Light assessment draws public input Residents give opinions, city looks at other options BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com

Hoskins International in Minster is helping businesses and residents save money with energy solutions, including solar power. Also, see what's in store for the Brukner woodcarver's show in Troy, and learn what a new auto garage in Piqua has to offer.

Troy city council members agreed to adopt several pieces of legislation on the first reading May 7, including those regarding repaving, Stonebridge Meadows

increase revenue in the face of $800,000 to $1 million in budget cuts from the state of Ohio. Street lighting is projected to cost the city about $380,000 this year. Several residents at the meeting suggested the city look for alternative ways to increase revenue. “Street lights are something cities have typically provided for,”

said resident Denny Wannemacher, adding that an across-the-board assessment is unfair, given that some sections of streets do not even have lights. The finance committee determined that charging per parcel is the most equitable. Titterington said public opinion is encouraged throughout the process. The city has also looked into LED street lighting and other

Council talks plant issues In a preview of things to come, Covington Village Council members were briefed at Monday night’s meeting on a recent maintenance issue handled by wastewater treatment plant employees. When the first-ever village administrator is hired this summer, oversight of village utility operations will be shifted from the Covington Board of Public Affairs to the person filling the new position and village council. Under state law, the board will be disbanded with the hiring of an administrator. At the request of Mayor Ed McCord, representatives of the BPA attended the council meeting. McCord said as mayor he attends BPA meetings and commended the work of BPA members in overseeing village utilities.

user can expect to pay about $1.11 more per month. The water and sewer rate increase will fund the Downtown Utilities Replacement Project, which is expected to cost $2.15 million. This includes the construction of a new 12-inch water main, new sanitary sewers, an 18-inch storm sewer, and the repair of the roadways and sidewalks affected by the construction. The project will affect Main Street between Fourth Street and First Street. The sewer rate increase also funds the renovation of the Main Street Lift Station, which will cost the city $1 million. The city is required by the EPA to eliminate the sanitary sewer overflows — when the system is overwhelmed by clean watering infiltrating the sewer system — that happen during heavy rains. This project includes upgrades to the lift station and a new 30-inch sanitary sewer main. “I’m not usually one of those guys that’s for raising any kind of rates,” councilman Bryan Budding said, who sponsored the ordinance. “But as the cost of business goes up, whether it be employees, healthcare, a project you want to take on or a project you have to take on, as go those costs, so does the cost of the product.” The first stages of these projects

are expected to begin this fall, with construction beginning late this year and continuing through 2013. “It probably won’t be done by summer and it will disturb some of the events that are planned for downtown. Our goal is to have it done by the first Saturday in November when we have the Winter’s Yuletide Gathering,” said Crusey. Council also awarded contracts for two more upcoming road construction programs. The contract for the reconstruction of Franklin Street was awarded to Finfrock Construction for $116,000, which is well under budget. The estimated cost of the project was $135,249. The contract for the 2012 street resurfacing program was awarded to John R. Jurgensen Co. for $462,949.55, which exceeds the appropriations for the project by almost $11,000. Council voted to use funds from the underbid Franklin Street project to cover the costs of this contract. The council approved the issuance of $675,000 in bond anticipation notes for the construction of Abbott Park Way and to extend utilities to the site of the new Abbott facility. The city has received several grants from the state to assist with this project. The council also authorized the advance of $775,000 from the General Fund to the Abbott Park Way Fund until the grants are

received. The General Fund will be paid back once the city is reimbursed with grant funds. At the end of the meeting, organizers and participants in the What A Girl Wants demanded an apology for the difficulties they encountered in planning the event. Cancer survivors and community members spoke out in support of the event. The event, which benefits breast cancer research and charities, ran into difficulties late in the planning stages. Council, concerned about closing Main Street while the citywide garage sale was taking place, suggested that the organizers consider moving the event or closing the street later. Eventually, the event organizers settled on closing Main Street later than they had planned. “In order for any community to work, the first thing that has to happen is the government has to work for the community. This event almost didn’t happen because a small group of people didn’t agree with it,” Will Grosz said. Grosz’s business is one of the sponsors for the event, and he helped organize the evening concert. According to Grosz, 58 cancer survivors attended the event, 400 women came to the fashion show, there were 50 volunteers who helped to make the event happen, and approximately 2,000 people attended the free concert.

measures that would lead to significant savings in the long run, he explained at the council meeting. In regard to the repaving program, Titterington said the city could not afford to hold off on repaving several streets any longer, as several competitive bids have already been received and costs will significantly escalate next year. John Schweser, the only dissenting voter, had asked if repaving could be withheld for another year, due to the stressors of the budget this year. Council members passed legislation for outsourcing maintenance and repair for the city’s vehicles and equipment as well. Research showed that outsourcing could cost the city anywhere from 7.5 percent to

