BOE discusses levy 1% income tax levy proposed for Sidney Schools

BY MELANIE SPEICHER mspeicher@sdnccg.com A proposal to place a 1 percent income tax levy on the August ballot was discussed at length Monday night by the Sidney City Schools Board of Education during its work session held at Whittier Elementary School.

Superintendent John Scheu told the board and those present for the meeting the district has a 9.9-mill emergency levy set to expire at the end of 2013. The levy currently generates $4,550,000 for the district.

“Forty-five percent of all our funds are from local sources,” said Scheu. “There has to be something in place to fill the

void (of the expiring levy).”

In addition, Scheu said, in December 2008, a permanent improvement levy expired and has never been renewed by the district voters.

“General fund money has been transferred to the PI fund for repairs in the district,” said Scheu.

POWDERED RED dye erupts from a damaged semi-tractor trailer as a tow truck crew lifts it onto a flatbed trailer after an accident involving two tractor-trailers and a van early Tuesday morning. The driver of the van died. The accident occurred in the south bound lane of Interstate 75 just south of Botkins when the van traveling in the northbound lane lost control crossing the median into the path of two southbound tractor-trailers. Traffic was rerouted through Botkins as the vehicles were removed causing extensive traffic delays.

Toledo man killed in Interstate 75 crash

BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia.com BOTKINS — Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers are continuing their investigation into a crash on Interstate 75 at approximately 3:15 a.m. Tuesday that claimed the life of a Toledo man and injured two others.

Patrol reports state Bret Wood, 46, of Toledo, was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Astro

van northbound on Interstate 75 near the 103 milepost in Shelby County when he lost control of the van on an icy bridge. He drove into the median and then onto the southbound lanes. A 2012 Peterbilt semi tractor-trailer driven by Dean Harris, of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, struck the van on the driver’s side, killing Wood.

The crash ruptured the semi’s driver sideSee CRASH/Page 10A

With a touch of ironic timing, on the eve of a predicted heavy snowfall Sidney City Council heard a report Monday night on another snow storm and how the city’s approach to snow removal could be revised.

Gary Clough, assistant city manager/public works director, presented a snow and ice control plan overview for council. Leading into the presentation, it was noted that the Dec. 26, 12.5-inch snowfall caused “an inordinate amount of calls regarding our response to the storm.”

Clough noted there were several factors that made it difficult for the city to deal with the post-Christmas storm. With the holiday, he said “48 percent of the trained employees were on leave or unavailable. A lot of our people were out of town,” Clough said, noting the street manager was among those unavailable.

“We make plans for the holidays weeks or months ahead,” he said.

Clough also pointed out the 12.5 inch snowfall was much more than the usual winter snow, with about 1 to 1.5 inches per hour falling over a 4-hour period.

STATE NEWS

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, March 6, 2013

Officials still seek Former Miami Co. director Medicaid flexibility to be released from prison Ohio COLUMBUS, (AP) — Ohio continues to press the federal government for flexibility as state lawmakers review whether to expand the Medicaid program under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Greg Moody, director of the governor’s Office of Health Transformation, told reporters Tuesday he’s encouraged by discussions with the Obama administration, but he said it’s too soon to say the two sides have reached an agreement.

Republican Gov. John Kasich has discussed whether Ohioans newly eligible for Medicaid under an expanded program could instead get private coverage subsidized by Washington.

Those low-income individuals could then purchase insurance in the new health insurance market, known as the exchange.

“I believe we are getting closer, but we are not going to raise hopes until we’re pretty certain that even at the technical detail, we can get this done,” Moody said.

The state anticipates roughly 366,000 low-income Ohioans will be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the health program for the poor that already provides care for one of every five residents in the state.

Kasich announced last month in his two-year state budget proposal that he would push for expanding Medicaid, but he wants to know

STORM Among the proposed changes in snow removal include an emphasis on being “more proactive than reactive” in the event of a major storm and to institute an incident command to better manage snow removal crews. Clough also said the city could modify its salting policy to treat all major streets and spot treat residential streets, although he noted that each round of salt costs $1,000.

Clough said possible enhancements to the snow and ice control policy would be to enact a parking ban for major storms to make it easier for crews to clear streets.

Another suggestion would be to develop a volunteer program to help senior citizens and others clear away the snow from their sidewalks.

City Manager Mark Cundiff said “for years we had a clear pavement policy,” but said that’s not possible at the present time. “We’re doing the best job we can,” he said.

Councilman Tom Miller asked about a possible emergency level declaration to keep people off the streets.

Mayor Mike Barhorst said Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart told him that he tells people to “use common sense” on whether to be on the road.

Law Director Jeff Amick said it’s difficult to declare weather emergencies.

Barhorst requested Clough do more refining of the proposal for future council consideration.

Engineering manager Randy Magoto presented an overview of ODOT projects being planned in Sidney over the next

whether the state has flexibility to implement the expansion.

The Ohio Legislature, controlled by Republicans, will have to approve Kasich’s decision.

And many of them are averse to the Democratic president’s signature health care law and resistant to expanding government programs.

In an expanded Medicaid program, the federal government would pay the entire cost for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent — still well above Ohio’s current level of 64 percent. But even at those generous rates, some Republicans in the Legislature say they fear being stuck with long-term costs.

Ohio Medicaid Director John McCarthy has discussed flexibility around expansion with federal officials and other states’ counterparts as recently as Monday, Moody said.

Among the openended questions are what benefits could those low-income individuals receive in the new health insurance exchange and whether the state could impose a co-payment.

Moody declined to be more specific about what the state might want.

“We’re not going to talk about details because we’re still having those conversations,” he said.

The federal law expanded Medicaid to cover low-income people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level,

or about $15,400 a year for an individual. The provision will mainly benefit low-income adults who do not have children and currently can’t get Medicaid in most states.

Separately, the overhaul provides subsidized private insurance for middle-class households.

The U.S. Supreme Court later gave states the choice of participating in an expanded Medicaid program.

Kasich is one of eight Republican governors to endorse the expansion despite misgivings about the health care overhaul.

Moody said he has been meeting with Republican and Democratic lawmakers on the Medicaid expansion proposal, which is being reviewed in Ohio House hearings.

Also on Tuesday, leaders from the Ohio Council of Churches, the Catholic Conference of Ohio and other religious entities showed their support for extended coverage of Medicaid at a Statehouse news conference. The leaders of Christian and Jewish organizations cited religious texts in their backing of the proposal, and they urged lawmakers to get behind the idea.

Jim Tobin of the Catholic Conference of Ohio said bishops represented by the group believe access to quality health care is “an affirmation of human dignity and a basic safeguard of human life from conception until natural death.”

BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@civitasmedia.com GREENVILLE — A Darke County judge released Miami County’s former maintenance director from prison Monday during a judicial release hearing four months into his one-year prison sentence.

Jarrod Harrah, 40, is expected to be released from the MadiHarrah son Correctional Institution no later than today after serving one-third of his yearlong sentence after he was convicted of felony crimes related to misusing and stealing publicly-owned property while he served at the county’s maintenance director.

Harrah, previously of Troy and who has been serving out his sentence at the Madison Correctional Institution since Nov. 5, appeared via a video teleconference in the courtroom of Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein, who approved the early release.

Harrah’s attorney, Andrew Pratt, said his client learned his lesson and needed to be released so he “can begin a period of rehabilitation.”

“It has had the intended effect of punishing him,” Pratt said. “Any lesson Jarrod could be taught … has certainly been learned now.”

Harrah also asked the judge for an early release, saying the “punishment has been extreme.”

