Harrah pleads guilty Co-worker sentenced for misuse, theft of publicly owned property

Duncan left his mark on Hollywood Michael Clarke Duncan was one big, irresistible jumble of contradictions. His presence was formidable, even intimidating: The former bodyguard had a muscular, 6-foot-4 frame, but it was topped by the brightest of megawatt smiles. His gravelly baritone was well-suited to everything from animated films to action spectacles, but no matter the role, a warmth and a sweetness was always evident underneath. The prolific character actor, whose dozens of movies included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in “The Green Mile” and box office hits including “Armageddon,” ”Planet of the Apes” and “Kung Fu Panda,” died Monday at age 54.

A new driving ban is in effect for motorists who text and drive while using wireless communication devices.

Texting-while-driving law now in effect No penalty till March, though BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com As of Friday, Aug. 31, drivers statewide can be pulled over for texting while driving, though they will just be given a warning until March 1. After that grace period, drivers face a $150 fine on the first offense. The law is harsher on those younger than 18, who are prohibited from using any sort of hand-held electronic device for any purpose — not just limited to texting. Calling, emailing or flipping through an iPod, among other actions, are all illegal as well. Such violations are a primary offense for the younger set, meaning they can be pulled over for using an electronic device without any other wrongdoing. For those 18 and older, texting

TROY while driving is a secondary offense, meaning drivers must violate another law to be pulled over. Miami County Chief Deputy Dave Duchak said an across-theboard ban would have been much preferred by law enforcement. “It’s a start, but it’s going to be very difficult for the officers,” Duchak said. “It’s an unfair burden on officers to guess if it’s a primary stop or a secondary stop.” Defense attorneys could also allege that a person was illegally pulled over, should the individual have been mistakenly believed to be under 18, he added. Doug Loughead, director of AAA Driving School, said the law addresses a serious problem,

though he would prefer the harsher penalty for younger drivers applied to all. “I’d like to see it as a primary offense for everybody because it’s such a hazard,” Loughead said. “The risk is enormous — and deadly. I can’t emphasize that enough.” Loughead said he uses an exercise in his class intended to parallel the distraction of texting while driving. Students must first separate a deck of cards by suit and then next perform the same task while performing simple mathematical problems. He finds that students take about 50 percent longer to divide the cards. “That illustrates that when you’re distracted, you’re usually not good at a simple task. You can’t pay attention,” Loughead said. Looking down for about four or five seconds while texting means the driver has looked away for a few hundred feet — a large risk.

Describing the county’s maintenance department as a “culture of corruption” that goes beyond internal employees, prosecutors struck a plea agreement with the department’s former director Tuesday in court while another exdepartment employee was sentenced to prison for his involvement in misusing and stealing publiclyowned property. Making his initial court appearance, Jarrod Harrah, 39, of Troy, entered three guilty pleas to the third-degree felonies of theft in office, tampering with records and tampering with evidence at the hearing where he waived a grand jury’s consideration of his charges. He faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison, $30,000 in fines and making full restitution for county-owned property not recovered by authorities following an ongoing investigation launched in May. Harrah, who was the county’s facilities and safety director who made $44,379 annually, is tentatively scheduled to undergo his sentencing hearing Oct. 22. He remains out of jail on a recognizance bond. He is a former Troy City

Council member and president of the Miami County Republican Men’s Club. According to his indictment, Harrah committed the crimes between March 1, 2010, through June 1. Special Prosecutor Andrew Wilson called Harrah “a major suspect.” “From the get-go the state of Ohio made it very clear that at the sentencing of this matter the state of Ohio will be asking or seeking a prison sentence,” Wilson said, adding that for Harrah’s continued cooperation the prosecution will recom- HARRAH mend a concurrent sentence. “There is no doubt about it.” He added: “Mr. Harrah’s plea pretty much concludes the investigation against internal maintenance department employees. However, it is still an ongoing investigation and we still expect more charges to follow.” Wilson said restitution won’t be ordered for much of the equipment Harrah took because it was all recovered, but said Harrah will need to make $1,240.80 in restitution regarding county scrap metal he sold. At the hearing Harrah spoke lit-

tle except to answer routine questions from the judge. Asked if he understood the charges against him, he replied, “Yes, your honor.” He faces the maximum sentence of three years in prison and fines totaling $30,000. A presentence investigation was ordered for Harrah, who had no comment after his hearing. Meanwhile, Bruce Ball, 61, of Troy, the department’s former team leader who entered a guilty plea to a felony count of theft in office in July, received a 60-month community control sanction sentence. He also will serve five days in jail at a later time. In addition, Ball is disqualified from holding public office for the rest of his life, was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine, and the pension board will be notified of the outcome of his case — all conditions expected for Harrah, too. Wilson said Ball “got caught up in the culture of corruption” taking place at the maintenance department, but added he “certainly wasn’t the ringleader.” “He did violate the public trust in allowing access to the equipment that belonged to the county,” the special prosecutor said. “He was a

minor player in the whole scheme of theft going on over there.” Ball apologized in court if his actions embarrassed the county. “I’m very apologetic for my actions and for any embarrassment I brought on the (county) commissioners, Miami County or the courts.” Under questioning of visiting Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein, Ball said “We would borrow things and bring them back. I had no knowledge of theft or anything larger than that. … It was my understanding that if we borrowed them (equipment) we would bring them back and if we broke them we would replace them.” Ball’s attorney, Robert Huffman Jr., said his client is “clearly remorseful” and has cooperated fully in the investigation. “How much of a problem is this, is this a systemic problem within the culture of the maintenance department of Miami County? We would hope not,” Hein said as he imposed the sentence. “When people handle public money or other public property there is an expectation that it will be handled correctly.” Hein added that should Ball fail the terms of his probation he will be sentenced to prison for six months. Three other men in the depart-

• CONTINUED FROM 1 has been tight. During the council meeting, supporters of the rezoning were first asked to speak during the public hearing, followed by opponents. Greg Taylor, a board member of St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen, said after “an exhausted search” in which 15 different sites were considered, the Mulberry and Water streets location was deemed the most fitting for the soup kitchen, which may be renamed Hobart Community Kitchen, he added.

He addressed several concerns presented at previous council and planning commission meetings, stating that there is no evidence that the soup kitchen would lower property values or otherwise diminish downtown’s appeal. Parking would also not be an issue, he added, because few patrons drive: at one meal at the current location, only five of 70 drove, he pointed out. Taylor stated that the new kitchen is merely two blocks and a three-minute walk from the current location. “When was the last time a citizen stood in front of

council and complained about the soup kitchen?” he asked. Soup kitchen founder Dick Steineman also spoke, stating that the organization is run as conservatively as possible, and thus choosing a reasonably priced location is highly important. Residents opposed to the rezoning reasoned that “spot zoning” could prove detrimental to the neighborhood, while others addressed the soup kitchen issue directly, citing concerns about property values, community safety and the prestige of the city. Some residents opposed to

the soup kitchen move said their businesses had partnered with Steineman in the past and that they were supportive of the organization, but the new location was not the right choice. Don Willis, president of the nonprofit Troy Community Works, said he is not opposed to the soup kitchen, but to the choice of location. He recently invested $50,000 in a property that backs up to the proposed site, and he plans to invest an additional $300,000. Moving the soup kitchen would create problems with the parking lot and in finding commercial tenants, he stated.

