To facilitate her project, she is asking area residents to assist by sharing information and pictures so that she can accurately tell the story of the 1937 flood which crested in Pomeroy at 68 feet. Her hope is that she will be able to talk to some people with first-hand experience of that flood and the devastation it caused in Meigs County. Mullins will be coming here on Saturday, March 17 and will be at the Riverbend Arts Council which is hosting her visit. Her plan is to construct a website featuring interviews, photographs, and news articles collected from Pomeroy and Middleport during her visit here.

OCC: PUCO should deny AEP increases Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com COLUMBUS — Proposals from American Electric Power (AEP) to increase capacity charges and to begin charging customers about $540 million in deferred costs should be denied by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) said in two separate filings submitted to the PUCO. Capacity charges are the rates charged to retail electricity suppliers to maintain sufficient generating capacity to meet customers’ demand for electricity. These charges are paid by the competitive retail electric suppliers that compete with AEP for selling electricity to AEP’s customers, including residential customers. AEP’s new proposal is to charge a COOLVILLE — Attorney General Mike DeWine announced that Janet Root, 35, was sentenced this week in connection with her theft of patient funds at the Arcadia Nursing Center in Coolville. Root was sentenced in Athens County Common Pleas Court to five years of community control and ordered to pay $31,471 in restitution. She also received a nine-year suspended sentence. Root, a business manager at Arcadia Nursing Center, pled guilty last November to four counts of Theft from the Elderly, fourth-degree felonies, and two counts of Forgery, fourth-degree felonies. “This should be a warning sign to those who think about stealing from seniors. We will come after you,” said Attorney General DeWine. “It should also be a reminder to seniors and their loved ones to be on the lookout for financial abuse.” The case was investigated by the Ohio Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Section and prosecuted by Athens County Prosecutor Keller Blackburn’s Office. In her position as business manager, Root, of Coolville, had full control of the residents’ funds accounts. Over the course of 2010, Root embezzled $31,471 from several accounts to pay her own bills. Root attempted to hide the theft by indicating in the ledger at the center that the checks were going to pay for patients’ doctors’ bills or other individual needs. Arcadia has reimbursed all of the affected accounts. The Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Section investigates alleged misappropriations of patient funds and enforces Ohio laws protecting mentally or physically disSee THEFT ‌| Page 5 rate of $255 per megawatt-day for capacity, the same rate proposed in its electric security plan settlement rejected by the PUCO in February. But the current market prices for capacity are only about $110 per megawattday through May 2012, $16.46 per megawatt-day from June 2012-May 2013, and $27.73 per megawatt-day from June 2013-May 2014. Market prices are required until a new AEP rate plan is approved, according to both the PUCO’s entry that rejected the settlement and as stated in yesterday’s OCC filing. The OCC did not sign AEP’s earlier settlement that included the higher rates for capacity charges. AEP’s new proposal for higher capacity charges is based on its claims that the company will be financially harmed by the PUCO’s decision to reject the settlement. But AEP’s recent financial results in Ohio reveal a different story. In February 2011, the Supreme Court of Ohio held in a 7-0 decision that AEP was improperly given permission by the PUCO to retroactively collect $63 million from customers as part of its rate plan that covered 2009-2011. The Court also said the plan included more than $500 million in charges that were not supported by the evidence presented to the PUCO. Only a small portion of those charges were later returned to customers by order of the PUCO. And AEP’s Columbus Southern Power utility earned profits that eclipsed the PUCO-determined significantly excessive earnings threshold of 17.6 percent in 2009, resulting in the utility being required to return $43 million to customers.

Anthony, II, and some county officials, Anthony has resigned from office and accepted a plea deal rather than fight it out (and drag it out) with a jury trial. Despite months of legal wrangling and a not guilty plea to the 42-count indictment returned against him, Anthony relented on Tuesday and entered his pleas Tuesday afternoon in front of Circuit Court Judge the Honorable David Nibert. Anthony pleaded guilty to the misdemeanors of brandishing a weapon and shooting near a dwelling, as well as no contest to misdemeanor counts of fraudulent scheme and embezzlement. In exchange for his pleas to the four counts, the remaining counts contained in a 42-count grand jury indictment will be dismissed. In addition, Anthony is to relinquish his law enforcement certification to the state of West Virginia, resign from office, withdrawal from seeking reelection in the May primary, not seek any other elected office in the future and write written apologies to the citizens of Mason County and county office holders of Mason County. In relation to the apology to office holders, Anthony is to apologize for alleging others in county government misused county credit cards. The mood in the courtroom was subdued as Judge Nibert read through the plea agreement with Anthony appearing composed and politely answering questions when asked. Anthony had no reaction as Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Damon Morgan spoke about the charges Anthony pleaded guilty and no contest to in the agreement. Morgan said he was prepared to present the testimony of Deputies Terry Powell and Curtis Rhodes in relation to the brandishing and shooting near a dwelling charges.

