Farmers to go to D.C. LIMA (AP) — Ohio farmers and agriculture leaders from the state sent a clear message to Congress on their annual lobbying trip to Washington: They want to see a farm bill approved soon. About 100 Ohio Farm Bureau members took part in the meetings this past week with members of Ohio’s delegation that included a session with U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, who told the group that he wants the House to get a farm bill done this year. The Lima News reports that Boehner wouldn’t give any hints about what would

be included in the legislation that sets policy for farm subsidies, rural development and food stamps. Food stamps, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, make up roughly 80 percent of the legislation’s cost. “The really big fight will be over how big of changes we’re going to make on the SNAP program,” said Boehner, a Republican from southwestern Ohio. Last year, the Senate and the House Agriculture Committee passed farm bills, but the legislation died at the end

of last year’s congressional session after Republican House leadership said they did not have the votes to pass it. The farm law expired in September and was extended until September 2013. Farmers are eager for it to move to ahead so they can have an idea what safety net needs such as crop insurance will be included. “We need to save whatever we can of the risk management through crop insurance,” said Rick Tangeman, president of the Auglaize County Farm Bureau.

Witcher said a small amount of marijuana also was found in the vehicle. Cavazos’ young son was in the the car at the time of the incident, according to Witcher. Relatives arrived at the scene to take custody of the child. Cavazos, who was booked into the Shelby County Jail, is scheduled to appear in Sidney Municipal Court this morning on charges of driving under the influence, having weapons under disability (he reporteldy has prior convictions), resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.

Reporter faces life’s toughest deadline BY MATT SEDENSKY The Associated Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — All the time-stamped rigors of daily journalism are behind her, but the pace of Susan Spencer-Wendel’s life has only been hastened. She is dying. And dealt a diagnosis she knows she can’t beat, the race is on to finish. Her greatest story. Her toughest assignment. Her final deadline. Spencer-Wendel’s job as a court reporter at The Palm Beach Post made her a local fixture, reporting on everything from the 2000 recount to Rush Limbaugh’s legal woes. But what was once a constant rush to be first with her courthouse scoops has become a dash to live her remaining days joyfully, complete a long goodbye to those she loves, and record it all in a book that has

drummed huge interest and multimillion-dollar book and movie deals. The clock ticks forward as her body is betrayed by Lou Gehrig’s disease and yet so much is left to do. Her life has been full of happiness and she sees no reason her last days should be much different. “Life is full of chapters,” she says, knowing full well this is her last. Spencer-Wendel was on auto-pilot, locked in a timeworn routine of breaking news at the Post and “navigating the daily dance of sibling warfare” at home with her three children. That day in 2009 was just like every other, until she undressed for bed and noticed her left hand, scrawny and pale, starkly different from her right. “You need to go to the doctor,” her husband, John Wendel said.

Princess whose forbidden love gripped Sweden dies STOCKHOLM (AP) — She was one of the better kept secrets of Sweden’s royal household: a commoner and divorcee whose relationship with Prince Bertil was seen as a threat to the Bernadotte dynasty. In a touching royal romance, Welsh-born Princess Lilian and her Bertil kept their love unofficial for decades and were both in their 60s when they finally received the king’s blessing to get married. Lilian died in her Stockholm home on Sunday at age 97. The Royal Palace didn’t give a cause

of death, but Lilian suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and had been in poor health for several years. She met Sweden’s Prince Bertil in 1943, but his obligations to the throne and Lilian’s status as a divorced commoner prevented them from making their love public. The couple’s sacrifices and lifelong dedication to one another gripped the hearts of Swedes. “If I were to sum up my life, everything has been about my love,” the witty, petite princess said of her husband when she turned 80 in 1995. “He’s a great

man, and I love him.” Born Lilian Davies in Swansea, Wales, on Aug. 30, 1915, she moved to London at 16 to embark on a career as a model and an actress, showcasing hats and gloves in commercials and taking on small roles in movies. She met British actor Ivan Craig, whom she married in 1940. After World War II broke out, Craig was drafted into the British army while Lilian stayed behind in London, working at a factory making radio sets for the British merchant fleet and serving at a hospital for

wounded soldiers. At the time, Prince Bertil was stationed at the Swedish Embassy in the British capital as a naval attache. The couple first laid eyes on each other in the fancy nightclub Les Ambassadeurs shortly before Lilian’s 28th birthday in 1943. Lilian then invited him to a cocktail party in her London apartment. But it wasn’t until he fetched her with his car following an air raid in her neighborhood that the romance blossomed, Lilian recalled in her 2000 memoirs, “My Life with Prince Bertil.”

‘Oz’ bewitches box office with $80M debut LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Oz the Great and the Powerful” clicked with moviegoers. Disney’s 3-D prequel to the classic L. Frank Baum tale “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” debuted in first place and earned $80.3 million at the weekend box office in the U.S. and Canada and $69.9 million overseas, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Oz” tells the origin of James Franco as the wizard with Mila Kunis,

Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz as the trio of witches he encounters after crashing in the mystical realm of Oz. The updated take on “Oz,” which was directed by original “Spider-Man” trilogy mastermind Sam Raimi, was a gamble that looks like it will pay off for the Walt Disney Co. The film reportedly cost $200 million and opened a week after “Jack the Giant Slayer,” another big-budget 3-D extravaganza that

reimagines a classic tale, flopped in its opening weekend, debuting with $28 million at the box office. “Oz” was also golden overseas. The film conjured up $69.9 million from 46 foreign markets, including Russia and the United Kingdom. “Oz” could follow in the footsteps of Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland,” another costly 3-D film, which opened on the same weekend in 2010 and went on to gross over $1

billion worldwide. “‘Oz’ is the shot in the arm that the industry needed,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “We had six consecutive weekends where the box office was down. As a result, we’re at a 12-and-a-half percent deficit year-todate on box office revenues versus last year. Not a lot of movies have worked. There have been several underperformers.”

BELLBROOK (AP) — Ohio investigators and the slain woman’s family are still hoping for a break in their effort to identify the killer of the gentle, nature-loving daughter of a corporate leader. The Dayton Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/14yifvS) that friends and family are still baffled by the shocking 1997 slaying of Martha Oelman, 47. She was beaten to death in a family cabin deep in a southwest Ohio woods. Oelman’s father Robert Schantz Oelman had been chairman of the National Cash Register Co., formerly one of Dayton’s leading companies. “She was very private, very professional, respectful of others,” said Karen Rebori, an Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation special agent. At the time, Sugar-

creek Township police said the cabin didn’t appear to have been ransacked, nor were there indications of sexual assault. Authorities say she died of blunt force trauma to the back of her head. “We’ve looked at different people,” Rebori said. “We have looked at multiple theories.” Oelman worked promoting homeopathy, a medical specialty that focuses on natural medicines. When she failed to show up at a Columbus event, friends went to her secluded cabin home on land along the Little Miami River. On Sept. 7, 1997, they found her nude body, facing down, on her bed. “It is still shocking,” said Susan Zurcher, a friend. “I think about Martha quite often. When you rip the scabs off, it is still sore under there.”

Soldier dies CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio soldier has died during his first deployment in Afghanistan, and the military says his death was unrelated to combat and is being investigated. Spc. Cody Suggs, 22, of West Alexandria in southwestern Ohio, died at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan on Thursday, according to a Department of Defense statement Friday. It did not specify how he died. Ohio National Guard spokesman James Sims said Saturday that he had no further information about how Suggs died and did not know how long the investigation would take. Suggs joined the Ohio National Guard in 2009 shortly after graduating from Twin Valley South High School in West Alexandria. He became a truck driver for the 1487th Transportation Company out of Piqua, part of the 371st Sustainment Brigade in Springfield. Suggs’ unit arrived this year for a one-year deployment in Afghanistan. Suggs is survived by his parents, who live in West Alexandria, and a sister who lives in Dublin. They did not immediately return a call seeking comment Saturday. Sims expressed his sadness about Suggs’ death. “The Ohio National Guard, we’re all very close, so when we lose someone it affects each of us,” he said. The last time Ohio soldiers were killed in Afghanistan was on April 4. Thirty-six-year-old Capt. Nicholas Rozanski, 45-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Rieck, formerly of Sidney, and 44-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Shawn Hannon, all from central Ohio, were among 13 people killed in a suicide bombing.