“It’s been worse than anything I expected,” Harrah said during the video conference.

Special Prosecutor Andrew Wilson, who said Harrah used Miami County financial accounts like “his own personal ATM,” opposed the early release noting that while a release from prison worked in Harrah’s favor, it was not what was best for the community.

“There is an important utility for the public to know that a (prison) sentence is a sentence,” Wilson said,

noting that reducing the sentence would be failing the public.

Hein said the state legislature deters first-time, non-violent offenders from serving prison time or full prison terms, and he made similar remarks when he sentenced Harrah in November.

“I don’t like the rule, but I have to follow it,” the judge said.

Once released Harrah must report to Miami County and will then begin 36 months of community control sanctions, along with other supervision requirements, 60 hours of community service and paying a $7,500 fine.

Harrah, a former Troy City Council member and president of the Miami County Republican Men’s Club, accepted a plea agreement in the case in September and pleaded guilty to the third-degree felonies of theft in office, tampering with records and tampering with evidence. In November, he was given a combined prison sentence of one year in prison. The plea agreement also stipulated that Harrah pay restitution in the amount of $1,240 for scrap metal he sold and kept in a slush fund. Meanwhile more than $18,600 worth of items that belonged to Miami County has since been recovered from his Troy residence, which has since been foreclosed upon.

Harrah committed the crimes between March 1, 2010, through June 1, 2012, while he served as the county’s maintenance director, which he began in November 2005 and was paid $44,379 annually.

After allegations of theft were made the Miami County Sheriff ’s Office began an investigation that later resulted in several resignations in the maintenance department and similar charges coming against other maintenance employees.

That investigation resulted in detectives seizing truckloads of equipment from Harrah’s home, including lawn mowers, weed eaters, power tools, hand tools, composite saws, custom-made windows, a hot water heater, and a wide variety of assorted tools and lawn care equipment, among other items.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, March 6, the 65th day of 2013. There are 300 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On March 6, 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed at calming panicked depositors went into effect.

(The holiday was supposed to last four days, but was extended until it was gradually lifted starting March 13.)

On this date: • In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell to Mexican forces after a 13day siege.

• In 1853, Verdi’s opera “La Traviata” premiered in Venice, Italy.

• In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and could not sue for his freedom in federal court.

• In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced by the National Biscuit Co. • In 1933, Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, wounded in an attempt on then-President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt’s life the previous month, died at a Miami hospital at age 59.

• In 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II. • In 1953, Georgy Malenkov was named premier of the Soviet Union a day after the death of Josef Stalin.

• In 1967, the daughter of Josef Stalin, Svetlana Alliluyeva, appeared at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi and declared her intention to defect to the West.

• In 1973, Nobel Prizewinning author Pearl S. Buck, 80, died in Danby, Vt. • In 1983, in a case that drew much notoriety, a woman was gang-raped atop a pool table in a tavern in New Bedford, Mass., called Big Dan’s; four men were later convicted of the attack.

• In 1988, the board of trustees at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., a liberal arts college for the deaf, selected Elisabeth Zinser, a hearing woman, to be school president. (Outraged students shut down the campus, forcing selection of a deaf president, I. King Jordan, instead.)

OUT OF THE BLUE

2,300 gem brooch joins exhibit WASHINGTON (AP) — The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History has an addition to its famous gem collection: It’s a butterfly brooch made of 2,300 gems.

The “Royal Butterfly Brooch” was created in 2009 by Taiwanese jewelry artist Cindy Chao. She is donating the piece to the museum, making it the first Taiwanese-designed item in the National Gem Collection. It goes on display Wednesday.

The Royal Butterfly is composed of 2,328 gems, totaling 77 carats. It includes colored and colorchanging sapphires and diamonds, rubies and tsavorite garnets. The centerpieces of the butterfly’s wings are four largefaceted diamond slices.

Curators say it sparkles in daylight but under ultraviolet light in the dark, it glows. Chao put its value at $680,000.

The butterfly joins the Hope Diamond and Marie Antoinette earrings on display.

Fiery Venezuelan leader dies Hugo Chavez loses 2-year battle with cancer

BY IAN JAMES The Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez was a fighter. The former paratroop commander and fiery populist waged continual battle for his socialist ideals and outsmarted his rivals time and Chavez again, defeating a coup attempt, winning reelection three times and using his country’s vast oil wealth to his political advantage.

A self-described “subversive,” Chavez fashioned himself after the 19th Century independence leader Simon Bolivar and renamed his country the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

He called himself a “humble soldier” in a battle for socialism and against U.S. hegemony. He thrived on confrontation with Washington and his political opponents at home, and used those conflicts to rally his followers.

Almost the only adversary it seemed he couldn’t beat was cancer. He died Tuesday in Caracas at 4:25 local time after his prolonged illness. He was 58.

During more than 14 years in office, his leftist politics and grandiose style polarized Venezuelans. The barrelchested leader electrified crowds with his booming voice, and won admiration among the poor with government social programs and a folksy, nationalistic style.

His opponents seethed at

A SUPPORTER of Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez cries as she learns that Chavez has died through an announcement by the vice president in Caracas, Venezuela, Tuesday.

Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro announced that Chavez died on Tuesday at age 58 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer. During more than 14 years in office, Chavez routinely challenged the status quo at home and internationally. He polarized Venezuelans with his confrontational and domineering style, yet was also a masterful communicator and strategist who tapped into Venezuelan nationalism to win broad support, particularly among the poor. the larger-than-life character who demonized them on television and ordered the expropriation of farms and businesses.

Many in the middle class cringed at his bombast and complained about rising crime,

soaring inflation and government economic controls.

Chavez used his country’s vast oil wealth to launch social programs that included staterun food markets, new public housing, free health clinics and

education programs. Poverty declined during Chavez’s presidency amid a historic boom in oil earnings, but critics said he failed to use the windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars to develop the country’s economy.

Inflation soared and the homicide rate rose to among the highest in the world Before his struggle with cancer, he appeared on television almost daily, frequently speaking for hours and breaking into song or philosophical discourse. He often wore the bright red of his United Socialist Party of Venezuela, or the fatigues and red beret of his army days. He had donned the same uniform in 1992 while leading an ill-fated coup attempt that first landed him in jail and then launched his political career.

The rest of the world watched as the country with the world’s biggest proven oil reserves took a turn to the left under its unconventional leader, who considered himself above all else a revolutionary.

“I’m still a subversive,” the president told The Associated Press in a 2007 interview, recalling his days as a rebel soldier. “I think the entire world has to be subverted.”

Chavez was a master communicator and savvy political strategist, and managed to turn his struggle against cancer into a rallying cry, until the illness finally defeated him.

From the start, he billed himself as the heir of Bolivar, who led much of South America to independence. He often spoke beneath a portrait of Bolivar and presented replicas of the liberator’s sword to allies.

MAREN PIEFER, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., (left) enjoys the snow while she visits with her long time friend, Justine Abdelrahmen, of Madison, and her daughter, Aiya, 2, near Cherokee Middle School during a winter storm that came through the area in Madison, Wis., Tuesday. “It’s been magical to be here during this time,” said Peifer, who is from Madison, but moved to Florida to get away from the snow and is now planning on moving back because she misses it.

Snow storm barrels through Midwest to Mid-Atlantic CHICAGO (AP) — A late winter storm packing up to 10 inches of snow sent officials in weather-hardened Chicago into action Tuesday to prevent a repeat of scenes from two years ago, when hundreds of people in cars and buses were stranded on the city’s marquee thoroughfare during a massive blizzard.

