TROY — A light agenda made for a quick Troy City Council meeting on Monday.

City council adopted the resolution in connection to the 2014 Public Defender agreement for $20,341.13. The salary has not increased since 2009.

City council also approved an intergovernmental agreement between Troy, Dayton and Middletown regarding lime sludge residual

removal and supply of high quality pebble lime from the city of Dayton.

The lime is sued to meet the water softening process . According to officials, Troy has been in a pilot program before the agreement was signed.

According to the committee report, the cost to Troy will be less than the combined cost of purchasing lime from a vendor and paying a contractor to clean the lime sludge lagoons. The cost for the first year is not to exceed $300,000 and will be adjusted in subse-

quent years based on the terms of the agreement.

The council passed the resolution as an emergency issue. According to the agreement tables, Troy is to have 1,460 tons of pebble lime purchased and delivered from the city of Dayton. Estimated amounts of dry sludge is a minimum of 3,600 tons and maximum of 5,000 tons from Troy that the city of Dayton is to be removed, according to the contract.The estimated annual savings to Troy is approximately $80,000.

Troy schools pass capital improvement levy Melanie Yingst

Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Once again, Troy City Schools passed its five-year, 1.1mills capital improvement levy on Tuesday with 2,585 votes in favor of the renewal. The levy also had 1,381 votes against the renewal of the issue. All results are unofficial and do not include paper ballots as of press time.

Troy City Schools’ Board of Education President Doug Trostle waited for results at the Miami County Courthouse, along side school administrators.

“We appreciate the continued support of the community,” Trostle said Tuesday. “It’s a testament of our teachers and staff.”

With more than nine buildings and 87 acres to maintain, the Troy City School District will use the funds to maintain its property. The capital improvement levy raises approximately $685,000 per year for the district. The capital improvement levy funding can only be used for maintenance and capital projects from roofs, painting, parking lot upgrades and any purchase that has a shelf life of more than five years.

Troy arsonist headed to prison A convicted arsonist was sentenced to an 18-year prison sentence Tuesday for a May 22 apartment fire at 32 Foss Way in Troy that did more than just destroy an apartment building — it ruined several lives, too.

Michael D. LeGrant, 26, of Troy, sat motionless and stared ahead at his sentencing hearing as occupants of that apartment fire spoke in common pleas court or had victim impact statements read on their behalf.

“I look forward to working with the other trustees, fiscal officer Pat Quillen and the township staff and serving the people of Concord Township,” Pence said.

Tom Mercer earned 2,503 votes to continue to serve as trustee for a second four-year term.

TROY — The Troy-Miami County Public Library levy passed unofficially Tuesday when all the votes were finally tallied at around 10:20 p.m.

Tuesday night.

The 6-mill renewal levy — which received roughly 65 percent of the votes for the levy when it was last on the ballot in 2009 — had 4,903 votes for and 1,925 people against.

“I’m very appreciative for the people in our community that have continued to be supportive of our library,” TroyMiami County Public Library Director Rachelle Miller said. “I’m ecstatic! It’s not just the levy — the community has always, always supported us. I’m extremely happy that people went out and voted and showed us support. I’m also extremely happy with the ongoing support from the community.”

Miller said the passing of the levy will go towards operating expenses and capitol projects.

“We’ll be looking at replacing the chillers,” Miller said. “They are quite old, so I anticipate we will be replacing those over the next few years. We will also be looking at getting a new membrane roof. Both of those projects will be quite expensive. We’ll finally be able to do it now.”

Gay rights bill moves forward, opposition silent WASHINGTON (AP) — Invoking the Declaration of Independence, proponents of a bill that would outlaw discrimination against gays in the workplace argued on Tuesday that the measure is rooted in fundamental fairness for all Americans.

Republican opponents of the measure were largely silent, neither addressing the issue on the second day of Senate debate nor commenting unless asked.

Written statements from some rendered their judgment that the bill would result in costly, frivolous lawsuits and mandate federal law based on sexuality.

The Senate moved closer to completing its work on the Employment Non-

Discrimination Act that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said a final vote in the Senate is possible by week’s end.

Senate passage of the bill would represent a major victory for advocates of gay rights just months after the Supreme Court affirmed gay marriage and granted federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples and three years after Congress ended the ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Illinois was poised to become the 15th state to legalize gay marriage after the state’s Legislature gave its final

beyond core older voters, tries to be more inclusive. Republicans struggled to win over young people and independents in the 2012 presidential election.

Asked why he opposed the bill, Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said the measure is “somewhat pandering to the special groups that I think should not have to be singled out by themselves. I think they’re normal citizens like everybody else.”

A bipartisan group of senators pressed ahead with the legislation, casting it as a clear sign of Americans’ greater acceptance of homosexuality that has significantly changed the political dynamic.

approval Tuesday, sending it to the governor, who has said he’ll sign it.

“I don’t believe in discriminating against anybody,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, a backer of the measure who voted against a similar, narrower bill 17 years ago. Hatch said the bill has language ensuring religious freedom that he expects the Senate to toughen.

The measure, however, faces strong opposition in the Republican-controlled House, where Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, maintains that it is unnecessary and could prove too expensive and litigious for businesses.

Resistance remains within GOP ranks even as the national party, looking

“despicable act.”

“The havoc he left in the wake (of the fire) is unspeakable,” he said.

On May 22 LeGrant intentionally set the apartment building on fire and the blaze was directed toward one resident who lived at the building, authorities said.

Judge Christopher Gee handed down the prison sentence and said LeGrant “caused physical, emotional and economical harm” to the fire victims. Restitution was set at more than $400,000.

As a result of the fire three people were forced to jump from second-story windows.

Four others had to be rescued by the fire department.

LeGrant was sentenced to a one year term in prison last month for an unrelated domestic violence conviction, and that sentence will run consecutive to the arson prison sentences.

Once released, he will serve five years on postrelease control and will be required to register as an arson offender.

Last month the remains of the apartment building caught on fire again after a blaze began in the building’s basement. At the time the building was being prepped for demolition by the owner.

