Despite a projected deficit, TippCity ended in the black in 2012.

Before the meeting Tuesdaynight, council discussed the 2012year-end financial report withFinance Director John Green whosaid that all of the city’s majorfunds — the general fund, and thewater, sewer, and electric funds —ended the year in better shapethan anticipated.

He said that general fundreceipts were $372,758 more thanbudgeted, while expenditures were$404,120 under budget. Originally,the 2012 budget projected a$123,747 deficit in the generalfund, but thanks to higher thanexpected income tax and estate taxreceipts as well as lower expendi-

tures, the general fund ended theyear with a surplus of approxi-mately $485,000.

The end of the year generalfund cash balance is about$4,533,335. According to Green,the general fund ending cash bal-ance has gone up “pretty signifi-cantly” over the last 10 years.

“This is one of the reasons why,when we bring the budget to you,we’re not as concerned about theprojected deficits,” Greenexplained.

Significant cost savings werealso due to the deferral of severalcapital improvement projects until2013.

The design of St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen, 24N. Mulberry St., was a hot item for discussionat the Troy Planning Commission meeting Jan.23. Several residents, including those whospoke out about the rezoning at past councilmeetings, stated their concerns before the com-

mission.Zoning Inspector Aloka Roy noted that all

comments at the meeting needed to be on topic.A presentation was given showing the archi-tecture, materials and color schemes used onnearby buildings, as a means of showing com-patibility within the neighborhood.

“We are presenting the portion of it that isthe board’s concern, which is the design ele-ments,” Roy said at the beginning of the meet-ing.

A groundbreaking ceremony is slated for 4-5 p.m. Feb. 4. Construction will be done byHarlow Builders of Troy.

BY NATALIE KNOTHStaff Writer

nknoth@civitasmedia.com

Beginning March 1, the city ofTroy plans to change the procedurefor trash pickup, as discussed at theJan. 22 council meeting.

Under the recommendation ofstreet foreman Jerry Mullins, thecity will offer special trash pickup atthe same time as weekly refuse col-lection, rather than only on the sec-ond Tuesday of each month.

The current setup requires allthe department’s employees andequipment to be dedicated to collect-

ing the special trash during thattime, said Director of Public Serviceand Safety Patrick Titterington atthe meeting.

The change would allow forresources to be used more efficiently,he added.

Special trash includes home andlawn furniture, appliances, waterheaters, carpeting and pads, mat-tresses and springs, lawn-careitems, outdoor play equipment, TVantennas and spouting. Items notaccepted are paper, cardboard,brush, construction materials, wood,car items, anything containingfreon. These items can be picked upby calling 335-1914.

Residents will not need to callahead if they need special trash

picked up. Should an item prove toolarge for the pickup vehicle, anotherseparate vehicle can be radioed.

“This will provide an improvedservice to the citizens while makinga minimal change to the daily workload,” Titterington noted in a memoto Mayor Michael Beamish andcouncil members.

Marty Baker said she waspleased with plans to incorporatelarger items in with regular weeklycollection.

“I think special trash pickup is agreat idea. It will be a plus for ourcitizens and city,” Baker said.

About 7,500 utilize services pro-vided by the solid waste depart-ment.

Herman said he collaborateswith many local school officialsto try to make a decision basedon what is best for the buses,student drivers and staff.

AP sources sayPentagon lifts banon women in combat

WASHINGTON (AP) —The Pentagon is lifting itsban on women serving incombat, opening hundredsof thousands of front-linepositions and potentiallyelite commando jobs aftergenerations of limits ontheir service, defense offi-cials said Wednesday.

The changes, set to beannounced Thursday byDefense Secretary LeonPanetta, will not happenovernight. The servicesmust now develop plansfor allowing women toseek the combat positions,a senior military officialsaid. Some jobs may openas soon as this year, whileassessments for others,such as special operationsforces, including NavySEALS and the Army’sDelta Force, may takelonger. The services willhave until January 2016 to

make a case to that somepositions should remainclosed to women.

The groundbreakingmove recommended by theJoint Chiefs of Staff over-turns a 1994 rule prohibit-ing women from beingassigned to smaller groundcombat units.

Clinton pushes backon Republican criticism

WASHINGTON — Sec-retary of State HillaryRodham Clinton deliveredfiery rejoinders Wednesdayto Republican critics of theObama administration’shandling of the deadlyattack on a U.S. mission inBenghazi, facing off withlawmakers who includedpotential 2016 presidentialrivals.