The storm was part of a system that started in Montana, hit the Dakotas and Minnesota on Monday and then barreled through Wisconsin and Illinois on its way to Washington, D.C., where it was expected late Tuesday night. As the storm pushed toward the MidAtlantic region, people there were gathering supplies and airlines were canceling flights.

Since the 2011 blizzard that dumped 20 inches on Chicago, the nation’s third-largest city has had it pretty easy snow-wise, with a relatively mild winter last year and a slow

start this year. The storm that was moving through the Midwest on Tuesday dumped 6 inches at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport by 4 p.m.

Preparations for Tuesday’s storm, including warnings to commuters that it was coming, may have paid off. Illinois Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Claffey said in an email that traffic was lighter than normal on Chicago expressways Tuesday afternoon, an indication that many people took public transportation instead of cars. Claffey also said there were no reports of any major traffic accidents.

Still, some in Chicago were caught off guard by the last gasp from Old Man Winter.

Many left their downtown jobs early, with some saying they had to go home to take care of children after school programs were canceled or baby sitters couldn’t make it.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The two American cardinals sat on the stage, microphones in hand, fielding questions from the world’s news media on everything from the delayed arrival of some of their colleagues to their own wardrobe choices if elected pope.

Most experts doubt the upcoming conclave will select an American pope, but the U.S. cardinals are already exerting a surprising amount of control over the message — simply by talking. Their lively daily briefings contrast sharply with the sober summaries from the Vatican spokesman and almost nothing from anyone else.

More than 100 journalists and two dozen television crews from the U.S., Britain, France, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Germany and Italy showed up Tuesday, packing an auditorium for what has become the daily “American Show” at the North American College, the U.S. seminary just up the hill from the Vatican.

Cardinals Daniel Di Nardo of Galveston-Houston and Sean O’Malley of Boston held court, gamely trying to answer questions about when the conclave will begin, why five voting-age cardinals still hadn’t shown up and whether they’d all be home in time for Holy Week — all without violating their oath of secrecy about the closeddoor deliberations.

Suspect in deadly NYC crash ready to surrender NEW YORK (AP) — The suspected driver who fled the scene of a grisly crash that killed a pregnant woman, her husband and ultimately the child they were expecting said Tuesday that he planned to surrender, though police continued searching for him and

said they would arrest him if they found him.

Julio Acevedo, 44, told the Daily News of New York that he was speeding away from a gunman who was trying to shoot at him early Sunday when the accident with a hired car happened in the

Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.

He said he fled the scene because he was worried he’d be killed and didn’t know the couple had died until he saw it in newspapers.

“My heart goes out to them,” Acevedo told the news-

paper Tuesday in a phone call arranged by a friend. “I didn’t know they died until I saw the news.”

The friend who arranged the call, Derrick Hamilton, said Acevedo was running for his life after the crash, and called it a terrible accident.

United Way radio show Thursday live in the studio,” Barr said. “The agencies do so much to change lives for our community that I was looking for another outlet for them to share their services they provide with the community.”

The segment will focus on the human services that are provided by each agency and whom to contact if listeners need assistance.

The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA cheer and dance teams will host their second annual quarter auction Friday at the Sidney American Legion.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the auction begins at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is $2, and food and beverages will be available through the Legion. A fish fry is being held that night; in addition to pizza, sandwiches and snacks will

About 70 items will be available for auction, including numerous gift

Sidney woman’s business growing Featured in national magazine

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com Baby tote bags crafted by a Sidney woman for her home-based and online retail store, Little Rabbots, have been featured in the March issue of a national magazine that promotes American-made items.

Nationalist magazine, which is available in hard copy and online at www.nationalistmagazine.com, features the totes made by Anne Abbott on Page 38.

Abbott opened the hand-crafted baby products business 3 1/2 years ago when she lost her job as a secretary.

“I have been sewing for 22 years,” she said. She started to make baby products when her son was born and it was difficult to find items for little For photo reprints, visit www.sidneydailynews.com SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg boys.

proof bibs and baby clothing for boys and girls using only organic, hospitalgrade fabrics. While she has some stock items, most things are made as they are ordered. She sells from her home, online at www.littlerabbots.com and through her Facebook page.

“I have a kind of store set up in my basement,” Abbott said. “People can call 726-4503 for an appointment.”

Jazmin Whitley, the fashion editor of Nationalist magazine, said she was looking for products made in America when she found Abbott’s website.

“I fell in love with Little Rabbots,” she said.

Abbott said business has been so good that she may be hiring her mother soon to help handle the orders. She anticipates a big jump in sales soon.

“I have been contacted by Wilson Memorial Hospital to sell through their baby store,” Abbott said. “I’m their only baby supplier.”

Legion offers scholarships

Community breakfast Kateri Sherman, 6, of Fort Loramie, eats a piece of sausage at the annual Fort Loramie Community Service Club’s Whole Hog Sausage and Pancake Breakfast at Fort Loramie Elementary School Sunday. Money raised will support community projects. Kateri is the daughter of Matthew and Jenny Sherman.

FORT LORAMIE — Fort Loramie Legion Post 355 has established two scholarships of $1,000 each for Fort Loramie graduating seniors who plan to enroll full time in college and pursuing a bachelor’s degree in any college field.

The student must have attended Fort Loramie High School for a minimum of two years and have a grade-point average of at least 3.0.

The first scholarship is the Fort Loramie American Legion Post 355 Scholarship and the second scholarship is the Post 355 Legionnaire Auxiliary and Sons Scholarship.

As presented to and approved by the Fort Loramie Education Foundation board, the first criteria for the scholarships is achieving the highest scores on the Americanism test provided the score is 75 percent or greater. The American Legion Commander will inform the FLEF of the scholarships winners should this criteria apply. The secondary criterion is “demonstration of patriotic behavior� and shall be determined by the FLEF’s scholarship committee during its normal selection process.

The GPA of 3.0 as indicated on the application is a criteria for this

Application deadline April 15 FORT LORAMIE — Applications for the 2013 Fort Loramie Education Foundation scholarships were distributed by the Fort Loramie High School guidance counselor by Feb. 15.

All applications should be mailed to the Fort Loramie Education Foundation, P.O. Box 118, Fort Loramie, OH 45845.

Applications must be postprocess. It is not a requirement if the individual attained the scholarship through receiving a 75 percent or greater test score.

Possible patriotic behavior include attending Boy’s or Girl’s State, taking part in military funerals such as being a bugler, participating in the Liberty Days queen contest, or becoming an Eagle Scout. Other equally qualifying activities should be considered as well.

A single person cannot receive multiple American Legion scholarships. An example would be when two scholarships are offered but only one student scores above 75 percent on the Americanism

marked by April 15.

To obtain additional information and criteria regarding the scholarships, visit the website, http://www.loramie.k12.oh.us/FL EF/FLEF.htm and click on scholarship information and criteria.

Contact the foundation by getting in touch with a foundation member or through the following email address: FLEF@loramie.K12.oh.us. test. That student is ensured a scholarship by a score on the test, making that student ineligible to receive a scholarship for patriotic behavior.

The Fort Loramie Education Foundation has an active committee of volunteers who oversee the creation of new scholarships and funds benefiting Fort Loramie students. The funds are administered through the Community Foundation of Shelby County.

CRASH fuel tank, spilled approximately 200 gallons of diesel fuel onto the roadway and jack-knifed the rig across both lanes of southbound Interstate 75.

A 2006 Freightliner semi tractor-trailer driven by William Hildebrand, 76, of North Freedom, Wis., was unable to stop and struck the trailer of the first semi.

