Stonebridge Meadows OK’d Approval may end decade-long process BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com
Bombing kills 10 in Somalia Two weeks ago, Somalia’s National Theater reopened for the first time in 20 years for a concert that drew an audience in festive colors in a city trying to rise above war. A welcoming banner proclaimed: “The country is being rebuilt.”
More than a decade of planning, zoning, name changes, lawsuits and revisions over a 63-acre site now called Stonebridge Meadows passed through city council’s chambers on Monday. City council approved 4 to 1 the third reading of the ordinance to
declare Stonebridge Meadows Troy’s newest development. Although city residents have 30 days to contest the ordinance, like any ordinance passed at city hall, Stonebridge Meadow’s developer Judy Tomb said she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. “We think it’s going to be beautiful,” Tomb said Wednesday. Tomb said the “executive” style homes
TROY
Council approved the plan which includes a 1-acre undeveloped private park adjacent to Meadow Lake. The 1-acre private park was a highly contested point for the city council and the planning and zoning commission from its original plan of a 4-acre park, and no longer includes a “fee inlieu of” park dedication fee of a projected $62,000. The developer is required to install a park shelter and a total of six park benches
will range in price from $300,000 to $400,000 and will improve the tax base of the city. Stonebridge Meadows is located on land across from Concord Elementary School, immediately west of the intersection of State Route 718 and McKaig Road, on Troy’s west side. • See STONEBRIDGE on Page 2

There is a lot more activity going around here this morning since six of our children are home from school on spring break.

One of the oldest McDonald’s restaurants in the area was demolished Wednesday near the Trojan Village Shopping Center in Troy. The facility will be rebuilt with a new sleek “arcade” design and even better drivethrough service with two lines, according to location owner Benny Scott. Patrons will have to wait approximately 75 days for its new house of hamburgers.
Afghan bomb kills at least 10 Three U.S. soldiers among casualties KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber on a motorcycle killed at least 10 people, including three American soldiers, at a park in a relatively peaceful area of northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, part of an increase in violence at the start of the spring fighting season. The Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the attack, are targeting Afghan and NATO security
forces as they fight to assert their power and undermine U.S. efforts to try to build up the Afghan military, who will take the lead in combat responsibility over the next couple of years. Shortly before noon, the bomber detonated his explosives at the gate of the park in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province, police spokesman Lal Mohammad Ahmad Zai said. His target was unclear, but Zai said four of the 10 killed were Afghan police officers. At least 20 people were wounded, officials said. In Kabul, NATO said three of its service members were killed in a bombing
Wednesday in northern Afghanistan. It provided no other details about the attack or the nationalities of the three. A senior U.S. defense official, however, confirmed that three were American troops killed in the Faryab bombing. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. Norway and Germany, which commands alliance operations in northern Afghanistan, said none of their troops were involved. Troops of other nationalities also serve in the area most of them at a Norwegian base that works on partnering with Afghan troops so that they can
eventually take control of security in the region. Associated Press video footage of the scene of the attack shows what appear to be dead Afghan civilians, police and foreign troops. Body parts are strewn around the gate and on the ground, which is spattered with blood. In a statement on their Web site, the Afghan Taliban claimed killing 16 coalition troops and 12 Afghans in the Faryab suicide attack. Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt among coalition forces in Maimanah as they were traveling to a park.

Tentative trial dates have been set for a Troy man who allegedly adopted three children only to rape them and compel child and a prostitution Beavercreek man who allegedly paid the father to have sex with at least one of the children. During separate pretrial conferences in Miami County Common Pleas Court on Monday, two different judges scheduled the trial dates for Kenneth H. Brandt, 39, of Troy, to begin April 24 a n d another trial to s t a r t May 15 for Jason M. Zwick, 29, of Beaverc r e e k . BRANDT Brandt has been charged with 31 counts of r a p e . Eleven of t h o s e f i r s t d e g r e e ZWICK felony charges involve a victim under the age of 10 and each one is punishable with 15 years to life in prison. The remaining 20 rape counts are punishable by up to 11 years in prison. Zwick has been charged with three counts of rape, each one punishable by up to 11 years in prison. Both have men entered pleas of not guilty at their arraignment last week after a Miami County grand jury returned numerous indictments against the duo. Both men remained behind bars at the Miami County Jail on high bonds Tuesday afternoon. Brandt is being held on an $800,000 bond and Zwick has a bond of $500,000. Police said Brandt allegedly raped the children repeatedly and used online advertisements to solicit area men, including Zwick, to perform sexual acts on the children, who were the ages of 9, 10, and 12 when the alleged abuse was first discovered. In March, authorities raided Brandt’s Troy home

The development will have a total of 8.4 acres of total open space. “Even though we took the four-acre park out, there will still be a shelter and if the Home Owners Association wants to put a playground in, we’ll do so and make sure the area is safe for children because it will be near the lake.” Tomb said a great feature of Stonebridge Meadows is the more than 1/2 mile of walking path around the 5 acre lake. “The lake is very desirable, as well as useful to help with the water issues,” Tomb said. “People will have a great place to walk their dogs or with friends.” Councilman Bobby Phillips cast the lone “no” vote. He said the reason he voted against Stonebridge Meadows was the the developer no longer was required to install a sidewalk adjacent to Concord Elementary School property along Washington Road. Phillips said the sidewalk would have made the section of the roadway more “residential” and not “as rural” to signal to motorists to slow down. “I’m not opposed to the development at all — I don’t like it as proposed because I thought there needed to be a sidewalk to Concord (Elementary School),” Phillips said. “If you make it look like a rural area, people are more inclined to travel as such.” Phillips said the sidewalk would have made motorists slow down and be used as a “heads-up” to slow down from

