Edison administrator dismissed

BY WILL E SANDERS Ohio Community Media wsanders@dailycall.com

Executives leave Komen

An Edison Community College administrator was discharged from her position earlier this month following a school investigation that found her actions did not constitute a criminal offense, the college’s president and the police said.

Former Vice President of Institutional Advancement Terri

PIQUA L. Jacomet was dismissed March 1 after allegations of impropriety surfaced and were later examined by school officials, according to Edison President Dr. Cristobal Valdez.

Valdez refused to provide additional details of the alleged wrongdoing, citing the college’s policy to not discuss personnel issues, but said he could “confirm nothing

that went on was a criminal offense.”

Valdez and members of the college’s board of trustees contacted the Piqua Police Department when they first learned of the allegations to decide if a criminal violation or violations occurred, said Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison.

Jamison said he asked school officials to do a couple of things in an attempt to determine whether any laws were broken, but investigators soon learned none had been

broken.

“I recommended to them a couple of things to check on to determine if there were any criminal violations,” Jamison said. “Based on what they found, it was clear that there were none.”

Jacomet had been with the community college since the late 1990s and had served in her most recent position for the last six years, Valdez said.

At least five high-ranking executives with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity have resigned in the aftermath of the organization’s decision to eliminate its funding for Planned Parenthood.

The departures include three officials from Komen’s Dallas headquarters, as well as CEOs of affiliate groups in Oregon and New York City.

Board slashes fees

Public not sure who to blame

Transportation costs cut in half

Families canceling vacations. Fishermen watching their profits burn up along with their boats’ gasoline. Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time because they can’t afford to fill the tank.

From all corners of the country, Americans are irritated these days by record-high fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gallon in some states and could top $5 by summer. And the cost is becoming a political issue just as the presidential campaign kicks into high gear..

Work continues on the new Adams Street bridge Thursday as temperatures return again into the 80s.

Bridge project on track NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Mother Nature has certainly been cooperative for construction of the Adams Street Bridge. But Miami County Engineer Paul Huelskamp said it’s too soon to tell if the revamped bridge will in fact be completed early.

“They have been able to work more now that the weather’s been decent,” Huelskamp said. “But the weather could go bad and put us back a month. We don’t want to get everyone’s hopes up.”

Plans began in 2007 to replace the ailing two-lane bridge, which was erected in 1923 and utilized by more than 10,000 vehicles a day.

Construction kicked off in mid-June

TROY 2011 and is expected to be complete

by November.

The new bridge will include both utilitarian and aesthetic enhancements.

Motorists, byclists and pedestrians alike are expected to enjoy the design’s two 24-foot-wide vehicular lanes, a 12-foot-wide bike path and a 5-foot-wide sidewalk for pedestrians.

The bike path and sidekwalk will be raised about a half foot above the roadway for added safety.

“At this point, I think the public perception is good,” Huelskamp said, adding that construction has provided a learning opportunity for the community to see how a bridge is built.

Two pairs of ornate markers will be attached on the bridge, with one pair describing the bridge’s historical significance and another listing the city of Troy’s mayor, council members, county commissioners, design consultant, general contractor and county engineer at the time of completion. A third marker dedicating the new bridge may be included.

The project is expected to cost $9 million, which was offset by $7.1 million in federal grants and a $988,000 Ohio Public Works Commission grant.

A $10 per license fee for Troy residents was orginally instated, but city council eliminated the fee effective Dec. 31.

The Troy Strawberry Festival will take place on West Main Street this year because of bridge construction.

Bales to be charged with murder

WASHINGTON (AP) — Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder, assault and a string of other offenses in the massacre of Afghan villagers as they slept, a U.S. official said.

The charges are to be read to Bales on Friday. He is being held in a military prison at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and faces trial under the 6 74825 22406 6

Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The killings were yet another blow to U.S-Afghan relations, following a series of missteps, including the accidental burning of Qurans, which prompted violent protests and revenge killings of American troops in the war zone.

The brutal shooting rampage also prompted renewed debate in the United States about health care for the troops, who have experienced record suicide rates and high rates of post-traumatic stress and brain injuries during repeated deployments over a decade of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bales was on his fourth tour of duty, having served three tours in Iraq, where he suffered a head injury and a foot injury.

Bales’ civilian attorney, John Henry Browne, has portrayed his client as a patriot, loving father and devoted husband who had been traumatized by a comrade’s injury and sent into combat one too many times.

“I’m not putting the war on trial,” Browne has said, “but the war is on

trial.” He added: “If I can help create a discussion about the war, that would be a great way for me to go out.”

Army officials have said Bales was cleared for return to duty after his head injury.

Bales joined the Army in 2001 after a Florida investment business failed and after he had worked with a string of securities operations. Bales and a broker at one company were hit in 2003 with a $1.5 million arbitration ruling after an elderly couple charged that their holdings were decimated.

After nearly a year of transportation fees of $110, the Miami East board of education approved to slash that fee in half after the community passed its 1.75 percent earned income levy last November.

According to Superintendent Dr. Todd Rappold, the board approved to reduce its transportation fees for all extracurricular activities from $110 to $55 beginning next fall. Rappold also said the district will continue with its single bus route to save money in fuel costs.

“The single route saves us money,” Rappold said.

Rappold said the single route has worked well for the district this past year.

Santorum calls out Romney Refers to him as an Etch A Sketch SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday compared rival Mitt Romney to an Etch A Sketch toy and said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn’t the GOP nominee.

Santorum’s point is that former Massachusetts Gov. Romney is not conservative enough to offer voters a clear choice between him and Obama in the fall.

Santorum argues that he is the true conservative who can provide that contrast.

“You win by giving people a choice,” he said during a campaign stop in Texas. “You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in there.”

“If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future,” Santorum • See SANTORUM on Page 2

added.

Santorum’s reference was to Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom’s comment Wednesday that “everything changes� for the fall campaign. “It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch,� he said on TV. “You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.�

The remark reignited criticism of Romney as the type of politician who will say or do anything to win.

Romney, who made no public appearances Thursday, issued a statement expressing disappointment “that Rick Santorum would rather have Barack Obama as president than a Republican.� “This election is more important than any one person. It is about the future of America,� he said. “Any of the Republicans running would be better than President Obama and his record of failure.�

During his speech to employees of USAA, a San Antonio-based insurance and financial services firm, Santorum briefly held up an Etch A Sketch and said his positions don’t change like etchings on the toy, which are erased with a shake.

