WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Santo-rum and Mitt Romney split six statesand dueled in an almost impossibly closerace in Ohio on a Super Tuesday thatstretched from one end of the country tothe other in the most turbulent Republi-can presidential race in a generation.

Santorum broke through in primariesin Oklahoma and Tennessee and in theNorth Dakota caucuses, raising freshdoubts about Romney’s ability to corralthe votes of conservatives in some of themost Republican states in the country.Romney had a home-state win in Mas-

sachusetts to go with victories in Ver-mont and Virginia, where neitherSantorum nor Newt Gingrich qualified

for the ballot.On the busiest night of the campaign

season, Ohio was the marquee matchup,a second industrial state showdown in asmany weeks between Romney and San-torum. It drew the most campaigningand television advertisements of all 10Super Tuesday contests and for good rea-son— no Republican has ever won the

process,” Easton said. “It’shard to run against an incum-bent candidate. I expected todo better in Shelby County Iwish him well, but two years

scored a surprising victory overincumbent county prosecutorRalph Bauer, 4,363 to 2,374 for64.76 percent of the vote.

“I’m very pleased withTuesday’s results” Sell said. “Ihad some good people helpingme with the campaign and Iappreciate the fact Ralph andI were able to not campaign

T.J. LANE, 17, is taken out of Geauga County Ju-venile Court in Chardon on Tuesday following ahearing in the shooting deaths of three students inthe cafeteria of Chardon High School last week.Lane has been charged with three counts of ag-gravated murder in the killings of studentsDemetrius Hewlin, Russell King Jr. and DanielParmertor.

Judge: Casemay go toadult courtCHARDON (AP) — A

17-year-old charged inan Ohio school shootingrampage that left threestudents dead made acourt appearance Tues-day, where a judge ex-plained to him that thecase could be sent toadult court for trial.Authorities will de-

cide later whether T.J.Lane will be tried as anadult and face a possiblelife sentence.Lane is charged with

three counts of aggra-vated murder, twocounts of attempted ag-gravated murder andone count of felonious as-sault. He did not enter aplea Tuesday. He ap-peared before JuvenileJudge Tim Grendell, whotold him his case couldbe moved to adult courtfor trial.Grendell postponed a

hearing on that matterfrom March 19 untilApril 3 because two newattorneys have joinedthe defense team.Lane watched the

judge without emotion,blinking occasionally. Hewas brought into courtunder heavy security, adeputy’s hand on hisarm. He was dressed inan outfit similar to whathe wore last week incourt — a tan, open-col-lared dress shirt anddark slacks.Relatives of the vic-

tims faced Lane from thejury box. Some wore redand black memorial rib-bons, the colors ofChardon High School.Lane spoke in re-

sponse to routine ques-tions from the judgeabout his understandingof the case and hisrights. “Yes sir, I under-stand,” he said repeat-edly, and, “Yes, I do, yourhonor.”Prosecutor David

Joyce says Lane has ad-mitted taking a .22-cal-iber pistol and a knife toChardon High School,near Cleveland, on Feb.27 and firing 10 shots ata group of students sit-ting at a cafeteria table.In addition to the threestudents killed, threewere wounded, two seri-ously.The motive for the

shooting remains un-clear, though Joyce hasappeared to rule out the-ories involving bullyingor drug-dealing. He hassaid victims were se-lected at random andthat Lane is someone“who’s not well.”Joyce expects the

case to be moved toadult court, where Lanecould face life in prison.Minors are not eligiblefor the death penalty inOhio, whether they areconvicted as juveniles

or adults.Lane attends an alter-

native school for stu-dents who haven’t donewell in traditionalschools.The funerals for the

three students beganSaturday and continuedTuesday, with the finalone scheduled for Thurs-day.

FIREFIGHTERS LOOK at the front of a heavily damaged two- story home where a SpecialForces soldier died trying to rescue his 2 small children during a house fire early Tuesday inHope Mills, N.C. Mother Louise Cantrell, 37, was injured in the blaze that started around 2:00am. Edward Duane Cantrell, 36, and his daughters, 6-year old Isabella Cantrell and 4-year oldNatalia Cantrell all perished in the fire.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—An Indiana womanwho saved her two children by binding them to-gether with a blanket and shielding them withher body as a tornado ripped apart their houselost parts of both her legs, which were crushedby the falling debris, her husband says.Stephanie Decker, a 36-year-old sleep spe-

cialist, lost one leg above the knee and theother above the ankle, her husband said Mon-day. She was in serious but stable condition ata Kentucky hospital. The couple’s 8-year-oldson and 5-year-old daughter survived Friday’sstorm unscathed.“I told her, ‘They’re here because of you,’” Joe