Councilwoman Robin Oda also voted against the development at the March 19 city council meeting, but was not present at Monday’s meeting. MARKET DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT Tomb said the market has changed considerably since the beginning of the development process a decade ago. “It was a good plan then, and it’s a good plan now,” said Tomb, who said the original plans made a decade ago now closely resemble the final revised plan. According to the Stonebridge Meadows approved plans, the development will have eight lots of R-4 (9,00012,000 square footage), 104 R-3B (12,000-15,000 square footage) lots, 14
lots of R-3 lots (15,000-20,000 square footage) lots and eight lots more than 20,000 square feet in size. Tomb said the development of “executive housing” has been a desirable market for those looking for a three-car garage home without the exterior maintenance. “People are wanting the large homes, but not so much of the exterior work,” Tomb said. Tomb said the development “is going to be a great asset for the community.” Bart Denlinger, owner of Denlinger and Sons Builders, said there was nowhere else to build the custom homes he designs. “It going to be huge for our business,” Denlinger said of the approval

made Monday. Denlinger said there are only a few lots left in Stonebridge, located on McKaig Avenue, and his only other option was to build in Tipp City. “The economy is turning,” Tomb said. “We’re seeing the buyer’s needs and feel it in a very tangible way with requests at our open houses for these single-story homes with the upscale amenities in a nice neighborhood.” “The nice thing about the Meadows is that people can build a nice upscale home without too much yard work,” Tomb said. Denlinger said the upscale custom homes seen in developments such as Edgewater and Stonebridge have been highly sought after since the turn in the economy. “That market has been very good to us,” said Denlinger, a custom home builder since 1992. He said he has multiple plans drawn up for Stonebridge Meadows, but of course, the customer can always bring their own to build upon. “The single-level style seems to be very popular,” said Denlinger, adding that the the fully-loaded basement with living area also has also been a key element lately for upscale housing. “These are going to be very nice homes, but smaller, with the upscale finishes like granite countertops and the higher-end appliances,” Denlinger said. Tomb said she is grateful to the city council for approving the development plans after the decade-long battle. “I’m grateful the city council had the courage to do what’s best for the city,” she said.

Covington Council hears project funding options BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com With an eye on future projects, Covington Village Council members heard presentations Monday night on possible funding sources to help finance those improvements. Council also approved a salary ordinance that set the pay range for the new village administrator’s position. Addressing council on possible funding sources for improvement projects were Brice Schmitmeyer of the engineering firm of Fanning Howey Associates of Celina, Nikki Reese, Miami County community development program manager and Ron Puthoff of the consulting firm of Community Development Services Inc. of Chickasaw. Schmitmeyer stressed the importance of the village planning ahead for future improvement projects. He suggested a work session attended by council members, Mayor Ed McCord and some village department heads to discuss future plans. “We need to put a list of projects together and then develop the the timing so we can go after the funding,” Schmitmeyer said. “We need to get this put down on paper.” Later in the meeting, McCord also cited the need for advance planning. “We need to move forward,” McCord said. “We need to be working on projects three, four or five years out,” noting the proposed Spring Street project has been in the planning stages for about three years. Reese gave an overview of funding sources coordinated by her department, with final funding decisions being made by Miami County Commissioners. Among the federal and state funded programs han-
COVINGTON dled by the county is the Community Development Block Grant program. CDBG funding is allocated for Formula Allocation Program, Economic Development Loan and Public Infrastructure Grant Program (including the water and sanitary sewer program), Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), New Horizons Fair Housing Program and Discretionary Grant Program. Reese said the state’s funding has been cut sharply over the past two years, from $51.9 million in fiscal year 2010 to $40.5 million for fiscal year 2012 year and the county’s share also has been reduced. Among the possible grant applications the village could submit, Reese said, would be one to pay for a sewage system survey, which would include taking a look at upgrading the current treatment plant or connecting to Piqua’s system. Puthoff said he has been working with villages for 14 years to help communities find the best way to finance improvements. He said some of the federal programs have changed or ceased to exist over the years, while others have been introduced. “You have to put a plan together (for possible projects),” Puthoff said. When it is decided what projects the village wants to pursue in the future, work can begin on locating funding sources to help pay for the improvements, he said. McCord said Puthoff helped the village obtain $18,000 from the Ohio Nature Works program for the installation of a new lift station at the village park. The village also received a donation from the Covington Community Chest to pay the remaining cost of the lift
station project. Acting on an emergency basis, council approved a new village salary ordinance. Among the provisions of the ordinance was to set the pay range for the new village administrator’s position at $50,000 to $70,000 per year. Earlier in the meeting, council approved a job description for the village administrator’s position, which the village plans to have filled by July 1. Village Solicitor Frank Patrizio said the pay rates for other village employees remained the same in the salary ordinance, with some minor changes in vacation and personal leave provisions. In other business council: • Approved the hiring of Jeremy Yingst again this summer as a part-time park employee. He will be paid $4,000 for the job, which includes mowing, cleaning at the park and other duties. McCord said Yingst did a very good job in the position last summer. The job starts with the opening of ball season and runs through the Fort Rowdy Gathering in October. • Authorized McCord to gather information on the possible purchase of a Durapatcher to be used to fix potholes and other problem areas on village streets. • Requested that people who bring their dogs to the village park bring a bag to clean up after their dogs. • Learned that the cost of insect spraying by Bug-ABoo will be $230 per application for four applications. Action on the contract will be taken at the next meeting. Also to be acted on at the April 16 meeting will be a contract with Wise Lawn Care for weed spraying at the village hall and village storm water detention ponds. • Went into executive session to discuss legal issues. No action was expected after the session.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution
EDITORIAL The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wis. on congressional travel: You may have heard this phrase: “You can’t get something for nothing.” Or you surely have heard this one: “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” And there’s no such thing as a free, privately funded trip for our members of Congress. Congressional travel became a hot topic with the Jack Abramoff scandal, in which the lobbyist plied congressmen with trips, gifts and meals in exchange for political favors. After Abramoff, in 2007, Congress passed a new ethics rule that says its members can’t accept trips that last more than one day from organizations that retain lobbyists. But that rule has been subverted by another phrase: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Organizations are still paying for congressional trips but have separate but affiliated lobbying organizations. And members of Congress are still going on As I trips. See It Members of Congress, or their mouthpieces, ■ The Troy say these types of trips are educational.

The global accessibility of instantaneous general knowledge is one of the wonders of our age. We are now seeing this principle of mass engagement extended into just about every corner of human inquiry, echoed by a hunger for learning and discussion that sees thousands turning out to listen to fresh ideas being debated. We’ve reported on the crowdsourcing of scientific research, the ways in which tasks that might once have taken years can now be achieved in hours and days by enlisting armies of willing research assistants equipped only with a laptop and a desire to be involved in increasing the sum of understanding. Galaxy Zoo, with its global community of avid stargazers, leads the way in this endeavor, but its model has been applied to other disciplines — from the curious souls who spend their evenings categorizing whale music to those who translate papyri, analyze oil paintings or map the spread of invasive species. The Internet provides the opportunity for that spirit of observation and engagement to be shared and focused. It also makes the argument for the power of collaboration over competition, for openness over secrecy, which might begin to break down some of the guarded and protective behaviors that have long characterized professional science. Open science, the free sharing of research, has a long way to go, but citizen science begins to show what working together might achieve.

