TROY—Two older siblings ofa Piqua 4-year-old who died as aresult of injuries she sufferedApril 12, 2012, at a home onCaldwell Street in Piqua gavetearful testimony Wednesday ofhow their mother’s live-inboyfriend, Travis Gauldin,burned their sister with a lighterbefore slamming and throwingher against a wall.Both children stated Gauldin

told each of them to lie to the po-lice when they arrived at thehome, which they initially did,and told authorities their sister,Malisa Louann DeLaSancha, 4,fell down a staircase.Gauldin, 22, of Troy, who has

been charged with the murder ofMalisa, appeared to react withlittle emotion during that testi-mony during the first day of hisbench trial in common pleascourt. He has pleaded not guiltyto the murder charge.Clutching a small teddy bear

with one hand, a tissue in theother and sobbing uncontrol-lably at times, both siblings re-counted the night of the tragedyat 1012 Caldwell St.Both children said Gauldin

got upset that Malisa had ablanket, took it away from the

child and then used an orange-colored lighter to burn the child’shands and feet. A short timelater Gauldin, both children tes-tified, picked Malisa up by herarms, slammed and then threwthe girl into a wall several times.First Assistant Prosecuting

Attorney Tony Kendell askedeach child why they told the po-lice initially their sister felldown the stairs.“He (Travis) said, ‘If you don’t

say 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,”

Kendell asked.“Yeah,” the 8-year-old girl an-

swered.“He threw her three times

against the wall,” testified thesister. “He grabbed her by herarms and threw her.”Malisa was later airlifted to

Children’s Medical Hospital inDayton after she suffered the in-juries and died two days later onApril 14. The coroner ruled thedeath a homicide caused by mul-tiple blunt force trauma to thehead, chest and neck. An au-topsy revealed the child suffereda herniated brain stem, accord-ing to Dr. Robert Shott, a foren-sic pathologist and coroner withthe Miami Valley Regional

Crime Lab.“No, these (injuries) were not

consistent with a fall down thestairs,” he testified.Malisa’s mother, Mandy

Kolker, tried to remain com-posed during testimony as shedescribed the last day she spentwith her daughter before leav-ing for work.“She was perfectly fine,” said

Kolker, who had previously told

PIQUA —It was an-nounced Tuesday that aclass action lawsuit overthe chemical atrazinefound in Piqua’s raw waterwas resolved with the cityreceiving $591,958.67 inreimbursement for costsassociated with the chemi-cal’s removal from thecommunity water system.“The city is pleased with

the cooperative spirit ofthe settlement and isthrilled with timing ofpayment as it will greatlyassist in making the im-provements required to

stay in compliance withthe 2013 EPA regulations,”said Piqua Law DirectorStacyWall, when asked forcomment regarding thecase against the largestmanufacturer of atrazine,Syngenta, based inSwitzerland.While not an original

party to the lawsuitbrought by the St. Louislaw firm of Korein Tilleryand the Dallas firm of Bar-ron and Budd, in 2004, thecity of Piqua is one of1,085 water systems tobenefit.According to a press re-

lease from the city, settle-ment amounts were basedon data submitted show-ing the presence ofatrazine but does not con-tain any admissions fromSyngenta as to potentialnegative effects related to

the chemical. The possiblenegative effects of atrazinehave been heavily dis-cussed by area watershedgroups and water advo-cacy associations as one ofjust a number of chemicalsto have found their wayinto local bodies of rawwater, which includesDDT, Benzine, pesticidesand herbicides.Atrazine is heavily used

in the Midwest as an agri-cultural herbicide againstbroad-leaf plants, typicallyin cornfields. Levels of thechemical in surface rawwater tend to be higherthan in ground water,which poses a risk for com-munities such as Piquathat depend primarily onsurface water collection forpublic consumption andusage.

night of the injuries andstated the child fell down aflight of steps.When the callwas played in court Gauldinput his head down andclasped his hands together.“She fell down the stairs

and I need help,” Gauldinsaid on theaudio tape,vomit-ing. “Her heart … it’s notbeating.”Also testifying was Dr.

Lori Vavul-Roediger, whoworks at Children’s Hospitalas the director of child advo-cacy, and she said the injuriesthe child suffered were both“neurologically devastating”and “extensive.” She furthertestified that medical inter-vention could not be per-formed for those injuriesbecause of that devastation.“This little girl died,unfor-

tunately, of physical abuse,”she testified. “There wasnothing that could be donefor this child, sadly.”The state rested its case

with the last witness, Piquapolice Detective JeremyWeber, who said Gauldinchanged his story twiceunder questioning and re-fused to say the victim’sname, almost as if “he wastrying to disassociate himselfwith her.”Weber testified Gauldin

stated he “rough-handled”the child,but didnot admit tothe events that authoritiessay causedMalisa’s death.Public Defender Steve

King did not call any wit-nesses.Closing arguments in the

case will be heard at 9 a.m.today and afterward JudgeChristopher Gee is expectedto announce the manner inwhichhewill render averdictin the case.

be held next week to begincampaign efforts. Those onthe Facilities Planning Com-mittee along with thoseserving during the last levycampaign are among thosewho will meet next week. Acommunity meeting regard-ing the levy and buildingproject will be held at 6:30p.m. Feb. 21 at the high

And, the board approvedCHS students to participatein the 2013 indoor track andfield season. Indoor trackand field is not part of theOHSAA league as otherhigh school sports are. Thoseleading the sport deemed itnecessary to get schoolboard approval from dis-tricts because they did notalways know that thosemaking it to the final tour-nament were indeed highschool students. Larson saidthat this will have to be ap-proved annually and thatthere are “a handful” of Cov-ington students who he be-lieves will participate.

In 2011, Jeanne Brigner reached out to my officeafter her mortgage servicer misapplied hermonthly mortgage payment – an action which led

her into foreclosure. Unlike many Ohioans, Jeannewas able to keep her home, but only after paying thou-sands of dollars in unnecessary fees. Unfortunately,the state of mortgage servicing is so bad that Jeanneis considered one of the lucky ones.Last week, in Columbus, Youngstown, and Toledo, I

heard from Jeanne and other homeowners who wereunjustly foreclosed on — upending families and eco-nomically depressing local communities. We all knowthe devastation that foreclosures inflict on our com-munities, homeowners, and families.From fraudulent legal documents to scheming mort-

gage servicers, U.S. homeowners have endured egre-gious violations by big banks. Enough is enough.In 2010, America discovered that the same Wall

