After the chaos Pressure-cooker bombs suspected in Boston blast BOSTON (AP) Federal agents zeroed in Tuesday on how the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out with kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and other lethal shrapnel but said they still didn’t know who did it and why. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies repeatedly pleaded for members of the public to come AP forward with photos, videos or anyTwo men in haz-mat suits investigate the scene of the first thing suspicious they might have bombing on Boylston Street in Boston Tuesday, near the finish seen or heard. line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, a day after two blasts nearby “The range of suspects and killed three and injured over 170 people. motives remains wide open,”
Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston, said at a news conference. He vowed to “go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime.” President Barack Obama branded the attack an act of terrorism but said officials don’t know “whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual.” Scores of victims of the Boston bombing remained in hospitals, many with grievous injuries, a day
after the twin explosions near the marathon’s finish line killed three people, wounded more than 170 and reawakened fears of terrorism. A 9-year-old girl and 10-year-old boy were among 17 victims listed in critical condition. Heightening jitters in Washington, where security already had been tightened after the bombing, a letter addressed to a senator and poisoned with ricin or a similarly toxic substance was intercepted at a mail facility outside the capital, lawmakers said. There was no immediate indication the episode was related to the Boston attack. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the letter was sent to Republican Sen. Roger

Getting the job done and taking care of Troy City School students was the focus of Superintendent Eric Herman’s message to community members during the 15th annual State of the Schools address sponsored by the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce. On Tuesday, Herman highlighted the achievement and challenges that public school districts such Troy are facing every day. “We are trying to get our job done and take care of our kids,” Herman said at Troy High School Commons Tuesday morning in front of city officials and business leaders in the Troy community. Herman highlighted the achievements of elementary, junior high and school students, staff and teachers with a HERMAN slide show and the theme of “We are that, and so much more.” Herman shared the achievement of student groups such as the popular Troy Pop Rocks Jump Rope team, which has performed for local basketball halftime shows and even several Ohio college and university halftime shows, the junior high and high school bowling and archery teams and other various student achievement in both athletics and academics. Herman thanked the Troy Area Chamber for its support and providing Troy City School students with unique opportunities such as the first “Manufacturing Tour” of the city of Troy’s companies last fall.

• IMF cuts its forecast for global economy in 2013 WASHINGTON (AP) The International Monetary Fund has lowered its outlook for the world economy this year, predicting that government spending cuts will slow U.S. growth and keep the euro currency countries in recession. The international lending organization cut its forecast for global growth to 3.3 percent this year, down from its January forecast of 3.5 percent. It left its prediction of 4 percent global growth in 2014 unchanged. The IMF expects the U.S. economy to expand 1.9 percent this year. That’s below its January estimate of 2.1 percent. Still, the IMF says the U.S. economy is improving and should expand 3 percent in 2014. U.S. job growth has accelerated, the housing market is recovering and banks are more willing to lend. The IMF predicts that the 17-country eurozone will shrink 0.3 percent in 2013 and grow only 1.1 percent in 2014. — Staff and wire reports
Miami East finances ‘positive’ BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com
CASSTOWN
With three-quarters of the school’s financial year complete, Miami East Local Schools’ treasurer Lisa Fahncke reported the district is “in a positive position” to the board of education Monday. Fahncke reported the district did not request an advance for property tax income as in years past. The district waited for the full payment made in the month of April from the county auditor instead of receiving an advance of funds. Fahncke said the district received its real estate/general property tax of $895,948 in April. Fahncke said the payment was $35,000 more than anticipated in financial estimates. “Overall, that’s a positive position,” Fahncke said. Fahncke also highlighted the district’s expenditures are $76,000 less than anticipated thus far in the fiscal year as well. “That’s good news,” said Kevin Accurso, board president. Miami East Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold also reported the district’s online grade card program should be back online at the end of the week. Rappold said the hard drive
crashed during the week administration, teachers and students were on spring break. “Hopefully in the next day or two it will be back up,” Rappold said. The board also accepted $2,000 from the Miami East Elementary PTO for the purchase of leveled readers through the principal’s fund. The board also accepted $3,219 from the athletic boosters for the purchase of track warm-ups through the Miami East Athletic fund. The board named Loretta Yantis as the K-8 head cook at step 15 (with 16 years of experience) for the 2013-2014 school year. Yantis will take the place of Christy Motter, who is retiring. The board named Bonnie Maxon as the high school head cook at step 12 (with 13 years experience) for the 2013-2014 school year. Maxon will take the place of Patty Taynor, who is retiring. Rappold said both women were instrumental in helping the district’s cafeteria programs achieve a clean audit through the USDA’s financial and physical food count and paperwork.
Staff Report An accountant from Tipp City was arrested Friday, April 5, for stealing a sizable sum from his former employer Long & Associates. Stephen T. Smith, 48, worked for the management firm from 2007 when he quit in November 2012, according to West Milton police. During that time, he is alleged to have stolen more than $150,000 from the firm. Chief of Police Garry Kimpel said an exact figure has not yet been
determined in the investigation that started in February, after the new accountant started finding discrepancies. Smith also was served with two search warrants for the financial records at his home on Burnside Drive and the business he co-owns in Troy, Sweeney Todd Salon. Smith has been charged with corrupt activity, a felony of the first degree; telecommunications fraud, a felony of the second degree; and theft; and third degree felony theft.

