Ammo flying off shelves BY MICHAEL VIRTANEN The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gun enthusiasts fearful of new weapon controls and alarmed by rumors of government hoarding are buying bullets practically by the bushel, making it hard for stores nationwide to keep shelves stocked and even putting a pinch on some local law enforcement departments. At a 24-hour Walmart in suburban Albany, the ammunition cabinet was threefourths empty this week; sales clerks said customers must arrive before 9 the morning after a delivery to get what
they want. A few miles away, Dick’s Sporting Goods puts up a red rope after ammunition deliveries so buyers can line up early to get a number, averting races up the escalator to the gun counter. Both stores are limiting ammunition purchases to three boxes a day. In mid-January, two days after New York became the first state to toughen laws post-Newtown, hunter and target shooter Mark Smith spent $250 to stockpile ammunition, including $43 for a brick of 500 .22-caliber bullets, commonly used for target shooting and hunting small game.

BY CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Roger Ebert had the most-watched thumb in Hollywood. With a twist of his wrist, the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic rendered decisions that influenced a nation of moviegoers and could sometimes make or break a film. The heavy-set writer in the horn-rimmed glasses teamed up on television with Gene Siskel to create a format for criticism that proved enormously appealing in its simplicity: uncomplicated reviews
that were both intelligent and accessible and didn’t talk down to ordinary movie fans. Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, died Thursday at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, two days after announcing on his blog that he was undergoing radiation treatment for a recurrence of cancer. He was 70. “So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.” Ebert wrote Tuesday on his blog. See EBERT/Page 5

A Sidney woman was sentenced in Shelby County Common Pleas Court Thursday to four years in prison after setting fire to the duplex she lived in — twice. Shawna Danielle Pellman, 30, 215 Pike St., entered a plea of guilty to the amended charge of aggravated arson, a felony of the second degree, in January. Two additional charges were dismissed by the state. She was sentenced by Judge James Stevenson Thursday to four years in prison, with credit for 177 days served, ordered to pay restitution of $54,110 plus costs, and will be place on probation for three years following her release. Pellman was originally indicted for two counts of aggravated arson, first-degree felonies, and attempted aggravated arson, a second-degree felony, for twice setting fire to the duplex in which she resided, 633 N. West Ave., in October 2012 while her neigh-
bor Melissa Allen was at home and, therefore, endangered by the action. Officers reported that Pellman was suicidal when taken into custody in October, and when she was interviewed following the incident, she reportedly admitted to setting the fire. Pellman initially stood mute to the three charges against her at her arraignment, and the judge entered a not guilty plea on her behalf. She later wrote a letter to the court stating that she did not understand the seriousness of her actions and was only intending to hurt herself. She entered a written plea of not guilty by reason of insanity in December, but after a mental evaluation, she was found competent to stand trial. Pellman and her attorney negotiated a plea deal, agreeing to pay restitution to the property owner, Doug Liette, and Melissa Allen, in exchange for one charge being reduced and two others being dropped.

NEW KNOXVILLE — The New Knoxville Historical Society will hold its annual meeting on Thursday at the Ministry Center of the First United Church of Christ in New Knoxville. As advertised the evening will begin with a German buffet at 6 p.m. This part of the evening is only available to ticket holders, and all tickets for this buffet have been sold out. A brief business meeting will be held at approximately at 7 p.m. followed by Dr. Don Tolzmann’s power point presentation on the German immigration and heritage in western Ohio. Since many area residents’ ancestors migrated to this area through Cincinnati via the Miami-Erie Canal, historical society board members feel Tolzmann’s information will be of interest to many in the area. Anyone, friend or member, may attend this part of the evening free of charge. Those people wishing to hear Tolzmann may arrive at the Ministry Center around 7 p.m.

No sign of alcohol for 6 teens killed in crash WARREN (AP) — A sport utility vehicle sped down a two-lane Ohio road at nearly twice the speed limit before a crash that killed six teenagers last month, and their toxicology tests have turned up no sign of alcohol or drugs, authorities said Thursday as they worked to wrap up the investigation. A crash reconstruction revealed the SUV was traveling between 62 mph and 70 mph on a 35-mph road before it flipped into a pond in a dark, unlit area in Warren on March 10, killing the 19-year-old driver and five of the seven boys riding with her, State Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt said. None of them was wearing a seatbelt. Investigators determined that the teens had been at various houses in Warren in the hours before the early morning crash and that the 19-year-old, Alexis
Cayson, had been driving the SUV on and off throughout the night with teenage passengers, including some who weren’t involved in the crash, and had been driving recklessly. “We know she was reckless and erratic. … Kind of the whole night was just a joyriding situation,” Holt said. It’s unclear what the teens were doing at the houses they visited, and investigators have to rely on the toxicology results, he said. Drug tests for Cayson and three boys who died found no sign of drugs. Results aren’t complete for two more boys who died and two who survived, according to the patrol. All eight teens were from Warren, a mostly blue-collar city about 50 miles southeast of Cleveland. Grieving relatives and friends had hoped the Thursday update from authorities would
provide some answers. “It’s still an open wound,” Holt said. “This will be, hopefully, one step toward that closure that’s needed for the families and for the community.” The update addressed some of the lingering questions about the circumstances of the crash, but other points remain unsettled, including exactly why the driver lost control of the SUV, which was later reported stolen. Investigators found no evidence that anyone interfered with Cayson’s driving in a way that would have caused her to lose control. She didn’t have a valid license. One of the boys who wriggled out of the wreckage, 15-year-old Asher Lewis, told a state trooper that Cayson had been swerving and speeding and said he believed she did it intentionally, though he wasn’t sure why.

