Historic district requests OK’d Signage, parking lot work approved BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Getting paid to accept food stamps

Four properties saw their historic district reviews approved at the May 9 Troy Planning Commission meeting. Applicant Dawn Roop made a

TROY request to re-face a sign at 206 S. Market St., where retail store Station 5 is located. The approved sign will have black vinyl lettering on a wood backing painted to match the building color.

A mounted wall sign for 117 S. Market St. — the future home of Francis Wireless — was approved. An occupancy permit was granted May 3 for the communication store. Commissioners also voted to OK an internally illuminated “OPEN” sign for Say Love LLC,

located at 101 S. Market St. Proposed work for 120 S. Plum St., owned by JD and Katherine Rutt, was signed off by the board as well. The alterations include removing and replacing a concrete parking area and installing a steel pole with basketball hoop, among other changes. The next meeting for the Troy Planning Commission is set for May 23.

The federal government is spending $4 million to help hook up farmers and low-income customers. Currently, fewer than a quarter of the nation’s roughly 7,100 farmers markets are set up to use the Electronic Benefit Transfer system, or food stamps. But Kathleen Merrigan, deputy secretary of agriculture, said she hopes these grants will bring another 4,000 of those outlets in line with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. See Page 4.

Sassoon dies at age 84 Vidal Sassoon used his hairstyling shears to free women from beehives and hot rollers and give them wash-and-wear cuts that made him an international name in hair care.

OUTLOOK

Becky Sweeney picks up a package at the post office Wednesday in Websterville, Vt. The post office was on the list of rural offices to be closed in Vermont. Bending to strong public opposition, the nearly bankrupt U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday backed off a plan to close thousands of rural post offices after May 15 and proposed keeping them open, but with shorter operating hours.

Post offices get a reprieve Rural offices nationwide to stay open with reduced hours BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Many rural residents will retain their local post office service, but will have a smaller window of time to do retail business with its Postmaster. In response to rural residents’ outcry to the potential closing of thousands of rural United State Postal services offices, the USPS announced it will keep its rural offices open, yet, with reduction of its daily operating hours. David Van Allen, a USPS regional spokesman, said the reduction in hours is still a win-win for rural residents. “This is good news for rural communities, especially for those that had their village post office on a closing list,” Van Allen said. “Those

MIAMI COUNTY offices will remain open, just with reduced hours.” The following local post offices will have daily retail operating hours reduced from eight hours to four: Laura, Ludlow Falls and Conover. Potsdam’s office hours will be reduced from six hours a day to two. Potsdam’s office was once on the list to be closed permanently in Ohio. According to the press release, “This is a preliminary list that requires additional review, analysis and verification, and is subject to change.” Van Allen said the reduction in window hours will not affect rural carrier routes. He said the changes will be implemented in phases and a com-

munity meeting will be conducted for each affected office at later date. The community meeting will help its Postmaster decide its options, such as to merge with a nearby post office, move to a local establishment within the village or town, provide delivery service using rural carriers or maintain the post office with reduced retail window service hours to match customer’s needs. Access to post office boxes will remain unchanged. Van Allen said nearly 54 percent of those surveyed wanted to keep their rural offices open with reduced hours. Approximately 46 percent surveyed said they preferred a village post office, expanding rural delivery or offering servicing from a nearby post office. “This was basically a response to the community’s input,” Van Allen said. The reductions in hours were based on sales and work load and

For the 20th year, the National Association of Letter Carriers will help “Stamp Out Hunger” with its nationwide food drive. Participating is as simple as leaving non-perishable food items in a bag to be collected May 12 when mail is delivered. Mail carriers then take the food back to the post office to be distributed to pantries. Coordinating the effort for the Troy post office at 305 S. Market St. are supervisor Chris Lucas and union steward Chad Woodworth. “We really appreciate everybody helping in donating the food — and the organizations that provide a place for us to donate the food to — so people don’t have to go hungry,” Lucas said. An estimated 16 percent of Americans are at risk of hunger, with one in five being under the age of 18. Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one-day food drive nationwide. Non-perishable food — such as soup, cereal and pasta — will be donated to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, First Place (run by United Methodist Church) and Richards Chapel United Methodist Church. “To be honest, anything is helpful,” Lucas said. “For my own church, I know our food pantry is dry.” She reminded residents that items cannot be expired or

Wide-ranging gambling bill clears Ohio Senate COLUMBUS (AP) — Just days ahead of the opening of Ohio’s first casino, state senators on Wednesday passed a wideranging gambling bill that aims to sort out the regulations governing casinos, racetracks and new video lottery terminals. The 29-3 bipartisan vote came after a Senate panel stripped a provision that would have expanded charity card rooms from one Ohio county to all 88 counties. Charities can book the rooms to run poker games and use the proceeds for their cause. Cuyahoga County in northeast Ohio is currently the only county with such a facility. Senate committee chairman Bill Coley said the issue would be taken up in a separate bill. The Ohio House, which passed an earlier version, rejected the Senate changes to the bill on Wednesday, sending it to a negotiating committee. House Speaker William Batchelder, a Medina Republican, said the move was to give lawmakers more time to examine the Senate’s changes. “There are a carload of tough issues here,” Batchelder said, adding that he thought lawmakers could work out any tweaks to the bill by the end of next week. He said at least one problem he had with the measure the expansion of charity card rooms had already been removed. Rep. Lou Blessing, the bill’s sponsor, told his House colleagues to reject the changes. “All we need to do is take more time, make sure we get it right,” the Cincinnati Republican said. Batchelder said state regulators and others advised him that there wasn’t anything in the bill that needed to be in place before Monday’s opening of the state’s first casino in Cleveland. There was little discussion about the legislation before the Senate passed it. Coley, R-Middletown, told his Senate colleagues the bill would empower

supporting gay marriage. “In the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people,” he said. Acknowledging that his support for same-sex marriage may rankle religious conservatives, Obama said he thinks about his faith in part through the prism of the Golden Rule — treating others the way you would want to be treated. “That’s what we try to impart to our kids and that’s what motivates me as president and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I’ll be as a as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I’ll be as president,” Obama said.

