City of Troy Planning and Zoning Manager Tim Davis describes detail in the Gentlemen of the Road Troy Stopover logo and where some of the ideas in the logo came from.

Mural discussed at council Artwork to depict Mumford & Sons’ Gentlemen of the Road Stopover logo BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@civitasmedia.com Plans to paint a mural to commemorate the upcoming Gentlemen of the Road Stopover was a major topic of discussion at the April 1 Troy City Council meeting. The painting of the banner and/or logo for the tour will be funded by a $7,000 grant from the Troy Foundation, TROY as part of a grant application submitted by Director of Public Service and Safety Patrick Titterington and Mayor Michael Beamish to assist with activities preceding or during the music tour, which features headlining act Mumford & Sons. “We’re dealing with a once-in-alifetime, truly unique event, and we wanted a way to memorialize that event for the future,” Titterington said in an interview Tuesday. During the audience comments portion of Monday’s meeting, resident Debra Stichter of Troy said she felt the planned mural is a poor use of grant money and a building facade. “It’s almost like we’re immature kids with rock stars. I think it’s inappropriate to memorialize this,” she said, adding that Elvis came to Troy and even his appearance wasn’t memorialized.

IN OTHER COUNCIL NEWS: • A loan was approved from the Downtown Building Repair Loan Program in the amount of $199,305 for P&C Ventures LLC to allow for the purchase and repair of 101 W. Franklin St., which is occupied by the health and fitness operation La Bella Viaggio. Another loan was approved for $74,624 to finance 90 percent of only the acquisition of the property at 114116 S. Market St. Four Sons Development has plans to lease the first floor of the property and eventually renovate the upper levels with private funds. • Council voted yes on two resolutions pertaining to three-year agreements with the F.O.P., Ohio Labor Council Inc. on wages, benefits and other conditions of employment for sergeants and captains. The terms are drafted for the years 2013-2015. Wages for bargaining unit employees of the police department also were set. • During the staff comments portion of council, Titterington stated that an electrical repair project on the Adams Street Bridge began Monday and would likely continue through Thursday. Electrical work and other construction will be performed during the day, allowing the bridge to be open at night. The North Market Street renovation program is also slated to begin today, with upcoming work planned for Foss Way south to approximately the railroad. Once school is out, work will begin south of the railroad to Staunton Road.

Titterington countered that the concert will be a huge money-making event for Troy, with the state projecting an economic impact of $12.6 million for the region. “I think it’s perfectly appropriate,” Titterington said Tuesday. “This will have such a positive impact on the business community downtown and the community as a whole. We are very thankful to the Troy Foundation for supporting it.” The mural, which will face North Cherry Street and be visible from the

Public Square, will be the same in design as the decal already in the windows of the former Shanesy building, located on South Market. The Masonic Temple gave its permission for the painting and will fund the facade work needed before the painting, which will be in place for several years. “We’re not going to paint over it deliberately in a few years — at least that’s the plan,” Titterington said. “But who knows what will happen.”

Concord township trustee Sue Campbell requested more detailed information be provided to the trustees about fire and medical response to township officials during a regular meeting on Tuesday. Campbell said she would like a more detailed report of response time from the city of Troy’s fire department. “For the money we pay, we should have a full, complete report,” Campbell said. Campbell said she’d like to see if there was any difference between mutual aid and “automatic aid.” Township trustee Bill Whidden said he would be in contact with city of Troy Fire Department Chief Chris Boehringer about more detailed reports for the township’s services. Concord Township road superintendent Neil Rhoades took a moment to acknowledge the accidental death of Miami County maintenance worker Jerry L. Jackson Jr. at a regular township trustees’ meeting Tuesday. Rhoades said he spoke to his employees about the importance of safety while on the job after Jackson’s death on March 19. Jackson was killed while he was cutting trees on Troy-Sidney Road, near Troy, when a limb shifted and knocked him off balance. According to reports, as Jackson fell, his head struck the pavement of the road and died instantly. Jackson was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident but the helmet was knocked off during the fall. Rhoades said he reiterated safety procedures and its importance to his crew after Jackson’s death. “We know that there are some jobs that should be left up to professionals and Neil is very good about knowing what he and his crew is capable of — this was just a tragic accident,” said Whidden. Rhoades said he appreciated the township sending flowers to Jackson’s family and trustee Sue Campbell said she attended the viewing. Rhoades said the ash tree in the township’s right of way was removed on

and he subsequently confessed to the crime. Plantz is out on an OR bond. His next hearing date is April 11. A felony of the fourth degree carries a sentence of six to 18 months jail time and up to a $5,000 fine. • See TRUSTEES on Page 2

N. Korea vows to restart shuttered reactor SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said it will restart its long-shuttered plutonium reactor and increase production of nuclear weapons material, in what outsiders see as its latest attempt to extract U.S. concessions by raising fears of war. A spokesman for the North’s General Department of Atomic Energy said scientists will quickly begin “readjusting and restarting” the facilities at its main Nyongbyon nuclear complex, including the plutonium reactor and a uranium enrichment plant. Both could produce fuel for nuclear weapons. The reactor began operations in 1986 but was shut down as part of international nuclear disarmament talks in 2007 that have since stalled. North Korea said Tuesday that work to restart the facilities would begin “without delay.” Experts estimate reactivating the reactor could take anywhere from three months to a year. The nuclear vows and a rising tide of threats in recent weeks are seen as efforts by the North to force disarmament-for-aid talks with Washington and to increase domestic loyalty to young North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by portraying him as a powerful military commander. Tuesday’s announcement underscores concerns about North Korea’s timetable for building a nuclear-tipped missile that can reach the United States, although it is still believed to be years away from developing that technology. The U.S. called for North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions, saying it would be “extremely alarming” if Pyongyang follows through on a vow to restart its plutonium reactor. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the U.S. is taking steps to ensure it

A South Korean Marine stands on a K-55 self-propelled howitzer during a military exercise against possible attacks by North Korea near the border village of Panmunjom in Paju, South Korea, early today. has the capacity to defend itself and its allies, and that President Barack Obama is being updated regularly. “The entire national security team is focused on it,” Carney said. But Carney noted that a string of threats from North Korea toward the U.S. and South Korea so far have not been backed up by action, calling the threats part of a counterproductive pattern. He called on Russia and China, two countries he said have influence on North Korea, to use that influence to persuade the North to change course. China, North Korea’s only major economic and diplomatic supporter, expressed unusual disappointment with its ally. “We noticed North Korea’s statement, which we think is regrettable,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said. South Korea also called it “highly regrettable.” Yukiya Amano, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the North’s decision “is another step which is deeply troubling for us and the world.” U.N. Secretary-General

Ban Ki-moon said Tuesday that North Korea appears to be “on a collision course with the international community.” Speaking in Andorra, the former South Korean foreign minister said the crisis has gone too far and that international negotiations are urgently needed. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called North Korea’s recent rhetoric “provocative, dangerous and reckless.” He also vowed that the United States would defend itself and its allies South Korea and Japan from North Korean threats. “We have heard an extraordinary amount of unacceptable rhetoric from the North Korean government in the last few days,” Kerry told reporters at a joint news conference with visiting South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se. North Korea is under a U.N. arms embargo over its nuclear program. On Tuesday, it was one of three nations voting against a U.N. treaty regulating international arms trade. Also voting “no” were Iran and Syria.

