A former Miami County sheriff’s deputy entered guilty pleas to seven felony drug counts during a change of plea hearing Monday.

A judge has yet to reconsider

whether he will allow a drug treatment program instead of a possible prison sentence.

Joshua D. Adkins, 34, of Tipp City, was scheduled to take his case to trial Tuesday, but instead entered guilty pleas to seven counts of using deception to obtain dangerous drugs, felonies of the

Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Lindeman scheduled a sentencing hearing for July 9.

At that sentencing ADKINS hearing Adkins faces more than a decade in

Council talks rezoning

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Joplin looks back at twister A year after a massive tornado tore through Joplin, reminders of the storm’s fury are plentiful — from the glaring absence of century-old trees in the city’s central neighborhoods to the ghostly shell of St. John’s Regional Medical Center.

Residents, hospital workers and politicians gathered across the disaster zone Tuesday to mark the year since the tornado, mixing somber remembrances with steely resolutions to rebuild the battered city, where 161 people were killed.

“It is so fitting to begin this day, this anniversary, by reflecting on our faith as dawn breaks over a renewed Joplin,” Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said.

The Miami East Local Schools Board of Education heard Tuesday from several concerned parents about multiple bullying incidents that occured within the district.

District parent Anita Csikos addressed the board about her concerns, stating that her immediate family has dealt with issues since 2008.

“I’m bringing this to the forefront,” Csikos said.

“I’m the only parent that prays every night that their teen makes it through the day.”

Csikos suggested the administration increase supervision in the hallways, playground and within the gymnasium to decrease incidents during school hours.

“It’s time to do something,” she said. Csikos

asked not to be part of the rezoning. Council agreed to amend the ordinance to exclude the lot, meaning only three lots instead of four would be subject to the rezoning. The ordinance will be discussed at the next law and ordinance committee meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 23.

During the citizen comments portion, Lester Conard voiced his opposition to the proposed street lighting assessment — which had its second reading — in which the city would charge $42.12 per year

per parcel.

“You don’t like when the state of Ohio cut your funds so you passed it along to us,” Conard said. “You don’t kill the golden goose or bite the hand that feeds you.

The city should cut salaries or decrease funding for recreation programs instead, he reasoned.

Council will have a third reading of the street light legislation, which is a Resolution of Necessity, at the June 4 council meeting.

Also adopted was a resolution to purchase lime from the city of Dayton. At the finance committee

court documents, Lopez stated that Adkins meets the criteria for the program, that the “use of drugs” was a “leading factor” in his criminal conduct, and the program would “substantially reduce the likelihood of any future criminal activity.”

Lindeman issued a decision Friday ruling Adkins ineligible since Adkins was a sheriff’s deputy at the time of his crimes and held a position of trust.

However, following Monday’s plea agreement, Lindeman told the court he would reconsider the request at a later date.

Adkins entered his pleas as charged with exception to one of the counts being amended to a lesser degree felony.

On a plea form filed following the hearing, prosecutors also stipuluated that as a part of the plea agreement they

would not pursue any other charges “for conduct that occurred prior to the plea and for which the defendant has not made disclosure.”

After the hearing Adkins’ recognizance bond was continued with a special condition that only allows him to take medication that is prescribed to him and he must only get his medication from one pharmacy.

According to his indictment, the crimes transpired between Jan. 6 through May 6, 2011, and involve the prescription pain killers hydrocodone and oxycodone.

Adkins resigned unannounced from the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office in November after 14 years of service.

On April 12, 2010, Adkins was involved in two cruiser-related car accidents, sheriff’s records and newspaper archives show.

Principal “I’m very excited for the opportunity given here at Tippecanoe,” Bixler said.

“We’re ready to hit the ground running.”

The school also had one change in assignment.

Communications Coordinator Sheryl Brownlee went from full-time to part-time, due to “reduction in staff and financial reasons.”

NATIONAL BRIEF

Man in stable condition after Niagara Falls plunge NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — A man who survived a plunge of at least 180 feet over Niagara Falls — only the third person known to have done so without a safety device — was in stable condition Tuesday, a day after his apparent suicide attempt that led to a dramatic and painstaking rescue.

On a warm and sunny Victoria Day holiday morning in Canada, the man climbed over a railing 20 to 30 feet out over the Horseshoe Falls, the tallest of the three main falls, and “deliberately

jumped” into the Niagara River, according to witness accounts given to Niagara Parks Police.

Seriously injured, he surfaced in the lower river basin near an observation platform and managed to make it to shore on his own, likely swept there by an eddy, said Platoon Chief Dan Orescanin of the Niagara Falls, Ontario, Fire Department.

“That’s another stroke of luck,” Orescanin said. “If he was in the main current, he would have been swept down river.”

Rescuers who were called didn’t immediately know whether the man at the bottom of the gorge had gone over the brink or entered the water at the base.

“We must get a handle on this,” she said. Csikos said her own child has come home from school and begged not to go back to school due to bullying issues.

Mary Ann Bick said she attended the board meeting to support Csikos.

“We do need a presence known,” said Bick. Who agreed to more adult supervision in the gym, locker rooms, “especially with girls in junior high.”

Parent Doug Csikos listed several incidents such as students being bullied at school bus stops, junior high students having their lunch taken away and other concerns.

Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold said he appreciated all the comments and thanks parents for bringing their concerns to the board meeting.

“Every effort can be made, but there is no 100 percent end because of kids be we can do what we can,” Rappold said.

Rappold suggested a parent advisory committee be formed for those interested to help administration curb the bullying problem. Rappold also said new legislation will be in effect next school year to hold students accountable for their actions online social network sites such as Facebook.

“It is the number one issue that faces public schools across the state,” Rappold said.

Rappold said despite numerous assemblies and programs such as last year’s “Rachel’s Challenge,” the issue of bullying is a topic of concern for all schools.

In other news: Miami East Local Schools’ treasurer Lisa Fahncke reported positive news for the district’s finances with its first earned income collection netting more than projected.

“April was a very good month. Our first income tax receipt from the income tax passed in November 2011 came in more than projected,” Fahncke said. The district estimated $502,822 yet received $598,383 in its first collection, thus receiving than $95,000 more than projected for its general fund.