Three GOP hopefuls each claim Super Tuesday wins WASHINGTON (AP) — The ten states holding contests Super Tuesday offered Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich each something to celebrate. What the contests didn’t do is clarify the Republican contest. The Super Tuesday results helped Romney, the field’s putative front-runner, open up a sizable lead over his rivals in the hunt for delegates to the party’s national convention. The former Massachusetts governor can claim his razor-thin victory in Ohio one of six triumphs in a single night as a come-from-behind win since polls showed Santorum with a double-digit lead a week ago. “I’m going to get this nomination,” Romney told supporters at a campaign party in Boston, stressing his mounting delegate lead. Santorum, for his part, snapped a four-state losing streak by winning three states, Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota. Perpetually short on cash with a limited organization and narrow focus on social issues, Santorum seemed to do it simply by not being Romney. “When they say, ‘Oh, he’s finally finished,’ we keep coming back,” Santorum told supporters at an election night party in Steubenville, Ohio. Gingrich won just one state, Georgia, where he launched his political career from a congressional district he represented for 20 years. But it was a threshold he acknowledged he had to cross to remain credible in the race. “I hope the analysts in Washington and New York, who spent June and July explaining our campaign was dead, will watch this tonight and learn a little bit from this crowd and from this place,” Gingrich said at a campaign party in Atlanta. Here’s how they did it: For Romney, the week leading up to Super Tuesday involved a laser-like focus on the economy. After his twin wins last week in Michigan and Arizona, Romney decamped to Toledo, Ohio, and focused strictly on his economic pitch. Romney cast his rivals particularly Santorum as disorganized and interested in tangential issues, which he argued would hurt Republicans against President Barack Obama in the general election. While Romney had allowed himself in the past to get dragged into fights over social issues and arguments over whether he was conservative enough to appeal to the GOP base, he abandoned that course after Michigan. Romney refused to be drawn into the uproar surrounding Rush Limbaugh’s speculative comments about contraception and a female law student’s sex life, even though the frenzy at times seemed to overshadow events on the campaign trail. Romney’s campaign also played the inevitability card, pointing to an inexorable delegate march they insist none of his GOP rivals can stop. The campaign also rolled out endorsements from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and other Republican leaders, hoping to convey the message that party stalwarts are lining up behind Romney’s candidacy. Romney also received a significant boost from Restore Our Future, the super PAC run by several of his former advisers. Together, the Romney campaign and super PAC outspent Santorum 4 to 1 in Ohio, mostly on ads pummeling the former Pennsylvania senator for his spending and dealmaking during his years in office.

AG’s office reminds schools to file safety, building plans COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine this week reminded Ohio school officials to make sure each school building’s floor plan and safety plan is upto-date and filed, as required by law. State law (ORC 3313.536) requires each of Ohio’s 4,356 school facilities to file a copy of both floor plans and safety plans with the At- torney General’s Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and update them at least every three years or sooner, if changes occur. BCI enters that information into the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG) system, which any Ohio law enforcement officer can access quickly — which can be lifesaving information. “Ninety-two percent of Ohio’s schools have filed plans with our office as they are required to do. I urge those that have not filed plans to do so without delay,” said DeWine. “Chardon High School had filed plans with our office as required. Local law enforcement did not need to utilize the floor plan information in their response to Monday’s tragedy. But students and staff certainly did carry out the safety plan, which they had practiced, and they did that very quickly.” Out of 4,356 school facilities across Ohio, 336 have not filed plans with BCI. School safety plans may be sent by e-mail to SchoolPlans@OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov. Hard copies of the plans may be mailed to the Attorney General’s office at: School Digitization Project, The Ohio Attorney General’s Office, 150 East Gay Street, 18th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215. “We hope and pray that we will never have another incident like the one this week at Chardon High School,” added DeWine. “However, we need to help make sure we are as prepared as possible to respond.” Water pollution control agency names executive director CINCINNATI — Peter Tennant, of Milford, Ohio, has been named Executive Director of the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) by its Board of Commissioners. ORSANCO is the water pollution control agency for the Ohio River and its tributaries. An interstate organization, ORSANCO represents the states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia and the federal government. Tennant, former OR- SANCO deputy director, has developed and managed programs in the areas of water quality monitoring, assessment and Ohio River Pollution Control Standards for more than 35 years.