Hwang Jihwan, a North Korea expert at the University of Seoul, said the North “is keeping tension and crisis alive to raise stakes ahead of possible future talks with the United States.” “North Korea is asking the world, ‘What are you going to do about this?’” he said. The unidentified North Korean atomic spokesman said the measure is meant to resolve the country’s acute electricity shortage but is also for “bolstering up the nuclear armed force both in quality and quantity,” according to a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. The statement suggests the North will do more to produce highly enriched uranium. The technology needed to make highly enriched uranium bombs is much easier to hide than huge plutonium facilities. North Korea previously insisted that its uranium enrichment was for producing electricity meaning lowenriched uranium. Kim Jin Moo, a North Korea expert at the Korea Institute for Defense

Rhoades recommended participating in the Miami County Engineer’s Office’s road striping program and requested quotes for Boone Drive, Brookview and Vista Ridge.

Bayliff said that the planned alterations — narrowing the streets, replacing the street lights, and adding sidewalk pavers — do not accurately represent Tipp City history. “We are going to do ourselves a disservice by creating a generic commercial area in our historic district,” Bayliff said. One business owner spoke in favor of the current plan, saying that narrower driving lanes will force drivers to slow down and appreciate the historic buildings and shops. “The town is the buildings and the people inside them and that’s not changing,” Tara Dixon Engel, the director of the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, said. Dixon Engel said she feels that the streetscape plan maintains

the history of Tipp City, while enhancing and updating the downtown area. The citizens’ comments mainly concerned the street lights, sidewalk pavers, and the narrowing of Main Street. Members of the group that protested the removal of the trees on Main Street did not speak at the meeting. Chief Davidson to retire Chief Tom Police Davidson announced Monday night that he is retiring after 22 years of service to Tipp City. Davidson has been battling cancer for several years. “This has been the best experience of my life, and I don’t say that with any exaggeration,” Davidson said. “I am proud to have served with the men and women of the Tipp City Police Department.” He was honored with a resolution commending him for his outstanding service and received a standing ovation. Chief Davidson joined the Tipp City Police Department in 1990 after 20 years with

His last day will be April 30. In other business, Council approved the $600,000 purchase of 301 N. Sixth St. as the future location of an electric utility center. For several years, the city has been considering constructing a new facility or rehabiliting an existing structure to house a new electric utility center. City officials ultimately determined that the purchase and renovation of this property was the most efficient and cost effective option. Council also approved an ordinance which appropriated $160,000 in the Electric Fund for the replacement of the traffic signal at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets as part of the Streetscape project. The signal was under study for removal and council decided at their last meeting to replace it.

Analyses in South Korea, said that by announcing it is “readjusting” all nuclear facilities, including the uranium enrichment plant, North Korea “is blackmailing the international community by suggesting that it will now produce weapons-grade, highly enriched uranium.” The North’s plutonium reactor produces spent fuel rods laced with plutonium and is the core of Nyongbyon. It was disabled under a 2007 deal made at now-dormant aid-fordisarmament negotiations involving the North, the U.S., South Korea, Japan, China and Russia. In 2008, North Korea destroyed the cooling tower at Nyongbyon in a show of commitment, but the deal later stalled after the North balked at allowing intensive international factchecking of its past nuclear activities. North Korea pulled out of the talks after condemnation of its longrange rocket launch in April 2009. North Korea “is making it clear that its nuclear arms program is the essence of its national security and that it’s not negotiable,” said Sohn Yong-woo, a professor at the Graduate School of National Defense Strategy of Hannam University in South Korea. North Korea conducted its third nuclear test in February, prompting a new round of U.N. sanctions that have infuriated its leaders. It has since declared that the armistice ending the Korean War in 1953 is void, shut down key military phone and fax hotlines with Seoul, threatened to launch nuclear and rocket strikes on the U.S. mainland and its allies and, most recently, declared at a high-level government assembly that making nuclear arms and developing a stronger economy are the nation’s top priorities.

Treaty to regulate global arms trade OK’d Enforcement will be left up to nations that ratify agreement ordinary people who care about protecting human rights can fight back to stop the gun lobby dead in its tracks, helping to save countless lives,” said Frank Jannuzi, deputy executive director of Amnesty International USA. “The voices of reason triumphed over skeptics, treaty opponents and dealers in death to establish a revolutionary treaty that constitutes a major step toward keeping assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons out of the hands of despots and warlords who use them to kill and maim civilians, recruit child soldiers and commit other serious abuses.” What impact the treaty will actually have remains to be seen. It will take effect 90 days after 50 countries ratify it, and a lot will depend on which ones ratify and which ones don’t, and how stringently it is implemented. As for its chances of being ratified by the U.S., the powerful National Rifle Association has vehemently opposed it, and it is likely to face stiff resistance from conservatives in the Senate, where it needs twothirds to win ratification. Secretary of State John Kerry called it a “strong, effective and implementable” treaty and stressed that it applies only to international deals and “reaffirms the sovereign right of any state to regulate arms within its territory.” The treaty prohibits countries that ratify it from exporting conventional weapons if they violate arms embargoes, or if they promote acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, or if they could be used in attacks against civilians or schools and hospitals. Countries must also evaluate whether the weapons would be

used by terrorists or organized crime or would undermine peace and security. Countries must take measures to prevent the weapons from being diverted to the black market. The treaty covers battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons. Enforcement is left up to the nations that ratify it. The pact requires these countries to assist each other in investigating and prosecuting violations. “The treaty is a noble gesture that may over time acquire the kind of precedence or enforcement that would give it meaning,” said Anthony Cordesman, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. “At this point it is more a declaration of principles and the arms trade is an area where many people don’t have principles.” Supporters of the treaty agreed that it is just a first step and that it must be followed by a campaign for implementation. “The hard work starts now,” said Juan Manuel Gomez Robledo, Mexico’s vice minister for multilateral affairs. Australian Ambassador Peter Woolcott, who chaired the negotiations, said the U.S. “played a hugely constructive role” in pushing the treaty through the United Nations. “Obviously, as the world’s largest exporter, it would be unfortunate for the Arms Trade Treaty if the U.S. didn’t sign it, but obviously it’s a sovereign decision for them,” he said. Hopes for adoption of the treaty by consensus instead of a vote were dashed last July when the U.S. said it needed more time