Hildebrand was transported to Wilson Memorial Hospital via squad non-lifewith threatening injuries. His condition was not available from hospital The passenger in the van, Bernadette Woods of Toledo, was transported to Lima Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released. Harris was not injured in the crash.

Botkins and Anna police, fire and EMS departments responded to assist with the crashes.

Tom Glass, Botkins police chief and second lieutenant with the Botkins Fire Department, said firefighters contained the fuel spill until a cleanup crew arrived. Glass said the powder material from the Harris semi trailer was airborne and “it was a real mess to clean up.”

ODOT responded for assistance with traffic control. The EPA was called and responded to the scene.

The southbound lanes were closed for approximately 11 hours as crews cleared away the diesel fuel and a powder red dye material that also leaked from the Harris semi. There reportedly was concern that the diesel fuel and dye might flow into Loramie Creek, but it was determined that there was no danger.

“It’s really a pretty innocuous material,” said Heather Lauer, EPA spokeswoman. She said about 50 pounds of the material was spilled and an estimated 45 was cleaned up, with the remainder posing no danger.

Sgt. John Westfield of the Wapakoneta post of the patrol, reported a trooper had passed through the area a short time before the fatal crash and reported icy road conditions around the bridge. He requested an ODOT truck spread

“The Board of Educations has two taxing options,” said Watkins.

The first is on taxable income of district residents and estates. The second is taxing earned income of individuals residing in the school district.

“Why an income tax?” said Watkins. “This will help diversify the district’s revenue stream.

“The district’s local revenue is currently dependent on property valuation.

Both crashes are still being investigated.

It was the third fatality in less than a week in Shelby County. Jesse Buford Stevens Jr., 64, of Mansfield, Texas, was pronounced dead at the scene of a semi truck crash at approximately 10 a.m. Saturday on I-75 north of Anna.

Troopers from the Piqua post of the Ohio State Patrol report an autopsy was performed to determine whether a medical condition led to Stevens’s death.

A spokesman said the report won’t be ready for about a week.

Ina Smith, 50, of Minster, died in a single-vehicle crash on canal Road No. 1 near Fort Loramie shortly after 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation into Smith’s death.

“This (income tax) provides an opportunity for district tax revenues to grow when the economy improves.”

Existing millage levy collections, said Watkins, only grow with new construction. The millage is reduced for inflationary increases. Emergency levies collect a specific amount and won’t grow even with the new construction.

The property valuation in the district, said Watkins, has been decreasing from 1998. The valuation declined from $525,937,372 in 2004 to $460,833,190 in 2008 with the elimination of tangible personal property.

Property valuation declined by an additional $13,882,140 to $446,536,600 in 2011 due to re-appraisal.

“Property valuation is projected to drop an additional $2,622,600 in 2013 due to the Board of Revision adjustments,”

For Ron Smith, of Sidney, the opening of the new restaurant will bring an end to long drives to partake of the Big Boy food he enjoyed at the old Sidney location.

“It’s about time,” Smith said. “I was tired of driving to Troy and Tipp City.”

Smith gave the new Frisch’s high marks as he was leaving on opening day. “It’s a good restaurant and it’s a good location.

Too busy to give an interview Monday, opening manager Paul Adams summed up opening day by simply saying things were going smoothly.

The Sidney Frisch’s is open from 7 am. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 7 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday.

LIMA — A married couple from Kenton is facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized 165 individually wrapped units of heroin, 18 Oxycodone pills and 66 Xanax pills, worth more than $107,000 following a traffic stop Monday in Allen County.

The Lima Post received a call of a possible impaired driver on Ohio 309. Troopers responded to the area and stopped a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis, with Ohio registration, for a left of center violation on State Route 309, near Bowman Road in Bath Township at 5:27 p.m. on Monday.

The driver, Keith M. Whitmore, 54, was arrested for OVI. During a search of his person, the trooper located the pills and $650 in cash. Upon contact with the driver’s wife, Kelly M. Whitmore, 35, she produced the individually wrapped heroin.

Both suspects were incarcerated in the Allen County Jail, and charged with possession of heroin, a second-degree felony. If convicted, they could both face up to 8 years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine.

This is also an opportunity to bring in your old or unused medications and safely dispose of them.

Eileen Ambos spoke highly of the restaurant employees. “The waitresses are very high spirited and it’s not an easy job,” she said.

Don Ambos said with the opening of the restaurant he will no longer have to wait until he’s on a trip to enjoy Frisch’s food.

“Every place I go, I would stop at Big Boy,” he said.

Former Shelby County Commissioner Jack Toomey and his wife opted to use the drivethrough service to buy their favorite Big Boy sandwiches and eat them in the parking lot.

“I think this is good for Sidney,” he said. “It shows the support for the people of Shelby County,” Toomey said of Frisch’s decision to return to the area.

“We have to educate the community,” said Scheu of the proposed income tax. “This will be a collection different method. It will be different than property tax collections.

“This won’t be a continuing tax,” he said.

“We’re not going to increase the amount of taxes collected now.”

The board will take action on the levy proposal at its March 18 meeting, which will begin at 6 p.m. at the Board of Education office. The board will have to approve a resolution of necessity, which is sent to the state tax commission by April 26.

A resolution to proceed with the levy needs to be approved and sent to the Shelby County Board of Elections by May 8 before the tax issue can be placed on the August ballot. If it fails, the levy would then be placed on the November ballot.

He also reminded the board from 2008 until today, cuts of $17 million have been made to save the district money.

“That is significant,” said Scheu. “Then two years ago there was a salary reduction for all the employees.”

The 1 percent income tax levy, said Scheu, would be a combination of the 9.9-mill levy and the PI levy. The PI levy had generated $224,000 for the district before it expired.

It is estimated that the five-year 1 percent income tax levy would generate $4,773,662 annually.

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, March 7, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel a bit out-of-control today. Information about your private life is out in public for everyone to see, especially bosses, parents and authority figures.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a poor day to make travel plans or important decisions regarding publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Just fill your data bank.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you’re focused on shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt, mortgages and insurance matters, don’t sign important papers today.

Wait until tomorrow afternoon.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today is unpredictable. You might feel like others expect too much of you. If you please yourself, at least you’ll please more than half of everyone else.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Expect delays, silly mistakes and inefficiency at work today. Lost paperwork and misunderstandings about budgets and equipment support are likely. Just grin and bear it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a creative day for you, because you find it easy to think outside-of-thebox. It’s also a classic day to just goof off. Enjoy playful activities with children. Take it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to cocoon at home.

You feel the urge to relax and hide with a good book, junk food and your favorite game or TV program.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today is full of false starts. You might even leave the house several times before you remember everything. Do not trust communication with others, because misunderstandings are rife.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a poor day to make major expenditures. In fact, it’s a poor day to shop for anything other than food. Pull in your reins.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a goofy day, plain and simple.

The Moon is in your sign today; however, it is free-floating, like a helium balloon that is sailing loose in the sky.

Just go with the flow. Avoid important decisions and expenditures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You want to hide somewhere today. It’s not that you don’t feel social; it’s more that you feel the need to take a breather. (Just take time for yourself.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a great day to schmooze with others in a casual, easygoing way. In particular, you’ll enjoy the company of females. But avoid promises and commitments.

YOU BORN TODAY You are conceptual. You have a highly creative mind and seek ways to give it concrete formation. Others are aware that you live in your imagination, even when your ideas turn out to be very practical. Because of this impulse, you’re very private. In your year ahead, you will study or learn something valuable.

