Free health screenings, car test drives and a giant inflatable slide are only a few of the offerings at the Not-for-Profit Agency Expo slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27 at Hobart Arena.

About 80 groups will be represented at the event Saturday.

Hosted by the Troy Chamber of Commerce,

the expo allows local organizations to share their message with the community, recruit new volunteers and showcase their services.

Miami County Dental Clinic will host a free clinic, Meijer Pharmacy will have cholesterol and diabetes screenings and Upper Valley Career Center’s culinary class will offer baked goods. Animals from Brukner Nature Center

and the Miami County Parks District also will be a part of the event, as will mascots including Heater from the Dayton Dragons.

“We try to make it fun and offer a lot of free things for the public to enjoy,” said Sabra Johnson, executive director of the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce. “Because we had such a wonderful expo in 2011, I think people know they can have all these health screenings for free — vision tests, diabetes and blood pressure tests — all under one roof, so we expect a

Some things I learned from babysitting Since I started babysitting at age 11, little kids have taught me a lot about human nature and life in general — perhaps way more than I’ve ever taught them.

Back in my junior-high years, when babysitting was my only source of income, I used to care for two boys, ages 3 and 6. They were an absolute riot, that’s for sure.

Incarceration facility reopening pushed back

Renovations, hiring process still under way

MIAMI COUNTY

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com Miami County Sheriff ’s Office officials have pushed back the reopening date for the Incarceration Facility, located on County-Road 25A, to mid-summer.

According to Lt. Dave Norman, jail coordinator, the facility still is

under renovation and the hiring process still is on going.

“We should have one pod ready to open by July 1,” Norman said Monday. Officials had hoped to open the Incarceration Facility in the spring, but the facility needed renovations as a result being shuttered for more than three years.

The facility, closed since December 2009, is a minimum-security jail which can house up to 240 inmates. Only one pod will be open in mid to late June, Norman said. Chief Deputy Dave Duchak said once the

hiring process is complete, the second pod will open late August or early September.

Norman said renovation work includes refinishing floors, which had buckled due to the cold foundation when the facility was shuttered by county commissioners due to budget cuts in 2009 as part of the $1 million in cuts county-wide. The floors currently are being refinished this week, Norman said. Also, a roof leak had to be repaired, the shower areas had to be re-tiled and supplies such as office furnishings had to be purchased.

Apple to dole out $100 billion to shareholders NEW YORK (AP) Apple is opening the doors to its bank vault, saying it will distribute $100 billion in cash to its shareholders over two years. At the same time, the company said it expects sales for the current quarter to fall from the year before, which would be the first decline in many years.

Apple Inc. on Tuesday said it will buy back $60 billion in shares the largest buyback authorization in history. It is also raising its dividend by 15 percent.

Investors have been clamoring for Apple to give them access to its cash hoard, which ended March at an unprecedented $145 billion. Apple’s tight grip on its cash has been blamed for the steep decline in its stock price over the winter.

The last nonprofit expo attracted 3,000 people to Hobart Arena, and even more are expected this year.

Troy Ford will have various vehicles parked outside the arena for participants to test drive. In exchange for a short drive, the company will donate $20 to United Way. Minister Bank and MainSource Bank also are collaborating to donate more than $400 to agencies represented at the event.

The first Not-for-Profit Agency Expo was hosted in November 2008 at Grace Baptist Church. Due to a growth in participants, the expo moved to Hobart Arena in 2011. Johnson said plans are in place to host the biennially.

Sponsors for the event include the Troy Foundation and Miami County Foundation.

Norman said, he, along with Chief Deputy Dave Duchak and Sheriff Charles Cox, currently are in the process of reviewing more than 111 applications to hire the 20 corrections officers needed to open two out of the four pods at the Incarceration Facility in the coming weeks.

Norman said nine corrections officers have been hired so far and will begin physical training on May 4 at the sheriff ’s office’s Correction Officer Academy.

Of the more than 40 corrections officers laid off after the Incarceration Facility closed in 2008, three have been rehired and currently are working at the downtown jail.

“We’ll have one pod up and ready to go first and then open the second one once we fill all the positions,” Norman said.

The facility also will serve as the center to apply for concealed and carry permits and sex offender registration.

Norman said the CCW and sex offender registration is being relocated to the Incarceration Facility at the government complex due to more parking accessibility.

Chief Deputy Dave Duchak said the public should keep in mind that once the Incarceration Facility is open, the downtown jail must reduce its population down to 55 or less inmates due to state law.

Miami County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 58 will be hosting its annual law enforcement memorial service at noon on May 1 at the law enforcement officers’ memorial, located at courthouse plaza, 201 W. Main St. in Troy.

The service is designed to honor those fallen Miami County law enforcement officers and their families. The public is invited to attend.

“We’ll go down from 110 inmates downtown to 55,” Duchak said. “We’ll try to keep the average inmate population around 45 for intakes at the downtown facility.”

Duchak said maximum security inmates will continue to be housed at the downtown jail.

“We are opening up the Incarceration Facility but we are still losing 55-beds due to the state law requirements and standards,” Duchak said.

Duchak said the Miami County Sheriff’s Office will also look in to “bed-rent” for other counties and agencies. Duchak said an agency recently reached out to them to house an overflow of inmates but Miami County Jail did not have the room to take them in and receive the income in return.

“Once the (Incarceration Facility) is open and we get everything established we’ll put the word out to federal and other agencies that we’ll have room for them as long as it’s available,” Duchak said.

She has pleaded not guilty to those charges, which stems from allegedly stealing more than $228,000.

She began her employment with Repacorp in 2006.

Cremeens is out of jail on a recognizance bond.

The duo was indicted by a Miami County grand jury in March and together they allegedly embezzled approximately $675,000.

Wion was arrested in Venice, Fla., on May 22, 2012, outside of his home as he walked his dog after he unexpectedly quit his job earlier that same month. Cremeens was arrested in the same city a few days later.

Repacorp owner Rick Heinl called Wion a “snake” in an interview with authorities.

The company is hoping to recoup the funds that were stolen and both Wion and Cremeens, if convicted, are expected to make restitution to Repacorp.

Repacorp manufactures high quality stock, custom and digital labels and tags and has two business divisions, one in Franklin, Wis., and another in Phoenix, Ariz. The company has its headquarters in Tipp City, according to the company’s website.

into the allegation of theft in office.

During the investigation a search warrant was issued on Walter’s office in November where nearly $1,400 was discovered in his desk.

Additionally, a computer and several files were seized from his office, which was located at a city’s maintenance facility located at 1400 Experiment Farm Road, Troy.

