The Troy Finance Committee recommended city council approve a $30,900 loan to nonprofit Troy Community Works for repaving work at 221-223 E. Main St., known as the East Gate Building. Last week the Troy Downtown Loan Committee also gave its OK of the loan, after changing the repayment period from seven and a half years to five years. City administrator Sue Knight said about $10,000 would remain in the loan fund should council approve
the emergency legislation and agree to move forward on the fund. Another loan of $144,300 with a repayment period of 25 years was approved for building repairs last year. Under the loan terms, no payments are to be paid until repairs are finished. “There are no payments made, but there is not delinquency,” said Troy Development Director Jim Dando. TCW had requested for the monthly payment to remain the same, with an additional repayment period of seven and a half years, bringing the total to 32 and a half. However, at the May 9 meeting, the
TROY loan committee was hesitant to lengthen the repayment period to that amount of time and thus decided that a five-year additional loan — with a slight increase in monthly payments — was a good compromise. Don Willis of TCW said at last week’s meeting that the monthly payment would be doable. Plans were originally in place to patch the parking lot, but after a part of the building was torn down and the property was surveyed, the TCW board realized that substantial portions of the lot had never been

ARIAS The jury simply had to determine the killing was committed in an especially cruel and heinous manner to complete the “aggravation phase” of the trial and move on to the penalty portion.
Please take a number and be seated. While this is the usual protocol when one arrives at the local Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Miami County Bureau of Motor Vehicles deputy registrar Chris Overton said the response from the community to give to local food pantries through the state organization has been “tremendous. Despite the bad rap the BMV often gets, patrons at the Troy BMV have extended their generosity above and beyond Overton’s expectations. “I’m just so impressed with the generosity of the customers,” Overton said. Overton, a deputy registrar for more than nine years in northern Ohio, recently relocated to the Miami County area in July 2012. “There’s just been a very good response — it’s been huge,” Overton said. Overton said BMV deputy registrars around Ohio have collected almost $60,000 as a state program — and all funds benefit the local community where the monies are collected. “We all know that the BMV is the last place you want to be at the end of your day, but Miami County folks are so generous here — it’s just been a really, really great response,” Overton shared. So far, Overton said the Miami County BMVs have collected $3,740 — more than half-way to meet its $6,000 goal for local food pantries in Miami County. The BMV staff collects funds during transactions from as little as a quarter on up to as much as $50 or more from patrons from the BMV during its annual food drive. Patrons are asked to round up their bill from as little as 50 cents up to some generous donations of more than $50. “People really like to know where their money is going,” Overton said. “I’ll even ask our people who would they like best to donate to and where are some good places to give. Then we follow through and give to those organizations following their

paved, Dando said. Troy Community Works President Jordan Romberger stated that the board has received 15 calls regarding renting the property, five of which were serious enough to warrant a walk-through of the building. Nearly all potential business tenants have expressed concerns about the parking lot, he added. The deteriorated front sidewalks would be replaced as well. Security for the $30,900 loan would be an additional mortgage on the building, which previously housed the Salvation Army. Council will decide on the matter at an upcoming meeting.

The jury got the case around noon, took a lunch break and returned the verdict around 3 p.m. Family members of Alexander sobbed in the front row as prosecutor Juan Martinez took the jury through the killing one more time earlier in the day. He described how blood gushed from Alexander’s chest, hands and neck as the 30-yearold motivational speaker and businessman stood at the sink in his master bathroom and looked into the mirror with Arias behind him. “The last thing he saw before he lapsed into unconsciousness … was that blade coming to his throat,” Martinez said. “And the last thing he felt before he left

So far, the BMV has donated $3,000 between the First Place Christian Center and Troy’s St. Patrick Soup Kitchen and will donate to other local organizations as the money is collected each month through June 15. “People know their money is staying here in Miami County and we’ve just been more than pleased with how much people have given,” Overton said. “We still have a few more weeks to go before we hit $6,000, and we are well on our way of hitting it.” Overton said he is pleased to have a helpful and positive staff on board with the BMV’s campaign which also collects food donations. Overton said approximately 100 pounds of food has been donated, as well. Overton said every dollar counts and he appreciated his staff’s hard work and the overwhelming generosity of the Miami County community.

this earth was pain.” Wednesday’s proceedings played out quickly, with only one prosecution witness and none for the defense. The most dramatic moments occurred when Martinez displayed photos of the bloody crime scene for the jury and paused in silence for two minutes to describe how long he said it took for Alexander to die at Arias’ hands. Arias, wearing a silky, creamcolored blouse, appeared to fight back tears most of the morning, but didn’t seem fazed by the verdict. Afterward she chatted with her attorneys.

tencing. Arias’ attorneys didn’t put on much of a case during the aggravation phase, offering no witnesses and giving brief opening statements and closing arguments. They said Alexander would have had so much adrenaline rushing through his body that he might not have felt much pain. The only witness was the medical examiner who performed the autopsy and explained to jurors how Alexander did not die calmly and fought for his life as evidenced by the numerous defensive wounds on his body. Minutes after her first-degree murder conviction last Wednesday, Arias granted an interview to Fox affiliate KSAZ, only adding to the circus-like
Obama tries to regain control amid controversies, pressure WASHINGTON (AP) — Under mounting pressure, President Barack Obama on Wednesday released a trove of documents related to the Benghazi attack and forced out the top official at the Internal Revenue Service following revelations that the agency targeted conservative political groups. The moves were aimed at halting a spreading perception among both White House opponents and allies that the president has been passive and disengaged as controversies consume his second term. In another action, the White House asked Congress to revive a media shield law that would protect journalists from having to reveal information, a step seen as a response to the Justice Department’s widely criticized subpoenas of phone records from reporters and editors at The Associated Press. The flurry of activity signaled a White House anxious to regain control amid the trio of deepening controversies. The incidents have emboldened Republicans, overshadowed Obama’s legislative agenda and threatened to plunge his second term into a steady stream of congressional investigations. Standing in the East Room of the White House, the president said Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller had resigned and vowed that more steps would be taken to hold those responsible accountable. “Americans have a right to be angry about it,

President Barack Obama speaks on the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups for extra tax scrutiny in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Wednesday. and I am angry about it,” Obama said of the IRS actions. “I will not tolerate this kind of behavior at any agency, but especially at the IRS given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives.” The president had addressed the IRS controversy on Monday, but his measured words left many unsatisfied, particularly given that he had waited three days to address the developments. He also repeatedly asserted that he was waiting to find out if the reports were accurate, even though top IRS officials had already acknowledged the controversial actions. Adding to the narrative of a passive president were White House efforts to distance Obama from the IRS scandal, as well as the revelations that the Justice Department had secretly obtained work and personal phone records of journalists. In both of those cases, the White House insisted the president had no prior knowledge of the events and learned about the matters like the general public from news reports. Obama’s cautious response, combined with his lack of awareness about controversies brewing within his administration, opened him to quick criticism from his

sional official disclosed details of emails among administration officials that resulted in the CIA downplaying the prospect that the attacks were an act of terror in talking points used to publicly discuss the deadly incident. Obama aides insisted the emails were either taken out of context or provided no new information but resisted pressure to make the emails public for five days, before finally disclosing the documents to reporters Wednesday. The emails revealed that then-CIA Director David Petraeus disagreed with the final talking points, despite the White House’s insistence that the intelligence agency had the final say over the statements. The White House has publicly defended its handling of the controversies. Obama spokesman Jay Carney has insisted it would be “wholly inappropriate” for the president, in the case of the Justice Department matter, to weigh in on an active investigation, and in the case of the IRS controversy, to insert himself in the actions of an independent agency. However, legal scholar Jonathan Turley disputed those assertions, saying there is no legal reason a president would be precluded from learning about the investigations before the public or commenting on them, at least broadly. “These comments treat the president like he’s the bubble boy,” said Turley, a law professor at George Washington University. David Axelrod, Obama’s longtime adviser, acknowledged the White House could have acted more aggressively in “the interest of stagecraft.” But he insisted that the president’s handling of the matters will ultimately be vindicated. “One virtue he has is that he takes a long-range view,” he said. “It’s easy to get whipped up by the frenzy, but it’s responsible to react to the facts. It has short-term liabilities, but in the long-run, it’s a quality you want in a president.”

