INDIANAPOLIS – It may have been a bit nerve-wracking, but the No. 1-ranked Center Grove Trojans are moving on to the Class 4A regional round. |
The Trojans overcame a dramatic, -tying home run in the bottom of the seventh to score twice in the eighth inning and take a 3-1 win over Martinsville in the Franklin Central sectional championship game. |
Coach Russ Milligan’s team moves on to host the East Central Sectional champion in the regional contest next Tuesday. |
It nearly didn’t happen for the now Trojans (28-1). Center Grove pounded out 11 hits and received an 11-strikeout, no-walk performance from junior pitcher Abby Herbst. |
Yet, if not for an overturned call in the sixth inning that led to CG’s first run, it might have all ended on a dramatic, two-out solo home run over the left-field fence by Martinsville’s McKenna Gardner. |
Instead, that blast simply tied the score and the Trojans pushed two runs across in the top of the eighth. |
The game sailed through five innings in a scant 45 minutes with neither team scoring. The only real scoring chance came from Center Grove when Clara Andersen led off the third with a double, but was later gunned down at home plate by Martinsville center fielder Elizabeth Snipes. |
In the sixth inning, Piper Belden came to bat with one out. Belden, however, was ruled out by the home plate umpire when she made contact with the ball outside the batter’s box. After Milligan protested, the umpire checked with the base umpire and the call was changed to a foul ball. |
Given new life, Belden slapped a single to right on the next pitch and, after a fly out, Jordyn Rudd blasted a double to left center to score Belden. |
It appeared that would be enough for Center Grove, but Gardner blasted the first pitch over the left-field wall -- 208 feet away and 8 feet high. |
In the eighth, Addy Osborn led off with a single and scored on another Rudd double for what proved to be the winning run. Rudd scored on a sacrifice fly by Lexi Fair. |
Herbst and her defense, which played flawlessly, did the rest, getting the Artesians (23-5) in order in the eighth. |
Abby Herbst (W) and Lexi Fair; Lexi Lucas (L) and Annah Elliott. |
2B: (CG) Andersen, Rudd 2, Osborn. |
Records: Center Grove 28-1; Martinsville finishes 23-5. |
I found the article by Bennett to be not only a perceptive insight, but also an essential foundation for our children's educational needs. I'm in agreement that the three Cs--content, character and choice--definitely should be present, if not included along with the learning skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic. |
Providing a curriculum of quality is of the upmost importance, yet our children could possibly be subject to a form of rote education. To restrict the learning experience to the three Rs would only leave us prone to missing out on the advantages of the three Cs! |

Do you remember when I wrote about "what flavor are you"? When it comes to desserts, my theory has consistently been that you are a caramel, chocolate, or citrus person. I pretty much am a caramel person if judged by my list below. These are my top 10 desserts, but keep in mind I am not a big dessert eater. I am more o... |
10. Crème brulee - So creamy and not too sweet, and the hard caramelized sugar speaks to most of us. I make a crème brulee ice cream that one of my dearest friends said I should patent. How can you go wrong with sweet heavy cream and egg yolks topped with caramelized sugar? |
9. Pineapple upside down cake - It is the butter and brown sugar that caramelize around the pineapple slices in the bottom of the pan that makes this cake worth eating. And leave off the maraschino cherries for me. |
8. Chocolate-covered caramels with sea salt - How perfect for a salt and fat person like me, and this dessert is also the perfect size. |
7. Chocolate mousse - Hold the whipped cream and make sure it is the classic French preparation. Dense and rich is the key. |
6. Strawberry pie - When the Louisiana strawberry vendors start lining the highway near Ponchatoula in late April, it is time for a strawberry pie, and it has to have lots of fresh whipped cream. |
5. Doberge Torte - Thin layers of cake with a custard filling between each layer. I like the chocolate one. This style of cake was created in New Orleans in 1933 by Beulah Ladner, who adapted the recipe from the Austrian Dobos Cake. In 1946 she sold her shop and recipe to Joe Gambino. I remember better versions that my... |
4. St. Honore cake - Specifically from Stella Pastry in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. Even though the custard has a distinct rum flavoring, that is part of what makes it memorable. |
3. Chocolate eclair - It has to be filled with pastry cream—no whipped cream filled éclair will do—and the chocolate on top has to be dark and rich. |
