Newton board seeks tax renewal BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com

Conference talks legacies

Cutting costs through attrition, merging job titles and more efficient operating as a whole puts Newton Local Schools as one of the few districts in the state in the black according to a financial report Wednesday at its regular board meeting. Newton Local School’s treasurer Nick Hamilton presented the

PLEASANT HILL district its financial forecast as well as a positive financial report for the month with a balance for $483,026, where as last year, the district was in the black by $202,519 at the same time period in 2011. “That shows the cost saving measures are taking affect — that’s a big turn around,” Hamilton said. “We’re pretty for-

tunate right now.” Hamilton said although by no means is the district “raking in the money” yet, more like “holding steady” in times of budget cuts and unfunded educational mandates. Hamilton’s own position as treasurer was reduced to parttime treasurer after former fulltime treasurer Fred Henderson’s retirement. Hamilton said the board should be “very happy” with its current financial situation. “It’s good to be a small school

right now,” said Hamilton, noting large districts were hit harder with state funding cuts than smaller districts such as Newton. “I’m pleaseD with where we are.” Superintendent Pat McBride said with the positive direction Newton Local School is heading, the renewal of its three-year 0.75 percent traditional income tax is vital. “We couldn’t absorb that

The ability to predict how bad a storm will be has eluded forecasters since Hurricane Andrew made a catastrophic landfall in South Florida two decades ago and it will remain a challenge for the next chief at the National Hurricane Center, the center’s outgoing director said Wednesday. Forecasters have significantly improved their ability to predict a storm’s path, giving coastal residents more time to prepare or get out of its way. The remaining challenge is to see day or two in advance how big a storm could be or whether a storm will rapidly intensify the way Andrew did as the hurricane approached the Bahamas and Florida in 1992, director Bill Read said.

Veggie makes delicious snack I almost don’t know where to begin with this column. It seems so long ago since last Monday. Wednesday morning was nice and sunny, so we had no hint the day would take a bad turn. Daughter Susan decided to mow the grass while I had took some beef bones out of the freezer to cook. Daughter Elizabeth was washing the dishes. I also had taken everything out of the refrigerator and freezer so I could defrost it. All seemed normal until we heard the smoke alarm go off upstairs. Lately quite a few of our smoke alarms would beep a lot which is a sign to change the batteries.

“For the most part, staff is going to be making decisions,” Moeller said. The “nitty gritty” details will fall to staff, while the “big picture” issues will be handled by city council and the boards. The new code will allow city staff to have more decision making power, eliminating the need for most issues to go before a board. A zoning administrator will be responsible for making final decisions about zoning permits and zoning compliance permits, certificates of occupancy, waivers,

Raised in Brooklyn, Rodriguez was an accomplished vocalist at a young age, even performing at Carnegie Hall. But after starting a family, he put his musical ambitions aside to work various jobs before joining the NYPD. Though he was known as “The Singing Policeman” before the terrorist attacks, his captivating rendition of “God Bless America” catapulted him into the limelight and pushed him back on his original career path. “It all stems from being able to share the gifts God gave me,” said Rodriguez, who is also known as “America’s Tenor.” “When you do what you love for a living and do your passion, you consider it all downtime.” Rodriguez will be singing with the U.S. Air Force Band of Flight as part of the Celebration of Freedom concert at 6 p.m. at Hobart Arena Sunday. The free event is part of the weekend-long 911 Remembrance Day Commemoration, in recognition of Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 19. Admission is first-come, first-serve. Rodriguez was driving to work when the first tower was struck. He then risked his life working on the ground when the buildings fell. “I was at Ground Zero when the towers came down, about a block away. I lived it all again many

Point Planning. Last November, Tipp City entered into a contract with Compass Point Planning for assistance with the comprehensive zoning and subdivision code update, the first comprehensive update since 1993. The new code aims to clean up inconsistencies in the current code and eliminate any contradiction, while making the code easier for residents and businesses to understand. It is also intended to streamline regulations and to put more decisionmaking authority in the hands of city staff.

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than two dozen world leaders will join President Barack Obama in an extraordinary weekend of backto-back summits to tackle Europe’s mounting economic woes and solidify plans for winding down the decade-long war in Afghanistan. The Group of Eight economic summit and the national securityfocused NATO meeting will be infused with politics from every angle. For Obama, the summits are a unique election-year opportunity to show leadership on the world stage without having to leave the U.S. But with some new faces around the conference tables, Obama and the other leaders will be confronted by the stark reminder of the political turmoil

BUSINESS ROUNDUP

from Asia to Europe that cost several of their old counterparts their jobs. Since late 2011, public frustration with Europe’s debt crisis has led to the ouster of leaders in Italy, Spain, Greece and most recently, France. Two other members of the G-8, Britain and Japan, have had leadership shake-ups since Obama took office. Obama is fighting for his own job in a campaign expected to hinge on the economy. He has had the good fortune of being able to hold both summits this year in the U.S., allowing him to tailor the meetings around his election-year messages of expanding the economy, creating jobs and ending the war The summit locations rotate annually for each organization.

Leaders from the world’s eight leading industrialized nations arrive in the Washington area on Friday for meetings at Camp David, the wooded presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. Immediately following the G-8 summit, Obama and most of the other leaders will fly to Chicago Saturday evening to join other heads of state from NATO. Obama originally planned both meetings for Chicago, his hometown. But the White House abruptly scrapped those plans in March, announcing with little explanation that the G-8 would shift to Camp David. It was an unexpected move from Obama, who rarely spends time at Camp David and has never hosted a world leader there, unlike many of his predecessors. The

White House said that location would lend itself to more intimate talks. It also will keep them far from the protests that usually flare on the summit fringes. But U.S. and other diplomats said a major reason for the switch was to appear welcoming to Vladimir Putin, who recently reclaimed the presidency in Russia. Putin planned to skip NATO because of his staunch opposition to the alliance’s planned missile defense shield, and separating the two meetings was seen as a way to give Putin cover to slip away less awkwardly. Yet in a move widely perceived as a snub, Putin told Obama last week that he was skipping the G-8 as well in order to stay in Russia and focus on forming his government.