members must be present in order to approve a motion on its first reading. Legislation for a $10 permissive tax per vehicle also had its first reading. The tax would be implemented in 2014 as a means of paying for street, public road and highway improvements. The budget for such repair work has declined substantially throughout the years, said City Engineer Deborah Swan at a previous committee meeting. In other council news: • Resident Lester Conard of Clay Street stated his opposition to the permissive tax, stating that the city has proposed too many fees on its residents. • Scott Frank, DP&L reliability operations supervisor, distributed information showing various upkeep and repair work that the company performs to reduce the number of outages and their duration. A spike in outages typically occurs in April due to the weather, he said.
Highlights of the evening were: In 2012, the chapter was ranked in the Top 10 out of 315 chapters in the National Chapter Application. Also we placed in the Top 10 chapter in the areas of Student Development, Chapter Development and Community Development. The chapter’s application was then sent on for national judging and we were named a three star National Chapter at the National FFA Convention. For 2013, the chapter is ranked in the Top 10 in the state. And, we are a Top 10 in all three areas of development. Members will now compete to be number one at the State Convention. In 2012, National FFA Convention graduate Kyle Roeth earned the American FFA Degree. At the 2012 State FFA Convention we had 25 students compete in the State Agriscience Fair. Rian Kingrey and Olivia Edgell placed first in the state and competed in the National Agriscience Fair. They placed third in the nation. In 2013, three officers, Lauren Williams, Kendra Beckman, and Rebekah Eidemiller submitted Officer Books for review at the District Evaluations. All three earned a gold rating. They will be further recognized at the 2013 State FFA Convention.
Herman • CONTINUED FROM 1 “You know, you drive by all these huge buildings and you don’t quite know what they do,” Herman said. “We had two or three kids who went on the tour and they came back and changed their minds on what they wanted to do in life.” Herman also mentioned the schools and commerce partnerships including reading volunteers and the new high school program Extreme Bots. The Extreme Bots high school program has students design and build a robot for demolition competition at Stillwater Technologies and has been very popular with students. “Troy City Schools is a lot of different things to a lot of different people,” Herman said. “It makes Troy, Troy.” Herman said the district will continue to offer arts, athletics, academics and opportunities as long as the need and enthusiasm and funding is available. Herman also spoke about the numerous challenges facing public education including mass overhaul of curriculum changes and finances. “We’ve cut $15 million from our budget,” Herman said, noting that more than 30 positions were eliminated due to attrition. Herman also said the district teachers and staff have had wage freezes for almost three years to save more than $6.4 million in wages and benefits. Herman also noted the district’s building are aging with the Van Cleve Sixth Grade building to celebrate its 100th year in education and the Troy Junior High’s being the district’s “newest” build-

ing when it opened its doors in 1972. Herman recognized Tytus Jacobs, the district’s maintenance coordinator for the upkeep of all nine of the district’s buildings. “It’s tough to keep up,” Herman said, noting a new roof for any building costs approximately $500,000. Herman also said changes at the state and federal level often make it hard to plan for the year to come. “Until they get their budget, we can’t do ours,” he said. Herman said the federal education budget’s sequestration may affect 5 to 10 percent of the district budget. The federal education budget mainly affects Title reading programs and provided funding for students who need education while incarcerated at facilities such as West Central Juvenile Detention Centers. Changes and challenges also are occurring with testing, including a brand new state rating system for the state. “There are more changes going on now then I’ve ever seen in my entire career,” he said. Herman said everything from the curriculum has changed, to the way schools do testing has changed. Herman said despite all the challenges from curriculum overhauls, to budget constraints, the district will continue to provide a top-notch education to all its student with 100 percent effort by all teachers and staff members. “We’ll take care of it,” he said. “We’ll get it done.” For more information about Troy City Schools, visit www.troy.k12.oh.us.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 speculation coming from a dozen different directions at once from confused patrons. “Oh my God, is that purple stuff blood? Oh God, it’s blood.” “I heard there are still bombs along the route. We should all leave.” “No, the police are telling everyone to stay where they are.” “They’re shutting down public transportation.” “Don’t use your cell phone. That’s how they’re detonating the bombs.” “My cousin said one hundred people are dead.” “No, it’s a only about a dozen.” “I heard only two, but one is a kid.” A mile away there is no smoke. No blood. No severed limbs. No screams. There is only large groups of scared people trying to sort out the information from the misinformation. We were far enough away to probably not be in any danger, but it still felt like we were in danger. We were all desparately trying to get a hold of our families to let them know we were OK, only to realize with growing panic that our phones weren’t working. As agonizing minutes ticked by, we watched our phones blow up with calls and texts we were unable to answer. A mile away, there isn’t much you can do to help. All you can do is hand out cigarettes to people, because if there was ever a time to smoke, now would be it. You hand them out to the two guys who can’t stop talking about how two people died and how they happen to be two people and how by that logic it could have been them. You hand them out to the guy walking down the street who is looking for his friend whom he lost a few hours ago and is worried he left to be closer to the finish line. You even hand one out to the young, drunk, scared girl who won’t stop talking about how if a bomb was going to go off, they should have done it at Fenway where there was a game because somehow in her young, drunk, scared mind, blowing up baseball fans is
Bombs better than blowing up marathon fans. And you just shake your head and forgive her because she’s young, drunk, scared and alone. A mile away, there is a frat house that turned its lawn party into a weigh station, offering passerbys water or food or cell phones or cell phone chargers. Or probably, if you asked them, they’d even offer you a much-needed hug. A mile away, there is a former EMT who keeps reassuring you that everything will be alright, she promises, when you hear that another possible bomb went off in a building close to your husband’s work and you start to freak out that he’s now in danger and as an afterthought that you’re all still possibly in danger and the terror isn’t over. A mile away, there is someone who let’s you get snot and eyeliner all over his shirt as you cry on his shoulder in front of another TV in another bar farther away from the finish line because you don’t know where else to go when the president makes his address about the tragedy. A mile away, there is a friend who presses a crumbled $50 into your hands and insists you take it so you can hail a cab home instead of taking the subway since the police are advising everyone to avoid crowds. A mile away, there is a cabbie who let’s you tell the story of the first time you ever went to the Boston Marathon two years ago when you first came to Boston and how moved you were that so many people would stand for so many hours cheering on runners they don’t know and cheering just as loudly for the last runners as they did for the first. And five miles away, when you finally get home, there is a husband who lets you collapse into his arms sobbing because you both made it through this horrific day alive. Yes, heroes emerge in a time of tragedy. But a mile away from tragedy, there are only people doing whatever they can, whatever gesture, big or small, to help each other get through one of the worst days in American history.
ing mysterious explosions recently. “Someone knows who did this,” the FBI agent said. The bombs exploded 10 or more seconds apart, tearing off victims’ limbs and spattering streets with blood, instantly turning the festive race into a hellish scene of confusion, horror and heroics. The blasts killed 8-yearold Martin Richard of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass., and a third victim, identified only as a graduate student at Boston University. Doctors who treated the wounded corroborated reports that the bombs were packed with shrapnel intended to cause mayhem. “We’ve removed BBs and we’ve removed nails from kids. One of the sickest things for me was just to see nails sticking out of a little girl’s body,” said Dr. David Mooney, director of the trauma center at Boston Children’s Hospital.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, all four amputations performed there were above the knee, with no hope of saving more of the legs, said Dr. George Velmahos, chief of trauma surgery. “It wasn’t a hard decision to make,” he said. “We just completed the ugly job that the bomb did.” Obama plans to visit Boston on Thursday to attend an interfaith service in honor of the victims. He has traveled four times to cities reeling from mass violence, most recently in December after the schoolhouse shooting in Newtown, Conn. In the wake of the attack, security was stepped up around the White House and across the country. Police massed at federal buildings and transit centers in the nation’s capital, critical response teams deployed in New York City, and security officers with bomb-sniffing dogs spread through Chicago’s Union Station.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the stepped-up security was a precaution and that there was no evidence the bombings were part of a wider plot. Pressure-cooker explosives been used in have Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and the Homeland Security Department. One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the report said. “Placed carefully, such devices provide little or no indication of an impending attack,” the report said. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any part in the Boston Marathon attack. Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen gave a detailed description of how to make a bomb using a pressure cooker in a 2010 issue of Inspire, its English-language online publication aimed at would-be terrorists acting alone. In a chapter titled “Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” it says “the pressurized cooker is the most effective method” for making a simple bomb, and it provides directions. Naser Jason Abdo, a former U.S. soldier, was sentenced to life in prison last year after being convicted of planning to use a pair of bombs made from pressure cookers in an attack on a Texas restaurant frequented by soldiers from Fort Hood. He was found with the Inspire article.
she said. “It was exactly where we had been standing. If our friends had run the race a little slower, it would be a very different story today.” After he finished the marathon, Brumbaugh — along with his wife — returned to his hotel room and showered. The couple then boarded a shuttle and headed for the airport. “We heard the first two explosions,” he said. “We’re about a quarter-mile away. Our driver got a phone call telling him he was being rerouted. At first, he didn’t understand why. That’s when he flipped on the radio and he heard what was happening.” While the Brumbaughs were on their way to the airport, the Reisers were just two blocks away looking for a bite to eat. “It didn’t sound like an explosion at first,” Laurie Reiser said. “It sounded like construction. It sounded like something had fallen. At first we didn’t know what had happened; then we saw people running down the street and knew something was wrong. “We were standing at a major intersection and it
was just filled with people. The ambulances started coming, but they couldn’t get through. Thankfully, someone dressed like Paul Revere — it was ‘Patriot Day’ in Boston, which is a huge deal — ran over and took down one of the barricades that had been put up for the people, allowing the ambulances to get through.” Once the news of the explosions hit the media, both Brumbaugh and Reiser began getting dozens of text messages and phone calls from family and friends, checking to see if they were OK. “I went through three phone charges on my cell phone from people checking on me,” Brumbaugh said. Even in the face of such horrific tragedy, however, both couples found triumph. For Brumbaugh, a former cross country runner at Covington who said he had “dreamed of running the Boston Marathon since I was 10 years old,” began training for the Boston Marathon in 2007. He ran his first marathon in 3:59 — nearly an hour slower than the 3:05 time needed to qualify for
the Boston Marathon. Since then, he ran 8,758 training miles, meticulously tracking each and every step on his way to qualifying for the marathon. “I worked my whole life to get to this point,” Brumbaugh said. “It’s something I’m never going to forget — just maybe not for all the reasons I had hoped.” Reiser said she wouldn’t hesitate in returning to Boston to see the race again next year. “It was an amazing experience,” she said. “Where we were standing, there were people all around us speaking French — even if I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. What I will remember from this is seeing hundreds of blind runners cross the finish line after running 27 miles holding someone’s hand. I’m going to remember paraplegic runners crossing the finish line. I’m going to remember little old ladies who looked like they couldn’t even cross the street crossing the finish line after running a marathon. “If you were to ask anyone there, I think most of them would tell you they would do it all over again next year. You can’t live in fear.”
• CONTINUED FROM 1 Wicker of Mississippi. Officials found that the bombs in Boston consisted of explosives put in ordinary, 1.6-gallon pressure cookers, one with shards of metal and ball bearings, the other with nails, according to a person close to the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the probe was still going on. Both bombs were stuffed into black duffel bags and left on the ground, the person said. DesLauriers confirmed that investigators had found pieces of black nylon from a bag or backpack and fragments of BBs and nails, possibly contained in a pressure cooker. He said the items were sent to the FBI laboratory at Quantico, Va., for analysis. Investigators said they have not yet determined what was used to set off the explosives. Pressure-cooker explosives have been used in international terrorism, and have been recommended for lonewolf operatives by Al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen. But information on how to make the bombs is readily found online, and U.S. officials said Americans should not rush to judgment in linking the attack to overseas terrorists. DesLauriers said there had been no claim of responsibility for the attack. He urged people to come forward with anything suspicious, such as hearing someone express an interest in explosives or a desire to attack the marathon, seeing someone carrying a dark heavy bag at the race, or hear-

