A 21-year-old babysitter charged with murdering a 4-year-old girl made his initial appearance in court Monday. The child died Saturday following an alleged fall down a flight of 16 steps Thursday night in a Piqua home. Charged with murder, Travis Lee Gauldin was given a $500,000 bond by Judge Elizabeth Gutmann during his video arraignment in Miami County Municipal Court, in addition to a $50,000 bond for an unrelated domestic violence charged filed against him Friday. A preliminary hearing on the murder charge is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday while a pretrial conference regarding the domestic violence charge is slated for May 16. Malisa DeLaSancha, 4, of Piqua, died Saturday at the Children’s Medical Center in Dayton following her fall two days earlier on April 12 at her home, located at 1012 Caldwell St., where a makeshift memorial in tribute to the girl was erected over the weekend. The child was airlifted to the hospital by CareFlight following her fall after being transported to Upper Valley Medical Center early Friday morning. Gauldin had been living at the residence and was in a relationship with the victim’s mother, police say, but court documents state he resides at 506 Lake St., Troy. At the time of the alleged murder, Gauldin was babysitting the victim and at least one other child while the victim’s

champion, and Cevin Wagner was voted as National Bowling Coach of the Year. The Troy High School’s Boys bowling team was also overall champion in the GWOC league and qualified at the state level. Michelle Zelnick, a freshman, finished fifth in two events at state competition. At Troy Junior High, academic and athletic achievements were distinguished. The video club started this year with videos posted to the website. Both the junior high volleyball seventh grade and eighth grade teams finished their season 18-1. Eighth grade student Bailey Williams won the regional finals of the National Middle School History Bee. One of the district’s Title I schools, Forest Elementary School was nominated to be a State Hall of Fame School. Herman also pointed out the mosaic project at Van Cleve Sixth Grade. The entire building participated in making stain glass windows that will be on display in the building. Herman also mentioned the excellent quality of art work which is displayed each year at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center each year.

special education program at Troy City Schools. “As you can see, it is very expensive as we spend over $6 million to $7 million dollars a year, with the cost constantly going up. “All these things I mentioned make it harder each year to maintain a top quality school system. All we want is to be able to meet the needs of all our students. Presently I know we do a good job of taking care of the students/children of Troy. We will continue to do so,” Herman said. Despite the financial and academic disparity within Troy’s diverse student population, Herman listed off the numerous positive achievements of the district beginning with its “Excellent with Distinction” state report card. “We were only one of 86 schools out of 609 to achieve ‘Excellent with Distinction,’ said Herman, noting the district achieved all 26 indicators
for the first time ever. “It is extremely rewarding to our staff, students and community to receive Excellent with Distinction.” Herman said its administration has also been recognized for its efforts such as district treasurer Craig Jones being honored with the state’s recognition for “Good Financial Accounting” as well as being designated as a “benchmark district” for low non-instructional spending in its central office. “The district already runs a lean operation and has been recognized for its financial stewardship,” Herman said. “We’re controlling discretionary costs as much as we can,” Herman said. “We are spending your tax dollars wisely. Using this responsible spending policy, we have still achieved unprecedented academic success this past year and we want to continue this
positive momentum.” Herman said the district has implemented several costcutting measures including: the wage freeze, energy audit and utility costs, combining the transportation and maintenance operation, computer shutdown, reduction of paper, and the district’s recent severance buyout program which 35 employees enrolled in which will save $6.4 million in the first four years. Herman also said with the buyout will come a reduction in staff. The last two years, 17 positions were eliminated and next year approximately 11 will go unfilled with a total of 28 positions in three years. “Our hope is that the economic conditions will get better and that we can manage our way through until then. We will continue to look for solutions that will help us extend our financial outlook
into the future. Hopefully, we find solutions. If not, there will come a time when we will either need to cut staff and programs or seek ways to increase our revenue,” Herman said. Herman closed his address, which ranged from its achievements and the district’s pending hurdles including technology changes, aging buildings and uncertain future funding for operation from the state and federal sources. “All these things I mentioned make it harder each year to maintain a top quality school system,” Herman said. “All we want is to be able to meet the needs of all our students. Presently I know we do a good job of taking care of the students and children of Troy. We will continue to do so.“ For more information about Troy City Schools, visit www.troy.k12.oh.us.
plete the classes at the high school. If they need help, a teacher is in the computer lab to assist them at all times. The program costs a student $50 per half-credit. Dr. Todd Rappold said funds for the program offset the costs to “break-even” since the students are paying for the credit recovery program. Williams noted the same online program is offered at the Upper Valley Career
Center which costs approximately $120 per half credit. Rappold saidthe program is a success and the students stay at school to stay on track for graduation. Williams also noted the online classes are useful so students don’t return to the same teacher to retake the class and possibly fail again. Williams said he found students use the classroom time as a “refresher course” to tie in to the online program, which helps them successfully pass the online course for their earned credit. The board also reviewed
the district's Race to the Top updates. The federal education grant requires all participating districts to update the board of education of its progress. The spreadsheet shows the district's progress, "target" areas, its goals and potential obstacles and risks. Miami East was awarded $20,000 per year for four years through the RttT federal grant. The spreadsheet is available on the district's website. The board also approved the high school's athletic/academic probation policy for the 2012-2013 year.
The board also discussed possible lunch price increases due to the new federal nutrition guidelines effective next fall. The serving size for fruits and vegetables will be increased, as is mandatory by the federal guidelines. "We are looking at lunch prices for next year," Rappold said. Rappold said prices have not been increased in approximately four years. The date of the next board meeting has not been set due to scheduling conflicts. For additional information, visit www.miamieast.k12.oh.us.
Waiting • CONTINUED FROM A1 credits to move on to the next course and toward graduation. Williams said the program is “user-friendly” and has been a success due to the students using study hall time to complete the program or finish work at home online. Williams said teachers pick out the requirements needed to earn the credit and said the students com-

