WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney won three primaries, Rick Santorum countered coolly with a pair and the Republican rivals dueled for supremacy in Ohio on a Super Tuesday that stretched from one end of the country to the other in the most turbulent Republican presidential race in a generation. Newt Gingrich won a home-field primary in Georgia, and Rep. Ron Paul looked to three caucus states

for his first victory of the campaign season as Republicans choose a for Democratic challenger President Barack Obama. Romney, who won at home in Massachusetts and in Vermont and Virginia, said, “This is a process of gathering enough delegates to become the nominee, and I think we’re on track to have that happen.” But Santorum’s showing — he led in the North Dakota caucuses,

Santorum waited until Oklahoma and Tennessee fell into his column before speaking to cheering supporters in Ohio.

“We’re going to win a few. We’re going to lose a few. But as it looks right now, we’re going to get a couple of gold medals and a whole passel of silver,” he said. Ohio was the marquee matchup of the night, the second industrial state showdown in as many weeks for the former Massachusetts governor and the former senator from Pennsylvania.

Huffman takes coroner’s seat Beats incumbent Nordquist, 59 to 41 percent

A Miami County grand jury will hear the disturbing details of an adoptive Troy father who allegedly raped three children in his care, also allegedly compelled child prostitution through online advertisements by forcing a 10-yearold boy to perform sexual acts. Kenneth H. Brandt, 39, of Troy, remains jailed on a $800,000 bond following a Tuesday preliminary hearing in Miami County Municipal Court on three counts of rape and one count of compelling prostitution, all felonies. Brandt waived his right to the preliminary hearing in open court Tuesday afternoon before Judge Mel Kemmer, who continued the man’s bond as the

Plan yields concerns

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com Republican challenger Dr. Steve Huffman ousted incumbent Miami County Coroner Dr. Bruce Nordquist, stopping the current coroner for a potential second term in the only contested race in county government Tuesday night. Unofficial results released by the Miami County Board of Elections from the Ohio primary election revealed that Huffman secured 5,806 votes while Nordquist managed 4,049, or 59 percent to 41 percent, respectively. Huffman’s victory assures he will become the county’s next coroner since he will not be facing a Democrat challenger in the upcoming general election on Nov. 6. A resident of Tipp City and lifelong county resident, Huffman, 47, is a board certified doctor in family and emergency medicine who also is certified in advanced trauma, pediatric, and advanced coronary life support. For the last 18 years he has worked as an emergency room doctor with Premier Health Care services and is on the medical staff at several area hospitals, including Upper Valley Medical Center.

TROY In running for the office, Huffman said he believed there was a lack of service and attention by the current coroner and promised that if he was elected there would be much quicker response times to the scenes of accidents and coroner cases. A Milton-Union High School graduate, Huffman said he was thrilled to secure the position following the results Tuesday night. “It feels good and I am very appreciative of all of the people that helped out on the campaign,” Huffman said, in particular his two

brothers,Robert and Samuel. “I look forward to representing Miami County in a fiscally conservative manner.” Huffman’s term as coroner will commence Jan. 1, 2013. Nordquist, 78, of Troy, is a general family practitioner who opened his office in Troy in 1973. He retired in 2007 and in 2008 he, Huffman and three others battled for the post after former longtime Coroner Judith Nickras, a Democrat, stepped down from the post after serving the county since 1993. The coroner examines and documents the cause of death for per-

At its first public meeting, the revised Stonebridge Meadows ordinance received several complaints from residents mainly about the lack of parks in their own subdivisions. Members of the law and ordinance committee will meet again today at 5:30 p.m. in city council chambers to discuss a recommendation regarding proposed revisions to the general plan of Stonebridge Meadows. No one present at the meeting spoke in favor of the revised general plan of Stonebridge Meadows.

Authorities said King approached a 12-year-old boy at the Troy swimming facility and attempted to solicit sexual activity, which

never took place. King was convicted of felony importuning Jan. 10. He faced the maximum prison sentence of five years in prison. “I’m sorry for what happened,” King said. “I did not mean to offend anyone.” Prior to his sentencing hearing, King was labeled as a tier I sex offender, which means he must annually register with the sheriff’s office in the county where he resides, works or receives an education for 15 years following his release from prison.

• CONTINUED FROM A1 City resident Lester Conard reminded city council that the proposed development has been on the agenda several times and the citizens of Troy was a democracy. “They didn’t like it before and the contractors will change its plans after the zoning permits,” Conard said. “They’ve (the building contractors) got Troy over a barrel.” Troy resident John Scott said Stonebridge Meadows development is a “bogus deal.” “We think the voters voted,” Scott told council. Scott said the timeline for the development extended to 10 to 14 years would take too long for the city to recoup money. “I think you should have them stick to their original plan,” Scott said. “Don’t cave in to their demands.” Naomi Price, a Stonebrige resident, said her biggest complaint with the new proposed development is the lack of a park, an amenity she was looking for when she bought her home and has yet to have in place. According to the city of Troy’s website, Stonebridge is listed as a “future park site.” Price said she moved from Westbrook to Stonebridge and purposely did not put up a playset in the backyard of her new home and was told there would be a community park as part of the development. Price also noted that the McKaig Street and State Route 718 area is “a busy road.” “I wouldn’t want my kids walking down the road,”

