County jail must be renovated or closed Commissioners looking into building issues BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com County commissioners are still gathering information to determine if the aging Miami County Jail should be renovated or closed. Miami County Sheriff Charles Cox said closing the downtown jail and moving to the Incarceration Facility on County Road 25-A

makes the most sense logistically and likely also financially. Cost estimates for renovating the county jail, built in 1972, or moving to the Incarceration Facility, which closed three years ago due to budget cuts, have not yet been determined. However, Cox said re-opening the Incarceration Facility is a more feasible option because it provides more than double the number of beds and needs

much less work. The Miami County Jail is in need of major restoration, he said. “All the toilets, all the sinks, all the COX showers, 75 percent of the plumbing needs to

be removed,” he explained. Miami County Commissioner Richard Cultice said commissioners are still researching the two options. Commissioners recently sent a letter to the sheriff requesting elaboration on Cox’s concerns. “We asked for details and clarification,” Cultice said. “We’re just in the very early stages of gathering information.” The Incarceration Facility,

WM discusses wastewater issue Number double of what should be flowing through system BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com The village of West Milton has a problem. The average flow of water through their wastewater treatment plant should be 400,000-500,000 gallons a day. The actual flow is 900,000 to 1 million gallons a day. That means that an excess of groundwater and rainwater is seeping into the system. The disproportionate amount of water got the attention of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency during its annual audit. “The EPA has spoke, and we have to fix it,” utilities supervisor Tim Swartzauber told council at Tuesday’s workshop. This flow discrepancy is called an Infiltration and Inflow, or I&I, problem. According to Swartzauber,

infiltration is water other than wastewater which enters a sewer system, including sewer service connections and foundation drains, from the ground through defective pipes, pipe joints, bad connections and manholes. Inflow is water other than wasterwater that comes from down spouts, cellar drains, yard drains, manhole covers, cross connections between storm sewers and sanitary sewers, surface runoff and sump pumps. He said the I&I makes for overflows in the plant’s equalization basin and overall poor treatment performance. “The collection system cannot handle the excessive flows,” Swartzauber said. The EPA gave the village a Schedule of Compliance of 53 months to get their I&I fixed. The original timeline

which opened in the late ’90s, needs only to be cleaned and undergo minor changes. “We’d probably have to take one of the pods — with 60 beds — and make it retrofitted for females rather than males,” Cox said. Other supplies are still needed, such as computers, food for the kitchen and updated books for the library. “What we’re talking

about won’t take too long,” he said. Incarceration The Facility also can house more inmates — 240 — versus 111 for the downtown jail. “That satisfies the judges, who want more beds,” he said. The Miami County Jail could then be used as office space. A state jail inspector will be visiting soon, but no date has been set. Commissioners have not scheduled a meeting to discuss the jail again.

ATV • CONTINUED FROM A1 Fraley, a road deputy for nine years, recently was assigned to the Miami County Park District patrol last month. “I get a lot of people that stop to say they are glad to see us out here (on the bike trail and the parks),” Fraley said. Fraley said her favorite part of working within the park system is seeing schools visit the parks.

on this project,” Swartzauber said. Once the entire system is mapped, Swartzauber and his crew will start budgeting projects and knocking on doors. Because of how the lines were installed 20 years ago, it’s possible a new stormsewer system will be needed, noted supervisor of streets and grounds Ben Herron. It’s more likely that many residents will have to fix their sump pump systems so as to not leech water into the main lines. “Let’s be proactive in letting people know,” councilwoman Susan Willis said. As the problem is more honed in, residents will be informed via handbills or mailings and through local newspapers. Although Swartzauber wants to get started mapping in the next couple of

months, it could take years to get the complete water system budgeted and fixed. Swartzauber said the ultimate goal is to get down to 500,000 gallons a day flowing through the plant. “If we get 50 percent of the gallons cut, I’ll be happy,” Swartzauber said, “But I want to get under 500,000.” Once the I&I issue has been completely resolved, Kline notes that the city and the residents will be saving money. “This will save us money. Not only the municipal operations, because we will be treating less wastewater, but it will save our residents money, too, because by lowering our costs of operations, we can pass those savings on by less increases in costs or more time between increases,” he said.

was 48 months to stem the excess. Swartzauber appealed for an additional two years to rectify the problem, and was granted an extra five months. The first step in the fixing process is to get a good base map. “We need to know what we do have underground,” municipal manager Matt Kline said. The cataloging of manholes, sump pumps and laterals comes from GPS satellite analysis. Swartzauber researched three different options, which range from approximately $75,000 through Underground Utility Services to $12,000 with a vocational program (similar to on-the-job training) with the Operator Training Committee of Ohio. An official proposal will be offered to council in April. “I’m ready to get going

Municipal manager Matt Kline noted at Tuesday’s council workshop that in the past, municipal managers have talked to residents, sent out letters, sent supervisor of streets and grounds Ben Herron out to fix it — but not in any particular order or set rule. “There’s been no consistency,” he said. Starting in the beginning of April, residents will

WEST MILTON have consistency. Once a complaint is received or a violation is noted, Kline, Herron or chief of police Garry Kimpel will go out and review the condition of the property. Then a red door hanger will be attached, listing the pertinent ordinances and giving the resident five days to respond. A letter will be mailed as well to ensure the resident gets the information. The resident does not necessarily have to fix the problem within the five days, just to let the city know what they’re going to do about the violation. Depending on the ordinance, village code gives anywhere from five to 30 days to rectify the situa-

tion. “We hope those (door hangers) will take care of 80 percent of the problems,” Kline said. If there is no response or no compliance from the resident, then an official letter will be drafted with the help of the law director. It will then be sent certified mail or delivered by a police officer. Copies of official letters will be included in council’s Friday packets. Council members also will be regularly updated in meetings as to the properties in violation, the owners’ names and the calendar timeline. Kline noted that if there is no action by the homeowner or if the action taken is unsatisfactory, all documentation goes to the law director for prosecution.

Thanks for always taking the time to care

Many Thanks! To Our Doctors: Each and Every One of Us Thanks You for All You Do

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TDN-NET.COM

Doctors want respect too Far beyond the white-coated glamour of TV’s primetime medical shows, the real nitty gritty of being a primary care doctor means dealing with pain and suffering, financial pressure, and the downright messiness of the human body. By presidential proclamation, March 30 is National Doctor’s Day, and in honor of the occasion, here are some observations from doctors and some ways to work together with them for better patient care. According to a March 2011 Consumers Reports survey of 660 primary care physicians, the biggest obstacle to patient care is inconsistency. When patients jump from doctor to doctor, their case histories don’t always follow them and the trail and connectivity of symptoms is lost. Seventy-six percent

Primary care doctors are often overworked, putting in long hours to meet their communities’ needs.

would likely lead to more reciprocity in that department. Calling your doctor by their title and last name and allowing them to address you by yours is a good start. Taking care to wash properly before an appointment involving a physical exam is another important gesture. Being prepared for an appointment is helpful too: bring a list of symptoms, medications, and questions toask.

In the context of providing the best care possible, other pet peeves that doctors expressed were patients not taking medications as directed, patients bringing in their own indiscriminate John J.