“It is a visible sign of disinvestment and economic hardship,” he said. Troy business owner Patty Rose said moving the soup kitchen jeopardizes all the recent economic investment on East Main Street. “This is merely just not the place it ought to be,” she said, adding that particular zoning is in place for a reason. Following the public hearing, the ordinance had its second reading. The law and ordinance committee will host another forum at 6 p.m. Thursday to provide a recommendation to council regarding the rezoning.

cy. He said he takes “full responsibility” for his actions. “I took advantage of my position in the band … as well as the trust in me these girls had,” he said. “It’s brought a lot of shame to me and my family.” The former singer of the locally known band Ludlow Falls, Brunsveld was taken into custody by authorities Jan. 31 after a school

resource officer at MiltonUnion High School received information concerning alleged sexual misconduct by Brunsveld involving a 15year-old girl. Brunsveld was “utilizing Facebook to meet and communicate with potential victims” and used the popular social media website to forge relationships with potential victims, according to sheriff’s office Chief Deputy Dave

Duchak. Lindeman said Brunsveld’s actions concerned him since reports state Brunsveld allowed the victims, all underage juvenile girls, to smoke pot before engaging them sexually. “That’s a problem for me,” the judge said. “To take advantage of kids, I don’t like that.” Lindeman pointed out during the sentencing that there are “a lot of victims, at least four” and possibly more. After serving his sentence, Brunsveld must complete five years of mandatory parole.

Brunsveld was convicted of felony importuning in Montgomery County in August involving another juvenile female and was given a five-year term of probation, was ordered to have no contact with any of the victims in the case and to undergo aggressive sex offender counselling. He faced the maximum sentence of three years in prison, and in addition to his sentence, Brunsveld is prohibited from residing within 1,000 feet of a school. The band Brunsveld was once lead vocalist for has since renamed the band.

Sentenced with corrupting another with drugs, but that charge has since been dropped. Lindeman sentenced Brunsveld to one year on each count, but ran both sentences concurrently. In court Brunsveld apologized for his actions and to the victims and families affected by his sexual devian-

ment were placed on paid administrative leave once the investigation began and charges have not and will not be filed against them, but the investigation remains ongoing, Wilson said. Ball, who earned $17.68 an hour, was ordered to pay restitution since the stolen equipment in his possession was later seized by authorities and consisted of a lawn mower and a leaf blower. Ball and his attorney had no comment after the court sentencing. On May 29, county commissioners approved the suspensions of Harrah and Ball, who later resigned, after the sheriff’s office continued to investigate the case, which began after individuals came forward with allegations concerning “inappropriate handling of county equipment and purchases,” sheriff’s officials said. Since that time detectives have seized truckloads of equipment that were taken from the homes of the two men, which include lawn mowers, weed eaters, power tools, hand tools, composite saws and a wide variety of assorted tools and lawn care equipment, along with several other items. Miami County officials recused themselves from the case, which is why a visiting judge and a special prosecutor were assigned to the cases.

ME FFA recognized by national organization The National FFA Organization recently selected the Miami East FFA Chapter of Casstown, Ohio as a 3-Star National Chapter for the National FFA Chapter Award Program. A 3-star is the highest award a chapter can be recognized for in the National Chapter process. In order to be considered for such an honor, the Miami East FFA Chapter had to place in the top 10 percent in the state of Ohio. In May, the chapter learned that they were in the Top 10 in the state and would have their application forwarded to national evaluations. This is the 12th straight year that the Miami East FFA Chapter will be recognized at the National FFA Convention in their National Chapter Award program. Two students will receive the plaque on stage during the National FFA Convention, October 25th in Indianapolis, Ind. The National FFA Chapter Award program recognized FFA chapters for developing and conducting a detailed Program of Activities. These activities and projects provide opportunities for members to achieve in the areas of student, chapter or community development. Every year, chapters are recognized as having earned a one-, two-, or three-star rating on their National Chapter application. The award is sponsored by the John Deere Company and the National FFA Foundation.

CASSTOWN Olivia Edgell and Rian Kingrey have been selected for the National Agriscience Fair with their research project entitled, “How Clean Are Your Hands?” The members tested common hand soaps to see how clean they got their hands using a black light and special light-sensitive lotion. They qualified for this opportunity because they placed first in the State Agriscience Fair in May, submitted a written proposal to the National Agriscience Fair and were selected as one of the top 15 proposals in the country in their category. They will be interviewed on Thursday, Oct. 25. The National Agriscience Fair is sponsored by Syngenta, Cargill, and the National FFA Foundation. Kyle Roeth will receive his American FFA Degree on Oct. 27. This is an honor that only 3,500 FFA members across the country will accomplish. Roeth’s application was forwarded to the National FFA because he has been a successful leader, been involved in various community service activities, earned at least $7,500 from his Supervised Agricultural Experience program and been an active member of the FFA. The American FFA Degree is sponsored by Case IH, DTN-The Progressive Farmer, Farm Credit, Pioneer and Syngenta as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

Additionally, the Miami East FFA Chapter is guided by strong leadership provided by the 2012-13 officer team. The team met over the summer in a Summer Officer Retreat to plan for the upcoming school year and FFA activities. The officers are: Emily Johnson, president; Sarah Pyers, vice president; Lauren Williams, secretary; Kendra Beckman, treasurer; Rebekah Eidemiller, reporter; Kolin Bendickson, sentinel; Colin Hawes, student adviser; and Corrine Melvin, chaplain. Their advisor is Marie Carity. The Miami East Ag Ed Program is a satellite program of the Miami Valley Career Technology Center. The National FFA Organization, formally known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 540,379 student members – all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture – as part of 7,489 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

Edison takes steps online for tutoring For the Troy Daily News Students who are looking for additional help with their classroom assignments at Edison Community College are now able to rely on a series of free online tutoring services that are available through the college and the University System of Ohio. Last year, the college expanded the availability of eTutoring, a free online assistance program to all Edison Students. The program allows students to obtain assistance in their classes by submitting questions via email through the website and in live chat rooms. “Last spring, we had around 100 hours per week of tutoring provided to our students through eTutoring here at Edison,” said Loleta Collins, assistant dean of Academic Advancement. “This has enabled the