He could be seen fiddling with the toy’s knobs in the intervals between questions from audience members.

Addressing reporters afterward, Santorum lit into Romney for saying “I’m going to run as a conservative.� “He didn’t say ‘I am a conservative.’ He said ‘I’m going to run as a conservative. So what do you do, you just sort of decide what you’re going to be for the elections?�

Santorum asked. “No one can accuse me of that.

The single route also will mean the district’s students will continue to have a common schedule, although Rappold said the start and end times of the school day may change slightly. The start and end time changes will be announced at a later date.

The board also approved to implement an ECalamity Days memorandum of understanding between the board and the Miami East Association of Support Professionals.

The E-Calamity Days would allow the district to conduct class electronically for no more than three days if the district exhausts its five days allowed by the state.

Rappold said each build-

ing is exploring how they will go about its ECalamity Day program such as packets sent home in the fall for elementary students and older students using the district’s website to complete work.

Rappold said the students would have up to two weeks to complete the work if an E-Calamity Day is needed in the 2012-2013 school year.

The board also approved a resolution to grant Walnut-Grove Learning Center to once again operate an after-school latchkey program at the elementary for students for two years.

The next board of education meeting will be held at 7 p.m. April 16 at the high school’s lecture hall.

U.S. OKs Egypt aid despite congressional concerns WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration told Congress on Thursday it will waive democracy requirements to release up to $1.5 billion in aid to Egypt despite concerns that the country is backsliding on commitments it made to democratic governance and rule of law.

U.5 officials and lawmakers said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has determined that it was in the U.S. national interest to allow $1.3 billion in military assistance to flow. She also certified that Egypt is meeting its obligations to the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, which frees up an additional $200 million in economic aid, they said.

OBAMA A senior State Department official said the decisions “reflect our overarching goal: to maintain our strategic partnership with an Egypt made stronger and more stable by a successful transition to democracy.�

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because congressional notifications are not complete. Clinton will sign the waiver on Friday, the official said.

U.S. officials had said last week that Clinton was poised to grant the waiver because she could not certify that Egypt was in full compliance with the democracy requirements of law.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, who wrote the legislation imposing conditions on the aid, said he was “disspointed� by the decision. “I know Secretary Clinton wants the democratic transition in Egypt to succeed, but by waiving the conditions we send a contradictory message. The Egyptian military should be defending fundamental

freedoms and the rule of law, not harassing and arresting those who are working for democracy,� the Vermont Democrat said in a statement.

While disappointed, Leahy urged Clinton to release the money in stages and make payments based on improvements in the situation in Egypt. Leahy is the chairman of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees foreign aid and operations.

All of the $1.3 billion in foreign military financing is obligated to pay U.S. defense and security companies for contracts they have to supply equipment and support for the Egyptian military. Unless Clinton had issued a certification or waiver, those contracts could have been abrogated. The State Department official said there would be significant fees and penalties due to canceled contracts.

Egypt, once a stalwart U.S. ally in the volatile Middle East, has been in the throes of transition since the overthrow of longtime authoritarian president and one-time U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak was ousted a year ago.

Worried by the potential rise of a new authoritarian leadership, U.S. lawmakers moved to condition American aid on the government’s democracy and human rights records.

In December, Congress made military assistance to Egypt contingent on a determination that the government “is supporting the transition to civilian government, including holding free and fair elections; implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association and religion and due process of law.�

The implication was that it’s OK. I realize some people will always use curse words, but I am surprised the Troy Daily News would publish such an article. Schools discourage foul language, and I think newspapers should also. When I was younger, I heard it said that cursing came from those who had an inadequate vocabulary to express themselves. One of the 10 Commandments is: Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD in vain.

Let’s accentuate the positive. Our culture has too much negativity. May each one help to make the world a little better place to live. Maybe some better words would help.

Also, nearly every day there are articles about sexual misconduct on the front page. I would prefer they be farther back. Accentuate the positive.

May the Lord help us to be positive and to teach the good things of life.

The Associated Press reporting in recent months uncovered an unfathomable program in which the city police department monitored and built databases on where Muslims live, buy groceries, worship and recreate.

It infiltrated dozens of mosques and student groups at universities from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to Connecticut.

It crafted profiles of Moroccans, Egyptians, Albanians and other ethnic groups. It took actions that within the FBI would require the highest approvals.

Deepwater Horizon rig exploded 40 miles southeast of the Louisiana coast, triggering the largest oil spill in U.S. history.

Despite the loss of 11 human lives and devastating injuries to workers, billions of dollars of economic losses in states on the Gulf Coast — including Florida — and harsh environmental damage that is still being measured, energy companies are aggressively drilling and exploring deep waters off American shores.

Recently, The New York Times reported that all exploration and production will soon surpass the levels sustained before the April 2010 explosion and subsequent oil spill.

The United States imposed a moratorium on Gulf production after the BP well exploded, a special commission investigated and the Obama administration took significant steps to improve regulations.

But the effectiveness of those rules has yet to be tested by harsh reality, and history provides few reasons to be confident about the safety of drilling in extremely deep waters.

Despite the uncertainty that remains and the warnings of additional spills, politicians — including President Barack Obama — are fighting a public relations battle to show how aggressively they support expansion of deep water drilling.

All the while, there is little movement in the U.S. or Florida toward fuel-saving conservation policies and development of alternative energy sources.

DOONESBURY

I like both types of music: country and western I really don’t know where I get my love of all things country music.

I grew up on a farm, and one would think we would have had country music on the radio playing all the time.

My sister and I grew up listening to “The Big One” 700 WLW. That’s right — AM radio. Even as we got older, we actually were brainwashed to the point where we even preferred it. Who were the New Kids on the Block? It was more like “Where’s The Gary Burbank Show?”

Maybe 700 WLW wasn’t exactly suited for elementary aged children at times, but at least we weren’t exposed to horrific music acts of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s like Wilson Phillips or something like that.

I love Bill Cunningham; what can I say?

And I can probably thank “The National Station” for my weird and sometimes off-color sense of humor. I suffer from acute sarcasm and I believe AM radio is to blame. That and British comedies on PBS. My childhood exposure to both PBS and WLW can explain why I

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist am the way I am today. And I’m OK with that. Amen.

So because I grew up on talk radio my whole life, that probably explains why I get so excited when I head out to any musicfilled festivity.

There’s a beat. There’s a band.