According to one warrant an employee told authorities that scrap metal from one of Troy’s garages was deposited at Urban Elsass and Son, Piqua, for cash that was not accounted for and allegedly was taken by Walters.

Police detectives visited the scrap metal recycling business and were given 20

receipts that were made out to the city of Troy for approximately $4,500 as of October 2012. The receipts the company produced went back to July 2011.

According to Walter’s indictment the alleged thefts transpired between Nov. 1, 2006, though Oct. 29, 2012.

During the investigation Troy Auditor John Stickel told investigators no such cash was ever deposited into city funds during that time.

City records show Walter began employment with Troy in 1973 with the police department and later transferred to the street department eight years later.

He was named operations superintendent in 1999, a position he held until is abrupt resignation late last year.

Jill Balser from Piqua made her 23rd lifetime donation at the drive. She said she became a donor when her sister was pregnant and began asking family members about their blood type. (It’s important for pregnant women to know their blood type. If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, there is the potential for their baby to have a health problem. Rh disease is rare today thanks to use of the drug Rhogam).

“She just wanted to be on the safe side,” said Jill.

Meghan Safreed, a 17year-old junior at Lehman High School, came to the blood drive with her mom Melissa to make her fourth lifetime donation. Melissa is the CBC blood drive coordinator at Lehman.

“My goal is to make five blood donations before I graduate,” Safreed said.

Troy Daily News Editorial Board FRANK BEESON / Group Publisher DAVID FONG / Executive Editor

“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 Boston Herald on bombs detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon: The words have now been spoken — and by the president — lest there be any doubt that this attack on Marathon Day could have been anything other than an act of terrorism.

“Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians it is an act of terror,” President Obama said yesterday. It was a word he seemed to avoid on Monday — however he chose to define it.

“What we don’t know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why; whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was it the act of a malevolent individual,” he said.

And yet we do know some things that we did not know 24 hours earlier. We know from the pieces of shrapnel removed from many victims of Monday’s explosion that this was — in the manner of explosives used by terrorists during the intifada — created to maim, to do maximum damage. The explosives, nails and ball bearings were packed into kitchen pressure cookers, then placed in black nylon bags and left on the ground at those two Boylston Street locations. Similar bombs have been used in Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan.

How diabolically simple — and how deadly … Young people with their whole lives ahead of them ripped from our community.

And today we also know that even as our hearts ache at the loss — of lives, of futures, of our sense of safety — we have never been stronger as a community.

The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee on a report examining U.S. interrogation techniques after the 9/11 terrorist attacks: As a country, we have not yet accepted that in the understandable fear and anger after 9/11, suspected terrorists were tortured. An independent review released Tuesday can be an important step to reach that truth — and to make sure it never happens again.

“It is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture,” concludes the report issued by the bipartisan Constitution Project. “As long as the debate continues, so too does the possibility that the United States could again engage in torture.”

The 577-page study confirms previously reported abuses by military and intelligence personnel at detention centers in Iraq and Afghanistan, secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe and Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. It also validates a report that one or more Libyan militants were waterboarded by the CIA, which has long maintained that only three al-Qaida prisoners were subjected to the near-drownings.

The CIA also slammed detainees into walls, chained them in uncomfortable positions and kept them awake for days. The report cites dozens of cases in which similar treatment was prosecuted in the United States or denounced as torture by the State Department when done by other countries.

The report concludes that there’s “no persuasive evidence” that the brutal interrogations yielded any valuable intelligence that could not have been obtained by other means.

We don’t know yet whether those behind the horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon are linked in any way to al-Qaida or another foreign terrorist group.

We do know that there will be more acts of terror against Americans.

And we should know that the torture perpetrated after 9/11 has made those future attacks more likely, not less. The inhumane treatment almost certainly endangered our own soldiers, violated international law, damaged America’s moral standing and only bred more militants. …

The study was conducted by an 11-member task force led by two former members of Congress, Republican Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas and Democrat James Jones of Oklahoma. While the task force did not have access to classified reports, it visited Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and other countries, and interviewed more than 100 people, including former detainees, military and intelligence officers and policymakers.

Like many in his party, Hutchinson, who was undersecretary for homeland security for Bush, had been reluctant to acknowledge that the U.S. practiced torture. But after nearly two years of intensive research, he has no doubts.

“The United States has a historic and unique character,” he told The New York Times, “and part of that character is that we do not torture.”

DOONESBURY

Some things I’ve learned while babysitting Since I started babysitting at age 11, little kids have taught me a lot about human nature and life in general — perhaps way more than I’ve ever taught them. Back in my junior-high years, when babysitting was my only source of income, I used to care for two boys, ages 3 and 6. They were an absolute riot, that’s for sure.

At 11, I was essentially a kid babysitting two younger kids (though I was indeed Red-Cross certified) which is probably why my twin sister and I used to watch them together in the beginning.

The boys taught me everything from how to play baseball to how to mediate a heated argument. They also occasionally tried to teach me who’s boss: I one time got locked out of the house (not funny, boys!), though for better or worse the parents were still home. How embarrassing.

I’ve probably babysat for about 20 families since then, including cousins’ kids, neighbors and friends of friends. There was the thirdgrade girl who showed me how to play “Skip It,” the 5-month-old boy who eventually called me “Na-Na,” and the 1-year-old fraternal twins who gave me a glimpse at what life must have been like for my own

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist mom and dad at one time.

With a full-time job, babysitting nowadays simply provides some supplemental income — though the timing is pretty difficult to coordinate sometimes. I still occasionally find time to babysit, just because I like to. And even though years and years have passed and the families have changed since I was 11, I have still found a few things to hold true: 1. Reading a book before bed is so calming and will help you fall asleep. (Kid favorites include “Goodnight Moon” and anything involving Clifford or Thomas the Tank Engine.)

2. Always bring snacks so you won’t get irritable. Who doesn’t like animal crackers, especially those ones with the vanilla icing and

rainbow sprinkles?

3. On a related note, eating something sweet can indeed make us happy.

4. …But too much will give us a tummy ache.

5. Friends make life so much more enjoyable. Even if that friend is invisible. And for us adults, talking to ourselves to work out a problem is OK too. (Or am I the only one who does that?!)

6. What’s planned for dinner can either make or break your day.

7. Never underestimate the power of a hug.

8. Some movies can be watched over and over and over again.

Especially Disney movies.

9. Wearing pants that are too tight can make anyone very miserable.

10. Go outside to burn off some steam.

11. Not getting enough sleep will make us either uber hyper or super grumpy. Neither are very enjoyable for those around us.

12. Be careful what you say, because it might be remembered forever.

13. Sometimes we just can’t help swaying to the beat of a favorite song.

14. Birthday parties are awe-

some. Well, at least those under the age of 21.