ANALYSIS

Candor gaffes add to campaign cynicism WASHINGTON (AP) — After a week like this, is it any wonder voters are cynical? Within five days of each other, both the president and the campaign of his leading Republican opponent have had to deal with their own “oops” moments of candor. President Barack Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russia’s president that his dealings with the country on missile defense may be different after the elections, raising the specter of a hidden agenda. A few days earlier, Mitt Romney’s top aide suggested his boss’s primary-season positions may shift in the fall campaign, altered as easily as erasing an Etch A Sketch. Both campaigns tried to explain away the significance of the statements on their own side, while exploiting the missteps on the other side The net result is just another reason for voters not to trust what they’re hearing from the presidential candidates, and to wonder how they’d truly govern in 2013 and beyond. Distrust among voters already was so strong that it’s hard to get worse. “The level of voter cynicism about the way politicking happens is pretty high, and so it takes a lot to meaningfully move the needle,” said pollster Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. He added that the latest episodes “will certainly play a reinforcing role” for doubting voters. Romney can at least take solace in the fact that most voters missed his aide’s Etch A Sketch comments altogether. Just 44 percent of voters said they’d heard about the remarks, according to Pew results released this week. And only 11 percent said it made them less likely to support Romney. But plenty of voters already had doubts about Romney’s convictions, and is GOP opponents have been more than happy to have a catchy new, red visual aid to wave around as they offer themselves as more solid conservatives. “I have not written my public policy pronouncements on an Etch A Sketch,” Rick Santorum promised while campaigning in next-to-vote Wisconsin. “They are written on my heart.” “I think having an Etch A Sketch as your campaign model raises every doubt about where we’re going,” said Newt Gingrich, campaigning in Louisiana before the weekend vote there. Romney has tried to reassure voters that “the issues I’m running on will be exactly the same” in the future consistently conservative all the way. But Jeffrey Goldfarb, a professor at the New School for Social Research in New York who has written a book about cynicism and politics, said the remarks by Romney’s aide so neatly fit with what voters already know about the candidate’s shifting stances that it’s likely “people will understand and accept or reject him, knowing that’s who he is.” “Moderate Republicans have been praying all along that Romney is not who he’s pretending to be during the primaries,” Goldfarb added. Obama, for his part, tried to laugh off his open-mic remark as simply a restatement of the obvious that it’s hard to get things done during a campaign year and he’ll have more flexibility once the elections are past. “This is not a matter of hiding the ball,” he insisted, after jokingly covering up his microphone. Republicans weren’t ready to make light of the matter. Romney said it was “very alarming for the president of the United States to suggest to Russia that he has a different agenda that he’s going to work out with the Russians after the elections.”

LETTERS Los Angeles Times on the House Republican proposed budget: For the second time in as many years, the House Republican leadership has put forward a deficit-cutting budget plan that’s more of a political statement than a governing blueprint. The proposed budget for fiscal 2013 promotes a long list of conservative policies that are only tangentially related to the federal fisc — for example, repealing new federal restrictions on Wall Street and ending the moratorium on offshore oil drilling. Even the proposals that are purely fiscal in nature rely on changes in law that Senate Democrats won’t support, such as repealing the

2010 healthcare reform law. But then, the annual budgets proposed by the White House are largely political documents too. Besides, the author of the Republican resolution, Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), has said it isn’t intended to become law. The whole point of the exercise, Ryan said, was to give voters a clear choice of paths forward in November. At some point, however, lawmakers will have to set the politicking aside and come up with a long-term fiscal plan that both parties can support. Ryan’s proposal is not that plan. Democrats are already focusing their protests on the big changes Ryan proposes for

Medicare, starting in about a decade. … More problematic are Ryan’s proposals to require states to pick up a growing share of the cost of Medicaid … which eventually would force painful trade-offs between honoring the increasing obligations to retirees (in the form of Social Security and Medicare benefits) and maintaining other federal programs. It’s also worth wondering why the House would spend time on a budget for 2013 when Congress enacted a 10-year spending plan last year that, unlike a budget resolution, has the force of law. As ambitious as his plan is, it seems fated to wind up in the same dustbin.

DOONESBURY

I think ink stinks, unless it’s on someone else Oh, what I won’t do for a best friend. Last week, my best friend Jani (who doesn’t have a cool nickname) and I attended the wonderful Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert at the Nutter Center. We sang, we drank overpriced beers and we also waded through the muck that consumed the arena during an untimely water main break. What are friends for, right? Well, after Thursday night’s fun, from prior experiences, I knew I’d need a vacation day to recuperate from the millions of stairs that were climbed, the singing and other antics Jani, her mom Jody and her best friend Brenda and I managed to get ourselves in the midst of. Well, knowing that I took last Friday off on vacation, Jani had a small favor to ask of me. Friday morning, we woke up, rolled out of bed and hopped in her car and headed for, of all places, the tattoo parlor (at least it wasn’t in someone’s house in Bradford). Jani being Jani, decided on a whim that her little green shamrock tattoo on her arm was no

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist longer cute enough to be part of her skin’s landscape. “I think I want a flower to cover it up,” she told me as we discussed the ink options on our way to the tattoo shop. “I’m not sure what kind of flower I want though.” “What do you mean ‘you think?” You don’t know what you want permanently embedded forever on your skin for life!” I said in a panic, despite it not being my tattoo. Well, we went inside the tattoo shop where “ink indecision” is accepted. Jani filled out all the legal paperwork and gave a run- down of what she was looking for her next piece. “You can just do whatever you think looks good,” she said, giving full reign to the artist. Now, talking with Josh for three hours, he

seemed like a great person — loves dogs, just bought a house and seemed pretty laid back. Yet, I don’t know how Jani could give full design rites to a man who had a mounted goat bust with a Marlboro hanging out of its mouth, hanging above his tattoo station. Yet, I stayed with Jani and kept her company while she got her tattoo. I make fun of tattoos. It’s sort of a gift I have. Like my twin sister’s tattoo. On Twin Meg’s 18th birthday, she had a small tomahawk etched in her ankle to represent our family’s Native American heritage. This was all fine and great, except I never miss a chance to remind her that our tribe was artistic basket weavers and spear throwers. No tomahawks. No wonder she doesn’t speak to me, right? Mainly I was there for insults, sarcastic quips and people watching all morning. My favorite was a tall 6’6 guy getting an extremely large tattoo of Tinkerbell on his arm. He wanted the fairy on his arm to be bigger. Bigger. Wow. Laughing at my lack of ink, Jani jokingly tried to convince me

to go under the gun someday. Here are my reasons for being the last person on Earth without a tat. 1. It’s permanent. I won’t forget my son’s name. There’s nothing on this planet that I really even love more than my own son. I have no thrilling hobbies. The only thing I collect is dust. 2. Unnecessary pain. Although my best friend barely winced during her three hour tour, I pass out getting blood drawn. I pass out at the sight of needles. Heck, watching blood roll slowly down her arm during this process almost had me sick. I don’t do well with sharp objects of any kind. 3. Repeat numbers 1 and 2. “Then you should get something pierced, Mel,” said Jani, laughing through the pain as Josh finished coloring in her large, pink, tropical flower. I laughed at my best friend’s persistence. Once again, what I won’t do for a friend. “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. If she ever got a tattoo, she’d get a bank barn on her ankle.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — In a case that generated blaring tabloid headlines in the U.K. press, a Florida teen is facing life in prison without parole for murdering two young British tourists who got lost and wandered into a housing project where their convicted killer lived. After an eight-day trial, a jury on Wednesday convicted 17-year-old Shawn Tyson of two counts of firstdegree murder in the shooting of James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, last April. The two men were on a three-week Sarasota holiday and spent an evening drinking when they got lost. Both were considered fun-loving world travelers by those who knew them. Their friends Paul Davis and Joe Hallett said the pair had a knack for making friends with people of all ages and races. Cooper had traveled to Australia and loved tennis; he was a tennis pro in his hometown and had played against countryman Andy Murray. Kouzaris played rugby, taught English in Taiwan and had traveled through Central America prior to visiting Sarasota. The men were in Florida

staying with Cooper’s family on a Gulf coast beach near Sarasota and on April 15, they dined and drank downtown. Authorities said both were drunk when they got lost and accidentally wandered just before 3 a.m. into the housing project where Tyson lived. Witnesses testified that Tyson told them he saw two “crackers” — a derogatory term for white people — walking through the neighborhood and that he intended to rob them. The tourists said they didn’t have any money and begged Tyson to let them go home. The men also told Tyson they were lost. “Since you ain’t got no money, then I have something for your ass,” Tyson recounted to a witness, then added that he shot the men several times. Hallett said friends and family were thankful for the support provided by Sarasota police and municipal officials. And Davis, who attended the trial, said although he was satisfied with the verdict, it rang hollow. “Ours is a life sentence with no chance of parole for a broken heart and a shattered soul,” Davis said.