For new earned income tax collections, such as the 1.75 percent earned income tax the district’s community approved last November, it takes approximately 18 months to realize actual numbers due to delinquencies, failure to report and filing errors.

Fahncke reported the district does not yet know if it will end up with a cash balance in the positive until special education encumbrances, or bills, will not be available until June from both Miami and Montgomery educational service centers.

Doan named 2012 Hall of Honor recipient WEST MILTON — Joyce Ann Harley Doan was named the 2012 Hall of Honor recipient at the 124th annual Milton-Union Alumni Banquet on May 19.

Doan graduated from Milton-Union in 1961. She received her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Case Western Reserve University.

While in nursing school, she met medical student Roscius Doan, whom she married in 1966. Together they started married life on the U.S. Peace Corps staff in Peru, where she helped her physician husband as a nurse. In 1968, they moved to Seattle and settled there. Mr. Doan did further nursing graduate study at the University of Washington, then participated in the formation of Cancer Lifeline, becoming its first director.

In 1979, the couple became the parents of a daughter, Marisha Elizabeth, at which time Mrs. Doan became a full time mother, homemaker and “career” volunteer. During the 1980s and ’90s, she founded the Sharehouse, which became a project of the Church Council of Greater Seattle. She also was an active board member of the Seattle Tashkent Sister city Association. Together with her husband and daughter, she made several trips to Tashkent in Soviet Uzbekistan, and hosted several Soviet visitors in her home in Seattle.

She and her family spent a year as a guest resident in Tashkent and became a successful English teacher.

Her home became known as the “Seattle Consulate” where many Uzbek and Russian friends and students would drop in. Joyce also was instrumental in operating the first email connection to Tashkent through the antiquated phone lines to connect to the server in Moscow. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, she and her family lived for a year in Moscow while her husband served as director for Project Hope.

TROY tier I sex offender.

Also as a part of the sentencing hearing it was decided by Judge Robert Lindeman that Brian A. Green, 20, must successfully complete sexual offender counseling and is to have no unsupervised contact with juvenile females.

Green entered a plea of no contest to a lone count of importuning at a change of plea hearing earlier this year after authorities initially charged him with rape.

Green faced the maximum sentence of up to one year in prison for his conviction of the fifthdegree felony sex crime.

As a tier I sex offender, Green must register as such in the county where he resides, works or receives an education for the next 15 years.

Police records state Green committed the sex crime Dec. 11, 2011, at a Boone Street residence in Piqua.

The mother of the victim became aware of the relationship between her daughter and Green after discovering the man sleeping in a bed that belonged to her daughter.

Green also has a related charge of sexual imposition, a misdemeanor, pending in Miami County Municipal Court.

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Telegraph, London, on elections in France and Greece: The recent elections in France and Greece suggest that an insidious myth is starting to take hold across Europe. It was best articulated by France’s new socialist president, François Hollande, in his victory speech. “Europe is watching us,” he said, with characteristic Gallic selfeffacement. “Austerity can no longer be the only option.”

That is fast becoming the new economic orthodoxy. In Greece, the governing coalition that signed the country up to the EU’s fiscal stability pact was humiliated by the anti-austerity parties, including the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn. Last month, the conservative governing coalition in the Netherlands — the most hawkish of austerity-mongers — collapsed when the far-Right pulled out of talks on further budgetary cuts. In Spain there is growing unrest at the scale of unemployment, particularly among the young. In Italy and Portugal people are bridling at the pace of fiscal consolidation.

The common theme here is that, four years after the crash, voters are no longer prepared to accept austerity measures. In place of self-sacrifice, there is a growing popular As I belief that there may be some magical, pain-free way See It out of this crisis. This is a cruel illusion, with which ■ The Troy responsible political leaders should have no truck.

But suggesting the oilsands are somehow bad for Canada reveals remarkable ignorance by a senior Canadian political leader as well as a sad lack of ambition. …

Both leaders overlook the fact Ontario’s economy is the country’s second-largest beneficiary from the production of Alberta crude, according to a study by the Calgary-based Canadian Energy Research Institute.

Between 2010 and 2035, it says Ontario will realize $63 billion in economic spinoffs and 65,520 oilsands-related jobs.

But if a high dollar is the reason behind Ontario’s and Quebec’s sputtering manufacturing sector, what then is the cause for the collapse in Detroit and Ohio?

Nations around the world look at Alberta’s energy wealth with envy, not only for the economic value it represents, but its assurance of a fair measure of energy security. Without the oilsands, Canada would be far more dependent on uncertain imports from regimes with dodgy political and human rights records.

No, instead of maligning Canada’s economic engine, Mulcair should be championing investment in machinery and equipment across the country while the dollar is high, using tax incentives if necessary. By increasing its competitiveness, the manufacturing sector can protect jobs and increase employment. In short, prosperity isn’t attained by crippling economic success in hopes of causing a drop in the dollar; it is achieved with a more efficient and productive economy. A high Canadian dollar makes critical investments easier to afford.

DOONESBURY

Dating game misses mark on ‘love in reality’ It’s started again. Dun-dun-dun.

It’s that time of the year. It’s the new season of The Bachelorette and I’m already reeled in.

I tell myself I can’t believe it — but really — we all knew and I knew I was going to be from the minute they announced that it was going to be Emily. Emily is from Charlotte and was on a previous show during Brad’s season of the Bachelor. Following her heartbreak of the failed proposal, the network picked her to be the next Bachelorette. They couldn’t have picked a better girl in my eyes. She’s a strong Southern women who knows what she wants and isn’t going to play games to get it.

Now, let me tell you that as I have said before, I don’t watch much TV. I watch Bachelorett, reruns of Criminal Minds and CSI. However, this show has turned me into “that girl” — just like the ones I used to make fun of and say, “I have to go, my show comes on at 9.”

I think it’s because I have rooted so hard for Emily to fall in love. I loved her from the beginning during Brad’s season and that didn’t work out. Now, she has a second shot and I just want her to find the man of her dreams. She deserves it.

The show makes me think so much about love. It makes me think of how lucky I am to have loved and lost and found love again. It makes

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist me realize that things have changed drastically in the dating realm and even though it seems over the top and drastic, the show portrays well, in my opinion, how the dating world really does work.