city did not have an escrow account for a city park in Stonebridge and that the promised park was the developers concern, not the city’s. “To our knowledge there was never a promise made,” Titterington said. “There is no money in escrow for the purchase of playground equipment. It is a private park.” Titterington said his staff would research the concerns of the residents and present its findings at today’s meeting. In other news: The city council adopted the following resolutions: R-7-2012: To authorize the director of public service and safety to enter into a professional services agreement with the consulting engineering firm of EMH&T of Columbus, to design the West Main Street Traffic signal interconnect project at a cost not to exceed $83,125. The interconnect project will be from West Main Street through Dorset to Marybill Drive to improve traffic flow. Construction will take place in 2013. The Ohio Department of Transportation will fund 80 percent of the construction costs through a grant administered by the Miami Valley Planning Regional Commission. The city of Troy is responsible for the design costs and 20 percent of the construction costs. All members voted in favor.

Price said. Amanda Ernst, a resident of Stonebridge for three years, said “I really hope the plans go through” in reference to the proposed park in her neighborhood Stonebridge. President Marty Baker closed the public comments and told the audience the committee would meet again at 5:30 p.m. today in council chambers. On Feb. 29, the finance committee recommended a $500 per construction fee-inlieu of parkland dedication. The current fee is 0.435 cents per-square-feet of required parkland. The planning commission recommendation to council includes the following “That the developer will pay to the city of Troy an fee-in-lieu-of appropriate parkland dedication as established after review and as set by Troy City Council.” For example, for the proposed Stonebridge Meadows development, the fee-in-lieu of originally would have been $35,812. Now with the $500 recommendation, the parkland dedication fee would generate $67,000 towards park fees. Public Service and Safety director Patrick Titterington said the city does not require playground equipment as part of its “green space” or park land plans. “Open space doesn’t have to have equipment,” Titterington said. As for the safety concerns of the intersection of St. Rt. 718 and McKaig and on Washington Road and St. Rt. 718, Titterington said he had been in contact with Troy City Schools and said the school district was “amicable” to the idea of a sidewalk to the school.

The second, owned by Lesher Properties LTD, is a 195.69 acre area along the west side of County Road 25-A between Kerr and Kessler Road Cowlesville Road. Wilma Mohr Farms LTD also applied for renewal for 94.15 acres north of State Route 751. All three applications for renewal were approved by council. Agricultural district designation provides the property owners with certain benefits, including nuisance law protection so long as the farmer is following acceptable management practices. To qualify as an agricultural district, the land must be used in agricultural production. This includes animal husbandry; the growing of field crops, timber, nursery stock and sod; and the processing, storing, and marketing of any agricultural products.

ONLINE POLL

Question: Should the United States have free, universal health care?

“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 The Daily Sentinel, Grand Junction, Colo., on Keystone XL Pipeline politics: A permit for the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico was rejected by the Obama administration earlier this year, the result of a political showdown with Republicans in Congress. Now a portion of the pipeline is coming back, and along with it, political posturing. TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL Pipeline, said it now hopes to build the southern-most section of the pipeline, from Oklahoma to the Texas Gulf Coast. Because this section of the pipeline doesn’t cross an international border, no State Department approval is required for this portion, which would cost an estimated $3.2 billion. The company also said it plans to renew its application for the full pipeline in the near future. Even so, President Barack Obama signaled he was ready to offer his support to the southern portion of the Keystone pipeline because it would help alleviate a glut of oil at an Oklahoma storage facility.

Even before the latest development, Chavez’s henchmen had turned their rhetorical guns against his main opponent in this year’s presidential elections, Henrique Capriles Radonski. … A Chávez propagandist denounced Capriles as the embodiment of Zionism and disparaged this as “an ideology of terror.” The disclosure of Chavez’s cancer recurrence will no doubt raise the profile of Capriles even higher as someone who can carry the banner of democracy to victory in October. For once, the opposition has united behind a single figure, Capriles, who wants to restore Venezuela’s institutions and end the chaos, mismanagement and dead-end policies of Chavez. The international community cannot look the other way. Venezuela’s friends, including the United States and the Organization of American States, should denounce the scurrilous campaign against Capriles. The key to what happens next may lie with Venezuela’s military, the ultimate guarantors of democracy. Mr. Chavez has done his best to indoctrinate the armed forces, but many believe it is not blindly proChavez, at least not yet. The military would become even more important in any non-Chavez scenario. The generals should be reminded that they owe their allegiance to the nation, not to Chavez, to safeguard the country’s democratic tradition.