Codes • CONTINUED FROM A1 and site plan review. “It will be a lot easier,” said Moeller. “I’ve never seen it backfire.” The section dealing with decision making roles and authority, section 154.02, was revised to consolidate all of the existing sections that identify the roles and responsibilities of the zoning enforcement office, planning board, city council, restoration board, and the Board of Zoning Appeals in relation to zoning decisions. A table identifying the roles of the various bodies for each type of procedure was also included. The section on zoning review procedures, section 154.03, includes revised procedures for zoning permits, text and map amendments, site plan review, special uses, variances, and appeals. A new section was added, 154.03(G), which deals with “alternative equivalent compliance.” This is a procedure that allows applicants to propose unique design options as an alternative to the standards established in the code. “This is not to circumvent requirements, it’s to try to find unique ways to meet the purpose,” Moeller said. This procedure can be used in situations where

new, currently unforeseen innovations allow applicants to meet standards in different ways. For example, composites that have the same look as wood, but are more durable, could be used instead in the historic district. “There are a lot of great ideas out there that we can’t foresee,” Moeller said. “Somebody’s got a great idea for how to achieve certain parking regulations, certain landscaping, certain architecture that we just can’t predict or try to accommodate in here.” Alternative equivalent compliance is not a variance or a waiver; instead it allows a site-specific design that is equal to or better than the code standards. This procedure will be limited to outdoor lighting, architectural standards, landscaping standards, parking access and mobility standards, and the Restoration District. At the next meeting, which will be held July 31, the committee will review the next part of the draft dealing with zoning divisions. The drafting stage is the third of four stages, which is expected to be complete this October. The community can keep track of the revision process by attending public meetings and checking the city’s website at http://www.tippcityohio.gov/CodeUpdate.cfm.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 times,” he said. He worked for months at Ground Zero with TV appearances interspersed. “It was very bittersweet. I’d be on Oprah, then go back to Ground Zero,” he said. In fact, within a two-day period, he performed on “Today,” “David Letterman,” “Larry King Live,” and “Regis and Kelly.” He then went back to clearing the rubble. Despite all the talk-show appearances, Rodriguez said nothing could compare to honoring those who died. “The most poignant moment was to sing at the funeral for a friend of mine. That was the most difficult time, but I realized I had a calling,” he said. Rodriguez is currently rehearsing for the role of Lt. Pinkerton in Chelsea Opera’s production of “Madame Butterfly.”

Tax • CONTINUED FROM A1 loss,” McBride said of the 0.75 percent traditional income tax which brings in approximately $500,000 a year in operating revenue. “It’s not a new tax, it’s simply a renewal.” The board approved the first step to place the renewal on the November ballot which has been renewed since 2004. “The renewal will certainly maintain what we have,” McBride said. “We have managed the revenue we get (from the district) wisely.” In other news, parent Shanna Coate-Ressby

Between rehearsals, he’s been traveling around the world to perform. In a few weeks, he will be going to Australia. Rodriguez insists that he never tires of singing for a living. “I’m glad to be able to live my dreams and live my passions,” he said. “I count on my faith first and foremost. I try to be a positive force.” His wife Marla Kavanaugh is a soprano singer who has performed around the world as well, meaning she understands his busy schedule. “The blessing I have is my wife is also a singer,” Rodriguez said.

spoke out against the board’s policy which will not allow her son, a senior, to walk on Sunday’s graduation ceremony because of being 1/2 credit short in math. Reesby cited the makeup work and online course work her son was completing to still earn his diploma the following week after the ceremony was completed. Ressby wanted to know if her son was making an effort to complete the requirements, but do so after the commencement ceremony, if he could still walk with his class. McBride said school officials have discussed the situation, but board policy only allows students who have fulfilled all requirements by the commencement date to walk in the ceremony. “We don’t award certificates for attendance,” McBride said. “A diploma is earned and commencement is a privilege, not a right.” McBride said the important goal was for her son to finish the work to earn the diploma, despite not being able to walk with his class. “What’s really important that (student) graduates,” McBride said. “He won’t be the first and he won’t be the last and the point is we want the (stu-

dent) to graduate.” The board also approved to submit an application to excuse the district from the state’s Body Mass Index (BMI) waiver for the 2012-2013. McBride said he feels health is important but factors such as the BMI is the responsibility of the parents. The board also hired former superintendent of Bethel Local School Jeff Cassell as 7-12th grade math teacher and retired teacher from Piqua City Schools’ Rick Gold as 4/7ths of a day 7-12th grade math teachers. McBride said the district was privileged to have “two top notch math teachers” to add to its staff. The increase is because of students needing four credits of math for graduation instead of three beginning with the graduating class of 2014. The board also approved to renew its parttime school resource officer contract with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office for one year for $15,697.96. McBride said Deputy Todd Cooper has done a great job and “we want him around.” Newton shares the salary of the SRO with Milton-Union Exempted Village Schools.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio, on the war on terror: President Barack Obama is right about one thing: The American people are weary of war. They are weary of an Afghan war that began righteously, in pursuit of the evil-doers who plotted the 9/11 terrorist assault, but whose capital was frittered away with the sideshow of unnecessary war in Iraq. They’re weary of a war that is itself now a sideshow to the Taliban’s rise, abetted by new terrorist havens in Pakistan. More than a decade after 9/11, the downside of waging an endless, worldwide, 24/7 “war on terror” is sinking in. Nonstop war has sapped our resources and the resilience of our armed forces. So one can’t fault the president for trying to put the best face on his latest plan: an orderly retreat from these frustrating, costly wars. Nor is it a bad plan. But Obama is wrong to oversimplify the dangers and the mess that still exist. We’re bidding well to repeat the error of 1989, when America walked away and left Afghanistan to descend into chaos, with Osama bin Laden the beneficiary. Americans may be weary, but the stakes, in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the region, remain frighteningly high.