Budding also voiced concerns that not all of the downtown businesses supported the event and might not benefit from having Main Street closed. To prove that the downtown businesses could profit from the event, Grosz reported that sales were up for many of the shops on Main Street. “Sweet by Kristy’s was up 16 percent from last year same day sales, which is an 84 percent increase from a normal Saturday. Cairn’s Toy Store was 64 percent up from last year, which is 145 percent up from a normal Saturday,” Grosz said. Kelley Andary of Harrisons and Urban Ava’s announced at the meeting that the event will move to Beavercreek next year because of the construction on Main Street and also because of what she felt was a lack of support from council. “I’m asking each and every one of you, and I want it to be addressed at some point, what are you going to do to fight to bring this back to our town,” one resident asked. Members of council offered their apologies and their support to the organizers of What A Girl Wants. Mayor Dee Gillis told them, “you need to get a little tough-skinned,” but also said, “we love you and we thank you.” “If there is any way that you could reconsider your decision, please do so,” councilman Joe Gibson added.

62.8 percent less than having city staff perform service work. The resolution passed on its first reading. Also approved on its first reading was Stonebridge Meadows Phase I, which entails more than 19 acres of land; 25 building lots between about 12,000 square feet and nearly 25,000 square feet; a common area; and about 2.5 acres of right of way. Council also agreed to authorize the city of Troy to provide Concord Township with EMS Services, as requested. Rezoning for several lots on West Stanfield Road was discussed, and a public hearing will be conducted at the next council meeting May 21. The owner of one of the lots, First Choice Managment Group Ltd., located at 1990 W. Stanfield Road, has asked not to be included in the rezoning.

and its problems. I so agree that educators should drive the educational policy. Teachers are smart, responsible and creative when allowed. For years, the federal government has virtually “killed” educational progress with continual mandates and

changes in education policy. Thank you, Tom, for your common sense, pure logic, intelligence and your experience in making sound decisions.

PERSPECTIVE

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

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on immigration: The number of immigrants coming illegally to the United States has been declining for several years. Demographers have repeatedly said as much, and now a report by the Pew Hispanic Center confirms it — illegal migration from Mexico is virtually at a standstill. Last year, about 6.1 million Mexicans were illegally in the country, down from a high of 7 million in 2007. What accounts for the change after decades of steady increases? A declining birth rate and solid economic growth in Mexico have led fewer people to leave home. On this side of the border, a weak economy has made the U.S. less appealing for job seekers; and tougher border security has made the treacherous journey too expensive and dangerous for most, according to the report. … The more pressing question now is what to do with the 11 million illegal immigrants from Mexico and elsewhere who are already here. Some Republicans want to redouble efforts to deport them; Mitt Romney has said he hopes they will “selfdeport.” But such fantasies of a mass exodus are as unrealistic as the demand for a vacuum-sealed border. The Obama administration is already detaining and deporting a record number of immigrants — nearly 400,000 annually. Besides, a real exodus would leave some sectors of the domestic economy struggling. Right now, more than half of all farmworkers in the U.S. are here illegally. Deporting them won’t push Americans into the fields. Just ask farmers in Alabama and other states that have enacted draconian measures who have found their crops rotting in the field because of labor shortages. Fixing immigration requires more than an enforcement-only strategy. Lawmakers must undertake a comprehensive approach that includes a path to legalization for those who are here, an agricultural worker program to help growers and farmhands, and strict workplace enforcement to discourage people from coming illegally in the future. The Garden City (Kan.) Telegram on farm labor: Youngsters have pitched in on farms for generations. The ageold tradition is nothing new… So it was no surprise when backlash from farmers and ranchers stifled a pitch led by the U.S. Labor Department to ban children younger than 16 from using most power-driven farm equipment, including tractors, and keep those younger than 18 from working in feedlots, grain silos and stockyards. Even though the proposal only would have applied to youngsters working on farms not owned by their parents, critics said such rules would dramatically alter farm life. It’s easy to see how farmers would resist such change. After all, many grew up on farms and learned the ropes as children. Farm chores became a way of life from the day they were deemed old enough to help. On the other hand, federal officials seeking the stricter rules believed such a move would reduce deaths and accidents related to farm work. Studies have shown the injury rate on the farm highest among adults older than 65 (slower reaction time), and children age 15 and younger (they’re less experienced). According to the Child Labor Coalition, three-quarters of working children younger than 16 who died of work-related injuries in 2010 were in agriculture. Even those who opposed the proposed rules for young farm workers have to acknowledge a need to improve on those statistics. Accidents that occur when operating machinery — tractors, in particular — remain a leading cause of farm-related deaths for all ages. As with any business hoping to improve work practices and stay viable, farm operations must continue to evolve. Enacting new ways to make farm work safer for all ages — from children on up — has to be the top priority, regardless of how such moves would change tradition on the farm.