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Israeli military says its warplanes have struck targets in the Gaza Strip in response to rocket fire toward southern Israel. The air strikes early Wednesday morning were the first launched by Israel since an informal cease-fire in November ended eight days of cross-border fighting, the bloodiest between Israel and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip in four years. An Israeli military statement said its planes targeted “two extensive terror sites” with “accurate hits.” Palestinian officials say no one was hurt in the air strikes and no damage was reported in northern Gaza. The air raids followed the third successful rocket

Simoes said the dead were five men and two women. He said it was unclear how many were aboard and whether any of the passengers were children.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first international treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade Tuesday, after a more than decade-long campaign to keep weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists, warlords, organized crime figures and human rights violators. Loud cheers erupted in the assembly chamber as the electronic board flashed the final vote: 154 in favor, 3 against and 23 abstentions. “This is a victory for the world’s people,” U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon said. “The Arms Trade Treaty will make it more difficult for deadly weapons to be diverted into the illicit market. … It will be a powerful new tool in our efforts to prevent grave human rights abuses or violations of international humanitarian law.” The United States, the world’s biggest arms exporter, voted yes. Iran, North Korea and Syria all facing arms embargoes cast the only no votes. They argued, among other things, that the agreement favors major arms suppliers like the U.S. over importers that need weapons for self-defense. Russia and China, which are also major arms exporters, abstained along with India and Indonesia, while nuclear-armed Pakistan voted in favor. Many Arab countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Qatar, abstained, while Lebanon voted yes. Never before has there been a treaty regulating the global arms trade, which is estimated to be worth $60 billion today and which Amnesty International predicts will exceed $100 billion in the next four years. “Today’s victory shows that

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

AS I SEE IT

There are no answers to our gun control problem BY CONNOR SUPER Edison State Community College Student The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution clearly states that, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This statement undoubtedly gives all U.S. citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Granted, this means people have the right to own personal guns for defense or whatever necessary purpose they may be needed for. Also stated in the Second Amendment is, “this shall not be infringed.” Thus, this right shall not be rendered or taken away from United States citizens. It is understood based on this principle that people should have the right to keep and bear arms. However, over the course of several decades, gun violence has become a relevant national issue, as well as a significant controversy throughout North America. Long ago, guns were used in the hunting culture to put food on the table, to provide protection for families, as well as to tame the Western frontier. However, nowadays, that is not the case. Guns are finding themselves in the control of the wrong people, including children, criminals and even the mentally ill; the previously mentioned sometimes have a single intent in mind — harming others. For instance, school shootings and senseless, tragic, gun-related deaths occur seemingly on a daily basis in our society. These catastrophic events happen much too often, and they are deteriorating our society like a thousand termites sawing away at a piece of wood. There are many gun laws and restrictions that are in force today, but the current laws just aren’t strong enough. Many people may think taking guns away completely will solve the national controversy of gun violence, but this is not true. Taking guns away from general members of society would not stop the “bad” people from getting guns. They would obtain them illegally, like a drug fiend searching out their next fix, ultimately causing even more problems. Also, the people with the intent to harm will always find a way to shimmy around the rules and regulations that are in place. The lawabiding citizens would give their guns up and the criminals would find a way to get their hands on them. These people would then do what they know: kill. Also, banning guns altogether would not do anything to solve our national problem, because people who already own guns still would possess them after the banishment. Gun violence has no real solution or answer behind it. There is nothing that we, as a society, can do to eliminate gun violence. Unfortunately, the newly coined term “gun violence” is just something that we are becoming more familiar with every day. The “bad” people will always find a way to get their hands on guns, no matter the situation. Today, the world is simply becoming an enormous war zone and guns are not going to vanish, no matter how strict gun regulations may be or become. While in agreement with the Second Amendment and the protection of personal rights, there is no need in day-to-day life for guns. If guns are to remain in our society, it should be for recreational reasons, such as hunting. The public should not be able to access or obtain semi-automatic or automatic machine guns. The legislators who are responsible for our nation’s laws should revisit the current gun laws, and make them even more strict than they are currently. This might not eliminate our nation’s gun violence altogether, but it would most definitely reduce gun-related deaths, as well as the crime rate in America. Gun violence in the U.S. has become an epidemic, a widespread notion that citizens of the United States are forced to live with on a day-to-day basis.

EDITORIAL RONDUP The Jerusalem Post on U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel: U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel is being billed by Washington insiders as primarily a “charm offensive.” They have suggested that the American leader wants to communicate directly with the Israeli people, voicing his strong support for Israel and its security. Obama will no doubt praise the U.S.-funded Iron Dome system, which operated so successfully during Operation Pillar of Defense last November. It is a powerful symbol of the “unbreakable alliance” that both Israel and the U.S. want to convey during the president’s visit. The White House has made it clear that Obama will not be bringing with him grandiose

plans to jump-start the longstalled peace process with the Palestinians. This represents a change in Washington’s approach to a historic presidential visit to the Jewish state. In Obama’s first term, the assessment seemed to be that it made no sense to come to Jerusalem as long as negotiations with the Palestinians were stalled and the U.S. president could have no tangible diplomatic achievements to show the American people. As the leader of the Jewish people, who have been threatened with destruction by Iran’s leaders, Netanyahu wants assurances that the U.S. will launch a military strike if necessary to prevent a nucleararmed Iran. The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg quoted “several

sources” in Amman and Tel Aviv saying that Israeli drones were monitoring the JordanSyria border on Jordan’s behalf and that military and intelligence officials from the two countries are in constant contact, planning for the inevitable chaos post-Bashar Assad. Israel is also concerned that a large amount of arms — including huge caches of chemical and biological weapons — could fall into the wrong hands. … There are, however, a number of substantive issues — including Iran and Syria — on the agenda that need to be addressed during Obama’s meetings in Jerusalem and Amman. And this should make the U.S president’s visit to the region more than just a “charm offensive.”