15. Everybody likes attention.

Except when you’re doing something really bad.

16. A good cry is sometimes all you need to feel happy again.

17. We are all hypocrites.

18. Most people like to learn, but schoolwork itself is definitely not enjoyable all the time.

19. You can get really angry at people you really do love a lot.

Ahem, siblings.

20. You’re never too old to swing on a playground, play hide-andseek, make friendship bracelets, go “fishing” in a backyard pond or play Chutes and Ladders.

I guess if there’s one overarching lesson I’ve learned, it’s this: As much as I love taking care of other people’s kids, I’m usually ready to give them back at the end, when the parents come home. I know that sounds awful, and I don’t mean it to at all — I really do adore the kids. But I’m usually pretty tired at the end of the day, no matter how fun. Parents, you clearly have patience and energy that outlast my own.

dictator Manuel Noriega on drug conspiracy charges, agreed it wouldn’t make sense to deny the younger Tsarnaev’s involvement, but attorneys could try to spare his life by focusing on his age 19 and possible coercion by his older brother, Tamerlan, 26, who was killed Friday in a fierce police shootout.

“To take this case to trial and argue that he didn’t plant the bomb and someone else did it would be futile,” Rubino said in an email.

“The evidence of both flight from the police and the shootout will come in evidence as ‘consciousness of guilt.’ How can one explain that conduct? Innocent people don’t throw bombs at the cops, shoot it out with the cops and hide.”

Tsarnaev was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill in the April 15 bombings.

He could face the death penalty if convicted. He was questioned in his Boston hospital room by a special interrogation team for highvalue suspects.

Two U.S. officials said preliminary evidence from that interrogation suggests the brothers were motivated by religious extremism but apparently were not involved with Islamic terrorist groups. Tsarnaev communicated with his interrogators in writing, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.

An FBI affidavit released Monday reveals incriminating evidence against Tsarnaev, including surveillance-camera footage that shows him raising his mobile phone to his ear just before the two blasts. After the first explosion, a block away, as the horrified crowd turned in that direction, he appeared calm. He then quickly walked away, leaving a knapsack on the ground.

About 10 seconds later, the FBI said, a bomb blew up where he’d been standing.

Authorities also have said they found a “large pyrotechnic” and BB pellets during a search of his dorm room at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth on Sunday. Among the shrapnel that struck victims were BBs.

with a “G”

(AP) — There are photos of the suspect at the bomb scene, video footage of him dropping a knapsack at the site of one of the blasts, and perhaps most incriminating could be the written words of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev himself during questioning in a Boston hospital. A case with evidence like this may be the toughest challenge a lawyer can face: defending someone accused of an act of terror so horrific a nation cries out for swift, severe punishment.

Attorneys who handle terrorism and other notorious cases say public opinion is stacked against the defense for obvious reasons.

Acts of terrorism unleash an outpouring of anger from the public, including potential jurors. In Boston, the circumstances are especially egregious: Three people, including an 8-year-old boy, died in the twin blasts, more than 260 were injured, and a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was later fatally shot.

Some lawyers say that in this case, the surveillance evidence and a police shootout make a “he wasn’t there” innocence claim untenable and keeping Tsarnaev out of the execution chamber may itself be a triumph.

“The reality is you just try to save his life,” said Thomas A. Durkin, a Chicago lawyer who has defended several terrorism suspects, including Ramzi bin al Shibh, one of the alleged plotters in the 9/11 attacks now being held in Guantanamo.

Durkin said there are several steps the defense can take: Hire top-notch investigators, look for possible psychiatric issues or brain damage and scour for potential vulnerabilities in how the government collected evidence. But he said the biggest hurdles for lawyers, clearly, are the bombings and the ensuing horror.

“It’s just an unspeakable crime,” Durkin said. “It strikes at the heart of a free society. It strikes fear into everyone. It’s just an awful, awful situation people standing, watching a race one second and having no feet after that. I can’t imagine worse evidence.”

Frank Rubino, a Miami defense attorney who represented former Panamanian

sent Khozhugov a song he’d composed in English and Russian. He said he was about to start music school.

Six weeks later, the two men spoke on the phone.

Khozhugov asked how school was going.

“I quit,” Tamerlan said.

“Why did you quit?”

Khozhugov asked. “You just started.”

“Music is not really supported in Islam,” he replied.

“Who told you that?”

“Misha said it’s not really good to create music. It’s not really good to listen to music,” Tamerlan said, according to Khozhugov.

Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website.

Khozhugov said Tamerlan was interested in finding a copy of the book “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the classic antiSemitic hoax, first published in Russia in 1903, that claims a Jewish plot to take over the world.

“He never said he hated America or he hated the Jews,” Khozhugov said.

“But he was fairly aggressive toward the policies of the U.S. toward countries with Muslim populations.

He disliked the wars.”

One of the brothers’ neighbors, Albrecht Ammon, recently recalled an encounter in which Tamerlan argued about U.S. foreign policy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and religion.

Ammon said Tamerlan described the Bible as a “cheap copy” of the Quran, used to justify wars with other countries.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a police shootout Friday. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, and he could face the death penalty if convicted.

“Of course I was shocked and surprised that he was Suspect No. 1,” Khozhugov said, recalling the days after the bombing when the FBI identified Tamerlan as the primary suspect. “But after a few hours of thinking about it, I thought it could be possible that he did it.”

Based on preliminary written interviews with Dzhokar in his hospital bed, U.S. officials believe the brothers were motivated by their religious views.

It has not been clear, however, what those views were.

As authorities try to piece together that information, they are touching on a question asked after so many terrorist plots:

He asked it politely.

Tamerlan was so much into the conversation he didn’t listen.”

Khozhugov said Tamerlan’s mother, Zubeidat, told him not to worry. “‘Don’t interrupt them,’” Khozhugov recalled the mother saying. “‘They’re talking about religion and good things. Misha is teaching him to be good and nice.’”

As time went on, Tamerlan and his father argued about the young man’s new beliefs.

“When Misha would start talking, Tamerlan would stop talking and listen. It upset his father because Tamerlan wouldn’t listen to him as much,” Khozhugov said. “He would listen to this guy from the mosque who was preaching to him.”

Anzor became so concerned that he called his brother, worried about Misha’s effects.

“I heard about nobody else but this convert,” Tsarni said. “The seed for changing his views was planted right there in Cambridge.”

It was not immediately clear whether the FBI has spoken to Misha or was attempting to.

Tsarnaev became an ardent reader of jihadist websites and extremist propaganda, two U.S. officials said. He read Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al-Qaida’s Yemen affiliate.