Learning Center to double our availability on a weekly basis.” Edison’s Learning Center is a free service located on campus in the library that provides academic tutoring and resources to students free of charge and additional resources to students enrolled in developmental courses, first generation college students, students with learning disabilities and students re-entering school after a long absence. A similar online tutoring service being employed at Edison and several other colleges around Ohio is the newly launched Scaffold To The Stars. The service is an OhioLINK program, and has partnered with Edison and six other colleges throughout Ohio to support students taking a sequence of math courses, as well as applied engineering statics. Edison’s involvement

PIQUA began when associate professor of mechanical engineering Tom Looker began working on a textbook affordability grant with faculty from Miami University and Sinclair Community College. It would eventually bring the engineering statics course into the Scaffold To The Stars program, which at the time was only being used to support math classes. “Knowledge isn’t something that’s placebound anymore,” said Looker. “This type of structure applies to every kind of learner out there and gives them the ability to go back and review and rely on more sources. We’re now looking to refine what we have and make it more robust.” Students enrolled in the class have not had to pur-

chase a textbook for the past two years. Outside of the classroom, Edison has worked to make the eTutoring program even more accessible, with more “live chat” features and turnaround times for responses that rarely exceed 48 hours. By logging onto www.etutoring.org, Edison students can review an extensive resource library that is full of tips, techniques for improving writing skills and links to information on other subject areas. New resources are continually being added and available for download. To get started, students need to go online to www.etutoring.org, log in, select the Ohio eTutoring Collaborative and then select Edison Community College. Students can then use their Edison student ID as their username and “edison” for the initial pass-

word. Passwords can be changed after the first session. One of the largest requests on eTutoring has been for assistance with writing assignments and paper reviews, according to Collins. Through the Online Writing Lab, students can request help with a variety of writing assignments, including essays, research papers and lab reports, by submitting their work for an online review. Students provide an eTutor with as much information as possible about the assignment, and then upload the document to be reviewed. Tutors then respond by offering recommendations on improving what has been written within 24 to 48 hours. There is also live assistance available for academic questions from one of the live eTutors. A student and tutor can work together in a dynamic web conferencing environment integrated into the platform. After

logging into eTutoring.org, the student can check to see if there is a tutor available in the subject area, and go right into the chat room. A weekly tutoring schedule is maintained to allow for students to get the help they need in math (developmental to calculus) and statistics. Additionally, students can post a question in any of the subject areas, including writing. From here, eTutors will be able to assist them to develop strategies to find answers or resolve problems on their own. Although tutors do not serve to correct grammar or solve any math, statistics or other problems for a student, they do provide the guidance necessary to solve the problem. Students can review an extensive resource library that is full of tips, techniques for improving writing skills and links to information on other subject areas. New resources are continually being added.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Should the federal government regulate school lunches?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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 Los Angeles Times on the Apple vs. Samsung decision: After finding Samsung liable for more than $1 billion in damages for infringing Apple’s iPhone and iPad patents, members of a federal jury told reporters that they hoped to deter companies from copying one another instead of developing their own designs and features. That’s a laudable goal, and the public would surely benefit from more choice and differentiation among products. The challenge is in distinguishing between the sorts of innovations that should receive patent protection and the ones that shouldn’t. We don’t mean to second-guess the jurors or defend Samsung, which was found to have deliberately imitated Apple’s iPhone designs and some of its functions. If companies were able to wait for their rivals to come up with successful devices, then rush out copycat versions with confusingly similar features, there would be less money spent on R&D and more on marketing. Nevertheless, it’s worth remembering that Apple made its name building successful, even iconic products based on ideas that other companies pioneered. The iPhone, for example, was a significantly better version of the smartphones Nokia As I introduced more than a decade earlier.

Up to now, the government of Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa was better known for stifling freedom of the press at home than for championing the free flow of information. If ever there was an odd coupling of convenience, this is certainly it. There’s no mystery over why Assange, a 41-year-old Australian, should choose to go on the run, defy his bail conditions in Britain and seek asylum in any country willing to stick its neck out for him — any port in a storm, and Ecuador’s embassy in London would do as well as any other. But for Correa, the only way to explain this strange and otherwise inexplicable maneuver is the president’s apparently urgent desire to burnish his anti-American credentials and claim for himself some of the notoriety and adulation from leftist sympathizers that he feels is his due. Next door in Venezuela, poor Hugo Chávez must be beside himself with envy to see a neighbor steal the anti-yanqui spotlight: Why didn’t he take cover in my embassy? … It’s equally absurd for Assange, whose supporters see him as an antiauthoritarian hero, to align himself with a budding despot like Correa while claiming to be a martyr for freedom of information. … Ecuador should reserve asylum for genuine victims of government persecution, rather than grant it to a figure who disdains the laws of two democracies (Britain and Sweden) in pursuit of his own political agenda. To end the impasse, Ecuador should seek assurances from Sweden that Assange’s rights will be respected, then persuade him that leaving the embassy is the best option for everyone.

How is it already September? Troy Troy Somehow Labor Day was this week, but I swear it was just the Fourth of July yesterday. Where did the time go? Though summer doesn’t officially end till late September, we all know that the closing of the community pool is the real end of summer. And like most years, I wish I had spent more time out in the sun. I’m of the (dermatologist-unapproved) mindset that I need to get tan enough to last a month or two into fall. When a few bleary, cloudy months await, no amount of sun is ever too much. I didn’t seem to have as many poolside days, hiking adventures, evening cookouts or summer road trips as I anticipated. Around Memorial Day, the number of summer days seemed endless. And now they’ve basically come to a close. Note to self: the days of a glistening pool, 90-degree weather and sunshine till 9 p.m. are indeed numbered. But I’m not at all forlorn about the passing of summer

Natalie Knoth Troy Daily News Columnist and the upcoming arrival of fall. In fact, I’m downright giddy, as evidenced by the fact that I’ve already scoured the aisles of Halloween candy at my neighborhood drugstore and have dogeared page after page of cozy sweaters and seasonal recipes in October magazines. I haven’t yet made a trip to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte, but it’s calling my name. Whenever this time of year rolls around, I’m always reminded of one of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite books, “The Great Gatsby”: “’Don’t be morbid,’ Jordan said. ‘Life starts all over again when

it gets crisp in the fall.’” Indeed it does. Schools are in session, college kids leave, work kicks into high gear (maybe?). But it’s the upcoming holidays and the promise of lots of food, fun and festivities that gets me really pumped. Sure, Halloween is still a month and a half away, but this OU grad has already floated around some costume ideas, none of which I will share here. You might one day find me in the aisles of Wal-Mart, sifting through the assortment and trying a few on. I’m also looking forward to enjoying caramel apples and pumpkin pie/ale/cookies/lattes/etc. Pumpkin might be my favorite ingredient to bake with — the delectable scent that fills the kitchen is simply unmatched. Finally, those fall candles I burn will meet their real-life counterpart. Plus nights involving haunted houses, hayrides, bonfires and s’mores… those really can’t be beat.The quintessential autumn night — decked out in

warm knits, huddling up close to your friends, relishing in the sheer youthfulness of it all. Though come to think of it… I didn’t partake in any of those things last year. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want to. I guess just like summer, the anticipation is half the fun. Hopefully some of this seasonal stuff will actually come to fruition. Of course, there are some things in fall that I’m not looking forward to— such as shopping for long pants (instead of my summer staple, the sundress). Shopping for jeans or work pants is a disastrous ego-crushing experience for my vertically challenged self. Sitting at a football game pretending to care about sports is another experience I could do without. Raking leaves isn’t too fun either. But jumping in leaves? Count me in.