My friend didn’t have a sporting chance vs. game Last week a friend of mine was lamenting that her boyfriend had just asked her — via text — if they could postpone their anniversary plans because he wanted to watch an OSU basketball game on TV. Would she mind staying in to watch it instead? “Ugh!” she moaned to a group of us girls. “How do I respond to this? He can’t be serious.” “No way!” I said. “He’s such a jokester. I’m sure he wants to surprise you with something amazing.” “I bet he’ll propose!” squealed another. “Just play along with it and act dumb!” “Yeah, you’re right, guys,” the girlfriend reasoned. “Remember Valentine’s Day? He had said it was such a dumb lame holiday, and then, sure enough, he made me breakfast and later showed up with a huge bouquet of roses at work. He even took me to dinner too! Gosh he’s amazing.” They totally ended up watching the OSU game on the couch. (I should probably mention that the couple doesn’t live around here anymore — they were in town visiting over spring break. I’d never throw a guy under the bus like that if he lived nearby. Well … not

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist usually.) Anyway, after she told me about the night, I rolled my eyes and said, “Boys will be boys.” But then I started thinking … I know several diehard female sports fans who have bailed on plans precisely to sit at home to watch a ball be thrown across a field, court or sky. Really?! For instance, another friend drove home to Cincinnati for Easter and was planning to meet up with me Monday on her way back to Columbus. But then a couple days before, she told me she was going to drive home earlier so she could get nestled in front of the TV to watch the Cincinnati Reds game. Alrighty then. (I have to admit that our little girlie date wouldn’t have panned out anyway

because of my work schedule. But seriously, who would choose a baseball game over spending time with moi? Inconceivable.) I guess I just have a hard time relating to this obsession with sports because I don’t have any comparable obsession. Shopping, Zumba, running, catching some rays, reading about Ryan Gosling … yeah, can’t think of anything. Now don’t get me wrong — I like to have my “me time” and will flake on plans if I feel my time is jeopardized. I’ll also ignore you if you interrupt one of my favorite romantic comedies to chit chat. But the thing about sports is it dominates every aspect of life in a way that’s completely different from anything else. There’s a sense of pride, urgency and camaraderie — you MUST watch it live on that big screen TV while chowing down on chicken wings. You MUST shout at the players through the TV. C’mon, you know how to coach those players better than everyone else. Keep yelling! And make sure you ignore anyone who belittles your love of sports. Ahem, me. Ironically, I think I’m the only one of my friends and family who

is basically (actually, entirely) clueless about sports. I do know a little about basketball, thanks to going to UD games with my dad and brother when I was younger. But, as they will tell you, I rarely went to games, except when I had nothing to do and my choice was a) homework or b) attend a UD game and count down the minutes till the halftime show and a trip to buy popcorn. I also know a little about baseball. Such as, a home run equals a point. As a side note, I have two cool Reds shirts, too. Not because I like the Reds per se, but because I look good in red. I’m only kind of kidding. So this summer you may find me lounging at a Reds game, working on a tan and making frequent trips to the concession stand. I guarantee you that I under no circumstances pulled any strings to go, but in the past I’ve always had fun. The game I went to last year was definitely one of the highlights of my summer. It’s such a quintessential pastime, after all. And with that said … play ball!

U.N. nuke chief concerned about Iran VIENNA (AP) — The U.N’s top nuclear official expressed concern Tuesday that Iran may be secretly continuing work on nuclear weapons while his agency is tied up in protracted negotiations with the country on restarting an investigation into past suspected research and development of such arms. The comments by International Atomic Energy Agency head Yukiya Amano are bound to resonate with Israel and Western nations, which assert Iran is seeking nuclear weapons capacity even though it insists its atomic activities are transparent and peaceful. At the same time, critics question the objectivity of the intelligence such assessments are based on, noting most comes from the United States and Israel, Iran’s greatest detractors. They say that if the information cannot be vetted publicly it should at least be shared with Tehran so that the Islamic Republic can see the evidence used to cast suspicion upon it. Iran denies any secret weapons work it says its nuclear program is primarily for medical and energy purposes and skeptics note that even the United States said in 2007 that Tehran had suspended all meaningful weapons development by 2003. Since then, however, IAEA reports have listed suspicions

“We do not know for sure, but we have information indicating that Iran was engaged in activities relevant to the development of nuclear explosive devices in the past and now,” he told The Associated Press in what appeared to be his most specific assertion that such activities are continuing into the present. While not going into detail ,

of tests and experiments past that date. Britain, France, Germany and Israel have also said that such work continued beyond 2003. While the United States has not publicly revised its 2007 intelligence assessment, its information remains a mainstay of IAEA assessments such as the one made by Amano on Tuesday.

negotiating session in February. Still, any progress at the talks this week will likely be no more than incremental, and as the negotiations drag on the IAEA’s attempts to restart a probe into the suspected secret weapons work is on hold. Like others previously, the last meeting between Iran and the IAEA on re-launching the investigation ended inconclusively after more than a year of occasional talks on the issue, with agency officials saying a pause was needed. Amano on Tuesday said his agency was now “ready to continue … the dialogue” with Iran, even without expectations of progress. Iran’s alleged secret weapons work and its expanding uranium enrichment program are the two greatest issues of concern about Tehran’s nuclear activities. On Tuesday, Amano said there was “some possibility” that Iran may already be constructing additional sites to enrich uranium at locations unknown to the agency, based on an announcement by Tehran that they plan to build around 10 such additional facilities. But he said the agency does not have specifics about whether work on such installations has actually started, with Iran not answering requests for “further information in this regard.”

In this April, 9, 2007, file photo, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks at a ceremony in Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, south of capital Tehran, Iran.

Amano said the IAEA’s information was “cross checked … so we have concerns.” Iran has dismissed the intelligence seen by the agency as faked and has demanded access to it. On Tuesday, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran’s chief IAEA delegate, cut short a telephone call from the AP seeking reaction. Asked to comment on Amano’s remarks, nuclear scientist Yousaf Butt of the Monterey Institute of International Studies, who frequently questions how seriously the IAEA’s information should be taken without outside scrutiny, said Tehran “should be presented with any such evidence so it can respond to it.” Amano spoke three days ahead of a renewed round of nuclear talks between Iran and six world powers in Kazakhstan that are meant to reconcile the two sides’ widely differing demands. Iran wants an end to punishing international sanctions imposed for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, while the international community is calling on Tehran to curb parts of its enrichment program most suited to providing material for nuclear warheads. Both sides were cautiously hopeful that differences were slightly narrowed as they emerged from the previous