DOONESBURY

I admit to my cupcake of shame; I enjoyed it I have a serious issue. A complex that I struggle with here and there and I got caught yesterday and was immediately filled with shame. David Fong caught me fair and square, chocolate-handed. I was sitting there embarrassed, with my cupcake of shame. I have a problem — with chocolate — gasp. Whew, first step is to admit the problem right? OK, OK, I know. I am a runner. I am training for my second half marathon in May and a full marathon in the fall. I should have this whole eating right all the time thing down to a tee, but I still have those cravings sometimes as most girls do. (Key word there, was most.) I know, there are those of you crazies out there that are not tempted in the least by chocolate or sweets — unfortunately — I am not one of them and I wish I could learn your secrets. I have gotten a lot better than what I have been in the past, but still struggle from time to time, when I am stressed out, emotional or just plain craving some chocolatey goodness. I decided Tuesday that I wanted a cupcake from Sweet by Kristy (delicious sweet shop in Tipp City if you haven’t been — go.) So instead

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist of just getting one for myself I thought I would share the goodness with my co-worker Lindy. She was excited and I was glad I put a smile on her face. The key, was I was trying to decide whether I was going to just take her’s in and leave mine in the car to eat in private or to take both in. My initial response to myself was to eat my cupcake of shame in the privacy of my own vehicle where no one could punish or judge me for it. Instead I took both cupcakes into the office and decided to enjoy its deliciousness to it’s full extent. Well, I was sitting there quietly going about my morning with my first bite taken out of my Andes Mountain perfection when I hear “KATIE YANTIS!” “David, I know, please don’t judge me,” I responded to him.

He said “You don’t even know what I am going to say.” I pointed at my cupcake with one singular bite out of it. “I really just wanted something. You know how I told you I have been trying to eat healthy around 90 percent of the time, well this is part of that 10 percent.” The two of us, of course, took a trip up to Dana Wolfe’s office. He tried to get her to jump on his side of the argument and of course that was not the case. Dana came up with a brilliant idea and told him that it’s part of my new training plan. It’s where you eat a cupcake, only ones with green icing and an Andes mint on top on the days of your long runs to give you extra energy. It’s called cupcake training. Laughter of course filled the entire building at that point. He proceeded to try his best and make me feel even worse (even though he was looking out for my best interests — a thank you is deserved by him, so Thank You Fong!) by telling us that it wasn’t a cupcake but a whole cake that you could put a topper on. Lindy and I proceeded to disagree and we decided to agree to disagree with Fong. I gotta tell you. That Andes Mountain hit the spot. I have been

craving something and that was it. And to be completely honest, I knew I was going to run more than planned in my schedule so I was OK with it, despite the extra few-hundred calories. You have to let yourself indulge every now and again, right? Well that in addition to a few other things, I have hit my mark. I know, I know, I have fallen off a couple of other times, but only for good reason. Now, it’s focus time and time to get back on the healthy train. After all, Fong is right, my half marathon is inching ever so close every day. And another accountability holder — who we shall name Key, has been keeping me on track as well. Thank you to him for reducing my intake of the area’s most delicious soft pretzels one could consume. (I would commit carbocide probably if it wasn’t for him — those carbs are my nemesis.) Another thank you goes to my roomie for out “pact.” But don’t you worry, my cupcake of shame hit the spot for me. I’m good for awhile, but just in case, next time I will eat my goodness out of the box in my car so if you drive by and see me sneaking a few bites, don’t tell on me!

In a press release, lations — by the U.S.

Hobart Brothers Company said, “Hobart Brothers Company recently received a notice of Citation and Penalty from the U.S. Department of Labor for violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. We are in the process of reviewing

TROY the citation and will work to rectify all of the issues brought to our attention. At Hobart Brothers, our people’s safety is of the utmost importance and we will continue to work with the Department of Labor to provide a safe workplace.” The OSHA report states that the 55 safety and health violations including inadequate lockout/tagout programs, fall protection and noise sampling and failure to provide appropri-

ate personal protective equipment for employees performing energized electrical work. Twelve serious health violations with penalties of $51,300 involve failing to sample noise levels, train workers on hazard communication and provide confined space evaluations. “A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known,” OSHA said.

The citations issued to Hobart Brothers can be viewed at http://www.osha.gov/ooc/cit ations/Hobart_Safety_9833 2_0302012.pdf Hobart Brothers Co. has until March 20 to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, the agency said. A phone call to Hobart Brothers communication director was not returned by press time.

Judge says school shooting case may go to adult court

Community Veterinary Clinic 948 W. Main St., Troy

Compassion and Quality in Patient Care

CHARDON (AP) — A 17-year-old charged in an Ohio school shooting rampage that left three students dead made a court appearance Tuesday, where a judge explained to him that the case could be sent to adult court for trial. Authorities will decide later whether T.J. Lane will be tried as an adult and face a possible life sentence. Lane is charged with three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated

murder and one count of felonious assault. He did not enter a plea Tuesday. He appeared before Juvenile Judge Tim Grendell, who told him his case could be moved to adult court for trial. Grendell postponed a hearing on that matter from March 19 until April 3 because two new attorneys have joined the defense team. Lane was dressed in an outfit similar to what he wore last week in court an open-collared dress shirt and dark slacks. Prosecutor David Joyce says Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to Chardon High School near Cleveland on Feb. 27 and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table. In addition to the three students killed, three stu-