Gentle-giant star Michael Clarke Duncan dead at 54 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Clarke Duncan was one big, irresistible jumble of contradictions. His presence was formidable, even intimidating: The former bodyguard had a muscular, 6-foot-4 frame, but it was topped by the brightest of megawatt smiles. His gravelly baritone was well-suited to everything from animated films to action spectacles, but no matter the role, a warmth and a sweetness was always evident underneath. The prolific character actor, whose dozens of movies included an Oscarnominated performance as a death row inmate in “The Green Mile” and box office hits including “Armageddon,” ”Planet of the Apes” and “Kung Fu Panda,” died Monday at age 54. And although he only turned to acting in his 30s, it’s clear from the outpouring of prayers and remembrances he received across the Hollywood and sports worlds that his gentle-giant persona made him muchloved during that relatively brief time. Duncan died at CedarsSinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiance, reality TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily. Duncan “suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” the statement said. “Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date.” Tom Hanks, star of 1999’s “The Green Mile” the film that earned a then-little-known Duncan a supporting-actor nomination at

This undated image provided by Warner Bros. shows Tom Hanks, left, Michael Clarke Duncan, center, and David Morse in “The Green Mile.” the Academy Awards said he was “terribly saddened at the loss of Big Mike. He was the treasure we all discovered on the set of ‘The Green Mile.’ He was magic. He was a big love of man and his passing leaves us stunned.” “I will miss my friend, Michael Clarke Duncan,” comedian and talk-show host Steve Harvey said on Twitter. “What an incredible soldier in God’s Plan.” Other sad and shocked reactions came from a diverse field that included Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, actresses Alexa Vega, Niecy Nash and Olivia Munn, and former boxing champion Lennox Lewis. In the spring of 2012, Duncan had appeared in a video for PETA, the animal rights organization, in which he spoke of how much better he felt since becoming a vegetarian three years earlier. “I cleared out my refrigerator, about $5,000 worth of meat,” he said. “I’m a lot healthier than I was when I was eating meat.” Duncan had a handful of minor roles before “The Green Mile” brought him accolades and fame. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the

same name, starred Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer with a surprisingly gentle demeanor and extraordinary healing powers. Duncan’s performance caught on with critics and moviegoers and he quickly became a favorite in Hollywood, appearing in several films a year. He owed some of his good fortune to Bruce Willis, who recommended Duncan for “The Green Mile” after the two appeared together in “Armageddon.” Duncan would work with Willis again in “Breakfast of Champions,” “The Whole Nine Yards” and “Sin City.” His industrial-sized build was suited for everything from superhero films (“Daredevil”) to comedy (“Talladega Nights,” “School for Scoundrels”). He could have made a career out of his voice work alone, with appearances in several animated and family movies, including, “Kung Fu Panda,” “Racing Stripes” and “Brother Bear.” Among Duncan’s television credits were “The Apprentice,” “Two and a Half Men,” “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” and a new series, “The Finder.”

Benjamin M. Platfoot USS FARRAGUT — Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Benjamin M. Platfoot — son of Michael A. Platfoot, of Tipp City and Suzanne H. Stein of Sidney — along with fellow Sailors aboard the guided missile destroyer USS Farragut and guided-missile cruiser USS Hue City recently conducted a series of maneuvers and interoperability drills in a passing exercise with an Italian frigate and submarine. The U.S. ships joined ITS Scire and ITS Luigi Durand de la Penne for two days of coalition training events to promote interoperability and partnership for the shared goal of maintaining safety and security of the region’s sea lanes. Many of the events stationed the Italian and American warships in close proximity of each other and required precision execution. By keeping strong ship-to-ship communications and leveraging expert seamanship, the ships completed all training events safely and successfully. On both days, all of the ships participating executed a number of naviga-

tional maneuvers, complemented by maritime warfare-specific events such as an anti-submarine warfare exercise and a maritime interdiction operations exercise. On day two, Farragut’s visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) team boarded Luigi Durand de la Penne in an exercise where the latter presented itself as a merchant vessel potentially smuggling illicit cargo. Farragut is deployed as part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG), supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility. The Eisenhower CSG includes aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), CSG 8, guidedmissile cruiser USS Hue City (CG 66), guided-missile destroyers USS Farragut (DDG 99), USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG 81) and USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109), as well as the seven squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 7 and Destroyer Squadron 28. Platfoot is a 2007 graduate of Sidney High School and joined the Navy in July 2007.

Word of the Week

uenos dias, amigos, y bienvenidos a Sud America. The message is, “Hello, friends, and welcome to South America!” The language is Spanish, which is spoken by most of the people who live in South America, our neighbor to the south. South America is made up of 12 countries, one French overseas department, and one colony. Because most of the continent was conquered by Spain in the 16th century, Spanish is the primary language in nine of the countries. The major exception is Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken.

In recent years, though, a small middle class of professional people and skilled workers has begun to form in the cities. Roman Catholicism is the primary religion in South America. Only Guyana is predominantly Protestant. Argentina has the largest Jewish population – 300,000 in 1988.

Plus, there are as many as 82 Indian languages still being spoken by small groups of people. South America is most often in the news because of the Amazon rain forest that covers nearly a third of the continent. The rain forest is home to an unknown number of species of plants and animals; the dense vegetation produces more than half of all the oxygen in the world. Yet more and more of the rain forest disappears every day because of clearing for development and for pasture land. All of the countries in South America have a small upper

