Rural edge keeps Santorum in BY JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press WEST MONROE, La. (AP) — Republican presidential nominating contests often reveal a rural-urban split in the party, but what sets this year’s campaign apart is the emphasis Rick Santorum is placing on that divide and wearing his successes in small-town America as a badge of honor. To hear Santorum tell it, the ability of front-runner Mitt Romney to win in bigcity suburbs is a mark of ideo-
logical weakness, not political strength. “Gov. Romney does well in the counties where Democrats do well, and we do well in the counties where Republicans do well,” Santorum said this week. “That might give you some indication as to who the candidate is who best reflects the values of the Republican party.” Whereas President Barack Obama once infamously tried to explain rural culture with an anthropologist’s detachment, saying rural Americans “cling to guns or religion” out
of a sense of economic desperation, Santorum happily embraces the culture. He worships with Pentecostals in central Louisiana one day and campaigns at a gun range in the north on another, testing his marksmanship by pulling the trigger of a .45-caliber semiautomatic Colt pistol. Crisscrossing Louisiana this week and Illinois before that, Santorum thrived in small cities and rural areas where social conservatism runs deep, where the stresses of a slow economic recovery See RURAL/Page 3A
High prices? Americans pump less BY TOM KRISHER Associated Press Americans have pumped less gas every week for the past year. During those 52 weeks, gasoline consumption dropped by 4.2 billion gallons, or 3 percent, according to MasterCard SpendingPulse. The decline is longer than a 51-week slide during the recession. The main reason: higher gas prices. The national average for a gallon of gas is $3.89, the highest ever for this time of year, and experts say it could be $4.25 by late April. As a result, Americans are taking fewer trips to restaurants and shopping malls.
When they take a vacation, they’re staying closer to home. But the decline in gas consumption is also a sign that efforts to push carmakers to produce vehicles with better gas mileage are paying off. The average new car now gets nearly 24 miles to the gallon, compared with about 20 mpg just four years ago, according to the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. “I’d expect to see lower gasoline consumption for several years to come,” Rice University energy expert Ken Medlock says. Americans have cut back on fill-ups for extended periods before. In 2008, gas spiked
from $3.04 to $4.11 per gallon in seven months. It wasn’t until January 2009, when the national average for gas had dropped to $1.86 that consumption increased. Drivers bought more gasoline for 23 weeks in a row. “The spike in 2008 was a real shock to the system,” Medlock says. “There’s still a residual impact on people’s driving behavior.” There were other stretches of reduced gas use, notably two into the 1970’s and one in the early 1980’s. But in those cases, Americans eventually went back to driving big cars and trucks that guzzled gas. This time may be different. See PUMP/Page 3A
BEIRUT (AP) — Tens of thousands of Syrians braved tear gas and gunfire to protest across the country Friday, vowing to storm the capital Damascus to oust President Bashar Assad as the European Union ramped up pressure on the regime by imposing sanctions on his wife and other close relatives. Security forces deployed in many cities to disperse protests, but opposition groups reported fewer protester deaths than in past weeks. Activists said more than 20 people were killed nationwide in army attacks on opposition areas or clashes with armed rebels. International condemnation and high-level diplomacy have failed to stop the yearold Syria crisis, which the U.N. says has killed more than 8,000 people, many of them civilian protesters. Friday’s sanctions bring to 13 the sets imposed by the EU to try to compel the regime to halt its violent crackdown on dissent. The U.S. and others have also imposed sanctions. Previous measures were aimed at Syrian companies and Assad himself. Those imposed Friday targeted Asma Assad, Syria’s British-born first lady, banning her from traveling to EU countries and freezing any assets she may have there. They also included the president’s mother, sister, sister-in-law and eight government ministers. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said sanctions were weakening the regime. “Their economic situation becomes ever more difficult. Syria has few reserves,” he said. “We think its economic situation will become untenable.” While the measures have hurt Syria’s economy, they appear to have had little effect on the regime’s actions. It has See SYRIA/Page 3A

In state after state since he began to emerge as the not-Romney candidate in the Republican field, Santorum has beaten Romney in rural areas, even in states Romney ultimately won.

gressional districts, his relative weakness elsewhere raises doubts about his ability to slow Romney’s march to the nomination. “He needs to do a lot better in the suburbs than he has recently,” John Feehery, a Republican strategist and former top House Republican leadership aide, said of Santorum. “He’s definitely the candidate of the sticks.”

PUMP Medlock thinks economic growth will be too modest and gas prices will stay too high for Americans to start driving more anytime soon. Economists expect the U.S. economy to grow 2.5 percent in 2012. The government estimates that gas will average a record $3.79 per gallon for the year. John Gamel, who oversees MasterCard SpendingPulse’s weekly consumption report,
From Page 1 points to rising sales of fuel-efficient vehicles. “People have gotten used to elevated prices and they’ve made their long-term purchases,” Gamel says. “They’re going to be using less fuel.” Consumers now care more if a car gets good gas mileage than if it’s reliable, stylish or comes with a great deal, according to a survey of more than 24,000 newvehicle owners taken
last summer and fall by J.D. Power and Associates. That wasn’t the case in the nine previous years that J.D. Power conducted the survey. Automakers have listened to consumers, and responded to stricter government fuel economy requirements. The government is gradually increasing gas mileage requirements so by 2025, cars and trucks will have to average 54.5 mpg.
SYRIA From Page 1 regularly deployed troops, pro-government thugs and snipers to attack anti-regime protests. Human rights groups accuse the regime of shelling civilian areas and torturing and killing detainees in its push to stop the uprising, which it blames on terrorists carrying out a foreign conspiracy. In Geneva, the U.N. Human Rights Council blasted Syria’s crackdown and extended the mandate of a U.N. expert panel tasked with reporting on alleged abuses in the country. A resolution passed by the 47-member body condemned “widespread, systematic and gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms perpetrated” by Syrian authorities, including summary executions, torture and sexual abuse of detainees and children. Also Friday, UNICEF said at least 500 children have been killed in the conflict, while hundreds more have been injured, detained or abused. The U.N. children’s agency said schools have closed and health centers have shut down or become too dangerous for many families to reach. Throughout the conflict, China and Russia have protected Syria from censure by the U.N. Security Council, fearing a strongly worded resolution condemning Assad could pave the way for military intervention, as happened in Libya last year. Russia, however, softened its stance Thursday by calling for Assad to pull his troops out of Syrian cities. The U.N. has been trying to secure a cease-fire so all parties could hold a dialogue on a political solution to end the conflict. So far, both sides have refused talks. 2264233

