City explores revenue options Finance committee recommends street light assessment

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Check out this week’s iN75

The Troy finance committee agreed to move forward with a recommendation April 30 for imposing a street light assessment for non-tax exempt parcels, as a means to increasing revenue. A

TROY budget analysis at the end of last year revealed a projected General Fund deficit of $1.1 million by 2016.

The city has already utilized other measures to trim the budget, including reorganization of enti-

ties such as Miami Shores Golf Course, not filling staffing vacancies and hiring part-time or temporary work rather than full-time, said director of public service and safety Patrick Titterington.

“The lowest hanging fruit has been picked, and it’s becoming more and more difficult as we endeavor to maintain the same

Flames damage Troy Sports Center Chamber, festival offices forced to move

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Despite the rancid smell of smoke and fire damage to its storefront, it will be business as usual for Troy Sport Center’s customers and vendors.

On Tuesday, owners Fred and Carol Middleton said the store still is working to fill orders, and have obtained equipment and materials for uniform and other special orders made prior to a Monday morning fire.

“We still got uniforms to get out there this weekend,” said Carol on Tuesday as she and her husband Fred stood outside the back entrance of the store surveying the damage as insurance investigators combed through the aftermath in the dark.

Estimates of smoke damage from the fire is estimated at more

TROY than $350,000 for both the building and its contents.

Owners Fred and Carol Middleton both said they were thankful no one was injured in the fire, which caused heavy smoke damage to the contents of the store they’ve owned since 1987.

“They tell us its going to take about six months to remodel so we plan to relocate somewhere downtown until everything is redone,” Fred Middleton said.

They said they are still working on a retail location as well as restoring the store’s phone number for orders.

The early Monday morning fire was so hot it melted plastic hangers and even plastic baseball helmets on the second floor loft of the store.

According to officials, it may take more than a month to determine what caused the fire at Troy Sports Center.

According to Troy Fire Department’s Assistant Chief Gary Stanley, the initial cause of the blaze is believed to be electrical, although the cause has yet to be confirmed.

The fire was contained to the first floor of the sporting goods store, although the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce and Troy Main Street organizations closed their offices Monday due to smoke damage. The Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, along with the Strawberry Festival offices, will move to 315 Public Square, Suite 216, above Bake House Breads for four to six weeks, according to a press release.

The cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious, according to Stanley.

State alleges Kramer twice had an unlawful interest in a public contract

having an unlawful interest in a public contract.

At a pretrial hearing on Monday, a judge scheduled a trial date of Aug. 7 for Kramer, who no longer holds that position at Edison after retiring during the summer of 2010.

Kramer is not being held in jail and is out on a recognizance bond.

Following an investigation by the Ohio Ethics Commission earlier this year, a Miami County grand jury secretly indicted Kramer, who also is an area playby-play sports radio broadcaster

That’s why Jason Moore has continued to be the captain of the the Miami County Sheriff’s Office’s Relay For Life team the last six years.

The sergeant in the Detectives Section said he watched his mother suffer through three bouts of melanoma, followed by liver cancer and eventually a brain tumor. In 2006, she would lose her fight

According to the indictment, Kramer allegedly committed the first offense between Jan. 25, 2008, though June 27, 2008, and the second offense between Dec. 5, 2008, through March 13, 2009.

Kramer allegedly committed the offenses while he held his position at the community college and “was involved with obtaining media contracts (for Edison) when he had an interest in an agency from which he was associated with,” said Terry Lewis, assistant

Members of the Tipp City Council, school board and township trustees met Monday night to discuss current plans and projects, including the upcoming school levy, road construction, and the search for a new high school principal.

“One of the biggest things going on in our district, or any district (is) when you are hiring a new high school principal,” said Superintendent John Kronour, noting that Tippecanoe High School Principal Chuck Wray will be retiring at the end of October.

According to Kronour, the district received more than 50 applications for the position. Of those applicants, 13 were selected for an interview process that got under way Monday.

The field will be further narrowed down to a group of four or five before those candidates will meet with

Tipp woman to face child endangerment charges

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com A Tipp City woman was arraigned Tuesday charged with two counts of “endangering children — while operating a vehicle” after being pulled over by the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office on April 29 in Troy.

Taryn Gee, 23, of Tipp City, was pulled over for marked lanes violation at the

TROY intersection of Merrimont and MonroeConcord Road at 6:58 p.m.

According to sheriff ’s reports, when the officer requested her license and registration, Gee cracked open her window only a few inches to provide the officer with identification.

As the officer returned to his vehicle, he observed several empty beer cans, as

well as an unopened 12 pack of Budweiser, on the floor in the back seat.

Also in the back seat of the car were two small children. The grandfather of the children picked them up from the scene.

Gee refused to submit to field sobriety tests but submitted a Breathalyzer test and registered a blood alcohol reading of 0.227 percent. Ohio’s legal limit is 0.08 percent BAC. After submitting to the breathalyzer test, Gee asked the officer to “take it

Titterington said. If a separate light fund were not created, Titterington said the assessment would still be distinctly classified in the general fund.

Councilman Bobby Phillips questioned the logic behind recommending an assessment rather than a levy in which citizens vote. Titterington said he is unaware of anywhere else in the state that has used a levy for the same purpose.