PERSPECTIVE

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP McCook Daily Gazette. Nov. 1, 2013.

Big Brother is on the job It took almost 30 years beyond 1984, but Big Brother is on the job.

Revelations about NSA spying on U.S. citizens and foreign leaders, drone attacks and the Obamacare debacle haven’t done much to cultivate trust in our government.

And it’s not just in Washington.

The owner of Duffy’s Tavern in Lincoln (Neb.) isn’t happy with Big Brother keeping an eye on his establishment, in the form of a couple of new security cameras, purchased for about $5,100, focused on 14th and O and monitored by the Lincoln Police Department.

There’s good reason to have the cameras; 110 assaults reported in that area in 2012 and 103 so far this year.

Duffy’s owner Scott Hatfield thinks the cameras are bad PR: “I’m concerned about the idea that people can’t come downtown to 14th and O and not be left alone by Big Brother,” he said at a meeting of the mayor’s Citizen Police Advisory Board.

As reported by the Lincoln Journal, board member S.A. Mora James suggested the cameras might be more useful in residential areas with high crime rates.

“If I want to go down to 14th and O, that is my business. And unless I call you, I don’t need you to be there,” she said.

Police Chief Jim Pechong said he was disappointed the Duffy’s owner didn’t want “to make sure people that are down there are not victims of a crime.”

The advisory board didn’t make a recommendation, and instead forwarded the meeting minutes to the mayor.

Surveillance cameras aren’t confined to big cities, of course.

Truth be told, any time we’re out in public, let alone in a large store, we’re probably in range of someone’s security camera.

Millions of them have been purchased and installed in the years since 9/11, and the Boston Marathon bombing illustrated just how ubiquitous, and helpful to investigators, security cameras are.

The issue came up locally in discussion about a skate park, with the suggestion that the city consider installation of security cameras if and when one is built.

It’s tempting to install more video cameras in hotspots, a few at busy intersections around McCook could help with accident investigations as well as crime.

People with nothing to hide have nothing to fear from being watched, or so the argument goes.

But the simple fact that someone is quietly gathering information about our personal activities is a reasonable cause for concern.

Argus Leader, Sioux Falls, Oct. 26, 2013 Small cities deserve good officers: State should assist with background checks, training, possibly even pay Every person wants to feel safe in his or her home — whether that home is in Ipswich, Wall or Sioux Falls.

Having a competent, well-trained police presence in town is vital to the security and well-being of South Dakotans.

Sadly, in some cases, the people entrusted with overseeing the security of a town or rural area betray that trust. Some are criminal opportunists; others misuse the power of the office for their own gain, and some are just woefully unprepared for the task.

Across this state, from Belle Fourche to Brandon, community officials struggle to find and retain quality law enforcement officers. Complicating that effort are geographic concerns, low pay scales and potentially dangerous working conditions with a lack of backup for volatile situations.

As South Dakotans, we should care about the qualifications and performance of the police officers in our state, wherever they are.

During the past decade, 31 of the 49 officers who lost their certification as police officers were working in departments of 10 or fewer employees. Some were police chiefs or the only law enforcement officer in a particular town.

That is unacceptable, and our state leaders should get involved to find ways to assist smaller communities in hiring and retaining police officers.

LETTERS To the Editor: We would like to know how the person is feeling that hit and killed our 7 year 5 month and 26 days old cat named Punky on Sayers Road in Troy on Oct. 8, 2013, around 5:30 p.m.

You didn’t even stop. We would feel better if we knew what happened.

The only consolation is the vet said he died instantly.

We hope you can live with this because it is hurting us. He was more than a cat to us. He was our buddy and companion. Words cannot express our feelings for him.

The health care speech Obama didn’t give Troy Troy

It’s now a matter of bipartisan consensus that President Barack Obama should have been more honest and forthright in selling his health-care plan. Here is the transcript of the speech he never gave: Hello, St. Paul! It is so good to be back in the great state of Minnesota. Go Gophers! (We love you!) I love you back! (Stomping, cheers.)

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been talking about health-care reform a little lately. (Laughter.) I want to set the record straight on a few things today.

Republicans are out there scaring folks, and saying that they’ll lose their insurance. (Boos, jeers.)

No, no — hey, just because they don’t care about people doesn’t mean they are wrong about everything. (Laughter, applause.) And they’re right about this. Some folks are going to lose their insurance. Millions of them, in fact.

Let me be clear: Just because you have insurance you like, doesn’t mean you can keep it. If it doesn’t meet the new federal standards, your plan is going to

You don’t Some of my political advisers believe in a free lunch, do you? say, “Hey, you can’t go out and tell (Confused murmurs.) people that, Obama.

They say that the bill has a more than you did before. Maybe grandfather clause. Wait until you double. Because all of these new see the regulations we write on

Now, I can hear some of you right now saying that universal coverage is worth it. (Yeah.) But let’s be careful about that. The respected Congressional Budget Office says under my plan tens of millions of people will still be uninsured in 2020.

So that’s why I wanted to come here today, St. Paul. I wanted to tell you the hard truths. I know you can handle them. (Isolated clapping.) I know you will still support my plan, which, admittedly, is a little complicated. But we put a man on the moon! There’s no way we’re going to mess up a health-care law. Not on my watch.

Thank you, St. Paul.

AP Photo In this Nov. 28, 2006, file photo, renowned chef Charlie Trotter talks about his plans to open a new restaurant in Chicago. Chicago and Cook County officials said Tuesday that Trotter has died. Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford says rescue crews were called around 10 a.m. Tuesday to the Lincoln Park home of the award-winning chef, where they found Trotter unresponsive.

Charlie Trotter redefined fine dining, dies at 54 CHICAGO (AP) — With a culinary style he likened to improvisational jazz, Charlie Trotter changed the way Americans view fine dining, pushing himself, his staff, his food and even his diners to limits rarely seen in an American restaurant. Yet it was his reluctance to move beyond those limits that may have defined the last years of his life.

