Council OKs sidewalk work in Precinct 2B

BY TOM BARNETT tbarnett@sdnccg.con Sidney City Council Monday night adopted a resolution of necessity to proceed with sidewalk improvements during 2012, also tabling a similar resolution for street lighting assessments until its March 26 meeting.

Public Works director Chris Clark told council the sidewalk repair resolution of necessity is the first of many required steps in the repair or reconstruction of sidewalks in 2012.

This year’s area of concern includes the city’s Precinct 2B, bounded by Russell Road to the north, Jefferson Street to

the south, Broadway Avenue, east; and west to Wapakoneta Avenue.

Notice will be sent property owners to construct or repair sidewalks and the city will complete the work if walks are not repaired within 90 days by property owners. After assessments are itemized, property owners will be required to either pay or have the cost assessed to property taxes.

In separate resolutions, council appointed Russ Goettemoeller to the city’s Airport Advisory Board and reappointed Mary Jannides to the Recreation Board.

The Recreation board serves to recommend recreation programs and park im-

provements, also setting policy for park and recreation facility use. Jannides has been a board member since 1972.

The Airport Advisory board advises council on the operation of Sidney Municipal Airport and its rules and regulations.

During council comments Monday night Fire Chief Brad Jones was congratulated for paramedics’ swift response to a recent auto accident that injured a Lehman High School youth. Jones confirmed the department’s response from 911 call to Wilson Hospital was under 14 minutes.

Council members Mardie Milligan and Rick Sims did not attend Monday’s meeting.

A longtime member of the Sidney Recreation Board has resigned.

City Parks and Recreation Director Duane anGaier nounced the resignation of Jerry “ J a w s ” Knoop.

Knoop “Jerry has been a fixture at Rec Board meetings for more than 30 years,” Gaier said. “He has provided guidance and support with many projects and acquisitions during that time frame.”

Gaier listed the following recreation board projects completed during Knoop’s years with the board: Acquisition and development of Chief O’ Leary, Plumb Ridge, Robert O. New and Julia Lamb parks, development of the Flanagan Sports Complex, Lodge soccer fields at Bumgardner Basin, Davis and Stolle Bridge installations and Veterans Memorial Walkway.

Gaier also listed the expansion of Custerborder Field, municipal pool water slide installation and development of canal feeder trails and Brookside Park.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my 30 plus years serving on the Recreation Board,” Knoop said in his letter of resignation. “As I look back at all the things we’ve made happen to the park system it make me feel warm inside! I am very proud to have helped Sidney stay as great as it is and I See KNOOP/Page 10A

He was considered a special assistant to the president of the United States. He was called an advance man; the one who went before the president and made sure everything was properly set in place when the president went anywhere.

Lawmaker indicted, resigns

Ohio signs exceed federal rules COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Department of Transportation says signs exceed federal requirements along a Toledoarea interstate system that’s seen three wrongway crashes since the start of March.

A spokeswoman says federal standards require each ramp to have one each of do-not-enter, wrong-way and one-way signs. The state has two of each sign wherever possible, with arrows and other pavement markings on some ramps.

The department is working with police to determine where recent wrong-way drivers entered Interstate 75 and will review for possible changes such as flashing signs, webcams or message boards.

A Monday wrong-way crash on I-75 killed two Michigan men about 15 miles from where a March 2 crash killed four.

Another wrong-way driver was arrested last week.

State numbers show 32 wrong-way crashes caused five deaths in Ohio last year.

Man to plead guilty CLEVELAND (AP) — An Ohio man has agreed to plead guilty to defrauding fellow Amish in 29 states out of nearly $17 million, the government said Tuesday.

The attorney for Monroe L. Beachy, 77, owner of A&M Investments in Sugarcreek, filed a recent notice informing federal court of Beachy’s “intention to plead guilty as charged,” and spokesman Mike Tobin with the U.S. attorney’s office confirmed the pending guilty plea.

U.S. District Court Judge Benita Pearson has changed Thursday’s pretrial hearing in Youngstown to a change of plea hearing.

Beachy declined to comment when asked Tuesday whether he had struck a plea bargain or why he was changing his plea. His attorney didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.

MEREDITH MARTIN, owner of the new Sunbear Studios and Gallery in Alexandria, stand in front of her business Feb. 20. Martin said she moved her recently opened Sunbear Studio & Gallery to Alexandria from Delaware County because of the Licking County village’s small-town charm and great location.

Village hopes to shed speed trap reputation ALEXANDRIA (AP) — Meredith Martin likes to use the word renaissance.

Martin said she moved her recently opened Sunbear Studio & Gallery to Alexandria from Delaware County because of the Licking County village’s small-town charm and great location near affluent communities.

Having an art gallery on Main Street has residents buzzing with the hope that the village of about 500 people is on the cusp of an economic resurgence.

Located on Ohio 37 in the middle of a triangle formed by New Albany, Granville and Johnstown, the town has long been seen as a passthrough for people traveling elsewhere. Worse, a history of aggressive traffic enforcement on the nearly mile-long stretch of the state route that doubles as the village’s Main Street has given Alexandria a reputation as a speed trap.

As recently as 2008, village police officers wrote 872 tickets, bringing in nearly $70,000 in fines. Those days are gone, said Dan Bunting, the village marshal, who has worked to change the image of village law enforcement.

“It used to be that the police department scared people away,” Bunting said. “My way of policing is more inviting. I’m still fighting crime, but I’m also trying to build relationships.”

As a village resident, Bunting said, he joined the police force about a year ago to help give back to the community. When he became its sole officer last year, he asked the Village Council to change the name of the office to marshal to reflect the more laid-back approach to policing he had seen as

an officer in Colorado.

The approach is winning respect from village business owners, who say the town’s old reputation was a detriment to attracting customers.

Stacie Smith, one of the three owners of the Village Spa, said Bunting’s focus on community policing is more in line with what a “quaint little village” such as Alexandria needs.

Smith opened the spa with business partners Wendi Zigo and Jenny Sue Bilderback about three years ago. She said the spa and the recently opened art gallery across the street have rekindled a climate of small-town destination shopping that they think will continue to grow.

With a coffee shop now planned for the small gray house next to the gallery, Smith said, village residents are starting to think the town could become a place that people drive to instead of drive past.

For that to happen, however, the village needs a clear direction of where it wants to go, said Brittany O’Brien, a member of the village planning commission.

The commission is one member short, and the town lacks a zoning inspector. Newly elected Mayor Stan Robinson hopes the Village Council will address both issues soon.

Robinson, who has criticized the way the village was run, said his goal is to keep the village government focused on essential services. One of his first acts as mayor was to abolish the mayor’s court, which he said contributed to the perception that the town is a speed trap.

He said businesses such as the art gallery and coffee shop are a per-

fect fit for the village, and his hope is that officials can encourage managed growth while not creating too many hurdles to opening businesses.

“I want to keep it easy,” Robinson said. “I think government should be kept small.”

Martin worked for almost two years renovating the more-than-century-old building at 3 W. Main St. before the gallery opened in November. She credited Alexandria officials with keeping the process as smooth as possible.