At times emotional andfrequently combative,Clinton rejected GOP sug-gestions in two congres-sional hearings that theadministration tried to

mislead the country aboutthe Sept. 11 attack thatkilled Chris Stevens, theU.S. ambassador to Libya,and three otherAmericans. She insistedthe State Department ismoving swiftly and aggres-sively to strengthen secu-rity at diplomatic postsworldwide.

funds all ended the yearwith higher than antici-pated receipts and lowerthan expected expendi-tures.During the meeting

council heard the firstreading of an ordinancethat will update and codi-fy the city’s tax regula-tions.The ordinance was

tabled in December anddelayed again at the laststudy session to allow citystaff to answer questionsraised by Councilman JoeGibson.Finance Director Green

reviewed Gibson’s memoand responded to his ques-tions.During the pre-meeting

study session, Councilagreed to place the ordi-nance on the agenda thatsame evening withoutemergency language. Thesecond reading of the ordi-nance will take place atthe next meeting.“I’m glad to put it on

the agenda tonight firstreading, second reading inFebruary and we’re in.That way everybody’s gota chance to look at it,”Gibson said.The ordinance includes

some changes to the regu-lations, but it also addsthe regulations to theCity’s Code of Ordinances.Currently, the code

directs residents seekingtax information to a differ-ent document.This can create issues

because there is no specif-

ic code section to citewhen court action is nec-essary.Some of the changes

include correcting some ofthe language to make theregulations easier to read,increasing the maximumfine for noncompliancefrom $500 to $1,000, andallowing the city to passthe extra costs of pursuingcompliance (collectionagency, court fees, and cer-tified letters) on to thedelinquent tax filer.The ordinance must be

approved before the citycan take any actionagainst delinquentaccounts.Other ordinances for

first reading includedamendments to the signand parking codes. Thefirst, an amendment to thesign code, would allowcommercial and industrialbuildings larger than150,000 square feet to usea maximum of 5 percent ofthe facade for attachedsignage.The current sign code

allows for attached signsno larger than 80 squarefeet regardless of the sizeof the building.The second ordinance

would establish off-streetparking requirements forthe Fire/EMS Station.This amendment to theparking regulations wouldrequire one space peremployee on the largestEMS shift and one spaceper employee based on theaverage emergencyresponse for volunteerfirefighters.

Tipp Cityprojected to have a patchwork of stone atthe bottom of the ground floor, with vinylsiding on the upper parts.

Several items included in the zoningpermit, such as parking spaces, proved tobe controversial but were irrelevant to thediscussion of design.

Forty-one off-street parking spaces areslated for the soup kitchen, with 10 on-site and the remaining in St. Patrick’schurch lot, 409 E. Main St., as approvedby Pastor James Duell.

Commission member Bill Lohrer saidhe was disappointed that the plans werenot in color, though swatches were avail-able.

“In good conscience, being a visual per-son, I have a difficult time imaging allthese elements coming together,” he said.

Karin Manovich, executive director ofTroy Main Street, suggested that morewindows be added to the left side eleva-tion, to allow the building to blend in bet-ter with the neighborhood’s historic char-

acter. The commission decided to alter theplans accordingly, adding two windows onthe left side elevation, equaling a total ofthree: one on each side of the door andanother on the gable.

Following a motion by Mayor MichaelBeamish, the plans were approved, withLohrer as the sole dissenting vote.

After the vote, local business ownerPatty Rose asked if a privacy fence wouldbe constructed. Greg Taylor, representingthe soup kitchen board, said they had notyet decided if a privacy fence would be apart of the plans, though it has been con-sidered. A covered porch area is alreadyincluded.

The building’s main floor will housethe kitchen and dining areas, while theupstairs will be for office space and meet-ing rooms.

In other planning commission news, anew wall sign was approved for TrojanNutrition, 111 E. Main St. The 8’ by 3’sign will have a white background withblack lettering outlined in green, in addi-tion to a green leaf image.

sobbing uncontrollably at times,both siblings recounted the nightof the tragedy at 1012 CaldwellSt.

Both children said Gauldin gotupset that Malisa had a blanket,took it away from the child andthen used an orange lighter toburn the child’s hands and feet. Ashort time later Gauldin, bothchildren testified, picked Malisaup by her arms, slammed andthen threw the girl into a wallseveral times.

First Assistant ProsecutingAttorney Tony Kendell asked eachchild why they told the police ini-tially their sister fell down thestairs.