When I look at love stories on TV and throughout real life, sometimes I get sick to my stomach. It has turned into such a game, and in my eyes, that is not what it is about. I know, I know, so many people argue with me and say that you have to play the game to catch the one you want, but I disagree completely. There is a difference in my eyes of playing hard to get and playing games. If something is meant to be, it will be, without games. I am lucky enough that I am finding that out sooner than later now with Key after much growing from my past.

I have seen so many stats lately about how high the percentage rate of cheating has sky-rocketed in couples, married and dating in their twenties.

I’m sorry folks, but if you are not

happy, don’t be with someone. It’s not rocket science. If you feel the need to explore other options, in my opinion, it’s not love. It’s not real and there is something that is missing and you shouldn’t act upon that relationship.

There was a recent news piece along with the cheating stats about how couples are “spicing” up their relationship by interacting with other couples. I just don’t understand it — if you are in a committed relationship or married, there should be no “openness” to it — there are promises made and vows made and at that point, a relationship is something to cherish between two people. I cannot fathom being married and in love and having the capability of exploring options with my future husband to “spice up” our relationship.

I don’t know what it is with our generation and younger, but there is no need to “explore.” Love is not a game. I think it has been beaten into the heads of those in this generation to always have the best and always be the best, whether it’s financial status, looks or anything else, and it has carried over from careers into relationships. It’s ridiculous to me, and the thought of everything being greener on the other side and the “what ifs” get out of control.

Of course after the “honeymoon” period is over, and life, bills, work, athletic events, school, you name it

get in the way, there will be times when a relationship is taxing and could be labeled as “boring.” But it will go away, and when people are with the right person, all of that gets worked out together (keyword) and the relationship will be spiced up if the two are committed to each other and are willing to work on it.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It isn’t about completing yourself with someone else. It is about listening for the path you are supposed to follow to find the one you are to be with. It’s about loving God, loving others and when that happens, you will find who you are to love and be with in this life — for life.

As Taylor Swift says “Life makes love look hard, the stakes are high, the waters are rough,” but it doesn’t have to be if the focus is right. Love isn’t supposed to be confusing, it should not have to be questioned. And as Corinthians says beyond the verses people remember, “It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking and it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.” “Love is not selfseeking” is the most important in my eyes. When two people are trying their best to honor each other and God, instead of being concerned with themselves, all works out the way it should.

Council continues discussion on Abbott Labs Facility plans

BY CECILIA FOX For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com More decisions regarding the highly anticipated Abbott Labs facility were on Monday’s city council agenda, ensuring that the city is doing its part to help Abbott reach the 18-month construction goal they set out in April.

Council authorized a resolution awarding the contract for the construction of Abbott Park Way and the extension of utilities to VTF Excavation of Celina, at a cost of $1,373,710.

“The Engineer’s estimate for this project was $1,578,120. The bids ranged from a low of $1,373,710 to a high of $1,563,807,” City Manager Jon Crusey said. Construction of the new roadway is expected to be completed this fall.

The council approved the issuance of $675,000 in bond anticipation notes for the construction. The city has received several grants from the state to assist with this project.

One of these, a $600,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation, was also on the agenda. Council voted to enter into a Roadwork Development Agreement with ODOT to assist in the construction of Abbott Park Way.This is part of the incentive package offered by the state to bring Abbott’s new $270 million facility to Tipp City.

The council also authorized the advance of $775,000 from the General Fund to the Abbott Park Way Fund until the grants are received.

The General Fund will be paid back once the city is reimbursed with grant funds, most likely within the year, according to Crusey.

TIPP CITY “The roadway is supposed to be constructed sometime in the SeptemberOctober timeframe. So as we make payments on that project, we’ll be requesting reimbursement,” Crusey said.

Council approved the final plan for the Interstate Crossings Business Park, a 136 acre parcel of land that will be divided into five lots along the new Abbott Park Way. Council also accepted the donation of 4.276 acres from the owners of the business park for the necessary right-of-way.

The estimated value of that donated parcel is $160,350.

Aside from decisions regarding Abbott, Council also adopted two resolutions entering into three year collective bargaining agreements with the city’s police officers and sergeants.

Both groups will see their wages increase by two percent in 2012, 2013, and 2014.

At the end of the meeting, Councilman Joe Gibson called for a formal investigation into the issue of Council President John Kessler’s debts.

At two earlier meetings, Scott Brownlee claimed that Kessler owes more than $10,000 in federal tax liens and has failed to pay his former employees’ Tipp City income withholding taxes. Mike Woody, a former employee of Kessler’s, claimed that he is owed six months’ pay.

“There are questions sufficient enough that in my view need to be answered publicly,” Gibson said. “I will be asking for the appropriate item to be placed on the agenda at the next city council meeting.”

Kessler declined to comment.

The round table discussion all agreed that a splash pad would be a good idea, but were still uncertain where it would go.

Coate and Kline had thought on the east side of Jay, right next to the tennis courts, but board members were uneasy with vandal opportunities and traffic on Jay. It was suggested to build the pad on the east side, closer to where the middle school sits now.

“I think that would be fantastic,” Kevin Hartlage said.

Hartlage is a resident who lives on Wagner, one block over from the elementary school, who also attended the meeting.

Other council member suggestions for the future green space included a skate park for skateboarders and a dog park. A board member suggested bringing back the exercise course which used to be around the outskirts of the area.

Kline did note that there would be grant funding involved in building the pad, so completion is at least a couple years down the road.

The medical center hasn’t yet been torn down because it sits atop the mining tunnels that made Joplin an early 20th century boomtown. The hospital has been operating out of a succession of temporary facilities while construction continues at its new permanent location, where it will reopen under the name Mercy Hospital Joplin.

The city held the first of three groundbreaking ceremonies Tuesday for new schools in the shadow of St. John’s former home on land donated by the Sisters of Mercy Health System. An elementary school will be

built at the site to replace two that were destroyed.

“The sound of hammers has replaced the sound of sirens,” said C.J. Huff, Joplin’s school superintendent.

A community theater where three people died after a Sunday matinee performance will be rebuilt nearby. A groundbreaking ceremony was planned for later Tuesday for Joplin High School, which was also destroyed.