Trotter, 54, died Tuesday, a year after closing his namesake Chicago restaurant that was credited with putting his city at the vanguard of the food world and training dozens of the nation’s top chefs, including Grant Achatz and Graham Elliot.

Paramedics were called around 10 a.m. to Trotter’s Lincoln Park home, where they found him unresponsive. An ambulance crew transported Trotter to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where

he was declared dead after unsuccessful attempts to revive him, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said. An autopsy was planned for Wednesday.

His wife, Rochelle Trotter, on Tuesday expressed the family’s shock at his death and appreciation for the many tributes pouring in from all quarters.

“He was much loved and words cannot describe how much he will be missed,” she said in a statement. “…

His impact upon American Cuisine and the culinary world at large will always be remembered.”

For decades, Trotter’s name was synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine.

He earned 10 James Beard Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and in 1999 hosted his own public television series, “The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter.”

TIPP CITY — By next summer, residents will no longer be charged for leaf pick-up. City council voted Monday to eliminate the 64 cent leaf collection fee.

By July, when the fee elimination takes effect, the fee will have raised approximately $150,000, or enough for a new leaf machine.

Leaf removal services were eliminated in February 2009 as part of the city’s efforts to cut spending. It was reinstated in August of that year with a $0.64 monthly fee.

The original intent of the collection fee was to generate enough money for equipment and personnel costs. The $150,000 that will have been raised by July will purchase a new leaf collection machine.

The income tax levy passes in 2011 for capital improvements will generate enough funds through 2021 to pay for any future leaf collection costs, city manager Jon Crusey said.

Changes on Dow Now that Streetscape is over and the downtown is returning to normal, city council has agreed to make Dow Street a twoway street once again.

Council made the decision to make Dow Street one-way earlier this year in order to create more parking during construction. Now that the construction is over, most residents who were surveyed said they would like the street to be two-way once more.

Several downtown business owners said they preferred the one-way arrangement, since it provided more parking for shoppers. But based on feedback from residents and concerns that the city’s ladder truck might not be able to fit down the street if cars are parked on both sides, council decided not to keep Dow Street one way.

Budget options Council followed up on the recent operating budget review meeting, discussing a few items during the pre-meeting study session.

The Parks Department will be getting a maintenance specialist. Funding for this new position will come from the parks budget (50 percent), the street fund (25 percent) and the municipal road fund (25 percent).

Every other tree on Main Street will be lit, Crusey said, which is about 20 trees. Each tree requires about 150 lights, which costs about $60 per tree. The trees should be lit by next week. The remaining trees may be lit before Christmas, Crusey said, depending on how much time and manpower the city can spare.

Council also discussed the annual fireworks display and agreed to identify a list of businesses to solicit potential sponsorships. The total cost of 2013’s fireworks display was $15,450, with the city contributing $9,270 and the Township contributing $6,180.

The city is also looking at options for EMS billing and a possible merger between the EMS and fire departments. The city is seeking grant assistance to conduct a study of both departments to see how a merger could benefit the

city.

In a memo to council, councilman Joe Gibson suggested that the city could save money by handling EMS billing in house. After speaking to other members of the Ohio City Manager’s Association, Crusey said that four of the 29 communities he surveyed handle EMS billing themselves.

In response to Gibson’s memo, Crusey said that there is not sufficient manpower or expertise to handle EMS billing in house and the cost of hiring an employee to handle it could outweigh any potential savings.

Council also voted on two contracts Monday night, one with the Miami County Public Defender Commission and the other with Dayton Pool Management.

Council approved a one-year contract extension with Dayton Pool Management for the 2014 season. After this summer’s poor pool season, with record lows for attendance and the biggest subsidy to date, council agreed to shorten the 2014 season from 84 to 77 days.

The contract price for next summer’s 77 day season is $293,549. The price for the 84-day 2013 season was $314,549.

Rainy and cool weather kept the pool closed for a total of 16 days. The center received a subsidy of $92,077 this season, the highest subsidy since the pool opened.

Council also approved a one year $4,068 contract with the Miami County Public Defender Commission. This contract fulfills the city’s obligation to provide legal services to residents who cannot afford it.

Council also voted formalize an agreement with Miami County for winter road maintenance on streets that, due to location or annexation, are more convenient for the other party to maintain.

The county will perform winter maintenance on County Road 25-A from Kessler Cowlesville north, Tipp Canal Road from Kyle Park south, Tipp Cowlesville from Shoop south, all of Peters Road and Kessler Cowlesville Road west of Peters Road.

The city will maintain County Road 25-A from Kessler Cowlesville to Evanston Road, Evanston Road east of County Road 25-A, Crane Road from Tipp Cowlesville south, as well as other sections of Tipp Cowlesville Road.

Council also improved two licenses for “encroachment” for downtown businesses. Now that the streetscape project is complete, Cairns Toys and Hapinstance Designs can now replace the awning that were on the front of their businesses.

Because these awnings extend over the sidewalk, or right-of-way, the businesses were required to get licenses for encroachment.

Election roundup Voters choose sides on host of candidates, initiatives Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie cruised to re-election Tuesday night — and pushed for a large margin of victory — amid talk of a 2016 presidential run. Democrats battled for a sweep of top offices in Virginia that would put Terry McAuliffe in the governor’s mansion.

New Yorkers chose Bill de Blasio as mayor, electing the first Democrat since 1989.

In other, widely scattered off-year balloting, Colorado was setting a tax rate for marijuana, Houston was deciding the fate of the Astrodome and Alabama Republicans were choosing between two of their own — from different wings of the party — in a special congressional runoff election in a conservative state.

Across the country, voters also were choosing sides in a host of local elections and ballot initiatives.

Turnout was expected to be relatively light — even in the most hard-fought races — given that it was not a presidential or congressional election year, and voters were primarily hard-core partisans.

Not on the ballot, President Barack Obama took a pass on wagering any guess on outcomes, saying: “Never predict elections. That’s a losing proposition.”