The gallery offers studio space for artists and will host art classes, she said. “My vision is for it to be a center for people interested in the arts. We want to appeal to people making art, buying art and appreciating art.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is expected to release details Wednesday of a plan that would deliver modest income-tax cuts to Ohioans in two or three years by raising taxes on drilling for oil and natural gas liquids.

The tax plan will save Ohio taxpayers a combined $500 million a year by 2016, according to a source close to the administration with knowledge of the proposal. The source requested anonymity because the information had not yet been released.

Kasich, a Republican, also plans to propose education policy changes that include better aligning college and vocational courses and state workforce development programs to meet job opportunities, and authorizing Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson’s proposal to overhaul public education in the northeast Ohio city.

Additional legislation would continue overhauling of the state Medicaid program; propose a “very austere” state construction budget containing no new community projects; and cut or revamp a series of agency programs that his Cabinet directors identified was wasteful or redundant.

During his 2010 gubernatorial campaign, Kasich pledged to phase out Ohio’s income tax over time.

His sweeping second-

year energy agenda begins the process by hiking the severance tax of 4 percent on oil and natural gas liquids extracted from under the state and setting aside the proceeds for income-tax relief. Tax benefits would grow as the fund did, the source said.

The severance tax on natural gas would remain at 1 percent.

The new tax rate for resources obtained through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, falls above current Ohio rates of 2.5 cents per 1,000 feet of natural gas and 10 cents per barrel of oil. But the rate keeps Ohio competitive by coming in under the 5 percent levied in West Virginia, and the 7 percent charged in Texas and Michigan.

Neighboring Pennsylvania, which has no severance tax, recently passed legislation requiring companies drilling in the Marcellus Shale region to pay an “impact fee” to help fund various state and local government programs — but retaining an effective tax rate that’s well below what many other major natural-gas producing states require.

Kasich initially expressed public support for such impact fees in Ohio.

However, the source said hiking severance taxes and cutting income taxes statewide was deemed to have a broader potential impact on Ohio’s struggling economy.

COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio state lawmaker resigned and surrendered to authorities Tuesday after being indicted on charges of bribery, election falsification and filing a false ethics statement.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said he believes the felony bribery charge handed down against state Rep. W. Carlton Weddington, of Columbus, is the first of its kind against a state lawmaker since 1912.

O’Brien and FBI agent Edward Hanko said charges against the second-term Democrat refrom an sulted undercover operation.

The FBI set up a phony business entity, whose name authorities declined to divulge, that sent Weddington on allexpenses-paid trips last year worth $16,000 to South Beach, Miami, and California’s Napa Valley, and gave him additional cash and campaign contributions. O’Brien said the trips were three or four days each.

NATION/WORLD BRIEFLY

Flights suspended NEW YORK (AP) — Charter airline Direct Air has suspended flights for at least two months, leaving passengers scrambling to get home and wondering if they’ll get their money back.

The airline abruptly stopped flying Monday afternoon — at the peak of the spring break travel season — apparently because it couldn’t pay its fuel bills. Direct Air, based in Myrtle Beach, S.C., says it will not fly again until May 15. Ticket holders were told to contact their credit card companies for refunds.

Public charter airlines like Direct Air don’t operate under the same consumer protection rules as regularly scheduled airlines like United or American. Prices and schedules, for example, are not always guaranteed. And travelers don’t have as much recourse in getting refunds or rescheduling flights.

Rivals split votes WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santorum took a slight edge Tuesday among Alabama’s huge bloc of white born-again or evangelical Christians, while the three chief rivals for the Republican presidential nomination were splitting that same crucial group in Mississippi, according to early results of exit polls of both states’ voters.

White born-again Christians accounted for 8 in 10 Alabamans going to the polls, the most in any state this year where voters have been surveyed. Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who has emphasized the pivotal role Catholicism has played in his life, was winning more than a third of those voters, several percentage points

ahead of both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.

Such voters also comprised nearly 3 in 4 in Mississippi, a figure unsurpassed by any previous state to vote. Santorum, Romney and Gingrich each had around one-third of their votes.

Santorum and Gingrich, the former House speaker, were leading among the most conservative voters in both Deep South states. Romney, the one-time Massachusetts governor, was doing well among each state’s more moderate voters and those who are not born-again Christians.

The three contenders were also running closely in Alabama and Mississippi among people without college degrees.

That characteristic is widely used to measure bluecollar voters, a constituency that the GOP must dominate in the general election to offset Democratic advantages with other groups. Nearly 6 in 10 in both states lacked degrees, ranking both at the top in that category among states that have voted so far.

Santorum was running evenly with Gingrich in Alabama when voters were asked which candidate best understood the problems of typical Americans, an attempt to measure the empathy that voters see in the contenders.

In Mississippi, Gingrich was ahead with that group.

As with every state so far, the largest group of voters in Alabama and Mississippi se-

Deaths barred in village ROME (AP) — Since the start of the month it has been illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Naples in southern Italy.

Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-incheek decree because the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one — creating a logistical problem about what to do with the deceased.

The mayor told newspapers that villagers are content.

“The ordinance has brought happiness,” he was quoted Tuesday as saying.

“Unfortunately, two elderly citizens disobeyed.”

OUT OF THE BLUE

Toto’s not the top dog TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — There may be no place like home, but don’t tell Toto.

A Kansas House committee squashed a bid Monday to make the cairn terrier, a breed perhaps best known as that of Dorothy’s canine sidekick in “The Wizard of Oz,” the state’s official dog.

Democratic state Rep. Ed Trimmer told the Wichita Eagle he plans to reintroduce the bill next year. And Brenda Moore, a South Central Kansas Kennel Club official who first proposed the idea, says she plans to drum up public support for it this summer.

lected the economy as the issue that mattered most.

Romney had a slight advantage among voters focused on the economy in Alabama, while the three contenders divided such voters in Mississippi about evenly.

Romney, the wealthy former private equity executive, has made repairing the economy a top focus of his campaign and has prevailed among voters concerned about that issue in most states so far in 2012.

Tuesday’s exit polls showed Alabama and Mississippi to be among the more conservative states to vote this year.

Gingrich and Santorum were sharing a lead among both state’s most conservative voters.

Ally-on-ally killings muddy path for U.S. pullout

Doobie drummer dies DUBOIS, Wyo. (AP) — Longtime Doobie Brothers drummer Michael Hossack, whose work is heard on the hits “Listen To The Music” and “China Grove,” died of cancer at age 65, his manager said Tuesday.

Hossack died Monday at his home in Dubois, Wyo., manager Bruce Cohn said in a statement Hossack played with the group from 1971 to 1973 and rejoined in 1987.

He stopped performing with the band two years ago while struggling with his health, “Mike has always been a part of my musical life and the life of the Doobie Brothers,” said band cofounder Tom Johnston.