Street banks that had brought our economy to thebrink of collapse were taking advantage of homeown-ers to pad their own pockets.While one in 10 Ohioans

was out-of-work, the na-tion’s largest banks weregenerating billions in prof-its by ignoring the law andforeclosing on homeownerswho were trying their hard-est to pay their bills ontime. And today, middle-class families are still suf-fering from mortgagelenders’ malfeasance.Earlier this month, 10 of

our nation’s largest banksreached an agreement to pay $8.5 billion to home-owners who were affected by unlawful foreclosures.The settlement money will be divided among all 4.4million eligible homeowners— including about 96,000Ohioans. Resources will be split between mortgage re-lief for borrowers, including loan modifications, anddirect payments to homeowners.While borrowers willbe contacted by the end of March if they are eligible, Ialso urge you to contact the Ohio Housing FinanceAgency, a housing counselor, or my office if you believeyou are eligible but have not been contacted.Though each borrower is eligible for up to $125,000

in relief, most will receive much less than that. Ifevery eligible borrower were provided equal relief,each household would only receive about $2,200. Thiswould hardly compensate families who lost countlesshours in disputes and possibly their homes as a resultof wrongful foreclosure proceedings.That’s why I’m calling for some common sense re-

forms that will make this a better deal for homeown-ers.Last week, I sent a letter to regulators demanding

that every dollar distributed gives homeowners themaximum benefit and prevents banks from avoidingtheir responsibilities.But while these payments will provide some relief

to homeowners, we must also stop these abuses beforethey start. That’s why I’m urging regulators to use thelessons learned from the foreclosure review process tofix a broken mortgage servicing model.If we’re going to shore up our economy, we need re-

forms like those in my Foreclosure Fraud and Home-owner Abuse Prevention Act. The reforms I haveproposed would require banks to provide meaningfulprotections for borrowers before they near the point ofdefaulting; participate in loan modifications; stop fore-closures when borrowers are trying to work withbanks to pay their bills on time; and hire enough staffto work with homeowners instead of issuing defaultjudgments on foreclosures.As the recent bank settlement shows, this bill would

have prevented bank abuses if it had been in place in2009 and 2010. Congress must pass this importantlegislation.The truth is that we all have a stake in this fight.

Even the most responsible homeowner can get caughtup in the web created by sloppy mortgage servicingpractices. And entire neighborhoods see their propertyvalues decline when foreclosures increase. That’s whywe all benefit when these big banks take responsibil-ity for their actions.We must provide relief to the millions of homeown-

ers forced into foreclosure. Now is the time to moveforward and correct the problems in our housing mar-ket to protect future borrowers.

Commentary

With a bow to thepast, an arc towardthe future and a

steady eye on his place inhistory, Barack Obamaopened his second term witha call to make the strugglesof the middle class, the im-migrant, the striving andthe vulnerable the Americancause in the second decadeof the 21st century.No modern inaugural ad-

dress ever was as punctuated with subtlereferences to the American canon as thisone, with repeated references to the pre-amble of the Constitution and with care-fully shrouded allusions to ThomasJefferson, Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy. Embedded in Obama’s speechwas a trove of the enduring remarks ofthree of the finest verbal craftsmen of theAmerican idiom.But equally prominent in his remarks

were references to the pathfinders ofAmerican freedom, the men and womenwho expanded the American electorate,who broadened American culture, andwho, with their challenge to the statusquo, enlivened and enriched the main-stream of American life.No president who preceded Obama

would have placed in the same sentencethe struggles of Seneca Falls, where an1848 convention and a Declaration ofSentiments began the women’s move-ment; the confrontation at Selma, the Al-abama county seat whose bridge in 1965became a bloody symbol of the civil rightsmovement; and the 1969 riot atStonewall, the gay bar in New York’sWest Village that became a symbol forthe fight for gay rights.And by saying that it was America’s

“task to carry on what these pioneersbegan,” Obama identified these onetimerebels with the insurrectionists whobegan the American Revolution and theAmerican experiment — and perhaps notwith their rebellious heirs on Capitol Hillwho hold the Obama presidency and theObama proposals hostage.Overall, the Obama speech set forth

the president’s vision of an America thatpreserves the social insurance programsof his progressive forebears, Franklin De-lano Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines John-son, even as it attacks the federal budgetdeficit and seeks comity in the Capitol,where ferocious fights over spendingmarred the president’s first term. Thesedivisions similarly threaten his secondterm, when the question of the future ofentitlements such as Roosevelt’s SocialSecurity and Johnson’s Medicare almostcertainly will be engaged.Throughout the Obama vision are the

sometimes irreconcilable values of unityand diversity — values encapsulated, andreconciled, in the phrase on the front ofthe U.S. Great Seal: E pluribus unum. ForObama used his remarks to set out a na-tional path and, at the same time, securenational unity.Inauguration Days are occasions for

high hopes and high rhetoric, and unityon Capitol Hill might be a barrier toohigh even for days like this one.“My fellowAmericans,” he said, “we are

made for this moment, and we will seizeit — so long as we seize it together.”The American political class has done

almost nothing together in the Obamayears without titanic struggle, and some-times, including the landmark Obamaoverhaul of the health care system, with-out any Republican votes whatsoever.Even so, the president seemed to be say-ing, the nation must move forward, some-times accepting small progress when

perfection is unattainable.“We must act,” he said in

an allusion to Kennedy’s1961 inaugural address,“knowing that today’s victo-ries will be only partial, andthat it will be up to thosewho stand here in fouryears, and 40 years, and 400years hence to advance thetimeless spirit once con-ferred to us in a sparePhiladelphia hall.”

The Obama speech may have providedfew quotes for the American scrapbook—the president relied, perhaps too much,on his predecessors for stirring senti-ments — but this was an inaugural ad-dress that was artfully and deliberatelyconstructed. He portrayed the Americanstory as a “bridge” between ideals of theDeclaration of Independence (specifically,that “all men are created equal”) andwhat he called “the realities of our time,”adding:“For history tells us that while these

truths may be self-evident, they havenever been self-executing; that whilefreedom is a gift from God, it must be se-cured by His people here on Earth.”That excerpt served two purposes on a

frostyWashington noon hour. It affirmed,as Lincoln had done, that the goals of theDeclaration of Independence, which haveno basis in law, were in fact the goals ofthe Republic created more than 10 yearslater by the Constitutional Convention.And it also tied Obama to Jefferson,

who wrote the Declaration, and toKennedy, who concluded his own inaugu-ral address more than a half century agoby saying that “here on Earth God’s workmust truly be our own.”Obama drew heavily on Lincoln, the

first Illinois president and the chief exec-utive he most admires, speaking of a“government of, and by, and for the peo-ple” (Gettysburg Address, 1863).Kennedy and Lincoln served precisely