dents were wounded, two seriously. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, though Joyce has appeared to rule out theories involving bullying or drug-dealing. He has said victims were selected at random and that Lane is someone “who’s not well.” Joyce expects the case to be moved to adult court, where Lane could face life in prison. Minors are not eligible for the death penalty in Ohio, whether they are convicted as juveniles or adults. Lane attends an alternative school for students who haven’t done well in traditional schools. The funerals for the three students began Saturday and continued Tuesday, with the final one scheduled for Thursday.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Ask husband to explain his behavior Dear Annie: "Bill" and I have been married for 43 years. He retired three years ago. We didn't socialize with any of his co-workers, so I didn't know them well. Last Christmas, Bill got a card with no return address. It only had Bill's name on it. I handed it to him so he had to open it in front of me. It was a really nice card from "Betty" and a note telling him how much she missed him, their talks, their lunches and their personal conversations. She suggested they get together for a holiday lunch. When I asked Bill why he never mentioned Betty to me, he said the lunches didn't mean anything and he probably forgot because they were so insignificant. I don't believe him. We have always told each other everything. He put Betty's card on display with the others, but I asked him to take it down since it wasn't sent to us as a couple. He said he'd throw it away because it made me unhappy. But, Annie, my instincts said he was lying, so I checked the trash. No card. The other day, I saw his old briefcase, and inside was Betty's card. He had written her phone number on it. If this card meant nothing to him, why keep it? Why lie to me? I love my husband. I want to trust him. I've never had reason not to, but I'm shaken to the core. Now I pay close attention when he leaves the house and keep track of how long he's gone. Last week, he said he needed to run some errands and was gone for nearly two hours. He claims he ran into "Dave," a former coworker, but I wonder if this was Betty's holiday lunch. I hate feeling this way. My kids say to forget about it before I make myself sick. Are they right? Am I just paranoid? — Card Woes Dear Card: No. Your husband is not being totally truthful about Betty, and this creates suspicion and distrust, both of which undermine your relationship. You need to have a long talk with him and explain why his behavior is hurting you. If he cannot reassure you sufficiently, the next step is counseling. Dear Annie: Recently, my wife and I were in Las Vegas and had a terrible experience at a buffet at one of the top hotels. I sent an email to the manager, and she forwarded it to the executive chef. The executive chef apologized, invited us to dine at any of the hotel's restaurants and suggested the most expensive one. He met us at the restaurant and said to order anything we wanted on the menu, starting with wine. The total bill came to $350. I said we should leave a tip, but my wife (who has a restaurant background) said that when the management invites you, you do not tip. Who is right? — Comped Bill Dear Bill: You are. The waitstaff still had to work to serve you, no matter who paid the bill. Unless there was an added service charge that was then picked up by the owner, the waitstaff should not be penalized because you had a bad experience at another location. Dear Annie: "Hurt in California" felt bad that she called the police on a brother who might be raising children in a neglectful, possibly abusive environment. As a person whose childhood was very similar to that scenario, I would have been rescued many times over if an adult had had the courage to call Child Protective Services. I cringe when I hear my aunts say they still wonder whether they should have done the same, but "didn't want to interfere." Please take the risk of sticking up for those kids. They will remember for the rest of their lives that someone was paying attention. — Shouldawouldacoulda Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Easy tip helps save egg whites for use later Dear Heloise: A hint that I do when I’m doing a lot of baking: When something uses several eggs, I steal an egg white and freeze it to use later in something, like divinity, that uses only the whites. — Helen in Madison, Ala. Helen, this is a useful hint. Readers, here’s how to freeze your egg whites: Break and separate your eggs, making sure there is NO yolk in the whites. Place the egg whites in a freezer-safe container. Make sure to label the number of whites and the date. You even can freeze individual egg whites in an ice-cube tray and then transfer to a larger container. Use the thawed egg whites in

Hints from Heloise Columnist

dishes that you are cooking. — Heloise REMOVING ODORS Dear Readers: There are many different hints you have sent in through the years about removing onion odor from your hands. Here’s a sample of what we have received:

• Rub your hands on anything in your kitchen that is made of stainless steel. • Wash your hands with shaving cream. • Rub salt over your hands and rinse with cold water. • Place a small dab of toothpaste on your fingertips, rub and rinse. • Use lemon, vinegar or a sprinkle of baking soda in your hands to scrub, and then rinse! — Heloise STORING POTATOES Dear Heloise: What is the best way to store potatoes? — Erin M., Hammond, Ind. There are several hints for stor-