Decker said by telephone from the Universityof Louisville Hospital. “I let her know thatnothing else matters. I said, ‘You’re going to behere for your kids, and you get to see themgrow up.’”Decker, 42, was at Silver Creek High School

in Sellersburg,where he teaches algebra,whenthe tornado hit. With storms expected, theschool had been locked down, and he was de-bating whether to try to race home. Decker ex-changed a series of texts with his wife, urgingher to get herself and their children into thebasement of their sprawling, three-story brickand stone home in Marysville, Ind.“Then she sent me a text saying the whole

house was shaking, and I texted her back andasked her if everything was OK,” he said. “Iasked her about six or seven times and got no

response. That kind of freaked me out.”He said his wife told him later that she was

in their walk-out basement, which had Frenchdoors leading outside and a wall of windows,when she saw the tornado approaching, mov-ing across the family’s 15-acre plot. StephanieDecker had already tied a blanket around bothchildren and to herself, and she threw herselfon top of the children.“She said she felt the whole house start to

go, and then she felt like it moved them aboutbefore it kind of wedged her in there, but shewas able to keep the kids from moving away,”Decker said.When the tornado passed, Stephanie Decker

called to the children. Reese, 5, answered im-mediately, but Dominic, 8, hesitated before say-ing he was OK.Decker said his son told him hecouldn’t hear his mother because of the roar ofthe storm.Dominic, however, soon ran across the street

to seek help from neighbors, who had takenrefuge in a storm cellar, Decker said. Oneneighbor, realizing the severity of Stephanie’sinjuries, ran for help and found a deputy sher-iff traveling on a four-wheeler about a quarterof a mile away.The deputy applied tourniquetsto Stephanie Decker’s legs to halt her bloodloss.She has been scheduled to undergo surgery

on her legs again Thursday, hospital spokes-woman Holly Hinson said.

wife escaped from the 1 a.m.blaze by jumping from thehome’s second floor, the Cum-berland County sheriff ’s officesaid. Cantrell then wrappedhimself in a blanket and re-entered the burning home inHope Mills, about 10 milesfrom the Army base that ishome to the Green Berets and

other Special Forces units,sheriff ’s spokeswoman DebbieTanna said.Cantrell, 36, was trying to

reach 6-year-old Isabella and4-year-old Natalia, who weretrapped in second-floor bed-rooms, Tanna said.“He never made it back

out,” Tanna said. Firefightersfound their bodies inside thehome, Tanna said.The house was built in

1920. Tanna said the oldhome’s timbers were likelyvery dry, causing a fast-mov-ing blaze.The cause of the fireis still under investigation.A sign at the end of the

driveway blocked with yellowpolice tape says “The

Cantrells Est. Feb. 7, 2004.”Bouquets of flowers and twoteddy bears had been placednearby.Firefighters from Cotton

Volunteer Fire Department,which is less than two milesaway, were on the scenewithin four minutes of receiv-ing the dispatch call. Assis-tant Chief Kevin Dove saidthe house was already en-gulfed in flames.“They perished before our

arrival,” said Dove, a veteranfirefighter. “It was horrible.”The three bodies were all

recovered on the second floor,he said. It did not appear thefather was able to reach thegirls.

Talks toresumeTEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Ef-

forts to find a diplomatic solu-tion to Iran’s disputed nuclearprogram appeared to get aboost Tuesday when worldpowers agreed to a new roundof talks with Tehran, and Irangave permission for inspectorsto visit a site suspected of se-cret atomic work.The two developments coun-

tered somewhat the crisis at-mosphere over Iran’s nuclearprogram, the focus of talks inWashington between PresidentBarackObama and Israel’s vis-iting prime minister.Speaking at a news confer-

ence, Obama said he saw a“window of opportunity” to usediplomacy instead of militaryforce to resolve the disputeover Iran’s nuclear program.He said he is focused on

“crippling sanctions” alreadyimposed on Iran and on inter-national pressure to keepTehran from developing a nu-clear weapon. Iranians need toshow they are serious about re-solving the crisis, he said,adding that his policy is notone of containment but of stop-ping Iran from acquiring a nu-clear weapon.The U.S. and its allies say

Iran is on a path that couldlead to the production of a nu-clear weapon. Iran denies that,insisting its program is for en-ergy production and otherpeaceful purposes.Speaking in Brussels, EU

foreign policy chief CatherineAshton said the five perma-nent members of the U.N. Se-curity Council and Germanyhad agreed to a new round ofnuclear talks with Iran.

Composerdead at 86LONDON (AP) — How

do you sum up the work ofsongwriter Robert B. Sher-man?Try oneword:“Super-califragilisticexpialidocious.”The tongue-twisting

term, sung by magicalnannyMary Poppins, is likemuch of Sherman’s work—both complex and instantlymemorable, for child andadult alike. Once heard, itwas never forgotten.Sherman, who died in

London at age 86, was halfof a sibling partnership thatput songs into the mouthsof nannies and Cockneychimney sweeps, jungle an-imals and Parisian felines.Robert Sherman and his

brother Richard composedscores for films including“The Jungle Book,” ”TheAristocats,” ”Mary Poppins”and “Chitty Chitty BangBang.” They also wrote themost-played tune on Earth,“It’s a Small World (AfterAll).”