a century apart, and it was to those twopresidents Obama turned for his trumpetcall at the conclusion of his address.Kennedy had said in 1961 that “the de-votion which we bring to this endeavorwill light our country and all who serveit — and the glow from that fire can trulylight the world.” Lincoln ended his secondinaugural in 1865 by pleading, “Let usstrive on to finish the work we are in.”The Obama version is an amalgam of

the two timeless remarks, updated forour own time:“Let each of us now embrace, with

solemn duty and awesome joy, what isour lasting birthright. With common ef-fort and common purpose, with passionand dedication, let us answer the call ofhistory, and carry into an uncertain fu-ture that precious light of freedom.”All this may on the surface seem at

odds with the notion that while only 43men have served as chief executive, everypresident is anAmerican original. But fora president who is decidedly not like theothers, it may be especially important toseem and sound like his predecessors,particularly like those whose soaringrhetoric made the American heart swell.At base, Barack Obama may indeed be

like other presidents. He wants to be re-membered, and quoted, generations fromnow. If he is, it may well be because of hisbelief in “that precious light of freedom”— his phrase, completely — that has il-luminated the American way, in our pastand in our own time.

Excerpts of recent edito-rials of interest from Ohionewspapers:

The (Toledo) BladeThink of it as unlocking

the value of Medicaid:450,000more Ohioans withhealth insurance, repre-senting a net revenue gainof about $1.4 billion to thestate over eight years. Theonly way to lose is for Gov.JohnKasich to say no to ex-panding Medicaid coverageunder Obamacare.Ohio’sMedicaid program

covers adults with children,whose household income is90 percent or less of the fed-eral poverty level; it doesnot insure childless adults.According to the HealthPolicy Institute of Ohio, anonpartisan think tank inColumbus, it would costOhio nearly $2.5 billion toexpand Medicaid coverageby 2022 to include alladults with incomes up to138 percent of the povertylevel about $32,000 a yearfor a family of four.Under the Affordable

Care Act, the federal gov-ernment would pay the en-tire cost of Medicaidcoverage for newly eligibleadults for three years. Thefederal share would thendrop gradually, leveling offat 90 percent in 2020….Mr.Kasich’s skeptical po-

litical side asks whetherWashington will keep itspromise to pay for expand-ing Medicaid in Ohio. Buthis pragmatic business sideshould not pass up billionsof federal dollars and ahealthier Ohio.

___The Ironton TribuneFar too often our govern-

ment leaders and lawmak-ers try to “fix” all ourperceived problems in aparticular area in one fellswoop, an approach that isactually flawed and im-pedes progress….Now here we go again

with proposed anti-gun leg-islation. The president un-veiled a $500 millionpackage that includes 23executive orders but willalso require action by Con-gress.Some of the proposed

changesmake perfect senseconsistent backgroundchecks regardless of wherea firearm is purchased andallowing schools to use fed-eral grant funds for safetyimprovements. Others, in-cluding the ban onmilitary-style assault rifles andmagazine clips for them,need more review.But lumping everything

into a one-plan-fits-all ap-proach makes it more diffi-cult to accomplish anythingbecause opponents of thechanges will have far moreopportunities to criticize.A smarter approach

would be incrementalchanges that can be ad-dressed one at a time.The end result would be

better for government effi-ciency and better for theAmerican people.

In notrump contracts,declarer often mustchoose which of two suitsto attack first. Unfortu-nately, there is no simpleformula to govern thesecases, and declarer doesbest by relying on com-mon sense rather than ageneral rule.Take this deal where

South is in threenotrump. He wins West’sheart lead with the queenand immediately faces acrucial decision -- whetherto play diamonds or clubsfirst. Declarer knows fromthe bidding that he is con-tending with at least afive-card heart suit heldby East.If you look at all four

hands, it becomes obvious

that the contract can bemade by going after theclubs first. South tries theclub finesse, losing toEast’s king, and ducks thenext heart lead, leavingEast’s remaining heartsto wither on the vine. De-clarer eventually finisheswith 10 tricks.But if South tackles di-

amonds first, he goesdown.West wins with theace, returns a heart to

South’s ace (it does nothelp South to hold up),and East later gains thelead with the king of clubsto put the contract downone.At issue is the question

of whether declarer, whocannot see the East-Westhands, should know toplay clubs first. Actually,he should, but not becausethe suit is longer. That ismerely a coincidence.

South should reasonthat if West has the kingof clubs, the contract isironclad regardless ofwhich suit he attacks attrick two. He thereforeautomatically assignsthat card to East and dis-possesses him of it atonce.It is true that if East

has both the king of clubsand ace of diamonds, theclub finesse at trick twowill prove ineffective. Butin that case, leading dia-monds first would alsofail. The point is thatplaying the clubs first willalways make the contractif it can be made, whiletrying the diamonds firstmight or might not makethe contract.

DEAR ABBY: I am awoman in my early 20s andin my first serious relation-ship. I adore “Paul.” We havea wonderful, respectful rela-tionship. One day I hope we’llbe married.I feel strongly that we

should not live together be-fore we are married. He dis-agrees. He feels couples needto know each other’s habitsfully before they make a life-long commitment. I under-stand the financial andemotional convenience ofsharing a home with yourloved one. However, I believethat marriage changes a liv-ing dynamic whether youhave lived together or not.Conflicts that arise post-marriage can be faced with agreater sense of resolve,knowing that a formal com-mitment has been made.Abby, what’s your take on

this? Should couples live to-gether before marriage? Idon’t want to be stubbornand say I’ll never live withanyone before getting mar-ried, because I know it’s avery common thing to do.What can I say to Paul andfriends who disagree withme to defend my “old-fash-ioned” logic?

DEAR TRADITIONAL-IST: I don’t think you shouldargue with them on the sub-ject at all. Just say that al-though many couples livetogether today without mar-riage, YOU aren’t comfort-able with it. You are not theonly person who feels thisway. Many people withstrong religious convictionsfeel the way you do about it.In my opinion, this is some-thing that couples shouldwork out between them-selves.

DEAR ABBY: My next-door neighbor “Rod” and Iwork at the same place,about 10 miles from ourhomes. He has a medicalcondition that prevents himfrom driving. Until recently,he took the bus, but thatroute was stopped, so he now

relies on his wife for trans-portation every day. Sheworks and also takes care oftheir three kids.Last summer, I drove Rod

for a while, but he was a ter-rible carpool companion. Hewas perpetually late, and I’dhave to wait for him in themorning and after work. Hewould brag nonstop abouthow good he is at his job, andthen want to stand around inour driveway chatting in-stead of just going inside. Henever offered to pay for gas orcompensate me in any way,and seemed unable to findother arrangements when Ihad to work late or run er-rands after work, whichmade me feel trapped in hisschedule. I finally got tired ofthe hassle and made an ex-cuse to stop driving him.There is no real reason I can’ttake him now except that hewas such a pain in the you-know-what that I don’t wantto. But I feel guilty when Isee his wife loading up alltheir kids to make the drive.What’s the right thing to do?We may be neighbors for avery long time.