ing potatoes. The United States Potato Board states that potatoes should be kept in a cool (45-55 degrees Fahrenheit), ventilated space. Keep them out of bright light, and don’t wash them before storing. Potatoes stored at room temperature will last a week or so, but in a paper bag or perforated plastic bag, the shelf life will be longer. Do not store potatoes in the refrigerator! The starch in the potato converts to sugar, and the green on the skin is a reaction to too much light. Cut away slight greening before cooking. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, March 7, 2012 There is a chance that several people from your past will re-enter your life once again. Those who made you happy and brought you luck before will do so again. However, avoid anybody from yesteryear who made your life miserable. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s to your benefit to be decisive and assertive pertaining to a critical matter. Don’t be afraid to make a bold judgment call if you believe it would work. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Some kind of opportunity of considerable dimensions could develop for you. It has something to do with your finances and might be able to enhance your security. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If there are many players involved but they lack your managerial skills, assume a leadership role and take the reins whether or not you’re asked to do so. The others will appreciate it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you’re in need of some assistance concerning a confidential matter, go to someone close whom you respect, such as a good friend or a family member. They’ll do the most to help. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — As conditions start to change for the better, fresh hope will instill itself in your heart. A beloved friend might be instrumental in bringing this about. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Due to the fact that Lady Luck wants to divert your attention onto something that would be beneficial, it isn’t likely that you’ll be able to dismiss commercial matters from your agenda. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t waste your time and energies on pursuits of little or no opportunity. Go ahead and think in grandiose terms — just don’t be afraid to put the things you conceive into action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you have something of importance to do, you’ll find that you will work far better if you don’t have anyone peering over your shoulders. Seek solitude, not a cheering section. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Dame Fortune is likely to look favorably on partnership arrangements, so don’t impatiently go off on your own simply because you are tired of waiting for others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Co-workers might lack your industriousness, so don’t allow them to distract you from gratifying your ambitions and fulfilling what you want to accomplish. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Just because they like you, certain people are apt to treat you in a far more generous fashion than they do others. Show your gratitude openly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — This might be an especially good time to devote both your mental and physical energies to a huge critical matter that you’ve been afraid to tackle. Desirable results are indicated. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Covington Council welcomes new member BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com

COVINGTON

A new member was welcomed by Covington Village Council at Monday night’s meeting. Council members also learned that steps are being taken to bring the village utility billing system “into the 21st century. Mayor Ed McCord swore in Tim Angle as a new council member. McCord appointed Angle to fill the vacancy left when Chip Shafer moved from the village to take a job in Florida. Angle, 45, is a Covington native. He is a master electrician with the Piqua Municipal Power System.

He and his wife, Cindy, have three children. Bud Weer of the Covington Board of Public Affairs reviewed the board’s plan to implement a new meter reading system. At a cost of $15,000, the board plans to buy two Baggert System hand-held meter reading units capable of reading meters which transmit data by radio waves. Also included in the purchase will be 10 meters that transmit data by radio waves and computer software. Currently, information from the old meters is

Quality Electrical Service

recorded manually and then input into the village billing system. Although the plan is to eventually purchase enough modern meters to do all remote reading of all utility meters in the village, Weer said initially only 10 would be bought to start the conversion. Information from the current meters would be input to the hand-held meter-reading units and then downloaded into the village computer system. “We’re just now getting into the 21st century,” Weer said. The new meter-reading units will reduce the time needed to gather usage data needed for billing.

curb infiltration of stormwater into the village sanitary sewer system. Plans call for the ordinance to prohibit water from downspouts or basement floor drains from flowing into the sanitary sewer system. Weer said the BPA has had guidelines in place to curb infiltration, but there were “no consequences” if the rules were not followed. Village Solicitor Frank Patrizio said he has obtained information from infiltration ordinances in

other communities, including Bradford and Piqua. He will prepare an ordinance for council to consider as first reading at its April 2 meeting. In other business council members: • Agreed to consider final action on a salary ordinance at its March 19 meeting. • Learned that Fire Chief Bill Westfall will review a village disaster preparedness plan prior to the April 2 meeting. The review will begin at 6 p.m.

As part of the process, Weer said the village plans to move to monthly utility billing, instead of the current quarterly billing, a change that is needed. McCord suggested setting July 1 as the target date for making the conversion to monthly billing after first testing the new equipment. Village residents will be advised in advance of the billing change. While Weer was at the visitor’s podium, he also discussed the plan to develop a village ordinance to

End of an era Manning, Colts to part ways INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The — Manning era in Peyton Indianapolis is expected to end today, according to a report. Citing anonymous sources, ESPN reported Tuesday that the Colts plan to hold a news conference to announce the longexpected decision. Manning and team owner Jim Irsay are expected to attend, the network said. C o l t s spokesman Avis Roper said he could not confirm the decision or that a news conference would be held today because Irsay was out of town and MANNING could not be reached for comment. Neither Irsay nor Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, responded immediately to messages left by The Associated Press. Manning has said in the past that all he wanted to do was finish his career in a Colts uniform, but an injured neck forced him to miss all of the 2011 season. “I can’t tell you what an honor it is to go start-to-finish with the same organization here in Indianapolis. That is something I have always wanted to do as a

Memorable ride Trojans in district final after up-and-down year BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Early in the season, Troy was on top of the world. Come January, the grind — and a series of road games — took its toll. Then late in the season, the Trojans lost two starters and were subsequently written off, with next to no one giving them a chance in the tournament. So they simply proved everyone wrong.