Republican foes. “If Obama really learned about the latest IRS and AP secret subpoena scandals in the news, who exactly is running the ship at the White Republican House?” Committee National spokesman Kirsten Kukowski said. But in a worrying sign for the White House, some Democrats also criticized the president for not being more aggressive in responding to trouble within the government. Robert Gibbs, Obama’s former White House press secretary, said the president should have appointed a bipartisan commission of former IRS officials to look into the issue of targeting political organizations. And Gibbs gently chided his former boss for using passive language when he first addressed the political targeting during a White House news conference Monday. “The language should be more active than phrases like ‘I didn’t have any patience for this’ or ‘If the allegations are true,” Gibbs said during an appearance on MSNBC. The pair of new fresh controversies coincided with a resurgence in the GOP-led investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Congressional Republicans launched another round of hearings on the attacks last week. And on Friday, a congres-

environment surrounding the trial that has become a cable TV sensation with its graphic tales of sex, lies and violence. “Longevity runs in my family, and I don’t want to spend the rest of my natural life in one place,” a tearful Arias said. “I believe death is the ultimate freedom, and I’d rather have my freedom as soon as I can get it.” However, Arias cannot choose the death penalty. It’s up to the jury to recommend a sentence. Arias acknowledged killing Alexander, saying it was selfdefense. She initially denied any involvement in the killing, even proclaiming to a detective after her arrest in 2008: “I’m not guilty. I didn’t hurt Travis. If I hurt Travis, I would beg for the death penalty.”

Brower’s will acknowledge the photographer on the back of each card with a photo credit (and their website, if applicable).

Syrian rebels, regime troops clash BEIRUT (AP) — Rebel fighters battled regime troops inside the walls of the sprawling central prison compound in Syria’s largest city Wednesday, hours after blowing open the gate with twin car bombs in an attempted jailbreak, activists said. The orchestrated assault began at dawn, but by nightfall, the rebels had not dislodged regime forces or freed some 4,000 prisoners held there, according to two pro-opposition monitoring groups. Across Syria, the Internet was restored after a blackout of more than eight hours, the second nationwide outage in a week. Syria’s Communications Ministry blamed a rebel bombing which it said cut a cable north of the capital of Damascus but gave no details. Earlier, the state news agency SANA had linked the outage to a technical problem. At the United Nations, the General Assembly voted 107-12 with 59 abstentions to approve an Arab-backed resolution calling for a political transition in Syria and condemning President Bashar Assad’s regime for “gross violations” of human rights. Earlier this month, the U.S. and Russia agreed on a joint push to get Syria’s political opposition and representatives of the Assad regime to negotiate a peaceful transition in Syria. An international conference, possibly to be held in early June, would help launch such talks. However, both the opposition and the regime have said they want to hear more about the agenda, the venue and the participants before signing up. The two sides remain far apart on the terms for such negotiations, with the opposition insisting Assad must step down first and the regime unwilling to commit to an open-ended cease-fire. British Prime Minister David Cameron called for urgent action to pressure the Syrian government and opposition to put forward names for a transitional government that everyone can support so

Despite the new diplomatic initiative, fighting has continued. On Wednesday, rebels launched an assault on the central prison in the northern city of Aleppo after weeks of fighting in the area, in an attempt to free some 250 regime opponents believed to be held there, according to the Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a local activist group, the Aleppo Media Center.
The attack began with two simultaneous car bombs detonated at the entrance of the prison, the Observatory said. The Observatory and the Aleppo Media Center said rebel fighters then surged into the compound and seized one of the buildings. By Wednesday evening, battles continued to rage inside the compound, the Observatory said. The group said at least 15 regime soldiers were killed, although it did not have the number of rebel casualties. Aleppo-based activist Mohammad al-Khatib said Wednesday’s attack took troops inside the prison by surprise. “Regime forces inside were caught off-guard. Rebels broke in and liberated a building where troops had been holed up,” he said via Skype. SANA denied opposition fighters entered the compound, saying
regime troops had repelled the attack. During the battle for the prison, Syrian warplanes bombed areas nearby, destroying several houses, the Aleppo Media Center said. Aleppo emerged as one of the major fronts in the country’s civil war after a rebel offensive there almost a year ago. The fighting since then has settled into a bloody stalemate. Wednesday’s Internet outage began at around 10 a.m. and service was restored more than eight hours later. Syria’s Communications Ministry blamed a bombing by rebels north of Damascus that it said cut a cable. The ministry did not provide details, and the claim could not be verified independently. Earlier, the Communications Ministry had reported that a cable
was cut near Damascus, without elaborating. On its Twitter account, SANA initially said a technical problem was to blame for the outage. James Cowie, the chief technology officer of the U.S.-based Renesys Corp., said the cause of the outage was not clear. Syrian authorities have shut off phone and Internet service in select areas in the past to disrupt rebel communications when regime forces were conducting major operations, although widespread blackouts have been rare. In a sign of the continued spillover of the Syria conflict, police in the Turkish capital of Ankara used tear gas and water cannons Wednesday to disperse hundreds of university students protesting their government’s policies on Syria. Critics have accused the government of putting Turkey at risk by supporting Syria’s insurgency. The protest came after two powerful car bombings in a town near Turkey’s border with Syria killed 51 people over the weekend. The government blamed the attacks on a group linked to Syria. At the U.N. General Assembly, support for Wednesday’s resolution was much lower than the world body’s resolution in August denouncing Syria’s crackdown on dissidents and urging a political solution. Russia, a close ally of Syria, urged a “no” vote this time, and a group of Latin American countries demanded changes which weren’t accepted to water down the resolution’s support for the Syrian National Coalition, the main opposition group. General Assembly resolutions are not binding. Critics of the resolution called it one-sided in favor of the opposition, which the Arab League is supporting, and expressed concern that it could hurt a recent U.S.-Russian agreement to convene a follow-up international meeting to promote a political transition.
Palestinians mark their 1948 displacement RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Tens of thousands of Palestinians marked the 65th anniversary of their mass displacement during the war over Israel’s 1948 creation, marching in the streets and in some parts of the West Bank clashing with Israeli security forces. Every May 15, Palestinians hold rallies to
commemorate the “nakba,” or “catastrophe” the term they use to describe the displacement, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes during the fighting. The dispute over the fate of those Palestinians and their descendants, now numbering several million people,
remains at the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The United Nations General Assembly approved a partition of British-ruled Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states in 1947. In May 1948 Israel declared independence. Israel views the Palestinians’ return as demographic suicide and
expects the displaced and their descendants to be taken in by a future Palestinian state. But intermittent Israeli-Palestinian attempts to agree on the terms of such a state have so far failed. Across the West Bank on Wednesday, sirens wailed at noon for 65 seconds to commemorate the 65 years