2. Pecan pie - Flaky crust is a must, light Karo syrup not dark, very custardy, and small wild pecans that you find around Natchez. |
I have heard every possible story about where Bananas Foster originated, even that it was created at Antoine's in the 1850s for Stephen Foster, who was known as the "father of American music" and died in 1864. Foster may have eaten at Antoine's as it opened in the 1840s, but it is not Bananas Foster that they flambé th... |
In fact, Bananas Foster was invented a hundred years later at Brennan's Restaurant in the 1950s. New Orleans was the major port of entry for bananas shipped from Central and South America, and Owen Edward Brennan challenged his talented chef, Paul Blangé, to include bananas in a new culinary creation. This now classic ... |
Paul Blangé knew what he was doing in the kitchen. Butter and brown sugar were a match made in heaven, cinnamon and rum are so perfect together, and what better way to round off the sweetness than the addition of a bit of orange and lemon zest. How can you go wrong when you slightly cook bananas in this buttery, carame... |
This is a dessert that anyone can make with ease. I don't get into the traditional flambéing of this dessert, as I am apprehensive to encourage anyone to play with fire. If you do flambé, be sure and sprinkle some cinnamon into your flame for an added "sparkle" to your presentation. But even without the show, this is a... |
WASHINGTON — GOP House leaders delayed their planned vote Thursday on a long-promised bill to repeal and replace “Obamacare,” in a stinging setback for House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump in their first major legislative test. |
The decision came after Trump, who ran as a master dealmaker, failed to reach agreement with a bloc of rebellious conservatives. Moderate-leaning Republican lawmakers were also bailing on the legislation, leaving it short of votes. |
The bill could still come to a vote in coming days, but canceling Thursday’s vote was a significant defeat. It came on the seven-year anniversary of President Barack Obama signing the Affordable Care Act, years that Republicans have devoted to promising repeal. |
Those promises helped them keep control of the House and Senate and win the White House, but now, at the moment of truth, they are falling short. |
“No deal,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said after he and his group of more than two dozen rebellious conservatives met with Trump to try to get more concessions to reduce requirements on insurance companies. |
The survey was conducted March 16 to 21 with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. |
GOP leaders had targeted Thursday for the climactic vote, in part because it marks the seventh anniversary of Obama’s signing the measure into law. With the House in recess awaiting the outcome of the White House meeting, C-SPAN aired video of that signing ceremony. |
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., couldn’t resist a dig. |
In a count by The Associated Press, at least 30 Republicans said they opposed the bill, enough to defeat the measure. But the number was in constant flux amid the eleventh-hour lobbying. |
Tension has been building in advance of the critical vote, and a late-night meeting of moderate-leaning members in Speaker Ryan’s office Wednesday broke up without resolution. |
A key moderate who had been in the meeting, Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, issued a statement saying he would be voting “no” on the health bill. “I believe this bill, in its current form, will lead to the loss of coverage and make insurance unaffordable for too many Americans,” said Dent, a leader of the Tuesday Gr... |
Moderates were given pause by projections of 24 million Americans losing coverage in a decade and higher out-of-pocket costs for many low-income and older people, as predicted by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. |
New Zealand players celebrate after the match crushing Italy in Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy. |
“I think Ireland’s success against the All Blacks has been a positive for the whole world — they’re not invincible,” said former Ireland captain Brian O’Driscoll. |
But that Dublin victory capped an incredible 2018 for Ireland and coach Joe Schmidt, who will stand down after the World Cup. |
They began with a Six Nations Grand Slam, beat Australia 2-1 in an away series and won all their November tests. |
With a settled squad and domestic system geared to support the national team they head into 2019 — where they begin their Six Nations defence at home to England — full of optimism and confidence. |
Double defending champions England also suffered as Eddie Jones’ previously all-conquering side lost three matches to finish fifth — their worst Six Nations showing for 31 years. |
