Councilman Bobby Phillips proposed to expand the current historic district lighting code to four signs total, with a limit of three in the road frontage and up to nine square feet of illuminated signs total after several business owners challenged the change in the code Monday.

Shane Carter remembers a time when the Lincoln Community Center actively embraced Black History Month, offering a number of activities to Troy residents of all ages. “When I was a kid at the Lincoln Center, it was always a big deal,” Carter said. “They always had things going on.” Somewhere along the way, however, those events began thinning out to the point of disappearing. Now that he’s running the show, however, Carter — the LCC’s executive director — plans on bringing it back. TROY The Lincoln Community Center’s celebration of Black History Month kicks off with an event from 6-8 p.m. Thursday and will feature several subsequent events that run through the course of CARTER February. “It was extremely important to me to bring this back,” Carter said. “No disrespect to the people who came before me, but we wanted to do something to help young kids understand how important not only Black History Month is to the community, but how important Lincoln Center is to the community. “This is the first time we’ve had something like this in a long time. I remember the center having a lot of things going on when I was a kid, but the last flier I’ve been able to find about Black History Month here was from 1995.” Thursday’s event will be highlighted by a mayoral proclamation from Troy Mayor Michael Beamish, praise dancing by the Second Baptist

It should not affect any school bus routes. The construction on Third Street will begin later this fall and is projected to finish by the end of this year or next spring. “That probably will cause some issues for busing and we’ll have to work with the school district on that,” Crusey said.

MIAMI (AP) — Despite two televised debates and a barrage of ads, Florida’s big-stakes Republican primary did not translate into a record number of GOP voters heading to the polls. Mitt Romney won a winner-take all primary that state officials said went fairly smoothly but yielded a turnout of roughly 40 percent. “I think that’s a respectable healthy turnout for a single party primary,” said Secretary of State Kurt Browning. Four years ago a spirited contest featuring Romney as well as U.S. Sen. John McCain and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani attracted more than 1.94 million Republicans across the state. With more than 95 percent of the precincts reporting, the turnout stood at a little more than 1.6 million voters. Top Florida officials pushed to move the

Signs • CONTINUED FROM A1 Director of public service and safety Patrick Titterington said the proposal would “close the gap” of the sign interpretation and prevent sign code violations. A survey of local business found 35 internally lit signs currently are in violation of the illuminate sign code, but the proposal would decrease that number to three or four businesses in violation. Patty Rose, owner of the Leaf and Vine bar and restaurant, located at 108 West Main Street, spoke out against the proposed signage limitation. Rose said the neon signs in her business are like “furnishings” much like a barber shop’s barber pole that is lit with movement or indoor lighting displaying furniture in the windows of local furniture stores and highlighting jewelry in the windows of downtown jewelry stores. “Alive, open and active and safe, you’d leave these signs,” Rose told the committee. “Turn off the lights

then it’s not alive, not open and an unsafe environment.” Rose said “lights create commerce” when businesses close and offices are closed in the downtown. After hearing from Rose, as well as the owners and bar manager of Submarine House, located at 14 N. Market Street, law and ordinance committee chairman Tom Kendall suggested the committee should table the recommendation to review Phillip’s changes to the proposal. The Troy Zone Code recommended that city council amend the ordinance of the historic downtown that would allow the following: 1. The sign that identifies the business name cannot be internally illuminated; 2. Only a sign can be internally illuminated; 3. A property cannot have more than two internally lit window signs; 4. One sign cannot be larger than four square feet in size; 5. The total square footage of all

internally lit signs cannot exceed six square feet; 6. These signs shall be subject to all other regulations of the zoning and sign codes as otherwise stipulated therein. Councilman Bobby Phillips proposed to increase the number of signs up to four illuminated signs total per business, with three in the front allowed and one other illuminated sign at other entrances such as an alley or back entrance. Phillips proposed to increase the square footage of illuminated signs to 9 square feet. • In other action, the Troy City Council utilities committee approved (3-0) a recommendation to council regarding authorization of the director of public service and safety to enter into a 20-year agreement with Caldwell Tank, Inc. for the maintenance of the Stanfield and Barnhart Road elevated water towers and the back wash tank. Caldwell would maintain all three tanks per a set schedule. The committee approved to request council to authorize a contract with

Caldwell Tank, Inc. for 20 years, which represents a $698,210 projected savings of 20 years compared to two 10-year contracts and a $603,800 projected savings over 20 years compared to a “pay as you go” approach. The finance committee approved (3-0) the application of a $30,300 small business development loan to Bayou Bell, LLC, Donald and Jennifer A. LeDoux, owners of LeDoux’s Restaurant to finance addition restaurant equipment and provide working capital for LeDoux’s Restaurant at 116118 West Main Street, Troy. The purpose was to fund the company’s additional restaurant equipment and working capital. The terms of the agreement include 5-years, interest rate of 3 percent simple interest, six months interest only payments. The security is a first place lien on business assets and a second place lien on the property of James and Janet Pour (parents of owner Jennifer LeDoux) in the 1700 block of Beechwood, Troy.