Hackersbusted

NEWYORK (AP)—Theshadowy underworld of In-ternet hackers was rockedby news Tuesday that oneof the world’s most-wantedand most-feared computervandals has been anFBI in-formant for months andhelped authorities build acase against five allegedcomrades.The FBI said it captured

the legendary hackerknown as “Sabu” last June,and he turned out to beHector Xavier Monsegur,28, a self-taught, unem-ployed computer program-mer with no collegeeducation, living on welfarein public housing in NewYork.His exploits made him a

hero to some in cyberspaceuntil he made a rookie mis-take — he posted some-thing online withoutcloaking his IP address, orcomputer identity — andsomeone tipped off the FBI.

For Romney, best partof night is going homeBOSTON (AP) — Mitt Romney says

he doesn’t get nervous on primarynights. He doesn’t have a lucky tie. Andthe best part about Super Tuesday, heand his wife said before the results camein, was heading back to Boston and eat-ing dinner with one of their five sons.“Oh, boy, we’re headed home,” Rom-

ney said as he stood in the aisle of thecampaign charter plane that has carriedhim to Ohio, Idaho, Washington stateand back to Ohio in the past week alone.Romney made the comments as he

and his wife, Ann, made a rare visit tothe national press corps traveling on hisplane as it waited on the tarmac to takehim to Belmont, Mass., where the coupleraised its family and have a house.He’s been on the road for two straight

months, having last slept there on Jan.

6, right before New Hampshire’s pri-mary four days later. Massachusettsvoted Tuesday along with nine otherstates that, together, handed him a sig-nificant number of delegates and sethim on the path to becoming the GOPnominee.For 25 minutes, the Romneys chatted

casually with reporters, a remarkablemoment for a campaign that until nowhas held the national media at arms-length. The moment was part of a tenta-tive transition as Romney shifts fromhis role as the nominal frontrunner inthe GOP nomination fight to a generalelection against President BarackObama.At a victory party in Boston, Romney

was set to focus on Obama and cast thecontest in a new light. “Tonight, we’ve

taken one more step toward restoringthe promise of America,” Romneyplanned to say. “Tomorrow, we wake upand we start again. And the next day wedo the same.”On most days, Romney gets on and off

the front of the plane as reporters climbon and off the back, taking photographsfrom many rows behind. He has heldquestion-and-answer sessions with thepress corps on the plane, and sometimeshands out lunch or snacks to it. But notoften.Now, the candidate — as well as his

advisers — are making a clear push tobuild a stronger relationship with themedia and recover from a series of com-ments by Romney himself that made thewealthy former Massachusetts governorseem out of touch.

OPINION

Showing whatthey’re made ofAs you read

this there aredozens of menand women andhundreds ofdogs crossing avery coldAlaska: morethan a thou-sand miles of it.It’s called the Iditarodby everyone who doesn’tdrive a team in it. Forthose who have, it’s theIdiot Road.There are deadly se-

rious mushers in thatrace who are after thatprize money, and a fewof them will get it. Butthere are also the tail-draggers. They knowthey won’t win.Whatthey want to do, really,is finish this most diffi-cult of all races. Andmore than that … tofind out exactly what’sinside them.Thirty-nine years ago

this week, that was me.I had seven dogs. The

minimum that year.And I had to borrow twoto make the minimum.Most teams were in the12- to 16-dog range.This translates to put-ting a VW bug in theIndy 500. Forget anyprize money.The front runners

have snow machineshalf a day ahead ofthem, packing trail.With packed trail, thoseteams can averagesomething like 80 milesa day.Without packedtrail, you’re lucky to getfive miles, on snow-shoes. And all it takesto turn a packed trailinto snowshoe time ishalf an hour of wind.There have always

been “recre-ational mush-ers,” like I wasback then. Ilived 12 milesfrom a road inthose days, andfor six monthseach year, thedogs got us

back and forth to thevillage. They were basictransportation andbasic family.But this race, this

monumental journeyfrom Anchorage toNome, makes a personwant to hook up thedogs and head out.I wasn’t able to finish

the race that year, 1973,because of an injury,and while I was on thetrail, everyone passedme. And I guess it’s be-cause of that that eachMarch I say a littleprayer for all the mush-ers and all the dogs, butespecially for the recre-ational mushers, for thetaildraggers. They’ll beout in the cold and thelonely longer than thewinners, looking to findthat certain personalsomething.Packed trail and

fresh dogs, people. It’s avery long way to Nome.