“It’s been a roller-coaster type year. Extremely high highs and lots of low lows.” said Debbie Fort, the principal of Erving Elementary School, which has been operating out of temporary facilities and which will be the name of the new school.

“It’s important that we

take a moment to reflect and remember,” she said. “But it’s a new chapter in our lives. This really signifies our future, the future of Joplin.”

While many of Tuesday’s events looked back, there was talk of moving on as community leaders look at what’s bound to be yearslong recovery.

Insurance policies are expected to cover most of the $2.8 billion in damage from the storm.

JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — A year after a massive tornado through Joplin, tore reminders of the storm’s fury are plentiful — from the glaring absence of century-old trees in the city’s central neighborhoods to the ghostly shell of St. John’s Regional Medical Center.

Residents, hospital workers and politicians gathered across the disaster zone Tuesday to mark the year since the tornado, mixing somber remembrances with steely resolutions to rebuild the battered city, where 161 people were killed.

“It is so fitting to begin this day, this anniversary, by reflecting on our faith as dawn breaks over a renewed Joplin,” Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said at a sunrise service at Freeman Hospital to honor the tornado survivors, medical workers and volunteers who sprang into action after the storm struck.

“Scripture tells us that the path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”

Many businesses have reopened and homes are being rebuilt, but much remains to be done in this city of 50,000 near the borders of Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. The tornado, packing winds of 200 mph, wiped away entire neighborhoods, destroyed the city’s only public high school and a major hospital, and left behind a ghastly moonscape of block after city block of foundations wiped clean of their structures.

Later Tuesday, city government leaders joined residents, volunteers and state and local politicians for a 4mile “Walk of Unity” through some of the city’s hardest-hit neighborhoods.

The afternoon procession started in neighboring Duquesne, where more than one-fourth of the community’s 750 homes were destroyed and nine people died. The Joplin portion of the walk begins past a WalMart where three people were killed and 200 survived by huddling together in employee break rooms, bathrooms and other designated safe zones.

The walk will conclude with a moment of silence at Cunningham Park at 5:41 p.m., the moment the torna-

TROY TV-5

You have many choices ahead

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6 p.m.: Around Troy 6:30 p.m.: Health and Home

Dear Annie: After more than 40 years of devotion to my husband, I have finally realized what a stonehearted jerk he is. I have done everything in my power to love, respect and encourage him.

But I've fallen into a pattern of picking up the pieces of my heart and overlooking my own hurt in order to give him another chance and keep peace in our home.

All of this is "not important" to him, as he has told me numerous times. My marriage is terribly lonely. Year after year, his disinterest and disregard for my feelings have chipped away at the love I once had. I have fought hard to stay in his life, and he tells me, "So what?" and "Leave if you want to." My pleadings fall on deaf ears, and he refuses to discuss it.

I have raised our children and worked beside him and also outside the home. I have contributed as much as he has to build our life together. This is obviously not how I envisioned our retirement, but I have had enough and am finally ready to begin a new life without him. Where do I start? — Beyond Sad Dear Beyond: With counseling.

Not necessarily to save your marriage, but to help you move forward in whatever direction helps you. After 40 years, there may be a great deal of grief for the loss of your relationship, fear of the unknown future, worry about finances and loneliness, as well as the need to forgive. You have a great many choices and adjustments to make, and counseling will help you navigate. If you choose divorce, please also see an attorney. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I have an ongoing dilemma about an extremely uncomfortable bed. My parents recently turned 80. They have a guestroom with a bed that desperately needs to be replaced. I can tolerate sleeping there if I am exhausted, but it is truly awful.

My parents are not rich, so a new bed would be a major expense. But they don't like handouts, so buying one for them might be resented. How do I tell them that my siblings and I would prefer to buy them a new mattress rather than spend the money staying in a motel? I don't want to embarrass or offend them. — Bad Back Dear Back: Your parents don't sleep in the guestroom and have no idea how bad the bed is, nor are they in any hurry to replace something they don't actually use.

Their embarrassment would be temporary, so simply make the arrangements and then tell them, "Mom and Dad, it's time to update your guestroom mattress. We've bought you one as a gift, since we are the ones who use it most."

Then say it's a done deal, no argument, and give them the delivery date. It would help if one of you could be there when it arrives.

Dear Annie: I feel bad for "Puzzled in Indiana," whose brother has multiple sclerosis. The brother is holding a grudge against Dad because he sold the family home and used the proceeds to build a new one instead of distributing the money to his kids.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 16 years ago. Some people with MS have problems with memory, reasoning, judgment and depression. The stresses of life, especially the loss of a job or a loved one, can exacerbate flareups. All communications should be done with this in mind.

My mother also had MS. She spent the last 10 years of her life bedridden and in pain. My advice to "Indiana" is to contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety.org) at 1-800-FIGHT-MS (1-800-3444867). — Maryland Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Here’s how to identify different creams Dear Heloise: What are the differences among heavy cream, light cream and whipping cream? — A Reader, via email There is a lot of difference!

And it’s mostly fat and calories.

Heavy cream has 36 percent to 40 percent butterfat, light cream has 18 percent to 30 percent butterfat (most often it contains 20 percent), and whipping cream has 30 percent butterfat. Cream rises to the surface of whole milk and is labeled according to the butterfat content. Heavy cream, used in baked goods as filling or frosting, doubles in volume and

Hints from Heloise Columnist holds its shape well when whipped. Light cream usually is added to coffee or other hot drinks in place of milk.

Whipping cream doesn’t whip quite as well (doesn’t make sense to me, since it’s called whipping cream!) or hold its shape as well, so it most

often is used as a filling. — Heloise ADDING BEANS Dear Readers: When using canned beans in a recipe, do you drain and rinse the beans before adding them, or just drain them? The brine from a can of beans is a great way to add flavor to your dish.

However, if you are watching your sodium intake, rinsing the beans after draining can cut the sodium. — Heloise PRECOOKING PEPPERONI Dear Heloise: My family loves to have a pizza-and-game night once a week. In an effort

to keep costs down, we started making our own pizza.

It is a lot of fun mixing all types of different ingredients and never making the same pizza twice.

