Commission approves historic reviews BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Two historic district reviews were approved at Wednesday’s Troy Planning Commission meeting — one for 302 W. Franklin St. and another for 206-210 W. Main St. A third recommendation, for 206 S. Market St., was tabled because materials were not provided for the meeting and the applicant was not present. A decorative wooden fence was
Obama begins campaign rallies Diving into campaign mode full-bore, President Barack Obama will headline his first reelection rallies next week, marking an important turning point in the race for the White House. The president will hit the campaign trail in back-to-back rallies May 5 in Ohio and Virginia, the Obama campaign said Wednesday. Obama carried both battleground states in the 2008 election and will likely need to win there again in November if he wants to hold on to his job. Michelle Obama, the popular first lady, was to join the president at the rallies, which will be held on the campuses of Ohio State University in Columbus and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
TROY granted for applicants/owners Jeremy and Sarah Scheerer on Franklin Street for their residential property. The fence will measure 42 inches in the front yard and reach 6 feet in the remaining area, with all Historic District character preserved. Applicant Courtview, Inc. had their proposal approved for replacing the main building roofing at 206 W. Main St. and the carport roofing
at 210 W. Main St. Samples of the dimensional asphalt shingles were shown and the color discussed before commissioners voted to approve the recommendation. The planning commission declined to make a recommendation for the proposed sign at 206 S. Market St. The applicant, Dawn Roop, had requested to re-face an existing freestanding sign. A sample of the proposed black vinyl lettering was not provided at the meeting as had been planned. Zoning inspector Shannon Brandon therefore recom-
mended tabling the applicant’s recommendation. Planning commission chairman Alan Kappers asked why a sample was needed when the planning staff already agreed that the proposed sign met regulations for the Historic District. Brandon said she didn’t feel comfortable approving the recommendation without seeing the sample. Commissioners unanimously tabled the recommendation, which can still be discussed at future meetings.

Bethel High School SADD, Miami County Sheriff’s Office, Bethel (Miami County) Township Fire Department, Miami Valley CareFlight Air and Mobile Services and Trostel, Chapman, Dunbar & Fraley Funeral Home united together to conduct a mock crash prior to the school’s prom event this Saturday.
How to use anchovies
Promoting prom safety
If anchovies gross you out, know this — compared to what people ate before there were anchovies, they’re practically cake and ice cream. Because until about the 16th century there were no anchovies as we know them today. That is, small silvery fish that are boned, salt cured and packed in oil. Instead, there was garum — the juice of salted and fermented fish guts. Garum lost favor about 500 years ago when people learned how to make anchovies.

The accident was fake, but the tears and the emotions were real. On Wednesday, Bethel High School’s Students Against Drunk Driving sponsored the “mock crash” for its students prior to the high school’s prom this Saturday at the Crystal Room in Troy. Sitting in the backseat of a Miami County Sheriff ’s Office cruiser, Bethel High School senior Whitney Lang watched as her best friend since third grade, senior Liana Carsner, was carted off in to a hearse due to a car accident which Lang had “caused.” “I’m not acting — these tears are so real. The person in the car with me is my best friend and it’s really traumatic to see her ‘dead’” said Lang, who played the “drunk driver” who caused the four-victim crash. “It’s really traumatic, it’s really reality and it’s really scary.” All Bethel High School students watched from its stadium stands as their classmates were transported by CareFlight with life-threatening injuries, or watched as Lang was arrested or as Carsner lay with a white sheet covering the body of a victim that didn’t make it. Bethel High School teacher and SADD adviser Carla Burton said the school hosts a mock crash every four years to show students the real life time frame of an accident. Two vehicles are set-up to show what a 65 mph “T-bone” accident looks like.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Newt Gingrich began taking steps Wednesday to s h u t d o w n his debtladen White House bid, setting the stage to endorse o n e t i m e GINGRICH r i v a l Mitt Romney next week and rally Republicans behind their apparent nominee. Gingrich had a friendly telephone conversation Wednesday with Romney and had started planning an event where he would throw his support behind likely nominee, the Gingrich spokesman R.C Hammond said. The pair agreed to work together to unite conservatives against President Barack Obama. “It’s clear Romney is the

Fire department volunteers to cut away a vehicle to remove the students from the wreckage. Seniors Jessie Biocourt, Lang, Steven Reeves and Carsner wrote essays to participate in the “mock crash.” Burton watched the scene unfold, wiping the tears from her eyes. “We want our students to have fun at prom, but to be safe and think about the consequences,” Burton said. Reeves played the victim who failed to use his seatbelt, resulting in broken legs and other multiple internal injuries. “There’s a lot of people who will still try to drink. Drinking and driving is something that’s so preventable,” Reeves said. “If I can be part of saving someone’s life by doing this,

I hope I helped.” Mary Lou Kyne, CareFlight Air and Mobile Unit’s injury prevention outreach coordinator, said each district tailors the mock crash scenario to its needs, such as Bethel asking for parents to be involved on Wednesday. Gail Lang, Whitney’s mother, participated in the mock-crash, arriving at the scene as her daughter was handcuffed. “This sends out a strong message of ‘It could be me or one of my friends,’” Lang said. Lang said she is anxious around prom season in terms of safety for her daughter
Student loans bill to be decided on WASHINGTON (AP) — The House will vote Friday on a Republican bill preventing interest rates on federal student loans from doubling this summer, paid for by cutting money from President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday. The abrupt announcement by Boehner, R-Ohio, came with Obama and congressional Democrats clamoring daily for action to prevent today’s 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford student loans from automatically increasing to 6.8 percent on July 1. That election-year increase, set by law unless Congress blocks it, would affect 7.4 million students at a time when both parties are competing for the affection of young voters. Each is also trying to show

A tiny piece of equipment in constant evolution Designed to elevate the ball on the tee-off, the tee has evolved considerably over the years. This simple little wooden peg has made a lot of progress and still remains an important accessory for golfers. The time is long gone when players used a pile of sand to elevate the ball! The arrival of the wooden tee not only allowed golfers to improve their drives but also to avoid damaging the grass on the tee-offs. Tees have become much more sophisticated over the years. These days they are made mainly from variously coloured wood or plastic. Some golfers prefer the traditional wooden tees for their effectiveness, while others will opt for those made in plastic because of their greater durability. Large manufacturers of golf equipment are constantly searching for improvements and a wide variety of tees are now available on the market. One option is the wooden tee in two colours and varying lengths, while the range of plastic tees is more elaborate. Apart from conventional tees it is also possible to obtain “zero friction” tees, where the ball is placed on three small supports. There are also oversized “brush”