Troy resident Mike Burkholder asked how the money would be collected with an assessment. Titterington responded that the county auditor will place the assessment on the property tax bill, although it is not a property tax.

Burkholder also asked whether the assessment would go toward paying the electrical staff. Titterington said the three individuals on the electrical staff do not handle street lights and therefore revenue would not go toward salaries.

Any increase in the assessment amount of $42.12 would have to be reconsidered after the five-year period, to end in 2017.

Kendall read the timeline for establishing the streetlight assessment, as established by the Ohio Revised Code.

“We want to be sure to get this in the record so that everyone knows this is going to be a long process,” Kendall said.

The procedure for establishing the streetlight assessment must be complete by Sept. 10, which is the deadline for certifying assessments to the Miami County auditor.

The resolution of necessity introduced May 7 will have three readings, followed by two announcements in the Troy Daily News in which public opinion is sought. An ordinance to proceed will then be introduced Aug. 6, with a total of three readings.

minimum staffing level to maintain services,” Titterington said.

Under the recommendation, each parcel will be assessed $42.12 every year, or $3.51 a month, to cover lighting along city streets, alleys and other public places.

Titterington stressed that the process is still in its early stages and public opinion will be encouraged throughout. Legislation will be introduced at the next city council meeting May 7.

Finance chairman Tom Kendall asked if the streetlights could simply be turned off, but Titterington said that option would likely pose a safety issue. Kendall also asked about the possibility of turning off every other light, but Titterington said the savings would be slight with a still significant safety issue.

City engineer Deborah Swan commented that the city’s street lights are not spaced close enough to make that a viable option, as turning off every other one would result in significant blackout sections.

John Schweser of the Finance Committee asked how apartments and condos would be accessed. Swan responded that a condo is often one parcel of land, while a condo is multiple. A city-wide assessment could alternatively be conducted by square footage or lineal footage, but assessing equally by parcel was deemed the most equitable method.

In response to another question from Schweser, Titterington reassured the committee that money collected would go to the appropriate source.

“It’s about a $3- to $4-million project, but the city’s cost of it is less than $80,000,” Vath said.

Most of the project will be funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation.

New diamond style ramps will replace the old cloverleaf style ramps. A new traffic light will also be added. The southbound entrance will be constructed first and the existing ramps will remain open for the duration of construction.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in early June and one ramp is expected to be complete by November.

The district now has its own board with five members, which is now in the process of selecting an engineering firm for future projects.

Question: Did you attend the Troy Chamber of Commerce Business Expo?

Watch for final poll results in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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

PERSPECTIVE

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

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

ANALYSIS

Student loan agreement?

It’s not quite that simple WASHINGTON (AP) — In the political campaigns still taking shape, President Barack Obama, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and lawmakers of both parties say they want to protect college students from a sharp increase in interest rates on federally subsidized loans.

Agree, they might, and act they surely will. But first, they settled effortlessly into a rollicking good political brawl.

In less than 72 hours, what might have looked like a relatively simple matter mushroomed into a politically charged veto showdown that touched on the economy and health care, tax cuts and policies affecting women. Accusatory campaign commercials to follow, no doubt.

“This is beneath us. This is beneath the dignity of this House and the dignity of the public trust that we enjoy,” protested House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio as he and Democrats both maneuvered for position.

Evidently not.

“It shouldn’t be a Republican or a Democratic issue. This is an American issue,” Obama said in North Carolina last week as he broached the topic of legislation in a move to gain support students in the fall election. He urged his listeners to tweet their lawmakers and urge them to block an increase in interest rates on federally subsidized loans issued beginning July 1.

There was partisan pop behind Obama’s message, though.

Over two days of campaign-style appearances on college campuses, he quoted one unnamed Republican lawmaker as saying she had “very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there’s no reason for that.” Another GOP lawmaker likened student loans to “stage three cancer of socialism,” he said. Both Republicans quickly said they had been quoted out of context.

Within a day, Romney told reporters he agreed on the need to prevent the rate increase, while conceding nothing to Obama in the search for political advantage. “I support extending the temporary relief on interest rates for students,” he said, and cited “extraordinarily poor conditions in the job market” in a jab at the president’s handling of the economy.

Congressional Democrats announced they would write legislation to prevent a doubling of the current 3.4 percent interest rate, and cover the $6 billion cost by requiring more wealthy individuals to pay Social Security and Medicare payroll tax.

It was a not-so-subtle reprise of a campaign perennial, the allegation that Republicans want to cut programs benefiting those who aren’t rich to protect tax cuts for those who are.

“Let’s be honest,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. “The only reason Democrats have proposed this particular solution to the problem is to get Republicans to oppose it, to make us cast a vote they think will make us look bad to the voters they need to win the next election.”

He then accused Democrats of wanting to pay for the legislation “by raiding Social Security and Medicare, and by making it even harder for small businesses to hire.”

Democrats noted that the Republican-written budget included no provisions to block the increase in the interest rate. It was evidence, they added, that if the GOP had its way, the cost of borrowing would double soon. Two conservative groups, the Heritage Foundation and the Club for Growth, both opposed the change, but only about 30 GOP House members voted against it.

