Official: Video shows bomb suspect No arrests have been made in Boston Marathon bombing BOSTON (AP) — In what could be major break in the Boston Marathon case, investigators are on the hunt for a man seen in a department store surveillance video dropping off a bag at the site of the bombings, a local politician said Wednesday. Separately, a law enforcement official confirmed that authorities have found an image of a potential suspect but don’t know his name.

The development less than 48 hours after the attack, which left three people dead and more than 170 wounded marked a possible turning point in a case that has investigators analyzing photos and videos frame by frame for clues to who carried out the twin bombings and why. City Council President Stephen Murphy, who said he was briefed by Boston police, said investigators saw the image on surveillance footage they got

from a department store near the finish line and matched the findings with witness descriptions of someone leaving the scene. “I know it’s very active and very fluid right now that they are on the chase,” Murphy said. He added: “They may be on the verge of arresting someone, and that’s good.” The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers

packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag. One department store video “has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion

Grand jury indicts Walter Here is a healthier take on fried rice

Staff Reports

Starchy, crunchy and flavorful, fried rice is a deeply satisfying dish no matter what you add to it. And you can add just about any vegetable or protein you care to name, fresh or left over. I love fried rice not only for its taste and versatility, but also because it’s so easy to make at the last minute. I almost always have most of the core ingredients stocked in my pantry, refrigerator and freezer. If a carton of leftover take-out restaurant rice suddenly appears on a shelf next to the milk, I’m good to go. See Page 7.

After seven months, a grand jury has indicted the city of Troy’s former operations superintendent on felony charge of theft in office. Michael “Scott” Walter, 66, of Troy, resigned following an investigation of theft in office in November 2012. The investigation included a search warrant of Walter’s office where $1,385 in cash was found in Walter’s desk drawer, a Dell computer and several files were seized from the office at 1400 Experiment Farm Road in November. Walter is set to be arraigned April 22 in Miami County Common Pleas Court. According to the warrant, an anonymous employee told detectives scrap metal from the city garage was deposited at Urban Elsass and Son in Piqua and Walters was pocketing the payments, which were made in cash. Police detectives spoke with Urban Elsass managers, who were able to produce copies of all the receipts the company had on file dating back to July 2011. The 20 receipts all were made out to the city of Troy for approximately $4,517.30 through October 2012. According to prior reports, city auditor John Stickel confirmed with detectives that no paperwork to support any cash deposits by the city garage management was submitted during the same time frame. According to the indictment, the thefts began in 2006. Walter started working for the city in April 1973, starting with the police department. He transferred to the street department in fall 1981 and was named operations superintendent in 1999.

Council backs Streetscape project BY CECILIA FOX For Civitas Media tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com After much discussion and investigating several design options, city council has unanimously decided to move forward with the Streetscape project as designed. TIPP CITY “No plan was going to make everyone happy,” councilman Bryan Budding said. Council agreed that moving ahead with the project is the best option for Tipp City. At the last council meeting, city staff was directed to investigate the cost and the impact any changes would have to the design of the Streetscape project; specifically upgrading to clay instead of concrete pavers and keeping the existing street lights. City staff looked at different options for sidewalk pavers determined that changing from concrete to clay pavers would cost the city an additional $22,000, but would not delay construction. It also was determined that keeping the existing street lights could save about $17,000, but changing the Streetscape design now could add up to two weeks to the construction schedule.

Council president John Kessler pointed out that, though keeping the street lights might save money now, retrofitting them to keep up with advancing lighting technology later would cost the city more in the long run. During the study session, several residents and downtown business owners weighed in on the issue. Many agreed that the city should stick to the original design plan. “At this point, making any decision to lengthen this is going to be horrible for all of the businesses,” one business owner said. Lauryn Bayliff, a Restoration Board member who spoke at the last council meeting, said she was unhappy with the design of the project and argued that the board should have been involved. She described the project as tearing out “all the historic elements of the downtown historic district.” City manager Jon Crusey explained that because the plan is consistent with the Streetscape design approved in 2001, the city did not seek further approval from other city boards in 2012 when it was added to the downtown utilities replacement project. “The seven of us are charged with making decisions now regardless of what happened in the past,”councilman Pat Hale said.

Hale further explained that Streetscape was added in December after city staff realized the damage that the utility replacement would do to the downtown. This did not leave a lot of time to discuss the Streetscape design details. City council, unwilling to risk delaying the project, unanimously agreed to move forward with the Streetscape project as designed. “On a project like this it’s going to be very difficult to please everyone and I want to thank all who have provided input,” councilman Joe Gibson said. “I believe eventually, if we all just hang in there, it will turn out for the best.” In other business, council approved an ordinance appropriating additional funds from the electric fund for the replacement of the traffic signal at the intersection of Fourth and Main Streets. In March, council reviewed the results of a study of that signal and decided to replace it as part of the Streetscape project. Council also awarded the bid for the Main Street Lift Station improvement project, which is Tipp City’s portion of the TCA sanitary sewer and pump station improvements. The contract went to Danis Building Construction, who submitted the low bid of $5,597,058. Tipp City’s portion of this project is $1,035,662.

Wood • CONTINUED FROM 1 eradication under the authority of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the task force allegedly spotted the marijuana grow on the property of 9477 N. Montgomery County Line Road, just inside of Miami County. When investigators arrived at the site Wood was present with his fiancee and a 5year-old child. Investigators also found loaded firearms and narcotics in the resi-

dence. After the bust, the child was placed in the custody of Miami County Children’s Services. According to the sheriff’s office, marijuana plants were found growing inside and outside of the residence at the location, including marijuana that was in the process of being dried out. Wood was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges last week but after his lawyer did not show up to his arraignment the court proceeding was continued until Monday.

Suspect • CONTINUED FROM 1 and heading off,” Murphy said. A law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity confirmed only that investigators had an image of a potential suspect whose name was not known to them and who had not been questioned. Several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor department store between the sites of

the bomb blasts. The turn of events came with Boston in a state of high excitement over conflicting reports of a breakthrough. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation told the AP around midday that a suspect was in custody. The official, who was not authorized to divulge details of the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the suspect was expected in federal court. But the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston said no arrests had been made. By nightfall, there was

no evidence anyone was in custody. No one was taken to court. The law enforcement official, who had affirmed there was a suspect in custody even after federal officials denied it, was unable to obtain any further information or explanation. At least 14 bombing victims remained in critical condition. Dozens have been released from hospitals, and officials at three hospitals that treated some of the most seriously injured said they expected all their remaining patients to survive. On Wednesday, investigators in white jumpsuits fanned out across the streets, rooftops and awnings around the blast site in search of clues. They picked through trash cans, plastic cup sleeves and discarded sports drink dispensers. Police were stationed on street corners across downtown Boston, while National Guardsmen set up tents on the Boston Common and stationed tactical vehicles.