That caused a 20-minute delay. At another time, bin al Shibh began shouting. The defendants, apparently colluding, refused to wear headphones that would enable them to hear the proceedings translated simultaneously into Arabic. This forced more delays and confusion as Pohl ordered the translation read over a loudspeaker. Defense attorney Cheryl Borman contributed her own antics, arriving in a black head-to-toe abaya cloak that covered everything but her face. The garment is not required in Islam but is imposed in the strictest Muslim countries. Borman chose not only to embrace one of the most extreme examples of oppression against women, which radicals such as the defendants advocate, but went the extra step of demanding that other women in the courtroom cover themselves so as not to offend the defendants’ religious sensibilities. It is up to Pohl to stop this charade and instill order on a trial that represents the only chance to render justice for the deaths of nearly 3,000 in the 9/11 attacks.

DOONESBURY

I’ve been dealing with some weighty issues of late Several months ago I faced a difficult choice in my life: I could either put myself through punishing daily workouts in which I broke through mental and physical barriers I once thought impossible, while at the same time adhering to a Draconian diet that saw me subsist mainly on meals that consisted of broccoli stems and Lean Cuisine frozen dinners in an effort to lose 20 pounds … or I could buy new pants. Since I don’t much care for buying — or, for that matter, washing or changing — pants, I decided it would be easier to go ahead and lose 20 pounds than purchase a new pair of pants that fit me. I think I mostly hate buying new pants because of my mother. In fact, I blame most of the things I hate on my mother. Buying pants with my mother was an exercise in torture (come to think of it, most things were) — mostly because she had one concern with me when it came to buying pants. They had to be roomy in the crotch. Buying pants usually consisted of her handing me a stack of pants and trying each and every one on. When I would come out of the

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor dressing room, her question was always the same: “Is there enough room in the crotch?” Usually, this would be announced loudly enough so people in Petaluma, Calif. could hear. And no matter what I told her, she was thoroughly convinced there was never enough room in the crotch for me to “grow into.” Truth be told, there could have been enough room to hold a Civil War re-enactment of the Battle of Antietam in my pants and there wouldn’t have been enough room for her. Which — after my 40-pound weight gain during football season last fall — I need to lose weight if I wanted to be able to wear pants anywhere (which, according to the Troy Daily News employee handbook, is a requirement to work here: “Section 14, Rule 12:

— Nancy Frantz Troy

Employees must wear pants at all times.”) So that meant I had to lose weight. In order to become a healthier person — and, more importantly, wear pants again — I decided to give up all the things I truly loved in life. In the past five months, I have quit smoking, quit drinking and quit eating foods high in fat and calories. I have started exercising on a daily basis and getting more sleep at night. In short, I’ve become someone I absolutely despise. Still, though, in the interests of living longer and wearing pants again, I figured those were lifestyle changes that needed to be made. The first step was going back to the gym. So that’s exactly what I did. I went to the gym, looked around, then got in my car and came back home again and started weeping. Then I ate an entire bag of Doritos to make myself feel better. Clearly, I was getting nowhere. Not only would I have to go back to the gym, I would have to do actual physical labor once I got there. So I did. And I hated it. I hate being out of breath (which I’ve found I no longer am nearly as much since I’ve also quit smok-

ing. Apparently, there’s some sort of connection between quitting smoking and respiratory health that’s been kept secret from us all these years). I hate being sore. I hate working up a sweat. Mostly, however, I hate other people at the gym seeing me out of breath, sore and sweating. I also had to change my diet. I had to start eating real fruits and vegetables — not just foods I consider “fruits and vegetables,” such as Starburst and french fries. I hate this part of losing weight almost as much as I hate working out. But I still hate both things less than I hate buying new pants. Still, though, it was a sweet victory when, after five months of diet and exercise, I stepped on the scale the other day and realized I had lost 20 pounds. All the pain, blues and agony I had been going through suddenly seemed worth it. Until, that is, I realized I still had 20 more to go to reach my goal weight. But at least my pants fit. Troy’s very own David Fong appears on Thursdays in the Troy Daily News. This weekly column is a kick in the pants.

Taste of the Arts set for Friday BY SUSAN HARTLEY Ohio Community Media shartley@dailycall.com Friday’s forecast for sunny weather and warm temperatures will hopefully bring out crowds to Mainstreet’s 18th annual Taste of the Arts. “We are extremely excited about the weather forecast,” said Lorna Swisher, executive director for Mainstreet. “We are definitely ready for a great event.” The festivities get under way at 5 p.m. Friday in downtown Piqua and are set to wind down by 9 p.m. Swisher said the planning committee is excited about some new events for this year’s Taste. “We’re really excited to be bringing the student art show to the second floor of Tree Gallery,” Apple Swisher said. “It’s brand new for us.” Since the Piqua Arts Council changed their spring art show to be held in the fall of 2012, organizers decided to bring the Piqua City Schools Art Exhibit to the Gallery location. Student art from the Piqua school district will be on display. Also new this year will be the Divas and Dogs show at the children’s entertainment tent in the 400 block of North Main Street for two shows, 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. “It’s kind of a funny story,” Swisher said of the dog show. “One of the people and one of the dogs were here a couple years ago.” Since then, that dog had a puppy, then the puppy had a puppy — so there’s three

WASHINGTON (AP) — A small study raises more concern about the longterm consequences of brain injuries suffered by thousands of soldiers — suggesting they may be at risk of developing the same degenerative brain disease as some retired football players. Autopsies of four young veterans found the earliest signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, in their brain tissue, Boston researchers reported Wednesday. They compared the brain tissue of some of the youngest athletes ever found with signs of early

single blast, equivalent to a roadside bomb, was enough to start the damage — offering a model to help scientists better understand these wounds and perhaps how to treat them, the team reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. CTE is a progressive disease linked to multiple concussions. It has made headlines in recent years with the deaths of some former professional athletes, and lawsuits filed against the National Football League by others worried about the still unclear toll of a sport that can bring repeated blows to the head. Symptoms include memory problems, behavior changes including aggression, and eventually dementia. For now, only an autopsy confirms a diagnosis. Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, is a signature injury of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, most of them closed-head injuries caused by being near an explosion. While many recover fine, others have some lasting cognitive or psychiatric symptoms — and traditional medical exams can’t see the damage, making it