Senators also added a one-year moratorium on new Internet “sweepstakes” cafes in the state. Customers who play the games pay for Internet time or phone cards and use them to bet points on computers loaded with games such as poker or slots. Winners can get cash or merchandise prizes from the games, which are largely unregulated. Legislative leaders have made the bill a priority as

four voter-approved casinos are about to open their doors. State regulators on Wednesday approved the operating license of Penn National Gaming Inc., which plans to open its casino in Toledo on May 29. Casinos in Columbus and Cincinnati are set to open later. Recognizing the urgency to have the rules in place as the casinos open, senators agreed to add a clause to the bill that would make it immediately effective upon the governor’s signature. Batchelder said Republican Gov. John Kasich indicated to him on Wednesday morning that he was anxious to get the bill completed. But, Batchelder said, “Obviously, we will not send it to the floor until we’re confident of the meaning.” The bill also outlines a

minimum number of live racing days at the state’s seven horse tracks. And in an effort to further boost the horse racing industry, certain permit holders could pay a percentage of their commission from video lottery terminals to the state’s Racing Commission to benefit breeding and racing in Ohio. The measure also bolsters oversight of gambling. It gives the state inspector general certain powers to investigate conduct at casinos and keep watch over the employees of the state’s attorney general who will act as law enforcement agents at the casinos. Other provisions to the bill would let bingo halls remain open until 2 a.m. instead of midnight, and requires the state to complete a study on the current status of gambling addiction problems in Ohio.

MAY IS BETTER HEARING MONTH Have you heard? May is Better Hearing Month! Dr. Lucille P. Hosfeld, Audiologist with Beltone Hearing & Audiology, would like to remind our local community that hearing loss is an important health concern that affects you and your loved ones’ quality of life. Individuals with untreated hearing loss are more likely to experience feelings of social isolation, anxiety, depression, and dependence than those that choose to seek treatment for their hearing impairment. Untreated hearing loss will not only endanger your safety, but also isolate you from your friends and family. Not only is a hearing loss frustrating but it can also be dangerous! It can cause missed doorbells, alarms, directions and warnings. Hearing can even lead to other problems like loneliness, depression, social isolation, and even Dementia. The John Hopkins Institute published a study from the February Archives of Neurology, which focused on people whose hearing and cognitive abilities were tested for four year. While about a quarter of the volunteers had some hearing loss at the start of the study, none had Dementia. Those volunteers were then closely followed with repeat examination every two years. By 2008, fifty-eight of them had developed Dementia. Therefore, not treating hearing loss will not only lead to physical concerns for you and your family but it leads to emotional turmoil as well. According to Dr. Hosfeld, “The technology that is available today to treat hearing loss is exciting. Patients fit with digital, wireless technology are very satisfied. In fact 82% of new patients would recommend the instruments to others. Wireless technology offers direct connectivity to TV, telephone, remote control, and personal amplification devices. It is truly amazing! Of course, hearing instruments do not restore normal human hearing, but the improvements in hearing sensitivity in many different environments is dramatic! Patients become more relaxed, secure, and confident in social situations. You can see it in their facial expressions.” During the month of May, Dr. Hosfeld encourages you to set up a FREE Hearing Examination for you or your loved one before it is too late. There is no charge and no obligation to buy. FREE Trials are available on the new wireless, virtually invisible hearing instruments so someone can experience the impact of hearing the sounds and speech that are missed as a result of a hearing loss. Beltone Hearing & Audiology is conveniently located in downtown Piqua at 409 N. Main St. Call 773-1456 to schedule your FREE examination today! 2282059

Form-fitting underwear bomb plot foiled WASHINGTON (AP) — AlQaida designed a bomb to slip inside form-fitting, brief-style underwear in hopes it would go undetected even if the bomber received an airport pat-down, officials said Wednesday, describing a plot they said was directly overseen by a high-level al-Qaida leader in Yemen. The scheme never had a chance, though, because the would-be bomber was actually a double-agent working for Saudi Arabia’s security services. Saudi officials worked with the CIA to deliver the sophisticated new bomb directly to the U.S. government, according to current and former U.S. officials briefed on the situation. The operation was a victory on

multiple fronts. Not only did it prevent an attack and give the U.S. a look at al-Qaida’s latest deadly invention, but the double agent also provided some of the information that led to the drone strike last weekend that killed Fahd alQuso, two former officials said. Al-Quso, whom the U.S. believes was al-Qaida’s chief of external operations in Yemen, personally met with the would-be bomber and instructed him to pick a U.S.-bound plane to attack on the day of his choosing, the officials said. The current and former officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the operation. The FBI is still analyzing the

explosive but officials described it as an upgrade over the bomb that fizzled aboard a plane over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009. The new device contained no metal and utilized the chemical lead azide, which is known as a reliable detonator. After the Christmas attack failed, al-Qaida used lead azide as the detonator in a nearly successful 2010 plot against cargo planes. Despite the sophistication of this latest underwear bomb, security officials said they believed bombs like it could have been detected by airport body scanners or security pat-downs, which have become commonplace in U.S. airports since the failed Christmas 2009 attack. Procedures overseas, however,

can be a mixed bag. The U.S. cannot force other countries to permanently adopt the expensive and intrusive measures that have become common in American airports over the past decade. “I would not expect any real changes for the traveling public,” said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich. “There is a concern that overseas security doesn’t match ours. That’s an ongoing challenge.” The Transportation Security Administration sent advice Tuesday to some international air carriers and airports about security measures that might stave off an attack from a hidden explosive. It’s the same advice the U.S. has issued before, but there was a

thought that it might get new attention in light of the foiled plot. All passengers on U.S.-bound flights are checked against terrorist watch lists and law enforcement databases. “Even if our technology is good enough to spot it, the technology is still in human hands and we are inherently fallible,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House Intelligence Committee. “And overseas, we have varying degrees of security depending on where the flight originates.” Authorities believe that, like the Christmas bomb and the printer bombs, this latest device is the handiwork of either al-Qaida’s master bomb maker in Yemen, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, or one of his students.

