Black smoke = no pope Cardinals take first vote during conclave BY NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY (AP) — This time there was no doubt. There was no new pope yet, and the mystery of who — and when — was as thick as the unmistakable heavy black smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney. As thousands waited in a
cold night rain in St. Peter’s Square, the cardinals signaled Tuesday they had failed on their first attempt to find a leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church. “It’s black, it’s black, it’s waaay black!” screamed Eliza Nagle, a 21-year-old Notre Dame theology major on an exchange program in Rome, as
the smoke poured from the 6foot-high copper chimney at 7:41 p.m. “They definitely got the color right this time,” agreed Father Andrew Gawrych, an American priest based in Rome, referring to the confusion over the smoke during the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. That was thanks to special smoke flares — akin to those
used in soccer matches or protests — lit in the chapel ovens to make the burned ballots black, the sign that cardinals must come back for another day of voting Wednesday. Tuesday’s drama unfolded against the backdrop of the turmoil unleashed by Benedict’s surprise resignation and the See POPE/Page 7A

Officials ID Fryburg man FRYBURG — The identity of a Fryburg man whose body was found Friday by a relative has been released by Auglaize County Sheriff Al Solomon as Michael L. McClintock, 60. It also was reported that it is believed the death was the result of natural causes. Solomon reported that autopsy results do not indicate any signs of foul play in the death, although more autopsy investigation is being conducted. Deputies, detectives and Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification were on the scene Friday trying to determine if the death was natural or if foul play was involved. “There were some indications at the scene that we were not sure about, but now could possibly have been the result of medical complications,” Solomon said. “It appears at this point as a result of BCI agents and our office that the death was due to natural causes. However, just like any investigation, we will remain diligent to make sure this is the case.”

Ordinance would regulate panhandling Discussion on rules held during Sidney City Council meeting BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmail.com An ordinance designed to regulate panhandling was introduced by Sidney City Council on Monday night. The proposed ordinance spells out the types of solicitation that would be prohibited and the penalties for violators. Law Director Jeff Amick drafted the proposed ordinance, inviting council to make any suggestions for change. “Many Ohio communities have adopted local laws to regulate, as opposed to prohibit, panhandling activities,” Amick said. He noted the proposed ordinance was modeled after an ordinance in effect in Beavercreek. Among the panhandling activities that would be prohibited if the proposed ordinance is adopted are activities which: • Are conducted in an intimidating/harassing manner. • Continue after being told that the solicitation is unwelcome. • Are conducted in concert with more than one person. • Are conducted within proximity to public sites. • Interfere with the conduct of events/activities. Violations would be fourth degree misdemeanors (maximum sentence of 30 days and
jail and/or $250 fine plus costs) and a third degree misdemeanor (maximum sentence of 390 days and jail and/or $500 fine plus costs) on the third or more offense within a year. “It’s not intended to prohibit the activity, only to prohibit after it’s become a nuisance,” Amick said. He assured Councilman Steve Wagner that the ordinance would not prevent fundraisers like Boy Scouts selling popcorn. The ordinance will be back on the agenda for the March 25 meeting. During the public comment portion of the meeting, Chuck Craynon questioned a proposal made by the Sidney Compensation Commission to raise the salaries of council members and mayor by $1,000 per year (to $4,000 per year for council and $5,000 for mayor). Craynon contended that council members discussed the pay raise in executive session “so the Sidney voters would not know about it. As council is well aware, under the city charter, if council takes no action on the Compensation Commission’s recommendation, the pay raise will become effective in December.” “After imposing a $22 a month sewer tax on every single household in Sidney and
giving no pay increases to many city employees, I believe this council should justify in public why you are giving each council member a 33 percent raise and the mayor a 25 percent pay raise,” Craynon said. Later in the meeting, Mayor Mike Barhorst, who noted Craynon once served on council, said he was “disappointed he (Craynon) chose to take the tact he did.” In other action, council: • Approved an ordinance to permit right turns on red for westbound traffic on Michigan Street at the Vandemark Road intersection. Wagner and Barhorst both expressed some reservations about the change and advised staff to monitor whether the number of accident increases at the intersection. • Approved an ordinance adding more than 30 “no through trucks” signs to the city traffic control map. The signs are already in place, but had not been added to the traffic control map. • Introduced an ordinance that would revise regulations on private swimming pools — both permanent and storable pools. The Sidney Planning Commission recently recommended the changes be approved by council, which will discuss the issue at the March
25 meeting. Barbara Dulworth, community services director, outlined the changes. The measure would define pools in the same manner as they are defined in the 2011 National Electric Code. Among the proposed regulations for storable swimming pools are: permits are required if an electric motor is used for filtration and/or recirculation; location requirements are established in the zoning code; property owner acknowledgement is required if the residence is a rental; and pools must be stored from Oct. 15 to April 15. • Gave first consideration of supplemental appropriations which add $36,000 to the capital improvement fund (including $100,000 for the Ohio 47 safety improvements Phase I) with reductions of $60,000 for the Ohio 47 bridge over Tawawa Creek (which is now a 100 percent Ohio Department of Transportation funded project and $30,000 for the fire records system, which was encumbered last year. General fund expenditures would be increased $23,040; $8,500 would be expended early to the Convention and Visitors Bureau for the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure later this summer; $37,503 funds from the city’s reimbursement for severe storm expenses and $5,000 for the Betty
Zorn Bennett Trust Flower Fund. The supplemental appropriations will be back on the agenda for the March 25 meeting. • Approved a four-year capital and operating plan for Shelby Public Transit. Grants for 2013 include a federal grant for $321,219 (45 percent of operating costs), federal capital grant of $47,404 (80 percent of the cost of one transit vehicle, seven tablets and a UPS battery) and capitalized maintenance grant of $37,320 (80 percent of maintenance expenses). • Authorized the advertisement for bids on the shifting and lengthening of a runway at the Sidney Municipal Airport. Funds from the FAA will pay for 90 percent of the project. • Heard Barhorst declare March as American Red Cross Month in Sidney. Merrill Asher of the Northern Miami Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross thanked Barhorst and council for the proclamation, noting that the organization receives no government funds, but relies on donations to finance its disaster relief efforts. • Tabled action on ODOT’s plan to remove to bridges over a rail spur that is no longer used. Council is waiting for staff to contact all industries in the affected area.

GOODING said she then jumped out of the chair and “called him a creep” before beginning her workout and nothing else was said. The student said she told a friend about the incident that night and spoke to a female teacher about the incident the next day. The teacher then advised administrators. The sheriff ’s report states there was no video camera in the weight room. Gooding was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 8, according to Hardin-Houston Superintendent Larry Claypool, after the allegations were reported. Now that the sheriff’s office has completed its investigation, Claypool said the school will begin its process of reviewing the situation to determine what action will be taken. “I don’t think it will take too long,” Claypool said. The Hardin-Houston Board of Education will meet at 7:30 tonight in executive session to discuss “personnel.” Claypool said he couldn’t comment on whether the Gooding situation will be discussed. Gooding, who graduated from Xavier University, has been with the Hardin-Houston schools for 18 years. He reportedly had no prior disciplinary action.