“He (Travis) said, ‘If you don’tsay that I will kill you,’” testifiedthe victim’s 8-year-old sister,which echoed testimony alsogiven by her now 7-year-oldbrother.

“Did you believe him,” Kendellasked.

“Yeah,” the 8-year-old girlanswered.

“He threw her three timesagainst the wall,” testified the sis-ter. “He grabbed her by her armsand threw her.”

Malisa was later airlifted toChildren’s Medical Hospital inDayton after she suffered theinjuries and died two days later onApril 14. The coroner ruled the

death a homicide caused by multi-ple blunt force trauma to thehead, chest and neck. An autopsyrevealed the child suffered a her-niated brain stem, according to Dr.Robert Shott, a forensic patholo-gist and coroner with the MiamiValley Regional Crime Lab.

“No, these (injuries) were notconsistent with a fall down thestairs,” he testified.

Malisa’s mother, MandyKolker, tried to remain composedduring testimony as she described

the last day she spent with herdaughter before leaving for work.

“She was perfectly fine,” saidKolker, who had earlier told policeshe had disciplined her childrenwith a belt but denied that accu-sation in her testimonyWednesday. “There was nothingwrong with her.”

Gauldin called 9-1-1 on thenight of the injuries and statedthe child fell down a flight ofsteps. When the call was played incourt Gauldin put his head down

and clasped his hands together.“She fell down the stairs and I

need help,” Gauldin said on theaudio tape, vomiting. “Her heart… it’s not beating.”

Also testifying was Dr. LoriVavul-Roediger, who works atChildren’s Hospital as the directorof child advocacy, and she said theinjuries the child suffered wereboth “neurologically devastating”and “extensive.” She further testi-fied that medical interventioncould not be performed for thoseinjuries because of that devasta-tion.

“This little girl died, unfortu-nately, of physical abuse,” she tes-tified. “There was nothing thatcould be done for this child, sadly.”

The state rested its case withtheir last witness, Piqua policeDetective Jeremy Weber, who saidGauldin changed his story twiceunder questioning and refused tosay the victim’s name, almost as if“he was trying to disassociatehimself with her.”

Weber testified Gauldin statedhe “rough-handled” the child, butdid not admit to the events thatauthorities say caused Malisa’sdeath. Public Defender Steve Kingdid not call any witnesses.

Closing arguments in the casewill be heard today at 9 a.m. andafterward Judge Christopher Geeis expected to announce the man-ner in which he will render a ver-dict in the case.

WEST MILTON

Los Angeles Times on the40th anniversary of Roe vs.

Wade:Forty years ago Jan. 22, the

Supreme Court ruled thatwomen had a constitutionalright to an abortion.

This one sweeping decisiontransformed abortion fromwhat was often a secret, illicitand dangerous act, sometimescrudely self-inflicted, into agenerally legal and safe proce-dure. But it also turned abor-tion, always an emotionalissue, into one of society’s mostdivisive.

Unlike many landmarkSupreme Court cases that havebecome accepted parts of ourculture — such as Brown vs.Board of Education, whichdeclared school segregation

unconstitutional, or Loving vs.Virginia, which overturnedstate bans on interracial mar-riage — Roe did not lead to aclear national consensus onabortion.

A recent Pew ResearchCenter survey found thatalthough most Americans sup-port the court’s decision, 29percent said they would like tosee Roe overturned. Nearlyhalf of Americans say theybelieve abortion is morallywrong.

Those positions havechanged little in recentdecades.

Sadly, the Roe decisionremains under attack in manyquarters from politicians, con-servative religious groups andothers. Fueled by their belief

that abortion is murder, theyare intent on taking away orsubstantially curtailing theright to choose, even thoughthe Supreme Court has correct-ly concluded that abortion is aprivate matter.

We look forward to the daywhen a woman’s constitutionalright to make such a funda-mental decision about her ownbody as whether or not to havea child is as clearly settled andcalmly accepted as the right ofblack and white children toattend school together or theright of people of all races tomarry one another.

Until then, courts and legis-latures must be vigilant inassuring that a woman’s rightto a safe and legal abortion isneither thwarted nor denied.

DOONESBURY

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a good thing President Barack Obamaconsiders himself a congenital optimist.

There are no easy “gets” as he scrolls through his second-term to-do list and looks ahead to the uncertainties of the next four years.Many of the items already on his agenda aren’t there of his ownchoosing.