The Democratic charge brought a rebuttal from Boehner, who said at midweek that the Republican-controlled House would vote quickly to prevent the interest rate from rising. “The issue is not a partisan issue,” he said, echoing Obama on one point. “No one here expected interest rates would go up in the fall.”

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Wisconsin State Journal, Madison, on federal budget deliberations: Instead of touting an unrealistic Democratic budget plan in the face of an unrealistic Republican budget plan, Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., just did something significant — and responsible.

Unfortunately, he’s also leaving Congress.

That made it a lot easier for him to do the right thing, rather than what’s politically expedient during this hyper-partisan election year.

Conrad, who leads the Senate Budget Committee, deserves

credit for pushing the bipartisan Bowles-Simpson deficit-reduction plan.

The move surprised many in Washington. And it provides more attention to and momentum for the only fiscally-sound budget plan so far that’s bipartisan enough to pass.

It would slow soaring budget deficits to stabilize national debt.

It would control spending on entitlements by, for example, raising the Social Security retirement age over time. It also would trim defense spending and close tax loopholes.

Conrad, who was a member of the president’s debt commission

headed by former Clinton White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming, isn’t going to force a vote on his package. That’s disappointing.

Conrad’s high-profile move to offer Bowles-Simpson as a formal resolution is nonetheless welcome as another small step toward fiscal sanity. …

America needs more leaders unafraid to do the right thing even when they’re facing re-election.

That also means we need more voters willing to support leaders who value workable solutions over partisan games.

DOONESBURY

Cap City here I come, with everyone else It’s here. The big race week is here again. You can always tell. There must be a smell in the air and a high energy level because race week is always filled with 100 percent more excitement, anticipation and nerves than any other.

I’ve trained for months now. And while I had a few weeks that were not my best, I’m still looking forward to this race. I got so focused on the timing and logistics that I lost sight of the fact that I am doing this race for so much more. I’m doing it for so much more than myself and for so much more than my own health.

Friday night I will head over to the expo to get my race day packet, and something that I have never had before — ribbons. My ribbons will be honoring my family and others’ families that are battling cancer and those who have lost the fight.

I have so many ‘thank you’s’ to get out after the race is over. My fundraising experience was so humbling, and it showed how so many people can come together for a great cause when they can all relate. From co-workers to family, friends, co-workers of my mom’s and people I haven’t talked to in years, the donations shocked me and made me smile every time they came in. I will be forever grateful to each and every one of you! I promise to do my

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist best to make you proud as I honor your family, friends and loved ones!

Not surprising to anyone in the county anymore I don’t think, but I have been super emotional this week from all of it. One reason is I am more connected to this race than my last, both mentally, physically and emotionally. Two, this time around I have been so incredibly blessed to be with a number of different people in the running world to train with and just come to know as friends from Up and Running to various town groups and individuals.

I made the decision to join Team (G)Race of the First United Methodist Church here in town. I will never go back to always running by myself and I will never train on my own again.

That group of people has been such a blessing to me. My running buddy

Casie and I couldn’t be any crazier, but she is such a blessing. She is an inspiration and an incredible woman of God. Brett and Cynde have done so much to organize all of it and as I have reconnected with old friends and made new I can’t help but be aboundingly appreciative to them for all they have done with the team. Brett wrote an article on the team page that made me cry. He talked about the journey and why we run — to glorify God — and it was just a little piece of perfection in my eyes. Brett, thank you so much for the times you have stayed back with me on the days I struggled.

Casie, thanks for pushing me on some days and everyone else, just thank you. Thank you for being there, thank you for being part of an amazing thing and thank you for the support.

We are all going to do so great this weekend, so good luck to all of you!

This time around, it was like I had someone stepping up and asking me to run, holding me accountable and more than anything, just wanting to spend time together as we prepared ourselves for our big days. My new friend Tiffany and I have a blast in the mornings. My friend Britt and I have fun in the evenings and intermixed in was my friend Christen. It got to the point where I mixed up my schedules

and intermixed conversations. It was bound to happen, but it was worth it.

My relationships have become so much richer, so much more meaningful. It’s not just about going out and running. It’s about taking the time to get together and as we run, we catch up on life, give advice back and forth and share life with each other.

This may not be my best race, it could be my best, but it’s certainly not my last. And as I was reminded by numerous people along the way, it’s not about the results. It’s about the journey, and having fun. As I was thinking about my race this week, I immediately was blasted with an “inspirational quote” from one of my previous managers, Michelle.

“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.”

To everyone who ran last week in surrounding areas and to everyone running this weekend, good luck!

Katie Yantis appears in the Troy Daily News every Wednesday. A special thanks to Kevin for his special gift to me this week. I am humbled and so appreciative!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Try to stay in touch with your daughter Dear Annie: Our daughter is 42 years old and divorced. For the past two years, she has been seeing "Matt." We accepted him and welcomed him at our numerous family gatherings.

Several weeks ago, our daughter drank too much at a party and ended up in bed with another man. Needless to say, Matt became quite angry. But he went into a rampage. He threw bricks through her car windows, punched her in the eye and showed up at our doorstep to cuss her out. He also confronted her kids.