Report: Ohio courts illegally jailing the poor COLUMBUS (AP) — Several courts in Ohio are illegally jailing people because they are too poor to pay their debts and often deny defendants a hearing to determine if they’re financially capable of paying what they owe, according to an investigation released Thursday by the Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU likens the problem to modern-day debtors’ prisons. Jailing people for debt pushes poor defendants farther into poverty and costs counties more than the actual debt because of the cost of arresting and incarcerating individuals, the report said. “The use of debtors’ prison is an outdated and destructive practice that has wreaked havoc upon the lives of those profiled in this report and thousands of others throughout Ohio,” the report said.
Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor of the Ohio Supreme Court, responding to the ACLU’s request to take action, promised to review the findings. O’Connor told the group in a letter Wednesday: “you do cite a matter that can and must receive further attention.” The report says courts in Huron, Cuyahoga, and Erie counties are among the worst offenders. Among the report’s findings: • In the second half of last year, more than one in every five of all bookings in the Huron County jail — originating from Norwalk Municipal Court cases — involved a failure to pay fines. • In suburban Cleveland, Parma Municipal Court jailed at least 45 defendants for failure to pay fines and costs be-

Judge Deanna O’Donnell of Parma Municipal Court said Thursday the court was unaware of the issue until contacted earlier this week by the ACLU. She said officials were examining the 45 cases in question. “If there’s an issue here, a problem, we’re going to correct it,” O’Donnell said. Messages left for Norwalk and Sandusky municipal court officials Thursday weren’t immediately returned. The ACLU also sent letters to officials at Bryan, Richland County and Hamilton County municipal courts and Springboro Mayor’s Court.

AKRON (AP) — A self-styled street preacher was sentenced to death Thursday in the killings of three downand-out men lured by bogus job offers posted on Craigslist. The jury that convicted Richard Beasley of murder recommended that he face execution. The judge had the option of reducing the sentence to life in prison. Beasley, 53, was convicted of teaming up with a teenager in 2011 to use the promise of jobs on a southeast Ohio farm to lure them into robberies. Three men were killed, and a fourth who was wounded testified at Beasley’s trial. The judge read the three death sentences in a hushed courtroom crowded with victims’ relatives, some of them holding back tears. Beasley skipped the chance to speak to the judge before the sentencing on the aggravated murder convictions. He listened to the verdict with his head on his chest, sitting in a wheelchair he uses for back pain. Later, about to be sentenced on other crimes including kidnapping, Beasley said he sympathized with the families of victims but said he
was innocent and expects to have his conviction overturned on appeal. “I have killed nobody, and that’s a fact,” Beasley said. “This case will be reversed,” said Beasley, whose statement was cut short by the judge. She said he could comment on the sentencing only. co-defenBeasley’s dant, who was 16 at the time of the crimes, was too young to face the death penalty. Brogan Rafferty was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole on his conviction last year. One victim was killed near Akron, and the others were shot at a southeast Ohio farm during bogus job interviews. The slain men were Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron; David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Va.; and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon. All were looking for a fresh start in life, prosecutors said repeatedly during the trial. The survivor, Scott Davis, now 49, testified that he heard the click of a gun as he walked in front of Beasley at the reputed job site. Davis, who was shot in an arm, knocked the weapon aside, fled into the woods and tipped police.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Plain Dealer in Cleveland announced Thursday that it is cutting back home delivery of the newspaper to three days a week. The Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest daily, will be delivered on Sunday and two other still unspecified days of the week beginning in late summer, publisher Terry Egger said in a news release. The newspaper will still be printed every day and be available for purchase at thousands of outlets in northeast Ohio. A new digitally focused media company called Northeast Ohio Media Group will be started this summer, the news release said. The organization will be responsible for all ad sales and marketing for The Plain Dealer and oversee the operation of Cleveland.com website and Sun News, a chain of weekly newspapers. The Northeast Ohio Media Group and The Plain Dealer Publishing Company will provide content for all print and digital platforms. “These actions are aimed at driving innovation, capitalizing on the tremendous strengths of our existing organizations, preserving highquality journalism and marketing solutions, and providing greater efficiency and flexibility in serving Northeast Ohio through print and digital applications,” Egger said in the release. The newspaper, which has a weekday circulation of about 286,400, is owned by New Yorkbased Advance Publications Inc. Other Advance papers, such as the Times-Picayune in New Orleans and The Birmingham News in Alabama, have cut back their publishing schedules to three days a week.

Bar hopping goat had been stolen BUTTE, Mont. (AP) — So the goat that walked into a Montana bar last weekend ... was stolen from a petting zoo. Fairmont Hot Springs Resort general manager Steve Luebeck says staffers knew the goat was missing but didn't realize it had been stolen until they saw a story in The Montana Standard on Wednesday reporting that a goat had been taken into a Butte bar early Sunday. The pygmy goat, named “Shirley,” was returned to the resort's petting zoo. Luebeck tells The Standard he has never had an animal stolen from the zoo, which has goats and miniature horses. He says zoo managers would like to know who took the animal so they can press charges.

Conn. gun law seen as AMMO model for Congress
From Page 1
BY SUSAN HAIGH The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed into law sweeping new restrictions on weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines Thursday in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, a bipartisan deal that gun control proponents hope will spark action in Washington and state legislatures across the country. Just four months ago, the governor broke the news to shocked parents that their children had been slaughtered in the Newtown school. On Thursday, four of those parents joined him as he signed the bill into law during a somber ceremony at the state Capitol, his
act giving Connecticut some of the toughest gun control laws in the country. Malloy hugged each of the parents and gave them a pen he used to sign the bill. “We have come together in a way that relatively few places in our nation have demonstrated an ability to do,” he said. Since the Dec. 14 shooting in which 20 children and six educators were killed, some of their family members have become accidental gun control advocates, pressing for both tougher state and federal laws. “This is a path I never thought my life would take. But working to save the lives of others is one way that I can honor Dylan’s life,” said Nicole
Hockley, referring to her 6year-old son who was killed at Sandy Hook. “We want Newtown to be known not for our tragedy but for transformation.” Malloy said he’s become friends with some of the parents and promised to keep working with them to enact further law changes that address gun violence. “Today does not mark the end of our efforts,” Malloy said. Malloy and gun control advocates said they hope the new law, crafted by legislative leaders from both parties during several weeks of negotiations, coupled with President Barack Obama’s planned visit to the state Monday, will spur action in Washington.

