Newton waiting for answers Decision on all-day, every-day kindergarten hinges on state funding BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Despite more favorable changes to the education budget made by the Ohio House of Representatives, Newton Local School officials said they are still on the fence about whether to go forward with an all-day, every-day

PLEASANT HILL kindergarten program for the district. At the regular board of education meeting Wednesday, Superintendent Pat McBride said he still is waiting on a clear answer from the Ohio Department of Education if kindergarten students will be funded as a full-time student in 2013-2014 for the district to justify the costs of implementing the program. Currently, school districts receive only half of state funding of a full-time student for kindergarten students due to half-day programs. In 2010, the state attempted to man-

date all-day, every-day kindergarten or districts had to submit a waiver due to lack of space, revenue or other barriers. McBride said at the time, the district was in the middle of construction of the Newton School building and therefore applied for the waiver to keep the half-day kindergarten program. McBride said now the district is in a financially stable state, compared to other public school districts, and have ample classroom space and resources to implement the program, but McBride said he still wants to wait and see

Play ball, unless you’re bad at it As I was driving home from work the other day, I happened to pass a little league baseball team practicing on the diamond near Heywood Elementary School. The memories started washing over me as I watched those tiny sluggers running around the field — the crack of the bat, the smell of the grass, the glare of the sun … but mostly, the splinters in my rear end from sitting on the bench.

SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) — A gunman who was having financial problems held four firefighters for hours in a suburban Atlanta home, demanding his cable and power be turned back on, before being shot dead when SWAT members stormed the house, authorities said Wednesday. The hostages had cuts and bruises from explosions officers set off to distract the gunman before moving in, but they will be fine, a fire official said. Minutes before the police announcement on the resolution, a huge blast could be heard a quartermile away from the home, shuddering through the Suwanee neighborhood, setting off car alarms. Earlier Wednesday, five firefighters responded to what seemed like a routine medical call and were eventually taken hostage by an unidentified suspect inside the house, police said. The gunman released one of the firefighters to move a fire truck but held the other four. Dozens of police and rescue vehicles surrounded the home and a negotiator was keeping in touch with the gunman, police said. The situation remained tense until the blast rocked the neighborhood of mostly two-story homes and wellkept lawns. Residents unable to get into their neighborhood because of the police cordon flinched and recoiled as the enormous blast went off. Soon after the stun blast, officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect and a SWAT member was shot in the hand or arm, but should be fine, said Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter. Ritter would not saw how the gunman was fatally shot, saying it was being investigated. “The explosion you heard was used to distract the suspect, to get into the house and take care of business,” Ritter said in a news conference minutes after the resolution. He said the situation had gotten to the point where authorities believed the lives of the hostages were in “immediate danger.”

The gunman, who has not been identified, demanded several utilities be restored, Ritter said. According to public records, the home is in foreclosure and has been bank-owned since midNovember. “It’s an unfortunate circumstance we did not want this to end this way,” Ritter said. “But with the decisions this guy was making, this was his demise.” Firefighters were able to use their radios to let the dispatch center know what was going on, said Fire Capt. Tommy Rutledge said, and Ritter said officials decided to “get control of the situation” and do it swiftly. Rutledge said the med-

ical call seemed routine and firefighters did not believe there was any danger. One engine and one ambulance responded. Ritter said authorities didn’t yet know if the suspect may have faked a heart attack or some other problem to bring the firefighters to his home. “Our firefighters responded to a call they respond to hundreds of times, and that’s a medical emergency,” Rutledge said. Two ambulances could be seen leaving after the gunfire ended. Asked what kind of weapon or weapons the suspect had, Ritter said he didn’t immediately know. He said investigators were in the house where the suspect’s body remained.

A police officer leaves the scene after an explosion and gunshots were heard near the scene where a man was holding four firefighters hostage Wednesday, in Suwanee, Ga. A police spokesman said the suspect was dead and none of the hostage suffered serious injuries.

Newton • CONTINUED FROM 1 if it will be confirmed that the program will be fully funded. “You can’t count on the Ohio Department of Eduction for a solid answer,” McBride said, explaining an email from the ODE neither confirmed or denied that kindergarten would be fully funded in 2013-2014. McBride said an education budget most likely won’t be passed until late June, but if the district should happen to go forward with a resolution from the board, a decision should be made as soon as possible. McBride and treasurer Nick Hamilton estimated the cost of offering the all day, every day option would be approximately $45,000 for salary and benefits. If the kindergarten program is fully funded, the costs would be fully funded by state aid. Thanks to lobbying by superintendents, board members and treasures, including treasurer Hamilton, met with House of Representatives officials and chairs of the committees to voice their opposition to the governor’s budget.

“The governor came out with his (education budget) proposal on Jan. 31 with a bunch of hoopla, and we were all happy for about six days and it was going to be fully funded and we were going to get more money and see the light of the end of the tunnel — that didn’t happen,” McBride said. “Sixty-percent of schools got 0 percent and we went from a $20,000 guarantee to $332,000 on the guarantee and we heard that through the governor that he was going to do away with guarantees in two years. So, if you follow that trail, it could, and still can, lead to a reduction in funds in a couple of years.” The recent changes made by the House of Representatives will provide a one hundred percent guarantee of fiscal year funding for both years as proposed, and will cap increases at six percent in both years. The governor’s proposal allowed increases as high as 17 percent for schools such as Piqua and Troy City Schools in Miami County and other rural districts like Newton at 0 percent. The Senate has yet to act and provide its revisions to Gov. Kasich.

“(Representative Jim Buchey) really became a great advocate for us, and schools like us on the school funding issue, and I think he made his voice known,” McBride said. “A lot of those ideas we shared are portrayed in this new simulation,” Hamilton said. McBride said he hopes to have more answers for a recommendation at the next board of education meeting in May.