Pepperoni is one of our favorite toppings. Not liking how greasy the pepperoni is, especially after cooking, I came up with this hint.

I place a single layer of pepperoni in the microwave, on paper towels, microwave for about 30 seconds and then put it on the pizza to cook. There still is some grease, but it seems like a lot less. — Julie D., Colorado Springs, Colo.

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Your chart indicates the possibility of a busier social life in the year ahead, which is well and good. However, it might be smart not to involve business contacts in your playtime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Coworkers who usually back your intentions when it comes to career matters may be nowhere to be found when you need their allegiance most. Be prepared to fend for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You should give your utmost attention to your duties and responsibilities. If you try to sweep things under the rug, all that’ll result will be large lumps that will surely trip you up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be smart and avoid all forms of speculative involvements. Be especially careful not to gamble on the abilities or talents of another. It’s tough enough taking a chance on your own situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It’s important to weigh all sides of an important issue. Yet if you’re unduly analytical, you might be crippled or defeated by your own indecisiveness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Even though you’re a creative person, it’s still important to follow productive methods. Be careful not to go to such extremes that you stray from a solid path.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Sometimes the best foods aren’t necessarily found in establishments that have the most expensive menus. If you are out wining and dining, keep this in mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try not to turn your home into a military camp. If you make the rules too tough or rigid, the troops will eventually rebel.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If some of your co-workers have been doing things that bug you or make you feel uncomfortable lately, this might not be the best day to bring it up. It could be smarter to keep mum for the nonce.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Being in the company of those who can afford to spend lavishly might leave you at odds with your wallet.

Don’t make the mistake of trying to operate on a high-society budget.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Unless you are of singular purpose, certain objectives that you hoped to get done won’t be accomplished. Attempting several jobs simultaneously could cause you to cross your wires.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’ll know what is expected of you, yet you simply might not want to comply.

However, guard against any inclination to pass the buck, because it will come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — This isn’t going to be one of your better days for handling your personal resources or, as a matter of fact, the resources of others. Be especially careful in all financial situations.

105 Announcements

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

No one knows precisely why the 43year-old Seau shot himself in the chest at his oceanfront home May 2, less than 2 years after the end of his Pro Bowl career as a linebacker. What is clear and cause for concern among other players is that he reached some serious depths of despair.

M-U’s Brumbaugh ready for state

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com When Matt Brumbaugh steps onto the court Friday at Ohio State University, the MiltonUnion freshman will play in his first state tournament match.

In that respect, it will be an even playing field.

Only two players in this year’s Division II State tournament field were there a year ago, meaning that everyone will be sharing the same first-time jitters and pressure — and their individual abilities will be that much more important.

“There’s a lot of freshmen this year (three), two from our district,” Brumbaugh said. “A lot of new players no one’s seen before.

“That makes it a little even,” Milton-Union coach Roger Davidson said. “We’re hoping those big USTA tournaments he plays in — in front of a lot of people — help him out.”

Brumbaugh got the fifth seed coming out of the district, losing to Cincinnati Country Day’s Patrick Wildman — who was third last year in D-II at state — and fighting his way through the backdraw to qualify. He defeated Chaminade Julienne senior Andrew Bole in a grueling match to get to state.

Brumbaugh was also recently named co-all-Dayton area Player of the Year along with Bole, who had to retire in a tight second set after suffering from severe cramps due to the heat.

McCoy’s new role Incumbent QB knows he’s the underdog

ing. We were outhitting them, outpitching them and losing by one. We finally break through for four runs and think we’ve got them, and to have it turn right back around and fall behind again … “… When you get to the tournament, you’ve got to have as much luck as skill sometimes.

Their pitcher walked a couple of guys to load the bases. And Steven got to become a hero and got the game-winning hit. That’s really going to boost his confidence.”

The whole team’s confidence

BEREA (AP) — Colt McCoy has been promised a fair fight by the Browns.

He says he believes them and knows he’s the underdog.

Choosing his words carefully and sounding resigned to his fate, McCoy put on a brave front Tuesday as he discussed the inevitability that Cleveland’s offense will be led by a new quarterback this season.

McCoy took the initial snaps in practice with Cleveland’s starters. But it’s only a matter of time before first-round draft pick Brandon Weeden, with the cannon for a right arm, replaces him behind center.

General manager Tom Heckert said Monday night that the “best guy is going to play” and the Browns MCCOY selected the 28-year-old Weeden with the No. 22 overall pick last month “to be that guy.”

McCoy said all the right things during his first comments since last season. He offered his support to Weeden. He vowed to be a team player.

“This is the card that’s been dealt,” McCoy said after the Browns’ first day of organized team activities. “I can just say that I’m working as hard as I can. You never know what to expect. One of my favorite quotes by the NAVY Seals is, ‘The only easy day was yesterday.’ That’s

The Tippecanoe Red Devils celebrate Steven Calhoun’s game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday as the Monroe pitcher holds his head in the foreground at Mason High School. Tippecanoe faces Wyoming in the regional semifinal Thursday.

Lessons learned Devils know first-hand anything can happen

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Tippecanoe’s wild 6-5 Division II District championship victory on Saturday provided two important yet opposing lessons for the young Red Devils.

“It proves that they’re never out of it no matter what … and that you can lose a game at any time,” Tippecanoe coach Bruce Cahill said. “That just as easily could have been us. You walk a fine line in the tournament.”

Down 1-0, Tippecanoe scored four runs in the bottom of the

TIPP CITY sixth inning — only to have the Monroe Fighting Hornets strike back with four of their own in the top of the seventh to reclaim the one-run lead.

But with two outs and the bases loaded, Steven Calhoun sent a shot to the gap that scored a pair to win the game and propel the Devils to Thursday’s regional semifinal round.

“That was probably the craziest game I’ve ever been involved with in 27 years,” Cahill said.

Back in the flow Phillips powers Reds past Braves CINCINNATI (AP) — All joking aside, Brandon Phillips’ renewed power has more to do with his hamstring than his biceps.

Phillips drove in three runs with a pair of homers off Brandon Beachy on Tuesday night, leading Cincinnati to a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in another game of all-ornothing that got the Reds second baseman back in the flow.

“I started doing push-ups,” Phillips suggested.