DOONESBURY
In which I finally make my television debut With a face not made for television — and a voice not made for radio — I always kind of knew if I was ever going to be a part of the media, newspapers would have to be my venue of choice. And truly, I have no regrets. I enjoy every second working in the newspaper business. Still, though, there’s something exciting about getting the call and finding out you are going to be on television. The bright lights. The big city. The titanic pimple. Several weeks ago, I got a phone call from White Castle headquarters, asking if I would be willing to appear on a new Discovery Channel show profiling America’s favorite places to eat. Last fall, I was inducted into the White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame and the show’s producers wanted to talk to several hall of famers, asking about their passion for the delicious little sliders. As someone who loves talking about White Castles — and someone who adores the attention afforded by the opportunity to be on television — I didn’t hesitate in saying yes. What I didn’t know
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor at the time, however, was there was a zit so huge, so prolific and so epic forming on the tip of my nose that ancient Greeks could have written poems about it. It bears mentioning that although I’m pushing 40, I still have the complexion of a teenage boy. My wife is quick to point out I still have the maturity level and upper body strength of a teenage boy to match. In any event, I wasn’t about to let a little skin issue stop me from talking about the burgers I hold so dear. When I showed up at the shoot (it’s an industry term) near Columbus with my wife, two kids, mother, sister, two nephews and niece in tow, the first thing they did was start

bringing out tray after tray of free food. I remember looking at my wife and saying, “Welcome to the greatest day of my life.” After a look from her, I quickly added, “… right after our wedding day and the births of our children, of course.” Still, though, despite sitting behind a mound of sliders, french fries and chicken rings, I couldn’t help but worry about the pimple on the tip of my nose showing up on television. I looked at my sister and asked, “How bad is the zit on my nose?” To which she responded, “It’s not even that noticeable. It looks like a mole. It probably won’t even show up on camera.” “Perhaps if the camera was stationed on the moon,” I remember thinking. Moments later, I saw the host of the show sitting in the makeup chair. I thought this would be my big chance. I asked the makeup lady if there was any chance she could cover up my pimple. Turns out the make-up was only for the host, however. As it turned out, I was going to be going on national television
— and my blemish was going to be joining me. We were kind of a team — like Sonny and Cher. Fong and Zit. One thing I quickly learned about the interview process was that, as a journalist, I like to be the one asking the questions. I’ve spent my entire adult life asking people questions — I didn’t feel quite so comfortable once the tables were turned. Fortunately, however, I was well-versed in the subject matter and think I was able to answer all his questions relatively intelligently. Now all that’s left to see is how much of my interview makes the final cut. In addition to interviewing me, he also interviewed my daughter, my niece, my two nephews and about a dozen other customers. Obviously we won’t all make it through the editing process between now and when the show airs May 30. If I don’t make the final cut, I’m blaming the zit. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. White Castle has the taste some people can’t live without.

Romney turns from primaries, toward Obama Leads candidates with 644 delegates MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mitt Romney is turning away from his primary opponents and toward Democratic President Barack Obama after sweeping three more Republican contests. The likely GOP nominee was set Wednesday to take the same Washington stage that the president had used a day earlier to criticize Romney in a speech to newspaper editors in Washington. The former Massachusetts governor planned to address an audience of the Newspaper Association of America and the American Society of News Editors, a day after Obama spoke to the annual meeting of The Associated Press. “There is a basic choice before us,” Romney said Tuesday night as he spoke to cheering supporters in Milwaukee. “Our different visions for America are the product of our values and our life experiences.” Romney’s victories in
Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia widened his delegate lead and all but handed him the title of presumptive Republican nominee. Despite pressure to leave the race, rival Rick Santorum vowed to fight on, urging voters in the next-up Pennsylvania primary to vote for “someone whose views are forged in steel, not on an Etch A Sketch.” Romney didn’t mention Santorum on Tuesday night. Instead, Romney sought to cast Obama as an “out of touch” liberal whose personal background is hostile to a free economy. His remarks came just hours after Obama delivered a combative campaign speech in Washington, where he attacked House Republicans’ budget plan “thinly veiled social as Darwinism” that “is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for everybody who’s willing to
work for it.” Obama called it “a prescription for decline.” After his speech Wednesday, Romney planned to head to a campaign event in the Philadelphia suburbs. He was to campaign in the state Thursday as well. Obama planned to attend an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House. For Romney, the end of the contested primary campaign could hardly come soon ROMNEY enough. “I want to have our nominee start raising money, start organizing a national campaign and focus on President Obama and his agenda because this is time for us to start focusing on him rather than standing and focusing on one another in these primary contests,” he told radio host
Sean Hannity on Tuesday. “I think we’ve had, as of tonight, we will have had almost 35 or more state or territorial contests for the nomination. Maybe it’s time to get going.” Obama has gained in the polls in recent months, particularly among women, as Republicans vie among themselves for support from a conservative party electorate. Santorum has devoted more time to social concerns — including birth control — than Romney, who has generally stayed focused on economic issues. Surveys indicate Americans are growing more optimistic about the overall state of the economy. Unemployment has fallen in recent months, but it is still at a relatively high 8.3 percent of the work force. Already, the early outlines of a general election ad war are visible.
Obama’s re-election campaign is airing commercials in a halfdozen battleground states that accuse Romney of siding with Big Oil “for their tax breaks, attacking higher mileage standards and renewables.” The ads are a rapid response to $3 million in commercials aired by an outside group, American Energy Alliance, blaming the president for rising gasoline prices. In his campaign for the Republican nomination, Romney has collected endorsements from former President George H.W. Bush; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a tea party favorite; and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, author of a conservative budget that Republicans pushed through the House last week. Romney won at least 83 delegates in the three races Tuesday, with 6 yet to be allocated. That pushed his total to 655 of the 1,144 needed to clinch the nomination. Santorum has 278 delegates, Newt Gingrich 135 and Ron Paul 51.