“I had a feeling there was going to be a huge ammunition shortage,” said Smith, browsing shotgun shells this week at Dick’s. “Especially .22s. It’s probably the most popular round out there.” Likewise, the .223 ammunition used in popular semiautomatic rifles is hard to find. At Hunter’s Haven, a stripmall gun shop in the farming community of Rolesville, N.C., north of Raleigh, clerk Dean Turnage said ammunition is going out “as fast as we can get it in,” even though new gun controls are not on the state’s agenda. The run started in November with President Barack Obama’s re-election, followed by the mass shooting in December of children in Newtown, Conn., which led the president to launch an effort to strengthen federal gun controls and several states to tighten their laws. Connecticut on Thursday became the latest to crack down as the governor signed a measure — effective immediately — that adds more than 100 firearms to the state’s assault weapons ban, creates a dangerous weapon offender registry and institutes eligibility rules for ammunition purchases.

EBERT Despite his wide influence, Ebert considered himself “beneath everything else a fan.” “I have seen untold numbers of movies and forgotten most of them, I hope, but I remember those worth remembering, and they are all on the same shelf in my mind,” Ebert wrote in his 2011 memoir titled “Life Itself.” After cancer surgeries in 2006, Ebert lost portions of his jaw and the ability to eat, drink and speak. But he went back to writing full time and eventually even returned to television. In addition to his work for the Sun-Times, he became a prolific user of social media, connecting with hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook and Twitter. Ebert’s thumb — pointing up or down — was his trademark. It was the main logo of the long-running TV shows Ebert co-hosted, first with Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune and — after Siskel’s death in 1999 — with SunTimes colleague Richard Roeper. A “two thumbs-up” accolade was sure to find its way into the advertising for the movie in question. The nation’s best-known movie reviewer “wrote with passion through a real knowledge of film and film history,
From Page 1 and in doing so, helped many movies find their audiences,” director Steven Spielberg said. His death is “virtually the end of an era, and now the balcony is closed forever.” In early 2011, Ebert launched a new show, “Ebert Presents At the Movies.” The show had new hosts and featured Ebert in his own segment, “Roger’s Office.” He used a chin prosthesis and enlisted voice-over guests or his computer to read his reviews. Fans admired his courage, but Ebert told The Associated Press that bravery had “little to do with it.” “You play the cards you’re dealt,” Ebert wrote in an email in January 2011. “What’s your choice? I have no pain. I enjoy life, and why should I complain?” Always modest, Ebert had Midwestern charm but stuck strongly to his belief that critics honestly tell audiences “how better to invest two hours of their lives.” On the air, Ebert and Siskel bickered like an old married couple and openly needled each other. To viewers who had trouble telling them apart, Ebert was known as the fat one with glasses, Siskel as the thin, bald one.

Public health is in every corner of our homes. It’s in the safe food in the fridge, the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors affixed to the ceiling, and the child-proof latches that keep dangerous chemicals out of little hands. Home is also where we learn healthy behaviors, such as eating right and exercising. Good prevention starts at home. Did You Know? The majority of firerelated deaths happen at home. In 2010 in the United States, someone died in a fire every 169 minutes and someone was injured every 30 minutes. About twothirds of home fire deaths happened in homes without working smoke alarms. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among people ages 65 and older. Each year, one out of every three adults ages 65 and older experiences a fall. In 2010, falls resulted in $30 billion in direct medical costs. Nine out of every 10 childhood poison exposures happens at home, with medications being

among the top culprits. More than half of all swimming pool drownings among children could have been prevented with appropriate fencing that completely separates the pool from the house and yard. Many more efforts are needed to help all families and households adequately prepare for natural disasters and other emergencies, such as having a three-day supply of water and a written evacuation plan. Fewer than 15 percent of adults and 10 percent of adolescents eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables each day. What Public Health Teaches Us Start small . . . Smoke alarms can double your chance of surviving a fire, so install alarms on every floor of your home and test that they’re working monthly. While you’re at it, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every floor of your home as well. Help prevent fires — as well as serious health problems and chronic diseases — by making your home tobacco- and smoke-free. Keep potentially dangerous household products, such as cleaning products, cosmetics and prescription medica-
tions, locked up and out of children’s reach. Also, never store household chemicals in old food containers or in the same place you keep food items. Learn more at www.upandaway.org. Gather your household for a night of emerpreparedness: gency Make plans for putting together an emergency stockpile kit, create a crisis communication plan, designate an emergency meeting place and hold household emergency drills. Put this number on your fridge and in your cell phone: 1-800-2221222. It will automatically connect you to your regional poison control center and often life-saving information. Put up four-sided fencing that’s at least five feet high with selflatching gates around swimming pools to protect children from injury. Assess your home, or the home of a loved one, for factors that could contribute to a fall, such as poor lighting, uneven flooring and clutter. Stock your kitchen with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and cut down on highsugar and high-fat items. Learn about proper food handling and cooking techniques to avoid food-borne illness.
Learn how to properly dispose of unused medications. Think big . . . Help organize a yoga or Tai Chi class for older adults to help improve balance and prevent falls. Organize a community fire safety event with the local fire department. Get involved in community efforts addressing the growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse, such as promoting drug take-back events. Spread the word about emergency preparedness at your children’s school, your parents’ retirement community and the other places you spend time. Volunteer to help these places assess their readiness and start planning. Promote awareness of how local public health systems keep communities healthy at home, such as keeping our food and water safe. Encourage residents and leaders to take a moment to imagine how dramatically our lives would change if that system disappeared. Let your key decision-makers know that you support public health and prevention. There is much more you can do to ensure a safe and healthy home for you and your family.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fair Haven staff praised Amazing day recalled
SPEAK OUT
To the editor: I want to commend some wonderful people from a church in Anna, possibly their youth group. They came out Saturday night and placed what seemed like hundreds of plastic eggs filled with candy and money for my kids all over the yard, front, back, as well as on both sides. I couldn’t even walk in my yard without stepping on these eggs. Off to the side of my house was a big Easter basket filled with candy and a card. The card had a Bible verse written in it and wished us a happy Easter. Taped on the side was a gift card for $50 to Frisch’s. I want to express my gratitude to whoever these wonderful people are who surprised me to no end and made my kids’ Easter the best day of their lives, or so they said to me while picking up all those eggs. Things like this just never happen to me and it blows me away. I need to let them know how much it was appreciated — not only by my kids but by me as well. This has been the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. Charity King 206 Meadowview Lane Anna