Farmers markets getting money to take food stamps RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The federal government is spending $4 million to help hook up farmers and lowincome customers. Currently, fewer than a quarter of the nation’s roughly 7,100 farmers markets are set up to use the Electronic Benefit Transfer system, or food stamps. But Kathleen Merrigan, deputy secretary of agriculture, said she hopes these grants will bring another 4,000 of those outlets on line with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. “SNAP participation at farmers’ markets helps provide fresh fruit and vegetables to families and expands the customer base for local farmers — a win-win for agriculture and local communities,” she said in a statement. The money is to equip these locations with wireless “point of sale” equipment to be used with the food program’s debit cards. Grants range from $5,404 for

Delaware, which has 11 markets, to $426,945 for California, with 687. Kevin Concannon, the undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, was touring sites around the country this week. On Tuesday, he stopped at the State Farmers Market in Raleigh, N.C. “We’re on a mission to help Americans eat better,” Concannon said after sampling a vendor’s blueberries. “And what better place than to provide access, better access to folks for farmers markets. And in particular for low-income people.” North Carolina will receive $109,631. The Raleigh market has already funded its own wireless system. Still, only four vendors there accept the EBT, though three more are setting up to do so, said Ronnie Best, the market’s manager. “We’ve been doing it three months and … we don’t even

Concannon acknowledged that many of these markets are off the beaten path and can be hard — and expensive — for low-income people to access. But he said many are

within easy reach of the estimate 46 million Americans who used food stamps. “But in general, I’ve found that … once you provide access to low-income folks, they’ll come back,” he said. “They can price like the rest of us. … It’s one more step in trying to promote healthier eating for the country.”

and its problems. I so agree that educators should drive the educational policy. Teachers are smart, responsible and creative when allowed. For years, the federal government has virtually “killed” educational progress with continual mandates and changes in edu-

cation policy. Thank you, Tom, for your common sense, pure logic, intelligence and your experience in making sound decisions.

PERSPECTIVE

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Tribune, Greeley, Colo., on the U.S. Postal Service: It’s going to take more than closing a couple hundred rural post offices to fix what’s wrong with the U.S. Postal Service. That’s why we are happy the U.S. Senate decided to halt closing about half the mail processing centers the Postal Service wants to close. It would also bar any shutdowns before the November elections and protect most rural post offices for at least a year. The service would also give it a one-time $11 billion cash infusion to keep it running. The Postal Service is losing billions of dollars a year. Closing 252 post offices, as was originally proposed, would save some money, while cutting off rural communities from an important source of communication. Many of the rural post offices are the only public building in town, and serve as a hub for the community.

If they take action sooner rather than later, more options and more time will be available to phase in changes so that the public has adequate time to prepare.” That wasn’t a Republican campaign pitch. That was an alarm sounded by Social Security trustees as they issued their annual report. They project that the system’s disability fund will run out of money in 2016, with the retirement fund hitting empty in 2035. That means the two funds, combined, are forecast to run dry in 2033 — three years earlier than last year’s belly-up prediction. As Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the senior trustee, told reporters when the latest numbers were released: “We must take steps to keep these programs whole for the future.” But which steps? And when we will take them? The inescapable truth remains that Medicare and Social Security are unsustainable in their current formats. Electionyear vows to save them without comprehensive overhauls are promises that no politician can keep. And the longer elected officials in both parties — and the rest of us — keep putting off the hard calls required to rescue Social Security and Medicare, the tougher that mission will be.

DOONESBURY

Still searching for the perfect Mother’s Day gift Hoping she would say either “Wrestlemania tickets” or “a six-pack of root beer,” I asked my wife earlier this week what I should get her for Mother’s Day. To which she replied, “Oh, you don’t have to get me anything. Don’t waste the money.” Of course she did. In the nearly eight years since she became a mother, Michelle’s life has been about sacrificing for her children and her husband. When there’s five pancakes for breakfast and one of them is burned, we all know who is going to volunteer to take the charred flapjack. When one of our children can’t sleep at night, there’s little doubt who is going to be crawling into the twin bed to sleep with the crying kid. When there’s not enough money in the budget for everyone in the family to get a new outfit, we know who is going to dig around in her closet and make do with something from last year — or older. When push comes to shove over the television remote, we all know who isn’t going to be

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor watching “How I Met Your Mother” and who is going to be watching “The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” for the gazillionth time. And we know who is going to do it all with a smile. What sort of gift do you possibly get for the woman who has given you a son and a daughter, the two most perfect gifts in the entire world? It wasn’t that long ago — incredible how fast eight years go by, really — that I stood beside Michelle as she lay in a hospital bed, having just given birth to Sophie Belle. She had been in labor for the better part of 13 hours — while I helpfully sat around watching “Coal Miner’s Daughter” on cable — and looked like she

— Mary Steele Troy

had just gone 12 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. There were complications. After the birth, her blood pressure started to drop — she was losing too much blood. The doctor would spend the next two hours stitching her up. As I held her hand, sobbing and fearful for her safety, she looked up at me with desperate eyes and simply said, “How’s the baby?” Do they sell Mother’s Day cards for that? Two years after our son Max was born, we found out he suffered from autism spectrum disorder. I remember her making a solemn vow to do everything she could to ensure he had a normal life growing up. And she has kept that promise. Every free moment she has is spent researching autism, caring for Max and doing all she can for our little baby boy. When other mothers would be worn out from a 12-hour work day, she somehow finds the strength to lift her little man into her lap one more time and hold him close to her heart. There is no box of chocolates that quite covers that. Of course, she somehow

manages to work full-time and take care of our two kids while, at the same time, putting up with the biggest kid of all — that, of course, would be me. A lesser woman would have packed it in and told me to hit the road years ago. Somehow, though, she manages to put up with it all. When others tell me I can’t; she tells me I can. When others say I shouldn’t; she reassures me I should. When I don’t think I’ve got anything left to give, she’s there to reassure me I do. Not sure flowers are going to be enough this year. What sort of gift to you possibly get for a woman who has given you two adorable kids? How do you properly honor someone who is part journalist, part wife, part mother and all incredible? How can you possibly put into words how much it means to be married to someone who you not only love, but admire? Maybe I just did. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. Happy Mother’s Day, Michelle.

Once the wash-and-wear concept hit, though, it hit big, and many women retired their curlers for good. His shaped cuts were an integral part of the “look” of Mary Quant, the superstar British fashion designer who popularized the miniskirt. “My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous,” Sassoon said in 1993 in the Los Angeles Times, which first reported his death. “Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn’t have time to sit under the dryer anymore.” His wash-and-wear styles included the bob, the Five-Point cut and the “Greek Goddess,” a short, tousled perm — inspired by the “Afro-marvelous-looking women” he said he saw in New York’s Harlem. Paul Mitchell’s son Angus Mitchell, coowner of John Paul Mitchell systems and a prominent hairstylist in his own right, said Sassoon’s simple-but-dynamic system forever changed the business because it could be replicated anywhere.