AFGHAN VILLAGERS pray during a prayer ceremony for victims of Sunday’s killing of civilians by a U.S. soldier in Panjwai, Kandahar province south of Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday. Taliban militants opened fire Tuesday on a delegation of senior Afghan officials including two of President Hamid Karzai's brothers visiting villages in southern Afghanistan where a U.S. soldier is suspected of killing 16 civilians.

Afghan villagers recount weekend shooting rampage BALANDI, Afghanistan (AP) — As bullets flew, the Afghan woman scooped up her 3year-old niece and ran for their lives. Moments later, the woman was dead and the girl lay bleeding from a gunshot wound.

It was the closing scene of a massacre that left 16 civilians, including nine children, dead in two villages in southern Kandahar province.

The U.S. is holding an Army staff sergeant that military officials say slipped off a U.S. base before dawn Sunday, walked to the villages, barged into their homes and opened fire. Some of the corpses were burned. Eleven were from one family. Five other people were wounded.

The military said Tuesday there was probable cause to continue holding the soldier, who has not been named, in custody. U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has said he could face capital punishment.

Villagers — angry at foreign troops, frustrated with their government and tired of war — recounted the tragedy to a delegation sent to the scene by President Hamid Karzai. Two who lost relatives insisted that not one — but at least two — soldiers took part in the shootings.

President Barack Obama pledged a thorough investigation, saying the U.S. was taking the case “as seriously as if it was our own citizens, and our children, who were murdered.”

In Afghanistan’s first significant demonstration since the killings, protesters in the east burned an effigy of Obama as well as a cross, which they used as a symbol of people — like many Americans — who are Christians. They also called for the death of the soldier who has been accused.

On Tuesday, there was even more gunfire in Balandi, the village where 12 civilians were killed.

Taliban insurgents opened fire from behind some trees at members of the delegation, including two of Karzai’s brothers. One Afghan soldier died of a gunshot wound to the head, while Afghan security forces returning fire killed three militants. Delegation members escaped unharmed.

Sunday’s shooting rampage began in Balandi, a village about 1.5 kilometers (nearly a mile) south of the base.

Mohammad Wazir told the delegation that he was out of town when 11 of his relatives were slain at his house about 2:30 a.m. Someone called him in Spin Boldak, where he works as a farmer, and he hurried home to Panjwai district.

He said his sister told him that she heard gunfire and saw at least two soldiers firing inside their walled compound before she ran to hide in the kitchen of her uncle’s home nearby.

“Everybody was shouting,” Wazir said his sister told him. “My mother was in the yard closest to the Americans. They shot and killed her.”

“My brother was shouting, ‘Why are you shooting?’ and they killed him,” Wazir said.

“Everybody was running in different directions. The children were running in one direction. The women were running in another direction, but they kept shooting.”

When his sister emerged from her kitchen hideout, 11 members of Wazir’s family were dead: his wife, mother, two sons, three daughters, his brother and sister-in-law, a nephew and a niece. Pieces of burned blankets were found near the bodies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is only beginning to calculate the pace of troop withdrawals from Afghanistan beyond this summer, facing an endgame fraught with political risk and complicated by shocking setbacks like the alleged U.S. slaughter of Afghan civilians.

At stake is not only President Barack Obama’s pledge to prevent Afghanistan from reverting to the terrorist haven it was before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but also his commitment to wind down the war while crafting a long-term security relationship with the Afghans.

U.S. military commanders want to keep as many troops in the country as possible until the Dec. 31, 2014, target date for having all combat forces out. They fear a too-rapid pullout would risk surrendering the security gains they have made in recent years.

But the White House faces the prospect of intensifying political pressure to end the military mission, especially after events such as the burning of Muslim holy books by U.S. troops last month that triggered a wave of Afghan violence, including the killings of at least six U.S. troops by Afghan troops.

Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., a top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, is among those calling for a faster withdrawal.

“It is time to bring our troops home, and, while the president has laid out a responsible path to do so, we should continue to look for every opportunity to accelerate our timeline,” Smith wrote in an opinion piece in USA Today.

Troop-cut planning is a product of complex calculations of the number and kinds of forces that are expected to be required in areas of Afghanistan with varying degrees of security and political weaknesses.

For example, it has already been decided that as many as 10,000 Marines will come out of Helmand province by September, reflecting vastly improved security in a former Taliban stronghold.

UK police arrest Rebekah Brooks in hacking probe LONDON (AP) — Former News International executive Rebekah Brooks and her racehorse trainer husband Charlie were arrested Tuesday in dawn raids that also netted four other suspects in the spreading phone hacking scandal.

Police said the six people were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. The charge is an indication that investigators may be focusing on a pos-

sible coverup of the scope of phone hacking rather than the illegal hacking itself.

It was the most arrests in a single day since “Operation Weeting” — as the police investigation into phone hacking is known — began arresting reporters, senior news executives, police officers and others suspected of criminal acts.

The early morning police swoop brought the scandal to Prime Minister David

Cameron’s immediate social circle. Cameron said at a press conference earlier this month that Charlie Brooks, Rebekah Brooks’ husband who has now been arrested, was a longtime friend.

The two had gone horse riding together, said Cameron, who lives in the Cotswolds town of Chipping Norton where the couple also reside.

“I’ve known Charlie Brooks, the husband of Rebekah Brooks, for over 30 years and

he’s a good friend and he’s a neighbor in the constituency — we live a few miles apart,” Cameron said after questions were raised about the propriety of the prime minister having ridden on a retired police horse that had been loaned to Rebekah Brooks.

The scandal began in 2005 with the revelation that tabloid reporters had broken into the voicemail systems of aides to the royal family in search of inside information.

WACO Museum to Tired Spring has sprung at 20% OFF host Wright speaker Readmore's Hallmark STOREWIDE TROY — The WACO Air Museum, 1865 S. County Road 25A, Troy, will host Lester Garber March 21 at 7 p.m.

His presentation is called “The Wright Brothers Make a Lucky Mistake!” Most Wright Brothers biographies emphasize the human story, not their engineering and mathematical solutions to the problems of lift, drag, thrust, power, stability, and control. This presentation gives one example of their engineering talents using high school physics and mathemat-

ics. Initially, the Wright Brothers incorrectly used Otto Lilienthal’s wing test data to design their 1900 and 1901 gliders.

It would prove to be a lucky mistake.

Garber has a doctor’s degree in industrial engineering from Penn State, and has spent many years researching, writing, speaking in public, and teaching.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, call (937) 335-9226 or email L C D i r @ wa c o a i r m useum.org.

Veteran helped Earlier this month, a veteran was referred to my office after being denied dental care at the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center even though he had service-connected disabilities. My office contacted the VA Medical Center Director who determined that an error had been made and our veteran was indeed eligible for dental care. The veteran was immediately scheduled for a comprehensive dental evaluation.

Veterans and military families — who often move from base to base — may not always have easy access to the documentation and records needed to receive service-related benefits and medals.

Last year, my office helped more than 500 Ohio veterans and their families find these records so that they could apply for their medals or the benefits they earned.

Sometimes, there are Ohio companies who want to expand operations and hire new workers, but federal bureaucracy stands in their way.

