WASHINGTON (AP) — The American job market isn’t just growing. It’s accelerating. Employers added 236,000 jobs in February and drove down the unemployment rate to 7.7 percent, its lowest level in more than four years. The gains signal that companies are confident enough in the economy to intensify hiring even in the face of tax increases and government spending cuts. Last month capped a fourth-month hiring spree in which employers have added an average of 205,000 jobs a month. The hiring has been fueled by steady improvement in housing, auto sales, manufacturing and corporate

profits, along with record-low borrowing rates. Before the spree, employers added an average of 154,000 jobs from July through October and only 108,000 from April through June. “The recovery is gathering momentum,” Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients. The gains could boost consumer spending, adding momentum to the U.S. recovery and helping troubled economies in Europe and Asia. The U.S. economy is forecast to grow a modest 2 percent this year. Growth will likely be held back by uncertainty about the federal budget, higher Social Security taxes and See UNEMPLOYMENT/Page 7A

Ohio rate increases slightly BY MITCH STACY Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s unemployment rate rose slightly to 7 percent in January, an increase partly attributed to more people looking for work as the economic recovery continues, according to numbers released Friday. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for January was up from 6.7 percent in December and 6.8 percent in November, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services reported. The rate is skewed by the fact that 11,000 more people were looking for work in January than in December, jobs agency spokesman Benjamin Johnson said. An increase in job searchers is typical during an economic recovery, he said. “When a recession ends, we expect at some point to see the labor force start to grow again as those people regain confidence and start looking for a job again,” Johnson said. “It remains to be seen whether this is specific to January, or the whether this is a trend and the labor force will grow over the coming months.” The number of nonfarm wage and salary workers employed in the state last month actually increased by 3,800 to 5,178,800.

The draft ordinance would make the first violation a fourthdegree misdemeanor (with a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and $250 fine) and the second violation would be a third-degree misdemeanor (60 days in jail and $500 fine). Also on the agenda is an ordinance revising private swimming pool regulations and another that would permit right turns on red for westbound traffic at the intersection of Michigan Street and Vandemark Road.
Other agenda items include: • An ordinance making supplemental appropriations for 2013. • A proclamation designating March as Red Cross Month. • A resolution authorizing the city manager to advertise for bids for the construction of a runway shift at the Sidney Airport. • An ordinance placing “no through trucks” signs on the traffic control map.

Hardin-Houston begins strategic plan process HOUSTON — The Hardin-Houston FiveYear Strategic Plan Kick-Off meeting with the community on Feb. 28 was successful, organizers said. The crowd of approximately 40 attendees sat through a 12-minute informative PowerPoint presentation from SuLarry perintendent Claypool and Board of Education President Bill Clark. The PowerPoint explained the five-step process for developing the strategic plan. The theme of the kick-off meeting was “what do we want Hardin-Houston Local Schools to look like in five years?” The five committee chairpeople and their
members — covering curriculum, finance, facilities, technology and community relations — spent the remaining 48 minutes of the evening meeting in conversational groups. The kick-off meeting was the beginning a four-month process comprising one-hour monthly meetings where each committee will discuss current issues and goals related to those the district wants to have in place by 2018. The five committees will meet for the second time on March 21 at 7 p.m. in the commons area at the school. Anyone interested in participating in the process is welcome and invited to attend.
THEATRE addition of comedy as well. The group is also discussing public tour nights and open houses. Ultimately, the goal of the group is to provide more opportunity for entertainment to the Shelby County region, enhance downtown nightlife, and expose more people to the potential uses and beauty of the Historic Sidney Theatre. “I’m hoping we can bring some life and excitement to the Historic Sidney Theatre and downtown,” Nuss said. “I’m beyond excited to be a part of this dynamic committee to bring more entertainment to the Historic Sidney Theatre. At this point, because of the theatre’s raw state, it only makes sense to have music acts perform due to their minimal production needs. The bands and artists we are looking at are rising stars and on the horizon of becoming the next big thing,” Wildermuth said. “In a way, their status reflects the

Medicaid price tag a worry for lawmakers BY JOHN SEEWER Associated Press

THIS PHOTO shows demolition crews working to tear down a portion of the Ridges Building in Athens. Preservationists lost a battle as the historic, and according to legend haunted, building on the campus of Ohio University began to fall to demolition crews this week. Community members had fought to save the 88-year-old Ridges Building 26 on the grounds of the university. It was built as a tuberculosis ward to a historically significant state mental hospital that operated on the property for more than a century beginning in 1868.
Ohio U demolishes historic building
OHIO From Page 1 “A growing labor force is a positive development, even though it often increases the unemployment rate temporarily,” Johnson said. January marked the first time Ohio’s monthly unemployment rate failed to decline or at least remain steady since July 2011, according to state data. The rate has fallen steadily since peaking at 10.6 percent during 2009 and 2010. It averaged 7.2 percent last year. The 7 percent rate in January was the highest since September. The Ohio unemployment rate continues to remain well below the national rate. The U.S. unemployment rate for February was 7.7 percent, down from 7.9 percent in January. The number of workers unemployed in Ohio in January was 399,000, up from 385,000 in December, according to the jobs agency. Goods-producing industries in the state added 3,900 jobs in January. Gains were also seen in construction, manufacturing, and mining and logging. Job losses were seen in trade, transportation, and utilities, financial activities, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality. Government employment declined by 900. ___ Online: O D J F S : http://jfs.ohio.gov/ocom m/index.stm