Giant killers Vikings face large test in Mohawks BY COLIN FOSTER Sports Writer cfoster@tdnpublishing.com The Miami East girls basketball team ended the regular season with a 19-1 record. And what’s hard to believe is that the Vikings’ record didn’t even earn them a vote in the final Division III state rankings. Since then, the Vikings have outscored opponents by an average of 67.5-31 in four tournament wins, including a 63-39 romp over a Georgetown team in Saturday’s district final — a team that was ranked No. 9 in that final state poll.

Manning ■ CONTINUED FROM 15

AP FILE PHOTO

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning calls out a play at the line of scrimmage during a game in this file photo. Manning, who did not play last year, and the Colts are expected to officially part ways at a press conference scheduled for today.

rookie coming out,” Manning said after signing a five-year, $90 million contract in July. “Of course, you never know if that is possible, but after yesterday it is official that I will be an Indianapolis Colt for my entire career. I will not play for another team. My last down of football will be with the Colts, which means a great deal to me.” But things have changed since last summer. Now it looks like the NFL’s only fourtime MVP, and a former Super Bowl champion, won’t be wearing No. 18 for Indy. With a $28 million bonus payment due Thursday to Manning, his neck problems, and the fact that the Colts own the No. 1 pick in April’s draft, the Colts seem to have deemed it too risky and too pricey to keep the longtime franchise quarterback, who will turn 36 later this month. The twists and turns of a public debate between Manning and Irsay, who have

been friends for more than a decade, created the sense the two had been fighting. Irsay twice issued statements to deny a rift. Still, with the Colts in full rebuilding mode, Irsay has been expected by many to play for the future and let Manning try to chase a second Super Bowl ring somewhere else. The Colts are expected to take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the first pick in April’s draft. Manning’s impending departure marks the end of a remarkably successful era that included the 2006 league title. He started every meaningful game for 13 seasons in Indy, 227 straight including the playoffs, and took the Colts from perennial also-ran to one of the NFL’s model franchises. In the two decades predating his arrival, the Colts won 116 games, one division title and made the playoffs three times. With Manning

taking snaps, the Colts have won 150 games, eight division titles, two AFC championships and the franchise’s first Super Bowl since moving from Baltimore in 1984. Indy broke the league record for most regular-season wins in a decade (115), tied Dallas’ league record for most consecutive playoff appearances (nine) and the success changed Indy from a basketball town to an NFL town. Manning is one of four players with more than 50,000 yards passing, one of three with more than 350 touchdown passes and one of two quarterbacks with more than 200 consecutive starts. The only non-active quarterback with a rating higher than Manning’s 94.9 is Hall of Famer Steve Young (96.8). He broke all of the franchise’s major career passing records, previously held by Hall of Fame quarterback John Unitas, and he may not be finished. In 2009, the star QB had

the Colts on the cusp of history with a 14-0 start. It’s been mostly bad news ever since. The Colts pulled their starters against the New York Jets and lost the final two games that season. Indy then wound up losing to New Orleans in the Super Bowl. During the offseason, Manning had the first of his neck surgeries. Then, after making an early playoff exit in the 2010 season, Manning underwent another neck surgery to repair a damaged nerve that was causing weakness in his throwing arm. But when the nerve did not heal as quickly as anticipated, Manning had two vertebrae fused together in September, a surgery that forced him to miss the first game of his career. There are still questions about how strong Manning’s arm is. Yet he has repeatedly insisted he plans to play football again next season. “My plan hasn’t changed,” Manning said during Super Bowl week.

Duncan powers Tribe Seattle’s Felix Hernandez shuts down Cincinnati, 8-6 GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Shelley Duncan is picking up where he left off last year for the Cleveland Indians. Duncan hit his second three-run homer in three games to lead the Indians to a 3-2 win over a Kansas City Royals split squad on Tuesday. “He’s a bat that at any moment can pop one out,” Indians manager Manny Acta said of Duncan, who had seven homers and 23 RBIs in 26 games in September. Duncan homered in the third inning off reliever Zach Miner, who is working his way back from Tommy John surgery in 2010. Starter Will Smith and Noel Arguelles each worked two scoreless innings for the Royals. Irving Falu, who has 17 homers in eight years in the minors, hit a two-run shot for Kansas City. Duncan has had plenty of power in the minors yet is still seeking a steady job in Cleveland. He has hit 203 homers in 12 years as a pro only 22 in parts of five seasons at the big-league level with the New York Yankees and Indians. With Grady Sizemore sidelined at least two months following back surgery, there’s an opening in the Indians outfield. Acta isn’t even looking for somebody to match Sizemore’s Gold Glove-caliber defense, but is eager to get some right-handed production for a predominantly left-handed lineup that struggled to score last sea-