Rockefeller: Congress must act on mine safety MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The Democratic members of West Virginia’s congressional delegation say the latest report on a deadly 2010 mine explosion should jar their colleagues into acting on stalled federal legislation that could help keep the nation’s coal miners safe. “A small group of my colleagues are blocking comprehensive mine safety reform for reasons that only they can explain,” U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller said. “It’s way past time for Congress to pass it and give our coal miners the protection they deserve and justice demands.” Rockefeller’s remarks follow the Tuesday release of a report on the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration’s handling of West Virginia’s Upper Big Branch mine in the 18 months before a 2010 explosion there killed 29 men. It was the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in four decades. The internal review found that inspectors missed problems at the Auditions to be held for Aesop’s Fables production GALLIPOLIS — The French Art Colony’s Riverby Theater Guild will hold auditions for an upcoming youth production, “A Bag Full of Fables”, bringing the treasured fables of Aesop to the stage for mid-May performances. Local youth, age 8 and older, can audition at the French Art Colony at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 8, and at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 10. the National Water Quality Monitoring Council representing river basin commission and has served as co-chair of the Monitoring, Standards and Assessment Task Force of the Association of Clean Water Administrators. Tennant received a bach- tumes for numerous community projects. “A Bag Full of Fables” will perform for the public, as well as for local schools due to a grant award from the Ohio River Border Initiative, with specifically earmarked to support the Riverby Theater Guild’s performances for schools.

In failing to follow policies and procedures, they also missed opportunities to launch six special investigations and to pursue “flagrant” violations, the most serious designation. The report acknowledged multiple failures by field staff but said their effectiveness was compromised by internal communication problems and federal budget cuts that created staffing shortages, inexperience and a lack of managerial oversight. Although MSHA has made significant improvements in the past two years, the report said it’s not enough and offered 20 pages of detailed, technical recommendations for regulatory and administrative changes. “There is no question that the problems that have been detailed in this report are appalling,” Rockefeller said. “… This is plainly unacceptable. MSHA must address all the issues raised in this report and make sure such failures never happen again.” U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall agreed, saying the report depicts a severely flawed agency. Sen. Joe Manchin, however, credited the agency with taking an in-depth look at its failures and publicly committing to change. �A4 The Daily Sentinel The Daily Sentinel O Opinion piniOn Page 4 Page 4 Thursday, March 8, 2012 Thursday, January 26, 2012 Contraception, Analysis: Fending off others The audacity of deceit: Notes Griego: Welfare reform hasn’t prosperity, and the to an incumbent onchase the State of the Union liftedquality peopleof from poverty life Jim By Kuhnhenn, Frank Gaffney, Jr. At no-fault the samecharacterization time, as Ayres of Romney, of course, around the world, doesn’t of our notes,what a presidential contest have that perch of power.

Lopez Publisher Stephanie Filson Managing Editor �Thursday, March 8, 2012 The Daily Sentinel • Page 5 www.mydailysentinel.com Obituaries Debra R. Grasley Debra R. Grasley, 58, of Bucyrus, died unexpectedly Tuesday, March 6, 2012, at her residence of natural causes. She was born June 29, 1953, in Bucyrus to the late Bobby J. and Lena L. (Harris) Turner. Debbie graduated from Bucyrus High School in 1972 when she began working at Galion Dresser until they closed. She then worked at Timken until her health no longer permitted her to do so. Debbie was a strong, independent woman and loving mother. She always provided for her son and, later, her grandchildren. Years ago, Debbie found relaxation playing Nintendo games and enjoyed sports cars, specifically her Datsun 280Z. She valued her years of friendship and time spent with her close friends, Gerri Scarbro and Ann Downing. More recently, Debbie loved shopping on QVC, being on her computer (which replaced the Nintendo only because she mastered every game owned) and decorating for holidays — Halloween being her favorite. But of all her hobbies, enjoying family and helping others were her favorites. She spoiled her grandchildren every chance she got and she loved giving to others. She is survived by her son, Travis Grasley and his wife, Tammy, of Tiffin; two grandchildren, Noelle and Nicholas Grasley; two brothers, Mike Turner and Gary (Connie) Turner, both of Bucyrus; one sister, Sandy (Ted) Coder, of New Washington and five nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents preceding her death, Debbie was greatly influenced and shared a strong bond with her late grandmother, Blanche “Ma” Spaide. Friends may call from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m., Friday, March 9 at Wise Funeral Service, 129 W. Warren St., Bucyrus, Ohio, 44820, where funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday with Life Celebrant, Mark Dettmer officiating. Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery.