Cool Containers LLC, a Marietta-based company, produces specialized containers used to ship high-value pharmaceuticals and other temperature sensitive materials. This Ohio company struggled for years to secure approval from U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) until my office intervened. With our help, the FAA approved the PharmaPort 360 temperature-controlled shipping container developed and manufactured by Cool Containers LLC for use in commercial and military air transport. The FAA airworthiness certification follows more than 1 1/2 years of formal testing and review of design, systems integration, manufacturing practices and documentation.

Quality of life There is important work to do to improve the quality of life for Ohio seniors, veterans, families and businesses.

Legislation is a paramount aspect of that work, but members of Congress who are concerned about their neighbors do more that give speeches on the Senate floor.

One of my most important jobs as Senator is fulfilling constituent services-from helping Ohioans cut red tape to assisting with government resources. If you or your family needs assistance, please contact my office at (888) 896OHIO. It’s an honor to serve you.

Heart, Bronze Star, and other awards for his bravery. As a proud member of the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, it is always a privilege for me to help veterans and military families obtain replacements for lost medals and new medals that servicemembers may have never received.

Perhaps, the Sidney Daily News should consider placing the tributes in another section of the paper such as the obituary section. Just about any place would be better than with the classifieds. It might be more lucrative and professional for the Sidney Daily News to rethink their practice of placing memorials in the classifieds and find a more appropriate page to display a loved one’s tribute.

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Thursday, March 15, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Expect surprises, even with parents, teachers, bosses and authority figures, today.

Nevertheless, don’t quit your day job. Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans will be canceled or rescheduled today. Similarly, school plans might change. Disruptions in publishing, the media, the law and medicine are likely.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep an eye on your bank account and anything you share with others. Things are unstable today, and the unexpected can happen. (“A bounced check? Oh no!”)

the loser. A report by the United States Department of Transportation stated that there were more than 500,000 bicycle-related injuries that were treated in hospital emergency rooms in the United States in 2010.

Sadly, over 1,200 bicyclists died in collisions or falls last year. Bicycle accidents kill more young people under the age of 18 than poisons, falls or firearms.

DR. WALLACE: I am a 25-year-old girl who has been short all my life. Presently, I am barely 5 feet tall. Both of my parents are of average size, and my older brother is taller than both of them. I am actively involved in athletics and was wondering if sports has playing stunted my growth. — Tory, Holland, Mich.

TORY: Your participation in athletics has not stunted your growth — not even a tiny millimeter. The two prime factors in a person’s height are heredity and diet. Somewhere in your family tree was a relatively short person, and the person’s genes were passed on to you. Don’t despair! You still have a few years left to grow taller. But there is nothing wrong with being a healthy, robust 5 feet tall.

Obama attends NCAA game DAYTON (AP) — Basketball fan-in-chief President Barack Obama gave British Prime Minister David Cameron a front-row seat to March Madness on Tuesday, taking his European partner to an election swing state for an NCAA tournament basketball game.

The two leaders sat near one end of the court at the University of Dayton Arena for a “First Four” matchup between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky, a gesture of goodwill during Cameron’s official

visit to the United States and a way for an incumbent president to reach sports fans in an election year.

The setting created the image of two buddies, dressed in casual clothes, eating hot dogs and enjoying the NCAA tournament, one of America’s premier sporting events.

Cameron, who enjoys tennis and cricket but had never been to a basketball game before, said during a halftime interview on truTV that Obama was “giving me some tips. He’s going to help me fill out my tournament) (NCAA bracket.” Obama replied, “And he’s going to teach me cricket.”

Obama’s quick trip to Ohio gives him a chance to connect with basketball fans and generate attention in Ohio, which he carried in the 2008 election and is considered one of the top tossup states in 2012. The trip comes one week after Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney captured Ohio’s GOP primary.

The high-profile appearance also gave Obama a chance to project his image on a night when Republicans were awaiting primary results in Alabama and Mississippi, continuing a practice of grabbing some of the spotlight on Republican contest days.

Wapakoneta job-ready site receives BBB revokes CSX select site certification accreditation of WAPAKONETA — The West Central Ohio Industrial Center in Wapakoneta has been selected by CSX Corp., one of the nation’s leading transportation companies, to be one of its first certified CSX Select Sites.

CSX has introduced the new program to offer customers an easy way to access certified, rail-ready properties for a variety of industrial uses.

“These sites represent many of the best manufacturing properties along CSX’s rail network in the eastern U.S.,” explained Clark Robertson, CSX assistant vice president—redevelopment. gional “The Select Site designation promotes shorter decision timelines, increased speed to market and lower up-front de-

Finance workshop planned for non-finance people PIQUA — The Small Business Development Center at Edison Community College is sponsoring a free accounting/finance workshop March 22 from 3 to 5 p.m.

The workshop is designed for people who are unfamiliar with accounting and finance.

Participans will learn to identify where to start and what to do for smallbusiness accounting, such as accounting process and reports, software, government agencies and reporting requirements, auditor’s role, and professional organizations/certifications.

The workshop will be presented by Larry Dragosavac, professor of accounting, Edison Community College.

This session will be held in Room 057 at the Edison Community College main campus, 1973 Edison Drive. For further information or to register, call the Edison SBDC at (937) 3811525.

velopment risk for companies seeking industrial property for their manufacturing operations.”

The 471-acre West Central Ohio Industrial Center was also certified as an Ohio Job Ready Site in October 2010.

“All of the data suggests manufacturers prefer certainty in their selection of new plant locations,” said Robertson. “We intend to assist communities across our rail network to identify sites that can provide certainty and compete effectively for these new investments and jobs.”

Designated CSX Select Sites will benefit from increased marketing exposure, press releases and promotional materials and direct marketing to site selection professionals.

To receive CSX Select Site designation, the sites must meet a rigorous list of key criteria, including infrastructure and utility availability, environmental reviews, appropriate zoning and entitlement, air quality permitting, rail serviceability, proximity to highways or interstates and other attributes.

CSX has partnered with The Austin Co., a nationally known site selection and certification consulting firm, to screen candidate sites and assist communities with the application and certification process.

“Straight and to the point — there is no better way to describe the CSX Select Site program,” stated Don Schjeldahl, vice president of The Austin Co. “The program certifies rail ready/development ready properties of various sizes and features them on a website that is refreshing in its simplicity and a competitive leader in delivering information. In 30 years as a site selection professional I have visited literally thousands of property search websites. The CSX Select Site program and website stand above the rest.”

In its first round of certification, CSX has selected five sites. Two are located in Ohio and one each in Illinois, Kentucky and South Carolina. In addition to the West Central Ohio Industrial Center in Wapakoneta, the East-

Piqua business DAYTON — The Better Business Bureau has revoked the accreditation of six Dayton area companies and one from Piqua for failure to meet standards for trust.

The Piqua company is Affordable Roofing.

In announcing its action, the BBB released the following statement: “The BBB’s Standards for Trust state accredited businesses need to build trust and advertise honestly. These standards mean accredited businesses need to establish and maintain a positive track record in the marketplace including fulfilling all licensing and bonding requirements.