Man convicted in Craigslist plot
CINCINNATI (AP) — A man found guilty of killing 11 women and hiding their remains around his Cleveland home got a fair trial, and his conviction and death sentence should stand, state prosecutors told the Supreme Court. Responding to an appeal by convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell, prosecutors told the court in Monday’s filing that he is “the worst offender in the history of Cuyahoga County and arguably of the State of Ohio.” “Sowell brutally murdered 11 innocent women by strangling them to death,” prosecutors wrote. “He left their bodies lying around his house like garbage.” In their appeal in October, Sowell’s attorneys argued that their client’s original lawyers were his “chief saboteurs” and wrongly wasted time by arguing to jurors that there was reasonable doubt about Sowell’s guilt in the face of the overwhelming evidence against him and his own confession.
highest posted limit is 60 mph. Most states with higher limits allow nontruck drivers to go 70 mph or 75 mph, according to institute data. Utah allows drivers in certain regions to go as fast as 80 mph, and 85 mph is allowed in areas of Texas. The Ohio proposal, which passed the committee 7-2, would set the maximum speed limit for interstate freeway outerbelts in urban areas at 65 mph and on freeways in congested areas at 55 mph. The state Senate
Transportation Committee revised the legislation Monday also to include a new guarantee that 90 percent of proceeds from a $1.5 billion Ohio Turnpike bond sale proposed by Republican Gov. John Kasich go to northern Ohio. That was done through language that limits spending on those funds to road and bridge projects within 75 miles of the Turnpike. The updated measure also calls for freezing toll rates for local E-ZPass users through 2023 on trips of 30 miles or less. It does not cap tolls for other motorists.

In a 911 call released Tuesday, Jacquelyn Kimble said that the two survivors were “beat up pretty bad.” “Can you send an ambulance?” she asks in the call. “Two of my friends got into an accident around Pine Street and they just came over here. They are messed up pretty bad. Can you please send somebody quick?” Her husband, Jeremy Kimble, told police that Henry was “covered with blood’ and that Lewis had mud all over. “They said the girl was swerving, driving crazy, lost control and flipped,” Kimble told police. While the reports released Tuesday shed more light on what happened just before the crash, it’s still not clear if the passengers knew the car was stolen.

I think she was driving on purpose like that but I’m not sure why.” Henry, 18, said in his statement to a trooper that Cayson lost control on the curve after speeding up.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s state school board picked Republican Gov. John Kasich’s top education adviser Tuesday as the new superintendent of public instruction. Richard Ross was selected over acting Superintendent Michael Sawyers by a 10-6 vote of the state Board of Education, with Kasich appointees dominating Ross supporters. The two finalists emerged from a list of 30 applicants from 14 U.S. states, New Zealand and Bangkok who were attracted in a search. Ross said he is excited to oversee the Ohio Department of Education and pledged to advocate the interests of the independent board despite coming from inside the governor’s administration. He helped craft Kasich’s schoolfunding formula and education reform package, which has received mixed reactions from districts and educators. “Because of my relationships with both the Legislature and with the governor, it affords an unusual and powerful opportunity to advocate for the positions of the State Board in the name of our boys and girls in the state,” Ross said. He said he has regularly engaged Kasich on issues they don’t agree on, and will continue to do so. “It’s like my DNA is aligned to help advance teaching and learning,” Ross said of his fitness for the job. He grew up on a farm in northwest Ohio and said he was taught the power of education early by his father and, after his father’s death, his high school Latin teacher. “She gave me an amazing gift and a pretty strong directive to get myself, to say it nicely, to pursue a degree in college and not go a different way,” he said, adding that he hopes for all children to have a teacher to help them achieve their potential.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2013. There are 293 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 13, 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a “holiday” declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On this date: • In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard. • In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel. • In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners. • In 1901, the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67. • In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.) • In 1938, famed attorney Clarence S. Darrow died in Chicago. • In 1943, author-poet Stephen Vincent Benet, 44, died in New York. Financier and philanthropist J.P. Morgan, Jr., 75, died in Boca Grande, Fla. • In 1964, bar manager Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed failure of Genovese’s neighbors to respond to her cries for help. • In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module. • In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto. • In 1988, yielding to student protests, the board of trustees of Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., a liberal arts college for the hearing-impaired, chose I. King Jordan to become the school’s first deaf president. • In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself.
OUT OF THE BLUE N.J. strings up dead birds BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) — The dead vulture's feathers snap and crack, breaking apart as its frozen wings are spread for one last flight. It will soon soar gracefully — albeit briefly — into a tree in this hilly New Jersey suburb, hoisted to a branch where it will hang, upside down, until spring. Wildlife officials say it’s a sure-fire way to get an estimated 100 black and turkey vultures from roosting in the neighborhood, leaving behind foul-smelling and acidic droppings on roofs and lawns, creeping out residents and even their pets. Before the black vulture’s carcass is strung up, nearly a dozen vultures glide over Bridgewater on a cool, gray Monday morning. Some perch in trees. One rests on a chimney-top. Neighborhood residents watched as wildlife specialist Terri Ombrello launched a weighted fishing line over a branch with a sling shot.

Ryan’s budget: GOP takes aim at Dem spending plans WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans redoubled their efforts to roll back signature accomplishments of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, offering a slashing budget plan that would repeal new health care subsidies and cut spending across a wide swath of programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies. The GOP plan was immediately rejected by the White House as an approach that “just doesn’t add up” and would harm America’s middle class. Obama said the plan would “slash deeply” into programs such as Medicaid. Obama has rebuffed similar GOP plans two years in a row and ran strongly against the ideas when winning re-election last year — when its chief author, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was on the Republican ticket. Ryan’s budget illustrates the stark differences in the visions of tea party-backed Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies about the size and role of government — with no obvious avenues for compromise. Obama, in an ABC-TV interview Tuesday, said he would not seek to balance the federal budget in 10 years, as Ryan’s plan attempts to do,