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Houston Chronicle on U.S.-Mexico border security: On the Texas-Mexico border, the rust-colored wall along the Rio Grande, an 18-foot-high barrier of concrete-reinforced steel with gaps every quarter mile or so, undulates over farmland, wetland and desert at a cost of $20 million per mile. Since the river meanders, the wall encroaches on private property, cuts through the campus of The University of Texas at Brownsville, isolates an American nature preserve, disturbs animal life and disrupts lives and commerce on both sides of the border. In the words of Texas border residents, the wall is nothing more than “a billion-dollar speed trap,” ”a political fence,” ”purely symbolic.” To be more precise, it is an ugly symbol of a nation that has lost its bearings over border security. Even a Border Patrol spokesman conceded recently that its impact is minimal when it comes to impeding the flow of undocumented border-crossers and illegal drugs. “What it does is buy us a little time when we’re trying to apprehend someone,” the spokesman said. For far-off politicians in Washington, officials who are often betrayed by border stereotypes, the wall — nearly 700 miles have been completed — is an easy, albeit expensive substitute for serious immigration reform. True border security involves working with Mexico to sustain its growing economy, thus providing a viable alternative to citizens who might have considered making the dangerous trek north in a desperate attempt to feed their families. It also means working to reduce the demand in this country for illegal drugs. True border security does, indeed, mean “boots on the ground” — to use Gov. Rick Perry’s favorite phrase — to make sure that the horrendous drug-cartel violence on the Mexican side doesn’t bleed over onto this side. It’s important to note that border cities, so far, remain some of the safest in the United States. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was in Houston last week, discussing border security with state and local stakeholders. What she called “common-sense immigration reform” included not only strengthening security but also “supporting the travel and trade that are vital to our economy.” Those kind of efforts make sense, not building more walls. The Denver Post on President Barack Obama’s proposal to map the human brain: A proposed $100 million push to better understand the enormously complex human brain has the potential to lead to breakthroughs in treating Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and even traumatic brain injury. Given the enormous financial and human toll of these conditions, it’s an investment worth making. And considering the strength of neuroscience studies at University of Colorado, the emphasis could create new opportunities for collaboration and research in the Centennial State. We hope Congress can find a way to fit the expense of such an effort into a reworked budget plan intended to put the country on a sustainable fiscal path. However, fiscal prudence cannot be the sole goal of a retrenched budget. Such a plan also must make considered expenses that result in societal improvements. Fortunately, an initiative to map the brain, announced this week by President Obama, could do both. Not only does it have the potential to make life better for the many whose lives have been adversely affected by various brain conditions, it also could save significant amounts of money in future health care costs. A study by the RAND Corp. estimates it costs $157 billion to $215 billion annually (in 2010 dollars) just to treat dementia. By way of comparison, the study found the annual cost of treating heart disease was $102 billion, and for cancer, $77 billion. A breakthrough that would allow Alzheimer’s patients to live more independently, for even a few years, could result in significant reductions in publicly funded health care costs. And it could be of immense comfort to people who suffer the agony of seeing their loved ones lose their ability to function and recognize friends and family.