Tamerlan loved music and, a few years ago, he

injuring 264 people.

“They all loved Tamerlan. He was the eldest one and he, in many ways, was the role model for his sisters and his brother,” said Elmirza Khozhugov, 26, the ex-husband of Tamerlan’s sister, Ailina. “You could always hear his younger brother and sisters say, ‘Tamerlan said this,’ and ‘Tamerlan said that.’ Dzhokhar loved him. He would do whatever Tamerlan would say.

“Even my ex-wife loved him so much and respected him so much,” Khozhugov said. “I’d have arguments with her and if Tamerlan took my side, she would agree: ‘OK, if Tamerlan said it.’”

Khozhugov said he was close to Tamerlan when he was married and they kept in touch for a while but drifted apart in the past two years or so. He spoke to the AP from his home in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A family member in the United States provided the

What turns someone into a terrorist?

The brothers emigrated in 2002 or 2003 from Dagestan, a Russian republic that has become an epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from the region of Chechnya.

They were raised in a home that followed Sunni Islam, the religion’s largest sect. They were not regulars at the mosque and rarely discussed religion, Khozhugov said.

Then, in 2008 or 2009, Tamerlan met Misha, a slightly older, heavyset bald man with a long reddish beard. Khozhugov didn’t know where they’d met but believed they attended a Boston-area mosque together. Misha was an Armenian native and a convert to Islam and quickly began influencing his new friend, family members said.

Once, Khozhugov said, Misha came to the family home outside Boston and sat in the kitchen, chatting with Tamerlan for hours.

“Misha was telling him what is Islam, what is good in Islam, what is bad in Islam,” said Khozhugov, who said he was present for the conversation. “This is the best religion and that’s it. Mohammed said this and Mohammed said that.”

The conversation continued until Tamerlan’s father, Anzor, came home from work.

“It was late, like midnight,” Khozhugov said.

“His father comes in and says, ‘Why is Misha here so late and still in our house?’

www.giacomos.biz

WASHINGTON (AP) — In the years before the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan Tsarnaev fell under the influence of a new friend, a Muslim convert who steered the religiously apathetic young man toward a strict strain of Islam, family members said.

Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said.

He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.

“Somehow, he just took his brain,” said Tamerlan’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who recalled conversations with Tamerlan’s worried father about Misha’s influence.

Efforts over several days

by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been unsuccessful.

Tamerlan’s relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the attack itself.

Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist groups.

Throughout his religious makeover, Tamerlan maintained a strong influence over his siblings, including Dzhokhar, who investigators say carried out the deadly attack by his older brother’s side, killing three and

Born in Dayton in 1872 to former slaves Joshua and Matilda Dunbar, Paul Laurence Dunbar was his mother’s third son.

Although he encountered many obstacles, Paul believed in “preparation, perseverance, bravery, patience, honesty and the power to seize the opportunity.”

Life wasn’t easy for the Dunbar family. Joshua was an educated man who fought in the Civil War, but he could not find work.

Matilda took in laundry, and Paul’s brothers did odd jobs to make money. When Paul was young, his parents divorced, which exacerbated the financial stress. Despite their poverty, Matilda made sure her children enjoyed lives full of the songs, poetry and stories she loved. Paul loved these things, too. He wrote his first poem when he was six.

As Paul grew, his writing talent brought him recognition that was unusual for black Americans in the 1880s. He recited his poetry publicly, and a newspaper published one of his poems when he was 14. He was the only black student at his high school, yet he was the editor of the school newspaper, president of the literary club and senior class president.

After high school, Dunbar faced even more discrimination. He wanted to attend Harvard, but few colleges accepted blacks in 1890. He wanted to write for newspapers, but they didn’t hire blacks. He took the only paying job he could find. He became an elevator operator.

By day he ran the elevator, but at night he continued to write.

He published his first book of poetry, Oak and Ivy, in 1892.

He published more books, and his writing eventually began to appear in national magazines and in Europe.

Despite these achievements, Dunbar’s life was still difficult.

Many people criticized his writing because he wrote in slave dialects to express the experiences of black men and women.

Many whites couldn’t believe that a black man was smart enough to write.

They didn’t want to hear what he was trying to say about racial injustice, but Dunbar persevered. He worked nearly until the day he died of tuberculosis in 1906 at age 33. He had published 12 books of poetry, four books of short stories, five novels, a play, and lyrics for eight musicals. His work would inspire the next generation of black writers whose explosion of great writing became known as the Harlem Renaissance.

Words to Know: Renaissance discrimination exacerbated perseverance generation dialects For Discussion: 1. What did Paul Laurence Dunbar believe in that helped him overcome so many obstacles in his path?

2. How did Dunbar’s mother affect his career as a writer?

3. How did Dunbar’s writing affect the next generation of black writers?

Newspaper Activity: Paul Laurence Dunbar was a member of the first generation of free black Americans born after slavery. He was talented and educated, but he faced great discrimination. Reflect on what life from the 1880s to early 1900s might have been like for blacks with equal or less education and talent.

drive, but I got off schedule so this helped me catch up.”

Jill Balser from Piqua made her 23rd lifetime donation at the drive. She said she became a donor when her sister was pregnant and began asking family members about their blood type. (It’s important for pregnant women to know their blood type. If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, there is the potential for their baby to have a health problem. Rh disease is rare today thanks to use of the drug Rhogam).

“She just wanted to be on the safe side,” said Jill.

Meghan Safreed, a 17year-old junior at Lehman High School, came to the blood drive with her mom Melissa to make her fourth lifetime donation. Melissa is the CBC blood drive coordinator at Lehman.

“My goal is to make five blood donations before I graduate,” Safreed said.

As the spring and summer warm up, so will Gover’s commitment to CBC blood drives and to motorcycle events in the area. Gover will help kick-off “Bike Night” in Troy on May 23 with a tent and product display. Bike Night is held every Thursday night through mid-September.

Gover will host its next CBC blood drive from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 20. Gover’s annual poker run will be in August and Gover will host again host a CBC blood drive as part of “Hero Day” on Sept. 14.