Your rewards soon will follow.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Are Paget’s disease and multiple myeloma the same disease? — D.I. ANSWER: They are not the same disease. I can see why someone might think that, because Paget’s disease of the bone causes “holes” in the bone that can predis-

pose a person to pain, deformities or fractures.

Nobody really knows why the cells that break down bone are activated in Paget’s disease — a virus has long been suspected but never proven.

Multiple myeloma, by contrast, is a cancer of plasma cells, which normally live in the bone marrow and make antibodies. These also cause “holes” in the bones that can lead to fracture.

Paget’s disease, if caught early, can be treated very effectively in most people with medication, usually the same medication used for osteoporosis.

Multiple myeloma, unfortunately, is much more difficult to treat, but cancer experts are devising ever more effective treatments for multiple myeloma.

March 6, 1913 A telegram was received last evening from Congressman Goeke in Washington to the effect that the bill authorizing $70,000 for a new post office for Sidney is now law. This settles all questions as to the appropriation and the new building is now assured.

The money for the building will not be available until July and it is expected that the work on the erection of the building will begin soon afterwards.

March 6, 1938 Two men, believed by police to be dope fiends, are in the Shelby County jail as an aftermath of a housebreaking at the W.C. Horr home on North Ohio Avenue during the noon hour yesterday. The pair had been observed by several people on the street acting peculiarly and police were already looking for them when the incident occurred. One of the men forced his way into the kitchen of the Horr home and when police arrived was in the backyard brandishing a broom. The other one was picked up a few minutes later as he was wondering down Ohio Avenue.

Russell Darnell, also of Jackson Center and Russell Meyers, of near Maplewood, were less seriously hurt. The occupants said they saw the train approaching and veered to the left in an effort to avoid the collision, but the train struck the front of the car and dragged it down the track before the vehicle finally broke loose. The train crew did not real-

——— Lower temperatures and lower waters today brought the prospect of improving conditions in the village of Port Jefferson, hardest hit community in the county during the current flood emergency. For a time, it was feared that the rain during the early evening Tuesday might result in additional flooding, but with the advent of the falling temperatures during the night, this danger appeared alleviated.

A major factor in the flooding condition at Port Jefferson, an ice gorge in the river above the Pasco Montra Road Bridge, continued to exist this morning despite repeated efforts to break it up. Two engineers with the 112th Engineers battalion of the Ohio National Guard at Cleveland arrived in Sidney Tuesday night to study the situation.

OHIO STATE players warm up during the NCAA college football team’s first day of spring practice at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center Tuesday afternoon in Columbus.

Meyer discusses needs COLUMBUS (AP) — There are two new banners hanging high on the walls of Ohio State’s indoor practice field.

One — placed between the signs celebrating the national championships in 2002 and 1968 — says “12-0 Undefeated Season 2012.” The other one, placed by itself on the east wall of the massive facility, simply says, “The Chase ...”

The first is a 30 by 10-foot reminder of what the Buckeyes accomplished last year, and the other refers to the challenge ahead.

They greeted the players when they took the field for their first of 15 spring workouts on Tuesday. It was their first practice since the day after Thanksgiving, their last tuneup before the season-ending game against archrival Michigan. Even though the Buckeyes were the only majorcollege team to go unbeaten, they were banned from going to a bowl because of NCAA violations committed when Jim Tressel was the head coach.

“We’re all chasing something,” second-year coach Urban Meyer said. “We’re 15 practices behind a lot of teams ‚Äî as a matter of fact every team that played in a bowl game last year.

So the chase is on. Some guys are chasing starting positions.

Some guys are chasing bowl

games. Some guys are chasing NFL contracts. ... They’re chasing their dream.”

Meyer spoke to the players circled around him before the start of the practice, stressing core values and what is expected of them. Then the players broke into position groups and worked on individual skills.

There was no tackling since players didn’t wear full pads, but rather jerseys, helmets and shorts or uniform pants.

Braxton Miller, on a regional cover of Sports Illustrated last week as a Heisman Trophy contender, went through his paces at quarterback. He looked good during a 7-on-7 passing drill and a twohand-tap scrimmage between the No. 1 offense and top defense. The junior threw the ball well despite wearing a compression sleeve on his right or throwing arm.

Meyer seemed to spend extra time keeping an eye on the defensive line and linebackers — the two areas he said need to develop the most this spring.

“If we put together a good D-line and linebackers, I think we’ll have a good team,” Meyer said. “If not, we won’t.

It’s pretty simple.”

The Buckeyes are expected to be among the top five teams in the nation in 2013 by sev-

eral national publications.

They return almost everyone on offense, but must replace seven starters on defense.

“The way I see it is it’s wide open and there’s no set rotation yet,” he said while pinpointing the front seven as the focal point of early-season workouts. “They’re all just trying to find their way. (Sophomore defensive linemen) Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington are a leg up because they got to play a little bit last year. But there’s a bunch of other guys who need to get going.”

He joked that some of the upperclassmen haven’t accomplished much in their years with the team and that time was running out for them to have an impact.

“I think you can only redshirt once,” he cracked.

Among those participating in their first collegiate practice were four early enrollees from the 2013 recruiting class: cornerbacks Eli Apple and Cam Burrows, defensive linemen Tyquan Lewis and Tracy Sprinkle and quarterback J.T. Barrett.

The Buckeyes went through drills or scrimmaged for almost 2 1-2 hours. They’ll practice again on Thursday, then will be off for spring break.

ELIDA — New Bremen saw its season come to an end on a second loss this year to Delphos St. John’s.

The Blue Jays, who beat Bremen in overtime at home during the regular season, downed the Cardinals 57-45 in the Division IV Boys District Basketball semifinals at the Elida Fieldhouse Tuesday night.

New Bremen finished an outstanding season with a 195 record.

St. John’s is now 18-5 and will return for the district championship game Friday night against either St. Henry or Crestview.

New Bremen ran into a bit of foul trouble early when Carson Manger picked up his second midway through the first quarter.

Delphos took advantage and opened up a 19-12 lead in the second quarter, but Bremen scored seven of the next nine to make it 21-19.

However, Delphos hit the final bucket of the half for a 23-19 lead.

Bremen had a good third quarter. When Luke Schwieterman hit a bucket, the score was deadlocked at 28-28, and Bremen proceeded to score five more in a row to open up a 33-28 lead on a three-point play by Ben Homan.

But the Blue Jays stormed back and by the midway point of the final period, they led 4237.

Ryan Koesters then drained a three from the corner to up the Delphos lead to 45-37, and things went from bad to worse for the Cards when Homan, a 6-foot-6 junior, picked up his fifth personal foul.

Bremen trailed 47-42 with 2:49 left but the Blue Jays hit four straight free throws to make it 51-42.

Bremen got a three from Carson Manger to cut the deficit to 51-45 with 1:13 left, but that was as close as the Cardinals could come the rest of the way.

The Blue Jays hit four more free throws in a row to up the lead to 55-45, and the Cardinals could not answer.

New Fox sports network coming in August RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone who thinks TV is already saturated with sports of every stripe, stay tuned.

Here comes Fox with an in-your-face challenge to ESPN — a 24hour sports cable network called Fox Sports 1, set to launch Aug. 17.

“ESPN, quite frankly, is a machine,” Fox Sports executive vice president Bill Wanger said Tuesday in announcing the venture. “They have very consistent ratings, obviously huge revenue.

We’re coming in trying to take on the establishment. It’s no different than Fox News or Fox Broadcasting back in the ‘80s. We’re going to have to scratch and claw our way all the way to the top.”