Medical personnel help a man wounded in a blast at the Somali National Theater in Mogadishu, Somalia Wednesday.
Somali bombing kills 10 MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Two weeks ago, Somalia’s National Theater reopened for the first time in 20 years for a concert that drew an audience in festive colors in a city trying to rise above war. A welcoming banner proclaimed: “The country is being rebuilt.” On Wednesday, the theater was turned into a scene of screams, chaos and blood when a suicide bomber attacked another high-profile event, killing 10 people, wounding dozens and shattering a tentative peace in the capital of Mogadishu. The blast occurred as Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali stood at the podium to deliver a speech. He was unharmed, said government spokesman Abdirahman Omar Osman, but the president of Somalia’s Olympic committee and the head of its soccer federation were among the dead. The government said a female suicide bomber carried out the attack. The Islamist militant group alShabab used its official Twitter feed to claim responsibility for the bombing. The al-Qaida-linked organization said explosives had been planted in the theater before the event, but an Associated Press journalist at the scene said there was no large blast crater, making a suicide bombing more likely. “It was a cowardly act and that will not deter the government from performing its national duties,” Osman said. “The prime minister will energize the government to eliminate the terrorists.” Fighters belonging to alShabab were pushed out of Mogadishu in August by government and African Union troops after two decades of violence that have gripped the Somali capital. Since then, sports leagues have blossomed, markets have appeared and Western-style restaurants have sprung up, marking a long-awaited revival of the seaside capital.
The National Theater was refurbished and reopened with a concert of singing, guitar-playing and drums on March 19 that drew hundreds of people and was broadcast live on TV. Wednesday’s ceremony was part of that rebirth of entertainment, celebrating the first anniversary of the start of a national TV station. “The blast happened as musicians were singing and spectators were clapping for them,” said Salah Jimale, who attended but
received only scratches from the bombing. “Huge smoke made the whole scene go dark.” Amid the screams, nervous soldiers outside fired into the air to disperse crowds gathered around the theater. A man wounded in the head and chest tried to sit up but suddenly collapsed and died. Shoes and blood-splattered cellphones were scattered on the floor of the theater, which can accommodate 2,000 people and is partly open to the sky.
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market suffered its worst loss in a month Wednesday after a weak bond auction in Spain renewed investor fear about European debt. The price of gold plunged to its lowest level since January. Investors looking for a safe place for their money drove up the price of U.S. government debt. The dollar surged against the euro. Just after noon EDT, the Dow was down 145 points at 13,054, and only four of the 30 stocks in the average were higher. The Dow has had only one triple-digit decline for a trading day this year — March 6, when it fell 204 points. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was down 17 points at 1,396. Nine of 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index fell, with financial stocks leading the way, declining 1.8 percent as a group. The Nasdaq composite index was down 55 at 3,058, on the way to its worst decline of the year. The Nasdaq rallied almost 20 percent in the first three months of the year but was headed for its sixth loss in seven days. Commodity prices fell sharply. Gold plunged $52, or 3 percent, to $1,620 an ounce. Many investors hold gold as a hedge against a weakening dollar, and
the dollar strengthened Wednesday against the euro and the British pound. The euro fell as low as $1.3106, its lowest point against the dollar in more than two weeks. Gold doubled in price after the 2008 financial crisis and almost hit $1,900 an ounce, driven partly by fear about the global economy and partly by investors who saw an opportunity to make money from gold’s strong rally. Silver fell 5.5 percent Wednesday, copper fell 3 percent, and crude oil dropped 2.5 percent. In Spain, bond yields spiked after a disappointing auction of government debt, a signal that investor confidence in Spain’s finances is weakening. Spain announced tax increases and budget cuts last week. European stocks plunged. The benchmark indexes in Germany and France were down almost 3 percent, while Britain’s index was off 2.4 percent. In the United States, minutes from the last meeting of the Federal Reserve showed that members had a sunnier view of the economy because of strong gains in the job market in December, January and February. But the Fed also signaled that it is unlikely to buy more bonds to help the economy.

White cake makes delicious finale for dinner There is a lot more activity going around here this morning since six of our children are home from school on spring break. Makes it a little harder for me to concentrate to sit down and write this column. I should have written this before everyone was awake, but the extra sleep sure gave me a better start. We had a delicious meal of homemade breakfast burritos before starting our day. It is now 10 a.m. and everyone is busy doing something. Elizabeth, 17, and Susan, 16, are gathering laundry that needs to be washed. Verena, 14, and Loretta, 11, and Lovina, 7, are washing dishes and sweeping the floors. Benjamin, 12, Joseph, 9, and Kevin, 6, headed out to the barn to clean out the chicken coop. Elizabeth found out the twins that she babysits for are sick so she does not have to go to work today. After she is done with laundry she wants to work on getting her dress, cape and apron cut out and start sewing on it. Her
more pants and it looks like Joseph needs a few more. It doesn’t take long for the boys to have holes in their pants. I need to put patches on them for the ones they wear here at home and make new ones for school. Easter will be Sunday already so the children want to color eggs this week. I will probably not let them color as many dozens as we usually did.

a grocery store. Also on our list to do this week is to make some horseradish to use with the hard-boiled eggs for Easter. We will have church services at our neighbors for Easter Sunday. Joe will be off from work this Good Friday. We will hide eggs for the children since on Friday we won’t be home Sunday. The children like to find candy-filled eggs out in the yard. All of these activities are fun but we always make the children understand what the true meaning of Easter is, though. Lovina’s eye had a bad scratch on the cornea last week. She was home from school for three days with a very painful eye. One day last week she asked me if she could have carrots for lunch. She said I heard eating carrots are good for your eyes. It made me smile that she thought of that. The eye doctor prescribed some eye drops and it seemed to help heal the eye. Now she doesn’t act like she has any side effects from it. Jacob, Emma and family had
dinner here yesterday. Joe grilled T-bone steaks and we also had mashed potatoes, gravy, tea, macaroni and cheese, carrot sticks, and ranch dip, sliced cheese, white cake, rhubarb coffeecake, cherry delight and peaches. Lovina mixed the white cake so she was proud to see it all ate up. I will share the recipe for the white cake.