Tyson is facing two first-degree murder charges. Both men also said they were “dissatisfied” with the lack of support or condolences from the United States government and President Barack Obama in particular. “We would like to publicly express our dissatisfaction at the lack of any public or private message of support or condolence,” Joe Hallett, a friend of the two victims said.

Tyson did not show emotion as Davis and Hallett spoke. Neither did Tyson’s mother, who was also present. Kouzaris was from Northampton and Cooper was from Hampton Lucy, Warwick. Since their deaths, friends and family have started a foundation to prevent youth violence in the United Kingdom.

Autism case rates are up Screening and better diagnosis cited ATLANTA (AP) — Autism cases are on the rise again, largely due to wider screening and better diagnosis, federal health officials said Thursday. The rate of U.S. cases of autism and related disorders rose to about 1 in 88 children. The previous estimate was 1 in 110. The new figure is from the latest in a series of studies that have been steadily increasing the government’s autism estimate. This new number means autism is nearly twice as common as officials said it was only five years ago, and likely affects roughly 1 million U.S. children and teens. Health officials attribute the increase largely to better recognition of cases, through wide screening and better diagnosis. But the search for the cause of autism is really only beginning, and officials acknowledge that other factors may be helping to drive up the numbers. “We’re not quite sure the reasons for the

Autism is diagnosed by making judgments about a child’s behavior; there are no blood or biologic tests. For decades, the diagnosis was given only to kids with severe language and social impairments and unusual, repetitious behaviors. The definition of autism has gradually expanded, and “autism” is now shorthand for a group of milder, related conditions, includ-

ing Asperger’s syndrome. Meanwhile, there’s been an explosion in autism-related treatment and services for children. As in the past, advocacy groups seized on the new numbers as further evidence that autism research and services should get greater emphasis. The new figures indicate “a public health emergency that demands immediate attention,” said Geraldine Dawson, chief science officer for the advocacy group Autism Speaks.

The CDC study released Thursday is considered the most comprehensive U.S. investigation of autism prevalence to date. Researcher gathered data from areas in 14 states — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin. They looked specifically at 8-year-old children because most autism is diagnosed by that age. They checked health and school records to see which children met the criteria for autism, even if they hadn’t been formally diagnosed. Then, the researchers calculated how common autism was in each place and overall. An earlier report based on 2002 findings estimated that about 1 in 150 children that age had autism or a related disorder such as Asperger’s. After seeing 2006 data, the figure was revised to about 1 in 110. The estimate released Thursday, based on 2008 data, is 1 in 88.

High court has options on health care law WASHINGTON (AP) — The arguments are done and the case has been submitted, as Chief Justice John Roberts says at the end of every Supreme Court argument. Now the justices will wrestle with what to do with President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. They have a range of options, from upholding the law to striking it down in its entirety. The court also could avoid deciding the law’s constitutionality at all, although that prospect seems remote after this week’s arguments. Here is a look at six potential outcomes, from the simpler to the more complicated possible rulings: ___ Q. What if the Supreme Court upholds the law and finds Congress was within its

authority to require most people to have health insurance or pay a penalty? A. A decision in favor of the law would end the legal fight and allow the administration to push forward with implementing its provisions over the next few years, including the insurance requirement, an expansion of Medicaid and a ban on private insurers’ denying coverage to people with pre-existing health problems. The political wrangling, however, probably would continue as Republican candidates for president and lesser offices are calling for repeal of the law. ___ Q. What if, on the other hand, the court strikes down the entire law? A. That would kill a costly

new federal entitlement before it has a chance to take root and develop a constituency of beneficiaries and supporters, namely more than 30 million people who are supposed to wind up with health insurance because of the law. In addition, some parts of the law already are in effect and would be rolled back. One popular provision allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26 has added nearly 2.5 million people to the coverage rolls, at no cost to taxpayers. But there’s no escaping America’s double-barreled problem of excruciatingly high health care costs and many uninsured people, more than 50 million according to the latest estimates. Whether it’s dealing with the federal deficit, retirement security for seniors or even the Pentagon budget, elected officials would still have to

Corps’ core values — honor, courage and commitment, and what the core values mean in guiding personal and professional conduct. Rogers and fellow recruits ended the training phase with The Crucible, a 54-hour, team evolution culminating in an emotional ceremony in which recruits are presented the Marine Corps Emblem, and addressed as “Marines” for the first time in their careers.

• Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Gage C. Baerlin Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Gage C. Baerlin, son of Kim A. and David L. Baerlin of Tipp City, is currently deployed. Baerlin along with fellow Sailors and Marines aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) hosted a material, maintenance and management assist (3MA) team, as they evaluated the ship’s 3M program. The 3MA team consists of senior enlisted members ranging from chief petty officers to master chief petty officers from Commander, Naval Air Force’s 3M training department. They are responsible for assessing Enterprise’s 3M program and training Sailors to be more successful at 3M. The purpose of this visit is to find out where the ship stands right now in their maintenance program. This serves as an indicator to tell the ship where and what they need to improve at, whether it’s procedure, a tag-out or something involving personal protective equipment. The 3MA team conducts multiple spot checks with various work-centers in an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the ship’s 3M program. The 3MA visit is designed to help raise that awareness and train Sailors how to improve the ship’s 3M practices.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS BULLY: This documentary is essential to see, whether you’re a parent or a kid, whether you’ve been on the giving or receiving end of such increasingly pervasive cruelty. But it’s also frustrating to watch, because while the stories included here are undeniably moving by nature, they’re not exactly told in the most artful way, rendering “Bully” far less emotionally impactful than it might have been. Director Lee Hirsch’s film grows repetitive and seems longer than its relatively brief running time. Tonally, it bounces with no rhyme or reason between a handful of students across the country who’ve suffered from bullying; technically, it feels a bit messy, with needless zooms and images that fade in and out of focus. Perhaps that was an intentional aesthetic choice. Either way, it’s distracting and headache-inducing. Still, if “Bully” does nothing more than provide the impetus for a dialogue, it achieves its purpose. Hirsch spent a year with about a half-dozen families with children who’ve been bullied at school — teased, abused, humiliated and ostracized — behavior which adults too often sweep aside with the cliche that kids will be kids. Not rated but contains some violence and disturbing situations involving kids and teens and some language. 94 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic GOON: For a movie about ragged, trash-talking thugs beating the crap out of each other on the ice, this is surprisingly sweet. It’s not a Judd Apatow production but it does feature his signature brand — a balance of raunchiness and heart that’s hard to strike — as well as some of his old friends. Seth Rogen’s frequent writing partner, Evan Goldberg, teams up this time with Jay Baruchel (“Undeclared,” ”Knocked Up”) for a story about a bar bouncer who becomes an unlikely minor-league hockey enforcer. “Goon” is as physical and fast-paced as the sport itself, as bloody as it is profane. The violence is shot and edited in stylized fashion, with an inspired soundtrack that ranges from Rush to Puccini, but the hits feel brutal and real. Baruchel, who also plays a supporting role here, is a Montreal native and a Canadiens nut, and that love for the sport radiates through every frame. Director Michael Dowse’s film is all formula, but it offers enough tweaks to make “Goon” feel unexpectedly fresh. That includes the performance from Seann William Scott, playing against type as the guileless, kind-hearted Doug Glatt, who can take a punch and, more importantly, deliver one. The everversatile Liev Schrieber is excellent as his rival. R for brutal violence, non-stop language, some strong sexual content and drug use. 91 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic MIRROR MIRROR: Julia Roberts chews up the scenery and spits it back out with great brio in her first truly villainous role as the evil Queen. And oh, what scenery it is. After all, this is a film from Tarsem Singh, director of such spectacular spectaculars as the trippy “The Cell” and last year’s dreary “Immortals.” Basically, the scenery IS the movie — and the costumes, of course, from the late Eiko Ishioka. They dominate every moment of this cheeky, heavily tweaked version of “Snow White,” but at least they’re a marvel to watch. They’d better be, because the dialogue and the action are, for the most part, rather dull and weirdly devoid of energy. This anachronistic, genre-hopping fairy tale begins with the beautiful, innocent Snow White (Lily Collins, daughter of Phil), who’s just turned 18, trapped in her bedroom in a castle perched high on a precipitous cliff. Her father, the King (Sean Bean), set off into the woods one day long ago and is presumed dead; her stepmother, the Queen, has taken over and tyrannically transformed a place that was once merry into a wasteland of poverty and strife. The Queen’s righthand man is the butt-kissing Brighton (Nathan Lane), who keeps trying to tell her she’s broke, but she won’t listen. Fortunately, into her kingdom comes the young, gorgeous, single and (more important) wealthy Prince Alcott (Armie Hammer in a perfect bit of casting). PG for some fantasy action and mild rude humor. 106 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