Taken together, the results in individual states and cities were expected to yield no broad judgments on how the American public feels about today’s two biggest national political debates — government spending and health care — which are more likely to shape next fall’s midterm elections.

Even so, Tuesday’s voting had local impact, and it mattered in ways big and small.

In Virginia, Democrats pushed to control all major statewide offices for the first time since 1970, a rejec-

tion of the conservatism that has dominated for the past four years. But Republicans were expected to hold the Legislature.

The state’s two U.S. senators already are Democrats, and McAuliffe was favored to win the governorship, a one-term limited office, four years after voters elected conservative Republican Bob McDonnell. Both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton made appearances for McAuliffe in the final weeks, and so did Obama over the weekend.

Republican state Attorney General Ken Cuccinnelli was hoping for a lategame rally that would prove that a tea party-backed conservative could win the governorship of a swing-voting state. He brought big-name supporters to the state, too, including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal — all potential presidential contenders.

After being competitive for months, the race turned McAuliffe’s way last month partly because of the partial government shutdown; the Democrat effectively used it to link Cuccinnelli to House Republicans in Washington and the tea party. Preliminary results of an exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks found that about a third of Virginia voters said they were personally impacted by the shutdown, and nearly half said Republicans deserved the blame for it.

Democrats also were expected to win the lieutenant governorship, and had a strong shot at the attorney general’s office. They also could break through Republicans’ veto-proof majority in the state House, and all that could set the stage of a presidential battleground ahead of the next White House race.

In New Jersey, Republican Gov. Christie scored a resounding victory

intended to send a message to the GOP that a Republican with an inclusive pitch could win in Democratic territory.

In that sense, his win had implications for the 2016 presidential race.

His victory showed his ability to draw support from Democrats, independents and minorities. Much like George W. Bush did in his re-election race as governor in Texas in 1998, Christie now may have fodder to argue that that he is the most electable in what might well be a crowded presidential primary field.

Later this month, Christie assumes the chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association, giving him another platform for a possible national campaign.

Christie’s victory makes him the only Republican governor considering the presidency and serving with a Democratic Legislature. He was opposed for re-election by state Sen. Barbara Buono.

Later this month, Christie assumes the chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association, giving him another platform for a possible national campaign.

A Christie victory would make him the only Republican governor considering the presidency and serving with a Democratic Legislature, and he could use that to argue for pragmatism over ideology as a divided GOP seeks a path forward. He was opposed for re-election by state Sen. Barbara Buono.

Preliminary results of an exit poll in New Jersey suggest about that about half of New Jersey voters think Christie would make a good president, yet he would lag behind Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical 2016 matchup.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, the party’s internal squabbles played out in the special congressional runoff primary

election in Alabama. It featured veteran politician Bradley Byrne, the choice of the GOP establishment, against tea party favorite Dean Young.

The race was the first test of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s promise to try to influence primaries. The group has pumped at least $200,000 into supporting Byrne, who has almost two decades in politics. Young argues that the Chamber endorsement is evidence that Byrne is the choice of big Washington interests.

Other races to watch: —Big city mayors: In New York, de Blasio cruised to victory over Republican Joe Lhota after Michael Bloomberg’s dozen-year tenure. Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle and other cities also chose mayors.

—Washington state: Voters weighed in on a ballot issue over mandatory labeling of genetically modified food, a contest that has drawn hefty financial contributions in opposition from the likes of PepsiCo. (NYSE:PEP) , Monsanto (NYSE:MON) and General Mills (NYSE:GIS) , which last year spent $46 million to defeat a similar measure in California.

—Colorado: Colorado voters determined whether to tax marijuana at 25 percent and apply the proceeds to regulating the newly legalized drug and building schools. Voters in 11 rural counties were asked if they wanted to approve secession from the state. One county was talking about joining Wyoming. ___ Associated Press writers Bill Barrow and Christina Almeida Cassidy in Georgia, Kristen Wyatt in Colorado, Chris Grygiel in Washington state, Corey Williams in Michigan and Nedra Pickler in Washington contributed to this report.

Covington Council names replacement at Monday’s meeting Sheryle Roadcap

For the Troy Daily News tdneditorial@civitasmedia.com

COVINGTON—The village of Covington Council meeting held Monday covered a variety of town issues, from the resignation of longtime council member Marc Basey and filling the seat vacancy, to amending the official Covington zoning map to the hiring of two additional part time maintenance workers.

40513911

Upon council accepting Basey’s resignation, replacement Donald Weer was voted in to fill the position through the end of December until the January terms begins.

Weer, who was unanimously voted in by the council and immediately took his place at the table Monday evening, is retired and has many years of experience in the manufacturing and engineering industry. Additional applicable experience that Weer possesses is previously

serving on the village’s Board of Public Affairs, which regulates its water and sewage systems.

Other old business handled Monday was an approval of ordinances for the regulation of parking during heavy snowfalls and declared emergencies, and for the control of door-to-door peddlers.

Streets in which parking is prohibited when an emergency has been declared are: Wenrick, High, Broadway, State Route 41, Wright

Street from High to Pearl Street, and Wall Street from Broadway to Walnut Street, or any other roads that the Mayor proclaims, and all streets with a snowfall of six inches or greater.

Door-to-door peddlers are considered to be an individual intending to solicit “doorto-door or at any public place within the corporation limits of the Village of Covington.”

Such an individual must pay an application fee and be issued a vendor’s permit

before “engaging in any solicitation activity.”

New business discussed, within the village administrator’s report, included retirement benefits for Persons of Emergency Response Systems (PERS), the sale of surplus equipment, part time employees interviewing for maintenance worker positions, a proposal for the village to purchase the property at 110 Pearl St., and the new possibility for residents to pay their utility bill via ACH

bank withdrawal.