Kimpel pretrial held; Auglaize hearing coming soon BY KATHY LEESE A pretrial hearing in the Shelby County case of suspended Sheriff D e a n Kimpel was held Thursday, with Kimpel in attendance, Kimpel and a dismissal/suppression hearing will be held soon in an Auglaize County case also involving Kimpel. The hearing Thursday was held in Shelby County Common Pleas Court with Judge
Robert Lindeman presiding. Lindeman is a Miami County Common Pleas Court judge who was named to preside in the case after Judge James Stevenson recused himself due to a possible conflict. Miami County Prosecutor Gary Nasal, special prosecutor in the Kimpel cases in both Shelby and Auglaize counties, said trial in the Shelby case remains set for July 30-Aug. 1. “Everything’s proceeding toward trial. Discovery is proceeding and everybody’s ready to go,” Nasal said. The hearing was not open to the public. Kimpel is facing five
BELLEFONTAINE SURROUNDING AREAS AREAS && SURROUNDING
felony charges in Shelby County for allegedly misusing a government computer program, the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG), to look up information on four women for personal reasons. Two of the women were his own deputies. A request for a continuance in the case was made earlier this month and granted by Lindeman. The trial, which was originally set for April 3-5, was rescheduled after a joint request was made by both the prosecution and defense. In Auglaize County, a dismissal/suppression hearing is scheduled for
April 2 at 9 a.m. in Auglaize County Common Pleas Court, Wapakoneta. The hearing, which is open to the public, will focus on the request by Kimpel’s attorney, Michael Rumer, of Lima, to dismiss sexual battery charges against the former sheriff. attorney Kimpel’s filed the motion in February, stating that evidence in the case was obtained during an independent internal affairs investigation involving former Shelby County Sheriff ’s Deputy Jodi Van Fossen, who alleged Kimpel sexually assaulted her at her in Auglaize home
County in July 2010. During the investigation, Kimpel signed a Garrity warning during an interview, which stated the information obtained during the investigation could not be used against him in criminal proceedings, which led to the motion to suppress/dismiss the charges. Kimpel’s lawyer has subpoenaed a number of individuals to appear at that hearing, including former Shelby County Sheriff ’s Capt. Michael Eilerman, Lt. Detective James Frye, Shelby County Prosecutor Ralph Bauer, Licking County Sheriff ’s Deputy Sgt. Chris Barb-
uto and Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Todd Brown. A final pretrial hearing in the Auglaize County case is scheduled for April 16 with trial set for May 7-10. If Kimpel is convicted in the sexual battery case, he faces up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine. He would also be required to register as a sex offender. Kimpel was suspended from office pending the outcome of criminal cases the against him. John Lenhart is serving as interim sheriff and is running for the office in the November election.

Board recommends no mercy in teen’s death BY JOANNE VIVIANO Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Parole Board recommended Friday that Gov. John Kasich deny clemency to a man sentenced to die for stabbing to death the teenage son of his employers while burglarizing their farmhouse. The board ruled unanimously that Mark Wiles’ execution should proceed because he exploited the family’s kindness and because his remorse doesn’t outweigh the brutality of the crime in which a boy was beaten, stabbed 10 times and found with a knife in his back. Wiles’ defense team had argued he should be spared because he confessed to the crime, has shown extreme remorse and regret and has a good prison record. The board’s report now goes to Kasich, who has the option of taking
the recommendation or commuting Wiles’ sentence to life in prison with no chance for parole. Wiles, 49, is scheduled to die April 18. However, there is an unofficial moratorium on executions in the state after federal courts delayed February and March executions over concerns that the state continues to deviate from its written rules for lethal injections. Wiles has joined other inmates in the suit asking a judge to also halt their executions while procedures are reviewed. Hearings continue in that case and are expected to extend into next week. Prisons department spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said the state has made no changes to its policy directive for executions but is implementing an “incident command” protocol aimed at ensuring strict compliance with the pol-

icy. The board’s report says Wiles had been out of prison on a previous aggravated robbery for less than a year on Aug. 7, 1985, when he killed 15-year-old Mark Klima, a straight-A student who wanted to be a doctor, in the Portage County farmhouse. The boy’s mother had written a letter to the parole board in support of Wiles before his release, despite his having stolen from the family in the past. Mark Klima was found by two girls who were staying at the farm, the report says. The knife in his back had been used to cut a birthday cake the day before. The board’s report also says Wiles had suffered a head injury in a bar 12 days before the slaying, and a doctor testified that tests indicate he may have an injury to part of the brain that regulates impulse control. Another doctor agreed that Wiles has a brain injury and said he also has a substance abuse problem and personality disorder. In a statement Friday, Wiles’ defense team at the federal public defender’s office said he “is not the worst of the worst” and called the parole board “hypocritical in its reasons for either granting or denying clemency.” “In other reports, the Board has denied clemency because an inmate did not accept responsibility, did not express remorse, and even did not do community service projects while on death row. Mr. Wiles has done all of that and then some,” the statement said. “The message this recommendation sends is that it does not matter how well an inmate behaves in prison, or how much remorse they demonstrate, or whether the only evidence the prosecution had to convict Mr. Wiles was his own confessions.”
COLUMBUS (AP) — State troopers are a bit hot under the collar in a dispute with management over who determines when they can switch from longsleeved to short-sleeved uniforms. Troopers had wanted to switch to short sleeves earlier than the April 15 date specified by the union contract because of this year’s unusually warm spring and record-high temperatures, The Columbus Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/GI5nfE). But they opted to stick with long sleeves and ties after the State Highway Patrol superintendent, Col. John Born, told the union on Thursday that they could switch early only if management gets to make the call in future years. The contract says short-sleeved, open-collared uniforms can be worn from April 15 to Nov. 1. Management made the decision on when the switch was made until three years ago, when the union succeeded in getting the dates it had wanted. Union president Larry Phillips says the patrol is trying to revert to old ways, but patrol Anne spokeswoman Ralston says Born is following the contract. “The patrol saw this as an opportunity to make changes to what they lost back in 2009,” said Phillips, who heads the 1,750-member Ohio State Troopers Association.