Edwards doesn’t testify at campaign trial GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards’ team wrapped up their defense Wednesday without calling the ex-presidential candidate, his mistress or daughter to testify, a move experts say was intended to shift focus from a political sex scandal to the nittygritty of campaign finance law. “The defense wasn’t sexy, but the defense doesn’t want sexy. It wants an acquittal,” said Steve Friedland, a professor at Elon University School of Law and former federal prosecutor who has attended much of the trial. Experts said Edwards’ bare-bone defense, which lasted just over two days, may be enough to avoid conviction on charges he authorized more than $1 million secretly provided by two wealthy donors to help hide an affair with pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter as he sought the White House in 2008. The prosecution presented nearly three weeks

Fresh asparagus makes a delicious treat Family recovering following house fire I almost don’t know where to begin with this column. It seems so long ago since last Monday. Wednesday morning was nice and sunny, so we had no hint the day would take a bad turn. Daughter Susan decided to mow the grass while I had took some beef bones out of the freezer to cook. Daughter Elizabeth was washing the dishes. I also had taken everything out of the refrigerator and freezer so I could defrost it. All seemed normal until we heard the smoke alarm go off upstairs. Lately quite a few of our smoke alarms would beep a lot, which is a sign to change the batteries. When the alarm went off Elizabeth said “sounds like another one has a dead battery.” I told her to go upstairs and check to make sure there was nothing wrong. She took the broom along so she could reach up to shut it off. She walked into the boys bedroom and saw smoke. Looking back at the closet she saw flames leaping up at the boys clothes and yelled “fire!” I ran to the back porch to find the fire extinguisher and couldn’t find it while Susan and Elizabeth got buckets of water. I later saw the extin-

The fire department said if they had arrived just 3 minutes later, the house would have been a total loss. Tomorrow the carpenters from our church district will come and fix it all up. For now the boys are sleeping on the couches and in the living room. I don’t think they like the idea of when they will have to sleep in that room again. Still scary to them knowing the fire started in their closet. We appreciate all the meals brought in and all the help and I want to thank readers who have donated. It helps so much. Emma did laundry for three days and our neighbor Lila took a lot of bed-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Ask what you can do to help fix the situation Dear Annie: For the past five years, I've been with the most wonderful woman. "Jane" and I plan to marry, but we haven't set a date because she has two adult daughters who still live at home, and their future plans are unsettled. Her younger daughter, "Trudi," is 24 and recovering from a debilitating gambling problem. Trudi lost her job, got caught stealing family heirlooms and was arrested for drunk driving. Jane eventually kicked her out. Trudi bounced from place to place, landed at a homeless shelter, met an irresponsible young man and got pregnant. At that point, Jane made the difficult decision to bring Trudi back home so she could help raise her grandchild. Things actually worked out. Trudi is sober and no longer gambling, and she has become a trusted member of the household again. (The father of the baby is not in the picture.) Trudi hasn't had much opportunity to look for a job. Jane works all day and then goes home to take care of her granddaughter. The other daughter is busy with work, school and a serious boyfriend. She does not take much interest in her niece. In the past 18 months, intimate relations with Jane have steadily declined. Menopause is a factor, but it's mostly because she has a lot on her plate. She hasn't been to my house in months, and when I'm at hers, I try to care for the baby so Jane can sit down and rest. I feel like our relationship is slipping away. We've talked briefly about it, but I simply want more than Jane can give. Is this just a rough patch, or is this our new relationship? — Too Much Dear Too Much: You sound like a good guy who is trying to help with a stressful situation. Raising a baby is exhausting, and we are certain that Jane appreciates your patience and assistance. Instead of pressuring her for intimacy, ask what she thinks you can do to improve your relationship. She will always have two daughters and a grandchild. Decide whether you can handle that. Dear Annie: For 30 years, my cousins and I were good friends. We went places together and had lunches. They seemed to enjoy the gatherings as much as I did. About three years ago, they stopped calling to make a date, leaving it up to me. Not long after that, I discovered they were meeting with my nieces, but not including me. I didn't understand the reason, but tried not to let it bother me. Now they are including the nieces' husbands, and I'm still not part of the festivities. I am deeply hurt and feel ostracized. Family has always been important to me, and I have strived to be a congenial person. Most people seem to enjoy my company. Do I pretend this is OK, or do I ignore their existence like they do with me? — Outcast Dear Outcast: We can see how this would be hurtful, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt. They may simply be waiting for you to schedule the next dinner date and, in the meantime, are enjoying their nieces' company. Pick up the phone, tell them it's been bothering you and ask whether there is a problem that can be resolved. Dear Annie: I think you missed an opportunity in your response to "Jim in Peoria," who says his wife won't let him help around the house. Jim is involuntarily unemployed, and even though money is apparently not a problem, he needs to feel that he is valued. You should have suggested that he find a nonprofit organization that needs volunteers. He might be able to get work that is related to whatever he did in his previous career, and this might even lead to a paying job down the line. In any case, it is a win-win-win: Jim wins, the nonprofit wins, and his wife wins by having a happier husband and fewer arguments. — Been There Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

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

HINTS FROM HELOISE

The results are in: Top sheet gets voted down Dear Readers: A recent column addressed the “serious” sheet issue! Kidding! Does the top sheet go on the bed facing up or down? The response was overwhelmingly that the top sheet should be facing down! Then fold the sheet back over the comforter or blanket, showing a portion of the “finished” or print side. Here is a sample of the responses we received: Patti S., via email, said: “I learned in nurses training 50 years ago that the top sheet’s finished or ’right’ side of material is down toward

Hints from Heloise Columnist the sleeping person because it is the smoother, softer side.” Bev F. in Naples, Fla., wrote: “My grandmother taught me to place the top sheet upside down; you then fold it back over the top of your blanket. This will protect your blanket from getting dirty so quickly.”