To reflect an increase in the state minimum wage, the base pay for lifeguards was increased to $7.85 per hour and the pay rates for the pool manager and assistant manager also were adjusted. The

BULLETIN BOARD
Summer program teaches kids about law DAYTON — The Law and Leadership Institute LLC (LLI) is now accepting applications for the 2013 Summer Institute. The application process is open to current eighth grade students. Applications may be submitted online and are due and must be postmarked by April 15. LLI seeks to provide an opportunity for students from underserved communities to learn skills that may help them become lawyers and leaders in their communities. The program enriches high school instruction through a four-year academic program in law, leadership, analytical thinking, problem solving, writing skills and professionalism. LLI began in 2008 as a summer program at law schools in two cities serving 40 students. It has evolved into a year-round program at law schools in six cities serving more than 400 high school students. LLI currently operates on eight of Ohio’s nine law school campuses in Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo and is the product of a collaboration between the nine Ohio law schools, the Ohio Supreme Court, the Ohio State Bar Association and the Ohio Center for LawRelated Education. Once accepted, rising freshman students will begin the five-week program on June 24. The program will culminate with a Mock Trial competition on July 26, featuring students from LLI program locations across the state. LLI’s Summer Institute serves as a free bridge program for students progressing from middle school to high school. In addition to the academic enrichment, leadership training, legal curriculum, daily professional speakers and field trips, students are provided free lunch and healthy snacks throughout their program day. Free transportation, on local public transportation routes, is also provided. The Law and Leadership Institute, LLC is made possible, in part, by grants from the Ohio State Bar Foundation, the Law School Admission Council, and other public and private donors.

Report card shows statewide improvement After a lengthy delay, the state recently released Ohio’s 2011-12 State Report Card, and the results show that Ohio schools are making steady academic gains as a new era of accountability approaches. The state’s schools registered improvements in 14 of 26 indicators and met the state’s performance goal on 21 out of the 26 indicators. There were especially strain gains in eighth-grade math and science. The number of districts and schools exceeding expected growth in the value-added category also grew significantly. “We congratulate Ohio’s students, family and educators for making continued, solid academic progress,” said Acting Superintendent of Public Instruction Michael L. Sawyers. “But we will need to set the bar higher to ensure that all of our students are prepared for a future that will demand higher skills. Ohio’s minimal competency system must continue to reform for Ohio’s students to be com-
petitive with their peers.” Shelby County and its surrounding school districts showed up strong in this year’s evaluation, with every one of the reader areas 13 school districts being designated Effective or better. New Knoxville and Versailles school districts both garnered an Excellent with Distinction designation — the highest possible. The combination of the four measures — indicators, performance index, adequate yearly progress and valueadded — is the basis for assigning state designations to districts. The six designations are Excellent with Distinction, Excellent, Effective, Continuous Improvement, Academic Watch and Academic Emergency. Anna, Botkins, Fairlawn, Fort Loramie, Russia, Minster and New Bremen all earned an Excellent designation. Hardin-Houston, Jackson Center, Sidney and Riverside all ranked as Effective. Ohio’s accountability system will be changing in
2013. Starting this fall, the state will begin a transition to a new era of district and school performance reporting that will include an easy-to-understand A-F grading system. The new report cards will take a broader look at the key indicators of school effectiveness and will be based on standards that ensure all students graduate ready for college and careers. The current state-level totals include results for nine districts that was identified in February by the Auditor of State as showing evidence that they “scrubbed” attendance data to potentially improve their report card results. the 2012 and 2011 reports cards for those districts and all of their schools have had a watermark added, indicating that the results are subject to change pending further investigation by the Ohio Department of Education. The release of the final 2011-12 State Report Card was scheduled for August 2012 but was postponed
pending the conclusion of the investigation by the auditor’s office. The information released this year includes new ranking reports as stipulated in state law and Ohio’s May 2012 waiver from the U.S. Department of Education from certain elements of the No Child Left Behind Act. This report can be found at www.reportcard.ohio.gov and includes: • A list of 90 school that have demonstrated either “High Progress” or “High Performance” while serving a significant number of economically disadvantaged students. • A ranking of schools and districts based on Performance Index scores. The index looks at the performance of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. • A ranking of districts based on Value-Added results, which show whether students meet the expected one year of growth for students in grades 4-8 in reading and math.
Lehman kids teach kids about energy For the sixth consecutive year, students at Lehman Catholic High School have been actively involved with the Ohio Energy Project (OEP). OEP helps provide families with objective and comprehensive information on the sources and forms of energy, energy efficiency, and conservation and the economic and environmental impact of energy use. OEP is designed to help prepare high school students to become energy leaders through a unique program that uses the philosophy of “Kids Teaching Kids.” Trained high school student leaders teach students in grades 3 through 8 about energy and energy efficiency. Activities include riding an energy bike, exploring various alternative energy sources, making sense of sound and heat and light, learning how to conserve energy, and making a home more energy efficient. In small groups, students are led through a variety of hands-on games to explain the various concepts. To prepare for their roles, the Lehman OEP team attended an Energy Summit held at the Dayton Power and Light Co.’s MacGregor Park facility in Dayton on Jan. 24. It was at the En-