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama waves to reporters but does not stop for comments as he leaves the Capitol in Washington Tuesday after visiting with Senate Democrats in the first of four meetings with lawmakers this week to discuss the budget. when he submits his fiscal blueprint to Congress next month. “My goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance,” he said. “My goal is how do we grow the economy, put people back to work, and if we do that we are going to be bringing in more revenue.” Senate Democrats are responding with a plan that repeal automatic would
spending cuts that began to take effect earlier this month while offering $100 billion in new spending for infrastructure and job training. The Democratic counter won’t be officially unveiled until Wednesday, but its rough outlines were described by aides. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to describe it publicly. That plan by Senate
Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, DWash., would raise taxes by almost $1 trillion over a decade and cut spending by almost $1 trillion over the same period. But more than half of the combined deficit savings would be used to repeal the automatic, across-the-board spending cuts that began to hit the economy earlier this month and are slated to continue through the decade.
Cluster of fatal teen car Panel OKs crashes belies U.S. trend gun check LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Derrek Lee Hager had just dropped off his girlfriend in the Texas Panhandle and was headed with four other friends to a nearby town to continue enjoying their spring break. But the teens never made it, perishing in a fiery wreck near Dumas after the driver ran a stop sign and collided with a tanker loaded with fuel. The deaths of the five Texas teens came the same day as an accident in Ohio that killed six and a day before a crash in Illinois killed four. Three teenagers died Friday in Indiana when police said the drivers of two pickups ran a four-way stop and collided. The deadly accidents serve as horrific reminders of the perils of teen driving but contrast statistics indicating that fatal crashes among teen drivers have declined during the past decade, according to a report released last month by the Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety offices. The report also indicates that deaths of younger teen drivers sharply increased during the first six months of last year, reversing a 10-year trend. There were 435 16-year-old drivers killed in 2000, according to the report, but by 2011 that had dropped to 173. During the same time period, deaths among 17-year-old drivers dropped from 564 to 250. But deaths of 16- and 17year-old drivers in traffic accidents during the first six
months of 2012 rose a combined 19 percent during the same period of the previous year, from 202 to 240 deaths. The report, which does not include passenger deaths, is based on preliminary state data that sometime changes. Despite the recent increase, overall teen driving deaths are significantly lower than they were a decade ago, when teen drivers traveled with fewer state-imposed restrictions, including limits on driving with teen passengers and driving at night. Deaths of young passengers when the driver was between the ages of 15 and 20 have dropped significantly since 1982, when 1,898 riders within the same age range died, according to the report. In 2011, the year for which most recent data are available, the number of deaths of passengers between 15 and 20 years old dropped to 777, the report showed. Meanwhile, fewer American teens are getting driver’s licenses, part of a demographic segment that also includes those in their 20s and 30s, transportation researchers have found. Among those groups, the number of people with driver’s licenses has dropped significantly during the past three decades in the United States and in some other wealthy nations with a high proportion of Internet users. Researchers surmise that virtual contact through Internet and other electronic means
is reducing the need for faceto-face visits among young people, researchers say. Early Tuesday, the bodies of four high school students from Wilmington, Ill., aged 15 to 17, were recovered from a nearby creek. Will County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Ken Kaupas said it appeared the driver hit a patch of water or ice and lost control. The car tore through a guard rail on the bridge and plunged into the water. Wilmington Mayor Marty Orr said at a news conference that the city was still coming to grips with the magnitude of the tragedy. “This really kind of increases it tenfold but we’ll get through it,” he said. In Texas, Hager’s father said Tuesday that both vehicles involved in the crash were engulfed by flames, prompting investigators to turn to DNA to positively identify the teenagers in the car. The 18wheeler’s driver, Ezequiel Garcia, remained in critical condition with burns over 65 percent of his body. Terrance Hager said, despite shock and disbelief, he’s found one comfort in the loss of his 17-year-old son. “I know he’s with his mom,” he said, referring to his wife’s death eight years ago. She was killed in a traffic accident involving an 18-wheeler right outside the family’s home in Stratford, 30 minutes north of Dumas near the Oklahoma border.
POPE exposure of deep divisions among cardinals grappling with whether they need a manager to clean up the Vatican’s dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism. Surrounded by Michelangelo’s imposing frescoes portraying the beginning and the end of the world, cardinals locked themselves into the Sistine Chapel following a final appeal for unity by their dean and set about the business of electing the 266th pope. The 115 scarlet-robed prelates chanted the Litany of Saints, the sounds of the Gregorian chant echoing through
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats gave a boost Tuesday to the pillar of President Barack Obama’s plans for reducing gun violence, pushing a bill requiring nearly universal federal background checks for firearms buyers through the Senate Judiciary Committee over solid Republican opposition. The proposal still faces a difficult path through Congress, where GOP lawmakers say it would have little impact on crime and warn that it is a precursor to a federal registry of gun owners. Such a listing is forbidden by federal law and is anathema to conservatives and the National Rifle Association. The committee approved the bill 10-8, supported by every Democrat and opposed by all Republicans. It would require background checks for transactions between private individuals — they are now mandatory only for sales by licensed gun dealers — and expand a system designed to keep firearms from criminals, those with major mental problems and others. “This isn’t going to be a perfect bill,” said its sponsor, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledging that it wouldn’t end gun violence. “But it will sure reduce crimes.” The panel also voted 14-4 for a measure providing an additional $40 million annually for school safety improvements like classroom locks and training for teachers.
From Page 1 the soaring hall as, walking two-by-two, they implored the saints to guide their voting. They then took an oath of secrecy, first collectively and then individually, as each placed his right hand on the gospel and intoned the words in Latin accented by their native languages — English, German, French, Italian, Arabic and so on. Then the master of liturgical ceremonies intoned the words “Extra omnes” — “everyone out” — and dozens of prelates and Vatican officials departed as the chapel’s heavy, ornately carved wooden doors swung shut. The cardinals then proceeded
with the carefully choreographed vote, each writing his choice on a piece of paper, then folding it and tipping it into an urn, to be counted by hand by three “scrutineers” who read out the results, one by one. With no cardinal winning the required 77 votes on the first ballot, the cardinals returned to the Vatican hotel for a simple dinner of pasta with tomato sauce, soup and vegetables before another day of voting Wednesday. Benedict’s surprise resignation has thrown the church into turmoil and exposed deep divisions between Vatican-based cardinals and those in the field who have complained about
Rome’s inefficiencies and indifference to their needs. The leading contenders for pope have fallen into two camps, with Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola, the archbishop of Milan, seen as favored by those hoping to shake up the powerful Vatican bureaucracy, and Brazilian Cardinal Odilo Scherer favored by Vaticanbased insiders who have defended the status quo. Other names include Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, who heads the Vatican’s powerful office for bishops and U.S. cardinals Timothy Dolan, the exuberant archbishop of New York, and Sean O’Malley, the archbishop of Boston.

When it comes to liquid or dry measuring cups, a cup is a cup tic or metal and have a flat top. These usually come in sets starting with 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup and up to 1 cup. They are designed for you to fill with dry ingredients and then use a knife or spatula to level it off. It may matter which one you use, particularly when baking.

Knowing when to take the butter out of the refrigerator so it will be spreadable is something I have never been able to master. Softening it in the microwave doesn’t work for
me, either. I use my cheese slicer for my butter. This slicer is the planer or server type, not the wire type. It will slide across the top of the stick of butter and produce long, thin sections that melt quickly and evenly for my toast, pancakes and waffles. I use what is left over for cooking. — Susan R. in Virginia

also complain about the amount of staff time and expense it takes to manage records requests, particularly with the explosion of records in the Internet age. That’s a reasonable concern. Still, if there weren’t so many exceptions and complexities in our open records laws, it would be faster to review records with much less need to redact information by blacking it out either on paper or digitally. In other words, making more records open makes it easier for government to handle requests.
Mediation There have been positive developments in recent months, too. We urge citizens to make use of the new open records mediation process announced in 2012 by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. This is a good way to resolve disputes without having to hire a lawyer and go to court, and the process can be initiated with a simple phone call or filling out a form on the Attorney General’s website. However, the program is limited in that both sides have to agree, and it only applies to local governmental bodies. We hope a way can be found to expand this in the future. Most states have a stronger appeal process.
The other aspect of “sunshine law” involves open meetings. Here, I think the situation is more positive in Ohio. We are aware of only one pending measure to expand the use of secret meetings called executive sessions. We would like to see better recordkeeping or recording in executive sessions, and our association hopes to pursue that idea in the coming months.
Good standards We also have been working positively with government groups to set good standards for situations in which it might make sense to allow some members of a board to participate remotely through audio or video technology. Please use Sunshine Week (this week) to let your elected officials know that transparency matters. And if you need help making contact or need any background information, just let us know, because a government operating in lengthening shadows will not serve the people properly in the long run.

LLIA learns of upcoming fishing derby are new members. The membership mailing, along with raffle tickets, was mailed Jan. 29. It was noted that 248 Liberty Days raffle tickets have been sold. Doug Winner reported that the new time for the boat parade will be 1 p.m. July 21 this year, with the annual picnic to follow at 2:30 p.m. He has a tentative theme of “A Day At the Whitehouse” for this year’s parade. If anyone has any other ideas for a theme, contact Winner at (419) 628-4063. Randy Sparklin asked for volunteers to help with the annual picnic. He stated that the association doesn’t have a definite commitment from Dick and Linda Hoying about heading up the fall festival this year, but the group hopes that the pair will participate again this year. Char Smith will head up the effort for selling Liberty Days raf-
fle tickets again this year; Winner and Sparklin will take care of set-up and tear-down of the games. The Ducks Unlimited Banquet will be held at Lehman High School on April 27 and the Lake Loramie Improvement Association will again be a sponsor this year. The banquet tickets will be raffled off at the next meeting, coming up Tuesdsay. Sparklin asked the membership about the purchase of a gas grill and toaster oven for the Fall Fest, as these items are borrowed from members each year. He will check prices and report at the next meeting. Don Schmitmeyer reported that the Loramie Valley Alliance will sample phosphates this year and Lake Loramie. It was noted that a determination will be needed on how the LLIA and LVA can work together on this project. The LVA
funding is way down. Julie Stueve reported that the association received $2,500 in Wildlife Funds this year designated to be used for: Coonskin Cap Brigade, $500 Kids Fishing Derby, $1,000; Passport to Fishing for the handicapped, $500; and Passport to Fishing for kids, $500. The club agreed to pay for water and cookies for the Kids Passport to Fishing, scheduled for July 12. Hiedie Gibson, assistant park manager, reported that reservations for the shelter house at Earl’s Island can now be made online or by calling (866) 644-6727; dates are filling up quickly.