the community the best schools possible.” At the end of his speech, Herman said, “I know that our community wants and demands a quality education for all the children of Troy. Our goal has been — and continues to be — the maintaining of the quality we have here in Troy. It is no accident that our schools are top quality. It takes hard work and solid community support.” Herman said the district’s job is made easier through its talented students, asking those in attendance to stand up and be recognized. “They are definitely our best resource and will someday be the leaders in the world.” Herman said “almost all schools face an uncertain financial climate.” “We see improvement in some areas and a decline in others. Many schools are facing devastating financial situations. Major reductions in staffing and programming. At the present we can “maintain” not grow.” Herman noted that Troy City Schools are facing the highest percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced lunches with more than 42 percent of students. “I think this is important to understand that changes are occurring with our student population and within our city,” Herman said. Herman said the “one size fits all” does not work in education. “Our educational system is so diverse in Troy,” Herman said. “As our students change, so do their needs. We must have numerous programs so that we can meet all of our students’ needs.” Herman spoke about the district’s blended learning program for students with classes online and the district’s Special Needs department with more than 513 students. “The cost can be well over $100,000 for just one student alone,” Herman said of its

Utilities take center stage at council meeting BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com With discussions ranging from new customer billing software to pressing capital improvement projects, utility issues took center stage at Monday night’s Covington Village Council meeting. As part of the process of modernizing the village utility billing system, council members heard a presentation by Mike Gustin and Brian Ikenberry of Creative Microsystems Inc. of Englewood on software systems their firm offers to cities and villages. Gustin, utility product manager, said his company currently provides software services to a number of area communities, including Troy, Tipp City, Arcanum and Greenville. He said the company has been providing the services for about 25 years. During the presentation, Gustin showed council members what information, such as payment and usage data, could be provided to customers on bills, which could be mailed to customers or delivered electronically. Mayor Ed McCord asked whether customers would be able to pay by credit card since that’s how most people pay for things and Gustin said that could be incorporated into the system. Tim Angle, the newest council member, inquired about email delivery of
utility bills. “I get a lot of bills by email,” Angle said, noting that cuts down on paper. Gustin said the electronic options include sending bills by email or enabling customers to access their billing accounts on a website. Councilman Scott Tobias inquired whether billing for trash service could be incorporated on the same bill as for water and sewer services. Gustin said merging the services onto one bill would not be a problem, also noting that down the road the police department and other village services could be added to the computer system with software offered by his company. The cost of the utility billing software services would be $21,753, which includes a $2,779 annual fee. The village also is in the process of modernizing the utility meter reading process, which Gustin said would blend into the new computer software. McCord thanked Gustin and Ikenberry for their presentation, saying council will be discussing the issue in the future. “We’re serious about moving forward,” McCord said. The second major discussion on the agenda was a proposed list of capital improvement projects for the sanitary sewer system. McCord said he and Donald “Bud” Weer of the Covington Board of Public
COVINGTON Affairs have met several times to discuss pressing issues for the sewer system. McCord distributed the list of capital projects, which he said were in no particular order of importance: smoke testing and video of sewer lines on the east side of the village (cost estimated at $40,000); monthly billing with handheld meter reading devices (already purchased) and software ($20,000); sewage plant study ($30,000, half of which might be paid for with a grant); replacing one pump at the treatment plant ($11,000, with one of the four pumps already being replaced); and trickling filters repair ($80,000). “These are all inter-related and these are things we need to move forward with,” McCord said. “We cannot delay any longer or we’re going to be in deep trouble,” he said. Council members were asked to review the list, and the issues will be discussed at future meetings. In a related matter, in emergency action council approved an infiltration ordinance which prohibits village residents or businesses from tying downspouts, floor drains or sump pumps into the sanitary sewer system. Village officials have noted that the EPA prohibits the flow of storm water into the sanitary sewer system because
the inflow is treated at the sewage plant the same as sewage, leading to a possible overload of the system. In other action, council: • Heard McCord report the village has received 14 applications for the new village administrator’s position. The application deadline is April 27. • Repealed purchasing guidelines approved in December 2009. It was noted the village council approves the Ohio Revised Code each year and the village purchasing guidelines were more restrictive that required by the state. • Approved a contract with Wise Lawn Care to spray weeds on village retention ponds and at the village hall at a cost of $300. • Heard village Solicitor Frank Patrizio report efforts to gain payment of delinquent income taxes has been successful, with those owing the most money being contacted by mail. “It was very well worth the effort,” Patrizio said. • Approved a contract with Bug-ABoo for mosquito spraying at a total cost of $920 for four applications. • Authorized the submission of an application for a $15,000 grant through the Miami County Community Block Grant program to help finance a sewage treatment plant study. • Learned a steak fry and silent auction will be conducted Saturday, May 5, with proceeds going toward the Summer Bash festival.

EDITORIAL The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Ky., on the American Legislative Exchange Council: Chances are most readers have never heard of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a right-wing group that has fueled reactionary legislation across the country, including Florida’s notorious “Stand Your Ground” law. That was the law that many blame for the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old boy who was gunned down by a neighborhood watch volunteer on Feb. 26. Trayvon was walking down a suburban Florida street having visited a convenience store to buy soft drinks and candy. Pressure has been brought to bear on a number of large corporations that help fund ALEC’s work, which allegedly promotes “pro-business” legislation in state legislatures across the nation. The ALEC staff drafts model bills that conservative, mostly Republican, lawmakers push in the individual states. Two of these companies, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, have resigned in the wake of the Trayvon Martin case.