ABIGAIL VAN BURENAdvice

BY SANDY COHENAP Entertainment Writer

PARK CITY, Utah —Third-trimester abortions —those done beyond the 28thweek of pregnancy — ac-count for less than 1 percentof all abortions performed inthe United States each year.Only four doctors nation-wide offer the procedure.Their stories and those of

their patients are told in“After Tiller,” a documentaryin competition at the Sun-dance Film Festival.Filmmakers Lana Wilson

and Martha Shane were in-spired to examine the issueafter the 2009 murder of Dr.George Tiller, a colleague ofthe doctors featured in thefilm.“Our generation has re-

ally been alienated from theabortion debate in a lot ofways,” said Shane, 29. “It’sbecome a shouting match inthis country and extremelypolarized, so this was achance to take a really newapproach to the issue and tofocus on the intimate situa-tions and the people who areworking at the center of thestorm,” she said.Doctors Susan Robinson

and LeRoy Carhart came toSundance (with security) todiscuss their participation inthe film. They opened uptheir clinics and their homesto the filmmakers in an ef-fort to diminish misconcep-tions about their work andtheir patients.“One of the worst miscon-

ceptions is that womenmake the decision to havean abortion lightly and friv-olously,” Robinson said. “But,actually, it turns out womenare adult moral agents, justlike everybody else, and theyare capable of wrestlingwith very complex ethical is-sues that only they have allthe pieces to.”

The filmmakers acknowl-edge that even those in favorof abortion rights often don’tsupport or understandthird-trimester abortions.Shane and Wilson them-selves didn’t know muchabout the issue before begin-ning work on their filmthree years ago. What wouldmotivate a woman to seekan abortion so late in herpregnancy? What would mo-tivate physicians to performa procedure that leads themto be vilified daily by pro-testers?“One of the things that

most surprised us about get-ting to know (the doctors) isthey’re not political zealots,”Wilson said. “They have verycomplicated feelings on thissubject. They struggle with alot of the moral and ethicalcomplexities in doing thiswork every single day.”One of the doctors fea-

tured in the film said shesees the aborted infants asbabies, not fetuses or clumpsof cells. But the baby is in-side the woman, “and shecan’t handle it,” the doctor

said, for what she describedas “a variety of desperatereasons.”“First and foremost,

they’re doctors. They’re notpoliticians,” Shane said.“Their goal is to care fortheir patients who are goingthrough one of the most dif-ficult things a woman can gothrough, so that’s wheretheir dedication comesfrom.”The film shares the sto-

ries of several patients un-dergoing third-trimesterabortions. Most elected tohave the procedure afterlearning of severe fetalanomalies that would pre-vent their babies from livinghealthy lives. In such cases,the pregnancies wereplanned and the parentshold funerals for their still-born infants.One young patient, a col-

lege student, was raped andin denial about her preg-nancy for months. Anotherspent several months savingup for an abortion, and bythe time she had the money,she was more than 28 weeks

pregnant.The film shows how

women often ponder theirdecision “for days, for weeks,some of them for monthstrying to get help and notbeing able to find it,” saidCarhart, a Vietnam veteranwho has been providingabortions since the late1980s.The film also includes the

protesters who regularlymarch and chant outsidethese doctors’ offices and of-fers their arguments againstthe procedure.“Abortion is not a public

policy,” Carhart said. “(Oppo-nents) are using abortion forpolitical purpose, and it’s notfor the betterment of thepeople in this country.”Shane and Wilson said

they hope their film human-izes the doctors and offers asense of “the wide-rangingcircumstances” that moti-vate women to choose third-trimester abortions.Wilson said viewers op-

posed to abortion might be“really surprised about someof these people’s circum-stances, especially fetal-anomaly patients, and reallyhave to think, ‘Should we behaving these blanket lawsapplying to everyone?’”Robinson hopes the film

makes abortion easier to un-derstand and accept — andultimately guarantees itsaccessibility.“I hope that it will make it

clear to viewers that this isa very complex topic andwomen consider these issuesvery deeply,” she said. “Ihope that it will help de-stig-matize the whole issue ofabortion so that it’s a littleless cloaked in secrecy andshame. It needs to stay legal.It needs to stay safe and itneeds to come out of theshadows.”

Sundance doc sheds lighton 3rd-trimester abortion

Review: ‘Cover of Snow’ asks hard questions BY JEFF AYERSAssociated Press

Jenny Milchman’s debutnovel, “Cover of Snow,” inti-mately examines the life ofa woman who is in grief andpain, doubt and shock, fol-lowing the death of her hus-band.Nora Hamilton woke up

after a wonderful night ofpassion and reconciliation tofind an empty bed. She dis-covers her husband, Bren-dan, hanging from a rope.From all outward appear-ances, he was happy, andNora doesn’t believe he tookhis own life. It makes no

sense that he would killhimself, and he didn’t leavea note.The friends and family

she could depend on whilehe was alive are now dis-tant. All Nora wants are theanswers to why Brendandied, and looking for themwill take her on a journeythat will have her question-ing her sanity — and theman she married.Brendan is somewhat of

an enigma since the readernever gets to see him alive,but that’s the point. Thefirst-person account toldfrom Nora’s point of viewthrusts the narrative full

force into horror, sadnessand every other emotionNora experiences as shemust start over withoutBrendan.It’s really not much of a

surprise when the answersto Brendan’s death are re-vealed. But what makes“Cover of Snow” sing isMilchman’s ability to makereaders care for Nora as shesuffers and starts anew.How well do we know our

loved ones, and how will wecope when they’re gone?These hard and uncomfort-able questions propel Nora’sstory as we examine thosequestions for ourselves.