DOONESBURY

It’s the journey, with the people that matters It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. Isn’t that statement always true? Isn’t the tough stuff what makes us who we are? Isn’t it the tough stuff that becomes the defining moments in our lives? My race weekend at The Capital City Half Marathon was great. The race, not so great. It was a good course and it was fun to be with my team, my family and Key, but it didn’t turn out quite like I had hoped in terms of the goals I wanted to reach. I went into the weekend with high hopes of reaching a personal best and walking away with a smile on my face. Instead I had a few tears of disappointment and lots and lots of sweat. While I didn’t reach my goal, I finished, I crossed the finish line, by myself. All I can really think about are the good things. I remember walking around North Market with my Team (G)Racer’s and Key. I remember chatting with new friends at the expo and I remember staying with my good friend Steph. It was fun to run through a big city for 13 miles and it was fun to be surrounded by so many other runners. When the race starts and you see a swarm of runners as far as you can see in front and behind you, you feel as though you are one tiny piece of a gigantic puzzle. As we stood in our “corrals” (yes, a

Katie Yantis Troy Daily News Columnist corral. I know it makes us sound like animals) the energy level was high, and everyone was wishing folks good luck. As our team gathered to pray for good wishes, luck, slow hearts and fast feet, we had a woman approach us to comment on our shirts, which read “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus,” from Philippians 3:1214. We got so many comments on the shirt and what we stood for as a team and what we run for as a team. It was an incredible experience to be present for it. It was also incredible to hear team members explain their separate fundraising goal of raising money for a local boy with leukemia who faces numerous treatments. We don’t just run, we run for a reason; important reasons and that is to be present for more than just ourselves, but to be present for others and God.

— Mary Steele Troy

Another incredible thing was that I wore the DetermiNation jersey that I had signed up to be a part of since the beginning. I met all the people I communicated with at the expo, but more importantly, I met other DetermiNation team members and supporters along the course. Just as I’m sure other charity teams have, there was a sense of “we belong to each other” and a sense of familiarity despite the sound fact of being a complete stranger. When we saw each other all we could say was “keep going,” and “you can do it,” with a special tone in our voice and look in our eye. I will never forget one special lady during the race. I don’t know what it was about her or the moment, but it will be ingrained in my memory like it was yesterday. It was during a pretty low point in my race as I realized my goals were passing me by and I came upon a supporter with a DetermiNation/American Cancer Society sign. It had both logos and all it said was “My daughter runs like a girl.” As I approached her, she took the opportunity to read my bib on the front of my shirt which bore my name. She held her hand out to grab mine and pulled up her sunglasses and said “You can do this, Katie. Keep going.” She held my hand and squeezed so tight it was like she was a member of my family and in the sense of charities and

larger realms than this Earth she was and is. I will forever be thankful to her. Because as I hit a wall in my race and started becoming selfish and consumed with my time, she reminded me that, that race wasn’t about me, it wasn’t about my time. That race was for all the people who donated to the American Cancer Society in memory or honor of those they lost or love and have celebrated victories with. That race was for all the people I personally have lost and loved. And it was for those who have won, like my father, my aunts and my friends. This race was special. I have a team that I am a part of that I will stay with to the ends of the Earth. Team (G)racer’s you are special people and often times leave me speechless — by you and the light that shines through you. I had so much fun this weekend. Y’all did so great from Cap City to Pittsburgh we all did our best. That’s what is most important. We ran for a cause. We did our best and we put forth our best efforts. I did my best and I did it for those who can’t. The time, the goals, they will all come later. There will be more races, there will be more causes and I will take them on one by one and get better along the way.

Wastewater treatment plant issues addressed BY TOM MILLHOUSE Ohio Community Media tmillhouse@dailycall.com In a preview of things to come, Covington Village Council members were briefed at Monday night’s meeting on a recent maintenance issue handled by wastewater treatment plant employees. When the first-ever village administrator is hired this summer, oversight of village utility operations will be shifted from the Covington Board of Public Affairs to the person filling the new position and village council. Under state law, the board will be disbanded with the hiring of an administrator. At the request of Mayor Ed McCord, representatives of the BPA attended the council meeting. McCord said as mayor he attends BPA meetings and commended the work of BPA members in overseeing village utilities. “They have done an outstanding job overseeing our water and wastewater plants,” McCord said, noting he wanted council to get an idea of how some utility

issues have been handled by the BPA. BPA member Donald “Bud” Weer said the wastewater treatment plant’s sludge handling system recently developed a problem when a chain broke on one of four tanks. He said it was decided to drain all four tanks and in doing so other maintenance problems were detected. Thanks to the extensive experience of plant employees, the repairs were made without having to hire an outside contractor, Weer said. The cost of the repairs were about $5,200. Weer said if plant employees had not done the work “it would have cost a lot more.” “I want to thank you for all of your service,” council member Joyce Robertson said. She asked if the plant is operating more efficiently following the repairs and Weer said there has been an improvement. In another issue involving the utility departments, council members approved the purchase of utility billing computer software from CMI (Creative