And that isn’t a bad thing; college graduates earn much more on average than those who lack degrees, and a skilled workforce can produce goods and services of greater value. Unfortunately, many students are leaving school without the requisite skills for an increasingly demanding job market — but with unmanageable debt that threatens the economic recovery, according to National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys President William Brewer. “As bankruptcy lawyers, we’re the first to see the cracks in the foundation,” Brewer said to The Associated Press this week. “We were warning of mortgage problems in 2006 and 2007. Now we’re seeing the same signs of distress. We’re seeing huge defaults on student loans and people driven into financial difficulties because of them.” While students who attend for-profit colleges make up just 26 percent of all borrowers, they account for 43 percent of defaults since 2008, according to U.S. Department of Education statistics. The loan-default rate at for-profit colleges is 11.6 percent, compared to just 6 percent for public colleges and 4 percent for traditional private colleges. In a global economy, higher education isn’t just a necessity for those pursuing careers; it’s a crucial component of a competitive economy. Congress and the White House should treat it as such, not as a cash cow for their lobbyist friends.

DOONESBURY
You’re never too old to have too much fun Yes, I am grown. Yes, I live on my own, have my own job and can provide for myself. What that does not mean in my family, however, is that I am too old. I am not too old to hunt Easter baskets or Easter eggs. Some families laugh and consider me and my cousins "too old" to partake in such tom foolery; however we make it fun, we make it amusing and we make it exactly what we want to do on Easter to celebrate the special day. Of course our family goes through the whole riga-ma-roo of stuffing our faces and having to sit still for about 15 minutes prior to the fun festivities beginning. When they do start however, watch out. Each parent takes responsibility for their children who are present for the year. They take the baskets, and off to hiding me and my cousins go. What getting "older" does mean however is that the basket hiding spots are not so easy anymore. For some reason, I have been the last person to find my bag for the last two or three years. My mom hides them in difficult places, don't make fun. Once we find our bags/baskets
Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist we open those up to a few of our usual presents from our grandparents, a chocolate filled egg from my grandmother's church, the little egg-shaped gum in an egg carton, and for some reason, peeps. Then the mothers head back out to hide our eggs. The egg conquest has become a competition to see who can find their eggs, first. This year, one of my cousin’s boyfriend decided he was going to say he would beat me. Well, he didn't. I won, (at least in that competition.) We open those eggs up, then we just enjoy being around each other on a new day, a new morning for a new start. Easter is special and I thoroughly enjoy it. While I like to focus on the reason for the day, there is no harm in partaking in
— Beverly Girten Troy
the made-up aspects of the day either. As I surprised many people, telling them that I still search for baskets and eggs, I got to thinking. When are we too old to do anything, really? Why do we get “too old?” I don't understand that concept and I never really will. Why do we think we have to stop having fun just because we hit a certain age, a certain demographic or a certain benchmark in society? I wanted to hide the “adults” presents, but I didn't. I just let them have them and we went about our day. I just don't understand the excuse of “I'm too old.” In my eyes we are never really “too old” to do anything. I love when I see parents sliding down the slide after their children at a playground and the smile it puts on the children's face. I love when I see “older” citizens playing games together at a park and I love when I am completely blindsided by the unexpected. I had my picture taken with a sweet little 95-year-old women last fall at one of my races. Want to know why? She was 95 years old, smiling and walked a 5-K with the
rest of us. She wasn't “too old” to do anything. Sure, she walked it, she didn’t run or even jog, but she did it and she completed it. The smile she had on her face when she finished, received a medal and a standing ovation, was priceless — so much so that I had to meet her, shake her hand and take a picture with her. Another example of not being “too old” — I had a sweet couple come into the running store the other day. They are training for their first 5K through their church. They both bought new shoes, but the man, with trepidation, bought bright yellow shoes. He smiled about them and even asked, “Will I glow in the dark?” My point: Don't give in to the “I’m too old to do this or that concept.” It is super silly. We weren’t meant to stop having fun, we weren’t meant to stop living just because we hit a certain age and we definitely were not meant to let life pass us up because “we get too old.”

White was joined by Abbott Nutrition Vice President of Supply Chain John Ginascol to present Abbott and its vision to Tipp City. “Abbott had a vision to design and build the aseptic plant of the future,” Ginascol said, “We’re excited that Tipp City is partnering with us.” Aseptic refers to a packaging process. In aseptic packaging, a food product and its packager are sterilized separately and then combined and sealed under a sterilized atmosphere. In comparison, regular canning seals and sterilizes the package and item as one unit. According to Abbott, aseptic packaging will expand the use of new ingredients, shorten product development time and reduce energy use during manufacturing. The state, district and city leaders also appeared to be excited about the partnership. Tipp City Mayor Dee Gillis called it a “win-winwin-win situation” — for the United States, for Ohio, for Tipp City and for Abbott. Boehner said there was “no better place” Abbott could have built