AMMAN, Jordan —From a podium at anAmman street rally, theleader of Jordan’s MuslimBrotherhood vowed thatsoon the country would be-come a “state in the MuslimCaliphate,” bringing cheersof “God is great” from thecrowd of bearded, Islamistsupporters.It was extreme rhetoric,

suggesting that the monar-chy thatdefines thisU.S.allyin theMideastwill disappearto be replaced by an Islamicstate. The Brotherhood, thetop opposition group in Jor-dan,usuallyavoids suchboldstrokesand insists on its loy-alty to the king.But the speech last week

byHammamSaeedpoints tohowtheheat is turningup inthe country’s simmering po-litical confrontations as Jor-dan holds parliamentaryelections Wednesday thatthe government touts as amilestone in a gradualprocess of bringing greaterdemocracy.KingAbdullah II is trying

to control thepace of change,ceding enough of his ab-solute powers to parliamentin hopes of forestalling anyArab Spring-style uprisingslike theones that toppledau-tocratic leaders in Egypt,Libya, Yemen and Tunisiaand devolved into a bloodycivil war in Syria. But theBrotherhood and others inthe opposition say hismovesdo not go far or fast enoughto end his monopoly onpower.“The elections are a the-

atrical comedy,whichwewillnot take part in,” said ZakiBani Irsheid of the IslamicAction Front, the Brother-hood’s political party. “It ispart of a royal gimmick tobuy time and block any

moves toward real and gen-uine reforms.”The Brotherhood is boy-

cotting the vote, as are foursmaller parties, includingcommunists and Arab na-tionalists. But the Islamists’frustration is growing be-cause theyhaven’t been ableto rally a large sector of thepublic to their side. Thoughthere is anger over the econ-omy, rising prices and cor-ruption, many Jordaniansalso distrust the Brother-hood, eyeing its rise inEgyptand fearing it could grabpower inJordanandthrow itinto instability.The protest Friday at

which Saeed spoke was farsmaller thanexpected,num-bering only just over 1,000,despite the Brotherhood’sboasts it would bring outtens of thousands to showthe people’s rejection of thereform program.The government says the

measured pace of reformaimstoacclimatizeJordantodemocracy. Constitutionalreforms made last year byAbdullah start to edge thegovernment out from underhis total domination, hand-ing more authority to thenewly elected parliament.The Chamber of Deputieswill nowhavea freerhand todraw up legislation, astronger role in monitoringthe Cabinet and for the firsttime lawmakers, not theking, will choose the primeminister.An IndependentElectoral

Commission was createdand taskedwith supervisingWednesday’s voting, takingover the responsibility forthe first time from the Inte-rior Ministry, which is incharge of security forces.Last week, Abdullah sig-

naled that he was ready torelinquish more powers inthe future.“The system of ruling in

Jordan is evolving ... and themonarchywhichmysonwillinherit will not be the sameas the one I inherited,” hetold a French magazine. Hedidn’t elaborate,buthis com-ments raised speculationJordan could eventuallymove towardaconstitutionalmonarchy,with the king in amore ceremonial role.Government officials said

Abdullahwants to ensurean“effective” system of gover-nance inwhichmaturepolit-ical parties can fill a vacuumto be left by the monarchystepping back from runningdaily affairs of the state.Theofficials insisted onanonymity, saying it was theking’s prerogative to an-nounce such plans.Prime Minister Abdullah

Ensour cautioned that“change can’t happenovernight. Itwill take a littlebit of time.” But he said theprocess of democratizationwas “carefully calculated,step-by-step,genuine and ir-reversible.”“Hard work will kick in a

day after the elections,whenthenewparliamentwill electa primeminister for the firsttime in Jordan’s history,” hetold reporters. “More lawswill be amended as we gothrough the path we havechosen.”With the opposition stay-

ing out of the race, the nextparliament is likely to be amixof independentswith lit-tle political experience andpro-king conservatives, asprevious ones were. TheBrotherhood says it is boy-cotting thepolls toprotest anelection law it says is biasedin favor ofAbdullah loyalists.The government insists ithasadoptedaglobally recog-nized election system andthat the Islamists’ alterna-tive would inflate their rep-resentation.Turnout Wednesday

among the 2.3 million regis-tered voters could be a keymeasure of how much trustor enthusiasm the publicfeels for the reformprogram.The Commission said 1,425candidates, including 191women and about 139 for-mer lawmakers, are vyingfor seats in the new, 150-member lower house of par-liament.Thekinghassaid thenext

stepswill be to build real po-litical parties. He wants tostreamlineJordan’s 23 smalland fractured political par-ties into three or five coali-tions based on ideology —right, left and center — forfuture parliamentary elec-tions. Currently, votes areusually cast on the basis oftribal affiliation and familyconnections, producing suc-cessive parliaments domi-nated by pro-government,conservative tribal politi-cians. Although Jordan’smultiparty system was re-vived in1991, followinga35-yearbanpromptedbya1956leftist coup attempt, opposi-tionparties remainunable tochart clear programs, claim-ing they are intimidated bytight scrutiny and securitycrackdowns.Reformlaws introduced in

the past two years eased re-strictions on the freedom ofspeech, opinion and assem-bly, but it is still taking offi-cials time to interpret orimplement them. Regula-tions were also revamped toallow for transparency,reha-bilitate a public sectormarred by bureaucracy,nepotismandcorruptionandrebuild public confidence instate institutions.So far,apowerful business

tycoonandanex-intelligencechiefweresentenced to jail inseparate corruption cases.Prosecutors are also investi-gatinganadditional 100 cor-ruption cases involving

serving and former officials.The Brotherhood vows to

continue opposing Abdul-lah’s policies through“peace-ful” street protests and willattempt to rally thenextpar-liament to oppose the reformprogram. It insisted it willnot resort to violence to grabpower.“We will not relent until

our demands are met,” saidIslamic Action Front secre-tary-general Hamza Man-sour. He said the demandsincluded rewriting the con-stitution to give parliamentequal powers to the othertwo branches of authority,namely the executive andthe judiciary. Mansour saidwhile his group does not ad-vocate “toppling the monar-chy, we want to see the kingtaking a step back to allowparliament to share in thedecision-making process.”Abdullah has faced little

public criticism at homesince he ascended to thethrone in 1999. After theArab Spring’s eruption inlate 2010, Jordan has seenfrequent but smallerprotests than elsewhere inthe Mideast. However, lastNovember, a small group ofJordanian activists blamedthe monarch for a suddenjump in the prices of gas andfuel and called for his ousterin unusually violent streetprotests in which three peo-ple were killed and dozenswere wounded.

TOLEDO — A formerMarine who said he set fireto an Ohio mosque becausehe wanted to avenge thekillings of American troopsasked Tuesday to withdrawhisguiltyplea to federalhatecrime charges.In his request, Randy

Linn said he was underduress and depressed whenhe entered his plea lastmonth in the fire at a subur-banToledomosque.“I made the wrong deci-

sion,” he wrote.A deal between prosecu-

tors and Linn had called forhim to be sentenced to 20years next April after hepleaded guilty to intention-ally damaging and destroy-ing religious property andtwo gun-related charges.Prosecutors say he broke

into The Islamic Center ofGreater Toledo last fall andwent room by room to makesureno onewas in thebuild-ing before he poured gaso-line onaprayer rugand lit iton fire.Linn described on Dec. 19

how he had been drinkingheavily before he drove tothe mosque in Perrysburg.U.S. District Judge JackZouhary asked Linn whatmotivated him to go there.“Every day you turn on

theTV,you seeMuslims try-ing to kill Americans,” saidLinn,53,a truck driver fromSt. Joe.When asked whether he

thought allMuslims are ter-rorists, he answered:“I’d saymost of them are.”Inmoving towithdrawhis

plea, Linn said he did nothave the chance to talk de-fense tactics, strategies orthe effect of his guilty plea.