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, April 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not be sure whose financial interests to put first, your own or those of others. This time, you cannot ignore your own personal earnings.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Because today’s Full Moon is the only Full Moon directly opposite your sign all year, you likely will feel tension with partners and close friends. Fortunately, this is short-lived. Be patient.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today’s Full Moon will create tension with co-workers, customers and anyone related to your job. Problems always increase before a Full Moon, and then afterward, they diminish or disappear. (Fingers crossed.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Parents and teachers must be patient with children, because today’s Full Moon can create stronger emotions and bigger reactions to events. Romantic partners will discover this as well.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of career and your external world today. You can’t ignore your career.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful because the Full Moon today can set up an accident-prone situation for you. Mainly, this would occur simply because you are emotionally distracted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be confused about financial matters today because the Full Moon makes you feel pulled in two directions. If you’re not sure what to do, do nothing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place today, causing tension with others. Just accept this and bide your time for 48 hours. Be tolerant and patient.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) The Full Moon today might make you feel anxious, because it’s taking place in a “hidden” part of your chart. You feel vaguely distracted, but you’re not sure why. Relax; this is short-lived.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Difficulties with friends, especially in group situations, might arise today because there’s a lot of tension in the air.

Just be patient, as things will be fine in a few days.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Difficulties with authority figures are likely today, whether they are parents at home or bosses at work. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an accident-prone day for you, so be patient. Pay attention to everything you say and do.

YOU BORN TODAY You have a strong physical aura that others notice. To you, actions speak louder than words.

You are very much in the present and constantly notice your surroundings.

You have strong plans that you intend to make a reality. You hate phonies.

Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Wednesday, April 24, the 114th day of 2013.

There are 251 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 24, 1913, the 792-foot Woolworth Building, at that time the tallest skyscraper in the world, officially opened in Manhattan as President Woodrow Wilson pressed a button at the White House to signal the lighting of the towering structure.

On this date: • In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. (The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.)

• In 1932, in the Free State of Prussia, the Nazi Party gained a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections.

• In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. • In 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA’s Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image from Camp Parks, Calif., to Westford, Mass.

• In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The

East is Red.” • In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen.

• Today’s Birthdays: Movie director-producer Richard Donner is 83.

Actress Shirley MacLaine is 79.

Actress-singer-director Barbra Streisand is 71. Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is 71.

Country singer Richard Sterban (The Oak Ridge Boys) is 70. Rock singermusician Jack Blades (Night Ranger) is 59. Actor Michael O’Keefe is 58.

Actor Djimon Hounsou is 49.

City eyes land for beach replenishment land taken.

Mayor George Nebel predicts only four or five residents will ultimately refuse to sign. He says the town has no choice if it wants to survive.

“We’ve got to get those,” he said.

Nebel said Mantoloking has either signed easements or verbal commitments from 121 of 128 oceanfront homeowners.

The deadline for submitting completed easements is Friday.

Mantoloking was devastated by the Oct. 29 storm, which cut it in half, opening a new inlet between the ocean and Barnegat Bay. Filling in that breach and rebuilding Route 35 along the shore took a massive emergency construction project.

Only about 40 residents have been able to return to their homes; many more are awaiting demolition or face extensive repairs that will not be done anytime soon.

And the borough’s defenses have been drastically weakened by Sandy and a series of winter storms since then.

A second breach took place last month when a storm washed away a temporary dune and water flowed across the highway into the bay once again.

BRICK, N.J. (AP) — Having gotten only so far with “friendly persuasion,” the Jersey shore community that was hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy is ready to take out the stick.

Mantoloking is preparing to use eminent domain to take control of small strips of land from oceanfront homeowners who are holding up a critically needed beach replenishment project.

The storm-decimated borough hired an attorney Tuesday to start condemnation proceedings against a handful of holdouts who won’t sign easements that would allow federal officials to carry out the work. And it plans to publicly release the names of the holdouts within the next week if they don’t change their minds and sign.

“A selfish and shortsighted group of people are going to cost this town a lot of money,” said Councilman Steve Gillingham. “We’re moving from the friendly persuasion approach we’ve been taking to some assertive legal action. The town will be releasing the names of this small, but difficult group.”

The work is desperately needed in Mantoloking, which saw every one of its 521 homes damaged, with scores destroyed. It would pay compensation for any

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.

Bringing out the best Troy girls dominate at County

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com Troy girls track coach Kurt Snyder decided to mix it up a little bit at Tuesday’s Miami County Invitational.

Snyder shuffled the lineups in the relay events — where Troy has been known to dominate — and had some girls competing in different events in hopes of promoting intersquad competition.

PIQUA And that competition seemed to bring out the best in the Troy girls — particularly Gracie Huffman — as the team rolled to yet another Miami County title in Piqua Tuesday.

TROTWOOD

Troy got more of a fight than it expected.

In the end, the result was the same.

The Trojans (7-3, 1-1 Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) took care of business Tuesday at Trotwood, picking up its first division win

of the season with a 4-1 victory.

At first singles, Luke Oaks defeated Hank Grinner 6-1, 6-1. At second singles, Chris Schmitt defeated Lamane Seck 6-4, 7-5. At first doubles, Matt Alexander and Ian Stutz

against a surprisingly-good Trotwood team,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “Luke continues to play well and Chris pulled out a close match. Jesse settled down and played a good second set. Both doubles teams dominated play in their respective matches.”

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division play.

Pitcher Bri Eichbaum recorded her 12th win of the season. Jordynn Kostyal doubled and added an RBI, Hannah Beck, Megan Rittenhouse and Kristin Mace all had two hits and a double, Ali Muse had three hits, a double and two RBIs and Rachel Rusk finished with a pair of hits, a double and an RBI. The Red Devils are now 15-4, 9-0 CBC Kenton Trail.

Milton-Union 15, Preble Shawnee 8 CAMDEN — Ashley Smith went 4 for 4 with a pair of home runs and seven RBIs in Milton-Union’s 15-8 win over Preble Shawnee Tuesday.

The Bulldogs (8-9, 4-4 Southwestern Buckeye League) got big contributions all around on offense.

Chloe Smith went 3 for 5 with a double, Christine Heisey doubled and finished 2 for 5, Brittany Courtright went 3 for 5, Claire Fetters was 2 for 4 and Haley Martens added two RBIs. Milton scored eight runs in the first three innings of the game, but led just 8-7 after the bottom of three.

The Bulldogs piled on four insurance runs in the top of the seventh for good measure.

TV South 7, Bethel 3 BRANDT — Twin Valley South scored three runs in the sixth and seventh innings, rallying to defeat Bethel 7-3 Tuesday.

Briana Anthony doubled and was 2 for 4 for Bethel, while Mandy Shoopman also went 2 for 4. travels to Bethel Mississinawa Valley today.

Madison Linn pounded

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 and it was the most fun I’ve had playing football in my whole life,” Lane said. “Bret really focused on building fundamentals and teaching and coaching playing football the right way. He really changed the culture of football at the school. He’s a mentor of mine, and I think the world of him.”

After 13 years at Milton-Union, Pearce finished with a 77-63 record — 75-45 after those first two seasons. The Bulldogs also won five postseason games during his tenure, reaching the regional championship game and finishing as regional runners-up in 2006 and 2012.