There’s no political agenda (except for Toby Keith)! There’s more than three voices going on at the same time in harmony and unison!

Last night I joined one of my best friends Jani, her mom Jody and her best friend Brenda to head to the Nutter Center for the Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert.

Luke was just here in October at Hobart Arena. You can’t get any closer than that, folks. What

a great show. Luke’s press people e-mailed me an apology for not being able to come to Conover while he was in town, and that’s OK. We’ll get together next time I’m sure.

Over the years, I’ve refined my skills to accommodate all the fun and antics a night on the town with friends can bestow.

1. Find a designated driver.

Now, you’d think this would be a no-brainer. Well, because it is. We had ours set for the night. And it wasn’t me for a change! A few years ago, I was the DD for a night at Country Concert. And I got pulled over. And I got warned to slow down. And I didn’t get a ticket because I was on my best behavior. And I’m not that great of a driver sober, let alone, any other time. Play it safe, folks.

2. Always be prepared.

Designated driver, check. Advil, check. Large container of water, check. Enough cash to get me bailed out of jail, check. Just enough cash to get out of jail, but not so much that if I lose it I’d be evicted, check.

3. Getting off the grid.

Looking at the text messages you don’t even remember sending

isn’t fun. Trust me. Luckily I took the time last night to delete all the phone numbers out of my phone to prevent embarrassing text messages or Facebook status updates such as “Luke Bryan’s sweat just landed on me and I’m never washing my wrist again!”

My 70 year-old aunt doesn’t want to read that. Well, neither do I. 4. Take a vacation day the day AFTER the concert. You forgot to take the Advil, you didn’t drink enough water and your best friend is mad at you because you called her to rub it in that you met two of country music’s super stars backstage. She didn’t bail you out of jail. That’s what the vacation day is for my friends. Maybe we’ll get it right next time!

I had a great time last night! I can’t wait for the next one either here in Troy or out of town!

Cheers to the weekend, my friends!

Remains identified as kidnapped teacher BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana community shaken by the kidnapping of a popular high school math teacher finally got some closure Thursday, as authorities identified a body found in neighboring North Dakota as missing teacher Sherry Arnold.

The discovery raised the possibility of new charges against two men being held for aggravated kidnapping in the case, although none were immediately filed.

The defendants also could face potential federal prosecution since Arnold’s body was apparently taken across state lines.

The remains of the 43-year-old mother of two were recovered Wednesday near Williston, N.D. That’s about 50 miles northeast of Sidney, the Montana town where Arnold lived and worked most of her life.

She was kidnapped at random Jan. 7 during a morning run in Sidney and choked to death, according to court documents. The two suspects were arrested a week after Arnold’s disappearance. The search for her body dragged on for another two months.

Family members and those who knew Arnold had become increasingly anxious for her body to be found to bring the case to some resolution.

Arnold’s sister, Rhonda Whited-Rupp, said Thursday the family was being com-

forted and supported by friends and others in Sidney affected by the loss of the wellknown teacher.

“That’s the only thing that gets anybody through. We’re all in this together,” Whited-Rupp said. “We just kind of hang on to one another and keep praying.”

Suspects Michael Spell, 22, and Lester Van Waters Jr., 48, have pleaded not guilty to aggravated kidnapping in the case and await trial.

The FBI declined to disclose details on where the body was found or what led them to the site.

Authorities previously said Spell tried to lead FBI agents to the site in past weeks but failed. Spell is illiterate, and his father has said he has less education than a kindergartner.

Thse state charges against Spell and Waters can carry the death penalty if the victim is not released unharmed. A similar federal charge could also carry a death penalty upon conviction.

Court documents filed by the prosecutor in the case indicate Spell acknowledged his role in what an affidavit described as the crack-fueled abduction and killing of Arnold.

Spell told investigators he pulled her into a car and Waters choked her to death before they buried her in a shallow grave on a farmstead near Williston.

Unhappy public not sure who to blame for high gas LOS ANGELES (AP) — Families canceling vacations. Fishermen watching their profits burn up along with their boats’ gasoline.

Drivers buying only a few gallons of gas at a time because they can’t afford to fill the tank.

From all corners of the country, Americans are irritated these days by recordhigh fuel prices that have soared above $4 a gallon in some states and could top $5 by summer. And the cost is becoming a political issue just as the presidential campaign kicks into high gear.

Some blame President Barack Obama. Some just cite “the government,” while others believe it’s the work of big, greedy oil companies.

No matter who is responsible, almost everyone seems to want the government to do something, even if people aren’t sure what, exactly, it should or can do.

A Gallup poll this month found 85 percent of U.S. adults believe the president and Congress “should take immediate actions to try to control the rising price of gas.” An Associated PressGfK poll last month showed 71 percent believe gas prices are a “very” or “extremely” important matter.

Houston died from drowning, coroner says LOS ANGELES (AP) — Whitney Houston was a chronic cocaine user who had the drug in her system when she drowned in a hotel bathtub, coroner’s officials said Thursday after releasing autopsy findings that also noted heart disease contributed to her death.

The disclosure ended weeks of speculation about what killed the Grammy-winning singer on Feb. 11 on the eve of the Grammy Awards.

Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and her death was ruled accidental.

Several bottles of prescription medications were found in her hotel room, but coroner’s officials said there weren’t excessive quantities.

“We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure,” Patricia Houston, the singer’s

sister-in-law and manager, wrote in a statement to The Associated Press.

Beverly Hills police said in a statement there was no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with Houston’s death.

Coroner’s Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said cocaine and its byproducts were found in Houston’s system, and the drug was listed as a contributing factor in her death.

He said the results indicated Houston was a chronic cocaine user.

Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system.

Houston died just hours before she was scheduled to appear at producer Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards bash.

The singer also had a heart disease that caused blockages in her arteries. Assistant Chief

“

We are saddened to learn of the toxicology results, although we are glad to now have closure.

— Patricia Houston

”

Coroner Ed Winter said the condition is common in drug users, although he said it wasn’t clear whether Houston had a heart attack on the day she died.

“It just beats up their heart and they will go to use and they will have a heart attack,” he said.

The exact amount of cocaine in Houston’s system was not disclosed Thursday but will be contained in a full autopsy report to be released in about two weeks,

officials said.

Family and friends said after Houston’s death that they didn’t believe she was still abusing drugs.