Federal prosecutorsdeclinedto comment on Linn’s re-quest.Authorities said Linnhad

several firearms in his carand carried a gun into themosque when he set the fireon Sept. 30.A sprinkler system extin-

guished the blaze, leavingsmoke andwater damage inthe prayer room of the facil-ity, whose golden dome is alandmark along Interstate75.No one was hurt.Members of the Islamic

center have been unable touse the building and expectrepairs to be finished by theend ofMarch.Linn said in court last

month that he started tohave second thoughts whenhe drove home. “Comingback, I thought, ‘What in theheck did I do?’”“I feel bad Idid it,”he said.

“It’s a little too late now.”

Jordan election touted asstart of democratization

MOHAMMAD HANNON/AP PHOTODemonstraters wave the Jordanian flag during a protest by the Muslim Brotherhood movement and other opposition parties againstthe upcoming parliamentary elections, in Amman, Jordan, Jan. 18. Friday’s peaceful demonstration drew about 1,300 Muslim Brother-hood members and others, united in the election boycott and in demands that King Abdullah II cede some of his powers and give par-liament more say in the country.The demonstration comes just five days before elections that will for the first time see a prime ministeremerge from among the winning candidates, rather than by appointment by the king.

PIQUA— On Saturday,Jan. 19, PHS’s “The Com-pany” hosted their 14thinvitational with specialguest Todrick Hall.Poca High School’s

show choir placed first atthe invitational and re-ceived awards for best vo-calist and best choir. Thesetlist for their perform-ance was “India,” by Xan-dria, a Jungle Mash upwhich involves songs suchas “Will We Go Round inCircles?” “Welcome to theJungle,” “Bad Romance,”by Lady Gaga, “The Dis-tance You Have Come,” byScott Alan with soloistSlater Jarrell, “Fountainof Youth,” by The Sub-dudes with soloist Bran-don Drake, and “LiveForever,” by RuPaul.“The students did very

well for their first time infront of an audience. Themajority of the group are

freshmen, so I am ex-tremely pleased with howthey did. They haveworked really hard thisseason and wanted to suc-ceed,” said Poca directorJoseph Kincaid.The title of their show is

“Life is an Adventure” andis an “Indiana Jones” in-spired theme to find thefountain of youth. Thelyrics and performance ofthe songs give the image

of a journey to unchartedlands. Through the secondsong on the setlist, thegirls of the group areabandoned and lost, whilethe boys of the group playthe role of tribal men inthe jungle. The girlsthroughout the rest of theshow eventually grow tolike these “Jungle Boys,”and this relationship isportrayed through thesong “Bad Romance.”

With the closer, the per-formers find the fountainof youth and have pre-vailed through all obsta-cles to reach thisdestination. “I am alwaysnervous the day of thecompetition.This year wasdifficult for me due morepersonal situations. I wasconfident that the kids didtwo good shows, but I tendto get nervous because Inever know what thejudges are thinking,” Kin-caid said. “Since it was ourfirst competition of theseason, we just wanted tohear the feedback fromthe judges, and since ourshow had a “theme,” wewanted to make sure thejudges understood it.”The costumes corre-

sponded with the show’stheme of life being an ad-venture. The opening cos-tumes represent andabstract image of a safaridress. The girls blue dresslater on in the show repre-

sented the water from thefountain of youth. Thisshow was prepared byKincaid, assistant directorEdward Brown who helpswith the singers and bandmembers, and choreogra-pher of the Show and songarranger David Legg.“The students and I felt

awesome when we tookfirst place. It is a greatway to start the season.The group knows thatthey still have a lot ofwork to do in order tomake the show even moreamazing,” Kincaid said.The PHS show choir did

not compete at the invita-tional since they werehosting the event.The next show choir

competition for “The Com-pany,” will be Feb. 2, atFindlay High School.

Joyful JanelleBBYY EEMMIILLYY HHOOEERRSSTTEENNFreshman year can set you up for a great four years of high

school. Freshman Janelle Gravunder began her year by get-ting elected as president of the freshman class. It takes a lotof courage to run for office as a freshman. This is a qualitythat Gravunder has.In addition to Student Council, Gravunder has joined Band,

Pro-Lifeguards and Mock Trial. You can find her running cross country in the falland she intends to run track in the spring. These sports are fitting for Gravunderbecause one of her favorite activities is running. She also loves books and likesto spend her free time reading. Her favorite author is Sarah Dessen.Gravunder has three siblings who all attended Lehman High School. Brian and

Andy Gravunder are both Lehman graduates and Sarah Gravunder is a currentLehman junior. Unlike most people, Gravunder does not have just one or two pets. She and her

family raise a miniature horse, two Standardbred horses, one dog, three cats, and10 chickens.Gravunder’s favorite class is Religion, but her favorite teacher is Mrs. Wendel,

who teaches Sociology, Geometry, and Algebra II. Gravunder likes anything withcaramel and her favorite color is yellow. Gravunder will go on to do great thingsat Lehman so watch out for her these next three and a half years.

The Double LifeBBYY JJOOHHNN HHUUSSAATeachers at Lehman are always busy, grading tests, seeing

students before and after class, and getting the best out ofthe students. Imagine being both a teacher and the seniorguidance counselor. It is no easy task, and Barb Saluke hasthe pleasure of being both.Mrs. Saluke teaches two Advanced Junior English classes,

Senior Comprehensive English, and AP Senior English. Totop off grading papers and remembering where each class is in their lessons, shehas the role of being senior guidance counselor. Being the senior counselor, she has many things on her “to do” list. She has to

verify credits for colleges and letting colleges know that the students have grad-uated. She also goes through college admission applications. Mrs. Saluke also works with the financial aid and scholarships available for stu-

dents, and organizes the Financial Aid Night held at Lehman. She is not done yet,as she helps with ACT prep, and is the person who college admissions officerscontact for a student’s class rank, GPA, and other information.There is no question that Mrs. Saluke constantly has her hands full. “The hard-

est part is to work out time to meet with students. They may have a study hallavailable to meet, but I am teaching a class and cannot meet with them whenthey are free.” It is easy to see how difficult it is to meet with students with how much she has

on her plate, and how busy students are as well. If that isn’t enough to do, Mrs. Saluke has accepted the job of directing the spring

all-school musical for the first time this year.In conducting this interview, I enjoyed learning what all goes into being a guid-

ance counselor, and the work that she does. Having a job like this requires a greatdeal of dedication and patience. Despite the workload, Mrs. Saluke does a greatjob everyday.