tees that reduce the rotation of the ball and tees of adjustable heights. Biodegradable tees made of bamboo are also available in specialized stores. It’s hard to believe that one of the smallest and most useful accessories continues to help golfers improve their game!
Approach shots make all the difference Getting to the green on par (one shot for a par 3, two for a par 4, and three for a par 5) is not an easy thing to achieve for the average golfer. Even the best professional players manage to maintain a 70 percent success rate with difficulty. That is why it is so important to get good results from your approach shots. Any expert will tell you that the game around the green is one of the most important, if not the most important element of your golf game. Well-executed approach shots can help you play on par or reduce your score by the end of the round. In a radius of 25 to 35 metres from the green, the choice of club should take into ac-
1
count the presence or absence of obstacles, the slope of the green, and the position of the flag. If your ball is positioned right behind a sand trap you will have to lob the ball and limit its roll. A pitching wedge or sand wedge would be appropriate for this type of shot. The fluidity of the swing and the position (a little closer to the ball with a swinging movement) are the two elements needed for a successful shot. Before hitting the ball, be sure to visualize the spot where you want the ball to land. If no obstacle is present, use the club which you are most comfortable with. Near the green, a short swing with a 4 or 5 iron will enable you to roll the ball near the target. Be particularly careful to avoid a hesitant swing and plan to spend some time on the practice range in order to work on your “short” game. This is guaranteed to have a positive effect on your score card.
Golf is a great sport for spending an enjoyable day with all the family.
Playing golf with the family What could be better than spending an enjoyable day on the golf course with the people you love? That’s right! Golf is one of the most popular sports for socializing, relaxing, issuing challenges, and getting lots of fresh air, all at the same time! The time is long gone when golf clubs were the privileged domain of business men and off limits to women! Today, more and more golf clubs offer various packages so that all the members of a family have access to their courses. Many clubs offer annual memberships to couples or families, allowing parents to plan regular rounds of golf with their children. As well as the pleasure of sharing the same passion, golf allows families to spend quality time together. If the members of your family aren’t all at the same level, playing at an executive golf course (par 3 and 4) will provide a good initiation for beginners and a different challenge to the more experienced. To add a competitive element to a family round, why not change partners from time to time, forming fatherdaughter, mother-son teams, etc. A great idea for your next family vacation is to find a destination where you can enjoy the pleasures of golf together. Travel specialists will be able to advise you about foreign travel packages or holiday resorts which specialize in golf and family activities. 2277736

The game on the green represents about a third of the score.
Golf is a complex game. As well as having to master techniques, golfers must also be able to control their emotions. It’s all true that there is plenty to enjoy in the fresh air and social aspects of the game, but players must also realize that golf is a sport in which the mind plays a vital role. Experts will tell you that golfers spend an average of 90 percent of their time on the golf course thinking and 10 percent swinging and hitting the ball. This is why it’s so important to make the right decisions. Whether you’re a regular, occasional, or professional golfer, the object of the game stays the same. Apart from mastering techniques, golf requires concentration and will power. A good balance between discipline, the control of movements, and the psychological aspects of the game will add to your enjoyment and lead to success in this demanding sport. The first thing to realize is that you are, above all, playing for yourself and not for your partners. Set your objectives and give yourself the means of reaching them. Appreciate your good shots and learn to accept the poor ones. Did you miss a shot because you lifted your

head or because your shoulders weren’t in the right position? Tell yourself that this lack of concentration is behind you. In other words don’t dwell on the past, continually thinking about the reasons for missing the shot, as this could well
haunt you for the rest of the round. Success in golf largely depends on your ability to concentrate, to master the techniques of visualization, of positive thinking, and self-confidence. In other words, you are the master of your own destiny!

Romney moves to coordinate campaign Nabs nomination, moves foward with GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — A day after claiming the title of Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney moved aggressively Wednesday to coordinate with the Republican National Committee to intensify his fight against President Barack Obama. One-time bitter GOP rivals looked to be coalescing behind the former Massachusetts governor. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus marked the transition Wednesday by proclaiming Romney the party’s “presumptive nominee.” Romney’s campaign also appointed several senior staff members to work on an informal takeover of the committee’s national infrastructure. “We will ensure that our finance, political and communications teams are fully synchronized,” Priebus said. “I am excited that these two top-notch operations will start to
integrate and present a unified team to defeat Barack Obama.” At the same time, fading Republican contender Newt Gingrich signaled that he would likely follow Rick Santorum out of the race and called on the GOP to unite behind Romney. Aides confirmed that Gingrich will leave the race next week and said he was likely to endorse his one-time rival. The dramatically shifting landscape comes as Romney refocuses his efforts on challenging Obama, raising money for the battle ahead and reconciling with a divided Republican Party. “Tonight is the start of a new campaign,” Romney said Tuesday night as he celebrated a sweep of five primaries. He blasted Obama as a man whose tenure has been marked by “false promises and weak

Prom • CONTINUED FROM A1 and her fellow classmates. “The nice thing is the parents and school put on a nice After Prom for the kids and they lock them in and let us know if they didn’t arrive on time,” Lang said of the options after the dance. Miami County Sheriff’s Office school resource officer Eric Harnish said mock crash simulations are helpful reminders to students to use good judgement not only during prom season, but every day. “The students get the full affect and you see the emo-
tion in some of these faces out here today — of both students and staff — and it shows that,” Harnish said. “It goes to show your time is spent well.” “We are very fortunate to have several proactive events such as After Prom to give them something to do in their idle time, although granted, you do still have some that do still chose to drink,” Harnish said. Harnish also said other mock-crash simulations will take place at Bradford High School and Covington High School later this week.

leadership” in a time of economic struggle. The contests were the first since Santorum conceded the race, and the former Pennsylvania senator said he intended to sit down with Romney’s representatives on Wednesday and with Romney himself in the next week or two. “Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee,” Santorum told CNN, “and I’m going to support the nominee.” Romney was attending fundraisers Wednesday and Thursday to prepare for what may be the most expensive presidential contest in the history of American politics. He exuded confidence Tuesday night, but faces a 10-to-1 cash disadvantage in a general election matchup against the Democratic president. Romney has at least six closed-

• CONTINUED FROM A1 nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama. We should not focus on defeating ourselves,” Gingrich told disappointed supporters in Kings Mountain, N.C., the morning after Romney tightened his grip on the nomination by sweeping primary contests in five states. Gingrich also telephoned Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and supporters, such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in states with upcoming primaries to inform them of the decision he had been hinting at for days. Gingrich had been under pressure for some time to leave the race and clear a path for Romney. “You have to at some point be honest about what’s happening in the real world as opposed to what you would like to have happened,” he told supporters at a suburban Charlotte, N.C., restaurant. Gingrich declined to comment when asked about his plans multiple times during the Kings Mountain stop. “There are times when the mountain gets bigger than your ability to climb it,” he said.
• CONTINUED FROM A1 voters that it knows best how to shield people from pain inflicted by the weak economy. Boehner told reporters that Obama has been “trying to invent a fight where there wasn’t and never has been one” and said, “We can and will fix the problem without a bunch of campaign-style theatrics.” He added, “What Washington shouldn’t be doing is exploiting the challenges that young Americans