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Teens: If you don’t smoke, don’t start Dear Annie: The facts about tobacco use are startling. Every day, nearly 4,000 kids under the age of 18 try their first cigarette, and another 1,000 become regular smokers. To hook kids, tobacco companies spend billions of dollars each year targeting kids like me with advertising near schools and malls, and they even alter these deadly products to look and taste like candy! They also oppose efforts to make it more difficult for kids to obtain cigarettes, like tobacco tax increases and smokefree laws. With almost 20 percent of high school students who are current smokers, we need a change, and it needs to be both youth led and adult supported. Cigarette companies cannot survive unless kids smoke, so I am thankful to be working with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids as a young advocate to fight to reduce tobacco use and its devastating consequences on youth. Your readers can get involved by visiting www.tobaccofreekids.org to learn more about what is being done in their community and how they can help. — Judy Hou, age 17, volunteer at Y Street, The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, Richmond, Va. Dear Judy Hou: Many thanks for your terrific letter. We hope it will inspire readers to become involved, as well as convince others not to take that first puff. Smoking kills, and it can harm those around you. If you already smoke, please quit. It doesn't make you cool. It makes you stink. Dear Annie: My friend "Steve" has been married for 10 years. Six months ago, he had an affair. The other woman became pregnant, so Steve left his wife. But within a few months, he realized he had made a terrible mistake. The new girlfriend was verbally abusive and controlling and interfered with his relationship with his other children. He finally ended things and returned to his wife. Now the Other Woman is refusing visitation with the new baby. Steve and his wife have hired an attorney to fight this. I know Steve has tried very hard to put his life back together and wants to do the right thing. But I was disheartened to see the new mother badmouth him on Facebook, calling him a deadbeat dad and telling horrible lies about his family. Steve pays regular child support and has already added the baby to his insurance. Meanwhile, throughout her pregnancy, this woman drank and smoked, even though Steve pleaded with her to take better care of herself. This is a small community, and I am appalled that she has dragged Steve's name through the mud. It is affecting his children at school. I worry about this woman raising a child. Steve thinks he has to accept the public bashing because he cheated. Is there any way to get his side of the story out there? — A Friend Dear A Friend: This is what friends are for. Feel free to refute the lies when the opportunities present themselves. But we caution you not to say unkind things about the Other Woman. Steve has his hands full, and there's no reason to make the woman more defensive and angry than she already is. Dear Annie: This is in regard to the letter from "California," whose stepdaughter's children keep playing with their iPhones during dinner. I had this problem with my sister. During dinner, she kept playing with her phone, so I snapped a photo of her with my iPhone and sent it to her with a text message: "Having a great time. Wish you were here!" She laughed and put her phone down, and we had a nice visit. — Iowa Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
You may not know it, but you have chopstick choices Dear Readers: Wow! I asked you for hints on using chopsticks, and boy, did you respond! • Carol S., via email, wrote: “I am a quilter, and many times I use chopsticks as a guide tool to help direct the fabric through the feed dogs (the metal teeth on the sewing machine — Heloise). Also, when turning something inside out that you want to have nice corners, use the chopsticks to smooth out the seams and form the corners.” • Mia P. in California wrote: “I use chopsticks to stir small items that I’m dyeing.” • Tony in California wrote:
Hints from Heloise Columnist “As a clock repairman, I use chopsticks to hold various washers and parts to polish the brass. They do not break easily and are tapered to hold the part nicely.” • Kathy G., via email, wrote: “I use chopsticks to stir iced tea if I add sugar or lemon in it. A quick rinse and
wipe with a paper towel, and it goes back in the drawer. This way, I don’t use up all the spoons.” Thanks one and all! — Heloise SOFTENING BREAD Dear Heloise: I bake bread a lot, and sometimes the crust on a fresh loaf hardens to the point of not being able to cut the bread. It doesn’t often happen, but when it does, I wrap the loaf in a damp cloth and put it in a plastic bag overnight. By morning, the crust is soft, and cutting is no problem. — Joyce in Vienna, W.Va. I love fresh-baked bread
with some orange marmalade and a cup of coffee. My hint? I use a serrated bread knife to cut right through. — Heloise RECYCLE Dear Readers: Who doesn’t enjoy a taste of chocolate after a meal or as a treat during the day? Have you ever thought about the aluminum foil that the chocolates come wrapped in? One major manufacturer uses more than 100 square miles of aluminum foil every day to produce just one type of treat. Aluminum foil can be recycled, so consider recycling these wrappers from now on. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, April 18, 2012 Those of you who are celebrating a birthday are likely to get involved in several new, successful endeavors in the year ahead. Although each might be relatively small, their collective returns could add up into a hefty sum. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Establish your own agenda if you can. You’ll know better than anyone what you need to accomplish and what can wait. Don’t let anybody or anything take you off course. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Being in a devilish mood, you’re dying to tell others the secret you possess. If you give in and tell all, you’ll be in the soup. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — A social involvement could prove to be both enjoyable and instructive, especially if you’re interacting with a small group. Intimate circles have a way of revealing much. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Because you have the capacity to focus on significant objectives, achieving success in your endeavors is likely. Once you establish a goal, you won’t be dissuaded from your task. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re not likely to be much of a talker, but when you do speak up it will be with something that needs to be said, and will be of extreme value to your listeners. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A close friend of yours could receive some important information from a reliable source and won’t be remiss about sharing it with you. What you learn could make or save you money. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — When making an important agreement with another, be sure to scrutinize all the fine print. Chances are it’ll be those nasty “insignificant” items that cause trouble down the line. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This is an excellent day to rid get rid of all those nasty, minor jobs that have piled up. Clear the decks so that you can make room for more important projects coming your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — A social contact you’ve established could be of big help concerning something that is occurring in another area of your life. She or he will be just the person you need to help out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Drop everything and take care of something important that only you can bring to a successful conclusion. It probably involves a domestic affair. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A perfect opportunity to bring out into the open a critical matter that you’ve been reluctant to discuss may present itself. Don’t waste this chance to unload. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Think in terms of making a lot of small profits instead of scoring one big kill. Little gains have better chances of occurring, and they can add up into something significant. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, April 18, the 109th day of 2012. There are 257 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 18, 1942, an air squadron from the USS Hornet led by Lt. Col. James H. Doolittle raided Tokyo and other Japanese cities during World War II. On this date: • In 1775, Paul Revere began his famous ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Mass., warning American colonists that the British were coming. • In 1906, a devastating earth-
quake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires; estimates of the final death toll range between 3,000 and 6,000. • In 1912, the RMS Carpathia, carrying survivors of the Titanic disaster, arrived in New York. • In 1934, the first laundromat (called a “washateria”) opened in Fort Worth, Texas. • In 1942, the first World War II edition of The Stars and Stripes was published as a weekly newspaper. • In 1945, famed American war correspondent Ernie Pyle, 44, was
killed by Japanese gunfire on the Pacific island of Ie Shima, off Okinawa. • In 1949, the Republic of Ireland was proclaimed. • In 1978, the Senate approved the Panama Canal Treaty, providing for the complete turnover of control of the waterway to Panama on the last day of 1999. • Today’s Birthdays: Actress Hayley Mills is 66. Actor James Woods is 65. Actor Rick Moranis is 59. Actor Eric Roberts is 56. Talk show host Conan O’Brien is 49. Actress America Ferrera is 28.
Kansas officials criticize storm chasers crazy. It was dangerous,” Homman said. “I’ve never seen anything like it in my 27 years of working in emergency service.” The criticism is not fair to professional storm chasers, said Lanny Dean, who operates a Tulsa, Okla.-based business called extremechasetours.com. Professionals educate the public and provide information to law enforcement, emergency workers and the National Weather Service, Dean said. “We give ground truth reports. Radar doesn’t reach all the way to the ground,” Dean said. “I wonder if none of us had been on that event, if there would have been any more deaths (six were killed in Oklahoma). Veteran chasers really participate in getting the warnings out.” He acknowledged that traffic was so heavy north of Solomon on Saturday that he changed locations. “If we had been caught in the convergence, it could have been a dangerous situation,” Dean said. “I personally did not wit-