Lehman invited sixthgrade students from their partner schools — Holy Angels, Piqua Catholic, Holy Rosary School (St. Marys), Immaculate Conception (Celina), St. Mary (Greenville) and St. Patrick (Troy) — to attend a Mini Energy Fair as part of Sixth-Grade Visitation Day at Lehman on Jan. 29. The Sixth-Grade Visitation Day is held annually during Catholic Schools Week. Seventeen Lehman students were then part of the leadership team for an Energy Fair held at the University of Dayton for
approximately 450 Daytonarea school children. The high school students taught the younger students how to save and conserve energy and how they can help their parents become more energy efficient. “The purpose of OEP is to empower students to take part in energy conservation,” said Tracy Hall, Lehman science teacher and adviser of Lehman’s OEP team. “Both the high school students and the ones they teach benefit from this knowledge. After all, they are the ones who are going to make a difference in the use of our planet’s resources in the future.” Members of the 2012-13 Lehman OEP team are
Michael Jacob, Ellie Waldsmith, Samantha Neumeier, Louis Gaier, Pierce Bennett, Lauren Bosway, Abby O’Connell, Meghan Safreed, Lauren Goettemoeller, Erik Rodenburgh, Jordi Emrick, Drew Westerheide, Nathan Hall, Olivia Sehlhorst, Grace Frantz, Olivia Slagle, Elizabeth Edwards and McKenna Guillozet. The team received many letters from students after their presentation for the sixth-graders. One student said, “Thank you so much for teaching us. … One thing I learned is how much energy you save from incandescent to fluorescent.” Another said, “We learned many things like if you ride a bike, it produces heat energy. … We also learned that sound travels in waves.” “Our students have showed tremendous leadership when teaching these young people,” said Hall. “Hopefully, these students will go home and teach their parents what they have learned about energy conservation so they can help reduce energy costs for their families.” For more information about OEP, contact Hall at Lehman Catholic. Also, schools who would like to sponsor a fair are also encouraged to contact Hall.

OF THE
at preventing recurrence. The combination of both warfarin and an IVC filter is not recommended usually, but because of your factor V Leiden mutation (it increases your risk of further blood clotting) and the severity of your initial blood clot, I can understand why one of your doctors recommended both. Warfarin alone is very effective for most people, and most recommendations are to not put in the filter. If you couldn’t take warfarin (for example, if you had a reaction to it, which is not uncommon), that would be an indication in favor of a filter. However, I agree with the second pulmonologist, who did not recommend a filter unless you get another blood clot despite warfarin. As you mention, there are possible side effects of the IVC filter, including unwanted movement of the filter, infection and an increased risk of blood clots in the leg. DEAR DR. ROACH: What is the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthri-
tis? — J.B. ANSWER: Osteoarthritis is very common in older adults, and usually affects large joints like hips and knees, as well as smaller joints of the hands. It causes morning stiffness that typically lasts less than a half-hour. Rheumatoid arthritis is less common, more frequently affects smaller joints of the hand, and causes morning stiffness that may last two hours. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can affect many more systems than the joints, and is potentially much more serious. Lab tests and X-rays can help sort out which is which. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

PAST
100 years April 5, 1913 Shelby County is the only county in the Miami Valley that has completed and filed with State Highway Commissioner James R. Marker, a report on bridges damaged as a result of the flood. The county lost 14 bridges with damage estimated at $75,000 according to the report. In the 59 counties that have so far reported, there were 707 bridges washed away or seriously damaged. ——— The Sidney Commercial Club at its meeting last evening passed a resolution for presentation to the county representative in the legislature urging the abandonment of the canals, emphasizing the great expense to the county in the maintaining of bridges. Approval of the resolution came only after a heated discussion in which opponents argued that the canal should be maintained to keep down freight rates of railroads and rather than being abandoned should be widened and deepened. I.H. Thedieck and H.W. Robinson championed the cause of the resolution, while James N. Anderson and W.H.C. Goode opposed it.

April 5, 1938 John Kookootsedes, of the Purity, escaped injury this morning when his car was struck by a transport truck on the Dixie highway about two miles south of Sidney. The car had stalled while he was enroute to Piqua and Kookootsedes had gotten out to signal a passing motorist when a transport truck from Lima struck the car in the rear. The vehicle was knocked from the highway, across the berm and into a field. It was extensively damaged. ——— Samuel Piper celebrated his 80th birthday Friday, and in his honor a family dinner was given yesterday by his daughter, Miss Elsie Piper, at the Piper home on North Ohio Avenue. One of the best known of Sidney residents, Mr. Piper was associated with the business life of Sidney for 55 years, operating the former Piper grocery until his retire-
ment some years ago.
50 years April 5, 1963 Two of Shelby County’s most historic grain elevators have been sold to M.K. Miller, president of the Green Belt Chemical Co., St. Paris, but plans for their future remain indefinite, it became known today. Elevators involved are those that have been operated by the Kirkwood Grain Co. at Kirkwood and Lockington. The Lockington elevator was shut down shortly after the first of the year. Miller, when contacted today, said he does not know whether the Lockington elevator will be reopened. The Kirkwood elevator continues under the management of Earl Hahn, it was said.
25 years April 5, 1988 Customers line up to buy three-cent stamps at the Sidney Post Office Monday, the day the price of a postage stamp was raised from 22 cents to 25 cents. The local post office estimated about 20,000 three-cent stamps were sold Monday. ——— Sidney city officials got more input from skateboarders Monday afternoon as discussion about the concept of a skateboard park continued. City officials are examining ways to meet the needs of skateboarders in light of a proposed ordinance that would ban skateboard use on sidewalks in business districts and on streets throughout the city. City officials say the new law is designed to protect both pedestrians and skateboarders from injury. “We’ve been talking about you. We knew you were out there,” recreation board member Mary Jannides said, inviting the skateboarders to tell the city what is needed in the way of a skateboarding facility.

I’m trying to kick the booze, but I know I won’t be able to achieve sobriety while living in this house. — TRULY TORN IN TEXAS DEAR TRULY TORN: If you quit drinking only a week ago, it is important that you find an AA group to help you hang onto your sobriety. That’s step one. Next, realize that you
and the lady you’re living with may share a similar problem. You say you are a “clean freak.” This can be a symptom of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Mother/Father, that we do not think of you. Thank you for loving and sharing, for giving and for caring. God bless you and keep you, until we meet again. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Those we love we never lose, for always they will be, loved remembered, treasured, always in our memory. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true. A lane I so often travel down, because it leads to you. Oh how we wish he/she was here today, to see all the blessings we have. Yet somehow you know that he/she is guiding us on our paths. Tenderly we treasure the past with memories that will always last. Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. . Loved always, sadly missed. Forever remembered, forever missed. Suffer little children to come unto me.