PIQUA

More than a dozen Piqua High School students have been issued citations for underage drinking following an after-prom party at a Hopewood Drive home that was broken up by police early Sunday morning. Responding to a police call, authorities arrived at 5 Hopewood Drive hours after Piqua’s prom and, after gaining consent to search the home from a parent who lives at the residence and who claimed to be sleeping at the time, the police found more than a dozen underage drinkers in a basement at the home, said Piqua Deputy Chief Tom Steiner. Steiner said the father, who will not be charged, knew his daughter had people over at his house following the prom, but denied having

knowledge they were drinking or how they got the alcohol. The parent was cooperative and let police search the home and while in the basement noticed beer and liquor bottles and more than a dozen people, which consisted of both adults and juveniles, Steiner said. “We don’t believe the father had any knowledge of any drinking going on,” Steiner said. Steiner said none of the partygoers fled the scene or were allowed to leave the scene. “The parents of any juvenile found to be drinking were notified and told to come and pick up their child,” Steiner said. A more detailed copy of the police report is expected to be completed later this week and Steiner said the case is still actively being investigat-

Microsystems Inc. of Englewood) at a cost of $21,753. The software is needed for the village to modernize the utility billing system. Council members Lois Newman cast the lone vote against the software purchase, saying after the meeting that she voted “no” because she thought the cost was too great. With the rain falling as council met Monday night and the prospect of continued warm weather, McCord said council needs to address a problem of village employees having to mow the yards of more homes being left vacant because of foreclosures. “Some of the yards are out of control,” McCord said, remarking that the yard of one home where the owner walked away from the property was “at least two feet tall.” McCord suggested council members and Solicitor Frank Patrizio review the property maintenance ordinance passed

many years ago before the May 21 workshop session. McCord said council needs to determine how much the village should charge for its employees to mow the yards of vacant houses. The charge would be assessed to a bank or whoever assumes ownership after foreclosure. In other business council: • Heard McCord report the local farmers market will be held from 3-7 p.m. each Friday, beginning May 25. He said Friday was selected for the farmers market because vendors have commitments on Thursday and Saturday. • Learned that additional recycling bins are needed as the program has gained greater participation by village residents. • Agreed to participate in the Memorial Day Parade. • Were advised the village’s insurance consultant will be meeting with village employees to discuss their health insurance needs. • Learned that the topic of the June council workshop will be a review of the trash ordinance.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Tell your husband to back you up Dear Annie: My 25-year marriage is falling apart. My husband's 40-year-old daughter, "Sally," has been living with us for eight months. She occasionally buys a few groceries, but otherwise pays nothing. She does no work around the house. I've asked her to help clean the shared bathroom. She says she doesn't think she should have to do any cleaning because she doesn't mess anything up. She uses the bathtub more than we do and has all kinds of junk in there. She says her father also has stuff in there, so it's my job to clean it. I refuse. Meanwhile, my husband says Sally is right. He agrees that she shouldn't have to do any work around the house because she has a full-time job. (We are retired.) She also never cleans up after herself in the kitchen and doesn't help with the dishes after eating the dinner I cook. This is causing major problems between my husband and me. He isn't interested in counseling. What can I do about Sally? — A Sad Marriage Dear Sad: If Sally has a fulltime job, she should be paying rent. If she won't pay rent, she should contribute to the household by helping with the housework, groceries and cooking on a regular basis. The fact that you are retired doesn't make you her servant. Tell your husband he can clean up after her. Your real problem is that your husband doesn't back you up, and he puts Sally's preferences above yours. The goal should be to get Sally out of your house as soon as possible. It is not healthy for any of you if she remains dependent on Daddy. Dear Annie: I am in an abusive marriage. There has been some physical abuse along with verbal, emotional and mental abuse. It has gone on for three years, and I think about leaving every day. I cry all the time. I have tried to be a good wife, but nothing I do is good enough. I have talked to a couple of counselors, and they tell me I need to get out. I want to, but I don't have any money (he has seen to that) and I have no place to go. I don't have any family or friends close by to stay with. I've been in contact with the local women's shelter a couple of times, but right now, they don't have any available housing. How can I leave if I don't have any money or a place to go? I just don't know how much longer I can hang on. — Crying Dear Crying: Please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233). The people there can help you figure out how to protect yourself and prepare to leave this relationship. In the meantime, don't hide your situation. Let others know what is going on, including your family members and trustworthy friends. When you are able to leave, you will need their support. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Maybe It's Not Just Hormones." I was married for 22 years, and our sex life was strictly for my ex. It was hard to enjoy intimacy with someone who was constantly jealous and didn't trust me — and he had no reason to feel that way. He was the only man I'd ever been with. I have been divorced for 18 years and was done with men. But a friend suggested online dating sites, so I recently signed up and met a nice gentleman. I realized I needed to have sex with another man to see what genuine intimacy was like. Well, let me tell you, I am so satisfied I cannot describe it. He says I am an excellent lover. I am 60 years old and never thought I would enjoy sex. Now I know anything is possible. — Enjoying Life Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Old Heloise recipe gives you the drop on tuna Dear Heloise: Many years ago, when my children were young, your mother printed a recipe using Tuna. I remember dropping the tuna in oil. I can’t find the recipe, and I think my grandchildren would like it. Thank you. — A Faithful Reader, via email Dear Reader: Thank you for writing. My mother, the original Heloise (1919-1977), made these tasty treats using canned salmon. She did suggest that if you’re on a tight budget, you can substitute tuna. Here’s the recipe for Heloise’s Salmonettes. They are easy to make and taste great, too! You need the following: 1 can of salmon or tuna (14 ounces)

Hints from Heloise Columnist 1/4 cup reserved liquid from the salmon or tuna 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup flour Pepper (optional, to taste) 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder Fill a deep fryer or skillet halffull of oil and preheat while assembling the salmonettes.