The White House acknowledged that the contest had come down to Obama and Romney. “There seems to be a general acknowledgment that the process has moved to that stage,” press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with the president. As the White House ratchets up its focus on Romney, Gingrich will shift to helping Republican candidates across the country, paying off more than $4.3 million in campaign debt and rebuilding his reputation among conservatives. Gingrich’s campaign tested conventional wisdom from the beginning. Could the 68-year-old grandfather — a politically divisive figure shamed by an ethics probe and subsequent reprimand, pushed out of congressional leadership and saddled with marital scandal — find acceptance among cultural conservatives? His campaign was full of contradictions. He pointed to his 20 years as a congressman from Georgia, including four as House speaker, and claimed a political kinship with President Ronald Reagan. Yet he also contended to be an outsider and anti-establishment candidate.

door fundraisers in two days in New York New and Jersey. They may be among his final private meetings with donors, according to campaign officials who confirmed that ROMNEY Romney would begin opening some finance events to reporters as early as next week. The officials requested anonymity to discuss internal decisions. The move would follow an embarrassing episode in which reporters outside a closed fundraiser in Palm Beach, Fla., overheard Romney sharing previously undisclosed details about his tax plan. Romney has faced growing calls for transparency in his role as the GOP’s likely candidate.

face for political gain.” Republicans would pay for their one-year, $5.9 billion measure from a $17 billion prevention and public health fund Obama’s law created for immunization campaigns, research, screenings and wellness education. Republicans promptly dubbed it a “slush fund” and have sought to cut it to finance a variety of projects that they favor. There is $13.5 billion left in the fund for the coming decade, according to the administration. Senate Democrats have introduced their own version of the legislation. It, too, would keep student loan interest rates at 3.4 percent for another year. It would be paid for by increasing the Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes owed by upperincome owners of some privately held corporations, including many lawyers’ and doctors’ practices. Senate Republicans have voiced adamant opposition to
that payroll tax proposal. Earlier Wednesday, Obama spoke to students at the University of Iowa, using his third campus visit in two days to talk up Democrats’ efforts to keep student loans affordable and bash Republicans. “Some of them suggest that students like you have to pay more so we can help bring down the deficit. Now, think about that. These are the same folks who ran up the deficits for the last decade. They voted to keep giving billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies to big oil companies who are raking in record profits. They voted to let millionaires and billionaires keep paying lower tax rates than middle-class workers,” Obama said. Speaking before Boehner’s remarks, Obama said House Republicans were indicating that they would only extend the rate by cutting other student aid, a path the GOP did not follow.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Albany (Ga.) Herald on North Korea’s rocket launch: Maybe it was intended to be a show of farce instead? The botched launching of a long-range rocket wasn’t exactly the show of strength that the third generation of North Korean dictators wanted to mark the 100th year of his family’s regime. But it may have been the most appropriate one for a government that’s done little more than repress its people and drive them into economic hardship over the past century. The satellite launch by Pyongyang from North Korea’s west coast fizzled in spectacular fashion, as young dictator Kim Jong Un watched $1 billion worth of hope disintegrate over the Yellow Sea. The failure of the launch, which the North Korean government had bragged would demonstrate its power, was such a big issue that even Pyongyang officials had to admit it publicly — albeit four hours later, long after the United States and South Korea had broken the news. So, what did North Korea get for its ill-planned party fireworks? It got hungrier.

Observer blishing.com. on Obama’s energy policy: ■ Please Wouldn’t that be nice if Vice President Joe include your full Biden were telling the truth. He isn’t, however, name and teleand he knows it. phone number. During an interview this month, Biden accused Republicans in Congress of blocking progress in alternative energy such as wind and solar power. “They’re emasculating all the efforts to deal with renewable energy,” Biden claimed. “Green” technology will be a key to President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, Biden added. More investment in alternatives is necessary, he maintained. Again, it would be nice if conservatives of both parties in Congress were as effective as Biden charges in holding down federal spending for “alternatives.” But any restraint they may be able to force on the White House amounts to no more than raising an umbrella to ward off a hurricane. During the Obama administration, billions of dollars have been spent on renewables and energy conservation campaigns. The infamous “Recovery Act” alone allotted more than $16 billion for the purpose. Need we remind Biden of boondoggles such as the $500 million poured into Solyndra, the California solar power company? As has been pointed out, that loss alone amounted to about twice what Obama wants to spend on all research involving fossil fuels. No, Biden isn’t being candid — as usual. Once more he is using the “big lie” strategy in an attempt to smear anyone who questions Obama’s massively wasteful, counterproductive energy policy. Like the little boy who cried “wolf,” however, Biden has lost all credibility with Americans.

DOONESBURY
Sometimes avoiding work is the hardest work of all This past Saturday, my wife asked me the question that all men, I feel, will come to face at some point in their marriages. “Who do you love more, me or Urban Meyer?” she asked. “Well,” I relied, “he was won two national titles …” “OK, let me put it another way,” she said. “Who do you fear more, me or Urban Meyer?” And that’s how, while the first spring game in Urban Meyer’s career as head football coach at Ohio State was going on, I ended up at my house, doing chores in preparation for my daughter’s First Communion reception the next day. While everyone else was in Columbus having the time of their lives, I was knee deep in a chore list given to me by my beautiful wife. I learned throwing a party for my entire family isn’t easy. There were lawns to be mowed, rooms to be dusted, carpets to be cleaned and laundry to be folded and put away. It was arduous, back-breaking labor. And I was forced to spend my entire Saturday avoiding all of it.
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor The key to doing chores, I’ve found, is to make every single task seem far more monumental — and a whole lot more lengthy — than it truly is. For example, my wife has never mowed the lawn — and truth be told, I’d prefer to keep it that way. When she approached me early Saturday morning with her lengthy to-do list, I immediately said, “Well, I’ll bite the bullet and mow the lawn.” “Great,” she said, thinking she had just managed to avoid the worst chore on the list. “The grass is kind of high — it’s probably going to take me a few hours to mow it,” I said forlornly. “Have fun with that,” she said.
— Amy Sparks Troy
Since my wife has never touched our lawnmower, she doesn’t realize it’s a high-powered, self-propelled piece of machinery that’s probably capable of mowing my entire neighborhood in just under two hours. So while my wife was inside vacuuming the carpets and dusting the family room, I was outside sitting in a lawn chair — just out of sight from any of our windows — playing “Angry Birds” on my cellphone. I ended up mowing the lawn in just under 30 minutes. Then I picked up the trimmings and rubbed them all over my hands and face. Finally, I went to the faucet outside and wet down my shirt to give the appearance I had been sweating the past two hours. It bears mentioning I probably could have mowed my lawn with a pair of fingernail clippers in two hours. Much of the rest of the day was spent like that. She’d give me a chore, I’d figure out a way to spread it out just as long as I possibly could before moving on to the next chore. When she told me to put away the laundry she
had cleaned and folded while I was “mowing the lawn,” I locked the bedroom door, stuffed three baskets of clothes into two drawers and took a little nap. When she asked me to run to the store to pick up the cookies and cupcakes she had ordered, I spent two hours looking through the magazine section, then went home and complained about how bad the traffic was. In Troy. At 3 p.m. On a Saturday. For two hours. And so our Saturday went — my wife doing actual work, me doing everything I possibly could to avoid doing work. Fortunately for all parties involved, the house eventually got cleaned. Fortunately, there’s no such thing as a “Second Communion” party, because I’m not sure I could handle such a thing. Avoiding work, as it turns out, is awfully hard work. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. This column was inspired by Matt and Kirk, who were able to watch the Ohio State spring game.