DOONESBURY
We must pull together in times such as these Personal records are meant to be shattered in marathons. Lives are not. There’s such a cruel, sickening, sad irony to Monday’s Boston Marathon tragedy. Running 26.2 miles signifies a commitment to fitness, to health and, most notably, to life. It’s the opportunity to challenge oneself, to push the limits and keep going even when the going gets tough. Just keep on keeping on. It’s a mighty fine strategy for living, too: Don’t ever give up. That’s what made the explosions at the marathon all the more dismaying: the achievements of passionate people from around the world were eclipsed by deadly violence. How terribly unfair. As I saw the footage and personal testimony unveiled on TV and online, I simply could not believe my eyes. How could such a horrific act be committed yet again? How could innocent people embark on a life-affirming journey — running a marathon for a good cause — only to face explosions — and for some, death or maimed limbs — at the finish line? On Monday, participants laced up their running shoes for what is surely one of the greatest physical
Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist achievements — or at least I think so. A marathon marks the culmination of months and months of hard work. But the actual act of running is only half of the equation. The other half is mental stamina, the empowering belief that you are in control and can fight through the pain and make it to the finish line — a glorious feat. You’ve just gotta have faith, dedication and peace of mind. And yet, an unfathomable act of hatred can obliterate that very peace of mind and instill a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. How incredibly saddening and maddening, I thought, as I saw the footage of injured marathoners wheeled away, the streets spat-

tered with blood, debris scattered about. Is this really what we as humans have to face? That any large gathering of people can now become the next target? Not only must we be afraid in schools, on airplanes and in government buildings; we can now add marathons to the list. But while feelings of resignation are perhaps inevitable initially, often such acts of senseless violence breed greater hope and unity in the end. First responders and emergency medical personnel showed courage, strength and compassion in the face of danger, while some marathoners reportedly headed straight to the hospital to donate blood after the explosions. I’m extremely hesitant to comment on any sort of silver lining from a day that was undoubtedly horrific and stained with evil. How can you possibly say anything positive came of something that should have never happened in the first place? Lives were lost, others were forever tarnished, and the ripple effect spreads throughout the country — and the world. To focus on the positive seems somewhat naive, silly or insensitive.
But at the risk of sounding trite, I must say that tragedies have a way of bringing out the best in people. For every one terrible act, there are hundreds — or thousands — of compassionate acts. I’ve seen a quote by the late Fred Rogers, from his book “The World According to Mister Rogers,” posted by many media outlets, and I think it provides a sense of comfort: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” What a relief to be reminded that benevolence outlasts malevolence. Even — or especially — in the darkest of days, we can still be assured of the loving compassion inherent in (most of) humanity. The Boston Marathon tragedy reminds us that unfortunately we cannot always foresee the danger that lies ahead. But we can hold our loved ones a little tighter, help out where we can and tread ahead on an often uncertain road. It’s a small consolation, but one that we all need, lest we succumb to fear, cynicism and grief. Natalie Knoth appears on Wednesdays in the TDN

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST
In this May 8, 2008 file photo British conductor Sir Colin Davis, president of the London Symphony Orchestra, holds a Classical BRIT award. The London Symphony Orchestra says its president and principal conductor, Colin Davis, has died aged 85. One of the best-known figures in British classical music, Davis worked with the symphony for more than half a century. death was a blow to the company, which had planned to work with him again. Pappano said it “represents an end of an era, where grit, toil, vision and energy were the defining elements of a leading international opera house.” “The warmth and excitement of his music-making will be terribly missed. He was a giant,” Pappano said. In his early career Davis was, by his own admission, “a raw young man,” known for abrasiveness and fits of temper. He mellowed with age, becoming an enthusiastic pipe-smoker and knitter as well as musical leader. In 2007, he told the BBC that music helped stave off thoughts of death. “Every time you give a concert, time is suspended: You’re mastering it; time is not the enemy,” he said. “It doesn’t put off death, unfortunately, but it gives you a very good time while you’re still alive.” Davis had two children with his first wife, April Cantelo, and five with his second, Ashraf Naini. His children survive him.
• Bob Gregory WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Bob Gregory, a three-year basketball starter for Manhattan College who went on to teach and coach in the New York City public school system for almost 30 years, has died. He was 63. Gregory, who graduated from Manhattan in 1972 and played professionally in France for one year, died Tuesday after 18 months of fighting brain cancer, his family said. He coached the girls basketball teams at Columbus H.S. and at Bronx High School of Science, where he compiled a 121-71 record that included 17-1 seasons in 2007-08 and 2008-09, reaching the PSAL semifinals in the second season. Gregory is survived by wife Yolanda, stepdaughter Alexis, two grandsons, five brothers and sisters and five nieces and nephews. A viewing will be Thursday at BallardDurand Funeral Services in White Plains, and a funeral Mass will be Friday at 10 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Hartsdale. • Sal Castro LOS ANGELES — Sal Castro, a social studies teacher who played a leading role in 1960s Chicano student walkouts, has died at age 79. Castro had thyroid cancer and died Monday at his home, his wife, Charlotte Lerchenmuller, told the Los Angeles Times. The son of Mexican immigrants, Castro was born in Los Angeles but spent some of his early childhood in Mexico. He couldn’t speak English when he returned to Los Angeles in the second grade and was made to sit in the corner. “I started thinking, these teachers . should be able to understand me,” Castro said in a 1988 interview with The Times. “I
didn’t think I was dumb I thought they were dumb.” Castro was a social studies teacher at Lincoln High School near downtown in March 1968 when he supported and joined walkouts by hundreds of MexicanAmerican students. Their “blowouts” protested run-down and overcrowded East Los Angeles schools, poor teachers and discrimination. Castro earlier worked with students and graduates to present the school board with a list of demands aiming to improve the schools. “The curriculum largely ignored or denied Mexican-American history,” said a statement from the Los Angeles Unified School District. “Chicano students were forbidden from speaking Spanish, and often in spite of strong academic abilities they were steered toward menial jobs instead of college.” Walkouts lasted several days and spread to 15 schools. Castro and 12 others people were arrested. He was jailed for five days and charged with 30 counts of conspiracy, but the charges ultimately were dropped. Castro was fired after the walkouts but was rehired after weeks of protests by local parents. However, he was sent to different schools around the district for several years before finally being settled at Belmont High. He retired in 2004. “Sal Castro held a mirror up to our district that showed the need for a youths’ rights agenda more than 45 years ago,” district Superintendent John Deasy said in a statement. “Graduation rates, access to college-prep courses, allocation of resources all of these issues needed fixing and that is why we have spent every day striving to provide the education each and every one of our students deserves.” 2380066
LONDON (AP) — Colin Davis, the former principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and one of Britain’s elder statesmen of classical music, has died at 85. The orchestra said Davis died Sunday after a short illness. One of the best-known figures in British music, Davis worked with the London symphony for more than half a century. He first conducted for the LSO in 1959 and took the principal conductor post in 1995, serving until 2006 before becoming president. The orchestra said Davis had been “at the head of the LSO family for many years.” “His musicianship and his humanity have been cherished by musicians and audiences alike,” it said in a statement, adding that “music lovers across the world have been inspired by his performances and recordings.” Associated in particular with the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jean Sibelius and Hector Berlioz, Davis won three Grammy awards two in 2002 for the LSO’s recording of “Les Troyens” by Berlioz, and one for Giuseppe Verdi’s “Falstaff” four years later and a host of other trophies. Colin Rex Davis was born in the southern England town of Weybridge on Sept. 25, 1927, one of seven children of a bank clerk. Thanks to a generous relative, he studied at the private school Christ’s Hospital, then at the Royal College of Music, before spending his compulsory military service as a clarinetist with the band of the Household Cavalry. Because he did not play piano he was denied a place in the music college’s conducting class, and initially he struggled to find conducting work. His entry in “Who’s Who” listed the years 1949-57 as “freelance wilderness.” But after filling in to acclaim for Otto Klemperer at the Royal Festival Hall in 1959, his career took off. Apart from his long association with the LSO, Davis spent periods as chief conductor of the BBC Symphony and music director of the Royal Opera House, and worked with ensembles around the world, including the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980. Antonio Pappano, music director of the Royal Opera House, said Davis’