sions. They also plan to create a special committee to help and host some public hearings. No dates have been set for the hearings. Monroe Township Board of Trustees President Phil Cox discussed the board’s financial difficulties. According to Cox, they’ve seen a $90,000 reduction in their receipts, about 10 percent of their budget. There also has been a 40 percent increase in the costs to repair and repave roads. “Things are getting a little tighter for us, probably for everybody else as well, so we’re certainly scrutinizing things more carefully than we have in the past,” Cox said. Cox discussed the newly formed water and sewer district for the unincorporated part of the township. It was set up to meet the water needs of unincorporated residents. The Monroe Township Water and Sewer District Board was created to oversee the district. The water board holds meetings on the second Monday of each month at 7 pm in the township meeting room. Tipp City Schools Superintendent Dr. Kronour discussed with the other officials the proposed redistricting of the schools and reiterated the need for the levy in August. The redistricting, which would move kindergarten and first grade to Nevin Coppock and second and third grades to Broadway, is expected to save the district about $150,000 in personnel costs. There will be a meeting at 6 p.m. Feb.6 at L.T. Ball Intermediate School. Even with the cost savings of the redistricting, the school is requesting a levy due to lower state funding. The levy will appear before the voters in August. The exact amount of the levy is unknown, but Kronour said he anticipates it will be approximately a 7-mill levy. If the levy fails in August, school officials will try again on the November ballot.

operational until the end of this summer. Currently, the inner workings of the tower are being built. Painting is set to begin this spring. “The next phase is, when that one’s filled, we’ll draw down the one behind Menards and that’ll be refurbished and repainted,” Crusey said. That project is expected to begin next year. Another upcoming construction project is the new Tipp City fire station. The city is working with an architect to come up with a design for the new station. Crusey said he expects to have design options and cost estimates prepared in two or three months. The fire department also can expect to receive a new 100-foot ladder truck in 10-12 months. Council recently authorized the purchase of the new truck at $935,082. Other updates from the city included the resurfacing of the tennis courts, the annexation of the Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church and plans for the construction of a bike path through Lesher Woods, which depends upon funding from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Have you already decided who you are voting for president in November?

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

in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

On the contrary, I think Joe Paterno’s legacy should forever be stained by his allowing an alleged child molester to operate right under his own nose. As Fong did point out, Paterno could have — and should — have done more to stop what Jerry Sandusky was

allegedly doing to those young boys. He did not, however. And that far outweighs all the good things Paterno did at Penn State.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on the State of the Union address: President Barack Obama had two purposes in his State of the Union address: to offer a manifesto for the 2012 campaign and to articulate policy choices to Congress that would benefit the economy. In a speech that was argumentative if not aggressive, he was more successful in achieving the first objective than the second. But overall it was an effective speech. For some time Obama has telegraphed the overarching political themes of the speech — economic fairness and an expansive role for the federal government — and he stuck to that script. … His remedy included a familiar (and fair) call for a tax policy that asked more of the wealthy — fortuitously on the day his potential Republican opponent Mitt Romney released his tax returns. The speech also included a riposte to Republican claims that the government’s most constructive role is to stay out of the way. Invoking the Internet, the interstate highway system and the recovery of the auto industry, he offered a paean to government spending and suggested that more was desirable in the future. For example, the administraAs I tion wants to use half the savings from the See It troop drawdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan to ■ The Troy finance infrastructure.

He fell suddenly ill after losing his deportation case in Federal Court — his lawyers sought a delay. He went to Quebec Superior Court for a delay/ Justice Michel Delorme told him to stop “tribunal-shopping.” Even before Delorme’s rejection landed, Mugesera’s lawyers had started a hearing, by telephone — in Federal Court again, citing the Canadian Constitution. In 1992, a time ripe for an explosion in Rwanda, Mugesera said in a speech, “Why do they not exterminate all of them? Are we really waiting till they come to exterminate us? Do not be afraid, know that anyone whose neck you do not cut is the one who will cut your neck.” In 1994, the genocide of 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus began. Mugesera has lived in freedom in Quebec City for 17 years during deportation proceedings because Canada believes in due process and would not send him to a land where the jails are unsafe, the justice system is uncertain, and the death penalty may await. But Rwanda has grown up, banished the death penalty, and at 5:14 p.m. on Jan. 23, Mugesera, under guard, was airborne and bound for home. He did not deserve another day in Canada. Not even one. And Rwanda deserves him back for a fair trial.