In a separate filing today, the OCC asked the PUCO to deny AEP’s request to begin collecting approximately $540 million from customers for “phased-in recovery” charges, representing costs that were deferred years ago for later collection from customers. AEP was to seek approval before actually collecting the deferred costs from customers. AEP has not been given approval to date, but nevertheless included the charge in its revised rates. These deferred costs are directly related to appeals the OCC and the Industrial Energy UsersOhio have filed with the Supreme Court of Ohio. The appeals seek to provide customers with a return of the $367 million (plus car- rying charges) of unjustified provider-of-last-resort charges they paid from April 2009 through May 2011. These provider-oflast-resort charges helped to create AEP’s deferrals and should be offset against the deferrals that are yet to be collected from customers. Both the Supreme Court and the PUCO previously ruled that AEP did not provide sufficient evidence that it should have been allowed to collect the money from customers. The PUCO, however, stopped short of crediting customers for the unjustified payments. The most direct protection the PUCO can now offer customers is to use market-priced capacity charges that will allow for greater competition and to return AEP’s unjustified charges to customers, the OCC said in its filing.

Morgan said the bulk of these charges (starting in February through April of last year) were for expenses related to what Anthony said was a work-related conference in Orlando, Fla. Morgan said Anthony could produce no evidence this conference took place and neither could the organization Anthony said sponsored the event. Morgan said Anthony also took a $200 cash advance from the Mason County Treasurer’s Office as an expense associated with the Orlando trip. Morgan acknowledged Anthony has already paid back these questionable charges in the amount of $2,435 - part of this was made with a payment and another with an authorized payroll deduction signed by Anthony to clear his account of personal expenses related to his Florida trip. The brandishing charge has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and maximum fine of $1,000. The shooting near a dwell- ing charge has a maximum sentence of 100 days in jail and $300 fine. The fraudulent scheme misdemeanor has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and $2,500 fine. The misdemeanor embezzlement charge has a maximum sentence of one year in jail and $2,500 fine. Anthony’s Attorney David Moye told Judge Nibert he felt the plea agreement was in the best interest of his client given the dismissal of the remaining charges and subsequent trial. Anthony’s case has been sent to the Mason Count Probation Department for review before his sentencing which is set for 11 a.m., April 30 in Mason County Circuit Court.

Stuart Roy, an adviser for the Red, White and Blue Fund, told The Associated Press Wednesday that the former House speaker is splitting conservative voter and making it difficult for them to settle on a conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney. Roy noted that Gingrich won only his home state on Super Tuesday when 10 states voted. Santorum won three in states. The Red, White and Blue Fund has spent about $3 million on TV ads so far to help Santorum’s White House bid. Nursing home meth lab fire death ruled accidental COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man killed by a methamphetamine lab fire at an Ohio nursing home was burned over 90 percent of his body, and his death was accidental, a medical examiner said Wednesday. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office said it could not release further details about Shaun Warrens, 31, of Ashtabula. Warrens was hospitalized after the fire Sunday in a resident’s room at the Park Haven facility in Ashtabula, east of Cleveland, and he died Monday. Police have said he wasn’t a resident or employee at the facility. Four more people were hospitalized after the fire, and two others were treated at the scene. Their conditions were not available Wednesday. Romney wins Ohio in close presidential primary COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Lukewarm Republican voters in Ohio gave Mitt Romney the win in the closely watched Super Tuesday presidential primary, while Democrats settled a fight between two incumbent U.S. House members vying for a newly created district along Lake Erie. The GOP was split almost evenly between Romney and Rick Santorum, giving Romney the edge by about 1 percent as voters expressed concern over which candidate would be best poised to unseat President Barack Obama in November. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was a distant third. Voter Lawrence Kennedy backed Romney against Arizona Sen. John McCain four years ago, and stood by him again on Tuesday. “I think he’s a first rate guy very solid and everything, more to the center right than the far extreme,” said Kennedy, 74, a retired college professor from the Columbus suburb of Dublin. “I think he has the best shot.” No Republican nominee has reached the White House without carrying the swing state. Obama carried Ohio in 2008, after the state went for George W. Bush in 2004. In the Democratic U.S. House battle, Rep. Marcy Kaptur grabbed the nomination from Dennis Kucinich. They were thrown into a primary fight to represent an area running from Cleveland to Toledo after districts were redrawn following the 2010 U.S. Census. She’ll face GOP primary winner Samuel Wurzelbacher, the Toledo-area voter who became known as “Joe the Plumber” during the 2008 presidential campaign after expressing working-man concern about taxes to then-candidate Obama. Among other incumbents, fourthterm U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt lost the Republican primary in her Cincinnati-area district to an Iraq war veteran. Army combat surgeon Brad Wenstrup garnered about 49 percent of the vote. In the U.S. Senate, Ohio’s firstterm Treasurer Josh Mandel easily won the Republican nomination. The 34-year-old Marine veteran will face Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown in the fall. Brown is a former congressman and Ohio secretary of state with a progressive following around the state. In the Legislature, all six incumbent House Democrats who faced primary challengers won, including Minority Leader Armond Budish of Beachwood. Republican Peggy Lehner of Kettering, the only sitting senator in a primary contest, won her race. Contenders included public workers who were against the unionlimiting bill passed last spring by the Republican-dominated General Assembly and repealed by voters in November. Among them, Democrat Donna O’Connor, a Dublin teacher, was successful in her first bid to seek a state House seat in the Columbus suburbs. Democratic voters chose former Judge William O’Neill to challenge an Ohio Supreme Court justice. In the GOP presidential contest, retired utility worker Robert Reed, 76, said he voted for Santorum, but doesn’t care for him much as a candidate and wasn’t impressed with the other candidates. “Romney is too rich, Santorum is too religious, Ron Paul is too old, and I just don’t like Gingrich,” said Reed, of the heavily Republican Anderson Township in suburban Cincinnati. At an elementary school that is the busiest polling place in suburban North Royalton near Cleveland, Kurt Fennhahn, 68, said he voted for Romney because he believes Romney has the best chance to beat Obama. “Basically, I wanted to make sure that Mitt Romney got in,” said Fennhahn, a retired utility worker. “I think he can win. That’s what I’m going for.” Teach for America program coming to Ohio this fall COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Teach for America, the service-oriented program that places recent college graduates in low-income public schools, will expand into Ohio this fall, organization and state officials said Wednesday. The nonprofit recruits recent college graduates and professionals to teach for two or more years in some of the country’s highest-need public schools. The organization plans to have at least 40 teachers in schools in northeast Ohio this fall, along with 30 in schools in the southwestern part of the state. Officials also hope to add 70 more Ohio instructors in 2013 and again in 2014. For the coming school year, Teach For America is partnering with Cincinnati Public Schools, Covington Public Schools in northern Kentucky, and public charter schools across northeast and southwest Ohio. Its members also can enroll in graduate-level coursework for additional professional development at the University of Cincinnati and Cleveland State University. Gov. John Kasich vowed in his first State of the State address last year to bring the program to Ohio. He later signed a bill opening the door for it. The organization said the state also awarded it funds from its federal Race to the Top dollars to support the program’s launch in Ohio. Kasich, a first-term Republican, praised communities for working with Teach For America to help recruit new educators. “I’m confident that the long-term leadership and dedication of these teachers will have positive impacts in schools across our state,” Kasich said in a Wednesday statement. Supporters of Teach for America say the organization provides an important pipeline of new teachers. Critics cite the teachers’ high turnover rate, limited training and inexperience. More than 48,000 people have applied to the Teach for America program for this year, and applicants include nearly 1,200 Ohioans, the organization said.