First up is certain battle with Congress in the next few monthsover deadlines on automatic budget cuts, expiring government spend-ing authority and raising the debt limit. House Republicans last weekagreed to bump up the debt limit slightly, but that just puts off thatpart of the fight for a few months.

Obama’s goal is to get through that trifecta and still have thepolitical capital left for the things he’d rather focus on: reducing gunviolence, overhauling immigration policy, revamping tax laws,addressing climate change and more.

With Republicans in Congress approaching the new year with verydifferent goals, “it’s a formula for deadlock and difficulty for the presi-dent,” says James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressionaland Presidential Studies at American University. “I don’t think thispresident has even a month of political capital.”

The president also will have to devote significant energy simply tosafeguarding the achievements of his first term, by keeping the eco-nomic recovery alive, making sure his health care law is properly putin place in the face of persisting objections from businesses and indi-viduals, and ensuring new financial regulations have teeth.

International worries, including the civil war in Syria, Iran’snuclear intentions and instability in Mali could complicate the presi-dent’s Term Two game plan as well.

“Things are stacked up,” Obama senior adviser David Plouffeacknowledged Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

Plouffe argued that the president’s big agenda gives him “the sortof focus and energy you need. And I think his intention is to runthrough the tape all the way.”

Obama can take heart from any number of things he’s got goingfor him. He has a can-do attitude, growing public support for actionon some of his chosen issues and better approval ratings.

Democrats gained seats in both houses of Congress in theNovember election and Republican poll numbers are weak. With thewar in Iraq over and U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan wind-ing down, he has more time to focus on domestic priorities. He alsodoesn’t have to worry as much about ruffling feathers because hedoesn’t have to run for re-election again.

“People shouldn’t underestimate how much we can get done,” thepresident said in a pre-election interview for Rolling Stone.

Obama also understands the underwhelming track record of sec-ond-term presidents and the dangers of over-reaching. “We are verycautious about that,” he said.

The president hopes to strike a hopeful theme in his second inau-gural address on Monday. But he knows that partisanship only wors-ened during his first term.

“The optimism of his 2008 campaign about bridging divides hasnot been realized at the end of the first term, and there’s very littleprospect that it’s going to be coming into a second term, so the lan-guage has to be careful,” says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of theUniversity of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center.

Immigration offers Obama perhaps his best chance at a significantsecond-term achievement. The 2012 elections, in which Obama drewlopsided support from Hispanics, gave Republicans a wake-up call ontheir need to pay more attention to Latinos, so the GOP is moreinclined to work with the president there than on other issues.

At what point did pedaling abicycle really fast make you adeity? When did the ability to hita small, round ball with a stick ofwood get you a trip to the front ofthe line at the pearly gates? Andhow does the ability to tacklesomeone make you a candidate tobe canonized?

More to the point, when are wegoing to stop being shocked whenthe athletes we put on such highpedestals suffer their seeminglyinevitable falls from grace?

Within a week, the world ofsports nearly imploded as mensuch as Barry Bonds, RogerClemens and Sammy Sosa weredenied spots in Major LeagueBaseball’s Hall of Fame, cyclistLance Armstrong admitted todoing what Bonds, Clemens andSosa continue to deny and collegelinebacker Manti Te’o admitted tobeing duped into having a girl-friend that didn’t exist, thenadmitted to lying about his knowl-edge of the situation.

Does any of this really surpriseus anymore? Is there really such athing as a “shocking” or “horrify-ing” sports story these days? Oneyear removed from the JerrySandusky monstrosity, can wereally be that appalled thatArmstrong cheated (seven times)

in the Tour de France and tried tosystematically destroy the lives ofthose who tried to call him out onit? Is Mike Tyson trying to make amidnight snack out of EvanderHolyfield’s ear (twice) in the mid-dle of a boxing ring really all thatmore strange or bizarre than Te’ohaving a fake cyber-girlfriend?

Can we really sit back and saywe are appalled or disgusted bythe actions of athletes anymore?

Here’s something we shouldkeep in mind: Athletes are humanbeings. They have faults — in thecase of someone like JerrySandusky, vile and unthinkablefaults — just like the rest of us. Inmost cases, they were blessed witha certain set of skills — whether itbe the ability to run fast, jumphigh or hit hard — than many ofus were not. They hit the genetic

jackpot, we did not. That really isthe only difference.

So why do we still keep treat-ing them as if they are somehowbetter than us? Perhaps we would-n’t all get so upset when our ath-letes fall if we did not build themup so high in the first place.

