After about 13 hours of deliberations on Friday, the jury in the retrial of Jamie J. Seitz, 46, 1510 W. North St., Piqua, returned a verdict around midnight, according to his attorney, Christopher Bucio. The jury found Seitz guilty of one count of kidnapping and one misde-
meanor count of assault. They returned a verdict of not guilty on one count of attempted murder, one count of felonious assault and two counts of kidnapping. A presentencing investigation has been ordered, so no date has yet been set for sentencing. Bucio said Saturday that he had “mixed emotions” about the verdict but he was “very satisfied” at the
work the jury had done. “I respected the jury working so hard last night,” he said. “They didn’t take a break. I believe they ordered in a pizza. They didn’t leave the courthouse. They took it seriously.” Bucio said he was grateful Seitz was not convicted on the attempted murder charge but “(didn’t) exactly See VERDICT/Page 3
Power of Facebook Blind dog found thanks to social media BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@sdnccg.com While revolutionaries in the Middle East use technology to fuel their movement, here at home, computer “apps” are used for more gentle pursuits with joyful results. When the Rob Parin family’s dog got loose Feb. 13, Jessica Parin turned to Facebook to get the word out. The dog, Shy, a mixedbreed pet, is blind. The Parins have an electric fence to protect her, but Shy doesn’t always wear her collar because the family keeps a close eye on her when she is outside. That day, however, the Parin children, Ava, 9, and Aiden, 6, were running inside and out and didn’t notice that Shy had gone beyond the fence. See DOG/Page 8

CINCINNATI (AP) — In swing-state Ohio, support has been swinging in a lot of directions as the Republican presidential primary approaches. And with a little more than two weeks left, the outcome still looks up in the air. Polls have shown lead changes every month since last fall, and a new statewide poll indicates that about half of likely primary voters could still change their minds by March 6. See PRIMARY/Page 8

Anna FFA busy in the new year CITY RECORD BY SUMMER MCCRACKEN ANNA — Anna FFA has been extremely busy in the past month. We are excited to have the most American Degree applicants ever, five members who include Keith Elsass, Phillip Wells, Jill Berning, Lindsey Koppin, and Lance Gephart. Each individual must keep track of breeding records, community service hours, participation in FFA, and any hours connected with their Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE). This is the highest degree an FFA member can receive. There are also a total of 10 State degree recipients this year another record for the Anna FFA. They include Shawnie Rump, Tyler Grimes, Adam Berning, Elizabeth Wells, Brandon Maurer, Jacob Becker, Craig Berning, Crystal Schmiesing, Ashley Michael, and Summer McCracken. There were four students who applied for proficiencies: Craig Berning in Turf Grass Management, Nate Metz in Emerging Agriculture Technology, Mary Wagner in Goat Production and, Crystal Schmiesing in Specialty Animal Production and Veterinary Medicine. These students had exceptional SAEs and competed against students with similar SAEs for awards. The State and American degree and proficiency applicants were all evaluated at the District level on Feb. 8 and
passed the district evaluation and have now been forwarded to the state for evaluations in March. FFA officers also completed their various officer books: Craig Berning, treasurer book, Kasia Krauss, secretary book, Summer McCracken, reporter book. Craig’s book includes records of all receipts and disbursements of the chapter’s finances. Kasia’s book must keep record of all activities, committees, and decisions of the chapter. Summer’s book is a scrapbook that includes pictures of all the activities, Career Development Events (CDE), SAE’s, and ads that contain information about our chapter. All three received Gold Ratings at the District level and will be recognized at the State Convention in May. Aside from the awards and degrees the Anna FFA Alumni will be holding their annual breakfast Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Anna Elementary Cafeteria. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy an all you can eat breakfast. Cost is $6 for adults and $4 for children under 12. We will be serving pancakes, whole hog sausage, eggs, hash browns, yogurt, juice, coffee, and donuts. Proceeds from the breakfast go to support the Anna FFA and FFA scholarship programs. After, the Alumni Breakfast will be the Greenhand/Chapter degree ceremony. There will be 31 sophomores receiving their
Chapter Degree and 63 freshmen receiving their Greenhand Degree. FFA Week is Feb. 18-25 this year. Everyday FFA will put on a new theme: FFA Shirt Day, Drive your Tractor to School Day, Hat and Boot Day, and Flannel Friday. Also on Sunday Anna FFA will put on an Ag Olympics. Ag Olympics will be a physical and mental competition among FFA members and high school students. Each year during FFA Week the chapter plans a fun fundraising activity and then donates the proceeds to a charity of their choice. This year the Anna FFA came up with the idea known as “Dimes for Dentinger.” This will be a contest among the elementary, middle and high school students to raise money. There will be a winning grade among each school for raising the most amount of money. It has been 10 years since Ryan Dentinger passed away from an asthma attack. He would have been in the senior class this year, so we are raising money for the American Lung Association in his memory. Congratulations to all degree recipients and we look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming Anna FFA Alumni Breakfast and support of our charitable donation to the American Lung Association.

USDA to hold CRP general sign-up (March 12 to April 6) will be the same as the signup last year. Rental rates range from $90 to $200 per acre per year. Pheasants Forever Farm Bill Biologist, SWCD, and USDA representatives will be on hand to provide a brief presentation and then answer questions. The process for enrollment can be complex, which is why we are providing this service to help out those who are interested. “With more and better CRP, means more pheasants and other wildlife too, which is why we work so hard for this program and for producers” says Jim Bennett, NRCS District Conservationist for Darke County. As in past CRP General Sign-ups, USDA will score offers using the En-
vironmental Benefits Index (EBI). This formula driven system evaluates each tract of land according to its environmental values and challenges and how the landowner chooses to offer it into the program. According to Jim Bennett, there are only a few things that a landowner can offer to do that will increase the EBI score. “This landowner informational meeting is de-
signed to specifically address what the landowner can change in their offer. Some of those “adjustable” factors are very important for wildlife,” said Bennett. Those interested in participating should plan to arrive at the Adams Township House at 2 p.m .or 6:30 p.m. There is no charge for participating and there is no need to register. Space may be limited.

School brought her such joy.