DOONESBURY

You have to open your eyes to see the sun Some days, you wake up and even when the sun is not shining through the windows and you feel at your lowest point, you realize, that it will shine again. Then one day, it does. I am back. I am back to realizing that there is so much to life and so much to live for that there is no reason to be anything but abundantly excited about what each day has to offer. I have had the most amazing time lately. I have realized again how incredibly blessed I am to have the most amazing friends and family and it has helped that they all continue to surround me. While I am busier than I would like, being busy has lead to me meeting some of the greatest people. My co-workers and friends at my awesome jobs have become a pretty awesome part of my life and it just keeps getting better. This past weekend I went out with some of my friends. I enjoyed the laughs, the smiles and the love that I was surrounded by. I realized that I am so blessed to have the life I do

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist with the people I have to share it with. Saturday morning was one of those ah-ha moments that we all look for when we get in those slumps. Saturday morning I went to my first run group with the folks of the “Winan’s coffee group” because it was the first week of the collaboration with Up and Running. I showed up with about 60 some odd other runners to go out and enjoy ourselves — and man o’ man did we do just that. As we bundled up and headed out, it immediately started snowing. Yes, we are all crazy enough that we run outside for miles in the snow. It was beautiful. It wasn’t too cold, the

— Mark Richards Troy

snow was falling and we were all just in a line running, listening to music, laughing and singing. It was what every runner (in my opinion) dreams of. It was the perfect morning with the perfect people, and I can’t wait for next week. All of the smiles and laughs continued on through the weekend and just made my weekend. It made my week and really has kicked off “my new year.” I decided prior to the weekend that I was going to have my own “restart” to 2012. It didn’t really get started the way I would have liked, so I decided I wanted to have my own little re-new year last night, so I could start fresh today. I think it is fitting that I had the weekend I did prior to today. The concept may seem silly, but if you have not had the year you intended on Dec. 31 at 11:59, I invite you to join in your own little re-new year with me. Make promises to yourself as I have. I am going to promise myself to take ownership of my year, to make it be

what I said it was going to be and not let anything stand in the way. In all reality, I am already on my way before my re-new year has even got here. I am realizing that life really is about living and not worrying. Life is about trusting that the big guy upstairs really does have everything under control. That he has a plan and even though it’s not the same plan you have, it’s better and in time, you will see it. I am getting back to my roots, I’m getting back to nature and I’m getting back to enjoying the things that make me smile, such as giving back, being with the people I love and making each moment count. On top of it all, I’m getting back to being the girl that not only everyone else loves, but most importantly the girl that I love. It’s going to be a pretty awesome year.

Al-Qaida in decline, but threats to U.S. multiply WASHINGTON (AP) — Al-Qaida is in decline around the world but is still a leading threat to the United States, joined by others like Iran, the top U.S. intelligence official said Tuesday in an annual report to Congress on threats facing America. Iran’s leaders seem prepared to attack U.S. interests overseas, particularly if they feel threatened by possible U.S. action, Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee. But Clapper, CIA chief David Petraeus and others reasserted their stance that Iran is not building nuclear weapons, in contrast to Israeli officials’ statements that Iran could have nuclear capability within a year. Petraeus said he met with the head of Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, last week to discuss Israel’s concerns, but he did not say whether Israel agreed with the U.S. assessment that Iran had not yet decided to

make a nuclear weapon. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said last week that Iran is proceeding toward nuclear weapons capability and time is “urgently running out.” Al-Qaida and Iran are part of a mosaic of interconnected enemies the U.S. faces, including terrorists, criminals and foreign powers, who may try to strike via nuclear weapons or cyberspace, Clapper and the others said. Al-Qaida still aspires to strike the U.S., but it will likely have to go for “smaller, simpler attacks” as its ranks are thinned by continued pressure from U.S. drone strikes and special operations raids since Osama bin Laden’s death at the hands of Navy SEALs in Pakistan last year, Clapper predicted. “When you take one two and three out in a single year,” that weakens the force, added Petraeus. The CIA chief pointed out that “four of the top 20 in a single

week were captured or killed,” last year, leaving the leadership struggling to replace itself. The intelligence chiefs predicted al-Qaida’s regional affiliates will try to pick up the slack for the beleaguered core group in Pakistan — from the Yemeni offshoot al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula to Somalia’s al-Shabaab. If they can’t reach the U.S. homeland, they’ll try to attack western targets in their geographic areas, they said, and the Yemeni branch of al-Qaida remains the most likely affiliate to try to attack the U.S. homeland. The U.S. continues to put pressure on the Yemeni offshoot, and on Monday mounted airstrikes targeting al-Qaida leaders there, killing at least four suspected militants, according to Yemeni and military officials. U.S. officials also said there’s been no decision on whether to trade five dan-

Clapper said the White House would first have to determine where they would be held, and how they would be watched after being released to make sure they did not return to militancy. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said the five men the

Taliban have named are considered too dangerous to release by U.S. counterterrorist authorities, but Petraeus said his agency had run several possible scenarios to figure out how best to free them. Just below al-Qaida on the list of threats comes the possibility of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, from chemical and biological, to nuclear and radiological.

The intelligence community does not believe states that possess them have supplied them to terror groups, but that remains a risk. Iran has the technical ability to build a nuclear weapon, Clapper said. If Iran moves to enrich uranium beyond the current level of 20 percent, to a weapons grade level, it would be a sign Iran had decided to move ahead, Petreaus added.