“I don’t think drugs was an issue for her before her death. I don’t know what happened that day,” Patricia Houston said in a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Houston, 48, was buried in a New Jersey cemetery next to her father after an emotional fourhour funeral service that was attended by friends, family and superstars such as Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and Roberta Flack Houston, a sensation from her first, eponymous album in 1985, was one of the world’s best-selling artists from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, turning out such hits as “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” ”How Will I Know,”

”The Greatest Love of All” and “I Will Always Love You.” But as she struggled with drugs, her majestic voice became raspy, and she couldn’t hit the high notes.

Interest in her music skyrocketed after her death, pushing her songs back on to charts and into heavy rotation on the radio.

She influenced a generation of younger singers, from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey, but Houston’s drug use derailed her career and took a heavy toll on her once pristine voice.

But by the end of her career, she was a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming. Her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances.

She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills and was eventually unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime.

Executives leave Komen after funding controversy Eliminates support of Planned Parenthood which was resign from the board. But to support the mission … I rejoined the board.”

News emerged in late January that Komen had decided to stop giving money to Planned Parenthood for breastscreening services because Planned Parenthood was the focus of a congressional investigation launched at the urging of anti-abortion activists. After a three-day firestorm of criticism, Komen decided to restore the money.

Some Komen affiliates, including McDonald’s, were among those that publicly opposed the policy change that cut off grants for Planned Parenthood.

In the days after the reversal, Komen policy chief Karen Handel resigned.

She had opposed abortion as a Republican candidate for Georgia governor and had become a target of those angry about the decision to halt funding to Planned Parenthood.

“Despite our deep frustration about the distraction that our organization headquarters’ actions caused, I was proud that our affiliate took a strong stand against the politicization of the fight to improve women’s health,” McDonald said in a Feb. 25 statement posted on the organization’s website.

One board member for McDonald’s affiliate, Portland attorney Jennifer Williamson, rejoined the board after stepping down last month to put pressure on the national organization. She couldn’t walk away from the local Komen work to expand access to women’s health care, she said.

DALLAS (AP) — At least five high-ranking executives with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity have resigned in the aftermath of the organization’s decision to eliminate its funding for Planned Parenthood.

The departures include three officials from Komen’s Dallas headquarters, as well as CEOs of affiliate groups in Oregon and New York City. Although some of the executives cited personal reasons, the resignations suggest that Komen is still in turmoil, even after reversing course and restoring the money to Planned Parenthood.

Komen spokeswoman Leslie Aun said she could not speak to individuals’ reasons for leaving but acknowledged the effects of the controversy among supporters.

“Obviously, we know some folks are upset. We’ve certainly seen that,” Aun said. “We know people have been upset by recent events, but most really do recognize the importance of our work.”

The resignations began about a month ago. Chris McDonald, executive director and chief executive of the organization’s Oregon and southwest Washington affiliate, announced that she’ll leave at the end of April. She said her decision wasn’t “predicated by any one event,” but that actions by national headquarters

AP MOVIE REVIEWS THE HUNGER GAMES: Fans should be satisfied with director Gary Ross’ adaptation of the first of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling trio of novels about Katniss Everdeen, the independent, 16-year-old heroine fighting for survival in a futuristic, fascist society. The script adheres rather closely to Collins’ book — no surprise there since she cowrote it with Ross and Billy Ray — although it does truncate some of the subplots that provide its greatest emotional heft as well as soften the brutal violence of the games themselves, ostensibly in the name of securing a PG-13 rating. Still, the makers of “The Hunger Games” have managed the difficult feat of crafting a film that feels both epic and intimate at once. And Jennifer Lawrence is an ideal choice to play Katniss. She has a startling screen presence with her natural beauty, instincts and maturity beyond her years, yet there’s a youthful energy and even a vulnerability that make her relatable to the core, target audience of female fans. A post-apocalyptic version of North America has been divided into 12 districts. Every year, a teenage boy and girl from each are selected randomly at the “Reaping” and sent to the opulent, art deco Capitol, where they’re made over, trained and primed to fight each other to the death until one is left standing in the sprawling arena. When Katniss’ younger sister, Prim, is chosen from District 12, Katniss volunteers in her place.

Josh Hutcherson co-stars as Peeta, the baker’s son and her male counterpart, with Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks among the strong supporting cast. PG-13 for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images — all involving teens. 142 minutes.

Three stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic THE FP: One gets the sensation while watching this low-budget ’80s parody that a bunch of people went trolling at a vintage clothing store one day, found some moon boots, acid-washed jean jackets and neon tank tops and decided to make a movie about them. “The FP” makes fun of several genres — dance movies, underdog sports flicks, glossy action pictures — and mixes them together in an attempt at kitschy cult infamy. But rather than crafting a movie that’s so bad it’s good, writer-director brothers Jason and Brandon Trost have come up with something that’s just plain bad — and boring, and repetitive. Once you get past the initial laugh factor of the hideous retro trappings, there isn’t much left. The predominately white characters talk in the sort of co-opted, clunky hip-hop slang that might have worked for a little while in a sketch but soon grows tiresome. As an attempt at social commentary, this approach feels half-baked; as comedy, it just feels numbing. In a futuristic wasteland known as “The FP” (actually the Southern California mountain town of Frazier Park), a turf war is raging between trash-talking dance gangs. Jason Trost stars as JTRO (pronounced JAY-tro), who loses his older brother, BTRO (Brandon Barrera), in a deadly “Beat-Beat Revelation” video game showdown with their gold-toothed rival, L Dubba E (Lee Valmassy). A year later, JTRO is dragged out of hiding to avenge his brother’s death in a rematch. R for pervasive language, sexual content, some nudity and brief drug material. 83 minutes. One star out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic THE RAID: The film speed of 24 frames-per-second barely outruns the relentless pace of pummeling that thumps through this Indonesian martial arts flick. The Welsh filmmaker Gareth Huw Evans has mined the Indonesian fighting style of Silat, which he first sought out to document and then fictionalized in the little-seen 2009 film “Merantau.” ”The Raid” is fashioned as a prequel to “Merantau,” but story doesn’t have much to do with it. A 20member SWAT team storms a dilapidated, monolithic, 15story high rise in Jakarta, where a crime lord (Ray Sahetapy) has created an impenetrable lair. The siege is immediately overmatched, locked in a maze of grimy hallways and surrounded by encroaching gang members. A rookie on the force, Rama (Iko Uwais, who also choreographed the fighting), proves a particularly good and inventive fighter. Small amounts of backstory bleed out of the action, but there’s little propelling things beside the simple kinetic kick of the film’s video game-like plot. The claustrophobia of the film’s dingy, byzantine corridors could be taken for a metaphor for omnipresent corruption, but any such thought evaporates in the never-ending flurry of combat. R for strong brutal violence throughout, and language. Indonesian with English subtitles. 100 minutes. Two stars out of four. — Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

Mother’s behavior is not healthy for her son

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy

Dear Annie: I have been best friends with "Lisa" for more than 25 years. We are both single mothers. Her 16-year-old son, "Dean," is friends with my 17year-old son, "Jon." I have begun to notice that Lisa is overly attached to Dean. When we go somewhere after work, she says she can't stay because Dean wants her home. He'll call or text that it's time for her to leave, and she happily complies. She asks Dean for permission before going anywhere on weekends.