Lunch Ladies: Behind the ApronsBBYY EELLLLIIEE CCAAIINNAt Lehman, students are blessed with three top

notch lunch ladies. Connie Bowden is the one whokeeps track of the lunch accounts on the computer,tracks shipments, and oversees all of the special pro-visions to make our lunches great. Cheryl Crissingerand Alethea Whitney work behind the counter, dish-ing up the food. A normal day for the lunch ladies starts about 7

a.m. and lasts until 1:30 p.m. In that time of their workday, they start preparing for lunch about three hours before the first lunchmod around 11 a.m. “The hardest lunch to prepare is probably for Thanksgiving. We had turkey,

mashed potatoes, rolls, just a lot to prepare,” said Ms. Connie. “We receive threesmall shipments a week, and a bigger one each month.” There are many provisions the lunch ladies must seek to make sure our lunches

fit the state requirements. Temperature control is amajor factor in preparing our food, and also clean-ing which effects the amount of utensils, plates,pans, and bowls that they can use to prepare ourfood.After the lunch day is over, it usually takes about

an hour to clean up and start planning for the nextday. The lunch ladies deserve a special thanks forworking very hard to keep our lunches better andtastier.

Whitney serves upchicken strips

Senior profile: Kennedy McIverBBYY AALLLLYY BBEERRGGMMAANNWith a student population of around 200 students, it is

not hard to know everyone at Lehman. When you are anoutgoing, carefree senior, it’s almost impossible for stu-dents not to know your name. That’s why the school as awhole has no problem remembering senior KennedyMcIver.Otherwise known as “Ken,” McIver’s favorite subject is

Journalism and Ms. Duritsch is the teacher she admiresmost. When she’s not at school, Kennedy can be found ather preferred restaurant, Cazadores, or watching her fa-vorite TV show Pretty Little Liars. McIver’s color of choice is purple and seafood is hands-down her favorite food.

She also loves hanging with friends, whether shopping at the Greene or watch-ing her favorite movie Law Abiding Citizen.McIver’s plans after graduation are to attend Wright State University and major

in Physical Therapy. The absence of her hilarious, boisterous laugh radiatingthroughout the halls will be strange, but like most Lehman seniors, McIver has abright future ahead.

bright and early and be atthe school by 3:30 a.m.Then they made the four-hour bus ride to Middle-bury.“Most of the team spent

the four hours trying tocatch up on their sleep;however, once it got lightenough, some chose towake up and start study-ing,” said participantMegan Jones.At awards, the team

dressed up since they werethe only team from Ohiocompeting.“I really liked that we

dressed up for awards,”said Jacob Ganger. “Theteam felt like they wererepresenting Ohio, and weall really wanted tomake agood impression. We wentand tried our hardest andin some events that wasshown.”Top placers this week-

The Piqua boys basket-ball team is heading intothe NBA stretch in itsschedule, playing fivegames in nine days, begin-ning Friday when the In-dians travel to rivalSidney.And while Piqua enters

Friday’s game at 5-9 over-all and 1-5 in the GreaterWestern Ohio ConferenceNorth, there is still a lot tobe gained.After traveling to Sid-

ney Friday, they make thetrek to Greene County toplay D-III GreeneviewSaturday, before hostingFairborn Tuesday in aGWOC North crossovergame.“With the holiday Mon-

day (Martin Luther KingDay), we have had a nicelittle break (going intothis stretch of games),”Piqua coach Heath Butlersaid. “We want to win asmany games as possiblebefore the tournamentdraw.”Not, that the Indians

need any extra motivationbefore playing Sidney, 2-

13 overall and 2-4 in theGWOC North.“It is a rivalry game,”

Butler said. “And playingup their, they alwaysshoot the ball better ontheir home floor.”And Piqua lost a third-

quarter lead with Sidneyin a game at Piqua in De-cember. The Jacketsscored 54 points in thesecond half for an 88-77win.Tyree Manley, a 6-foot

senior who is averaging18.6 points per game,scored 30 points in thatgame, while 6-0 sopho-more Eric Beigel came off

Tough night for PiquaIndians drop state team dual to TroyBY ROB KISERSports Editor

rkiser@dailycall.com

BEAVERCREEK — Itwas not the situationPiqua wrestling coachScott Kaye wanted to be inat the first round of thefirst State Team Dualtournament Wednesday atBeavercreek High School.And one he hopes he is

in never in again.With just six Piqua

wrestlers making the tripsouth, The Indians weredown 42 points before thematches ever started.“We had a couple guys

who couldn’t wrestletonight,” Kaye, whoseteam has already beenshorthanded all season,said. “I hope it is not likethis next year. The guys ineighth grade (off theGWOC North champions)

are committed to workinghard and being part of theprogram.”And things didn’t get a

lot better once thematches started.Wrestling right into the

strength of the Trojan pro-gram, Piqua lost five ofthe six matches wrestled,with the final score being72-5.The one bright spot for

Piqua was Drew Durand

(14-10) dominating hismatch with Matt McGill-vary from the start, win-ning a 17-2 technical fall.Durand recorded a five-

point move in the first 20seconds and never let up.“Drew (Durand) was

coming off a tough tourna-ment at the Top Gun,”Kaye said. “So, it was goodto see him come out andwrestle the way he did.”Tanner Chambers (160)

and Eion Hogston (182)both wrestled returningdistrict qualifiers andJake Hetzler (285) had towrestler Troy heavy-weight Alex Dalton (26-5).“There were some tough

matchups for us in thematchups wrestled,” Kayesaid. “It was just a toughnight for us.”Chambers was pinned

by Logan Schlosser (14-10) in 2:17, while Hogstonwas pinned by Kevin Mc-Graw (23-4) in 1:03. Dal-ton pinned Hetzler in1:10.In the other two

matches wrestled, Troy’sShane Love (103) pinnedPiqua’s Hayden Weldy in1:48; and Troy’s DevonBurke (170) pinned Dal-ton Price in 41 seconds.Piqua will be back in ac-

tion this weekend at theLoveland Invitational.

rison and Colton Bach-man came off the bench toscore 16 points each andTate Honeycutt had a sea-son-high 15.“You can’t just focus on

just (Tyree) Manley andforget about everyoneelse,” Butler said. “Wehave to be aware of all fiveguys.The Beigel kid reallyhurt us the first game.Wehad a five-point lead inthe third quarter and letthat game get away.”Piqua is led by Josh