The university said demolition is expected to continue through March. The university decided to tear down the vacant structure because it had become an “attractive nuisance.” The building, deemed unsafe due to its deteriorating condition, attracted many trespassers and vandals — partly due to its local reputation for being haunted. Some in the Athens community had fought to save the building, which was given to the university by the state in the 1980s along with other buildings from the former mental health center that were collectively renamed The Ridges. Ron Luce, executive
director of the Athens County Historical Society Museum, had and pleaded with the university to come up with alternatives to demolition. He said he hopes city council will communicate with OU about preserving the other historic buildings that make up The Ridges. “I’m sorry OU couldn’t see the value of keeping this historic building,” Luce told the newspaper. “This is our community and we need to have a single vision for how we want it to be. We’re not on the same page.” ___ Information from: The Athens Messenger, http://www.athensmessenger.com/
Man charged with murdering 13-year-old girl in Dayton DAYTON (AP) — An Ohio man paroled after serving 18 years for the murder of his roommate has been charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend’s 13-yearold daughter. The Montgomery County prosecutor said a grand jury on Friday also indicted 39-year-old Dameon Wesley on
charges of attempted aggravated murder, kidaggravated napping, robbery, aggravated burglary and menacing by stalking. He also was indicted on a weapons charge. Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. says Wesley went to his ex-girlfriend’s home Feb. 24 and tried to kidnap her, fatally shooting her 13-year-old daughter
and wounding the daughter’s 13-year-old cousin. The prosecutor says he will seek the death penalty if Wesley is convicted. Wesley was denied parole several times before his release last September. Court records do not show an attorney for Wesley.

ATHENS (AP) — Preservationists lost a battle as a historic, and according to legend haunted, building on the campus of Ohio University began to fall to demolition crews this week. Community members had fought to save the 88-year-old Ridges Building 26 on the grounds of the university in southeast Ohio. It was built as a tuberculosis ward to a historically significant state mental hospital that operated on the property for more than a century beginning in 1868. The Athens Messenger reported Friday that portions of the building have already been reduced to piles of rubble.
TOLEDO (AP) — The price tag of the health care program that covers Ohio’s poor and disabled has more than doubled during the last dozen years to just around $19 billion. That’s more than the state and federal government spends on the Ohio’s public schools and universities combined. The staggering growth of Medicaid is a big reason why state lawmakers are uneasy about going along with the governor’s proposal to add thousands of more low-income state residents to the program as allowed by the nation’s new health care law. One state lawmaker compares the Medicaid program to the Pac Man video game, eating its way through the state budget at the expense of everything else. “It has crowded out funding for a lot of other things we’d like to do as a state,” said state Rep. Robert Sprague, a Republican from Findlay who sits on the Ohio House’s finance committee. Committee members for the past few weeks have been hearing from state health officials who are trying to convince them to expand Medicaid. Gov. John Kasich’s administration is appealing to both their financial and
emotional sides. The administration says expanding Medicaid would allow the state to get $13 billion from the federal government during the next seven years to cover those newly eligible for Medicaid. Turning down the expansion would send that money to other states, Kasich has said. But there are several reasons why expanding Medicaid will be a tough sell among the governor’s fellow Republicans. Many conservatives are simply philosophically against the idea of expanding government programs and opposed to the federal health care law that calls for mandated health coverage. Even Kasich has criticized the law while calling for expanding Medicaid — a key component of the Affordable Care Act pushed by President Barack Obama — and said he understands why lawmakers are hesitant. “Anything that involves something this massive is something that people want to think about,” the governor said last week. “And there’s reasons why people are concerned about it.” “Trusting the federal government is not exactly something that most people would do,” Kasich said. “But I’m confident that we can handle the twists and the turns. And we don’t want to turn this money down.”
NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, March 9, the 68th day of 2013. There are 297 days left in the year. A reminder: Daylight-saving time begins Sunday at 2 a.m. Clocks go forward one hour. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 9, 1963, two Los Angeles police officers, Ian Campbell and Karl Hettinger, were disarmed and abducted by ex-convicts Gregory Powell and Jimmy Lee Smith during a traffic stop in Hollywood; the officers were taken to an onion field near Bakersfield, Calif., where Campbell was shot to death while Hettinger managed to escape. (Powell and Smith were sent to prison; the case was detailed in the book “The Onion Field” by Joseph Wambaugh.) On this date: • In 1661, Cardinal Jules Mazarin, the chief minister of France, died, leaving King Louis XIV in full control. • In 1796, the future emperor of the French, Napoleon Bonaparte, married Josephine de Beauharnais (boh-ahrNAY’). (The couple later divorced.) • In 1862, during the Civil War, the ironclads USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimac) clashed for five hours to a draw at Hampton Roads, Va. • In 1916, Mexican raiders led by Pancho Villa attacked Columbus, N.M., killing 18 Americans. • In 1933, Congress, called into special session by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, began its “hundred days” of enacting New Deal legislation. • In 1945, during World War II, U.S. B-29 bombers launched incendiary bomb attacks against Japan, resulting in an estimated 100,000 deaths. • In 1954, CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow critically reviewed Wisconsin Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy’s anti-communism campaign on “See It Now.” • In 1962, the science fantasy novel “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle was first published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. • In 1977, about a dozen armed Hanafi Muslims invaded three buildings in Washington, D.C., killing one person and taking more than 130 hostages. (The siege ended two days later.)
OUT OF THE BLUE Mustache record broken GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Magnum P.I., Ron Burgundy and Ron Swanson would be impressed. Organizers of an annual laugh festival in Michigan say they’ve broken the world record for the most people wearing fake mustaches. Gilda’s LaughFest is reporting that 1,544 people donned various shapes and sizes of dark ’staches on Thursday, the Grand Rapids festival’s opening day. The record is awaiting Guinness World Record certification. If it sticks, the record would be the third set at the festival in as many years. Last year the festival broke the record for the most people wearing fake animal noses. The year before, it was people tossing rubber chickens. LaughFest officials say the previous fake mustache record of 648 participants was set in September at a St. Louis Rams event.