• CONTINUED FROM 1 strong, masculine role of Gaston. “Mr. Sagona was a big part of me actually getting into theater, and there were a lot of peers pressuring me to,” he said, smiling. “My friends on the football team think it’s awesome, actually. They were like, ‘Dude, you’re in the musical? We’re totally coming.’” Senior Max Witeof said he was “ecstatic” to learn that he would be playing his top choice role, as the Beast. “I was extremely excited because it was my first musical as a lead,” Witeof said. “The fact that he’s so loud makes it a little difficult (to get into character), but once I could see his motivations, it really made sense to me.” Sagona said the musical version of the classic movie features seven additional songs while still holding true to all the Disney magic. Tickets for the show are $5 for students and $10 for adults. Senior citizens may attend a free preview performance at 7:30 p.m. today. Doors open 30 minutes before the shows.

Question: Which presents a bigger threat to national security, North Korea or terrorists?

PERSPECTIVE

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg, S.C., on North Korea’s saber-rattling: Another week and more tough talk from North Korea is likely. This past week, the North Korean army warned the U.S. government that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using “smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear” weapons. The threat from the unnamed army spokesman is one in a series of escalating warnings from North Korea, which has railed for weeks against joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened sanctions for a February nuclear test. It’s difficult to know just serious to take the North Koreans. Their constant bashing of the United States has been going on for years.

No one questions Cordray’s credentials, character or ability to do the job. He has, in fact, been running the agency on a recess appointment, and won high praise from Democrats and Republicans. … The Republicans are demanding that the agency be restructured, replacing the single director with a commission. That would make the agency weaker and could paralyze it completely if a partisan minority blocked the nomination of a tie-breaking commission member. That was done with the president’s nominees for the Labor Relations Board, creating a deadlock that stopped it from functioning. They are also demanding that the office be funded by Congress and not from a fee collected from the Federal Reserve. Control of those purse strings would also give a minority of lawmakers the ability to shut the bureau down. The Republicans say that although they support consumer protection, they were excluded from the process when the bill was written and this is the only way they can have meaningful input. But that’s not the issue. What’s before them is the Cordray nomination, not the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Now is when we need guns To the Editor: Someone please explain to me again why President Obama wants to take away our guns? If there’s naything the Boston Marathon has taught us,

it is that we need guns now more than ever. Obviously the government can’t keep up us safe from terrorists, which is why we need to take things into our own hands. The government had its chance. It failed. Now it’s time to let us start watching out for ourselves.

Now, more than ever, we need more guns, not less guns. Sorry all of you liberals out there. Keep living under a rock and thinking your government is going to protect you. It’s not. — Mike Johnson Troy

DOONESBURY

In times like these, sports can heal many wounds I’ve always had a tempestuous relationship with the world of sports. As a child, it was sports that defined my role in my family hierarchy. I came from a family of athletes — my mother, my father and both of my brothers and sisters excelled on the playing field, whether it be soccer, baseball, basketball, track and field or softball. Our seasons were defined not by fall, winter, spring or summer, but rather by what sport happened to be in season. Our lives revolved around practice and game schedules. If someone in my family wasn’t playing a sport, they were coaching a sport. In time, I lost my own identity. While sitting in the stands at one of my brothers’ or sisters’ sporting events, I was no longer “David,” I was “Chris or Steve’s little brother.” By the time I was in the third grade, my life’s destiny seemed pre-ordained. I was going to play soccer for Troy High School, just like Chris and Steve and Julie. I suppose things like that happen all the time in small communities that value sports as much as Troy does. There was, however, one problem. I was terrible at sports. I had the desire and the passion — I devoured baseball boxscores in the newspaper and fought for the remote control to watch Canadian Football League games, for crying out loud — but lacked any semblance of

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor strength, speed, skill, courage or coordination. It became pretty obvious to me at a very young age that I would never measure up to any of the other members of my family on the athletic field. And so I became an outcast — both within my own family and the community at-large. My complete lack of skills became the butt of jokes around the dinner table. If it wasn’t explicitly stated that I didn’t fit in within my own family, it certainly was implicitly stated. Over time, I grew to hate sports. It was the defining element that separated me from my family. Or so I thought. Because no matter how bad things got, it always seemed like sports was there to bring us — and me — back together. I remember sitting in front of the television screen in 1980, watching the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y., with my family. All seven of us sat huddled around the one, 24-inch screen in our house, watching as the

United States hockey team upset the mighty Russians in what would end up being a touchstone moment not only for sports, but for an entire country. As goalie Jim Craig wrapped himself in the American flag and deafening chants of “USA! USA!” rose into the rafters, I remember looking up at my parents and seeing tears streaming down both of their faces. And I remember, at 6 years old, weeping right alongside them. Even then, I understood it wasn’t about a hockey game. It was about so much more than that. It was about people coming together for the greater good. It was about people from all walks of life joining together for one cause. Sometimes, sports is bigger than the final score. I would spend much of the rest of my life fighting that same internal struggle between my love and hatred of sports. In high school, I remember getting pushed into the lockers by jocks and thinking they were the biggest bunch of knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers God had ever created. I also remember cheering for those same kids on Friday nights at football games. After I graduated from high school, I went on to college and became a sports writer — I’m sure any psychologist would be glad to tell you it was my way of finally trying to find a place for myself in the sports world that had shunned me — and covered

the Ohio State football team, one of the biggest sports juggernauts on the face of the planet. After graduating from college, I spent 10 years as the sports editor here at the Troy Daily News. In those 10 years, I learned something about both sports and myself — it wasn’t about touchdowns scored, baskets made or home runs hit. It was about sports ability to change lives. It was about competition allowing people to accomplish what they once thought to be impossible. I saw kids headed down the wrong path whose lives were saved by sports. I saw sports bring fathers and sons together far more than it tore them apart. For a decade, I told anyone who would listen, “I don’t write about sports. I write about people who play sports.” After a lifetime of sports tearing me apart, it was there to put me together, just as it always had. Sports matter. It’s not “just a game.” And evil, cowardly people know that. They know they can hurt us through the games we play. They knew it in 1972 when the Black September terrorist group kidnapped and subsequently murdered 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. They knew it when they bombed Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park in 1996. And they knew it Monday when they set off two bombs at the finish line of the Boston

Marathon. The scum knew the quickest way to stick a dagger in the heart of a city like Boston — which reveres its athletic competitions as much, if not more, than any other city on the planet — was to attack a sporting event. Here’s what they didn’t realize, however. Their attacks — hurtful and cruel though they may be — won’t tear Boston apart at the seams. Sports will hold things together. It has to. The games will go on. The Celtics, Red Sox, Bruins and Patriots will continue to play. The Boston Marathon will be held again next year. At a time when things seem so wrong, sporting events may seem like the only thing that is right at this point. After the 9/11 attacks on New York City, the games went on because they had to. The city needed the lifeblood to start flowing through Yankee and Shea Stadiums once again. Sports gave a battered and bruised city a sense of hope. And it will do the same for Boston. Sports may not repair the broken bodies, but it will help mend the battered souls. They may have used sports to try to tear us apart, but in the end — as it always does — sports will bring us back together. David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News.