Major GOP ‘super PAC’ raised $51 million in 2011 WASHINGTON (AP) — American Crossroads, the Republican “super” political committee that plans to play a major role in this year’s presidential campaign, raised more than $51 million along with its nonprofit arm last year, The Associated Press has learned. figures from The Crossroads — the group backed by former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove — are among the first financial reports being made public Tuesday, the deadline for super PACs and presidential candidates to file financial reports with federal election officials. The Crossroads PAC alone has about $15.6 million cash on hand — a sizable figure as it prepares to hit the airwaves this year to help defeat President Barack Obama. The financial strength of Crossroads underscores the extraordinary impact super PACs could have on this year’s race for the White House. In GOP primaries so far, groups working for or against presidential candi-

dates have spent roughly $25 million on TV ads — about half the nearly $53 million spent on advertising so far to influence voters in the early weeks of the race. Crossroads’ financial reports, which the AP obtained ahead of the Federal Election identify Commission, wealthy donors who had given contributions reaching as high as seven figures by the end of 2011. Among the largest contributors is Dallas businessman Harold Simmons, who gave the group $5 million last November and whose holding company, Contran Corp., donated an additional $2 million. Simmons is a major donor to GOP and conservative causes who pumped as much as $4 million into the “swift boat” campaign that helped sink Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry in 2004. Simmons, an early supporter of Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s presidential run, also was a fundraising “bundler” putting dona-

tions together for Arizona Sen. John McCain. Other super PACs have already had a major effect this primary season. One group, for instance, effectively saved Newt Gingrich’s candidacy, while another tore into him in Florida and elsewhere. At the minimum, the groups’ spending is a precursor to the general election — when super PACs aligned with both Republicans and Obama plan to dole out even larger sums. These groups are the products of a 2010 Supreme Court ruling that removed restrictions on corporate and union spending in federal elections. The groups

can’t directly coordinate with the candidates they support, but many are staffed with former campaign workers who have an intimate knowledge of a favored candidate’s strategy. Since this summer, the groups have spent tens of millions on ads in key GOP primary states like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida. The PACs have also unleashed millions on expenses typically reserved for campaigns, including direct mailings, phone calls and get-out-the-vote efforts. Few groups are likely to be as influential as

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Your friend may not be thinking clearly due to his illness Dear Annie: My husband and I moved from Alaska to Hawaii a year ago to help a friend who is suffering with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). "John" promised to pay my husband $120 a day if he would leave his job and act as caregiver. My husband agreed, and he not only helps with all his physical therapy, but also takes him to all doctor and other appointments. We have taken care of his vacation rental business, repairs on his house, landscaping and general upkeep. We also have cooked all his meals for the past 10 months. Six weeks ago, John was in a hospital 50 miles away, and we visited almost daily to help with his physical therapy. On days when we couldn't be there, we sent others to keep him company. While he was in the hospital, John gifted us with $21,000 for a piece of land he sold. We've spent $2,000 of it on his bills, brakes for his car, medications, etc. Now that he is home, he says he was too generous and wants the money back. So far, we've returned $12,000. Annie, we have never been paid a dime for our services, including the daily $120 he promised my husband. John is angry and mean-spirited and rages against everyone. He accuses us of stealing and lying. My husband is a saint with the patience of Job. John doesn't have much longer to live. We will continue to help, but I believe this latest attempt to take back the money is a form of abuse. He has more than enough financial resources. What shall we do? — Gifted or Not Dear Gifted: You and your husband have been kind and generous. In the later stages of his disease, John may not only be depressed. He also may not be thinking clearly. Please forgive his rants, but protect yourself in case you are held liable for the remaining disputed money. Keep itemized lists of what you have spent the "gift" on, what you have paid for John's benefit out of your own pocket, and the amount he promised to pay your husband for his care. And talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. Dear Annie: I am in my early 60s, fairly attractive and happily married. My job requires me to travel and meet salespeople, and they are usually men. The agenda includes an occasional business lunch or dinner. My problem is that every once in a while, one of these men — invariably a short, older, heavyset, balding guy — thinks he is the most attractive man alive and that I can't resist his charms. After our business dinner, he will give me a call late at night and ask, "What are you wearing?" Even though I make it quite clear to these guys that I am married and not interested in them, what kind of idiotic, inappropriate question is that? It might work when you're paying for phone sex, but rest assured, the woman on the other end of that line is probably clipping her toenails. Please tell them this question will put an end to any potential relationship. — Amazed in Honolulu Dear Honolulu: We agree that this question is both inappropriate and idiotic to direct at someone you have just met at a business dinner. These guys must be desperate for female attention and clueless about how to get it. Dear Annie: I have another story about having the same name as someone's pet. My name is "Theresa," and while at a barbecue at a friend's house, I found out her dog has the same name. It was funny to watch both of us respond every time someone called "Theresa," with me saying, "Yes?" and the dog going, "Woof." We all laughed about it, and she was such a cute dog that it did not matter to me one bit. — Vermont Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

All hail the practically perfect potato! Dear Readers: How much do you really know about the popular vegetable the potato? A good source of vitamins B and C, potatoes are fat-free and high in fiber and potassium. They are not fattening — the toppings are what add the calories and fat. Some people think that you shouldn’t eat the skin or that all the nutrients are only found in the skin. Not so! More than half the nutrients are in the potato itself, and the skin contains one-half of the fiber. Whether you like them mashed, boiled, baked or as

