the 200 to 800. She has a wide range of success.” Seniors Todda Norris, Rector, Catelyn Schmiedebusch, junior Shanelle Byrd and sophomore Gracie Huffman — all of whom got state experience last year on the 4x200 team that took sixth — are back. “With the success that the sprinters had in the 4x200, and all of them coming back, they look to kind of carry the load for the team,” Snyder said. “Having all of them back again, hopefully that will mean good things for us at state again.” Rector and Norris will both appear in the long jump, where they both excelled last season. Rector cleared 18-feet and Norris was in the 17-feet range. Huffman will be joining them in the event, which Snyder said was “one of their strongest events.” Sharice Hibbler, a member of the school record 4x100 team, and Leah Michael will also focus on sprinting events. Schmiedesch’s bread-andbutter will be the 100 and 300 hurdles. Tori Schlarman and Natasha Lucas will also be featured in hurdle events. In the distance events, Caitlyn McMinn, KatieGrace Sawka will occupy the 1,600 and 3,200 for the Trojans. McKenna Poling, Courtney Mazzulla and Sarah Adkins are expected to be strong middle distance runners. Natalie Snyder, Lindsay Smith, Jenna Selby and Cristina Dennison will also run distance events. Jessica Blake will be the top thrower in both the shot and discus. Mariah Sano and Abby Brinkman will provide Troy with a spark in the pole vault. “The pole vaulters really worked hard in the winter and PRed in the winter,” Snyder said. The Trojans open Saturday at the Tipp Relays. • Tippecanoe Bob Crawford is back as coach at Tippecanoe with a group of experienced girls. Move-in Allison Sinning will be relied on in the distance events — and Crawford expects her to build off her success in cross country season, where she was named first team AllOhio with a seventh-place finish at state. “From her cross country experiences and her experiences at her former school, she should be a force to be reckoned with for us. She is looking strong from the winter seasoning and ready to go,” Crawford said. Allison Rawlins, Erica
Houston so much that he would rather be here than his usual schedule of playing the week before the Masters. Because the Masters is a week later than usual based on the calendar — it always ends on the second Sunday of April — the Texas Open was given the spot a week before Augusta. That change worked out well for McIlroy, who wants to be in Augusta the weekend before the Masters. “I thought it fit in real-

Todda Norris is one of many Troy Trojans returning with state experience earned last season. Comer, Sarah Janosik and Briana Heilman are expected to step up this season as the top sprinters. “All of our seniors know what’s expected of them,” Crawford said. The Red Devils are young in the field positions, but Crawford hopes people can step up. “The field is an area where we are looking for people to step up and establish themselves. We have some talented freshmen, but we will see how they do at the high-school level,” Crawford said. • Milton-Union Michael Meredith returns as coach at MiltonUnion. In the sprinting department, Shelby Brumbaugh will run the 400, Rachel Paden will run in the 100 and 200. Katie Litton (1,600) and Stephanie Fetters (3,200) will occupy the distance events. Kinsey Douglas will high jump and long jump, while Rachel Hurst will throw discus. • Miami East It doesn’t matter if it’s a different year, the Miami East girls track team still has the same high expectations. “The Vikings are now a veteran group that is looking to win their fourth consecutive league title this year,” Miami East girls coach Bruce Vanover said. “We have 33 girls on the roster this year, and last year we didn’t have any seniors. With nine seniors this year, we are looking for this group of veterans to do extremely well. They are hoping to take and build on the success that they had as a team last year.” Leading the way for the Vikings in sprinting will be three-time state qualifier Corrine Melvin, along with regional qualifiers Lindsey Roeth, Kylie Brown, Renee Deford and Allie Millhouse. Vanover expects a lot of competition in the hurdles, with returners Millhouse, Leah Dunivan, Morgan Jess, Haleigh Smith, Marley Robers and Emma Monnin. Freshman Emily Holicki is also expected to join the mix. “Emily Holicki could have a break-out year on the