By virtue of the sweep, the RedStorm evened their overall record at 8-8 after starting the season with six straight losses. Ryan Robertson and David Steele authored complete game efforts on the mound in the victories for Rio Grande. Robertson (2-2), a junior left-hander, scattered nine hits and six walks over nine innings in the opener, while Steele (30) allowed six hits and one walk over seven innings in the nightcap. Rio Grande took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game one when senior Brian Suerdick reached on a two-out single, stole second and scored when junior Shane Spies’ grounder to second was errored, but the Bears bounced right back to tie the game at 1-1 when Adam Overbay led off with a bunt single and eventually scored on a wild pitch by Robertson. The RedStorm took the lead for good in the third when junior Mark Parent and junior Kyle Perez began the inning with back-toback singles and then executed a double steal, with Parent stealing home on the back end of the play to make it 2-1. A throwing error moments later allowed Perez to race home. Pikeville got one of the markers back in the bottom of the inning, but Rio extended its advantage back to 4-2 in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Suerdick. The Bears again closed to within one run by scoring once in the home fifth, but the RedStorm sealed the win by tacking on a pair of insurance runs in the sev- enth. Freshman Luke Taylor began the inning with a single and Parent reached on an error before a sacrifice bunt by Perez put both runners in scoring position. A wild pitch scored Taylor and a sacrifice fly by freshman Grant Tamane brought home Parent. Spies and Taylor finished with two hits each for the RedStorm, while Brad Andrews went 3-for-5 and Corey Adams had two hits in the loss for UPike. David Bishop started and took the loss for the Bears. In game two, Rio spotted their hosts a two-run first inning lead, but went on to bang out 15 hits and close the contest with 10 unanswered runs. The Bears parlayed a pair of hits and two RedStorm errors into two first inning markers, but Rio began the road back in the second when freshman Mitch Martinez stole home on the back end of a double steal and tied the game in the third when Perez singled with one out and eventually scored on a throwing error. Pikeville (3-9, 1-2) regained a 3-2 lead thanks to an RBI fielder’s choice grounder by Adams in the bottom of the third, but the RedStorm went in front to stay with two runs in the fourth inning. Justin Cavender plated the tying run with a single and Taylor fol- lowed with a go-ahead runscoring hit. Rio turned the game into a blowout with three runs in the sixth and five more runs in the seventh. Perez and freshman Tim Easterling both had RBI hits and Taylor had another steal of home in the sixth, while Martinez, Taylor and freshman Ethan Abell contributed run-scoring hits in the seventh. Perez and Taylor both finished with three hits, while Cavender and Martinez had two hits each. Taylor also had two RBI. Mike Rapazzo started and suffered the loss for UPike. Colts announce they’re releasing Peyton Manning INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts ended their successful partnership with a tearful goodbye Wednesday, when team owner Jim Irsay released the star quarterback rather than pay a whopping $28 million bonus while there are lingering questions about his health. “We all know that nothing lasts forever,” Manning said. “Times change, circumstances change, and that’s the reality of playing in the NFL.” Manning and Irsay each paused frequently, fighting tears and their voices shaking, as they appeared together at a news conference at the Colts’ team complex. It was an unusual and awkward scene, two men whose NFL lives have been so closely intertwined, standing side-by-side in jackets and ties as they told the world they were splitting up. “This has not been easy for Jim,” Manning said, “and this has certainly not been easy for me.” The 35-year-old Manning will become a free agent, and is expected to generate interest from a half-dozen or so NFL clubs, provided he’s healthy. Manning is coming off a series of operations to his neck and missed all of last season when his team’s record, not coincidentally, plummeted to 2-14. “Peyton is on the mend to try to resume his career,” Irsay noted. Indianapolis needed to cut Manning this week to avoid paying him a bonus from the $90 million, fiveyear contract he signed in July, although both owner and player insisted the decision was not really about money. The Colts are widely expected to begin moving on by taking Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft. Irsay repeatedly used the word “rebuilding” and acknowledged: “We’re definitely a few years away.” Manning won’t retire and hopes to be playing in the NFL at the start of next season. Still, he said Wednesday: “I’ll always be a Colt. I always will be. That’ll never change.” The announcement was made in a room at the Colts’ complex normally reserved for celebratory news conferences, such as the hiring of a new coach or general manager two other major steps Irsay took recently.

The Tornadoes (18-4) began the contest with a four-minute 7-1 run but Manchester bounced back with a 13-6 run to end the quarter. MHS took the one point lead and the momentum into the second stanza. The Greyhounds used the momentum they had gained in the first period to begin the second with a 17-5 that lasted six minutes.