Lastly, aside from an announcement of receipt of a grant check for purchasing a defibrillator for the police department and all village employees, a discussion, followed by a vote and approval to amend the official Covington Ohio zoning map, and the approval for the hiring of two Covington residents, Tim Lundsford and James Hutchinson, as part-time maintenance workers were established

Ohio kidnap survivor recounts abuse, dog’s killing CLEVELAND (AP) — The first of three women kidnapped and held for a decade in Ariel Castro’s Cleveland home was chained and raped by her captor, who struck her with a barbell to force a miscarriage when she became pregnant and snapped her dog’s neck after it tried to protect her and bit Castro, the woman said in a taped interview Tuesday on the “Dr. Phil” show.

Michelle Knight recounted graphic allegations of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and said Castro kept her in filthy conditions, sometimes naked and freezing, after she was kidnapped in 2002, when she was about 20.

Knight said Castro lured her inside with the promise of a puppy for her young son. She said she was kept in a basement and a boarded-up bedroom and once tried to escape, using a needle to pick a lock on chains that bound her.

She said she made it to a window before Castro returned and punished her.

Knight said she sometimes fell asleep praying that her lock would open, and she feels she survived because of her son, now a teenager.

“I want my son to know me as a victor, not a victim,” Knight told the TV

host. “And I wanted him to know that I survived, loving him. His love got me through.”

Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus escaped from Castro’s house May 6 when Berry pushed out a door and called for help. Knight has been the most public since, including a visit to Castro’s neighborhood before his house was demolished.

Castro, 53, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. A month into his sentence, he was found dead in his cell. His hanging death was ruled a suicide, but a prison report indicated he may have died accidentally while choking himself for a sexual thrill.

In the “Dr. Phil” interview, Knight said Castro had a sexual fetish about choking her but never himself.

Knight also raised previously reported allegations that Castro had held someone else and said he’d told her that there was another girl before her. Authorities have said no remains were found at the home.

The second part of Knight’s interview airs Wednesday.

Berry and DeJesus plan to share their stories in a book about their ordeal.

AP Photo Judy Flaherty, right, covers her son Brian Ludmer with a bedsheet in his room at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Ludmer was the lone civilian wounded by gunfire in the shooting rampage at Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 1.

LAX shooting survivor says he crawled for his life

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A teacher said Tuesday that he crawled to escape a gunman at Los Angeles International Airport and used a sweatshirt as a tourniquet after his leg was shattered during last week’s deadly shooting.

“I didn’t know what his intention was,” Brian Ludmer said from his hospital bed. “I only saw me and him. … I was in total panic.”

Ludmer, 29, said he was heading to his hometown of Chicago to attend a wedding when gunshots erupted Friday on a floor below him as he waited in a long, snaking line at a Terminal 3 security checkpoint.

“It was hard to know what was going on, where the shots were coming from,” he said.

Downstairs, Transportation Security Administration Officer Gerardo I. Hernandez was killed and the gunman was trying to shoot other TSA workers.

Ludmer recalled that he and other travelers pushed through metal detectors after hearing shots, scattering into the terminal and down ramps into bathrooms, shops and stores, even onto airplanes — anywhere to get away from the shooter.

As Ludmer ran, a bullet hit him in the calf.

“My leg collapsed. It just instantly wouldn’t support me,” he said. “Below the bullet wound my leg was just hanging.”

He looked back and saw the gunman alone in the terminal hallway. Ludmer collapsed against a wall and started crawling for his life on all fours. He found a shop, scrambled into a storage room and shut the door. He found a sweatshirt and tied it around his leg to reduce the bleeding.

Ludmer was terrified that he would pass out and bleed to death or the gunman would follow and finish him off.

Soon, however, he heard voices, dragged himself to the door and peeked out. A wave of relief swept over him when he realized police officers were clearing the terminal.

Two officers told him they would get him out safely — but not quite yet, because the gunman might still be on the loose. Ludmer said his leg was bleeding, and he needed a paramedic.

The officers helped him into a wheelchair and dashed through the terminal.

“They got me out of there, even though it was at great risk to themselves,” he said. “They wheeled me out of there at a run.”

They didn’t know that airport police had actually shot and wounded the suspect, Paul Ciancia, within minutes of the attack.

Ludmer needs one more surgery but doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

About 1,500 students rallied at Calabasas High School west of downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday to honor the performing arts teacher and to protest gun violence. They held signs of support for Ludmer and chanted his name.

Ludmer said he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and called the gunman “sick,” mentally ill and delusional.

“But whether you’re sick or not, I don’t see any lawful purpose for having access to those sorts of weapons,” he said. “I don’t see the benefit that is outweighing the cost that it seems to be continually taking.”

Federal agents are investigating possible ties between Ciancia and a widely circulated conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is preparing to establish a totalitarian state.

The FBI got a warrant Monday to search Ciancia’s cellphone for materials reflecting his “views on the legitimacy or activities of the United States government, including the existence of a plot to impose a New World Order,” according to court documents.

Ciancia, a 23-year-old unemployed motorcycle mechanic, got a ride to LAX on Friday morning with a roommate, walked into the airport and began targeting TSA officers, authorities said.

Two wounded TSA agents have been released from the hospital.

Why airport security officers apparently came to personify oppression remained unclear.

The new world order belief holds that an international cabal of elites is planning to take away the guns and personal freedoms of Americans. Perceived masterminds behind the conspiracy have shifted over several generations, among them bankers, communists and the government itself.

The TSA does not regularly feature as a target of the theory’s ire, according to Mark Potok, who has studied extremist groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center. More typically, believers focus on the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which according to the theory plans to build camps to detain resisters, Potok said.

TIPP CITY — After earning nine straight playoff trips, the Tippecanoe Red Devils have gotten used to preparing for a Week 11 game.

But don’t mistake “gotten used to” for “ho hum.”

“Yeah, we’ve been through this all before. It’s not like it’s something new — but it’s still exciting,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said. “We still had to earn our way in.

We still had to win games, win the right games. It’s still exciting.

“I don’t think it will ever get old.”

Tippecanoe didn’t only earn its way into the postseason this year, though. The Red Devils went undefeated for

the first time since 2007, won their first Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division championship since 2009, their first outright championship since 2007 and claimed the No. 1 seed in the Division III, Region 10 playoffs to earn their first home postseason game since 2011.