The board approved to renew Paige Johnson as head bus driver for 2013-2014 year on a one-year contract at step eight, at the board-approved salary schedule with an additional amount of $5,239 for the position. The board approved several field trips including an overnight field trip for junior high band and choir at Great Wolf Lodge on May 18 for the OMEA state concert band and choir competition and overnight for the senior class to Kings Island/Great Wolf Lodge on May 22. The board approved Donna Russell as a volunteer junior high softball coach.

Board discusses upcoming events BY CECILIA FOX For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

There will be plenty to do in Tipp City parks this summer as well as several new developments in store for the future. The Tipp City Parks Advisory Board met Monday night to discuss upcoming events and several possible construction projects. The board approved several grant applications for new projects in the city’s parks. They include an Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) grant for playground equipment, a Community Development Block Grant application for a handicapped walkway in Kyle Park, and an ODNR recreational trails grant. City Engineer Scott Vagedes asked the board to look at two play equipment options for City Park: a smaller unit that, after grant money is applied, will cost the city about $21,000 and a larger unit that will cost almost twice as much. After considering the parks budget, which is $25,000 a year to be used for both Kyle and City Parks, the board decided to move forward with the application for the smaller playground unit. City council agreed on the smaller unit in February and sent the proposal to the parks board for their approval. The unit includes a slide and climbing apparatus. The board also approved the application for another project, a Community Development Block Grant that the city plans to use to construct a handicapped walkway in Kyle Park to service the western baseball and softball quads. Tipp City will be competing with other area communities for CDBG funding, but Vagedes believes a project extending handicapped services in Kyle Park has a good chance of getting funded. The estimated cost of the project is $27,000 and if it is approved, it will

be a spring 2014 construction project. CDBG funds have been used by Tipp City in the past on the Municipal Building to replace the wiring, roof repairs and bathroom renovations, and repaint the exterior. CDBG grants also funded installation of a driveway, 10 handicapped parking spaces, and a paved walkway to the ADA compliant bathrooms in Kyle Park between the baseball quads in 2010. The proposed project will expand on that project by adding a paved walkway between the quads. Another approved application will go to ODNR, for a grant to build a walking trail through Lesher Woods. The board also heard Sycamore Woods resident Greg Schultz’s request to add playground equipment or a basketball court to the open green space in his neighborhood. He collected more than 30 signatures from neighbors in support of his proposal. Schultz explained that his children and many others in his neighborhood would benefit from having a place to play. The open field that is there now gets a little boring, he said. Citing concerns about noise and limited space, the board recommended that Schultz gather more support from neighbors, come up with a cost estimate and layout, and come back to the board’s next meeting in May. Because funding for community parks is limited, the board also suggested that Schultz explore fundraising options. Board Chairman Pat Hodges said that the board wasn’t saying “absolutely no,” but that they needed more time to consider the proposal. Summer festivals The board also approved several community festivals, a bike tour, and the third annual dog frisbee tournament. Both the Tipp City United Methodist Church and the Church of

TIPP CITY

the Nazarene will be hosting community events in the parks this summer. On June 15 in Tweed Woods Park and on August 3 in Kyle Park, the Church of the Nazarene will be throwing community parties that are open to all residents. Pastor Brian Reinicke said that if these events are successful, he would like for them to become annual events. Tipp City United Methodist will be hosting their second annual community festival on August 18 in City Park. That morning, before the festival begins, they will hold services at the Roundhouse. This event is open to all Tipp City residents. The third annual Buckeye Bash frisbee dog tournament will be held in Kyle Park again this summer. Hosted by the Southern Ohio Flying K9s, frisbee dogs and their owners will travel from all over the midwest to compete for two days in June. The event will be held at Kyle Park on June 8-9. More information about the tournament can be found at www.flyingk9s.org. The board also approved the use of Kyle Park as a pit stop for the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, a week long cycling tour of West Central Ohio. Upwards of 2,500 cyclists could pass through Tipp City on their 50 mile a day bicycle journey which begins and ends in Urbana. A rest area will be set up in Kyle Park on June 16 for the cyclists. Those interested in joining the adventure can register at www.goba.com. In other business, The Veteran’s Park memorial statue will be ready for installation by the end of April. An unveiling ceremony will be planned to celebrate. And in City Park, new corn hole courts will soon be installed near the Roundhouse. Residents can bring their own bags or, if they rent out the Roundhouse, can use the bags provided. The courts were purchased as part of the parks budget.

AS I SEE IT

Keep your faith; leave your hate BY JACOB PYTEL Edison Community College Student Faith, religion and a belief in a higher power — three different names for roughly the same thing, a belief in some form of a deity that has created and watches over the faithful humans of the planet earth. In the world today, there are many, many different religions ranging from Christianity, the largest of them with several billion followers, to smaller, more native belief systems that preach of almost supernatural stories and myths. Now, the thing about most of these religions is As I that the vast majority of them have one thing in See It common: they preach peace in some form or another.

I’m no revolution leader, all I ask and say is to love each other despite differences, and love your neighbor as yourself. I am not of a “hippy” agenda either; feel free to judge others, just not by what symbol they wear on their necklace. When asked about this subject on a personal level, I describe the relationship between me and my best friends. These people consist of atheists, Christians and gays. Yet, somehow, we all seem to not only get along but also to lean on each other and to love each other as whom the other person is. My closest of these friends, a die-hard atheist, and I have had several religion talks on several occasions and it always seems to boil down a central theme; we are friends of who we are, not what we are. He knows my beliefs and I know his, and that is OK with him and it is OK with me. So, I ask the reader of this article, whether you be a Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist or what have you, to look at yourself and the people around you. We are all human, no matter the color or complexity of the cover that nature gave us.