Survey: Many conflicted on government spending cuts BY TOM RAUM Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Barack Obama and lawmakers spar over huge federal deficits, they’re confronted by a classic contradiction: Most Americans want government austerity, a survey shows, but they also want increased spending on a host of popular programs: education, crime fighting, health care, Social Security, the environment and more. Less for defense, space and foreign aid. The newly released General Social Survey asked people whether they believe spending in specific categories is “too much,” ”too little” or “about right.” It covers the public’s shifting priorities from 1973, when Richard Nixon was president, through 2012 with Obama in the White House. “Despite a dislike of taxes, more people have always favored increases in spending than cuts,” wrote the survey’s director, Tom W. Smith, of the independent research organization NORC at the
University of Chicago. While people’s priorities shift over the years, they’ve not changed on one category. Foreign aid has been stuck firmly in last place since the survey began. Last year, 65 percent of those surveyed thought there was “too much,” 25 percent checked “about right” and a slim 11 percent said “too little.” The numbers are not much changed from 1973 — when 73 percent said too much on foreign aid, 22 percent just right and 5 percent too little. Various polls have consistently shown the public believes foreign aid is a far bigger slice of the spending pie than it actually is. Foreign aid amounts to loose change, hovering for years at 1 percent or less of the federal budget, compared with defense spending and “entitlement” programs like Social Security and Medicare. Those are among the biggest deficit drivers and a focal point in Washington’s recent budget debates. The survey shows the public is largely opposed to cuts in entitlement programs but tilts toward
cuts in the defense budget. To reach all these conclusions, Smith devised an index that boils down his findings to a single number for each category. If everyone favored more spending for a given program area, the maximum score would be +100; and if everyone wanted less spending, the score would be a negative number, -100. On this scale, top-ranked “improving education” in 2012 scored +68.4 while bottom-rated foreign aid scored a -60.4. Support for defense spending has swung back and forth between negative and positive over four decades. It posted a -28.4 in 1973 near the end of the politically divisive Vietnam War, turned positive in 1978 and peaked at +48.9 in 1980. It returned to negative territory from 1983 to 2000. But after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks and the start of the war in Afghanistan, support for more defense spending again went positive — through 2004. But it turned negative again as U.S. military involvement in Iraq increased and has been negative ever since.
Bin Laden’s son-in-law pleads not guilty in NY WASHINGTON (AP) — Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, the charismatic al-Qaida spokesman, fundraiser and son-in-law to Osama bin Laden, is likely to have a vast trove of knowledge about the terror network’s central command but not much useful information about current threats or plots, intelligence officials and other experts say. Abu Ghaith pleaded not guilty Friday to conspiring to kill Americans in propaganda videos that warned of further assaults against the United States as devastating as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people. Believed to be more of a strategic player in bin Laden’s inner circle than an operational plotter, Abu Ghaith would be the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure to stand trial on U.S. soil since 9/11. Intelligence officials say he may be able to shed new light on alQaida’s inner workings — concerning al-Qaida’s murky dealings in Iran over the past decade, for example — but probably will have few details about specific or imminent ongoing threats. He gave U.S. officials a 22page statement after his Feb. 28 arrest in Jordan, according to prosecutors. They would not describe the statement. Bearded and balding, Abu Ghaith said little during the 15-minute hearing in U.S. District Court in New York — in lower Manhattan just blocks from Ground Zero — and displayed none of the finger-wagging or strident orations that marked his propaganda in the days and months after 9/11.