VERDICT understand” the kidnapping charge. The trial was the second in a case based on an incident that occurred in December 2010, when Seitz, coowner at of the former Broad Street Grilled restaurant, had a physical altercation with his extramarital girlfriend and employee Scarlet Ashworth, of Tipp City. According to testimony from Ashworth, she was taken to an apartment in Sidney, where she was severely beaten and strangled over several hours, and was repeatedly prevented from leaving the premises. She testified that she struck Seitz in the head with a toilet tank lid during one attempt to escape. Seitz testified that the altercation had occurred but had been initiated by Ashworth, when during a verbal argument, she struck him with the lid. According to him, the physical altercation lasted only a few minutes, and he was defending himself in fear of his life. Seitz did not take the stand in his first trial on the charges last May. At that time, he was found guilty of attempted murder, felonious assault and three counts of kidnapping, but the verdict was later overturned because of juror misconduct. Jurors in that case reported that they misunderstood the judge’s instructions, and also that one had heard an account of the trial in the newspaper and shared it with her fellow jurors during deliberations, in violation of the judge’s orders. Asked why he chose to put his client on the stand during the retrial, Bucio replied that he had spent a lot of time considering it after voir dire of the potential jurors. During voir dire, he
From Page 1
had asked the jury pool if they would hold it against his client if he did not take the stand in his own defense. One juror spoke up and said she would, and she was dismissed. “One juror was excused,” Bucio said. “But nobody told me it was OK if he didn’t take the stand.” Bucio said his “gut instinct” told him to put Seitz on the stand and said “the physical evidence supports what my client said all along.” In the end, Bucio said he decided because “the jury wanted it, and the jury expected to hear his side.” Jury instruction, if the defendant does not take the stand, includes an order that the lack of testimony from the defendant is not to be held against him. “I’m one of those people who likes to think, ‘No, it didn’t make a difference because the rules say the client doesn’t have to take the stand,’ but it’s human nature, too, that if he doesn’t, you think he’s hiding something,” Bucio said. Bucio said he thought his client “did a good job on the stand.” Bucio had comments for the judge as well, expressing his surprise that there had been juror confusion about the rules during the first trial. “(Shelby County Common Pleas Court Judge James Stevenson) is one of the clearest judges I practice in front of,” Bucio said, noting that he practices in several counties before a variety of judges. “He’s one of the most patient and professional judges I’ve practiced in front of.” Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer could not be immediately reached for comment on Saturday.
Sidney couple injured PIQUA — A two-vehicle crash that occurred on Piqua-Troy Road at 8:31 p.m. Thursday resulted in at least one person being transported to Upper Valley Medical Center for treatment. Chief Deputy Dave Duchak of the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office said that a pickup truck, driven by Joseph R. Spain, of Sidney, was traveling on Piqua-Troy Road when another pickup, driven by Edmund S. Danielewilz, 81, pulled out of his driveway in the 2700 block of Piqua-Troy Road and into the path of the Spain vehicle. The impact caused
Spain’s truck to roll one full time then land on its side on the roadway. The Danielewilz vehicle was spun around by the impact but remained on its wheels. Neither Danielewilz, nor his passenger, Beulah D. Danielewilz, 81, were injured in the crash. Both Spain, 78, and his passenger, Virginia Spain, 81, were trapped in their vehicle until freed by Troy Fire Department medics. Both were taken to UVMC. Neither of them were listed as patients at the facility on Friday morning. The crash remains under investigation by Miami County deputies.

Houston laid to rest WESTFIELD, N.J. (AP) — Whitney Houston was laid to rest Sunday at a brief private ceremony in New Jersey, the end of a weekend that saw the pop star’s family and friends gather at a star-studded funeral to mourn her loss while celebrating her career. Fans and onlookers gathered in several places along the route the motorcade took from the Newark funeral home to the cemetery about 20 miles away in Westfield, where Houston was buried next to her father, who died in 2003. The 48-year-old singer died Feb. 11 in California, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party. No cause of death has been determined.

20 killed in police academy blast BAGHDAD (AP) — A suicide bomber detonated his car Sunday as a group of police recruits left their academy in Baghdad, killing 20 in the latest strike on security officials that angry residents blamed on political feuding that is roiling Iraq. Police said the suicide bomber was waiting on the street outside the fortified academy near the Interior Ministry in an eastern neighborhood in the Iraqi capital. As the crowd of recruits exited the compound’s security barriers around 1 p.m. and walked into the road, police said the bomber drove toward them and blew up his car.
“We heard a big explosion and the windows of the room shattered,” said Haider Mohammed, 44, an employee in the nearby Police Sports Club, about 100 yards (meters) from the academy’s gate. He described a horrific scene of burning cars, scattered pieces of burned flesh and wounded people flattened on the ground. “Everybody here knows the time when the recruits come and go from the academy,” Mohammed said. “This is a breach of security.” Five policemen were among the dead; the rest were recruits. Another 28 recruits and policemen were wounded.
Officials at three nearby hospitals confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. Iraq’s police are generally considered to be the weakest element of the country’s security forces, which are attacked in bombings and drive-by shootings almost every day. The last big assault on police came in October, when 25 people were killed in a string of attacks that included two bombers slamming explosivespacked cars into police stations. Recruits, too, are a favorite
Judicial officials killed BEIRUT (AP) — Gunmen in Syria staged a guerrilla-style ambush that killed a senior state prosecutor and a judge Sunday in an attack that suggested armed factions are growing bolder and more coordinated in their uprising against President Bashar Assad’s regime. The roadway slayings — reported in an oppositiondominated northern region by the Syrian state news agency — came a day after a deadly hit-and-run attack on a political figure in the heart of the pro-Assad city of Aleppo. The targeted killings have not reached Assad’s inner circle, but they indicate a growing shift toward violent tactics by the opposition as it brings aboard more military defectors and seeks to tighten control over the small pieces of territory in its hands.