DOONESBURY

Play ball — unless, of course, you are really bad at it As I was driving home from work the other day, I happened to pass a little league baseball team practicing on the diamond near Heywood Elementary School. The memories started washing over me as I watched those tiny sluggers running around the field — the crack of the bat, the smell of the grass, the glare of the sun … but mostly, the splinters in my rear end from sitting on the bench. For many, little league is one of the best times in a young boy’s life. For me, it was two of the most painful, humiliating years of my entire life (until, of course, I got to junior high school). In a lifetime filled with failed attempts at sports (all of them), I was, by far, the worst at baseball. Which, considering my soccer career (six goals allowed in one quarter while playing goalie in the fourth grade), wrestling career (pinned in every match in seventh grade) and basketball career (six points in two years in the fifth and sixth grades) is saying something. So while other grown men may get misty-eyed when opening day rolls around, if my eyes are moist, it’s probably because I’m crying tears of shame. I didn’t always hate baseball, mind you. When I signed up and

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor started playing for Galbreath Realty, I was as giddy as a school girl. I couldn’t wait to put on my dark brown uniform (not sure who thought that was a good idea), pull my cap down low over my eyes, pound my fist into my mitt, spit liberally and scratch inappropriately. I was all about becoming a baseball player and trying to emulate my favorite player, the Cincinnati Reds’ Dave Concepcion. Then I had my first at-bat. I got hit by a pitch, which pretty much ended any and all desire I had to ever play baseball again. We were playing Main Pharmacy (which had equally bad purple uniforms) and I got plunked on the very first pitch I faced. Instead of walking down to first base, I probably should have just walked off the field, never to return. For all intents and purposes, I was done. I spent the next two years

quaking every time the ball came near me. No matter the situation, I didn’t want to be anywhere near the ball. The way I figured it, getting hit with a baseball hurt. I don’t like things that hurt. Hence, I tried to avoid getting hurt by a baseball as much as possible. When I was batting, a pitch could be thrown right down the middle of the plate — but I was bailing out of the batter’s box, quite certain I was going to get plunked again. One time when I did manage to swing the bat and it connected with the ball on accident, I was thrown out at first base because I slowed down as I got close — afraid the fielder was going to hit me with the ball in his attempt to throw it to the first baseman. It wasn’t any better in the field, either. Whenever a ball was hit toward me in rightfield — and trust me, I always played rightfield — I would have just as soon run the other way as tried to catch it. It got to the point where I would cover my face with one hand and hold my glove out with the other, hoping the ball might just fall into my glove. Still, though, my parents made me keep playing for two years. As bad as the games and practices were, however, nothing was worse than the picnic at the

end of the year. The coach called each player up and would talk about his contributions to the team. To this day, I still remember what he said as I was standing there in front of everyone: “David really came on at the end of the year. He had some nice foul tips that would have been hits if he could have straightened them out a little bit. And he got some nice walks for us in key situations. He really had a good eye for the ball.” That’s right, he found a way to compliment a kid who went two years without getting a single hit. It was the most condescending, humiliating moment of my sports career (which, again, is saying something). I think I would have preferred it had he gone ahead and said, “Well, he was awful, but at least he didn’t cost us too many games when he is in rightfield playing the minimum amount of innings required by the league.” In a few weeks, little league season will get rolling here in Troy. I hope all the kids have great seasons. Or at least learn how to write about baseball while sitting on the bench. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Play ball!

Mystery biscuits a delicious treat

This Sept. 23, 2012 publicity photo provided by Twisted Oak Winery shows the vineyards and winery (www.twistedoak.com) in Vallecito, Calif. Jeff Stai, owner of Twisted Oak winery, has sold online for years, including lately through Amazon and Facebook. Twisted Oak is licensed to sell in 30 states and although the tasting room accounts for the bulk of sales, about 20 percent of his business is from outside California and Nevada.

Click, swirl, sip? The internet is blossoming into quite the virtual vineyard. Online wine options are everywhere, from flash sale sites like Lot18 offering daily deals to Facebook prodding you to send a little something for Aunt Suzy’s birthday. And now there’s a new generation of startups such as Club W, which adds a little algorithm to your albarino, using surveys and ratings to figure out what you might like to drink next. The click-and-sip approach seems to be catching on, says Jeff Carroll of ShipCompliant, a Boulder, Colo.-based company that helps wineries comply with shipping laws. “Wine is a unique product and it lends itself well to the social aspects of the Internet in terms of discovery.” Online sales have been around for a while, with individual wineries selling wine through their websites, a practice that has become more prevalent as more states relax Prohibition-era laws that had banned alcohol shipments. Today, only seven states have an outright ban on direct-to-consumer ship-

Opponents generally cite concerns that alcohol will be delivered to underage drinkers; proponents say age verification tools and adult signature requirements on delivery prevent that. Jeff Stai, owner of Twisted Oak winery, a winery based in the foothills of the Sierra in Northern California, has sold online for years, including lately through Amazon and Facebook. Twisted Oak is licensed to sell in 30 states and though the tasting room accounts for the bulk of sales, about 20 percent of his business is from outside California and Nevada. Stai jokes that he’s “not shoveling money into the bank,” from third party site sales, but they do provide a steady stream of orders. Twisted Oak also sells wine directly from its own website, going back about nine years and that has steadily increased, especially during the past two years, Stai says. “It went from, ‘Oh, look, we have an order today,’ to ‘We’ve got orders every day.’”

Verena and Lovina are making egg salad. The children colored 10 dozen eggs for Easter so this is a good way to use them up. The dandelion greens are not out yet so we can’t make dandelion green salad with the leftover eggs 7:30 p.m. — We are finally ready to have supper. On the menu are egg salad sandwiches and I made rare beef. Rare beef is steak sliced really and then,deep fried only a few seconds on each side. If you have your oil really hot and smoking it will not leave your meat rare. It is very tender if fixed right. We put salt and pepper on each side before we deep fry it. 9:30 p.m. — Everyone is cleaned up and ready to call it a day. God’s blessings to all.