To do that, Fox executives are confident they have enough live events, with rights to college basketball and football, NASCAR, soccer and UFC fights. In its first year, the new network will broadcast nearly 5,000 hours of competition and news.

Fox owns rights to many Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA basketball and football games.

Its soccer deals include UEFA Champions League and the men’s and women’s World Cups from 2015-22.

Starting in 2014, FS1 will start broadcasting Major League Baseball games, including part of the postseason. It will show some NASCAR

REGIS PHILBIN, right, jokes with Terry Bradshaw during a news conference about Fox’s new sports network in New York Tuesday. Philbin will host a weekday sports talk show for the network’s new channel Fox Sports 1.

Sprint Cup Series races as early as 2015, with other NASCAR events on the air from the startup.

“We believe we’ve amassed enough live events and can package and put programming around it where we can have scale,” Fox Sports co-President Randy Freer said. “We can have significance. We can be a major player in the market.”

However, unlike ESPN’s lineup, there’s no NBA, no SEC football, no ACC basketball and, the biggest attraction of all, no NFL games. On that last point, Wanger was quick to add: “Yet.” Still to be determined is whether the NFL sells some Thursday night games separately from its NFL Network package. If it does, everyone will try to buy a piece of the action.

That will be the case for any rights deals that come along; there aren’t many, with long-term pacts now the norm.

NBC and CBS already have their own cable sports networks, and Turner is also a factor.

Fox Sports co-President Eric Shanks mentioned the NBA, Big Ten and U.S. Open tennis as appealing properties whose contracts expire in the next several years.

FS1 has two main challenges, he said. One is producing enough alluring live events to draw viewers, and he thinks the network is already in good shape to do that. The other is inertia: Fans accustomed to tuning to ESPN must be persuaded to switch to a different network.

“People need to over time feel like there’s a channel number in their head that they can go to

as an alternative to one of the more powerful sports channels out there,” he said.

Will they watch nightly highlights on something other than “SportsCenter”? FS1 will try to find out with its own news show, which will look more like Fox’s NFL pregame coverage than ESPN’s cornerstone program.

“We like our position,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. “We have always had vigorous competition so there is really nothing substantially new here. Others are, however, beginning to recognize what we have long known: The power of live sports, especially in light of technological advances, is substantial and brings tremendous value in today’s entertainment landscape.”

networks that combine for almost 30,000 hours of live coverage.

FS1 will be converted from Speed TV, a motorsports network, and will be available in 90 million homes, compared with almost 99 million for ESPN and ESPN2.

And in what might seem odd for a company known for drawing a young audience, Regis Philbin will host a weekday sports talk show for the new network. The 81-year-old Philbin jokingly pretended to be hard of hearing when questions came up about this at the press conference.

Wanger noted that “Live! With Regis and Kelly” did well in younger demographics before Philbin left that show in late 2011.

“Regis has appeal from young to old,” Wanger said. “That’s why we want him.”

Fox plans to use its “double box” format for showing commercials during live action for sports events. Kicking off the coverage on Aug. 17 will be NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Michigan and a UFC event in prime time..

Fox executives had talked about potentially launching a sports network for years. As DVRs made live events even more valuable, the timing was right once the company was able to line up enough broadcast rights. And not having a cable sports partner could hurt the main Fox network in negotiations, Freer said. Fox has used

cable channel FX in the past to show some sports.

The network wasn’t ready to announce its deal with the new basketball conference formed by breakaway Big East schools, but Fox’s executives were happy to talk up the ratings draw the league will provide. Freer called it an “iconic basketball brand” that will immediately be one of the top hoops conferences in the country.

“They’re very historic, high-profile teams. The Georgetowns of the world and so on, St. John’s, Villanova etc.,” Wanger said. “It would be a coup if that deal did happen.”

Fox is airing the 2014 Super Bowl in the New York area, a valuable opportunity to promote the new network. Its 22 regional channels will also offer regular chances to direct viewers to FS1.

A report by RBC Capital Markets analyst David Banks says that while FS1 may not match ESPN right away, it can still thrive without doing so. Banks writes that a “modestly successful” venture would more than quadruple Fox’s monthly subscriber fees from what Speed received and increase ad revenue from $90 million to $460 million.

“It’s going to take us a while, and we’re aware of this fact,” Fox Sports Chairman David Hill said. “We’re not expecting to knock ESPN off in the first week or two. ...

It’s going to be a solid slog.”

BEN MCLEMORE, KANSAS McLemore set a Kansas single-game freshman record with 36 points in the Jayhawks’ 91–65 win over West Virginia on Saturday. The 6'5" guard from St. Louis hit 12-of-15 from the field (including 7-of-9 from three) and added seven rebounds and four assists. McLemore followed up with 13 points in Monday’s 37-point win over Texas Tech.

ROMERO OSBY, OKLAHOMA Three days after scoring a career-high 21 points in a six-point loss at Texas, Osby led Oklahoma to a crucial 86–69 win over Iowa State. The former transfer from Mississippi State scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead five Sooners in double figures.

Osby hit 10-of-10 from the foul line to help OU tie an NCAA record for most free throws made (34) without a miss.

DOUG MCDERMOTT, CREIGHTON Playing in perhaps his last home game of his brilliant career, McDermott scored 41 points (on 15-of-18 shooting) to lead Creighton to a 91–79 win over Wichita State. McDermott has one more year of eligibility, but he is projected to be a late first-round pick in the NBA Draft.

Creighton is the No. 1 seed in this week’s Missouri Valley Tournament.

ALEX ORIAKHI, MISSOURI Oriakhi scored 18 points, grabbed 10 boards and blocked four shots in Missouri’s 89–76 win over LSU in Columbia. A senior transfer from Connecticut, Oriakhi converted 9-of-11 from the field en route to his sixth double-double in SEC play.

DWAYNE EVANS, SAINT LOUIS Evans scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as Saint Louis beat George Washington 68–58 for its 11th straight win. Earlier in the week, Evans, a 6'5" senior forward, went for 21 and 12 in SLU’s 70–53 victory over Saint Joseph’s. The Billikens hold a one-game lead over VCU in the A-10 with two games remaining.

RODNEY MCGRUDER, KANSAS STATE McGruder only made one 3-point field goal, but it was a big one. The senior guard sank a three as the final buzzer sounded to give Kansas State a 64–61 win at Baylor. McGruder ended the game with 18 points, five rebounds and four assists for the Wildcats, who remain tied for first in the Big 12 with rival Kansas.

ELSTON TURNER, TEXAS A&M Turner poured in 28 points and added four rebounds, five assists and four steals in Texas A&M’s 74–56 win over South Carolina. The transfer from Washington has averaged 27.2 points in the last six games, including 37 points in a win over Ole Miss and 38 in a four-overtime loss to Tennessee.

OTTO PORTER JR., GEORGETOWN Porter Jr. made another statement in his case for Big East Player of the Year honors. The sophomore forward filled up the box score with 28 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks as the Hoyas overcame a slow start to beat Rutgers 64–51 for their 11th straight win.

TREY BURKE, MICHIGAN Burke is known for his ability to score and run the team — and he did both against Michigan State with 21 points and eight assists — but he made his mark in this game with two key steals down the stretch to help Michigan hold off MSU 58–57. With the score tied 56–56, Burke stripped the ball from Keith Appling with 22 seconds remaining and drove for the goahead basket. Then, he stole a Gary Harris pass in the closing seconds to seal the win for the Wolverines.