since the “nakba.” Thousands marched in Ramallah from the grave of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to the city center. Many wore black in a sign of mourning, holding Palestinian flags and large keys symbolizing the homes they left behind. “The right of return will not die,” chanted the protesters. Schools closed at midday and parents brought their children to the demonstration. In Ramallah, 38-year-old Manwal Awad brought her 11-year-old twins to the protest. “Every year I bring them with me to inherit the story of our nakba, and to keep the dream of return,” she said. Rallies were elsewhere in the West Bank as well, and in several places demonstrators throwing rocks clashed with Israeli security forces, who responded with tear gas, Israel’s military said. Near the volatile city of Hebron, a fire bomb hit at an Israeli military vehicle, causing it to overturn and injuring four soldiers, the military said. In east Jerusalem, Israeli police used water cannon and officers on horseback to disperse an “illegal march,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Nineteen protesters were arrested for throwing rocks and bottles at police that injured three police officers, he said. Seven other Palestinians suspected of attacking several Jews as they walked to the Western Wall in the Old City were also arrested, he
said. In Gaza, around a thousand people marched to the U.N. headquarters in Gaza City, where the demonstrators chanted: “We shall return. We will never give up or compromise over our land.” Militants in Gaza, which has been under the control of the militant Hamas group since 2007, fired a rocket into southern Israel that exploded in an open field causing no injuries, Israel’s military said. In a televised speech on Tuesday night, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinian cause earned international acceptance last year with the United Nations’ de facto recognition of a Palestinian state in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. “We won the support of the world,” Abbas said, adding that Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians are “condemned internationally.” Last year, Abbas created a stir when he told Israeli media that he himself has no wish to live in Safed, the city of his birth, in northern Israel. Although widely condemned by Palestinians, Abbas’ remarks were seen as a reflection of a decadesold understanding among Palestinian officials that likely only a limited number of refugees would ever be able to return to their original homes in Israel as part of a compromise that would result in a future peace agreement.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Sacramento Bee on overreaching federal investigation of leak to AP threatens press freedoms: Protecting national security is one thing. Fishing expeditions that could intimidate and impede important watchdog reporting are another matter entirely. The Justice Department certainly appears to have gone too far in trying to ferret out who leaked information on a secret CIA operation that foiled an al-Qaida plot to bomb a U.S.-bound airliner last year around the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden. According to The Associated Press, federal prosecutors secretly seized phone records for April and May 2012 not only from the reporters and editor involved in that story, but from more than 20 phone lines in the news cooperative’s offices in Washington, D.C., New York and Hartford, Conn., that house more than 100 journalists, as well as several of their personal phones. While the records would not reveal what was said during the calls, they would show the phone numbers of people or agencies that reporters called, potentially including whistle-blowers and confidential sources. The AP is right in calling the sweeping dragnet an unjustified and unprecedented intrusion into its newsgathering. All Americans, not just defenders of press freedom, ought to be alarmed by this threat to the First Amendment. It is eerily Nixonian in its scope — and yet another scandalous distraction in the early months of President Barack Obama’s second term. Attorney General Eric Holder, who announced last June he had appointed a U.S. attorney to probe the leak, called it one of the most serious he has seen. “It put the American people at risk — and that is not hyperbole,” he told reporters Tuesday. Holder, who removed himself from supervising the investigation because he had been questioned, nonetheless said that prosecutors have followed all department rules. Among them is that phone records from news organizations can be subpoenaed only after “all reasonable attempts” have been made to get the information from other sources. The Obama administration is telling Americans to trust its assurances that seizing so many phone records from so many reporters was proper and necessary. That’s a lot to ask. Arizona Republic on getting border-security numbers right: In the kids movie “Finding Nemo,” a small fish’s recommendation to “just keep swimming” reflects a brave and admirable trust in the future. But our nation’s “just keep building” approach to border security should be based on something a little more concrete. And it isn’t. This week’s report from the Council on Foreign Relations is not the first time that the U.S. has heard about the Department of Homeland Security’s inability to provide meaningful information about the effectiveness of two decades’ worth of border enforcement. In December, a Government Accountability Office report said the DHS missed its own deadline for establishing performance goals and measures to assess how well border-security strategies work. Last week, U.S. Border Patrol chief Michael Fisher told a Senate hearing his agency lacks “a scientific method” to determine how many people are entering the country illegally. That means they cannot accurately know what percentage of crossers are apprehended. And that matters. The Senate “Gang of Eight” immigration-reform bill — the nation’s best chance in many years of achieving meaningful reform of failed and deadly immigration policies — sets a border security “effectiveness rate” goal of catching 90 percent of those who try to come across illegally. Everyone agrees apprehensions along the southern border are down dramatically, and the DHS has made itself dizzy taking bows and talking about how the border is more secure than it has ever been. But the council’s report suggests only one-third of the decrease is due to border security. The rest is the result of the economy. What’s more, there is no good way to assess whether interior enforcement or border enforcement is more effective in deterring people from crossing the border illegally, the report says. We should know what’s more effective: 100 Border Patrol agents along the line or 100 Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigators in interior enforcement. But we don’t know.

Keep jobs safe in Ohio To the Editor: Recently, Representatives Kristina Roegner and Ron Maag proposed stripping the right of heroes such as firefighters and policemen to a safe workplace and a decent
wage. Two years ago, we the people of the state of Ohio stood up to corporate greed when we repealed Senate Bill 5. Ohioans have spent the last few years recovering from the Great Recession and we are finally bringing jobs back to our state. Yet, Roegner and Maag
ignore voters and propose “right to work” legislation, meaning less income for middle class families. What Ohio needs is more good jobs, not attempts to give workers the “right to work” for less.

DOONESBURY
Fortunately, I had more good teachers than bad ones I’ve had some bad teachers in my life — folks who shouldn’t have been given a fishing license, let alone a teaching license. From the teacher who thought the best way to teach students was by yelling at them constantly for seven hours a day to the one who would spend an entire history class teaching us about his own personal history (namely, what college degrees he had earned that we never would and how tough he was growing up) — I had some really bad ones over the years. It was the same deal in college — where I was actually offended at times I was paying for some of the “education” I was getting. I had one journalism professor who thought the best way to teach us how to design a newspaper was to design promotional pamphlets for the Columbus Zoo. Turns out he was getting paid by the zoo for our work on the pamphlets, which the zoo turned around and used in its promotions. Come to think of it, I learned more about the newspaper business in four months of working with dedicated professionals at the Troy Daily News than I did in four years with some professors looking
David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor to serve out their tenure. Fortunately, though, the good teachers I had in the 18 years from kindergarten through my second senior year of college far outweighed the bad ones. I had some truly dedicated men and women who cared about me both as a student and as a person. Along the way, I found teachers willing to nurture me mentally, spiritually and emotionally. I had English teachers in high school who truly taught me to love the written word. I had history teachers who taught me the subject could be about more than just dates to memorize. I had math teachers who actually made me not despise the subject nearly as much as I usually did. I had a second grade teacher on

whom I had a tremendous crush. For years I’ve been writing about the second grade teacher I had a crush on — but never by name. She was the first crush I ever had — and also one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She’s lived in anonymity for as long as I’ve been writing this column, however. She has been a character often talked about, but never actually in the spotlight — kind of like “Charlie” from “Charlie’s Angels.” Now that she’s retiring from teaching in a few weeks, however — thanks for everything, Mrs. Frey. You were definitely one of the good ones. The good news is there are still a number of excellent teachers remaining to carry the load as my second grade teacher whom I had a crush on heads into retirement. For the past four years, my daughter Sophie has been fortunate enough to have two incredible women teaching her in the Heywood Growth Class — Mrs. Abke and Mrs. Henn. They have done wonders with our, ahem, “headstrong” daughter. She will miss them greatly. And next week, our son Max will graduate from Sun, Moon &
Stars preschool in Troy. Two and a half years ago, my sister Julie went to one of the teachers — someone she had known in high school — and asked her if the preschool would welcome an autistic child with almost no language skills. Miss Cherryl and Miss Andrea not only accepted Max as a student — they accepted him as a family member. They made sure Max was never treated any different than any other students. When he couldn’t speak, they would step up and speak for him. When he had difficulty mastering a task, they held his hand every step of the way. Forget about being good teachers — they are simply good human beings. Leaving them is going to break the hearts of every single person in our family. As another school year winds down, good riddance to the bad teachers out there — but much more than that, thank you to the many more good ones.