Dog foils prison break ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) — A stray dog is getting credit for thwarting a prison break in Paraguay. Officials say three dangerous inmates dug a tunnel about 26 feet (eight meters) from their cell to the street, and were about to break free just before dawn when the dog began to bark and alerted a guard. Authorities at the Tacumbu prison on the southern edge of the capital dragged the unlucky prisoners before the media on Friday to tell the tale. “Because of a stray dog we couldn't escape,” complained Hilario Villalba. “When I reached the street, sticking my head out, the stupid dog barked and alerted a guard.”
target. Suicide bombers killed scores of young men lined up for security jobs at training centers in Baghdad and the northern city of Tikrit in recent years. The public outcry that followed from lawmakers and residents after those attacks spurred the government to bolster training and recruiting centers with better protection. But, as Sunday’s attacks showed, extremists are easily able to sidestep security measures. At Baghdad’s police academy, recruits generally are escorted out of the compound to ensure their safety. But once they get to the street outside, they are on their own.

N. Korea’s threat PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea will launch “merciless” strikes if South Korea goes through with planned livefire drills Monday in a disputed front-line area near their disputed sea border, a North Korean officer warned in an interview with The Associated Press. North Korea doesn’t want a war but its people are always ready to “dedicate their blood to defend their inviolable territory,” officer Sin Chol Ung from the North”s Korean People’s Security Forces told AP on Sunday as South Korean troops prepared to hold the drills in an area that was the target of a deadly artillery attack in 2010.

Military, police square off over Marine’s death BY JULIE WATSON Associated Press For the Marines who served with Sgt. Manuel Loggins Jr., it would have been an injustice to stay quiet. So in a move that broke with the military’s tradition, Loggins’ commanding officer at California’s Camp Pendleton publicly rebuked civilian authorities in neighboring Orange County for their handling of the investigation into the fatal Feb. 7 shooting by a deputy of the highly esteemed Marine. Many Marines have been investigated by police and had their behavior publicly dissected by civilian prosecutors in high-profile cases. Only weeks before Loggins’ death, a former Camp Pendleton Marine was arrested in the killing of four homeless men in Orange County. While Marines have each other’s backs on the battlefield, when they get into trouble back home off base, the military tends to step aside while police investigate. But Marines say this time was different.
The death of Loggins has rocked the tight-knit Marine Corps community. Fellow troops describe him as a devout Christian man who was dedicated to his pregnant wife and three children — and was nothing like the picture painted by law enforcement. The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs has said Loggins plowed a car through a gate at San Clemente High School at 4:30 a.m., and then got out as his 9and 14-year-old daughters could be heard screaming in the SUV. The association said the girls told sheriff’s personnel their father had been acting oddly, while Loggins could be heard in a nearby field yelling irrational statements. When Loggins returned, he allegedly ignored warnings by deputies not to start the SUV. A deputy shot him, fearing for the children’s safety, the statement said. Loggins’ commanding officer, Col. Nicholas Marano, countered back with a bruising statement issued to the media: “While I am confident they will do the right thing in the end, I am less than satisfied with the
official response from the City of San Clemente and Orange County. Many of the statements made concerning Manny Loggins’ character over the past few days are incorrect and deeply hurtful to an already grieving family.” The words were especially searing given the military’s close relationship with law enforcement agencies — many of whom are made up of former service members — and the fact that the investigation was in its initial stages. The Orange County district attorney’s office is leading the probe and declined to comment. Loggins’ supervisor, Maj. Christopher Cox, said Marano’s bold statement won applause in the Corps. “We’re glad he stepped up and made a statement over the way this has been handled,” he said. “Everybody reads the report presented by the Orange County officials. Obviously it contradicts what we know to be the case about him. He was involved with his family. His relationship with his daughters was fantastic. They were a close family. To paint it any other way is not right.”
Iran cuts oil exports to Britain, France TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has halted oil shipments to Britain and France, the Oil Ministry said Sunday, in an apparent pre-emptive blow against the European Union after the bloc imposed sanctions on Iran’s crucial fuel exports. The EU imposed tough sanctions against Iran last month, which included a freeze of the country’s central bank assets and an oil embargo set to begin in July. Iran’s Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi had warned earlier this month that Tehran could cut off oil exports to “hostile” European nations. The 27-nation EU accounts for about 18 percent of Iran’s oil exports. However, the Iranian action was not likely to have any significant direct impact on European supplies because both Britain and France had already moved last year to sharply curtail oil purchases from Tehran to less than 3 percent of
their daily needs. The EU sanctions, along with other punitive measures imposed by the U.S., are part of Western efforts to derail Iran’s disputed nuclear program, which the West fears is aimed at developing atomic weapons. Iran denies the charges, and says its program is for peaceful purposes. The spokesman for Iran’s Oil Ministry, Ali Reza Nikzad-Rahbar, said on the ministry’s website Sunday that “crude oil exports to British and French companies have been halted.” “We have our own customers and have no problem to sell and export our crude oil to new customers,” he said. Britain’s Foreign Office declined comment, and there was no immediate response from French officials.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A resurgent Rick Santorum hopes to spring his next big surprise in Michigan. Newt Gingrich looks for a campaign revival in the Bible Belt. Mitt Romney has his home state of Massachusetts, and the luxury of picking his spots elsewhere, if not everywhere, as the race for the Republican presidential nomination roars back to life. After a brief midwinter lull, the Republican field faces a cross-country series of nine primaries and four caucuses between Feb. 28 and Super Tuesday on March 6. At stake are 518 delegates, more than three times the number awarded so far in the unpredictable competition to pick a GOP opponent for President Barack Obama. A debate on Feb. 22 in Arizona, the first in three weeks and possibly the last of the GOP campaign, adds to the uncertainty. The political considerations are daunting as Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and Ron Paul weigh the cost of competing in one state against the hope of winning in a second or perhaps merely running well but gaining delegates in a third. “Not all states are of equal importance,” said Steve Schmidt, who helped the GOP’s 2008 nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain, navigate the campaign calendar as a senior adviser. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the GOP presidential nomination at the August convention in Tampa, Fla. According to numerous strategists inside and outside the campaigns, the Michigan primary on Feb. 28 shapes up as particularly important contest as Romney tries to fend off a charging Santorum one week before a 10-state night on Super Tuesday. Yet of the 13 states, Georgia has the biggest delegate haul at stake, 76, and Gingrich can ill afford to lose now where his political career was launched in 1978. Sensing an opportunity, the pro-Romney group Restore Our Future is targeting Gingrich in television ads in the state, hoping to deny the former House speaker a sweep of the delegates and leave some on the table for Romney to scoop up. Not such maneuver is possible in Arizona. There, all 29 delegates go to the winner, and Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, is heavily favored. “If you’re the front-runner, and inevitability or electability are things that are driving the ballot, it’s important to do a combination of both” win states and accumulate delegates, Schmidt said in an interview, offering a description of the situation that Romney confronts. For Romney’s rivals, firstplace finishes are critical to creating or maintaining the impression of momentum, said Terry Nelson, who was a top strategist for campaign dropout Tim Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor.