Nice try. Nobody bought it.

He hadn’t homered since April 24, an indication something was wrong with his swing.

He pulled his left hamstring in the fourth game of the season

and had to adjust his stance, standing more upright.

Now that the hamstring is healed, he’s back into his usual crouch at the plate.

“That really helped me a lot,” said Phillips, who watched video of swing before the game and made the adjustment.

Rookie shortstop Zack Cozart also homered off Beachy (5-2) as the Reds got the best of another high-powered game. The teams have combined for 10 homers in the two games, seven of them by Cincinnati.

Browns ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 just kind of how I have to live right now.”

Once viewed as a potential franchise QB, McCoy’s days with the Browns appear numbered. The team would like to develop Weeden, and to do that with complete commitment, the Browns may need to find a new team for McCoy or simply release him. He said he has not asked to be traded because “they told me I had a chance to compete.”

Following the draft, AP PHOTO Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy (12) walks McCoy said the Browns past rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden (3) during an called and told him he off-season practice at the team’s headquarters in would have a chance to Berea Tuesday. keep his job. He liked the

idea of a challenge and said he’s doing all he can to embrace it.

“They just said, ‘Hey, come in here and compete.’

As a competitor, that’s all you need to hear, really,” said McCoy, who has recovered from the concussion that ended his second season. “Just come in with your head on right and give it all you can every day. I want my teammates to see the same guy every day.

Amidst some difficulties as a quarterback, you’ve got to be able to thrive in those situations. At the same time, you’ve got to kind of regard them as routine.

■ National Football League

Those things are going to happen throughout your career.”

It’s assumed Weeden will be the starter Sept. 9 against Philadelphia, but the rookie isn’t taking anything for granted.

“I have to earn that job,” he said. “They’re not going to hand it to me just because of where they took me. I have to compete and show I belong on the field.

Every position mine in particular with Colt and how good he played and how good of a player he is. The competition is fun. It should be better for everybody involved. That’s the mental-

ity I’m taking. It’s not my job. It’s my job to win.”

McCoy didn’t have it easy last season.

Along with learning a new offense under a rookie coach, he didn’t have any experienced wide receivers or a running game to lean on. The Browns couldn’t score, McCoy’s mistakes multiplied and his season came to a crashing halt when Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison leveled him with a dangerous helmet-to-facemask hit on national TV. Now, he’s losing his job.

It doesn’t seem fair, but McCoy isn’t complaining.

Taking its toll Seau’s suicide prompts worries about post-NFL life

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Pro Football Writer Junior Seau’s suicide is troubling NFL players.

No one knows precisely why the 43-year-old Seau shot himself in the chest at his oceanfront home May 2, less than 2 years after the end of his Pro Bowl career as a linebacker. What is clear and cause for concern among other players is that he reached some serious depths of despair.

“To see a guy like that, in such a dark place, to take the action he did … makes you think about life after football and what it’s like, and what you’ll be going through, when that time comes, mentally,” said Colts linebacker A.J. Edds, who is entering his second NFL season. “This might have been what people needed to open their eyes a little bit about what might happen down the road. How do you go forward to prevent it? Hopefully some good can be found from a horrible situation.

Hopefully that’s one silver lining that it might help other guys keep from getting to a place like that.”

In 40 interviews with The Associated Press during the last two weeks, many players voiced growing worry about the physical and emotional toll professional football takes. Seau’s suicide resonated among the 13 rookies, 17 active veterans and 10 retirees, with more than half of each group saying it pushed them to consider their future in the sport or the difficulties of adjusting to postNFL life.

It’s one thing to read about hundreds of guys they’ve never heard of suing the league because of neurological problems traced to a career long ago. It’s quite another to find out about Seau, a charismatic, recent star for the Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots who played in the Super Bowl.

“The difference with Junior for many folks my age or younger is that I played against Junior a bunch. He was a peer. It’s more impactful. Not to suggest I had a great friendship with Junior or knew him off the field. I didn’t. It’s simply closer to home for me than a guy who played in the ’70s or ’80s,” said Pete Kendall, a starting offensive lineman from 1996-2008 for the Seahawks, Cardinals, Jets and Redskins. “All of those kinds of situations are horrible, but Junior’s situation probably would have people re-examining things.”

Indeed it did.

Even less-experienced NFL players in their mid20s were forced to face some complicated questions in recent weeks.

In this Aug. 14, 2006, file photo, former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau pauses before speaking to reporters and fans during a news conference announcing his retirement at the team's training facility in San Diego.

“You can’t avoid thinking about how the game might be affecting your future. Even something as small as forgetting where I put my keys. I know everyone does that from time to time, but am I forgetful because of football?

Have I already done damage to my brain playing the game?” Packers tight end Tom Crabtree, who’s played two seasons in the league, wrote in an email.

“When you see a guy we all assume to be so happy and successful take his own life, it’s disturbing. I worry about how happy I am with life right now and wonder if the damage is too much to overcome. … It’s like these brain injuries really turn you into another person,” Crabtree wrote. “It slowly chops away at your happiness. Nothing you can do about it.”

He was one of a dozen players who, unprompted, mentioned brain disease or concussions in connection with Seau, even though there has been no evidence of either with the linebacker, who played from 1990 to 2009.

“The obvious questions arise: Was it depression?

Brain damage? I’ve been reading a lot of different articles about it. I personally believe that concussions will definitely give you some sort of brain damage. Was that the cause? We won’t know for sure until they examine his brain,” former Chargers, Dolphins and Vikings receiver Greg Camarillo said. “But it definitely makes you think, as someone who has played this sport, about the damage that can be caused.”

Explained rookie receiver Mohamed Sanu, chosen by the Bengals in the third round of April’s draft: “You kind of wonder about your safety and your health and wonder if you’ll be like that one day.”

Players frequently mentioned that Seau’s suicide prompted heartfelt conversations with spouses or close pals.

“As soon as something like that happens, you start calling all your friends to make sure they’re OK, just checking on everybody,” said Ken Norton Jr., who retired in 2000 after 13 seasons as a linebacker for the Cowboys and 49ers and now coaches that position with the Seahawks. “It just opens your eyes and makes you more aware of what each other is going through and ask that extra question, give that extra hug, to make sure there aren’t any problems we don’t know about.”