And now they’re after one more accomplishment — the first playoff victory since 2009, a 34-6 win at Sandusky Perkins. The Devils also won a playoff game in 2002, in their first trip to the postseason, over Dunbar.

“It’s a very important game to the kids,” Burgbacher said. “These kids have had to hear a lot about what other Tipp teams have done. They want to make a See THRILL | 13

In this 2010 file photo, Miami East football coach Max Current leaves the huddle after giving instructions to his team. Since taking over in 1999, Current has helped transform a program that once almost canceled football into a perennial playoff contender.

Back from the brink How a coach saved a program that nearly canceled football David Fong

Executive Editor dfong@civitasmedia.com

A “town hall meeting” had been called to discuss the future of football at Miami East.

A number of options were discussed that night — one of which included cancelling football at Miami East altogether.

Plenty of fingers were being pointed that August evening, and many wondered if there was anyone out there who could possibly save a once-proud program.

One name kept popping up again and again as the man who could possibly resurrect East’s dormant program.

That night, Max Current was the man who was tabbed as the one who could save football at Miami East High School.

There was one small problem, however.

Current already had a job — he was teaching at Greenville High School and was the defensive coordinator of a hard-nosed Green See BRINK | 14

CASSTOWN — Inside the old Miami East High School cafeteria, temperatures were starting to rise.

It was a sweltering August evening in 1998 — just weeks before the football season was set to begin — and the only thing rising faster than the mercury were the ires of the parents, players and supporters of the Miami East football program. Viking football had hit rock bottom at that point — the team was in the midst of a 30-game losing streak — and the natives were restless.

NFL players speak out on Dolphins’ hazing Eleven seasons into his football career, Washington Redskins linebacker Nick Barnett figures he has a pretty good sense of the sort of teasing and hazing and horsing around that happens in the typical NFL locker room, especially when it comes to rookies.

They’re stuck with $5,000 dinner tabs.

They’re told to tote the helmets or pads of older players. They’re held down and given unwanted haircuts or get their eyebrows shaved.

Staff Reports

BRANDT — An investigation is under way after an alleged altercation involving a parent and the head varsity football coach following Bethel High School’s regular season finale at home Friday night.

The Miami County Sheriff ’s Office took a complaint from a school official at Bethel on Saturday morning about the incident, where Michael Mullins of Tipp City is accused of a misdemeanor assault against coach Kevin Finfrock of West Milton.

The incident, which reportedly began when Mullins questioned Finfrock about the playing time of his son, a junior running back for the Bees, occurred at approximately 11 p.m., following Friday night’s game. Finfrock is listed as the victim on the police report.

School officials and the sheriff’s office could not comment further, as the investigation is ongoing. No formal charges have been filed at this point.

Packers QB Rodgers injured

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Packers’ franchise quarterback is taking a seat.

Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday he has a fractured left collarbone and has no idea yet how long he will be out.

The 2011 NFL MVP offered details of the injury on his weekly radio show on 540-AM ESPN. He got hurt after getting sacked by the Bears’ Shea McClellin on a third-down play during the Packers’ first series while he was scrambling outside the pocket. He hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder.

“I do have a fractured collarbone.

That’s a significant injury,” Rodgers said. “We’ll know more about the severity and the timetable later this week.”

Rodgers said he was holding out hope he would heal quickly. “In this case, it was considerably more pain than I’ve felt in a long time,” he added.

That collective groan you heard came from the state of Wisconsin.

The sliver of good news for the Packers: coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the injury won’t end Rodgers’ season. He sounded much more optimistic than after Monday night’s 27-20 loss to Chicago.

“I’m relieved, no doubt,” McCarthy told reporters at Lambeau Field. “With the new information that was given today, everybody felt better about it.

How long? We don’t have our hands around a timeline yet, but I know Aaron is very optimistic and he’ll do everything he can to get back in a timely fashion.”

Cavs’ Bennett still looking for 1st field goal

40517431

12 12

INDEPENDENCE (AP) — The No. 1 overall pick is still looking for basket No. 1.

Anthony Bennett, the first player taken in this year’s NBA draft, hasn’t scored a field goal for the Cavaliers.

Through four games, Cleveland’s burly forward has missed each of his 15 shots from the field, including eight 3-pointers. He appears lost with the ball in his hands, causing some to wonder if the Cavs made a mistake with their choice.

He’s O-for-the-season so far.

According to STATS, Bennett is just the fifth rookie — playing a minimum of five minutes — to begin his career without making a field goal in the first four games.

None of the other four, though, was selected ahead of every player in the draft.

Cavs coach Mike Brown said there are several reasons for Bennett’s drought.

“He’s probably pressing to a certain degree,” Brown said after practice Tuesday. “So it’s probably a little of that and a little bit of being on a big stage now in the regular season with it counting. There’s probably some of where his opponents are looking at him and saying that they’re going to come at him. They may not care that he’s the No. 1 pick.”

For comparison’s sake,

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Michael Carter-Williams has 26 field goals already, and eight other rookies who have attempted at least 15 shots have put one shot through the rim.

Bennett’s alarming fieldgoal deficiency extended to four games Monday night when he went 0 for 3 in 10 minutes during a 93-92 win over Minnesota.

He was not available to speak to reporters following practice as he quickly dressed and went home to take care of personal business before the Cavs flew to Milwaukee.

The 20-year-old showed flashes of offensive firepower during the exhibition season, but the regular season has been nothing but a series of missed shots. He is 2 for 4 at the free-throw line, with each attempt coming in his NBA debut against Brooklyn.

The Cavs insist it’s too early for them to be overly concerned about Bennett’s scoring woes. Brown dismissed any thought of sitting the first-year player to clear his head.

However, Bennett’s inability to score — he’s averaging 12.8 minutes per game — could show that he’s going to need some extra time before he can be counted on as a major contributor.

“I look at it as he’s a guy

that can grow slowly into his role with us and that’s the exciting part of it,” Brown said. “I just want him to keep going out there and playing, and if you can take advantage of your opponent on either end of the floor, go ahead and do it.”