Breakfast successful BY LISA SCHULZE Snowy, icy roads and cold temperatures did not stop people from attending the Pasco United Methodist Church’s pancake breakfast Benefit held recently to support Barb Osmun’s battle with cancer. Those familiar with Osmun know she is used to battles. She and other members of the group People First have been fighting for the rights of disabled people for some time. Osmun happens to be disabled herself but hasn’t let this stop her from living life to the fullest. Osmun, of Sidney, explains People First this way: “We are a group of self-advocates with a goal to teach community members about people with disabilities. We also work to make sure that people with disabilities know they have the right to do what they want in their lives, are responsible for the choices they make, and have the right to live and do things in the community like other citizens. “So naturally when People First members and volunteers met with the Pasco UMC where I attend, they came up with a plan. They would have a pancake breakfast fundraiser to help me cope with some of my health and financial issues,” she said. Lloyd Wiford organized the breakfast for the church and praised all the volunteers. “We very much appreciate all the church members that worked that day to give the customers good wholesome food and service to make them feel welcome,” he said. “We especially thank the volunteers and friends of People First who were joyful and cheerful as they greeted customers and kept the dining room tables cleaned and ready for ensuing customers. We all worked well together and made this fundraiser a

Osmun agreed, recalling she knew about the event for three weeks and when the snow came in she became a little worried. A friend, Carl, had volunteered to pick her up that morning and when they pulled into the full parking lot, she let out a sigh of relief. Osmun’s face lit up when she recalled how she felt when she went inside. “It made me feel so happy to see my friends from the church, People First and S&H Products there. They wanted to know what I wanted to eat and I said, ‘Pancakes, easy over eggs and a cup of coffee.’ They brought it right over to me and one of the guys from the church asked if I wanted to have a pancake eating contest.” Some time later, at church, all eyes were on Osmun when the announcement was made that $2,850 has been raised. “Everyone was giving me the happy look,” Osmun said. “Some gave me the thumbs up. I screamed loudly, ‘Thank
you, Lord,’ and the whole congregation broke out in laughter.” Osmun believes in the basic principles of People First. She feels people with disabilities are in the best position to make their own choices, to speak on their own behalf and represent their own interests. The chemotherapy treatments were making her very sick so she had to weigh the options and make a tough decision. She spoke up for herself and asked the doctors to stop all chemo treatments. Osmun’s hair is now starting to grow back. “It’s coming in curly and darker in color,” she said. “I have some good days without much pain and others with pain. On the pain days, I take pain medication and use my wheelchair. On the good days, I enjoy working on puzzles, reading, writing, crocheting, playing bingo and watching reruns of ‘Texas Walker.’” Although no one knows what the future holds for Osmun, People First members offered reassurance in the form of a statement. “We think it is important to believe in ourselves but also work as a team with support from people we trust. We want to be there for you when things are hard.”