Kansas City Royals’ Billy Butler (16) is tagged out Cleveland Indians’ Jason Donald when trying to steal third base during the second inning of a spring training game Tuesday in Goodyear, Ariz. son. “Every guy in the big leagues can play left field,” Acta said. “How well (can Duncan), we’ll see. Defense is very important to us because we have a staff of contact pitchers. But at times, you have to give up defense for some offense because scoring has been an issue here.” Kevin Slowey worked two scoreless innings in his Indians debut. Acquired from Colorado in January after being dealt to the Rockies by Minnesota in December, the 27-year-old is looking to bounce back from an 0-8 season with a 6.67 ERA last year for the Twins. Mariners 8, Reds 6 PEORIA, Ariz. — Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez was glad to

pitch in an actual game, even if it was just an exhibition. The 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner struck out four in three hitless innings during an 8-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The Mariners, who open the season on March 28 in Tokyo, have been in camp since Feb. 11, and Hernandez had thrown in an intrasquad game and a simulated contest before making his spring debut. “It was nice, about time,” Hernandez said of facing another team. “First time I’ve been (against) the hitters, and I feel pretty good.” Hernandez hit Kristopher Negron with the first pitch of the game, then retired the next nine bat-

ters. “I don’t know what happened,” Hernandez said about that shaky first pitch. “I tried to throw a back-door sinker. I think it sunk too much.” Mat Latos, expected to serve as Cincinnati’s No. 2 starter, allowed two hits in two scoreless innings in his spring debut. The Reds acquired the right-hander when they traded four players to San Diego in December. “Everything was coming out of my hand real good,” Latos said. “The slider looked real good. The curveball had good bite to it. The fastball was real live. The changeup is in the back pocket. My arm felt great. The delivery, mechanics everything felt good.”

Saints GM, coach admit blame By The Associated Press Almost a week after the NFL pointed to them for failing to stop a bounty program involving some two dozen Saints players, coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis apologized and took the blame for violations that “happened under our watch.” “These are serious violations and we understand the negative impact it has had on our game,” Payton and

Loomis added. “Both of us have made it clear within our organization that this will never happen again, and make that same promise to the NFL and most importantly to all of our fans,” Payton and Loomis said in a joint statement Tuesday. Payton and Loomis also said New Orleans owner Tom Benson “had nothing to do” with the bounty pool. “We acknowledge that the violations disclosed by the NFL during their inves-

tigation of our club happened under our watch. We take full responsibility,” they said. The league’s investigation, released last Friday, said the bounty program was funded primarily by players for the past three seasons and was overseen by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. He admitted to running the program and apologized within hours after the report surfaced.

The NFL said it confirmed Benson was unaware of the program, and that he told Loomis to stop it immediately, but that Loomis did not. The league also said Payton, though not directly involved, was aware of the bounty pool, but did nothing to stop it. Williams now is defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams. He met with NFL security officials on Monday as part of the league’s ongoing investigation.

Mason, Johnson lead Jackets to win COLUMBUS (AP) — Jack Johnson scored his first goal for Columbus, Steve Mason made 38 saves and the Blue Jackets beat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 on Tuesday night for their first three-game winning streak in more than a year. Mason, who struggled all season until recently, has allowed just four goals in two wins over Phoenix

and one over Colorado in the last six days. R.J. Umberger and Derek MacKenzie also scored for the Blue Jackets. Johnson, acquired in the deal that sent Jeff Carter to Los Angeles just before the trade deadline, added an assist. Antoine Vermette and Keith Yandle had goals for Phoenix, which has lost four in a row in regulation,

its longest such skid of the season. The Coyotes have been outscored 14-7 during their slide, which has knocked them out of the lead in the Pacific Division. They started the night in seventh place in Western Conference standings, their margin for error reduced by their recent losses. Mason had 30 saves in a

5-2 win at Phoenix on Saturday night. Columbus last won three in a row against Chicago, Nashville and Phoenix from Feb. 18-25, 2011. The Blue Jackets took their second two-goal lead of the game when MacKenzie converted a wrister from a hard angle early in the second period to make it 3-1.

WGC gaining some traction DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods already has left his own mark in world golf. History will decide what it means. The number that defines greatness in golf is 18. It has been that way since 1986, when Jack Nicklaus won his 18th professional major at the Masters. And it will stay that way unless or until Woods wins the five more majors he needs to pass him. “While he has been gone for 2 years, these guys who have all learned how to play, or all learned how to win, are probably no longer afraid of Tiger,” Nicklaus said. “In my opinion, I still think Tiger will regain what he does. He will come back and play very, very well. Whether he breaks my record is another issue. I still think he will. But he still has to go do it.” If not, Woods might have to settle for another standard. The next step below the majors are the World Golf Championships, and Woods has amassed an amazing record. When he last won a WGC at Firestone in 2009, that gave him 16 world titles out of the 32 he played, an astounding rate of 50 percent. What does that mean? For one thing, he has padded his bank account. Woods has made more than $22.2 million in the WGCs alone, which is nearly 25 percent of his career PGA Tour earnings. His official WGC money is more than all but 25 players have made in their careers. More than money, and more than trophies that probably are packed away in a box, it means that Woods won 16 events against the best players in golf. The fields are small, and they tend to include players from overseas who are just getting started (Louis Oosthuizen) or might never be heard