MIDWEST REGION Best Team: Louisville Biggest Upset: Oregon over Saint Louis Most Surprising Team: Oregon Most Disappointing Team: Oklahoma State Best Player: Russ Smith, Louisville — Smith, a junior shooting guard from New York, averaged 26 points and led the Cardinals in scoring in all four wins. He was efficient as well, shooting 54.1 percent from the field. Honorable Mention: Peyton Siva, Louisville; Gorgui Dieng, Louisville; Mason Plumlee, Duke; Seth Curry, Duke; Arsalan Kazemi, Oregon Best Game: Creighton 67, Cincinnati 63, Round of 64 — Creighton held off a gritty Cincinnati team in one of only two games in the Midwest Region that was decided by less than eight points. Doug McDermott led the way for the Bluejays with 27 points. Most Disappointing Game: Colorado State 84, Missouri 72, Round of 64 — Colorado State dominated a talented Missouri team in an 8 vs. 9 game that on paper looked to be one of the best matchups in the Round of 64. CSU outrebounded Mizzou 42–19 en route to the easy win.

Athlon Sports’ Final Four Breakdown
WEST REGION Best Team: Wichita State Biggest Upset: Harvard over New Mexico Most Surprising Team: Wichita State Most Disappointing Team: Gonzaga Best Player: Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State. His team came one win shy of reaching the Final Four, but Thomas was terrific for the Buckeyes, averaging 22.3 points while shooting 51.7 percent from the field in the four games. Honorable Mention: Malcolm Armstead, Wichita State; Carl Hall, Wichita State; Cleanthony Early, Wichita State; Aaron Craft, Ohio State; Ramon Galloway, La Salle Best Game: Ohio State 78, Iowa State 75, Round of 32 — The Buckeyes survived a scare against No. 10-seeded Iowa State when Aaron Craft broke a 75–75 tie by drilling a 3-pointer — over 6'7" forward Georges Niang — with 0.5 seconds remaining. Most Disappointing Game: Wichita State 70, Ohio State 66, Elite Eight — Ohio State made it interesting late, but this was far from the most thrilling Elite Eight contest. Wichita State raced out to an early 10-point lead and maintained a comfortable margin for most of the game.
SOUTH REGION Best Team: Michigan Biggest Upset: FGCU over Georgetown Most Surprising Team: FGCU Most Disappointing Team: Georgetown Best Player: Trey Burke, Michigan. He didn’t shoot well, but Burke still averaged 15.5 points and came through when it mattered most for the Final Four-bound Wolverines. In four games, Burke had 31 assists and 14 turnovers. Honorable Mention: Mitch McGary, Michigan; Tim Hardaway Jr., Michigan; Sherwood Brown, FGCU; Brett Comer, FGCU; Jeff Withey, Kansas Best Game: Michigan 87, Kansas 85, OT, Sweet 16 — Michigan trailed by 14 points with seven minutes to play and by five with 35 seconds remaining but forced overtime thanks to the incredible shooting of Burke. The junior point guard scored all 23 of his points in the second half. Most Disappointing Game: Michigan 78, VCU 53, Round of 32 — The Wolverines dominated VCU in every phase of the game in what turned out to be a stress-free 25-point win. Freshman forward Mitch McGary was the star for Michigan with 21 points and 14 rebounds.

Russ Smith and the Louisville Cardinals are back in the Final Four for the second straight season and for the third time in the Rick Pitino era.
Carl Hall and Wichita State became the fourth team seeded No. 9 or lower to reach the Final Four since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
LOUISVILLE CARDINALS
WICHITA STATE SHOCKERS
2012-13 Record: 33–5 (14–4 Big East) Head Coach: Rick Pitino (Seventh Final Four) Projected Starters: G – Russ Smith (18.9 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 2.1 spg); G – Peyton
Siva (9.9 ppg, 5.8 apg, 2.2 spg); G/F – Wayne Blackshear (7.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg); F – Chane Behanan (9.6 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 50.5 FG%); C – Gorgui Dieng (10.2 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 2.5 bpg, 53.3 FG%) Will win the national title if… They can maintain their current level of play. Louisville entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed and has looked the part so far. The Cards were dominant in all four wins, controlling the game with their pressure defense and speed in transition. Rick Pitino’s club enters the Final Four as the overwhelming favorite to win it all. Will lose to Wichita State on Saturday if… They have trouble shooting the ball from the perimeter and their big men are hit with foul trouble. About the only thing Louisville does not do well is shoot the ball with consistency from the 3-point line. The nightmare scenario for the Cards is a 1-for-14 performance from the arc combined with two early fouls on Gorgui Dieng and Chane Behanan.
2012-13 Record: 30–8 (12–6 Missouri Valley) Head Coach: Gregg Marshall (First Final Four) Projected Starters: G – Malcolm Armstead (10.9 ppg, 3.9 apg, 3.8 rpg); G –
Ron Baker (8.6 ppg, 2.9 rpg, 34.6 3FG%); G – Tekele Cotton (6.4 ppg, 3.9 rpg); F – Cleanthony Early (13.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg); F – Carl Hall (12.5 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 53.8 FG%) Will win the national title if… They can continue to play outstanding defense while also staying hot from the 3-point line. In their four NCAA Tournament wins, the Shockers are holding their opponents to a combined 34.3 percent shooting. And since making only 2-of-20 from 3-point range in a Round of 64 win over Pittsburgh, Wichita State is connecting on 45.0 percent from three. Will lose to Louisville on Saturday if… They don’t play their finest game of the season. Wichita State has been terrific in the NCAA Tournament — knocking off a No. 1 seed and a No. 2 seed — but Louisville will be the best team the Shockers will play all season. They must protect the ball, something they didn’t do very well during the regular season (144th nationally in turnover percentage).
EAST REGION Best Team: Syracuse Biggest Upset: California over UNLV Most Surprising Team: Syracuse Most Disappointing Team: Indiana Best Player: Michael Carter-Williams, Syracuse. MCW was relatively quiet in the first two games, but scored 24 points and had four steals in the win over No. 1 Indiana and 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists against Marquette. Honorable Mention: C.J. Fair, Syracuse; Brandon Triche, Syracuse; Vander Blue, Marquette; Victor Oladipo, Indiana; Khalif Wyatt, Temple Best Game: Marquette 74, Butler 72, Round of 32 — In a rematch of an early season game in Maui — won by Butler on a Rotnei Clarke 3pointer at the buzzer — Marquette held on for a thrilling 74–72 win to advance to its thirdstraight Sweet 16. Most Disappointing Game: Syracuse 55, Marquette 39, Elite Eight — Marquette made only 12 field goals and was held to 39 points, the fewest by a team in a Regional Final in the shot-clock era. Syracuse, the winning team, shot 38.0 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from three.