Budget malpractice in D.C.We’ve all

heard aboutmedical mal-practice andlegal malprac-tice. Nowthere’s anotherone to add tothe roster:budget mal-practice.Every year

the president isrequired to sub-mit a budget tothe Congress. Typicallyit is a 10-year proposalof spending and taxes,based on certain eco-nomic assumptions.The budget President

Obama submitted lastyear was voted down inthe Senate by an over-whelming bipartisanmargin of 97-0.And yet on Monday,

President Obama re-leased a very similarbudget. Like last year’sbudget that got no sup-port, it spends toomuch, taxes too muchand borrows too much.At a time of trillion

dollar deficits, historicdebt and the highestlevel of governmentspending since WorldWar II, it’s simply irre-sponsible to propose abudget that allows $11trillion to be added tothe debt in the 10-yearbudget window anddoes nothing to addressour long-term budgetcrisis.I had hoped that be-

cause of last year’s voteand because of the pres-ident’s promise threeyears ago to cut thedeficit in half in his first

term, this year’sbudget wouldhave real deficitsavings.Far from cut-

ting fiscal year2009’s $1.4 tril-lion deficit inhalf, thisbudget assumesa 2012 deficit of$1.3 trillion.The presi-

dent’s budgetclaims to have

about $5 trillion indeficit reduction overthe next decade, as com-pared to what he sayswould happen undercurrent policy. But ifyou read the fine print,only 0.1 percent of thatclaimed deficit reduc-tion consists of net newspending cuts. The rest,comprising 99.9 percent(yes, you read thatright), is made up of taxincreases, spending cutsalready enacted lastyear and a gimmickthat assumes the long-planned Iraq andAfghanistan troopdrawdown won’t happenand then takes creditfor a new spending cutwhen it does.On top of that, else-

where in the budget thepresident hides hun-dreds of billions of dol-lars in additional newspending. So even theclaimed savings — the0.1 percent — also van-ish. Overrun under amountain of deficits anddebt.In fact, under his pro-

posal, the national debtis set to rise from about$15 trillion today to

nearly $26 trillion inthe 10 years of thebudget plan.What does this

spending and addeddebt mean for the aver-age Ohio family?In 2012, the presi-

dent intends to have thefederal governmentspend $31,000 perhousehold. From thetime the president tookoffice until 2022, thefederal budget will havegrown by $9,000 perhousehold.Most Ohioans I know

don’t think they’re get-ting services to matchthis soaring spending.Of course, if spending

rises $9,000 per house-hold, higher taxes willhave to follow. And sureenough they do in thepresident’s budget.Economists at the non-partisan CongressionalBudget Office believethese tax increases willresult in lower economicgrowth and more joblosses. They will alsosubject 48 percent ofsmall-business incometo higher taxes, accord-ing to IRS data.One interesting part

of the president’sbudget is its assess-ment that the policiesin the budget will resultin unemployment ratesof 8.9 percent in 2012and 8.6 percent in 2013,both numbers higherthan today’s unemploy-ment.This is unacceptable

at a time when 21 mil-lion Americans are al-ready unemployed orunderemployed.

Ultimately it’s aboutour kids and grandkids.It seems like Washing-ton is prepared to havethem pay off the left-over bills from a contin-ued spending spree. Asnoted earlier, spendingper household risessharply under the presi-dent’s budget proposal.So does debt. The billsare startling. PresidentObama inherited a na-tional debt of $91,000per household. His newbudget proposes push-ing it to $161,000 adecade from now.This debt will not

only be a liability forour kids and grandkids,but economists also tellus that it will limit eco-nomic growth and killmillions of jobs now andin the future.The job of the Con-

gress should be to pro-duce our own budgetand actually deal withthe short and long-termproblems. In the UnitedStates Senate, such abudget is way overdue.Despite a 1974 law re-quiring a budget, theDemocratic majority inthe Senate has not pro-duced a budget to bevoted on for more than1,000 days.With nobudget it is no wonderthe spending has grownso much.I will keep fighting

for a responsiblebudget, and for the com-bination of good, pro-growth policies andcommonsense spendingrestraint to get Ohioand the country back ontrack.

Portmanreports

Rob PortmanU.S. Senator

Short-term savings havelong-term consequences

Is it penny-wise to voteagainst tax in-creases andproperty-tax re-newals whichsupport localschools? Tworecent attemptsby local govern-ments to raiserevenue forschools androad improve-ment failed. The voteagainst the revenue-en-hancing attempts savedthe taxpayers the trou-ble and expense ofadding a few additionaldollars from their ownpockets into the localgovernment coffers.This immediate, short-range vote to keep afew extra dollars in thepocket, however, mayhave long-range, unin-tended consequences.First, there was an

attempt to increase thelocal income tax by 0.25percent, which was tobe earmarked for roadimprovement. In otherwords, a person whoearns $30,000 a yearwould pay an addi-tional $75 in taxes. Avote against the taxlevy allows the voter toretain $75 in theirpocket. As our roadsand streets fall apartinto a greater state ofdisrepair, a mid-rangeperspective may in-clude what happenswhen voters drive onthe same city streets.As friends, visitors