We strongly advised her to end the relationship. But after Matt calmed down, he apologized, went for court-ordered counseling and now attends AA. So our daughter has started seeing him again.

We totally disapprove of this relationship, but she has asked us to accept this guy again and welcome him to our family gatherings. We don't want him near us.

It sounds like Matt is trying to do the right thing, but we can't forget what happened. We worry about her constantly when she is with him, in case he loses his temper again. How should we handle this?

— Concerned Parents Dear Concerned: You don't have to approve of Matt in order to have a relationship with your daughter, and it is important that you stay in touch with her. It is not mandatory that you welcome Matt into your home, but please arrange to meet your daughter in other locations. If Matt abuses her again, she will need to know you are close by and available.

There are men who have managed, through hard work and counseling, to find healthier ways to handle their anger, and we certainly hope Matt is one of them.

Please urge your daughter to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for information (thehotline.org), and to give Matt plenty of time to prove himself before she becomes too entangled.

Her life may depend on it.

Dear Annie: A year ago, my teenage daughter, "Shawna," had a new friend spend the night. The next day, Shawna discovered her new friend gave her head lice. We treated it and told her friend to do the same.

The problem is, this friend keeps giving lice to my daughter.

We know it's her because it only happens when this particular girl spends the night or Shawna goes to her house. In between, there are no outbreaks. My daughter has missed several days of school, and I have bought countless treatments, sprayed the house, and washed and disinfected everything.

I have talked to the girl's mother, who claims she's doing everything possible, but Shawna says she only vacuums.

I told Shawna there will be no more visits with this girl until her parents figure out how to get rid of the lice. Isn't it time for Shawna to find a new best friend? — At My Wits' End Here Dear Wits' End: They can still be best friends over the phone and online for the time being.

We suspect someone else this girl regularly comes into contact with is causing repeated infestations. The parents should carefully check every person in their home (including themselves) and talk to their pediatrician.

Dear Annie: Your advice to "Stepped On," whose volunteer organization suffers from a rude and abusive supervisor, left out an important option.

She and her colleagues should document instances of unacceptable behavior with details, dates and times, and present the facts in writing to the board, pointing out how the behavior harms the organization by alienating both volunteers and potential donors, two crucial resources.

They also should document their efforts to get the supervisor to correct his behavior. They should be willing to sign their letter and be prepared to leave if no corrective action ensues. — Don't Put Up with it in Hawaii Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Hold the pasta until you’re ready to add it to the soup Dear Heloise: I read your hint about adding rice, noodles or macaroni to “stretch” soup to make it more of a meal, and I had to pass along my suggestion.

Cook the rice or pasta separately, then add it to the soup at serving time.

This accomplishes several things. First, if you cook the rice or pasta along with the soup, it absorbs the liquid.

You can keep adding water to the soup, but it will just get thicker and thicker.

Keeping the rice or pasta separate allows you to control the thickness and flavor of the soup.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Also, if you have little ones, adding cooled or cold pasta or rice will cool the soup quickly to a manageable temperature.

Love your column! — Chris in Monmouth, Maine Good hints, Chris, and you’re right — this is a good

way to control the amount of “soup,” too.

Soup can be a delicious, quick dinner.

Add salad and some bread, and your meal is complete.

Want to try some of my favorite soup recipes?

All you need to do is send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Soup, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Make a large batch of soup and either share with family who live nearby or with neighbors, or freeze to enjoy another night. — Heloise PERFECT PINEAPPLE

Dear Readers: Is a “baby” pineapple really a baby (as in a pineapple that has been picked while small)?

No! It is grown and picked as it is meant to be, which is about 4.5 inches high (not counting the leaves).

Produced mainly in South Africa, these Queen Victoria pineapples are known for their sweet and tart quality and bold flavor.

What makes these pineapples unique? The entire pineapple flesh is edible, including the core. So, next time you want some pineapple, give this variety a taste!

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, May 2, 2012 Although you might have a rather wide range of acquaintances, perhaps your most consistent and most important associations will be with those who share the same ambitious objectives as you. Important bonds will be forged during the coming months.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Something rather exciting could happen if you visit places where you have a chance to make new contacts. Expose yourself to these kinds of occurrences, and the universe will do the rest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you continuously stay positive, an important situation in which you’re presently involved will work out to your satisfaction, or perhaps even better than you thought possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Rather than discussing something important over the telephone or even putting it to paper, you’ll be much more effective going over the matter in person, if that’s at all possible.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Financial trends are moving in your favor, so if you have anything important monetarily that needs to be shared with others, do so now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If at all possible, avoid people who always try to tell you what to do and how and when to do it. Your personal freedom and independences will be of utmost importance to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your day won’t count for much if you fail to be compassionate when a situation calls for it. It’s not what you do for yourself as much as what you do for others that’ll afford you the greatest pleasure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Base your social activities around friends with whom you’re totally at ease. Pretentious people will put you in a negative mood and make yours and everybody else’s day miserable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you have responsibilities dumped on your shoulders that affect others as much as they do you, take them very seriously. Everyone will suffer if you are indifferent or negligent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your intuition regarding the outcome of events is likely to be right on the money. If you have to make any projections for the day, keep this in mind and refrain from listening to others.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Joint ventures should work out quite satisfactorily, provided nobody tries to rush things beyond their normal pace.