people who were truly out there doing a service. It’s not the professional storm spotters. I’m talking about the idiots chasing the storm.” Tyler Henoch, who was working as a storm spotter Saturday for KSAL radio, said four Kansas Highway Patrol units passed him with sirens blaring “trying to get people out of the way,” Henoch said, and other drivers “would not
move.” Legitimate storm chasers were not misbehaving, he said. “But right behind those guys were a bunch of amateurs, teenagers, hanging out of windows with video cameras.” Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said he saw lines of traffic in several areas Saturday night even as funnels were dropping out of the clouds.

SALINA, Kan. (AP) — So many people were chasing severe weather in parts of central Kansas during the weekend that roads were jammed and emergency responders were hindered from doing their work, some central Kansas safety officials said. The criticism brought a strong reaction from professional storm chasers, who said they provide valuable information to public safety officials and The National Weather Service during severe weather, The Salina Journal reported. Chancy Smith, director of Dickinson County Emergency Management, said some roads in the northwest section of the country were like “a funeral procession” Saturday and some storm chasers would not allow emergency vehicles to pass or drove over downed power lines. And Dickinson County Administrator Brad Homman, from Solomon, said he saw bumper-tobumper traffic near Solomon. “It was outrageously stupid. People were driving

“You had to wait to get around them. They were oblivious to what was going on, as dangerous as it was,” he said. “They were parked on the sides of the road, on bridges. They were a pain. They’re gawkers out where they don’t need to be.” Dean’s business books 6-, 10- and 15-day storm chasing tours from April 20 through mid-August. A 10-day excursion through “tornado alley” in the Midwest costs from $3,200 to $3,500, said Dean, who is in his 22nd season as a storm chaser. “We’re guilty as anyone for trying to capitalize on this. It is income throughout the spring and summer months,” he said. “We try to police as best we can. You pull over for (emergency) vehicles. That’s a given. This is a gentlemen’s agreement,” Dean said. “The problem is that storm chasing has become mainstream.” Homman doesn’t see it that way. “He’s out making a living off of other people’s demise,” Homman said. “Stay in Texas or Oklahoma, or at least use due regard for our safety. That certainly wasn’t maintained (Saturday) from my observation.”

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western branches are Union trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Back in the race Troy sweeps Butler Staff Reports TROY — After beating Butler’s ace Taylore Cherry — who committed to playing college baseball for North Carolina — in an 8-4 game in front of several major league scouts on Monday, the Troy Trojans completed the sweep of the Aviators on Tuesday in Troy. Jordan Guillozet went 3 for 3 with a homer, a double and six RBIs as Troy moved to 4-2 in Greater Western Ohio Conference North play with a decisive 10-5 win over Butler. Dylan Cascaden went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and also doubled in the win. In yesterday’s win, Troy took advantage of Cherry’s lack of control on the mound.

MIAMI COUNTY homered in the fourth inning of the win on Monday. He went 2 for 4 with three RBIs. But the game ball went to Devon Alexander, who lasted 6 2-3 innings and improved to 4-0 on the season. “He kept us in the game,” Troy coach Ty Welker said. “He was a huge part of what we did. But our defense played well. Devon didn’t have any strikeouts, so there were 21 balls in play. Our defense really stepped up. “Those were two good wins. Vandalia’s a top-notch team,” Troy coach Ty Welker said. “They always compete for the GWOC title every year. I’m guessing here, but I think they may have won the last 14 out of 16 conference titles. So to get a sweep is nice.”

A clean sweep Trojans dominate Miami County meet BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com If the Miami County Invitational is all about bragging rights, then Tuesday’s meet was all about domination — in one way or another. In the team races, the Troy Trojans pulled off a sweep, with the girls obliterating the competition with 261 points — Miami East’s girls were second with 126.5 — and the boys outlasting Covington by a 171.2-127.2 score as plenty of individuals from around the county had big days.