and family membersdrive the streets, thetoll on vehicles becomesadditionally noticeable.Springs, struts, axlesand alignment, I sub-mit, will cost the aver-age citizen more incosts to maintain theirroads. A longer-range

perspectivemay includethe domesticand foreign in-vestors whomhave Sidney ontheir short listfor investingmillions oftheir own dol-lars. On a tourof potential in-vesting sites,investors are

sure to have their deci-sion-making processjolted in a negativemanner as they evalu-ate Sidney’s existing in-frastructure.Second, there was a

vote regarding a 0.043percent renewal of anemergency levy to sup-port Sidney CitySchools. Therefore, apenny-wise decisionsaved the homeownerapproximately $21.85 inproperty taxes for anappraised $150,000home. From a mid-range perspective, how-ever, there may be bothindividual economic andopportunity costs withthe decision to voteagainst the renewal.Busing may be one

example. With the fail-ure, there was a con-temporaneous decisionto reduce busing forthose who live withintwo miles of a school.Each day, at eachschool, parents formlong lines up to pick uptheir children. The costto the parent who waitsoutside the school fortheir children may costapproximately $300 ayear and 100 hours forpersonal transportationcosts. I submit that thiscost alone justifies avote to support the re-newal.A longer-range per-

spective may include

that as the funds avail-able decrease, thedepth and breadth ofthe quality of educationalso diminish. As thequality of education di-minishes, start-up andexpanding businesseswill be dissuaded fromcreating jobs andwealth in Sidney be-cause they want theirchildren to grow up inthe highest-quality ed-ucation systems. A voteto defeat the renewalled to the result thatthe voter realizes im-mediate savings. Thedecision, however, alsoprovides long-termgreater economic andopportunity costs forboth the individual andthe community.There is one final

long-term issue regard-ing the road mainte-nance and the schools.That final penny-wiseissue is property val-ues. I submit that aneconomist would assertthat there is a directcorrelation between acommunity’s infrastruc-ture and schools andthe community’s homevalues. As the roads fallapart and the schoolsare able to providelesser value, the valueof citizens’ propertyalso, in both the mid-term and in the longrun, suffers a substan-tial loss of value.No one likes to pay

taxes. Some may assertthat our local govern-ments should “do morewith less.” It is highlyprobable that afteryears of carefully con-sidered cutbacks to ac-complish more withless, that our local gov-ernments are now ca-pable of only doing lesswith less. Additionally,it is natural to want

everyone else to paytheir fair share beforewe pay more out of ourown pocket. In the ab-sence of a forever-elu-sive system in whichevery individual per-ceives the tax systemas being unfair to them,I submit that the abovetwo mentioned deci-sions to defeat improve-ment of our schools andthe repair and mainte-nance of our roads areindeed penny-wise.Are the votes against

improving our streetsand maintaining ourschools, however, alsopound-foolish? I askthat we consider en-couraging our commu-nity leaders to reinitiateefforts and ask ourfriends and neighbors tovote in favor so that wemay collectively obtainthe funds not only toimprove our own indi-vidual accounts in thelong run, but to increasethe quality and aggre-gate wealth of our com-munity.

DR. WAL-LACE: I am inmy first year atNorthern Illi-nois University.Although Ihaven’t firmlydecided on mymajor, I’m kindof thinking ofteaching highschool science ormath. Why sci-ence or math?Because I wanta way to encourage moregirls to take these im-portant subjects. I thinkthe main reason for girls’lack of interest in mathand science is not theirability to learn, but thesexist messages they re-ceive from society thatlabels math and scienceas “masculine” subjects.Girls have been shut outfrom math and sciencetoo long, and it’s time fora change. Do you thinkbeing a math or scienceteacher would encouragemore girls to take these

subjects? —N a m e l e s s ,DeKalb, Ill.

N A M E -LESS: Femalestudents needand deserve ex-cellent rolemodels. Beingan effectivemath or scienceteacher will in-deed encouragemany youngwomen to follow

in your footsteps.You are fortunate that

you are a student atNIU, which has one ofthe best university edu-cation programs in theUnited States. Take ad-vantage of these supe-rior education offeringsand take your first stepin reaching a wonderfulprofession — teaching.

DR. WALLACE:What exactly is peerpressure? Please don’tgive a clinical answer. —Aaron, Moncton,

New Brunswick.AARON: Teens spend

a lot of time with friendstheir own age.When youare with these friends,you learn to interactwith people outside ofyour family. Soon youcould be doing what theydo, saying what they sayand wearing the sametype of clothing theywear.You want to be justlike they are. Peer pres-sure is a self-imposedpressure to be acceptedas an equal by friends.That’s why it’s impor-tant to have friends whohave positive attitudes.

DR. WALLACE: I’m16 and smoke a bag ofpot a week. My parentsdrink about 15 martiniseach per week. Who hasthe more serious prob-lem? — Nameless,Nashua, N.H.