6 teens killed BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN The Associated Press

Fatal crash near Warren

WARREN (AP) — Highway Patrol officials say speed was a factor in the violent early morning crash of a sports utility vehicle that killed six teenagers in the northeast Ohio. Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt says at a Sunday night news conference that he wouldn't estimate the speed the Honda Passport was traveling when it crashed into a guardrail and flipped over into a swampy pond at about 7 a.m. Sunday. He says that speed was an issue with the SUV that was carrying eight teenagers. Holt says he isn’t sure what the speed limit on the two-lane road is and wouldn't estimate the speed that the SUV was traveling. He also says he won't comment on whether alcohol or drugs were involved. State troopers showed off the wrecked vehicle, the windows cracked and with the most extensive damage to the front end, hood and roof. Investigators say it came to rest upside down in the swamp and sank with five of the victims trapped inside. A sixth who was thrown from the

SUV during the crash was found under it when the vehicle was taken out of the water. The two survivors escaped and ran to a nearby home to call 911, the highway patrol said. E “All I know is my baby is gone,” said Derrick Ray, who came to the crash site after viewing his 15year-old son Daylan’s body at the county morgue. He said he knew that his son, a talented football player who was looking forward to playing in high school, was out with friends, but didn’t know their plans. A pile of blue, green and copper-red stuffed bears grew at a makeshift memorial at the crash site along a two-lane road tightly bordered with guardrails on either side in an industrial area. The sport utility vehicle had sheared off tall cattails along the guardrail. There were also notes at the memorial, includ-

ing a letter from Daylan Ray’s 12-year-old half-sister, Mariah Bryant, who said she had learned they were related only in the past year. “It hurts, it really does, because they are so young and, like, they could have had so much more to life,” she said. “We just really started getting close, and it’s hard to believe he’s gone.” Two of the teens, both 15, were brought to a hospital in full cardiac arrest, St. Joseph Health Center nursing supervisor Julie Gill said, and were pronounced dead there. She said they were treated for hypothermic drowning trauma, indicating they had been submerged in cold water. The two who survived, 18-year-old Brian Henry and 15-year-old Asher Lewis, both of Warren, were treated for bruising and other injuries and released, she said. All those killed were ages 14 to 19, authorities said. State police identified them as 19-year-old Alexis Cayson; Andrique Bennett, 14; Brandon Murray, 17; and Kirklan Behner, Ramone White and Ray, all 15. The Highway Patrol said Alexis was the only female in the vehicle. It wasn’t clear who was driving.

Schools backing off federal grants COLUMBUS (AP) — Some Ohio schools have decided that federal Race to the Top education grants aren’t worth it. The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/Y260rx ) that some 80 school districts and charter schools across the state have backed out of the grant program after winning money. Some withdrew quickly after deciding requirements were too costly, while others who have been receiving money are starting to pull out. Schools say new teacher evaluations tied to the grant money add to the costs. Schools say they often have to remove teachers from classrooms to train them to meet grant mandates, and administrators get tied up spending hours on

Page 4

progress reports. “We were spending a disproportionate amount of time following all the requirements,” said Mike Johnson, Bexley schools superintendent in central Ohio. His school turned down the last half of a $100,000 grant. “It was costing us far more than that to implement all the mandates.” The grants are aimed at raising graduation rates and student test scores with funds to help revamp student testing and teacher evaluations. Some districts are also concerned about a grant requirement to use new teacher evaluations by this fall, a year before statewide use. Schools in the Columbus suburb of Worthington might decide not to accept the last quarter of a $520,000 grant because putting the new

evaluations in effect could be a violation of their contract with the teachers union. Ohio Education Department spokesman John Charlton said some districts have called to ask about withdrawing because of the evaluations requirement, but decided not to because it would only

delay the change by one year. Johnson said the teacher evaluation requirement made cutting the grant plan short an easy call, because the district was already losing money on costs. “I thought we would be able to wait until the end of our contract,” he said.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The State Highway Patrol says its increased efforts to crack down on drug trafficking and other crimes are paying off with more calls to its revamped hotline and greater use of its criminal intelligence unit, which follows up on tips and helps other law enforcement agencies. The state launched an easier-to-dial hotline, (hash)677, to replace the old 1-877-7-PATROL about a year ago, encouraging travelers to call not only when they need help or see an impaired driver, but also to report tips on crimes such as drug activity and human trafficking. The patrol says it’s getting more than 4,000 calls per month statewide, and while it doesn’t keep statistics on the topics of those calls, it has begun trying to track more specifically how many come through the hotline. “It has exceeded every expectation, both in the number and the quality of tips that we’re getting,” said Col. John Born, the patrol’s superintendent. He said the hotline has helped lead to international investigations, though he wouldn’t discuss specifics. As more drug tips come in, the criminal intelligence unit has grown from two analyst positions to eight, and requests for its service more than doubled, said Capt. Brenda Collins,

who oversees the roundthe-clock Columbus hub that includes that unit, dispatchers and commanders. She said publicity about the new hotline number and successful cases has helped spread the word about criminal patrol efforts and prompted more tips to local patrol posts or the hotline advertised on trooper vehicles and blue roadside signs. Dozens more signs are being added this year at rest stops and along roads in areas considered to have high drug activity, patrol spokeswoman Lt. Anne Ralston said. Those signs are funded with money collected from previous cases. “The public has learned that they can call, and we’ve had enough success stories and enough action from their calls in, that they know that we’re going to do something about it,” Collins said. A tip about a suspicious tractor-trailer along Interstate 70 led to the seizure of cocaine that was worth an estimated $2.8 million near Springfield in June. The following month, a trucker who had been trained to spot criminal activity and call the hotline saw a driver on Interstate 71 with a marijuana pipe and tipped off troopers, leading to a drug bust. In September, officers following up on two hotline tips about a suspected drug trafficker stopped a vehicle and found a handgun and $120,000 worth of cocaine hidden inside.

Retiree decides to try jail instead of fine CINCINNATI (AP) — A 71-year-old retired teacher decided to learn about jail life firsthand. He didn’t think it was too bad; in fact, he says he “had a good time.” The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Obie Cargile has been checking off items on his “bucket list,” visiting museums, natural landmarks, roller skating and running marathons. When he was cited for improper brake lights, he decided to try something else new. Rather than pay a $160 fine he considered unfair, he said he would take three days in jail. He says now that it was worth it. He says he shared a tiny cell, but had a clean cot to sleep on and was treated with respect by fellow inmates. And, he says, he gained insights into the legal and jail systems.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, March 11, the 70th day of 2013. There are 295 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 11, 1888, the Blizzard of ‘88, also known as the “Great White Hurricane,” began inundating the northeastern United States, resulting in some 400 deaths. On this date: • In 1513, Giovanni de’ Medici was proclaimed pope, succeeding Julius II; he took the name Leo X. • In 1861, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America was adopted by the Confederate Congress in Montgomery, Ala. • In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln removed Gen. George B. McClellan as general-in-chief of the Union armies, leaving him in command of the Army of the Potomac, a post McClellan also ended up losing. • In 1930, former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. • In 1942, as Japanese forces continued to advance in the Pacific during World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur left the Philippines for Australia. (MacArthur, who subsequently vowed, “I shall return,” kept that promise more than 2 years later.) • In 1959, the Lorraine Hansberry drama “A Raisin in the Sun” opened at New York’s Ethel Barrymore Theater. • In 1965, the Rev. James J. Reeb, a white minister from Boston, died after being beaten by whites during civil rights disturbances in Selma, Ala. • In 1977, more than 130 hostages held in Washington, D.C. by Hanafi Muslims were freed after ambassadors from three Islamic nations joined the negotiations. • In 1985, Mikhail S. Gorbachev was chosen to succeed the late Soviet President Konstantin U. Chernenko. • In 1993, Janet Reno was unanimously confirmed by the Senate to be attorney general. • In 2004, ten bombs exploded in quick succession across the commuter rail network in Madrid, Spain, killing 191 people and wounding more than 2,000 in an attack linked to alQaida-inspired militants.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Employees enjoy ‘Beer Cart Fridays’ PORT ORANGE, Fla. (AP) — Employees at a Florida health care company are allowed to drink on the company’s tab, on company time, thanks to a perk known as “Beer Cart Fridays.” Advance Medical CEO Jennifer Fuicelli told the Daytona Beach News-Journal she’s been rolling out the beer cart for two years as part of an “unorthodox corporate culture” that rewards employees for hard work. She says the company began in 2005 with four employees and now has 350 workers in two locations — Port Orange, Fla., and Broomfield, Colo. The company also hosts costume days for Halloween, barbecues on the clock and a birthday “get out of jail free” card, which can be used for a paid day off. Employees are restricted to one beer, which Fuicelli says is a small price that “pays huge dividends.”