WRATH OF THE TITANS: There aren’t many pleasures in this 3-D sequel to the 2010 “Clash of the Titans” remake, but surely one is seeing Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson bounding around together as brothers, the gods Hades and Zeus. In long beards, the two veteran actors are suited to one another, like a divine ZZ Top. Camp is a part of the experience here, as both “Titans” films pull from an unlikely combination of traditions: ancient Greece and the 1980s. The clunky “Clash of the Titans” remade the 1981 original, bringing in boatloads of box office with a widely decried, slapped on conversion to 3-D. “Wrath,” directed by Jonathan Liebesman, has modestly improved upon the 3-D this time around and better manages a narrative flow of continuous fantasy action. But that’s also all there is: A charmless stream of battle and fight sequences that contorts mythic characters into blockbuster conventions. The demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington) again must battle to save the world, after his father Hades and brother Ares (Edgar Ramirez) conspire to free the dormant god Kronos and release hell. Rosamund Pike adds grace and Bill Nighy adds wryness, but for a movie with flying horses, it should be funnier. PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy violence and action. 99 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

BY JOYELL NEVINS Ohio Community Media jnevins@tcnewsnet.com “When you think of Titanic, do you think of the fear, the chaos, or do you think of the bravery, and the determination to survive? Because that’s what I think of.” So said Tom Heiser, great-greatgreat grandson of Philip Zenni, Titanic survivor and Dayton immigrant. At 22-years-old, Zenni was one of only 75 third class passenger males that survived the famous crash of the ‘unsinkable ship.’ Despite an officer of the ship pulling a gun on him when he tried to get in a lifeboat, Zenni jumped when his back was turned and hid on one of the lowering boats. He didn’t show himself until they asked for rowers and Molly Brown said “I will row.” Zenni brought his Lebanese wife over from France, and eventually they settled in Dayton. Heiser and a group of about 75 descendants of the Zenni clan will celebrate his fight for survival on April 14, the 100th anniversary of the sinking, by a special show of Titanic at La Comedia. The theatre didn’t actually discover the Dayton connection until Heiser called to make the large reservation . Then they had him come and speak at their opening performance. Titanic premiered March 7 and

blame for the inevitable sinking. Rather than rely on melodramatic death scenes, Titanic has come up with several clever staging elements to show the passing of certain characters. And when in the final scene, the survivors come out with their backs to the audience in Carpathia blankets (the ship that five hours later came to their rescue), and each one individually turns around and tells the audience what it was like watching 1,514 men, women and children die, they’ve got your heart in your throat. La Comedia completes the experience with an exhibit in the lobby of Titanic memorabilia from the personal collection of Mike Barr. The self-proclaimed “Titanic enthusiast” offered to share his stash with viewing audiences when he heard of La Comedia’s schedule. The display area in the lobby includes items such as collector plates, newspaper articles from the time it happened, and even treasures from the movie, like the “Heart of the Ocean” necklace. Join the epic journey through www.lacomedia.com or by calling (937) 746-4554 or 1-800-677-9505. Performances are Wednesday through Sunday and go until April 29.

goes through April 29. The show originally opened on Broadway in 1997 and in its two -year run, garnered Tony’s for Best Musical, Best Book, Best Original Score, Best Scenic Design and Best Orchestrations. At La Comedia, the “ship of dreams” is recreated on stage with a two-story set of compartments and platforms that turn, lower, and when the ship is sinking, tilt. Lighting is masterfully used to help tell the story of 2,224 passengers - only 710 of which survived. The first act is like a tableau of the many different people abroad the ship. Characters include a stoker, a telegrapher, an Irish lass, a card shark, a celebrity gossip monger, a widow heiress, and an effeminate composer. Costumes range from glittering dresses and elaborate hairdos to flannel jackets and half-on suspenders. Plus, meet the well-known names from history of Captain E.J. Smith, First Officer William Murdoch, fleet chairman J. Bruce Ismay and architect Thomas Andrews. The iceberg crash occurs at the very end of Act I. And there’s where the show draws you in. The song “The Blame” pits Smith, Ismay and Andrews (played by Dale Given, Chris Kramer and Paul Sandberg respectively) in an escalating vocal battle of who did it and who’s to

Bluegrass pioneer Earl Scruggs dies at age 88 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — It may be impossible to overstate the importance of bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs to American music. A pioneering banjo player who helped create modern country music, his sound is instantly recognizable and as intrinsically wrapped in the tapestry of the genre as Johnny Cash’s baritone or Hank Williams’ heartbreak. Scruggs died Wednesday morning at age 88 of natural causes. The legacy he helped build with bandleader Bill Monroe, guitarist Lester Flatt and the rest of the Blue Grass Boys was evident all around Nashville, where he died in an area hospital. His string-bending, mind-blowing way of picking helped transform a regional sound into a national passion. “It’s not just bluegrass; it’s American music,” bluegrass fan turned country star Dierks Bentley said. “There’s 17- or 18-year-old kids turning on today’s country music and hearing that banjo and they have no idea where that came from. That sound has probably always been there for them and they don’t realize someone invented that three-finger roll style of playing. You hear it everywhere.” Country music has tran-