tal catalog. Relative newcomer Club W tries to anticipate what customers want by basing selections on information gathered from surveys on customer flavor preferences along with their ratings of wines already purchased. Club W CEO and cofounder Xander Oxman says the idea is to combine the convenience of a traditional wine club shipment with the personalized experience made possible by tools that capture a buyer’s likes and dislikes. The club, which sends out monthly shipments of three bottles for $39, aims to appeal to casual drinkers, who usually shop for wine at supermarkets or liquor stores. In its first nine months, Club W sold more than 100,000 bottles of wine, Oxman says. Though it’s easier to ship wine across state lines now than it was 10 years ago, there still are numerous legal challenges being played out and some state legislators are looking at bills that could restrict third-party sales.

ping, though some of the states that do allow shipping have various restrictions, and 89 percent of the U.S. population has access to direct-to-consumer sales, according to Steve Gross of the San Francisco-based Wine Institute, a trade association. What’s changed is the rise of third-party sites run by companies that don’t make wine, like Lot18.com, which offers special deals on wine. These sites got a boost in 2011 when the California Alcohol Beverage Control officials issued guidelines allowing third-party providers to act as agents in the sale of alcohol but requiring wineries to stay in control of the wine, making them responsible for following all the relevant laws. The advisory applies only to California, but was seen as creating a framework that others could follow. “That really changed the dynamic,” says Carroll. Since the guidelines were issued, major Internet retailer Amazon has gotten back in the wine business, its third attempt, and Facebook has added wine to the gifts friends can send each other. Meanwhile, a number of smaller companies have jumped into the market. Thanks to the datagathering and interactive capabilities of the new technology, online sites serve as more than a digi-

5 a.m. — The alarm goes off. I get up because daughter Elizabeth will leave for her job at the factory soon. She has been working a lot of 10-hour days at the factory. 5:15 a.m. — Elizabeth’s ride is here and she leaves. The children are on spring break and my husband Joe is off work this week. Everyone has been taking advantage of their break and sleeping later than usual. I stay up and read and enjoy the peace and quiet. There are not many quiet moments around here this week once everyone is awake. 6:30 a.m. — Joe gets up and I make a pot of coffee for us. Joe goes down to the basement to add coal to the stove. I get sausage out of the freezer to make gravy for breakfast. Daughter Lovina, 8, wants to mix up two batches of mystery biscuits so I help her. 8 a.m. — Breakfast is ready consisting of biscuits, sausage gravy, fried eggs, cheese, orange juice and milk. 8:30 a.m. — Daughters Susan and Verena leave for Susan’s babysitting job. Since Verena is off this week she is enjoying helping Susan with the children. Loretta and Lovina wash dishes and sweep the floors. Joe and I mix up 100 pounds of hamburger and sausage to make summer sausage. We use Dad and Mom’s Canadian summer sausage recipe which calls for 66 pounds of hamburger, 33 pounds of sausage, 5 pounds of white sugar, 4 pounds of salt, 1/3 pound of black pepper, and two ounces of salt petre. Since we couldn’t find salt petre we asked a local meat market for another cure to make summer sausage. We are hoping it will work just as well. We will refrigerate and mix daily for 3 days or so and Joe will then smoke it in our smoker. My dad would always smoke the sausage in a smokehouse he had built. Benjamin, Joseph, and Kevin are hauling out some manure from the barn. 12:15 p.m — We eat a lunch of sandwiches and vegetable soup. 12:45 p.m. — Benjamin, Kevin, and I leave for town. Kevin has a therapy appointment. Benjamin wants to take the cans into the store that him and Joseph collected along the road. The boys collect cans along the roads because here in Michigan they are worth 10 cents apiece. They have made quite a bit of money doing that and it helps keep the roadsides clean. 4 p.m. — We arrive home from town. I put the groceries away. Benjamin goes out to help Joe and

TROY TV-5

Even your boss has a supervisor; check with that person

Today: 5 p.m.: Miami Valley Events Calendar 8 p.m.: Have History Will Travel 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: I work for a small family-owned company, and there are fewer than 10 employees. There is no office cleaning service. For years, one of the employees has been compensated for cleaning the building after hours. This person was recently promoted, but continues to be in charge of the cleaning. That's the problem. For months now, the office has looked like a fraternity house. The trash is overflowing, dust is piling up, and dishes are left in the sink for a week or more. The rumor mill has it that the promotion didn't come with a large enough raise, so this person is now doing the bare minimum of cleaning out of spite. The other employees refuse to lift a finger because they feel the person being paid to do the cleaning is solely responsible. I understand both sides, but at the end of the day, nothing is being done. I get mad at myself and at the person responsible every time I give in and clean up, but otherwise, the office is unpleasant and looks unprofessional. We have clients in daily, and some have commented on the condition of the office. This has caused me undue stress, but it doesn't seem to bother the other employees, especially not the one who is supposedly cleaning. We don't have a human resources department, and I definitely can't go to the person who is supposed to clean, because he is now my supervisor. Help! — Dirty Mess in South Carolina Dear Dirty Mess: Surely your supervisor has a boss. That is the person you need to speak to. You don't have to speculate on the reasons why the cleaning is not being done. Simply say the office is getting messy, clients have noticed, and you think the company might need additional help to clean up after hours. If they do nothing, your decision then is whether to let it pile up, continue picking up after everyone else or find another job. Dear Annie: I believe it is cruel and unusual punishment for department stores, groceries, etc. to force their employees to stand up at all times. These employees are often elderly and need to work due to their financial situation. What is wrong with placing a hip-high stool at each cash register where employees can at least park their rear ends while not busy? I believe employees would be more productive and lose less work due to backaches and sore feet. If managers were forced to stand on their feet for eight hours a day, I believe stools would be brought in by the thousands. — Germantown, Tenn. Dear Germantown: We agree that standing on one's feet all day can be debilitating, even with occasional breaks. We hope managers are reading this and paying attention. Thanks for your concern. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Father Who Can't See His Child," whose daughter, "Linda," hasn't spoken to him in 20 years, and he doesn't know why. She has to reconnect with her dad before it is too late. My husband died two weeks ago after a horrible battle with cancer. He tried for years to reconnect with his children in Canada. As their stepmom, I tried to let them know of his desperate need to be forgiven for "whatever" it was that caused them to stay away. They all knew he was dying. He cried through one short phone call from his daughter. He begged her to come see him, but it never happened. He came away from that phone call even more disappointed and depressed. Our son and I watched him struggle in agony for the last two weeks of his life. He would not let go. He was waiting for those children to come and say goodbye. I beg that daughter, for her sake as well as his, to reconnect before it is too late. She won't regret it. — Grieving in Fort Myers Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Baking soda helps mak cleaning birdbaths a snap Dear Heloise: When cleaning those nasty birdbaths, I sprinkle baking soda into the birdbath with a little water and scrub with an old brush. They always come out sparkling-clean. It’s also nontoxic, inexpensive, quick and easy. Thank you for all the great hints from you and your mom. — Shirley D. in Oregon This hint is just one more way that baking soda comes to the rescue! Birds need water year-round, and birdbaths should be cleaned often to keep diseases from spreading. The water can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes as well, so you do want to change the water once or twice a week to keep it fresh. I wrote my Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes

Hints from Heloise Columnist pamphlet because there are many GREEN ways to use baking soda every day. To receive one, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 782795001. Use baking soda to clean hamster, gerbil, guinea pig and ferret cages. A little water and baking soda will remove odors

and leave the glass nice and clear. Rinse and dry, and their home is clean! — Heloise PAPER PLATES Dear Heloise: I love your column and marvel at the ingenuity that women possess. My hint is about the 150-count paper plates that we purchase at the big warehouse store. They come in a large plastic sleeve, which is secured with a twist-tie. I noticed that when family members would remove plates for usage, the next plate could become soiled from the contact of unclean hands. To remedy this, I keep the plastic sleeve sealed and move the opening around to the bottom of the stack. The bottom paper plate is now at the top. It also makes it

easier to take only one plate off the stack instead of several. — Ronald A. in California CONTACT COMPANIES Dear Heloise: I had a question about a product that I use in my home. I went on the computer and started researching the company’s website. I never knew how much information is available. I was even able to “talk” to a representative of the company by email. I asked my question, got a response, and when all was done, I received $8 in coupons for the product and a recipe book. When I have time, I now go on other websites of my favorite products, and the coupons and offers that are available are amazing. — Carol D., via email

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, April 12, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Remember that it is your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Don’t be afraid to do your own thing! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your birthday is approaching, which means your personal year is ending. Take time to think about what you want your new year to be all about. How do you want it to be different? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Accept all invitations right now. This is a popular time for you, and it’s important that you enjoy schmoozing with others. Discuss your hopes for the future, because the feedback from others will help. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) People in authority are impressed by you in the next few weeks. You just “look good” to them. If they ask you to take on increased responsibilities, accept. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Explore publishing opportunities, because they exist now and in the next few weeks. Many of you want to make travel plans or get away somewhere different if you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Tidy up loose details about inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance matters. This stuff isn’t going to go away on its own, unfortunately. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Remember that you need more sleep now because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year. (The Sun is your source of energy.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Since you have a strong urge to get better organized, use this to your advantage! Get hold of what you need in order to do a great job — file folders, labels, paint, cleaning equipment, shelving, whatever. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Romance, playful times with children, sports and social diversions are tops on the menu for the next few weeks for you. Get out and enjoy yourself! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Redecorating projects and renovations are the order of the day for you, because your focus is on improving your home. Be patient with family members while this goes on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Short trips and discussions with practically everyone are the stimulation you need now. For some reason, you have a strong urge to enlighten others about your ideas. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Continue to focus on how you can boost your earnings. However, not only are you working hard, you’re spending as well! (Oh my.) YOU BORN TODAY You are responsive to what’s happening in society, which is why many of you are involved in groups and causes. Invariably, you’re a leader. You stay abreast of current events and often are a spokesperson for others, especially the downtrodden. Sometimes you’re impulsive. In the year ahead, you will work to build or construct something important. Your rewards soon will follow. Birthdate of: Claire Danes, actress; Vince Gill, singer; Andy Garcia, actor.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, April 11, the 101st day of 2013. There are 264 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 11, 1913, Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson, during a meeting of President Woodrow Wilson’s Cabinet, proposed gradually segregating whites and blacks who worked for the Railway Mail Service, a policy which went into effect and spread to other agencies. On this date: • In 1689, William III and Mary II were crowned as joint sovereigns of Britain. • In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte

abdicated as Emperor of the French and was banished to the island of Elba. • In 1921, Iowa became the first state to impose a cigarette tax, at 2 cents a package. • In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the notorious Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in Germany. • In 1970, Apollo 13, with astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert, blasted off on its ill-fated mission to the moon. • In 1983, at the Academy Awards, “Gandhi” was named best picture; its star, Ben Kingsley, won

best actor while Meryl Streep received the best actress Oscar for “Sophie’s Choice.” • Today’s Birthdays: Ethel Kennedy is 85. Actor Joel Grey is 81. Actress Louise Lasser is 74. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Ellen Goodman is 72. Movie writer-director John Milius is 69. Country singer Steve Azar is 49. Singer Lisa Stansfield is 47. Rock musician Dylan Keefe (Marcy Playground) is 43. Actor Johnny Messner is 43. Actress Tricia Helfer is 39. Rock musician Chris Gaylor (The All-American Rejects) is 34. Actress Kelli Garner is 29. Singer Joss Stone is 26.