Fiery funeral for Chavez CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Hugo Chavez was lauded as a modern-day reincarnation of Latin American liberator Simon Bolivar at a fiery, foot-stomping state funeral Friday, hours before his handpicked successor was sworn in as acting president over the fierce objections of the opposition. Nicolas Maduro took the oath of office in the National Assembly before ruling party legislators, dignitaries and a boisterous crowd of sympathizers that chanted “Chavez lives! Maduro carries on!” Holding up a tiny blue-bound booklet of Venezuela’s 1999 constitution in his right hand, Maduro pledged his “most absolute loyalty” to Chavez. He broke into tears as he spoke of his mentor during a strident acceptance speech that included numerous attacks on the United States, capitalist elites and the international media. Maduro also claimed the allegiance of Venezuela’s army, calling it “the armed forces of Chavez” as he pumped his fist in the air, a gesture that was reciprocated by the defense minister watching from the gallery. Critics have voiced increasing concern about the overt support the military has shown to the ruling
party since Chavez’s death despite a ban on the army’s participation in politics. The opposition largely boycotted the swearing-in, calling it unconstitutional. Henrique Capriles, Maduro’s likely opponent in presidential election that must be called within 30 days, spoke condescendingly of the former bus driver and union leader, referring to him as “boy” and accusing him of “shamelessly” lying to the country. At Chavez’s state funeral earlier in the day, Maduro stood before an assemblage of presidents, princes and left-wing glitterati, speaking in a booming voice over the flag-draped casket in a ceremony that at times smacked of a political rally. “Here we are, Comandante, your men, on their feet,” Maduro shouted, government officials rising behind him. “All your men and women … loyal until beyond death.” The funeral began with Venezuela’s national youth orchestra singing the national anthem, led by famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel. A government-allied congressman later belted out cowboy songs from Chavez’s native Barinas state.
UNEMPLOYMENT across-the-board government spending cuts that kicked in March 1. And unemployment remains high nearly four years after the end of the Great Recession. Roughly 12 million people remain out of work. The unemployment rate declined in February from 7.9 percent in January mostly because more people found work. Another factor was that 130,000 people without jobs stopped looking for work last month. The government doesn’t count them as unemployed. The last time unemployment was lower was December 2008, when it was 7.3 percent. The unemployment rate is calculated from a survey of
households. The number of jobs gained is derived from a separate survey of employers. Hiring would be rising even faster if governments weren’t shrinking their workforces, as they have been for nearly four years. Governments cut 10,000 jobs in February. Some $44 billion in spending cuts kicked in last week after Congress failed to reach a budget deal. The cuts are expected to shave about a halfpoint from economic growth this year and lower total hiring by about 30,000 jobs a month from April through September, according to Moody’s Analytics. And most workers have had to absorb higher Social Security taxes this year. Someone earning $50,000 has
From Page 1 about $1,000 less to spend in 2013. A household with two high-paid workers has up to $4,500 less. Stock prices rose after the report was released and strengthened later in the day. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 67 points to 14,397, its fourth straight record close. Robust auto sales and a steady housing recovery are spurring more hiring, which will trigger more consumer spending and could lead to stronger economic growth. The construction industry added 48,000 jobs in February; it’s added 151,000 since September. Manufacturing gained 14,000 jobs last month and 39,000 since November. Among industry categories,
the biggest job growth in February was in professional and business services, which added 73,000. This category includes higher-paying jobs in accounting, engineering and information technology as well as temporary positions that typically pay less. Retailers added 24,000 jobs. Education and health services gained 24,000. And the information industry, which includes publishing, telecommunications and film, added 20,000, mostly in the movie industry. The economy is generating more higher-paying jobs. That trend is raising average pay, which will help offset the hit that Americans took from higher Social Security taxes and gas prices.

Ronald Reagan was gas was president, around 84 cents a gallon, and the price of a stamp was 25 cents.

Workshop to deal with public speaking How many people relish the opportunity to speak in public or in front of a small group? According to most research, not many. For those interested in fine-tuning their public-speaking technique and style, the SidneyShelby County Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Adult Division of the Upper Valley Career Center, will present the workshop, “Three C Communication: Speak with Confidence, Competence and Commitment.” In this two-day workshop, participants will develop skills and techniques to increase their command of any speaking situation, regardless of the size of the audience. Attendees will learn how to use their natural energy to overcome common public speaking fears like making embarrassing mistakes, damaging their careers or reputation, “freezing up,” or failing to hold the attention of the audience.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME OR FARM BY USING A LIFE ESTATE DEED
interests as well. TEENS: If your best friend smokes, will you eventually become a smoker? If your parents or brothers and sisters smoke, will you join in and participate in this nasty habit? Everyone knows how evil smoking is, and there are times you may wonder why anyone smokes at all. It’s the company you keep. A study of 12- to 18year-olds conducted by the Los Angeles-based National Center for Health Statistics found that a teen was twice as likely to smoke if an older brother or sister did. They were three times more likely to smoke if their parents did, too. And half of the teens with two best friends who smoked were smokers themselves. If none of their best friends smoked, they almost never smoked. Twenty percent of teenagers smoke and more than half think they’ll probably give it up within a year. The reality: Three out of four of them have already tried to quit at least once — and failed.
Worried about the prospect of nursing home costs in the future? Looking for ways to protect your home for yourself, your spouse and your children? A life estate deed may be one of the least expensive ways to begin to protect the value of your home.
The Advantages of a Life Estate Deed: 1) You and your spouse preserve your right to live in your home during your lifetime. As long as you pay your real estate taxes and any mortgage, it is unlikely that your creditors or your children’s creditors will cause any action that would force you to leave the home. In other words, you may live there as long as YOU choose. 2) The cost is much less than the cost of almost any Trust or LLC and provides MORE protection from nursing home costs and the ensuing Ohio Estate Recovery. In fact, most Trusts make it harder to qualify for Medicaid benefits and are easier to attack on the Estate Recovery side. 3) The life estate deed causes your house to avoid probate and the costs and time associated with probate. A typical $100,000 house may cost between $2,000 and $6,000 to pass through probate in most jurisdictions in Ohio. The cost of transferring a life estate deed may be less than $200. 4) The life estate deed gets a step up in basis. This means that the children could sell the house the day after death and pay no capital gains on the sale. Compare this with an outright transfer of the property or into an irrevocable Trust: the kids may pay a large portion of the sale to the Internal Revenue Service in the form of capital gains. 5) After five years under current Medicaid law, the house is no longer an asset that can be taken by the nursing home or the State of Ohio. You have successfully saved the house! 6) Proper language must be placed in the text of the deed to avoid valuation of the life estate when qualifying for Medicaid or in the context of Ohio Estate Recovery. It is important to work with an Elder Law Attorney who is proficient in the Medicaid rules. 7) You still receive the county’s Homestead Exemption as the holder of the life estate. You lose the exemption with an LLC or an irrevocable Trust. Your county taxes will be unchanged. 8) You retain the entire possessory interest in the property. You are entitled to any and all income from the property, pay all taxes, insurance and the maintenance for the property. A life estate deed in many instances is a very powerful planning tool for farmers and their land, and homeowners in general.
The Disadvantages of a Life Estate Deed: 1) In very large estates, the entire value of the property will be pulled back into the estate for the purposes of calculating Federal Estate Tax. There is no longer an Ohio Estate Tax and the Federal Estate Tax exemption remains slightly above $5,000,000! With a spouse, up to $10,000,000 worth of farmland can be sheltered. 2) It is important to have the right language on the deed to protect the entire value of the farm or home from health care costs and Estate Recovery. In summary, a life estate deed is a very effective, inexpensive way to preserve your right to stay in the property as long as you wish and to protect the value of your real property for future generations. You didn’t work your entire life to give it all back for health care costs.