Though he would eventually influence American culture in wide-ranging ways, Scruggs had no way of knowing this as he nervously prepared for his first show with Monroe. The 21-yearold wasn’t sure how his new picking style would go over. “I’d heard The Grand Ole Opry and there was tremendous excitement for me just

to be on The Grand Ole Opry,” Scruggs recalled during a 2010 interview at Ryman Auditorium, where that “big bang” moment occurred. “I just didn’t know if or how well I’d be accepted because there’d never been anybody to play banjo like me here. There was Stringbean and Grandpa Jones. Most of them were comedians.” There was nothing jokey about the way Scruggs attacked his “fancy fivestring banjo,” as Opry announcer George D. Hayes called it.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan’s days as a criminal defendant could be over — if she can behave herself. A judge on Thursday ended the long-running probation of the problem-prone actress in a 2007 drunken driving case after a string of violations, jail sentences and rehab stints. The 25-year-old actress will remain on informal probation for taking a necklace without permission last year, but will no longer have a probation officer or face travel restrictions and weekly shifts cleaning up at the morgue. Lohan, wearing a powder blue suit and black blouse, let out a sigh of relief as she left Judge Stephanie Sautner’s courtroom, possibly for the last time. “I just want to say thank you for being fair,” Lohan told the judge. “It’s really opened a lot of doors for me.” The judge said she wasn’t going to lecture the actress, but gave her some parting advice. “You need to live your life in a more mature way, stop the nightclubbing and focus on your work,” Sautner said. She reminded Lohan that she will remain on informal probation until May 2014 in the necklace case and could face up to 245 days in jail if she gets into trouble again. Still, the end of probation left Lohan looking relieved. She hugged her attorney, Shawn Holley, before leaving the courtroom, and was beaming by the time she walked past the rows of cameras waiting for her outside the courthouse near Los Angeles International Airport. Sautner’s regimen of morgue duty, therapy and monthly court dates helped Lohan weather the drunken driving case. The judge opened the hearing by calling the case “endless.” Lohan is now free to focus on her career for the first time since May 2010, when she missed a court appearance and was later jailed for failing to complete the terms of her sentence.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Stand up for your beliefs, but stop lying to your parents Dear Annie: I'm 20 and attending college near my parents' home. Despite what my Catholic family wants, I've been exploring other religions for the past five years and have decided that Judaism is the right road for me. I want to let my family in on this process, but I'm afraid they'll react badly and insist that my Jewish fiance is swaying my decision. My mother is starting to pick up on the fact that I haven't been going to church with her. She has informed me that she would be greatly insulted if I became Jewish, because all those years of putting me through Catholic school would be for naught. She recently hoped loudly that eventually I would "do the right thing and come back." I'm tired of lying when they ask where I go on Friday evenings. Help? — At the Crossroads Dear Crossroads: There is some validity to the claim that your fiance may be influencing your decision, but that is to be expected. Even if he isn't making a concerted effort to convert you, his preferences and beliefs would be persuasive on their own. We respect the fact that you have spent five years considering your decision, which indicates you've done a great deal of thinking. But we also recognize that most of this five-year period took place while you were a teenager and quite young for such a lifechanging decision. Regardless, please stop lying to your parents. If this is the path you have chosen, you must be able to stand up for your beliefs in the face of their disappointment. The sooner you start the more time they will have to reconcile themselves to the situation. You also can enlist the help of your rabbi. Dear Annie: I am writing this to help military families who are at home while their spouses are deployed. As a military spouse for 20 years, I am sometimes overwhelmed, exhausted and isolated. Deployments are lengthy, and training adds to the time we are separated. Life is challenging. We often encounter people who want to thank my husband for his service. I thank them for their support. But if you know of a military spouse who is alone, here are a few suggestions: Offer to babysit for free. Older children often miss out on evening events because younger siblings need to be in bed or it's too difficult to take them all to the event. Offer to drive the children to practices or games and supervise them. Include their children in your family outings, and give the military spouse an afternoon off. Take a meal to the family. A frozen casserole is a treat on a hectic day. Or treat them to a meal out. Anywhere. Offer to mow the lawn, wash the car, check under the hood or take a pet to the vet. Check on them when the weather is extreme. Send their spouse a letter. Call and ask what you can do to help. Please help the military by helping out military families. A little kindness goes a long way. — A Soldier's Spouse Anywhere Dear Soldier's Spouse: Thank you for reminding our readers of the simple things they can do to help out our servicemen and women and the families that stand behind them. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Old in Indiana," the 90year-old woman who wondered how to divide her possessions among her daughters and daughters-in-law. Several years before my lovely mother passed away, she had all her valuables appraised. Then, in her own handwriting, she wrote who got what next to each piece. I encourage everyone to do the same. It made a difficult time so much easier when we knew we were honoring her wishes. I consider it her final gift to us. — Missing Mom in Maryland 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

Which size is the right size for you? Dear Ladies: Are you wearing the right bra size? Do you know that a majority of women aren’t? Here are instructions to find your correct size: • For the band size, measure snugly around your rib cage, just under your bust. Take this number and add 5 — this is your band size. (If the number is odd, add 1 so you have an even number.) • For the cup size, while wearing the bra you wear the most, measure the fullest part of your bust. Take this measurement and compare it with the band-size measurement. If the number is 1 inch more than the band size, you

Hints from Heloise Columnist are an “A” cup. If it is 2 inches more, you are a “B” cup, 3 inches is a “C” cup and so on. The fit of a bra can vary greatly between manufacturers, so always remember to try on a new bra before you purchase it. If you have gained or lost weight or had a baby, you proba-

bly are not wearing the right size. — Heloise P.S.: You deserve at least one new good bra a year! BREAD FREEZE Dear Heloise: I love reading your hints in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald! Here is my hint: We travel a lot for sporting events, and to try to save money, we often pack our own food. The best idea I found was to freeze a loaf of bread before you travel, and it will “travel” very nicely without getting smashed. Thanks for all the hints! — Ashley in Omaha, Neb. TRAVEL HINT Dear Readers: Springtime

may mean a trip to the beach or lake! What are some important items to pack when you head out? Take a variety of cups, utensils and bowls in lots of shapes and sizes to use when building a sandcastle. Save up margarine tubs, potato-chip canisters and other small, lidded containers. These work well to hold shells. A bag for minor emergencies is good, too. Meat tenderizer can help with a jellyfish or bee sting. Pack plenty of sunscreen, adhesive strips and first-aid cream as well, and lots of drinking water, too. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, March 30, 2012 After suffering many disappointments in the past, exciting developments could now be in the offing for you in the year ahead. More than a few of last year’s losers could become big winners in the months that follow. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — People you’ll be dealing with will be just as anxious to protect their interests as you are to protect your own. Don’t expect any concessions or indulgences. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The longer you weigh something, the more you are likely to be affected by a case of paralysis. Besides, your first evaluation is apt to be most accurate anyway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Provided you are as good in the final stretches as you are during your opening gambit, your chances for acquisition look reasonably possible. Hopefully, your material motivation will be strong enough. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Being able to accurately assess matters will not be your problem today. Your headache is likely to come from a failure to act in accordance with your better judgment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Although you’ll be reasonably astute at judging commercial matters, you might not be quite as shrewd when doing business with others. As the saying goes: “Keep your powder dry.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t make promises to a friend requesting a favor unless you truly mean it. This person will be counting on you, and if you renege, hard feelings will come of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Someone who had no hand in what you accomplished lately might attempt to take the credit for all of your efforts. Set the record straight immediately, so she or he won’t try again. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you stand by without intervening, you will be judged by some bad opinions being expressed by your companions. When you’re not in accord with their views, make your position known. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Put the interests of your family or loved ones above all others, especially when you are placed in the awkward position of having to make a choice. No one should be more important than your kin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Just because certain morals or principles by which you abide are unpopular with some of your peers, it’s no reason to dilute or lower your standards just to fit in. Stay the course. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You might not receive everything to which you’re entitled if you fail to stand up for your rights. Think about it: If you’re timid, louder personalities will take over the spotlight. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When it comes to involvements where teamwork is essential, be sure to link up only with those who can pull their own weight. You’ll fail if you’re harnessed with weaklings. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, March 30, the 90th day of 2012. There are 276 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and seriously injured in an assassination attempt outside a Washington, D.C., hotel by John W. Hinckley Jr. Wounded along with Reagan were his press secretary, James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy

McCarthy, and District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty. On this date: • In 1135, the Jewish philosopher Maimonides was born in Cordoba in present-day Spain. • In 1822, Florida became a United States territory. • In 1867, U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward reached agreement with Russia to purchase the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million.