Hints from Heloise Columnist fries, any potato will do. However, there are some that are a better choice, depending on what you are making. Waxy, white, red round and new potatoes are good for boiling, steaming and scalloping. Russets are good for baking, mashing or making

french fries. I took some microwaved yellow-fleshed potatoes to Heloise Central. We did tastetesting, and we all agreed — we love potatoes! — Heloise HANDY SHOPPING LIST Dear Heloise: I somehow have a way of losing my shopping lists. But I found a solution for me and thought others might benefit. Before leaving home, I take a picture of the list of things or places I need to go with my cellphone. Then at the stores (if the list is lost), all I have to do is look at the list on my phone. I

used to put it in my notes on the cellphone, but have found taking a picture is much easier. Then I just delete the picture. Also, to keep ice cream fresh, use plastic wrap and press it snugly onto the ice cream, then close the carton up. Stays good! Thanks for keeping Heloise going for all these years. — Kay from Arizona EGG HINT Dear Heloise: I use the round potato masher to chop up eggs finely for potato salad, tuna, etc. Works great! — Linda R., via email

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 A number of opportunities will be in the offing for you in the year ahead. However, if you fail to jump on them or waste too much time thinking things over, you could lose out. They won’t stick around very long. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be careful, because someone with whom you’ll be involved might not be operating by the rules. If this person thinks you’re an easy target, he or she might try to take you down. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — A failure to select companions who are equally as enthusiastic about life as you are could put too many restrictions on everything you attempt to do and limit your initiative. Choose your chums wisely. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you want to perform effectively, you’ll need to be systematic in all that you do. Unless you organize yourself and the job at hand, you won’t accomplish much in the way of anything. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you have a bad time, it won’t be because you’re not sociable, but because of the group with which you’re involved. Be more selective about your friends for a happier public presence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — When you utilize your friendliness and charm, situations in which you’ll be involved will turn out to be fun and successful. Conversely, letting your ego govern the day will cause you unhappiness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — As long as friends are in accord with your views and opinions, you’ll be amicable and fun to be with. Should anyone disagree with you, however, you’ll not be a happy companion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The disadvantages of a collective endeavor in which you’re involved will bring down the whole ship if you make them more important than the many positive facets of the project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — It might not be entirely the fault of others if you have problems dealing on a oneon-one basis with people. You should let your honesty instead of your vanity make the evaluation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Attend first thing, while you are fresh, to all the jobs and responsibilities that must get done. You won’t be as effective handling things when you’re tired. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Again you could find yourself in a similar social situation that you didn’t handle too well previously. If you insist upon repeating the same mistake, expect the same results. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you are extremely capable of holding your own when in testy circumstances, you might insist on seeing yourself as the underdog. If you do, it’ll be a no-win situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be on guard when participating in an activity that has competitive elements. Unfortunately, there’s a chance that you could go up against someone who can’t handle losing. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish Coast Guard boats, tug boats and a helicopter were searching for eight crew members after a Cambodia-flagged freighter ship sank in stormy waters off Turkey’s Black Sea coast on Tuesday, officials said. Three other crew members were rescued. The ship, Vera, was sailing to Turkey’s Aliaga port from Russia when it sank off the coast during a storm, regional Gov. Erol Ayyildiz said. He said police were also searching the shore for the missing crew. Ayyildiz said the ship’s second and third captains and its cook, a woman, were rescued and hospitalized. “There is hope that the eight (missing) will be rescued,” the state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Ayyildiz as saying. “They are used to the sea, they are experienced. Therefore, until we reach them, we are assuming that they are alive.” The Maritime Affairs Directorate said there were

10 Ukrainians and one Georgian crew member aboard the ship, which was carrying scrap metal. It said at least three tug boats had joined the Coast Guard search-and-rescue effort, while Ayyildiz said a helicopter had also been dispatched. “By the time the Coast Guard arrived in response to the distress call, the ship had already sunk,” Irfan Erdem, head of the Chamber of Commerce for the region, told Turkey’s NTV television. He said a storm likely caused the ship’s cargo to shift, tilting the vessel to the side and causing it to take on water. Much of Turkey has been affected by a cold snap that has hit parts of Europe, with stormy weather disrupting maritime traffic. The accident occurred some 10 days after another cargo ship brushed against two anchored vessels during severe weather off the coast of Istanbul, taking on water for hours before authorities pulled it ashore using a tug boat.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Actor Sean Penn has been named ambassador at large for Haiti in recognition of his humanitarian work since the 2010 earthquake. The Hollywood star received the honor from Haitiian President Michel Martelly at a special ceremony Tuesday evening at the National Palace. Martelly thanked Penn for keeping the spotlight

on the Caribbean nation. The president joked that the “only downside” to Penn’s new position is that he can no longer call the actor by his first name. Now Penn will be called “Ambassador.” Penn’s J/P Haitian Relief Organization was set up a few months after the Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake to oversee a settlement camp where thousands of people displaced by the disaster lived.