SPRING Regular car maintenance is like money in your pocket
Regular car maintenance done on a systematic basis will prolong the life of your car. It is a proven fact. Even better, it represents dollars when the time comes to resell your vehicle. A well-maintained vehicle is unquestionably more valuable, however if you don’t keep track of regular maintenance, you’ll find it difficult to capitalize on your car’s good state of repair. That is why it is so important to
record all the work carried out on your vehicle. When purchasing a second hand car, people look for a reliable product that will last long enough for them to have a return on their investment. If you don’t have a maintenance notebook for the vehicle you wish to sell, you’ll find it difficult to ask for more than its market value. Conversely, with supporting evidence the buyer will be ready to spend a bit
more, knowing that the vehicle has been properly cared for. A maintenance notebook will help you remember some elements that may otherwise slip your mind during routine maintenance checks. By meticulously filling in the notebook, you’ll be sure that everything is done that needs to be done. Your notes should include the odometer reading at the time of each routine checkup

Air filters: for your vehicle’s health as well as your own.
One important element is often forgotten during do-ityourself car maintenance: air filters. Not to be neglected, changing them regularly improves the health of your vehicle as well as your own. FOR YOUR VEHICLE Your car engine needs fresh, clean air. That is why its engine is equipped with a filter specifically designed to prevent different particles from entering the combustion chamber. To be able to function properly, an engine needs the right mix of air and fuel. Dirty air will alter the efficiency of the engine and could cause damage. In addition, dirty air filters increase gas consumption. Check your owner’s manual to find out when this filter should be changed. If you usually drive in heavy traffic or on dusty roads, it would be to your advantage to have it checked very often. FOR YOUR HEALTH The importance of having a clean car cabin air filter cannot be stressed enough. The air coming into the area where you sit can be up to six times more polluted than outside air. The filter that needs to be checked is usually located behind the glove compartment and only takes a few minutes of your time to replace. Once again, you should
refer to the owner’s manual to learn how to proceed. Experts recommend that this filter be replaced at least once a year to prevent it from becoming clogged. As well as improving air quality inside your car, your air conditioning and ventilation systems will operate much more efficiently.
or major repair job. Also, it would be to your advantage to include a short description of the work done. This will facilitate finding and solving any future problems that may arise. For example, if the engine isn’t turning over properly and your notebook indicates that the spark plugs haven’t been changed yet, you or your mechanic will know where to look first for the cause.

Who will join Shazier at LB? COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer and his staff are looking for a few good linebackers. With three of the mainstays — Etienne Sabino, Zach Boren and Storm Klein — at the position from last year’s team gone, one of the top priorities during the Buckeyes’ spring workouts has been finding playmakers at the open spots. Co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell surveyed the candidates but refrained from making any judgments after the Buckeyes’ first two practices. “There’s a lot of good-looking players,” he said of the early returns. He added, “We hold our opinions until we get in pads and play some football.” Asked after the opening practice on Tuesday what position concerned him the most, Meyer lumped together most of the defense. “The front seven,” he said. “Because there’s a bunch of new guys in there.” Ryan Shazier, the one proven commodity at linebacker, is out for at least a couple more weeks while he recovers from surgery for a sports hernia. An All-Big Ten selection last season, he started all 12 games and led the conference in tackles for a loss (17). “I’m taking my game to the next level,” the junior said. “Coach Fickell and I have been talking about plays and what offenses can do. I need to work on staying behind the ball and watching film will help me do that more out on the field.” Behind Shazier, however, are some intriguing possibilities but also some question marks. Curtis Grant is one of the

OHIO STATE coach Urban Meyer talks to the team during the first day of the NCAA college football team's spring practice at Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Tuesday in Columbus. major enigmas on the team. An acclaimed prep star out of Richmond, Va., he saw action as a freshman and then started at the outset of last year’s sterling 12-0 season. But then he lost the job and sank down the depth chart. “I got too complacent,” said Grant, who started three games last year at middle linebacker. “That’s the only thing I can say. I couldn’t handle the glory, I guess, of being a starter. I should have kept working harder.” Now he’s an upperclassman and is being counted on even more to play up to his lofty blue-chip status in high school. “All my life I’ve been a leader. Everybody always looked up to me, and it kind of got flipped coming to college,” he said. “I was looking up to someone else and I usually didn’t look up to anyone. I always wanted to get better on
my own and help the other guys. But after watching other guys, when it’s your time, you feel it and you feel different. I feel like my old high school self.” Meyer was asked if there was still a lot of focus on Grant. “A lot,” he said. “Do we still have hope (for him)? Absolutely. Yes.” Camren Williams, Joshua Perry, David Perkins, Luke Roberts and Conner Crowell, along with freshmen recruits Trey Johnson and Mike Mitchell, are also vying for playing time between now and the opener on Aug. 31 against Buffalo. Williams and Perry each played in 10 games last year as freshmen and lettered. “Everyone is going to have an opportunity to show what they can do,” said Williams, out of West Roxbury, Mass. “There’s a lot of competition at
the (middle linebacker) position, and that’s a position I’m interested in. I’ve been working hard to learn the playbook and improve at the position because as the mike you need to know where everyone is and what’s going on at all times.” Ohio State has had two practices so far, and now takes off for spring break. The workouts continue on March 19. Fickell hasn’t spent much time considering who’s not around at linebacker. Instead, he prefers to look at who is back. “There are a lot of guys with a lot of energy and some young guys that are really exciting,” said Fickell, in his 13th season coaching at his alma mater and ninth as a coordinator. “We don’t rest a lot around here. If we did it might give us more time to think about the guys we lost.”
Great start for Houston grad It was an outstanding start to the season for Houston graduate and Wilmington College pitcher Danielle Monnier. Wilmington is off to an 8-0 start to the season, and Monnier has been the winning pitcher in four of those games. In each game, she pitched a complete game, and has a 0.75 earned run average, with 29 strikeouts in 28 innings of work. She has given up 19 hits and five runs, three of which were earned. She allowed eight hits, struck out eight, didn’t walk anyone, and gave up just one earned run in the season opener against WPI. She followed that with another eight-hitter, with one strikeout, no walks and just one earned run in a win over Kenyon. Then came a gem against Eastern Nazarene, a two-hitter with 12 strikeouts and no walks, and her fourth start was a one-hitter with eight strikeouts and no walks in a win over Penn StateBehrend.
Justin Hoying, Fort Loramie Hoying pitched well for Capital in a 4-2 win over Augustana, Ill. Hoying went seven innings and allowed just two hits and no runs. He