U.S. housing starts surpass 1 million March gain signals continued strength for recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. homebuilders broke the 1 million mark in March for the first time since June 2008. The gain signals continued strength for the housing recovery at the start of the spring buying season. The overall pace of homes started rose 7 percent from February to March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.04 million, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Apartment construction, which tends to fluctuate sharply from month to month, led the surge: It jumped nearly 31 percent to an annual rate of 417,000, the fastest pace since January 2006. By contrast, single-family home building, which makes up nearly two-thirds of the market, fell 4.8 percent to an annual rate of 619,000. That was down from February’s pace of 650,000, the fastest since May 2008. The government said February’s pace was a sharp 5.2 percent higher than it had previously estimated. Applications for building permits, a gauge of future construction, declined 3.9 percent to an annual rate of 902,000. It was down from February’s rate of 939,000, which was also nearly a five-year high. Scott Laurie, president of Olson Homes, said that last month’s falloff in single-family starts is not representative of

A worker helps frame a new home under construction in Matthews, N.C., March 29. U.S. builders started work on the most homes and apartments in nearly 5 years in March, signaling momentum in the housing recovery. The Commerce Department says builders broke ground on homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.04 million in March, up 7 percent from February. It was the fastest pace of home building since June 2008. what’s happening in the market. A scarcity in ready-to-build land has many builders working to get local governments to approve new land for construction, he said. The process can take 12 to 18 months. A survey of homebuilders released Monday noted similar concerns. “You’ll see starts will continue to increase as the year goes on and new projects start to open up,” Laurie said. Laurie’s company builds homes in Southern California priced roughly from $325,000 to
Number of wealthy Ohioans on rise DAYTON (AP) — The number of wealthy taxpayers in Ohio is on the way back up after a decline during the recession, according to a newspaper analysis of state tax information. Nearly 6,300 taxpayers who lived in Ohio in 2011 made more than $1 million, the Ohio newspaper found. That’s up 40 percent from 2009, the worst year of the recession. The number of wealthy taxpayers did not return to pre-recession levels in 2011, but experts say the group is expanding because of the improving economy and rising stock market. “It’s gone up because the really wealthy get a much larger share of their income from investments as opposed to labor,” Miami University economics professor William Even told the newspaper. The million-dollar earners account for 0.1 percent of Ohio’s resident taxpayers. By contrast, the numbers from the Ohio Department of Taxation showed more than seven in 10 taxpayers
in the state earned $60,000 or less in 2011. Another quarter of tax filers earned $60,000 to $175,000. The number of wealthy taxpayers decreased 12 percent in 2008 and 35 percent in 2009 due the Great Recession. Ohio’s overall tax base slipped 3 percent in both of those years. The economy started recovering in June 2009, and the stock market picked up momentum in 2010 and 2011. Experts said the gains in the stock market played a significant role in increasing the number of highincome taxpayers, because the wealthy are much more heavily invested in the financial markets. The tax numbers are “indicative of the volatility in incomes for the highincome taxpayers, because much of their income tends to come from investments, capital gains, dividends and business income,” said Scott Hodge, president of the Tax Foundation, a Washington, D.C.,-based think tank.
$750,000. He says Olson’s construction starts are on pace to climb at least 40 percent this year, as the builder moves to add as many as eight new communities. “The market started showing improvement in the early part of 2012 and really hasn’t slowed down since,” said Laurie. “Right now, were very bullish.” The jump in home building is expected to contribute to economic growth in 2013 for a second straight year a reversal from 2006 through 2011, when it held back the economy.
Deutsche Bank predicts that home construction will reach an annual pace of 1.2 million by year’s end. Brett Ryan, an economist at Deutsche Bank, said that rate could add 0.5 percentage point to 2013 growth. That would be the biggest contribution from housing since 2004. The housing recovery could spur an additional percentage point of growth by encouraging more consumer spending, Ryan said. More building and higher home sales mean Americans will likely spend more on things like
furniture and landscaping. Higher home prices also create a “wealth effect” that gives homeowners the confidence to spend more. Steady job growth, near record-low mortgage rates and rising home values have encouraged more people to buy homes. In response to higher demand and a low supply of available homes for sale, builders have stepped up construction. March’s pace of homes started was nearly 46 percent higher than in the same month in 2012. Housing construction fell 5.8 percent in the Northeast but gained in the rest of the country, led by a 10.9 percent rise in the South. It rose 9.6 percent in the Midwest and 2.7 percent in the West. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo April survey released Monday showed that builders are concerned that limited land and rising costs for building materials and labor could slow sales in the short term. That led to a third straight monthly drop in confidence. Still, the builders’ outlook for sales over the next six months climbed to the highest level in more than six years, suggesting that the obstacles could be temporary. And construction firms have stepped up hiring in recent months. They added 18,000 jobs in March and 169,000 since September, according to the Labor Department. Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to statistics from the homebuilders.