Suspects sought in barn break-ins Cords, welding cables targeted by thieves BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Several barn break-ins around the Brown and Lostcreek Townships occurred last weekend as thieves targeted electrical extension cord and welding cables. The thefts were made in the early morning hours of April 22, according to the sheriff’s office. Miami County Sheriff Office’s Chief Deputy David Duchak said all outdoor buildings should be locked and secure.
MIAMI COUNTY The thefts of these items are to obtain the copper inside of the cords and cables to sell as scrap metal for cash, according to Duchak. According to reports, the thefts occurred in the 6200 block of LostcreekShelby Road, 7900 block of Loy Road and 8200 block of Peterson Road. All reports stated welding cables and extension cords were the only items missing from the properties. One resident reported hearing a dog bark at 3 a.m. and saw a truck down the road which happened to flash its lights. The next morning the items were reportedly missing from the barn. Residents who have any information about these incidents are asked to contact the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, or call 9-1-1 if you see suspicious activity.

Use rhubarb to make delicious juice We attended the wedding on Thursday of Matthew and Leanna. Daughter Elizabeth and her friend Timothy were witnesses at the wedding. Matthew is a brother to Timothy. The bride chose the color navy that the two girl witnesses and herself wore along with a white cape and apron. In this community the bride gets married wearing a black head covering and after she is married she switches to white and will never wear a black covering again. At Amish weddings there are usually two couples that are witnesses at a wedding, one for the bride and one for the groom. Usually it is a brother or sister or close friend of the bride and groom. Services start about 9 a.m. and usually the couples are married by 11:30 a.m. or noon. Afterward a big dinner is served to all the guests. The menu on Thursday was mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dressing, poor man’s steak, cabbage salad, homemade bread, butter and jam, a variety

They had my sisters Susan and Verena with them. They had been to one of Levi’s brothers in this community for dinner. They bought a covered buggy from him at an auction. Levi was taking the buggy back home to Berne, Indiana. They will sell their open buggy, which they bought from us when we moved to Michigan, and use the covered one from now on. I am sure they will like it a lot better in the cold winter months and when it rains. The community in Berne has open buggies but now several churches are allowing covered buggies. When we lived in Berne we had to drive in open buggies. I thought I would have a hard time getting used to a covered buggy. Now I think I would have to get used to driving in the open

Some people in this community have small propane heaters in their buggies but we still do not have one. Today after the laundry is done we plan to can some rhubarb juice.

In this Aug. 1, photo, cans of anchovies sit next to flatbread pizza with anchovy oil in Concord, N.H.
Anchovies: What they are and how to use them (AP) — If anchovies gross you out, know this — compared to what people ate before there were anchovies, they’re practically cake and ice cream. Because until about the 16th century there were no anchovies as we know them today. That is, small silvery fish that are boned, salt cured and packed in oil. Instead, there was garum — the juice of salted and fermented fish guts. Garum lost favor about 500 years ago when people learned how to make anchovies. Can’t imagine why. Anchovies, however, are not a singular fish. Most cuisines around the world have their own “anchovy,” most of which tend to be variants of one variety of fish, a relative of the herring. But given the ick-factor some people suffer, why eat them? Easy. They are flavor bombs that lend serious Wow! to whatever they are added to. And the good news is that the flavor they add isn’t even a little fishy. Here’s why. After months of salt curing, the dominant flavors in anchovies are from enzymes and good bacteria, not the flesh itself (of which there is little). The result is an intense blend of fatty, salty, savory, meaty, even a

sow stalls, at least, it’s increasingly apparent that you will lose the battle.” HSUS has been pushing for more than a decade for large-scale purchasers of animal products to ensure that they are raised humanely. The organization owns stock in 52 companies that use animal products so that it can attend shareholder meetings and submit proposals for improved animal welfare policy. It also has used undercover operations to show the conditions some food animals endure. Conventionally raised eggs come from hens confined in battery cages that give them roughly the same footprint as a sheet of standard notebook paper. Most pork comes from sows that are confined during their four-month pregnancies in narrow crates. “For every cage-free egg or piece of bacon from a gestation-free pork system that Burger King sells, animals have been spared lifelong confinement in a cage so small they can barely even move,” said Matthew Prescott, the HSUS food policy director. In 2007, Burger King became the first major fast-food restaurant chain to incorporate animal welfare issues into its purchasing policies when it began sourcing at least some of its pork and eggs from cagefree suppliers. The hens are still housed in a barn, but they have room to roam, and perches and nesting boxes. While some companies have been responding to consumer demand by incorporating some percentages of cage-free eggs into their purchase orders, the landslide passage by voters in 2008 of California’s Proposition 2, which will ban chicken cages and gestation crates by 2015, caused buyers and suppliers nationwide to take notice. Since then, studies have shown that shoppers are willing to pay more for products they believe are produced to higher animal protection standards.

The movement by U.S. food corporations toward more humane treatment of animals experienced a whopper of a shift Wednesday when Burger King announced that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017. The decision by the world’s secondbiggest fast-food restaurant raises the bar for other companies seeking to appeal to the rising consumer demand for more humanely produced fare. “So many tens of thousands of animals will now be in better living conditions,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, which has been pushing Burger King and other corporations to consider animal welfare in purchasing policies. “Numerically this is significant because Burger King is such a big purchaser of these products.” The decision by Burger King, which uses hundreds of millions of eggs and tens of millions of pounds of pork annually, could represent a game-change in the egg and pork supply business as a huge new market has opened up for humanely raised food animals. Already 9 percent of the company’s eggs and 20 percent of its pork are cage-free. The Miami-based company steadily has been increasing its use of cage-free eggs and pork as the industry has become better able to meet demand, said Jonathan Fitzpatrick, chief brand and operations officer. He said the decision is part of the company’s social responsibility policy. “We believe this decision will allow us to leverage our purchasing power to ensure the appropriate and proper treatment of animals by our vendors and suppliers,” he said. Earlier this year, McDonalds and Wendy’s announced that they have asked their pork suppliers to outline their plans for elimination of gestation crates without setting a timetable. The issue of the treatment of pigs raised for pork has recently developed. This year, Smithfield Farms and Hormel committed to ending the use of gestation crates by 2017. “This is an issue that just four to five months ago was not on the food industry’s radar,” said Paul Shapiro, vice president for farm animal protection at the humane society. “Now it’s firmly cemented into the mainstream in a way that I think few people would have imagined.” Last month, the pork industry’s trade magazine editorialized for an end to the practice saying “on the issue of gestation-