And if anyone knows how Pearce was able to turn things around and how to stay on that path, it’s Lane. After all, he was there in the beginning.

“I want to uphold the tradition of Milton-Union football,” Lane said. “I want to maximize every players potential. We’ve got a great bunch of hard workers — some of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen. I just want to pull every ounce of effort and greatness out of every one of these guys.

“As a team, we want to let the community know that this isn’t about individuals. It’s not even about the team. It’s about this entire community.”

A community that has been a huge part of Lane throughout his entire life.

“I’ve been gone for a little more than 10 years now, but my whole family still lives in the MiltonUnion area. It’s great to be back around family,” Lane said.

Like a dream come true.

• Baseball Greenville 5, Troy 4 TROY — After routing Greenville — and seeing the division’s top team fall — on Monday, the Trojans came into Tuesday’s game against the Wave looking to protect their first-place tie.

But Greenville plated five in the top of the second inning and Troy (9-5, 4-2) struggled to get clutch hits, leaving nine on base in a 5-4 loss Tuesday at Market Street Field.

“It’s disappointing,” Troy coach Ty Welker said. “You go out and score runs one day, to the point where it seems like you can’t not score runs, and then you have a game like this … it was like we were going through the motions. Like we thought they were going to give us runs.”

Dylan Cascaden was 2 for 2 with two stolen bases and a run scored as Troy managed only five singles in the game and saw its twothrough-five hitters go 0 for

the day.

Zach Kendall got the loss, striking out six and walking five — all five in the first two innings. Five of Greenville’s six hits also came in the top of the second.

Troy looks to bounce back Friday at home against Springfield.

Milton-Union 7, Preble Shawnee 4 CAMDEN — Flipping the script from Monday’s loss, the Milton-Union Bulldogs piled up five runs in the top of the fourth inning and held on from there, defeating Preble Shawnee 7-4 in Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division play.

Miami East 10, National Trail 0 CASSTOWN — Miami East’s Garrett Mitchell had a three-run triple in the second inning that jump-started a 10-0 thumping of National Trail Tuesday in Cross County Conference play.

Pitcher Brandon Kirk went the distance for the victory and only gave up three hits. Kirk was also 3 for 4 at the plate. Evan Bowling and Michael Fellers went 2 for 3, Braxton Donaldson finished 2 for 2.

“Kirk pitched a good game,” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. “That was his second win of the year. That was a big shot by Mitchell to give us a jump in the second inning.”

Newton 13, TV South 8 WEST ALEXANDRIA — Newton scored eight in the top of the second inning and put together just enough insurance to make that lead hold up, shutting down Twin Valley South 13-8 Monday in Cross County Conference play.

Cody Alexander had two hits and three RBIs for Newton (7-8, 2-3), Logan Welbaum doubled and scored twice, Gavin Alexander was 3 for 4, Bryan Delcamp was 2 for 3 with two runs and Dusty Coate and Brandon Delcamp each scored two runs in the game. Chase

Courtney got the win on the mound.

“We took a 12-2 lead into the fourth inning and hung on for a big conference win,” Newton coach Gregg Carnes said.

Dixie 4, Milton-Union 3 WEST MILTON — Dixie scored three in the top of the fifth to tie the game and picked up the gamewinner in the seventh, rallying past Milton-Union 4-3 Monday.

Zac Greenwald was 3 for 3 with a double to lead the Bulldogs, who scored three runs over the first two innings but couldn’t hang on.

• Softball Greenville 8, Troy 1 GREENVILLE — The Troy Trojans dropped their third straight Monday, falling to perennial power-

Harrison joins Cincinnati CINCINNATI (AP) — James Harrison is bringing a healed body and his old No. 92 with him down the Ohio River. Next goal: Get a Bengals ring to go with all that Steelers bling.

The former Pittsburgh linebacker signed a twoyear contract Tuesday, completing the deal he agreed to four days earlier.

He’s already got his uniform No. 92 reserved defensive end Jamaal Anderson agreed to give it up and his plans set. He’ll continue to live in footballcrazed Pittsburgh while trying to get the rival Bengals deep into the playoffs.

He’s not sure how that’s going to feel.

“I wouldn’t say it feels strange,” Harrison said Tuesday on a conference call from Arizona. “I guess when that time comes, I’ll have a better understand-

ing or feeling of exactly what it will be then. I’m just happy to be able to continue playing.”

The five-time Pro Bowl player had to find a new team when he couldn’t agree on a restructured contract with the Steelers, who needed to get under the salary cap. The 2008 Defensive Player of the Year wound up going downriver to play for an AFC North rival, one that knocked Pittsburgh out of the playoff chase in a headto-head game last December at Heinz Field.

“There was no significance in staying in the AFC North,” Harrison said. “My thing was I wanted to play with a team that was competitive and had a chance of winning a Super Bowl. I felt like (defending champion) Baltimore and Cincinnati were those teams.”

Browns set for vital NFL draft CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns owner Jimmy Haslam’s first draft will be unlike any in team history.

There’s no guarantee it won’t be his only one.

The endless speculation over what Cleveland might do with the No. 6 overall pick, whether they’ll select another quarterback maybe one to replace Brandon Weeden in the first round or trade defensive linemen Jabaal Sheard or Ahtyba Rubin seems pretty trivial all of a sudden.

This year, “being on the clock” has new meaning for the Browns.

With Haslam embroiled in a deepening FBI investigation for fraud at his Pilot

Flying J truck-stop chain empire, the team’s revamped front office, new coach Rob Chudzinski along with his staff and newly signed high-priced free agents, enter this year’s NFL draft facing more uncertainty.

Haslam, who bought the team last year from Randy Lerner, insists he has done nothing wrong.

He has no plans to step aside as CEO of his family’s business or as head of the Browns while federal authorities ascertain how much he knew about a widespread scheme by sales executives in his Knoxville, Tenn.-based company to defraud customers.

Monday ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Tippecanoe 7, Bellefontaine 0 TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe Red Devils knocked down one of the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division contenders on Monday, shutting out Bellefontaine 7-0.

Milton-Union 10, Dixie 0 WEST MILTON — Milton-Union came out hot and finished strong in a 100 win over Dixie Monday, improving to 7-9 and 3-4 in the Southwestern Buckeye Conference Buckeye Division.

Jesse Bowman had a huge game at the plate, going 3 for 3 with a double and triple. Brittany Courtright finished 2 for 3, Christine Heisey was 2 for 4, Kayla Smith had two RBIs and Haley Martens added a double.

Chloe Smith was the winning pitcher.