Frayed relations dog U.S., Afghans KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A series of security problems and fractured relations with Afghan leaders plagued Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s first trip here as Pentagon chief, including the Afghan president’s accusations that the U.S. and the Taliban are working in concert to show that violence in the country will worsen if most coalition troops leave. The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Joseph Dunford, quickly rejected the charges President Hamid Karzai made Sunday as “categorically false.” But the accusations were just the latest in a series of disputes that have frayed relations between the two nations as the U.S. works to wind down the war and turn the country’s security over to the Afghans. Speaking to reporters shortly after Karzai made the comments, Dunford said the Afghan leader has never expressed such views to him but said it was understandable that tensions would arise as the coalition balances the need to complete its mission

U.S. SECRETARY of Defense Chuck Hagel (left) is greeted by members of the U.S. Army and Marines during his visit to the Kabul Military Training Center in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday. Hagel is on his first trip to Afghanistan as defense secretary. with the Afghans’ move to exercise more sovereignty. “We have fought too hard over the past 12 years, we have shed too much blood over the past 12 years, we have done too much to help the Afghan security forces grow over the last 12 years to ever think that violence or insta-

bility would be to our advantage,” said Dunford. Dunford’s comments came, however, soon after U.S. officials cancelled a news conference with Hagel and Karzai because of a security threat — just a day after a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense

Ministry, killing nine Afghan civilians and wounding 14 others. Hagel heard the explosion from the safe location where he was meeting with Afghan officials but was never in danger. The security problems compounded a series of flare-ups in recent weeks, including a dispute that has stalled the transfer of a U.S. prison to Afghan authority as well as Karzai’s order to expel U.S. special operations forces out of Wardak province, which lies just outside the capital, because of allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior. Hagel met with Karzai Sunday night and said that he discussed all the key issues with the president. He also rejected any suggestions that the U.S. is in collusion with the Taliban. Speaking to reporters traveling with him, Hagel declined to detail his conversation with Karzai but said, ” I think he understands where we are and where we’ve been, and hopefully where we’re going together”

CARDINAL ANDRES Rodriguez Maradiaga, of Honduras, holds up the host as he celebrates a mass in the St. Mary of Hope church in Rome, Sunday. Cardinals from around the world gather this week in a conclave to elect a new pope following the stunning resignation of Benedict XVI.

Before the conclave:

Horse-trading has begun VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican insists that the cardinals participating in the upcoming conclave will vote their conscience, each influenced only by silent prayers and reflection. Everybody knows, however, that power plays, vested interests and Machiavellian maneuvering are all part of the game, and that the horse-trading is already under way. Can the fractious Italians rally behind a single candidate? Can the Americans live up to their surprise billing as a power broker? And will all 115 cardinals from around the world be able to reach a meeting of minds on whether the church needs a people-friendly pope or a hard-edged manager able to tame Vatican bureaucrats? This time there are no star cardinals and no big favorites, making the election wide open and allowing the possibility of a compromise candidate should there be deadlock. While deliberations have been secret, there appear to be

two big camps forming that have been at loggerheads in the run-up to the conclave. One, dominated by the powerful Vatican bureaucracy called the Curia, is believed to be seeking a pope who will let it continue calling the shots as usual. The speculation is that the Curia is pushing the candidacy of Brazilian Odilo Scherer, who has close ties to the Curia and would be expected to name an Italian insider as Secretary of State — the Vatican No. 2 who runs day-to-day affairs at the Holy See. Another camp, apparently spearheaded by American cardinals, is said to be pushing for a reform-minded pope with the strength to shake up the Curia, tarnished by infighting and the “Vatileaks” scandal in which retired Pope Benedict XVI’s own butler leaked confidential documents to a journalist. These cardinals reportedly want Milan archbishop Angelo Scola as pope, as he is seen as having the clout to bring the Curia into line.

7 foreign hostages killed KANO, Nigeria (AP) — Radical Islamic fighters killed seven foreign hostages in Nigeria, European diplomats said Sunday, making it the worst such kidnapping violence in decades for a country beset by extremist guerrilla attacks. Nigeria’s police, military, domestic spy service and presidency remained silent over the killings of the construction company workers, kidnapped Feb. 16 from northern Bauchi state. The government’s silence only led to more questions

about the nation’s continued inability to halt attacks that have seen hundreds killed in shootings, church bombings and an attack on the United Nations. The latest victims were four Lebanese and one citizen apiece from Britain, Greece and Italy. Britain and Italy said all seven of those taken from the Setraco construction company compound had died at the hands of Ansaru, a previously little-known splinter group of the Islamic sect Boko Haram.

GRAY, Ky. (AP) — As flames engulfed a small house in rural southeastern Kentucky, Gino Cima raced to the scene to try to save his nephew, his nephew’s fiancee and the five children inside. The drive in the tiny town of Gray took just minutes, but family members said Sunday that Cima was too late — he reached a side door as the fire raged and pulled out the bodies of the two adults. “Hey, there’s babies in there, there’s babies in there!” Gino Cima screamed to firefighters, according to his wife, Laura, who also was at the scene. The fire killed all seven people in the ranch-style home Saturday. Officials on Sunday did not identify the victims, but family members said the children ranged in age from 10 months to 3 years. They said the woman who died was three months pregnant and was the mother of three of the children inside. The other two children were siblings and friends of the family, visiting for the night for a sleepover, the relatives said. Officials said the cause of the fire was under investigation. Arson investigators were at the scene Saturday, but officials said no foul play was suspected. Laura Cima said she owned the single-story, wood-frame

house that the couple was renting. She said they had recently moved in and were busy painting and getting carpets cleaned. They shared a bedroom in the back of the house, and Cima said the children were sleeping in a front room Saturday morning. She described an unused bedroom where she and her husband saw flames pouring out of a window when they arrived Saturday. Gray is a few miles outside of Corbin, a city of about 7,000 in the foothills of Appalachia near the Daniel Boone National Forest and the borders of Tennessee and Virginia. Shannon Disney, a sisterin-law of one of the victims, said the house that burned on Shady Brook Lane is surrounded by homes of family members — so many that the area is nicknamed “Disneyland.” She said a relative who drove past the house at 7:45 a.m. noticed nothing unusual, but another who lives nearby saw smoke coming from it around 9 a.m. Disney described the couple as devoted to the children, with their lives organized around bedtime and bath time. She said the woman had just gotten an ultrasound, and the couple was excited to plan for the birth, though they didn’t know yet whether it was a boy or girl.

Marvel releases 700 No. 1 issues digitally BY MATT MOORE The Associated Press In comics, the first issue is where the story starts and the legend begins. For readers, a print copy of issue one can be hard to find and expensive to buy. But those rules don’t apply to tablets, laptops and smartphones both for comics fans and those curious about characters they may have seen in film or on television. Part of that fascination with superheroes and their growing cachet in popular culture is why Marvel Entertainment, home to the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the Avengers, among others, is making more than 700 first issues available to digital readers starting Sunday for free through the Marvel app and the company’s website.

Mix 1/2 cup of vinegar (white or apple cider), 1 pint of rubbing alcohol and 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, and finish with enough water to make a gallon.