Dear Annie: A year ago, I fell in love with "Bobby" over the Internet. Two months later, he said he loved me. I was stunned. But a little later, he told me he was in a relationship and the girl was suicidal. He was afraid that if he broke it off, she'd kill herself. I've had suicidal thoughts myself and understood. Bobby sent me wonderful messages that made me feel terrific. I was happier than ever, even though he was terribly depressed about his situation. We made a promise that as long as we had each other, we wouldn't kill ourselves. After a while, I lost all desire to hurt myself. He gave me a reason to live. But, Annie, sometimes Bobby acts like a player. He flirts with other women. When I get upset, he always apologizes. I checked his online profile and saw messages to and from his current girlfriend. In one, he told her he "wasn't ready to let go of her and was sorry they broke up." He never told me they weren't together anymore. I posted a message, too, giving him a piece of my mind. But since he's been suicidal, I worry about him and frequently check to make sure he's been online and is OK. Whenever people say something mean about him, I always defend him. The truth is, I still love him, but I'm afraid to talk to him again. Do you think there's any hope for the two of us, or is this just another book in my life that I have to close? — Desperate for Answers In Michigan Dear Michigan: Close the book and throw it away. Bobby is not honest, and any relationship with him would eventually involve misery for you. We think you know this. We're glad you no longer have suicidal thoughts, but if they should return, please get some counseling and talk to someone who can truly help you. You should never rely on another person for your happiness. Dear Annie: My two siblings and I are planning a family vacation that will include renting a house. They each have kids who still live at home and will be coming along. One sibling is spending a lot of money just to travel to us. My husband absolutely refuses to pay for one-third the cost of the house, since we only require one bedroom and they require more. But if we divide it by the number of bedrooms, one family will end up paying almost half of the cost of the entire place. And if we divide it by the number of people, the family already paying the most to travel here will be paying the most for the house, as well. And that sibling has always been very generous with me. I am upset with my husband, and now my siblings are upset with me. What is fair? — No Good Solution for this Arithmetic Problem Dear Solution: Your husband's position is not unreasonable. The more people who use the premises the more it costs to run the place and supply the food. Unless those who spend less money to get there want to subsidize the others, it would be fair to discuss this with everyone and work out a solution together. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Mom in Connecticut," who asked about emailing thank-you notes. Few children would be eager to handwrite a thank-you note, but I have the solution. When my children were young, they were not permitted to enjoy the gift (spend the money, watch the DVD, play with the toy, etc.) until a handwritten thank-you was ready to be mailed. Now I don't have to remind them, as they know it is expected of them. — Mom in Pennsylvania Dear Mom: We wish more parents were as conscientious as you. It would help with a lot of problems — not only thank-you notes. 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
Be careful when serving wine in lead-crystal decanters Dear Heloise: In a recent letter, a reader inquired about removing wine residue from a lead-crystal decanter. Please do your readers a service and warn them about a medical directive stating that wine should never be stored in lead crystal, as lead can and will leach into the wine. In addition, pregnant women are advised against drinking anything from lead crystal. — Barbara C., Scotch Plains, N.J. Barbara, yes, you are right. The Food and Drug Administration advises that lead can leach into wine if stored for a long time in the decanter.
Hints from Heloise Columnist However, it’s OK to use this type of decanter for serving wine right away. Additionally, the FDA recommends that all lead crystal should be used with caution, especially with children and women of childbearing age — they should use lead-free crystal, if possible. None of this information is
currently on the FDA website. However, it is available when you call the FDA (888-4636332). — Heloise P.S.: Many people call all crystal “lead crystal” when it is not. LIPSTICK APPLICATIONS Dear Readers: Have you ever wondered how many times you can apply lipstick from a single, standard tube? Manufacturers say that a tube of lipstick has approximately 260 applications — that equals about three months’ worth (if you apply lipstick three times a day). Lipstick has a shelf life of one to two years. However, if it
looks, smells or tastes funny, that is an indication that the lipstick needs to be disposed of. How many tubes of lipstick do you have? We would love to hear from you. We will randomly choose five readers who will receive a set of Heloise pamphlets. Send in your “number” to: Heloise(at)Heloise.com; mail to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279; or fax to: 210-HELOISE (435-6473). — Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www.Heloise.com, for links to my Facebook and Twitter pages — hints, fun facts and more! Come see photos and check out what’s happening.

HOROSCOPE Thursday, April 26, 2012 If the year ahead appears to be a bit topsy-turvy, it will be because endeavors that you think would be big winners aren’t apt to pan out, while the notions that you deem duds will produce some impressive rewards. Take what you can get and run with it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your inability to properly evaluate information that is essential to your plans could be due to not having all the necessary information at your disposal. Don’t try to make a call without all the facts. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Disappointment is likely if you build your expectations upon questionable premises. It’s good to be optimistic, but only if you’re also in touch with reality. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you want others to accept you and treat you nicely, you must first reach out to them. Keep being warm and friendly, even when you get the cold shoulder. Eventually they’ll come around. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The only person you have to genuinely please is you. If you think you’ve done your best to be warm and giving, you don’t need any additional applause. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Be careful not to commit any selfish acts or act indifferently to someone who is nice to you. If you do so, it will be quite a while before you can look at yourself in the mirror again. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be observant, because someone you recently met might not be everything that he or she pretends to be. When this person has to perform under pressure, this will become apparent to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Should a friend come to you for advice, instead of telling your pal what you think she or he wants to hear, tell the truth. Be kind about it, and you’ll do a world of good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your ability to recognize a real bargain might not be operating very well. If something is expensive, sleep on it for a while before committing a sizable chunk of change. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Something might arise that could force you to choose between feathering your own nest or helping out a friend, partner or loved one. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be extremely selective of your choice of companions, because what they do will reflect on you for either good or ill. Don’t gain a bad reputation based on your friends. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You could find yourself involved in a social event where everybody but you knows one another, leaving you feeling like an outsider. If you can, take a friend along. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your personal ambitions and your abilities might not complement one another. It’s OK to want certain things but only if you have the ability to get what you desire.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, April 26, the 117th day of 2012. There are 249 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 26, 1937, German and Italian warplanes raided the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, resulting in widespread destruction estimates of the number of people killed vary greatly, from the hundreds to the thousands. (The raid inspired Pablo Picasso’s
famous antiwar painting, “Guernica.”) On this date: • In 1607, English colonists went ashore at present-day Cape Henry, Va., on an expedition to establish the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere. • In 1785, American naturalist, hunter and artist John James Audubon was born in present-day Haiti. • In 1865, John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President
Abraham Lincoln, was surrounded by federal troops near Port Royal, Va., and killed. (As he lay dying, Booth looked at his hands and gasped, “Useless, useless.”) • In 1909, Abdul Hamid II was deposed as sultan of the Ottoman Empire. • Today’s Birthdays: Actress-comedian Carol Burnett is 79. Rhythm-and-blues singer Maurice Williams is 74. Songwriter-musician Duane Eddy is 74.
Obama to kick off campaign rallies in Ohio, Virginia WASHINGTON (AP) — Diving into campaign mode full-bore, President Barack Obama will headline his first re-election rallies next week, marking an important turning point in the race for the White House. The president will hit the campaign trail in backto-back rallies May 5 in Ohio and Virginia, the Obama campaign said Wednesday. Obama carried both battleground states in the 2008 election and will likely need to win there again in November if he wants to hold on to his job. Michelle Obama, the popular first lady, was to join the president at the rallies, which will be held on the campuses of Ohio State University in Columbus and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. With Mitt Romney now assured of the Republican Party’s nomination, Obama couldn’t afford to stand off to the sidelines much longer in what is shaping up to be a close contest. Even the White House, which has been loath to engage fully in the election as it seeks to project a focus on the day-to-day business of governing, acknowledged Wednesday that the general election was in fullswing. White House spokesman Jay Carney, referring to the GOP contest, declared that “the race is over on that side. For Obama, the campaign rallies could serve as a way to energize his base, especially the young voters