Matt Bowen, a former defensive back for the Redskins, Bills, Rams and Packers whose last season was 2006, got a telephone call from a college teammate the day Seau died. “‘I just want to tell you if you’re ever down, you’re ever depressed, just call me.’ He was worried. …

My buddy from Iowa calling hit home a little bit,” Bowen said. “A little doubt creeps into the back of my mind: Well, maybe this could happen to me.”

In responding to the AP’s questions, rookies were, to a man, certain the league is making things as safe as possible for them. They, of course, have yet to participate in their first training camp or game.

But players who’ve spent time in the NFL were split on whether they’re properly equipped for what might await down the road. Asked whether the league is doing all it can to take care of players’ financial, mental, physical and neurological health, particularly when it comes to having a good life in retirement, 13 veterans or retirees said yes, while 11 said no.

“There’s a program for everything, but it can’t prepare you for everything. Most people find out about the real world when they’re 18 or 19. ExNFL players find out about it at 30 or 35,” said 39-year-old Jon Kitna, a quarterback for the Seahawks, Bengals, Lions

and Cowboys from 19972011.

“You might think you’ve got it bad in football, because it can be a grind and you might think meetings are a drag, but the real world gives you a totally different mindset,” said Kitna, now teaching algebra and coaching football at the high school he attended in Tacoma, Wash. “There are a lot of programs available, but you have to search for the answers. That’s harder for athletes, because they’ve been given answers their whole life.”

Said Bowen: “I understand players who say, ‘They just throw you out the back door.’ … I would love to have guaranteed insurance. I think every NFL player would. It’d make life a lot easier. I’m 35, I have aches and pains. What am I going to be like at 45? I can’t tell you that.”

As for money matters, Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who’s heading into his sixth season, said: “I wouldn’t say the NFL takes care of players financially for the future. The NFL makes sure this is a drug-free league. You can’t use steroids or street drugs; they’re testing every week for that. But in terms of taking care of your finances, it’s not something they push every week like they do with drugs. There’s not a push that makes it mandatory for players to learn how to manage their money, or to set up life insurance or 401Ks.” The two men in charge of post-career programs at the NFL and the NFL Players Association readily admit there is room for improvement.

“Do I think enough is being done? A lot is being done. Can we do more?

Yes,” said NFL Vice President of Player Engagement Troy Vincent, a former defensive back in the league.

But he also put the onus on players for not participating in what’s available

Heat bully way back into series MIAMI (AP) — Miami took a big step forward.

Indiana lost two forwards.

Suddenly, the road back to the Eastern Conference finals no longer looks daunting for the Heat.

LeBron James scored 30 points, Dwyane Wade added 28, and the Heat moved a win away from the NBA’s final four with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Pacers on Tuesday night.

The Heat lead the best-of-seven East semifinals 3-2, with Game 6 in Indiana on Thursday night.

James added 10 rebounds and eight assists. Shane Battier scored 13 points, Mario Chalmers had eight points and 11 rebounds, and Udonis Haslem finished with 10 points for Miami, which never trailed.

Paul George scored 11 points for Indiana, with starting forwards Danny Granger and David West adding 10 points apiece.

Granger left with a sprained left ankle in the third quarter, and West left with what the Pacers called a left knee sprain at the end of that period.

Miami shot a franchise playoff-record 61 percent, best of any team in the playoffs this season. It was an 11-point game when Granger departed early in the third quarter, and the Heat outscored the Pacers by 21 the rest of the way.

After losing two of the first three games of the series, the Heat are in control once again getting there after a wire-to-wire win Tuesday, with just one time where things seemed in some doubt.

The margin was as big as 37 points in the final moments.

Fujita claims innocence BEREA (AP) — Forced to fight for his name in a “public trial” against the NFL, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita vowed he did not participate in the New Orleans Saints’ bounty program.

Fujita, suspended for three games by the league for allegedly contributing “a significant amount” of money to a pay-for-hits pool while he played for the Saints, maintained his innocence on Tuesday in his first public comments since the disturbing scandal broke.

“That is not true,” he said.

The 10-year veteran has appealed the penalty handed down by commissioner Roger Goodell.

Fujita, however, said he’s more determined to clear his name and protect his

image than making sure he’s in Cleveland’s starting lineup for the season opener on Sept. 9.

“Listen,” he said, his voice rising. “My reputation is a lot more valuable to me than three game checks (about $644,000).

My track record speaks for itself.”

Fujita was one of four players reprimanded by the league following its investigation into the Saints’ bounty program, which was run by former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams from 2009-11. New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma was suspended for the entire season, Green Bay defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove was suspended eight games and Saints defensive end Will Smith for four.

Brumbaugh

Devils

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 Something that may play an even bigger role Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be pretty hot,â&#x20AC;? Brumbaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to stay hydrated and get a lot of water in my body now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to play some long matches, so I need to get used to the heat. It was a big factor last week, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want that to happen to me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be even hotter than Saturday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be around 95 degrees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the hottest day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen all year,â&#x20AC;? Davidson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep him hydrated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working hard this week. But he just saw what can happen

last week. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink, he knows what happens.â&#x20AC;?

Brumbaugh will face Cambridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aaron Ruby in the first round. Should he win, he would face either Hunting Valley University Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy Lennon â&#x20AC;Ś or Wildman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was one of the first things he saw when he saw the draw,â&#x20AC;?

Davidson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could get a second chance against the guy he lost to at district. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to this weekend.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very excited.â&#x20AC;?

No matter what happens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just making it to state is a big accomplishment for me,â&#x20AC;? Brumbaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever else happens now is just icing on the cake.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x2013; Major League Baseball

Reds â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 homer game with two solo shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hit some, we hit some. Ten in two games is a lot, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care what ballpark youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that.â&#x20AC;?

The Reds moved a season-high four games over .500 at 23-19 with their fourth straight win.

Beachy is one of the majorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best at keeping the ball in the park every park except Great American, that is. He hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given up two homers in a game since his start there on July 24.

Took him only four innings to top it, giving up a career-high three.

The right-hander had allowed only one homer in his first eight games this season, tied for fewest in the majors by a starter.