And while Bennett hasn’t delivered on the offensive end, the 6-foot-8, 240-pounder has provided some solid defense and rebounding. At Indiana last Saturday night, when he tried to flip in a layup and had it roll around the rim and out, Bennett grabbed six boards.

“Defensively, he’s been better than what I thought,” Brown said. “I actually thought he was going to struggle defensively — bad.

But he’s picked up on the concepts and he’s been tougher and stronger than what I expected.

“At the end of the day, and I’ve seen it with my own eyes, he can score. He can score from all three levels and once he figures out how hard he has to play offensively in order for it to happen on a possession by possession occurrence, he’ll be good.”

Until then, Bennett is getting support from his teammates. They’re urging him to keep his chin up and the shots will eventually go down.

NFL speaks out on Dolphins’ hazing Other players cite lack of leaders in Miami Amukamara had missed most of training camp with an injury a year earlier as a rookie, so perhaps this was a chance to make up for lost time; a teammate let the world in on the episode with a tweet.

“What I went through wasn’t bullying at all. It was just more of fun in the locker room. Of course, nobody’s going to be happy being thrown into a cold tub of water, but … things can get out of hand sometimes,” Amukamara said this week.

Like several other players around the NFL, Amukamara latched onto two particular elements of the Miami situation that moved past normal fun ‘n’ games: “Anything that’s racial or threatening, I think that’s in the definition of bullying,” he said.

Detroit Lions receiver Nate Burleson recalled a first-round draft pick with another team who signed a deal for tens of millions of dollars and was told to pay a $30,000 restaurant bill for others at his position.

“It happens a lot. But certain things remain in this league for a reason, and certain things start to phase themselves out,” Burleson said. “I don’t know if this is one of them.”

Some veterans, such as Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen, consider such happenings a rite

lied or whatever the case is, now we have an issue.”

While some players said they figure the NFL to make clear certain kinds of locker-room behavior won’t be tolerated, Commissioner Roger Goodell has so far been silent on the matter; a spokesman said the league is “currently engaged in a thorough review of the situation.” The players’ union issued a statement Tuesday saying it expects the NFL and teams to “create a safe and professional workplace for all players.”

According to two people familiar with the case, Incognito sent Martin racist and threatening text messages. The 319-pound Incognito, a ninth-year pro, is white. The 312-pound Martin, in his second NFL season, is biracial. It’s unclear whether Dolphins coaches or management knew of any issues between the pair before Martin left the team.

The curtains do get pulled back on this sort of thing in the NFL every so often and, as with most bits of news connected to the country’s most popular sports league, they garner quite a bit of attention.

During training camp last year, New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara was tossed into a tub of ice water by defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul.

“Other vets have to have the responsibility and step up.”

One factor at play in Miami: There is something of a veteran leadership vacuum on the young Dolphins, perhaps in part because the best player, defensive end Cameron Wake, generally is a laid-back guy who is not inclined to assert himself.

“The locker room has been fine, as far as I’m concerned,” Wake said Monday, when details of the MartinIncognito case emerged.

“I can’t speak for anybody else.”

the biggest thing that disappointed me. … There was not a veteran guy strong enough to stop what was happening.”

The irony, of course, is that Incognito was one of the oldest members of the Dolphins — only one player on the Week 1 roster had been in the league longer — and was voted to one of six spots on the team’s leadership council.

“How do you police it if you have your mostesteemed vets doing it?”

From page 11 statement, to leave their own legacy. They want to be the measuring stick that all other Tipp teams use.

“These kids are looking to set the bar.”

They’ll get their chance Friday night when they host No. 8 seed Kenton Ridge — a CBC Kenton Trail Division rival that the Devils defeated 35-7 just two weeks ago on Oct. 25 on the road.

“The games we’ve had against Kenton Ridge these last three years … we led 7-0 at the half this year, last year it was 0-0 at halftime (a 28-7 victory) and two years ago we were down 17-14 going into the fourth quarter and came back to win 21-17,” Burgbacher said. “The kids know that this is a game they can win, that this a team they can be and have been successful against, and I think that helps them. But they know it’s important to come out and make a statement early.”

And as for that winning streak these current Red Devils have against the Cougars making them overconfident?

Burgbacher isn’t worried about that at all.

“With this particular group, I don’t think that will be a problem,” he said. “These kids are playing for something. I don’t see that that’s going to be an issue for them.”

Because even with all this year’s Devils have accomplished, there’s still a solid chip on the team’s shoulder. There’s always something to prove.

“Early on this season, we kind of got a tag from some people of playing other teams that people didn’t think were very good. I don’t think a lot of people truly appreciated the play of this group,” Burgbacher said. “But here at the end of the year, these kids showed it wasn’t a fluke. That they’re for real. Once we got into division play, they continued to execute every week. The way these kids played was reward enough for them.

“Everything they’ve gotten, they’ve earned.”

Friday night, they’ll look to earn one more thing.

And they’re definitely excited for the chance to do so.

of passage they hope won’t disappear entirely — within reason.

“Some of the younger guys come in and there’s a sense of entitlement, and you lose that work ethic, you lose that true veteran-led locker room sometimes,” said Allen, who said he’s seen teammates fork over $50,000 or more.

“You got to know who you’re dealing with. You can’t treat everyone the same. You can’t treat every rookie the same.

“Some guys are more sensitive than others.”

And there are those who take the whole pecking-order system rather seriously.

“In our locker room, it’s simple: Do what we say and you won’t get hazed,” Giants cornerback Terrell Thomas said. “If you don’t, you get thrown in the cold tub or your shirt gets cut up.”

Several players said they think it’s up to players to prevent the behavior that goes beyond good-natured ribbing.

That, they say, was the failure in Miami.