Press forward without being pushy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — It’s best not to make any important decision that affects the entire family without first talking things over with them. Move on only after they’ve all had their say.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t hesitate to take on something that is a bit beyond what you normally handle. It’s a day when things come easier for you, and that includes handling something new.

MONDAY RESULTS • Baseball Troy 5, Piqua 1 PIQUA — Piqua had a chance to clinch the GWOC North title Monday at Hardman Field but lost 5-1 to the Troy Trojans.

Troy’s Devon Alexander threw a seven-hitter and struck out five to keep Piqua off the board for most of the game.

An error to start the fifth inning, a hit batter and two walks helped Troy bat around and scored four runs, although only one of them was earned.

After an error and a hit batter, Devin Blakely had a double to score Thomas Harvey. With one out, Nick Antonides put down a perfect squeeze bunt to make it 2-0 and after an intentional walk to Nathan Helke, Jordan Guillozet had a two-run single.

Troy scored the final run of the game in the top of the seventh, when Helke was hit by a pitch and, after a stolen base, Guillozet doubled in a run. Young led Piqua at the plate with two singles, Helke had two hits for Troy and Guillozet had a single and a double.

71-year-old trainer at first Derby LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Mike Harrington is content watching the hubbub of Kentucky Derby week from afar.

The 71-year-old trainer is happily tucked away in a non-descript barn that lacks even the teeniest view of Churchill Downs’ magnificent Twin Spires.

Let the visitors be entertained by Bob Baffert’s jokes or eavesdrop on Todd Pletcher’s training tidbits.

Harrington prefers laying low with Creative Cause, likely to be one of the top betting choices for Saturday’s race.

The gray-roan colt has never finished out of the money in any of his eight career races, posting four wins, two seconds and two thirds. He’s among the best of five strong California-based horses in the expected 20-horse field. Of course, Baffert and Pletcher hold their usual strong

hand, with two Derby horses each.

Harrington has but one.

“This is probably two derbies for me,” he said Tuesday. “It’s my first and my last.”

He certainly has the pedigree to be here.

Harrington followed his father, grandfather and greatgrandfather into the business, starting out training and racing quarter horses at bush tracks as

a teenager. Later, he became a veterinarian and worked the racetracks until returning to training full time nearly 20 years ago.

Creative Cause is the best horse he’s ever had.

Surprise guest Pettite testifies in Clemens trial

Troy baseball players cover up the pitching mound at Market Street Field with a tarp Tuesday. The game was suspended until today.

Waiting game Big league matchups forced to wait until today

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com They’ve waited 20-plus years for a league title.

What’s one more day?

Troy’s matchup with Piqua Tuesday — what amounts to the Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division championship game — got started despite an early afternoon storm, but another round of rain and lightning caused the teams to suspend the game until today.

MIAMI COUNTY “Hopefully it will be worth the wait,” said Troy coach Ty Welker, whose Trojans haven’t won a league title since 1991, when it was the GMVC. “The boys were itching and ready to play. We tried. It was a tough decision. There were a lot of people there, both teams were wanting to play, but do you want a game like that to be decided on a wet field?”

Piqua, which hasn’t won a league title since 1995, threatened in the first and second innings, but a slip by a baserunner and the resulting pickoff at second base ended the top of the Troy’s Brooke Evans runs to first base during the first inning Tuesday against Piqua. The game was suspended until today due ■ See RAINOUTS on 16 to rain.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens sat some 20 feet apart, Pettitte on the witness stand and Clemens at the defense table trying to avoid going to jail. The topic: a remark about human growth hormone Pettitte recalled hearing from his longtime teammate, mentor and workout partner a dozen years ago.

“Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH,” Pettitte testified. “And that it could help with recovery, and that’s really all I remember about the conversation.”

The rest of the details are fuzzy. Pettitte went on to acknowledge that the words were said in passing during an intense workout.

It’s a conversation that Clemens has famously claimed that Pettitte “misremembers.”

The right-hander on trial who won 354 major league games and the lefty on the stand with 240 wins had an awkward reunion Tuesday, Day 8 in the retrial of charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids or HGH. Pettitte’s appearance enlivened the proceedings and came without warning. The government interrupted testimony from the trial’s first witness to call Pettitte just before noon.

Wearing a gray suit, he walked into court a day after allowing six runs and 10 hits with eight strikeouts over 5 2-3 innings in an extended spring training game in Clearwater, Fla., as part his comeback attempt at age 39 with the New York Yankees.

Pettitte testified mostly with his hands clasped in front of him and rarely looked at Clemens, even during the lengthy delays when lawyers held conferences at the judge’s bench. Clemens frequently took notes. The two haven’t spoken recently because of the trial, but Pettitte nevertheless said he found it difficult to testify because he still considers Clemens a good friend.

Pettitte is crucial to a government case that will otherwise rely heavily on the testimony of Brian McNamee, who worked as a strength coach for both Clemens and Pettitte and has

History has to wait Rainout puts Bruce’s streak on hold CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce, the National League’s player of the week, had to sit and watch for another day this time, because of raindrops. His manager hopes he doesn’t cool off.