STATE NEWS
Sidney Daily News, Monday, February 20, 2012
New U.S. House districts reshape a few races BY JOHN SEEWER Associated Press TOLEDO (AP) — A revamped congressional map is putting Democrats in a bind going into the state’s primary election. They’re being forced to choose between two longtime members of Congress from northern Ohio, Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich, and pick among four well-known Democrats who want to represent a new district that includes most of Columbus. The squabbles are just what Republicans hoped for when they came out last fall with new districts that solidified the U.S House seats they hold and packed Democrats into four districts where they’re left to fight among themselves. Heading into the March 6 primary, there are a handful of competitive congressional races. The only race to watch on the Republican side is in southwest Ohio, where Rep. Jean Schmidt is up against four others. Among them is Iraq war veteran Brad Wenstrup, who lost in a close race for Cincinnati mayor in 2009. Republicans avoided their own intraparty fight between incumbents when U.S. Rep. Steve Austria decided not to seek another term against fellow Rep. Mike Turner after they were moved into the redrawn 10th Congressional District in southwest Ohio. Austria’s decision saved the party from what could have been a multimillion-dollar contest. In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, state Treasurer Josh Mandel is the clear favorite in a field of six who
are vying to face Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown. Mandel already has raised more than $4 million for his bid and is the only candidate in the primary with name recognition. Ohio redraws its political maps once per decade based on population changes identified in the U.S. Census. The state lost two U.S. House seats this time, forcing districts to be reshaped and creating the face-offs between congressional incumbents. The most intriguing matchup is between Kucinich, who’s from Cleveland, and Kaptur, a Toledo native, in the 9th Congressional District, which follows the Lake Erie shoreline. It’s a seat heavily tilted toward Democrats, so whoever emerges in March will be a big favorite to return to Washington. Kaptur, an influential insider on Capitol Hill, is the senior Democratic member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee and has steered millions of federal dollars to dozens of solar and infrastructure projects in Ohio. She’s best known for her popularity among labor groups and her efforts to get the World War II Memorial built in Washington. Kucinich is a two-time presidential candidate with a national following among progressives. He’s a frequent guest on cable news shows and has been an outspoken opponent of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He’s popular among a number of Country celebrities. singer Willie Nelson sang at a fundraiser in late January in Lorain. Also in the race is Graham Veysey, a political newcomer from Cleve-
PRIMARY The Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday also found Rick Santorum surging past Mitt Romney, last month’s poll leader. Before that, it was Newt Gingrich leading, before him pizza magnate Herman Cain, and before them, Romney in a tight race over Texas Gov. Rick Perry Santorum had an apparent lead over the former Massachusetts governor, 36 percent to 29 percent, with Gingrich third with 20 percent. Two months ago, the poll gave Gingrich a 36-18 lead over Romney. The latest telephone survey interviewed 553 likely Republican voters from Feb. 7-12 and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points. The stakes are high in Ohio. The state offers 66 delegates, second only to Georgia in the 10-state “Super Tuesday” voting. That means a lot of campaign resources will likely be aimed at Ohio to sway voters down the stretch. “I assume we’re going to see a ton of negative ads the next few weeks,” said Herb Weisberg, an Ohio State University political scientist, adding that the candidates will make more swings through the state. “I think that’s going to be important. They’re going to target the parts of the state they consider the best for each of them,” Weisberg said. “We’ll see these polls shifting in the next few weeks,” said Mark Weaver, a veteran GOP consultant in Ohio who is supporting Romney. He says Romney’s steady
pace will prevail. “It’s like the tortoise and the hare. All the other folks have been taking turns being the hare.” Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, and Romney, a native of Michigan, are headed to a showdown first in Michigan on Feb. 28. Former House Speaker Gingrich, trying to marshal his resources for a Super Tuesday comeback, has signaled he will make a substantial effort in Ohio. He campaigned from Cincinnati to Cleveland in an earlier, four-city February swing. Santorum could build upon his recent momentum if he can continue to gain support from Christian social conservatives who have been a major force in some recent Ohio elections. He has been stepping up his efforts in the state, with four weekend events scheduled. Texas Rep. Ron Paul has lagged behind in the Ohio polls, getting some 9 percent in the last Quinnipiac poll. However, his backers say he has good grass-roots support. “He attracts a lot of different people,” said Chris Littleton, a Cincinnati tea party activist who likes Paul. “He is wildly popular with young people.” They’re also urging independent and Democratic supporters of Paul to vote in the Republican primary. Crossing over in Ohio’s primary is relatively easy to do — just ask Mike Morris. The fictional Democratic presidential candidate played by George Clooney in “The Ides of March” blamed his Ohio primary
land who consistently has criticized Kaptur and Kucinich for spending decades in Congress and lacking fresh ideas. Running for the Republican nomination in the same district is Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber. He was put into the political spotlight after meeting Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. Wurzelbacher is up against Steve Kraus, a real estate agent from Sandusky. The newly created 3rd Congressional District, centered in Columbus, was specifically drawn with a concentration of black voters after minority lawmakers objected to a revised political map that was proposed last year. Black lawmakers in the state Legislature complained that the original version split up minorities in urban areas and didn’t give them a voice. They now say they think the new Columbusarea congressional district will give minority candidates a good chance to get elected. But it won’t be that easy. Former one-term U.S. Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, who is white, is seeking the seat after losing her spot in Congress two years ago. She has the most money available and support from organized labor. Former state Rep. Joyce Beatty, who is black, has the backing of Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman. Also in the race are Columbus city councilwoman Priscilla Tyson and state Rep. Ted Celeste, brother of former Ohio Gov. Dick Celeste. Ohio has one black member of Congress, U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, of Cleveland.
From Page 1 loss on Republican crossover voters. The state’s crucial history for Republicans — none has won the White House without carrying Ohio — make the primary a key test of wouldbe GOP nominees’ appeal in a diverse state of big cities, small towns and large rural stretches. “We’re a big state and in a lot of ways, Ohio is a microcosm of America as a whole,” Weaver said. Polls have indicated it is likely to be a close, pivotal state in November. One of the most consistent Ohio survey findings has been Romney faring best among Republicans in a head-to-head matchup with President Barack Obama in the general election. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Romney (44) and Obama (46) were in a virtual dead heat, while the Democratic president led Santorum 47-41 and Gingrich 50-38. Supporters of Obama, who carried Ohio in 2008, have been active in the state for months in preparation for November. Ohio spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said supporters have held thousands of volunteer meetings, house parties, voter registration efforts, canvasses and phone banks already. “Regardless of the outcome of the Republican primaries, one thing is for sure — the Obama campaign has the strongest grass-roots organization of any candidate moving forward in Ohio,” Kershaw said. ——— Contact the reporter at http://www.twitter.com/ dansewell

Village’s fate uncertain UNIOPOLIS (AP) — A northwest Ohio farming village that has been around since 1837 and now sits in the shadows of a busy interstate might be doomed after state budget cuts pushed leaders to slash its spending and lay off its only police officer. Uniopolis’ mayor said they may not have any other choice but to dissolve the village and allow Union Township to take over services. Last summer, Ohio began what will be a $1 billion reduction in funding for cities, townships and other local governments over the next two years. The drop will come through a combination of cuts to state funding and changes to the tax money the local governments get.
It all amounted to a 25 percent cut in state aid, with another cut likely next year. Many cities and townships asked voters to make up the difference but Uniopolis Mayor William Rolston told The News Lima (http://bit.ly/x18cFP) that the village’s 272 residents don’t want to raise property taxes. He said there aren’t enough businesses to make an income tax work. Among the handful of businesses are a grain elevator, beauty parlor and a small machine shop. About 100 residents met last week to discuss the budget situation, but nothing was decided. “They want to do whatever is cheaper on their pocketbooks,” said
Rolston, who has been mayor nearly 19 years. So far, village officials have cut the annual budget by more than half — from $119,000 down to $50,000. That includes shutting down the one-man police department. “He’s laid off right now, but we’re going to have to let him go,” Rolston said. “Basically, all we’re doing is surviving, paying the electricity and the rest.” Without a levy to pay for services, the village likely could be dissolved. “The town has decided if we couldn’t get the money to continue, we should just go back to the township,” Rolston said. It would take about a year for the village to go through that process.
DOG
From Page 1
“It was an our before we knew she was gone,” Jessica said. “We started searching. I called the police and they came and looked around. And I posted it on Facebook. Everyone was so helpful, reposting it.” The search was to no avail that day. Or the next. Or the next. Facebook postings increased. The Parins bounced between hope and fear. They have owned Shy for three years. It had been Rob’s decision to visit the Humane Society for a pet. “When I saw her, I knew she was my dog,” Jessica said. Officials at the Humane Society theorized that the dog was about two years old. She was not blind then. “She has SARDS and Cushing’s disease, which usually affect older dogs,” Jessica said. “The vet, Dr. Lauren (Zemlick) at Stonyridge (in Troy), said that it’s rare in a dog so young.” It’s the diseases that blinded Shy about six months ago. By the fourth day after Shy ran away, the Facebook campaign to
find her had spread Sidney. throughout Posters printed from the website began to appear in local businesses. The Parins had posted a sizeable reward. Dozens of strangers began to look for the lost canine. And it was strangers who found her at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday about a mile from home, huddled against a fence in an open field along Kuther Road, near NK Parts. “I had got on Facebook on one of those sites where they sell things,” said Angie Buchanan, of Sidney, “and I saw (the posting about Shy). I started reading it and it said something about being near Menard’s.” When her husband, Mike, got home from his job at Shelby County Water and Sewer, Angie told him about Shy.” “I just saw that dog today at lunch time,” Mike said. “He kept running into a fence.” Mike and the Buchanan’s daughter, Jessica, went in search of Shy. Angie followed a short time later. “We have three dogs. I just felt compassion for
those people,” Angie said. Within a hour, father and daughter came upon the dog. She was lying on the ground and they feared she had died. But as they approached, Shy got up. Mike and Jessica Buchanan telephoned Angie who telephoned Jessica Parin. Parin met them and Shy happily came to her owner when Parin called her. The dog was in a place where the Parins had previously looked, but she had been hiding in the woods. “They offered us a reward,” Angie said, “but we told them, ‘No way!’” I was just happy we got the dog home.” After four days without food or water, in the cold and rain, Shy was pretty upset, Parin said Friday. The dog wasn’t eating much and her breathing was labored. She was sleeping a lot and was to be checked over by the vet later in the day. “But she’s glad to be home,” Parin said. “She’s been wagging her tail a lot.” And the Facebook network rejoiced in postings from all over town.