Ohio has a long and illustrious history of involvement with the Olympic Games. It was the home, for instance, of the man many consider to be the greatest Olympian of all — track and field’s Jesse Owens. The “Buckeye Bullet” competed for The Ohio State University after completing his high school career at Cleveland East Tech. At OSU, Owens’ most notable achievement was setting or tying four world records in less than an hour during the 1935 Big Ten championships. That afternoon helped set the stage for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, where Owens won four gold medals under the cloud of Nazi Germany. His victories in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, the long jump and the 4x100-meter relay were seen as a public humiliation of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s ideology. In the years following Owens’ triumph in Germany, a number of Ohio track and field athletes built upon his legacy. Another Clevelander, Harrison Dillard, won the 100 meters in 1948 in London, then followed that with a gold in the 110-meter hurdles four years later in Helsinki, Finland. He is still the only male Olympian to win both events. Dayton’s Edwin Moses brought home Olympic gold in 1976 and 1984 with triumphs in the 400-meter hurdles. Off the track, archer Darrell Pace of Cincinnati won golds in 1976 and 1984. In fact, he and Moses are the only two Americans to win events in each of those Olympiads. Because of the state’s lack of mountains and consistent snowfall, Ohioans haven’t done as well in the Winter Olympics. In 2002, though, Granville’s Lea Ann Parsley returned from Salt Lake City with a silver medal in skeleton, a sledding sport comparable to luge, that features speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. A fine overall athlete, Parsley happened upon skeleton while doing research online. Three years before winning her medal, she gave the sport a shot … and caught on quickly.

You may never be able to change the way your family acts Dear Annie: I grew up in an extremely dysfunctional family. I have an older sibling who has hated the rest of us for the past 45 years. Family gatherings are extremely uncomfortable events. Inappropriate barbs lead to physical fights, young children cry while the adults pretend nothing is amiss, family members spy on one another, there is lots of backstabbing, and some relatives are ignored while others are fawned over. My mother allows her adult children to treat one another like animals and refuses to get involved in the chaos. I am tired of this and will no longer let my children witness these destructive behaviors. Please let other parents know they should work to make their home a welcoming and loving environment. Is there anything I can do to counteract the hostility at these gatherings? — Too Old for Hate Dear Too Old: You cannot force your parents and siblings to behave in a civilized manner. The pattern in your family seems fairly well set, and no one else has much interest in changing it. You are smart to realize that your choice is to stay or leave. Calmly explain to your family why you are walking out (or not attending), and make no apologies. We commend you for recognizing this dysfunction and not transmitting it to your children. But please consider letting the children see some of the relatives one-on-one, under your supervision. Kids are extremely tolerant of aberrant behavior in family members and can understand "this is how Grandma is" without emulating her. Dear Annie: "Michael" and I are a young gay couple pondering marriage. Gay marriage is not performed in our state, and we realize it would not be recognized here. It's the principle of the thing. A courthouse venue seems the most feasible, and I am wondering whom to invite. Michael's parents and siblings would most certainly be there, but I don't know what to do about my side. I have no siblings, and my parents are divorced. Mom is fully supportive, but my father doesn't know I'm gay. I would prefer not telling him in order to avoid a conflict. My father would probably never find out that Michael and I are married if I don't tell him myself. But if he did learn about it, he'd be upset. Then again, he'd also be upset to learn that I'm getting married. Should I tell him? Also, because my guest list is limited, should I invite best friends? — A Ring on It Dear Ring: We think you should tell your father, not only because keeping secrets can erode relationships, but also because you should not be hiding who you are. If you are mature enough to marry, it's time to handle the fallout from your father. As for your guest list, invite those people you want to have as witnesses to your union, provided you can afford to do so. Dear Annie: This is a response to "Feeling the Void in Indiana." It was pretty brazen of him to claim to speak for all men when he said we feel incomplete without sex. I'll admit that is true for a lot of men, but certainly not all. I'm a healthy 30-year-old man with all the normal biological urges. I also haven't been in a romantic relationship in years and am completely sexually inactive — and I feel fine about it. That's because I put my energy into other things like working out and enjoying outdoor activities. And I have a few friends who are as OK without sex as I am. Sex is not the be-all and endall of human existence. As a last note, any man who cheats on his wife or girlfriend is a cad, whatever feeble excuses he comes up with. — Abstinent and OK with It 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. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:
HINTS FROM HELOISE
Low on potatoes? Add hash browns to your soup Dear Heloise: In the midst of making potato soup from scratch, I realized that I needed more potatoes. Remembering I had hash browns in the freezer, I grabbed the package. I was able to add enough frozen potatoes to complete my soup. — Kay C. in Texas Kay, you even could add frozen potatoes to canned soup that you are cooking for added flavor or to thicken. This is another example of why soup is a favorite meal for so many people. It is easy to experiment with when trying new flavors and ideas. — Heloise BERRY HOLDER Dear Heloise: We read your
Hints from Heloise Columnist column in the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald every day and love the hints. Here’s one for convenience: My grandkids love all kinds of berries. They must be washed, and I worry about messy berry stains. We were in a hurry to get to an appointment, so I grabbed two coffee travel mugs. We put
the berries inside and rinsed by filling with water several times and pouring the water out. The kids thought that was so much fun! They carried the mugs to the car, removed the lids and poured the berries, a few at a time, into their mouths. No berries on the floor. — S.G., via email Love the hint, and your newspaper, too! Say hello to my friends in Omaha! — Heloise MORE TOMATO Dear Heloise: We are tomato lovers, and have always grown our own in Indiana. Now, in Florida and retired, we no longer have the abundance, so we treat every tomato with more respect.
To increase the yield on a tomato, don’t slice it to remove the stem portion. Instead, slice down through the stem so that the tomato is halved and the stem is on both halves. Now Vcut the stems out, and you will enjoy more tomato and have less waste. — A Reader in Florida COLLECT DUST Dear Heloise: I collect cookie jars and display them on top of my kitchen cabinets. When it comes to spring-cleaning, I am shocked to see what is on top of my cabinets. To avoid the muck that accumulates from cooking, I line the top of the cabinets with newspaper. No more muck. — R.M. in Ohio