RYAN KELLY, DUKE Playing for the first time in two months, Kelly exploded for a career-high 36 points to carry Duke to a 79–76 over Miami in a battle of ACC heavyweights. Kelly, a senior forward, missed 13 games with a foot injury. He shot the ball well in his return, hitting 10-of-14 from the field, including 7-of-9 from 3-point range.

KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE, GEORGIA Georgia rebounded from a heartbreaking loss to Vanderbilt by completing a season sweep over Tennessee with a 78–68 win over the Vols in Athens. Caldwell-Pope, the SEC’s secondleading scorer, led the way with 25 points and eight rebounds. KCP has scored 10 points or more in every game this season.

Pressure will be on Zags to live up to hype in NCAAs. Kelly’s return makes Duke very difficult to guard.

Trey Burke: the best in the nation Who is your National Player of the Year?

Mitch Light: After spending a few minutes trying to find a reason not to pick Trey Burke as the National Player of the Year, I came to the following conclusion: There is no other viable option. Burke ranks second in the league in scoring (18.9 ppg) while also leading the league in assists (6.9 apg). He is a high-volume shooter, but it’s hard to knock a guy who is shooting 49.5 percent overall and 38.5 percent from 3point range. And while he’s not known for his defense, he came up with the two biggest steals of Michigan’s season in the final 30 seconds of the Wolverines’ win over Michigan State on Sunday. Burke is a complete player — and he’s the best player in the nation.

David Fox: Sunday reinforced why Trey Burke is the National Player of the Year. His game against Michigan State was incredible — 21 points, eight assists, five steals. In crunch time, he had the steal and dunk to put Michigan ahead and then the steal to clinch the win to keep the Wolverines in the hunt for a No. 1 seed. And keep in mind: He was coming off a disastrous game (for him) against Penn State earlier in the week. Burke is the nation’s top point guard this season and the leader of a team with a chance to win it all. He’s my Player of the Year.

Nathan Rush: Michigan’s Trey Burke snatched National Player of the Year honors with a pair of lastminute steals to beat Michigan State on Sunday. Burke had 21 points, eight assists, five steals, four rebounds and one blocked shot in the 58–57 victory in Ann Arbor. The sophomore has done it all for U-M and deserves to be recognized as the top player in the country.

Which major conference team has the most pressure on it in the final week of the season?

Mitch Light: This is going to be an agonizing stretch for Ole Miss, which is hoping to earn its first NCAA Tournament invite since 2002. The Rebels were in decent shape until last weekend’s stunning

Trey Burke wasn’t highly recruited — Ohio State didn’t offer the Columbus native — but he has emerged as the leading candidate for National Player of the Year honors.

loss at Mississippi State. With an RPI of 58 and only one top-50 RPI win, Ole Miss likely needs to win its final two regular-season games and pick up at least one decent win in the SEC Tournament to give itself a chance for an at-large bid.

David Fox: There are bubble teams that are under pressure, but Syracuse may have the most to lose or gain in the final week of the season. The Orange have lost six of 10 and three in a row going into the final week of the regular season. This was a team we thought would be in contention for a national title, but Jim Boeheim’s team is in a tailspin. And Boeheim, in sparring with the media, seems to be as frustrated as ever.

Syracuse can reclaim some momentum by avenging its loss to Georgetown or it can limp into the postseason.

Nathan Rush: The entire Big Blue Nation will be watching these Kentucky Wildcats and expecting John Calipari’s club to deliver in the final week of the season. The defending national champs are in jeopardy of missing the NCAA field of 68 just one season after cutting down the nets for UK’s eighth national title.

Granted, that's become somewhat of a trend lately — with Florida (2008) and North Carolina (2010) both failing to make the Tournament as reigning national champs. But that type of drop-off is unacceptable in Lexington, where the grass is blue and expectations for the 2012-13 season were higher than Nerlens Noel’s high-top fade haircut. The Cats have a trip to Georgia and a home game against Florida to play before the SEC Tourney tips off. And no doubt about it, the pressure is on UK. David Fox 52-28

SATURDAY, MARCH 9 FLORIDA AT KENTUCKY Kentucky’s hopes of catching Florida for the top spot in the SEC are all but over, but this is still a huge game for the Wildcats. With only one top-50 RPI win — at home against Missouri — Kentucky is in desperate need of another quality win. The Gators have struggled of late on the road, with losses in three of their last four away from home.

This is a winnable game for the Wildcats.

SYRACUSE AT GEORGETOWN Georgetown, which hasn’t lost since Jan. 19, is on the verge of winning its first outright Big East title since 2008. Heading into the final week of the season, the Hoyas have a one-game lead over Louisville and Marquette. Syracuse is mired in a puzzling funk. The Orange were 18–1 after beating Cincinnati on Jan. 21. Now, Jim Boeheim’s club is 22–7 after Saturday’s home loss to Louisville. It’s tough to imagine this team winning at Georgetown.

KANSAS STATE AT OKLAHOMA STATE Surprising Kansas State can secure no worse than a tie for the Big 12 title with a win in Stillwater.

That, however, won’t be easy. Oklahoma State has lost only twice at Gallagher-Iba Arena, to Gonzaga in December and to Kansas, in overtime, late last month. The Cowboys are a lock to make the NCAA Tournament, but they could use a few more quality wins to improve their seed.

MISSOURI AT TENNESSEE This is a must win for a Tennessee team that put itself in a precarious position with a loss at Georgia on Saturday. The Volunteers, who had won six straight before the loss in Athens, only have two top-50 RPI wins — none away from home. Missouri is 2–6 on the road in the SEC, but the last four losses have been in overtime at Kentucky, by two at Arkansas, by two at Texas A&M and by three at LSU. The Tigers are capable of winning in Knoxville.

NOTRE DAME AT LOUISVILLE It’s a rematch of the longest regular-season game in Big East history — Notre Dame’s four-overtime, 104–101 victory over Louisville on Feb. 9. The Cardinals haven’t lost since, running their winning streak to six straight with a 67–51 win over Cincinnati on Monday night. Notre Dame is a solid 4–4 on the road in the league this season, highlighted by a 51–42 victory at Pittsburgh last Monday night.

The Fighting Irish have an opportunity to enhance their NCAA Tournament seed, but Louisville will be tough to tame at the Yum! Center.

DUKE AT NORTH CAROLINA Both teams have been rejuvenated of late — Duke by the return of forward Ryan Kelly and North Carolina by the move to a smaller lineup. Kelly scored 36 points against Miami in his first game back from injury. North Carolina has only lost once since Roy Williams replaced forward Desmond Hubert with guard P.J. Hairston in the starting lineup. The Tar Heels have played their way off the NCAA Tournament bubble and into “lock” status.

SUNDAY, MARCH 10 INDIANA AT MICHIGAN Indiana has already wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, but plenty is at stake. Indiana is eyeing the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, while Michigan is still in play for one of the four top seeds. Big Ten Player of the Year honors could be at stake, as well. Indiana’s Victor Oladipo and Michigan’s Trey Burke have one more opportunity to state their cases.

ILLINOIS AT OHIO STATE Ohio State has a tough final week, with a trip to Indiana on Tuesday followed by Illinois’ visit to Columbus on Sunday. The Buckeyes will be looking for revenge after losing at Illinois by 19 points in early January. The Illini have played extremely well since losing six of seven during one stretch early in the league season. This team could be a dark horse to win the Big Ten Tournament.

BULLETIN BOARD

Issue and candidate certified During their recent meeting, members of the Shelby County Board of Elections certified one issue and one candidate for the May 7 special election.