President Barack Obama speaks at the University of Iowa, Wednesday, April 25, in Iowa City, Iowa. on the campuses where the events will be held. But they also break down the barrier the White House has tried to maintain between the president and the political bickering on the campaign trail. That barrier has been thin at best. Obama has for months been wooing donors at campaign fundraisers across the country, building up a sizeable money advantage over Romney. And Obama’s official events have often had a campaign vibe, with Air Force One landing in swing state after swing state and crowds breaking into chants of “four more years.” Campaign officials made clear that Obama planned to try to poke holes in what Romney sees as his great-
est strength, his record as a job-creator as both a private sector business leader and governor of Massachusetts. But David Axelrod, the campaign’s senior adviser, said the president’s message would not differ greatly on the campaign trail from what he has been saying at official events, as he seeks to draw a contrast between his vision for the nation’s economic future and that of the Republican Party. “We’re not the candidate who reinvents himself week to week,” Axelrod,

dinging Romney for what the Obama team says is a tendency to flip-flop between the most politically expedient position. Yet on the campaign trail, Obama is likely to feel more unencumbered in his attacks on Romney. At the White House and in other official events, Obama has often sought to draw a contrast with his Republican opponent without uttering his name. Romney has maintained a laser-like focus on Obama for several weeks. On Tuesday, he outlined more

of his general-election pitch to voters, urging all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.” News of Obama’s first campaign rallies followed word from the Republican National Committee that it had filed a formal complaint with the Government Accountability Office requesting an investigation into whether Obama was using taxpayer money to fund travel that benefitted his re-election campaign. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that Obama’s campaign “has been cheating the American taxpayer by using taxpayer dollars to fund their general election efforts.” For the president, much of the difference between “official” events and “campaign” events boils down to who pays for the cost of
holding the event and which staffers are in charge of overseeing them. But those technical differences often make little difference to those in the crowd — or to Obama himself. The president looked every bit the campaigner this week during official events on college campuses in North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa, all politically important states. While the events were officially pegged to Obama’s call for Congress to freeze the interest rates on federal student loans, the policy pitch was but a platform for a larger campaign goal: courting student voters, whose enthusiasm he will need in the November election. Before his speech, and in front of TV cameras and photographers, Obama sat down with five Iowa students to hear about their career dreams and debt burdens.

Nerves building for NFL draftees Andrew Luck knows exactly where he’s heading, and so does Robert Griffin III. For the rest of the college stars preparing for the NFL draft tonight, the anxiety is building. Nobody is looking forward to the green room at Radio City Music Hall. “It kind of made me a little nervous when we were talking to the commissioner and he said, ‘You’ll be back there for an hour and it’ll feel like you’ve been back there for five days,’” Southern California tackle Matt Kalil said. See Page 18.

Troy’s Ian Nadolny slides into a base during a game against Butler earlier this season at Market Sreet Field. The Trojans swept the Aviators, setting up a two-game series against Piqua on Monday and Tuesday that will decide the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division champion.
Down the stretch Troy coach Ty Welker pays close attention to how his team performs during practice leading up to key stretches. “The practices we’ve had have seemed to set the pace for how we’ve done each week,” Welker said. “Before the Greenville series, we didn’t have a very good practice. But before Butler, we were really sharp and focused and had a great practice.” And with the biggest five games of the season coming up in the next six days, Welker was extra attentive Wednesday.
TROY Troy has three games beginning today, each with a little special flavor — but none as big as Monday and Tuesday’s twogame series with the rival Piqua Indians, two games that will decide the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division champion. “The good news is tonight we had a really good practice,” Welker said with a chuckle. “We schedule Piqua at the end of each season always assuming or hoping they’ll mean something extra special.” And with all of the storylines that typically accompany Troy-
TIPP CITY
Piqua matchups, the GWOC North title thrown into the mix is extra special indeed. “Butler has dominated the league for the last 20 years,” Welker said. “Piqua won it when it was the GMVC in 1994 and 95, but the last time Troy won the league was 1991. So technically, we haven’t won the GWOC yet.” “Every year, we focus on winning the GWOC North. And so our focus going into the year is always Butler. That’s always our motivation — we know they’re working hard, so we have to work hard.” And Troy (13-7, 6-2 GWOC
And it all began on the Internet. “At the end of last swimming season, I decided that I didn’t want to swim in college,” Subler said. “I was talking to some smaller schools for soccer, but then I noticed that my profile on berecruited.com was getting looked at by a lot of rowing coaches. “I started getting calls from some smaller schools for rowing. And then Ohio State called. I was really surprised.” In the end, four Big Ten schools — Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan and Indiana — were competing for Subler’s services on their rowing teams. In the end, though, the Hawkeyes had everything Subler was looking for. “Iowa offered me the biggest scholarship, and they offered me both a nice academic and

Lauren Subler knew she’d be a college athlete. But now that the time is here, she’s found out that there’s a catch. “I always thought I would go to school and play sports,” the Tippecanoe senior said. “I just always thought it’d be for a sport that I had played.” But Subler — a state qualifier in swimming and a key member of the Red Devils soccer team — signed a letter of intent Tuesday to go to a Big Ten school, the University of Iowa, for a sport that she wasn’t as familiar with … rowing.

Rolen leads rally Kicks off big inning in Reds win CINCINNATI (AP) — Scott Rolen’s homer started a four-run rally in the seventh inning that swept the Cincinnati Reds to a 42 victory Wednesday night, extending the San Francisco Giants’ misery at Great American Ball Park. Rolen’s first homer since July 6 ended Barry Zito’s shutout and got into the Giants’ bullpen, which let the game get away on a rain-slicked field. Clay Hensley (1-2) threw AP PHOTO wildly for an error after slipping Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, left, tries to tag as he fielded a bunt. Jeremy out San Francisco Giants’ Melky Cabrera, who stole second base, Affeldt’s wild pitch allowed the in the first inning Wednesday in Cincinnati. go-ahead run to score.
It was another miserable game for the Giants at Great American, where they’ve dropped seven straight and 12 of 16. Zito remains winless there in six starts. Jose Arredondo (2-0) had one perfect inning. Sean Marshall pitched the ninth and remained perfect in four save chances. The Reds have won five of their last six overall. Before the game, the Giants put Aubrey Huff on the 15-day disabled list while he gets treatment for an anxiety attack. Huff left the team after having a