DAYTON (AP) — A memorial service in southwest Ohio honored an Air Force dog that died earlier this month after a military career, which included serving in the Iraq War and helping federal authorities with more than 500 arrests. The service with military honors was held for Nisan (NEE’-sun) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where the 10-year-old German Shepherd had been assigned since 2003. Nisan worked with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agencies and was credited with helping track down about 20 pounds of narcotics. The memorial service included a procession by a Patriot Guard motorcycle escort, a 21gun salute and the playing of “Taps” Military working dogs typically help identify explosives and narcotics, find insurgents and provide secu-
Ralston said that the old contract gave management flexibility to take into account unseasonably warm or cold weather and adjust accordingly. “The employer was willing to change,” she said of the short-sleeved request. “However, the union was unwilling to return that original management right back to the employer. (OOTC:EPLI) “ Phillips says the patrol talks about how troopers working the road are taking drugs off the streets and reducing traffic fatalities. Allowing the earlier switch to short sleeves “would have been a way they could have rewarded people” at no cost, he said. Phillips said he asked Born’s office on Tuesday about switching to short sleeves sooner than the contract allows after a trooper asked him to make the request. the longWhen sleeved uniform is worn with a tie and combined with a protective vest, a trooper’s “body temperature gets significantly higher,” especially in 80-
degree weather, Phillips said. The short-sleeved uniform’s open collar allows some “air under the shirt,” Phillips said. He said the union asked for the dates in the current contract because management previously would not allow the switch to short sleeves until May and would return to long sleeves in October. The April 15-Nov. 1 timeline gives troopers and other patrol employees a little more time in short sleeves, he said. A meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Wilmington office says that while temperatures the rest of the month are expected to be cooler than in the past couple of weeks, they probably will remain above normal across most of the state. Ohio’s normal highs in early April are the midto upper 50s in the north and closer to 60 degrees in the south, Mark meteorologist Kurz said. ——— Information from: The Columbus Dispatch, http://www.dispatch.co m

‘Not that kid’ MIAMI (AP) — Wearing a hoodie. Listening to music and talking on his cellphone. Picking up Skittles for his soon-to-be stepbrother. Friends say that’s how they would have imagined 17year-old Trayvon Martin on a Sunday afternoon. Starting a fight? Possibly high on drugs and up to no good? No, friends say that description of Martin from the man who shot and killed the unarmed black teenager doesn’t match the young man they knew. “There’s no way I can believe that, because he’s not a confrontational kid,” said Jerome Horton, who was one of Martin’s former football coaches and knew him since he was about 5. “It just wouldn’t happen. That’s just not that kid.” Martin was slain in the town of Sanford on Feb. 26 in a shooting that has set off a nationwide furor over race and justice. Neighborhood crime-watch captain George Zimmerman, whose father is white and mother is Hispanic, claimed selfdefense and has not been arrested, though state and federal authorities are still investigating.
Key liability spotlighted METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Mitt Romney on Friday looked to pre-empt Supreme Court arguments that will shine a spotlight on a key vulnerability for him in the Republican primary — health care reform. Romney called Democratic President Barack Obama’s signature overhaul “an unfolding disaster for the American economy, a budget-busting entitlement and a dramatic new federal intrusion into our lives.” Romney was marking the second anniversary of the signing of the health care law, which requires all Americans to pay insurance or face a tax penalty. That mandate to buy insurance has become a focal point for conservative anger, and critics say it represents unwanted or even unconstitutional government intrusion. Romney, though, signed a health reform law as governor of Massachusetts that required everyone in the state to buy insurance, legislation that became the model for the national overhaul.
OUT OF THE BLUE
Kitten hitches ride over Golden Gate SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A stowaway kitten is safe despite taking an 85mile ride in a van’s engine compartment that included a trip across California's Golden Gate Bridge. A Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter spokesman says the 8-month-old female feline was probably just looking for a warm place to sleep. The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports the van’s road-tripping driver left from Marin County and spent the night in a Mill Valley parking lot before heading out Wednesday morning for Santa Cruz. He didn’t stop until he reached a gas station in the beachfront city, where he heard a distinct meowing. He opened the hood and found the kitten with a blue, studded collar and blue bell but no identification. The shelter is trying to locate the owner.

Indictment unsealed in contracts probe BY LINDA DEUTSCH Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — A felony indictment unsealed Friday accused former executives and concert promoters of a scheme to embezzle millions of dollars from the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as the once venerable site of Olympics, Super Bowls and political events was reduced to hosting rave concerts. The 29-count, grand jury indictment released by Los Angeles County prosecutors alleges bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy and conflict of interest. It names two former Coliseum executives, two rave promoters and two other Coliseum contractors. It claims that millions of dollars were stolen from the operations of the stadium that has been a landmark since the 1920s. “My office has thoroughly investigated and will aggressively prosecute this public corruption case.” District Attorney Steve Cooley said. Among the events cited by prosecutors while opposing bail for the defendants was a drug-fueled rave where a young woman suffered an overdose and later died. However, the event was not part of the grand jury indictment. Prosecutors claim the promoters were undeterred by the death and pressed for

THIS FEB. 13, 2008, FILE photo shows the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, Calif. A long simmering dispute about operation of the Coliseum erupted Thursday, with criminal charges against two former Coliseum executives and the owner of a music promotion company. more raves, providing bribes to win access to the venue. Four defendants appeared in court and a judge entered pleas of not guilty for them. Their attorneys have said they are scapegoats for mismanagement of the Coliseum. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg agreed to significantly reduce the original bail figures set for the men. She ordered them back for a hearing March 28. At day’s end, Todd DeStefano, assistant general manager for events, was being allowed to post $1.2 million bail as was Pasquale Rotella,
the owner of Insomniac Inc. They were expected to be released. Reza Gerami, owner of Go Ventures Inc., a promoter of music events also was held on $1.2 million bail and Patrick Lynch, former general manager of the Coliseum had his bail set at $800,000. Prosecutors said they had not yet presented their bail plans and would not be released immediately. Two contractors named in the indictment were out of town and had not yet surrendered. Lynch, DeStefano and
Gerami were brought to court in blue jail uniforms with their hands cuffed. Rotella, who was out of town when the others were arrested Thursday, flew to Los Angeles and surrendered in court. He was taken into custody. Outside court, Rotella’s lawyer Gary Jay Kaufman said his client is a legitimate businessman who “built a company from a garage into selling out football stadiums.” He and other defense lawyers said their clients are innocent of any wrongdoing. “We’re going to fight back,” said DeStefano’s lawyer, Michael Nasatir. “This guy is innocent. We’re going to show he’s innocent. They’re out of line.” Rotella’s company staged the infamous Electric Daisy Carnival in 2010 at which a teenage girl took an overdose of Ecstasy and later died. The event led to cancelling other raves at the Coliseum. “In the past, electronic music concerts, also known as raves, were generally conducted illegally, without permits and with rampant drug use,” prosecutors said in a motion opposing bail reduction. “More recently, their promoters have managed to bring the events to conventional venues but have faced resistance from the public due to continued drug use and other safety issues.”
Pope arrives in Mexico, denounces violence BY NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press SILAO, Mexico (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI began a pilgrimage to the New World on Friday calling on Mexicans to conquer an “idolatry of money” that feeds drug violence and urging Cuba to leave behind a Marxism that “no longer responds to reality.” Mexican President Felipe Calderon and first lady Margarita Zavala greeted the pope at the Guanajuato International Airport in Silao and escorted him along a red carpet amid a clanging of church bells and cheers from a crowd waving Vatican flags. “Benedict, brother, you are now Mexican,” people shouted in a warm welcome, complete with folkloric dance and mariachis, to a pope some consider distant and academic compared to his predecessor John Paul II, who was dubbed “Mexico’s pope” after making five trips to the country. Benedict descended the stairs without the cane he had used when he walked to the plane in Rome, the first time he had walked with it in public. “This is a proud country of hospitality and nobody feels like a stranger in your land. I knew that, now I see it and now I feel it in my heart,” the pope said to wild cheers. In a tarmac speech, Benedict referred again to the everyday violence that ordinary Mexicans confront, saying he was
praying for all in need “particularly those who suffer because of old and new rivalries, resentments and all forms of violence.” He said he was coming to Mexico as a pilgrim of hope, to encourage Mexicans to “transform the present structures and events which are less than satisfactory and seem immovable or insurmountable while also helping those who do not see meaning or a future in life.” After his Alitalia flight landed, the streets of nearby Leon, where the pope will stay, took on a carnival atmosphere, with thousands lining the 20-mile (32kilomter) route that Benedict traveled from the airport in the Popemobile. Some blocks exploded in yellow confetti as he passed. “Mexico is standing because we’re a country that perseveres with hope and solidarity, we’re a people with values and principals that believe in family, liberty, justice and democracy,” Calderon said in a speech on the tarmac to cheers of “Viva!” from the crowd. “Your visit fills us with joy in moments of great tribulation.” Many see his Latin America trip as a way to strengthen the faithful in a region where Catholicism has dropped over the decades, though not as dramatically as in Europe and elsewhere. “One sees in Latin America and also elsewhere, not a few Catholics who have a schizophrenia between individual and public morality,” the pope said earlier on the plane. “These individuals are