The Fairlawn School District has placed a renewal of a 2.98-mill operating levy on the ballot. The issue, which would generate $150,000 per year for five years, was defeated by 26 votes in the November election.

A petition filed by Sidney Municipal Court Judge Duane Goettemoeller was the only partisan petition filed, so no primary will be held this year. The May election will be a special election, board officials report.

The board also certified the results of the Feb. 5 special election, with saw voters approved Jackson Center School District and Russia Fire Department levies.

In other business, the board approved the purchase of two complete computer units at a cost of $4,305 from ES&S of Denver, Colo. Officials report the computers had to be purchased from the Colorado company because it has proprietary election software.

Students recognized PIQUA — Upper Valley Career Center Student Services Director Matt Meyer has released the names of the center’s high school Students of the Month for February.

According to Meyer, students from each program are named for the honor to recognize extra effort and to encourage development of leadership, scholarship, citizenship and community service abilities throughout the year.

Local couple see Vietnam Charles Finley stationed there during war

BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com Charles and Joanne Finley, of Sidney, had talked for many years about vacationing in Vietnam.

This year, they did.

It was a first visit for Joanne. For Charles, it was a return to the country he had last seen as a warrior. Charles had been in the U.S. Army, stationed in Vietnam in 1967-68 at Dong Ba Thin, an airfield on Cam Ranh Bay. A member of the 243rd, ASH, 1st Aviation Brigade, Charles served as a mechanic and did not see combat.

The Finleys chose a tour operated by Gate 1 Travel that took them to Cambodia for three days and to Ho Chi Minh City, Hoi An, Da Nang, Hue, Hanoi, Hai Phong and Halong Bay in Vietnam. They were all new places for both Charles and Joanne. During his Army days in Vietnam, Charles had not been to any of those places. The tour did not include Photo provided Cam Ranh Bay, so Charles did not get to share his former stomping grounds with CHARLES AND Joanne Finley, of Sidney, visit China Beach, Vietnam, in January.

Poverty in Cambodia

Where they did see a lot of poverty was in Cambodia.

“It’s really poor,” Joanne said.

“They’re way behind Vietnam. Cambodia now is like what Vietnam was then,” Charles said. “But even in Cambodia, everybody had a TV.” They saw satellite dishes on every house in Vietnam, including the homes of poorer people out in the country.

The tour stopped in Cambodia first, so Joanne thought that Vietnam would look like Cambodia.

“But flying into Saigon was like night and day,” she said. “There were designer

“There’s a street of hardware stores, a street of clothing stores,” Charles said. Inside, every store had a big-screen TV and store owners usually made their homes on the second floor of their buildings. The locals travel almost exclusively by scooters and motorbikes, which they park on the sidewalks outside the stores. Because

“They don’t have much public transportation,” Charles said. “A few buses.

Cabs are cheap. And there are bicyclorides,” a kind of rickshaw powered by bicycle pedals.

‘Brides and grooms’ “You see a lot of brides and grooms everywhere,” Joanne said. It is a Vietnamese custom for the betrotheds to dress in their wedding clothes and have their photos taken together in many public places during the weeks before the wedding.

The country was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year, so New Year’s trees were everywhere. Those are large twigs or branches decorated with yellow flowers.

The new year is the year of the snake, so the Finleys saw lots of snake-themed items for sale, including a wedding cake with an icing snake on top. Among the street vendors were two who sold roasted dog meat.

“But they said that was a New Year’s thing and that (the practice of eating dog) was dying out,” Charles said.

Cambodians, too, were decorating for New Year’s celebrations, but the Finleys were lucky enough to be there at an important time in Cambodian history. The recently deceased Cambodian king was lying in state in Phnom Penh.

Washington Twp. OKs conservation easement LOCKINGTON — The Washington Township Trustees passed a resolution for a conservation easement at their regular meeting recently.

Several months ago, Barrett Paving had proposed to the trustees purchasing a tract of land for the township.

After some research, the

trustees determined the township could not purchase the land because of complicated legal issues. Barrett instead proposed a conservation easement to protect the township’s aquifer, which was approved.

Trustees discussed the problem of junk cars, particularly on Taylor Road and Lehman Road.

Board Chairman Bill Huffman reported two culverts in need of extension on Kuther and Patterson-Halpin roads.

Two roads in Arrowhead Subdivision were reported to be in severe disrepair: Chief Tarkee and Chickasaw. Stangel Road also is in serious need of repair. The county engineer will provide specifica-

tions for cost estimates.

Beachwood Cemetery Sexton Randy Schwable reported two burials and four foundation orders. Trustees accepted the bids from Apple Farm service and Koenig Equipment for a new lawnmower.

The Koenig bid of $6,200 was awarded, with $800 also offered for the trade-in.

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

Jacob Wilson Parrott, First Medal of Honor Winner Paying with Confederate money, 18-year-old Ohio soldier Jacob Wilson Parrott calmly bought a train ticket in Marietta, Georgia, one April morning in 1862. The Civil War, the great American war between the North and the South, the Rebels and the Union, was a year old.

Looking around, Parrott saw and recognized 19 Northern comrades.

Led by James J. Andrews, a full-time spy for the Union, these Union soldiers would become known as Andrews Raiders. They had volunteered for a risky raid behind enemy lines. The mission?

Capture a Rebel train and destroy bridges and train track between Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Parrott and his fellow Andrews Raiders hijacked the train in Big Shanty, Tennessee, when the crew got off for breakfast. The train was pulled by the Western & Atlantic Railroad engine known as The General. The Yanks quickly unhitched cars from the train, leaving them to block the tracks, and took off in The General. The Rebel crew came running when the train’s alarm bell began to clang, and the chase was on.

A few miles later, the Raiders stopped to cut telegraph wires and load crossties onto the train. These would be used to burn bridges after they were crossed. Further on, at Kingston, the Raiders had to wait 65 minutes on a sidetrack while three freight trains passed them.

Behind them, the Rebels had been stalled by the same freight trains, but they managed to find a mail train and go around the detour. After 90 miles, The General’s fuel was gone, and the Union soldiers were stopped and captured.

Seven Raiders including Andrews were hanged. Others were put in prison. Parrott was captured, whipped and imprisoned, but he managed to escape. He served in the Union Army for the rest of the war.

Parrott and the remaining Andrews’ Raiders were called to Washington, D.C., on March 25, 1863, by Secretary of War William Stanton. After praising the men for their bravery, he presented them with a new medal, the Congressional Medal of Honor. Parrott was the first of the six to receive it, thus becoming the nation’s very first recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

He returned to Kenton, Ohio, became a cabinetmaker and married Sarah Lawrence. Their son, John Marion, married Edith Gertrude Brown, daughter of Raider Wilson W. Brown.

Parrott died in Kenton on December 22, 1908.

Words to Know: risky crosstie imprisoned sidetrack telegraph mission recipient For Discussion: 1. Andrews Raiders did not complete their assignment as planned. What was wrong with the plan? Could the outcome have been different? How? 2. Synonyms are words that have similar meanings. What synonyms do you notice in this story?

3. Parrott’s Congressional Medal of Honor is now on display in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. Why is it appropriate for his medal to be displayed there?

4. Where could you go to research the names and heroics of other Congressional Medal of Honor winners?

Newspaper Activity: Imagine this story had appeared as a news story in a newspaper before 1909. Write as many different newspaper headlines for it as you can.

“Ohio: The Inside Story” is produced through a grant from The Ohio Newspapers Foundation, a nonprofit charitable and educational organization affiliated with The Ohio Newspaper Association. This is one of a series of 24 Ohio profiles.