OSU returns most of defense from 2011 COLUMBUS (AP) — While everyone seems to be talking about Urban Meyer’s new hurryup offense at Ohio State, the defense has been quietly going about its business. OK, maybe not exactly quietly. “I would say practices are a little more enthusiastic. A lot more fast tempo,” said lineman John
Simon, acknowledged as the leader of the defense. “It’s good for us. That’s what we need. It’s making guys think on their feet and think fast. That’s how games are played, so it’s getting us prepared.” The Buckeyes return nine starters on defense from a team that floundered at times during a 6-7 season. The defense was 27th
in the nation in points allowed and 19th in yardage permitted. But with Simon and Johnathan Hankins playing well up front this spring, and corners Travis Howard and Bradley Roby holding down the fort in the secondary, there are high hopes for much improvement this fall. There’s an edge to Meyer’s
practices that touches every player at every position. Almost every drill, every bit of conditioning, is a head-to-head competition. “It’s fun. Because last year there really wasn’t that much competition,” Hankins said. “To see each other fight every day every

“I felt great today,” Norris said. “I PRed in the 100 — which made me want to cry — and it feels good to be able to lead my team in the relays.” Norris was most pleased with her performance in the long jump, though — an event in which she was a regional qualifier last year. So far this season, Rector has won the competition in that event. But Tuesday, Norris beat Rector’s jump of 16-2 by three inches. “It was awesome — I finally did well in the long jump again,” Norris said. “And Ashley came over and said she was proud of me.” By the time the 200 rolled around, though, Norris was ready to call it a night. Once she won, she was swarmed by teammates with cell phones, turning it into an impromptu “press” conference. “I felt good in the 200, but I was ready to get it over with,” she said. “It had been a long day.” Her competition felt the same. • Call it a Comeback Troy’s boys dominated the sprints so convincingly Tuesday that even a dropped baton couldn’t stop them. Nick Zimmer and Blake Williams botched the final exchange during the 4x200 relay, but Devante Bush, Nick James and Zimmer had built an impressive lead, and the baton never left Troy’s lane. Williams was able to pick it up and bolt for the finish line, giving the team a time of 1:35.02 and helping them edge out Milton-Union’s Finfrock, Kain Smiley, Zach Pricer and Chris McGrath’s 1:35.22. “I’ve never seen that before, but I got to do it,” Williams said of dropping the baton and still winning. “I could see him (Zimmer) coming in tired, but we were close to our record so I took off at normal speed. He got it into my hand, but it dropped. It was the heat of the moment, and we both stood there looking at it for about two seconds thinking we’d DQed. But then I heard (Levi Fox) yelling to pick it up, so I did and took off with it.” It helped James finish off a perfect day, as he also won the 100 (11 seconds), the 200 (22.47 seconds) and was part of the 4x100 team with Bush, Miles Hibbler and Zimmer that won (43.39 seconds). “I just came out strong,” James said. “We were all trying to get prepped for Friday (at the Edwin C. Moses Relays), where we’re really going to be tested.” Covington actually held a four-point lead early in the meet, but Troy finished one-twothree in the 100, with Hibbler second (11.2 seconds) and Williams third (11.25 seconds), and suddenly the Trojans were up by 20 and never looked back. “I think we’ve got a really good sprint crew,” James said. “I’m very for-

Milton-Union’s Jake Finfrock leads Bradford’s Dylan Canan during the 400 Tuesday at the Miami County Invitational. Finfrock won the event, completing a County Invitational sweep for his high school career.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. David Freese walked to lead off the 10th off Sam LeCure (0-1). Tyler Greene came in as a pinch-runner and advanced on a sacrifice by Yadier Molina. After an intentional walk, reliever Bill Bray entered and
walked Daniel Descalso to load the bases. Carpenter, who returned to the bench after playing the last four games for the injured Lance Berkman, pinch-hit and worked the count full before flying out to right field. Jay Bruce’s throw home was unable to nab Greene. It was Carpenter’s 11 RBI of the season. Jason Motte (1-0) worked the 10th for St. Louis.