Cops involved in shootings got paid BY JERI CLAUSING Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police officers involved in a rash of fatal shootings over the past two years were paid up to $500 under a union program that some have likened to a bounty system in a department with a culture that critics have long contended promotes brutality. Mayor Richard Berry called Friday for an immediate halt to the practice, which was first reported in the Albuquerque Journal during a week in which Albuquerque police shot and killed two men. Since 2010, Albuquerque police have shot 23 people, 18 fatally. “The administration has nothing to do with how the union conducts their business,” Berry said in a statement, “but I was shocked yesterday when made aware of this practice. I cannot stand aside and condone this practice. It needs to end now.” Although the union said the payments were intended to help the officers decompress from a stressful situation, one victim’s father and a

So when they get in a situation, it’s who’s going to get him first? Who’s going to shoot him first?”
Maria Haberfeld, chair of the Department of Law & Police Science at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, said she found the program disturbing. “I’m not a psychologist. I’m a criminologist. But if you give somebody a monetary incentive to do their job, usually people are tempted by the monetary incentive,” she said. “To me, this is a violation of
professional ethics.” Other law enforcement officials called speculation of a bounty system ridiculous but acknowledged the payments could be poorly perceived. “Frankly, it’s insulting and very insensitive that somebody would believe that a police officer would factor in a payment for such a difficult decision,” said Joe Clure, president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association. Clure said his union gives officers who fire their guns in the line of duty a $25 dinner card and a few movie tickets. On rare occasions, the union will give as much as $500 for a hotel room and travel for an officer who is having an especially difficult time in the aftermath of a shooting, although he doesn’t recall that happening in about 10 years. In Idaho, State Police Cpl. Fred Rice, chairman of the Idaho State Police Association, said his organization made a conscious decision not to give cash or checks. “That would almost look like to me, if I gave every time an officer involved in a shooting a $500 check, someone might think, ‘Oh, that’s a quick way to make money,’” he said.

nant when I was 15 because my boyfriend wanted me to “prove” my love. I was afraid to tell my mom and in fact, I even thought of committing suicide. After exhausting all possible solutions, I finally went to my mom, and she was my very best friend. Instead of making me feel like a tramp, she was understanding, kind and did what she could to help me. A pregnant, scared, unwed teenage girl doesn’t need a lecture on what she did wrong. Believe me, she already knows. My life isn’t easy, and even though I am only 18 now, I feel much older and wiser. My son and I are now living with my parents, and I look to the future with much optimism. “Thanks, Mom!” — Samantha, Cumberland, Md. SAMANTHA: A pregnant, unwed teen might have a better person to turn to than her mother, but offhand, I can’t imagine who that person could be. Thanks for taking the time to help a fellow teen with excellent advice.

Education, business Minster Bank participates in leaders discuss work housing grant program force development NEW BREMEN — Guidance counselors from school districts in Mercer and Auglaize counties met recently with local economic development professionals, two chambers of commerce and local business leaders at the Education Center on the New Bremen campus of Crown Equipment Corp. Randy Niekamp, vice president-human resources at Crown, hosted the large group that assembled to discuss growing concerns regarding the local work force. “We’d like to be a part of a cooperative effort,” said Niekamp. “Schools, students and especially parents need to know what skills are needed by local businesses. Local businesses, including Crown, need to reach out to the community and educate parents about what we do and what kind of training people will need in order to fill openings.” Niekamp presented an overview of Crown that included a brief company history, along with a few YouTube videos highlighting various areas of Crown, including product design, engineering and skilled manufacturing. “If it’s Crown on the outside, it’s Crown on the inside,” said Niekamp. “Over 85 percent of the components that go into our lift trucks are made by Crown. In order to accomplish that level of vertical integration, we have over 800 unique job functions in the U.S. alone.” Crown employs more than 9,000 workers worldwide with more than 6,000 workers in the U.S. Crown is recognized as one of the largest manufacturers of lift trucks in the world. There is a common misperception that 8590 percent of high school graduates ought to pursue a four-year degree after high school. “We don’t necessarily need 85-90 percent of area students to go to college,” said Niekamp.
Although having students pursue college degrees is also very important to Crown’s future growth, that shouldn’t be the entire focus, according to Niekamp. “We also need plenty of students to go to Tri-Star and other vocational schools to pursue skilled trades such as welding, and the machine trades.” The Tri-Star Career Compact in St. Marys serves nine local school districts by providing vocational skills training such as machine trades, welding, construction trades and medical preparatory courses. Niekamp noted that more than 25 percent of Crown’s work force will be retiring in the next 10 years, requiring it to find skilled workers such as technicians, software developers, machinists, welders, engineers, computer programmers and electro-mechanical experts. Many of these roles can be filled by students coming out of oneand two-year technical training programs. They can then be employed and further developed into the necessary job functions. Often, students coming right out of a vocational training program can enter into a good-paying job with a local manufacturer. Other local organizations attempting to help connect employers with school officials, students and parents include local chambers of commerce and the West Central Ohio Workforce Development Initiative (WCOWDI). “What we really have here is a significant disconnect,” said Jared Ebbing, Mercer County economic development director. “Parents need to understand how many excellent, good paying jobs and careers there are in our area. What will our communities look like in 10 years if we don’t address these needs now and prepare our young people to enter the local work force?”