Jon has been accepted to a few out-of-state universities, and I am excited about him living on his own. Lisa, however, says she is going wherever Dean goes, and right now, he wants to join the army. She found a master's program for the military that she can finish by the time he graduates, and she can then live wherever he's stationed — for his entire military career. When I jokingly said his future wife would love that, she replied, "Who says he's getting married?"

I know it's not my business, but I remember when one of Lisa's boyfriends broke up with her. I witnessed breakdowns, depression and stalking. I would not like to see her go through that again. Is it my place to say anything? If so, what? — Worried Friend Dear Worried: Lisa is an extreme helicopter parent, and it's terribly unhealthy for the child.

And Dean knows he controls the relationship. We know it's not Lisa's intention to stunt Dean's development out of selfishness and possessiveness. It's OK to talk to her about a child's need to become independent and how parents should not deprive the child of this progress toward maturity.

But the two of them are rather enmeshed right now, and there's not much you can do. We hope Lisa finds the perspective to realize the emotional damage she could do to their relationship.

Dear Annie: I cannot believe the gall of some of the retired people in my area. Some white-haired old guy actually tried to muscle his way in front of me in the grocery checkout line today. My items were already on the belt, and the people in front of me were paying when I looked up and this old white-haired guy behind me says, "I'm just going to go in front of you" — not "May I?" or "Would you mind?"

Just because you are retired or old does not give you the right to do whatever you want. I was on my lunch break. My time is just as important as yours, and you probably have more of it than I do. You should be offering to let the working people of the world go in front of you. After all, we support your butt by paying Social Security taxes — something that probably won't exist when I retire. — Hermitage, Penn.

Dear Hermitage: Feel better now? Retired people have already worked hard and paid their share of taxes, so let's not get into that argument. And we hear the same complaints about stay-at-home moms and people with flexible work schedules, but those folks might also have restrictions on their time.

Here's our best suggestion: No one should be rude to others or expect to jump the line. Those who can manage, please try to go at less busy times to banks, post offices and other places that are only open during business hours.

The rest of you, please be tolerant.

Dear Annie: "Steve in Ohio" says his wife wants to name their son after his "Aunt Jordan." I am a 96-year-old male who was saddled with a gender-neutral name.

I detested it and found it embarrassing to introduce myself to new people.

When I went away to school, I adopted a masculine middle name, and as an adult, I finally made the middle name legal.

Please don't give kids screwball names. They are the ones who pay for it in the future. — Empathy for Jordan Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

What is the proper way to safely clean a wedding dress?

Dear Heloise: I have an antique, handmade wedding dress that needs to be cleaned.

Since there are no tags, what would you suggest I wash it in? It looks like mostly lace, sheer and taffeta. — Rhonda, via email Rhonda, how lucky you are!

Since you don’t know what all the materials are, your best bet is to take it to a professional dry cleaner who has experience with heirloom garments and understands antique materials. I’d hesitate to try to “wash” it, especially since there are different types of materials.

There probably are several

Hints from Heloise Columnist cleaners in your area who can take care of it and check for needed repairs.

If you would like to find out ways to store a wedding gown yourself, order my pamphlet Heloise’s Bridal Gown Hints and More. To receive one, send $3, along with a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope, to: Heloise/Bridal,

P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Be sure to store your gown in a cool, dry place.

Periodically, check the garment and refold with a different crease so one place doesn’t wear and weaken. — Heloise CORD CLARITY Dear Heloise: I am always mixing up the cords to my computer and unplugging things I don’t mean to. I take the square, plastic package closures from bread, label them and place them on the cords near the power strip. I now no longer have to search to try to figure out which cord is which.

— A Reader, via email TRAVEL HINT Dear Readers: As a fan of homemade dressings, storebought vinaigrettes just aren’t the same.

When traveling by RV or going to a picnic or other outing, the glass containers may not survive the trip. Here’s a “neat” hint: Pourer necks such as those on wine bottles also can fit in small or large plastic soda bottles.

Put the dressings in a plastic bottle, then use the pourer when it is time to dress the salad. You also can put oil in one and vinegar in the other.

— Heloise

HOROSCOPE Friday, March 23, 2012 Partly due to the influences of two entrepreneurs who are likely to be entering your life in the year ahead, you’ll be far more enterprising and resourceful than you’ve been in the past. You’ll thrive on doing things their way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Strong determination and fierce boldness make you a force to be reckoned with.

Apply this strength to a specific objective and there will be no doubt about achieving success.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — In your own unpretentious but bold way, you’ll get far more done than those who strut and boast about their big intentions. Tenacity is your secret strength.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — One of your best means for achieving success is your ability to see positive elements in all situations, regardless of the negatives involved. You’re likely to put this quality to good use.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — In order to accomplish your aims, you’ll need to be far more assertive than usual. Fortunately, you’ll instinctively know how much pressure to apply without looking pushy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’re likely to have exceptionally strong opinions, and you won’t be bashful about expressing them either. Woe betide those who try to stand up and oppose your views.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although you’re in an excellent cycle as regards earning capacity, it won’t be so when it comes to handling your funds. Take care not to spend everything all at once.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your strong inner resolve could make you more overpowering than you intend when dealing with others. Guard against inclinations to dominate everything and everybody.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unless you use your time industriously and productively, your feelings of selfworth will be greatly diminished.