NAMELESS: Alcoholabuse (yes, your parentsare abusers) is the na-tion’s biggest drug prob-

lem. Marijuana is also adrug, but unlike alcohol,it is illegal. Both alcoholand marijuana can causephysical ailments andcan cause the abuser tobe accident-prone. Whohas the more seriousproblem?All three of youhave a serious problem,but since alcohol causesphysical addiction andmarijuana’s addiction ispsychological, it will beeasier for you to get youract together than it willbe for your parents.

Pizza, videopartnership plannedMarco’s Pizza and

Family Video announcedMonday in Toledo theyplan to partner towardplacing Marco’s shops inthe movie rental chain’sstores.“This partnership is a

perfect fit for both of us,”said Marco’s CEO JackButorac. “When someonegoes to a pizza shop it isoften a take-home activ-ity. Now, consumers willhave the option of plac-ing their order andbrowsing videos. We’veessentially simplifiedthe pleasure of pickingup a pizza and movie fora night in.”“I think it’s going to

be a really popular busi-ness model that saves awhole trip for the cus-tomer,” Family Videopresident Keith Hoog-land said.Sidney has a Marco’s

Pizza and Family Videostore, both located on

Wapakoneta Avenue.Manager Kathy

Schulze at Family Videosaid Monday, “We’re hop-ing to have such a part-nership in Sidney.Marco’s is already closeto us and it would begreat.”At Marco’s, Joe Sara-

bia, a co-manager, saidstaff has heard rumorsof such a move, but won-der if Sidney, as a rela-tively small town, wouldqualify for the plannedprogram.The Toledo announce-

ment also said FamilyVideo is working with asystem that allows cus-tomers to reserve moviesonline they wish to pickup in the store. The twocompanies envision de-veloping that into a sys-tem that would allowsomeone to order both apizza and a movie andhave them delivered to-gether.

Edison receives grant forentrepreneur boot campPIQUA — The Busi-

ness and Industry Cen-ter at Edison, the SmallBusiness DevelopmentCenter (SBDC) and TheEntrepreneur Center inDayton have partneredto present an intenseweekend boot camp foraspiring and emergingentrepreneurs, titled“Growing Entrepre-neurs.”Area business people

will present topics thatare vital to the success ofnew business owners,such as what it takes tostart a business, market-ing, legal issues, finance,and leadership.The event is sched-

uled for April 20 fromnoon to 5 p.m. and April21 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.at Edison’s Piqua cam-pus. The fee is $59 andincludes lunch both daysas well as materials thatwill be helpful for newentrepreneurs.The arrival of Dr.

Cristobal Valdez as pres-ident last May signaleda new focus on entrepre-neurship for Edison.Under his direction, Edi-son applied for and re-ceived a small grantfrom the Coleman Foun-dation, a private grant-making foundationbased in Illinois. Infor-mation on their websitestates that their goal is

to “create change by sup-porting practical, finan-cially sustainable,results-oriented initia-tives” in the areas of en-t r e p r e n e u r s h i peducation, cancer re-search care and treat-ment, housing andeducation for the handi-capped, and diverse edu-cational programs. Thispurpose of this grantwas to help colleges cre-atively engage withpracticing entrepreneursfrom their communities.“The primary mission

of a community college isto serve its constituentsand promote economicdevelopment. Increasingbusiness entrepreneur-ship has proven to be asuccessful strategy foreconomic growth,” Dr.Valdez stated. “Edison iswell positioned to pro-vide the level of expert-ise necessary and iscommitted to partneringwith entrepreneurs. Weare confident that thesejoint efforts will increaseentrepreneurship in ourcommunities.”According to the

Small Business Admin-istration, small busi-nesses make up 43percent of the privatesector payroll and cre-ated 65 percent of thenew jobs over the last 17years. “People are begin-

ning to recognize the im-portant role entrepre-neurs play in oursociety,” stated Jim Hill,Business IncubationManager of The Entre-preneurs Center. “Re-search has shown thatone-third of our coun-try’s GDP is now createdby growing entrepre-neurial companies thatdidn’t even exist 20years ago.” Hill is excitedabout the opportunity tobe involved in the bootcamp. “It is a great timeto join the entrepreneur-ial movement and the“Growing Entrepre-neurs” Boot Camp is agreat way to getstarted!”The format of a boot

camp allows new entre-preneurs to receive in-formation in severalareas in a relativelyshort period of time. Inaddition, since the pre-senters will be localbusiness people, the par-ticipants will have thechance to network andlearn from successfulpeople who can helpthem with their busi-ness. Following the bootcamp, participants willcontinue to receive train-ing from Edison’s SBDCand will form their ownnetworking organiza-tion.The boot camp will

kick off with a lunch andspeakerWesley Gipe, thefounder of Agil IT, an or-ganization based in Troythat offers solutions inhealthcare informationtechnology.

truly believes this ven-ture is the first step ofmany in serving entre-preneurs and promotingtheir growth and develop-ment. “Edison will con-tinue to serve itscommunities andstrengthen its efforts topromote economic devel-opment, eventually in-creasing the offerings andservices to entrepreneurs.We invite and encourageanyone who has experi-enced entrepreneurialsuccess or has ideasabout how we can pro-mote entrepreneurship tojoin Edison in our efforts.”Registration can be

Law Director JeffAmick led a discussion ofprotocol for councilmeetings in the event ofa disaster or emergencyduring Sidney CityCouncil’s March worksession Monday night.