Try this delicious strawberry glaze Our garden is beginning to fill up more and more. So far we have potatoes, onions, peas, lettuce, radishes, red beets, carrots and dill planted. We hope to get time to plant corn, green beans, and zucchini this week yet. I’ll wait until next week to put out any tomato and pepper plants. The seeds we planted last week, though, are up already. My husband Joe planted potatoes in a different way this year. He laid them on top of the soil and covered them thickly with straw. From what we have heard from people that do this, the potatoes do very well. The straw when watered down will keep a lot of moisture in dry weather. It also helps keep the weeds down. Friday evening we had to get the veterinarian out here to help our horse Itty Bit deliver twin foals but both were dead. We were disappointed but glad we could save Itty Bit. This is rare that we have two horses having full term twins 9 days apart. Itty Bit is Ginger’s mother, so they both have the same genes. Can any

of you readers give us information on horses having twins? What percentage of horses have twins and what percentage of them will live? Ginger was able to deliver hers without a problem. Itty Bit also isdoing well since the delivery. Our miniature pony, little Prancer, also is doing real well. When daughter Susan takes Minnie for a ride, the other children can keep him entertained enough so Prancer won’t follow them. When Minnie comes back, it’s so cute to see Prancer run up to her and start nursing before she has her harness off. Daughter, Lovina, 8, spends hours with the miniature ponies. Susan is training a pony named
Sunny. Lovina can ride and drive Sunny now. It won’t be long until Sunny is ready to go back to its owner. Tomorrow is Ascension Day, so my husband Joe and daughter Elizabeth won’t have to go to work. They are both glad for the break. Elizabeth is working 10 hour days again. The children will stay home from school on Ascension Day, which will be a relaxing family day in honor of our Savior’s ascension to Heaven. We attended church services Sunday at our neighbors Joas and Susan’s house. We were invited back for the evening meal. Our turn to host church services will be June 2, Lord willing. That day will come up fast, so we are trying to get a lot of cleaning done. Sister Emma and her daughter Elizabeth came to help us clean the canning room in the basement yesterday. Taking all the canned jars off the shelves and cleaning them and putting them back on is time consuming.It really does look refreshed in there now. Daughter Susan wants
to clean out the cabinets in the basement today. While she does that, I will sew her dress, cape and apron that she needs for a wedding next Thursday. Mose and Susan and Timothy and Elizabeth will be tablewaiters at the wedding. Elizabeth sewed most of her dress on Saturday, but still needs to finish it. I will close for this time as my work will not get done sitting here writing. Try this delicious glaze on your next angel food cake.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Yes: Notify park leader about the dog attack Dear Annie: I have an 8month-old puppy, and I take her to a local dog park so she can run off leash and play with the other dogs, which she loves. In the three months I have been taking her, "Phoebe" has never been attacked or fought with another dog. That was until last night, when Phoebe approached another dog that was on a leash and that dog attacked her. My puppy whimpered and howled while being bitten on her neck and back. I tried to get her away, but the other dog was so vicious. The owner of the other dog just stood there making no effort to pull his dog away, nor did he apologize. I finally extracted Phoebe from the other dog's mouth. As I was walking away, the owner said he doesn't know why his dog doesn't like other dogs. I was too shaken to reply. Besides, I felt sorry for the vicious dog, wondering what could have happened to make him like that. Luckily, Phoebe was not severely injured. I did my best to soothe her, but it took several minutes to calm her down. Before I left the park, I warned other owners about the dog that attacked mine. Why would someone bring a dog that hates other dogs to a dog park? There is a gentleman who arranged for the park to exist and is the "leader." Should I tell him what happened? I don't want to get the park shut down, which is why I didn't call the police. What do I do? — Phoebe's Human Mom Dear Mom: If the park has a "leader," then he is the person to notify. This owner seems ignorant of dog behavior and may have been trying to "socialize" his dog by bringing the animal to a petfriendly park. But it sounds as if that dog needs training. It would be a kindness for someone to point that out to him and make a referral before an animal is seriously hurt. Dear Annie: As an alcoholic in recovery, it was interesting to me to observe the self-righteousness in my family about my addiction as they went through their heart surgeries stemming from their addictions to chocolate cake, bacon and cherry pies. They are just as addicted to food as I am to alcohol. They say it's "different," but how is it more legitimate to grab a doughnut when under stress than to pour myself a cocktail? In spite of their heart surgeries and the struggle of carrying 300 pounds on a body designed for 150, they somehow see slamming down a cherry cobbler as acceptable, but my having a beer is a sin. Moderation in all aspects of our lives might not be a bad idea. — No Hypocrite in Paducah, Ky. Dear Paducah: Addictions, regardless of type, involve the inability to control one's appetite, whether it be for food, drugs, liquor, gambling, whatever. Unlike most other addictions, however, one cannot give up food altogether. So while we agree that there is hypocrisy, and of course moderation is best, there is in fact a difference between food, which is necessary for life, and alcohol, which is not. Imagine how much harder it would be to control your addiction if you were told that you absolutely must have three shots a day, but not a fourth. Or a beer. Or a replacement from the well-stocked pantry. Not an excuse, mind you. Just an observation. Dear Annie: I agree with "Retired Teacher" about high school guidance counselors. She is right on the money. Guidance counselors are not in schools to assist students with personal problems. That isn't even in their job description. Their primary function is to advise students about the courses they need to graduate. After that, a multitude of assessment responsibilities fill their time. While many may wish they could counsel to the emotional well-being of their students, they simply don't have the time. — K.

Pitt: It was important for Jolie to go public
Chong: legalized marijuana could save country
NEW YORK (AP) — Brad Pitt says it was important for his partner, Angelina Jolie, to share her story about having her breasts removed to avoid cancer “and that others would understand it doesn’t have to be a scary thing.” In an interview published Wednesday in USA Today, the actor said: “In fact, it can be an empowering thing, and something that makes you stronger and makes us stronger.” Jolie revealed Tuesday in an op-ed article in The New York Times that she had a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction for an inherited gene mutation that put her at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer. “It’s such a wonderful relief to come through this and not have a specter hanging over our heads,” Pitt said. To know that that’s not going t”o be something that’s going to affect us. My most proudest thing is our family. This isn’t going to get that.”
NEW YORK — The Grammy Award-winning comedy duo Cheech and Chong based their 42-year career on counterculture humor with a particular emphasis on marijuana use. But these days Tommy Chong sees the recreational drug as something more than fodder for jokes about stoned hippies. The 74-year-old comedian thinks legalizing marijuana on a federal level would offer numerous benefits, including a boost to the U.S. economy if it were taxed. “Look at the situation we’re in now. Sequesters. Cuts. Everything cut across the board. Now, the government is tapped into the biggest cash crop in the world,” Chong said. “There’s little manufacturing cost. You don’t have to do anything except watch it grow and get a couple of hippies to cut it and then put it in a bag.” Chong’s comedy partner, Richard “Cheech” Marin, 66, thinks legalization will come in the next couple of years.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Deter danger of unattached items Dear Readers: Is the furniture in your home a possible hazzard to young children? Did you know that TVs, appliances and furniture falling on children is an extreme hazard? According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, every two weeks (on average) a child dies from an unsecured item tipping over and landing on him or her. Here are some hints on how to prevent this tragedy from occurring in your home: • TVs should be securely hung (on a wall) out of reach, or placed on a stable, secure stand or base, and as far back as possible. • Keep electrical cords out of reach so children cannot pull them and the objects attached to them
Hints from Heloise Columnist onto themselves. • Anchor ANY furniture, such as TV stands, bookcases and dressers, or any other high, heavy, freestanding furniture or appliance, to the wall so it cannot fall over. • Don’t place small items on the furniture that a child might try to reach for (such as remote controls). — Heloise
FREE CARDBOARD Dear Heloise: At the big warehouse stores where merchandise (especially cereal boxes, etc.) is stacked on pallets, the stores put large cardboard pieces between each layer of merchandise. These make great poster board for kids’ art projects, science reports and other projects. The best part is that they are free! — Gloria H. in California Gloria, you are right! Two warehouse stores that were contacted said absolutely! One asked that you call ahead so that cardboard can be set aside, because the pieces don’t stay around for long. The other store stated that a customer can just take what he or she
finds while walking around the store shopping. The cardboard is free for members, but one store reuses it in the store, and the other recycles it when not needed. — Heloise NECKLACE HOLDER Dear Heloise: Years ago, a friend, after seeing all my necklaces tangled in a drawer, gave me an idea: Why not take the “head” off an old-fashioned rake? We did, painted it and hung it on my bedroom wall. The end of it has twisted metal to form a hole, which makes it easy to put a nail through. Hang it so the “teeth” face out, and then hang your necklaces on the teeth to keep tangles away. — Virginia J. in New Jersey