Monica Black has been named Ambassador of Walk MS: Shelby County, 2013. Black serves on the Walk MS: Shelby County committee, and is captain of her Walk MS team, MS Militia. This is her fifth year walking in the fundraiser for the National MS Society. Black was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003. “MS is so unpredictable,” said Black. “Just because people living with MS look okay on the outside, doesn’t mean we’re OK on the inside.” Multiple sclerosis, an often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Although Black enjoys camping and boating, she doesn’t get to spend as much time outdoors as she likes. “Hot temperatures affect me more than anything,” she said, “and cold weather worsens my constant pain. I am choosing to do something about it. I walked when I was barely able to feel my legs and feet. I wanted to participate in Walk MS to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis and connect with others affected by the disease. Walk MS gave me an opportunity to share my diagnosis with others, while fundraising.” Walk MS: Shelby County is April 20 at 10 a.m. at Tawawa Park. Funds raised benefit the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National MS Society. Participants can register at www.WalkMSOhioValley.org or by calling (800) 344-4867.

Kern previously filled various policy and legislative roles with the Ohio Senate Majority Caucus, several state senators and for the office of U.S. Sen. George Voinovich. He is a graduate of Wright State University with a degree in social sciences. He is active in his local community and is currently an officer candidate with the Ohio Army National Guard. Kern and his wife, Amie, are the parents of two children. “Farm Bureau members are very engaged in the political and legislative process, and Brandon will be a great asset in helping them achieve their goals.

antee and revenue. To determine the guarantee and revenue for the SURE Program, all crops on all farms for a producer are included in the calculation. Payments under the SURE Program are limited to $100,000. To be eligible for the 2011 SURE Program, producers must have crop insurance on all insurable crops. For crops that are not covered by crop insurance such as pumpkins and cucumbers, producers must have purchased Non Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage from FSA. The Crop Insurance and NAP purchase requirement is waived for crops that are not economically significant to the farming operation. To be eligible, the producer must have at least one crop with a 10 percent production loss. The writer is executive director of the Shelby County Farm Service Agency.

Ohio Dept. of Agriculture launches program REYNOLDSBURG — The Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Office of Farmland Preservation will accept applications from local sponsors for the Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program through Friday. From selected applicants, the department will certify land trusts, local governments and soil and water conservation districts to partner with the department to manage a local program to preserve farmland. This will provide local communities with more input regarding farmland preservation in their area by allowing them to manage landowner application grant processes. The application is available at www.agri.ohio.gov/divs/FarmLand/FarmLand.aspx. Organizations will be selected based on their experience in managing ease-

ment programs and local support for food and agriculture, Ohio’s top industry. Once local sponsors have been certified, landowners interested in preserving their farmland in perpetuity may apply directly to certified organizations which have been granted funding from the state. Landowner applications will be accepted beginning in late April or early May, with $2.7 million available this year to fund agricultural easement purchases. Funding for the program is derived from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, approved by voters in 2008, and used to purchase agricultural easements from willing sellers through a competitive process. For more information on the new, local program contact the state Office of Farmland Preservation at (614) 728-6210.

Bureau selects winner COLUMBUS — Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) has announced the winner of its 2013 Children’s Literature Award. “The Guardian Team: On the Job with Rena and Roo” by Cat Urbigkit was honored for its depiction of agriculture and contribution to American literature. “The Guardian Team: On the Job with Rena and Roo” introduces young readers to a dog and burro team at work on a sheep ranch in Wyoming. Urbigkit included dynamic real-life photographs in the book. The annual selection is made by members of the communications committee of OFBF’s board of trustees who review a list of nominees. The book also was selected as the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture’s book of the year. Urbigkit is an award-winning writer and photographer who lives on a Wyoming sheep ranch. She writes for several media outlets and blogs and honed her writing skills as a newspaper reporter for more than a decade. The American Farm Bureau Foundation has created an educator’s guide as a companion piece to the book; the guide takes elementary students through various learning activities. The book and/or educator’s guide can be ordered by visiting AgFoundation.org and clicking on “Resource Orders” and searching for The Guardian Team. When ordering books online, editions identified as the Ohio winner can be requested.

Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely said farmers need to be able to plan ahead and the lack of a farm bill is getting in the way of that. “They won’t invest until they know the rules of the game,” he said. “Farmers are smart people. They can figure out how to operate within the rules.” U.S. Rep. Bob Latta, a Republican who represents northwestern Ohio, said Congress must now start over on the new farm bill. “That’s not real good news, but that’s where it’s at,” he told the group. Among other topics brought up during the meetings were water quality regulations and the agricultural guest worker program that’s part of the debate over immigration reform, “Migrant workers are important to farming across the nation,” said Troy Ernest, Allen County Farm Bureau president. “We need to protect our borders, but we also need a legal method to bring seasonal workers in and out of our state.” ——— Information from: The Lima News, http://www.limanews.com

Project connects SHS students with local government the collapse of a 3-story brick wall in 2008, as well as other dangerous conditions, the owner ceased operations and essentially abandoned the property. The city of Sidney has been working for several years to complete an Environmental Site Assessment of the property.” Dulworth added that the city has received two grants necessary to complete that assessment, but the city is still researching available funding to demolish the structures and make the property ready for redevelopment. “Rough estimates have calculated the cost of demolition, including the specialized removal of asbestos-containing materials, between $800,000 and $1.2 million. The soil remediation is estimated to cost an additional $300,000 to $500,000. Unfortunately, there are limited grant dollars available,” she said. Another of Whitman’s students researched funding for the Animal Shelter. Student Andrea Scott said, “The point of my project was to establish the role in which the Animal Shelter helps the community. I was interested in seeing if we could find other ways to raise money for the shelter.” She learned that the Shelby County Sheriff oversees the Animal Shelter for the County

Board of Commissioners. When asked how funds are obtained for the shelter, Chief Deputy James Frye responded, “The shelter is fully operational from the sale of dog licenses. SCARF is a new program, and they are great at soliciting funds by having fund raisers. We also get private donations from citizens.” Scott learned that the shelter can always use food and anything used in the care of the animals as well as volunteers to help walk the dogs, clean the kennels, and answer phones in the office. Student Faith Osburn contacted City Manager Mark Cundiff to answer her concerns. “I was surprised at his friendliness and how quickly he replied. Knowing that my voice can be heard was a real eye opener.” When asked about the success of the overall project, Whitman said, “I our students think gained quite a bit from the experience, learning how to respectfully approach local officials and where to go to get some answers. Most importantly, they witnessed firsthand that there are outstanding and genuine people serving in local government that are dedicated to serving the people of this community and making Sidney a better place to live.”

REPORTER

sprinted to continue her travels and to put them in writing, tapping out the vast majority of her book, “Until I Say Goodbye,” on her iPhone using just her right thumb. She believes it is the best thing she has ever written, this narrative in which her travels are documented alongside her own decline. Now 46, the woman who rushed to hearings and banged out stories in a flash no longer can walk or swallow a pill. But she offers a manuscript as likely to tug at the funny bone as the tear ducts. “I did not want to write a maudlin book,” she says in an interview, “I wanted people to laugh.” It is tinted by her life in journalism, easy-todigest chapters with simple language, each of them like standalone stories buttressed by engaging starts and even stronger finishes. It was a conscious effort on her part, and that of her coauthor Bret Witter, to focus so intently on each story’s ending. And she’s quick to see the parallels in her own life, her own search for a powerful ending. As that day draws closer, she’s comforted by the way her son Aubrey notices the sky’s brushstrokes as the sun goes down, how Wesley talks of being a dolphin trainer and Marina dreams of living in New York. She thinks about her husband John and prays he finds love again, that he loses not a moment to guilt. She laughs and reads and writes. She lives the best she can, hoping to impart lessons with her parting choices. “I am not gone,” she writes. “I have today. I