Belcher resigns from department Staff Report

BETHEL TOWNSHIP

There will be some changes in Bethel Township’s fire and administration departments. Trustees accepted the resignation of Ben Belcher from the fire department Tuesday evening. Belcher is moving toward a new career path. “He’s a great kid. I can’t say enough good about him,” township adminstrator Mike Gebhart said, “The door is always open to Ben.” The fire department may be losing one member, but it gains another in Jon Miller. Miller is a certified paramedic and will be receiving Level 1 fire training in the summer or fall. The training will be paid for by the 2011 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighter’s grant Bethel received in March. Miller will serve an on call position, with the possibility of moving to a night-time slot if one becomes available. On the administrative side, Bethel trustees appointed Leanne

Yeater as a student intern for the summer of 2012 at a stipend rate of $1,000. Yeater, an upcoming senior at West Liberty University, will be developing current area income surveys. The surveys will be used to determine eligibility and apply for Community Development Block Grants and United States Department of Agriculture rural water grants. “She’s a real go-getter, and task oriented,” Gebhart said. Yeater will work two days a week. She starts next week and goes until August. In other news, Underground Utilities announced they will be closing Wildcat Road from U.S. Route 40 to Ross Road for approximately two to three weeks. This is due to work being completed on the Phoneton Area Collection System and Wildcat Pump Station. Any questions concerning the closure, contact Mark Reiter at (419) 465-2587, ext. 135.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vidal Sassoon used his hairstyling shears to free women from beehives and hot rollers and give them wash-and-wear cuts that made him an international name in hair care. When he came on the scene in the 1950s, hair was high and heavy — typically curled, teased, piled and shellacked into place. Then came the 1960s, and Sassoon’s creative cuts, which required little styling and fell into place perfectly every time, fit right in with the fledgling women’s liberation movement. “His timing was perfect: As women’s hair was liberated, so were their lives,” Allure magazine Editor-in-Chief Linda Wells told The Associated Press in a written statement. “Sassoon was one of the original feminists.” Sassoon was at his home in Los Angeles with his family when he died Wednesday at age 84, police spokesman Kevin Maiberger said. Maiberger said police were summoned to the home but found that Sassoon had died of natural causes, and authorities wouldn’t investigate further. “Vidal Sassoon was the most famous hairstylist in the history of the world,” said John Paul DeJoria, a close friend of Sassoon and CEO of John Paul Mitchell Systems, a company he co-founded with the late Paul Mitchell, a Sassoon protege. “Good hairstylists never die. Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell will always live on.” DeJoria said Sassoon had been scheduled to sit at his table for a fundraiser Monday night but called to cancel, saying “his body was feeling just a little bit too tired and he would be there in spirit.” Sassoon opened his first salon in his

Weddings are still in full swing. Daughters Elizabeth and Susan had two to attend this week. Usually the youth who aren’t family or don’t have a part in the wedding don’t attend the service but are invited for a 7 p.m. supper and singing at most of the weddings in the community. There are quite a few more May weddings coming up. We also have some new babies in our church district. They are so sweet and innocent and such a blessing from God.

Moms are celebrated around the world

Everybody is convinced that the best mom in the world is theirs. That’s probably why Mother’s Day is celebrated in dozens of countries around the world, although not always on the same date. There’s nothing new about honouring a mother’s unique role within the family and society as a whole. Ancient Greeks were known to celebrate Rhea, the mother of the Gods, and countless other religions have celebrated the fertility and nur-

turing qualities of women. The perpetuation of this tradition in North America goes back to an American, Anna Jarvis, who lost her mother on the second Sunday of May, 1906. She convinced the authorities in her small Virginian town to mark Mother’s Day with a religious ceremony the following year. The idea was so popular that the entire state of Virginia began an official celebration for mothers in 1907. A few years later, in

ANNIEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MAILBOX

Ask your husband to speak with his mother Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 11 years. We have three young children and a great relationship. We recently decided to move from Boston to Georgia. My husband, children and I believe it is the right choice. The problem is my mother-in-law. Right now, we live within a mile of her. She is devastated that we are moving and is blaming me. She says I am taking her son away from her and that we are making a big mistake. When I pointed out the exciting professional and personal opportunities available to us, she said we are being rash. Our decision is the product of much discussion and analysis over the past two years. Others have not been privy to those conversations, so I understand why my mother-in-law thinks we are rushing things. But when I explain, it falls on deaf ears. Is there any way to get my mother-in-law to focus less on how this affects her and more on the positive impact it will have on her son and grandchildren? I worry the move will drive a permanent wedge between us. It's hard for my husband because she is framing it as a choice between his wife and his mother. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ready To Go in the Northeast Dear Ready: For 11 years, your mother-in-law has had her son and grandchildren within walking distance. Please try to understand that the move is not only a shock to her, it is breaking her heart. And while you see opportunity, she sees uncertainty. If your husband had been offered a terrific job in Georgia, she might be more accepting. Your husband should be the one to talk to his mother about this decision. Don't argue with her. Simply reassure her repeatedly that you will remain as close as possible, that you will visit as often as you can and welcome her to your new home, and that the kids will Skype or FaceTime with her daily so she can see them. It will take her a while to get used to the idea, and she will always miss you, but things will eventually settle down. Hang in there. Dear Annie: I am a former Catholic. In my 20s, I left the church and eventually admitted to myself that I am an atheist. Except for those who share or respect my convictions, my relatives and friends don't know this. The problem is, I get many emails of a religious nature with the request that I forward them to others. I take them in the spirit in which they are offered, but I can't support a philosophy I don't believe in. So far, I have resorted to deleting the religious part and forwarding the rest of the message, or I have sent the email back to the senders only. It grieves me to resort to subterfuge, but I do not want to alienate the senders, especially my relatives. I don't have many left. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brooklyn Dear Brooklyn: You are taking these emails way too seriously. You are under no obligation to pass along what most people consider spam. Your religious beliefs or lack of them are no one's business. Forward what you like, ignore what you don't, return to sender or do anything else that clears your inbox and doesn't anger the relatives. Dear Annie: "Sister Wives in Kentucky" said her ex-husband's third wife shared her taste in gifts, wrapping paper and kitchen decor. She wondered whether there are others like her. I live in Kansas, and my best friend lives in Massachusetts. We met 10 years ago on an Alaskan cruise. We discovered that we use the same shampoo, toothpaste, soap and hairdryer, read the same authors, love the same TV shows and generally know what the other is thinking. My mother passed away the year before that cruise, and I believe with all my heart that Mom set it up for us to meet. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; S.