tunate as a senior to have such good teammates to train with. We push each other to the max, and our times drop as a result. We’ve got a really close bond.” So close that even a baton hitting the ground didn’t hurt … for now. “We’re going to have to work on that or we’re going to have a hard time Friday,” James said with a chuckle. • Career Sweep Milton-Union senior Jake Finfrock knew he’d have to change his attitude to complete the goal he set as a freshman. “I knew I had to go. With (Covington’s Lane) White and (Bradford’s Dylan) Canan behind me, I knew I had to run scared,” Finfrock said. It was everyone else that should have been frightened. Finfrock, beginning in lane six in the 400, took a huge lead at the start and pushed to the end, finishing in 50.71 seconds and completing a career sweep of the event at the Miami County Invitational for his career. “It’s a huge weight off my shoulders,” Finfrock said. “I set the goal when I was a freshman, and I trained hard. I knew there would be kids pushing me this year, so I trained harder and pushed myself harder than ever.” Finfrock won the 400 at the County meet three times in three attempts. He had to wait a full year to finish it off, though, as last year’s meet was rained out. And the race proved to be worth the wait. White finished the race in 50.9 seconds, closing the gap at the end and threatening to put an end to Finfrock’s sweep. But Finfrock showed he had enough to hold off the competition, gutting it out at the end. “Whenever someone fast comes up behind me, I run scared. That’s what
dad (Kevin) always told me to do,” Finfrock said. “The way he ran that back stretch, that was a statement,” MiltonUnion coach Michael Meredith said. “That was him saying, ‘I’m the best 400 runner in the county. Catch me if you can.’” • Running Angry C a t e l y n Schmiedebusch was edged in the 100 hurdles to start her day. Granted it was by a state qualifier — Bradford’s Shay LaFollette — but it still didn’t sit well with Troy’s hurdler. Particularly with how close the race was. “I was so mad,” Schmiedebusch said. “When I found out that I lost by .07 seconds, I was so mad.” So she took her frustrations out in the 300 hurdles. Schmiedebusch smoked the competition, winning in 48.65 seconds — more than a full second below her seed time. She was second in the 100 hurdles in 16.49 seconds, a hair behind LaFollette’s 16.42 seconds. “I was so nervous going into the 3s. I saw (LaFollette’s seed) time was only a second behind mine,” Schmiedebusch said. “But I got the job done. “My times haven’t been that great lately, and it’s only the third time I’ve gotten to run it. I’d been on vacation earlier in the year, and then the 300 got rained out right before it started at the Butler Invitational this weekend. I wanted to make sure this race was a good one.” It was LaFollette’s first year at the County meet — last year’s was rained out during her freshman season — but she already knew what she’d be up against. And with Schmiedebusch breathing down her neck last in the 100 hurdles, her hard work paid off.
“It’s the same teams here we go up against a lot, so I know about them,” she said. “I’ve been working really hard, and I was just kind of hoping that I could sprint after that last hurdle.” And, like Schiedebusch, LaFollette was also pleased with how the night went. “I ran better than I have the last couple meets,” she said. “It’s been cold and windy lately, so my times haven’t been what I’d like.” • Break out the Brooms Tippecanoe’s Grant Koch helped the Red Devils sweep the distance races on the boys side, winning the 800 (2:00.28) and the 1,600 (4:33.65), while teammate Sam Wharton cruised to a more-than30-second win in the 3,200 (9:34.51). Covington’s Tara Snipes, meanwhile, won both the 800 (2:28.36) and 1,600 (5:39.14) — and threw in a win in the 2,000 steeplechase (8:33.8) for good measure. And the Buccaneer boys had some sweeps of their own, with Troy Cron winning the 110 hurdles (15.68 seconds) and 300 hurdles (42.19 seconds) and Sam Christian winning the shot put (49-9) and discus (151-10). Troy’s girls relay teams swept the meet. The 4x800 team of Courtney Mazzulla, Katie-Grace Sawka, McKenna Poling and Melissa Short (10:47.72), the 4x200 team of Byrd, Huffman, Rector and Schmiedebusch (1:47.06) and the 4x400 team of Schmiedebusch, Huffman, Rector and Mariah Sano (4:19.94) all won in addition to the 4x100 team. Troy’s pole vaulters also swept, with Logan Terrell (13-6) leading a Trojan sweep of the top three spots and Abby Brinkman (9-0) winning on the girls side.

HILLS, AUBURN Mich. (AP) — Greg Monroe dribbled out from near his own basket all the way into the frontcourt. Then the 6-foot-11 center made a nice pass to Brandon Knight, who dunked the ball at the buzzer. On this night, it really was that easy for the Detroit Pistons. “Sometimes, there are just crazy nights like that,” Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. “Everything you shoot goes in. For them, everything they shoot doesn’t. We’ve all been there.” Knight had 28 points and seven assists, and the Pistons routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 11677 on Tuesday night in one of the NBA’s most lopsided games of the season. Tayshaun Prince added 15 points for Detroit and Jonas Jerebko scored 14. The Pistons led 61-38 at halftime and scored the first 16 points of the third quarter. Knight’s dunk made it 100-50 after three.
“That’s one of the worst games we’ve played in a long, long time. The Pistons played at least 10 times harder than we did,” Cleveland coach Byron Scott said. “We’ve got another game tomorrow, and I told them that we must have a better effort than this.” The Cavaliers were without rookie point guard Kyrie Irving, who was out with a right shoulder problem and hasn’t played since April 3. Irving could return Wednesday night against Philadelphia. Cleveland forward Alonzo Gee was a late scratch Tuesday because of a left ankle sprain. It was easily Detroit’s most lopsided victory of the season, and the only real suspense in the fourth quarter was whether the Pistons could match or exceed the biggest blowout in the entire league this season. According to STATS, LLC, the mark is Portland’s 112-68 victory over Charlotte on Feb. 1.

Buckeyes ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 play is fun. Practice is faster.” Meyer has gushed about Simon, in particular, this spring. Summoning up the name of a quarterback who led one of his Florida teams to a national championship, Meyer referred to Simon as “Tebowish.” Simon deflects that kind of high praise. “It’s a great honor everything that he says about me,” said the senior who led the team with seven sacks last season. “But we’ve got a lot of guys on this team who deserve that honor as well.” Mike Vrabel, who coached linebackers last year, is now in charge of the defensive linemen. He said having two great players on the line in Simon and Hankins has made his job simpler. “The better they play, the better I appear to coach,” he said. “When you’re blessed with great guys and great players, it’s easy to coach those guys. We’ve got to get the other guys going up to that standard. It’s easy for the other
guys to see what our expectation is because they don’t have to look too far. They can look to those guys right there how they compete and how they play.” So far, the defensive line has been overpowering. Getting a consistent rush on the quarterback and stopping the ground game has made it much easier for the secondary. Asked about the benefits of having an intimidating front line, cornerbacks coach Kerry Combs said everything stems from the play of the biggest guys. “They’re our best friends. Those guys are getting up-the-field pressure on the quarterback, not giving him time to throw. They’re phenomenal,” he said. “As a result, if you can get pressure with a four-man rush, and put seven in coverage, you’ve got a great chance to cover. If you have to get your pressure out of five- and six-man pressures, it’s a lot tougher on our guys. Right now we’re thrilled with the amount of pressure that the D-line is putting on the offense.”