“The chamber of commerce can be a vital link between business, education and the community,” said Scott Frey, executive director of the Southwestern Auglaize County Chamber of Commerce. “We can help local businesses to engage with parents and students as they make decisions about their future. We’re working diligently to bring these groups together with events, student career development efforts and plenty of public outreach.” Frey noted that local service clubs can be especially helpful in connecting local businesses with the schools. Representatives of the CelinaMercer County Chamber of Commerce were on hand to offer their support as well. They are considering plans for a possible “business day” for students in Mercer County. When asked what the chambers could do to help, counselors responded by requesting that chambers work with many local businesses to set up “business/career fairs” and tours of local manufacturing facilities. “Anything you can help do to get the message out to parents and students that skilled trades and vocational skills are important for a successful career would be great,” said one counselor. “We need help reaching out to local businesses and to parents to get them engaged in this process.” Several counselors agreed, and noted that there is an “inaccurate stigma” among some parents associated with “dirty factory jobs.” “This meeting is just the beginning of what will be a long process,” said Ebbing. “We need to continue this dialogue and work together to educate our communities on all the amazing businesses and career opportunities that exist right here in our area.”

HOROSCOPE
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 Sunday, March 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Think up new ways of earning money, because this is possible today. Or you might see new uses for something you already own. (You’re very resourceful today.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take a realistic look in the mirror, and ask yourself how you can improve your image. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, right? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you dig deep today, you certainly will find secrets. At the very least, you will find answers that you’re looking for. Take advantage of this influence! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Frank, honest discussions with others, especially in group situations, can improve everything. It’s time to put your cards on the table. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see a better way of relating to someone in authority today. However, someone also might come on very strong to you! (It’s hard to see which way the wind will blow today.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re very eager to study something and learn more today. You have a strong desire to improve yourself through knowledge, travel or more exposure to the world. (Excellent!) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Fundraising or the ability to use something that somebody else owns can benefit you today. Think of how you can see new uses for other peo-
ple’s resources. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A frank discussion with partners and close friends can somehow improve these relationships today. The secret is you have to be willing to be honest and revealing. (And you’re very private.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look around you at work today, because you certainly can introduce improvements. Others are willing to listen to your bright ideas, if you have any. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Romance is very powerful today. Meanwhile, parents might see a better approach to how they will raise their children. (These things are possible today.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good day to clean up garbage areas, dark spaces or anything related to plumbing and bathrooms. Just roll up your sleeves and get busy. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re unusually convincing today! A planetary configuration is helping you convince others to listen too. Why not use this to your advantage? For starters, ask for what you want. YOU BORN TODAY You are goaloriented and aware of what you want to achieve in life. (And you go after it!) Another reason you’re successful is that you have boundless energy. You are very capable of looking after yourself; however, you value your friendships. In fact, you are very loyal, and, of course, expect loyalty in return! A lovely, social year that blesses relationships awaits you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) With lucky moneybags Jupiter still in your sign, you are blessed! This is a fortunate year for you, so make the most of it. (Good things easily come your way.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This year is unusually spiritual for you. Perhaps you will have experiences or meet teachers who inspire you. (Or perhaps you are coming to these new ideas all on your own.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work with others this year, because people can benefit you. Form working units or partnerships. Join clubs, groups and organizations. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is one of the best years in more than a decade for you to make a good name for yourself. This year (and next), many Leos will put their name up in lights. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Grab every chance to travel and explore educational opportunities. Publishing, the law, medicine and the media are areas where you can make great headway. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a wonderful year to benefit from others, and this includes banks. Ask for mortgages, loans or assistance, because you just might get it.

Romance could blossom with someone from another country or a different culture. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Look for real-estate opportunities to share. You can improve your home life, your home and certainly your family relationships. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a good year for you, because it’s easy for you to think positively! This is important, because you tend to materialize what you believe will actually happen. (This means your aptitude for visualization is powerful!) YOU BORN TODAY You are straightforward, simple and spontaneous. You have the direct honesty of a child. You like to work at your own pace, and often withdraw to do whatever involves you because you’re happy in your own solitude. You’re careful when choosing your friends. You’re also reliable and responsible. You will love your year ahead because you have an opportunity to discover or learn something important. Birthdate of: Martin Short, actor/comedian; Keira Knightley, actress; Robert Frost, poet.
Developmental disabilities board notes benefits of shared services The Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities recently discussed the benefits of shared services during a meeting with the Champaign County Board of Developmental Disabilities held with the Champaign County agency. Shelby County Superintendent Laura Zureich told the board that the ability to share services with the Champaign
County agency has benefited both agencies by reducing costs for the agencies and at the same time, they have been able to maintain a “high level” of service for both counties. During the meeting, the Shelby County board approved the following resolutions: • Ratifying the Southwestern Ohio Educational Purchasing Council agreement, which
terminates the existing agreement with Energy USA PTCTPC Corp. and enters an agreement with Constellation NewEnergy. • A resolution with Primary Solutions for an annual, nonexclusive, limited license to use software marketed under the name Gatekeeper. • An agreement with Cornerstone Rehabilitation LTD.,
a provider that offers therapy services as an independent contractor for health care facilities and organizations. • An agreement with S&H Products to contract for a parttime employment trainer for the remaining calendar year 2012, which is paid for with a Bridges Grant from the Rehabilitation Services Commission.
The board approved the administrative contract in a shared agreement with Champaign County through Jan. 31, 2013, for the position of service and support supervisor. The board approved administrative contracts in a shared agreement with Champaign County through June 30, 2017, for the positions of superintendent and business manager.

If the separation is only a crack in the bone, restricted activity and a knee brace are effective treatment and give the knee a chance to heal.

No. 1 vs. No. 2 for the title Tigers put perfect mark on the line today against defending champs
50 years ago March 24, 1962 Lillian Leugers blasted out a 540 series to pace second place Home Furniture to a 4-0 blanking of New Bremen Racing Association in the Women’s League at Ray Ann Lanes. And Lela Richcreek collected an outstanding 214 game and 504 set to help league leading Howell’s IGA to a 3-1 victory over Western Ohio Hardware. Ed Hemmelgarn latched onto a 226 game to pace Poultry Producers to a win over Versailles Enterprises at Del-Win Lanes.