Tippecanoe 9, Bellefontaine 4

TIPP CITY — Bri Eichbaum got her 11th win of the season as Tippecanoe defeated Bellefontaine 9-4 Monday.

Tippecanoe stayed unbeaten in Central Buckeye Conference play at 8-0, 14-4 overall.

Troy’s Miles Hibbler wins the long jump Tuesday at the Miami County Invitational.

Boys ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 rect something like that,” Troy boys coach Deon Metz said. “They’ve just been sitting idle since and haven’t gotten to go out and fix it. All they could do is sit around and think about it … until tonight.”

Still, they had to get warmed up first.

Hibbler wasn’t satisfied with his run in the 100, even though he won in 11.39 seconds — only 0.02 seconds ahead of Covington’s A.J. Oullette (11.41) and 0.03 ahead of teammate Williams (11.42).

In the end, it was competition in practice that helped him win.

“I did not have a good block start,” Hibbler said. “At about 70 meters, I finally pulled out of it. The adrenaline is pumping (in a close race), and when it’s that close you just have to want it more.

“Me, Blake, Devante and Zimm are all pretty close in speeds. And when coming off blocks, I like to race against Blake because he gives me a good challenge.”

“I told the guys just to get better as the meet goes on,” Metz said. “It’s been a while since they’ve had a race, so they had to run through that and get their legs under them again. Not to mention there’s been some sickness going through the team, but we said we weren’t going to make excuses tonight. We were going to come out and attack — and that’s what we’ve done.”

Also on the attack was Troy’s distance runners, who piled up points in the 1,600 and 3,200.

Jon Osman (4:32.57) and Troy Schultz (4:35.96) went one-two in the 1,600.

Branden Nosker, who qualified for state during cross country season, won the 3,200 (9:57.69), Osman was second (9:59.91) and Stephen Jones was third (10:02.8).

“Thos guys all looked great at the Butler Invite Saturday,” Metz said. “They had their legs under them already — the schedule just worked out that way. Jon is getting so strong at the end of races. He’s developing a kick, and that’s fun to watch.”

Hibbler also won the long jump (20-2.75), Nathan Fleischer won the pole vault (14-6) and Alex Dalton (1457) and Seth Overla (144-4) went one-two in the discus.

• Hurdles Monopoly The Covington Buccaneers have owned every hurdles race they’ve come near this season.

Tuesday was no exception.

Troy Cron, Dalton Bordelon and Ben Miller swept the top three spots in the 110 and 300 hurdles at the Miami County Invitational. In the 110 hurdles, Cron won (15.38 seconds), Miller was second (16.13) and Bordelon was third (16.86). In the 300, Cron won (40.35 seconds), Bordelon was second (41.76) and Miller was third (43.64).

“We’re all just really athletic and really fast, and we push each other in practice,” Cron said.

“Even at smaller meets, we always have competition because we’re running against each other,” Bordelon said.

“They all three scored at district last year. Troy wants to get back to state, and Dalton says he wants to make the regional, but if he

keeps dropping his time, he has a shot to get out, I think,” Covington boys coach Kyle Moore said.

The hurdles sweep was particularly clutch Tuesday — Covington finished second with 150.5 points, while Tippecanoe was third with 108.

“It definitely does, especially today. With both Troy and Tipp, it may be their one weakness,” Moore said.

“Even if we don’t win or get second, the hurdles is definitely where we’re doing the most damage today.”

And the hurdlers all credited Covington’s hurdles coach, Ashley Potts, who joined the team last year.

“I came here last year and changed the way they work out,” Potts said. “They used to do a sprint drill with hurdles, but now they’re doing a hurdles drill every day. And they compete against each other in practice every day, so it just pushes them all more and more.”

And an X-factor? Jackie Siefring from the girls team.

“Jackie moving in made us pick it up, too,” Cron said.

“She’s fast.”

“She stays up there with them,” Potts said. “I keep telling her not to be afraid to run faster than them — because that will push them, too.”

Lane White also picked up victories in the 200 (22.5 seconds) and 400 (49.63 seconds). The 4x400 team of Ryan Craft, Alex Schilling, Dustin Fickert and White won (3:29.87) and Craft won the high jump (6-2).

• Need For Speed Tippecanoe’s Sam Wharton knows what will make him better for his favored event, the 3,200.

Speed workouts throughout the season.

So after running the 1,600 at the Troy Invitational against Versailles’ state champ, Sam Prakel, the senior — who will cross country and track at Stanford University — stepped into the 800 at the Miami County Invitational to test his mettle against Covington’s Dustin Fickert.

“That last 100, he didn’t accelerate. So I just figured I’d go for it,” Wharton said. “If he had accelerated a little, I probably wouldn’t have made that move.”

And Wharton made a pass on the final stretch of the last lap, winning the race in 1:58.6. Fickert was second (1:59.33).

“I’ve been hitting some good times in the mile, and staying in that mile and even leading Sam (Prakel) at Troy helped a lot for that, too,” Wharton said. “Coming in here and running a 1:58 split in the 4x800 and then another 1:58 in the 800, that’s huge.

“It’s exciting. It gives me even more confidence for the mile. And once I bust out some more good miles, I’ll be even more ready for the twomile.”

Wharton, Mitchell Poynter, Jay Schairbaum and Grant Koch won the 4x800 (8:10.4), and the 4x200 team of Cameron Gibbs, Andy Droesch, Darius Appora and Thomas DeHays won (1:34.78) as the Red Devils were third as a team (108 points).

Bethel was fourth with 48.5, Miami East was fifth (47) and Troy Christian was sixth (41).

For full individual and team results, look in Thursday’s Troy Daily News.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 was fourth with 102.5 and Piqua rounded out the top five with a score of 51.

The team title was expected for the Trojans, which have not lost at the meet since 2008. But Huffman was the story of the day as she upset a few of her teammates for three individual titles.

Huffman (12.71 seconds) beat teammates Todda Norris (second, 12.87) and Shanelle Byrd (fourth, 13.30) for first in the 100 — breaking the 13second barrier for the first time in her career.

“I’ve never broken 13 (seconds) before,” Huffman said. “I crossed the finish line, I turned around, and I’m like ‘Alright, I just got first, that’s cool.’ But then Snyder stands up in the stands, and he says ‘Gracie, you just got 12.71.’ My mouth dropped, I mean, I couldn’t believe it. It’s pretty exciting.”

Her day continued to get better after that.

Huffman, a sophomore, was victorious in the 400, beating Ashley Rector, who made it to state in the event last season. Huffman won the event with a time of 59.70 seconds, Rector finished in a time of 1:00.67. Later in the day, Huffman won the 200, crossing the finish line in a time of 26.46 seconds.

