It marked the third time the animal had been involved in a human death. Distraught audience members \\ere hustled out of the stadium immediately. and the park \\as closed. Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40. was one of the park's most experienced. Her sister ::-.aid Brancheau wouldn't want anything done to the whale that killed her because she loved the animals like children. Brancheau was rubbing Tilikum after a noontime show ''hen the 12.000pound whale grabbed her and pulled her in. said Chuck T<:m1pkins. head of animal training at all ScaWorld parks. It was not clear if she drowned or died from the thrashing. Becam.e of his s11e and the previous death'>. trainers were not supposed to get into the water with Tilikum. and only about a dozen of the park's 29 trainers worked with him. Brancheau had more ex perience with the 30-vear-old whale than lllO'>l. · "We recognized he was different," Tompkins said. He said no decision has been made yet about what will happen to Tilikum. such as transfcring him to another facility. A retired couple from Michigan told The Associated Press that they \Vcre among some stragl!lers in the audience who had stayed to watch the animals and trainers. Eldon Skaggs. 72, said Brancheau's interaction with the whale appeared leisurely and informal at first. But then the whale "pulled her under and started swimming around with her,'' he said. Skaggs said an alarm sounded and staff rushed the audience out of. the stadium as workers scrambled around with nets. 1 Skaggs said he heard that during an earlier show the whale was not responding to directions. Others who attended the earlier show said the whale \Vas behaving like an ornery child. The couple left and didn't lind out until later that the tr~~ner had di~d. . . We were JUSt a little bit stunned," said Skaggs' wife. Sue Nichob, 67. Another audience member, Victoria Biniak, told WK MCi-TV the whale "took off really fast in the tank. and then he came back. shot up in the air. grabbed the trainer by 1 1 horrified spectators watch Julie Fletcher/Orlando SentlneVMCT Dawn Brancheau, a whale trainer at SeaWorld Adventure Park, shown performing on December 30, 20051 was killed in an accident with a killer whale at the SeaWorld Shamu Stadium in Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday the waist and stmted thrashin~ around. and one of her shoes flew off." Two other witnesses told the Orlando Sentind that the whale grabbed the woman by the upper arm and tossed her around in its mouth while swimming rapidly around the tank. Brazilian tourist Joao Lucio DeCosta Sobrinho and his girlfriend were at an under'' ater viewin!! area wtien they suddenly-saw a whale with a person in its mouth. The couple said they watched the whale .show at the park two days earlier and carne back to take pictures. But on Wednesday the whales appeared agitated . "It was terdble. It's very difficult to see the image." Sobrinho said. A SeaWorld spokl.!srnan said Tilikum was one of three orca~ blamed for killing a trainer in 1991 after the woman lost her balance and fell in the pool at Sealand of the Pacific near Victoria. British Columbia. Steve Huxter. who was head of SeaJand's ammal care and training department then. said Wednesday he':. surprised it happened again. He says Tilikum was a well-behaved. halanced animal. Tilikum was also involved in a 1999 death. when the body of a man who had sneaked by SeaWorld security was found draped over him. The man either jumped. fell or was pulled into the frigid water and died of hypothermia. though he was also bruised and scratched by Tilikum. Wednesday. Later SeaWorld in San Diego also suspended its killer whale show. It was not clear if the killer whale sho\\ has been suspended at Sea\Vorld's San Antonio location, which is closed until the v.eekend.

Democrats promise additional measures to create jobs, promising help for • small businesses having trouble getting loans. aid for cash-strapped state governments. and subsidies for people who make their homes more energy efficient. But budget deficits arc a worry. and future measures are going to be more difficult to~pass - especially s:nce a top Senate Democrat has blocked unused authoritv from the Wall Street bailout program from being used to "pa\ for" jobs initiatives. • The bill contains two major provisions. First, it would exempt businesse.., hiring the unemployed from the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax through December and l!ive them an additional $1.000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year. The Social Security trust funds would be reimbursed for the lost revenue. Second. it would extend hil!hwav and mass transit programs through the end of the year and pump $20 billion into them in time for the spring construction season. The money would make up for lower-than-expected gasoline tax revenues . Brancheau in the Sentinel in 2006. sht•. was one of SeaWorld Orlando's leading trainers. It was a trip to Seu World ut age 9 that made her want to follow that career path. ''I remember walking dov. n the aisle (of Shamu Stadium) and telling m\ mom.