Years ago, professional basket-ball player Charles Barkley cameunder fire for making a commer-cial in which he stated that notonly did he not consider himself arole model, but parents shouldn’ttry to use them as a role model fortheir children.

Now more than ever — assports seemingly gets darker bythe day and who truly is a “goodguy” and who truly is a “bad guy”becomes more and more clouded— I tend to agree with SirCharles. It’s getting harder andharder to tell the differencebetween the guys (and girls) wear-ing the white cowboy hats andthose wearing the black cowboyhats.

Sure, it was easy with a guylike Bonds, who spent the betterpart of his career being a jerk andtreating everyone he dealt with asif they were some sort of sub-human gutter slime. It was a littleharder, however, with a guy likeArmstrong, who inspired an entire

nation with his heroic battle, andsubsequent recovery from, cancer.He raised millions upon millionsof dollars for cancer treatment andresearch.

Doesn’t change the fact hecheated, however.

With that in mind, perhaps thesafest bet of all — since we trulycan’t tell the difference anymore— is not to build up athletes somuch in the first place. Don’t getme wrong, what they accomplishcan and should be appreciated —on the playing field. There’s noth-ing wrong with wanting to dunklike Michael Jordan or hit likePete Rose — but we should proba-bly all avoid gambling like them.

In other words, we can love ourathletes — but we shouldn’t relyon them to raise our children. Weneed to let our kids admire theirathletic prowess — but teach themhow we want them to act. It’s afine line, for certain, which makesit all the more important for par-ents to help their children distin-guish.

Athletes can accomplish manywonderful and inspiring things —but they’re still human.

Dear Readers: Some facecleansers may or may notremove all of your makeupentirely. So, give your skin agood cleaning, especially if youwear a lot of makeup or havebeen exercising. Pay specialattention to gently removing themakeup around your eyes. I usea nonoily, drugstore eye-makeupremover.Wet your face with warm

water, and work a small amountof cleanser onto your face. Startat your forehead, then down tothe nose, cheeks, chin and neck.Rinse well and pat dry with aclean towel, but don’t rub!Most people do not need to

wash their face twice a day, but

for oily skin, it is recommendedto wash your face both morningand night. For combinationskin, washing twice a day is upto you. However, overwashingand scrubbing can lead to dry-ness and irritation, even if youhave oily skin.For a deeper cleaning, try

exfoliating one to two times

weekly using my Heloise sugar-and-oil (baby or olive) scrub.Mix a small amount of both inyour palms, and gently scrubyour face. Be careful not to gettoo close to the eyes. Rinse andpat dry. I have been testingusing baby shampoo and awashcloth — it’s super!—Heloise

GREASY STOVETOPDear Heloise: My wife and I

have an ongoing disagreementabout how clean the stovetopshould be. Our stove is 10 yearsold, and the stovetop is “well-seasoned” with baked-on greasestains. These grease stains drivemy wife crazy. However, I lookat things a little differently.

The grease stains on ourstove remind me of the greasestains on my mother’s stovewhen I was growing up. Thesestains remind me of all the fam-ily meals that were cooked andshared.When I look at our stove, I

don’t see grease stains, I seelove. Thanks for listening.—Rod in Canal Fulton, OhioWell, Rod, I just worry that

all the “love” may be a fire haz-ard! Your wife is right on thisone, and I agree with her.Take a photo and tape it up

to the refrigerator if you want tohave the visual “memory.” Thenclean that stove and keep itclean!— Heloise

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: After 44 years ofmarriage, I can no longer trustmy husband. "Steve" reconnectedwith a high school flame, and theend result was late-night emails,texts and calls. He even boughtthrowaway phones so they couldstay in touch and meet out oftown.We went for counseling, and

Steve took a stack of note cardsto the first session with ultima-tums for me. He accused me ofbeing a lesbian and havingaffairs with women at work andin our neighborhood. He thenshared the intimate details ofour sessions with his old flameand invited her to come along!He wrote long multiple-page let-ters and slipped them to mytherapist when he thought I was-n't watching. Recently, Stevespent $12,000 of our money on afacelift, and he has set up atleast 10 email accounts to hidethings from me.He finally promised to cut off

communication with this womanunless it was about the upcom-ing high school reunion. Webegan to put things back togeth-er, and then he again initiatedintimate contact with her andwent to our high school reunionwithout me.Is there any hope of trusting

this man again? Or at age 64, amI looking at moving on? — TheFaithful Wife

Dear Faithful: Steve seems tobe going through a major midlifecrisis. The old flame makes himfeel as if he's a teenager again.And the facelift was intended tomake him look like one. Will heever return to Earth? There areno guarantees. Please don't planyour life around what Steve mayor may not do in the future. Getsome counseling on your own,see a lawyer about protectingyourself, and figure out whetheryou are better off with or with-out him right now.