Drain all but 1/4 cup of the liquid off the canned fish and set aside. Place fish in a mixing bowl and break apart with a fork. A little at a time, add egg, flour and pepper. Mix well but do not overmix. Add the baking powder to the reserved liquid and beat with a whisk or fork until frothy. Immedately add it to the fish mixture and stir to blend — do not let it sit after mixing. Drop the mixture off iced-tea spoons into the hot oil. Keep an eye on them, because it won’t take long until they are browned. Drain on a paper towel and then serve! Unfortunately, this is a recipe that you cannot make ahead of time and then cook. You have to fry them as

soon as you mix them. Enjoy! — Heloise CELERY LEAVES Dear Readers: I love celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese as a snack. It also is an ingredient in numerous recipes. However, most folks cut off the leaves and throw them away! STOP! DON’T! The leaves contain the most vitamin C, calcium and potassium of the entire plant. The leaves can be used like parsley when seasoning dishes. They also can be mixed with other greens to make salad. So, don’t toss those leaves. Use within a day or two, because they won’t keep for long! — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, May 9, 2012 It’s likely that you’ll have ample opportunities in the year ahead to further multiply some excellent situations in which you’re already involved. However, it will be up to you to make sure that this happens. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Over the years, you’ve acquired much valuable information that you use in bits and pieces from time to time. It behooves you to market what you know in greater measure. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Don’t hesitate to go along with changing conditions, even if they appear to have no practical purpose. They could carry you into greener pastures, where new things are happening. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Carefully consider all decisions that would affect others as well as yourself. A misjudgment on your part could have far-reaching, negative consequences. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Carefully examine all the facets when considering a job change. Be sure any move you make will be a step up the ladder and not an ignominious descent. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If your social life has been a bit hollow lately, don’t wait for the mountain to come to you. Take the initiative to get out, be friendly and mingle with as many new people as possible. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Before surging ahead on a brand-new idea, activity or project, bring to a satisfactory conclusion what you already have on your plate. Overlapping activities could tangle up your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A good idea you’ve been mulling over that you haven’t been able to get off the ground can be transformed into something that would fulfill a pressing need. Try it and see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — There is some kind of channel available to you that you haven’t utilized yet, but which could possibly contribute to your material security. Stop dawdling and do something about it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You have excellent chances for success if you take personal control over your life and make things happen without being subject to committee approval. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Because you’re innately endowed with keen intuition and good powers of perception, you have better-thanaverage chances of arriving at accurate conclusions. Don’t hesitate to use this gift. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Whether you realize it or not, you’re endowed with sound instincts and excellent powers of perception. The trick to using them well is to make sure your attitude remains positive at all times. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Something to do with your career and/or finances that would have far-reaching, beneficial results can be achieved by applying a little extra effort. Make it your primary task. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

WANTED WANTED

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 branches are Union 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.

LEWISBURG — Troy Christian coach Bill Campbell didn’t want to see Monday’s Division IV Sectional tournament opener at Tri-County get suspended until the next day. Not the way Eagle starter Michael Seagraves was dealing. He needn’t have worried, though. “He was in a groove Monday. We were up 2-0, and he’d thrown 38 pitches in the fourth inning,” Campbell said of Seagraves. “When someone’s got it going like that, you don’t want to stop it because you don’t know what will happen. But he picked right back up where he left off Tuesday.” Seagraves struck out seven and one-hit the Panthers, while the Eagles (19-5) picked up a pair of unearned runs on Monday and held on for a 2-0 victory to advance to the sectional semifinal round — where they’ll enjoy a home game today.

MIAMI COUNTY Seagraves finished with 70 pitches over the course of both days, and the Troy Christian defense committed only one error. He also added a double as the Eagles only had four hits of their own. With the win, Seagraves — who has piled up just about every major single-season and career pitching record at Troy Christian — improved to 10-0 on the season. “He threw 70 pitches, and by comparison, their starter had 78 as of yesterday — and he didn’t come back today,” Campbell said. “I was proud of our defense. They played really well. This is a quality win for us. “These two teams were about as evenly matched as we could have been. Both defenses played well. They just had a couple of errors at the wrong time with guys on third base.” Now the Eagles will host Franklin Monroe — a team that beat them in the regular season — for the right to play in the sectional final. “They beat us a couple of weeks ago, but the team that showed up that day is not the team that’s been playing these