Brancheau worked her way into a leadership role at Sharnu Stadium during her career with SeaWorld, starting at the Sea Lion & Otter Stadium before spending lO years working with killer whales, the newspaper said.

Governor Strickland joined several federal. state and local officials to celebrate the announcement that Ohio was awarded $400 million in federal stimulus money to launch passenger rail service linking Cleveland. Columbus. Cincinnati and Dayton by 20 12. The Governor, who had been lobbying the Obama Administration for more than a year to secure federal funds for the proposed 3C rail project. called it an ''historic" day for Ohio. But lost in the pomp surrounding the announcement were answers to some important questions that many of my colleagues and I believe must be addressed before Ohio spends even $1 on the project, including what it will cost and who will use it. I have also heard from Ohioans across the 17th Senate District and other parts of the state who are confused about the details of the proposal and concerned about their tax dollars going to support passenger rail. The Strickland Administration has labeled the planned 3C service as ''high-speed rail." but the average speed of the train, when you include stops. is 39 miles per hour. At that pace, it would take six and a half hours to travel from Cleveland to Cincinnati. The same trip in a car may take four and a half hours. In addition, with only four trams in service at any given time. there would be a very limited departure and arrival schedule. If you wanted to go to Cleveland and back from Cincinnati to watch a baseball game. shop or conduct business. you most likely would have to stay the night. The 3C would not be like trains in many other major urban centers across the country which come and go every 20 or 30 minutes. So. with the slow pace and limited departure schedule, what is the incentive for Ohioans to use passenger rail? The cost of the project is also a major issue, particularly at a time when the state is expected to face a multi-billion structural deficit when it comes time to draft the next two-year budget in 2011. Even if these trains attract riders, there will be a need for the state to provide a subsidy to keep them running. which according to a study by Amtrak. could reach S 17 John Carey million per year. Other analysts believe the <1mount could end up being much higher. This money would presumably have to come from the state ·s general revenue fund and could take away dollars from education or medical care for the poor. Further. the Strickland Administration has appeared to have little idea of what the final 3C project is going to cost. The Govemor has said that the $400 million Ohio recei\;ed from the federal government in January will be enoughto purchase rail cars. upgrade existing freight railroad tracks and cover other expenses necessary to get passenger train service up and running. But less than a year ago, the Governor said the plan was e:oin!! to cost $250 million. Three months later. supporters said it would cost $400 million. two months later it vvas $343 million and one month later the Admin-istration asked the federal government for $564 million. Ohio rail advocates say that the Governor's 3C train proposal is the first step toward faster rail sen·ice in Ohio that would reach speeds of II 0 mph. and attract tl1ree times the number or passengers. according to the Amtrak study. But this upgrade to high speed rail has been estimated to costS I .5 billion. Where are we going to get that money? Senate President Bill Han-is recently sent a letter to Governor Strickland ~ hich outlined these and several other important questions that need to be addressed before the state moves forward with the 3C rail project. For instance, what additional studies will be required before the state knows the true costs of the project'? The Amtrak studv. which the Strickland Adni.illlstration has used to cite potential costs and predict ridership. spl!cifically says that it is ··not intended to be an in-depth. consultant-type" T\\~ \.\t~\~C~ ~\1\"'\\ \\\ \\U~1 ~'Ntij \0 ~t U\)\.OOK~ e\aluation. and instead. should serve • as a "barometer" for "whether the proposed project appears to be viable and worthy of further study and development." In addition, the Amtrak ~tudy says · that the financial information they provided was for ''illustrative purpo~­ es only" and "has been based upon the hypothetical 12-month operation of the completed 3C Corridor.'' So. when will the state have more concrete financial projections that give us better infomJation on which to make our decisions? President Harris' letter also asks what the status of discussions are between the state and freight railroad companies. which according to the Amtrak study. have not yet "agreed to the reintroduction of passenger rail services to the 3C CotTidor" or the specific infrastructure improvements. draft schedules and a number of other related items. During debate on the state transportation budget early last year Senate Republicans worked to insert a provision that said any money for passenger rail service must first be approved by a super-majority of the state Controlling Board. As a member of the bipartisan. seven-member Board. which re' iews state agency contracts and other spending requests. I ha,·e a direct role in deciding the fate of the Governor's 3C project. There are many legitimate issues that need to be addressed before the Controlling Board considers this long-term ~financial commitment. I look forward to getting answers to these important questions from the Strickland Administration in the coming \.,·eeks and continuing the discussion about the merits of 3C passenger rail. ff you have any questions, thought-; or concerns about the Governor's 3C rail proposal or another state issue, or if you need assistance working with a state go\ ernment agency, please v.Tite to me: Senator John A.