track team, but only time will tell,” Vanover said. “This group of veterans has the experience and talent to make a deep run this year. Together, this group of sprinters should be able to find a combination that will allow them to improve on the regional success they have experienced over the course of the past two years.” Meredith Wesco, Abigail Amheiser, Erin Augustus, Abby Hawkins and freshman Sami Sand will be featured in the distance events. “This group of young ladies had a very successful cross country season, and we are looking forward to them continuing that success on the track,” Vanover said. Dunivan, a state placer in the shot and high jump last year, returns with high hopes for this season. She broke the school record at state last season, jumping 5foot-4. Ashley Current and freshmen Karson Mahaney and Megan Kinnison will also participate in the throwing events. “This group of throwers has the potential to finish 12 in many of the meets this year. They will be fun to watch,” Vanover said. Montana Hahn will also lead the way in both the long jump and high jump. Freshman Emily Holicki is also expected to be in the contention. The pole vaulting duties will be handled by senior Katrina Sutherly and juniors Stevee Hazel and Abigail Smith. • Bethel After a season of nothing but youth and inexperience, the Bethel Bees are hoping to find a happy medium between full-of-potential and veteran. “We are young, but we have depth,” Bethel coach Steve Pytel said. “(We have a) fresh, good group with five good juniors and eight sophomores. We should be very competitive and much improved.” Leading the way will be a pair of returning regional qualifiers in Maddie Ellerbrock and Marieke Van Haaren. Ellerbrock, a junior sprinter, was one step away from state in the long jump, while Van Haaren runs the distance races.
Both groups will be deep, too. Freshmen Tia Koewler, Courtney Schmidt and Sammy Labosky sophomore Lytia Hart and junior Ashlyn Bird will make up the sprinting corps, while sophomore Jill Callaham and freshmen Courtney Golden and Bailey McCabe will join the distance crew, with Ellerbrock and Hart also running mid-distance races. Savannah Swisher will throw the disc and shot, while Schmidt and Maddy Miller will also long jump. • Troy Christian The numbers game may not favor the Eagles this season, but Troy Christian coach Jeff Butson wants to play the game a different way. “We don’t have a lot of girls on the team, but I believe in quality over quantity,” he said. “Our girls will be very competitive. Multiple school records could be set this year.” Taking aim at many of those are senior Morgan Rench and sophomore Maddie Rench. “Morgan (200 and 400) is the senior leader who really sets the tone for the team. She’s aiming to set school records in all her races this year,” Butson said. “And Maddie (1,600 and relays) is an awesome competitor who will run with anyone. She’s ready to set multiple records, too.” Adding depth with be senior high jumper Haley Farr, who Butson said surprised herself by winning the MBC high jump title last year but wants to build on that. • Covington The Covington girls track team doesn’t have many kids on the roster, but what they do have is plenty of talent. “This is the lowest number of girls I’ve had since I’ve coached here, but we have some good athletes,” Covington coach Dave Tobias said of his roster of 13 girls. “We’ll struggle winning meets because we don’t have that many girls, but individually, we should do pretty well.” Leading the way for Covington will be senior Tara Snipes, who holds the school records in the 800 (2:18.35) and the mile (5:27.70) Snipes also is a returning state placer after finishing 8th in the state in the 800 as a junior. Seniors Anna Snyder and Jenna Rindler also return for Covington in several events. Snyder holds the school record in the pole vault (8 feet) and contributes in several relay events, while Rindler leads Covington in the shot and discus as a returning district qualifier. The addition of junior Jackie Siefring and the longawaited return of junior Shianne Fortner will help, as well. Siefring joins the the team after placing third in the 300 hurdles and seventh in the 110 hurdles at state last season at Russia, while Fortner returns to the track after a frustrating sophomore year that was lost due to illness. Also returning to the track this season will be juniors Briana Grilliot, Sarah Ray and Hannah Retz, along with sophomores Sadie Canan and Megan Lange. Three freshman join the team after solid campaigns in junior high a year ago.