Devils look to bounce back at CBC Staff Reports

URBANA

The Tippecanoe Red Devils may not have racked up a ton of points. But they put themselves in good position to pile them up on Friday. The Red Devils boys currently sit in 11th place and the girls in 10th after Day 1 of the Central

Buckeye Conference track meet on Tuesday at Urbana High School after only a few events were scored — but they had a number of qualifiers for Friday’s finals. For the boys, the 4x800 relay team of Pat McEhlose, Sam Wharton, Rick Andrews and Grant Koch placed fifth (8:21.32)

to give the team its four points on the day. Alex Daniels was 15th in the long jump (16-8.75) and Corey Baldasare was 20th (15-2.5), and Landon Stafford was 17th (100-0) in the discus. Still, the boys can rack up points in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 distance races and the high jump on Friday to get out of the cellar.

Meanwhile, Lacey Loges accounted for the girls’ three points on the day, finishing sixth in the shot put (30-6.25). Ellise Sharpe and Briana Heilman tied for 10th in the high jump (4-8). But the Devil girls can make up some of the gap in the sprints. Ashley Badertscher had the

The Vikings (18-6) scored seven runs on Monday in the second inning and maintained that lead until the game was suspended by weather. They then tacked on three more on Tuesday, and Paige Kiesewetter and the defense did the rest. “It was interesting to start the game one day and finish it the next,” Miami East coach Brian Kadel said. “The girls did a good job of starting things off yesterday. We hit the ball hard and played solid defense. “Today, they didn’t want to give Dixie a chance to regroup.” Kiesewetter fanned 10, walked one, hit a batter and gave up only one hit in the shutout.

Bulldogs ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Union coach Brett Barnes said. “It’s exciting because you don’t see many no-hitters.” It was a monumental win for Milton-Union because it hadn’t won a tournament game in several years. After a four-win season in 2011, the Bulldogs rebounded by winning 10 games this year before picking up No. 11 on Tuesday. And now, Milton will travel right down State Route 571 into Tipp City to face rival Tippecanoe on Thursday. “I’m not sure of the years, but it’s been a while,” Barnes said. “But that is our first tournament win in a while. We expected to win. We thought we had a good call on the seed. Now we get to go play Tipp, which is always exciting.” Milton-Union’s offense was rolling from start to finish, nailing nine hits in the game — including back-to-back doubles by Adam Gunston and Maiden to get things going in the bottom of the first. The Bulldogs plated three runs in that inning, then followed with a five-run second to build an 8-0 lead. The Bulldogs piled on two more runs in the third thanks to a two-run single by Trey Overla, which scored Gunston and Maiden all the way from first base. After walking to open the bottom of the fourth, Jesse Simpson came across the plate on a passed ball to score Milton’s final run. Gunston had two hits

Hamilton hits 4 HR, Rangers crush Orioles BALTIMORE (AP) — Josh Hamilton became the 16th player to hit four home runs in a game, launching a quartet of two-run drives against three different pitchers in a history-making performance that carried the Texas Rangers to a 10-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Hamilton homered off Jake Arrieta in the first and

third innings, added another off Zach Phillips in the seventh and topped it off with a one-for-the-books shot against Darren O’Day in the eighth. During the last atbat, Hamilton took a mighty hack and missed, lined a foul into right-field seats and then sent an 0-2 pitch over the center-field wall. He also doubled in the fifth inning. His 18 total

bases is a new single-game American League record, and his eight RBIs are a career high. The last player to hit four home runs in a game was Carlos Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003, for Toronto against Tampa Bay. Two of the 16 players to hit four homers in a game did it before 1900. Hamilton is the sixth AL slugger to perform the feat.

The last player to hit four homers in a game against the Orioles was Rocky Colavito in 1959, at old Memorial Stadium. Hamilton, who is in the final year of his contract and could become a free agent after this season, leads the AL with 14 homers and 36 RBIs, and his 5-for-5 effort raised his batting average to .406.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Alex Rios tripled home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3 Tuesday night. Cleveland closer Chris Perez (0-1) yielded a leadoff single to Paul Konerko, who was replaced by pinch runner Brent Lillibridge. After A.J. Pierzynski fouled out, Rios lined a ball over the head of second baseman Jason Kipnis that rolled all the way to the wall in right-center as Lillibridge easily scored. Rios scored on a fielder’s choice, beating the throw home from Kipnis, who fielded a ground ball hit by Alexei Ramirez. Hector Santiago (1-1) pitched the ninth for his first career win and Addison Reed worked a perfect 10th for his second save as Chicago won for the second time in eight games. Rios was in a 3 for 18 skid until getting two singles off starter Justin Masterson — and his second career triple off Perez.