PageA6 The Daily Sentinel Ohio convert: Reconciliation with family not possible B Y ANDREW WELSH- H UGGINS ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS A teenage runaway who tled Ohio with the alleged help of Christian pastors. claiming she'd be harmed for converting from Islam to Ch1istianity, says a reconciliation with her Muslim parents is no longer possible. Efforts by Ohio and Florida courts to reunify Rifqa Bary with her family have failed and she continues to fear being hurt by her parents, according to a cou1t filing by Bary's attorneys. "Bary continues to refuse any contact with her parents and has made clear that she does not foresee a time when she will agree to have any contact with her parents," Bary's attorneys said in the Monday filing in Franklin County Juvenile Court. Bary, J 7, wants Judge Elizabeth Gill to rule that a reunion is impossible and that it's not in Bary's best interest to be returned to her native Sri Lanka. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday. Bary's parents. Mohamed and Aysha Bary. pulled out of a deal last month that would have included counseling as part of a reunion effort. The parents alleged that the county child welfare agency, which now has custody of the girl and which developed the reconciliation plan, was still allowing her to talk to the Florida pastor and his wife who sheltered Rifqa there. Police in Columbus are investigating whether anyone broke the law helping Bary leave home for Florida in July. Bary's father alleges a Columbus minister drove Bary to a Greyhound station where she received a bus ticket and took a bus to Orlando. Fla. There. she stayed with the minister and his wife whom she met through Facebook - for about two weeks before the state of Florida took custody of her. Monday's filing also alleges Bary would be harmed or killed if she retums to Sri Lanka and raises questions about the girl's legal status in the United States. The document notes that federal law allows ··an undocumented immigrant minor" to receive petmanent resident Status when placed in longterm foster care by a judge. Bary's legal status has not previously been an issue in her case. The attorneys who filed the document are under a gag order and can't comment. · The filing alleges Bary has been threatened by Muslim fundamentalists in Sri Lanka and that she could be killed for converting if she returns. Because of "the death threats from extremists and third pruties in Sri Lanka, Ms. Bary legitimately fears being forced to retum to her home country," the filing said. Police in Florida and Columbus fOtmd no evidence the girl faced harm in Ohio. Sheriff's own home broken into LANCASTER (AP) The Fairfield County sheriff is offering a $1,000 reward for information on a crime that hit very close to home. He says his own house was burglarized. Sheriff Dave Phalen says the break-in shows anyone can be a crime victim. Nothing was taken. Phalen says he and his wife went out for a walk Sunday evening. and when they returned six minutes later they found evidence that someone had entered their home and tried to disable the alarm system. which was going off. The reward money is out of the sheriff's own pocket and is for a tip that leads to an arfest. Thur sday, February 25, 2010 Ohio school groups support new law on school year BY LISA CORNWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI - Despjte the heavy snows that forced lengthy school closings this winter. Ohio school groups remain committed to a new state law that reduces the number of days school districts can cancel classes without mak1ng up the lost time. The public schools are required to have at least I 80 instructional days a year but can fall short by up to five days because of snow or other unforer-.een circum~>tances. Beginning next school year. that changes. Starting in 2010-2011, the number of "calamity days'' will drop from five to three in a compromise reached by legislators amid opposition to Gov. Ted Sttickland's proposal to add 20 more days over the next 10 years to increase instmctional