W.M. council puts focus on improvement

‘A Night in Oz’ More than 670 turn out for MVCTC prom night

BY AMY MAXWELL For the Troy Daily News tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

For the Troy Daily News The 2013 MVCTC Prom “A Night in Oz”, was held in the Student Activity Center on April 6. More than 670 students were in attendance. This year’s prom king and queen were announced near the end of the evening, with seniors Cole Calvert (hospitality services student from Brookville) and Sara Thompson (graphic commercial art senior from Miami East) selected as the reigning prom royalty for 2013. The 2013 Prom Court was made up of a female and male representative from the MVCTC Career Technical Student Organizations. This included the following students: • Morgan Jess (medical lab student from Miami East) and Matthew Kleinshmidt (biotechnology student from Miamisburg) represented the HOSA Chapter. • Kara Mackie (legal assistant student from Twin Valley South) and Tyler Moore (game programming and web applications student from Wayne) represented the BPA Chapter. • Sara Bulach (animal science management student from Eaton) and Tim Terrill (veterinary science student from Miamisburg) represented the FFA Chapter. • Jessica Prior (culinary art student from Miamisburg) and Cole Calvert (hospitality services student from

W.VA.

The West Milton Village Council put several wheels in motion with the common goal of improvement at its meeting Tuesday night. Council authorized Municipal Manger Matt Kline to hire Sharp Conway Architects of Dayton WEST MILTON for an upcoming project pertaining to the West Milton Police Department. “It is the desire of council to improve the facility and working conditions of the West Milton Police Division,” Law Director Charlie Sell explained. “This work should include a universal view of the entire city hall and how the municipality can improve our ability to deliver customer focused efficient services.” The cost of the project will be $12,800. Council also agreed to support the upcoming Milton-Union school levy renewal that will be on the May ballot. “Council recognizes the importance of a high quality educational system as a main ingredient for achieving and maintaining an outstanding and healthy community,” Sell said. “The council of the municipality of West Milton urges all citizens to vote for the school levy to demonstrate the commitment to strong schools and a strong community.” Street Superintendant Ben Herron informed council of some important accomplishments of the streets and grounds department. “We’ve achieved a couple of monumental tasks that Manager Kline and I agreed would be beneficial to inform council and the community of,” Herron said. “Starting in December 2007, the Department of Transportation began a national project enforcing new regulations on signs. Basically those regulations meant important regulatory signs such as stop signs had to have reflective properties on them to ensure they could be seen clearly at night and we really tried to follow those regulations down to the letter to avoid any possible legal issues. I am pleased to report we have finalized this program which was overseen by Maintenance Worker Bob Adams with 100 percent of standards met.” The Streets Department will now focus on the remaining non-regulatory signs, such as street signs. It has completed 15-20 percent of that project. Herron also spoke of measures to save money related to the muncipal’s street cleaner. “Head Maintenance Worker Dusty Lavy has taken money saving measures and done a lot of important maintenance work in-house that has roughly saved us about $20,000,” Herron explained. “We are taking every measure possible to save every dime we can.”

9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

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.

MIAMI COUNTY

TIPP CITY — One minute, Tippecanoe was down by four runs. The next, the game was over — and the Red Devils were smiling. After falling behind Indian Lake 6-2 after the top of the second inning, Tippecanoe exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the inning and wrapped things up early with another five in the bottom of the fourth, run-ruling the Lakers 16-6 Wednesday. “They were up 6-2, then we just came out and scored nine,”

Tippecanoe coach Charles Tackett said. “We went from being down to being in complete control just like that.” And Bri Eichbaum — who struck out five and walked none to get the win — was a big part of that. Eichbaum led the Devils’ offense, going 3 for 3 with two doubles, two runs and five RBIs. Kristin Mace added three hits, three RBIs and two runs, Megan Rittenhouse doubled twice and

Red Devils deliver Tippecanoe shuts out Indian Lake BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Tippecanoe can always count on its pitching. And over the past couple of days, one of those pitchers has delivered in a different way.

Ian Nadolny looks more like someone Troy football coach Scot Brewer would make into a babysitter as opposed to a linebacker. Which just goes to show how deceiving looks can be. “When you look at him, he’s not 6-foot-4, 240-pounds like you would expect a linebacker to be — but he sure plays like it. In some ways, he’s better than those guys because we works harder. He’s not the biggest guy around and he’s got that cute little baby face — but when he steps between the lines, he’s an animal. He does his job and he does it as well as anybody.” The senior Trojan linebacker did his job so well, in fact, that he’s earned the opportunity to play college football. We d n e s d a y, NADOLNY N a d o l n y signed a letter of intent to play football at Georgetown College, an NAIA Division I program in Georgetown, Ky. “I’m really excited about it,” Nadolny said. “When I first started playing (varsity as a sophomore), I wasn’t really sure I would be able to play college football. I was one of the smallest guys out there. But it was always a dream for me and it’s something I kept working for.” What Nadolny lacked in size — he stands 6-foot-2 and weighs in at a lanky 205 pounds — he made up for in aggression and football smarts. He worked his way into the starting line-up as a sophomore outside linebacker on Troy’s 2010 playoff team. He would stay at outside linebacker on Troy’s 2011 playoff team and was a team leader for Troy on the 2012 team. He earned secondteam All-Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division honors his junior and senior seasons. “A lot of kids thought he was my pet — but really, it was more like I was his pet,” Brewer said. “I

AUGUSTA

If you don’t think the Masters golf tournament is a big deal, think again. It is expected that the Masters will be broadcast live in more than 200 countries. Additionally, the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service will

be broadcasting the event to U.S. military installations throughout the world. “Each year, our goal is to deliver meaningful content in a significant way,” said Billy Payne, chairman of the club and the tournament. In addition to information on

the tournament’s official Internet website (Masters.com), television coverage will be the most extensive ever. It began with coverage of the par-3 contest from 5-7 p.m. yesterday. ESPN will broadcast live action from 3-7:30 p.m. today and Friday. CBS will take over from 3-7 p.m. Saturday and 2-7 p.m. Sunday

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 trusted him to make all the calls on defense for us. He put people in position. I’m really going to miss that. He was truly a player-coach for us. He’s the kind of kid who, if something wasn’t working, would come back to you on the sidelines and say, ‘Coach, this isn’t working’ and you could make adjustments. You love having a kid like that on your team.” His smarts don’t end on the football field, either. An excellent student and class officer, Nadolny had a number of options to play college football — but in the end, his decision was as much about academics as it was athletics. He plans on studying civil engineering in college and said Georgetown College was the best fit for him both in the classroom and on the football field.