SNUFFY SMITH
BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, April 18, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) If shopping today, you’ll be tempted by elegant luxury. Don’t go into debt to the point that you later regret it. (Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with others are warm and friendly today because you’re very sensitive to the vibes of others. You sense what others want and need, which helps you deal with them. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Solitude in beautiful surroundings will please you today. Give yourself a chance to relax with a little peace and quiet. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll be pleased if you have an opportunity to work with groups for the benefit of those who are less fortunate than you. You’re sensitive to the suffering of others today. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might develop a crush on your boss today. In turn, others might look up to you for your compassionate viewpoint about something. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places. Visit art galleries, museums, gorgeous buildings or pristine nature. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If sharing something with someone else today, don’t give away the farm. You feel sympathetic to the needs of others, but remember to have a healthy self-interest as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good day to patch up quarrels or riffs with others, because a sense of mutual sympathy exists. You care for the welfare of someone else, and vice versa. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A co-worker might need a sympathetic ear today. Or perhaps someone will appeal to your good nature? (Never miss an opportunity to practice a kindness.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Because you’re in touch with your muse today, this is a great day to explore any creative activity. Enjoy music, arts and crafts, as well as sports and playful times with children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’ll enjoy doing anything that makes where you live look more attractive. However, be careful when shopping for goodies at home, because you might go overboard. Ka-ching! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your imagination is aroused today, and it makes this an easy day to daydream and slip away into fantasies. Don’t worry; we all need days like this to keep our sanity. YOU BORN TODAY You are emotionally deep and have a kind of nobility about you. People are quick to respect you. In turn, you often are like a protector, defending the faith. You are aware of your public image and are careful about how you present yourself to others because you value their respect. Your coming year will be the beginning of a fresh new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of Rick Moranis, actor; Conan O’Brien, TV host; Kourtney Kardashian, actress/businesswoman. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Joseph Bruno, one of the lead plaintiffs’ attorneys in the levee litigation, said he was “disgusted.” “Not with the judge. The judge did his best. Just with the fact that we have a government that is totally unresponsive to what happened here,” Bruno said Tuesday. WGI argued that its work didn’t cause the breaches. “There are a lot of other possible explanations, but that is not one

overseeing the construction of the levees,” he added. Duval previously sided with the plaintiffs in a separate case, ruling in 2009 that the Corps’ shoddy work on a shipping channel left the same areas vulnerable to flooding. In that case, Duval concluded the Corps wasn’t entitled to the protections of the 1928 law. But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed itself last year and overturned Duval’s landmark ruling, which had been one of the few legal victories for residents seeking compensation for damage after Katrina. In his latest ruling, Duval described the Corps as a “bureaucratic behemoth” that is “virtually unaccountable to the citizens it protects.”
it was entitled to immunity from the plaintiffs’ claims, blaming the damage on deficiencies in the original design and construction of the floodwall. For nearly eight years, Duval has presided over a raft of litigation spawned by levee and floodwall failures. He said last week’s decision is likely his last significant ruling in the litigation. “One central theme has been painfully obvious throughout this entire process; many of the levees protecting New Orleans and the surrounding area were tragically flawed,” Duval wrote. But the Flood Control Act of 1928 gives the Corps “virtually absolute immunity, no matter how negligent it might have been in designing and

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.

• Baseball Troy 10, Sidney 3 SIDNEY — The final may have been 10-3, but Troy coach Ty Welker was stressed all the same. “That was one of the closest 10-3 games I’ve ever been a part of,” he said after his Trojans knocked off the Sidney Yellow Jackets Monday to stay undefeated in Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division play. That’s because it was a 1-0 game until the top of the fifth. After Sidney (4-6, 1-2) recorded two quick outs, the Trojans worked the bases loaded. That’s when Alex Magoteaux hit a bases-clearing three-run double to give the Trojans (8-3, 3-0) some breathing room, and Troy tacked on four more in the sixth and two more in the seventh just to be sure. “We worked hard to get those three runs in the fifth,” Welker said. “Then they’d get one, we’d get a couple more, they’d answer back and we’d answer that. And They even had the bases loaded in the seventh, but we got out of that, too.” Ben Langdon got the win, striking out five, walking four and giving up two hits in 5 1-3 innings of work to improve to 40 on the season. Dylan Cascaden was 2 for 3 with a double and two RBIs and Greg Johnson was 3 for 3 with an RBI and two runs. Troy Christian 6, Houston 2 HOUSTON — Freshman Levi Simms showed up in a big way for Troy Christian Monday night, getting his first varsity win as a pitcher in a 6-2 showing against Houston. Simms threw a complete game with nine strikeouts and worked his way out of jams on several occasions. Houston left nine runners on base. The Eagles broke open a 2-2 in the top of the seventh
Weather wipes out busy Tuesday slate Tipp tennis only lucky team, routs Warriors Staff Reports TIPP CITY — Tippecanoe made short work of Northwestern Tuesday — luckily for the Red Devils — finishing a 5-0 sweep before the heavy rains hit the Miami County area.

MIAMI COUNTY singles 6-2, 6-0. Michael Keller and Adam Southers won at first doubles 60, 6-1.

Tippecanoe (6-1, 6-0) hosts Eaton today. • Rainout Roundup The Red Devil tennis team was the only lucky one Tuesday, as the rain washed out the rest of the baseball, softball and ten-
nis that was on the schedule. Troy baseball’s Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division game against Sidney at Fifth Third Field was rained out — as was Troy Christian baseball’s Metro Buckeye Conference showdown against Dayton Christian, which was to have been played right before.

Heavy hearts Boston wins in Cleveland the day after tragedy CLEVELAND (AP) — Mike Napoli hit a three-run double in Boston’s seven-run second inning and the Red Sox, playing with heavy hearts one day after the deadly bombings back home, beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday night. Boston’s players were already en route to Cleveland when they learned of the explosions near the Boston Marathon’s finish line that killed three and injured more than 170. The Red Sox were hoping to bring some relief to those affected by the tragedy, and they may have while winning their fourth straight. The series opener was also Indians manager Terry Francona’s first game against the Red Sox, the team he led to two World Series titles during eight seasons in Boston. Helped by five walks, the Red Sox scored seven runs in the second off Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) and gave Felix Doubront (1-0) all the support he needed.

An attack on us all BY JOHN LEICESTER AP Sports Columnist Women’s marathon world record-holder Paula Radcliffe voiced the question on many lips: “There are some very sick people out there, who would do something like this?” Whoever he, she or they are, the attacks on the Boston Marathon were a monstrous act. Targeting an activity — running — that is so quintessentially human and so bursting with life made the perpetrators, by definition, inhuman and anti-life. The attackers’ identities remain unknown. But that, plus the question “why?” and their motives, didn’t immediately feel quite as important as “how could you?” How could anyone seek to destroy the simple pleasure of running? What type of person wants death and horror to replace an activity so healthy, one that binds people and communities together, makes them feel good about themselves and which has been a human need and skill, very much part of us, since long before the legend developed of a messenger who ran from the plain of Marathon to Athens in ancient Greece? The attackers, perhaps as children, must have run at some time in their lives, put one foot in front of another quickly, perhaps even felt those sensations of empowerment and well-being that running can bring.