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 todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puzzle in tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Troy Daily News. YESTERDAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to wipe out hard water stains? Dear Heloise: Last year, we had a new well put in, and now we have been having problems with hard water stains in sinks, toilets and the shower. Please advise on how I can remove the stains. Thanks. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sandra S. in Michigan Hi, Sandra, and thanks for writing. If the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stainsâ&#x20AC;? are orange or look like rust, then they probably are from iron in the water. These will need to be treated with a commercial rust remover. However, if the stains are from hard water, then just plain old white or apple-cider vinegar should work. You can heat it (not boiling) and pour it in a sink that has a stopper plugging the drain. Let it sit for an hour or so, then scrub. You can do

Hints from Heloise Columnist the same with your toilet, pouring vinegar into the bowl, letting it sit, scrubbing and flushing. For the shower, shower heads can be removed and soaked overnight in vinegar. Or tie a plastic bag over the shower head â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fill it with vinegar so that the shower head is completely submerged, and in the morning, scrub clean. For the

rest of the shower and tub, just pour vinegar on the stains and scrub as you go. There are so many uses for vinegar! Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find these hints and more in my vinegar pamphlet. To receive a copy, please send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Most vinegars will last indefinitely, so be sure to stock up when they are on sale, and keep plenty in your home for all your cleaning needs! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise MULTIPLE DRYER SHEETS Dear Heloise: I saw a letter asking about a lady using five dryer

sheets at the laundromat (Heloise here: It was in a previous column that a reader had seen another woman do this). I save my used dryer sheets, and when I am out of sheets, I recycle the used ones, using several at a time. Maybe that was what she was doing. I read you every day as my mom read your mom. Thanks for all the good tips. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kathy L., via email Kathy, that could have been what she was doing. Of course, the makers of the sheets say to use them only once because the majority of the fabric softener has been used the first time. My take? Give it a try, and if it works for you, go for it! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heloise

HOROSCOPE Thursday, May 10, 2012 In the coming months, there’s a possibility that you could get into something strictly as a hobby but that will have greater potential than you initially realized. Chances are, it’ll turn out to be the tail that wags the dog. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although certain people may disagree, you’re on the right track by viewing a certain situation from an idealist perspective as well as a logical one. It gives you the best of both worlds. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Receiving an invitation to join a certain group might be an ego booster, but before you actually join, it might be wise to find out if you’re simpatico with the membership. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Give yourself plenty of time to think about making a major change. Upon further review and consideration, you might discover your first decisions were hasty and unwise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It would be wise to make sure that an agreement you’ve been asked to accept serves the best interest of all parties involved. If there isn’t parity, you, along with some others, will suffer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You should focus on long-term results rather than immediate ones in a business arrangement. If you resort to a mere quick fix, everyone could lose out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If your priorities are out of order, you might accomplish a bunch of little things but fail to get that big, important something off the ground. Reverse your thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even though a number of objectives are likely to be achieved, much more could be accomplished if you first check out everything that needs to be done and then make a prioritized list. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you’ll function effectively within your own sphere of operation, you could run into some problems if you try to operate in an area over which you have no control. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When it comes to meeting your obligations, you should do quite well. However, if you expect any pats on the back for what you accomplish, you’ll be sorely disappointed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Certain contacts you think so highly of aren’t likely to be around when you want their help. However, you don’t need them, even if you have yourself convinced otherwise. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Take care when it comes to financial matters, because they can be a bit tricky. Be careful you don’t get into something that has strings attached, or you’ll give back more than you get. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Should a well-intentioned friend turn out to be more of a hindrance than a help, don’t hesitate to keep him or her at bay, but do so in a way that keeps the other person blissfully ignorant.

WEST MILTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Every tombstone has a story, and participants will hear five of them between 5-7 p.m.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mitt Romney on Wednesday reaffirmed his view that marriage should be restricted to one man and one woman, highlighting a sharp contrast with President Barack Obama. Obama declared his unequivocal personal support for same-sex marriage during an interview with ABC News. Reporters asked Romney about the issue after a campaign event in Oklahoma City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My view is that marriage itself is between a man and a woman,â&#x20AC;? the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told reporters. He said he believes that states should be able to make decisions about whether to offer certain legal rights to same-sex couples. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very tender and sensitive topic, as are many social issues, but I have the same view that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had since â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since

running for office,â&#x20AC;? Romney said. He first ran for political office in 1994, when he challenged Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, DMass., and was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002. Obama is the first president in history to support gay marriage. Polls show the country is evenly divided on the issue. Romney did not go so far as to accuse Obama of changing his position on gay marriage, though the president has said that he had an â&#x20AC;&#x153;evolvingâ&#x20AC;? view of the subject. Questioned by reporters, Romney said news reports indicate Obama has shifted his stance. Romney was a leading voice against gay marriage as Massachusetts governor. The courts legalized gay marriage in the state during his tenure, but he supported a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Miami County YMCA, in collaboration with X-Stream Pedals-NPaddles, will host a 10-mile recreational bike ride for young men and women ages 11-14 at 9 a.m. May 19, with registration starting at 8:30 a.m. The ride will start and finish on the bike path at Lock 9 Park off of Water Street. Families are asked to park in the Main Street parking lot. The intent of this recreation fun ride is to stress the importance of physical activity and healthy lifestyles to junior high-aged youth and of course to show off portions of the bike path in the city of Piqua. The first 50 entrants will receive a participation medallion and all participants will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Schwinn bicycle donated by Smittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bike Shop in Piqua. There is a $5 registration fee to participate. Registration forms can be found at the Piqua Junior High School or the YMCA. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. For more information, contact the YMCA at (937) 773-9622. All bike riders must wear a helmet to participate in the ride.

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

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP — Troy kept up with third-seeded Lakota East Wednesday for half of the game. But eventually the Thunderhawks showed why they made it to the regional final last year.