Ham prices high heading into Easter OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Ham will be the centerpiece of many Easter dinners this weekend, but the cost of that traditional main dish may make it harder for families to live high on the hog. Ham prices have been higher than usual for the past two years because the cost of pig feed has gone up, and some major pork producers are spending millions to convert barns as they phase out cramped cages used to confine pregnant sows. Ham has been selling
said she’s had her Easter ham in the freezer since Christmas, when she bought it on sale so she could economically feed her two daughters, two exchange students and husband. “You really have to watch the ads and see who has the best price,” Vejvoda said. That’s good advice for families, but hard to do when you’re trying to provide ham for hundreds of people at a food pantry. Joyce Lonergan, food pantry director at St.
wholesale for 75 to 80 cents per pound this spring, which is in line with last year’s prices but well above the 55 cents per pound average for the previous five years. A recent check at one Omaha-area supermarket found boneless Hormel hams selling for about $2.20 per pound, with bone-in hams slightly cheaper. With sales offered this week to attract Easter shoppers, it was possible to get a bone-in ham for as little as $1.28 per pound. Paula Vejvoda of Omaha

Anthony’s Shrine in downtown Boston, said she tries to arrange to have a special meal at each holiday to help boost people’s spirits, but the prospect seemed daunting when the pantry began shopping for hams back in January. They were selling for $2.30 per pound, not the 99 cents per pound paid last year. With added donations and some breaks from suppliers, St. Anthony’s was able to secure ham steaks and chickens for the holiday meal. “We’ve made it work only because people have been so generous,” Lonergan said. Livestock economist Shane Ellis said the price of ham isn’t likely to drop soon because pork producers’ costs aren’t decreasing. Feed, which is mainly corn, is running about $6 a bushel — not far from the record $7.99 per bushel set last June. Pork producers also are switching from gestation crates to more open pens

One major producer, Smithfield Foods, recently said it expects to spend nearly $300 million by 2017 to convert its barns. The switch also requires
more labor to manage the sows because they tend to fight. Some of those costs are likely to be passed on to consumers. Americans consume about 51 pounds of pork a year on average, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Husband needs to be evaluated by a doctor Dear Annie: I've been with my husband for 15 years. He has many good qualities, but he has always struggled with shyness, low self-esteem and awkwardness. When we got together, he promised to be the financial provider. He started many careers, all of which fizzled. Twice he's had yearlong gaps where he was unemployed. Right now, he works a minimum-wage job. We are both in our mid-30s and recently had our first baby. I am resentful and angry that I had to return to work and put the baby in day care. I missed my baby's first steps and first word. I feel robbed of time with my child. My husband says the difficulty of being the provider has been too hard to overcome. He wants me to let it go and move on. But, Annie, he is perfectly capable of making it happen. I never wanted to be "Mrs. Career," and now I feel trapped. He always has excuses for not choosing a career. He has abandoned me to carry this financial burden on my own. I have seen a few counselors, who say to keep encouraging and believing in him, but my baby is nearly 2, and my husband is not making any effort. My father worked two jobs, and he says there's something wrong with a man who can't provide for his family. I tend to believe him. Do I let the dream die and accept reality or keep encouraging him? — Sad Wife Dear Sad: There are worse things than being the main breadwinner and putting your child in day care. But the resentment and anger are problematic, and encouragement only goes so far. Please insist that your husband be evaluated for adult ADD, and also that he get some career counseling as well as therapy to work on his negative, selfdefeating attitude. Dear Annie: My father is dying of cancer. According to the doctors, he doesn't have much longer to live. Dad and his second wife have been married for nearly 60 years. She has some dementia. My two younger half-brothers have told me she will get very upset if my daughter and I go see Dad. My stepmother and I have never been close, but she was always very sweet to us in the past. I don't want to upset her, but at the same time, I want to see my dad, and my daughter wants to visit her granddad before he passes. We were able to see him for a short visit in the hospital, and once we came over when his wife was out of the house. I know this is a stressful time for the whole family. I don't think Dad has much more time, and I will be upset if he dies and I haven't had a chance to say goodbye. What should I do? — First Born Dear First Born: Go anyway. If you fear it will derail your stepmother, ask one of her sons to please take her out for dinner or shopping so you can stop by with your daughter and say goodbye. Give them two or three possible time options, and insist that they select one within the week. Our thoughts are with you. Dear Annie: Here's one more about naming a pet the same as a person. Years ago, I had a cat named Charlie. He was not allowed on our sofa. One day, a business associate stopped by and was sitting on the sofa talking to my husband. I walked into the living room and saw our cat jumping onto the couch. I yelled, "Charlie, get off of that sofa," and the visitor suddenly jumped to his feet in confusion. I had forgotten that his name was also Charlie. I quickly apologized. — Still Chuckling in Pennsylvania Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Simple hint helps grocery bags get new bottoms Dear Heloise: I use reusable bags for my groceries, and over time the cardboard bottoms get bent. This hint was suggested to me by a checkout girl at my favorite grocery store. I tried it, and it works great! First, wash each bag as directed. Next, purchase plastic needlepoint canvas from a craft store — the heavier, the better. Cut each sheet to fit your bags, using the old cardboard as a pattern. You can cut this as large or as small as you like. I cut mine to fit inside the bottom
Hints from Heloise Columnist seams for each bag. Then you can simply slip-stitch the canvas inside each bag. I used heavy-duty thread and stitched all around the bottom of each bag. I fixed all my bags this way several months ago, and so far they all are in very good shape. — Betsy L., Camp Hill, Pa.
HELOISE’S TEST YOUR HINT IQ Dear Readers: What everyday items around your house can be used to remove a splinter? a. Tape b. White school glue c. A credit card d. All of the above The answer is “d.” — for superficial splinters, any type of tape, a thin layer of glue that has dried or a credit card (gently used in swiping motion) should get the splinter right out! — Heloise CALIBRATING SCALE Dear Heloise: I have a
hint regarding postage. I purchased a pretty good postal scale, as I do a lot of mailings. At each group of mailings, I calibrate my scale to zero to make sure everything goes OK. Then I take five quarters (25-cent pieces) and check my scale, and it should be exactly 1 ounce.I told clerks at a post office about my system, and they were a little skeptical, but tried it. Sure enough, it came to 1 ounce; however, the post office calibrates its scales with a special system. — Ed M., East McKeesport, Pa.