time. Professional school groups say that while making up lost days can complicate planning and possibly add costs, providing as much class time as possible is essential to improve student achievement. "We think districts should be given as much flexibility as possible. but we believe all calamity days ~hould be made up to give children more instructional time," said Damon Asbury. legislative services director for the Ohio School Boards Association. ··we understand districts· different positions and circumstances.'' said Kirk Hamilton. deputy executive director for the Buckeye Association of School Administrators that supports eliminating calamity <.lays. "But every missed day not made up is a day of lost educational opportunity." Neighboring Kentucky. Indiana and West Virginia require schools to make up all missed days. In West Virginia. mandated stmt and end~ <.lates for the school year are being eliminated to give schools more flexibiltty in meeting the minimum 180 instructional days, according to that state's education department. Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction Deborah Delisle is to make recommendations by December concerning the length of the school year. Some say the next step for the state may be to eliminate the remaining three calamity days. House Education Committee Chairman Brian Williams, D-Akron. thinks there is support for lengthening the school calendar. ''I think this first piece sends the signal that Ohio agrees with the research showing more time on task results in better achievement by kids.'' said Williams. However, unions ru·e concerned that teachers be paid for any extended work time that might result from schools having to make up more days, Ohio Federation of Teachers President Sue Taylor said. "We also wony that fewer calamity days might make administrators more reluctant to cancel school,jeopardizing safety." said Michele Prater. spokeswoman for the Ohio Education Association union. Parent Lorrie Sturm of Grove City shares the safety concern and doesn't want the number of calamity days reduced. Making up more days causes problems for parents gearing vacations, childcare and extracurricular activities around school schedules. she said. ··r think it's ridiculous to take away spring break or have school on Saturdays,'' said the mother of three who ·attend central Ohio's South-Western City School District schools. "A lot of kids won't even be there so what does it accomplish?" Still, school district officials are making plans for the new pohcy. Districts including Cleveland. Dayton. Columbus and Cincinnati say safety remains the primary concern, and they don't consider fewer calamity days a major problem. Cincinnati Public Schools spokeswoman Janet Walsh said the 34,000-student district does worry about unexpected expenses and is looking two years ahead on calendars to provide more planning time. ·'Districts will have to think more about contracts and how to adjust schedules and build that into their calendars,'' said David Varda. executive director of the Ohio Association of School Business Officials that favors adding mor~ instmctional time. Varda says extra costs depend on contracts. board policies and how clays are made up. Meanwhile. the 2.600student Switzerland of Ohio Local School District in eastern Ohio is trying to fig- ure out how to make up for lost time this year. T he district covers 546 square miles with buses travel ing 4,000 miles of rural roads daily. It has missed 14 snow days and wonies about possible Ohio River flooding~ "Cutting calamity days a concern, but we won 't p children or staff at risk even if that means making up more days." said Superintendent Larry Elliott. The district is considering options like adding a halfhour to some days and holding class on Saturdays. 1V2 r:a g:21zlirr.1(8 .8.ru~/~C Co ffd" .if f 'DiamondS-9\{_-(j o[c[ •A uni":.jut': select.on oi NC::dding sets ana eng<:~gmem rings. •F1nancing •Purcnase tracking •Diamond Upgrade Policy ·Bridal Parr:; Gifts ·Engra'Jing •Complimentary Ring Cleaning ·E..<clusi ;e Hearts On Fire Retailer.