• In 1986, actor James Cagney died at his farm in Stanfordville, N.Y., at age 86. • Today’s Birthdays: Game show host Peter Marshall is 86. Actor Richard Dysart is 83. Actor John Astin is 82. Entertainer Rolf Harris (song: “Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport”) is 82. Actor-director Warren Beatty is 75. Rock musician Graeme Edge (The Moody Blues) is 71. Rock musician Eric Clapton is 67. Actor Justin Deas (TV: “Guiding Light”) is 64.

Some residents not warned about wildfire scribed burn that was stirred up by strong winds on Monday. Since then, 27 homes have been damaged or destroyed, an elderly couple was found dead at one of the homes and a woman whose house was destroyed remains missing. The fire has blackened about 6 square miles in the mostly rural area southwest of Denver’s populous suburbs. More than 500 firefighters were at the blaze Thursday, hoping to expand their containment line in case hot and windy weather returns this weekend as predicted. Crews cleared lines on about 15 percent of the fire’s 8.5-mile perimeter, but Kelley said that number

would be much higher by the end of the day Thursday. Two planes that drop fire retardant were diverted to a fire in South Dakota, but four Black Hawk helicopters from the Colorado Air National Guard were still dropping water on the blaze. The bodies of 77-year-old Sam Lamar Lucas and 76year-old Linda M. Lucas — known by some of her friends as Moaneti Lucas — were found at their home, which was destroyed by flames. Kelley said the couple received an evacuation call, but it was not clear when. It was not yet known whether the missing woman received an evacuation notice, Kelley said. Officials originally said

CONIFER, Colo. (AP) — Some residents in the path of a Colorado wildfire weren’t warned to flee because of a problem in an automated call system that relayed a mandatory evacuation order, authorities said Thursday. About 12 percent of the people who should have received the calls on Monday did not, Jefferson County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said. The culprit was probably a software glitch, she added. Kelley said the county had changed to a new automated call system in the past year. Officials were reviewing the system to see what went wrong. The fire was apparently sparked by a state-pre-

Helke’s slam helps Troy stay unbeaten Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

NEW CARLISLE — Devon Alexander showed that his opening day performance was no fluke. Nathan Helke showed why he’s dangerous. And the Troy Trojans are still undefeated. Alexander pitched his second complete game of the season, shutting down a quality Tecumseh lineup, and Helke hit his first two home runs of the season — one of them a grand

slam that put an exclamation point on Troy’s 8-2 victory Thursday, the Arrows’ first loss of the season. Alexander struck out six, walked one and gave up eight hits in the win. “He threw six pitches and faced four batters in the first inning, and they kept swinging at the first pitch in the second. After that, he took control,” Troy coach Ty Welker said of Alexander. “He pitched his game,

mixed pitches up well and controlled the strike zone. When you’ve got a guy pitching like that, it makes your offense more relaxed.” If that’s the case, Helke was as calm as could be. Helke hit a solo homer in the first inning, then had an RBI single in the top of the third. After the Arrows tied the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the third, the Trojans put it away. Troy manufactured a pair of runs to start the top of the fourth — including a suicide squeeze —

have made an unexpected run into the Final Four. Following a loss to Wisconsin the day after Matta’s outburst, Ohio State (31-7) has won eight of nine games and is playing its best basketball at just the right time. The young Buckeyes face Kansas in Saturday’s Final Four in the Big Easy and have found the confidence that was missing

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — John Groce took the Ohio Bobcats farther in the NCAA tournament than they had been in nearly 50 years. He will get a chance to bring that level of success back to a Big Ten team. Illinois introduced Groce as its new head coach Thursday, bringing him in to replace the fired Bruce Weber. “Obviously our family is excited to be a part once in a lifetime opportunity,” Groce said. The 40- GROCE year-old Groce has been at Ohio, a Mid-American Conference school, since 2008. He led the Bobcats to the NCAA tournament twice, including a run to the Sweet 16 this year that ended with an overtime loss to North Carolina. The Bobcats hadn’t been that far in the tourney since 1964. Groce was an assistant with Thad Matta at Butler, Xavier and Ohio State before taking over at

Breaking point Buckeyes turned corner after hitting rock bottom NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The season was spiraling away, the players didn’t seem to care and Thad Matta had had enough. So, as he watched his team stumble lackadaisically through practice on the eve of a big game, the Ohio State coach snapped. Stop, day’s over, head home, he told them. Not so fast, coach. Led by William Buford, the team’s lone senior, the Buckeyes pushed back, decided to finish

practice on their own. “I didn’t let us leave,” Buford said Thursday. “I told them we need to stay here and keep practicing, that’s all there was to do. There was no sense in going home. We needed to stay together and show coach that we really wanted to be here.” They sure did.

Yang, Wright battle for lead An opening-round 67 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship is just a bonus to Lindsey Wright. After fighting her way back from depression and anxiety to rejoin the LPGA Tour, she’s grateful for every good day on the links and every peaceful night away from golf. Wright began the first major of the year one stroke behind leader Amy Yang, who shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday. Wright even outplayed top-ranked Yani Tseng, whose 68 ended her streak of eight consecutive rounds with a lead. See Page 18.

Errors in 7th doom Trojans in 3-2 loss Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

NEW CARLISLE — Better days are ahead for the young Troy Trojans. First, though, the team has to learn how to deal with tough situations and close out games. Leading 2-0 in the final inning, Troy committed two errors in the bottom of the seventh, allowing Tecumseh to steal a 3-2 victory Thursday afternoon. Amber Smith gave up only five hits but was stuck with the loss.

“It’s a shame that she pitched as well as she did and comes away with the loss,” Troy coach Scott Herman said. “She pitched a great ballgame. But we had two fielding errors and one mental error in the seventh, and that was the difference.” Herman knows that instead of dwelling, though, the only thing to do is move forward “A young team is going to make those mistakes. Now it’s about how

we handle ourselves as a team and a community through this adversity,” he said. “Until we come together as a team and a community, we won’t have a winning program here. It’s a process, and that support has got to be there.” Smith also had an RBI for the Trojans, and Troy’s other run scored on an error forced by a Brittany Sowers shot. Troy managed only four hits in the game. “Our big thing right now is hitting,” Herman said. “We’re going to go back to the basics on every-

thing. We have to.” Troy hosts Franklin Monroe today. Troy .......................000 200 0 — 2 4 2 Tec..........................000 000 3 — 3 5 2 Smith and Lehmann. Simms and Collins. WP — Simms. LP — Smith. Records: Troy 2-3, Tecumseh 2-1.