FORT LORAMIE — The Fort Loramie Cheerleaders took a road trip to Columbus on March 3 to compete with Ohio’s best in the OASSA D-IV State Cheerleading Competition. By the end of the day, it was Fort Loramie who walked, or should we say tumbled, away with the 2013 Cheerleading State Championship title. Nine squads qualified from regional events held in February to perform in this elite competition held at St. John’s Arena. Other area squads participating at the state level included Marion Local, third place; St. Henry, seventh place; New Bremen, eighth place; and Minster, ninth place. Kalida received state runnerup honors. This is Fort Loramie’s fourth State Cheerleading Championship with others awarded in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Credit must be given to coach Bev Kauffman for three of these state titles, cheerleaders said. “Everything came together for us this year,” said Lindsey Hilgefort, senior cheerleader. “We had a strong group of cheerleaders returning and graduated only one senior last year.

Ohio Realtors oppose service sales tax The Ohio Association of Realtors Legislative Steering and Executive Committees voted unanimously to oppose the expansion of the sales tax base to services, including those involved in a real estate transaction. The 26,000-member Realtor Association will actively advocate the Ohio General Assembly to strongly oppose the imposition of a statewide 5 percent sales tax on real estate services, as it will increase the cost of housing and business throughout the state. According to a press release from the OAR, the real estate industry has played an integral role in the improvement within the Ohio economy since the onset of the economic challenges a few years ago, as increased home sales activity and rising average sales prices have helped
to establish a solid foundation for the state’s curand would-be rent property owners. Additionally, Ohio’s commercial real estate practitioners have helped Ohio businesses locate and grow in the state. The expansion of the sales tax to every service associated with a real estate transaction threatens a fragile, but critical sector of the economy and will place an unnecessary financial burden on Ohio’s property owners. The industry applauds Ohio lawmakers for solving the state’s financial woes two years ago, when an $8 billion budget deficit was filled without any tax increases. The resulting economic turnaround cannot be discounted. Realtors know firsthand the challenges
wrought by the recent economic downturn. Since the market’s peak in 2005, OAR’s membership base has declined by more than 9,000, activity in the state’s housing market has dropped by nearly 23 percent and the average price of homes sold has declined by nearly 14 percent. Recent gains in homes sold over the past two years and the modest uptick in pricing last year — while impressive — could be derailed by the imposition of a sales tax on every aspect of a housing purchase, including home inspections, apmortgages, praisers, radon inspections, titles, commissions and more. Further, a sales tax on commercial rent leases poses a threat to future economic development by unnecessarily adding to the cost of business operations in Ohio.
UVMC receives accreditation with commendation TROY — Upper Valley Medical Center’s Cancer Care program has received accreditation with commendation from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons. The accreditation, good for three years, was awarded following an extensive onsite evaluation. CoC accreditation ensures that patients will have access to comprehensive care; a multispecialty team approach
to coordinate treatment options; information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options; access to cancer-related information, education and support; a cancer registry collecting data on type and stages of cancers and treatment results and lifelong patient follow-up; ongoing monitoring of care; and quality care close to home. The newly expanded UVMC Cancer Care
Center and John J. Dugan Infusion Center opened in spring 2012. The expansion added 10 infusion individual rooms and gave the center its own first-level entry, a new reception area, family center, healing garden, multi-use therapy room and library where patients and their families can research materials offered in traditional hardback books, on DVDs/CDs or on Kindles.

Family Video announces fundraiser to fight lymphoma Family Video, the nation’s largest movie and game rental chain, with an outlet in Sidney, is taking a leading role in the fight against lymphoma. For the second year in a row, Family Video customers are invited to Round It Up for Lymphoma in stores between Friday and March 31. In 2012, the company raised $1 million toward lymphoma research. By simply rounding up transactions to the nearest dollar, Family Video customers will be donating toward one of two causes: the launch of a Lymphoma Tissue Bank at the University of Chicago Medicine, and general lymphoma re-
search at the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Tissue banks have allowed medical experts to discover new genes, as well as differing genetic profiles of lymphomas that look the same under a microscope. These differing genetic profiles explain why some patients are cured and some are not. “Lymphoma is a disease that has touched the lives of many of our employees and their loved ones. By starting this tissue bank, we will be able to better understand why lymphoma develops, and study how different environmental factors impact prognosis and treatment. Ultimately, the tissue bank
will help us make significant progress towards finding a cure,” said Keith Hoogland, Family Video president. “Our customers have shown their generosity about this cause in the past, and we are excited for our company to be able to play this role in the fight against lymphoma.” Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer in adults, and the third most common in children. More than 500,000 Americans are living with the disease in some form, and 200 more are diagnosed each day. Customers can participate at any Family Video location, or online at familyvideo.com.

Most grandparents are wise BPA members win Seattle, Wash. NAMELESS: Thanks for sharing your experience with our teen readers. Many grandmothers and grandfathers will get a big hug and an “I love you” today because of your letter. Most grandparents are very observant and wise. Even though you and your grandmother had your disagreements, deep down she knew you loved her, and she loved you. DR. WALLACE: A girl recently moved into our neighborhood and started attending our school. She invited a few of us girls to a slumber party next week to get acquainted. My best friend and I were both invited, and I was looking forward to going and to have the new girl as a friend because she seemed to be very nice. My friend Jan called me last night and told me she wasn’t going to the party. When I asked her why, she said that she heard that the new girl was involved in sex and drugs at her old school and had a bad reputation. Do you think this could be true? My friend and this new girl and I are all only 13 years old. I don’t know what to
do because I’m not that kind of girl, and I sure don’t want to ruin my reputation by going to her party. What do you think I should do? — Nameless, Tulsa, Okla. NAMELESS: Rumors have a way of being both vicious and unfair. Sometimes they are motivated by jealousy. I think you should plan on attending the party. It will be a good way for you to make up your own mind about the new girl. If for some reason you don’t feel comfortable with what is going on at the party, you can simply call your parents and have them take you home. Be sure to tell your parents that you may need a ride earlier than the expected time so you will be assured of your ride home. Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

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
GARAGE & DRIVE THRU
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.

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, March 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As this day wears on, your focus on money increases. However, wait until late in the afternoon to make important financial decisions or purchases. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) By evening, you will feel content and pleased with yourself. Early in the day, it’s all a bit up in the air, but no worries because things settle down, especially in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Because you are so high-viz lately, you’ll welcome the chance for some privacy today. Work alone or behind the scenes. Play your cards close to your chest. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Late in the day, conversations with a female acquaintance could be reassuring. You might have a better sense of your future goals and be glad about your direction in life. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Details about your personal life will be made public today, especially later in the day. (No question.) Therefore, be on guard and protect what you must. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Try to do something different today because you need a change of scenery. You want to break free of routine so that something stimulating or exciting can happen. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Although you might be focused on redtape details related to inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt, wait until late in the afternoon to make decisions regarding these matters. (You’ll be glad you did.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Later today, the Moon moves opposite your sign, which means you have to be tolerant and flexible. When dealing with others, be prepared to go more than halfway. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your desire to get better organized at work and at home will come to fruition later in the day. Just coast earlier in the day because, by late afternoon, you’ll swing into action! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a very creative day for you. It is fun-loving, flirtatious, playful and productive for the arts. Enjoy pleasant times with children. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a great day to entertain at home, especially this evening. Invite the gang over for pizza and beer. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You have a strong need to communicate to others today, because you want to enlighten someone about something. Just wait for the right moment, because it will appear. YOU BORN TODAY You’re sweet and affectionate, but you’re no fool. You value your independence and take many different avenues to get where you want to go. You’re open, accepting and tolerant. You’re also philosophical and often ponder how things relate to each other in the universe. In the year ahead, a major change might occur, perhaps something as significant as what took place around 2004.