Outstanding performby Brooke ances Roetgerman, Amy Miller and Stephanie Frye resulted in each girl becoming the 1987 all-around champion for their respective age group in the intermediate division. In the advanced division, Gail Freytag had an excellent meet to finish second in the allaround.
COLUMBUS — Postseason play began exactly one month ago in Division IV boys basketball, and it’s come down to No. 1 vs. No. 2 for the state championship. The pollsters got it right — so far. No. 1 Jackson Center, perfect so far at 27-0 and coming off back-to-back-to-back impressive wins in the regional tournament and the state semifinals, takes on 26-1 Berlin Hiland this morning at 10:30 at Value City Arena in Columbus. Hiland was No. 1 for much of the regular season until suffering a loss late in the year, allowing Jackson Center to move from No. 2 into the top spot. Now the two teams will settle it once and for all, and it should be a dandy. Hiland is the defending DIV state champion and is making its ninth appearance in the state tournament. The Hawks took care of Arlington in the semifinals Thursday, 46-37, to get to the championship. Jackson Center cruised through the regular season at 20-0, winning the County championship, then won the sectional at Piqua. The Tigers

JACKSON CENTER fans cheer their team on Thursday in the boys state semifinals. They will be at it again today when the Tigers go for the state championship. had to survive a genuine upset bid by a good Tri-Village team in the district championship, winning 50-45 in overtime. The Tigers then beat St. Henry 37-30 in the regional semifinals, and dominated Dayton Jefferson in the championship 50-37, holding the high-powered Broncos to just six points in the first half. On Thursday, the Tigers had to dig deep, falling behind 14-2 at the start against
Columbus Africentric, and trailing by as many as 15 points in the second quarter and 11 in the third quarter. But they held the Nubians to just eight fourth-quarter points and came from behind to win 53-50 to earn the school's third trip to the boys state tournament. Jackson won it all in 1985, and there’s a connection between that team and this one. Alex Meyer, who hit a mon-
ster three-pointer with 1:44 left to break a 48-48 tie Thursday, is the son of Tony Meyer, a standout on that 1985 team. Meyer had 16 in the win to lead the Tigers, hitting 4-for-7 from behind the arc, while Andy Hoying, the two-time County Player of the Year, had 15 points and eight rebounds. They will be challenged by the Hawks this morning. Hiland will start five seniors, and has plenty of size. Dylan Kaufman, who shared the Associated Press Player of the Year honors with Hoying, is a 6-foot-4 guard averaging 17.6 per game. He had 10 in the semifinals. Neil Gingerich is a 6-7 post player averaging 10 per game, and he came up big in the semifinal win, scoring 12 points, grabbing 13 rebounds (six offensive) and blocking seven shots. And at forward is Seyer Bonifant, also 6-7, and averaging 15.6 per game. The other two starters are 59 Chaise Gerber at 4.6 and 5-11 Jason Miller at 7.0 per game. Jackson is allowing just 40.3 points per game and Hiland 40.1.

Bobcats lose in overtime ST. LOUIS (AP) — Harrison Barnes scored five of his 12 points in overtime, and topseeded North Carolina held off Ohio 73-65 on Friday night to avoid a huge upset. The Bobcats, only the seventh team seeded 13th or worse to reach the regional semifinals, had a chance to convert a three-point play with 25 seconds left in regulation that would have given them the lead. Walter Offutt missed from the line, though, the only free throw the Bobcats botched all night. Then they went 0 for 6 from the field in overtime. Tyler Zeller finished with 20 points and 22 rebounds for North Carolina (32-5), which sorely missed dazzling point guard Kendall Marshall, who is day to day with a broken right wrist. Offutt led the 13th-seeded Bobcats (29-8) with 26 points, including 18 from 3-point range, and Nick Kellogg added 14. But D.J. Cooper, who had averaged 20 points in the first two NCAA tournament games, finished with just 10 on 3-of-20 shooting.

Xavier was hurt by poor to give the Bears their biggest
lead of the half at 65-54. Following a missed free throw by Lyons, Acy’s basket pushed the lead to 13 points ‚Äî too much for the Musketeers to overcome. Heslip surprised the Musketeers by scoring on two drives to the basket in the opening minutes. Heslip added a 3-pointer before a jumper by Quincy Miller stretched Baylor’s lead to 22-4. Xavier needed 10 minutes to reach double figures, but a flagrant one foul by Acy on Frease helped the Musketeers recover from their slow start. Acy, who scored a combined 11 points in the Bears’ first two wins in the tournament, knocked Frease to the floor when he hit the 7-foot center from behind with 5:08 remaining in the half. The officials reviewed a video replay before ruling on the severity of the foul. Frease made both free throws and then scored three seconds later as Xavier retained possession. It was the start of 13 unanswered points as Xavier cut Baylor’s lead from 33-16 to 33-29.

OHIO STATE'S Jared Sullinger, left, laughs as teammate Deshaun Thomas speaks during a news conference in Boston Friday. Ohio State will play Syracuse in an NCAA tournament East Regional final college basketball game on Saturday.
Buckeyes’ Thomas just loves to shoot BOSTON (AP) — Deshaun Thomas’ reputation as a shoot-first player is well known. Ohio State’s high-scoring forward even apologizes for it. “I love to score,” Thomas said Friday, one day after leading the Buckeyes with 26 points ‚Äî and no assists ‚Äî in their 81-66 win over Cincinnati that put them in Saturday night’s East Regional final against Syracuse. At Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, Ind., where he averaged 29.9 points per game in four years, “coaches had the ball in my hands 110 percent of the time. That’s what I do,” he said. “I love to score. I’m sorry.” No need to apologize. Without the sophomore, Ohio State would have had a much harder time the Elite reaching Eight for the first time in five years. He’s averaging 16.2 points per game this season but has just 33 assists in 37 games. “He came in with the mentality of being a scorer,” Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. “We’ve talked a lot to him about (how) there’s so many other ways that he can affect our team in a positive way.” • FAMILIAR FACE: As Ohio State made its run to the regional final, a lot of people saw a man in a suit on the Buckeyes bench and thought he looked familiar. Ohio State’s video coordinator is Greg Paulus, Duke’s point guard from 2006-09 and Syracuse’s quarterback — the football kind — as he pursued a Master’s degree in 2009. After one season as an assistant basketball coach at Navy, Paulus joined Thad Matta’s staff at Ohio State. Matta recruited Paulus out of high school when he was coaching at Xavier. Paulus, a three-year starter at Duke who appeared in four NCAA tournaments, played his final college basketball game at TD Garden, where the Buckeyes will play Syracuse on Saturday. The Blue Devils lost to Villanova 77-54 in the
NCAA
NOTEBOOK
East Regional semifinals in 2009. “I love watching football with him because he can tell you what’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen, why it’s going to happen, the coverages,” Matta said. “And I sat with him a couple times at Ohio State games this year and honestly learned a ton. He’s got a great mind, obviously, for the game of football. And I do know this: There was nobody rooting harder for Syracuse this year than he was. I think he feels like he’s been a great part of that program, and he loves the staff and his teammates.”
• BACKHANDED COMPLIMENT: Ohio State coach Thad Matta is a veteran college coach even though he’s only 44 years old. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, 67, graduated from the only school he has ever worked for in 1966, a year before Matta was born. So Matta’s backhanded compliment when he was asked about Syracuse’s program rang true. “I think when you look at coach Boeheim and the job he has done, I hate to say this, since I was a little kid, just watching Syracuse year in, year out, all the great players, all the great teams they’ve had,” Matta said.