MIAMI COUNTY Lakota East hit the ball wherever it was pitched, turning a 5-3 game into a 12-3 Division I Sectional semifinal victory by chasing pitches out of the strike zone and driving them — sometimes out of the park. “That’s the best hitting team I’ve seen since I started coaching high school softball,” Troy coach Scott Herman said. “They were hitting the ball six inches off the ground. Once, we pitched a girl low and inside, and she golfed it out for a three-run homer. (Troy pitcher) Amber (Smith) just

No more dry spell Trojans clean up at GWOC meet BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Prior to the Troy girls winning the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title last year, the Trojan girls had been on a five-year drought. However, this time around the Troy girls were the clear-cut favorite in the GWOC North crown — but they also had their eyes on a bigger prize. “Last year, we were sixth place overall,” Troy girls coach Kurt Snyder said. “It was the first time we had won the North in five years. So we were just going after the North, not worried about where we placed overall. “This time we’re more focused on winning it overall.” At Wednesday’s GWOC meet in Piqua, the ‘Big 3’ — Todda Norris, Ashley Rector and Catelyn Schmiedebusch — shined once again, the relay teams were on point, Troy dominated the field events — and

PIQUA pretty much every other competition in the girls meet — getting a nice 80 point lead in the North standings with a few events to be run on Friday. Troy leads the overall standings with 163 points, while Centerville sits in second (149) and Wayne is in third (146). Schmiedebusch finished first in the 300 hurdles (48.11 seconds), placed second in the North in the 100 hurdles (15.47). Rector smoked the competition in the North division 400, taking first by posting a time of 59.94 seconds — which is tied for second fastest overall. Norris won the 200 (26.13 seconds). In the 100, Norris placed first (12.66 seconds) — holding off Sidney’s Jasmine Glover, who ran a 12.73. Glover was also the person Norris beat out for first in the 200. “I was worried about Glover,” Norris said. “She’s got long legs,

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 but I was pretty confident.” Like they had done all year, Rector and Norris competed against eachother in the long jump — and it was Rector coming away with the victory by a very, very small margin. Rector jumped a 17-5 to Norris’s 17-4.25 — easily the top two leaps in the GWOC overall. “It felt great (to beat her teammate Norris),” Rector said. “I really wasn’t expecting to jump a 175 on my second jump because my first jump was awful. It was somewhere around a 15-9. But somehow I was able to pull it out.” The girls 4x200 team was down Rector … but it didn’t matter. Shanelle Byrd stepped in, joining Norris, Schmiedebusch and Gracie Huffman in the rotation and the Trojans managed to hold off Trotwood down the stretch to win the North with a time of 1:46.81. The team will enter Friday’s All-Star race with the third best time overall. “Shanelle Byrd ran a great leg,” Snyder said. “She caught up to Trotwood for us — and then Todda did the rest.” Byrd was also third as an individual in the 100 (12.93 seconds). The 4x100 team of Schmiedebusch, Huffman, Sharice Hibbler and Byrd also finished first (50.85 seconds), while Rector, Natalie Snyder, McKenna Poling and Leah Soutar placed second in the North behind Butler in the 4x800 (10:38.64). Troy also got big contributions from the throwing combination of Bri Jumper and Jessica Blakes, who went 1,2 in the discus. Jumper won with a throw of 106-7, while Blakes hurled a 105-2. Jumper also placed fourth in the shot (31-10), while teammate Asha Parson placed fifth (297.50). Katie-Grace Sawka placed second in the mile (5:42.67) and Courtney Mazzulla finished third (5:42.67). The Trojans also got a big jolt from the pole vaulting crew as Abby Brinkman and Mariah Sano placed 2,3 in the event. The girls topped out at 9-0. “Our field events got us off to a great start,” Snyder said. “We doublescored in the pole vault, double-scored in the long jump, double-scored in the shot, double-scored in the discus.” • Boys Troy coach Deon Metz expected a three-horse race between his team, Butler and Trotwood at the GWOC meet. Sure enough, that was the case on Wednesday night. “This will come down to the last event,” Metz said. “Butler is doing excellent in the field events and in the distance events. They won the 4x800 and we got third. It’s going to be a three-

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 chuckle. “Those four runs in the sixth really helped us out, took the pressure off.” Patterson went the first five innings to get the win and Michael Seagraves — who won on Tuesday — got the save in the final two as they combined to allow only five hits. “Alec had been doing really well for us when we’ve brought him in,” Campbell said. “We knew we had two more innings with Seagraves, so we wanted to get through the fifth. The guys did a great job.” Patterson also tripled in the game and Daniel McGillivary was 2 for 3 with a double. “Daniel had been in a bit of a slump, so it was good to see him have a game like that. That was big for him,” Campbell said. “Our bats have been coming alive these past few games.

Troy’s Gracie Huffman clears the bar in the high jump Wednesday at the Greater Western Ohio Conference meet at Piqua High School. way battle between Butler, Trotwood and Troy. It’s going to take a big effort on our part.” The Trojans currently lead that battle with two races to score on Friday night. Troy is in fourth overall (116 points) — first in the North — while Trotwood is in fifth overall, right behind Troy with 105 points. Butler has 88 points at the moment. Centerville is the overall leader with 154 points, Lebanon is second (138) and Wayne is in third (136). One of the big stories for Troy was Nick James, who probably wasn’t on too many people’s radar entering this season, never qualifying for regional as an individual in his career.

Covington 5, Bethel 3 BRANDT — Stephen Blei and Austin Angle combined to strike out nine and hold Bethel to its lowest offensive output of the season, and the Buccaneers plated three in the fifth to help Covington upset the No. 1 Bees 5-3 in the second round of the Division IV Sectional tournament. “The kids played as well as anyone could ask of them,” said a very pleased Covington coach Mitch Hirsch. “We beat a very good team tonight. I feel if we play like that, we can play with anybody.” “The name of the game for us is that we just didn’t hit,” Bethel coach Brett Brookhart said. “We picked the wrong day to have our worst offensive day of the year. “Their pitchers both did a good job of keeping us off balance with offspeed pitches. They played good defense on us, and we had a hard time putting things together. “We had good pitching, great defense and hit the ball pretty well. And we were smart on the

bases.” Covington, meanwhile, took advantage of some free passes in the fifth inning as Bethel walked the bases loaded, walked a run in and the Buccs brought one in with a squeeze bunt. Mitch Siler was 2 for 2 with a double and Nate Reese doubled for the Bees (23-4). Covington recorded six hits with Sheldon Rank and Kyler Deeter leading the way with two hits each. Deeter drove in a run, while Ryan Craft recorded two RBI. “This doesn’t take away from what our six seniors did this year. To go from eight wins last year to 23 this year is quite an accomplishment,” Brookhart said. “I’m proud of the way the year went, even if we weren’t happy with how it ended.” With the victory, the Buccs move on to the sectional final Wednesday at Sidney High School.