She went through a year of medical appointments and tests and a subsequent year of denial. She sunk into depression and contemplated suicide. When the verdict was finally delivered, there was no surprise. On the way back from the neurologist, she waited outside when her husband stopped in Burger King for a bite. And reflecting on the news she received, she was overcome with a strange feeling of gratitude, for the 44 years she had lived with nary a health problem to speak of, for the career, the family, the travels, for all she’d been blessed with. Before long, a roadmap was in place for her remaining time. She would travel the places she wanted to go, surround herself with the people she loved, prepare her family for what’s to come. She would live. Joyfully. She went to California to find her birth mother; to New York, where her teenage daughter tried on wedding dresses for a glimpse of a day they’ll never share; to Budapest, where she and her husband retraced footsteps of an earlier life; to the Yukon, in a vain attempt to see the Northern Lights with her lifelong best friend; to the Caribbean, to Cyprus, and on and on. Along the way, she wrote stories about two of her trips for the Post that were so heartbreakingly recorded they caught the eye of HarperCollins, which gave her a $2.3 million deal, and Universal Pictures, which followed with a seven-figure offer of its own. She

have more to give. I know the end is coming but do not despair.” Spencer-Wendel’s body has withered and weakened. She must rely on her husband to do nearly everything for her, from lifting a Parliament to her lips for a drag to folding her hands on her lap and fixing her hair. As the book’s March 12 release approached, though, her appearance was most notable for the wide smile she wore and the peace that she radiates. She relaxes this average Tuesday afternoon, watching “Law & Order” in her den, enjoying a lick from her new French bulldog and laughing with glee when her sister pays a visit. The book is done, the travels are over, but Spencer-Wendel has found a measure of solace as her life draws to a close. Most ALS patients die within three to five years of diagnosis. She knows her days are few. Though there are new challenges each day, Spencer-Wendel has also found new joy. Eating and swallowing keep getting harder, but she’s thrilled by the interest in her book, by the new articles and clippings that keep arriving in her mailbox. Her voice becomes more and more garbled, yet she relishes the time her and her husband share even though it is her illness that forced him to quit his job. She constantly looks on the bright side. “I listen often to one of my favorite rock songs, guitarist Eric Johnson’s ‘Cliffs of Dover,’” she recalled by email. “And I think ‘Thank God I was not a guitarist!’ I watch ballet and think ‘Thank God I wasn’t a dancer.’”

Sidney High School students learned a great deal about local government as a result of a school project assigned by Social Studies teacher, James Whitman. “I assigned this project to senior American Government students in hopes that they would select a local issue they felt needed improvement, but ultimately I wanted to conquer their apathetic attitudes by showing them that with a conscientious effort, they CAN make difference.” Students selected a range of projects pertaining to speed limit signs, confusing traffic signals, funding for local organizations, and building eyesores within the city. “I didn’t just want the students to pick something for which to complain, but rather, I wanted them to investigate the issue and offer a reasonable solution. What surprised me most was the willingness of our local government officials to assist these students in completing their projects,” Whitman said. The students were required to document their research with pictures, visits to public offices, correspondence, and other fact-finding missions. Senior Natasha Harris chose to investigate the guardrail separating Ohio 47 between the hospital and downtown. “I chose the guardrail because I feel it is dangerous and looks bad. I contacted Mayor Mike Barhorst, who told me this issue is one that is frequently discussed. He indicated the guardrails will be replaced with cement barricades similar to those that separate lanes on the interstate, and pending grant approval, this project would start sometime in the spring of 2014.” Senior Austen Craun focused his project on investigating what could be done about the dilapidated Wagner building near Wilkinson and Fair Roads. “I feel the building is a major fire hazard and an eyesore. I wanted to see if there were any plans to renovate or tear it down,” said Craun. He contacted Shelby County Auditor Denny York first, in an effort to discover if the current owners of the property were planning on cleaning up the site. York responded, “The Wagner building is a special problem. There is a possibility that the building and soil in and around the facility is ‘contaminated’ with chemicals and harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and/or asbestos. Remediation can run into the multi-millions of dollars on a site like this. Therefore, nobody with any assets is willing to take ownership of the property even if it were given to them for nothing.” Another student, Dustin Fox, also chose to investigate the Wagner Building and received a detailed response from Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth. She said, “This property was the home of Wagner Manufacturing from the early 1880’s to 1997. Between 1997 and 2002, limited manufacturing continued. After

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t push yourself with respect to being super-productive at work, because it isn’t going to happen. Too many loose ends. Just cope as best you can. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a wonderfully creative day! It’s also a fun day for playful activities with children, sports events and the arts. Surprise romance will flourish for some of you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Although this is a good day to entertain at home, some surprises might take place. Small appliances could break down, or minor breakages could occur. Unexpected company might drop by. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Guard against kneejerk reactions today regarding how you do things

and even how you speak. Take an extra moment to give everything a sober second thought. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid major expenditures today. Only spend money on food. If you have moneymaking ideas, write them down and just think about them — don’t act. This is a creative day, but not very practical. YOU BORN TODAY You’re a survivor: you have fortitude and resilience. You feel destined

for your future, which is why you’re intrigued with predictions. You like philosophy, science and intellectual speculation. You don’t complain. It’s important for you to grow and develop in this lifetime because you believe in the evolution of the spirit. Work hard to build something this year because your rewards will soon follow.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will Wednesday be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, March 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be very careful today; you may be quick to lose your temper since you feel quite emotional about something. But whatever you do will just be a detour. Cool your jets. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a loosey-goosey day, and you know it is because you feel it. Use this energy for creative, playful fun. Avoid important decisions, especially major expenditures. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy schmoozing with others today, especially female acquaintances. Quite likely, someone has a surprise for you. Be prepared.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Even though you might be caught off guard dealing with authority figures recently, don’t try to patch anything up today. Things are too unpredictable and loosey-goosey. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans are full of cancellations, delays and surprises. Just accept this. This same level of uncertainty applies to higher education, publishing, medicine and the law. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Do not agree to important decisions about shared property, insurance matters or inheritances. This is a poor day to sign important documents. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although this is a poor day to do business, it can be a fun day for just goofing around and enjoying the company of others, especially partners and close friends. Take it easy. SCORPIO

DR. WALLACE: I’m outraged that you are against drinking alcohol until a person reaches t h e “magic” age of ’Tween 21, and y o u 12 & 20 even inDr. Robert cluded Wallace those in the military. I happen to be a Desert Storm veteran. If an 18-year-old G.I. can vote, be charged as an adult for a crime and die for his country, he should be able to have a cold beer when he’s thirsty. I’m tired of “goodygoody” guys like you preaching about the “evils of drinking alcohol.” I know you are not a military veteran or you wouldn’t think the way you do. We vets have got to stick together. —Veteran, Galesburg, Ill. VETERAN: It’s not important if I am or am not a military veteran when I say the world would be a much better and safer place if all the alcohol suddenly vanished forever. Alcohol has triggered more tragedy and pain than it has brought joy and comfort. But, for your information, I served my country in the Korean War. I only mention this to show that all vets don’t think alike. Thank goodness! It would be great if an 18-year-old could enjoy a single cold beer when he was really thirsty. But alcohol is an addictive drug, and eventually, the one drink leads to another and another. I’m firmly convinced that alcohol use has brought more pain and destruction to families than it has brought joy and healing. DR. WALLACE: My parents are divorced, and I live with my mom and my grandmother. I’m 15 years old. My problem is that ever since the divorce, my mother has been very grouchy. She constantly blames me for every little thing, and she is rude and unkind to Grandma and to me. Last night I was talking to my boyfriend, and my mother walked by and pulled the telephone from my hand and hung it up. I was so embarrassed I broke into tears. When my boyfriend called back to find out what happened my mother wouldn’t let me answer the phone. All she did was swear a lot. My father is living in a beautiful new apartment, and he told me I could come live with him and his new wife. I would have my own bedroom and live in a nicer neighborhood. My mother said I could go if I want to; she didn’t care. I talked to my grandmother (my mother’s mother), and she said I should live with my father until my mother “gets her act together.” I would also be in my same school. I know you really care for teens, so I’m wondering what you would advise me to do? I hate to leave my mother, but somehow I feel I am annoying her right now. — Sheila, Tyler, Tex. SHEILA: Take your grandmother’s advice. If mother needs and wants you to come back when she “gets her act together,” you still have the option to return to live with her if you want to.