In addition, they should adhere to established standards of advertising and selling. Affordable Roofing’s BBB Accreditation was revoked for failure to abide by these standards. The BBB requested the company substantiate a licensing claim on its website. The BBB contacted the company multiple times by letter, certified mail and phone regarding the licensing claim. The BBB even sent a certified letter to the company advising of suspension of accredited business status and offering assistance. The company’s website is still not revised.”

The luck of the Irish St. Patrick’s Day celebration planned MCCARTYVILLE — Irish eyes will be smiling this week as the village holds its 29th annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration w i t h events Thursday Buehler through Saturday.

Organizer Larry Huecker said grand marshal for a parade on Saturday will be Leo Buehler, and twins Lynn and Lauren Fogt will reign over the festival as the 2012 queens.

Buehler and his family have been a big part of the McCartyville and Kettlersville communities for many years, Huecker noted. Now in his 80s, Buehler is a semi-retired farmer and veteran of both World War II and the Korean War. As the National Farm Organization’s national director, Buehler stepped in to help those less fortunate. When farmers went on strike over the price of pork, Buehler met with Mayor Carl Stokes of Cleveland in an effort to help the poor and was instrumental the donation of 1,000 pigs to indigent Cleveland residents.

Buehler served on Kettlersville Village Council for 36 years and is a former mayor of Kettlersville. He also served

Lynn Fogt Lauren Fogt as a volunteer firefighter during that time and served on various committees at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in McCartyville.

Huecker noted Buehler has been a part of the St. Patrick’s Day parade every year, driving his 1954 John Deere diesel tractor. Buehler purchased the tractor from B.O. Grilliot Implement in McCartyville.

Because the parade does not have registration for participants, organizers are never sure how many will take part.

“When we heard Leo and his John Deere were coming, we knew it would be a success,” Huecker said.

Buehler and his late wife, Mary, were married for 52 years and had six children.

“Leo’s family and his brothers and their families have meant a great deal to the McCartyville/Kettlersville area,” Huecker said. “These communities would not be the same without them. Leo’s sense of humor and welltimed practical jokes have always helped keep things in perspective.”

Huecker said Buehler

likes to say he owned a John Deere for 50 years and was married 50 years — “two dears for 50 years.”

Reigning over festivities will be the Fogt twins, college students who are the daughters of Allan and Kathy Fogt, of McCartyville.

On Friday the twins will be picked up in a van by past St. Patrick’s Day queens and taken to St. Patrick Catholic Church in the village of St. Patrick to have their photo taken by the statue of St. Patrick. A toast to this year’s queens will follow at Patrick’s Pub in McCartyville at 7 p.m. and they will then go to Sacred Heart Catholic Church to be crowned at 7:30.

The Fogt sisters will also receive what Huecker said is the “official big kiss” by McCartyville resident Nick Schmitmeyer.

This is reportedly an annual tradition. Schmitmeyer has been responsible for choosing queens since the first celebration.

Events will actually kick off Thursday at 7 p.m. with an Irish singalong at Patrick’s Pub. Jack Richard will provide music as Tom Reiss leads local residents in Irish songs.

On Friday, the Knights of Columbus will sponsor a fish fry in the church basement beginning at 4:30 p.m. and continuing until food runs out.

“They sell like 700 pounds of fish,”

Board learns about anti-bullying law

BY KATHY LEESE MINSTER — The Minster Board of Education heard a report about the Jessica Logan Act signed into law in Ohio in February and learned about new learning opportunities for Minster students during its meeting.

Superintendent Brenda Boeke told board members that Gov. John Kasich signed the Jessica Logan Act into law in February. The law, known as HB 116, is named for a Cincinnati teenager who committed suicide after being harassed at school and online. HB 116 will expand current anti-bullying legislation and will include cyberbullying in the definition of bullying.

In addition, the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), a federal law, has been updated to include the education of minors about appropriate online behavior. That education will include interacting with other students on social networking websites and chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response.

Minster Schools employee Greg Berning and administrative staff members will be working on new administrative guidelines in regard to Minster Schools Internet Acceptable Use Policy.

Additional information will be provided in the next few months.

Boeke reported that Berning is also working on two online learning opportunities for Minster students and teachers. One is a 21st Century Teaching Skill Assessment available through Atomic Learning, which will become a requirement for any technology application submitted by teachers this year.

The skill assessment will allow Berning to see if teachers are able to integrate 21st Century Skills into the curriculum. Professional development programs will be based on the outcome of those assessments.

The second program will be used by sixth-graders and will use the Kahn Academy, a library of videos that covers kindergarten to 12th-grade math and science skills. Students will be required to have a Google account to access the program and Berning is taking care of that aspect of the program.

Boeke told board members that the Southwest Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting included a

discussion about the West Central Ohio Workforce Development Initiative (WCOWDI). The two organizations are partnering with Rhodes State and Edison Community colleges and with TriStar Career Compact to train residents of Auglaize County who are unemployed or underemployed.

Boeke asked that she be included in further discussions regarding the plans to work with the colleges and Tri-Star.

Boeke stated, “I think we are doing our students an injustice by not educating them on the possibilities and needs that exist right here in Auglaize and surrounding counties. I look forward to hearing more about this initiative and to work alongside … individuals that will help Minster Schools address the need for skilled workers.”

Members of the American Legion Auxiliary talked with third-graders about flag etiquette and history. Martha Arling and Diana Hausfeld met with the students.

A kindergarten screening and open house will be held tonight from 7 to 8:30 at the school and grandparents day will be held for first through third grades Friday at the school.

The board heard a report on Minster Junior/Senior High School activities, including a “Real Money, Real World Simulation” program presented by the Auglaize County Ohio State University Extension office. The program taught students about living on their own, making decisions and the consequences of their decisions. They learned about opening a checking and savings account, paying bills and writing and balancing checks.

The board heard about the upcoming prom and meetings being held by junior and senior officers in regard to changes in this year’s Minster prom. The prom will be held this year at the Minster Elementary School building and a dinner and dance will also be held at the elementary school as part of the prom.

The board approved personnel recommendations, including granting Mike Short a supplemental contract as a high school assistant softball coach, and approving volunteer positions for Mark Wiss, Jeff Stueve, Mark Cordonnier, Matt Quinter and Scott Sherman, baseball, and Tom Richard and Chris Floyd, softball.

Huecker said.

Side dishes and carryouts also will be available.

Ted Berning and the Berning family help with the fry.

A social will be held Friday evening in the church basement with Ron Wolters providing music. Huecker said there will be music for both adults and children.

Afterward, local residents will return to the pub and there will also be house parties throughout the community.

On Saturday, an Irish jog is scheduled for 11 a.m. Those who wish to participate should meet at Sacred Heart Church at 10:30 a.m. for transportation to St. Patrick Church, where they will begin the three-mile walk and run back to McCartyville.

“We’ve got a lot of families that do that,” Huecker said.

The first male and first female to complete the jog will receive a T-shirt. Gerald Schmitmeyer is organizing the event.