I also recommend fruit of any kind to fruit juice.

DALLAS (AP) — An obese stray cat found wandering six months ago near Dallas has slimmed down to 34 pounds and been adopted by the veterinarian overseeing his care. Dr. Brittney Barton said Friday that the orange tabby dubbed Skinny is doing well on a special diet to help lose
weight and increase his metabolism. Barton says she became attached to the onetime 41-pound cat she was treating at an animal orphanage and last month he became part of her family. Skinny joins Barton’s husband, three children, a dog and another cat at her home.

Snyder resigns as Sidney boys coach BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@civitasmedia.com Calling it a family-based decision, Sidney High School’s Greg Snyder announced his resignation after three years as a head basketball coach, the last two as the boys coach. Snyder was the head girls Snyder basketball coach for a year before taking over the boys program when Tom Clark retired. His first boys team finished with a 3-18 record, and this past season’s squad was 3-20. Snyder said he made his decision with family in mind. “It’s mostly a family-based decision,” he said Monday. “I’m at a point in my life right now where I don’t want to give the time it takes to be a
head coach. I feel like I’ve missed a lot the last couple years. “It was excruciating making this decision,” he added. “It was very tough to tell the kids as well because I care about the kids, the program and the school. I still hope to work with the kids in some capacity, but it was just taking too much time for me. I want to be there for my (six-monthold) son growing up. He’s so darn fun and I don’t want to be away from him that much.” Snyder said he intends to remain with the Sidney school system. “I still have an interest in extra-curricular actitivies and working with kids,” he said. “That’s why I became a teacher. I don’t think this is the end of the road for me by any means. I’ve enjoyed very much working with the kids in the basketball program, I thought our crowds were al-
ways very supportive, and I have a great support system from Tom Clark and (athletic director) Jeff Courter. They’ve been great, as has the rest of the administration. I’m going to miss that relationship and I certainly thank them for everything they did for me.” Snyder coached two young and inexperienced teams at Sidney that went up against a gruelling schedule in the Greater Western Ohio Conference. Consequently, his teams didn’t win a lot of games, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t any fond memories. “There were certainly tough times,” said Snyder. “But I’m going to remember the good times. The games we did win, I feel like they were all special in their own way. But right at the top has to be the Troy game down there this season. We were down 15 and came back to win, and
Tyree Manley, who had just lost his mom, hit a couple free throws to win it at the end. Those are things you never forget.” Courter said he wasn’t surprised with Snyder’s decision, but was sorry to hear it. “He’ll definitely be missed,” Courter said. “I keep up with these guys all year long, watch their demeanor, especially when seasons are rough. So I’m not completely shocked. But we’re disapointed because Greg is such a great guy, he’s very organized, has the enthusiasm, and has great work ethic. “But a lot of things come into play,” Courter continued. “He’s a young dad, and there are a lot of stresses. People don’t understand. It’s not just November to March for a basketball coach. They have to get their summer program ready, worry about fall gym times, things like that. There
is so much involved in building a program from the bottom. People can’t understand what it is to be a coach unless they become one.” Courter was scheduled to meet with the administration this morning to talk about the coaching position. “I think we’re in a good situation as far as teaching openings,” he said. “We’ll see what happens in the next couple weeks as far as people retiring, and see what kind of positions open up. We want to find someone who wants to put in the time and also who wants to be here a while and build a program. That’s what we need.” He said he has no timeline. “We don’t want to rush it but we also don’t want to take our time,” Courter said. “We have a lot of good, young kids coming up and we want to give those kids the best we can.”
Blue Jays stop Tigers BY TONY ARNOLD KETTERING — Delphos St. John’s used a near perfect night from the free throw line to pull away from Jackson Center 62-53 in Division IV Regional boys basketball action Tuesday night at Trent Arena. The Blue Jays canned 22 of 26 from the line while the Tigers, who shot 70 percent from the line for the season, connected on 6-of-16 at the stripe. Jackson Center, who has tallied victories by the buckets the last few seasons, ends another impressive campaign with a 22-5 mark. The Jays move onto the regional final with a 20-5 record. “We did not want to put ourselves in position to where we were going to send them to the free throw line. (Curtis) Geise is over 80 percent and (Ryan) Buescher is near 80 percent and they are the two guys who handle the ball the majority of the time for them. So we knew it wasn’t going to be a good situation.

The Tiger tear was ignited on a nifty between the legs dribble move and pull-up jumper by senior Trey Elchert and capped off by seven straight points by senior Alex Meyer. Jackson led 14-11 heading into the second quarter. JC maintained their lead (16-13) when Meyer drained an 18-foot spinner. However, it was the Blue Jays responding with a 13-2 run to close out the half and construct a 26-18 advantage at halftime. The Tigers got all their scoring in the first half from a couple players. Meyer tossed in 14 before the break while Elchert added four. “We allowed their aggressiveness defensively to take us out of whack in the first half and we never really got into any kind of flow,” said Elchert. For most of the third quarter, the Blue Jays maintained a double-digit lead, including a 42-27 bulge late. However, a triple by Elchert late in the third trimmed the deficit to SDN Photo/Luke Gronneberg 42-30. “Most of those three’s are JACKSON CENTER’S Eric Ryder shoots over Ryan Buescher not coming off clean so their of Delphos St. John’s in regional semifinal action Tuesday.

I just feel that over the course of the game we didn’t get enough touches inside, especially in the first half. I felt like we needed to do a better job of establishing some kind of post game,” said Elchert. As expected, the Tigers put together a rally. A spin move and hoop by Meyer chopped the lead down to 44-34. Elchert dropped in a hoop and a few moments later added a triple and the deficit was down to 46-40. With Jackson knocking down big shots, DSJ continued to calmly sink free throws. A pair of charity tosses by Blue Jay standout Geise put Delphos back up by double digits at 50-40. The Tigers continued to keep things interesting and when freshman Drew Sosby dropped a trey with a little under two minutes remaining JC was within 53-46. A triple by Elchert and another by Meyer had the lead down to 57-52 with just under a minute remaining. Forced to win it at the free-throw line Delphos made good on its op-
portunities down the stretch, connecting on 5-of-6 in the closing minute to win the game. Jackson Center was led by a pair of seniors with strong efforts in their last game. Meyer tallied 28 points and Elchert tossed in 17. Geise poured in 37 for St. John’s. “The career that our seniors have had is just incredible when you look at everything they have accomplished over the course of four years now.