This person might even make you reconsider your future goals. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs are full of surprises today. Don’t try to anticipate them. Just brace yourself and be ready for something. (Don’t quit your day job.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Travel plans might be canceled; alternatively, a chance to travel somewhere might drop in your lap. Plans related to higher education, publishing and the media are just as unpredictable. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Unexpected gifts, goodies and favors from others might come your way today. Check your bank account to make sure you know what’s happening. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A friend or spouse will surprise you today by doing or saying something you least expect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an accident-prone day for your sign, so slow down and take it easy. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Slowly, slowly. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Keep an eye on your money and possessions today because something unpredictable could occur. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. YOU BORN TODAY You are a free spirit who values your independence. You’re not afraid to blaze your own trail in life, because risk never holds you back. You’re courageous and prepared to struggle for what you want. Although you appear down-to-earth, you’re a visionary. You know how to fully develop your talents. In the year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Aaron Eckhart, actor; Holly Williams, singer/songwriter; Harry Harrison, author.

March 11, 1913 The special engineers from Toledo are hard at work figuring out and totaling up the different bids for the proposed street paving and expect to have the work completed so that the contract can be awarded later this week. The Oldham-Bennett Realty Co. has installed a Wert Power Brick machine with a capacity of 10,000 bricks per day, in their plant in East Sidney. The brick has been tested and passed by the Pittsburg Testing Laboratory. A number of good houses have been built in Sidney out of the cement brick. ——— Once again the delightful spring season is with us and today Sidney women were out in force as they visited the various millinery stores of the community on the occasion of their annual spring openings.

March 11, 1938 A full confession to the three robberies of the Sunset Oil station and the single robbery of the Valentine Service Station was made by Victor Hire, 19, of Lima to Sheriff Truman Pitts, and Deputy James Blackford, shortly after noon today. Hire was brought to Sidney yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police O’Leary from Troy where he was being held on a charge of breaking and entering a home. He was released by Troy officials because the charge of armed robbery facing him in Sidney was the graver charge of the two. ——— Purchase of two new fire trucks, completely equipped, for use in Minster and Jackson Townships, was assured today, following action taken by the Minster Village Council last night, and agreed to by the Township Trustees.

50 years March 11, 1963 Frederick Whitaker, son of Mrs. Nick Vourias, 912 N. Broadway Avenue, has accepted a position with the Abbott Laboratories in Waukegan, Illinois. Whitaker recently received his PH.D. Degree

from the University of Illinois, where he did work toward his doctorate in parasitology. A graduate of Sidney High School in the class of 1946, Whitaker received his AB degree from Otterbein College at Westerville. He received his masters degree from the University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, and during the interim period has at several taught smaller colleges in South Carolina and in Kansas. ——— Town and Country Euchre Club, meeting in the home of Mrs. Philip Ruese on South Main Avenue, honored the birthdays of two of the members, Mrs. Robert Maxwell and Mrs. Ray Cotterman. In the games, the awards went to Mrs. Sandra Kreitzer and Mrs. Ray Cotterman for scores with the travel honor going to Mrs. James Stockstill.

25 years March 11, 1988 The management of Wilson Memorial Hospital has announced the opening of a new department. It will be known as the Occupational Medicine Department. Services will be provided to local industries concerning employees who have been injured on the job or need other employment-related needs. The program is being modeled after a similar one in Marysville. ——— Everyone knows the success of the Sidney High School wrestling program. SHS graduate Brad Rogers is just the latest example. Rogers is wrestling for Ohio Northern University. His record this year is 28-7-1. He has qualified the Division III national championships. Rogers is a senior this year.

What do we do? We should not be kissing a friend the way we do, but we can’t seem to stop. We’re not hurting anyone. We have tried meeting only in public places, but there is still the goodnight kiss. I never thought I’d need this kind of advice at my age. Must we stop spending time together? — FLABBERGASTED IN WISCONSIN DEAR FLABBERGASTED: Not in my opinion. I assume you’re both eligible. This is the

way relationships develop, and you would be foolish not to see where it leads. As of now, a kiss is still a kiss. Let me hear from you in a month. DEAR ABBY: I am writing on behalf of hairstylists. We are busy people. Our time is money. We rarely even stop for lunch. Clients who come in talking on their cellphones are a real problem for us because they slow us down.

I have had clients jump up from my chair to answer their cellphone in the middle of a haircut — hair flying everywhere. I have had to do a haircut AROUND a cellphone, with the client switching the phone from ear to ear! These are not even important calls — just casual conversations. The lack of courtesy is ridiculous, and it seems to be getting worse. I would like people who do this to think twice before subjecting their stylist to

it. They should put their phones on silent, get their hair cut or colored, and talk on their own time! — FED UP IN NEBRASKA DEAR FED UP: You are not helpless. This is happening because you have allowed it. If you can’t find the gumption to tell your customers you don’t want them using their cellphones while they’re in your chair, then post a sign on your mirror that reads “Cellphones Not Allowed.”

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

Two to state again Anna, Loramie girls capture regional titles Lady Rockets will make 3rd straight trip to Columbus BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com SPRINGFIELD — Yes, it was the same team that beat the Anna Lady Rockets by 10 points during the regular season. This time around, though, the Lady Rockets showed who was the best Division III team in the Southwest District — again — routing the Lady Mohawks 61-42 to win their third consecutive regional tournament and book another trip to Columbus for the state tournament. “We’re scouting fools, and we didn’t see them much before we played them during the season,” said Anna head coach Jack Billing. “Since then, we’ve probably seen them four or five times.” And Billing knows what to do with the knowledge he soaks up like a sponge. And that was the difference Saturday afternoon. He knew Madison liked to let three-point shots fly from guards Meghan Miller and Olivia Philpot, so he wasn’t about the let that happen. And when it was over, the Lady Mohawks had just one three-pointer on the day. Anna, 24-4, now turns its attention to the state tournament for the third year in a row, and they begin their quest for a second D-III championship in the last three years Thursday at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus against Orrville at 3 p.m. The winner of that

ANNA’S RACHEL Noffsinger passes the ball past Middletown Madison’s Josie Harding in Division III Regional final action at Springfield Saturday. Anna breezed to a 61-42 victory. game will return Saturday morning at 10:45 to play for the title. Anna wasted no time in sending a message to the Lady Mohawks that this time around was going to be different — vastly different. Cayla Bensman was a tough matchup for Madison, and it showed on the very first possession, when she easily got around 6-foot-2 Josey Harding for a layup to open the scoring. She would score three more buckets in the first

quarter on her way to a second straight big game in regional play. After Erica Huber scored four straight, two from the line, Bensman scored again and the Lady Rockets were on top 11-1 with 2:29 remaining in the opening period. The Lady Rockets would go on to lead 17-6 after one before things slowed down a bit in the second quarter. Madison drew within 19-12 late in the period, but Anna reeled off the final five points

of the first half to double the score on the Lady Mohawks at the break, 24-12. The Lady Mohawks came out and scored the first four points of the third quarter, but Anna had an answer again. The Lady Rockets went on a 7-0 run, and all of them came from Bensman, who finished the game with 25 after scoring 24 in the semifinals against Miami East. See ANNA/Page 18

3rd trip in 4 years for Loramie BY RYAN CARPE rcarpe@civitasmedia.com TIPP CITY — Four years and four regional championships. The history behind Saturday’s game was a testament to both programs, as Tri-Village and Fort Loramie met once again for the Division IV Regional Championship game at Tippecanoe High School Last year, the Patriots defeated the Redskins to advance to state for the first time in program history. Fort Loramie won the matchups in both 2010 and 2011, and TriVillage was hungry to even the record. Fort Loramie advanced to this year’s regional championship by beating Marion Local 71-66 in the regional semifinals, while Tri-Village took down Mechanicsburg in a close 47-44 game to make the final eight. To start the ball rolling, Tri-Village fired off a threepointer to take an early 3-2 lead, but the Lady Redskins adjusted their defense for the Patriots’ outside shooting. “Our defense I thought in the first quarter, not letting them get their three-point shots, that was the big key to start off the game,” said Fort Loramie coach Carla Siegel. Tri-Village tied the Lady SDN Photo/David Pence Redskins at 9-9 four minutes FORT LORAMIE’S Paige Ordean puts up a shot in Division IV into the game, but Fort LoRegional final action Saturday at Tipp City. Loramie coasted ramie vaulted into a 10-point streak to end the first quarter. to an easy win over Tri-Village to advance to state.