HOROSCOPE Thursday, April 5, 2012 The influence you have on your peer group could increase considerably over the coming months. Thus, it’s important to remember that the standards you set for yourself in the year ahead will be the ones your pals will also follow. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It behooves you to subdue your assertiveness when it comes to a partnership arrangement. There are certain things that your counterpart will be better at doing, and you need to accept that. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — As long as you stick to working with tested methods and procedures, this can be a productive day for you. Experimenting with the unknown could set your entire operation back. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Lady Luck is only likely to help you when you stay on familiar turf. It behooves you to forego inclinations to gamble on persons or things about which you know little. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Only after you have successfully dealt with family matters should you switch your focus to some of your other interests. Concerns of the home should be given top priority. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You might have to make a choice regarding numerous circumstances that need attending. Some are positive, some could be counterproductive, but all are intermingled. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Before taking on anything new, you need to clean up any old, neglected jobs that you’ve left unattended. Only then will you be free to give all your attention to a new project. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If your mate has to make a choice in an area where he or she used poor judgment in the past, don’t let history repeat itself. Step in and offer some suggestions if you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Before taking on any new duties, finish what you have already started. If you attempt to do everything all at once, it will merely lead to lots of frustration and little productivity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It is extremely important to treat all of your friends with equal courtesy and respect. If you play favorites or show partiality, you are likely to lose out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Ambitions having to do with material gains have good chances of being fulfilled. However, you might not score equally well on your social interests. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It behooves you to be a better listener than a talker. While you’re telling others what you know, someone might be trying to tell you something you don’t know. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Getting involved in a joint endeavor could be quite iffy, especially if you are once again teaming up with someone who was part of a failed deal in the past.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, April 5, the 96th day of 2012.There are 270 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 5, 1862, during the Civil War, the monthlong Siege of Yorktown began in Virginia. (Because the Union commander, Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, overestimated the enemy’s strength and insisted on preparations for a full-scale assault, the Confederate defenders were finally able to slip away and head toward Williamsburg.)

Detroit gives state powers to help rescue finances DETROIT (AP) — Detroit leaders reluctantly agreed Wednesday to let the state take a more active role in restructuring the cashstrapped city, reaching a deadline-beating deal that avoids the embarrassment of Michigan’s governor appointing a financial overseer for City Hall. By a 5-4 vote, the City Council decided to allow Michigan officials monitor and have input into how to fix Detroit’s broken finances. Facing a $200 million deficit and $13.2 billion in long-term structural debt, the city is at risk of running out of cash by the end of May. Gov. Rick Snyder had given the city until Thursday to sign off on the agreement or risk the appointment of an emergency manager to take over. The deal was expected to be signed by Snyder and Mayor Dave Bing, who was readmitted to a hospital Wednesday as a precaution because of discomfort following surgery to correct a perforated colon. Although many of the details are unclear, the agreement lets Bing and the council keep authority over the city’s finances and budget. However, they would be required to renegotiate recently ratified union concessions and share decisionmaking with a newly hired project manager and chief financial officer. A nine-member board would monitor the city’s fiscal restructuring. “The Detroit City Council’s vote … represents a pivotal moment in Detroit’s history,” Deputy Mayor Kirk Lewis said in a statement. “It is time now to begin the monumental task of stabilizing Detroit’s financial operations. “The mayor and his administration worked with the City Council and the state to develop a consent agreement that we believe puts us on track to restructure our
city financially and re-establish an infrastructure to make sure Detroit never faces these financial conditions again.” Snyder released a statement crediting the council for acting “responsibly to put Detroit on the path to financial stability.” “We all want Detroit to succeed,” Snyder said. “.. While the council’s action is a positive step, there’s no doubt that much work remains. The magnitude of the city’s financial challenges means that many difficult decisions lie ahead.” The Detroit case is the highest-profile yet involving a controversial year-old Michigan law that gives the state more power to intervene in financially troubled cities and school systems. Emergency managers have the power to toss out union contracts and strip locally elected leaders of authority. A petition drive aimed at overturning the Michigan law is trying to qualify for the November ballot. The former manufacturing giant has been floundering financially for years, partly due to the ups and downs of Detroit’s automakers and a declining tax base as people and businesses left the city. Past leaders also failed to curtail spending and cut jobs to keep pace with losses in revenue. When Bing took office in 2009, the city’s deficit topped $300 million. He has since cut 2,000 jobs through layoffs and by not filling open positions. The deal reached Wednesday compels Detroit to meet timelines in putting together city budgets and to accurately update revenue predictions. City departments are expected to be slimmed down or consolidated if savings can be made. Work currently performed by some unionized employees could be outsourced to save money.

Troy’s Goldner gets 600th, 601st victories Staff Reports CLAYTON — It’s been a special couple of days for Troy tennis coach Mark Goldner. Troy knocked off LaSalle 4-1 in a OTCA Team Tournament match on Tuesday, and followed that up with a 5-0 victory at Northmont on Wednesday. That win over LaSalle? Goldner’s 600th victory at Troy.
MIAMI COUNTY “I never dreamed I’d be doing this for this long, so I never dreamed I’d have this many,” Goldner said. “Troy as a town has pretty good tradition with tennis. We’ve had good tradition and good players here.” This season is Goldner’s 42nd with the Trojans — mostly with the boys, but also the past few seasons with the girls. “By getting involved with the girls team, that kind of picked up the pace,” Goldner said modestly. “About 553 of those wins are with the boys, and maybe 48 are with the girls.” At first singles on Tuesday, Luke Oaks won 6-0, 6-0. At second singles, Reid Wynkoop won 6-0, 6-1. At first doubles, Sean

Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto smiles during batting practice before an exhibition game against the Reds Futures minor league team Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Bulldogs bounce back
Hammer Indians Votto gets big payday heading into opening day in SWBL play
CINCINNATI (AP) — Former Reds infielder Doug Flynn remembers opening day 1975, when he sidled up next to Pete Rose by the dugout railing and checked out the capacity crowd at Riverfront Stadium. His first opening day in Cincinnati was one of his best. “I was in the big leagues,” Flynn said, standing in the dugout at Great American Ball Park. “I was so pumped up! “You remember the good ones, and the bad ones.” Flynn’s team started on its way to a World Series championship in 1975. The current Reds have reason to think they could be a contender as well when they get started against the Miami Marlins today. They’ve already had their first big payday. First baseman Joey Votto agreed to a contract on Wednesday that added 10 years
and $225 million while keeping him under contract through 2023 and makes him the face of the franchise. Fans will get their first chance to recognize the long-term commitment during pregame introductions. “It means a lot not only for the franchise but also for the city,” manager Dusty Baker said. “It means kids can grow up emulating him and pretending to be Joey Votto.” The Reds won’t be the only big spenders on the field. The Marlins changed their name, moved into a new ballpark and spent $191 million to acquire NL batting champion Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and closer Heath Bell in the offseason. They also hired manager Ozzie Guillen to oversee the on-field transition. After opening their new ballpark against the defending World Series champion St. Louis
Cardinals on Wednesday night —and losing to the Cardinals 41 — the Marlins were looking forward to getting into a routine in Cincinnati. “Get out of here and relax a little,” Guillen said. “The last couple of days have been crazy. There has been a lot going on. I felt like I was in the World Series again a little bit.” After their game today, the Reds and Marlins have a day off before getting back into a more normal schedule. “I think everybody is going to look forward to getting on the flight and getting to Cincinnati, especially with that off day,” said Buehrle, who goes against right-hander Johnny Cueto in the opener. First, they’ll get to experience one of baseball’s most traditional openers. Baseball’s first