L1ndsey, McMasters). VANCOUVER. British Columbia (AP> - Lindsey Vonn went do\vn hard. .lach Parise made sure the U.S. men's hockey team didn't. Hours after Vonn broke her right pinkie in a giant slalom crash. the hockey guys found themselves in trouble against Swit7erland. The game was scoreless a couple minutes into the third period until Parise broke through. He added an empty-net goal in the closing seconds to seal a 2-0 victory and put the Americans into the semifinals. The Canadians advanced, too. finally looking like the juggernaut they're supposed to be - and in the game against Russia that some predicted would be for the gold medal. but was only a quarterfinal. Next up for the U.S squad is the winner of Wednesday's game between Finland and the Czech Republic. NBC already has said it will show that game live. in all time zones. at noon PST Friday. Canada advances to the other semifinal. against the winner of Wednesday's late quarterfinal between Sweden and Slovakia. Vonn 's status isn · t so clear. She landed on her left hip and battered her chin with a ski during her fall. Besides the finger. her back hurt. as did the bruised right shin that's slowed her for weeks. The cover girl coming into these Winter Games, Vonn's scorecard so far shows two medals (a gold and a bronze) and two wipeouts. It wasn't known I if she will ski her final event - the slalom - on I Friday. Fog forced the second leg of the giant slalom to be delayed until Thursday. More delays could give Vonn more time to heal. as happened with her shin. but there isn't much time left in the Olympics. Also ,:Vednesda_y. Canada's Vtt·tory tn women's. bobsled moved the hosts into a tie with the United States and Germany for the most gold medals with seven. So much for that "Own the Podium" concession speech. eh? Canadians had their best day yet, snagging a gold. two silver and a bronze. Americans added to their overall haul with bronze in women's bobsled and short- track speedskating 's women's relay. The total is up to 28. inching toward their record of 34 set at Salt Lake City in 2002. Germany has 24 medals. perhaps misstng another when a bobsled crew lost control on its final run. the brakeman flying out the back and the driver careening down the course inside the sled. Both walked away. HOCKEY Swiss goalie Jonas Hiller kept the~ Americans scoreless by stuffing Parise several times. with two more of Parise's shots clanking against the goal posts. Then there was the shot that Hiller tried swatting away. but it went off his shoulder and into the net a millisecond or two after the second period ended. "We kept saying on the bench. 'Don't get frustrated,"' Parise recalled. Parise finally scored 2:08 into the final period by redirecting a shot by Brian Rafalski early in a power play. Switzerland fought to tie it. but Ryan Miller made 19 saves and Parise scored again with 11.2 seconds left. The Americans are two wins from their first Olympic gold medal since the "Miracle on lee'' in 1980. Canada gave its nervous nation a huge sigh of relief. jumping to leads of 3-0 and 4-1 in the first period alone on its way to 7-3 trouncing of Alex Ovechkin and the world champion Russians. This was the first time Canada beat Russia at the Olympics in 50 years. and onlv the second time in II Olympics games against the Russians or Soviets. "Trust in each other. trust in our game plan. all those things are important." Canadian captain Scott Niedermayer said. GIANT SLALOM While this is Vonn 's worst event. no skier wants to go out like she did. "I was like a pretzel," she said. ··so tangled up." American Julia Mancuso. the defending Olympic champion. was next, and starters made the mistake of sending her out while Vonn was still down. That meant a resta11, which is tough on the bod) and the mind. She wound up 18th - and furious. She'll have at least one night to keep stewing over it. Elisabeth Goergl of Austria was the leader. The top American was Sara Schleper. in 14th place. Also notable in this event was Marjan Kalhor becoming the first Iranian woman to compete at a Winter Olympics. The 21-year-old Kalhor. who wore a pink head scarf beneath her safety helmet to comply with Islamic dress code. was all smiles at the end of her run. despite being the slowest of 68 skiers who finished the run. SHORT TRACK SPEEDSKATING The 3 .000-meter relay team of Allbon Baver. Alyson Dudek. Lana Gehring and Katherine Reutter was la:-.t acro::.s the finish in the four-team final, but got promoted to third when the apparent winners from South Korea were disquali fied. Reutter also set an Olympic record in \\inning her heat in the I .000 meters. The rest of the quarterfinals. semifinah. and finals are Friday. Apolo Anton Ohno is a baby step closer to another medal. too. "'inning his 500-meter heat. He~ too. has to endure three more rounds if he's going to extend his record of Winter Olympics medals by an American. He has seven. including gold m this event four years ago. Teammate Simon Cho also advanced. BOBSLED Just a few days