Michigan sophomore Trey Burke is a scoring point guard who is also adept at distributing the ball. He had at least seven assists in all four of the Wolverines’ NCAA Tournament wins.
Michael Carter-Williams has Syracuse back in the Final Four for the first time since 2003 and the fourth time under legendary coach Jim Boeheim.
MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
SYRACUSE ORANGE
2012-13 Record: 30–7 (12–6 Big Ten) Head Coach: John Beilein (First Final Four) Projected Starters: G – Trey Burke (18.8 ppg, 6.8 apg, 38.1 3FG%); G – Tim
Hardaway Jr. (14.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 38.7 3FG%); G – Nik Stauskas (11.5 ppg, 44.9 3FG%); F – Glenn Robinson III (11.0 ppg, 5.5 rpg); F – Mitch McGary (7.4 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 60.5 FG%) Will win the national title if… They shoot the ball well from the perimeter. This Michigan team doesn’t rely on the 3-point shot as much as previous John Beilein-coached teams — only 29.8 percent of its points come from beyond the arc — but Michigan’s guards will need to hit open shots against Syracuse’s zone defense on Saturday and against Louisville (assuming the Cards beat Wichita State) on Monday. Will lose to Syracuse on Saturday if… Trey Burke gets off to another slow start and Mitch McGary doesn’t play well. The Wolverines have survived some subpar performances from Burke, but they will need him to be strong throughout against surging Syracuse. McGary, the freshman big man, could be a key part of the offense as it looks for gaps in the Orange zone.
2012-13 Record: 30–9 (11–7 Big East) Head Coach: Jim Boeheim (Fourth Final Four) Projected Starters: G – Michael Carter-Williams (12.1 ppg, 7.4 apg, 4.9 rpg,
2.8 spg); G – Brandon Triche (13.7 ppg, 3.5 apg, 3.4 rpg); F – C.J. Fair (14.3 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 47.5 3FG%); F – James Southerland (13.5 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 2.5 3FG per game); F – Rakeem Christmas (5.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 1.8 bpg) Will win the national title if… Their zone defense continues to baffle. Through four NCAA Tournament games, Syracuse’s four opponents have combined to shoot 29 percent from the field and 15 percent from 3-point range. The Orange are also averaging 6.3 blocks and 11.0 steals per game. This team can get away with playing just average on offense if it continues to defend the way it has the past two weekends. Will lose to Michigan on Saturday if… They allow the Wolverines’ shooters to get comfortable. Michigan, unlike many teams Syracuse has faced recently, has decent size on the perimeter. Trey Burke is only 6'0", but Tim Hardaway Jr. and Nick Stauskas are both 6'6" — and that should help them get quality shots against the length of the Syracuse defenders.

Enfield moves to bigger stage as USC coach LOS ANGELES (AP) — Andy Enfield used to drive by the Southern California campus while visiting his brother who lives in the area. He said he would think: “Wow, what a great place.” Now he’s running the Trojans’ basketball program, a job that athletic director Pat Haden described as a “turnaround Enfield situation.” “We think Andy can handle it,” he
said. Enfield calls it “an unbelievable dream, something that I’ve been working towards for many, many years.” The 43-year-old coach was introduced Wednesday at Galen Center, where he’ll be tasked with making men’s basketball relevant at a school dominated by its nationally renowned football program. Enfield comes from Florida Gulf Coast, which caused a stir by becoming the first 15 seed to reach the
round of 16 in the NCAA tournament. He was 41-28 in his only two seasons as a head coach at Fort Myers, Fla., school. He led the Eagles to a schoolrecord 26 wins this season. “To get a job like USC, you have to prove you’re a winner and that you’ve done something, and I think we’ve done that,” he said. “What we did at FGCU, I’ve been prepping for 20 years.” Haden said he didn’t know about Enfield until the NCAA tournament, but that the coach was thoroughly vet-
ted. Among those Haden spoke to was Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton, who had Enfield on his staff. “Leonard Hamilton said, ‘Hey, Pat, this guy is a star,’” Haden said. “He’s got this very aw-shucks type of persona, but inside he burns very competitive juices. He’s got some lion in him.” Enfield will need that trait to be competitive in the Los Angeles recruiting wars, where he’ll be going head-to-head with new UCLA coach Steve Alford.