Questions addressedduring the discussion in-cluded:

* In a disaster, may apublic meeting of councilbe conducted at a loca-tion other than city hall?

Amick told councildesignated alternatemeeting sites are not re-quired to be locatedwithin the city — onlywithin the state of Ohio.

* May public partici-pation mandated byOhio’s Open Meetings(Sunshine) Law be sus-pended during suchemergencies?

“Exigent/emergencycircumstances do not,alone, constitute a justi-fiable reason to conductmeetings of council in away which violates openmeeting laws,” Amicktold council.

* May a city councilmember participate in apublic meeting by meansother than personal at-tendance?

“It is my opinion, andyou are so-advised, thatcouncil members’ atten-dance at council meet-ings, even during

periods of emergency,must be in person andnot by way of elec-tronic/telephone means,”Amick said.

In summary, the lawdirector told council:“Even in times of emer-gency, requirements ofOhio’s Sunshine Lawsmust be strictly adheredto. Advance planning,however, can be under-

taken to establish one ormore alternative meet-ing sites, in the eventdisaster prevents use ofcity hall to conduct busi-ness for city residents.”

City Surveyor RandyMagoto and PublicWorks Director ChrisClark reviewed severalOhio 47 traffic safety im-provements the Ohio De-partment of

Transportation has pro-posed, including replace-ment of seven trafficsignals in the downtownarea in 2012. ODOT willfund 80 percent of the$139,750 project.

To improve trafficsafety at the WalmartPlaza main entrance,ODOT has advised anew traffic signal andmodification of drive en-trances at Walmart,Aldi’s and Cazazadoresare warranted to allowbetter traffic flow in thecity’s highest traffic acci-dent area.

Magoto told councilthe project would be eli-gible for a 90 percentgrant with 10 percentlocal match. Staff isseeking a proposal fromChoice One Engineeringto prepare an applica-tion for the grant. Clarksaid Monday night’spresentation was a pre-cursor to staff ’s meet-ings withproperty/business own-ers. Council directedstaff to move forwardwith the project.

Mayor Mike Barhorstexpressed concern forthe cost of the project ata time many city streets

need repaving.The Public Works di-

rector also discussed astreet lighting assess-ment resolution to be in-troduced at council’sMarch 12 legislativemeeting decreasing as-sessment rates over thenext several years.

The proposed 2012 as-sessment, to be collectedin 2013, is $0.310 perfrontal foot for standardlighting and $0.727frontal foot for decora-tive lighting.

Magato and Clarkalso updated council onthe Wapakoneta Avenuereconstruction projectand other ODOT proj-ects.

Phase One of the Wa-pakoneta reconstructionhas been completed withonly yard restorationsand road striping to becompleted this spring.Design for Phase Two,from Parkwood Street toRussell Road, is beingreviewed by ODOT withright of way acquisitionto follow. The schedulecalls for bid advertisingnext February with con-struction for a period ofeight months.

It will be funded with

an approved ODOTSmall Cities $1.561 mil-lion grant a $200,000Ohio Public Works Com-mission grant, also ap-proved; and $75,000from Shelby County, fora total of $1.96 million.

Future ODOT proj-ects include the previ-ously mentioneddowntown traffic signalimprovements, Inter-state 75 spot repairs,and urban and non-urban paving in 2012,2013 and 2014 and re-placement of theTawawa Creek bridge.Raising of the StateRoute 29 bridge over In-terstate 75 is planned in2015 and Port JeffersonRoad reconstruction,from Russell Road toWells Street, is a 2015-2016 application.

In 2016, ODOT willcontribute $878,240 to-ward replacement of theMichigan Street bridgeover the CSX railroad inSidney.

Council also reviewedagenda items for itsMarch 12 legislativemeeting and the March19 meetings of the Boardof Zoning Appeals andPlanning Commission.

ing had reportedly beenbequeathed to the town-ship, but voter approvalwas still necessary.Washington Town-

ship’s levy was not so se-cure but managed toscore a victory, with 153(51.86 percent) of the317 ballots cast support-ing the levy and 142(48.14 percent) votingno. There were 22 non-voting ballots cast on theissue.Washington Town-

ship’s 2.0-mill fire levywill pay for:• Daily operational

costs, including fuel, in-surance, utilities andmaintenance expenses• Training of mem-

bers, including direct

training costs, equip-ment and permits.• Savings for replace-

ment of apparatus as re-quired.• Replacement of life

safety equipment, suchas air packs and protec-tive clothing.• Maintenance and

———Instead of running in

its usual channel aboveLockington, the MiamiRiver is now flowing overthe site of the big celeryfarm about a mile northof that village. Thechange of route of thewater is due to an accu-mulation of thick ice.Large cakes of ice re-leased by the recent thawhave washed down-stream and are beingheld by the bridge. It isnow about two miles inlength and about a milein width. It is said the fa-mous celery farm hasbeen completely ruinedfor the cultivation of cel-ery, by the ice plowing offthe soft earth on the sur-face.