Phillips hit a full-count pitch 422 feet to center field for a 2-0 lead in the first inning, setting the tone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to make the ballpark an excuse for any of those three home runs,â&#x20AC;? said Beachy, who came in leading the majors with a 1.33 ERA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the three pitches was where they were supposed to be. Other than

those three pitches, I pitched the way I wanted to tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Cozart hit his second homer in two games, and Phillips led off the fourth inning with another homer for a 4-2 lead. It was Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ninth career multihomer game and the fifth by a Reds player this season.

In addition to getting some tips by watching video of his swing, Phillips got a pointer from Braves third baseman Chipper Jones before the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got good hands, use your hands,â&#x20AC;? Phillips said.

Mat Latos (3-2) gave up five hits, including the first of Bournâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two homers, in seven innings to win his third straight decision.

Left-hander Aroldis Chapman fanned two in the ninth for his second save, hitting 100 mph three times in 18 pitches.

The Cuban pitched for the first time since his arrest early Monday morning for driving 93 mph on an interstate in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Police said he had a suspended license.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 has to be sky-high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly considering its relative lack of experience at this level of the tournament. Tippecanoe reached the regional semifinal last season, but only a handful of the current players saw the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday we started three freshmen, three sophomores and three juniors. We had a senior playing the outfield, but a junior DHed for him,â&#x20AC;? Cahill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal was to get this far because of the

TROY DAILY NEWS â&#x20AC;˘ WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM

youth of the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see them lose after only one tournament game. But because of where we are now, I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be even hungrier next year no matter what happens. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be hungrier and better.â&#x20AC;?

Which is scary considering just how hungry they are now heading into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional semifinal against Wyoming at the University of Dayton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally these guys are out hitting on Sunday

on their own. After Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, we told them they could have Sunday off and then have three good days of practice before Thursday,â&#x20AC;? Cahill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So on Sunday Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting texts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we need the keys to get into the cages.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They spend a lot of their own time practicing.â&#x20AC;?

Which will all come in handy when facing Wyoming, which pounded Alter 9-2 in its own district final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good team.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re solid, about 16-11,

but playing in Cincinnati â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of the teams down there are pretty good,â&#x20AC;?

Cahill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get to this point, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot of run-rules, though.

You see a lot of close games, games where whoever makes the least errors or puts the ball in play most ends up winning. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us.â&#x20AC;?

And after Saturday, the Devils learned that anything is possible.

â&#x2013; Major League Baseball

Another thriller Perez makes it interesting in Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win over Tigers CLEVELAND (AP) Chris Perez, greeted by a standing ovation from the time he left the bullpen, worked another scary ninth inning for his 14th save as the Cleveland Indians ended a 10-game losing streak to Detroit with a 5-3 win over the Tigers on Tuesday night.

Perez had been critical of recent booing during an appearance and called the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; major leagueworst attendance â&#x20AC;&#x153;an embarrassmentâ&#x20AC;? for a firstplace club. He put two runners on in the ninth before striking out Miguel Cabrera and then getting Prince Fielder on a grounder to short.

Perez hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blown a save since opening day.

Ubaldo Jimenez (5-3) cautiously worked through the meat of Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup and lasted six innings as the first-place Indians beat the AL Central favorites and Rick Porcello (4-3).

Travis Hafner had two RBIs for the Indians, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beaten the Tigers since Aug. 10 last season.

With Cleveland leading 5-3, Perez jogged in from the bullpen as Prodigyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firestarterâ&#x20AC;? boomed from Progressive Fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loudspeakers. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a single boo to be heard as

Cleveland Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Casey Kotchman, right, is tagged out by Detroit Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alex Avila at home plate in the eighth inning Tuesday in Cleveland. Kotchman tried to score on a fly out by Asdrubal Cabrera. The Indians won 5-3. the right-hander kicked the dirt around the rubber.

After getting one out, he walked Ramon Santiago and when Andy Dirks followed with a single, the 15,049 fans many of them Detroit backers grew restless. But Perez fanned Cabrera looking, punctuating his strikeout with a fist pump. He then retired Fielder on a grounder to short, and as fireworks erupted overhead, Perez slapped hands with catcher Carlos Santana before heading to the dugout.

Alex Avila hit a threerun homer for the Tigers, who slammed shut Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff hopes last season by winning the final 10 games between the AL Central rivals.

Before Perez came on, Vinnie Pestano worked a perfect eighth, striking out Avila to end the inning.

Pestano set a team record for a reliever by striking out at least one batter in 22 consecutive outings since Sept. 25.

Jimenez didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any chances with Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big bats.

He walked Cabrera three times, struck out Fielder once and got the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; high-priced slugger, whose $23 million salary this season is a third of Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire payroll, to bounce into a double play in the fifth.

It was another positive performance for the inconsistent Jimenez, who allowed three runs and three hits and managed to work around his lack of control. He walked six, but was only burned by one of them as a one-out pass set up Avilaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer in the second.

Porcello gave up four earned runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. The loss was only the right-handerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second in seven career decisions against Cleveland.

Cleveland snapped a 3-3 tie with two runs in the sixth off Porcello on Casey Kotchmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI single and Jose Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI double.

Although the Tigers were the ones who put the Indians away last season, neither manager would put much importance on the first matchup of 2012, but Perez said it would be a gauge for Cleveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good measuring stick,â&#x20AC;? he Perez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have the most talent in the division, they won it last year. They won 10 in a row from us at the end and that was probably the difference in why we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the playoffs.â&#x20AC;?

Perez wanted to shift the spotlight back to the Indians after making some inflammatory comments about being booed at home and the Indiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poor attendance.

Before the game, the

opinionated right-hander made it clear he does not want to be traded and said he has received some positive feedback from fans who agreed the Indians should be getting more support and media attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want out,â&#x20AC;? Perez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to win. I like it here. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m comfortable here.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not out. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here.â&#x20AC;?

Shin-Soo Choo, batting .394 with a .487 on-base percentage in eight games since moving into the leadoff spot on May 14, opened the fifth with a double and moved to third on Porcelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild pitch. Hafner lifted a fly ball to medium center to drive in Choo..

NOTES: The Tigers tied a club record by going 110 games since their last shutout.