Be sure to watch in coming issues of the Troy Daily News for more of this year’s college signings. If you have information on a Miami County athlete that has signed to play collegiate athletics, please send a detailed email, including contact information, to either jbrown@civitasmedia.com or colinfoster@ civitasmedia.com

“I like their football program and their academics made it the best choice for me,” Nadolny said. “Academics was very important to me. You are only going to play football for four years in college — after that, you’ve got your whole life to live. It’s a great feeling to be going to college and be able to play football. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I never thought this would be possible.’”

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 had three RBIs, Hannah Beck had two hits, a double, two runs and two RBIs, Cassie Gingerich and Rachel Rusk each had three hits and three runs and Jordynn Kostyal doubled, drove in a run and scored twice. Still, Tackett is hoping that, for the tougher league games that are ahead on the schedule, the Devils won’t need those nine-run comefrom-behind rallies anymore. “We hit,” he said. “These girls are hitting the ball well, but we can’t always rely on that. In the tougher games we’ll be playing soon, we can’t start late. We have to get going from the beginning and settle down defensively. But today in the third, fourth and fifth, that was probably the best we’ve played all year both defensively and hitting-wise.” Tippecanoe returns to action Saturday, hosting Beavercreek and Houston.

Pistons sweep Cavs for year CLEVELAND (AP) — Andre Drummond scored a career-high 29 points and the Detroit Pistons won a second straight game for the first time in two months with a 111-104 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Greg Monroe’s basket with 38.8 seconds remaining gave Detroit a 105-103 lead and the Pistons, who

hadn’t won consecutive games since Feb. 8-9, swept the four-game season series from the Cavaliers. Detroit has beaten Cleveland six straight times. Drummond also grabbed 11 rebounds. Kyrie Irving scored 27 points, including 21 in the second half, but missed a 3pointer that would have given the Cavaliers the lead with 21 seconds left.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 had nine league shutouts, 24 runs total in 16 games. We’ve just always had more pitching than everyone else.” B.J. Donathan also homered for the Devils (8-1, 4-0), who jumped out to a 30 lead after the first inning and let Calhoun handle the rest. After giving up a single and hitting a batter with one out in the top of the first, Calhoun didn’t allow a baserunner again until the seventh, setting down 18 straight hitters. He also struck out 14 in the game, including striking out the side twice and punching out five in a row at one point. “That was the good part today,” Cahill said of Calhoun’s performance. “He was good inside. Still struggling hitting the outside corner a little, so even he can improve a little. But he struck out 14, had a pitch count of (91) — that’s where we want to be right now.” And with Langdon unable to pitch for an undetermined amount of time, Calhoun’s outing is even bigger. “We’re going to have to count on him (Calhoun),” Cahill said. “We’re more than capable still, with Steven, Cole (Quillen), Ben (Hughes) and even beyond those guys.” Until Langdon figures out the extent of his injury, though, he’s going to take his frustrations out on the baseball. After Austin Hadden led off the game for the Devils with a single, moved to second on a groundout and scored on an RBI single by Hughes, Langdon — who also homered in Tippecanoe’s 7-0 win at Stebbins on Tuesday — teed off on a 2-2 pitch, yanking it over the fence in left for a two-run shot to put the Devils up 3-0. After that, though, the Devils left a runner stranded on third to end the first and didn’t threaten at all for the next three innings as Indian Lake’s Cody Bodi settled in. “We just get into this mode where we take pitches,” Cahill said. “I was always taught that as a hitter, if the pitch is there, you swing. But we were taking a lot of 2-0 pitches — and those are the ones you should tee off on. The guy is just trying to throw a strike, and it’s usually little better than a batting practice fastball. And then the next pitch is six-to-eight inches lower, and that’s the

make it a 5-0 game. And while that was more than enough support for Calhoun to play with, Cahill would still like to see more. “We hit a couple of longballs today, but we just don’t have enough guys doing it,” he said. “We’ve got to get more guys involved in the offense.” Especially since the crossover games — Tippecanoe plays in the Central Buckeye Conference’s Kenton Trail Division, while Indian Lake plays in the Mad River Division — count towards determining the division champions. “They all are (important),” Cahill said of the CBC games.

OSU heads to Cincy for spring game COLUMBUS (AP) — After years and years of getting a cold shoulder from the city of Cincinnati, Ohio State’s football team is taking its act on the road to the Queen City. Call it a spring thaw. The Buckeyes will wind up their 15 spring practices on Saturday at Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Bengals, while work is being done on their own Ohio Stadium. Coach Urban Meyer, a 1986 graduate of the University of Cincinnati, can’t wait to show his players around and show them off. “We’re going to take our players to the Reds museum,” he said. “We’re going to give them a little taste

of Cincinnati afterward with Montgomery Inn ribs, Graeter’s ice cream and some Skyline (chili). So we’re going to do it right.” Before that, the Buckeyes will play their annual intrasquad scrimmage in a city that over the years has shown only lukewarm interest in Ohio State and has traditionally not sent many of its top high school players to the Buckeyes. The trip is a step toward mending those fences. “There does seem to be some sort of disconnect,” said Ohio State assistant coach Kerry Coombs, a longtime high school coach in Cincinnati. “Coach Meyer is working really

hard to bridge whatever gap there might be.” Two Ohio State starters defensive lineman Adolphus Washington and offensive lineman Andrew Norwell are from Cincinnati. But the city has never embraced the Buckeyes as do Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Akron or Dayton. Top football players seem to either stay home and play for the Bearcats or head off to Notre Dame, Kentucky or other Southeastern Conference locales. Norwell is looking forward to playing this road game. “It makes it exciting playing somewhere else,” said Norwell, a senior. “I love playing in the ‘Shoe,

but playing in Cincinnati hits home to me. Being from Cincinnati, it’s going to be great.” Meyer, for one, believes the Buckeyes have established a beachhead in Cincinnati that will help sway prep stars to come north to Columbus. “I wasn’t here in years past, but I have heard a lot of that, ‘Well, we haven’t done well in Cincinnati,’” the second-year coach of the Buckeyes said. “I think we’re doing great. I think we’re killing it. Adolphus Washington could potentially be a great player at Ohio State. And recently we’ve done good down there. There’s really good players, really good high school coaches.”