George Beverly Shea dies Sang at Graham crusades MONTREAT, N.C. (AP) — George Beverly Shea, whose booming baritone voice echoed through stadiums, squares and souls during a decades-long career with evangelist Billy Graham, died Tuesday. He was 104. Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spokesman Brent Rinehart said Shea died in Asheville after a brief illness. Shea’s rendition of “How Great Thou Art” came to define the faith of a Protestant generation that Graham helped bring to Jesus Christ. He performed live before an estimated 200 million people at crusades over the years taking him from North Dakota to North Korea and beyond. He joined Graham’s crusade team in 1947 and stayed until Graham’s declining health ended most of the evangelist’s public appearances nearly 60 years later. “As a young man starting my ministry, I asked Bev if he would join me,” Graham said then. “He said yes and for over 60 years we had the privilege of ministering together across the country and around the world. Bev was one of the most humble, gracious men I have ever known and one of my closest friends. I loved him as a brother.” A Canadian emigrant who became one of America’s most-recognized gospel soloists, Shea himself summed up his career with one of his inspirational trademarks: “The Wonder of It All.” “I just thought it was such a privilege,” Shea said in a January 2009 interview. Despite several chances to perform on the secular stage, Shea largely stuck with gospel music. He recorded dozens of albums of sacred music and was nominated for 10 Grammys. He won in 1965 for his album “Southland Favorites.” At age 88, he recorded his first country-and-western album. Shea believed the simplicity of old hymns drew people to his music.

In this Jan. 13, 2009 file photo, George Beverly Shea talks at his home in Montreat, N.C. Shea, the booming baritone who sang to millions of Christians at evangelist Billy Graham’s crusades, died Tuesday after a brief illness. He was 104. “It’s the message of the lyrics, the test that hits the heart in a hurry and the melody that goes along with it and seems to all go together,” Shea said. Born Feb. 1, 1909, in Winchester, Ontario, George Beverly Shea grew up singing around the family dinner table and then later in his father’s church choir. Though his father was a Wesleyan minister, Shea recalled that he was a wandering teenager who needed direction. He had wavered several times from the gospel until the week his father put on a special effort to draw people to the faith. When the invitation came, the gospel song “Just As I Am” a tune that he himself later sang and recorded filled the sanctuary. His father left the pulpit and walked to the back pew where Shea said, putting his hand on his shoulder and saying, “son, tonight might be the night.” “I love my Dad. I walked with him right down that middle aisle,” Shea recalled. “My father always knelt on one knee, so I knelt on one knee. That’s when it happened.” With more drive and focus, Shea moved to New York City and trained with voice coaches, singing on radio stations WMCA and WHN. Though he had a chance to work in the secular business, Shea instead chose to move to Chicago, where he built his popularity at radio station WMBI and later on ABC radio’s “Club Time.” So he was already well-known in Christian music circles even before he met Graham when the

lanky young man, then a student at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill., came to the WMBI studio in Chicago in the early 1940s. “I knew he was from the South. I could hear it in my ears,” Shea recalled. “He was what I call a Southern gentleman. He was just too complimentary of what he was hearing on the air.” Their friendship began with that first handshake. “I said: ‘The only gospel singers I’ve ever heard of, they have to sing a little bit and then talk for a while, would I have to do that?’” Shea recalled. “I hope not,” was Graham’s response. A few years later, in 1947, the two began their crusade ministry. Shea always performed a peaceful hymn just before the famed evangelist preached his message and asked people to make Jesus their personal savior. Graham “really loves the quiet song before he speaks. Perhaps something that will point to what he’s going to speak on,” Shea said. Kurt Kaiser, Shea’s accompanist of 30 years, recalled his personal touch. “When he begins to sing a song, he can sing it directly to you. He tried to find a single face in the audience, maybe a sympathetic gaze,” Kaiser once said. “This personal quality is the same thing that can be found in the gospel message.” The soloist had two children from his marriage to his first wife, Erma, who died in 1976. Shea and his second wife, Karlene, lived in Montreat.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Character actor Richard LeParmentier, who as a young Death Star commander learned the hard way that Darth Vader brooks no disrespect, died Tuesday. He was 66. LeParmentier died unexpectedly Tuesday morning in Austin while visiting his children, said his publicist, Derek Maki. Maki said he does not know the cause. LeParmentier was born in Pittsburgh, but moved to Britain in 1974 and had been living in Bath, England, when he died. As Admiral Motti in 1977’s “Star Wars,” LeParmentier’s character mocks Vader’s “sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion.” Vader responds with a demonstration, using the force to choke the young commander, but

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST

• Pentti Lund THUNDER BAY, Ontario (AP) — Pentti Lund, the first Finnish-born player to score a goal in the NHL and the 1948-49 rookie of the year with the New York Rangers, has died. He was 87. The Rangers said Wednesday that Lund died Tuesday in his hometown of Thunder Bay. Born in Karijoki, Finland, Lund moved with his family to the Thunder Bay area when he was 6. After serving in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II, Lund made his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins in the 194748 season, appearing in two playoff games. He was dealt to the Rangers in the offseason and had 14 goals and 16 assists in 59 games to win the Calder Trophy as the top rookie. The next season, Lund help the Rangers upset Montreal and advance to the Stanley Cup final, where they lost Game 7 in double overtime to Detroit. Lund sustained a serious eye injury from a high stick in the 1950-51 season, his last with the Rangers. He spent the following two seasons with Boston before retiring. He had 44 goals and 55 assists in 259 career NHL games.

formal strategic plan, Rutgers’ evolution into a more diverse institution and the remaking of the school’s technology infrastructure as the Internet became a part of daily life on campus. Lawrence was born Aug. 25, 1937 and grew up in Woonsocket, R.I., before attending St. Louis University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He became a scholar of French literature and came to Rutgers as president in 1990 after spending three decades at Tulane University, where he earned his doctorate before becoming a professor and administrator. At Tulane, he was provost and dean of the graduate school. At Rutgers, Lawrence was behind a strategic plan to make Rutgers, one of the nation’s oldest universities, into one of its most highly regarded. He reorganized the school’s fundraising operations, bringing in more money, and oversaw a building boom across its campuses in New Brunswick and Piscataway, Newark and Camden. Over the last seven years of his leadership, Rutgers added more than 50 new academic programs. “In many ways, President Lawrence was ahead of his time,” Joseph Seneca, a Rutgers economics professor who served as a university vice president under Lawrence, said in a statement. “The academic quality of Rutgers grew significantly, the digitization of the university occurred, and the electronic library became a reality.” Seneca also said he recognized early the idea of building the university’s brand. It wasn’t a tenure without contention, though. In 1995, some faculty members considered holding a no-confidence vote against Lawrence, saying he lacked a leadership vision. But the professors backed off when they realized the vote was likely to fail.