More birdies and the lead for Tiger DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods struggled on the practice range, and he didn't feel much better two holes into his second round Friday at the Cadillac Championship. He would not have guessed this would be the day to set a personal record for birdies, much less wind up with a two-shot lead.
"All I need is one shot," he said. "And as soon as I feel it on one, I can pretty much carry through. And I did that today." It was a 4-iron on the par-3 fourth hole, the toughest on the Blue Monster. Woods hit a bullet with a slight fade at the left edge of the green and heard the
crowd cheer as the slope and the grain took the ball to within 4 feet for birdie. And just like that, he was on his way. In a World Golf Championship with the biggest names in the hunt, Woods ran off six birdies in an eight-hole stretch around the turn in a
clean, crisp exhibition. That sent him to a 7-under 65 and a two-shot lead over former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell. Woods has made 17 birdies in two rounds, his most ever on the PGA Tour, though that wasn't the most important number.

Dawson has earned right to play for a winner JEFF SCHUDEL AP Exchange Free agency isn’t always about the money. Sometimes it’s about the chance for a player to work where he chooses and get the recognition he de- Dawson serves. Free agency in the NFL begins at 4 p.m. Tuesday. If anybody has earned the right to leave one team and play for another, it is Browns kicker Phil Dawson. Dawson toiled for the Browns during 14 seasons and has one playoff appearance and one Pro Bowl to show for being the ninth-most accurate kicker in NFL history (84 percent). He has made 305 career field goals in 363 attempts.
His accuracy rate is the highest among all 25 kickers who have made 300 field goals. I could be totally wrong. I hope I am and that at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon the Browns announce Dawson has signed a four-year contract to continue taming the winds at First Energy Stadium, but expecting him to willingly go through another rebuilding process isn’t fair to Dawson. Fans professing to have great respect for Dawson should wish him well. I suspect before the end of next week he will be introduced in San Francisco as the new kicker for the 49ers. The 49ers have released David Akers. Agents can begin negotiations with new teams on Saturday — three days before the market opens. Dawson could have left the Browns two
years ago if not for them making him their franchise player. They tied him up the same way last year. Dawson tried to get a contract extension beyond 2010 for years before former general manager Tom Heckert slapped him with the franchise tag in 2011, but the Browns did not listen. This is just more collateral damage to a franchise that keeps switching coaches and general managers because it doesn’t win. When an owner feels compelled to hire a new general manager and coach every other year, signing a kicker to a contract extension is a low priority — even a kicker as successful as Dawson. There is nothing to keep Dawson in Cleveland other than a remarkably loyal fan base and the pursuit of Lou Groza’s all-time Browns
NFL scoring record of 1,349 points — a number that doesn’t include the 254 points Groza scored for the Browns in four years in the AllAmerica Conference from 1946-49. Dawson (1,271) is only 78 points behind Groza’s NFL Browns record, but he is too classy to pretend the points The Toe scored in the AAFC don’t count. The new Browns regime will learn quickly enough just how valuable Dawson is, especially in November and December when the field at First Energy Stadium is wet and soggy and the wind whips sideways as the ball sails through the air. Dawson has kicked 15 game-winning field goals in the fourth quarter or overtime for a team that has had two winning seasons since 1999. Dawson made 29 of 31 field goal tries (.935) last year. That is remarkable
by any standard, but consider this: He was the most accurate kicker in the entire AFC while playing in one of the most challenging stadiums to kick in the entire league. The only kicker with a higher success rate in the NFC was Kai Forbath, who missed only one of 18 attempts with the Redskins in 11 games. Blair Walsh from the Vikings made 35 of 38 field goal tries. He was 10 of 10 from 50 yards and beyond. He kicked in a dome for half the season. Jason Hanson of the Detroit Lions, a 20-year veteran, was 32 of 36 on field goals. He was 16 of 19 from 40-49 yards and 2 of 3 from 50 and beyond and also had the advantage of playing in a dome. Of course, no one can seriously question Dawson’s ability, his work ethic, his willingness to give back to the community in which he plays or