ago. American Erin Pac said she didn't feel safe on the Whistler Slidmg Center track. then she strained her left hamstring in training. Now she and brakeman Elana Meyers have a bronze medal. finishing behind a pmr of Canadians. This was the first U.S. medal in sliding after getting shut out in men's and women's skeleton and twoman bobsledding. However. Americans a~e now 3-for-3 in women·.., bobsled since it was added to the Olympic program. SPEEDSKATING Martina Sablikova of the C:t.ech Republic captured her second gold medal in Vancouver. adding the 5.000 meters to the 3.000 title she's already won. "If there was another I00 meters I would not have made it." Sablikova said through a translator. Stephanie Beckert of Germany got silver. and 37year-old. defending Olympic champion Clara Hughes of Canada thrilled the crowd bv taking bronze. '"This crowd gave me wings," said Hughes. who also won two bronze medals in cycling at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. ··It was one of the best races of my life. Now. I am officially retired." Jilleanne Rookard \vas the top American. finishing eighth. SVEN KRAMER The coach who cost Sven Kramer the gold medal in speed skating's I 0,000 meters will be keeping his job. Kramer said Wednesday that Gerard Kemker..., has helped him too much to end their relationship over one mistake. no matter how colossal it was. ''I don't want to blame anvone. Knuner ::.aid. ''That doesn't help you to move on from this." Jn the Netherlands. 6.7 million of the nation's 16 million peopl_e. watched tJ)e race on televtswn. ''Hor f' f this possible!" screa the headline in the mas cin:ulation newspaper De Telegraaf. Kemkers said he still hasn't ...,een the replay. Nor does he need to. "It is burned into m) retina." he said. IOC president Jacques Rogge called Kramer the "best speedskater of his generation." comparing him to the the sport's alltime greats such as Eric Heiden and Johann Ola\ Koss. CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING Marcus Hellner was so far ahead at the end of his anchor leg that he had time to collect a Swedish fla!! to wave as he skied to the finish of the team relay. earning his second gold medal of these Olympics and Sweden's first in this eve. since 1988. Norway got silver. and the Czech Republic took bronze. The Americans were 13th. ATHLETES COMMISSION Angela Ruggiero is at her fourth Olympics as a hockey player. She'JJ be around the games for the next eight years C}s a member of the International Olympic Com.";uee. Ruggiero and British racer Adam skeleton Pengilly were voted onto the IOC and its athletes' commission in an election of their fellow athletes. Voting took nearly three weeks. "'i th seven others vying for the job. The U.S. now has three members on the 114-me! . ber IOC. JOHNNY WEIR Figure skater Johnn) Weir wants the French broadcasters who made derogatory comments about his masculinitv to "think before they ::-.pe-ak." He said understandin!! was more important than an apology. "I don't want. 50 years from now. more boys and girls to go through this same thing." he said.

New Haven Youth League meeting Southern United Volleyball Club Pomeroy Youth League signups Eagles from Page Bl seeded Symmes Valley at WHS at 6:15 p.m. SVHS defeated fourth-seeded Trimble by a whopping 6838 margin in the second contest~ at Wellston on Wednesday night. Afterward EHS coach Howie Caldwell was a little disturbed by his team ·s effort after halftime. but he also noted that the Eagles ultimately accomplished their primary mission on Wednesday. "We came into the locker room after the game and discussed some~ of the things that we were upset about. mainly our play in the second hal f. But I learned a long time ago that when it comes to the tournament, you survive and advance and move on:· Caldwell said. "We get a week of practice to work on some things. and we will be working on some things. but we also have another chance to play again. ··At the same time, here we are talking about the negatives from tonight for a team that is 19-1 and won by 20-plus points. The opening game of the toumament is always the toughest for some reason. and we got that one out of the way. We're going to continue to work hard and continue to get better, and we're going to start getting ready for the next one.'' The Eagles broke away from a two-all tie at the 5:47 mark of the first after Jake Lynch canned a trifccta, giving the hosts a 5-2 advantage. That basket sparked a 7-0 run. which allowed EHS to take a 9-2 cushion with 4:02 left in the opener. The Flyers countered with a three when Payton Blair made it a 9-5 contest with 3:23 remaining. but the Eagles closed the period with a 9-0 surge for a commanding 18-5 edge after eight minutes of play. Eastern led by 20 points (27 -7) with 5:22 left in the half and finally surrendered double digits at the 3: 12 Bryan Walters/photo Eastern's Kyle Connery tracks down a loose ball in the second half of Wednesday evening's sectional tournament contest against Ironton St. Joe.