A healthier take on fried rice By the Associated Press Starchy, crunchy and flavorful, fried rice is a deeply satisfying dish no matter what you add to it. And you can add just about any vegetable or protein you care to name, fresh or left over. I love fried rice not only for its taste and versatility, but also because it’s so easy to make at the last minute. I almost always have most of the core ingredients stocked in my pantry, refrigerator and freezer. If a carton of leftover take-out restaurant rice suddenly appears on a shelf next to the milk, I’m good to go. I’ve never been all that great at cooking rice. I just can’t seem to get the ratio and timing right, and I always forget when you’re supposed to leave it alone and when you’re supposed to stir it. I finesse this handicap by leaning on a little trick I learned during my restaurant days: boiling the rice in a big pot of salted water as if it was pasta. That way there’s no rice-to-water ratio to worry about. For brown rice, 45 minutes does the trick. And if you’re in a particular rush, you can swap in instant brown rice, which is almost as nutritious as regular brown rice and cooks up quicker, as advertised. This being spring, I made sure that the stars of the recipe were seasonal ingredients, starting with peas. Fresh peas are heavenly, of course, but they start turning to starch as soon as they’re harvested, so be sure to cook them right away. I also incorporated two other spring vegetables sugar snap peas and radishes, though I left the radishes raw. Saute a radish and this spicy, crispy root vegetable becomes sweet and tender. But I like the kick of a raw radish, so I simply shredded them, then tossed them with a little seasoned rice vinegar. Sprinkled on top of the finished dish, these raw radishes are similar to a pickle. Protein-wise, this recipe

make a flat pancake. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, or until almost set. Turn over the egg (you can cut it in a few pieces to make it easier, using the side of a nonstick pan-safe spatula) and cook for another 10 seconds. Transfer the egg to a cutting board. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the onion. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until almost cooked through, about another 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and return the skillet to the heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet, then add the rice, pressing it flat with the back of the spatula. Cook until the rice is slightly crispy, turning it over with the spatula, about 8 to 10 minutes. While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl combine the radishes, vinegar and salt to taste. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sake and sesame oil. Chop the egg and add it along with the peas and sugar snap peas to the bowl with the shrimp. When the rice is nicely crisped, add the contents of the shrimp bowl and the soy sauce mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring, until the mixture is heated through. Transfer the fried rice to 4 AP bowls and top each portion In this image taken on April 8, shrimp fried rice with pickled radishes is shown served in bowls in Concord, with some of the radishes.

Our family along with Timothy and Mose attended baptismal services in Hersey, Mich. for our nephew Joseph. This was the first time we were to Hersey to see where Joe’s sister Christine and family live. It’s an almost threehour drive from here. We spent the afternoon at Jake and Christine’s house visiting and enjoying popcorn. We appreciated all the

hospitality from the church members. Son Kevin and Jake and Christine’s son Matthew are like two peas in a pod. To think that they don’t often see each other they enjoy playing together so much. They are both 7 years old old. Kevin said Matthew is my cousin but he is also my friend. He’s already looking forward to the next time they will see each other but being so far apart doesn’t make it easy. Jake sent us home a taste of their maple syrup and venison sausage they

make. Mose also has brought us several jars of the maple syrup his family makes. The pancake syrup doesn’t get used now as everyone likes the maple syrup. The rhubarbs should be up before too long so give this cake a try.

when everyone was home. Those warm sunny days made it nice to hang the laundry outside to dry. It could be brought in folded and put away all on the same day. The highlight of our week is the miniature pony Minnie giving birth to a foal on April 9. It is so cute and small. Our border collie dog buggy is quite a big bigger than the little filly. Daughter Lovina, 8, was with Minnie and the pony cart earlier that evening. Susan went to check on her after supper and she came running in all excited to tell us Minnie had her foal. Needless to say the whole family ended up in the barn to meet this foal that we so anxiously waited for. The children have run back and forth many times already to keep an eye on this precious foal. So far we haven’t figured out what his name will be. Too many different sug-

The children went back to school after a week here at home for spring break. My husband Joe went back to work on Tuesday. The house seems empty during the day. Daughter Susan is working four days this week but is home today. I am glad for her help. She is going to bake chocolate chip and monster cookies as our cookie jar has been empty too long. Our friend Barb from Bristol, Ind. came for a visit recently and brought two big bags of M&Ms. The children asked if we could make monster cookies with some of the M&Ms. A lot was accomplished last week while everyone was home. Joe managed to get the 100 pounds of summer sausage smoked. It turned out very good and everyone seems to like it. We were relieved that it turned out OK. This is a rainy and cold week. I am so glad last week was nicer and warmer

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Suggest to your in-law that she see a physician Dear Annie: My husband's parents are in their mid-70s. They are both in good health and financially stable. The problem is, my mother-in-law has a bit of hypochondria along with some anxiety. She has self-diagnosed herself with many "syndromes" (such as fibromyalgia, restless leg, irritable bowel), and she refuses to exercise. Her syndromes, which are exacerbated by her anxiety, keep her from getting out of the house, unless it involves an activity that she truly enjoys, like shopping. My in-laws don't have a wide social circle, and Mom refuses to try to make new friends. You can't have a conversation with her without the topic turning to her various maladies. I believe this is causing her some depression. Our town has many great programs for seniors, and I know both of my in-laws would benefit from them. I have repeatedly suggested to my mother-in-law that she get outside more, get some exercise, volunteer, take classes at the senior center, etc., but she refuses. Annie, I understand that Mom may have some physical ailments, but being home all day and inactive surely can't be making her better. It's so important to remain physically and mentally active, and it's frustrating to see a wonderful couple, a wonderful woman, throw her "golden years" away. — Frustrated Daughterin-Law Dear Daughter-in-Law: Your heart is in the right place, but please don't pressure your mother-in-law to take care of herself the way you would. While exercise would be great, it only works if she's willing to do it. To some extent, she likes her various maladies and isn't ready to get rid of them. The best you can do right now is suggest that she see her doctor to be properly tested, evaluated and treated. And if you find a program at the senior center that you think she would like, offer to pick her up and go with her. Dear Annie: I'm in love with a girl who said she loved me, too. We dated for a while last summer, and we're still best friends. But "Lucy" has another boyfriend now, and he is a good guy. We all get along, but I'm extremely jealous that he has her. I'm pretty sure he knows how I feel. I'm still heartbroken about the breakup. I think about it all the time. I'm considering talking to Lucy to see whether there is any chance of us getting back together someday. Should I? — Lover Boy Dear Lover Boy: Not unless you are absolutely certain that Lucy wants the same thing. Otherwise, you will only be hurt again. We assume the reasons for the original breakup still exist. Also, she has someone else in her life now, and it is not appropriate to make a play for his girl. If he is aware that you are still interested in Lucy, rest assured, she is, too. If she wanted to get back together, she would let you know. We recommend you spend a lot less time in her company so you can learn to get over her. Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Rocky Mount, Va.," about allowing dogs at funerals. When my sister was in hospice for four months, we told the staff how her dog, "Abby," was searching the house and waiting at the door of her home every day. The wonderful staff suggested we bring Abby in. The dog would check on my sister first, then greet everyone else and finally lie down on the floor beside my sister's bed. She did this every day we brought her. Toward the very end, Abby seemed to know that her wonderful master was dying. Now, she is a happy well-adjusted companion to another sister. If at all possible, I recommend people let pets be with their masters at the end. Instinct seems to ease their minds, and even though the animals grieve, they are no longer waiting for them at the door. — Getting Better Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Please help keep retired wire out of the landfill Dear Readers: What do you do with all of those wire hangers hanging in your closet? Most recycling centers will not take them because of the protective plastic coating on them. The Drycleaning and Laundry Institute launched a nationwide campaign to reuse or recycle as many metal hangers as possible. Just last year, 25 million hangers were saved from going into landfills. Dry cleaners can sign up for this program, in which they agree to reuse hangers when possible and recycle others when they can. You can go to www.DLICleanersCare.org for a list of cleaners that participate