Jeanie B. in Colorado wrote: “The finished side goes up. That is like which side of your skirt goes out when you are dressing.” Finally, Allison C., via email, said: “That’s easy. The person who makes the bed gets to decide.” My favorite! Thanks so much to all of you who wrote in, especially all those in the nursing community! — Heloise P.S.: Visit my website, www. Heloise.com, for links to my Facebook and Twitter pages — hints, fun facts and more! Come see photos and

check out what’s happening. LAUNDRY HELPER Dear Heloise: With all the languages now required on clothing care tags, the small text has become next to unreadable. I have devised an easy way to tell whether it’s “tumble dry” or “line dry” by marking a large “T” or “L” on the tag with a laundry marker. I’m careful not to mark through to the garment itself. Now it’s only a quick look to see how to dry each item! This saves lots of time and ruined clothes. — Karen C., Naples, Fla.

HOROSCOPE Thursday, May 17, 2012 Elevate your sights in the year ahead and be prepared to work much harder than usual in order to make the most of your efforts. If you are successful, you’ll truly have something to boast about this time next year. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Resign yourself to the fact that everything you want to do currently is likely to take the maximum effort in order to get even minimal results. Fortunately, you have the patience required. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t get caught off guard and allow yourself to get tapped for a task involving a club or social organization that everyone else has artfully avoided, with good reason. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Unfortunately, you may be inclined to use tactics that could end up defeating your own purposes. If you insist on tripping over your own feet, nothing will get accomplished. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If at all possible, avoid a friend who is frequently afflicted with biased viewpoints that rub you the wrong way. You aren’t likely to have the necessary tolerance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s one of those days when everything will be out of proportion, including poor behavior. Don’t hesitate to refuse someone who is always borrowing this or that. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — One of the major reasons you are not likely to get much cooperation from companions might be that you’re too insistent about everything being done your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Perhaps the only way to get past you ignoring sensible health-habits today is to make yourself see what this kind of behavior is doing to others. If you look, you won’t like what you see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you see something disturbing brewing between two friends, try to steer clear. You won’t want to be forced into choosing a side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Do your best to help resolve a domestic altercation that arises between two warring family members as quickly as possible. If it can’t be settled, the chill will linger. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t be so self-involved that you fail to hear the suggestions of those who have your best interests at heart. If you get too wrapped up in your own ideas, you’ll miss out. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It behooves you to be extremely prudent in the management of your funds. Be particularly careful about making a personal loan to anybody, especially a close relative. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If it seems like everything is going against you at this moment in time, you must keep your cool if you’re to have any hope of making things come out your way. Tolerance is all-important. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, May 17, the 138th day of 2012. There are 228 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 17, 1937, Teddy Hill and His Orchestra recorded “King Porter Stomp” for RCA Victor’s Bluebird label in New York; making his recording debut was trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. On this date: • In 1510, Early Renaissance painter Sandro

Botticelli died in Florence, Italy; he was probably in his mid 60s. • In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street. • In 1849, fire erupted in St. Louis, Mo., resulting in the loss of three lives, more than 400 buildings and some two dozen steamships. • In 1912, the Socialist Party of America nominated Eugene V. Debs for president at its convention in Indianapolis.

• In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth arrived in Quebec on the first visit to Canada by reigning British sovereigns. • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Peter Gerety is 72. Singer Taj Mahal is 70. Singer-songwriter Jesse Winchester is 68. Rock musician Bill Bruford is 63. Singer-musician George Johnson (The Brothers Johnson) is 59. TV personality Kathleen Sullivan is 59. Actor Bill Paxton is 57.

Storm conference views Hurricane Andrew’s legacy FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The ability to predict how bad a storm will be has eluded forecasters since Hurricane Andrew made a catastrophic landfall in South Florida two decades ago and it will remain a challenge for the next chief at the National Hurricane Center, the center’s outgoing director said Wednesday.

Forecasters have significantly improved their ability to predict a storm’s path, giving coastal residents more time to prepare or get out of its way. The remaining challenge is to see day or two in advance how big a storm could be or whether a storm will rapidly intensify the way Andrew did as the hurricane approached the

Bahamas and Florida in 1992, director Bill Read said. “That’s been still an area we haven’t made much gains on,” Read said. Read joined Florida’s emergency managers in Fort Lauderdale at the annual Hurricane Governor’s Conference to reexamine Andrew’s legacy. The Category 5 hurricane remains one of the most expensive natural disasters ever in the United States. The important lesson Florida learned from the 1992 storm was to enforce the most stringent building codes in the nation, Read said. “Y’all passed a building code that actually made sense,” said Read. “Just about anywhere else I go you have these issues of, can I stay in my house or not? That’s a tough question to answer when it’s not a wellbuilt house.” Andrew also led to equipment upgrades for hurricane forecasters. Reconnaissance aircraft

exploring the use of Doppler radar in forecasting a storm’s intensity, Franklin said. Protecting people who live in areas vulnerable to storm surge drives the urgency behind improving forecasters’ ability to see whether a hurricane will blow up, Franklin said. “Those things, the intensity and the size, affect storm surge, which is the hazard that has the greatest potential to cause a large loss of life,” Franklin said. As federal budgets continue to tighten, maintaining all the equipment that forecasters use also will be a serious challenge for the hurricane center’s next director, Read said. That equipment includes aging polar-orbiting satellites that offer more detailed information on moisture, temperatures and other weather data than geostationary satellites that provide pictures of much of the earth from higher levels.