Make sure that whatever you engage in has purpose and value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If your social life has been exceptionally boring lately, it may be time to look for new playgrounds as well as new playmates. A change would do you good, as the song says.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When you’re unhappy, you tend to take it out on your loved ones, who accept your rude behavior with little consequence to you. However, think about what you’re doing to them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you find your usual activities to be a bit boring, seek some close pals who are stimulating thinkers. Using your mind can be more exciting than engaging in physical activities.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Temporarily shelve mundane activities and make this a profitable day by seeking out objectives that are of a financial or material nature. You could do quite well for yourself.

of shifting underground, it may take a while for whatever is causing it to play itself out,” he said Caruso, the U.S. Geological Survey scientist, said Tuesday’s event was confirmed as an earthquake because it registered on six different seismometers, including some as far as central Iowa.

Jolene Van Beek, 41, had been jarred awake several times by latenight rumbling this week.

When asked by telephone Thursday whether she thought the noises were caused by an earthquake, she joked that she was at a nearby lake “waiting for the tsunami to hit.”

“Anything to do with earthquakes is going to freak people out,” she said.

event as a swarm of several small earthquakes in a very short time.

“In other places in the United States, a 1.5 earthquake would not be felt,” she said. “But the type of rock Wisconsin has transmits seismic energy very well.”

The U.S. Geological Survey says earthquakes with magnitude of 2.0 or less aren’t commonly felt by people and are generally recorded only on local seismographs.

Caruso said the Tuesday earthquake was discovered after people reported feeling something, and geologists pored through their data to determine that an earthquake did indeed strike.

Local residents have reported late-night disturbances since Sunday, including a shaking ground and loud booms that sound like thunder or fireworks.

City officials investigated and ruled out a number of human-related explanations, such as construction, traffic, military exercises and underground work.

Clintonville resident Jordan Pfeiler, 21, said she doubted an earthquake caused the noises.

She said the booms she experienced were in a series over the course of several hours and not continuous as she might have expected if they were caused by an earthquake.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A minor earthquake occurred this week near the eastern Wisconsin city where researchers have been investigating a series of unexplained booming sounds, federal geologists said Thursday.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 1.5-magnitude earthquake struck Tuesday just after midnight in Clintonville, a town of about 4,600 people about 40 miles west of Green Bay. Geophysicist Paul Caruso told The Associated Press that loud booming noises have been known to accompany earthquakes.

It’s possible the mysterious sounds that town officials have been investigating are linked to the quake, he said.

Earthquakes can generate seismic energy that moves through rock at thousands of miles per hour, producing a sonic boom when the waves come to the surface, Caruso said.

“To be honest, I’m skeptical that there’d be a sound report associated with such a small earthquake, but it’s possible,” he said.

Those reservations didn’t stop Clintonville City Administrator Lisa Kuss from declaring “the mystery is solved” at a news conference Thursday evening.

She said USGS representatives described the

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Leading by example Veteran Trojans ready for season

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Troy won’t lack leadership this season — even after losing a large group of seniors.

It’ll just take a different form.

“Last year’s seniors were great. They were tremendous leaders, vocal leaders. They’ll be hard to replace — and we haven’t tried to,” Troy coach Ty STAFF FILE PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER Welker said. “These seniors are Nathan Helke, the Troy Trojans’ leading hitter last season, will be different this year. They lead quiback this year to anchor the team’s lineup. etly, lead by doing.”

MIAMI COUNTY And among Troy’s nine returners from last year is plenty of run-scoring potential.

“All of our big bats are back.

We return a lot of offense this year,” Welker said.

Key among those bats is senior Nathan Helke, who led the team with 34 RBI, hit a number of game-tying or game-winning home runs and hit .543.

“That’s legit,” Welker said of

Spartans fall flat First No. 1 ousted from tourney

Badgers miss shot at Orange C.J. Fair broke out of a scoring slump with 15 points and top-seeded Syracuse held on — thanks to a pair of Badger misses late — for a 64-63 victory over fourth-seeded Wisconsin on Thursday night in the East Regional semifinals.

See Page 18.

PHOENIX (AP) — Gorgui Dieng swatted away the West Region’s top seed to send Rick Pitino into another regional final.

Chane Behanan scored 15 points and Dieng anchored Louisville’s stifling defense with seven blocked shots, helping the Cardinals knock off top-seeded Michigan State 57-44 Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals.

Louisville (29-9) smothered the NCAA tournament’s bestshooting team with its matchup zone, getting good pressure from its guards up top and some big swats by Dieng, one of the nation’s top shot-blockers.

The Cardinals relied on 3point shooting in the first half and went inside the second to befuddle the Spartans, earning a trip to the West final against Marquette or Florida on

Saturday.

Michigan State (29-8) started slow and never got going against Louisville’s amoebic defense, shooting 28 percent while being outscored 20-14 inside by the leaner Cardinals.

Dieng finished with five points, nine rebounds and had three steals. Peyton Siva overcame a rough shooting night four points on 2-of-9 shooting with nine assists.

Draymond Green had 13 points and 16 rebounds in his final game for Michigan State and Brandon Wood added 14 points.

This sweet matchup of top programs featured two of college basketball’s best short-preparation coaches.

III state semifinal game on Thursday at Value City Arena.

Finfrock, who started 13 games during the 2010-11 season, has come off the bench all season long for the Eagles, going 18 for 42 from the field — 12 for 33 from 3-point range — and has scored 54 points, a 2.2 pointsper-game average. Last season she averaged 4.3

■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Final Four five times, becoming the first coach to lead three different schools to the national semifinals. Once past the NCAA tournament’s first week, he’s had a knack for guiding his team farther along the bracket, advancing to the regional final all 10 times he’s gotten a team to the semifinals.

Tom Izzo has been supremely consistent in 17 years at Michigan State, building teams that can handle the rigors of the Big Ten or switch to greyhound mode when the opponent plays fast.

He’s been as consistent as any coach in the game, leading the Spartans to the Final Four six times, including the 2000 national title, and 10 trips to the regionals round the past 15 years.

Izzo played the right hand the last time these two basketball brains met, taking the Spartans to the 2009 Final Four after they found a way to break Louisville’s pressure.

Pitino had something up his sleeve this time.

With Michigan State bogging the game down, the Cardinals struggled early, missing 12 of their first 13 shots. They snapped out of it by hitting 3s.

Africentric (22-4) trailed 51-50 but worked for the winning shot before Wildermuth grabbed a loose ball and was fouled by Fuquan Tucker.

Africentric missed a pair of

After the foul shots, Tucker and Trevon Saunders had attempts that hit the rim before time expired.