• Softball M-U 14, Northridge 1 WEST MILTON — The last time Milton-Union and Northridge met, the Bulldogs had some slight issues offensively. They used Wednesday to show that they’ve worked those issues out. Chloe Smith hit the ball out and the Bulldogs rounded the bases at will Wednesday, pummeling the Polar Bears 14-1 to improve to 7-3 in
Southwestern Buckeye League Buckeye Division play. “Last time we played them, we struggled a bit,” Milton-Union coach Curt Schaefer said. “But the girls came out and put the bat on the ball today.” Chloe Smith finished 3 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs, while Chelsea Smith, Brittany Courtright and Monica Burke each also drove in two runs. Andrea Fetters was 2 for 2,
Christine Heisey was 2 for 3 and Kayla and Ashley Smith both doubled. Fetters made sure all of that support wasn’t spoiled, striking out seven and scattering eight hits, while the defense was flawless behind her — something Schaefer likes seeing at this point in the season. “Andrea pitched a good game, and we played good defense with no errors,” Schaefer said. “That’s
something we’re going to need for tournament time.” Which is just around the corner. For now, Milton-Union continues the regular season Saturday at the Reading Charity Tournament.

A brief appearance
BCS officials narrow choices
Injured Irving plays limited time in Cavs’ home finale CLEVELAND (AP) — At the end of a wild season, the Washington Wizards found peace. It may have taken firing a coach and making a major trade to get them there, but the Wizards are winning the way they once did. John Wall scored 21 points and added 13 assists as the Wizards extended their longest winning streak since 2007 to five games with a 96-85 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Wall had 12 points, six assists and four steals in the third quarter, when he accounted for 24 of Washington’s 28 points and helped the Wizards open a 14-point lead. He added seven rebounds and seven steals for the Wizards, whose erratic play got coach Flip Saunders fired on Jan. 24. In March, the team traded center JaVale McGee and guard Nick Young and wound up with center Nene. Those moves and a few other tweaks to the roster have the Wizards finally feeling good about their future. “Everybody plays good and plays hard,” Wall said. “Nobody worries about how many points you’re going to score. You can tell the whole group is having a lot more fun.” While Washington’s star guard put on a show, Cleveland’s watched. Kyrie Irving, expected to be named the NBA’s rookie of the year next month, played only 10 minutes all in the first quarter of the Cavs’ home finale. He scored just five points and may have gotten his biggest assist afterward when he and his teammates lined up near midcourt and handed over their game-worn jerseys to fans. D.J. Kennedy led Cleveland with 12 points in his NBA debut. Wizards rookie forward Jan Vesely had a seasonhigh 12 rebounds and Kevin Seraphin scored 12. Washington is finishing a disappointing season with an unexpected flourish. “It’s a positive thing for
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — When Bowl Championship Series officials leave the beachside hotel in which they’ve gathered to hammer out the future of college football’s postseason, they want to have the choices whittled down to two or three. The guys in charge met Wednesday for about eight hours to discuss overhauling how a champion is determined and possibly implementing a four-team playoff. It is the fourth such get together this year, and they agreed it’s time to start narrowing the field. They will reconvene Thursday and BCS executive director Bill Hancock said the 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director would like to have it down to a few clear choices. “I think that’s what everyone wants to do. Get down to two maybe three,” Hancock said. “I think we’re making good progress on that. I think we’re going to make it.” One thing is clear: “The status quo is off the table,” Hancock said. Though he cautiously added they have not ruled out making over
the current system that guarantees only a No. 1 vs. No. 2 championship game. But all signs point toward that being unlikely, and that by the 2014 season the BCS as fans have known it will be gone. “I would say there is an expectation that there will be significant change,” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. Delany and his fellow commissioners arrived in south Florida with four options to discuss, but much of the focus has been on a four-team playoff with two national semifinals and a title game. That model comes with many variables, such as where the games will be played, how the teams will be picked and how the bowls fit in if they do at all. The role of the bowls represents a potential obstacle. Specifically, the Rose Bowl. On Tuesday, bowl executives from the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta and Rose met with the conference commissioners to give their input and answer some questions about how their games could work in a new postseason system.

Caps oust Bruins in OT BOSTON (AP) — Joel Ward slammed home a rebound at 2:57 of overtime to give Washington a 2-1 victory over Boston on Wednesday night, sending the Capitals to the second round of the playoffs and ending the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins’ hopes of a repeat. Rookie Braden Holtby stopped 31 shots for Washington in Game 7 the seventh one-goal game of the series. Matt Hendricks scored the Capitals’ other goal. Tyler Seguin scored, and Tim Thomas made 26 saves for Boston. It was the first time in NHL history that a playoff series had seven games determined by one goal. Four of the games went to
overtime. Hendricks scored midway through the first period, and Seguin tied it in the second. It stayed that way through a scoreless third, with Washington killing off a penalty in the final 3 minutes to send the game into overtime. Patrice Bergeron had a chance to win it in the first minute of the extra period, but he couldn’t get off a solid shot from Holtby’s right. Two minutes later, the Capitals broke into the Boston zone with former Bruin Mike Knuble leading a 2on-1. Knuble shot, and Thomas left the rebound out where Ward could reach it with his backhander.

Anxiety building for all except Luck, RGIII NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Luck knows exactly where he’s heading, and so does Robert Griffin III. For the rest of the college stars preparing for the NFL draft tonight, the anxiety is building. Nobody is looking forward to the green room at Radio City Music Hall. “It kind of made me a little nervous when we were talking to the commissioner and he said, ‘You’ll be back there for an hour and it’ll feel like you’ve been back there for five days,’” Southern California tackle Matt Kalil said. “I’ll be sweatin’ up a storm back there, and I want to have my name called and not have to wait too long.” He shouldn’t have to worry much about that. Most mock drafts project Kalil to go third overall to
Minnesota after Luck heads to Indianapolis and Griffin to Washington. But he knows better than to put much stock in the predraft chatter. “I stopped paying attention to all of that stuff,” said Kalil, attending an NFL event at a playground in Manhattan. “No one really has a clue. Unless you’re the GM of a team, you don’t really know who a team is going to pick, so you just let it all play out.” That’s the approach for the nearly two dozen other players who’ll be at Radio City and have no idea when they might walk onto the stage, shake Commissioner Roger Goodell’s hand and hold up the jersey of the team with which they’ll start their professional career.
“For Luck and RGIII, they know what’s going on and they know where they’re going to live and all that kind of stuff,” Alabama safety Mark Barron said. “A lot of us other guys, we’re still wondering where we’re going to be living for the next however many years.” Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor, is comforted by already knowing he’ll be a member of the Redskins. But he thinks he might actually miss the draft-day jitters. Well, at least a little bit. “It kind of puts yourself at ease,” he said, “but it does kind of rob you of that natural draftee experience where you don’t know where you’re going and you’re in limbo.” Added South Carolina defensive end Melvin
Ingram: “Yeah, I guess that would be kind of different. You won’t get that adrenaline of, ‘Oh, man. I hope they pick me,’ when you know where you’re going.” Luck will go No. 1 overall to Indianapolis after a terrific career at Stanford. Like Griffin, he is also expected to step right into a starting job as a rookie. “I guess it’s nice, but there’s always competition in football and if I go out there and lay an egg and I’m not the best quarterback out there, I hope they don’t start me,” Luck said. “I’m excited, though. I’m going to go out there and hopefully play, obviously, and put my best foot forward and enjoy all the guys.” Luck, the son of former NFL quarterback Oliver Luck, acknowledged that it
was a “relief” to know he’ll be going to the Colts even if they’re starting from scratch after they released Peyton Manning. “Obviously, the slate has been wiped somewhat clean with some new coaches and some players who have gone or left, but I’ll try to come in there and work as hard as I can,” Luck said. “If that means it’s a rebuilding process, I guess you can label it as that. The guys I’m sure are working very hard and I just want to get out there and join them.” After Luck and Griffin, Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill is expected to be the next quarterback taken possibly eighth overall by Miami, where he’d be reunited with Mike Sherman. The new Dolphins offensive coordina-
tor was Tannehill’s head coach the last four years. “If I did happen to go there, it would be good,” said Tannehill, who would compete with starter Matt Moore. “It would give me some familiarity with the offense, so I think it would help ease the transition a little bit.” Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon will likely be the first wide receiver picked, possibly as high as No. 4 by Cleveland. Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd, Georgia Tech’s Stephen Hill and Baylor’s Kendall Wright are other receivers who might go in the opening round. “It’s a great time to come into the league if you are a receiver,” said Blackmon, a two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as college football’s top receiver.