He also hit a walkoff grand slam off Cleveland’s closer Sept. 10. Perez allowed only one run over his previous 13 outings. Brewers 8, Reds 3 MILWAUKEE — Aramis Ramirez hit a three-run triple, helping the Milwaukee Brewers shake off their recent offensive struggles in an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. Yovani Gallardo (2-3) gave up two runs in six innings and tied a season high with eight strikeouts for the Brewers, who had lost eight of their previous 11 games. Gallardo had an RBI single in the fifth, snapping an eight-game scoreless streak by the Reds’ bullpen. Scott Rolen’s double in the eighth was the 506th of his career, tying Babe Ruth for 48th on the all-time list. Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer off Gallardo in the sixth, his 10th this season.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Danny Granger scored 25 points to help the Indiana Pacers defeat the Orlando Magic 105-87 on Tuesday night and clinch their firstround Eastern Conference playoff series 4-1. It was Indiana’s first series win since 2005 and its first clincher on its home court since the first round of the 2000 playoffs. The Pacers will play Miami or New York in the second round. Darren Collison scored 15 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and George Hill added 15 points for the Pacers, who trailed by two at

the end of the third quarter but outscored the Magic 36-16 in the final 12 minutes. Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 27 points and made 5 of 8 3-pointers. Glen Davis, a thorn in Indiana’s side throughout the series, scored 15 but made just 6 of 17 shots. The Magic made just 5 of 16 shots in the fourth quarter. Collison made a layup and hit a 3-pointer to give the Pacers a 78-73 lead with 9:33 to play. After Nelson drained another 3, Collison came back with a layup, then Leandro Barbosa’s steal and layup pushed Indiana’s lead to 87-

80 with 6:49 to play and forced an Orlando timeout. A few minutes later, Indiana’s Paul George stole an inbounds pass and found Granger under the hoop for a layup and a 91-80 lead. The Pacers dominated from there. Indiana led by as many as 15 points in the first half, but as was the case throughout the series, it didn’t last. Orlando got hot late in the half, and a 3-pointer by Jason Richardson and a bucket by Davis cut Indiana’s lead to 48-47. Indiana’s Roy Hibbert made a hook shot to push the lead back to three at the break.

A putback by Ryan Anderson gave Orlando a 5150 lead early in the third quarter. Hawks 87, Celtics 86 ATLANTA — Al Horford scored 19 points in his first start since January, and the Atlanta Hawks held on for an 87-86 victory over the Boston Celtics in a thrilling Game 5 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday night. The Celtics lead the series 3-2 heading back to Boston for Game 6 on Thursday. If the Hawks can steal one on the road, the deciding game would be Saturday in Atlanta.

Devils oust Flyers in five

Sectional

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Salvador, David Clarkson and Ilya Kovalchuk scored goals to lift New Jersey to a 3-1 Game 5 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night, sending the Devils into the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2003. Martin Brodeur was strong in goal and has the Devils back in position to win their fourth Stanley Cup. The Devils await the winner of the New York R a n g e r s - Wa s h i n g t o n Capitals series. The Devils rebounded this season under coach Peter DeBoer after missing the playoffs for the first time since 1996 last season. The sixth-seeded Devils scored twice in the first period and became the first East team to win four straight games in these playoffs. “It was just sticking with the game plan and doing what it takes to be successful,” DeBoer said. “Marty made some saves when he needed to, and we held on.” Max Talbot scored for the Flyers, but

Philadelphia was eliminated in the conference semifinals for the second straight season. The Flyers finished the season without suspended All-Star forward Claude Giroux because of his illegal check to the head on New Jersey center Dainius Zubrus in Game 4. The Flyers underwent a facelift last summer that saw them trade team captain Mike Richards to the Los Angeles Kings and acquire goalie Ilya from the Bryzgalov Phoenix Coyotes. The Kings and Coyotes will play in the West finals while the Flyers watch from home. The Flyers again failed in the postseason to hold a quick lead after Talbot scored in the first. The Devils also survived a rugged series of hits unleashed by a frustrated Flyers team that failed to build anything off their first-round victory over Pittsburgh. Anton Volchenkov, Marek Zidlicky and Zubrus all suffered punishing hits that knocked them down on the ice in Game 5.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 easy wins. Brumbaugh shut out Northwestern’s Nathan Bail 6-0, 6-0 and Kenton Ridge’s Zach Sterzenbach 6-0, 6-0 to reach the quarterfinals, then simply Urbana’s overpowered Wayne Wildman 6-0, 6-0 to reach the semis, keeping his focus and composure despite his opponent’s inability to match his own shots’ pace. “Yeah, it’s a change of pace when it comes back at me softer. It can be hard to adjust,” Brumbaugh said. “These first couple rounds I saw a lot of that, but there will be some good players in the semis. I doubt that’ll be a problem from here on out.” Wildman almost got a game against Brumbaugh a number of times, but the freshman showed some finesse to go with the power, keeping points going long enough to force mistakes from the Hillclimber junior. Then, leading 4-0 already in the second set, Brumbaugh served up four consecutive aces — with a let as the only blemish — to go up 5-0. And he finished off the match in style with a smash at the net. “(My serve) has just been coming on recently as I’ve gotten taller,” Brumbaugh said. “My dad (Steve) always had a big serve when he played, and he’s had me working on it hard.” “The kids in the draw all know each other. They know what kind of player he is, and they kind of stayed away from him,” Milton-Union coach Roger Davidson said. Now Brumbaugh’s quest for a No. 1 seed heading into the district tournament begins Saturday with Lehman’s Dan Sehlhorst, who beat Urbana’s Jason Holmes 61, 6-0, upset Northwestern’s No. 4 seed Zach Wildofsky 6-0, 6-4 and held off Brumbaugh’s teammate Beau Smedley 6-3, 6-3 to reach the semis. “It’s nice (already having qualified for district),” Brumbaugh said. “No one wants their season to end. It’s reassuring.” Lehman’s Pierce Bennett — the No. 2 seed — cruised through his side of the bracket, as well, beating Cedarville’s Daniel Chavez 6-0, 6-0, Kenton Ridge’s Hunter Clark 6-0, 6-0 and