Jackson Center trailed by as many as 15 in the first half before Wildermuth’s trey with 4:58 left in the game tied the score at 46.

BOSTON (AP) — Syracuse will be playing for a spot in the Final Four because of numbers.

C.J. Fair put up some like he hadn’t in a while, and the Orange finished with offensive statistics that Wisconsin just doesn’t allow in a 64-63 victory in the East Regional semifinals Thursday night that wasn’t secure until the final buzzer.

“Offensively we played very, very well and we had to play very, very well,” coach Jim Syracuse Boeheim said.

Fair finished with 15 points five fewer than he had in the last six games combined on 7-of-9 shooting. The Orange scored 11 more than the Badgers allowed on average in leading Division I. Syracuse shot 55 percent from the field, well above the 38.5 percent Wisconsin gave up this season, and the Orange were 5 of 9 from 3point range, much better than the 28.8 percent the Badgers allowed.

All those numbers mean the Orange (34-2) will play Ohio State or Cincinnati in the regional final Saturday with a trip to New Orleans at stake.

“I can’t tell you how good it feels to win a game like

Wisconsin’s Rob Wilson, front, and Syracuse forward C.J. Fair, rear, scrap for a loose ball in the second half of an NCAA tournament East Regional semifinal game Thursday in Boston. this,” Boeheim said. “This was a great, great game.”

And it wasn’t decided until Wisconsin’s Jordan Taylor missed a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left. Josh Gasser corralled the rebound but his toss toward the basket was off at the buzzer.

“It was on line, and I felt like I got my legs into it,” Taylor said. “I knew it was a deep 3, but it felt good, and then to see it kind of come

up short was kind of heartbreaking.”

Kris Joseph, a 75 percent free throw shooter, had missed the front end of a 1and-1 with 18 seconds to go with Syracuse up by a point, giving the Badgers (26-10) a chance at the victory.

Passing the ball around the perimeter of the zone but not creating much space, Wisconsin had to settle for Taylor’s shot.

“We were just trying to get an open shot and try and make them rotate in the zone,” Taylor said. “We did a little bit, but they did a good job of recovering to open guys there.”

The Badgers finished 14 of 27 from 3-point range but couldn’t make one over the final 6 minutes after a stretch in the second half when they made six straight in as many possessions.

always hits and Greenville has a new coach. I think it will be us, Piqua and Butler.”

But after last season’s runrule exit from the tournament at the hands of Springboro in the second round after a bye, the Trojans loaded up the schedule this year to toughen the team up for a lengthier run.

“We’ve got a daunting schedule this year.

Doubleheaders against Centerville and Fairmont — our schedule is not an easy one. And that’s OK,” Welker said. “We were a little defensive in the tournament last year. We don’t want to go in already back on our heels.

“I want a team that can be ready for a playoff run, seeing good competition and the best pitching throughout the year.”

Troy kicks off the season Saturday at Springfield Shawnee.

• Tippecanoe The Tippecanoe baseball team doesn’t have a lot upperclassman returning this season. What the Red Devils do have, however, is deep pitching staff — and that could take it a long way.

“The last two years we have lost seven starters each year, but we’ve been able to replace them,” Tippecanoe coach Bruce Cahill said. “We are very young this year with only two seniors — but I feel this is the best pitching staff we have had in years.”

Tipp is loaded in the pitching department. Sophomores Ben Hughes and Cameron Johnson will look to be the aces of the staff this season.

Hughes had a 5-1 record and a 1.39 ERA as a freshman, while Johnson went 5-0 with a 1.44 ERA. Also in the rotation will be senior Nick Muse — who went 4-2 and had a 1.52 ERA last season — Steven Calhoun, Cole Quillen and Austin Clack, along with junior Carter Langdon.

“Carter Langdon returns from an injury and gives us a big boost,” Cahill said. “Carter is 6-foot-4 and throws in the 80s. Ben Hughes and

Cameron return after a year when the combined to win 10 games as freshmen.”

Four players are expected to be vying for the catching position in juniors Zach Robbins, Brad Mullins and Kyle Peura, along with sophomore B.J. Donathan.

In the infield, Johnson will be at short, Langdon will play at third and first, Hughes — who batted .492 last season — will play at third and in centerfield and freshman Zack Blair will play second. Junior Austin Hadden is expected to be in left, while senior Henry Scott — who hit .292 last season — will play in right. Clack and Quillen will also compete for time in the outfield.

“We are coming off of 24-5 and 25-5 seasons the past two years,” Cahill said. “We are also coming off a district championship. Expectations are high once again, even though we lost seven starters and our No. 1 pitcher.”

• Miami East After putting together a 16-game winning streak last season, many of the same players are back for the Miami East Vikings.

“We believe we have to play hard every game,” Miami East coach Barry Coomes said. “We can’t look ahead. We won 16 games last year and that’s not easy to do. You have to have a lot of luck — and you have to work hard.”

Luke Clark and Garrett Mitchell return to bolster the Vikings pitching staff. They were the No. 1 and No. 2 pitchers last season, but Mitchell will also see time at catcher. Bradley Coomes, Colton Bowling and Michael Fellers will get time on the mound, so will lefty Jacob Hawkins.

Coomes will play second base, Colton Bowling will be at first or third, with Brandon Kirk at shortstop and Kevin McMaken is also going to see time at first or third.

Clark and Fellers will be in the outfield when not pitching, with Logan Durand taking right field. Evan Bowling,

Alex Browes will also be vying for time in the outfield.

• Troy Christian Troy Christian brings back an load of experience from its sectional final team last season — and there’s more talent on the horizon despite a continued numbers struggle.

“We have four seniors — and they’re all starters — but we also have nine freshmen and 19 total kids,” Troy Christian coach Bill Campbell said. “Three of those freshmen are going to contribute quite a lot on varsity, and we’re pretty excited about that. We’re hoping the numbers stay up. We’ve got a lot of young kids playing together already.”

Leading an experienced pitching staff will be senior ace Michael Seagraves, with Daniel McGillivary and Ben Morrow also back and Elisha Simms, Alex Patterson and Luke Gaskell also getting work. Seth Manuel and Taylor Kolker will catch.

Morrow will play at third base, David Diltz will play short, McGillivary will play second and Patterson and Seagraves will split time at first. Nathan Kirkpatrick will anchor the outfield in center, Gaskell will patrol left and Christian Willis will play right.