Nashville tops Detroit, 3-1 DETROIT (AP) — Pekka Rinne made the Detroit Red Wings’ dominant performance meaningless. Rinne made 40 saves, and Kevin Klein scored a go-ahead goal 6:25 into the third period, lifting the Nashville Predators to a 3-1 win over Detroit on Tuesday night and a 31 lead in the first-round Western Conference playoff series. “Usually, the game gets easier when you face more pucks,” Rinne said. Nashville can eliminate Detroit in Game 5 on Friday night at home. “Now we’re in a tough situation,” Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “We’ve got to go down to Nashville and win one game.” Predators rookie Gabriel Bourque broke a scoreless tie 1:55 into the third period. Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall tied it 1:19 later with a powerplay goal that was waved off on the ice but reversed by video review. The Red Wings pulled goalie Jimmy Howard to add an extra skater with 1:31 left, but had to put him back in the net because Henrik Zetterberg was called for high-sticking with 55.8 seconds left. David Legwand’s power-play goal sealed the win with 39 seconds left. Rinne stopped the first 29 shots he faced, including a kick save on Lidstrom’s slap shot at the end of the second period.
“We weren’t very happy with the first and second,” Rinne said. “They had too many shots, too many scoring chances. We buckled down in the third period.” Howard made 14 saves. “It’s definitely disappointing, but they still have to win one more game,” Howard said. “I’m not that type of person just to roll over.” The Red Wings nearly took a 1-0 lead just before Klein’s goal, but Jiri Hudler’s shot hit a goal post. Martin Erat blew past Detroit’s defense, including Lidstrom, on the following sequence up the middle of the ice, drew three Red Wings to the left and passed the puck back to an uncovered Klein in front for a shot into the net vacated by the helpless Howard. “We had enough people back,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “We all end up chasing the puck for some reason. We made a mistake.” Babcock said the Predators made their share of miscues, too, but they were covered up by their 6-foot-5 Finn in net. “We have to make it easier on him,” Klein said. Panthers 4, Devils 3 NEWARK, N.J. — Brian Campbell scored on a second-period power play and Florida staged its greatest playoff comeback, rallying from an early three-goal deficit to beat New Jersey.

Bethel 7, TVS 0 WEST ALEXANDRIA — Luke Veldman went the distance for the Bethel Bees, lasting seven innings and giving up just three hits — and no runs — as Bethel rolled to a 7-0 victory over Twin Valley South on Tuesday.

ME 6, NT 1 NEW PARIS — Tied 1-1 in the top of the seventh, Miami East’s Bradley Coomes stepped to the plate with the bases loaded. And Coomes came through in the clutch situation, clearing the bases with a triple to help the Vikings come away with a 6-1 Cross County Conference victory against National Trail on Tuesday. “The kids were much more selective on the pitches (in the last inning),” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. “Brad came up, he found a gap and it brought all of our runners home. That was a huge for us.” Garrett Mitchell, who was 2 for 4, got the win for the Vikings on the hill. He gave up just six hits, struck out seven and had two walks. Alex Brewer doubled on his way to a 2 for 4 day at the plate, while Michael Fellers went 2 for 3. East (7-3, 4-1 CCC) plays Tri-County North Thursday.

Troy’s Ian Nadolny slides back into first base Tuesday against Butler. Tippecanoe coach Bruce Cahill said. “We just came out flat, and that didn’t get the job done. Hopefully we learned our lesson.” TC 9, Botkins 2 BOTKINS —Ben Morrow went the distance on the mound, striking out five batters and giving up only three hits as Troy Christian rolled to a 9-2 win over Botkins on Tuesday.

TCN 6, Covington 2 COVINGTON — TriCounty North came to Covington on Tuesday unbeaten in Cross County Conference play, and stayed that way, escaping with a 6-2 win. Steven Blei went 4-4 with three doubles and drove in both Covington runs. In his last 12 at bats, Blei is 12-12 with six doubles, two triples and 12 RBI. Blei also went the distance on the mound, striking out five and allowing just two walks. • Softball Troy 9, Butler 7 TROY — A big inning, a huge day at the plate for a freshman, a clutch performance by a pitcher and a selfless play on defense. All of that added up to the end of the Troy Trojans’ sixgame losing streak. Troy (5-11, 3-3 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) scored five runs in the bottom of the third and tacked on some insurance, holding on in the end to top Butler 9-7 Tuesday at Troy. Freshman Victoria Adams was 2 for 3 with three RBIs and a run, driving in two with a bases-loaded hit in the big third inning. Senior Shelby Schultz added a double and two RBIs, Jen Lehmann was 2 for 4 with an RBI and Brooke Evans was 3 for 4 with two runs. “We’ve been getting hits, but it’s seemed like we haven’t got the big hit when we need-

She also got some help from Evans at second base with a big play in the sixth. “Brooke took a shot right in the chest from a line drive,” Herman said. “She was determined, though, and threw the runner out at first — and then fell over and had to leave the game. Amber had control of her pitches and kept the Butler hitters off balance. This was her best game of the year.” Tipp 9, Bellefontaine 8 TIPP CITY — Trailing 4-1 heading into the bottom of the third, the Tippecanoe Red Devils got the ball rolling, piling on four runs in the inning to help themselves emerge with a 9-8 win over Bellefontaine on Tuesday. “We were down 4-1. We were hitting the ball well up to that point, but we were hitting it right at them,” Tippecanoe coach Charles Tackett said. “I just told the girls to keep hitting the ball hard, and that’s what they did. We exploded.” CC Alvarez got the win on the mound, and also went 3 for 4 with a double. Kristin Mace went 2 for 3 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. Darlene Reinhard was 2 for 4 with three runs scored and Alex Dawes went 2 for 3

with two runs. ME 11, NT 0 (5) NEW PARIS —For a couple innings, the Cross County Conference battle between Miami East and National Trail looked like it could come down to the wire.