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE Thursday, May 16, 2013 You could be especially fortunate in the year ahead when selling or promoting unusual products, methods or systems. Two or more partners could render you much assistance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You might get a surprising opportunity to make a welcome change. Act quickly, however; the chance won’t come again soon. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You could hear from a friend regarding an idea that he or she has been toying with. It could be just what you need in your life right now. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Although Lady Luck might help you meet a financial or career goal, she won’t put up with dilly-dallying. Once you make up your mind, you must move immediately. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — A commercial arrangement isn’t likely to be conducted along conventional lines, but it still could turn out to be profitable, both materially and educationally. Give it a shot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You have your own unique way of handling something, and you shouldn’t have to feel bad about it. Don’t let the naysayers get you down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’ll get a chance to team up with someone new. The partnership could result in some unusual benefits. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If you’ve been stymied by delays on an important project, don’t hesitate to discard old methods. Try something new and shake things up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to keep your calendar as unstructured as possible. An exciting, spur-of-the-moment development is likely to pop up. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — An upturn in your financial affairs could suddenly and unexpectedly occur. This shift is likely to prove helpful in more ways than one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re likely to be better equipped to handle abstract situations than concrete ones. Focus your attention on areas that offer the best possibilities for success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The possibility of generating substantial returns from your usual source of income looks good. The same might not be true from other channels, however. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — A pleasant surprise is in the offing concerning a unique social opportunity. If you want to take advantage of it, however, you must respond.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, May 16, the 136th day of 2013. There are 229 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 16, 1943, the nearly month-long Warsaw Ghetto Uprising came to an end as German forces crushed the Jewish resistance and blew up the Great Synagogue. An estimated 7,000 Jews were killed during the uprising, while about 7,000 others were summarily executed. The remaining Jews, more than 40,000 of them, were deported to concentration camps. On this date: • In 1770, Marie Antoinette, age
14, married the future King Louis XVI of France, who was 15. • In 1920, Joan of Arc was canonized by Pope Benedict XV. • In 1939, the government began its first food stamp program in Rochester, N.Y. • Five years ago: President George W. Bush visited Saudi Arabia, where he failed to win help from Saudi leaders to relieve skyrocketing American gas prices. Osama bin Laden said in an audio statement that al-Qaida would continue its holy war against Israel and its allies until the liberation of Palestine.
• One year ago: Gen. Ratko Mladic went on trial at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands, accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor George Gaynes is 96. Actor Bill Smitrovich is 66. Actor Pierce Brosnan is 60. Actress Debra Winger is 58. Olympic gold medal gymnast Olga Korbut is 58. Actress Mare Winningham is 54. Singer Janet Jackson is 47.

Teams dig for miners trapped in cave-in 25 workers still trapped inside collapsed mine TIMIKA, Indonesia (AP) — Mining activities at a giant U.S.owned gold and copper mine in Indonesia were halted Wednesday as rescuers using jacks, saws and wheelbarrows dug through a caved-in mine tunnel looking for about 25 trapped workers, the mine operator said. Four bodies have been found and 10 miners rescued since the cave-in occurred Tuesday morning. Oxygen was being pumped into the tunnel as the search continued, but the status of the trapped workers was not known. Heavy equipment cannot be used in the tight space, forcing rescuers to remove debris by hand, according to a statement from PT Freeport Indonesia, a subsidiary that runs the Grasberg mine in remote Mimika district in Papua, the easternmost province in the vast archipelago nation. The mine is owned by Phoenix, Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. “We don’t want to be careless because the terrain surrounding the old tunnel is prone to collapse,” said Papua police spokesman Lt. Col. Gede Sumerta Jaya. All of the workers are men, and many of those rescued suffered cuts and broken bones, Sumerta said. He said the cause of the cavein was unclear. An investigation team from the Indonesian mines and energy ministry was sent to the site, senior ministry official Thamrin Sihite said. Meanwhile, hundreds of
workers blocked a main road about two miles (three kilometers) from the accident site in solidarity with the victims. “We need a guarantee from the management for our safety in working underground,” said Ronald Waromi, an action organizer. The company said 39 employees and contract workers were inside a classroom in the tunnel undergoing safety training when the accident happened. Three workers escaped from the mine — unhurt — on their own. Instructor Kristian Sitepu was standing in front of the 5-by11-meter (16-by-36-foot) classroom explaining rescue procedures during an emergency when he heard rumbling above the ceiling. When rocks started falling, he and those seated in the front row ran and managed to escape unhurt. However, he said others were trapped after the only exit quickly filled with rocks and soil. Some were hit and crushed while trying to get out. “They were trapped and shouting for help … but I couldn’t do anything,” Sitepu said. “It hurt me.” He said rescuers arrived a few minutes later with jacks to try to stabilize the tunnel. Sihite said the training room was built 15 years ago, and about 80 percent of it is now covered by debris. The tunnel itself is about 50 meters (165 feet) long and has five offices, a dining room and three classrooms. In Jakarta, President Director of PT Freeport

Workers gather in solidarity for their colleagues who were trapped after the roof of the tunnel collapsed at a Freeport Indonesia mine in Mimika, Papua province, Indonesia, Wednesday. Indonesia Rozik B. Soetjipto said mining activities were halted for one day Wednesday to pay respect to the victims and to concentrate on rescue operations. The company has deployed 200 rescuers who are working with others from government agencies to search for the victims, Soetjipto told a news conference. More than 20,000 workers are employed at the mine. In 2011, production was crippled when 8,000 unionized employees walked off the job after demanding higher pay. The strike ended after the company agreed to a 37 percent wage hike and improved benefits. The restive province holds some of the world’s largest gold and copper reserves.

Frazier Park fire burns 750 acres in California FRAZIER PARK, Calif. (AP) — Despite a heavy aerial effort, a fire quickly blackened 750 acres Wednesday, taking the blaze into the Los Padres National Forest where dry, thick trees were expected to compound the firefight. The fire near Interstate 5 through Frazier Park, where Kern and northern
Los Angeles counties meet, led firefighters to evacuate a high school as a precaution, in case the winds shifted, and the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area, said Kern County Fire spokesman Corey Wilford. Five air tankers and four helicopters made steady drops on the fire. The fire of unknown cause started
just before 1:30 p.m. and initially burned thick brush, seasonal grasses and sage, Wilford said, but then moved into the meatier trees. Winds were blowing at a sustained 10 mph with gusts of 20 mph, he said. Firefighters from Kern, Ventura and Los Angeles counties, the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest
Service were battling the blaze. One road through the area was closed, however, Interstate 5 remained open. The fire was threatening several power transmission lines running through the area. No other structures were threatened and there were no injuries, Wilford said.

O.J. Simpson testifies in bid for new Vegas trial LAS VEGAS (AP) — His leg shackles rattling as he shuffled to and from the witness stand, O.J. Simpson made his own case Wednesday for a new trial on armed robbery charges with testimony that he relied on the advice of his trusted attorney when he tried to reclaim mementos from his football glory days. “It was my stuff. I followed what I thought was the law,” the 65-year-old former NFL star and actor said. “My lawyer told me I couldn’t break into a guy’s room. I didn’t break into anybody’s room. I didn’t try to muscle the guys. The guys had my stuff, even though they claimed they didn’t steal it.” Simpson said he took the advice of his longtime former lawyer, Yale Galanter, and didn’t testify in his Las Vegas trial at which he was convicted in 2008 of armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison. His fall from long-ago fame and fortune was on display as a grayer, bulkier Simpson made his way through the courtroom. The Heisman Trophy college running back and NFL record-setter once made TV commercials running through airports. As Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, he’s been handcuffed and chained at the ankles during a hearing on his claim that he was poorly represented by his attorney during the trial. His physician, Henry Johnson, watched and said Simpson appeared to be in good health. H. Leon Simon, attorney for the state, conducted a brief cross-examination that focused on some of the same details Simpson attorney Patricia Palm raised about advice Simpson received from his trial lawyers, Galanter and co-counsel Gabriel Grasso. “Mr. Galanter advised me not to testify,” Simpson reiterated. “You made a decision to follow Mr. Galanter’s advice, rather than Mr. Grasso’s, and not testify?” Simon asked. “Yes,” Simpson said. Simpson did acknowledge that he didn’t have a legal right to take some things from the Palace Station hotel room where he and five men confronted two sports memorabilia dealers including baseballs signed by Pete Rose and Duke Snyder and lithographs of football great Joe Montana. Simpson said he thought those items would be returned later. He said he didn’t remember taking a hat from one of the dealers. Earlier, under detailed questioning by Palm, Simpson seemed to describe every minute of a weekend that began with plans for a friend’s wedding and ended with him under arrest. He said he knew the memorabilia dealers, had no fear of them and certainly didn’t need guns. “There was no talk of guns at all,” he said. Simpson declared he never even saw guns during the confrontation. During the trial, two former co-defendants who testified for the prosecution said they had guns. Simpson’s bid for freedom hinges on showing that Galanter had conflicted interests and gave him bad trial and appellate advice. Galanter, of Miami, is due to testify Friday. He has declined comment ahead of that appearance. “He was my guy,” Simpson said of his long friendship and professional relationship with Galanter. He said Galanter told him he was within his legal rights to take back possessions as long as there was no violence or