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Wife should not use her depression as an excuse Dear Annie: Six months ago, I married a lovely young woman. While we were engaged, "Nina" and I had several candid discussions about finances, figuring that once we married, she would look for a job and we would split the household expenses evenly. Her parents were very generous and gave us a nice amount of money at the wedding in order to help smooth the transition until she found a job. Well, a few months after we married, Nina stopped looking for work. She suffers from chronic depression, and it got so bad that she refused to apply for a job, convinced that no one would hire her. She also refused to get counseling, saying she couldn't afford it, even though both her father and I offered to pay for it. I have worked my best to keep a roof over our heads and have even taken out loans in order to pay our bills, but I'm now $1,000 in debt. Recently, Nina's father gave her a large sum of money. I asked if she would use a small amount to pay one of our outstanding bills. She refused, saying that this was her money and she could spend it on whatever she wanted. Over the next week, that turned out to be fast food and cigarettes. Annie, was I unreasonable to ask for her financial help? — New York Dear New York: Of course not. Nina apparently does not consider herself to be in a partnership. She thinks you should support her. And it's possible that Nina combats her depression by spending money, eating and smoking. Nonetheless, this is not a tenable solution. She should not use her depression as an excuse to refuse help. We urge you to get counseling on your own and also contact NAMI (nami.org). Dear Annie: I am pregnant with my third child. Prior experience compels me to send my list of things you should never do or say to a pregnant woman: 1. Do not ask whether the pregnancy was planned. It is absolutely no one's business. 2. Hands off the belly. This is her personal space and should be respected. If you feel compelled to touch that elusive kick, always ask first -- and don't be insulted when she says no. 3. Please don't make comments that could be interpreted as "you're fat." My boss asked whether I was having twins because I was so big. Another person asked if I was due before Christmas when my due date was mid-March. 4. Please don't share unsolicited horror stories of labor and delivery. Expectant moms don't need more to worry about. Also, while I feel genuine sympathy for those who have experienced a miscarriage, hearing these stories only induces anxiety in the momto-be, which isn't good for her health or the baby's. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to vent. — Sharing the News in Pa. Dear Sharing: You're very welcome. And congratulations on your upcoming blessed event. Dear Annie: This is in reply to "Over-Seventy-Attitude," who prefers handwritten notes and not emails. Years ago, when postage was cheap, none of us thought anything of sending out lots of cards and greetings. These days, with postage being so high, people have to understand that if you're living on a fixed income, those costs add up, especially during holidays when there are lots of cards to send. I feel that the message contained within is what's important, not whether the card is a physical object or an email. Making sure that your friends and family receive your warm thoughts is what counts. Instead of chastising your friend for sending an email greeting, thank her for thinking of you and holding a place in her heart for you. — Florida Greetings Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie's Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.

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. MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

What’s the REAL measure of a cup of coffee? Dear Readers: A tasty cup of coffee is a nice way to start a day. I usually fix a large mug of “real” coffee, but when in a hurry, I grab instant. How many ounces of water are there in a “cup” of coffee? Eight should be the answer. But instant and brewed use 6 ounces as the measurement for a cup. Also, note this when measuring ground coffee to make a full pot. If brewed coffee is not strong enough for you, add a little instant for that extra flavor. — Heloise STUFFED PEPPERS Dear Heloise: My family likes stuffed peppers. I have found that a great way to prepare them is by

Hints from Heloise Columnist using a muffin pan. I stand the peppers up in the individual wells so they are easier to fill and don’t fall over. I don’t lose any filling, and I can bake them as they sit upright in the pan. Easy! — Angela D. in Texas FAST FUNNEL Dear Heloise: Whenever I would go to mix cinnamon and

sugar, I couldn’t find a funnel to help put it into the spice shaker with a tiny hole that I have. Here is what I did. I mixed up a little batch of the sugar and cinnamon in a paper coffee filter. Once mixed, I bundled up the filter and placed it over the hole in the shaker. Poking a little hole in the bottom of the filter (Heloise here: Poke the hole from the top going through the filter), I watched the mixture trickle down into the hole. This was so easy that I still won’t buy a funnel. Besides, what fun is life if you insist on doing things the easy way all the time? — J.D., via email BACON BOARD Dear Heloise: Much of the

bacon you buy comes with a hard plastic backing under the bacon slices. I keep a couple of these (Heloise here: be sure to thoroughly clean) to use as a cutting board when cutting a small amount of vegetables, etc. They are easy to clean and use while protecting your countertop. — Arthur, via email CHOCOLATE SYRUP Dear Heloise: My kids like to use chocolate syrup on ice cream, to dip fruit in, etc. When there is just a little bit left, I pour some milk into the chocolate container and swish it around a couple of times to make a “free” glass of chocolate milk. Yummy! — Betty E., Midland, Texas

Mississippi and Louisiana by late Monday. Over 15,000 of those claims came from Louisiana, and almost 12,000 of those were homeowners or business property claims. “Most of those property claims were roof damage. It may have been wind blowing and tearing shingles off the roof, or debris hitting the roof. A number of cases are from where trees or large limbs fell on the house,” he said. More than 3,000 were automobile claims, Stephenson said, and a large number of those were non-drivables, meaning the vehicle was rendered totally inoperable during the storm. He said several people without flood insurance approached the company at mobile claims sites in LaPlace, a city in St. John the Baptist Parish especially hard hit during the storm. “That’s very sad to see when that happens because it’s devastating when part of the apartment you’re renting or the home you have takes on water …,” Stephenson said. He said State Farm is the largest insurer in Louisiana and Mississippi, for help with water damage. Out of 17,000 homes in St. John the Baptist, a little over 6,000 residents, or 35 percent, had flood insurance policies. Carl Watts, a Region 6 liaison for FEMA, said disaster assistance is available for people who don’t have flood insurance through a loan program administered by the Small Business Administration. Grants can be used to help pay for temporary housing and emergency home repairs or for disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance. Nearly 95,000 people have signed for individual aid from FEMA, according to numbers provided by Gov. Bobby Jindal’s office.

Thousands file flood insurance claims after Isaac BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Thousands of flood insurance claims are being filed in the wake of Hurricane Isaac, a slow-moving storm that hammered several parishes in southern Louisiana with prolonged, drenching rains and tropical-storm force winds, leaving water damage in parishes that don’t typically experience flooding, officials said Tuesday. Commissioner of Insurance James Donelon said three parishes St. Tammany, Plaquemines and St. John the Baptist experienced an unusual amount of flooding. He said only 31 percent of Louisiana residents have flood insurance. The storm straddled the region for days last week, swamping homes with water up to four feet deep in some areas. Donelon has issued an emergency rule to prevent late fees, penalties, cancellations or non-renewals on insurance policies from hitting policyholders affected by Hurricane Isaac. The emergency order also allows residents with health insurance coverage to qualify for out-ofnetwork medical care if they are stranded in places away from their usual providers. Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners and renters insurance policies, but coverage is available as a separate policy under a federal program, the National Flood Insurance Program. The cost of flood insurance is set by federal officials and varies from location to location. Officials say flooding is the most expensive and most common natural disaster. Early estimates indicate at least 13,000 homes were damaged by Isaac. Gary Stephenson, a spokesman for State Farm Insurance Cos., said the insurance company had received 16,780 claims from

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, Sept. 15, the 259th day of 2012. There are 107 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 15, 1887, the city of Philadelphia launched a three-day celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States. On this date: • In 1776, British forces occupied New York City during the American Revolution. • In 1862, Confederate forces captured Harpers Ferry during the Civil War.

• In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived German Jews of their citizenship. • In 1954, as raucous fans looked on, Marilyn Monroe filmed the famous billowing-skirt scene for “The Seven Year Itch” over a Lexington Ave. subway grate in Manhattan (however, little, if any, of the footage ended up in the movie; the scene was later reshot on a Hollywood set). • In 1963, four black girls were killed when a bomb went off during Sunday services at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala.