CAUTION

2252350

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

NOTICE OF TROY CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING ON REVISION TO GENERAL PLAN OF THE STONEBRIDGE MEADOWS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT On Monday, March 5, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, City Hall (100 S. Market Street) the Troy City Council will hold a public hearing on a proposed revision to the general plan portion of the Stonebridge Meadows Planned Development. Stonebridge Meadows consists of an area of approximately 63 acres generally located south of SR 718 and East of Wilson Road. The owner is Summerfield Land Company, with applicant Judy Tomb. The proposed revision to the general plan would: decrease the development by one lot (lower the housing density and increase the size of the lots); add two phases to the building process (extend the build-out life of the development from 7-10 years to 10-14 years); and revise the open space from 12.3 acres to 7.7 acres (paying a fee-in-lieu of parkland rather than constructing a private park, and revising the open space and recreational areas (landscaping, greenspace and stormwater management) but still exceeding the open space and recreational requirements for the development.

Sealed Bids for the Hufford Road Improvements, Phase II will be received by the Elizabeth Township Trustees at the Township Building, 5710 E. Walnut Grove Road, Troy, OH 45373, until Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 7:30 p.m., at which time they will be publicly opened and read.

The Bidding Documents which include drawings and specifications may be examined and obtained at the office of Choice One Engineering Corporation, 440 E. Hoewisher Road, Sidney, OH 45365. Cost for the Bidding Documents is $125.00 and is non-refundable. Bids must be signed and submitted on the separate bidding forms included in the Bidding Documents, sealed in a properly identified envelope, and shall be accompanied by either a Bid Guaranty Bond in the amount of 100% of the Bid amount or by a certified check, cashier’s check, or letter of credit on a solvent bank in the amount of not less than 10% of the amount of the Bid, subject to conditions provided in the Instructions to Bidders.

Something to prove Williams, Fairborn to Troy, 81-58 BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Troy coach Tim Miller knew what his Trojans would face at Fairborn. A team with something to prove after a headline — grabbing brawl Friday night that saw seven of its players suspended — a fact that caused the cancellation of Tuesday’s JV game due to the varsity needing to pull up players to fill its roster. “If anything, I thought they would play extremely inspired basketball,” Miller said. “All the talk may have been of suspensions, but they still had all of the key components left on the floor OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA PHOTO/JON RUDY that they need to be successful.

Eagles win 19th consecutive in MBC Staff Reports PITSBURG — Franklin Monroe held a lead on Miami East at the end one quarter on Tuesday. But A.J. Hickman’s huge second quarter sparked the Vikings to a 23-20 halftime lead, and the Vikings took control in the second half, outscoring the Jets 3722 to come away with a 60-42 victory in Cross County Conference play.

MIAMI COUNTY “It was just a good team win on the road,” Miami East coach Allen Mack said. “They came in with a 5-2 record in conference, so we knew it was going to be a challenge. But the kids just responded. “We played very, very well in the third and the fourth quarters to open up the game. That may have been our best half of basketball.” Hickman scored 10 out of his 14 points in the second to lead the Vikings on offense. Gunner Shirk was 4 for 4 from 3-point range for 12 points, while Garrett Mitchell added 13 points — six of

Miami East’s Angie Mack looks to get rid of the ball as Tippecanoe’s Halee Printz closes in from behind Monday night at Miami East High School.

Hanging around Vikings battle back, edge Red Devils in double OT BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com The Tippecanoe Red Devils held the Miami East Vikings at bay for most of the game Monday in Casstown, taking a solid 58-51 lead after Halee Printz found Ellise Sharpe on a backdoor cut midway through the fourth quarter. But bad things can CASSTOWN happen when you let good teams hang around — which is exactly what Miami East did all game. And the Vikings responded with a 7-0 run to close out regulation, capped off by Angie Mack’s 3-pointer to tie the game at 58-58 — a shot that sent the game to overtime. Even that wasn’t good enough to decide the battle between area rival heavyweights, but Miami East finally took the edge for good in the second overtime to grab a 69-65 victory. “Angie Mack, what can you say?,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “She hits another big 3 for us on the close-out with a hand in her face. That was just awesome.” The first overtime went by with only two points scored by each team, as Sharpe hit a pair of free

Troy girls seal share of title Staff Reports The Troy girls clinched a share of the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division title by downing Trotwood 2,062-1,408 at Timber Lanes on Monday, while the Trojan boys team won by forfeit as the Rams did not field enough bowlers to constitute a legal lineup.