Dear Annie: I live in a smallcommunity where many peoplevolunteer for countless jobs, giv-ing of their time and talents. Ihave a friend who is becomingincreasingly critical of everyone'sefforts, and it is depressing to bein her company.How do I tell her that we are

tired of her constant complainingwhile still remaining her friend?I'm taking out my hearing aidsat our next encounter.—Florida

Dear Florida: Some people,as they age, turn into chroniccomplainers. Sometimes thereare medical reasons, but often,it's simply how they are. Youcould nicely mention to yourfriend that she seems terriblyunhappy because nothing pleas-es her these days, and then sug-gest she see her doctor for a thor-ough checkup. We hope it helps.

Dear Annie: "WorriedGrandma" was concerned abouther granddaughter, "Kelly," whohad difficulty modulating hervoice and felt that men wereturned off by her loud personali-ty.Please tell her to look into

whether Kelly has Asperger syn-drome, a form of high-function-ing autism. Asperger's often goesundiagnosed until later in life,but its primary symptom isextreme social awkwardness andan inability to appropriately"read" the social cues of others.With special training, Kelly

can learn how to modify herbehavior and pick up on thesesocial cues. But it's unlikely shecan do it on her own. A correctdiagnosis can go a long waytoward repairing her self-esteem.I hope her parents will get Kellythe help she needs to succeed inthis world.— VermontProfessor

Dear Vermont: Thanks foryour input. It is possible thatKelly has a mild form ofAsperger's, although she shouldsee a medical professional to findout whether this is the case. If itis, she can contact aspergersyn-drome.org for more information.

HOROSCOPEBY FRANCES DRAKE

We attended bothfunerals of my cousinsover the weekend. Sonice to see cousins,uncles, aunts, andfriends that we don’toften see, but sad for thereason we had to gather.Chris’s funeral was onSaturday at 9 a.m.Danny’s funeral was at 9

a.m. on Sunday.Both funerals were

largely attended. Oursympathy goes to bothfamilies. Such a tragedyand we question “why?”But let us trust that Godmakes no mistakes andthat it is all for a reason.Someday we will allunderstand. It does seem

to draw everyone closerat times like these think-ing what and if it wouldhave been us. God hasnot promised us anotherday, so let us all be pre-pared.Brother Amos was not

able to attend Chris’sfuneral due to still beingvery sore. He felt better

Sunday morning andattended Danny’s funer-al. All of the co-workerswill have a hard timedealing with their emo-tions through their acci-dent.We do not understand

why God spares one lifeand takes another, butonly He knows when ourtime on Earth isthrough. We left earlySaturday morning andarrived homed Sunday at3 p.m., thankful to havemade it home safely.On Feb. 9, Joe’s family

plans to get together fora belated Christmas atJoe’s sister Salome’shouse. We will have acarry-in brunch at 10:30a.m. Hopefully the roadswill be in good shape totravel the two-hourdrive. Only patches ofsnow are remaining hereand there so sleddinghas been put off until thenext snow comes.Some are ice fishing

on the lakes already. Myhusband Joe is gettingeager to get out there,but is still recoveringfrom a bad ear infection.The doctor thinks he hasasthma now so he needsto get that checked out.

He just seems to have ahard time all winter get-ting over a cough.Yesterday I took son

Joseph, 10, to the eyedoctor. He lost his glass-es at school so I neededto order another pair forhim. It was time for himto have another eyeexam anyway, but I amstill hoping he can findthe ones that he lost sohe has a spare pair.After that I had to

take Loretta for her ther-apy appointment. Susanhad to babysit all day soshe was not home to helpme with the laundry. Iguess I am spoiled whenI do not have help to dothe laundry when she isworking.This winter seems to

be going fast and I keep

thinking that we need tobutcher beef and pork.Winters used to seem tolast forever when thechildren were allyounger. Now they seemto fly by just as fast asthe other seasons.Our neighbor Irene

gave us four 1,000-piecepuzzles and it seems wedon’t have time to putthose together. Nextweek our second-oldestchild has her 17th birth-day.Susan usually does

the morning chores,which she doesn’t mind.She loves to spend allthe time she can withthe horses and ponies.She had an extra chorethis morning, though.Kevin usually gathersthe eggs at night andmust have forgotten toclose the chicken housedoors.So Susan with the

help of our border colliedog gathered the 40chickens and mean roos-ter into the chicken coop.We are still getting 40-46eggs a day. All we canfigure out is some ofhens are laying morethan 1 egg a day.Needless to say, we stillhave plenty of eggs. Itold Joe we better getour “eggs for sale” signback out. Every weekmaking noodles seems toget pushed back.God’s blessings to all,

enjoy this easy recipe!