(Three Ku Klux Klansmen were eventually convicted for their roles in the blast.) • Today’s Birthdays: Baseball Hall-of-Famer Gaylord Perry is 74. Actor Tommy Lee Jones is 66. Movie director Oliver Stone is 66. Football Hall-of-Famer Dan Marino is 51. Actor Danny Nucci is 44. Actor Tom Hardy is 35. Pop-rock musician Zach Filkins (OneRepublic) is 34. Actor Dave Annable is 33. Actress Amy Davidson is 33. Britain’s Prince Harry is 28. TV personality Heidi Montag is 26.

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.

Lebanon takes down Troy in three Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

LEBANON —The Troy girls volleyball team just wasn’t on its game Tuesday night. And that resulted in a threeset loss at Lebanon, 25-17, 25-20, 27-25. “We started sluggish,” Troy coach Michelle Owen said. “We just didn’t play together as a team. We had 22 hitting errors. We missed 12 serves. We just had bad errors across the board. “We lost to a team that’s not as aggressive as us. Offensively, they aren’t as good as us. They

just played good defense and did a good job of going down and getting balls.” Jenna Selby led the team with 12 kills and added four assists, Jillian Ross added six kills, Emily Moser had five kills and Jennifer Monnier had four kills. Playing in her first game of the season, Leah Selby had three kills, Cassie Rice had 21 digs, Mackenzie Rice recorded 27 assists, Abby Brinkman had seven digs and Lauren Freed had 12 digs.

Staff Reports Milton-Union had its chances Tuesday night. It just needed to put one more of them away. The Bulldogs (2-3) controlled the ball in the second half against Waynesville, but the Spartans maintained control of the scoreboard the whole way, holding off a late charge to win over MiltonUnion 2-1.

WEST MILTON “We had a lot of opportunities,” Milton-Union coach Andy Grudich said. “We controlled the whole second half. They scored kind of a soft goal in the first half to go up on us then got a good one three minutes into the second half to go up 2-0, but we really controlled the match from that point.” And with 11 minutes to go, Matison Jackson set up Katelyn Krieger for the Bulldogs’ lone score to make it 2-1 — but MiltonUnion couldn’t get the equalizer. “We played well,” Grudich said. “We moved the ball, we possessed the ball, we just couldn’t put it in. We’ve got to find ways to score. Milton-Union travels to Northridge Thursday.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mat Latos throws against the Philadelphia Phillies in the first inning of a baseball game Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Bruce, Reds roll Reds RF homers in third straight game in 2-1 win CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce homered for the third straight game on Tuesday night, hitting a two-run shot that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies with first baseman Joey Votto watching from the bench. Votto was activated off the disabled list before the game, but didn’t play. Cincinnati went 3216 without him, taking control of the NL Central. Bruce’s 31st homer in the sixth inning ended a four-game winning streak by Kyle Kendrick (8-10). Bruce has homered in four of his last five games. Mat Latos (12-4) gave up one run on a bases-loaded walk and

four hits in seven innings. Jimmy Rollins doubled off Latos in the fifth inning, making him the fourth Phillies player to reach 2,000 career hits. He joined Mike Schmidt (2,234), Richie Ashburn (2,217) and Ed Delahanty (2,207). Left-hander Aroldis Chapman gave up a walk and fanned two while getting his 35th save in 39 chances. Chapman has converted 27 straight save opportunities since June 24, a franchise record. The win evened the season series at three games apiece. Philadelphia has been one of Cincinnati’s toughest opponents, winning nine of their last 12

games. The Phillies have won their season series each of the past seven years. Cincinnati’s surge into playoff position has attracted bigger crowds to Great American Ball Park. The Reds topped 2 million in season attendance on Tuesday night, the fastest they’ve reached the mark since the ballpark opened in 2003. Latos, the Reds’ biggest offseason acquisition, was in the middle of all the early action. He got picked off third base by catcher Erik Kratz in the third inning, ending a rally. He then helped the Phillies pull ahead 10 in the fourth because of his control problems.

Trojans take 7th at Firebird Invite Browns’ Haden awaits word from league Joe Haden’s case remains mysterious and unresolved. The Browns cornerback, and one of Cleveland’s best players, is awaiting word from the NFL on a possible four-game suspension for failing a drug test. On Tuesday, Browns president Mike Holmgren revealed in a local radio interview that Haden has already had his appeal hearing with the league. See Page 16.

Staff Reports

MIAMI COUNTY

KETTERING —In its first 18hole meet of the season, a 319 was good enough to get Troy third place. Tuesday at the Firebird Invitational, it was good for seventh. Still, Troy finished behind behind the same two teams that it did at the Greater Western Ohio Conference preseason tournament, with both Connor Super and Kaleb Tittle cracking the

sub-80 barrier and leading the Trojans to that seventh-place finish with a 319. Oakwood won the tournament with a 293, while Springboro (third, 298) and Centerville (fifth, 304) were the only teams to top Troy in the preseason GWOC. “That top six is some of the better teams in the area,” Troy coach Ty Mercer said. “Three of them were under 300, then a 302

and a 304. That’s getting it done. “(A 319) is (a good 18-hole score). I’m very proud of the guys.” Super led the way with a 74 — the 11th-best score on the day — while Tittle shot a 76. “Connor was one shot away from the all-tournament team, the top 10,” Mercer said. “He played really solid today, and Kaleb was really solid, as well.” Dalton Cascaden shot an 84, Cam Weaver an 85 and Dylan Cascaden and Troy Moore each

shot 86. “For Dylan and Troy, this was their first time seeing NCC, so they had a good day, too,” Mercer said. Troy travels to Miami Valley Country Club Tuesday to take on Chaminade Julienne — which finished 11th with a 328 at the Firebird. “We played well today after our letdown against Butler last week,” Mercer said. “Hopefully

iPads help Buckeyes get head start on game prep COLUMBUS (AP) — Not so long ago, college football players with time on their hands would pick up an Xbox game controller. Now, instead of playing a simulated college or pro game, Ohio State’s players most likely reach for their iPad and a scouting report on their real upcoming opponent. “That’s something guys utilize a lot now,” Buckeyes starting right tackle Reid Fragel said. “Whether we’re just bored, have some down time, whatever. It’s something that we can just pull out and they send us the practice film and the game film within hours

after we’re done, so it’s up and we have easy access to it. It’s great.” Each Buckeye has an iPad that allows him to watch clips personally tailored for him and his position, both from the last Ohio State game or practice, as well as to preview an upcoming opponent. The coaches are able to draw up specific plays and emphasize techniques and talking points that are sent to their position groups. There are breakdowns by down and distance, personnel and other game data. The iPads were provided free as loaners this fall to all 1,100 or so Ohio