Grasso has said it was Galanter who convinced Simpson not to testify. While the trial prosecutor testified earlier that there were preliminary discussions with Galanter about a plea bargain, Simpson testified he was never told a bargain was under consideration and that he did not remember any offer being given to him at trial. Asked by Palm if he knew he could have gotten as little as 30 months in prison if he pleaded guilty to robbery, Simpson said no, and that he would have considered it if he had known. Simpson also said Galanter led him to believe he could not be convicted on the charges. “If you understood you could be convicted on the state’s evidence, would you have testified?” Palm asked. Simpson said yes. Dressed in a drab blue prison uniform, Simpson spoke clearly as he recounted events leading to the hotel room where the dealers had the memorabilia. His voice cracked a bit as he told of recognizing items on the bed, including framed photos that used to hang on the wall of his Los Angeles home. “Look at this stuff. Some of the stuff I didn’t really realize was gone. These were things I hadn’t seen in 10 years,” he said. “You know, you get a little emotional about it.” There is no jury in the hearing and Simpson’s fate will be determined by District Judge Linda Marie Bell. It remained unclear Wednesday whether the judge plans to make an immediate ruling or issue a written order later. While Simpson’s previous court cases were media events, including his 1995 acquittal in the Los Angeles killings of his ex-wife and her friend, there were empty seats in the Las Vegas courtroom for the first two days of the hearing. But on Wednesday, the courtroom was full, with Simpson family members and friends in the second row. A marshal turned people away, sending them to an overflow room where video was streamed live. Still, the scene was much tamer than in the past. “This is less hoopla than I expected. It’s real toned down,” said Wyatt Skaggs, a retired defense attorney visiting from Laramie, Wyo.
linked to high hopes for Abe’s policies, which have been dubbed “Abenomics.” A sharp decline in the value of the Japanese yen, brought on both by monetary easing and by expectations of further easing, has helped some exporters and provided a windfall in yen terms for companies repatriating overseas earnings. But it is also raising costs for many companies that depend heavily on imports of natural gas and other commodities. Apart from share prices, Japan’s manufacturing and employment showed slight improvements in March, buttressing hopes that the economy may be headed for a moderate recovery. The central bank, which is committed to 2 percent inflation within two years, says it expects a moderate recovery by midyear but has warned that uncertainties in the domestic and global economies could foil those hopes. Abe needs fast results as ammunition in an election for the upper house of parliament in July, a vote that will determine his Liberal Democratic Party’s chances for pushing through with other policy priorities, such
as revision of Japan’s warrenouncing constitution. Critics of the Abenomics strategy question whether the extra funding pumped into the economy will foster sustainable growth or just push up prices for shares and other assets. Key to the success of the policies will be increased spending by households and corporations, partly due to expectations that prices will rise. So far, increases in spending have been attributed mainly to luxury purchases by share investors splashing out after seeing gains in their portfolios. Analysts had generally forecast a 2.7 percent to 2.8 percent increase in GDP in January-March and slightly lower quarter-on-quarter growth. Much of the growth in the first quarter of the year came from public demand: government spending on reconstruction from Japan’s March 2011 tsunami disaster and other public works. Private demand has been fueled by a recovery in housing investment, which has picked up sharply as purchasers rush to beat expected increases in sales taxes in the coming two years.

Japanese economy grew at 3.5 percent pace in 1Q TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s economy enjoyed a stronger than expected recovery last quarter, growing at a 3.5 percent annual pace as the government stepped up public works spending and eased credit to encourage investment. The data for January to March showed the world’s third-largest economy grew 0.9 percent on a quarterly basis, the fastest pace in a year, compared with revised 0.3 percent growth in the final quarter of 2012, as Japan inched its way out of recession. The figures were reported by the Cabinet Office on Thursday. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in late December vowing to help the economy recover from two decades of deflationary malaise. His policies have helped push share prices to their highest levels in over five years, fueled by strong liquidity and expectations of improved profitability for listed companies. The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock index rose to 15,139.56 early Thursday before falling back slightly on profit taking. It has gained about 75 percent since November in a rally

“The defense helps out a lot. I mean, I couldn’t do it without the defense,” said Kiesewetter, who finished the game with 10 strikeouts. “Knowing that the defense is making the plays we need to make behind you, it makes it a lot easier out on the mound.” Christine Heisey scored the lone run for Milton-Union in the top of the first. But the Bulldogs left Kayla Smith stranded on the basepath as Kiesewetter fanned the final two batters of the inning.

East advances; TC, Bethel ousted Staff Reports
MIAMI COUNTY
CASSTOWN — Miami East couldn’t have started the postseason in better fashion. The Vikings tallied seven runs in the first inning Wednesday against Northwestern, scoring all the runs they’d need in the first two frames in a 10-0 run-rule victory to start the Division III sectional tournament. “We talked about being ready to play, coming prepared to play from the start,” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. “The kids came out and hit the ball well. You could tell they were very serious about the game.” Michael Fellers was 2 for 3
with a double and a triple, Braxton Donaldson was 2 for 2 and Garrett Mitchell doubled as the Vikings plated 10 runs on seven hits, making the most of their chances. Mitchell took that and ran with it on the mound, striking out three, walking two and giving up only three hits in a shutout. “Garrett threw well, and we turned a couple of nice double plays behind him,” Coomes said. “The defense was solid.” Miami East plays Triad or Northridge May 22 in the sectional title game at Urbana.

hit into two double plays. That gave the crowd of 14,866 little to cheer about, and the biggest roars came when highlights of the Miami Heat’s playoff victory over the Chicago Bulls two miles away were shown on the video scoreboard. The Marlins were shut out for the seventh time, most in the majors. Cincinnati climbed a season-high eight games above .500 and improved to 5-1 against Miami, which has lost four in a row. The Marlins fell to 010 this year with the retractable roof open in
their stadium. The ball carries better in those conditions, and Choo twice sent it flying off Alex Sanabia (2-6). Choo homered into the nightclub beyond the leftfield fence, then pulled a homer into the Marlins’ bullpen in right field. He also led off the game with a single and scored on a double by NL RBI leader Brandon Phillips. Choo’s four hits tied a career high, and he raised his average to .322. Joey Votto added two hits and an RBI for the Reds, who improved to 20-6 when they score first.