He says he can’t remember a Big Ten season where the top of the league was so balanced and the bottom-tier teams were so competitive. Not since he became a head coach, not since he joined the Michigan State staff in 1986. He believes the Big Ten is the nation’s best conference. “I don’t think there’s any question, and you’ll get arguments until the cows come home about what conference is the best, this and that, I still say, you look top to bottom, and if it isn’t the best, this year is the best of the 27 years I’ve been here,” Izzo said. It also means that the Big Ten tournament, which begins Thursday at Banker’s Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, is one of the most unpredictable ever. “In years past, you would say, these two teams and maybe a surprise here and there,” Northwestern coach Bill Carmody said. “This year, I really wouldn’t know what to say. Anybody could beat anybody. I think all the way down, there could be some upsets. It’s going to be a fun tournament.” Izzo hopes the balance doesn’t work against the conference. “We’ve all beaten up each other,” he said. “Usually, there’s a couple teams at the bottom that might not have a win in a year like this. I hope it doesn’t hurt us.” Michigan State has earned the top seed as part of a three-way split for the regular-season conference crown. Michigan is the No. 2 seed and Ohio State is No. 3. Those teams earned byes and will play their first games on Friday. Play begins Thursday when No. 8 seed Iowa faces No. 9 Illinois, followed by No. 5 Indiana against No. 12 Penn State. The evening matchups are No. 7 Northwestern against No. 10 Minnesota and No. 6 Purdue vs. No. 11 Nebraska. The semifinals are Saturday and the championship is Sunday. Michigan State’s road this week and beyond will be tougher because forward Branden Dawson has torn the ACL in his left knee. The freshman averages 8.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Of course, Izzo’s teams have been tournament tough for years, and perhaps his list of accomplishments he’s been to six Final Fours and won a national championship perhaps pushes the Spartans into a favored role. While Izzo is proven, Michigan is going through a resurgence. Michigan’s John Beilein said the effort that went into fighting for the regular-season title should help the Wolverines prepare for the tournament. “We’re going to have to have a mentality of sticking to things, and having a right mental approach because of everything that was at stake during that time that you’re trying to be a champion.” Ohio State’s Thad Matta has chosen not to look ahead. “The one thing we’ve always done in going into these tournaments is take it one game at a time, because you won’t know who you’re playing until we get there,” he said. “We never go in talking about trying to win a conference championship. We always go in with the same approach.” While Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State are nearly certain to make the NCAA tournament field, Northwestern (18-12) likely needs at least two wins to qualify for the first time ever. “I think these guys know the history better than I do, almost,” Carmody said. “I just look at it game by game. They probably talk about that amongst themselves.” �Thursday, March 8, By virtue of an Order of Sale issued out of said Court in the action, Robert E.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Temple will join the Big East for football next season and all other sports in 2013, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the official decision has not been announced. The Owls football program played in the MidAmerican Conference last season, while all other Temple programs, including men’s basketball, are in the Atlantic 10. The decision was made by Temple’s Board of Trustees following a conference call. Temple played in the Big East in football only from 1991-2004, but was forced out of the league because the program was one of the worst in major college football. The school played MIDDLEPORT, Ohio — The Middleport Youth League will be holding baseball and softball sign- softball signups “We contributed a lot to their offensive outburst, but they were good tonight,” said SHS head coach Jeff Caldwell. “That was probably the key, I don’t think we got back on defense very well, that hurt.” Coming into this game, the Tornadoes were 12-0 this season when scoring 60 points or more in a contest and 6-3 when failing to reach that mark. The Greyhounds are the only team to score more than 63 points on the Southern defense this season. “Manchester was probably the best offense we’ve played this year,” Caldwell commented. “They scored just about every way they could tonight. It wasn’t our offense. Usually when we score 60, we win.” This marks the final game for SHS seniors Andrew Roseberry, Ethan Martin, Marcus Hill, Nathan Roberts, Ryan Taylor, Dustin Custer, and Andrew Ginther. “We’ve got Southern basketball headed in the right direction and we can’t let it slide,” said Caldwell. “They brought a lot of pride and respect to the Southern basketball program.” Southern finished second in the TVC Hocking with a 13-3 overall mark.