Hints from Heloise Columnist in this program. They will accept wire hangers and prevent tons (literally, 750 tons last year) of steel from ending up in landfills. — Heloise GARBAGE GRAVITY Dear Heloise: I have a large kitchen garbage can and had trouble getting a full bag of garbage out. The full bag

against the side of the can always created a sort of vacuum. I put a couple of old phone books in the bottom of the can. Now, when I pull out the bag, the weight of the phone books makes the can slide off. I change the books when I get new phone books. Since I started putting the books in the bottom, I have never had to hold on to the can while taking out the garbage bag. — Brian S. in Oregon WATERING PLANTS Dear Heloise: Just a quick hint for household plants while on vacation: I take an empty, clean soda or water bottle and fill it with clean, cold water. I insert the bottle, upside

down, into the dirt of the plant. I give it a little shove so it stands straight up on its own. Water will slowly release when needed. — C.R. in Indiana BELTED CABINETS Dear Heloise: I have a hint for keeping little ones out of cabinets, and you don’t have to buy a thing. Many of us have old belts that we used to get with a new pair of pants. Run a belt down through the handles, tighten as needed and secure it. They can be cut to length, if necessary. The soft finish of a belt is less likely to damage the finish on the cabinets, too. — Leah, via email

The second juvenile arrested for a threatening note written at Tippecanoe High School had his adjudicatory hearing Wednesday. Unlike the first juvenile, whose hearing was on March 19 and almost immediately confessed to writing a note, this second juvenile maintained his innocence throughout police and school interviews and the hearing itself. He now faces one charge of inducing panic and one charge of attempting aggravated menacing. The defendant in question is a 16year-old former Tippecanoe High School freshman, due to his being disenrolled once it was discovered during the investigation that his mother moved to Pleasant Hill. Up until this week, he was being housed in the West Central Juvenile Detention Center. Miami County juvenile court prosecutor Rob Long brought several witnesses in to set up the chain of events on Wednesday, Feb. 13 and Thursday, Feb. 14, including Tippecanoe High School Assistant Principal Brian Honeycutt, Tipp City Superintendent Dr. John Kronour, and Tipp City Police members Officer Dan Rittenhouse, Sergeant Eric Burris, and Detective Sergeant Chris Graham. They all established what occurred after the note was found: on Wednesday, closing the restroom, making the One Call Now and Wright Patterson Air Force Base bomb dog search of the building, which included evacuating a gym filled with a basketball tournament game. Then on Thursday, the security measures taken for incoming students: blocking off the high school drop-off in the front of the school, each students’ bookbag being sniffed by Wright-Pattersons’ bomb dogs, Burris having each student open their coats and check their waistbands, and no congregating in the commons area during the morning. That was for the students who showed up — 280 students were absent on the Thursday, as opposed to an average of 47 students the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before.

TROY An officer also stayed in the school building that entire day. “In this day and age we live in, anything that poses a threat is going to be taken seriously,” Kronour said. The student who originally found the note was also brought in to testify. The Tippecanoe High senior said he went to use the downstairs bathroom by the senior lockers in fifth period. In the far left stall, he saw the note written on toilet paper. He didn’t inspect it because it was wet from “some sort of fluid,” but did read the words “School/Columbine #2/214-13/Good luck.” “My first reaction was it was kind of a joke, but I still thought I should tell someone in case it wasn’t,” the student said. When administration looked, there was another note on the left wall beside the stall where in small letters was written “bombs away.” Both writings were in black ink. The prosecution used two major points to endeavor to tie the defendant to the note. The first was a handwriting sample. Tippecanoe High School Principal Belinda Banks and Honeycutt called an impromptu staff meeting immediately after school on Feb. 13. Honeycutt said they passed around a picture of the note and asked anyone, especially English teachers, if they recognized the handwriting. A language arts teacher thought she might know, and brought to him four different papers the defendant had written. “I believe the handwriting was similar,” Honeycutt said. All of the samples plus several pictures of the toilet paper and wall note were sent to the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab for analysis. The official report came back on Feb. 27 and said “no opinion can be offered” due to the “unnatural writing position” and “ink bleeding” of the note. Long stressed that the crime lab did not say the defendant had not written the note. Defense attorney Paul Princi (the father’s attorney Tom Buecker submitted a motion to withdrawal representation) took the opposite side.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, April 18, the 108th day of 2013. There are 257 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 18, 1943, during World War II, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was killed as his plane was shot down by U.S. fighters while approaching Bougainville in the Solomon Islands. 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-

“The crime lab couldn’t rule (the juvenile) out, but more important, they couldn’t rule him in,” Princi said. The other indication of the defendant was a conversation that happened the day the note was found. The conversation took place in seventh period Industrial Tech class between the defendant and another student, with two other students within listening range. Two of the three students testified. There was a rumor that the defendant’s cousin had found the note, so one of the students approached the defendant and asked him if he knew anything about it, and then if he knew who had written the note. The first thing the defendant said was “yeah, I did.” After that, several opinions come into play. One student said the defendant said he was just joking, another said he told him “Oh, I meant a different note.” The defendant himself testified that he was referring to a poem he wrote on a different bathroom wall, as an ‘ode to marijuana.’ He said that note was written last semester and had been washed off the next day. He also said he had never put graffiti on the walls or written a note before or since that incident. The defendant actually called a friend of his cousin, who also testified, later that day and told him not to come to school the next day. The friend said he sounded nearly in tears. In testimony, the defendant said he called because “I don’t want to see none of my friends get hurt.” In four different interviews, three with police and one with Honeycutt, the defendant denied writing on the toilet paper or the stall wall. He also agreed to take a CVSA, which he thought was a polygraph, but the test was never administered. Graham noted that the CVSA is a computer voice stress analyzer and a “tool used to obtain a confession,” but the test is not a polygraph and not admissible in court. Now the decision lies in the hands of Judge W. McGregor Dixon at a later date. Inducing panic is a felony charge, while the attempted aggravating menacing is a misdemeanor.