For the last four minutes of that first quarter, and then the whole second quarter it was just a disaster for us,” said Tri-Village girls basketball coach Brad Gray. “You have a span like that against Fort Loramie, you’re not going to win. We just had a bad go of it there for a 12minute span. You don’t want to go cold against somebody like that.” Going into the second, the Redskins established their lead with a seven-point run with Darian Rose at the helm. Rose had 10 for the first half, while Renae Meyer held up her team with 11. “The one thing we preached all year long was teamwork. You can’t be just one person. A lot of people concentrate on Darian Rose, which is fine, but there’s so many other girls that step up,” said Siegel. “It takes a team to win a regional championship.” Fort Loramie kept up the pressure under the glass, and hammered out offensive rebounds against the Patriots. “A lot had to do with the fact that we couldn’t get a board (rebound),” said Gray. “We talked all week about we had to have five kids going to the glass. We couldn’t rely on one kid. We didn’t have a rebound for what seemed like forever. I know we were down 9-0 on the boards at one point. You can’t give them second, third and fourth opportunities to score.” See LORAMIE/Page 18

ANNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S AVERY Bensman applies pressure to Middletown Madisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meghan Miller in action at Springfield High School Saturday. Anna won to earn its third straight trip to the state tournament.

ANNA â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought they would have a hard time keeping up with Cayla,â&#x20AC;? said Billing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good state tournament last year, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a mission.â&#x20AC;? Bensman was 8-for-12 from the floor and 8-for-9 from the free throw line, including 8-for-8 in the final period. In addition, she had three assists and three steals. Anna took a 39-23 bulge into the final period before the Lady Mohawks started making some noise. A steal and a bucket by Miller with 4:50 left capped a 10-0 run and cut Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 41-35 with still plenty of time remaining. But seconds later Philpot was whistled for her fifth foul, and a pair of free throws by Huber and four in a row by Bensman jacked the lead back up to 47-35

From Page 17 and the Lady Rockets built on the margin from there. Natalie Billing, who will play basketball at Northwestern Ohio next year, was the recipient of some excellent assists in finishing with 14 points, and she worked hard on the boards against the taller Lady Mohawks and pulled down 10 rebounds. She was also 7for-10 from the field. Huber, meanwhile, was her relentless self, finishing with 13 points and getting 11 of those at the line in 15 attempts. She also dished out seven assists. Anna hit 18-for-41 from the field for 44 percent and hit 24-for-35 from the free throw line, 69 percent. In the final period, the Lady Rockets hit 16 of 21 from the line. They also outrebounded

the taller Lady Mohawks 34-28. Madison, which finished 24-3, hit just 16for-51 from the field, 31 percent, and was just 9for-16 from the line. In the opening quarter, they were able to hit only 2-for-8 from the line, and that helped the Lady Rockets to the quick start. Anna (61) Huber 1-11-13; Billing 7-014; C. Bensman 8-8-25; Noffsinger 1-2-4; A. Bensman 1-3-5. Totals: 17-24-61. Madison (42) Miller 5-0-11; Philpot 2-5-9; Brunswick 1-0-2; Harding 1-24; Bush 5-0-10; Robinson 2-2-6. Totals: 16-9-32.

Anna ticket sale procedure ANNA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anna High School has announced the procedure for purchasing tickets for the Division III Girls State Basketball Tournament. Anna will play Orrville on Thursday at 3 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus. Following is the procedure: Monday â&#x20AC;˘ Anna high school and middle school stu-

dents, limit of one ticket each. 1:30-2 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Administration, Board of Education, members of Anna coaching staff, limit of four tickets. 3:30-4:30 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Girls basketball support staff, girls basketball season ticket holders (adult), parents of junior high girls basketball players, limit of four tickets. 5-6:30 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Athletic

boosters (four per membership), school employees not previously mentioned, limit of four tickets. 7-8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; School district residents, limit of four. Tuesday through remainder of week during regular school hours Anna Elementary students, general public, limit of four tickets per adult.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about Renae Meyer. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure other people got rebounds too, but I just remember her always crashing the boards and putting in some easy put-backs,â&#x20AC;? said Siegel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our rebounding was huge. It really was.â&#x20AC;? With Rose firing out a trey to end the first half, Fort Loramie doubled their advantage with a 39-19 lead. Making only seven out of 25 field goals, the Patriots were 28 percent on accuracy for the first two quarters. But Tri-Village was a long way from giving up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(In the locker room at halftime) we went over what we needed to do. We said the best thing is this thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not over. (Fort Loramie has) proven that you can come back on them,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. Jessica Boerger grabbed a point at the line to start the third, and Tri-Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ecko Brown nabbed a layup to stay in the game. But as time went on, Fort Loramie had a knack for finding the open man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every girl on my team has the green light to shoot. And I think fundamentally that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all good shooters. So we were patient in our offense and found the open person,â&#x20AC;? Siegel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teamwork, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we always try and build. Chemistry with our team every night.â&#x20AC;? As much as the Lady Patriots tried to get back into the swing, the Lady Redskins kept up their pressure and led 52-262 after another Fort Loramie sevenpoint run rounded out the last three minutes of the third quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really had a chance in the third quarter, but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought if we could get it to maybe a 10 or 12-point game going into the fourth we might have a real shot at it but we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do that.â&#x20AC;? At one point in the fourth, Tri-Village sliced the lead to 14 off a Lexi

FORT LORAMIE head coach Carla Siegel yells instructions to her team during the Division IV Regional championship game Saturday at Tipp City. Bruner trey, making it 53-39. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a little bit of a run in the fourth quarter. I was really proud of my kids for not quitting. That was our message going into the fourth quarter,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to roll over, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play hard, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play really hard for eight minutes and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go out the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played and our kids werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to roll over.â&#x20AC;? But as the clock wound down, Fort Loramie locked in the win at 69-46 and became the 2013 Division IV Regional Champions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were clearly overmatched tonight and that is a credit to Fort Loramie, a heck of a team, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be their biggest fans,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk

Bucks whip Illinois 68-55 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Having done all they could do by beating Illinois 68-55, the Ohio State Buckeyes feigned surprise that there were any other big games on the schedule Sunday. Indiana at Michigan? A piece of the Big Ten title on the line for the Buckeyes? “I think we’ve all got some schoolwork we have to go home and do,” point guard Aaron Craft cracked. Evan Ravenel, the Buckeyes’ only senior, would have none of that. “Speak for yourself,” he said with a grin. The victory over the Illini put Ohio State (237, 13-5) in position to grab a share of the conference title if No. 7 Michigan could win at home against No. 2 Indiana later on Sunday. Later, Craft finally conceded that he knew all about the conference standings and what was at stake. “There’s no point worrying about something that we have no control over,” said Craft, who had 14 points and six assists and, as usual, created havoc on defense. “Obviously, we would love for (a Michigan win) to happen. But if it doesn’t, it’s out of our hands. We did what we needed to do.” Three weeks ago Sunday, the thought of Ohio State being in the middle of a title chase was almost inconceivable. The Buckeyes were routed 71-49 at Wisconsin, a loss that knocked them two games behind the Big Ten leaders with just five left. More than that, it seemed like a psychological blow to a team that came home humiliated. “As I told them, a lot of people had this team