CARLISLE — After a fluke of a Monday performance, the Milton-Union Bulldogs made sure the Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division knows that they’re back. Milton-Union (7-2, 2-1 SWBL Buckeye) hammered Carlisle 134 Wednesday, jumping out to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning … a big turnaround from a 10-0 run-rule loss to Madison on Monday.
MIAMI COUNTY “I don’t know if that was even my team on Monday. I don’t know if aliens came down and took them away or what,” MiltonUnion coach Curt Schaefer said. “I know it’s spring break, and I know we beat up on (Madison) twice last year, so maybe the girls

Jared going pro OSU’s Sullinger leaving for NBA
No Irving? Big issues for Cavs Monta Ellis scored 16 of his 30 points in the final 5 minutes, helping the Milwaukee Bucks fend off a Cleveland team missing Kyrie Irving for a 107-98 victory Wednesday night. The Bucks have won four of their past five to close within a game of New York for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. See Page A18.
COLUMBUS (AP) — After guiding Ohio State to the Final Four, two-time All-American forward Jared Sullinger figured he might as well see what he could do for an NBA team. The 6-foot-9 sophomore announced on Wednesday that he is giving up his final two seasons with the Buckeyes to make himself available for the NBA draft in June. Most projections have him going in the top 10 picks. “Going to the Final Four with a team that many people said we AP PHOTO weren’t good enough, weren’t Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger (0) shoots over Kansas’ Elijah strong enough, weren’t mentally Johnson (15), Travis Releford (24), Thomas Robinson (0) and Jeff tough enough, and still being Withey (5) during the second half of an NCAA Final Four semifinal able to get to the Final Four with game Saturday in New Orleans. all the ups and downs we had, I
think that was tremendous for this basketball team,” Sullinger said, flanked by his parents and coach Thad Matta. “Once we got to the Final Four, we were trying to win it. But unfortunately, we fell short. I feel at peace with the decision I’m making.” The Buckeyes lost to Kansas 64-62 in the national semifinals on Saturday. Sullinger averaged 17.5 points and 9.2 rebounds a game while shooting 52 percent from the field, 77 percent at the line and 40 percent on 3-pointers while leading the Buckeyes to a 31-8 record and a Final Four berth. He was 63-10 as a starter.

Pitched in five major league games last season, including a masterful seveninning performance in Game 1 of the division series.
One of the majors’ best pitching prospects. He went 15-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 25 games for Triple-A Gwinnett last season.
Rangers shelled out more than $111 million to bring in Darvish, who had a 93-38 record with a 1.99 ERA over the past seven seasons in Japan.
The 26-year-old Cuban slugger surprised much of baseball when he agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract with the small-market A’s.
The talented young hitter batted .328 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 18 games with the Yankees, who traded him to Seattle in January.
Loaded in the outfield, the 20-year-old speedster might begin the year in the minors. Going to be hard to keep the multitalented player off the ML roster.

Reds professional team gets to open at home each year, and turns the day into a spring holiday complete with a downtown parade — former Reds third baseman Aaron Boone is this year’s grand marshal — and children skipping school. Shortstop Zack Cozart is in line to become the Reds’ first rookie shortstop to start a season opener since Frank Duffy in 1971.
Reds are hoping to make it back to the playoffs this year while starting a pair of prospects at two pivotal positions. Cozart hit .324 with two homers before injuring his non-throwing elbow last season. Mesoraco is regarded as one of the majors’ best catching prospects.

The Miami Marlins spent lavishly this winter trying to improve their playoff chances under manager Ozzie Guillen, by reeling in All-Star free agents Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell.

ith the off-season signings of two of baseball’s top free agents, 2012 marks a prominent transfer of power from the National League to the American. The Angels landed three-time MVP Albert Pujols after missing the playoffs two years in a row. The blockbuster signing adds to a formidable Halos’ lineup that includes Torii Hunter and Kendrys Morales, who swatted 34 bombs in 2009 but missed most of the past two seasons after breaking his ankle during a walk-off grand slam celebration. The Tigers reeled in Prince Fielder (38 home runs in 2011) after losing Victor Martinez to a season-ending knee injury. Thanks to the bold acquisition, Comerica is now home to a fearsome power tandem, with Fielder joining AL batting champion Miguel Cabrera (.344 average and 30 home runs last season).

“It’s something that coming up as a baseball player ever since I was 6 years old you dream of it,” Cozart said. “And it’s finally happening for me. I’m excited for me. I’m also excited for this team. We believe we’re just as good as anybody.” He’s got about 10 relatives coming up from Tennessee, and they’ve researched the history of opening day in Cincinnati so they can fully appreciate it.
“A lot of family wanted to know what the festivities were so they can get in and do the stuff as much as anybody,” he said. “They know it’s going to be a fun time.” Third baseman Scott Rolen turned 37 years old on Wednesday and is approaching the final year on his contract, making this opening day a little extra special. He acknowledged he’ll be nervous at the start of the game.
Rolen, who had surgery on his left shoulder in August, feels good as the start of his third full season with Cincinnati. “I’m comfortable with my health and my shoulder and where it is,” he said. “Going through spring training, five days in I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I was healthy all the way through.” Everybody feels good on opening day.
Marlins fall 4-1 MIAMI (AP) — The sellout crowd in the Miami Marlins’ new ballpark cheered the introduction of their starters, who were accompanied by women dressed as Latin showgirls. There was another roar for Muhammad Ali, who delivered the first pitch. Then Kyle Lohse and the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals went to work, and the place grew
quiet. Lohse held Miami hitless until the seventh inning and pitched into the eighth to help the Cardinals win the first game in Marlins Park, 41 Wednesday night. The Marlins’ new animated home-run sculpture never budged. It was the fourth inning before they even managed a baserunner, and by the time they scored in the eighth, they trailed 4-0.