The opener of a series between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds was postponed on Tuesday because several lines of thunderstorms moved through the area.

The game wasn’t immediately rescheduled.

It meant that Bruce, who is one homer shy of matching a Reds record, had to limit himself to batting practice instead of trying to hit one out for the fifth game in a row something he wouldn’t mind taking a swing at.

“Uh, sure, why not?” Bruce said.

“But I’m not trying to think about any of that kind of stuff. It’s great.

I’d like to extend this week for as long as I can and be consistent, really.”

The rainout was more beneficial to the Cubs, who arrived in town early Tuesday after a 6-4 loss in Philadelphia. The unexpected day off gave their bullpen a chance to regroup and get healthier.

It was the first postponement for both teams this season and the sixth overall at Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003. A storm moved in during batting practice, followed by another line of storms. The game was called 2 hours, 13 minutes after the origiAP PHOTO nally scheduled start, with more The Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds game was postponed due to rain Tuesday in Cincinnati. rain expected.

Thorny performance 76ers thump Rose-less Bulls CHICAGO (AP) — Jrue Holiday scored 26 points, Lou Williams added 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat Chicago 109-92 on Tuesday night to even their firstround series in the Bulls’ first game since Derrick Rose’s season-ending knee injury.

The superstar point guard received a standing ovation and waved to the crowd as he limped onto the court to present the game ball, then watched from a suite as the 76ers simply blitzed the Bulls in the third quarter.

They outscored Chicago 36-14 in the period, turning an eight-point deficit into an 83-69 lead, and pulled even with the league’s top-seeded team. Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.

Holiday was 11 of 15 from the field, and the Sixers shot 59 percent overall. Williams came up big, going 8 of 13 after hitting just 1 of 6 shots in the opener, and Chicago product Evan Turner chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Joakim Noah led the Bulls with 21 points and eight rebounds. John Lucas III scored 15 points, but

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jrue Holiday (11) drives to the basket against Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah (13) and forward Luol Deng during the second quarter in Chicago on Tuesday.

Carlos Boozer scored just nine and Luol Deng finished with eight. More alarming, the Bulls simply couldn’t stop the Sixers, particularly in the third quarter.

Turner scored 11 points in the period, and Philadelphia wiped out a 55-47 deficit.

The Sixers were leading 68-61 midway through the

quarter after a 12-0 run that Elton Brand started with a foul-line jumper.

Then, after a basket by C.J. Watson, Andre Iguodala threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk over Deng for a three-point play that drew plenty of oohs, aahs and groans from a crowd that felt this one slipping away.

Celtics 87, Hawks 80 ATLANTA — Paul Pierce battled through another tough shooting night to score 36 points and the Boston Celtics wiped out Atlanta’s 11-point lead in the second half even without Rajon Rondo, stunning the Hawks 87-80 on Tuesday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Devils blast Flyers, even series the Devils past the Flyers and make up for the absence of Ilya Kovalchuk.

The Devils played without their regular-season leading scorer because of a lower body injury.

Travis Zajac added a late goal to make it 3-1, and Bryce Salvador scored a late empty-netter for the Devils.

Game 3 is Thursday in New Jersey.

PHILADEPHIA (AP) — Adam Larsson and David Clarkson scored their first goals of the postseason, and the New Jersey Devils posted a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night, evening this Eastern Conference semifinals series at 1-1.

Larsson and Clarkson scored consecutive goals in the third period to rally

Matt Read scored 2:53 into the game to give the Flyers hope they could jump to a commanding series lead. Instead, the offense went into a funk and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov couldn’t protect the advantage.

Even without Kovalchuk, the Devils did what they wanted against Bryzgalov, taking close shots and dominating the

play in the Flyers’ zone.

They just couldn’t score … until the third.

Bryzgalov, who signed a $51 million, nine-year deal last summer, was especially stout in the second when he bailed out the Flyers offense with a 12-save period. The Flyers went more than 18 minutes in the period before taking a shot on Martin Brodeur.

out of anger that we regret,” Stoudemire wrote.

“That makes us human.

Bad timing on my part.

Sorry guys. This (too) shall pass.”

Stoudemire scored 18 points in Game 2, though he didn’t get into a good flow until the fourth quarter, when the Knicks could never seriously challenge the Heat. But any hope of carrying the momentum from his positive finish into Thursday’s game at Madison Square Garden was lost during his walk back to the locker room.

“It’s tough. Your emotions run high. Split-second decisions can obviously alter things,” center Tyson Chandler said after the game. “You can’t fault anybody because I’m obviously a person that has high emotions at times. So one quick decision, make a mistake and now you’ve got to deal with the repercussions.”

Perhaps it was all the frustration built up during a tough season on and off the court.

NEW YORK (AP) — Amare Stoudemire’s difficult season may be over.

Stoudemire had a small muscle in his left hand repaired Tuesday and will not play for the New York Knicks in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat on Thursday.

Stoudemire met with a hand specialist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, a day after he was badly cut when he punched the case surrounding a fire extinguisher after the Knicks’ 104-94 loss in Miami.

The Knicks are listing Stoudemire as doubtful for Game 4 on Sunday.