The benefits of organic gardening BY WARREN KOOGLER
nity to eliminate all or near all chemicals from the food you eat. Is it harder to grow food organically? No, but it is more labor intensive. When you see those weeds, rather than reach for the weed killer, you choose a hoe. When the bugs invade, don’t reach for the insecticide, mix up some insecticidal soap and spray instead. I will admit that growing tree fruit is harder to grow organically than vegetables. We are so accustomed to picking up an apple without a blemish that is almost unheard of peeling away that blemish before eating. One method for the reduction or need for chemicals on fruit trees is by the more environmentally friendly approach called integrated pest management (IPM) The secret to a successful organic garden or any other for that matter is good healthy soil. I know that this time of the year it is hard to do any improvement to your soil, but now is the time for planning. If you have well drained soil you can apply a layer of compost, leaves or well rotted manure on the area now so that it will be well settled in time to turn under in the spring. It is easier to grow healthy plants in soil that is full of organic material and alive with all types of critters. Those critters are called the soil food web and should include all types of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes along with earthworms of course. Healthy soil must also be at the right pH for good plant growth. Shelby County Master Gardeners has a member with a Certificate in Organic Gardening Methods. Watch for more on soil health from the Shelby County Master Gardeners on these pages in the future. The writer is a member of the Shelby County Master Gardeners.

Is organic food really better for you? Does it really taste different? Far be it from me to say. I can tell you that fresh homegrown food really tastes better. Having gardened for more than 50 years, most of that being grown organically, I do feel that what my family ate was fresher, tastier and safer from the standpoint of the amount of chemicals the family was exposed to. Recently there has been some disturbing news from the agricultural department and the CDC about fungicides in orange juice. This orange juice was not produced in the USA, it was imported from Brazil. The fungicide found in the imported juice is banned in the USA. So why is about 25 percent of our orange juice imported, of which 40 percent comes from Brazil? It’s Americans insatiable desire for certain foods and our growing Travel population. through Florida and seen the thousands of acres that were orange groves just a decade or so ago. Those acres are now covered with housing developments. But wait there is an alternative. Approximately 99 percent of grapefruit juice consumed in the USA is produced here. So how much of our food supply actually is elsewhere? produced Christina Rexrode an AP Writer writing in the Herald of Bradenton, Florida furnishes the following; According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture almost 17 percent of our total food supply is imported i.e.; 50 percent fresh fruit, 86 percent of fish and shellfish, and remember that juice, 85 percent of all that apple juice that our children love so well comes from China. So what does this have to do with the gardeners in Shelby County? Buy local or start making plans for your own garden. Start some fruit trees and soon you can harvest your own fresh fruit. How about berries? Not much space needed and a quick crop. Growing your own fruit and vegetables gives you the opportu-

He is in the Navy and will be in the service for three years and six months. There is no chance my daughter and the baby’s father will ever get married. I want the baby’s surname to be that of my daughter. She wants the surname to match the baby’s father. I think this is ridiculous because the baby may never in his lifetime get to see his father’s face but will see his mother’s a thousand times a day. Your thoughts are appreciated. — Mom, Dallas, Texas MOM: It’s your daughter who must have the final say on the name of her child. Don’t hassle her about this. She has a difficult task
ahead and doesn’t need an unnecessary debate to add to her burden. Your daughter needs you now more than ever. Be there for her with all the love you can give. And remember, there is always the possibility that things could change when the father returns. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