CHRISTINE CLAYTON (left) and sister Sarah show off their paintings that recently took first and second in the Ohio Junior Federal Duck Stamp competition.
Local artists fare well in state contest Last Friday found two local artists in a most unusual situation at the final round of judging for the State of Ohio Junior Federal Duck Stamp competition in Westlake, near Cleveland. The annual contest takes place each year in March and is sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Christine and Sarah Clayton, daughters of Matt and Darlene Clayton of Sidney, had survived the grueling process of elimination from a field of over 500 entries. They remained among the top five as the judges began to determine the overall winner for the coveted title of “Best of Show.” Each judge was given a set of three cards labeled with a 3, 4, or 5 that would be used to signify their vote as the paintings were held up one by one for their inspection. Sarah’s painting of a drake canvasback duck was first up and immediately all five judges held up the number five for a total of 25 points. The next three entries all garnered numbers under Sarah’s score of 25. Lastly Christine’s entry depicting a pintail duck in flight was offered for the judge’s verdict which again found all five judges casting a number five vote in an unprecedented tie for Best of Show. “Now what do we do?” asked one of the judges with a raised brow. “We vote again” came the reply from Rebecca Hinkle, State Coordinator for the Junior Duck Stamp Program, and who oversees the contest. After a short break the judging resumed. There was excitement in the air as the judges took one last look before lining up in front of the table where the two remaining pieces of art lie. First up was Sarah’s canvasback; and up came the cards: 4, 4, 4, 5, 4 was the vote for a total of 21 points. Next was Christine’s pintail: 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, for a total of 24 points — Christine had won by a mere three points. After a momentary pause to comprehend the
numbers, and the outcome, the sisters shared and congratulations walked to the judges table for handshakes. Though some might consider it a bittersweet victory when your greatest competitor was your sister, the Clayton girls go to the contest with a unique attitude. Years before when facing the disappointment of losing to the competition, their father suggested if they wanted a better outcome the only thing to do was “paint good enough that you can’t be denied a shot for first place.” The Clayton girls took dad’s advice to heart and go to the contest every year with the very best they can do. The yearly contest has become a family affair with each member of the household investing time and energy into a project that pays dividends to all concerned. Each year has shown improvement and while Christine has two Ohio “Best of Show” winners and three years experience over little sister, the last two years have found Sarah a little closer to an overall win. One never knows what the competition will bring, unless of course it’s from the same house. Having tied Christine for Best of Show gave Sarah a solid second place overall in the state contest. Christine’s artwork will now go to compete in the National Junior Duck Stamp Contest to be held April 20 at Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, Md. A panel of five judges will examine 53 “Best of Show” art pieces from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. One piece of art will be selected as the top winner and will be made into the 20122013 Junior Duck Stamp. The top three art winners and top “conservation message” winner each receive cash prizes. For more information about the Junior Duck Stamp program, go to http://www.fws.gov/juniorduck/ The contest will be featured live stream for those who would like to see how things play out on April 20.

Right to Read Children’s author Christopher Canyon, of Columbus, talks to Emerson Elementary School students during a Right to Read Week assembly Wednesday. A different theme was observed each day, with students encouraged to wear clothing to coordinate with the theme.
Proposed changes to grading system reviewed BY KATHY LEESE ANNA — The Anna Local Schools Board of Education heard a report about proposed changes to Ohio’s grading system and heard updates on student activities during its recent meeting. Andy Bixler, superintendent, told the board about a proposal that will result in changes in the way students are graded. Under the current system, student grades are rated as excellent, excellent with distinction and others. Under the new system, students would have grades of A, B, C, D and F. The proposal is part of a state request for a federal waiver from the requirements of No Child Left Behind.
board absorbed overhead costs associated with administration. Raberding told the board that he recently attended a meeting of the Young Farmers and learned about a local wind turbine farm. The board heard a report from Tim Zimpher and Michelle Brunson on the Anna Agricultural Education program, including upcoming changes in course curriculum. Zimpher and Brunson also reported on the positive results of the students farming the school-owned field.
Facility projects Bixler updated the board on facility projects, including the elementary roof replacement and an energy-savings project to upgrade the heating and air controls at the middle school and high school. Bixler gave a report on the proposed changes to the board’s policy manual as a result of recent legislation. The board adopted the policies. The board heard a report on the school musical, “State Fair,” that was presented recently at Anna High School. The musical was described as an “outstanding production” that featured more than 80 students in the cast, stage crew, pit orchestra and production staff. The board approved a trip for the high school band to travel to Ball State University in April for a concert.
Vacancies The board heard a report from the elementary school that the school is in the process of filling teaching vacancies for fifth grade and kindergarten. The board also heard a report on the progress of the special-needs unit at the elementary school. Dennis Raberding, school treasurer, gave the board a report on special education costs for the Anna school system over the past few years. In the last couple of years, there has been a “significant” decrease in expenditures as the

QUINCY — At its meeting, Tuesday, Quincy Village Council upped the cost of building permits. The action increases the cost of building permits to $20 at the recommendation of Zoning Officer Robert Smith. They had formerly cost $10. The council also approved the village’s 2012 appropriations ordinance. Due to a loss of the 2-mill operating levy, the village’s first-half real estate tax revenues were down $4,934.08. Members discussed how the 2013 projection for village finances may require more cuts. However, for the first time in five years, the carry-over to 2012 was $25,000, which helps the village operate this year.