Seau’sfamilysuesNFLBy The Associated Press

Add Junior Seau’sfamily to the thousandsof people who are suingthe NFL over the long-term damage caused byconcussions.Seau’s ex-wife and four

children sued the leagueWednesday, saying theformer linebacker’s sui-cide was the result ofbrain disease caused byviolent hits he sustainedwhile playing football.The wrongful death

lawsuit, filed inCalifornia Superior Courtin San Diego, blames theNFL for its “acts or omis-sions” that hid the dan-gers of repetitive blows tothe head. It says Seaudeveloped chronic trau-matic encephalopathy(CTE) from those hits,and accuses the NFL ofdeliberately ignoring andconcealing evidence ofthe risks associated withtraumatic brain injuries.Seau died at age 43 of

a self-inflicted gunshot inMay. He was diagnosedwith CTE, based onposthumous tests, earlierthis month.An Associated Press

review in Novemberfound that more than3,800 players have suedthe NFL over headinjuries in at least 175cases as the concussionissue has gained atten-tion in recent years. Thetotal number of plaintiffsis 6,000 when spouses,relatives and other repre-sentatives are included.Scores of the concus-

sion lawsuits have beenbrought together beforeU.S. District Judge AnitaB. Brody in Philadelphia.“Our attorneys will

review it and respond tothe claims appropriatelythrough the court,” theNFL said in a statementWednesday.Helmet manufacturer

Riddell Inc., also is adefendant, with the Seaufamily saying Riddell was“negligent in theirdesign, testing, assembly,manufacture, marketing,and engineering of thehelmets” used by NFLplayers. The suit says thehelmets were unreason-ably dangerous andunsafe.Riddell issued a state-

ment saying it is, “confi-dent in the integrity ofour products and ourability to successfullydefend our productsagainst challenges.”Seau was one of the

best linebackers duringhis 20 seasons in theNFL, retiring in 2009.“We were saddened to

learn that Junior, a lov-ing father and teammate,suffered from CTE,” thefamily said in a state-ment released to the AP.“While Junior alwaysexpected to have achesand pains from his play-ing days, none of us everfathomed that he wouldsuffer a debilitating braindisease that would causehim to leave us too soon.“We know this lawsuit

will not bring backJunior. But it will send amessage that the NFLneeds to care for its for-mer players, acknowledgeits decades of deceptionon the issue of headinjuries and player safety,and make the game saferfor future generations.”Plaintiffs are listed as

Gina Seau, Junior’s ex-wife; Junior’s childrenTyler, Sydney, Jake andHunter, and BetteHoffman, trustee ofSeau’s estate.

Stephens said she had

TC-Eastvictory over No. 5 MiamiEast despite not being ableto fill five weight classesWednesday night atVersailles.“We’ve been working

hard, and the kids all havethe right mindset,” TroyChristian coach Ty Morgansaid. “I was happy witheveryone’s performancetonight.“Giving up five weight

classes, we want to do aswell as we can (in the dualtournament). We can’tworry about forfeits. We’vejust got to wrestle to ourpotential and focus on eachindividual guy.”Miami East was minus

three wrestlers, as well —two of which would havepicked up forfeits. As itstood, the Vikings wonthree forfeits to TroyChristian’s two, leavingthe match up to the actualaction on the mat.“We had one head-to-

head win. It was very dis-appointing,” Miami Eastcoach Jason Sroufe said.“Even if you have themoutnumbered, it doesn’tmatter if you don’t per-form. It all comes down towho’s working hardest andputting forth the effortwhen it matters most, andthat wasn’t us tonight.“We had three guys out

sick tonight, and there’snothing you can do aboutthat. Head to head, youstill have to win more thanthey do.”The marquee match

was at 120 between a pairof state-caliber athletes,Miami East senior AllenSeagraves and TroyChristian sophomoreGarrett Hancock.After a scoreless first