Bailey blasted in loss

Masters

Cardinals hammer rival Reds in 10-0 victory ST. LOUIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jake Westbrook bounded out of the dugout for the ninth inning before manager Mike Matheny could change his mind. The right-hander quickly finished off a five-hitter for his first shutout in more than six years, backed by four home runs in the St. Louis Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10-0 rout over the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was making a statement,â&#x20AC;? Matheny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted to make sure he gave the appearance he was ready to go. What a great day for him.â&#x20AC;? Westbrook (1-1) hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed an earned run in 15 2-3 innings this season, although he took the loss on an unearned run in a 1-0 setback to Barry Zito in San Francisco in his season debut. He relied heavily on a sinker against the Reds with 16 groundball outs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It always means a lot when you can finish what you started,â&#x20AC;? Westbrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ball was in the zone and really moving a lot. I guess I know when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good is when I get a lot of ground balls.â&#x20AC;? The lineup made a statement, too. Jon Jay, Carlos Beltran and Matt Adams homered in a span of seven at-bats off Homer Bailey as the Cardinals took two of three from the NL Central champions after Cincinnati stunned them with a ninerun ninth in the home opener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great point about resiliency,â&#x20AC;? Matheny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They certainly showed a different brand the last two days.â&#x20AC;? Matt Carpenter added a two-run homer on a four-hit day. Adams homered for the second straight game and added an RBI double and walk. The Cardinals have dominated the Reds at

home the last decade, losing just three of 28 series with two splits. They outscored them 15-1 the last two games of the series and the Reds were shut out for the first time in the finale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping this would be different this time especially after that first night,â&#x20AC;? Reds manager Dusty Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing about it is their pitching really shut us down.â&#x20AC;? Westbrook (1-1) pitched his first shutout since Aug. 9, 2006, against the Angels when he was with Cleveland, and this was his 15th career complete game. He held the Reds hitless in six at-bats with runners in scoring position, and contributed his 11th career RBI with a single in the

seventh for St. Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a perfect storm,â&#x20AC;? said Joey Votto, one of the few Reds with much success, going 2 for 3 with a walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise us because he definitely has that capability.â&#x20AC;? Bailey (1-1) had gone 23 straight shutout innings including his no-hitter against Pittsburgh last season before the Cardinals broke open a scoreless game with four runs with two outs in the fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they started seeing the ball there toward the end, they hit it,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After watching the film, I missed a spot to Beltran pretty big. The others hit pretty good pitches. They just got ahold of

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Corey Kluber wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed after all. Rain at least diluted Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching problems for one day. And maybe cooled off the Yankees. Recalled from Triple-A Columbus to make an emergency start against New York, Kluber never even got a chance to warm up as the Indians and Yankees were postponed by rain Wednesday night. After the start was delayed for 50 minutes, the third game of the fourgame series was postponed with no makeup scheduled. The teams will play the series-shortened finale on Thursday night, weather permitting. With the forecast for more showers, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it in. The Yankees will return at a future date to play the makeup. The washout gave the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jumbled rotation a day to regroup after the Yankees scored 25 runs in Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two home games. Earlier, the Indians were sent into scramble mode following Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game when starter Carlos Carrasco was ejected for hitting Kevin

Youkilis with a pitch and manager Terry Francona chose to use Brett Myers, who had been scheduled to start on Wednesday, to pitch the final 5 1-3 innings of a 14-1 loss. Kluber was promoted, Carrasco was optioned to the minors and the Indians were in line to use their seventh starter in nine games. They needed a break, and they got one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, this can be a nice little pick-me-up for the staff,â&#x20AC;? pitching coach Mickey Callaway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day to relax, come out the next day and go get â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em.â&#x20AC;? Zach McAllister will start Thursday against New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phil Hughes. Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer penciled in for a start, Kluber will work out of the bullpen. Francona is hoping Carrasco can duck another suspension. Carrasco, who just finished serving a suspension for throwing at Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy Butler in 2011, is facing further discipline after he was ejected in the fourth inning Tuesday for hitting Youkilis in the left shoulder one pitch after giving up a two-run homer to Robinson Cano.

them.â&#x20AC;? Bailey was charged with seven runs in five-plus innings and dropped to 3-8 with a 5.52 ERA against the Cardinals, including 0-4 with a 6.93 ERA at Busch Stadium. Baker pulled Bailey after Pete Kozmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liner struck the pitcher just above his right ankle, with the ball caroming into left field. But Bailey walked off without a limp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to wave him off,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was more because of giving up the rockets that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really landed yet.â&#x20AC;? The Cardinals advanced only two runners into scoring position in the first four innings and Bailey got two quick outs to start the fifth before running into trouble against the top of the lineup. St. Louis scored 10 runs on 11 hits in the fifth, sixth and seventh off Bailey, Logan Ondrusek and Alfredo Simon. Jayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second homer just cleared center fielder ShinSoo Chooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaping attempt at the wall. Carpenter followed with a single and Matt Holliday hit an RBI double, prompting a visit from pitching coach Bryan Price. Beltran then hit his first homer of the season on to make it 4-0. Adams hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Bailey. Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run shot homer three batters later made it 8-0.

Ben Crenshaw, a winner here twice in 1984 and 1995 and considered one of the best putters ever, says you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend enough practice time on the greens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need a lifetime â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then even more time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to figure out the greens at Augusta,â&#x20AC;? Crenshaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You float the ball toward the hole in hopes of making it,â&#x20AC;? three-time winner Phil Mickelson said.