If we can get you in a half-court offense, we are better at that. “But I will say, our offensive discipline was better than their defensive discipline. I thought they gambled at times, and we were able to take advantage of that.” The Red Devils had a double-digit lead two times in the game, with the last time being when it was 4838 early in the fourth quarter. Sharpe, Printz and Erica Comer combined to score 53 points for the game, with Sharpe finishing with a game-high 24 points. “She’s (Sharpe) a tremendous player,” Elifritz said. “She’s one of the quickest players we’ll see. They have a lot of girls that can play. They are quick and very athletic, and we knew that coming in.” On the flip side, along

with Trina Current, East had two others reach double-figures in Madison Linn (14 points) and Mack (10). Kindell scored nine and Ashley Current also added eight points and seven rebounds. Abby Cash also chipped in a rare form of double-double with 10 assists and 10 rebounds for the Vikings. Overall, Miami East outrebounded Tippecanoe 4018. Elifritz said the win against Tippecanoe in his four years as Vikings head coach. “This rivalry (Tipp-East) goes back to the SRC (Southwestern Rivers Conference), back to when I played,” Elifritz said. “We were always big league rivals, and we had some big league battles. This one has deeper roots.” The Red Devils drop to 10-7 on the year, but Tipp remains tied for the Central

AG requests out of county jury for Sandusky trial HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Prosecutors in the Jerry Sandusky child sexabuse case asked Tuesday to have jurors brought in from another Pennsylvania county, a day after disclosing in court records they would tell the former Penn State assistant coach the names of his 10 alleged victims. The attorney general’s office argued in a court motion that pretrial publicity and Penn State’s promi-

nent role in its local community mean Sandusky’s criminal trial warrant the use of jurors from outside the State College area. Sandusky’s lawyer said he would fight the proposal. In the other court filing, made late Monday, prosecutors said the alleged victims’ names will be delivered to Sandusky’s lawyer by the close of business Friday, a process that would apparently avoid disclosure through public court records.

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 throws for Tippecanoe and Mack hit two for Miami East. Tied at 60-60 at the start of the second overtime, Trina Current scored a layup to give the Vikings their second lead of the game — with their first being when it was 4-2 early in the game. Trina Current fouled out moments later, ending the game with 10 field goals while going 3 for 3 at the stripe to total 23 points. She also added 10 rebounds. Printz rattled off the next four out of five Tippecanoe points before eventually knotting the game at 65-65, making a great steal and going in for a layup. But East’s Emily Kindell split a pair at the line to put East up 66-65, and that was the last point East needed as it held on from there. The Vikings went 7 for 10 from the foul line in the overtime, while Tipp missed its chances at the stripe, going just 5 for 9 during OT. “It comes down to mental toughness in a game like this,” Elifritz said. “We’ve been down before, and our kids are just mentally tough. I thought our girls just stayed strong. Tipp would go on 4-0 run, and we would answer right back. “So we thought if we could keep it there at a safe distance, then we may be able to get over the hump.” Tippecanoe, a fast-paced team that likes to get upand-down the floor, dictated the flow of the game with its defensive pressure, forcing the Vikings — a post-oriented team that prefers to work out of half-court sets — to 16 turnovers in the first three quarters. As a result, the Red Devils had a 44-38 lead heading into the fourth. “Traditionally, we don’t do well when teams get us out of our gameplan,” Elifritz said. “Their pressure

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 purpose.” Troy (10-6) looked strong early on, jumping out to a 9-2 edge and holding a lead as large as eight as late as 27-19 in the second quarter. Zach Martinez and Tyler Miller each scored 10 in the first half to pace the Trojans, Martinez on the drive and Miller finishing in transition after defensive stops. “We were coming off a big win Saturday night against rival Trotwood. Who knows what goes on the rest of the weekend?” Miller said. “Maybe all that talk of suspensions led us to believe we’d come in here and it’d be a walk in the park. We just didn’t step up to the challenge tonight.” Fairborn was able to edge closer thanks to 3s by Michael and Aaron Doster and the ability of Williams to turn every Troy miss into a fast break. A Cody May 3 put Troy up 32-30, but two Williams free throws tied it at 32-32 at the half. “We could easily have folded when we got down big early,” Chivington said. “But we kept it close, got the momentum – and it just never left us.” But once the Troy defense stopped getting stops on one end, the Trojans couldn’t do anything on the other. A May layup made the score 39-38 Fairborn early in the third, but it was the last shot the Trojans hit from the field in the quarter. Michael hit a pull-up 3 from five feet behind the line to kick off the 15-1 run, a run that also included another 3 by Doster and two three-point plays in transition by Williams. “We couldn’t stop

Three Eagles hit double-figures, as freshman Grant Zawadzki led the charge with a career-high 22 points, while also adding eight assists. Christian Salazar and Nathan Kirkpatrick each added 11, Logan George netted a career-high eight, as well. “It was a very nice defensive effort by everybody,” Troy Christian coach Ray Zawadzki said. “The ball movement was exceptional. If we can continue to play like this for 30 minutes every night, we will be hard to beat.” The Eagles (12-3) play Lehman on Friday. Bethel 45, Newton 31 BRANDT — Bethel

wore down Newton on Tuesday, holding off the Indians for a 45-31 victory in Cross County Conference play. “It was one of those games where we would a good lead, then we would miss some shots for stretches, and that allowed them to get back in the game.” Kyle Hamlin led the Bees with 12, while Patrick Bain and Joe Zimmerman both added nine.