Stoudemire apologized on his Twitter account for the act, which leaves the Knicks without another key player as they try to rally from a 2-0 deficit.

Jeremy Lin is still recovering from knee surgery and Iman Shumpert is out for the season after tearing a knee ligament in Game 1.

“We all have done thing

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 make it, and I never thought I would make it,” he said.

“You got guys like Baffert and Pletcher who have most of them (horses), so for a little guy like me it’s pretty rewarding.”

The colt is owned by Heinz Steinmann, an 80year-old credited with bringing skiing to California from his native Switzerland. He owns Mountain High resort in Wrightwood, Calif., located in the mountains north of Los Angeles. He’s been Harrington’s main client for years and the two teamed to run Swiss Yodeler, who won some of California’s biggest stakes races and was a wellknown stallion in the late 1990s. Creative Cause has mixed it up on the Derby prep trail with Baffert’s top colt, Bodemeister, and trainer Doug O’Neill’s I’ll Have Another.

He beat Bodemeister to win the San Felipe Stakes, and lost by a nose to I’ll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby last month. As a 2-year-old, Creative Cause beat I’ll Have Another in the Best Pal Stakes and last fall finished third behind Derby rivals Hansen and Union Rags in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs..

“He falls under the radar, which I like. I don’t want him to be the favorite, I don’t want everybody talking about him,” Harrington said.

“Everybody should be talking about Bodemeister, although my horse outrun him. Everybody should be talking about I’ll Have Another, although I outrun him also. Those three horses have traded punches, so who knows?”

Bodemeister, along with Hansen and Trinniberg, is expected to set a fast pace in the 1 1-4-mile Derby.

Creative Cause likes to tuck in behind the leaders and stalk the pace. I’ll Have Another has good speed, but

usually pushes the pace rather than sets it. O’Neill figures I’ll Have Another could lag in the middle of the pack.

“You just need to be running through the stretch,” O’Neill said. “It’s not so much how fast you’re running early but if you can stay out of trouble and have horse to run down the lane, you got a chance.”

Creative Cause has trained well on Churchill’s dirt track since arriving from Los Angeles.

Harrington figures he’ll push him a bit harder on Friday to take the edge off so the colt won’t be too highstrung on Saturday, when more than 100,000 screaming fans will be on hand to watch him and the other Derby horses walk from the barn to the paddock.

“It’s a damn long ways over there,” said Harrington, who may skip the procession that some trainers say makes for an indelible Derby memory. “My main focus is being able to perform in the paddock and get the saddle on him. If the horse gets there 20 minutes before I do, what good am I going to be?”

Harrington would be easy to pick out of the parade of horses, owners, trainers and handlers. He’s the big guy wearing the big cowboy hat, and he’s the only first-timer at the Derby among the California-based trainers. Baffert has won three times, O’Neill has been here before, and so has Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer, who will saddle Rousing Sermon.

“I just keep telling people it’s just a race the first Saturday in May. This horse has run against good horses,” said Harrington, who gladly accepted a bottle of his favorite bourbon from a couple of barn visitors. “It’s not like I’m going to be so overwhelmed that I can’t get out of bed in the morning.”

Dodgers’ sale finalized

Rainouts

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The tumultuous Frank McCourt era is over for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The $2 billion sale of the team to Guggenheim Baseball Management, a group that includes former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson, was finalized Tuesday.

McCourt met with Dodgers employees Tuesday, expressing his appreciation, and introduced new controlling owner Mark Walter, said Howard Sunkin, a spokesman for McCourt.

Walter is chief executive officer of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners. The team will be run by former Atlanta Braves President Stan Kasten. They will hold a news conference Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.

“The Dodgers move forward with confidence in a strong financial position as a premier Major League Baseball franchise and as an integral part of and representative of the Los Angeles community,” according to a joint statement by McCourt and the new owners.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said he’s pleased the sale is finished and the Dodgers can have a fresh start after the “unbecoming events of recent years.”

“It is my great hope and firm expectation that today’s change in ownership marks the start of a new era for the Los Angeles Dodgers and that this historic franchise will once again make the city of Los Angeles proud,” Selig said in a statement.

The timing couldn’t have come at a better time

for Dodgers fans, who are excited about having their team leading the National League. The team had a 16-7 record going into Tuesday night’s game in Colorado.

“I think the fans of LA are pretty excited about the new ownership and what it’s bringing. As long as L.A. is happy, I’m happy,” slugger Matt Kemp said. “As long as we’re winning, I’m happy.”

The Dodgers have won six World Series titles but none since 1988, when they were still owned by the O’Malley family that moved the team from Brooklyn to California after the 1957 season.

The sale was part of a reorganization plan after McCourt took the team into bankruptcy last June.

A federal judge approved the deal last month.

The sale was supposed to close Monday, the day McCourt was to make a $131 million payment to former wife Jamie McCourt as part of their divorce settlement. The team’s statement said all claims will be paid. Jamie McCourt did receive her payout on Monday.

McCourt bought the team, Dodger Stadium and 250 acres of land that includes the parking lots from the Fox division of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. in a $430 million deal in 2004. Fox bought the team in 1998, then sold it to McCourt.