his loyalty to his teammates. No one can question Dawson’s loyalty to his family, either, and that comes first. The Dawsons sold the family home in the Cleveland area when they thought 2010 would be his final year here. Phil’s wife and three children live in Austin, Texas, year-round. Cleveland is closer than San Francisco to Austin by about 400 miles, but that probably won’t be enough to sway Dawson. In the final days of the 2012 season, Dawson said his dream is to kick off to start a Super Bowl with thousands of flashbulbs flashing in the stands to commemorate the moment. He has a much better chance of realizing that dream in San Francisco than Cleveland. He deserves the chance to show the world how good he is.
Let the spending begin Sting 5K April 6 BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer Get ready for the feeding frenzy. NFL free agency is coming. On Tuesday, with all 32 teams under the $123 million salary cap, the checkbooks open up. Some clubs, most notably Green Bay and Pittsburgh, barely will participate, while likely letting top receivers Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace leave for huge paydays elsewhere. That’s just their style, and building from within surely has paid off: each team has won a Super Bowl in the last five seasons. Others will eagerly be at players’ and agents’ doorsteps (figuratively and possibly literally) ready to hand out millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses. It’s not a process former team executive Bill particularly Polian likes. “You have very, very tough decisions to make. I’ve often said you can’t be right in free agency,” Polian says. “No general manager can be right in free agency. This system is designed to have you make mistakes (because) the union wants players to get paid, and people are going to make mistakes here. “So ... at least from my perspective, you try to eliminate as many mistakes as possible by taking as few risks as possible. Some people may see it differently. And that’s what makes the world go round.” Already, the biggest potential prize has gone off the marketplace. League champion Baltimore held on to quarterback Joe Flacco with the richest per-season deal
AP Photo/Joe Howell, File
In this Oct. 11, 2013, file photo, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace (17) hauls in a catch for a touchdown as Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason McCourty defends. On Tuesday, with all 32 teams under the $123 million salary cap, the checkbooks open up. Pittsburgh will likely let Wallace leave for a huge payday elsewhere. in NFL history: $120.6 million over six years, with $52 million guaranteed. Flacco gambled by playing out his rookie contract, and after a Super Bowl MVP performance to cap a sensational postseason, he won. And perhaps he set a trend. “A lot of guys are going to look at what Joe Flacco did and say, ‘I’m going to do the same thing,’ “ says former NFL personnel director Pat Kirwan. “And most of those guys will get burned.” That won’t happen until next year, of course, and this year’s grab bag has its own attractions — albeit no franchise quarterbacks available. Indeed, maybe no starting QBs, unless someone has a lot of faith in Rex Grossman, Jason Campbell or one of the McCown brothers. While Flacco-type contracts won’t be flung around, 20 or so players could wring impressive
salaries out of the bidding wars. Pass rushers Paul Kruger of the Ravens, Cliff Avril of the Lions, Israel Idonije of the Bears and Osi Umenyiora of the Giants figure to be high on general managers’ lists. Defensive back, particularly safety, has some intriguing possibilities: 2009 Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson, cut last month by the Packers; 2004 award winner Ed Reed of the Ravens; and Tampa Bay’s Ronde Barber. All of them are beyond the peak years — Barber turns 38 next month and could retire ‚— making San Francisco All-Pro Dashon Goldson the most enticing prospect in the secondary. The guys they have to cover are well represented in the free agency pool: New England’s Wes Welker, Tampa Bay tight end Dallas Clark, Jennings and Wallace. For teams looking for a breakaway threat at
running back who also catches passes, Miami’s Reggie Bush is available. If they seek more bulk and power to go with some elusiveness, Steven Jackson has an option in his contract that could free him from the Rams. Several perennial Pro Bowl players are about to be free: Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, Dolphins left tackle Jake Long, Raiders punter Lechler and Shane Browns kick returner Joshua Cribbs. One difference in free agency now is how much each team is required to spend in cash for players. Over the next fouryear period, every club must spend an average of 89 percent of the salary cap. So yes, those normally frugal teams such as Cincinnati and Jacksonville could take the cheap route for a couple of years and still get to that minimum. Several teams have as much as $40 million to spend, with a portion going to their selections in April’s draft. Still, the Browns, Bengals, Colts, Dolphins, Buccaneers and Eagles are in fine shape should they decide to go on a spending spree.