The chances of your ex-girlfriend’s returning to you are slim and none, with a strong emphasis on the word “none.” If it’s your turn once again to host a “friendly” poker party and if it’s in conflict with a party your new girlfriend is planning to attend, accompany her and your poker buddies will just have to find another “casino” that night.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Five: Week Five War is a strange thing. It is horrible and nasty and evil. But even so, people get awfully creative in the middle of it. A lot of that creativity just winds up making better ways of killing people and destroying things, but sometimes some really cool stuff comes out of it. The American Civil War was no exception. On the destructive side, there was the invention of the Gatling gun. Basically, this was the first machine gun and it was invented by a guy who studied medicine at the Ohio Medical College. Now it may seem kind of weird that someone who studied medicine would wind up making weapons, but there was a reason for it. See, Gatling figured that if he could invent a single weapon that could do the job of a whole bunch of soldiers, then there wouldn’t be a need for as many soldiers on the battlefield. That’s what he said anyway. We all know how that worked out. On the gentler side, it was during the Civil War that anyone used any kind of aircraft to spy on their enemies. No, there weren’t any airplanes back then. They used balloons. And the man who was in charge of the whole thing was Thaddeus Lowe. It was kind of funny, really. See, Lowe was trying to fly from Cincinnati, Ohio, to the Atlantic Ocean, but got a little lost. Instead, he wound up landing in North Carolina (too bad for him that the Civil War had started about a week earlier). The confederates arrested him for a spy, but he was able to talk his way out of that and they let
him go. When he got back to Cincinnati to get his balloons, he found that President Lincoln thought that using balloons to get information about the enemy was a pretty good idea. And that brings us to Uncle Ethan’s next letter. February 9, 1863 Wilf, We still fight, here in Kentucky and the southernmost part of our blessed state of Ohio. The land is different here. At home, when the ground is cleared for fields or pasture, you can see as far as the trees will allow. Not so here. It is as if the ground has bunched and heaved, like a blanket poorly folded. Here it is hard to see ten feet, let alone ten miles, for the hills and valleys. And Johnny Reb knows this. He hides up in the hills and rains down bullets upon our heads. He slips behind rocks and trees and sneaks back around behind us. There are a great many Union soldiers and we have great men leading us, but far too many times we cannot find our enemy in order to fight back. There is hope, though, that this is changing and there is a very strange and wonderful reason for that.

On a sortie several weeks back, I had reason to look up and what I saw nearly took my breath away. It was a balloon, and no small child’s toy, either. It was a balloon big enough to hold a large wicker basket and in that basket was a man. I could not see him well, but he seemed to be looking steadily about him. Not too long after I had seen the balloon, we were told to prepare ourselves, for a band of Confederates was moving toward us. And so there were, Wilf. Because we knew of them, we took them, all seven of them, without losing a single man. I later learned that it was the work of the Balloon Man, as I have taken to calling him. He is a lookout in an evermoving tower. He can spy the enemy and, through the use of a wireless, report what he sees to others on the ground. It is a remarkable thing and I pray for more such providences. Ethan

Did You Know? Hey kids, did you know you can send a letter directly to the White House? Here’s the address: The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 Let us know if you hear from the president!
George Washington President's Day is a celebration of both George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays. The holiday is celebrated on the third Monday of February. George Washington, known as "The Father of Our Country," was the first president of the United States of America. He played a major role in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence signed on July 4, 1776, declaring the Colonies to be free and independent states. He fought valiantly in the American Revolution and led the colonists to freedom as the commander in chief of the Continental Army. He was a wise and courageous man admired for his honesty and strength of character. Two famous tales told about him are from the book, "The Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington" by Parson Mason Locke Weems. Parson Weems speaks of George tossing a stone across the Rappahannock River. (Later, the stone became a silver dollar in American folk lore.) He also speaks of his having chopped down a cherry tree and admitting it to his father, as he could not tell a lie. Whether these stories are fact or fiction is uncertain but, both are favorite sto-
ries associated with Washington. George Washington, a Virginian and plantation owner himself of the estate known as Mount Vernon on the Potomac River, was a methodical man. He gave a great deal of thought to every decision he made. However, once his decision was made he did not waver in his resolve. Valley Forge is a testimonial to that resolve. Valley Forge was a strategic location chosen because it separated the British forces in Philadelphia from the colonist Congress operating in York, Pennsylvania. It was there with a small army of 11,000 men through a freezing winter with few supplies and many desertions that Washington was able to train his forces, with the help of Baron Frederick Van Steuben. The sheer force of his belief in the colonists right to freedom was what pulled him through these, the darkest hours of the American Revolution. Washington went on to win our independence. Lord Cornwallis, leader of the British forces, surrendered on October 19, 1781. It took two more years before a peace treaty was signed in 1783 recognizing the colonists’ independence. Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president, and he is known as "The Great Emancipator." Nicknamed "Honest Abe" for his honesty and fairness and coming from very humble beginnings, Abraham Lincoln is the finest example of what an individual can achieve with hard work and the ambition to learn and to lead. He read constantly and went to great pains to get his hands on any books he could find to further his quest for knowledge. In his youth he walked miles to get to the only school house in his region. He did his homework by the light of the fire and used the back of a shovel to work out his sums, mathematics. His earliest reading material was the family Bible and he relied on the truths it offered him and the comfort he derived from them throughout his whole life. Lincoln took office as 16th president on March 4, 1861. Six weeks later, on

Abraham Lincoln April 12, 1861, the Civil War broke out when Fort Sumter was fired upon by the confederacy. The War would not end until April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Six days later, on April 15, 1865, the man who had said, "Slavery is a continual torment to me," was dead, assassinated by the actor, John Wilkes Booth. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, giving freedom to slaves held in any state in the confederacy that did not return to the Union by the end of the year. Slavery was not abolished until the 13th Amendment was added to the Constitution on December 18, 1865, after Lincoln's death. Lincoln had stated when he was a candidate for Senator of Illinois: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave, half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the house to fall-but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other." He felt the fate of democracy lay in the preservation of the Union. It is doubtful that a divided America, two separate nations, would have achieved the success and prosperity it has had if the Union had not endured. Abraham Lincoln is directly responsible for that preservation. "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference is no democracy. "