All good things … Eagles’ run comes to end in title game BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Punching their tickets Area athletes compete at district Staff Reports After Ashley Rector broke two school records at last Friday’s Greater Western Ohio Conference All-Star meet, another Troy record went down on Wednesday at the Division I District meet in Troy. The big news of the night was the 4x100 team of Shanelle Byrd, Sharice Hibbler, Gracie Huffman and Norris, which broke the school record in the event, running a time of 49.17 seconds. The previous record was 49.20. The other big story was Troy’s 4x800

Troy Christian coach Bill Campbell summed up his team’s stellar season and its loss to Southeastern in the Division IV Sectional championship game perfectly. “All good things must come to an end sometime,” Campbell said after his fifth-seeded Eagles couldn’t hold off the No. 2 Trojans in a 6-4 defeat

No. 1 Versailles rallies past Miami East BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Behind the arm of pitcher Luke Clark, the Miami East defense bent but didn’t break for six innings of play. But anything can happen in baseball — and with one swing of the bat in the final inning, Versailles’ Dominic Richard changed the complexion of the

TIPP CITY game for good. The Versailles junior hit a two-run home run with no outs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score at 3-3. Following that, Damien Richard walked, then an error two batters later put runners on first and second. That set the table for leadoff batter Mike Rutschilling to deliver an RBI single with two outs to

give the Tigers a 4-3 win over the Vikings in the Division III Sectional final Wednesday in Tipp City. “That was a good game,” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. “We had a lot of good defensive plays behind Luke (Clark). The kids were up and they were playing well. Luke really just made one bad pitch the whole game. “We really shouldn’t have

even been in that spot. We almost pulled off the first out in the seventh, made a good play on it, didn’t quite get him (at first). But the kids fought hard all year. They have had a long season. I couldn’t be more proud of them.” Prior to that moment, the Viking ‘D’ had been sensational, helping Clark out every time he was in danger. East ended three

Troy freshman Mazzulla just missed out on advancing to regional in the high jump, reaching a personal best 4-10. She was sixth overall. “That was the highlight of the night,” Snyder said. “She PR’d in the high jump — 4-10 actually made regional, she just had an extra miss.” For the Troy boys, Logan Terrell advanced to regional in the pole vault, topping out at 14-0 to finish second overall, and Alex Dalton is moving on to regional after he finished third overall in the discus (139-9).

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 weekend of it.” And on Saturday, No Limit Sports will also be holding a tailgate party from 6-11 p.m., where there will be even more food and fun to be had. “We’re where the party’s at … hopefully,” No Limit Sports’ Russ Miller said. “There’s only about 140 teams pre-registered, so all of the other teams will have to be here Friday to take care of that. And on Saturday after they’re done playing, they don’t really have anywhere to go. So they can set their team tents up here, we’ll have a DJ, vendors with food and drink, Jumpy’s, a cornhole tournament, skills challenges – lots of things to do. “I think it’s going to be a neat thing. We could have anywhere from 300 to 3,000 people here Saturday. We don’t know – it’s never really been done before.” Oh yeah … there’s also going to be soccer. More than 300 teams from five different states will be competing on 35 fields spanning three cities – Troy, Piqua and Tipp City will all host games in one of the state’s largest and fastest-growing tournaments. “We’ve been fortunate throughout the years, and I think we’ve gotten a decent reputation with regional teams,” Pappas said. “And it’s good timing, too. It’s close to the end of the season for most of these teams, so they can use it as a tune-up for their postseason or as a celebration for the end of the year.”

It also traditionally means big business for the area as a whole. “We estimate about 5,000 visitors bring about $3 million into the area. It’s a big deal for the local economy,” Pappas said. “It’s a little different than the festival itself. The festival draws people to the levee and keeps them there. The tournament draws people to the cities.” The tournament also promotes sportsmanship and good will in many different ways. On the field, there’s a program where coaches award a patch to a player on the other team that they feel best represents good sportsmanship. And off the field, there is both the “Halfback” program and a number of scholarships up for grabs. “We have a program called the ‘Halfback’ program, where we collect used soccer gear and pass it out to communities that don’t have enough money to buy their own gear,” Pappas said. “It’s turned into a civic program for local seniors. If people in the community have soccer gear they don’t use, they can bring it out – we’ll be collecting it at all of the game sites. “Most of the money raised by the tournament goes to local organizations, primarily the Trojan Soccer Club (which hosts the tournament). But every year, we award six scholarships to graduating high school seniors.” Not only will this weekend be a celebration of soccer – and a party in general – it will also help build a future for its participants.

COLUMBUS (AP) — A new coach is relying a lot on team leaders to drive the ballyhooed “Urban Renewal” project at Ohio State. Urban Meyer, hired last November to oversee a massive reconstruction of the Buckeyes’ troubled program, revealed his twodeep roster on Wednesday but said if the squad’s best and brightest don’t take ownership then his reboot won’t work. “Talent will get you about seven or eight wins,” said the former Florida, Utah and Bowling Green coach. “Discipline will start pushing that to nine. Then when you get leadership that’s when magic starts happening. It’s when you start getting rings and some really cool things are happening to your team.” Meyer said that if the Buckeyes’ leaders don’t make major strides between the end of spring practice and the start of fall workouts in August when the players are for the most

part on their own then a good season is in jeopardy. He said he has been encouraged by some of the things he has seen, but still recognizes that there was a failure of leadership during last year’s tumultuous 6-7 season filled with NCAA problems and suspensions. It’s this year’s players who must guide the resurgence, Meyer said. Using the top two quarterbacks as examples, he added, “So that means Braxton Miller and Kenny Guiton have to get our passing game in order for August. And that’s a tall task because it’s not very good right now. And if they do that, and I understand they are doing it, we have a chance. If not no chance.” In a far-ranging, 28minute discussion with reporters, Meyer also addressed the debate over a potential NCAA Division I playoff to determine the national champion. In short, Meyer is not a fan of most of the scenarios being floated.