Browns ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 got to show that I can play at this level and make adjustments. “Now that it’s my second year here, it’s my time to take control and be the guy. They’re not going to stick me out there if they don’t think I’m the guy who can win games.” New Browns coach Rob Chudzinski is overseeing the three-day voluntary minicamp at the franchise’s training facility after being hired as Cleveland’s 14th full-time head coach on Jan. 10. The minicamp opened one day after FBI and Internal Revenue Service agents executed four search warrants at the Knoxville, Tenn., headquarters of Pilot Flying J, whose CEO is new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam III. At an afternoon press conference in Knoxville, Haslam acknowledged that the investigation could cast a negative light on his NFL franchise. “First of all, I apologize,
because the last thing we ever want to do is put any kind of blemish on the city of Cleveland, which we’ve grown to love, or the Browns,” he said. “We’ll manage things down here. And guys, it’s the first week we can really practice on the field, so let’s focus on that.” Haslam said he has spoken with Browns CEO Joe Banner, team president Alec Scheiner, general manager Michael Lombardi, and Chudzinski about the situation. But the first-time head coach said he wasn’t concerned about it affecting his work. “Obviously, I don’t know too much about what’s going on with that,” Chudzinski said. “I’ve got enough on my plate. Nothing has changed about what we’re doing here.” Haslam echoed that sentiment, relaying his conversation with the Browns’ football braintrust. “They said, ‘Is everything OK?’ and I said, ‘Hey, we’re great,’” Haslam said.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Maybe winning really does take care of everything. For Augusta National, sizing up Adam Scott for his own green jacket was a beautiful way to end what had been shaping as a messy Masters. The lasting image was Scott arching his back with both arms thrust in the air after he made a 12-foot birdie putt in the playoff, not European Tour chief referee John Paramor explaining to 14-year-old Guan Tianlang why he was being docked one shot for slow play. An Australian in a green jacket — especially Adam Scott, the most popular first-time major champion since Phil Mickelson — should be far more memorable than Tiger Woods holding out his arm to take an illegal drop on the 15th hole. Listening to Scott so graciously pay homage to Australian golf great Greg Norman was much better than hearing Fred Ridley give a tutorial on Rule 33-7. And one more thing. Winning might take care of any doubts to outlaw the anchored stroke for long putters, like the one Scott pressed against his chest when he sank the two biggest putts of his career — a 20-footer on the 18th hole that got him into the playoff, and the 12-footer on the 10th hole to win in overtime over Angel Cabrera. The U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient are expected to announce shortly whether they will go ahead with the ban on anchoring, which would start in 2016. They say the proposed rule is to define what a golf stroke should be, and that they have no empirical evidence to suggest anyone has an advantage. Results shouldn’t count,

Adam Scott celebrates with caddie Steve Williams after making a birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win the Masters Sunday in Augusta, Ga. either, especially the fact that Scott’s win gave long putters the career Grand Slam. Four of the last six major champions have used the long putter, starting with Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship. Supporters of the ban would call that a trend. Opponents could argue it’s a small sample. Of course, to suggest that Scott gained an advantage by using the longer putt would be to overlook that he didn’t make a putt longer than 4 feet from the third hole of the final round until that birdie putt on the 18th curled in the back of the cup. If he had, Scott might have won by five shots. That’s how well he struck the ball in the rain on Sunday. It also would overlook the final four holes of the
British Open last summer, when Scott missed par putts on all of them that cost him the claret jug. Was the long putter an advantage at Augusta but not at Lytham? Geoff Ogilvy summed it up nicely last summer when he said of Scott’s long putter, “It just makes his bad days better. It doesn’t make his good days better.” Then again, Scott never seriously contended in a major championship until after he switched to the long putter at the 2011 Match Play Championship. He tied for second at the Masters that year. He now has finished among the top 15 in the last six majors, including his win at the Masters. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but the last question to Scott in his press conference was about the
long putter. He then went through a hole-by-hole description of his round — the 9-iron he hit for his second shot on the 505-yard 11th hole; the wedge he hit for his second shot on the 440-yard 14th. “You knew my feeling on it all, that it was inevitable that big tournaments would be won with this equipment,” Scott said. “These are the best players in the world, and they practice thousands of hours. They are going to get good with whatever they are using.” Scott fears that the USGA and R&A already have made up their minds. USGA president Glen Nager took part in a youth initiative last week at Augusta. He declined to say anything about long putters because the decision is pending. “We are all waiting to hear what’s going to happen,” Scott said. “I don’t know that this is going to impact any decisions at all.” He’s right about that. Closing statements were made in February when the PGA Tour, along with the PGA of America, weighed in with their objections to the proposed rule, while the European Tour and LPGA Tour did not object. Scott winning the Masters is not enough to stop jury deliberations to present more evidence. Besides, if the governing bodies were looking to build their case at Augusta, they would have settled on Guan. The Chinese teenager started using a belly putter about six months before he won the Asia-Pacific Amateur to earn a spot in the Masters. The fear is that more kids will start using anchored strokes under the best instruction, and it won’t be long before conventional putters go the way of the 1-iron.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 struck out seven. Monday’s tragic events in Boston brought a somber tone to Francona’s reunion as well as to the Red Sox. Before the game, in a clubhouse devoid of its usual pregame sound and bustle, several players spoke of how a memorable Patriots Day win over Tampa Bay turned horrific. “It’s weird,” pitcher Jon Lester said. “You see these things, it’s like movies. For it
to hit home like this, to be on that sidewalk plenty of times, eaten at those restaurants plenty of times, it hits right at home.” With the American flag clinging to the pole and at half-staff, the Red Sox and Indians, wearing black armbands, solemnly took the field for a moment of silence before the national anthem to honor those who lost their lives in the Boston bombings. As players placed their caps over their hearts, closed
their eyes and bowed their heads, Boston’s “B” logo appeared on the left-field scoreboard with “STRONG” written underneath. And then before the first pitch, Fenway Park music standard “Sweet Caroline” filled the ballpark, another nod to Boston and moving forward. Cincinnati and Philadelphia were tied 0-0 in the top of the ninth in a second rain delay at time of press.
like as Minster came to town and handed the Buccs an 11-1 defeat in five innings. The loss for Covington is it’s seventh in the past eight games after starting the season off 3-0.