The St. Patrick’s Day parade will kick off Satur-

day at 1 p.m.

“We don’t have any preregistration,” Huecker said, noting that anyone can enter the parade. He said the number of entries ranges from 25 to 40.

“Every year we’ve had a good turnout,” Huecker said. He said in addition to Buehler’s unit, there will be entries from the Anna American Legion Color Guard, a “grandmother’s float,” one by the Kettlersville-Van Buren Township Fire Department and a children’s float, among others. Attendance at the parade averages from 400 to 500 people.

Afterward, the Cracker Jack Band will perform at the heated shelter house in the village. The band is made up of a group of teenagers from Auglaize County. They will also perform in the parade.

A number of house parties will also be held Saturday evening.

“You can go from house to house and don’t have to be invited,” Huecker said.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office will be pro-

viding assistance throughout the weekend.

“We’ve talked to Sheriff (John) Lenhart. He’s been very good,” Huecker said.

“The deputies have always been very good helping us with the parade.”

“We police ourselves,” Huecker said. “Everyone’s aware of the drinking and driving. Everyone’s very careful.”

In addition to former McCartyville residents who return for the weekend, Huecker invited people from Sidney and Shelby County to attend the celebration. “All people are welcome. It’s familyfriendly. We do a lot for the children.”

Among those who first started the annual celebration were Schmitmeyer, Doug Heitkamp, Karen Beay, Mark Buehler, Allan Fogt, Pat Frilling, Jim Seigle, Mike Rickert and Huecker.

“We started out sitting in the pub. You’ve got two Irish towns (St. Patrick and McCartyville) … let’s do it,” Huecker said.

Now, 29 years later, it is still going strong.

ADVANCE MAN Bob McCann had to go before the president to make all arrangements for his meetings. On the wall was a Photo provided reminder of one of the cardinal rules — what to answer when someone asked for a personal audience with the president. It PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W.

White House when this call was made.

MINISTER several U.S. constitutional officers in the bull’s-eye center of power in our nation’s capital.”

Recently, McCann talked about his life in politics amid a vast collection of memorabilia collected over decades of public service. From clothing from his trips on Air Force One to personally signed pictures of those he served to jelly beans, table after table bore witness of a life of service to those who have led our nation.

The 73-year-old minister came from a politically aware family in Indiana. There were strong Democrats and strong Republicans in his family tree.

So, when he had an opportunity to get involved in political things, it was like a duck taking to water. It just came naturally.

McCann got involved in College Young Republicans, and in 1960 was elected state vice chairman of the group. He began moving up the political ladder, always in supporting positions instead of the spotlight. It was during John F. Kennedy’s term of office that the young man from Indiana met JFK. At the Capitol, he was waiting to get on an elevator.

President got out When it opened, those inside got out, including the president, who bumped into McCann.

“He was charismatic,” said the minister.

He also got to learn about President Lyndon B. Johnson a couple of years later.

“He was manipulative,” he noted, adding that LBJ was skilled at using the political system to get things done.

McCann worked on a congressional campaign in 1964 and was an assistant to the director of the political education division of the Republican National Committee. It was in that position that his work caught the eye of Gov. George Romney, three-time governor of Michigan and aspiring candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency.

Moving to Michigan, he worked for the governor as an advance man, eventually assuming that responsibility for Romney when he made his presidential run.

‘Like second father’ As a young man on the way up, McCann said George Romney was “like a second father to me.” He learned that the governor was a devoted family man who never scheduled anything on Wednesdays. That was a family day and nothing interfered on that day.

He told how Mrs. Romney would pack a thermos of milk and a beef sandwich for the governor every day. That was his lunch. The governor used to arise earlier than his wife to exercise. But he would always place a rose on his pillow for her. The minister shared how Mrs. Romney awoke one morning and noticed no rose on the pillow. She understood why. After the governor had awakened that morning to go exercise, he died in the exer-

• Gerald R. Ford: wonderful, humble.

• Ronald R. Reagan: guy next door, never forgot his past, patriotic.

• George H. W. Bush: considerate, humble, compassionate. cise room.

While working for the Michigan governor, McCann got to know his children, including future Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who was a youngster back then.

After George Romney withdrew from the presidential primaries, McCann was asked to join the advance team of then former Vice President Richard Nixon in 1968.

Taking a break from politics for a tour of active duty in the U.S. Air Force, he was assigned to a post in Saudi Arabia. It was there that he met the king of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, King Leroi Hussein, then a young man.

team home when he heard about it.

The minister shared how Nixon had an interesting dining habit. His daily lunch always consisted of cottage cheese and ketchup. Describing him as “shy and formal,” he said Nixon did not care for small talk. He talked about how he was fiercely loyal to his staff.

During the 1973 oil crisis with Saudi Arabia, McCann was one of a select group who worked to create what would eventually become the Department of Energy.

“everyone’s grandma.”

McCann was the national deputy director of Volunteers for the Bush for President Committee. He went on to also serve in the re-election bid.

While the first Bush was president, there was another embarrassing incident with Queen Elizabeth II. There was to be a press conference. The team set the podium to be the right height for the president, a tall man. However, they forgot to make an accommodation for the queen, who is short. When the queen went to the podium to speak, it dwarfed her. All that could be seen was her hat. When she later went to address a joint session of Congress, she went to the podium, looked to one side then the other and asked if “everyone could see me now.”

mer. While the minister is unsure where he will go from Sidney, there are some other things that have a bearing on his future. One is the candidacy of Gov. Mitt Romney, son of McCann’s “second father,” George Romney. On his off days and on vacation days, McCann has been doing what he can do to help the younger Romney in his bid for the White House, essentially finishing the work that his father attempted to do 30 years ago.

He has been a part of Team Romney-Ohio this year, volunteering to help in Montgomery County and other parts of Ohio.

Advance man again

Anna shoots for two in a row

BY KEN BARHORST kbarhorst@sdnccg.com It’s a formidable field of challengers to the throne of the Anna Lady Rockets, who play Thursday in defense of their Division III state girls basketball championship.

Anna, the defending state champ and the No. 1-ranked team in Ohio all season long, takes a perfect 26-0 mark and a 50-game winning streak into action Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Schottenstein Center against Findlay Liberty-Benton, 23-2.

The winner returns Saturday at 2 p.m. to play either Columbus Africentric (21-4) or Smithville (26-0) for the D-III crown.

When the Lady Rockets made the trip to Columbus last year, they posted a couple of easy wins, beating Fort Recovery 57-40 in the semifinals, then Oak Hill in the finals, 5032.

That has continued this season, with the Lady Rockets getting few challenges. In the regional championship game

Saturday, they routed a 24-1 Miami East team 58-32 to punch their return ticket to Columbus.

“It’s always exciting for the team and the community when something like this happens,” said Anna head coach Jack Billing. “People ask me to compare this year’s team to last year’s, but it’s two completely different teams. We lost two 1,000-point scorers and an all-stater off last year’s

team, so this is a totally differerent group. So we really don’t look at that.”