Frazier, Reds beat Mets Celtics hammer 76ers NEW YORK (AP) — Todd Frazier homered twice, Brandon Phillips hit a tying single off Jon Rauch in the eighth and the Cincinnati Reds beat the New York Mets 6-3 Wednesday night. Pinch-hitter Jay Bruce drove in the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly one out after the Reds put together three straight hits off Rauch (3-2), ending with Phillips’ single. Rauch retired Chris Heisey on a popup before left-hander Tim Byrdak came on to face the lefty-hitting Bruce. After that, D.J. Carrasco came on and gave up Frazier’s second homer on his first pitch. The night before, Carrasco hit Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun with a pitch, prompting manager Terry Collins to take David Wright out of a game in which the Mets trailed 8-0, to avoid retaliation. Wright and his manager had an animated

discussion in the dugout about it, but said everything was fine on Wednesday. Jose Arredondo (3-1) pitched a perfect inning of relief for the Reds. Sean Marshall gave up a hit in the ninth but finished for his seventh save. Mike Leake struck out a season-high five in six innings for the Reds. Indians 9, Mariners 3 CLEVELAND — Ubaldo Jimenez overcame a shaky start to get the win and the Cleveland Indians pounded out a season-best five doubles to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 Wednesday night. Jimenez (4-3) gave up five hits and three runs over six innings. He threw 107 pitches 27 in a long first inning walked two and struck out four. Seattle starter Felix Hernandez (3-3) gave up 10

hits and six earned runs in only 3 2-3 innings. He and Jimenez combined for a 34minute, 59-pitch first inning that ended with Cleveland ahead 4-1. Travis Hafner hit his fifth homer and drove in three runs, while Shin-Soo Choo had three hits in Cleveland’s third straight win. Dustin Ackley had three hits, including a two-run homer, to extend his hitting streak to 12 games for Seattle, which dropped to 15 on a 10-game trip. The Mariners won eight of their first 12 road games but are 1-11 away from home since April 28. Jimenez opened the game by yielding singles to Ackley and Michael Saunders, then uncorked a wild pitch that put runners at second and third. Ackley scored when Ichiro Suzuki grounded out.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kevin Garnett scored 27 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and used a dominant second quarter to help the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers 107-91 on Wednesday night and take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Whistled for a costly illegal pick late in a Game 2 loss, Garnett crushed the Sixers early and never let them think about a fourth-quarter rally. Garnett scored 13 of Boston’s 32 points in the second quarter and the Celtics became the first team to win by double digits. Game 1 and Game 2 were each decided by one point. Rajon Rondo had 23 points and 14 assists. Paul Pierce, playing with a banged-up knee, had 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Game 4 is Friday in Philadelphia. “Our offense finally came alive,” Pierce said. “We moved the ball. We knew that’s what we were going to have to do to score 100 points.” Garnett had somehow become forgotten in Boston’s offense in Game 2 until the fourth quarter. Coach Doc Rivers said the Celtics simply weren’t going to the 16-year veteran because they had established an offensive presence in the low post. The Celtics wouldn’t let that happen again. They needed Garnett at his best in Philadelphia, where the Sixers had won their last four postseason games. So much for that minor streak. Garnett yapped his way down the court after several big early buckets and clearly

enjoyed taking it to the Sixers. He buried those 10 to 16 footers with ease in the second quarter to turn a seven-point deficit into a 13-point lead. “I thought a lot of guys tonight came and they didn’t think about what they were not doing well,” Rivers said. “A lot of guys just came and played.” The Celtics again heard the whispers that they were too weary, too old to have their championship experience matter against the up-tempo Sixers. Pierce is gutting out an MCL injury in his left knee that has robbed him of his jumper and slowed him down on both sides of the ball. He scored only 21 points combined in the first two games and failed to be the impact player the Celtics needed if they want to play deeper in the postseason.

Vikings

Eagles

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 different endings with double plays with the Tigers threatening to score. And none of those plays were bigger than Brandon Kirk’s to end the bottom of the fifth. With the Vikings clinging to a 3-1 lead in the fifth, Dominic Richard walked to open the inning, then was bunted over to second by Damien Richard. Kyle Niekamp walked to put runners on first and second with one out. But Mitch Gigandet hit a liner right at Miami East short stop Kirk, who gloved it and stepped on second before Dominic Richard could get back in time. The Miami East defense helped Clark out once again in the sixth. Versailles started the inning with a base hit by Aaron McNielan, then Rutschilling walked. Lee Kindell tried to move the runners with a bunt, but first baseman Colton Bowling picked up the ball and heaved it to third for the force. With one out, Ethan Bruns hit a grounder to third baseman Kevin McMaken, who fielded the ball, stepped on third and threw to second for the force out to get the Vikings out the inning unscathed. “The defense was outstanding,” Coomes said. “We had the great play at third base on the double play. The double play up the middle with the second baseman and the short stop. The double play on the liner by the shortstop. We made a lot of great plays out there. Garrett did a great job behind the plate and Luke pitches his heart out every time he’s on the mound.” The scoring picked up in the top of the first when Colton Bowling hit an RBI single to bring in Michael Fellers, who led off the inning by reaching on an error, then stole second. Garrett Mitchell, who

reached on a walk, plated East’s second run when Versailles pitcher Zach Niekamp attempted to pick off Bowling at first. The throw went under the glove of the Versailles first baseman, allowing Mitchell to score and giving East a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the second, Versailles scored its first run thanks to an RBI double by Damien Richard, which scored Zach Niekamp all the way from first. Neither team was able to manufacture runs over the next three innings, though, as East stranded one runner in scoring position in the third and two in the fifth. On the other hand, Versailles found offense hard to come by as Clark — who pitched all seven innings in the losing effort, recording six strikeouts — was wheeling and dealing on the mound for East. Evan Bowling doubled with one out in the top of the sixth then advanced to third on McMaken’s sacrifice fly. Kirk’s double scored Bowling to make it 3-1 East. The loss was the second time in as many years that Miami East was ousted in the sectional finals. After the Vikings posted a 16game winning streak during the regular season last year, they were beaten by Anna. East once again had a lot of success this season, ending the season with only four losses. “It hurt,” Coomes said. “I know a lot of people from Versailles, and the kids know each other. They played well. And it was just a matter of them making the plays they needed to in the seventh inning. We can’t take it away from them. They did well.” ME...........200 001 0 — 3 5 1 Ver...........010 000 3 — 4 6 3 Clark and Mitchell. Z. Niekamp, Bruns (5) and Rutschilling. WP — Bruns. LP — Clark. 2B — Dam. Richard (V), Kirk (ME), E.