Clark struck out seven, walked none and surrendered only two hits for the shutout, and the Vikings committed zero errors behind him. “Luke threw the ball well, and we had a couple of nice plays on defense,” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. Bradley Coomes was 3 for 3 with two RBIs, Garrett Mitchell was 2 for 3 and Kevin McMaken was 2 for 3 and had the big hit in the game, a bases-loaded, two-out double that scored all three runners.

Ovechkin, Caps force Game 7 WASHINGTON (AP) — Alex Ovechkin rebounded from a rare zero-shot performance by scoring after 88 seconds Wednesday night, Braden Holtby made 30 saves, and the Washington Capitals recovered from a potentially devastating loss by beating the top-seeded New York Rangers 2-1 to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinal. Two nights after blowing a lead in the last 10 seconds of regulation and losing in overtime, the No. 7seeded Capitals showed immediately they were over it. Ovechkin’s early powerplay goal and Jason

Chimera’s second-period score were just enough for the unflappable playoff rookie Holtby. The teams meet in New York on Saturday night to determine who will face the New Jersey Devils in the conference finals. With his mom covering her eyes in the stands, Holtby made only one error, and it came with 50.5 seconds left a goal that was credited to Marian Gaborik and deflected off a skate and someone in a scrum in the crease. Forgive any Capitals fans for thinking, “Uh, oh. Here we go again.” But Washington held on this time.

Softball ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 looked over at me like, ‘Seriously?’” Shelby Schultz narrowly missed a home run of her own, hitting the ball off the top of the fence for a double and eventually scoring. Allison Pierce was 2 for 3 with a double and a run and Jen Lehmann had a two-run single in the fourth that cut Lakota East’s lead to 5-3 at the time. Still, the Trojans managed only six hits and didn’t score the rest of the game. “We’re already talking about an offseason hitting program,” Herman said. “Honestly, that’s the type of hitting we want to

take our team’s hitting to, Lakota East’s. They’re a good team.” Troy, which won three of its last five, finished 10-16 on the year.

ME 1, Arcanum 0 CASSTOWN — Madison Linn didn’t get a timeout. Instead, she got the game’s only RBI. After Lindsey Brookhart walked with two outs in the bottom of the third, Linn tried to call timeout, but the umpire didn’t give it to

her. So instead, Linn laced the pitch down the first-base line for an RBI double, helping Miami East grab a 1-0 Division III Sectional semifinal victory over Arcanum. “We told her that she should call timeout more often,” Miami East coach Brian Kadel said with a laugh. “Their pitcher was taking a long time, so she tried to call timeout. She didn’t get it, and I don’t know what it was. Maybe it’s because she wasn’t ready and wasn’t thinking about it, but she ripped it down the line. It worked out well for us either way.” That was all the support Paige Kiesewetter would get — and it was

the wrong team at the wrong time. Versailles, the No. 11 seed, posted a five-run fifth inning to take charge Wednesday in a Division III Sectional semifinal at West Milton and held the Bulldogs’ bats in check, upsetting Milton-Union 9-1.

And we just didn’t come to hit today. We got girls on, but we didn’t get it done. We had opportunities to get back in the game.” Vers 020 050 2 — 9 12 2 M-U.......010 000 0 — 1 6 1 Langston and York.

Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto (19) scores past Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy during the ninth inning Wednesday in Milwaukee. Votto scored from second on a hit by Brandon Phillips.

Reds’ Baker wins 1,500th ChiSox rip Indians, 8-1 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Johnny Cueto showed he could hold his own in a duel with one of baseball’s toughest pitchers at home, Zack Greinke. Joey Votto and the Cincinnati Reds then found a way to give Dusty Baker a milestone victory. Votto’s RBI double off John Axford broke a scoreless tie in the ninth, and the Reds edged the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Wednesday. “Zack is always a handful,” Votto said. “John Axford is a very good pitcher in his own right, and then we stole one from him. I don’t want to use the word surprising, but it’s great whenever you can sneak out a win against those two pitchers.” The Reds won two of three against the struggling Brewers, leaving Baker with 1,500 victories as a major league manager. “Every time you win something, it means something,” Baker said. “They came and told me that I won my 1,400th here. Now my 1,500th here. Who knows? Maybe I’ll win my 2,000th here. If I’m around that long.” Drew Stubbs singled off Axford with two outs, and Votto lined a ball over the glove of second baseman Rickie Weeks to score Stubbs from first. “Drew always has a chance to score,” Votto said. “He’s such a good runner. He’s probably one of the

game’s best runners.” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he didn’t have a clear view of the play as it developed, but he wasn’t happy with the result. “I don’t think a guy should be able to score from first base,” Roenicke said. Brandon Phillips then hit a bloop single, driving in Votto for a 2-0 lead. Ryan Braun connected against Sean Marshall in the bottom of the ninth, trimming the Reds’ lead to one with his 10th homer. Marshall nearly gave up another homer on a long fly ball by Corey Hart that was caught at the wall in center, then allowed a pair of two-out singles to Jonathan Lucroy and Norichika Aoki. White Sox 8, Indians 1 CLEVELAND — Jake Peavy coasted for six innings before giving up a run in the seventh and Adam Dunn homered, leading the Chicago White Sox to an easy 8-1 win over the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night and a split of their four-game series. Dunn connected for his 10th homer, a two-run shot, in the first inning off Jeanmar Gomez (2-2) and the White Sox added six runs in the fourth off Cleveland’s starter, who was tagged for eight runs and nine hits eight singles.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 said. “I’m looking for a repeat (championship).” And should he pull it off, his path would be the same. After playing singles all regular season, Luke Oaks and Wynkoop — Troy’s first and second singles players, respectively — teamed up once the postseason arrived, earning the No. 2 seed in the sectional doubles bracket. And they made good on their seed Wednesday, beating Greenville 6-1, 6-0 and Fairborn 6-1, 6-0 to earn a shot at Northmont’s thirdseeded team in Saturday’s semifinal round. “Today was a day to work out some things,” Wynkoop said. “I think we have pretty good chemistry.” For Oaks, a freshman, it’s a chance to get valuable postseason experience and learn from a veteran. “It’s nice having a partner with experience,” Oaks said. “I can build off of his experience. It’s a good opportunity for me as a freshman.” The duo wasn’t tested on the day, using powerful shots to set up easy putaways for each other. On match point, a blistering serve by Oaks put the Fairborn returner on his heels and forced him to pop the ball up, allowing Wynkoop to smash it home for the win. “They weren’t challenged today, and they got through,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “They’re going to need to be ready for Northmont, though. That team looked good today, too. They’re going to have to come out with guns blazing.” Meanwhile, Chris Schmitt and Ben Thompson — the No. 4 seed — struggled with its first opponent but found a way, beating Tippecanoe’s Nick Denuzzo and Tyler Heinl 64, 6-4 then putting away a Greenville team 6-2, 6-0 to qualify for the district tournament. Should both teams win their semifinal matchups, they would meet for the sectional title. “That’s the team goal — an all-Troy final,” Thompson said. “We played better (against Greenville) than in our first match. It was a little rough. Tipp has a deep team.” Standing in their way,