New investment programs reviewed BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Township Concord trustees discussed the possibility of investing in the new state cash management and investment program called STAR Plus at its regular meeting Tuesday. The program began April 2012 by state treasurer Josh Mandel and is open to government entities such as townships, school districts, cities and other political subdivisions. The cash deposits have full FDIC insurance and must have a minimum of $500,000 deposit. All deposits feature weekly liquidity with penalty free withdrawals. Fiscal officer Pat Quillen provided information about the program to all trustees. “This investment pays more than the regular bank and regular STAR Ohio,” Quillen informed trustees. Quillen said the new STAR Plus program pays 21 basis points and has a 0.21 percent interest rate compared to Star Ohio’s 0.06 percent interest rate. Trustee Bill Whidden said he agreed that the investment should maximize funds that do not need to be as liquid for the township’s expenses. Whidden also asked Quillen to contact local banks for ladder certificate of deposits portfolios up to a year to compare interest rates. Quillen said she would have all the details about both the STAR Plus program and local banks and the ladder CD program at the next trustee meeting. Miami County Sheriff ’s Office Patrolman Deputy Todd Tennant helped answer questions about several neighborhood concerns. Trustee Sue Campbell said she had three recent complaints from township residents. One issue was a resident whose neighbor was shooting a gun. Tennant said the owner of the gun must

CONCORD TWP. have an approved back stop and not be causing a disturbance to others. Another complaint was loud noise and disruptive activity at a home on Windmere Street which is believed to be occupied by young adult residents. Neighbors said loud noises and loud cars were disrupting the peace. Campbell said the resident did not want to leave their name due to the fear of retaliation from the residence. Tennant said the resident did not need to leave their name, although it would be helpful as a witness. Tennant said the officers would then have to witness the activity themselves which is often difficult. Tennant said the sheriff’s office would monitor the area and could charge the unruly residents with disorderly conduct for noise violations. The other complaint was from the owner of a home located next to the former Jester’s bar, now called The Vault, located on 755 N. County-Road 25-A, Troy. The resident reported to Campbell that patrons of the bar are blocking his private drive-way and he is unable to park or leave his residence, especially on the weekends. The resident said he made a sign to discourage and warn patrons to not block the private drive, but the sign was ignored and torn down. Tennant said parking violations could be issued to patrons that block the private drive. “We’ll see what we can do to monitor the situation,” Tennant told trustees. Mercer also said he had a conflict in his schedule and asked for the next township meeting be held on Thursday, May 9 at 10 a.m. Trustees agreed to move the meeting Thursday, May 9 at 10 a.m. at the Concord Township building.

In Loving Memory We remember those who have passed away and are especially dear to us. On Monday, May 27, 2013, we will publish a special section devoted to those who are gone, but not forgotten. Verse Selections: 1.

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

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

Troy finishes off sweep of Sidney, 10-2 Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

TROY — Troy started Wednesday in a bad spot. The Trojans turned things around quickly, though. After Sidney scored two runs on the first pitch of Wednesday’s action — thanks to starting with runners on second and third when Tuesday’s game was suspended — Troy’s Mackenzie

Vernon settled down, struck out nine in a complete game and shut down the Yellowjackets the rest of the way, and the Trojan offense did the rest in a 10-2 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division victory at Market Street Diamond. “It’s nice to see the growth already,” first-year Troy coach

Megan Campbell said. “We really preach ‘team’ and picking up your teammates when they’re down. And this is a pivotal part of the season — the girls can either explode on the field or implode on each other. And it’s great to see them picking each other up. “Mackenzie settled in, hit her spots and threw a nice game. She’s only a sophomore, but she’s

Disappointing day Yellowjackets shut down Trojans, 2-0 BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com It takes a certain mentality to win a division championship. “We’ve got to go into it thinking we’re going to win every game,” Ty Welker, coach of the defending Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division champion Troy Trojans said. “Anything less is a disappointment.” Which is why the Trojans were so upset after Wednesday’s game.

DAYTON Sidney got a pair of clutch hits in the first inning to take a two-run lead, and Connor Echols did the rest in a complete game shutout as Troy left nine runners on base — including the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning — in a 2-0 loss Wednesday at Fifth Third Field in Dayton. It was technically the first GWOC North loss for Troy (8-4, 3-1) since 2011. The Trojans lost twice to Greenville last season,

Sox top Tribe’s ace CLEVELAND (AP) — Converted closer Alfredo Aceves coasted through five innings, Mike Napoli and Daniel Nava drove in two runs apiece and the Red Sox, bonded by the tragedy in Boston, struck quickly against Justin Masterson and beat the Cleveland Indians 6-3 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight win. Aceves (1-0), who began the season in Boston’s bullpen, took a shutout into the sixth before giving up three runs. Andrew Bailey, filling for injured closer Joel Hanrahan, worked the ninth for his first save. Napoli had an RBI single in the first when the Red Sox scored three off Masterson (3-1), who has already beaten two Cy Young winners this season and came in without allowing a run in 19 straight innings. Nick Swisher and Jason Giambi homered for the Indians, who dropped their third in a row. The Red Sox hung a gray “617 Boston Strong” jersey in their dugout, just as they did for Tuesday’s emotional series opener one day after the deadly marathon bombings back home. The jersey has become a symbol of unity for the club, which will be back at Fenway Park on Friday to open a 10-game homestand. Shane Victorino, Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Carp had three hits apiece as the Red Sox built Aceves a 5-0 lead. Boston’s bullpen did its job,

Two-for Wednesday Reds beat Phillies twice in one day

Walker’s 24 leads ’Cats past Cavs Kemba Walker had 24 points and seven assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-98 Wednesday to avoid finishing in the NBA cellar for a second consecutive season. See Page 18.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Quite a turnaround for the Reds, who went from dropping five in a row to winning two games in one day. A little well-timed hitting will do that. Jay Bruce hit a pair of basesloaded singles that sent Cincinnati to a couple of wins on Wednesday, 1-0 over the Philadelphia Phillies in the conclusion of a suspended game and 11-2 in the later one.