North) made sure that Butler wouldn’t be winning the GWOC North this season, sweeping the Aviators 8-4 and 10-5. The Indians (10-7, 7-1 GWOC North) split their season series with Butler — their only loss in divisional play — setting up next week’s championship series. Troy, which was swept by Greenville but won all of its other divisional games, must sweep Piqua to claim the title. All the Indians need is one win either Monday or Tuesday. “Knocking them (Butler) off was a nice accomplishment. We played different in those two games. We didn’t play not to lose. We played to win,” Welker said. “We prepared for those two games, and the guys stepped up. “We’ve got to take that same mentality into the Piqua series.” Before that, though, the Trojans have plenty of other things to keep themselves occupied. Today, Troy hosts the 16-3 Springboro Panthers — the team that knocked the Trojans out of the postseason in the first round last season. Then on Friday, Troy travels to Miamisburg — the only team to hand the GWOC South-leading Panthers a

divisional loss this year. And finally on Sunday, the night before the Piqua series kicks off at Hardman Field in Piqua, the Trojans take on Fairfield under the lights at the Dayton Dragons’ Fifth Third Field at 7
p.m. Even with all of those potential distractions in the way, Troy has its eyes on the prize. “The guys and I have talked about keeping our focus and how important Monday and Tuesday are.
But We’re still going to go out and compete before then,” Welker said. “We schedule good teams like Springboro, Miamisburg and Fairfield to get better. Games like that are prepping us for potential league title games and for the tournament. That’s our mindset. “The challenge is going to be pitching. We’ll be setting up the guys we want on the mound for Monday and Tuesday, so we’ll have to watch who’s throwing.” And when Troy does face Piqua, there will be a little added incentive, also. The Indians swept the season series from Troy last season, ending the Trojans’ eight-game winning streak against Piqua. Before then, the last time Piqua beat Troy was in 2006. “We feel like we owe them a little,” Welker said. “But we feel that we’re competing with the team in our dugout, not the other one. When we lose, we feel like we didn’t do the things we needed to do to win. If we play our game, we’re tough to beat. “If we play our game and get beat by a better team, then we get beat by a better team. But we know we’re going to be in every game.”
■ CONTINUED FROM 17 athletic scholarship. They made it hard to pass up,” Subler said. “Also, I’m looking to study physical therapy, and Iowa has the thirdbest physical therapy school in the country. That was a big factor. “I liked it a lot when I visited there. They’ve got a great program and great coaches, and all of the girls on the team seemed nice” So what was the draw for such big-name programs? “They’ve had great success getting tall, athletic girls, and swimming is an aerobic sport like rowing,” Subler said. “Swimmers have made good transitions into rowing. So swimming really paid off for me.” Subler still hasn’t rowed
competitively yet, but her focus before leaving for school will be fitness. “They want me to be in prime shape when I get there,” she said. “Mostly, I have to get into really good shape. I’ll be working a lot on the erg (rowing) machine and doing a lot of running and cross training.” Another Red Devil, Josh Bechtol, also signed his letter of intent to play college sports, committing to Urbana University to play men’s soccer. He joins a long list of Devils that will be moving on to the next level in soccer — team captain Connor Harmer signed earlier this year to play for Findlay’s men’s team, while Jenna Nelson will be playing for Hiram’s women’s team.

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 tough time in a game on Saturday. He could rejoin the team in San Francisco next weekend. Pablo Sandoval singled in the third inning, giving him a hit in each of the first 18 games. That matches Johnny Rucker’s mark with the 1945 New York Giants for best seasonopening streak in franchise history. Neither team did much through the first six
innings, when a steady rain forced the grounds crew to spread bags of drying material around the infield at each changeover. Angel Pagan hit a solo homer in the third off Bronson Arroyo, giving him a 10-game hitting streak that matches his career high. Arroyo lasted five innings, giving up at least one hit in each of them. He allowed nine in all and one walk, but escaped with only two runs one earned.

In the first, Chris Getz drew a leadoff walk and Butler belted a 2-1 pitch for his third homer and first hit in seven career at-bats against Jimenez. In the fourth, Gordon reached on a one-out single when his grounder went between shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and second baseman Jason Kipnis, who both pulled up and appeared to think the other had it. One out later, Hosmer hit his fifth homer to left. Even in victory, the young Royals had one gaffe. In the sixth, Mike Moustakas was on second with one out when Mitch Maier flied out to center. Moustakas tagged up and beat the throw to third. Third baseman Jack Hannahan thought Moustakas left too early and alertly threw to second
baseman Kipnis, who stepped on the bag for the unusual 8-5-4 double play. Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half on a single by Michael Brantley and walks to Cabrera and Carlos Santana. Hosmer made a diving stop of a sharp grounder by Travis Hafner and threw to second for a force as Brantley scored to make it 4-1. Hochevar then struck out Shelley Duncan on a breaking ball well off the plate to end the threat. Hochevar left after walking Kipnis with one out in the seventh. Tommy Hottovy, called up from Triple-A Omaha, promptly hit Casey Kotchman, in an 0-for-21 slump, with his first pitch. Aaron Cunningham followed with a single up the middle to score Kipnis, cutting the Royals’ lead to 4-2.

He added a solo shot in the ninth off reliever Jairo Asencio, following Alex Gordon’s three-run homer against the reliever. Eric Hosmer’s two-run shot in the fifth made it 4-0 the Royals’ largest lead since April 8, when they beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3.