State student-athletes. The university’s intention was to enhance tutoring and mentoring services, but the tablets have become a valuable coaching and communication tool for the 14th-ranked Buckeyes. It’s a far cry from the days when coach Woody Hayes spent hour after hour reversing a clattering film projector while ghostly images of football players in black and white flickered on the wall of his cramped coaching office. “When I’m not in here (at the team’s practice facility), if I’m just sitting at home, I’ll look at some of the film on the iPad,”

freshman tight end Nick Vannett said. “It gives you more time to study the film and be more prepared for the opponent.” The iPads are ideal for coaches who want to pinpoint a message to a player or to dispel all the idle talk bombarding the Buckeyes about the team they’ll face next, in this case Saturday’s opponent, Central Florida. “To say that we don’t have a lot of respect for Central Florida would be nonsense,” coach Urban Meyer said. “The good thing is nowadays our players have already seen film so they have a touch of what’s going on with all

these iPads floating around here. They have plenty of film to watch.” For the past few years, the players could take home DVDs that had clips and films and cut-ups on them. Now many players also carry the ubiquitous iPhone. Yes, there’s an app for that. They can get game films, clips, emails, texts and pictures sent to that platform as well. Just 90 minutes after Ohio State’s 56-10 seasonopening victory over Miami (Ohio) on Saturday, the game video was sent to the players and they could watch it without commercial interruption and with

pertinent replays. A blown assignment on that third and 1? A coach can point out what went wrong and how to correct it. An encouraging word to a player who is down about his lack of playing time? Here comes a quick note showing a highlight and a compliment to reassure him he’s still a valued member of the team. By the time the players awaken on Sunday, video from UCF’s 56-14 win over Akron has been sent to them, with emphasis added on trick plays, what the Knights do on short yardage and their blocking schemes on special teams.

Sitting and waiting Snedeker to Browns’ Haden awaits word from league on suspension CLEVELAND (AP) — Joe Haden’s case remains mysterious and unresolved. The Browns cornerback, and one of Cleveland’s best players, is awaiting word from the NFL on a possible four-game suspension for failing a drug test. On Tuesday, Browns president Mike Holmgren revealed in a local radio interview that Haden has already had his appeal hearing with the league. “Now it’s up to someone else,” Holmgren told 92.3 The Fan. “And we don’t know.” Holmgren’s comments were the first confirming Haden’s suspension, which was first reported by espncleveland.com last month. Haden reportedly failed a test for taking Adderall, which is on the league’s banned substance list. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email that the league “has nothing to report at this point.” It’s possible the league is still weighing Haden’s appeal and a ruling may not be known for days, if not weeks. In the meantime, Haden is wondering if he will be able to play in Sunday’s season opener against Philadelphia. “I have no idea,” Haden said when asked on Monday. At this point, it appears Haden’s safe for this week, but it’s possible he may still have to sit out some games. The league does not announce suspensions until the appeal process is completed in order to protect the player’s privacy. The Browns can’t afford to be without Haden for long. They’re already missing three defensive starters defensive tackle Phil Taylor and linebacker Chris Gocong are injured and linebacker Scott Fujita is serving a three-game suspension for his role in the Saints’ bounty scandal and Haden is their best coverage defender.

make debut at Ryder Cup

NEW YORK (AP) — Brandt Snedeker had nothing more than big hopes and another strong finish when he left the TPC Boston, expecting to wait deep into the night for a phone call from Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III that would determine if he was on the U.S. team. “I had no clue one way or another,” Snedeker said Tuesday. “Got on the plane, got here to Indianapolis and got a voicemail from Davis just asking if I brought my putter from Boston and if I wanted to be on the team. I was just so excited. Couldn’t hardly sleep

last night. Just a huge, huge thing for my career.” Snedeker was among four players whom Love selected to fill out his 12man Ryder Cup team. The captain also took a pair of veterans, Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker, and Dustin Johnson, who showed the hottest hand over the past two weeks and who Love said was “perfect for Medinah.” The Ryder Cup is Sept. 28-30 at Medinah outside Chicago, which has hosted the PGA Championship twice since 1999 and is known as a power golf course. Tiger Woods won two majors there.

“I feel like this is the best I’ve played at corner in my life,” said Haden, who was recruited as a quarterback by Florida but switched to defense as a freshman. “I’ve become comfortable at the position, and I’m starting to understand concepts and a whole lot, so the game is starting to slow down.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Youth and inexperience have taken over the most important position in the NFL. Ten starting quarterbacks this season have been in the league one year or less, with five teams letting rookies run the show. It’s an unprecedented move in the NFL, where experience is a favored trait for those who handle the ball most. No more. “One of the most astounding statistics that I’ve seen in football in the last 25 years is the amount of young quarterbacks that are now playing early, but playing well,” said Jon Gruden, a former coach and current television analyst. Never have so many teams taken chances with so little experience at quarterback.

The starting 10 quarterbacks with one year or less in the NFL is the most since 1950, according to STATS LLC. That’s the year that the league absorbed three teams from the All-America Football Conference, including the Cleveland Browns with Otto Graham. This year’s group of upand-comers includes rookies Robert Griffin III in Washington, Andrew Luck in Indianapolis, Ryan Tannehill in Miami, Brandon Weeden in Cleveland and Russell Wilson in Seattle. They join second-year starters Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, Blaine Gabbert in Jacksonville, Jake Locker in Tennessee, Cam Newton in Carolina and Christian Ponder in Minnesota. The previous high mark was eight in 2000, a young

quarterback group that included Donovan McNabb, Jeff Garcia, Daunte Culpepper, Cade McNown, Shaun King, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf and Akili Smith. Before that, there were no more than six such QBs starting their teams’ season openers, a measure of how much things have changed. Instead of drafting a quarterback and letting him sit and watch for a season, teams are throwing them right in there. “They’re committing to them, they’re going right off the bat,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. There’s nothing more valuable, as far as a young player’s concerned, than playing experience. There’s that old saying that the difference between an average player and a good player is about 1,000 to 2,000 snaps, so how do you get it?”