Troy Christian’s Jonah Noble (3) rounds the bases Wednesday. ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 the sectional at all. As a five seed, we beat the No. 4 in the first round, beat No. 7 and then lost a close one to No. 2. This was a good tournament run for us.” In the end, though, the evenly-matched contest came down to which team made the last mistake. Troy Christian was protecting a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Josh Black led off against undefeated Eagle starter Michael Seagraves with a single and was bunted to second. Austin Snodgrass hit a routine grounder to third and was thrown out at first, but Black waited for the third baseman to let go of the ball and headed for third. The Eagle first baseman threw to third — but threw high, allowing the tying run to score. Zane Grove then reached base on an error, and Zach Smith singled up the middle. Grove tried to take third base, and the Eagle center fielder threw the ball over the home team’s dugout and out of play, giving the Trojans their first lead since the second inning. Smith — who was given third on that error — scored on a wild pitch to give Southeastern a little insurance. Jordan Hitt — who entered in relief in the fifth inning — didn’t need it, though, striking out the side in the seventh to seal the win. “We just made a couple mistakes that cost us,” Campbell said. “This is a good team.

They’re a good hitting team, and they did what they had to do. (Hitt) is their No. 1 (pitcher). We knew they were trying to get to a certain point in the game so they could bring him in and still have him for Friday. He’s tough. He’s going to get some all-state honors. “It’s hard to adjust to a new pitcher when you’ve only got a couple of innings left. And then all of a sudden to be playing from behind … it’s tough.” Southeastern struck first in the bottom of the second on back-to-back doubles, but the Eagles turned a trio of Trojan errors in the top of the third into four runs. Ben Morrow singled to lead off and Christian Willis followed with a bloop single. The runners moved to second and third on a wild pitch, but Preston Snodgrass struck out the next hitter and induced a lazy fly ball to right. The right fielder dropped the ball, though, allowing the Eagles to tie the game and putting runners on second and third again. And error at short brought in two more runs, then a dropped fly ball in center and a bloop single loaded the bases. David

Troy Christian’s Daniel McGillivary tries to beat the throw to first base Wednesday against Southeastern. Diltz hit a sac fly to drive in a run, and suddenly the Eagles led 4-1. Morrow was 3 for 3 with a double and a run and Alec Patterson was 2 for 4 with a double to lead the Eagles at the plate. They couldn’t add any more, though, and Southeastern (19-9) chipped its way back into the game with a pair in the bottom of the third to make it 4-3. But Seagraves made sure things stayed that way, getting out of a tough spot in the fifth inning by picking off a runner at second and getting some solid plays from the catcher, Seth Manuel, keeping the ball from getting to the backstop and by Diltz at short.

In the end, though, three errors in the sixth spelled the end. “It’s very hard (to lose that way). It’s hard for these seniors,” Campbell said. “I’ve been with these four seniors — Seagraves, Diltz, Manuel and (Daniel) McGillivary — since they were in seventh grade. We had a lot of fun this year. “They kept it light, we broke a lot of records … it’s tough, tough to say goodbye to those kids.” TC............004 000 0 — 4 6 4 SE............012 003 x — 6 9 3 Seagraves and Manuel.

Lehman baseball coach Dave King and Riverside baseball coach Scott Mann have both experienced all the highs and lows the game has to offer, to go with much success. And they both spent much of Wednesday night at Hardman Field in a Division IV Sectional final riding a roller coaster — but it was King and Lehman on top in the end of a 6-5 victory that advances the Cavaliers to a district final at Newton Friday at 5 p.m. against Arcanum. “Is this a great game or what?,” King said after watching his team erase a 5-0 deficit in the last three innings. “I was proud of my guys just for battling back into the game. You have to give a lot of credit to Scott Mann and the job he has done at Riverside. I have a lot of respect for him and he has those guys playing great baseball. This was just a great game.” Riverside still led 5-3 going to the home seventh and had the Cavaliers down to their last out. Joe Vondenhuevel started the rally with a single, Greg Spearman reached on an error and with one out, Ben Weber reached when the throw to third on a fielder’s choice was late. After Hurley got a strikeout, Lehman was down to its last out and freshman AJ Hemmelgarn, who singled and doubled in his previous two at bats, drilled a single to right field, scoring Pickrel and Spearman to tie the game.

MIAMI COUNTY “We had the right guy on second base,” King said. “I knew as soon as the ball fell the game was tied with Greg (Spearman) running. How about a freshman (A.J. Hemmelgarn) getting three straight hits.” But the play wasn’t over. Weber hustled down to third on the play — and the throw from right field went to the catcher and through his legs — as Weber hustled home to end the game in dramatic fashion. “That was a pretty exciting finish,” Weber said. “I was watching the throw all the way. As soon as I saw it go through the catcher’s legs, I knew I could score.” Alex Smith went the distance for Lehman, pitching a five-hitter, while striking out 12 and walking three.

Ft. Loramie 4, Covington 2 SIDNEY — The Covington baseball team walked off the field Wednesday night with tears running down their faces and in some cases with their shirts over their heads. But to Covington coach Mitch Hirsch and those who have followed this Buccaneer team over the course of the season, the kids in black should have walked off the field with their heads held high. That’s because the

team that finished the season with a 4-2 loss to Fort Loramie in the sectional final on Wednesday was a completely different team than the one that took the field in the season opener nearly two months ago. “These kids have come a long way,” Hirsch said. “Earlier in the year, it would have been easy for them to pack it in when we were getting run-ruled by Versailles and Anna. But these kids stuck with it, worked hard and turned into a pretty good baseball team.” And Covington, fresh off of an upset victory over state-ranked Bethel, had Fort Loramie on the ropes with a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning. But Fort Loramie cut the deficit in half with a run in the bottom of the third and then scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth, all coming with two outs. “Give them credit, they hit the ball well,” Hirsch said of Fort Loramie. “Three of their six hits came in the fourth inning with two outs. That’s what good teams do.” Still, Hirsch is proud of how far his team has come over the course of the season. “We won six or seven out of our last eight games before tonight,” he said. “It’s all because these kids worked hard, started playing together as a team and believed in each other. As a coach, you can’t ask for much more than that. This was a great group of kids to coach this season.” Which is why the Buccs should have walked off the field with their heads held high.