said: “I don’t want to be the pessimist, but it did not race as good as our generation five cars. This is more like what the generation five was at the beginning.” deemed NASCAR Hamlin’s remarks as detrimental to stock car racing, saying that while drivers get “ample leeway in voicing their opinions when it comes to a wide range of aspects about the sport, the sanctioning body will not tolerate publicly made comments by its drivers that denigrate the racing product.” That didn’t help Hamlin’s bewilderment at his fine in a sport known for frank talk about every aspect of competition. “It’s an opinion. It’s not even a bad one,” Hamlin said during testing Thursday. “I don’t want to make things worse than they already Women’s high series Travis Frock . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 279 Community Lanes are, and this is someTim Baumer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 279 Heather Borges. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 645 Minster Men’s high series Weekly honor scores Mary Kemper . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 542 thing that was abScott Haynes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 797 Kari Egbert . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 541 Men’s high game solutely nothing that got Mike Olding . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 268 Jerry Keller. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 750 blown into something, Galen Collier. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 266 Mark Kemper . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 738 Shirley Sharp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 514 Yvonne Garman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 508 and it’s just going to be Bill Elson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 259 Bill Elson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 735 Molly Baumer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 506 worse for them, so just Tim Baumer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 258 Dan Swiger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 729, 719 Donna Kremer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 503 Chad Berning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 257 George Holland. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 720 let them deal with it.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A furious Denny Hamlin he said won’t pay t h e $25,000 fine leveled on him by NASCAR on Thursday after his critiHamlin cism of the Gen-6 race car. The fine also left many of his fellow drivers wondering what they can say about their new cars without incurring NASCAR’s wrath. Hamlin couldn’t understand why he was at the center of NASCAR’s latest tempest over its drivers’ media comments. He compared the new race car unfavorably to last year’s car, along with lamenting the overall quality of racing last week in Phoenix. Although Hamlin’s brief comments were barely noticed last weekend, NASCAR ‚Äî clearly concerned about the Gen-6 car’s public perception — leveled a significant fine against him before Thursday’s open test of the new car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “Ultimately, I’m not OK with it,” Hamlin said outside his hauler after the morning test. “This is the most upset and angry I’ve been in a really, really long time about anything that relates to NASCAR.” He reiterated his position later Thursday in a lengthy Twitter post and said he’ll appeal the fine. “I believe I was severely disrespected by NASCAR by getting fined,” he tweeted. “I believe that the simple fact of us not even having a conversation about this issue before I was hit with a fine has something to say about our relationship. What I said was 1 sentence taken completely out of context. “I said today I would not pay the fine,” his tweet continued. “I stand by that and will go through the process of appealing. Trust me, this is not about the money. It’s much deeper. I will now shift my focus on giving FedEx and my team what they deserve this weekend, a win.” Hamlin actually ran well last Sunday, the second race for NASCAR’s new Gen-6 race car in Phoenix, finishing third in a fairly dull race that featured no passes for the lead in the final 189 laps of Carl Edwards’ victory. But when Hamlin was asked on pit road how he liked the car, he

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, March 10, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) So much is going on behind the scenes in your life right now. Some of you are purposely hiding, but others are just being private because that’s the way it is. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Friendships are important to you now. In fact, a platonic friendship could heat up into something romantic. (Oh my.) Enjoy old friends who are back in your life. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You are very high-viz today. Everyone notices you, especially people in authority — parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. Romance with your boss or someone richer or worldlier might begin. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel plans are exciting. You’re also very keen to generate more adventure in your life. Do whatever will give you a change of scenery and some thrills. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You definitely can benefit now from the wealth and resources of others. All partnerships can bring you advantages, gifts, financial perks or the use of something that someone else owns. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Partnerships and close friendships are a strong focus for you today. In part, this is because ex-partners are back in your life. Be prepared to compromise today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your surroundings affect you, which is why you’re very keen to get better organized today. When there is less clutter around you physically, there is less clutter in your mind. True! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a fabulous day to party and schmooze with others. Enjoy sports, the arts and playful times with children. Romance can flourish! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You’re unusually absorbed by situations at home now, perhaps because of residential moves, home improvements or visiting family members. Today is certainly no exception. Stock the fridge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Certain ideas excite you so much that you are keen to share them with others. This is a wonderful day for writers, teachers, actors or those of you who sell and promote for a living. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your moneymaking ideas might be quite successful. Believe in yourself. All your hard work is going to pay off! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Neptune are all in Pisces today. (Gasp!) This is why you are rowing with the wind at your back. Enjoy. YOU BORN TODAY You are sensitive and fun-loving. But you are also very compassionate and concerned about the welfare of others. This is why you emphasize internal values over external values. You are a nurturing parent and caring friend. You have a strong need for security and simple comforts. Your year ahead is the beginning of a fresh, new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Carrie Underwood, singer; Harriet Tubman, abolitionist, poet; Robin Thicke, singer/songwriter.

Council members voted to accept the recommendation of its special committee that an emergency hospital be established in the building to the rear of the county jail. The report of the special committee showed that it would be possible to establish two sick rooms in addition to a reception room. The county commissioners will be asked to provide the necessary lighting for the hospital unit. ––––– Mrs. Henry Tecklenburg received burns about the face and ears last evening when a gasoline coffee urn ignited while she was preparing supper at the Tecklenburg Hotel in Ft.

The family of Wanda Knasel wishes to thank everyone who has ever touched her life by “helping her,” “healing her,” or “hugging her.” There have been so many good people who have become good friends over the years. Wanda has had many great doctors, nurses, techs, aides, and therapists who have always been compassionate and conscientious. A special thank you to Mark at Adams Funeral Home — you filled in the gaps that we didn’t even know existed. Mom has a loving community and church family filled with dear friends. Thank-you for always keeping her in your thoughts and in your prayers. Wanda had a “warm spot” in her heart for longtime friends and classmates. Thank you all for holding her close. She never doubted you! To all of our friends who have supported us during this “journey,” we thank you for holding us up and wiping away our tears when “momma” couldn’t. Thank you to everyone who came to be with us. This not only showed us how Wanda (mom) has touched your lives, but it showed us how your lives have touched ours. We’ve had many cards and prayers sent our way, as well. Maybe you couldn’t come in person, but we still embraced every card and condolence that we have received. Many of you sent flowers, blankets, chimes, stones, bird baths - so many beautiful “things.” She would have loved that! She always loved getting beautiful “things.” We also received many donations to Aspen and the J.C. Historical Society in her memory. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Thank you to all the extended family for coming. We don’t see you often enough. Mom would have been like a butterfly, flitting around visiting with you. Thank you to Pastor Bill Halter for such a wonderful service. It truly was a celebration of her life. Thank you to the Maplewood Methodist Church for the great meal after the service. You fed us with more than just food. God truly is living in you! One last big thanks to all of you! You have touched our hearts and lives in so many ways. “To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

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.