rived in Goodyear in late February. Throughout the winter I thought about what awaited. I remembered many of Marty’s great moments and seasons during four decades behind the microphone, including the amazing era of the fabled “Big Red Machine.� I also thought back to the Reds’ unlikely pennant winning season of 1961 when my dad and I would listen to games called by Waite Hoyt and Jack Moran. Claude Sullivan, Jim McIntyre, and Al Michaels followed Hoyt in the main chair before Marty arrived in 1974. I recall each vividly. The beloved “Old Lefthander� Joe Nuxhall worked with all the main voices after Hoyt until his death in 2007. Once we got to Goodyear we chose Sun-
day, March 3 as our date. Jeff Brantley would work with Marty, and I would observe during innings five and six at Goodyear Ballpark. The opponent would be the Kansas City Royals. While I knew I wouldn’t be there to help him call the game, I was reasonably sure I’d be included in some of the non-baseball banter during my visit. I enter the booth at the appropriate time. Marty welcomes me and introduces Brantley, the former Reds reliever. I’m seated behind Jeff and can make eye contact with Marty. I hand Marty a photo of former Gong Show legend “Gene Gene The Dancing Machine� and he immediately proclaims that it will become a fixture in the booth back in Cincinnati. Any regular Reds listener knows that Brennaman isn’t just about baseball. He often ventures elsewhere and “Gene Gene� is a favorite, especially on his April 25 birthday. The commercials are over and it’s time to go back on the air.
The Reds haven’t been playing well in early spring training games and this day is no exception. The Reds offense is dormant. Marty says he talked to manager Dusty Baker about this and that his players simply aren’t seeing the ball well. Consistent with this part of spring training, there are many midgame lineup changes and the duo provides these along with some detail from media guides and game notes. Marty and Jeff agree that catcher Devin Mesoraco is looking good in his bid to stay with the big club. During the break between the fifth and sixth innings Marty and Jeff share some input from Reds coaches that is insightful but can’t go out over the air. It will also not appear here. At all times I sense a solid chemistry in the booth that also includes engineer Dave “Yiddy� Armbruster. Over the course of the season many announcer combos will work Reds radio, with the Hall of Famer working a solid majority of the total season.
The sixth inning begins and the game is moving slowly. Marty decides it’s time to reveal my presence and also acknowledge “Gene Gene� which prompts Brantley to do his own impromptu version of Gene’s dance. Brennaman feeds me a couple of Gong Show lines for my background response. Marty mentions our friendship and my regular presence at spring training, which I appreciate. The sixth finally ends, sending Marty on break as Jeff will solo the seventh. Marty and I exit the booth together as I express my appreciation. As we part company he invites me to return in future years at the start of spring training. “Let’s make this annual,� he says. “Let’s count on it,� is my response. Franchester Martin Brennaman turns 71 on July 28 . He sounds like he will keep doing this for awhile. I hope so. Thanks Marty. —— Dave Ross is a frequent contributor to the Sidney Daily News and has been a spring training regular since 1991.

Cayla Bensman was nothing short of amazing in the regional, averaging 24.5 in the two games. She leads the Lady
Rockets into Thursday’s game against an Orrville team that has an amazing scorer in 5-foot-7 guard Hannah Plybon, who will play at Akron next year.
Plybon has scored over 2,000 points in her career, and had 42 in the regional final. Behind her play, Orrville is averaging a little over 70 points a game. “We’ve got some other girls that score and do other things well, too,� said Orrville coach Mark Alberts. “It’s a veteran group. All five started last year when we lost in the district finals. “We played Anna over the summer,� he continued. “They are a great team and we’re going to have our hands full. They play with a lot of confidence at both ends of the floor. We’ve known for quite some time that if we made it, that’s probably who we were going to play. Anna was the favorite in our mind.� Both Orrville losses were to West Holmes, which is playing in the Division II state tournament. Alberts is in the midst of a coaching career that has spanned 38 years. This is his sixth at Orrville. In addition to Plybon, Orrville has Megan Devault, who is just 10 points away from 1,000
for her career. And Alberts said at just 5-4, she is an outstanding rebounder. Bri Adcock is 5-9 and averaging 10 per game, and Shamiya Sims is 511 and averages seven rebounds per ame. Abby Reeser is the fifth starter and is the best defensive player on the team, says Alberts. “They’re very wellcoached,� said Anna coach Jack Billing of Orrville. “We have a lot of respect for their program. They play hard and are very disciplined. We’ll have to bring our A game.� Billing likes how his team is playing. “We’re playing our best basketball right now,� Billing said. “We’re getting our kids back healthy and we’re putting eight or nine girls out there. At this point, we’re playing some pretty good basketball. “We’re going to try to get into transition and get some easy baskets, “ he said. “I always tell the kids, I don’t know everything, but I know who’s going to win — the team that scores the most points.�

Browns sign Ravens’ LB Kruger CLEVELAND (AP) — Paul Kruger rushed his way to a Super Bowl win, and on to a huge payday. Baltimore’s sacks leader last season agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract with the Cleveland Browns, who with their first move in free agency added a proven pass rusher and weakened the defending NFL champions. Kruger, a linebacker, will sign a five-year deal with the Browns, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press. The 27year-old Kruger is expected to finalize the deal and be introduced in the next few days, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the signing has not yet been officially announced by the Browns. ESPN first reported Kruger’s deal, which is worth around $40 million. Entering free agency with over $47 million in salary-cap space, Browns CEO Joe Banner and general manager Mike Lombardi wasted time landing little Kruger, considered one of the top outside rushers in this year’s freeagent class. He had 13½ sacks last season — 4½ in the playoffs —and will strengthen a young Cleveland defense transitioning from a 4-3 defensive scheme to a 3-4 multi-front formation under new coordinator Ray Horton. Kruger’s signing sup-

BALTIMORE RAVENS outside linebacker Paul Kruger (99) looks up after sacking Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck during the second half of an NFL wild card playoff football game in Baltimore. The Cleveland Browns reached agreement on Tuesday with Kruger, who led the Ravens in sacks last season. ports new Browns owner Jimmy Haslam’s pledge to turn around a franchise that has lost at least 11 games in each of the past five seasons and made the playoffs once since 1999. And now that they’ve addressed one of their biggest needs, the Browns may target a tight end, cornerback and perhaps a quarterback in free agency to bring in as competition for Brandon Weeden. During the three-day negotiating window, the club reportedly talked to agents for players at all three positions, but with teams releasing players in the early hours of free agency, the market has
already changed. It’s not known if the Browns have had any contact with the representatives for Pro Bowl kicker Phil Dawson or return specialist Josh Cribbs, the club’s two longest tenured players. Dawson, who has spent 14 seasons with Cleveland, left in December thinking his days with the Browns were over. Cribbs has reportedly drawn interest from several teams including the Arizona Cardinals. Kruger had a breakout season for the Ravens in 2012. After getting nine sacks during the regular season, he was a disruptive force in the postsea-
son and twice sacked San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the Super Bowl as Baltimore held off the 49ers to win the title. It was a fitting finish for the 6-foot-4, 270pounder, who started a career-high five games after starting just one in his first three NFL seasons. Drafted in the second round (No. 57 overall) in 2009 from Utah, Kruger, who was a quarterback in high school, was slow to develop and initially found it difficult to get playing time on a starstudded Ravens team with talented linebackers and pass rushers. However, with line-
backer Terrell Suggs sidelined last season with a torn Achilles tendon, Kruger got a chance to play more and became the team’s most efficient rusher. He made $615,000 last season, the final one of his original deal with Baltimore. In getting Kruger, the Browns are not only hoping to bolster their defense but take another piece away from the Ravens, who are undergoing a massive makeover after signing quarterback Joe Flacco to a new contract. Baltimore traded wide receiver Anquan Boldin to San Francisco, and the AFC North champs also reportedly lost inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbee in free agency to Miami. Perennial Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed could be next. Kruger recorded 69 tackles and 15½ sacks in 51 games for the Ravens. He joined them with a tough-guy reputation after he survived being stabbed by a gang member in Utah while hosting his younger brother on a recruiting visit. Kruger suffered a collapsed lung and punctured artery in the attack. He overcame a back injury last season, when he had just 1½ sacks in Baltimore’s first seven games. But Kruger picked it up and had sacks in five straight games — tying the franchise record — beginning with two against Oakland Nov. 11.
Bengals keep Gilberry, Geathers CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals have signed ends Wallace Gilberry and Robert Geathers to contract extensions, showing how much they value their defensive line. Gilberry was signed as a free agent last September and finished third on the team with 6½ sacks. He also recovered three fumbles and returned one for a touchdown, becoming an integral part of Cincinnati's rotation on the line. Geathers has spent all of his nine seasons in Cincinnati, making him the longest-tenured Bengal. He had 3½ sacks. Earlier this month, the Bengals used their franchise tag on end Michael Johnson, who had 11½ sacks last season. Johnson will be paid more than $11 million this season if he doesn't reach a long-term deal. The line was the strength of a defense that ranked sixth in the NFL. The Bengals also resigned placekicker Mike Nugent for two years, preventing him from becoming a free agent. A nine-year veteran, Nugent has been with the Bengals for three seasons. A calf injury kept him out of the team’s last four games of 2012 and its playoff loss to Houston. In 2011, Nugent set a Bengals records for points with 132 and field goals with 33 in one season.