The Reds completed their first sweep of the Phillies since 1996, taking advantage of Philadelphia’s struggles on offense to pull out of a five-game slide. It reminded manager Dusty Baker of an acquaintance’s favorite saying. “Like Gary Matthews said, the only thing better than hits are more hits,” Baker said. “It was a beautiful thing tonight. It’s

Troy catcher Ian Nadolny throws a Sidney runner out trying to steal Wednesday at Fifth Third Field. ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 but the Green Wave was forced to forfeit those victories. It was also the first time Troy, which had won four in a row entering the game, had been shut out since a 5-0 loss to Bellefontaine on April 20, 2012. Echols walked four, gave up six hits and only struck out three, throwing only one one-two-three inning and a total of 99 pitches. But it never really felt like he was in any danger except when he walked the first two batters of the fifth inning and let Troy load the bases in the seventh with one out. Each time, though, the Trojans harmlessly flew out to the outfield to take the pressure off of Echols, and he found ways to work out of it. “We got beat today due to a lack of offense and a complete lack of discipline at the plate,” Welker said. “I’m not taking away from him (Echols). He threw a really nice game. But we just had absolutely no plan at the plate. “We’d be in a fastball count and then take a fastball for a strike. He was throwing high in the zone, and we were swinging popup swings and popping the ball up. We lacked an offensive approach today.” Sidney (5-6, 2-2), meanwhile, was fortunate enough to get to Troy starter Zach Kendall early. Kaleb Dotson led off with a single and stole second, and with one out Echols drove him in with an RBI single up the middle, with Echols taking second on an errant throw on the play. And with two outs, Jacob Lochard brought in Echols for an insurance run with another RBI single. It was all Sidney could manage against Kendall, as he was lights out from there. Kendall gave up six hits in the game — three

New OSU coach wants to compete with elite teams

Els ready for RBC Heritage

COLUMBUS (AP) — Both Kevin McGuff and Ohio State have a lot of money riding on their new union. The 43-year-old McGuff made his first official appearance as the new women’s basketball coach of the Buckeyes on Wednesday. “For somebody who grew up in Ohio and coaches women’s basketball, this is always the job I’ve looked at as saying if there was one job I could ever have it would be that one,” McGuff said at midcourt of the team’s arena. “And if there’s one job where I thought I’d be an amazing fit and could do a fantastic job, it was Ohio State.” After spending nine years as the head coach at Xavier and the past two at Washington, the Hamilton, Ohio, native said it was good to be back home. He takes over for Hall of Fame coach Jim Foster, who was fired after an 18-13 season his first

during his 11-year tenure without 20 wins or a trip to the NCAA tournament. Ohio State is paying McGuff $850,000 a year, not counting performance and academic bonuses, along with $500,000 in retention payments if he remains on the job through the 2020-21 season. He also received a $700,000 signing bonus. He can earn up to $150,000 more if his team has a high grade-point average. If the Buckeyes win at least a share of the Big Ten’s regular-season title, he gets $20,000 plus an additional year onto his contract. Win the conference tournament, he receives $40,000 and an additional year. Plus, if he gets Ohio State into the NCAA tournament where it had been for Foster’s first 10 seasons he’ll get $40,000. Subsequent steps in the NCAAs would fatten his paycheck by $20,000 on up to $100,000 for winning the school’s first national championship.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Ernie Els might’ve been the second happiest golfer at Augusta National last Sunday night when good friend Adam Scott slipped on the green jacket as the Masters’ champion. Els, who tied for 13th last week, is part of a strong field at the RBC Heritage, which begins Thursday. The 2012 British Open champion has had several close calls at Harbour Town Golf Links, but brings plenty of confidence and the satisfaction of watching Scott win his first major championship into this year’s tournament. Els earned his fourth career major at Royal Lytham & St. Anne’s this past July when Scott threw away a four-stroke lead with four holes remaining. Els consoled Scott before hoisting the claret jug, then made sure the Australian didn’t let the collapse derail him from contending in future majors. “I’ve really made a point of getting on him a little bit and keeping him going forward,” Els said Wednesday. “We played a lot of golf and talked quite a bit. He really

was motivated for it.” Scott rallied to the top of the leaderboard in Sunday’s final round, then defeated Angel Cabrera in a playoff to become Australia’s first Masters champion. It was a different sort of conversation the two shared after this major. “Yeah, we had quite a few beers, both of us, when we spoke to each other,” said Els, smiling. “He’s very delighted, I can promise you, that he got a green jacket and I was delighted for him.” The RBC Heritage features 14 of the world’s top 29 golfers in a week that’s typically a chance for the game’s best to grab a breather before the run-up to the U.S. Open. Several, including Scott and world No. 1 Tiger Woods, are doing just that. But there’s lots of star power and talented golfers at Harbour Town. Brandt Snedeker, the 2011 champion here who shared the 54-hole lead a week ago, is the world’s highest-ranked player at No. 5. Luke Donald (No. 6), Matt Kuchar (No. 9) are others from the top 10 playing here. Defending U.S. Open

champion Webb Simpson, ranked 20th joins Els as current major winners here. Jason Day, third at the Masters, was encouraged by another strong showing at Augusta National and by his countryman’s victory. Day tied for second with Scott at the 2011 Masters and the two exchanged texts in the midst of Scott’s demanding post-Masters media whirlwind. Scott told Day he understood the disappointment at coming close again, yet appreciated the class Day showed in defeat. “And I texted him back and said, ‘I’m glad it was you to be the first. It goes down in history forever, mate,’” Day recalled. Day said Harbour Town’s layout fits his game and hopes to take advantage of the work he put in getting ready for the Masters. Snedeker, who famously cried after coming close at the Masters in 2008, found himself resolved to keep improving after this defeat. He had his first over-par round of the tournament with a 75 on Sunday and tied for sixth, five strokes out of the playoff.

“I think this one is easier because I know I’m going to be back,” he said. Still, Snedeker had trouble sleeping Sunday night and didn’t go searching TV or the Internet for accounts of what happened. “I definitely didn’t seek out The Golf Channel,” he said. He believes Harbour Town’s narrow fairways and postage-stamp sized greens could be the perfect pickme-up after Augusta National. “Obviously, the drive down is a big relief after last week,” Snedeker said. “The breath of fresh air after the stress.” Els will be in the spotlight this week. On Friday, tournament organizers will team with “Els for Autism”on a number of initiatives to raise awareness of autism, highlight the importance of early detection and raise funds to help build the Els Center of Excellence which will serve people on the autism spectrum from ages 3-21. Els’ 10-year-old son was diagnosed with autism. “It’s something we want to do,” Els said of the center. “It will keep finding its legs as we go along.”

Uncertain futures Bobcats edge Cavs, both coaches on hot seat

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Justin Masterson delivers against the Boston Red Sox in the first inning Wednesday in Cleveland.