“Who was the leaders on that team?” Redskins linebacker London Fletcher said. “I know Jonathan Martin didn’t feel comfortable enough to go to any of the guys, because either you’re encouraging it or you’re just turning a blind eye and allowing the guy to get treated like he was getting treated.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Eleven seasons into his football career, Washington Redskins linebacker Nick Barnett figures he has a pretty good sense of the sort of teasing and hazing and horsing around that happens in the typical NFL locker room, especially when it comes to rookies.

They’re stuck with $5,000 dinner tabs. They’re told to tote the helmets or pads of older players. They’re held down and given unwanted haircuts or get their eyebrows shaved.

What he’s never heard of, Barnett said Tuesday, is the kind of accusations of outand-out bullying and harassment at the heart of why second-year offensive tackle Jonathan Martin suddenly left the Miami Dolphins a week ago because of emotional distress, and why his linemate, Richie Incognito, was suspended indefinitely by the team.

“You have different people, different personalities, different cultures in here, and it’s not going to be the same as in an accountant’s office or Wall Street. Same as our armed forces,” Barnett said, standing at his locker after Washington’s practice. “But every social setting has its standards, and when (you) cross those standards … especially with a guy who is 6-something-foot tall, 300 pounds … not coming to practice because he feels bul-

Brink From page 11 ing and that’s when I started sniffing around.”

In 1957, legendary college football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant had built a moribund Texas A&M program into a national power.

But then offered the job at Alabama, his alma mater, Bryant famously said, “Momma called. And when Momma calls, you just have to come runnin’.”

Current was faced with a similar problem before the 1999 season. And when Momma called, Current came runnin’.

“That was my alma mater,” Current said. “I couldn’t just let the program die. I felt like I had to do something.”

The rest, as they say, has been history.

Resurrecting the Program Following the 1998 season at Greenville, Current accepted the head coaching job at Miami East High School. He knew the program was in trouble — but until he arrived back in Casstown, he couldn’t possibly have known just how far things had fallen since he was a part of the famed “Blue Wave” defense in the 1980s.

“I knew they were bad, but I didn’t realize how bad they were until I got here,”

Anthony Weber | Troy Daily News file Miami East’s Michael Fellers fights for extra yards during a game against Covington earlier this season.

Current said. “I remember coming home after one game against Lehman — and Lehman was pretty good at the time — and they had just put it to us. We had scored a touchdown late and kicked the extra point.

I remember one of our players, Nathan Chivington, was so excited on the bus ride home because they had kicked an extra point. They had never kicked an extra point before. That’s how bad it was.

“I remember another game we were playing Versailles and they were up like 20-0 at halftime. When

we went in the lockerroom at halftime, all the kids were so excited. They kept saying, ‘We’ve never been this close to Versailles at halftime before.’ That’s just how things were. The kids were excited because they were only losing by 20 points at halftime. I remember thinking, ‘What have I got myself into?’”

Current knew then he had his work cut out for him. He knew there would be no quick fixes. Like most coaches, he wanted to win games immediately — but knew deep down he would have to build the entire pro-

Wave team that had been to the playoffs twice in the past six years. None of the people in that cramped cafeteria could have possibly known if Current would be willing to leave the security of his position at Greenville to accept the job at a program that was generally viewed as one of the weakest in the area.

“I was pretty happy at Greenville,” said Current, an All-Ohio lineman at Miami East in the early 1980s who had gone on to play at West Virginia Wesleyan. “I loved my teaching job and I loved my coaching job.

But then I started to hear about some things at Miami East that really bothered me. I heard something that got my attention. I remember someone had said, ‘If Miami East were to lose football, it wouldn’t be any skin off of anybody’s teeth.’

I didn’t like hearing that.

If it hadn’t been for Miami East football, I wouldn’t be sitting where I was that day.

“Then I started reading some things in the paper about how they were talking about cancelling football at Miami East. I still remember when I was coaching at Greenville, I would check the paper to see how the Vikings were doing. I read about all this stuff happen-

gram from the ground up, which meant accepting a series of small, moral victories along the way.

All it Takes is Patience Nothing came easy for Current or the Vikings those first few years. In 1999 — Current’s first year as head coach — the Vikings won their first game in more than three years, knocking off Northwestern the second game of the season, snapping a 33-game losing streak. Still, though, Miami East would go on to finish the season a woeful 1-9.

But Current — and the Miami East administration — could see the light at the end of the tunnel … and for once, it wasn’t a train coming down the tracks.

“I remember I was sitting at lunch that first year with Mrs. (Connie) Strehle, our principal, and we were talking, trying to figure out how long it was going to take to turn things around.

I remember she said it may take four, five, six or seven years. I remember thinking, ‘Well, if the administration is willing to wait that long, that’s a good thing.’ The administration was very patient with me. As a coach — and I think as a fan — you always want to win

right away. But they seemed willing to give me time to get the program turned around.”

In 2000, Miami East would improve to 4-6, followed by a 6-4 season the following year. Miami East would go back into a slump again for a four-year stretch, but both Current and the administration were willing to stay the course.

And now — nearly 15 years removed from nearly shutting down football at Miami East, the Vikings are a perennial playoff contender.

Consistency is Key Friday night, Miami East will take on Tri-County North in a Division VI, Region 22 playoff game.

The game will be played at Miami East High School — the first playoff game the school has ever hosted.

It will be the fourth playoff trip in six seasons for Miami East, having lost first-round games to Marion Local in 2007, West Jefferson in 2008 and Coldwater in 2012.

It also serves as a stark reminder of just how far a program that once was teetering on the brink of extinction has come in a relatively short amount of time under the watchful eye of a hometown boy.

How has this incredible turnaround happened?

“Well, getting a group of good players certainly helped,” Current said with a chuckle. “But we’ve also kept doing what we believe in doing. We’ve had consistency in our coaching staff. Everyone on our staff knows what needs to be done and how we need to do it. The kids all know what we expect from them.

They are willing to come in here and do the work.”

Friday night, Miami East will have a chance to prove to the world it truly is back and here to stay. The Friday night lights may never glow brighter than they will Friday night.

Which is a pretty far cry from a cramped cafeteria on a sweltering August night in 1998.