That gave us some distance. So it was a good win.” The Bulldogs (7-9) play at Waynesville Thursday. • Monday Troy Christian 47, Xenia Christian 36 XENIA — Xenia Christian hung with Troy Christian for two quarters, but then the Eagles took control, outscoring the Ambassadors 26-16 in the second half and holding on for a 47-36 win Monday.

Ochocinco demure in Super Bowl spotlight INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Chad Ochocinco was the last Patriot to walk across the field and wade into the pack of reporters and photographers waiting near the sideline. He felt no need to rush the moment he’d longed for nearly his whole life. This was his Super Bowl media day. Ochocinco finally got to be on the receiving end of questions Tuesday at Lucas Oil Stadium for an annual event that he attended several times as a microphone-toting correspondent for his social media Ochocinco News Network. Now, the microphones were aimed at him.

“Aw, man, I’ve dreamed of it,” Ochocinco said, wearing his blue No. 85 jersey, blue Super Bowl cap and irrepressible smile. “I’ve been playing this game a long time started out at 4 years old. And this is what you dream of, to come to this stage and enjoy it. So that’s what I’m going to do.” And he’s doing it the New England way. Instead of driving the conversation by talking about himself, Ochocinco was along for the ride. He didn’t seem to mind that he didn’t get one of the 14 podiums set up on the field for coach Bill Belichick and players. Instead, he stood at the

promoting ways would have to end. If he lapsed back into look-at-me, he’d be looking at the end of his stay in New England. So, he did away with his lists of cornerbacks who couldn’t cover him, his touchdown skits and victory guarantees. Ochocinco, who legally changed his name from Johnson to get more attention, would have to drop the “diva” from his job description. “I could have talked,” he said, ‘but then I’d be sitting at home today. “I think I’ve had a great career in general. The year wasn’t what I expected, what everyone else expected. But I did everything I was supposed to do work,

stay quiet. I don’t know if being on this stage is a reward, but there’s nothing else I can do. I’m part of a team and I’ve done everything asked of me.” Especially the “stay quiet” part, which went against his nature. He repeatedly bumped egos in Cincinnati with coach Marvin Lewis, who referred to him once as “Ocho Psycho.” Ochocinco miffed teammates with his attention-gathering antics and his sloppy pass routes and got under the skin of opponents by sending them Pepto-Bismol and other gifts. The league repeatedly fined him for his on-field celebrations and refusal to follow its uniform code.

Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving (2) passes out under pressure from Boston Celtics' Mickael Pietrus (28) in the first half Tuesday in Cleveland.

Cavs fall to Celtics, 93-90 CLEVELAND (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 20 points, Ray Allen had 12 in the third quarter and the Boston Celtics avenged a disappointing loss to Cleveland two days earlier by barely holding off the Cavaliers 93-90 on Tuesday night. The Celtics, who blew an 11-point lead at home Sunday in the final four minutes and lost by one, led by 22 late in the third quarter. However, the Cavs rallied again behind rookie Kyrie Irving and got within two on his twisting layup with 1:18 left. But Kevin Garnett dropped in a short jumper that bounced high off the rim and Pierce made two free throws with 2.6 seconds left as the Celtics avoided further embarrassment.

Irving scored 21 points and Anderson Varejao added 20 and a careerhigh 20 rebounds for Cleveland. The Celtics were again without All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo, whose injured right wrist kept him out of his seventh straight game. The Celtics improved to 5-2 without him. It wasn’t easy. Allen went scoreless in the first half, but helped orchestrate Boston’s Rondo-less offense with five assists. However, after halftime, the NBA’s career leader in 3-pointers got himself going. Allen scored six points in the opening three minutes and then hit two straight 3-pointers, the second one an apparent dagger that put the Celtics ahead 75-53.

■ Major League Baseball

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians have added an MVP to their roster, and a possible replacement at first base. Cleveland acquired versatile Russ Canzler, the top player in the International League last season, on Tuesday from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash. The 25-year-old Canzler played four positions right and left field, third and first base last season for Triple-A Durham, where he batted .314 with 18 homers and 83 RBIs in 131 games for the Bulls. Canzler made his major league debut for the Rays on Sept. 11 and had one hit in three games. He was expected to be on Tampa Bay’s roster this season, however, the club resigned first baseman Carlos Pena and free agent infielder Jeff Keppinger, making Canzler the odd man out. The Rays designated him for assignment last week after signing Keppinger. Canzler led the

International League in doubles (40) and slugging percentage (.530), finished second in runs (78) and third in hits (149). He appeared in 41 games in right field, 33 in left, 40 at third base and 17 at first. He could be an answer at first for the Indians, who have been deeply disappointed in Matt LaPorta. The two may compete for the starting job at first this spring, and Canzler’s versatility could help him win a utility spot with Cleveland. The Indians have struck out so far in trying to add a powerful bat to their lineup this winter. Prince Fielder was out of their price range, Carlos Beltran signed with St. Louis after the Cardinals lost Albert Pujols and Pena reportedly turned down a one-year offer from the Indians. Cleveland may still have interest in free agent Casey Kotchman, who batted a career-best .306 in 146 games for the Rays in 2011.