Try to come up with a visitation schedule that works for each set of parents

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

Dear Annie: I have been dating my boyfriend for four years. We both have children from our previous relationships and share custody with our exes. Until recently, we had our kids on the same weekends. Then my boyfriend's ex decided that her children cannot be here when my 11-year-old son is staying over. Because my son is the oldest, he tends to be blamed whenever the kids do inappropriate things. But kids pick up all kinds of things in school, from other kids and from other adults. I feel my son is being blamed unfairly. My boyfriend's ex doesn't know me or my children. I have heard her children say and do things they should not be allowed to do, but I seem to be the only one who notices. My boyfriend makes excuses for their behavior, but if my children misbehave, he is quick to let me know that I need to discipline them. The major problem is his 9year-old daughter, who wants to be the center of attention when she is around her dad. She becomes upset, demanding and controlling, and she recently began sassing me. I love his children and take care of them as if they were my own. I understand the need for them to have individual time with their parents, but I'd also like them to learn how to get along with each other. I blame my boyfriend for letting his ex control the situation. Am I overreacting? — Confused and a Little Sad Dear Confused: You are on shaky ground when it comes to telling your boyfriend and his ex how to arrange their visitation schedule. It is not unreasonable for the mother to prefer that her kids have time with Dad without your children around. We think you should try to make friends with the ex so you can work on getting the kids together for holidays and special occasions. They will be less belligerent toward one another (and toward you) if they don't have to compete for their father's attention at every visit. Dear Annie: I am an administrative assistant and am proud of the level of professionalism I have maintained in the office. However, I feel like I am about to go out of my mind. I share an office with a very rude woman. I do my best to smooth out her rough spots with customers, but she has one horrible habit I cannot fix. She constantly chews gum with her mouth open and looks like a cow. I find it amazing that our administrators, who deal with her daily, have never mentioned this to her. I purposely turn my music up a bit louder to drown out the sound. She and I do not have a good relationship, so I cannot think of a way to mention this without upsetting her. The stress it causes me is giving me a headache. It is gross and unprofessional. Any suggestions? — Pro in Pennsylvania Dear Pro: You have nothing to lose by asking her nicely to please not chew gum when dealing with the customers, because it is unprofessional, as well as unappealing to see and hear. You also could talk to human resources or a supervisor about instituting a behavior and dress code to cover such things. It is often easier than singling out one particular employee. Dear Annie: I'd like to respond to "N.Y., N.Y.," the 34year-old who found it difficult to visit his ailing grandparents. When our parents' health deteriorated, it wasn't pleasant to visit, but we kept in mind all the times they took care of us when we were babies, cleaning soiled diapers and sitting up all night when we were sick. Recently, my uncle suffered a stroke. At our first visit, he didn't recognize us. For the next visit, we brought his favorite music and read stories from Reader's Digest. I know those grandparents would enjoy some company. — MD, Calif. 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. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

‘Mothers’ found floating in vinegar are not harmful Dear Readers: Guess what I found lurking in my pantry? A bottle of natural rice vinegar with algaelike growth floating in it. The manufacturer was very helpful with answers to my questions. First and most important: It’s NOT harmful! The feathery looking blobs floating around are called “mothers,” which the manufacturer says are harmless, and the vinegar is still safe to use. The representative said a mother is a healthy bacterium that grows after packing. Apparently, many types of vinegar found in stores contain “mothers.” A mother forms

Hints from Heloise Columnist when the vinegar contains nonfermented sugar and/or alcohol. It is more commonly found in unpasteurized vinegar. You can still use the vinegar with the “mothers” in it, or simply strain them out before use. I have at least five large gallon jugs around and never had a problem with these —

only the exotic types. — Heloise CAKE FLOUR Dear Heloise: I have a new recipe that calls for cake flour. All I can find in the market is all-purpose and self-rising flours. Any suggestions on what I can use to make cake flour? — Lillian H., Joplin, Mo. Here is an easy recipe for cake flour: Take 1 cup of allpurpose flour. Remove 2 tablespoons of the flour and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix together using a whisk or a fork. — Heloise CANNED GOODS Dear Heloise: Recently, you

had a letter about someone who opened cans of beans from the bottom to make it easier to get all the beans out. Instead, I put all of my canned goods on the shelves upside down. It eliminates digging the product out of the bottom of the can. When I pick up a can, I automatically turn it right side up before I open it, and some cans can be opened only from the top. I run a dishcloth around the rim to clean it, but there is never any accumulated dust down in the crevices. — Wally G. in Ohio

TODAY IN HISTORY degree from Harvard College. • In 1860, the legendary Pony Express began carrying mail between St. Joseph, Mo., and Sacramento, Calif. (The delivery system lasted only 18 months before giving way to the transcontinental telegraph.) • In 1882, outlaw Jesse James was shot to death in St. Joseph, Mo., by Robert Ford, a member of James’ gang. • In 1936, Bruno Hauptmann was electrocuted in Trenton, N.J. for the kidnap-murder of Charles Lindbergh Jr. • In 1942, during World War II, Japanese forces began their final assault on Bataan against American

(AP) — Today is Wednesday, April 3, the 93rd day of 2013. There are 272 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 3, 1973, the first handheld portable telephone was demonstrated for reporters on a New York City street corner as Motorola executive Martin Cooper contacted Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs using a Motorola device that, according to an AP story, looked like “a small, domesticated version of military walkie-talkies” and weighed less than three pounds. On this date: • In 1776, George Washington received an honorary Doctor of Laws

and Filipino troops who surrendered six days later; the capitulation was followed by the notorious Bataan Death March. • In 1968, the day before he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “mountaintop” speech to a rally of striking sanitation workers. • Today’s Birthdays: Actresssinger Doris Day is 90. Conservationist Dame Jane Goodall is 79. Singer Wayne Newton is 71. Singer Tony Orlando is 69. Actor Alec Baldwin is 55. Actor David Hyde Pierce is 54. Comedian Aries Spears is 38.