Milton-Union’s Beau Smedley hits a backhand return to an opponent Tuesday during the Division II Sectional tournament at Troy Community Park. Northeastern’s Andrew Williams 6-1, 6-0 to qualify for the district tournament. For the senior Winterbotham, it was the last chance to reach the district level. And there was no way he and Dickison were going to miss out. After a first-round bye, they knocked off Jason Northwestern’s Dmeter and Zack Petticrew 6-1, 6-2 to start the day and then routed Lehman’s Michael Comer and Louis Gaier 6-1, 6-1 to qualify. “We’re excited. It’s just really exciting,” Winterbotham said. “I’ve played all four years, and three of those four years I’ve played doubles in the sectional. But this is the first time I’ve made it to district.” And even though he and Dickison knew that Comer and Gaier — which beat Greenon’s Josh Remmetter and Drake Pensworth 6-1, 6-4 and Brookville’s Derek Mayberry and Eric Chambers 6-1, 6-3 to get to the quarterfinal — would be tough, the Bulldogs played at the top of their game and had little trouble. “It was a tough team, but we played our butts off,” Dickison said. “It was

kind of awkward sitting around having a bye early in the day, and we played kind of rough in our first match. It was a tuneup for the second one — and we played much better.” “When you get a bye in doubles, that’s a big advantage,” Davidson said. “Everyone else had to play three matches to get to where these guys are.” Dickison and Winterbotham teamed up earlier in the season when the Bulldogs and Cavaliers played head-tohead, but Dickison is used to playing doubles, having played at first with Jack Blevins most of the year. “It was Marshall and I when we played Lehman earlier, but Jack Blevins and I played together a lot — and won the (Southwestern Buckeye League),” Dickison said. “When Marshall and I beat them earlier in the year, I think that was key for our seeding. Lehman’s just all-around tough, and we played a good match both times.” “Now we’re just hoping to win the sectional and get the best seed we can,” Winterbotham said. Blevins and Brackman had a bit tougher path, beating Brookville’s Aaron D’Autremont and Tommy Martin 6-1, 6-1

and Urbana’s Austin Caudill and Brendon Miller 6-4, 7-6 (2) before facing No. 2 seed Luke Schlicher and Noah Icenhour from Kenton Ridge to get to district. After going up 5-2 in the first set, the Cougar duo stormed back to win the first set 7-6 (2) and took a 4-0 lead in the second set. Blevins and Brackman fought back at the end, but didn’t have enough, dropping the set 6-3. “They couldn’t get it back after dropping that first set,” Davidson said. “Their confidence was gone. It’s hard sometimes. Momentum changes so fast, but they didn’t give up.” Lehman’s other doubles team, David Freytag and Matt Ulrich, beat Bellefontaine’s Jacob Campbell and Adam Verbsky 6-0, 6-0 before falling to third-seeded Pat and Casey Burns from Catholic Central 6-0, 6-1. Milton-Union’s Smedley, meanwhile, played a pair of grueling three-set matches to start the day and just didn’t have enough gas left in the quarterfinal. He fought off Catholic Central’s Marshall Miller 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 in a contentious match, then faced off with crafty counter-puncher Jake King from Springfield Shawnee. Smedley dropped the first set 2-6 before fighting back to win the last two 7-5, 6-4. Against Sehlhorst, though, the senior’s legs failed him. “I can’t feel them right now,” Smedley said after the match. “They feel like rubber.” “He was cramping up after the first set (against Sehlhorst),” Davidson said. “He knew it’d be a hard match after those other two. I just told him to do what he could do.” Smedley had beaten Yellow Springs’ Liam Creighton 6-0, 6-0 in a preliminary match before Tuesday, but Craig Hollis lost to Urbana’s Doug Burkett 6-1, 6-0 in the prelims and Lehman’s Mitchell Shroyer lost to Northeastern’s Michael Schmid 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 in the prelims. “We had some good matches today,” Davidson said. “We got one singles player and one doubles team to district. Now we’ll come back Saturday and see where we end up.”