Indians club Phillies, 10-4 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Corey Kluber inspired his teammates with a tough at-bat his first time up to the plate in the majors. Jason Kipnis hit a three-run homer, Nick Swisher and Mike Aviles also went deep to back Kluber, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-4 Wednesday. Kluber (3-2) gave up three runs and six hits in six innings. But it was his first career AB against Cole Hamels in the second inning that set the tone. Kluber fouled off consecutive 1-2 pitches and worked the count full before flying out to deep left. “I guess that’s beginner’s luck,” he said. Maybe so, but it made the hitters adjust their
approach. “Corey woke us up, having the best at-bat in the first couple innings,” Kipnis said. “We did a nice job not chasing his pitches. That’s an approach we try to take against everyone. We want to see some pitches, get quality at-bats.” Hamels needed 91 pitches to get through four innings and reached 100 in the fifth. “We drove his pitch count up early,” manager Terry Francona said. “We made him earn his outs and we scored early. It’s great to work the count and have something to show for it.” A day after rookie Jonathan Pettibone held the Indians in check, Hamels got roughed up by one of the league’s highestscoring offenses.
Milton-Union’s Kayla Smith reaches first base Wednesday against Miami East. ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 Miami East pulled even in the bottom of the third, courtesy of an RBI single by Lindsey Brookhart, which scored Kris Bigelow, who led off the inning with a bunt single. Two innings later, the Vikings took the lead for good. With two outs in home fifth, Olivia Edgell walked, then Brookhart advanced her to third with a wind-assisted double. Kiesewetter walked to load the bases, before Christine Bowling drove home Edgell with a single. Moments later, Brookhart scored on a passed ball to put East up 3-1. Following the first inning, Kiesewetter had four straight one-twothree innings before Milton-Union attempted their own two-out rally in the sixth. Kayla Smith reached base on one of two Miami East errors on the day, then Ashley Smith had an infield hit to put runners on first and second. That rally, however, was killed on another K by Kiesewetter to end the inning. And she wasn’t done yet. After Milton’s Brittany Courtright led off the top of the seventh with a single, Kiesewetter finished off the game with three consecutive strikeouts to put the Vikings in the Division III sectional finals, where they will face Versailles at Brookville Monday. “We expected coming in that it was going to be tight, and pressure filled, and that’s exciting about the tournament,” Miami East coach Brian Kadel said. “That’s the kind of game they were looking for, so it was fun.” “(Winning) feels amaz-

It’s amazing to do this, especially my senior year. We have six seniors on the team, so it’s great.” Milton-Union coach Kurt Schafer came in with a plan to throw every pitcher they had at Miami East. For the most part, it worked. Anna Wilson started the game and came back in the fifth to take the loss. Claire Fetters, Chloe Smith, who was on the mound in the third when East plated its first run, and Ashley Smith all saw time pitching, as well. “We came in with a gameplan, and the gameplan worked, other than we didn’t get a few timely hits when we needed them,” Schafer said. “We tried to keep the batters off-balance by using a different pitcher every inning, and I thought they worked. There was a couple plays that weren’t made that probably should have been made. “Other than that, I can’t be ashamed of anything my girls did today. I knew if we won this game it would have been a cata-

The season didn’t go how I planned, we thought we would only have three or four losses coming in to tournament, and we end with 13 or 14 losses. We just couldn’t take care of the ball. But I thought we played well at the end, and I have nothing to be
ashamed of.” Brookhart led the Vikings at the plate, going a perfect 3 for 3 on the day. Milton-Union, however, managed just three hits against Kiesewetter.

U.S., Iran, Russia unite to save Olympic wrestling NEW YORK (AP) — Iran’s wrestling team visited the United States for the first time in a decade and found a virtual home meet. The fans waving Iranian flags and stomping on the temporary bleachers were treated to a show of dominance by the wrestling power Wednesday in the exhibition at Grand Central Terminal. Iran beat the Americans 6-1. “It’s typical Iranian. Wherever we go, they do the same thing,” twotime world champion Mehdi Taghavi Kermani said through a translator
after winning his match at 145 pounds. The fans’ chanting and horn-blowing echoed off the intricate patterns on the ceiling high above and through the curtains separating Vanderbilt Hall from the commuters rushing home to the suburbs. The event dubbed “The Rumble on the Rails” marked the fourth straight year a New York City landmark was transformed into a wrestling meet to raise money for charity, with the last two in Times Square. But this one took on added significance
beyond supporting wrestling nonprofit Beat the Streets. In February, the International Olympic Committee recommended that the sport be dropped starting with the 2020 Games. So there were the United States, Iran and Russia all together Wednesday, hoping the IOC takes to heart the symbolism of the three nations peacefully sharing a wrestling mat. The Americans swept five freestyle matches from the Russians later in the day. Iran also will face the U.S. in Los Angeles on
Sunday. Wrestling is now one of eight sports seeking to fill one spot in the 2020 Olympics. The IOC board will meet May 29 in Russia to recommend a short list, with the final decision in September. “This is what we’re trying to do right now,” said 22-year-old Kyle Dake, who could be an American star of the 2020 Olympics. “This is how we’re going to save Olympic wrestling.” The youngster was the lone bright spot for the U.S. against Iran. At 163 pounds, he beat veteran Hassan Tahmasebi,
who’s almost 10 years older, in his first major senior-level international match. In March, Dake became the first wrestler to win NCAA titles in four weight classes. College wrestling uses folkstyle, and Dake hadn’t competed in freestyle in more than a year before Wednesday. Both his periods were scoreless and went to a leg clinch, and he won the first despite losing the ball draw. “It was really loud in there. Feels like we were in Tehran,” he joked. “What’s going on?
Where’s our USA folks?” They got going chanting “U-S-A U-S-A!!” during the Americans’ second meet of the day. Some of the top U.S. wrestlers, including Olympic champ Jordan Burroughs, took the mat against Russia, which did not send its best lineup. Burroughs remained undefeated, though he needed three periods to beat Saba Khubetzhty at 163 pounds and cracked a molar in a headlock. “I had a filling in this tooth, and it’s somewhere out there on the mat,” he said with a laugh.

Tennis ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 doubles team advanced to Saturday’s sectional semifinal round and qualified for next week’s district tournament Wednesday in Troy. Of the local qualifiers, the road was most difficult for Schmitt — the only unseeded member of the group. Schmitt cruised past Northmont’s Andrew Dorsten 6-1, 6-0 before running into the No. 4 seed, Butler’s Kyle Teague. But Schmitt, who reached the district level as one half of a doubles team last year, drew on some of that experience and pulled out a hard-fought 7-5, 6-4 win to advance to the quarterfinals. “That was glorious, that’s all I’ve got to say about that,” Schmitt said of the win. “Singles is a lot different. When you play by yourself, it’s more psychological. Keeping your composure — even though I’m not really that good at it — is the key. “For some people, it’s easy. But for me, it’s pretty hard. I get mad at myself pretty easy, and once it starts it just snowballs. But if I can keep it to just yelling — and not hitting balls — I can pull out of it.” But it actually got to that point in his quarterfinal match against Springfield’s Nick Pavlatos. After Schmitt went up 5-2 in the first set, Pavlatos played solid and fought back to tie it at 5-5. Instead of sinking further, though, Schmitt was able to pull out of the tailspin, win the next two games to close out the first set and put away a 7-5, 6-2 win. “For Chris, it was a tremendous day,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “To beat the No. 4 seed and then beat Springfield’s top singles player, that’s big.” Oaks, the top seed in the bracket, made short work of his first three rounds. He beat Butler’s Morissi Ramirez, Springfield’s Humza Aamir-Khan and Greenville’s Javi Bixler all by 6-0, 6-0 scores. “Today was pretty easy. I’m looking forward to some tougher matches on Saturday,” Oaks said. And he’s had some tougher matches recently. In the past three weeks, he’s gone three sets — and more than three hours — twice and come away the victor. “When you’re not playing well and can come back and win, that’s a testament to your dedication,” Oaks said of those matches. “Going through that has prepared me for any tougher matches later on.” His next match will be tough for a number of reasons — he faces teammate Schmitt in the semifinal round Saturday. In the bottom half of the bracket, Tippecanoe’s Bollinger, the No. 2 seed, also cruised to the semis, knocking off Troy’s Jesse Wright 6-0, 6-0,