By playing them. Right away. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll learned at Southern California that sometimes it’s better to play a talented younger player than sitting them. “The kids were so good and talented that letting them sit on the sideline and not letting them play was a mistake,” said Carroll, who is getting Wilson ready to start. “And we learned that if you engage guys early and gave them chances and gave them things that they were good at, they would progress faster.” A big part of the new equation is the way prostyle offenses have proliferated in college, allowing quarterbacks to learn the things they’ll be doing in the NFL. They’re more ready to move right in.

night as senior Anna Vagedes served 10 aces, followed closely by Chloe Smith with eight aces. Leading Milton-Union offensively were juniors Courtney Wion and Kitty Douglas with five kills apiece, and junior Christine Heisey had 15 assists. “This was really the first game I have seen us play like we’re capable of,” Milton-Union coach Bill Ginn said. “It’s really all about the passing with us. We have hitters, we just

have to get them the ball.” Next up for MiltonUnion (2-2, 1-2) is a trip to Northridge Thursday. Covington 3, Newton 0 PLEASANT HILL — In a matchup between two young volleyball teams, Covington outlasted rival Newton in three close games, 25-20, 25-16, 25-22. “A win is a win and we’ll take it any way we can get it,” Covington coach Ashley Miller said. “It’s a big win because it’s our first win on the road, and we got a

win without playing our best volleyball.” Covington was led statistically by Jenna Rindler’s 11 kills, 20 digs by Jessica Dammeyer and 29 assists from Shelby Waag. The Buccaneers (2-1, 20 Cross County Conference) host Mississinawa Valley Thursday. Tri-Village 3, Bethel 1 BRANDT — A strong aspect of the Bethel volleyball team’s gameplan has

been scoring on serves. That, however, wasn’t the case on Tuesday night. Tri-Village defended well on its way to a 3-1 victory over Bethel, winning 25-14, 25-15, 18-25, 25-14. “They just outplayed us and played better defense,” Bethel coach Rob Gatrell said. “They are a smart hitting team, and they just dug up everything we hit at them.” Bethel plays at Newton on Thursday. JV score: Bethel 25-20, 21-25, 25-20.

■ Tennis Smedley followed with a 39. Zach Glodrey and Mitch Gooslin each shot 50, Nick Simpson added a 52 and Sean Lorton shot 64. Milton-Union is now 5-1 on the season and travels to Carlisle today. Covington 161, Tri-County North 228 PIQUA — All six of Covington’s golfers posted better scores than TriCounty North’s best score Tuesday at Echo Hills as the Buccaneers dominated, 161228. Sam Slusher led the way with a 35, D.J. Seger shot 38, Joe Slusher shot 42, Ben Sherman shot 46, Ryan Craft shot 49 and Levi Winn shot 50. • Girls Tippecanoe 170, Shawnee 198 VANDALIA — The Tippecanoe Red Devils stayed perfect in the Central Buckeye Conference Tuesday, routing Springfield Shawnee 170-198 at Cassel Hills. Lindsey Murray shot a 36 to lead the way, Kristy Kagy added a 45, Kayla Vath a 45 and Erika Brownlee a 48 to round out the scoring. Sammie Rowland added a 50, while Tori Merrick and Allie Chitwood each shot 53. Tippecanoe, now 5-0 in CBC play, returns to action Tuesday against Greenon.

Azarenka stuns Stosur Defending champ eliminated on rainy day at Open NEW YORK (AP) — So, Victoria Azarenka, what went through your mind as your high-tension, highquality U.S. Open quarterfinal victory over defending champion Sam Stosur stretched into a third-set tiebreaker? “You don’t want to know what I kept telling myself,” Azarenka deadpanned Tuesday. “I would have to beep that, I think.” She went on to offer a cleaned-up version of what her thoughts had been “Don’t be a chicken” while cobbling together a 6-1, 46, 7-6 (5) rain-interrupted win that eliminated Stosur, put the top-seeded Azarenka in her first semifinal at Flushing Meadows and assured her of retaining the No. 1 ranking no matter what happens the rest of this week. “Definitely I don’t want to stop. I really want it bad,” Azarenka said about the prospect of adding a second Grand Slam trophy to the one she earned in January at the Australian Open. “I’m going to do absolutely everything I

have, you know, to give it all here.” Because of rain that halted play on and off throughout the day, Azarenka was the only woman who got to enjoy a singles victory at the U.S. Open on Tuesday. The other women’s quarterfinal on the schedule was suspended in progress because of rain, and fourtime major champion Maria Sharapova will be trailing 2007 Wimbledon runner-up Marion Bartoli 4-0 when they resume Wednesday. Sharapova got a bit of a reprieve from the weather during her previous match: She was down 2-0 in the third set against Nadia Petrova when a rain delay of 75 minutes came: After the break, Sharapova took five of the next six games. She’ll get at least 15 hours to contemplate her deficit against Bartoli, who lost all eight sets they had played before Tuesday. They were allowed to head to their hotels before 6 p.m., because the tournament wanted to free up Arthur Ashe Stadium for the night session and the main event: 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick’s bid to postpone retirement yet again by beating 2009 champ Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth round.

about an hour later than scheduled, and played for less than an hour before a rain delay came with Roddick ahead 1-0 in a first-set tiebreaker. Also starting behind schedule was defending champion Novak Djokovic against No. 18 Stanislas Wawrinka, and No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic against No. 19 Philipp Kohlschreiber. Both of those matches were stuck in the first set when showers returned. Getting through to the men’s quarterfinals was No. 4 David Ferrer, who defeated No. 13 Richard Gasquet 7-5, 7-6 (2), 6-4. That match, like most this week at Flushing Meadows, took second billing to one involving Roddick, who surprisingly announced last week that this tournament would be the last of his career. Since then, he picked up victories over players ranked 43rd and 59th, but the No. 7-seeded del Potro figured to provide more of a challenge. Del Potro is the only man other than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Djokovic to win any of the last 30 Grand Slam titles. The women’s match pitted Stosur, the champion here last year, against Azarenka, who won the Australian Open to start the 2012 Grand Slam season. Amazingly, as accomplished as Stosur is, she never had taken so much as a set off Azarenka in six previous tour meetings, including one match in qualifying. That changed in Tuesday’s second set, although forcing a third might not have given Stosur all that much self-

belief. And in the end, Azarenka improved to 11-0 in three-setters this season, while Stosur fell to 97. “I think I’m capable of beating her one day,” the seventh-seeded Stosur said. “Just would have liked it to have been today.” Serving at 5-all in the third, Azarenka faced a break point and responded the best way possible, delivering a 92 mph ace, her only one of the match. Asked about that at her news conference, Azarenka’s response was telling: “When did I hit an ace? Did I hit one today, actually?” Her serve is not exactly her strongest stroke, and Azarenka double-faulted five times, including while ahead 5-3 in the tiebreaker. Azarenka used a swear word at her news conference to describe the second fault there, which landed several feet long. That was part of a topsy-turvy tiebreaker, in which Azarenka went ahead 4-0, and Stosur took five of the next six points to make it 5-5. But that was when Azarenka buckled down. “For sure, she really pushed me to dig deep,” Azarenka said. On the next point, a Stosur groundstroke clipped the net and went over, and Azarenka had the presence of mind, and soft hands, to respond with a drop-shot winner. That set up match point, which fittingly was a hit-‘emhard, 10-stroke exchange. Eventually, Stosur sailed a backhand long as she dropped to a knee at the baseline.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 we can carry some of that momentum into next week.” Bethel 169, Tri-Village 169 BRANDT — Bethel defeated Tri-Village in Cross County Conference play, winning on the fifth tiebreaker score as both teams finished at 169-169 on Tuesday at Cliffside Golf Course.