Ohio files notice of compliance with lake order The state said in February it met a deadline to complete remaining appraisals on properties. The state has argued that some property owners’ land lies outside a flood elevation line and isn’t eligible for compensation. But of those that are within the line, the state has made fair settlement offers, the natural resources agency said Tuesday. Natural Resources director James Zehringer defended the agency’s “careful and thoughtful approach,” which he said protected Ohio taxpayers. Paying “for land that doesn’t flood, and paying too much for flooding not caused by the spillway modifications, is simply wasting taxpayers’ money,” Zehringer said in a

statement. The state also blamed attorneys representing property owners for their own delays, saying multiple requests to delay court hearings set back the next case to be settled by four months. The two sides have battled for years over the speed of the compensation. An attorney for the landowners on Tuesday criticized the state for not putting down deposits to cover remaining cases involving people who sued over the state’s alleged delays. “Ohio law is apparently no obstacle to ODNR in its effort to punish landowners who successfully obtained an order of contempt against it from the Ohio Supreme Court,” Columbus attorney

said four months ago the landowners had shown “clear and convincing evidence” that the state was in contempt of the court’s December 2011 decision ordering compensation.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s natural resources agency said Tuesday it met the second of two courtordered deadlines to speed up compensation to landowners for losses from flooding near Ohio’s largest inland lake. At issue is how fast the Department of Natural Resources has responded to an order by the Ohio Supreme Court to compensate 87 landowners near Grand Lake St. Marys, a 20-square-mile lake between Dayton and Toledo. The agency met an April deadline for filing lawsuits to take the owners’ property, a necessary step that triggers the action needed for the state to compensate the landowners, according to a Natural Resources court filing.

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Mother/Father, that we do not think of you. Thank you for loving and sharing, for giving and for caring. God bless you and keep you, until we meet again. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Those we love we never lose, for always they will be, loved remembered, treasured, always in our memory. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true. A lane I so often travel down, because it leads to you. Oh how we wish he/she was here today, to see all the blessings we have. Yet somehow you know that he/she is guiding us on our paths. Tenderly we treasure the past with memories that will always last. Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. . Loved always, sadly missed. Forever remembered, forever missed. Suffer little children to come unto me.

• Softball Troy 9, Beavercreek 8 TROY — Beavercreek rattled off three runs in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game, but all sins by the Troy defense were erased in the bottom half of the inning. Allison Pierce scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh as the Trojans (2-1) overcame six errors for the 9-8 win Monday night at Market Street Diamond. Pierce led off the seventh with a base hit then was moved all the way to third on grounders by Brittney Sowers and Megan Schreiber — who each had two doubles in the game. Finally, Pierce scored on a hard-hit ball in the infield by Shay Emerick that was booted. Amber Smith went the distance on the hill and had no walks on her way to becoming the winning pitcher. Tecumseh 3 Miami East 1 CASSTOWN — The Miami East offense couldn’t produce in key situations in a 3-1 loss to Monday in Tecumseh Casstown. Madi Linn had two doubles and Sam Denlinger added two hits. Paige Kiesewetter took the loss on the hill for the Vikings. The Vikings play Wednesday at Lehman. Tippecanoe 17, West Carrollton 4 WEST CARROLLTON — Bri Eichbaum went the distance on the hill and Tippecanoe got mammoth performances across the board on offense as it rolled past West Carrolton 17-4 Monday night. Cassie Gingerich had three hits and an RBI, Eichbaum had two hits, two runs and three batted in, Kristin Mace added two hits and scored four runs, Jordan Kostyal added two hits, two runs a double, Hannah Beck had a huge game with three hits, a homer, double, two runs and seven runs batted in, Steph Kraska added two hits and two RBIs, Ali Muse contributed two hits and scored twice. Eichbaum lasted all six innings and had a strikeout-towalk ratio of five to zero. Tippecanoe improved to 2-1.

MIAMI COUNTY

WEST MILTON — By the time the top of the third was over, Troy held a 7-2 lead. But Milton-Union just kept chipping away. The Bulldogs (2-1) scored at least one run in every inning, including the game-winning one in the bottom of the sixth to break up a tie game and defeat the Trojans 9-8 Tuesday at Milton-Union. Both teams committed four errors in the game, though, and both teams know they have things to iron out.

“We’re going to hit. That’s not a concern,” Milton-Union coach Curt Schaefer said. “Our defense just isn’t up to par yet, and our pitching could have been better today. But it’s still early in the season, and we’ll get better.” “We have some work to do,” Troy coach Megan Campbell said. “We had a lot of errors yesterday, a lot of errors today, and we lost a game on Saturday because of errors. The coaches know we have work to do, the players know they have work to

do. But one thing about this team? Not one of us is scared of hard work.” And it’s something that others are noticing already. “We scrimmaged Troy about a week ago, and they’ve improved 100 percent from that game to now,” Schaefer said. “Their coaches have done an excellent job so far, and they’ve got that team going in the right direction.” Chloe Smith was 2 for 4 with three RBIs for the Bulldogs, Christine Heisey was 2 for 5 with two RBIs, Ashley Smith — in addition to coming on to pitch

in the third and eventually earning the win — doubled and had two RBIs, Haley Martens was 2 for 4 with a double, Kayla Smith was 3 for 4 and Chelsey Smith tripled. Shay Emerick was 3 for 4 with a triple to pace Troy (2-2), Megan Schreiber was 3 for 4 and Allison Pierce was 2 for 4.

Troy’s Ian Nadolny tries to avoid a tag at home plate during a game against Tecumseh Tuesday at Market Street Field in Troy.

Out of control 11-run fifth propels Tecumseh past Troy BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Six walks. Four runs scoring on wild pitches. A three-run inside-the-park home run. And that was just one inning. On a frigid Tuesday afternoon at Market Street Field, the Troy Trojans found out just how hard it is to put the wheels back on once they fall off completely. The Tecumseh TROY Arrows took advantage of Troy’s control problems, coming back from an early 2-0 deficit to tie the game — and then exploding for 11 runs in the top of the fifth inning to turn a tight ballgame into a 132 run-rule victory in non-league play. The first 11 Tecumseh batters in the top of the fifth all reached base and scored, with Tony Evans’ three-run inside-theparker making it a 12-2 game. To add insult to injury, Bubba Cantrell reached

TROY — It may not have felt like spring yet, but the Troy Trojans didn’t let the cold air bother them. Winning helps warm everyone up. Troy opened up the new season Tuesday at home in dominant fashion, defeating a traditionallytough Chaminade Julienne squad 4-1. At first singles, Luke Oaks defeated Carlos Estrada-Sanchez 6-2, 6-0. At second singles, Chris Schmitt defeated Will Bonner 6-1, 6-2. At third singles, Matt Schmitt defeated Anlhmy Geravesi 6-2, 7-5. At first doubles, Matt Alexander and Ian Stutz defeated Robert Smith and Thomas Cox 6-2, 6-0. The Trojans’ lone loss came at second doubles, where CJ’s Aarm Talib and Warren Reynolds defeated Aaron Coon and Jesse Wright 64, 6-3.

MIAMI COUNTY “It was good to get to play outside and come up with a team victory,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “Luke, Chris and Matt Schmitt played well in singles with Matt Alexander and Ian Stutz playing aggressive tennis at first doubles. Aaron and Jesse are still learning how to play doubles and will improve as the season goes along.” Troy (1-0) hosts Springfield Thursday.