Homers power Reds to 5-4 win Choo, Frazier, Heisey go long to beat Angels CINCINNATI (AP) — Joey Votto? One single in 10 atbats. Jay Bruce? One double in 13 at-bats with seven strikeouts. Cincinnati’s top run producers barely got the bat on the ball, yet the Reds managed to win the major leagues’ first interleague series to open a season. Credit those other guys who don’t normally do the heavy lifting. Shin-Soo Choo homered on Joe Blanton’s first pitch of the game Thursday, the first of Cincinnati’s three homers off the right-hander, and the Reds won 5-4 over the Los Angeles Angels. Not too bad considering the big hitters’ struggles. “It means somebody else picked us up,” manager Dusty Baker said. “We had excellent pitching. Some of their players didn’t get uncaged, either. That was an exciting series. Every game was a great game that could have gone either way.” Todd Frazier also had a solo homer off Blanton (0-1), and Chris Heisey’s two-run shot put Cincinnati up 5-3 in the fifth. Blanton gave up five runs and seven hits in five innings during his Angels debut. Blanton, who signed a twoyear, $15 million deal in December, didn’t make many bad pitches. He didn’t have much luck, either. “Two of them were off mistakes, and I felt I made maybe a handful of them all day,” Blanton said. “That happens sometimes in baseball. One of those things that just happened out of the gate.” Heisey’s homer was his first as the full-time left
fielder. He’s replacing Ryan Ludwick, who had surgery on Wednesday to repair torn cartilage in his right shoulder, an injury that will sideline him for at least the first half of the season. “I’ve proven I can play off the bench,” Heisey said. “I’m not feeling any pressure.” Bronson Arroyo (1-0) gave up three runs in six innings, including Josh Hamilton’s two-run single that was his first hit for the Angels. Albert Pujols drove in a pair of runs with a sacrifice fly and a groundout. Nobody enjoyed Choo’s homer more than Arroyo. Choo has four career homers off Arroyo, his highest total off any pitcher. The Reds got him from Cleveland in the offseason. “Every time he goes deep for me, it’s like a holiday,” Arroyo said. Left-hander Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth, converting his first save opportunity. Mike Trout led off with a single and was sacrificed to second, but Pujols flied out and Hamilton struck out. The teams combined for seven homers and 63 strikeouts during the series. The Reds fanned 36 overall, a club record for the first three games of a season. The 36 strikeouts were an Angels record for a three-game series. Their biggest hitters also have had a tough time getting started. Pujols and Hamilton were a combined 0 for 17 with six strikeouts before they finally put something together in the third inning. Pujols doubled for his first hit, and Hamilton followed with a two-run sin-

Chapman earned his first save of the season as the Red 5-4 win. gle; Pujols slid into home safely while catcher Ryan Hanigan missed his leg while attempting the tag. Pujols also had a sacrifice fly and a run-scoring groundout, limping on his left foot after he’d run. Pujols is playing through pain from plantar fasciitis. Choo got the Reds started with his sixth career leadoff homer. Frazier led off the second inning with a homer just
inside the left field foul pole, and Heisey connected in the fifth. The game featured the first replay of the season at Great American Ball Park. Frazier’s fly ball went off the yellow padding atop the wall in the fourth, and he continued to third when Trout bobbled the carom for an error. The umpires checked to make sure the ball didn’t clear the wall. Frazier scored on Hanigan’s
sacrifice fly — Cincinnati’s only run that didn’t come off a homer. Baker got through the series without using left-handed setup man Sean Marshall, who’s had some tiredness in the front of his pitching shoulder the last couple of weeks. Marshall said Thursday he felt much better and should be available for the opener of a series against Washington on Friday.
Guillozet one-hits Fairlawn Fort Loramie evened its record overall and got off to a 1-0 start in County play with a 10-0 run-rule verdict over Fairlawn in high school baseball action Thursday at Fairlawn.

Kiper says Browns will be busy in draft down they would be willing to go in the first round depends on what they get in return. They do not have a secondround choice and would like to acquire one. The Browns are in desperate need of a cornerback. Dee Milliner from Alabama is the highest rated corner in the draft, but Kiper expects him to be drafted by the Eagles with the fourth pick or the Lions with the fifth. After Milliner, according to Kiper, the next cornerback won’t be taken until the second half of the first round. He rates Desmond Trufant the Washington of

Russia goes 3-0 RUSSIA — The Russia Lady Raiders went to 3-0 overall with a 15-5 run-rule verdict over Jackson Center in County softball Thursday.
The win was the second in league action. Jackson drops to 0-2. Russia trailed 1-0 before scoring six times in the bottom of the second. The Lady Raiders added four in the third and five in the fourth. Sara Young had three doubles for Russia, Alexa Counts had two hits and drove in four, Olivia Monnin singled, doubled and drove in four, Kennedy Metz had a triple and both Taylor Borchers and Heidi Petty had two RBIs.

Huskies second behind Milliner. “They’re going to have great opportunities to move down because that pick is going to represent either Eric Fisher, the left tackle from Central Michigan possibly, or Lane Johnson, the left tackle from Oklahoma,” Kiper said. “There’s no corner to take after Milliner at pick No. 6. I don’t think there’s a corner to consider until you get to that 19 area. In that 19 to 32 range, I think you might see two, three or four corners come off the board.” Not all analysts agree with Kiper — no surprise there.
National Football Post writer Russ Lande updated his mock draft Wednesday and has the Browns taking 5-foot-9 wide receiver Tavon Austin from West Virginia with the sixth pick. He has Milliner dropping to 12th and being selected by the Dolphins. Other mocks consulted all have Milliner as a top-10 pick. “If the Browns want Brandon Weeden to become a quality starting quarterback, they need more offensive weapons,” Lande wrote. “As they already have a big receiver in Josh Gordon, the Browns make a bold move to grab Tavon
Austin who is similar to Steve Smith who was coached by Rob Chudzinski when he was the offensive coordinator of the Panthers.” Interestingly, Kiper and Lande have Fisher rated higher than offensive tackle Luke Joekel from Texas A&M. Lande has Fisher going to the Chiefs with the first pick in the draft. If that happens, teams picking after the Browns could call them about Joekel when the Browns are on the clock for 10 minutes. The Chargers, picking 11th, and the Saints, picking 15th, are each looking for an offensive tackle in Lande’s mock

draft. Todd McShay, of ESPN, projects the Giants taking offensive tackle D.J. Fluker with the 19th pick. McShay has Joekel going to the Chiefs with the first pick. Browns CEO Joe Banner has made it clear he is willing to trade the sixth pick for the right price. As desperately as the Browns need a cornerback to replace Sheldon Brown, Banner said it would be very unlikely the Browns would trade up. With five straight seasons of 5-11 or worse in their rearview mirror, they need to acquire picks — not trade picks away to draft one player.

BEREA — Draft analyst Mel Kiper expects the Browns to be busy the first day of the draft on April 25 taking calls from teams that want their first round pick. The Browns choose sixth, their reward for finishing 5-11 last year. Kansas City, JackOakland, sonville, Philadelphia and Detroit pick ahead of them. “That’s going to be a valuable pick that somebody’s going to want,” Kiper predicted during a conference call Wednesday. A trade before the Browns are on the clock after the fifth pick is unlikely, and just how far