In April 2011, MLB appointed former Texas Rangers President Tom Schieffer to monitor the Dodgers on behalf of Selig, who said he was concerned about the team’s finances and how the Dodgers were being run.

softball — was also suspended to today. That game is scoreless in the bottom of the first. The Indians hold a one-game lead over the Miami East Vikings — who they play on Thursday.

Should Covington win, Thursday’s game would be for the outright title, but if Newton tops Covington, Miami East will need to beat the Indians to earn a share of the title.

The Vikings, meanwhile had both their baseball and softball games at Mississinawa Valley

Tuesday rained out before they even got started.

Softball faces Bethel today in another makeup game and will take on the Friday.

Blackhawks Baseball — which also will face Mississinawa Valley Friday — will finish today a previously-suspended game against Twin Valley South, with the scored tied 8-8 in the sixth inning.

Newton’s baseball team will pick up where it left off against Covington today — with a 4-0 lead and still hitting in the bottom of the first

inning.

Bethel’s baseball game against Tri-Village never even got started, and it was pushed to today, as well.

No sport was immune to the rain, either. Troy’s GWOC North tennis matchup at Sidney was rained out and will be picked up today, pushing aside the Trojans’ originallyscheduled non-league matchup at Beavercreek.

And Tippecanoe’s home match against Northwestern was also rained out.

inside the gym. Maybe outside.

Then, under cross-examination from one of Clemens’ lawyers, Pettitte revealed how tenuous his account might seem to the jury.

Attorney Michael Attanassio asked if it came amid a “lot of huffing and puffing” that accompanies a workout.

“Yes,” Pettitte answered.

Pettitte was then asked if Clemens’ remark was made “in passing” — as opposed to in a “focused conversation.”

“I would say so,” Pettitte said.

Pettitte will return to the stand on Wednesday.

Pettitte also recalled the other time he spoke with Clemens about HGH, during the media swirl surrounding earlier congressional hearings — in 2005 — on drug use in sports.

Both were playing for the Houston Astros, and Pettitte asked Clemens at spring training what Clemens would say if asked by reporters about HGH use.

Clemens responded: “What are you talking about?” according to Pettitte, and that Pettitte must have misunderstood the 19992000 conversation.

“He said, ‘My wife used it,’” Pettitte said.

“Obviously I was a little flustered,” Pettitte said, “because I thought that he told me that he did.”

Both Clemens and McNamee have said that McNamee injected Debbie

Clemens with HGH at the Clemens home in 2003, although they differ over certain details.

Clemens has said publicly multiple times, including before Congress at a February 2008 hearing, that Pettitte “misremembers” the 1999-2000 conversation.

Before he could begin testifying about Clemens, Pettitte had to answer very rudimentary questions meant to educate a jury that knows little about baseball, leading him to make statements such as: “The Boston Red Sox play in Boston.”

Pettitte mentioned Clemens — along with pitchers Nolan Ryan and Jim Abbott — as players he admired while growing up in Texas. Ten years apart in age, Pettitte said he “hit it off immediately” when he and Clemens first became teammates with the Yankees in 1999.

They remained teammates for nine seasons, five with the Yankees, then three with the Astros, then one more back in New York before Clemens retired after the 2007 season.

The trial was moving at a laborious pace before Pettitte appeared. Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, spent the morning trying to challenge the merits of the 2008 hearing, specifically honing in on whether the questions asked of Clemens had anything to do with Congress’ stated mission of passing laws.

together in Texas during happier times — “Mac, Roger and me,” as Pettitte put it.

Pettitte has acknowledged he received HGH from McNamee; Clemens has not. Pettitte told the jury about the time he used HGH in 2002 while recovering from an injury, but he wasn’t allowed to say he was injected by McNamee because the judge ruled that information inadmissible.

Troy’s Shelby Schultz takes a pitch Tuesday against Piqua. The game was suspended until today due to rain with Piqua leading 2-0 in the top of the second.

■ Major League Baseball

SC 2279196

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 second — and brought on the tarps.

Market Street Field has had good luck this spring thanks to Welker and the players tending the field. On a number of occasions, games were scheduled to be played on the road but flipped to Troy as the oppositions’ fields weren’t playable.

Tuesday’s rain was too much, though.

“The field can take some rain, but what we can’t control is rain at the time of the game,” Welker said with a laugh. We can only do so much.”

Both the Trojans and Indians are 7-2 in the GWOC North, and whoever wins today’s continuation will be the champion.

Next door, the Trojan softball team was looking sweep the season series with the Indians after an 112 win on Monday that saw Shelby Schultz drill her second home run of the year and Amber Smith hit her first. That game was suspended, too, with Piqua leading 2-0 heading into the top of the second.

It was a very common storyline all over the county.

Tippecanoe’s baseball team, looking to hold onto its one-game lead over Bellefontaine in the Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division standings, was suspended in the middle of a scoreless game at home against Kenton Ridge.

The action will pick up today with a Red Devil runner on third base with two outs in the bottom of the third and a 3-0 count on the batter.

And Tippecanoe softball — which holds a slim halfgame lead over Kenton Ridge in the standings — held a 3-0 lead over the rival Cougars in the bottom of the third and was threatening to tack on more when the rains came. That game will be picked up today, as well.

Another game with major league implications — Newton at Covington