Anna has taken teams apart all season with its relentless pressure all over the floor, and it will be interesting to see how effective it is Thursday night against Liberty-Benton, which is led by junior Caitie Craft, the younger sister of Ohio State junior guard Aaron Craft.

When Craft was a sopho-

more, she had 19 points in the state championship game, won by Liberty-Benton over Middletown Madison. She also played in the state tournament as a freshman.

“Keep her off the foul line,” was how Billing answered when asked what Anna needed to do against Craft.

“She gets to the line 15 or 20 times a game. She’s a great player. She knows the game as well as anybody, and she

just refuses to lose.”

Liberty-Benton’s two losses during the season were to Lima Bath and Miller City.

Bath is in the Division II state tournament field.

Craft averages 21.7 points per game for the Lady Eagles and is a 5-foot-8 senior who will follow her brother to Ohio State next season.

Tigers one win from state Beat St. Henry 37-30 in first meeting ever between the two

BY MATT ZIRCHER KETTERING — Like one Tiger fan said, “they find a way.”

The Jackson Center Tigers will be playing for a trip to the state tournament after taking care of the St. Henry Redskins in Division IV Regional semifinasl Tuesday here, 37-30.

It was the first time the two schools have ever played in boys basketball, according to Shelby County basketball historian Bob Wise.

The Tigers, the state’s No. 1-ranked team, are now 25-0 on the season and return to Kettering Friday night at 7:30 to take on Dayton Jefferson in the regional championship.

The Tigers will be looking for their first trip to the boys state tournament since winning it in 1985.

“It all came down to defense and we came out on top probably because we came up with one or two more stops than they did,” said Jackson coach Scott Elchert. “Credit St. Henry, though. They were equally as tough on us. Tournament games at this level come down to defense and execution offensively in the half court and we did a good job of both tonight.”

St. Henry finishes the season with a 20-5 record.

The Tigers pulled out the win despite two-time County Player of the Year Andy Hoying having just two field goals in the game, and no one finishing in double figures.

But as has been the case all season long, the Tiger defense never wavered. They held the Redskins to just 35 percent shooting from the field, and forced the Redskins into 16 turnovers, seven more than they committed themselves.

“Andy may have struggled offensively tonight, but if you had to guard (Kyle) Stahl for 32 minutes, you’d understand that it takes a lot out of you,” Elchert said. “He did come up with a couple of key baskets, though, especially that three after St. Henry had taken the lead. We challenged him to step it up offensively in the second half and he responded.”

Jackson led 8-4 after a quarter and pulled out to a 14-6 lead with 5:21 left in the half on a jumper by Troy Opperman.

But they couldn’t sustain the advantage, and St. Henry

JACKSON CENTER head coach Scott Elchert yells to his players during the Division IV Regional semifinals Tuesday in Kettering. went on an 8-0 run to end the quarter, leaving the score 1414 at the half.

“I wasn’t too concerned when St. Henry made that run late in the first half and then took the lead,” Elchert said. “Our guys pride themselves on their poise and we thought that the game would be more back and forth than it turned out to be. I feel confident that these guys will maintain their composure.”

The Redskins got the first bucket of the third quarter for their first lead of the game, but Hoying drained one of his two field goals, this one a three-pointer, to give the Tigers the lead back.

They would not trail again, and the bucket started a 9-0 run that staked the Tigers to a 23-16 lead with 2:12 remaining in the third quarter.

After St. Henry scored, Trey Elchert hit a threepointer to make it 26-18, and the third quarter ended with the Tigers up 26-20.

Jackson went from 1:57 left in the third period to 6:06 left in the fourth without scoring, but Hoying’s tip-in made it a 28-22 lead.

But the Tigers again hit a drought, not scoring again until just 1:36 left on a pair of

free throws by Opperman.

Those left the Tigers on top by four after the Redskins had trimmed the lead down to 2826.

St. Henry cut it to 30-28 with 1:24 left, but the Tigers then forced the Redskins to foul.

Eric Ryder hit a pair to make it 32-28, and after a bucket by Jordan Bender cut it to 32-30 with just :41 left, Hoying hit one to make it 33-30.

St. Henry misfired on a three-pointer, and Alex Meyer dropped in two more free throws to make it 35-30. St. Henry turned it over, and Opperman dropped in two more with just :08 left to nail down the win.

The Tigers had excellent balance, with Opperman scoring nine and Hoying, Elchert and Ryder eight apiece.

Meyer was held to four points, but in addition to hitting the big free throws at the end, he pulled down a teamhigh seven rebounds. Hoying grabbed six, go to with three assists and three steals.

ANNA Rachel Myers is a 5-7 averaging sophomore 13.8, and Katie Simon is a 6-0 freshman who averages 8.0 per game.

Samantha Rhodes is a 5-8 senior averaging 3.8 and Carrie Reynolds is a 5-7 sophomore averaging 5.1.

“Katie is six foot but she can step out and shoot the three,” said Liberty-Benton coach Nate Irwin of Simon.

He said Craft can play

“As a sophomore, she was a very good player but it really wasn’t her team,” said Simon. “The last two years, they’ve been her teams. It’s great to see her get another chance to play in the final four.”

Simon said the Lady Eagles are a perimeter team. “We’ve got about

160 or 170 three-pointers this season,” he said.

The Lady Rockets are led by Billing’s daughter Natalie, a 5-11 junior averaging 17.1 per game.

Senior starters Morgan Huelskamp and Ashley Frohne are at 12.5 and 11.9, respectively.

“Anna is very talented,” Simon said of the Lady Rockets. “We’ve played a couple teams that remind me of them

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Syracuse will have to chase a national championship without starting center Fab Melo, who has been declared ineligible for the NCAA tournament.

The university announced Tuesday that the 7-foot Brazilian, who did not travel with the team to Pittsburgh for the second- and thirdround games, won’t take part in the tournament due to an eligibility issue. The school did not elaborate.

Melo missed three games earlier this season — including one of the top-seeded Orange’s two losses — because of an academic issue, ESPN, citing an anonymous source, reported that Melo’s absence is related to the first suspension and that the NCAA revisited the case and again ruled him ineligible.

Coach Jim Boeheim said the Orange will be “ready to play.”

As he left the bus in front of the team hotel Tuesday, Boeheim at first said he had nothing to say. He then told The Associated Press that “all we can do is be ready to play with the guys we have.”

“That’s all we can do,” he said. “There are injuries, things happen during a season. We’ll be ready to play and we’ll go play.”

Melo’s sudden ineligibility made waves in Las Vegas, where Cantor Gaming dropped Syracuse’s chances of winning the title to 12-1 from 10-1 Tuesday morning, said Mike Colbert, Cantor’s risk management director.

Colbert said the region’s No. 2, Ohio State, was lifted to 5-1 from 6-1 and other lines were affected.

Syracuse went from a 16.5-point favorite against 16-seeded UNCAsheville to a 15.5 point favorite.

Boeheim has not decided who will start in place of Melo, the Big East Defensive Player of Year, on Thursday when Syracuse (31-2) opens the tournament against No. 16 seed North Carolina-Asheville.