from again (Shiv Kapur). But for most of their 13year existence, they have included at least the top 50 in the world. The World Golf Championships are still not what they should be. Along with bringing together the best players from all corners of the globe, it would help to take the tournaments around the world. And if they are mostly going to be in America, it would be better to move them to iconic venues instead of merging them with former PGA Tour events, which is what happened at Doral. They deserve a higher status based on the players they attract and the winners they produce. Hunter Mahan joined elite company two weeks ago when he won the Match Play Championship and became only the sixth player to win multiple WGC events. The others are familiar names Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Geoff Ogilvy and Darren Clarke. Martin Kaymer won the HSBC Champions last November and became the 10th player with a WGC title and a major. He joined Woods, Mickelson, Els, Ogilvy, Clarke, Mike Weir, Stewart Cink, David Toms and Vijay Singh. The WGC event this week at Doral used to travel to Europe every other year until 2006. Woods has won it six times on six courses in four countries. That gives it a little more punch than winning the Bridgestone Invitational seven times, all at Firestone. “I think Tiger gave them credibility by winning 14 of the first 20, or whatever it was. He won almost every one of them,” Ogilvy said. “If you do look at the list of guys who have won them, generally, at that time they were one of the best in the world.” That’s because the best in the world are there.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 Giant killers may be the perfect description of what a win over Madison would represent. Miami Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size has been a big reason for its success this season. In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district win over Georgetown, the East bigs dominated as Trina Current (27 points), Ashley Current (12) and Abby Cash (12) combined to score 51 out of 63 points for the Vikings. On paper though, the Madison front line stacks up pretty well against East. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put on a clinic in the district final,â&#x20AC;? Elifritz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about their size. They go 6-foot-2, 6-0, 5-11, 5-10 and 5-10. Overall, their starting five is taller than ours. This Madison team is very wellcoached. Coach Rossi was named the Southwest District Coach of the Year. We just need to be disciplined and do the little things to be successful.â&#x20AC;? One thing Miami East

then the Trojans lost four out of five and fell to 8-5, and they had to battle their way into the final two weeks of the season. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when it happened. Two of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one a point guard and the other a strong presence in the post â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were suspended due to a violation of team rules, leaving Troy without two seemingly-key components of its lineup and 11-6 with three games to go in the regular season. It proved to be the biggest turning point for the team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not in the way anyone thought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like we came together,â&#x20AC;? senior Cody May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew what we had to do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; work hard, hustle, do everything we could to win games. I knew, as one of the leaders on the team, we could get through it. But I knew it would be tough.â&#x20AC;? Troy has won seven games in a row â&#x20AC;&#x201D; six since the suspensions. The Trojans also won the Greater Western Ohio Conference North division championship outright, closing it out with two division victories without the suspended players. Then they beat division rival Butler for a third time this year in the first round of the sectional tournament, held off Fairborn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a team that had crushed them by 23 while the Trojans were still at full strength â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the second round and beat Lebanon for a second time to win the sectional title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get back to district with the group weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got, especially after everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through, is really special,â&#x20AC;? junior Tyler Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get there last year was great, especially getting as many minutes (coming off the bench) as I was. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to help keep it alive for the seniors.â&#x20AC;? May and Miller have been the leaders since the suspensions, scoring 17.8 and 16.2 points per game, respectively. But Troy also wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be where it is now without contributions from everyone else on the roster. Seth Lucas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only other remaining starter from the beginning of the season still in the lineup, along with May and Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been thrust into the point guard

may have over Madison is tournament experience. Several girls who play on the basketball team enjoyed tournament success in the fall as members of the volleyball team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which won the Division III state title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the soccer team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which also reached the regional round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sports programs were great this past fall,â&#x20AC;? Elifritz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls soccer team was district champ. They have regional experience. The volleyball team has regional experience. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a testament of the type of people we have at East. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of that instinct. Our kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to lose. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been down before, and we always fought back. It can be as ugly as ugly can get. But when the buzzer rings, if we can be on top, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that matters.â&#x20AC;? The Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regional semifinal game kicks off at 8 p.m. tonight at Springfield High School.

Since then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been averaging close to double figures in scoring and roughly four assists per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been trying to make sure I find the guy with the hot hand, run the show and get us into our offense,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make it tough for the other team to get into their offense, and then make it easy for my teammates.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a change for Jordan Price, as well. Price has started all six games since the suspensions after starting out the season coming off of the bench, and while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made some big

shots, his biggest play arguably was a steal in the closing seconds of Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sectional semifinal win over Fairborn that sealed the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been great for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got my opportunity, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve came to shine,â&#x20AC;? Price said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then on the nights where I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done as well, my teammates have been able to pick us up.â&#x20AC;? Kelley Kirtz has also been put into the starting lineup, but he got some starts earlier in the season while Miller was out with a brief injury. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s averaged double digits in points, as well, even after returning from his own suspension. In addition, Kirtz hit the game-winning shot in

Troyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Butler to open tournament play. Troy lost 80-70 to Withrow in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Trojans havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten. Now, faced with Fairfield â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an 18-5 No. 8 seed that upset No. 1 LaSalle 35-30 in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sectional final â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they just want to show that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a roller coaster, but even after everything, our goals havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to us to get another opportunity (at winning the district),â&#x20AC;? May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We remember what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to lose it, too. We know that feeling, and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get beat again.â&#x20AC;?