OHIO STATE’S Deshaun Thomas, right, shoots over Illinois’ DJ Richardson during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game on Sunday in Columbus. Ohio State defeated Illinois 68-55. dead to rights a month ago,” coach Thad Matta said. “And they haven’t lost since then.” Just in the past few days, the Buckeyes played No. 2 Indiana, which only needed a win on its home court to clinch its first outright Big Ten title in two decades. Instead, the Buckeyes hung a 67-58 upset on the Hoosiers. Then on Sunday the Buckeyes took on an Illinois team that had manhandled them in early January, 74-55. “You look at what we had to do just in terms of this week, going to Bloomington and you ride the emotional high coming off (the win there),” Matta said. “Then you’re playing (an Illinois) team that was at one point in the top 10 in the country. From the

standpoint of what these guys have been able to do, I couldn’t be prouder of them.” So they left the arena in the odd position of having to root for archrival Michigan in order to get a share of the title. The Buckeyes were seeking at least a piece of their fourth straight Big Ten crown and sixth in eight years. Deshaun Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 19.8 points a game, scored 19 while possibly played his final home game for Ohio State. “We’ll think about that decision at the end of the (NCAA) tournament,” said Thomas, a junior. “Right now, there’s a lot more basketball left. I’m just going to enjoy my time and try to get to the Final Four. That’s all I’m

worried about now.” The Buckeyes are assured the No. 2 seed in next week’s Big Ten tournament in Chicago. They beat the Illini (21-11, 8-10) by overcoming a stalemate after the first 13 minutes, closing the half on a 12-2 run and then holding off any threats at the end. “The end of the first half, they made a run on us and got a nice little lead going into halftime,” said Brandon Paul, who led the Illini with 21 points. “That definitely boosted their confidence. Then we didn’t find ways to stop them down the stretch.” Illinois pulled as close as 51-44 on consecutive 3-pointers by Paul and Myke Henry. But then Craft, who has broken out of a lethargic offensive season with several big scoring efforts, drove the lane and banked in a layup in traffic. After an Illini miss, Thomas fed Ravenel for a three-point play. Craft then rebounded at the other end and tossed in a 3 late in the shot clock and the lead was 15 with less than six minutes left. “It looks like from watching film they’re playing the best that they’ve played,“ said first-year Illinois coach John Groce, a longtime assistant to Matta at Ohio State and former Ohio University head coach. “They’re getting contributions from a lot of guys. They’re starting to connect a little bit and play together.” The Buckeyes will play Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament against the winner of seventhseeded Purdue and 11thseeded Nebraska.

(AP) — Shin-Soo Choo got four hits and Todd Frazier homered Sunday as the Cincinnati Reds beat a Chicago White Sox split squad 7-3. Frazier had three hits and Cesar Izturis drove in two runs. Reds starter Johnny Cueto was erratic in his second spring start. He walked three and hit another, but completed four innings and gave up just two runs. Chicago starter Gavin Floyd allowed four runs and struck out five in 3 1-3 innings. Paul Konerko went 0 for 3 for the White Sox after getting hits in eight of his nine previous plate appearances.

Kenseth holds off Kayne LAS VEGAS (AP) — Matt Kenseth decided not to replace any tires during the final pit stop under caution, and the calculated risk put him in the lead. Kenseth knows a bit about risk after his offseason move to Joe Gibbs Racing, and this latest gamble paid off with his third victory in Vegas. Kenseth won on his 41st birthday in just his third start for his new team, barely holding off Kasey Kahne at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for his 25th career victory Sunday. Kenseth took charge by taking only fuel on the final pit stop.

Word of the Week minute — the 60th part of an hour; 60 seconds

Newspaper Knowledge Write an editorial stating why you believe the United States should or should not change to the metric system.

Did You Know? The official spelling is Daylight “Saving” Time, not Daylight “SavingS” Time. Saving is used here as a verbal adjective (a participle). It modifies time and tells us more about its nature; namely, that it is characterized by the activity of saving daylight. It is a saving daylight kind of time. Because of this, it would be more accurate to refer to DST as daylight-saving time. Similar examples would be a mind-expanding book or a man-eating tiger. Saving is used in the same way as saving a ball game, rather than as a savings account. Nevertheless, many people feel the word savings (with an 's') flows more mellifluously off the tongue. Daylight Saving Time also is in common usage, and can be found in dictionaries. Adding to the confusion is that the phrase Daylight Saving Time is inaccurate, since no daylight is actually saved. Daylight Shifting Time would be better, and Daylight Time Shifting more accurate, but neither is politically desirable.

What Is Daylight Saving Time? People in some parts of the world gain an extra hour in winters and are able to sleep and snore that much longer thanks to a suggestion by Benjamin Franklin about Daylight Saving Time. But when the suggestion was first made, it raised such a furor not only from those kept awake by the extra snoring, but also from others and they wasted a lot of time fighting over this extra hour. Actually the confusion began when the postal service and the railways began to connect far-flung cities. These towns followed their town clock by measuring the position of the sun. Therefore, every city was on a slightly different time. In 1784, Benjamin Franklin, who was U.S. ambassador to France then, suggested the Daylight Saving Time concept but he was ignored. However, the railways decided to standardise time and Britain was the first to adapt a single consistent time across the country. But, this did nothing to ease international travel. In 1884, a Canadian railway engineer Sir Sanford Fleming suggested that the entire world be divided into time zones that would be calculated from a prime meridian. This would help calculate various time zones relative to that one. In October 1884, the International Meridian Conference met in Washington, D.C. and chose Greenwich, a village just outside London in England as the prime meridian. Though this Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) was approved and adopted by the world, the various time zones across the world caused longer daylight hours in summer and shorter daylight hours in winter in certain countries. So in 1907, a Londoner called William Willett tried to revive the subject of Daylight Saving Time. Unfortunately, he got laughed at. It was the practical Germans who realized that such a scheme helped reduce energy costs in lighting and electricity and immediately implemented it. But why would you want to save daylight time at all? Adopting the Daylight Saving Time (DST) scheme saves ener-

gy. Energy used and the demand for electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. Studies show that sunrise in the summer is very early and most people wake up after the sun rises. Because the sun is up, we don't need to turn on lights in our homes. Thus, we actually use less energy in the morning. The opposite works in winter. With DST, the “spring forward and fall (autumn) backward” system comes into play. In summer, the clock is extended by an hour and the sun therefore “sets” one hour later. This means that less electricity would be used for lighting and appliances later in the day. In autumn and winters, the clock is set an hour backward as more light is needed in the morning. However, there was opposition as people did not like the idea of getting up an hour early or going to bed an hour later, just to keep up with the Joneses in some far off village in Greenwich. Others complained of the inconvenience of changing all the clocks, and adjusting to a new sleeping schedule. For most people, this is a mere nuisance, but for some people with sleep disorders this transition is very difficult. But in 1916, a year after Willett died, Britain and USA adapted DST. Other countries followed suit. The motivation was to conserve coal during World War I.

Clocks were put one hour ahead of GMT during the summer months. But in 1918, the law was repealed in the United States. Two decades later during World War II, DST was re-introduced to help the war effort and clocks were put two hours ahead of GMT during summer! This became known as Double Summer Time. From 1945 to 1962, DST became quite inconsistent with a hodgepodge of time observances and no agreement when to change clocks. Countries were free to observe or not observe DST. This caused confusion no end – especially for the broadcasting industry, for the postal service, railways and airlines. In 1966, the United States Congress introduced the Uniform Time Act to regulate DST across the country. Today, approximately 70 countries utilize DST. While Europe has been taking advantage of the time change for decades, in 1996 the European Union (or EU) standardized a EU-wide “summertime period.” The EU is the union of all European countries into one economic entity, though they differ politically. However, some countries like those in the equatorial and tropical regions do not observer DST as daylight hours are similar through the year and there is no advantage in moving clocks backward and forward.

Oil Conservation Following the 1973 oil embargo, the U.S. Congress extended Daylight Saving Time to eight months, rather than the normal six months. During that time, the U.S. Department of Transportation found that observing Daylight Saving Time in March and April saved the equivalent in energy of 10,000 barrels of oil each day – a total of 600,000 barrels in each of those two years. Likewise, in 1986, Daylight Saving Time moved from the last Sunday in April to the first Sunday in April. No change was made to the ending date of the last Sunday in October. Adding the entire month of April to Daylight Saving Time is estimated to save the U.S. about 300,000 barrels of oil each year. Beginning in 2007, Daylight Saving Time commenced on the second Sunday in March and ended on the first Sunday in November, thereby saving even more oil.