Melo’s presence on the back line of the Orange’s 2-3 zone might not be a factor in that game but it could be if Syracuse advances to play to face the winner of the Kansas State-Southern Mississippi game or possible future opponents in the East Regional such as Ohio State, with sophomore center Jared Sullinger, Florida State or Wisconsin.

Sophomore Baye Keita or freshman Rakeem Christmas should get the start. The Orange are one of the deepest teams in the tournament with seven players, including Melo, averaging between 13.8 and 6.6 points per game.

Tuesday’s games Iowa State (22-10) vs. UConn

Iowa routs UD in NIT opener IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Freshman Aaron White scored a careerhigh 25 points, sophomore Zach McCabe tied a career high with 20 and seventh-seeded Iowa rolled past Dayton 84-75 on Tuesday night in the opening round of the NIT Sophomore Melsahn Basabe added 15 points for the Hawkeyes (1816), who will play at either LSU or Oregon in the second round.

Iowa, which was play-

ing in its first postseason tournament game in six years, broke open a tie game with a 16-3 run midway through the second half to go ahead 6552.

Kevin Dillard had 23 points for Dayton (2013), which beat Minnesota, Alabama and Mississippi this season.

Though the Flyers were the higher seed, the game was played in Iowa City because Dayton's home gym was hosting the NCAA tournament.

Browns crawl into free agency CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns entered free agency with a whimper.

Moments after the NFL’s signing p e r i o d o p e n e d Tuesday, the club announced that it had released starting right tackle Tony Pashos, who played with a torn tendon in his left foot last season.

The Browns also tendered contracts to wide receiver Jordan Norwood and defensive lineman Brian Schaefering and signed backup offensive lineman John Greco to a contract extension.

Along with Pashos, the team released punter Richmond McGee, who spent 15 weeks on injured reserve last season after injuring his back during warmups before the opener.

On Tuesday night, agent Kevin Richardson announced on Twitter that tight end Alex Smith has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Browns. The team had no immediate comment.

Pashos had two injury-plagued seasons with the Browns, who signed him as a free agent in 2010. He ruptured a tendon in his foot during Cleveland’s final preseason game, but instead of going on IR or having surgery, the 31year-old Pashos decided to tough it out and play.

He never let on how badly he was hurt and Pashos underwent surgery last week, a procedure that will sideline him for up to 10 months.

Although they’re coming off a 4-12 season and have plenty of needs, the Browns are not expected to be big players in free agency.

But that could change.

General manager Tom Heckert believes in building through the draft and adding key free-agent pieces to fill roles. That’s how he did it in Philadelphia and it’s been his method so far with Cleveland.

“We’re not going to go crazy in free agency,” Heckert said last week.

“We’re not going to do it.

Are there guys that we’re targeting? Certainly. Now are we going to get them? That remains to be seen.”

The Browns have not announced if they have any free agents visiting in the coming days.

After being outbid by Washington to move up in the draft and potentially select Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Browns were assumed to be interested in Green Bay backup Matt Flynn, after Peyton Manning the star of this year’s freeagent quarterbacks class.

Heckert said it was unlikely the Browns would find their starting quarterback in free agency and Flynn, who has two career starts, might be out of Cleveland’s price range anyway.

As Aaron Rodgers’ backup, Flynn doesn’t get much playing time, but he made the most of his one start last season.

He passed for 480 yards and six touchdowns in Green Bay’s win over Detroit in the regularseason finale.

Flynn has experience running the West Coast offense coach Pat Shurmur installed last season. Flynn could replace incumbent Colt McCoy as Cleveland’s starter.

However, Heckert said last week he still believes McCoy can be a good quarterback.

LLIA announces funding allocations FORT LORAMIE — Allocation of the Lake Loramie Improvement Association’s 2012 Ohio Department of Wildlife grant funding was announced during the group’s February meeting at the old Eagles lodge in Minster.

Distribution will include: Coonskin Cap sponsorship, $840; Coonskin Cap supplies, $720; Fishing Derby sponsorship, $750; Women’s Fishing seminar, $500; and Kid’s Fishing seminar, $500.

Julie Stueve reported she has been in contact with Lynda Adams of the Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District regarding Passport to Fishing instructors for the Women’s and Kid’s Fishing seminars.

Doug Winner announced this year’s Boat Parade will be held July 15. The theme is “A Day at the Zoo.” Volunteers are needed to organize the annual picnic later that day.

The association is still seeking a volunteer to head the Fall Fest committee as well as new members of the committee.

Pam Frey volunteered to organize volunteers for Liberty Days in July.

Randy Sparklin and Doug Winner will handle set-up and tear-down and Charlotte Smith is in charge of raffle tickets. Belinda Wolaver said a form for raffle tickets was included in the month’s membership mailing and that 228 have been sold to date.

The Ducks Unlimited banquet will be held March 31 and the cost for a sponsor is $285.

LLIA will again be a sponsor and the tickets for the banquet will be raffled at the next association meeting.

Members voted to appropriate $300 to Ruth Aselage for the annual Lake Loramie Improvement Association booklet. She asked members for new photos for the new booklet.

Wolaver suggested the possibility of a new fundraiser, a Wild Game.Fish Fry in late spring. A new member, Tom Hoying, owner of Oak Tree Restaurant, has offered use of the facility. Such an event would depend on donaPhoto provided tions off wild game and fish by LLIA members and the community.

him. I feel betrayed and confused. I tell myself I do it “for a place to stay.”

Is there forgiveness for me? Please help. — DISTRAUGHT IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR DISTRAUGHT: It appears you ARE “doing it for a place to stay,” and for your own well-being you need to make other living arrangements and get out of there. You have been betrayed, and your feelings are valid.

You are not being treated like a daughter; you are being coerced by a man with no conscience or compassion.

Of course there is forgiveness for you — but first you have to forgive yourself. Leaving is the first step.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Ross,” and I have been together for five years and have a 2year-old child. We talk a lot about marriage and we’re engaged — kind of.

Ross asked me and I said yes four years ago, but no one knows we’re engaged. He bought me a ring and I have been wearing it.

Nobody has questioned it.

I want to say some-

thing about our plans, but Ross says he’s too nervous and is afraid my parents will be angry. I am 23 and unemployed.

Ross is 24 and has had bad luck with a bunch of jobs. Our 2-year-old and I live with my parents.

Ross is currently staying with his grandparents.

I don’t want a big wedding and I’m afraid my parents will be mad if Ross and I start planning ours. How can we break the news to them?

— TIMID IN STOCKTON, CALIF. DEAR TIMID: If Your boyfriend is too

nervous to tell anyone about the engagement, face it — you’re kind of NOT engaged. If I were you, I’d hold off making any announcements to your folks until you have the answers ready to some questions first, like where you and Ross plan to live after the wedding.

With your parents? His grandparents? Who do you expect will be paying for the wedding you’re planning?

“Everyone” may have ignored the significance of the ring you’re wearing because neither of you is ready for marriage.