Troy’s Ian Stutz hits a backhand during a singles match Wednesday at the Division I Sectional tournament at Troy Community Park. though, is Butler’s topseeded Ryan Helke and Lauren Jackson — a matchup with plenty of history. Thompson and Schmitt lost to the duo in the regular season then blew them out in the Greater Western Ohio Conference tournament over the weekend. “This is going to be the third time we’ve played them this year,” Schmitt said. “They’re going to have a sour taste in their mouth (after the GWOC match), but we’ll come ready to fight, too. “We’ve each won one. We want to win the series.” “They went through some trying times last year and didn’t start out this year playing together,” Goldner said of Schmitt and Thompson. “They came to me in the middle of the season and thought things could work out, and fortunately they have. “It’s all about how they play now, not who. If you play well, you’ll have a chance to win. If you worry about who you’re playing, you’re probably going to get beat.” Denuzzo and Heinl knocked off Trotwood 4-6, 6-0, 6-0 in the first round before falling to Schmitt and Thompson. The Red Devils’ Blake Sowry and Joe Coughlin lost 7-5, 6-2 to Butler’s other doubles team in the opening round. • Devil of a Time Tippecanoe’s Sam Bollinger doesn’t hit the big shot to beat people. He makes them beat themselves. And on Wednesday, Bollinger’s plan worked like a charm as he maintained long rallies, kept the ball between the lines and forced error after error in his three matches, blanking Piqua’s Frank Patrizio 6-0, 6-0, holding off Troy’s Sean Cothran 6-0, 6-3 and defeating Springfield’s Humza Bashir 6-1, 6-3 to qualify for the D-I District tournament. It was Bollinger’s — and the Red Devil team’s — first year in D-I, and Bollinger, the No. 2 singles seed, was Tippecanoe’s lone qualifier. “It feels good,” Bollinger said of advancing. “My

Tippecanoe’s Jacob Belcher rips a forehand return Wednesday at the Division I Sectional tournament. draw was a little btit easier since I got seeded. It’s pretty hard to play three matches in one day.” But Bollinger’s opponents likely thought they played three matches at once while facing him, as he returned shot after shot, kept would-be winners from getting by and was the epitome of patience. “He doesn’t have that big stroke, that knockout punch. His game is jabbing,” Tippecanoe coach Von Clendenen said. “In high school especially, there’s maybe 10 percent of guys that can overpower a good baseliner. The other 90 percent will beat themselves. And Sam, he’s Steady Eddie out there. “Not too many guys in high school can overpower a pusher, and he knows that. He never gets down after a break or a bad point. He knows he just needs to jab a couple more times, and eventually he’ll wear the other guy down. They get tired, flustered and bewildered.” Bollinger will face the winner between teammate Jacob Belcher and Butler’s Justin Kopronica, the No. 3

seed. Belcher had an unnaturally long day — and didn’t get to finish as a result. He beat Troy’s Matt Alexander 6-0, 6-0 in a preliminary match Tuesday, topped Stebbins’ Troy Crigler 6-0, 6-0 Wednesday … then sat waiting most of the day as Springfield’s Collin Roberts took an AP math test. Once his opponent arrived, Belcher beat him 6-2, 6-2 to set up a matchup with Kopronica. Kopronica won the first set 6-0 and held a 1-0 lead in the second set when rain began to fall. They tried to continue the match, but both players slipped on the same point and the coaches suspended the match. Their quarterfinal match will resume Friday. Cothran rolled in a preliminary match on Tuesday, beating Sidney’s Frank Enyart 6-0, 6-1 before meeting Bollinger. Troy’s Ian Stutz — who beat Tecumseh’s Alex Eben 6-2, 6-4 in a Tuesday prelim — lost to Sidney’s Dan Temple 6-1, 6-4. Tippecanoe freshman Michael Keller lost in a Saturday prelim 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 to Butler’s Kyle Teague.

Heat closes out Knicks MIAMI (AP) — The final horn sounded, and LeBron James wrapped his arms around Carmelo Anthony in a warm embrace. Their head-to-head scoring matchup in this series was even, 139 points apiece. Just about everything else tipped Miami’s way so the Heat are moving on and the New York Knicks are going home. James had 29 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade both scored 19 points and the Heat ousted the shorthanded Knicks 106-94 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference firstround series Wednesday night.

The Heat won the series 4-1, and will meet Indiana in the East semifinals starting Sunday in Miami. “We do not take this for granted,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “This was a tough series. We feel very good about moving on and it’ll only get tougher from here.” For the Heat, it was only the first step. The reigning East champions have one goal getting back to the finals and winning it all and that was likely why even beating the franchise’s longtime rival prompted, at most, a subdued celebration. “We will savor this win tonight,” James said. “And then we get to work tomor-

row and get ready for Indiana.” Anthony scored 35 points for the Knicks, including a spinning jumper over James at the end of the third quarter that pulled New York within 81-67. It was far from being enough to stave off an all-too-familiar playoff result for Anthony, part of that 2003 draft class that also yielded James, Bosh and Wade. Anthony has played 54 postseason games, being part of wins only 17 times. “We fought, under the circumstances,” Anthony said. “I’m not one to make any excuses for anything. … But Miami, they’re a tough defensive team.”