Yang holds one-stroke lead

Chapman strong in starting role

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — An openinground 67 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship is just a bonus to Lindsey Wright. After fighting her way back from depression and anxiety to rejoin the LPGA Tour, she’s grateful for every good day on the links and every peaceful night away from golf. Wright began the first major of the year one stroke behind leader Amy Yang, who shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday. Wright even outplayed top-ranked Yani Tseng, whose 68 ended her streak of eight consecutive rounds with a lead. With five birdies on the back nine of the Dinah Shore Tournament Course, Wright took another positive step in her revitalization. After quitting golf for the final four months of last year, the 32-year-old Australian returned with a victory in the New Zealand Women’s Open last month, followed by this strong start at Mission Hills. “I’m really enjoying my golf,” Wright said. “It’s not a grind anymore. I’m actually enjoying it, the good and the bad.” Wright, a Pepperdine graduate who lives in Florida, has earned more than $2.2 million despite never winning an LPGA Tour event. She was outstanding in 2009, earning top-four finishes in two majors, but success didn’t provide the happiness she

Amy Yang hits from the 18th tee during the first round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Thursday in Rancho Mirage, Ca. expected. Wright said she felt “smothered” by the nonstop travel and pressure of a pro golfer’s life. She sometimes needed two bottles of red wine to cure her chronic insomnia, and her homesickness for Australia was accentuated by her depression, which she didn’t identify until she recognized her symptoms on a television program about the disease. “It wasn’t a great time, and I just couldn’t really get through it,” Wright said. “It’s hard to explain other than from a physical standpoint. People think, ‘Depression, oh, just get

over it.’ It really impacts you physically, and playing on this tour, grinding it out each week when you’re not sleeping and you can’t concentrate or focus, it just gets you down, and it’s a bit of a nightmare.” Wright went home to Albury, in New South Wales also the hometown of basketball star Lauren Jackson and worked in media and administration at various tournaments. She already had spent a couple of years thinking about walking away from golf entirely. “I started going home, and my best mates were having families,” Wright

said. “Everybody seemed to be growing up, and I was out here doing this which is nothing wrong. It’s a great lifestyle if you have a healthy balance. I haven’t really had a healthy balance. I’ve always pushed myself, and in retrospect, I should have taken four or five months off (in 2009), but I didn’t.” • Houston Open HUMBLE, Texas — Angel Cabrera and Carl Pettersson shot 7-under 65 in calm morning conditions to top the Houston Open leaderboard before firstround play was suspended because of a thunderstorm..

PHOENIX (AP) — Aroldis Chapman is looking more and more like a savvy pitcher and not just a hard thrower. It could earn him a spot in Cincinnati’s starting rotation. The Cuban left-hander didn’t walk a batter in his second straight start covering 10 innings and pitched five solid innings Thursday as the Reds defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3. Chapman scattered seven hits and struck out six, throwing 89 pitches. He also hit a run-scoring double in the fourth inning. “I think I can be in the rotation,” Chapman said through a translator. “I don’t know, that’s not my decision. We have to wait until the end of camp.” That also was the word from Reds manager Dusty Baker. “We haven’t decided yet who will be in the starting rotation. We’ll let you know. Quit asking, please,” Baker said. “Honestly, we have not decided yet. There’s more people involved here than just Chapman.” Chapman gave up his runs in the fourth inning, and escaped further trouble by leaving the bases loaded. “I feel really happy about the way things have gone in camp,” Chapman said. “It was my goal to

have fewer walks. I’m happy with my command.” Chapman, who has had his fastball clocked over 100 mph, said his speed is down at the moment. “I don’t know if I can throw harder than 94-96 right now,” he said. “Right now, I’m concentrating on my command. I try to be ahead in the count. Maybe later, the velocity, the speed will come back.” D’Backs 5, Indians 4 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Miquel Montero hit a three-run homer to carry the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-4 spring training win over a Cleveland Indians split squad on Thursday. Arizona starter Tyler Skaggs picked up the win, allowing two runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two. Jensen Lewis pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save. Rockies 6, Indians 3 GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Chris Perez pitched a perfect inning in his spring debut for Cleveland as the Colorado Rockies beat an Indians split squad 6-3 Thursday. Perez, out since February with a strained left oblique, said he feels better than when he was an AL All-Star last year. Perez revealed for the first time that he hurt his arm last spring.

taking care of that, they got a number of other little things taken care of, as well. Newton (1-2) was flawless in the field Thursday against Ponitz, Rob Maxwell threw a complete game as a result and the Indians got their first win with a 7-3 victory. “We weren’t looking at anything else but where we stood defensively,” Carnes said. “That was all we concentrated on. That was our goal. And I was proud of the kids for making that happen.” Maxwell struck out 10 and allowed three hits in the win.

Softball ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 issues the next day. Milton-Union scored four times in both the first and second innings, taking control early and putting away Oakwood in a 10-0 run-rule victory Thursday at home. “We played a lot better today. We played our game and didn’t play down to them,” Milton-Union coach Curt Schaefer said. “We came out hitting right off the bat. We didn’t do that yesterday.” And the Bulldogs didn’t stop. Monica Burke was 2 for 2 with three RBIs, Christine Heisey had two RBIs, Chloe Smith was 2 for 2 with a double and Ashley Smith hit a home run. Kayla Smith doubled and Andrea Fetters — who also pitched the first three innings for the win — and Jessica Booher were each 2 for 3. “Our pitching was good and the defense did its job,” Schaefer said. “We had our heads on straight today. When we do that, we’re going to be hard to beat.” Milton-Union travels to Troy Saturday for a trimatch with Triad. Oak................000 00 — 0 3 4 M-U ...........441 1x — 10 12 1

Miami East 7, Versailles 0 VERSAILLES — They may get all of their runs in bunches, but the Miami East Vikings can count on Paige Kiesewetter from start to finish. Kiesewetter pitched a three-hitter for Miami East (3-0), striking out 13 and walking two and leading the Vikings to a 7-0 victory over Versailles Thursday. “It was another great performance by Paige on the mound,” Miami East coach Brian Kadel said. “We played great defense behind her — and made some plays to get out of some jams.” With Miami East leading 2-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Versailles loaded the bases with one out — but Kiesewetter and the Viking defense worked their way out unscathed. And in the top of the seventh, the Vikings hammered out five runs to put the game away. “It’d be good to get that from the beginning,” Kadel said with a laugh. “We do have a tendency to do that, though. One person hits the ball hard and everyone else

falls in line after that.” Jeni Accurso was 3 for 4 with one RBI and a run scored. Christy Brown doubled and had two RBIs, while Kiesewetter helped herself by going 2 for 3 with two RBIs and a double. Paige Mullen was 2 for 4 with two runs scored, while Lindsay Brookhart was 1 for 4 with an RBI. Miami East travels to Lakota West Saturday for a tri-match with Cincinnati Turpin.

Fairborn 6, Piqua 0 FAIRBORN — Piqua couldn’t cash in in opportunities — and Fairborn was able to score four runs late for a 6-0 victory over the Indians Thursday. Piqua (0-4) was limited to singles by Alex Cox, Alanna Maier and Megan Wright. Piqua had only two errors and Cox hurled a nine-hitter. Piqua will play two games at home Saturday. The Indians play St. Ursula at 10 a.m. and Springfield Shawnee at 1 p.m.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 during an ugly stretch in February that had Matta wondering if his team could even get past the first round of the NCAA tournament. “There was a lot of finger-pointing going around. There was some adversity; we weren’t playing as well as we thought we should be,” point guard Aaron Craft said. “There were guys just not taking responsibility for their actions, and he tried to kick us out. I think we did a good job of fighting back. Since the last week of the season, it’s been a better team mind-set, and we’ve dealt with adversity a lot better.” The Buckeyes opened the season with some decent expectations, thanks to Jared Sullinger’s decision to return for his sophomore season. Still, they were young and inexperienced, with 11 underclassmen on the roster, leaving Matta unsure of where the team was headed. Ohio State was a smooth-shifting machine early in the season, playing with poise and efficiency while getting scoring from Sullinger and Buford and steady play from Craft at the point. Ohio State’s only losses were on the road to Kansas without Sullinger Indiana and Illinois, and it had moved up to third in the rankings. Then, the Buckeyes seemed to get discombobulated. Sullinger started complaining about the way officials were calling games and seemed bothered by

teams playing physical defense. The entire team became more selfish, sometimes not even knowing what play was being run or where to be on the court. In position to take a two-game lead in the Big Ten with six left on Feb. 11, the Buckeyes labored in a 58-48 loss to Michigan State, shooting 26 percent while scoring 29 points below their average to see a 39-game home winning streak end. The Buckeyes bounced back with a road win against Minnesota but followed with a 56-51 loss at Michigan and still seemed to be in a funk despite beating Illinois. Facing a huge game against Wisconsin the next day, one that could determine the Big Ten championship, the Buckeyes should have been focused and ready for an intense practice on Feb. 25. Instead, they labored through it, prompting their coach to blow his stack and tell them to go home. It was a big risk with a crucial game the next day, but Matta couldn’t sit around and watch his team fritter away what he thought could be a good season. “We’ve always tried to set the stage of how we practice is how we play at high speed, we don’t stop. It takes guys a little longer to get the intensity and what we’re trying to get,” Matta said. “And it took this team took a little while to understand.” The Buckeyes stumbled after Matta’s gamble, losing to Wisconsin 63-60 the next day. They rallied after that, though.