Reds’ Ludwick needs shoulder surgery

Indians beat Blue Jays 4-1 in opener Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey and the overhauled Toronto Blue Jays struggled in their opener and lost to Asdrubal Cabrera, Justin Masterson and the Cleveland Indians 4-1 Tuesday night. See Page 16.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds outfielder Ryan Ludwick tore cartilage in his right shoulder while sliding into third base during the season opener and will need surgery, leaving the defending NL Central champions without one of their main run producers for an uncertain period. The team didn’t project how long Ludwick will be out. Ludwick dislocated his right shoulder on a headfirst slide in the third inning of Cincinnati’s 31, 13-inning loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. He said the shoulder popped out when his hand caught on the dirt. An MRI on Tuesday the team’s day off found the torn car-

tilage. He’ll have surgery on Wednesday. The Reds plan to put him on the 15-day disabled list and replace him on the roster before the second game of their series against the Angels. It’s a significant setback for the Reds, who relied on Ludwick’s right-handed hitting to balance left-handers Joey Votto and Jay Bruce in the middle of the lineup. Ludwick batted cleanup, between Votto and Bruce. His value to the team was evident when they gave him a twoyear, $15 million dollar deal to stay last December, one of several moves to keep the defending division champions intact for another playoff run.

The 34year-old outfielder was a key component in their championship season. After Votto went down with torn knee cartilage that LUDWICK caused him to miss 48 games, Ludwick became the Reds’ top run producer. He batted .340 with 12 homers and 36 RBIs while Votto recuperated. Ludwick also led the team with three homers during a fivegame series loss to San Francisco in the opening round of the play-

offs. Overall, he batted .275 with 26 homers and 80 RBIs in 125 games last season, including 107 starts in left field. Chris Heisey took over for Ludwick after he got hurt on Monday. Heisey started 80 games in the outfield last season and batted .265 with seven homers and 31 RBIs. Manager Dusty Baker was noncommittal after the game when asked if Heisey would take over the starting job in left field. Baker will have to juggle his lineup to try to make up for the loss of Ludwick’s right-handed production. “There’s quite a few things that go into that equation,” Baker said. “We’ll see.”

Notre Dame tops Duke, headed back to Final Four

Indians victorious in opener

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Skylar Diggins and Notre Dame are headed back to the Final Four for another rematch with Connecticut. Diggins shook off early foul trouble to score 24 points and Notre Dame rallied to beat Duke 87-76 on Tuesday night to earn its third consecutive trip to the Final Four. The Irish have lost in the past two national championship games. “I want to win a championship for coach (Muffet) McGraw bad,” Diggins said. “When you have a coach who believes in you so much I’d do anything for her.” Kayla McBride added 17 points while Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa had 17 each as the Fighting Irish (35-1) won their school-record 30th consecutive game, earning a fourth meeting with UConn. It’s the third straight meeting between the two Big East rivals in the Final Four. The Irish won both those and have dominated

the series lately winning seven of the past eight meetings. Notre Dame swept UConn all three meetings with UConn this season in thrilling fashion winning in overtime and by 1 and 2 points. The Irish had to rally past Duke to get there. Trailing by six at the half, Notre Dame took control with a 15-2 run early in the second half to take a 5042 lead. The Blue Devils lost in the regional finals for the fourth straight year, failing once again to return to the Final Four for the first time since 2006. Diggins, hampered by foul trouble in the first half, started the run with her fourth 3-pointer of the game and followed quickly with a no-look feed to Natalie Achonwa, who also grabbed 13 rebounds, for a layup that had drew an impressed roar from the crowd at Old Dominion’s Constant Center.

TORONTO (AP) — NL Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey and the overhauled Toronto Blue Jays struggled in their opener and lost to Asdrubal Cabrera, Justin Masterson and the Cleveland Indians 4-1 Tuesday night. Cabrera hit a two-run homer off Dickey, Masterson pitched six innings and the Indians ended their streak of opening day losses at four. Cleveland won its opener for the first time since beating the Chicago White Sox in 2008. The Indians had dropped eight of their last 10 openers. Excited by the winter acquisitions of Dickey, Jose Reyes and other All-Stars, fans in Toronto were eager to see the revamped roster in action. Instead, a disappointed sellout crowd of 48,857 saw Masterson and three relievers combine to hold Toronto to just one hit after newcomer Melky Cabrera’s leadoff single in the third, a two-out double in the ninth by catcher J.P. Arencibia. Colby Rasmus followed by striking out to end the game.

Masterson (1-0) allowed one run and three hits in six innings, ending his night by retiring 11 straight batters. The right-hander walked four and struck out five. Joe Smith worked the seventh, Vinnie Pestano pitched the eighth and Chris Perez finished for Cleveland, earning his first save.

Elijah Sims was 1 for 2 with a double — the only hit for the Bulldogs. Covington 8, New Knoxville 3 COVINGTON — The 2013 baseball season couldn’t have started any better for the Covington Buccaneers as they defeated St. Henry on Saturday 2-1 and New Knoxville 8-3 on Monday. And it took a two-hitter by Austin Angle on Saturday and a stellar pitching effort by senior rookie, Cole Owens against New Knoxville. Owens struck out seven batters and when the Rangers made contact he had a solid defense behind him. What was also big was Covington’s ability to take advantage of runners in scoring position. None were bigger than a two-run double by senior Ryan Boehringer that broke open a 3-2 game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Covington followed with another run in the fourth and then capped the offensive effort with two more runs in the bottom of the fifth. New Knoxville made things interesting in the top of the seventh by loading the bases and scoring a run, but a diving catch by Isaac

On opening day last year, Perez allowed three runs in the ninth against Toronto as the Blue Jays rallied to force extra innings, winning it in the 16th on a three-run homer by Arencibia. Dickey (0-1) allowed four runs, three of them earned, and five hits in six innings. The knuckleballer walked four and struck out four.

Dickey’s four walks were his most since May 6, 2012, when he walked four against Arizona. In 33 starts last season for the New York Mets, he issued more than three walks just twice he was traded to Toronto in the offseason. It was a rough night for Arencibia, who was charged with three passed balls in the first two innings. His two passed balls in the second helped Cleveland score the first two runs of the game. Michael Brantley singled and went to second on a passed ball before Mark Reynolds drew a one out walk before a second passed ball put runners at second and third. Lonnie Chisenhall hit an RBI grounder and Drew Stubbs followed with an RBI single. That prompted Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo, the subject of trade rumors linking him with the Maple Leafs and other teams, to tweet about Arencibia’s troubles, saying, “Maybe the Blue Jays need a goalie to catch RA Dickey? Just sayin…….”