two periods, Hancock —who placed fifth at state asa freshman — started onbottom and broke the tiewith an escape with aminute to go. ButSeagraves — a three-timestate qualifier — answeredwith a takedown beforefalling out of bounds toclaim a 2-1 lead with 38.1seconds left.“(I was just thinking) he

needs to get an escaperight away,” Morgan said.“The worst thing that canhappen at that point is ifyou go for a reversal, thekid hangs onto your legand you lose the match.You have to get your onepoint.”After a restart with 10.1

seconds left, Hancockabandoned his attempts ata reversal and was able towork his way out for anescape at the buzzer tosend the match to over-time.And after a scoreless

overtime period, the matchcame down to two 30-sec-ond tiebreakers. Hancockgot an escape in the firstone to go up 3-2 and main-

tained control in the sec-ond one, hanging on for thewin.“That’s the second time

Allen has faced him, andwe know we have to gothrough him to get to stateagain,” Sroufe said. “Welost that one 1-0 last year.Two one-point matches.Wejust need to be on the rightend of one of those.”The Eagles turned

around a loss from earlierthis season at 170. LeviSimms rallied from anearly 2-0 deficit in a battleof reversals to tie thematch at 6-6, and he scoreda takedown halfwaythrough the first overtimeto win 8-6 over AaronHubbard.

“Those two fought at182 in the first round ofthe Troy Christian Inviteearlier this year, and Levilost 5-1,” Morgan said. “Iwas proud of his perform-ance today, to be able toimprove that much.”That win also gave the

Eagles a 26-24 lead at thetime, and after a forfeitwrapped up the overallwin, Tristan Devlin (195)put an exclamation pointon it with a third-periodpin.Defending state cham-

pion Jordan Marshall (152)also had a pin in only 21seconds, Jarred Ganger(113) won a 19-3 tech. falland Chase Mayabb (132)won a 9-3 decision.Mack Rose (145) picked

up the lone win for theVikings, scoring a pin with41.1 seconds left in thethird period.Troy Christian will

return for the secondround Jan. 30 to face thewinner between top-seed-ed Versailles and No. 8Southeastern.“Versailles has a full

lineup. Thirty points, that’shard to come back from,”Morgan said. “We will justhave to focus on the match-es we do have.”After all, it’s worked for

Reds begin countdown to 2015 All-Star GameCINCINNATI (AP) —

The Reds started a count-down to a 2015 All-Stargame on Wednesday bybreaking out the buntingand bursting into a stand-ing ovation.A few of them also

started to dream aboutplaying in it.Commissioner Bud

Selig awarded the mid-summer game toCincinnati on Wednesday,rewarding years of per-

sistence by Reds ownerBob Castellini. The cityhasn’t hosted an All-Stargame since 1988, whenthe Reds played atRiverfront Stadium.“I can’t imagine what’s

going to happen, but Ithink it’s going to be beau-tiful,” said second base-man Brandon Phillips, atwo-time All-Star undercontract through 2017.The Reds lobbied hard

for years to get the game.

It’ll be the fifth timethat the game is played inCincinnati, which was thestage for one of the mostmemorable All-Starmoments. Pete Rosebowled over Indianscatcher Ray Fosse to winthe 1970 game atRiverfront Stadium.The 1988 game was

something of a disappoint-ment. Rain wiped out thehome run derby events,and the American League

won the game 2-1 a daylater with the winning runscoring on a sacrifice fly.The Reds moved into

Great American Ball Parkin 2003. Castellini becamecontrolling partner in theownership group after the2005 season and wasdetermined to bring thegame back to his homecity.It’ll be played in New

York this year, followed byMinneapolis in 2014.

“I’ll say one thing forBob: Man, he is persist-ent,” Selig said. “I coulduse a couple other termsto describe him. Onestarts, ‘A pain in …’ Buttenacity is a great virtue.”Baseball’s oldest pro-

fessional franchise hasenjoyed a renaissance inthe last few years. UnderCastellini’s leadership,the Reds reached the play-offs twice in the last threeseasons, ending a 15-year

postseason drought.The franchise hosted

the Civil Rights Game in2009 and 2010, impress-ing Major LeagueBaseball with its handlingof one of its premierevents. Former Redsshortstop Barry Larkinwas inducted into the Hallof Fame in Cooperstown,N.Y., last summer, puttingthe spotlight back on thefranchise.Now, the All-Star game.