“We want to win the conference and go farther than any other Troy Christian team in the tournament — those are the goals every year,” Campbell said.

• Bethel Brett Brookhart returns in season No. 12 at the helm of the Bethel Bees baseball program. And back in the saddle with Brookhart comes a wealth of experience from the 2011 team — including seven seniors.

“With seven seniors this year, we return a lot of experience,” Brookhart said. “We feel we can compete in the upper part of our league.

Dropping back down to Division IV is a plus for us, and we believe with contin-

points per game, had 28 steals — second-best on the team — and 52 assists — fourth-best on the team.

Shaw (28-6) defeated Rollins 87-71 to reach the title game, with three separate players posting double-doubles in the game.

The game will be televised on the CBS Sports Network and will also be shown on NCAA.com.

■ College Basketball

Spartans Jared Swopshire and Chris Smith each dropped one in and, even Dieng 0for-2 in his career previously got one to go in.

Swopshire closed it out with a 3 from the corner to put the Cardinals up at halftime.

23-15 Louisville was 7 of 15 from the arc in the half, but got almost nothing inside, hitting 1 of 15 shots from 2-point range.

Michigan State couldn’t seem to hit anything from anywhere, going 6-for-22 from the field, 2-for-9 from the arc.

Louisville shifted gears to open the second half, getting two layups and a dunk to keep its cushion.

Swopshire followed with an alley-oop to Siva for the point guard’s first points, then stole the inbound pass to set up two free throws by Russ Smith that put the Cardinals up 35-25.

Michigan State managed a short run to get within four, but Louisville used its pressure to get a couple of steals and baskets to go up 43-32. Dieng followed with a couple more swats one on Keith Appling that sailed into the stands to keep the Spartans from making a run.

Louisville outscored Michigan State by six inside and had a 17-4 advantage off the bench.

■ Baseball

Baseball ■ CONTINUED FROM 17 Helke. “He was first team allarea last year, and he’ll definitely anchor our order. He also had zero errors at first base last year, and he will also pitch — and throws hard.”

Joining him in the infield will be fellow seniors Nick Antonides at third base, Thomas Harvey at second and junior Dylan Cascaden at shortstop. Seniors Devon Alexander, Jordan Guillozet and Jordan Price and junior Devin Blakely will see time in the outfield, and junior Ian Nadolny will take on the catching duties.

Senior Alex Potchik joins the team after playing mainly JV last year. Juniors Cody Fuller, Jay Swigard and Cam Weaver also will make the move to varsity, and sophomores Joey Benson, Zack Kendall, Ben Langdon and Kevin McGraw will round out the roster.

Helke, Antonides and Alexander bring the most varsity pitching experience to the staff, and Fuller, Weaver, Kendall and Langdon will all be looking to find their roles.

“If we have a question mark, it’s our pitching rotation, especially our starters,” Welker said. “I think we have the arms, we just don’t know where they’re all going to fit in. We’re going to have to lean on our sophomores a bit, I think.

“Devon and Nick were mainly relievers last year, and they have to get more innings.

Offensively, we’ve improved.

Defensively, we’re solid. If we can throw strikes, we’ve got the big bats to back them up.”

Going into the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division portion of the schedule, the Trojans know who to aim for.

“I think Butler is the team to beat — not just in the league, but in the area,” Welker said. “They’re definitely going into the season favored to win it.

“Piqua was improved last year and returns quite a few starters, as well, Sidney

ued improvement throughout the year we can make a nice tournament run. I have been very happy with the work ethic so far. With the weather cooperating so far this spring we feel that we will be prepared for a successful season.”

Senior Jon Ellerbrock returns to the mound after posting a 4-1 record with 48 strikeouts and an ERA of 3.60 in his junior year. Also expected in the Bees rotation are Luke Veldman, who had a 2-2 record in 2011, Joe Serrer, who was 1-1 last season, and sophomore Jordan Elam.

At catcher will be Colin Hoke, who had a batting average of .377, along with three homeruns and 20 RBIs last year. Also in the infield is four-year letterwinner Joe Zimmerman at second base.

The senior hit .304 last season, while Serrer will be at shortstop. Expected to be at third is sophomore Jimmy Pelphrey In the outfield are seniors Ellerbrock and Dustin Myers, who hit .350 last season, as well as Elam.

• Newton In its third rebuilding season after going a year without a baseball program, the Newton Indians return nine letterwinners and are looking to reach the .500 mark or better for the season.

“We’re still young, but we expect a .500-plus season,” Newton coach Gregg Carnes said. “The kids are working hard and working well together. We had a successful summer season, and we hope to build on those accomplishments.”

The Indians returns an experienced — yet still young — pitching staff, including sophomore Cody Alexander, who pitched 43 innings and had two complete games last year. Also back are an experienced pair of juniors in Rob Maxwell and Mitchell Hussong, and sophomores Logan Welbaum and Brian Schwartz will also pitch — with Schwartz and Maxwell also catching.

Junior shortstop Gavin

Alexander brings back his .449 batting average and will anchor the lineup, with Welbaum at third, Dain Peters at second and Hussong and Cody Alexander at first.

Luke Stull — the team’s lone senior — juniors Rick Webb and Brandon Delcamp and freshmen Dustin Coate and Tyler Denlinger will compete for the outfield spots.

• Covington Mitch Hirsch returns to coach the Covington Buccs this season. The Buccs’ top two pitchers will be senior Steven Blei — who will also play third — and Austin Angle. The catcher position will be a battle between two juniors and a sophomore.

Sophomore Justin Williams will be at third, while junior Bryton Lear is at shortstop, junior Sheldon Rank will be at second and junior Ryan Craft is at first.

The Buccs have six different players vying for the three outfield spots.

“We lost some good players from last season, but we have a good group coming back and a good freshman class coming in,” Hirsch said.

• Bradford Shane Snyder is back as coach for Bradford — which returns one senior from last season.

“We’re still a young and inexperienced varsity team,” Snyder said. “But we have a strong core of new and upcoming talent. We have very high expectations for the varsity and reserve team. We are excited to compete.”

The top pitchers for the team are expected to be sophomore Brandon Wysong and junior Austin Lear.

Newcoming hurlers include juniors Luke Hafer, James Canan and Jake Cline.

The top infielders include Bryce Arnett at second and Brandon Wysong. The team will have an all new outfield with newcomers Hafer, Canan, sophomore Daniel Cassel and freshman Craig Wyan all expected to battle for spots.