JC girls upset top seed Richard scores 44 in 71-63 win over No. 4-ranked Triad In a verdict that will go down as one of the biggest upsets in Sidney Sectional Tournament history, the Jackson Center Lady Tigers shocked top-seeded and fourth-ranked Triad 71-63 in the first round of the D-IV tournament Saturday at Sidney High School. Triad, which was ranked as high as second in the state this season, came into the game with a 19-1 record. Jackson Center finished the regular season 7-13 and was sixth in the final County standings. None of that mattered Saturday however, because Triad had no answer for Jackson Center senior Brooke Richards. The area’s leading scorer all season long, Richard finished with an astonishing 44 points to lead the way to the upset. She had 12 points in the opening period, and when she wasn’t scoring from the field, she was hitting free throws, finishing 16-for-21 for the game. It was the second time this season she hit 40 or more points in a game. Jackson coach Makaine Huffer could have gone away from Triad at the tournament draw, but chose to go in the same bracket. “The only reason I went against them was because I felt we matched up best with them,” she said. “I could have gone in with Mechanicsburg and Fort Loramie, but we lost to Loramie twice and Mechanicsburg has some big girls inside. I saw them play Triad and even though Triad won that night, I still felt we matched up better with them.” Despite Richard’s big first period, Jackson Center was down 19-14 after a quarter, but outscored Triad 20-12 in the second period to take a 3431 lead at the half. Brittany Foster and Richard both had six in the period.
“We had trouble beating their press in the first quarter and that’s how we fell behind,” said Huffer. “Once we got that down, we were okay.” The Lady Tigers then outscored Triad 20-10 in the third quarter to set the stage for the upset. Richard poured in 11 in the period, then helped the Lady Tigers put the game away by hitting 9for-12 from the line in the final period. Foster finished with 13 points for the Lady Tigers. Kelsey Funderburgh had 31 for Triad. Jackson Center will now play 11-9 Russia on Wednesday at 7:40 in the sectional semifinals. Russia had a firstround bye. “Brooke was on fire,” Huffer said of Richard. “And hopefuly that continues. And the rest of the girls played well, too, and everyone played good defense, which was the key.” Jackson Center (71) Richard 12-16-44; Elchert 2-2-6; Meyer 1-2-4; Foster 5-3-13; Zimpfer 20-4.

Cavs clinch winning mark with win over St. Marys ST. MARYS — Lehman assured itself of a winning record this season, going on the road and beating St. Marys Saturday in high school boys basketball, 58-52. The Cavaliers are now 11-9 and open sectional tournament play Friday at Piqua against Ansonia at 6:15. “It was a solid team effort,” said Lehman coach Isaiah Williams. “We fell behind at the half but the kids really responded in the third quarter. Our pressure affected them tonight. “Hopefully, this gives us some momentum going into the tournament,” he added. Solomon King-White had 18 to lead the Cavaliers and Alex Baker and Drew Westerheide both hit three threes on their way to 11 points.
Tomko back with Reds GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Right-hander Brett Tomko is back with the team that launched his career, signing a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds as they opened camp on Sunday. Tomko, who turns 39 on April 7, was invited to camp, which opened with all 36 pitchers taking physicals before a two-hour workout. Position players are scheduled to report for physicals and work out on Friday. Tomko is a footnote to Reds history — part of the four-player package traded to Seattle for Ken Griffey Jr. on Feb. 10, 2000. The Reds made him their second-round pick in the June 1995 draft. He reached the majors in 1997 and played three seasons with Cincinnati, going 29-26 with a 4.35 ERA in 86 starts and two relief appearances. The right-hander has pitched for 10 teams during his career — Cincinnati, Seattle, San Diego, St. Louis, San Francisco, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City, the New York Yankees, Oakland and
Texas. He was 0-1 with a 4.58 ERA in eight games for the Rangers last season, most of which he spent in the minors. The Reds’ rotation and bullpen have a much different look this year. They traded four players to San Diego for right-handed starter Mat Latos, giving up first-round picks Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal along with starter Edinson Volquez. Unable to sign closer Francisco Cordero, they got closer Ryan Madson and acquired set-up man Sean Marshall, giving the back end of the bullpen a totally different look. Cincinnati won the NL Central in 2010 and returned its roster virtually intact last season, then struggled to a third-place finish at 7983. The Reds spent the offseason revamping a pitching staff that was the biggest problem. Manager Dusty Baker, entering his fifth season in Cincinnati, likes the way his team looks as it opens camp. “It boils down to the more talent you have, the better your chances are,” Baker said. “I genuinely like this team.”
Lin powers Knicks to win NEW YORK (AP) — Linsanity lives. Forget the off night that had NBA fans worldwide wondering if the Jeremy Lin story was too good to be true. The Harvard sensation was back at his whirling ways Sunday, and the stage couldn't
have been better — against the defending champions on national TV. Lin was Lin, and that was good enough for the New York Knicks to win. Lin had 28 points and a career-high 14 assists to carry the Knicks to a 104-97 victory.

Botkins ends with a win LIMA — The Botkins Trojans ended regular season play with a victory, whipping Lima Perry Saturday on the road 67-50. The win gave the Trojans a final regularseason record of 9-11, and they will open Division IV Sectional play on Friday at Piqua at 8 p.m. against Fort Loramie. Botkins trailed 33-28 at the half, but held Perry to just 17 points over the final two periods to pull out the win. The Trojans outscored the Commodores 23-7 in the third quarter to take a 51-40 lead into the final period. Tyler Egbert tossed in 21 to lead Botkins and Ethan Zimpfer added 18. Josh Schwartz finished with 11. Botkins (67) Cisco 0-1-1; Zimpfer 7-2-18; Egbert 6-6-21; Geyer 4-0-8; Goubeaux 1-2-4; Schwartz 5-011; Bornhorst 1-2-4. Totals: 24-13-67.

Edwards on pole for 500 Coming down here I didn’t even consider the pole, so this is huge.” Biffle was not as thrilled. “I’m a little disappointed,” Biffle said. “I hate the wind. I guess if you’re out sailing, it’s good. It was singing down the back, but coming down the front I just got a big gust of wind coming off of (turn) four ... I knew I didn’t have it.” Edwards and Biffle were the only two drivers to lock down their start-
ing positions in Daytona’s unique qualifying format. The rest of the starting order for next Sunday’s race is set through Thursday’s twin 150-mile qualifying races. But only four starting spots are up for grabs. NASCAR guarantees starting spots to the top 35 teams from last season, three spots go to the fastest drivers in time trials not already locked in and one spot goes to a previous NASCAR champion.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Carl Edwards fell bitterly short in last season’s bid to win the NASCAR championship. He’s starting 2012 out front. Edwards, who lost the championship last season on a tie-breaker to Tony Stewart, won the pole for the season-opening Daytona 500, beating teammate Greg Biffle for the top starting spot during a windy Sunday qualifying session at Daytona International Speedway. Edwards turned a lap at 194.738 mph — the fastest pole-winning speed since Jeff Gordon’s lap of 195.067 mph in 1999. Biffle was second at 194.087 to give Ford and Roush Fenway Racing a sweep of the front row. “It’s so neat to come down here and to be so fast and to really have fun qualifying here,” Edwards said. “These are the best race cars we’ve ever had at Daytona.