Year of the Big Dog Underdogs not allowed in this year’s Final Four NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Looking for those charming underdog stories? Go find the DVD from last year. This year’s Final Four brings together an ensemble of big-name schools, all saddled with their typically big-time issues a reminder that everything in college sports is not as pure as the NCAA and its “student-athletes” would like us to believe. In the national semifinals Saturday, Kentucky plays Louisville and Ohio State meets Kansas. All the schools have made headlines for a variety of off-the-court reasons over the last several months, including the proliferation of one-and-done players, stories about coaches in courtrooms and a handful of financial misdeeds involving recruits, players, coaches and even ticket managers. And so, while there are no little vs. big stories this year the way tiny Butler or overlooked VCU beat the odds last season to make it to basketball’s pinnacle we’re regaled with tall tales of redemption and resurrection: Teams and coaches that overcame their problems and got everyone thinking about basketball instead of the underside of a business driven by a $10.8 billion TV contract.

draft. What’s a coach to do? “I think they trust that when the year is out, they’re going to get the right information and be treated fairly,” Calipari said. “They don’t worry about it. Historically, we don’t convince kids to stay who should leave. They are going to get the information, and they know that. They are just going to play basketball.” It means freshman Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, both projected as high lottery picks, probably will be

gone after this season, and it’s not impossible to think the rest of the starting lineup all freshmen and sophomores could leave, as well. Calipari, who has had NCAA trouble at every step along his college headcoaching career, said this is a price worth paying for running a “players-first” program with players who worry about winning first, then reap the benefits when the NBA comes calling. While he applauds his team’s unselfishness, the NCAA insists it is toughening its academic standards and isn’t so concerned with the 15 players who do leave after one year, but rather the 5,500 who don’t. “I’ve made no secret of the fact I’d prefer to have a different model,” NCAA president Mark Emmert said. “Most people want a different model. It would be nice if that were the case, but I don’t think we should blow one-and-done out of proportion and suggest this is undermining the educational mission of the NCAA.” While the NCAA spins that issue, its rules police have spent plenty of time visiting Ohio State’s athletic department over the last several years. First, there was the firing of coach Jim O’Brien, who was found to have given money to a recruit, then later sued the school for wrongful termination because he got the ax before the NCAA had officially determined he’d done anything wrong.

dard for excellence among those Big Ten teams competing for championships, earning the right to do that?’ And by doing that you become a player on the national stage,” he said. “The answer was, we can.” Groce was reportedly targeted after Virginia Commonwealth’s Shaka Smart and Butler’s Brad Stevens passed up chances to take over at Illinois. He will be expected to restore some luster to the Illini, who have tailed off since losing the national title game in 2005 to North Carolina even as expectations remain high. Many will expect him to recruit in Chicago, the basketball hotbed that Weber never quite cracked. The city’s best players rarely chose Illinois Derrick Rose chose Memphis, Ohio State landed Evan Turner and Anthony Davis went to Kentucky. One of Groce’s Ohio players, D.J. Cooper, is from Chicago, and the coach is credited with helping bring Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., and Daequan Cook to Ohio

State. “There’s a lot of people in that city who care about those kids that we’re going have to work at to connect with,” Groce said of Chicago. “We have better connection there maybe than people think.” Groce played college basketball at tiny Taylor University, an NAIA Division II school in Upland, Ind., before making the rounds as an assistant coach and then landing the Ohio job. His last team was his best. The Bobcats finished this season 29-8. As 13 seed, Ohio knocked off Michigan and South Florida before taking North Carolina to overtime, finally losing to the top-seeded Tar Heels 7365. Ohio fans this week started an online petition to try to keep Groce, and school administrators said they were trying to raise money to increase his pay and keep him at Ohio. Groce is being paid $355,000 this year, according to the school, including bonuses.

Kentucky’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist reacts after the second half of an NCAA tournament South Regional semifinal against Indiana March 23 in Atlanta. “There are a lot of good players out there who are performing right now,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. For his part, Calipari is perfecting the art of luring a player for one, maybe two seasons, to contend for a championship, then saying a guilt-free goodbye. During his more candid moments, he’ll tell you he’s no fan of the rule that allows players to leave college after a single year. But it’s out of his hands. It’s the NBA that put in the rule stating players must be 19 before they can enter the

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Ohio. “He’s had great mentors,” athletic director Mike Thomas said. “He’s worked side by side with some of the best coaches in the country. And I can tell you, he has a lot of energy.” In four seasons at Ohio, Groce was 85-56 overall and 34-30 in MAC games. The competition will increase sharply in the Big Ten for Groce, who will take over an Illini team that finished the year 1715 after a 2-12 collapse at the end of the season. The free fall from the top of the Big Ten and a spot in the Top 25 to ninth place in the conference cost Weber his job after nine seasons in Champaign, and the Illini for the third time in five seasons were left out of the NCAA tournament; after a snub by the National Invitation Tournament, they missed the post season altogether. Groce promised to try to end the slide. “I thought to myself, ‘Illinois, why not? Why can’t we become the stan-

Stanford wins 2nd NIT title NEW YORK (AP) — Stanford’s young guards Chasson Randle and Aaron Bright each scored 15 points, and the Cardinal routed Minnesota 75-51 to win the NIT title Thursday night. Stanford forced two turnovers to open the second half to take a 10-point lead and stayed up by double figures the rest of the way. The Golden Gophers turned it over 22 times on the night. The third-seeded Cardinal (26-11) won their second NIT title, the first coming in 1991. The final minutes turned into a celebration of 3-pointers and fast-break layups for Stanford, players on the bench jumping up to cheer on nearly every possession. Both teams got off to a hot start, but then the Cardinal turned up the defensive pressure, and when the Golden Gophers (23-15) got good looks, they couldn’t make them. Sixth-seeded Minnesota missed 16 of its

last 19 shots in the first half. The Cardinal scored 12 straight points to go ahead 29-21 with 4 minutes left before the break. Bright had six points, including a fourpoint play, and an assist during the run, and Stanford drew three charges. Bright, a sophomore, had six assists and earned most outstanding player honors. Randle, a freshman, was 3 for 5 on 3-pointers. In front of a sparse crowd at Madison Square Garden, the atmosphere on the court had some sizzle. Minnesota’s Elliott Eliason and Stanford’s Dwight Powell had to be separated after getting tangled up on a held ball late in the first half, and the two exchanged words again in the second. Powell was later called for a contact technical foul when the Gophers’ Rodney Williams hit the floor face first after being whistled for fouling the Cardinal forward.