KERRON JOHNSON, BELMONT The Bruins’ senior point guard sent the OVC title game into overtime with a short jumper with nine seconds remaining and then shot the Bruins into the NCAA Tournament with a 10-foot pull-up jumper with 1.2 left in OT to give Belmont a 70–68 win over Murray State. Johnson, who chose Belmont over Murray State coming out of high school in Alabama, ended the game with 12 points and six assists.

WILL CLYBURN, IOWA STATE Clyburn scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in Iowa State’s 83–74 win over West Virginia in Morgantown. A senior transfer from Utah, Clyburn converted 9-of-10 free throws in the final 1:30 to help the Cyclones secure a much-needed road win. Iowa State heads into the Big 12 Tournament with an overall record of 21–10 and a 11–7 mark in league play. CHAZ WILLIAMS, MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts kept alive its slim NCAA Tournament hopes with a 75–66 win at Rhode Island. Williams, a 5'9" junior point guard, led the way for the Minutemen with 20 points and 10 rebounds. It was his sixth game of the season with at least 10 assists. CODY ZELLER, INDIANA Zeller scored 25 points and added 10 rebounds in Indiana’s thrilling 72–71 victory at Michigan Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers rallied from five points down in the final minute to complete the season sweep of Michigan and secure the outright Big Ten title. Zeller scored the game’s decisive basket, a layup with 13 seconds remaining that gave IU the lead for good. DERRICK MARKS, BOISE STATE Boise State solidified its NCAA Tournament résumé with a 69–65 win over San Diego State. Marks scored a game-high 27 points, including 22 in the first half, and added nine rebounds and six assists for the surprising Broncos. Boise State closed out its second season in the Mountain West with a 9–7 record. PIERRE JACKSON, BAYLOR It’s been a disappointing season for Baylor, but the Bears closed out the regular season on a high note. Jackson, a senior point guard, scored 28 points (on 11-of-13 shooting) and handed out 10 assists to lead Baylor to an 81–58 win over Big 12 bully Kansas. The Bears (RPI 61) will need to pick up at east one quality win in this week’s Big 12 Tournament to put themselves on the right side of the NCAA bubble. TREVOR RELEFORD, ALABAMA Releford swished a half-court shot as the buzzer sounded to give Alabama a 60–58 win over Georgia in Tuscaloosa. The victory improved the Crimson Tide to 20–11 overall and 12–6 in the SEC. But with an RPI of 60 and several bad losses on the ledger, Alabama likely will need to win at least two games in the SEC Tournament to earn an invite to the NCAA Tournament. BROCK MOTUM, WASHINGTON STATE Washington State closed out a difficult regular season with consecutive wins over UCLA and USC. Motum, the Cougars’ unheralded big man, scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the win over UCLA and then had 31 and 10 in Saturday’s 76–51 victory over USC. MASON PLUMLEE, DUKE Plumlee dominated the paint with 23 points and 13 rebounds to help Duke complete the season sweep over rival North Carolina with a 69–53 win in Chapel Hill. The Blue Devils finished second to Miami in the ACC but likely will be a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. KENNY KADJI, MIAMI It was a grand senior night for Kadji, who scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to help Miami clinch the outright ACC championship with a 62–49 win over Clemson. Kadji, who began his career at Florida, hit 4-of-6 from 3point range and 7-of-9 from the foul line en route to his third straight double-double.

JOE JACKSON, MEMPHIS Jackson came one rebound shy of a triple-double as Memphis closed out an undefeated Conference USA season with an 86–71 win over UAB. The junior point guard scored 17 points and added nine rebounds, 10 assists and six steals to lead the Tigers to their 27th win.
Zags win WCC Tournament for 11th time since 1999. Does a No. 1 seed await? Blue Devils could be the No. 1 overall seed in NCAAs despite not winning ACC. Hoosiers capitalize on Michigan’s missed FTs to earn hard-fought win. Hoyas outscore Syracuse by a combined 33 points en route to season sweep. Only one of the Cards’ last seven opponents has scored more than 60 points. Wolverines will have trouble getting past the collapse against Indiana. Here’s a surprise: Hurricanes win ACC title in hoops before football. KU loses at Baylor — must “settle” for a share of ninth straight Big 12 title. Spartans win final two games of season to finish one game back in Big Ten. Buckeyes head to Big Ten Tournament riding a five-game winning streak. Gators slog through final 10 with 6-4 record after 8-0 start in SEC play. Eagles share Big East title thanks to Vander Blue’s game-winner at MSG. Pokes close out regular season in style with a win over Kansas State. Kansas State earns a share of Big 12 title — its first league crown since 1977. Lobos ranked No. 2 in the RPI even after closing season with a loss to Air Force. VCU’s loss to Temple gives Saint Louis the outright Atlantic 10 title. Nice bounce-back season from Pitt; Panthers finish fourth in Big East. Bruins’ first win at UW since 2004 earns them the outright Pac-12 title. Defensive issues could keep Irish from being much of a threat in postseason. Wildcats stop the bleeding — two straight losses — by beating Arizona State. One bad showing vs. Duke doesn’t ruin Heels’ late-season surge. Badgers avoid disaster by beating Penn State on a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Arch Madness ends with Creighton cutting down the nets. Larry Eustachy on verge of second NCAA bid in two seasons with two different teams. Rams’ frenetic defense is tough to prepare for in a tournament setting. *Records and rankings are as of March 11
Vander Blue, Marquette
Athlon Sports’ Tournament Previews
Mountain West Tournament Favorite — New Mexico The Lobos won the regular-season title by two full games, an impressive feat considering that five of the nine teams in the league are expected to make the NCAA Tournament. Dark horse — Boise State The Broncos are playing their best ball of the season, with wins in five of their last six games. They are well-coached and have two outstanding scorers — Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks. Predicted winner — UNLV New Mexico had the best team during the regular season, but UNLV is blessed with the most talented roster. The Rebels also have the advantage of playing the tournament on their home floor.
ACC Tournament Favorite — Duke The Blue Devils did not win the ACC regularseason title, but Duke looks like the best team in the league at this point of the season. Ryan Kelly’s return to the lineup has made the Blue Devils much more difficult to guard, and the senior forward also adds a presence on defense. Dark horse — Florida State Florida State has been a disappointment this season, but this is still a talented team with some strong veteran leadership. The Seminoles evened their league record at 9–9 by beating Virginia and NC State in the final week of the season. Prediction — Miami Don’t forget about the Hurricanes, the 2013 ACC regular-season champs. Just two weeks ago, Miami lost at Duke by only three points even though starting center Reggie Johnson failed to score a point. This is a very good team. Big 12 Tournament Favorite — Kansas Kansas has stubbed its toe on several occasions this season, but Bill Self’s club still managed to grab a share of the Big 12 title for the ninth straight season. Dark horse — Baylor Despite its 9–9 Big 12 record, Baylor might have the league’s most talented roster. The Bears showed what they are capable of on Saturday, rolling past Kansas 81–58 in the regular-season finale in Waco. Predicted winner — Kansas Oklahoma State and Kansas State are both very good, but Kansas is a veteran team — the Jayhawks start four seniors — that will be playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Big East Tournament Favorite — Georgetown The Hoyas, led by likely first-team All-American Otto Porter, won 13 of their final 14 games — capped off by Saturday’s 61–39 win over rival Syracuse. Georgetown’s prowess on defense will make it hard to beat at Madison Square Garden. Dark horse — Villanova Any team that can claim wins over Louisville, Syracuse, Marquette and Georgetown has to be considered a threat to win the Big East Tournament. A word of caution: Most of the Wildcats’ impressive wins this season have come at home.