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 combining for four hitless innings and eight strikeouts. Junichi Tazawa struck out four in two innings, Koji Uehara worked a perfect eighth and Bailey had 1-2-3 ninth. The Indians weren’t at full speed. Center fielder Michael Bourn went on the disabled list and second baseman Jason Kipnis missed his fourth game in a row with a sore elbow. Aceves coasted through four innings before Cleveland loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth. Asdrubal Cabrera then hit a liner to deep right that appeared as if it might clear Victorino’s head and the bases, but he ran it down and made the catch. Cabrera ripped off his helmet and slammed it down with two hands in

frustration. Blanked for five innings, the Indians finally got to Aceves and chased him with three runs in the sixth. Carlos Santana walked leading off and Swisher followed with his second homer, a shot into the bullpen in center. Giambi then hit his 430th career homer and first hit since signing with the Indians to bring Cleveland within 5-3. Mark Reynolds hit a double and Aceves was lifted for Tazawa, who got three outs to end the inning. The Red Sox added an unearned run in the eighth to make it 6-3. Ellsbury led off with a single, moved up on a wild pitch and scored from second when reliever Joe Smith fielded Victorino’s bunt and threw wildly to first for an error.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kemba Walker had 24 points and seven assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 10598 Wednesday to avoid finishing in the NBA cellar for a second consecutive season. The Bobcats (21-61) finished one game ahead of the Orlando Magic, who lost their season finale to the Miami Heat. Josh McRoberts added 20 points and eight rebounds as the Bobcats closed the season with three straight wins, matching a season high. Gerald Henderson added 15 points. Kyrie Irving had 24 points and 10 assists for the Cavaliers, who finished with the third-worst record in the league (24-58) after losing 16 of their last 18 games, including their last six. With the win the Bobcats became the first team in NBA history to triple their win total from the previous season. Charlotte finished last year’s lockout-shortened season 7-59 and its .106 winning percentage was the worst ever. The Bobcats jumped all over the Cavaliers early, taking a 34-16 lead after shooting 72 percent from the field in the first quarter. The Bobcats appeared ready to blow out the Cavaliers after extending the lead to 24 in the second quarter, but Irving brought Cleveland back. Irving scored 16 points in the first half on 6-of-9 shooting and the Cavaliers finished the half on an 185 run to cut the Charlotte lead to six heading into the break. Cleveland eventually

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (2) drives into Charlotte Bobcats’ Kemba Walker (15) during the first half in Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday. Irving was called for a foul took the lead with 9:30 left in the game when Dion Waiters scored on a driving layup for its only lead of the game at 77-76. But Walker hit a long 3pointer and Bismack Biyombo scored inside to ignite a 7-0 run giving the Bobcats a lead they’d never relinquish. Walker sealed the game with a pair of

free throws with 15 seconds left to put the Bobcats up by five. Cavaliers coach Byron Scott and Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap both face uncertain futures. The Cavs are just 64166 in three seasons under Scott following the departure of LeBron James. Scott said earlier in the

day the season has been “frustrating” because the Cavaliers “never had a chance to see what we had as a whole with all of the injuries we had.” As for his future, Scott said earlier in the day, “Yeah, I have a year on my contract, (so) unless they tell me otherwise I plan on being back.”

BEREA (AP) — Inside linebacker D’Qwell Jackson has seen just about everything during his eight seasons with the Cleveland Browns, except for a trip to the playoffs. Jackson is playing for his fourth head coach and his second team owner, so changing back from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive scheme isn’t a big challenge. “I’ve played the 4-3, the 3-4, and a little bit of everything else since I’ve been here,” the 6-foot, 240pounder said. “I’m telling you, it’s all the same. The only thing that’s confused me so far is the verbiage, which is a little different. Outside of that, I’m ready to go. “We can’t wait to give Baltimore and Pittsburgh a dose of their own medicine.” Jackson called defensive signals and aggressively played his position Wednesday, the second day of the initial minicamp under new coach Rob

Chudzinski. The three-day voluntary session also is the first time Cleveland’s defense has been on the field with new coordinator Ray Horton. Outside linebackers Paul Kruger (Baltimore) and Quentin Groves (Arizona) were added as free agents to aid in the shift to a 3-4, but Jackson remains the leader of the group and the entire team as the longest tenured member of the Browns. “It definitely helps to have Quentin and Paul around because they know this system better than I do,” said Jackson, Cleveland’s second-round pick in 2006. “Paul is the only guy in this building with a Super Bowl ring, so I respect him for that. Quentin is a big asset, too, because Ray coached him last year in Arizona and knows what he brings to the table.” Outside of the alignment, the biggest change in

Horton’s system from former Browns coordinator Dick Jauron is the volume. Jackson called signals from his position during the second day of minicamp, but was joined in doing so by players on the defensive line and in the secondary. Horton utilized the same setup during the past two seasons as the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator. He was hired by Chudzinski on Jan. 18 after interviewing for the Browns’ coaching job with owner Jimmy Haslam III and CEO Joe Banner earlier in the month. “The beauty of what Ray is doing is he doesn’t let the offense dictate anything,” Jackson said. “He’s giving everybody a chance to rush, cover, and make big plays. I already know he’s a man of his word because I went back and watched all his films from Arizona. From the first game to the last game, their guys got the same opportunities all year.”

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 hard to figure. We get swept in Pittsburgh and then come here and sweep these guys. If anybody figures this game out, I hope they tell me.” First, they concluded a game suspended overnight by rain. Several hundred fans were in the stands to see Phillippe Aumont (1-2) pick the game up in the bottom of the ninth and give up Bruce’s basesloaded single only four batters later. The crowd was 16,467 for the series finale, which started an hour and a half later. Bruce had a big hand in that one, too. He had a bases-loaded single to right field just like the last one that high-

lighted a five-run rally in the second inning off lefthander John Lannan (0-1), who was bothered by tendinitis in his left knee. “Obviously, it was good to get this sweep after having some breaks go against us,” Bruce said. “That’s the name of the game. The mark of a good team is how you come back. You’ve got to rise up and minimize the damage.” Lannan said he’s had tendinitis above his left knee, but it felt fine when he warmed up to start the game. It began bothering him in the first inning and got worse. He’ll be examined on Thursday. “I’m not going to go out there and do that again,” Lannan said.

Reds starter Mike Leake (1-2) drove in a run with his first career triple during Cincinnati’s 10-batter second inning. The Reds had two singles, a double, a triple, Todd Frazier’s homer, a walk and a hit-by-pitch during the rally. Leake, who leads all major league pitchers with 49 hits over the last four seasons, also had a pair of infield singles. The three hits matched his career high he also did it in Philadelphia in 2010. Leake allowed three hits and didn’t walk a batter in seven shutout innings. “I needed a good performance more than the three hits, but it helped,” Leake said.