Holfinger, who is averag-ing 11.5 points and 9.6 re-bounds, which puts himamong the GWOC leadersin that category. Bachmanis also averaging in doublefigures.The Indians are coming

off a heartbreaking 38-37loss to Vandalia, wherePiqua had a 27-20 leadlate in the third quarter.After shooting 40 per-

cent the first three quar-ters, the Indians were just2-for-12 from the floor and3-for-7 from the line in thefourth quarter.“I don’t think we tight-

ened up, because we camefrom four down in thefinal minute and tied itup,” Butler said. “I thinkVandalia tightened up

their defense and wemissed some free throwsearly in the quarter. Ithink when that happens,it affects your confidence.”Piqua will face a tough

challenge Saturday in theRams, who are led by 6-3guard Evan Bradds.Bradds has led

Greeneview to an 11-2record, averaging 23points and six assists agame.“No doubt, he is an out-

standing player,” Butlersaid. “He is a tall guy outat the guard position. Heis a very unselfish player,who gets everybody in-volved. They are a verygood team.”Fairborn will bring a 5-

junior guard, averages 17points per game, while 6-3junior Malik Jacobs aver-ages a double-double with12.1 points and 11.1 re-bounds per game.“They are a very solid

team,” Butler said. “Theya very tough, physicalteam with good athletes.We feel like it is awinnable game.”And another chance to

COLUMBUS (AP) —Ohio State coach ThadMatta has agreed to a re-vised contract which willgive him a 10 percent in-crease to more than $3.2million annually and in-cludes academic bonusesand more stringent word-ing about NCAA viola-tions.With years he had al-

ready earned through jobperformance, the five-timeBig Ten champion coachwill be under contractthrough July 2019.Matta's first eight Ohio

State teams have eachwon at least 20 games andare 13-4 this season andranked No. 14. He has arecord of 234-69 with theBuckeyes after takingover a team that was onprobation."One of the things I'm

most proud of is whatwe've built here, from

where we started," hesaid. "You look at whatwe've been able to accom-plish, I'm a lot more proudof that than I am of a con-tract.“I feel as blessed as I

can be to be at Ohio State.I love this university.“I'm extremely grateful

in terms of what theyhave allowed me to do andhow they've taken care ofme."Before coming to Ohio

State,Matta was the headcoach at his alma mater,Butler, for a year and forthree seasons at Xavier.His career mark is 336-100.Athletic director Gene

V E R S A I L L E S —Wrestling has alwaysbeen a “quality over quan-tity” sport.And no one knows that

better than Troy Christian— a team that won threestraight Division III Stateteam titles without oncehaving a full roster.Things haven’t changed

much.The fourth-seeded Ea-

gles — who return two in-dividual state champs andhave their sights set onanother team title thisseason — kicked off theOHSAA Dual Tournamentwith a 38-24 victory overNo. 5 Miami East despitenot being able to fill fiveweight classesWednesdaynight at Versailles.“We’ve been working

hard, and the kids all havethe right mindset,” TroyChristian coach Ty Mor-gan said. “I was happywith everyone’s perform-ance tonight.“Giving up five weight

classes, we want to do aswell as we can (in the dualtournament).“We can’t worry about

forfeits. We’ve just got towrestle to our potentialand focus on each individ-ual guy.”Miami East was minus

three wrestlers, as well —two of which would havepicked up forfeits.As it stood, the Vikings

won three 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 to

who’s working hardestand putting forth the ef-fort when it matters most,and that wasn’t ustonight.“We had three guys out

sick tonight, and there’snothing you can do aboutthat. Head to head, you

still have to win morethan they do.”The marquee match

was at 120 between a pairof state-caliber athletes,Miami East senior AllenSeagraves and Troy Chris-tian sophomore GarrettHancock.After a scoreless first

two periods, Hancock —who placed fifth at stateas a freshman — startedon bottom and broke thetie with an escape with aminute to go.But Seagraves — a

three-time state qualifier— answered with a take-down before falling out ofbounds to claim a 2-1 leadwith 38.1 seconds 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 attemptsat a reversal and was ableto work his way out for anescape at the buzzer tosend the match to over-time.And after a scoreless

overtime period, thematch came down to two

30-second tiebreakers.Hancock got an escape inthe first one to go up 3-2and maintained control inthe second one, hangingon for the win.“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.We just need to be on theright end 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 hescored a takedownhalfway through the firstovertime to win 8-6 overAaron Hubbard.“Those two fought at

182 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 inonly 21 seconds, JarredGanger (113) won a 19-3tech. fall and ChaseMayabb (132) won a 9-3decision.Mack Rose (145) picked

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

turn for the second roundJan. 30 to face the winnerbetween top-seeded Ver-sailles and No. 8 South-eastern."Versailles has a full

lineup. Thirty points,that's hard to come backfrom," Morgan said. "Wewill just have to focus onthe matches we do have."After all, i t's worked for

the Eagles so far.

BEREA—One mysterywas cleared up Wednes-day at Browns headquar-ters in Berea. Anothercould remain unsolved atleast through the draft.Norv Turner will call

plays on Game Days, headcoach Rob Chudzinski an-nounced at the beginningof a press conference in-troducing Turner as theBrowns new offensive co-ordinator.As for the identity of

the quarterback at the re-ceiving end of those playcalls — that is the mys-tery. It might be BrandonWeeden for a secondstraight season or it mightbe someone else. Chudzin-ski said it is “premature”to commit to the playerformer general managerTom Heckert chose withthe 22nd pick in the firstround of the draft lastyear.“I think that’s prema-

ture to say any of thatuntil we all get together,we get the staff set, we geta chance to sit down andtalk through personneland everybody’s on thesame page with thosethings,” Chudzinski said.“You don’t know watchingtape, necessarily, howguys are. Sometimes guyswill get out there and theyget into the (new) system

and maybe it’s a better fit.Maybe you see somethings that you didn’t seefrom tape, whether itsgame tape or practice tapeso you just never know.“There are a lot of

young guys and thoseyoung guys have a lot ofgrowth potential. Youhave to see what they arewhen you get out there onthe field.”The Chudzinski-Turner

hookup should be a goodone for the Browns.Turner, 60, has beencoaching 38 years includ-ing 14 as an NFL headcoach. He says his egoisn’t bruised by steppingdown to offensive coordi-nator to work for a coach16 years younger andChud isn’t intimidated byhaving someone withTurner’s experience on hisstaff.Chudzinski said he and

Turner are still mappingout exactly what theBrowns offense will looklike in 2013, but theirphilosophies are closeenough that when thefinal product is presentedto players in April for thefirst time it should involveplenty of downfield pass-ing — something Weedendid well in college.“It’s a combination of

power running and beingable to make explosiveplays, big plays down thefield,” Turner said.