School presentation marks Council decides Disability Awareness Month not to hire firm NEW BREMEN — Barb Hamburg’s St. Marys Memorial Middle School classroom was the setting recently for classroom presentations by clients from Auglaize Industries who helped to kick off National Disability Awareness Month. Students listened to life stories and experiences that were presented by workshop employees Lisa Street, Mick Jaynes and Annette Hines. Through their questions and conversations, students gained a better understanding of the needs and dreams of some of Auglaize County’s adults
with developmental disabilities. Jaynes, who is blind, shared his frustrations with trying to learn Braille along with other experiences while attending the Indiana School for the Blind as a young child. He later entertained students with his ability to recall musicians and songs from the past four decades and shared a couple of songs a capella style as students listened. Hines and Street talked about being challenged by bullies in the public school system as they were growing up. As successful middle-age
women, they hold no grudges and are thankful today for their various workshop jobs as well as the chance to live in their own homes and apartments in the community. The classroom presentations wrapped up with wheelchair races, where each student had a chance to experience an important piece of adaptive equipment that enables many adults with disabilities to engage in more normalized lives. Similarly, in recognition of Disability Awareness Month, Ball State University conducted a wheelchair competition on
Tuesday in the Ball State University gymnasium. The event was titled, “Ball State’s Adapted Physical Activity Club Wheelchair Slalom Event,” which invited students with, as well as those without, physical disabilities. Disabled Students in Action co-sponsored the event. The Auglaize Industries one-hour disability awareness presentation is available to classrooms throughout Auglaize County and can be scheduled any time during the school year. Call Adult Services Director Greg Ferrall at (419) 629-3603 for scheduling.
Village offered energy-saving program MINSTER — Minster Village Council members heard about ways local residents can save energy and approved a $2.2 million capital improvement loan during their meeting recently. Damon Knight, Efficiency Smart Community and Small Business representative, introduced himself to council members and stated that he likes to visit communities and small businesses to explain the benefits available from Efficiency Smart. The company provides technical assistance and financial incentives to customers who are part of participating utilities. Customers can be eligible for rebates. The company can assist customers with the cost of making energy-efficient improvements. Knight told council members that an online store is available to help customers purchase energy-efficient lighting and appliances. Efficiency Smart is administered by Vermont Energy Investment Corp. through a contract with American Municipal Power Inc. Council approved a five-year, $2.2 million capital improvement loan note. Minster Bank submitted a 1.75 percent interest rate on the loan and US Bank submitted a 1.96 percent interest rate. Council awarded the note to Minster Bank. Council had balanced the 2012
budget based on securing a $2.2 million loan. The loan will be used to pay for the Fourth Street construction and the wastewater treatment plant construction. Council heard that Minster residents now have an opportunity to visit the new village website. Among the resources that can be found on the website are online ball park scheduling, online shelter house reservations, the Town Crier blog, an extensive business directory, a Minster photo gallery, a site to report problems quickly and the branded images for local residents and businesses to use to help make the public aware of the Minster brand. The website is located at www.minsteroh.com. Village officials are working with Midnet Media to continue improving the website. Don Harrod, village administrator, told council members that the phone company has been in town making terminations on the underground wiring for the Fourth Street project. The Minster Electric Department was to remove the overhead wires and poles and expected to have that completed before Brumbaugh Construction returned this week. Village personnel are continuing to work at the West Industrial Park. The crews have finished the
installation of utilities at the park and will begin to regrade the street and begin hauling gravel for the street base. Harrod reported that reservations for the shelter house began on March 1 and local residents can reserve the shelter for 2012. Those interested can go to the village office to reserve the shelter or can go to the village’s new website to make a reservation. The village is reminding residents who had sidewalks replaced in 2011 as part of the sidewalk replacement project that they had until March 1 to pay for the replacements. Residents who did not pay by that date will have the cost assessed to their property taxes. Council plans to present an ordinance authorizing an assessment of the costs at a council meeting in the near future. Harrod reported that on Feb. 27, the village of New Bremen requested that the valve controlling the water line tie between Minster and New Bremen be opened due to a fire in New Bremen. The valve was opened at approximately 8:30 p.m. and remained open for approximately 3 1/2 hours. Harrod stated he believed this was only the second time that the water tie has been used by either Minster or New Bremen.

Storm sewer project Council also discussed the Lions Club storm sewer improvement project. The engineer’s estimate is $38,335. Village Administrator Wayne York is to contact Auglaize County to see if it might be interested. A first reading was approved to amend the payroll ordinance for David Goodwin to retire Friday as public works worker II and be rehired as superintendent of the wastewater plant. Current superintendent Jerry Fishbach retires Friday. New Bremen will have an intern from Wright State University to assist the economic development director. Council approved the move to assist in developing the village’s social networking capabilities at no cost to the village. Also at the meeting, Mayor Jeffrey Pape announced an upcoming Auglaize County Health District meeting Monday at 8 a.m. He also commended the New Bremen Fire Department for a job well done in controlling and extinguishing the fire at the Opera House.
Council deals with abandoned bike on the availability of cold mix. He reported the county has some if the village has needs. Mayor Jeffrey Leffel reported the village administrator had recently participated in an economic development meeting in Detroit. He promoted the New Knoxville area to a number of companies at the meeting. The next meeting of council is April 10 at the municipal building.
NEW KNOXVILLE — New Knoxville Village Council recently approved bills and dealt with the issue of an abandoned bicycle. Council member Andrew Roettger reported that a bicycle had been found in the creek last year and stored by the police department since then. Council approved the disposal of the bicycle. Councilman Robert Jaynes updated council

Resolutions passed Council also suspended the three-reading rule to pass several resolutions. The first resolution increased by $3,000 the 2009 contract amount with Eagon and Associates for hydrogeologic consulting services to assist in developing additional sources of ground water supply. The amended contract is for $20, 932. In a related matter, council approved a new contract at a cost not to exceed $23,837. The purchase of a backhoe from Murphy Tractor & Equipment of Lima was approved at a cost of $49,214, with the trade-in to be paid from the income tax fund. The income tax fund is also to cover the $19,094 purchase of a commercial front mower from Koenig Equipment of Botkins. Council members saved $8,463.30 when they voted to decrease a change order for the Bear Drive reconstruction project. The reduced contract sum is $497,702.20. The third reading of a resolution to authorize a contract with the New Bremen Emergency Squad in the amount of $15,000 was tabled until accountability issues are resolved. Council members asked New Bremen Emergency Squad President Bob Parker to attend the next council meeting to resolve issues.

NEW BREMEN — New Bremen Village Council bowed to the wishes of the vocal public at a recent meeting and decided not to hire National Inspection Corp. (NIC), an out-of-town property maintenance firm, to handle property maintenance for the village. Council members and the mayor reported receiving many negative comments from citizens and decided not to engage NIC as originally planned. Instead, the mayor will seek recommendations from the firm for improvements to the current property maintenance code.

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

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