Peyton Siva and Louisville head to the Big East Tournament playing as well as any team in the nation. The Cardinals are the No. 2 seed.
Predicted winner — Louisville The Cardinals have rebounded from their puzzling late-January three-game slide. Louisville has won 10 of its last 11 games, with the only setback coming at Notre Dame in five overtimes. Big Ten Tournament Favorite — Indiana The Hoosiers captured the outright Big Ten title in thrilling fashion, rallying to beat Michigan in Ann Arbor on the final day of the regular season. Dark horse — Illinois Illinois is capable of making a surprising run to the Big Ten title if it shoots the ball well from the perimeter. Don’t forget: This team won three games in three days in Maui back in November. Also, Illini coach John Groce did very well in tournament play during his time at Ohio. Predicted winner — Michigan State There are so many good teams in this league. All things being equal, you can never go wrong picking a Tom Izzo-coached team to win in March.
Braden Gall 63-27

Memphis Akron UNLV Butler Louisville Arizona Kansas Miami Florida Indiana
Pac-12 Tournament Favorite — UCLA It hasn’t been the smoothest ride, but UCLA captured the outright Pac-12 title with a 13–5 record. The Bruins have a ton of talent, even if it hasn’t been the most cohesive group in the league. Dark horse — USC The Trojans played well after Bob Cantu took over for Kevin O’Neill on an interim basis in late January. They have wins over UCLA and Stanford on the road and Washington and Arizona at home. Predicted winner — California The Golden Bears ended the season on a down note — a home loss to rival Stanford — but had previously won seven straight games. Guard Allen Crabbe is capable of carrying his team to the title. SEC Tournament Favorite — Florida Florida stumbled down the stretch on the road in league play, but the Gators were clearly the best team in the league all season long. Dark horse — Tennessee Any team with Jordan McRae, Trae Golden and Jarnell Stokes is capable of winning four games in four days. The Vols have won eight of nine, and probably need to win two more to secure an atlarge invite to the NCAA Tournament. Predicted winner — Florida It’s always dangerous to pick against Kentucky — which will have the majority of the fan support in Nashville — at the SEC Tournament, but the Wildcats simply do not have the talent right now. Florida does, and should win its first SEC Tournament since 2007.

Local fish fries attract crowds during Lent BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@civitasmedia.com A half ton of fish. That’s a conservative estimate of the amount that’s served some Fridays during Lent at four fish fries in Sidney. Whether it’s at the Knights of Columbus, American Legion, AMVETS, all on Fourth Avenue, or the Veterans of Foreign Wars on County Road 25A, the combined total of fish served is at least 1,000 pounds. These organizations also hold fish fries at other times of the year, but it’s during Lent — a time when Catholics are asked to abstain from eating meat on Fridays — when their deep fryers get the greatest use. Ken Copella, of the Knights of Columbus in Sidney, said the K of C’s fish fry “goes back to 1991 or ’92.” The K of C holds fish fries every Friday evening during Lent, as well as the second Friday of each month during the rest of the year. “Business is always stronger during Lent,” said Copella.

and they had it then,” said Tom Kinninger, post commander. The VFW holds fish fries the first Friday of the month throughout the year and most Fridays during Lent. Chicken dinners are served on the third Friday. “During Lent, we sell about 350 to 500 dinners, depending on the weather,” Kinninger said. “The weather is so important.”
— an eight-piece shrimp dinner. “I think people get tired of fish every Friday,” Kinninger said. Shrimp dinners are available in the canteen only. “We take the shrimp orders one at a time.” “We probably have 25 to 35 volunteers,” Kinninger said. “We’ve even had some volunteers make deliveries up to Honda.” These involve large orders.
400 pounds of fish
Biggest fundraiser
At about a pound of fish per dinner, Kinninger figures the post fries an average of 400 pounds of fish on Friday nights during Lent. Workers at the post’s drive-thru are kept busy. “We move probably move more than half our chicken dinners through the drivethru and probably a third in fish,” Kinninger said. The post is offering an alternative seafood this year
Collectively, because the post has so many fish and chicken fries throughout the year, “it’s our biggest dollar fundraiser,” Kinninger said. The post has many repeat customers and large families that come to the fish fries. “There’s a lot of tradition. There are children that come in, too,” Kinninger said. “We sell a lot of fish on Friday night,” said Deb Phelps, canteen manager at the American Legion in Sidney. The Legion holds fish fries the third Friday of every month, but has fish available every day in its canteen. Even when the Legion holds steak fries, it sometimes sells more fish than steak, Phelps said. “We sell a ton of it at lunch,” she said.

PEOPLE GO down the food line at the Sidney Knights of Columbus fish fry on a recent Friday.
During Lent, the demand for fish increases. “We definitely order a lot more fish and have it available,” Phelps said. An estimate of how many pounds of fish the Legion moves on a typical Lenten Friday wasn’t available. The other veterans organization on Fourth Avenue, the AMVETS, offers a fish and chicken fry every Friday night. Representatives of the AMVETS could not be reached for further information about their meals.

The town of Brownhelm, in Lorain County, likely elected the first black man to public office in the United States. The year was 1855, and the man elected township clerk was John Mercer Langston. It was one of many accomplishments in Langston’s lifetime battle against slavery and for racial equality. The child of white plantation owner Ralph Quarles and freed black slave Lucy Langston, John Mercer Langston was born in Virginia in 1829. When both parents died in 1834, the boy and his three older siblings received a large inheritance that would allow John Mercer to enroll at Ohio’s Oberlin College at age 14. Early on, he excelled at debate, and in 1848, when he was 19, he spoke at the National Black Convention in Cleveland to condemn those who would not help fugitive slaves. Because Ohio law did not allow blacks to be attorneys, Langston was denied admission to law school. Instead, he learned the law under attorney Philemon Bliss in Elyria. In 1854, he was accepted to the Ohio bar when the examiners decided he was white. Langston enjoyed a long, successful career as an Ohio lawyer, with mainly white clients. He organized antislavery societies at the state and national levels and helped runaway slaves along Ohio’s Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, he recruited black soldiers for the Union Army. After the war, he served as a city councilman in Oberlin, and traveled the Midwest giving speeches in support of voting rights for black men. In 1868, he organized the law department at Howard University in Washington, D.C., and in the late 1870s was named ambassador to the island nation of Haiti. In 1888, he became the first African American elected to the U.S. Congress from Virginia. His victory was contested, and it was 18 months before he could take his seat in the House of Representatives. He was defeated in the next election. Langston wrote his autobiography, From the Virginia Plantation to the National Capital, in 1894, and died in Washington in 1897. The town of Langston, Okla., is named after him.

Words to Know: inheritance excelled fugitive contested autobiography For Discussion: 1. John Mercer Langston was the first black American elected official. What elected position did he hold in Brownhelm, Ohio? 2. Why was Langston denied admission to law school? What finally allowed him to become a lawyer? Why could the examining committee make this decision? 3. Name two things Langston did to fight slavery. 4. Langston was a very successful lawyer, with mainly white clients. Can you name a reason he didn’t have many black clients in the 1850s and ’60s? 5. The people of Virginia also elected Langston. To what government body did they elect him?