Bulls end Heat’s streak at 27 CHICAGO (AP) — The Miami Heat’s 27-game winning streak was snapped Wednesday night by the Chicago Bulls, 10197, when a furious comeback by LeBron James and his teammates fell short. The Heat finished six shy of the 33-game record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers. Luol Deng scored 28 points, Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 17 rebounds, and the Bulls brought the Heat’s pursuit of NBA history to a screeching halt. Miami’s superstar did all he could to keep the run going, scoring 32 points and even collecting a flagrant foul during a physical final few minutes. The Heat hadn’t lost since the Pacers beat them in Indianapolis on Feb. 1. But after grinding out some close wins lately, including a rally from 27 down in Cleveland, no one counted them out until the final buzzer. For the better part of two months, they were the NBA’s comeback kings. They erased seven doubledigit deficits during the streak. They found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter 11 times, and won them all. Not Wednesday. And when they walked off the floor in Chicago, faces were stoic as the Heat trudged toward the locker room. James turned and glared at one fan who grabbed at his head. The Bulls, meanwhile, whooped and slapped hands with anyone they could reach. It will go down as the second-longest winning streak in the history of
American major pro sports. And some of those Lakers believed their time would pass as Miami’s streak rolled along, with Jerry West among those saying that he believed the reigning champions had a real shot at pulling it off. The streak began on Super Bowl Sunday in Toronto, a day when Heat players were mildly annoyed about having to miss football’s title game. When San Francisco and Baltimore were to be playing, the Heat were to be flying home for a game the following night. So team officials team changed course, as a surprise. Miami beat Toronto that afternoon, then stayed in the city several more hours to watch the Super Bowl together, an event highlighted by Shane Battier giving an unplanned speech about appreciating little moments as a team. For whatever reason, the Heat were unbeatable for nearly the next two months. And they won games in a number of different ways. They blew out good teams like the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Bulls, then inexplicably struggled with lottery-bound Cleveland, Detroit, Sacramento, Charlotte and Orlando. They rallied from 13 points down in the final 8 minutes to beat Boston, from a 27-point third-quarter hole at Cleveland, and from 11-point deficits against Detroit and Charlotte all those coming in a seven-day span, no less.

Cavs ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 took an inbound pass from Avery Bradley at the top of the key, drove into the lane and scored over two defenders as time expired. Wayne Ellington scored 16 points to lead Cleveland, which has lost six in a row — matching a season high — and 10 of 12. Pierce, who had 19 points and 10 rebounds, hit a jumper with 32 seconds remaining to make it 92-91. Following a miss by Shaun Livingston, the Celtics regained possession and called timeout with 9.2 seconds remaining. The next play, which began in the backcourt, seemed to set Pierce up for the final shot before Gee knocked the ball loose in front of Cleveland’s bench. The Celtics quickly regrouped and Bradley found Green for the winner. The Cavaliers were coming off their worst defeat of the season, a 38-point loss at Houston on Friday. Cleveland seemingly had control of the game in the fourth quarter, but lost a battle of teams that have been decimated by injuries.
Boston played without forward Kevin Garnett, who missed his third straight consecutive because of inflammation in his left ankle. Guard Courtney Lee has also missed the last three games of a sprained left ankle. Cleveland played without All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who missed his seventh straight game with a bruised left shoulder. Dion Waiters, the Cavaliers’ starting shooting guard, was out for the third game in a row with a sore left knee. The Cavs trailed by 12 in the second quarter but cut the deficit to 4645 at halftime. They opened the third quarter on an 17-4 run to take a 62-50 lead before Boston trimmed it to 73-69 early in the fourth. A trio of 3pointers by Daniel Gibson, C.J. Miles and Luke Walton, along with two baskets by Marreese Speights, stretched the lead to 86-72. Pierce also had eight assists but nearly negated all of them with seven turnovers. Jordan Crawford added 12 points for Boston. Miles and Speights scored 13 points each for Cleveland.