Sullinger ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 “I’ve always said he’s one of the most intellectual players I’ve ever coached,” Matta said. “He came in that way as a freshman. The thing is that people don’t know he studies the game. Not only the college game, but the NBA game. He can tell you a lot about a lot of NBA issues. For him, the timing is definitely right.” Sullinger’s father, Satch, was his coach at national
power Northland High School in Columbus. He believed the youngest of his three sons, all of whom played Division I basketball, had the ability to play in the NBA. But he also knew he wasn’t ready a year ago when Jared was considered a top-five pick. “The skill set’s always been there. But last year, at this time, I wasn’t comfortable as a parent with the option of him possibly going to the NBA,” Satch
Sullinger said. “Jared’s had it pretty easy in basketball, he’s been relatively injury free. This year I watched the peaks and valleys and I watched him mature. There’s only one way to get experience and that’s by being inexperienced in a situation. I watched him be immature in certain things and work his way out of it. I saw that consistency start to come back during the end of the season run all the way through the Final
Four.” Jared Sullinger came back for his sophomore season with a dramatically different team — missing three senior starters from a top-ranked team that finished 34-3 — and with a dramatically different body. He shed 25 pounds and was much more mobile. Rather than get all of his points with his back to the basket on the block, he frequently popped outside to shoot over defenders. He became
one of the Buckeyes’ top 3point threats. He battled through back spasms and a foot injury early in the year. Sullinger was at his best down the stretch, scoring a huge basket in the closing seconds at Northwestern that kept the Buckeyes in the Big Ten title hunt. They then won at Michigan State in the final regular-season game to tie Michigan State and Michigan for the championship.
Deshaun Thomas, a 6-7 sophomore at Ohio State, is also considering the NBA. Matta said he was still compiling information for Thomas, who is mulling his decision. Sullinger said he had not spoken to his teammate. Sullinger’s brothers, J.J., who played at Ohio State, and Julian, a former Kent State player, were also in attendance at the news conference. Jared said they made his decision easier.

TROY
Of the 144 placers at the 2012 junior high state wrestling tournament, Troy Christian had two. Under the direction of Steve Goudy and Randy Thome, both Troy Christian Wrestling Club coaches, Michael Sergent (108) went 5-3 and placed eighth, while Alex Gainer (138) went 6-2 over the two days of wrestling to end up with seventh place. There were 2,100 competitors who qualified in 18 weight classes at the tournament, held March 10-11, at the Covelli Center, in Youngstown. Five Troy Christian wrestlers qualified for the state tournament through placement at the district tournament in Tipp City: Jansen Love (108), Sergent, Chase Mayabb (120), Gainer and Levi Sims (154). “This is the toughest junior high tournament in the country. To qualify and compete in it is a big honor, and to place there is an even bigger accomplishment,” Troy Christian High School coach Ty Morgan said. Unlike the high school state tournament that has three divisions depending on school size, the junior high tournament has no divisions. “The kids who are placing at the junior high state tournament are the Ohio high school state placers of tomorrow.”
The fact that the two placers in this year’s junior high tournament were Sergent and Gainer is a unique tribute to the Troy Christian wrestling program. The duo started wrestling together at the age of five under the direction of coach Randy Thome and have wrestled and trained together ever since. “There is something really special about working and training with the same wrestlers for so many years and then seeing all of their hard work pay off. It’s a huge blessing, and I am very proud of both young men,” said Thome, President of the TC Wrestling Club. Sergent, currently a seventh grader, hopes to find himself in the finals of the junior high state tournament next year, while Gainer, an eighth grader, has already begun to train for high school competition. “Knowing what Troy Christian wrestling can accomplish as a team next year has motivated me to become an even better wrestler and to step up and help my team win a state title,” Gainer said. “With two current high school state champions, as well as two other current state placers returning to the team, there really is no limit as to what the team can accomplish next year,” Morgan said.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Monta Ellis scored 16 of his 30 points in the final 5 minutes, helping the Milwaukee Bucks fend off a Cleveland team missing Kyrie Irving for a 107-98 victory Wednesday night. Jennings Brandon scored 19 points, and Ersan Ilyasova added 18 for Milwaukee. The Bucks have won four of their past five to close within a game of New York for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks were off Wednesday. Anthony Parker had a season-high 27 points for the Cavaliers, who have lost nine straight and 12 of 13. Cleveland looked lost at times without Irving, who reinjured his sprained right shoulder Tuesday night in a blowout loss to San Antonio. Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said before the game that he has considered shutting Irving down for the final few weeks of the season. Antawn Jamison scored 17 points for Cleveland on 6-of-17 shooting. It was the first of five straight home games for the Bucks and that isn’t necessarily a good thing, given the fact that the Bucks are 13-12 at home, even after starting the season 7-2. Wednesday night’s win might not have happened without the late scoring surge by Ellis, who had

Milwaukee Bucks’ Monta Ellis, right, steals the ball from Cleveland Cavaliers Anthony Parker, left, during the second half Wednesday in Milwaukee. Milwaukee’s last eight baskets beginning at the 4:30 mark. Ellis and Jennings provided an early highlight midway through the third quarter, when Ellis came up with a steal, charged out on a fast break and flipped the ball up for an alley-oop slam by Jennings. Milwaukee led 79-68 going into the fourth. Alonzo Gee scored on a putback to cut the lead to
nine early in the fourth, but Milwaukee answered with an 8-0 run that included a pair of layups by Jennings. Cleveland answered with a 7-0 run and trailed by 10 with 6:20 left, and cut the lead to six at 93-87 on Jamison’s 3pointer. Ellis answered with a driving layup the second basket in his late scoring spurt and took over from there, knocking down six more jumpers to end the
game. Milwaukee appeared to have the game under control early on. With the Bucks already leading by 11 early in the second quarter, backup forward Larry Sanders played a critical role in an 8-0 run. Sanders drove for a layup, then blocked Omri Casspi’s shot on the other end, allowing the Bucks to get out on a fast break. Beno Udrih hit a pull-up jumper.

At first doubles, Cothran and Schmitt defeated Spencer DuBro and Royce Thomas 6-0, 6-1. At second doubles, Alexander and Thompson defeated Aryel Solis and Andrew Dorsten 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. For Goldner, it’s just two more in a long line. “In 1971 I coached JV, and I’ve been fortunate to only have one losing season in all that time,” Goldner
said. “That speaks volumes for the type of players Troy has been able to generate.” How long before No. 700? “Oh heavens, who knows?” he said with a laugh. “We’re taking this one year at a time.” Troy hosts Centerville today. M-U 3, Lehman 2 WEST MILTON — The day after blanking Dixie 50 for its first Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division win of the season, Milton-Union (4-1) handed a talented Lehman (4-1) team its first loss on the

Jessica Booher was 2 for 5 with a double and two RBIs, Ashley Smith was 2 for 3 with two RBIs — and pitched the final three innings — Kelsey Flory doubled and had two RBIs, Christine Heisey had two RBIs and Haley Martens was 3 for 5.