Troy’s Chris Schmitt returns the ball to an opponent at the Division I sectional tournament Wednesday at Troy Community Park.
Tippecanoe’s Phillip Bullard hits Wednesday at Troy Community Park. Brandon Tecumseh’s Pursiful 6-1, 6-0 and Fairborn’s Jon Long 6-0, 60 to advance. And the Tippecanoe senior — who was the Devils’ lone district qualifier in their first year in D-I last season — looked strong in doing so, having added some pop to his already lethal counterpunching style. “I’ve got a harder first serve, a little harder second serve, and I’m working on hitting stronger forehands,” Bollinger said. “I’m just hoping to get a good seed and win a match at district.” “Sam started off a little sluggish this year,” Tippecanoe coach Von Clendenen said. “Last year coming into the sectional, he had some issues with his back and legs. But in these past two weeks, I’ve seen two-step growth out of him.” Keller and Belcher, meanwhile, knew what they wanted to do this postseason before the preseason even began. “We made the plan to play doubles together before the season started,”

Keller said. “We switched every other match during the regular season, one playing singles and one playing doubles.” “And that definitely helped us,” Belcher said. Keller and Belcher, the No. 3 seed, routed Tecumseh 6-0, 6-0 and Piqua 6-0, 6-0 to coast into the district tournament. “Those guys both went down to the district tournament last year to watch Sam,” Clendenen said. “After seeing the level the singles players there played at, they both decided to play doubles together. So the whole year, we went back and forth, with one of them playing second singles and one playing first doubles every other day. “A lot of the time, the kids or even the parents would have a problem with that. But it was their decision. If it was something that was decided for them, they may have grudgingly done it. But since it was their decision, they’re more excited about it. It made it a lot easier on them both.” They’ll play the top seed, Butler’s David Scher and Justin Kopronica, in
Saturday’s semifinal. In singles play, Tippecanoe freshman Phillip Bullard beat Stebbins’ John Szanto 6-1, 6-1 in a preliminary match before falling to Trotwood’s Hank Grinner 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, while Doug Lehmkuhl lost to Sidney’s Dan Temple 63, 6-3 in a preliminary match. After beating Tippecanoe’s Jon Lin and Adam Southers 6-3, 6-4 in a preliminary match and knocking off Trotwood 6-3, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals, Troy’s Alexander and Stutz ran into the fourthseeded team from Butler, Gary Jess and Alex Anderson. After falling behind 5-2 in the first set, Stutz and Alexander rallied to win it 7-5 — and rode that momentum to a 4-1 second-set lead. But Butler turned things around and took a 6-5 lead, forcing the Trojans to once again come from behind. They did, forcing a tiebreaker, but Butler eventually won that tiebreaker 8-6 and won the first five games of the third set to finish off a 5-7, 7-6 (6), 6-2 win. “They’re a good team, and we had our chances against them. That’s all you can hope for,” Goldner said. “We did not get off to a good start in the third set. The momentum of those first two sets was wild, and they just didn’t have anything left.” Wright defeated Trotwood’s Emir Moore 61, 7-5 in a prelim before falling to Bollinger, and the doubles team of Hidekazu Asami and Matt Schmitt fell to Greenville 6-2, 6-2. “I was happy with everybody’s efforts,” Goldner said. “First doubles walks out the most disappointed, but to go three sets against a seeded team was good for them. Everyone played really well.” The semfinals kick off at 9 a.m. Saturday at Troy Community Park.
Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade (3) passes as Chicago Bulls’ Joakim Noah (13) looks on during the first half of Game 5 of an Eastern Conference semifinal Wednesday in Miami.
Strong start, finish leads Heat past Bulls MIAMI (AP) — A fast start and faster finish were enough to send the Miami Heat back to the Eastern Conference finals. LeBron James scored 23 points, Dwyane Wade added 18 and the Heat rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 94-91 on Wednesday night and close out their secondround series in five games. Chris Bosh scored 12 points and Udonis Haslem added 10 for Miami, which ran out to a 22-4 lead, then was outscored by a whopping 29 points over the next 27 minutes before recovering. The Heat outscored the Bulls 25-14 in the fourth. Carlos Boozer finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds for the Bulls, who were without Derrick Rose for the 99th straight game. Nate Robinson and Jimmy Butler missed potential tying 3-pointers on the final possession of the season for Chicago, which dropped the last four games of the series. Robinson scored 21 points, Butler had 19, and Richard Hamilton 15 for the Bulls. And there was drama, all the way to the end. Robinson’s 3-pointer with 1:43 left got the Bulls to 94-91, and Butler knocked the ball away from Chris Bosh for a turnover on the ensuing Miami possession. But Boozer missed an open 15-footer with about a minute remaining and, when Wade knocked the ball off Boozer’s leg after
a Miami miss with 45 seconds left, the Heat retained possession with a fresh shot clock to boot. But Miami didn’t score, and the Bulls had a final chance. Robinson missed a 3, and Butler faked his way free for a good look that hit the rim, before bouncing away. Time expired, and the Heat lingered on the court in celebration. Wade held on to the game ball as he shook a few fans’ hands, and he, James and Bosh exchanged some high-fives the last three Miami players to leave the floor. Shane Battier opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer to get Miami within five. Another 3pointer from Battier over Boozer, his fellow Duke alum came not long afterward, and he connected on a pair of free throws after being fouled on a 3point try to cut Chicago’s lead to 81-79. Norris Cole had a pair of baskets, the second being a left-handed driving dunk, to put Miami on top, and the Heat found a way to close it out from there. Miami will open the East finals at home next week, and it’ll be a playoff rematch from its march to the title last season. If Indiana beats New York the Pacers lead that series 3-1 on Thursday, then the Heat and Pacers will meet for Game 1 in Miami on Monday night. If the Knicks extend the Pacers to at least six games, then the East finals would open Wednesday night, regardless of opponent.

Ohio House votes Blackhawks rout Wings to open series to fix youth law COLUMBUS (AP) — State lawmakers moved Wednesday to correct a new state law that inadvertently allows coaches and referees in youth sports leagues to be criminally prosecuted for violating rules regarding players’ head injuries. The House voted unanimously Wednesday to fix the error in the law. The Senate passed an earlier version of the bill, though it will likely sign off on the legislation. The new law requires coaches, volunteers and officials in youth sports organizations to have players who show concussionlike symptoms sit out games or practices until they’ve been checked and cleared in writing by a doctor or licensed health care provider. Athletes can’t return to play on the same day they are removed.
Coaches are required to know more about concussions and how to spot warning signs. Parents also must review information sheets about brain injuries. Supporters say the new rules are intended to promote safety, not impose punishments. A bill-writing error left open the door for coaches to face charges. A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health says the state isn’t aware of any criminal charges filed for noncompliance of the law since it took effect on April 26. The way the law is currently written, parents who volunteer at sporting events could be fined or face jail time if they haven’t received the proper concussion training, said state Rep. Jay Hottinger, a Newark Republican.
CHICAGO (AP) — Johnny Oduya and Marcus Kruger scored in the third period, Corey Crawford made 20 saves and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 in the opener of their secondround playoff series Wednesday night. Chicago dominated the final two periods in its first game in the Western Conference semifinals since it won the Stanley Cup in 2010. Marian Hossa scored the opening goal, and Patrick Sharp had an empty-netter and two assists to give him nine points in the playoffs. Jimmy Howard finished with 38 stops in a terrific performance, but Detroit still lost to rival Chicago for the eighth straight time dating to last season. The series resumes on Saturday afternoon at the United Center. The 75th all-time playoff game between the Blackhawks and Red Wings

Chicago kept working and went in front to stay on a heady play by Oduya. He drifted in from the point and sent Sharp’s pass past
Howard on the glove side with 12 minutes left. Kruger then jumped on a loose puck and sent a backhander into the upper right corner to make it 3-1. That was more than enough for Crawford, who caught a break when Damien Brunner’s rebound
attempt went off the crossbar and straight down before it was swept away with about three minutes left. The opener of the 16th playoff series between the Original Six teams was the first game for Chicago since it eliminated Minnesota last Thursday. Detroit closed out Anaheim with a 3-2 win in Game 7 on Sunday night, taking the final two games of the series against the second-seeded Ducks. Despite the long break, there was no sign of rust for the Blackhawks. And the Red Wings skated right with Chicago despite all that travel in the first round and the thrilling conclusion to the series against Anaheim. This one was fast and frenetic from the start. Two similar teams more than familiar with the other’s style, energized by their first playoff meeting since Detroit beat Chicago in five games in the 2009 Western Conference final.