Norris took second place once again in a time of 27.13 seconds.

Huffman set personalbest times in all three events she won.

“I hope I can keep this up,” Huffman said. “I still have two more years, and I just want to keep it up. I don’t want to stop now, you know what I mean?”

“I’ve coached here at Troy for eight years now and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an individual performance like that,” Snyder said. “To win the 400, 100 and 200, competeing against not only the tough competiton in the county, but against her teammates, shows how much she came in a year.”

Troy’s 4x200 relay team of Catelyn Schmiedebush, Ashley Rector, Huffman and Shanelle Byrd kicked off the day with a victory in a time of 1:46.37. Troy’s 4x100 relay team (Leah Michael, Schmiedebush, Byrd and Norris) cruised to victory by more than two seconds, winning in a time of 50.19 seconds.

“We’re pretty good at the 4x100 and 4x200, we always win,” Byrd said of Troy’s collective relay success. “Our first meet when

Troy’s Gracie Huffman crosses the finish line to win a relay race for Troy’s girls Tuesday at the Miami County Invitational. we got fourth (at the Tippecanoe Relays), that was horrible. That was like last place for us. We were without Todda, so that kind of messed us up a little bit.”

• Lofty Goals Covington’s Jackie Siefring and Miami East’s Leah Dunivan both have state title aspirations this season.

So it probably wasn’t a huge shock to anyone when both of them dominated their respective events at Tuesday’s Miami County Invitational since they have been doing it all season long.

Siefring swept the hurdle events, winning the 100 hurdles in a time of 15.74 seconds and 300 hurdles with a time of 47.54 seconds. She also added a victory in the long jump with a leap of 16-1.25.

In the 100 hurdles, Siefring beat Troy’s Schmiedebusch (second, 16.0 seconds) and former state-qualifier Shay

LaFollette (third, 16.9).

“Ever since I moved schools, I’m racing all these good hurdlers,” Siefring said. “They’re great girls and they’re great competitors, and I love racing them. It just brings out the best times in you.”

Siefring, who ran for Russia last season, placed seventh in the 100 hurdles and third in the 300 hurdles at the Division III last year. This year, she thinks she has a realistic chance of winning state.

“My main goal is I want to win the 300,” Siefring said. “I feel like I improved a lot from last year, and it’s a real goal. In the 100, I improved so much, it’s ridiculous. I’m just kind of seeing what happens. It’s my junior year and it’s important for colleges, so I’m just trying to put on a good show.”

Dunivan overcame tired legs from a volleyball workout earlier in the day to win two events Tuesday.

She hurled a 36-10.50 in the shot to win by over a four-foot margin. In the high jump, Dunivan outleaped Bradford’s Shay LaFollette for the title.

The Miami East senior estimated she had won around eight titles at the Miami County Invitational since her freshman year.

Last season, Dunivan finished fourth at state in high jump and sixth in the shot.

“Obviously, I want to win state, mainly high jump,” Dunivan said. “I have a lot of competition in both areas. I want to go to state in two events minimum.”

• And The Winner Is …

Covington’s Carly Shell (5:30.31) and Tara Snipes (5:32.51) went one-two in the 1,600, while Miami East’s Meredith Wesco finished third (5:50.56). Shell was actually a two-time winner on the day, coasting to victory in the 3,200 in a time of 11:59.97. In the 800, Tara Snipes (2:24.65) edged Tipp’s Allison Sinning (2:26.92) for the title.

Tippecanoe’s 4x800 relay team consisting of Claudia Barhorst, Anna Klepinger, Emily Wolfe and Sinning cruised to victory in a time of 10:28.16.

Second in the event went to Covington, which posted a time of 10:51.82. Tipp’s 4x400 team (Sarah Janosik, Sinning, Allison Rawlins and Erica Comer) finished first (4:17.95).

Troy’s Mariah Sano cleared 9-6 in the pole vault for the win. Second place went to Miami East’s Stevee Hazel (8-6).

Covington’s Jessica Rinder won the discus (107-7) narrowly over Troy’s Jessica Blakes (107-2).

Cubs steal a victory

Streaking Indians rained out

CINCINNATI (AP) — Starting pitcher Carlos Villanueva raised his arm toward a clubhouse attendant and twisted his hand, asking him to turn down the blaring music so he could hear reporters’ questions.

At least there was music.

The Chicago Cubs blew another late lead Tuesday night, but found a way to recover. Carlos Marmol gave up the tying run in the ninth before Darwin Barney bailed him out with a homer in the 10th inning for a 4-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

For once, the Cubs could celebrate the ending of a close game.

“We’ve got music on,” Villanueva said. “That’s a good thing.”

Usually, close games end up badly for the Cubs.

They blew a two-run lead in the 13th inning of a 5-4 loss on Monday night. A day later, Villanueva turned a 2-1 lead over to the bullpen with one out in the ninth and Shin-Soo

Choo on second base.

Marmol, who lost the closer’s job after a rough first week, has pitched well in non-save appearances.

Manager Dale Sveum said before the game he’s been impressed by the performance, but wasn’t ready to make Marmol the full-time closer just yet.

Instead, he was going to go by pitcher-batter matchups to finish games.

He had one of the best ones in his favor in the ninth.

Joey Votto was 1 for 15 career against Marmol with nine strikeouts when he came to the plate. This time, he singled up the middle, scoring Choo to tie

it at 2.

“Those numbers don’t lie,” Sveum said of Votto’s struggles against Marmol.

“He got the ground ball. It’s like, ‘Really? He can’t hit it at somebody? You’re kidding me.’”

Marmol (2-1) then escaped a bases-loaded threat to keep it tied.

“The ninth inning was big,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “I’ve said that a lot of times if you don’t come all the way back, it usually doesn’t work out for you.”

The Cubs’ slumping second baseman put them in position to enjoy some postgame music.

CHICAGO (AP) — Three weeks into the season and Indians outfielder Nick Swisher can’t contain his excitement over his new team.

The veteran will have to wait another day to help Cleveland try to extend its three-game winning streak after rain postponed Tuesday night’s game against Chicago White Sox. The game was called three hours and 35 minutes before the scheduled first pitch. Starters Zach McAllister of Cleveland and Jose Quintana will be pushed back to pitch Wednesday afternoon.

Swisher, who signed with Cleveland in the offseason after four seasons with the New York Yankees, is excited about how the Indians are jelling.

“It’s just a great group of guys around here. It’s a good core of new guys that we have. And we are bringing over 15 new faces, obviously, you’re going to go one way or the other. One way meaning everyone is going to latch on together and take off, or guys are going to kind of do their own thing.”