(AP) Cold-shooting starts don't faze Evan Turner. The Ohio State star can rebound and find teammates for shots when his own shot isn "t falling. And. then. when his team is in a bind. Turner comes through in the clutch. It happened again Wednesday night in the ninth-ranked Buckeyes' 75-67 win over Penn State. Turner overcame shooting 1 for 7 in the first hal f. and scored eight straight points for the Buckeyes after the !'Jittany Lions had cut a 17-point lead to two with 5: 15 left. Bv the time Turner':-, min-i-run was done. it was 67-59 with two minutes left. "When you start making points. you start getting more confident about it and that was it." Turner said about his cold start. ''I felt like the shots I missed should have gone in and it was no problem." David Li!!htv scored 18. including aJl open 3 from the left '";ing that put the Buckeves (22-7. 12-4 Big Ten) up 49-32 with 13:50 left before Penn State answered with three straight 3-;. David Jackson's threepoint play off a layup \Vith 5:15 left got the Nittany Lions (10-17. 2-13) within 59-57. sending the Jordan Center crowd~longill!! for an unlikely up:o.et into~hys­ terics. Jackson finished with 13 points and six rebounds, while Talor Battle had a team-high 22. Enter Turner. who hit an array of jumpers and athletic leaners and finished the second half 7 of I 0 shooting. "The shots he hit. 1 honestly think )OU really can't guard them." Battle :o.aid. "It's pretty hard to guard him." The top two scorers in the Big Ten. Turner and Battle ~arc buddies from their days playing together on the U.S. national team last summer at the World University Games. On Wedne!->day night. Turner had the edge in their friendly rivalry.~ But he had help as Ohio State's balanced offense proved too much for Penn State to handle early in the second half when the Buckeyes opened with a 19-6 run capped b) Lighty's 3. That's when Penn State fina ll y found its range. hit- ting three straight 3s over the next two minutes in a 9-0 run. Jeff Brooks' jumper and Jackson ·s three-point play drew Penn State within two with 5:15 left. Knocked to the floor after getting fouled by Turner. Battle came to his teammate's aid and let out a big yell. But the Nittany Lions would get no closer. thanks to Turner's athletic play. He shov..·ed again why he's a candidate for national player of the year. "What you saw tonight. he's done that sever, . times." Ohio State coa Thad Matta said. "A lot ot' people forget he's 6-foot7. He's long ... he was able to get up over the guards. a couple pull-ups:· Turner also hit all nine of his foul shots. Battle said he thought his team may bm e expended too much energy in chipping away at th~e big deficit. Penn State coach Ed DeChellis didn't like the team's defense. "When you get it to where it's a three-point game. then you got to really suck it up and defend and make it really. really hard for them to score:· DeChellis said. "He backed us in and drove by us. No. 21 (Turner). He's a special player." With the regular season \vinding down~ every is a must-win for t Buckeyes in a tight Bt ... Ten race. They ~entereZI Wednesdav tied with Michigan State for second in the conference, a halfgame back of Purdue. As usual. Battle was at hi~ do-everything best. the only Nittany Lion to get consistent penetration in the lane. Posse:-.sing a quick first step. it was easy to see whv Battle ( 19.0 points) is -second in the conference in scoring behind Turner ( 19.5 points). \Villiam Buford assumed the scoring load in the first half with 10 points. while Turner went cold from the field. The Buckeyes went into the locker room at the half up just 30-26 after Penn State ·s Tim Frazier threw in a layup after a scramble for a loose b. just hefore the buzzer. Matta wasn ' t happy with his team in the locker room. Asked if he urged them to play harder. ~latta responded: '"That would be an understatement:· g:a. MORE LOCAL NEWS MORE LOCAL FOLKS.