While there, Temple turned its program around and ran off winning seasons the past three years. Temple coach Fran Dunphy declined to discuss the pending move, saying his focus was on this weekend’s Atlantic 10 tournament. “We’re worried about our team and our team playing Friday at noon,” Dunphy said Wednesday. “I’m thinking about UMass and that’s all I’m thinking about.” In men’s basketball, the Owls have long been a power in the A-10, and are the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament this week in Atlantic City, N.J. The Big East has a vacancy next season because West Virginia is being allowed to leave immediately for the Big 12. The school and the conference settled competing lawsuits, and the conference will receive $20 million from West Virginia in return for setting aside its 27-month notification period. The MAC has had 13 football schools since adding Temple in 2007. Last year, the league added Massachusetts as a footballonly member, beginning in 2012. At the same time, the MAC put in place new exit provisions which state that any football-only member wishing to leave the conference would need to provide notice two football seasons before departure and pay a fee of $2.5 million. The A-10 reportedly needs $2 million to leave with one year’s notice. It is not known what deal, if any, was put in place to avoid the MAC provision. And during that Super Bowl week, the hottest topic of conversation was Peyton Manning, not his younger brother Eli, who wound up leading the New York Giants to the title. Arizona, Miami, Tennessee, Washington and the New York Jets all have been rumored as possible destinations now; Manning’s former offensive coordinator in Indianapolis, Tom Moore, worked for the Jets as a consultant last season. “There will be no other Peyton Manning,” Irsay said, adding that he hoped Wednesday’s joint appearance would serve to “honor incredible memories and incredible things that he’s done for the franchise, for the city, for the state.” This marks the end of a strong marriage between a player and team. After being a No. 1 draft pick himself, Manning started every meaningful game for 13 seasons in Indianapolis 227 in a row, including the playoffs and took the Colts from perennial also-ran to one of the NFL’s model franchises and the 2007 Super Bowl title. In the two decades predating his arrival, the Colts won 116 games, one division title and made the playoffs three times. With Manning taking snaps, the Colts have won 150 games, eight division titles, two AFC championships and the franchise’s first league championship since moving from Baltimore in 1984. Indianapolis broke the NFL record for most regular-season wins in a decade (115), and tied Dallas’ mark for most consecutive playoff appearances (nine). Manning is one of just four players to reach 50,000 yards passing, one of three with more than 350 TD tosses, and one of two quarterbacks with more than 200 starts in a row. He broke all of the franchise’s major career passing records, previously held by Hall of Fame quarterback John Unitas. In 2009, Manning led the Colts to the cusp of NFL history with a 14-0 start, fueling talk of an unbeaten season. But it has been mostly bad news ever since. The Colts pulled their starters against the Jets and lost the final two games that season. Indy then wound up losing to New Orleans in the Super Bowl. During the offseason, Manning had the first of his neck operations. Then, after making an early playoff exit in the 2010 season, Manning underwent another neck surgery to repair a damaged nerve that was causing weakness in his throwing arm. When the nerve did not heal as quickly as expected, Manning had two vertebrae fused in September, an operation that forced him to miss a game for the first time in his NFL career. There are still questions about the strength of Manning’s arm. But given all that he’s accomplished, there are sure to be new suitors. “I’m throwing it pretty well. I’ve still got some work to do; I’ve got some progress to make,” Manning said. “But I’ve come a long way. I’ve really worked hard. I can’t tell you the hours and the time I’ve put in.” Colts HYL baseball-softball signups From Page 6 HARRISONVILLE, Ohio — Harrisonville Youth League signups for the 2012 ball season will be held from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 10 and Wednesday, March 14 at the Scipio Township Fire Department. MYL baseball- The Daily Sentinel • Page 8 room is lined with banners honoring some of the team’s greatest stars, including, of course, Manning himself, flanked by Pro Football Hall of Famer members Eric Dickerson and John Mackey. Clearly, this was not an easy goodbye for Manning. He even got choked up while discussing all of the Colts employees he’ll no longer be around, pausing to collect himself while noting: “We’ve got the greatest equipment guys in the world.” “I think about those type of relationships not necessarily always on the field, and the touchdown throw to win the game. It’s the behind the scenes. The laughs. The stories. The times spent together. Those are the memories. Those aren’t going away. Those will be with me for the rest of my life.” Manning forever will be thought of around these parts as No. 18, the quarterback who led the Colts to an NFL championship, barking out signals while waving his arms at the line of scrimmage to change a play after reading the defense something he did as well as any QB. He’ll be remembered, too, for his record four MVP awards, his 50,000 yards passing and his 200 consecutive starts. Most of all, Manning will be the guy in the horseshoe helmet who turned around a franchise and transformed a basketball-loving city into a football hotbed that hosted the Super Bowl a month ago.