WASHINGTON – Here, little piggies! |
Stuffed into the 451- page bill are more than $1.7 billion worth of targeted tax breaks to be doled out for a sty full of eyebrow-raising purposes over the next decade. |
* Manufacturers of kids’ wooden arrows – $6 million. |
* Puerto Rican and Virgin Is- lands rum producers – $192 million. |
* Auto-racing tracks – $128 million. |
* Corporations operating in American Samoa – $33 million. |
* Small- to medium-budget film and television productions – $10 million. |
Another measure inserted into the bill appears to be a bald-faced bid aimed at winning the support of Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), who voted against the original version when it went down in flames in the House on Monday. |
That provision – a $223 million package of tax benefits for fishermen and others whose livelihoods suffered as a result of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill – has been the subject of fervent lobbying by Alaska’s congressional delegation. |
Some of the pork-barrel measures buried in the financial rescue package had been contained in a bill that previously passed the Senate, but died in the House. |
The Congressional Budget Office said the package of breaks – including obvious pork and some more defensible tax-relief measures – will add about $112 billion to budget deficits over the next five years because the bill doesn’t contain enough offsetting revenue hikes to keep the budget balanced. |
The legislative lard annoyed Tom Schatz, president of the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste. |
“There’s always something that goes on at the end where the last dozen members are trying to get something for themselves or for a special interest rather than what might be good for the country,” Schatz said. |
Some of the other measures added to win approval include a $3.8 billion health-care provision that forces insurance companies to provide coverage for mental-health treatment equivalent to the coverage they provide for physical illness. |
Other add-ons will increase individual tax credits and help shield more than 20 million Americans from the painful alternative minimum tax, and offer breaks for businesses that invest in alternative fuels. |
Also, several federal income-tax breaks due to expire will now be extended through 2009. |

Kristina Asafova listening to the charges against her at a court hearing Monday. |
A 21-year-old student has been arrested in connection with a weekend crash that maimed the son-in-law of Transneft president Nikolai Tokarev. |
Kristina Asafova, apparently intoxicated, was driving a Mercedes sedan on Kutuzovsky Prospekt away from the city center around noon Saturday when she struck a BMW motorcycle driven by Tokarev’s son-in-law, Andrei Bolotov, investigators said. |
Her car then veered into the oncoming lane and hit two other vehicles. |
Bolotov, who until March had served as a vice president at state-owned VTB, was hospitalized in critical condition, and his right leg had to be amputated, investigators said. |
A second person, the driver of one of the cars that Asafova hit, was also hospitalized with suspected chest injuries. |
Eyewitnesses said the initial collision was caused by Asafova in her attempt to cross several lanes, Interfax reported. |
An initial police test showed the alcohol content in Asafova’s blood to be 3 parts per million, which corresponds to a bottle of hard liquor, Interfax said. |
Her lawyer later contested that result, however. |
Asafova, who turned herself in to authorities voluntarily, apologized before reporters at the court and acknowledged that she had drunk alcohol prior to the trip. |
If convicted of reckless drunk driving, Asafova faces up to four years in prison. |

Episode 504: Can Hospitals Save Money By Making Doctors Squirm? |
December 18, 2013 We sit in on a tense conversation where doctors argue about why it's so hard to start surgery on time. And we hear what happens when you change the way hospitals and doctors get paid. |
December 18, 2013 People now have until January 10 to pay for their first month of coverage through the health exchanges. But people using the federal exchange still have to get signed up by Dec. 23. Some states have pushed deadlines even later. |
December 13, 2013 The nonpartisan PolitiFact has given the president's claim about his health care program a dubious honor. Obama said that "if you like your health care plan, you can keep it." When it became clear that wasn't correct, the White House tried to "rewrite his slogan," the fact checkers say. |
December 2, 2013 A woman in Michigan says that a Catholic hospital failed to give her adequate health care when she came to the hospital after her water broke when she was 18 weeks pregnant. That has sparked a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union. |