NEW YORK (AP) — Pierre Jackson has saved some of the best basketball of his career for the end of it. Jackson earned himself and Baylor another game, putting up his third straight double-double with 24 points and 10 assists to lift the Bears back into the National Invitation Tournament championship with a 76-70 win over BYU on Tuesday night. “We got one more,” Jackson said. “If we win on Thursday, I’ll probably be here shaking because I’m too excited.” The Bears will play Iowa or Maryland on Thursday

night. Baylor’s Cory Jefferson scored 21 points and Isaiah Austin had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Bears, who are in the championship for the second time in five years, after losing to Penn State in 2009. Tyler Haws scored 25 points for the Cougars, who couldn’t buy a shot from 3point range for much of the game. Baylor (22-14) pulled away in the final eight minutes or so, and then withstood a late furious rally by BYU, led by Matt Carlino on 5-for-15 3-point shooting. The rest of the Cougars (2412) went 0 for 6.

Tippecanoe 9, Urbana 3 URBANA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tippecanoe rose to the occasion when the moment presented itself Tuesday, piling on four runs in the seventh inning to take down Urbana, 9-3. Bri Eichbaum got another win for the Red Devils, striking out five batters in the process. She also had three hits. Kristin Mace added a triple and two RBIs, Cassie Gingerich contributed three hits and Jordynn Kostyal a good all-around day with two hits, two RBIs and three scored. Steph runs Kraska had two doubles and two RBIs. Tippecanoe plays Milton-Union Friday at the Strike Out Cancer Tournament.

Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cody Fuller fires a strike Tuesday in Troy. â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 on a two-base error, then took third on a wild pitch and scored on another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all before the Trojans had even recorded an out. And Troy coach Ty Welker found that once the momentum swung that sharply, it was impossible to turn around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been part of an inning like that, where the first 11 guys up all score,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got into a situation where we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw strikes, and as a pitcher, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in control of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening anymore. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ready to mentally battle. You just hope that the guys revert back to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing all year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tecumseh is a good team. That team hits the ball. You have to get ahead in the count against them, because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to throw fastballs to them when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ahead in the count. We were either walking them or giving up doubles.â&#x20AC;? The Trojan pitchers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the strike zone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even the catcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove, after a while â&#x20AC;&#x201D; giving up a total of 10 walks and seven wild pitches, six of which scored runs. The game didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start that way, though. Troy starter Cody Fuller got out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the top of the first, then Collin Moeller hit a two-run single with two outs in the bottom of the inning to put the Trojans (21) up 2-0. But Arrow (3-0) starter Alex High took over from

Nick Sanders slides into third base during a game against Tecumseh Tuesday. there, only allowing two baserunners after the first inning. He pitched all five, striking out seven, walking three and giving up two hits, the other being a fifthinning double by Dylan Cascaden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of things offensively that we struggled on, too,â&#x20AC;? Welker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their pitcher took control of the game. He was in command, and we batted defensively.â&#x20AC;? Tecumseh cut the lead in half in the top of the second when High came in to score from third on a wild pitch, then Derrick Cain walked,

advanced to second on a groundout, took third on a wild pitch and home on yet another to tie the score 2-2 in the top of the fourth. Tony Evans and Bubba Cantrell both scored on wild pitches to start the fifth, then Christian Evans hit a two-run double. A pair of walks loaded the bases, then two more walks brought in runs. Jimmy Rowland scored on a wild pitch, then Tony Evans cleared the bases with a shot to the right-center gap, coming all the way around to score to make it 12-2 before Cantrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score on a wild

pitch made it 13-2. A popout and a pair of strikeouts put a merciful end to the inning. It was a stark contrast to Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening-day doubleheader sweep at Wayne on Saturday, where the Trojans scored 25 runs on 28 hits. Troy will look to rebound today on the road at Springfield Shawnee before returning home Thursday to face Beavercreek.

â&#x2013; College Football

Miller takes shot to ribs at OSU practice COLUMBUS (AP)â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Quarterback Braxton Miller took a shot to the ribs for the second time in a week but Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heisman Trophy candidate finished practice Tuesday and Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said the junior was fine. The Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player of the year in 2012 was hit on an option pitch by defensive end Noah Spence even

though Miller was wearing a black (for no contact) jersey. Miller stayed down for several minutes. As backup Kenny Guiton replaced him, Miller confronted some defensive players on the sideline before being restrained by teammates. Miller was held out of three series before returning to practice in preparation for the spring game on

April 13. It will be held at Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paul Brown Stadium because of concrete work being done to Ohio Stadium. Afterward, Meyer was unfazed, noting that Miller was already nursing a sore rib from a hit last week but that the tackle by Spence was in no way malicious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ran option.

(Miller) got hit in the same spot.â&#x20AC;? Neither was he displeased that Miller got up and went after the defensive players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like quarterbacks that want to go get in a street fight and go after it,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not probably the time to do it, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitor. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking what kind of reaction would I want out of a quarterback? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really see what happened, but Braxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than the opposite, just lay on the ground and curl up and, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why did he hit me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough kid.â&#x20AC;? Miller, a 6-foot-2, 215 pound junior, was fifth in Heisman voting last season as the Buckeyes went 12-0 in Meyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season in Columbus but were ineligible for the conference championship and a bowl game because of NCAA sanctions.

Newton Sweeps Pair FLORIDA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Newton Indians kicked off their trip to Florida Tuesday with a doubleagainst header Wallington, N.J., sweeping both games 9-2 and 83.

Laura Oaks was 2 for 4 with a double and McKell Deaton tripled in the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids played well today,â&#x20AC;? Newton coach Kirk Kadel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made some errors and we took advantage, and we hit the ball well.â&#x20AC;? Newton plays another doubleheader on Thursday. Covington 12, Anna 0 COVINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Covington got going with a five-run fourth inning and rolled to a 12-0 runrule victory Tuesday.

Spencer Thomas also went 2 for 4 Newton trailed 6-0 before scoring four in the top of the fourth to make it a ballgame. Cody Alexander pitched a complete game in the loss, giving up seven hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just had too many baserunning mistakes, and it cost us,â&#x20AC;? Newton coach Gregg Carnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids kept competing and made it interesting in the seventh, loading the bases. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll correct things in practice and keep striving to get better.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles are back in action Monday, hosting Metro Buckeye Conference foe Xenia Christian.