Implications of PSA increase

Forgiveness can bring love into world of uncertainty

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Ofinterest to allmen are PSAnumbers. I am90, and my num-ber went from 4.6to 5.1 in threemonths. My doc-tor insists I see aurologist. I haveno symptoms ofprostate trouble,and this reallyhas me upset. Iam at a breakingpoint. — H.L.

ANSWER: PSA,prostate specific antigen,is a blood test for the de-tection of prostate can-cer. Experts argue aboutwhat value to choose to

indicate a posi-tive test result —that is, at whatlevel the testtruly indicatescancer. Many setfour as that num-ber. However,lower numbersare more mean-ingful at youngerages and highernumbers at olderages. In fact,many would stoptesting for PSA in

a man who’s 90 yearsold.

Let me give you somemore numbers and infor-mation that will only addto your grief.

If the PSA test in-

creases by 0.75 in oneyear, that’s a significantincrease that would trig-ger some doctors to askfor more testing. If theoriginal PSA was 4, thenan increase of 0.35 in oneyear would do the same.

All of this testing iscontested at the presentmoment. You are 90.Many feel that this age istoo old to demand that aman submit to more test-ing, like a biopsy. Othersfeel that if a man of 90 isin good health, that manshould be offered furtherinvestigation.

If I were in your shoes,I wouldn’t hesitate tohear what a urologisthad to say. I might, how-

ever, decline to seekmore testing and theprospects of an opera-tion. In truth, since I amnot that age, I’m not pos-itive how I would react.

The booklet onprostate cancer andprostate enlargementgives further informa-tion on these conditions.Readers can obtain acopy by writing: Dr.Donohue — No. 1001,Box 536475, Orlando,FL 32853-6475. Enclosea check or money order(no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6. Can. with therecipient’s printed nameand address. Pleaseallow four weeks for de-livery.

DEAR ABBY:Several years agoyou printed apoem about for-giveness in yourcolumn. It de-scribed very wellthe benefits of thepractice, and itwas accompaniedby a sort of “for-giveness sched-ule” for every dayof the week.

I clipped thecolumn and saved it, butover time I seem to havelost it. Could you pleaserun this piece again? —DANIELA INTORONTO

DEAR DANIELA: I’mglad to oblige. The poemyou have requested, “De-cide to Forgive,”was writ-ten by the late RobertMuller, former assistantsecretary-general of theUnited Nations. Now,with so much turmoilgoing on in the nation andin the world, its senti-ments are particularlyrelevant.

This poem ispart of a collectionof letters, poemsand essays thatare collected inmy booklet “Keep-ers” because somany Dear Abbyreaders hadclipped them andcontinue to re-quest that they bereprinted. Here isthe poem youhave requested:

DECIDETO FORGIVEDecide to forgiveFor resentment is neg-

ativeResentment is poison-

ousResentment dimin-

ishes and devours theself.

Be the first to forgive,To smile and to take

the first stepAnd youwill see happi-

ness bloomOn the face of your

human brother or sister.Be always the firstDo not wait for others

to forgiveFor by forgivingYou become themaster

of fateThe fashioner of lifeA doer of miracles.To forgive is the high-

est,Most beautiful form of

love.In return you will re-

ceiveUntold peace and hap-

piness.And here is the pro-

gram for achieving a trulyforgiving heart:

SUNDAY: Forgiveyourself.

MONDAY: Forgiveyour family.

TUESDAY: Forgiveyour friends and associ-ates.

WEDNESDAY: For-give across economic lineswithin your own nation.

THURSDAY: Forgiveacross cultural lineswithin your own nation.

FRIDAY: Forgiveacross political lineswithin your own nation.

SATURDAY: Forgiveother nations.

Only the brave knowhow to forgive. A cowardnever forgives.

It is not in his nature.Since I cannot reprint

the continual avalancheof requests I receive forreprints, for those whodesire them, my “Keep-ers” booklet can be or-dered by sending yourname and mailing ad-dress, plus check ormoney order for $7 (U.S.funds) to: Dear AbbyKeepers Booklet, P.O.Box447, Mount Morris, IL61054-0447.

Many people have toldme it makes a welcomegift for newlyweds, newparents, animal lovers,those who are grieving,and anyone who is recov-ering from an illness be-cause it’s a quick and easyread, and filled with wis-dom and humor on awidevariety of topics.

Anna coach Jack Billingsaid it several times whiletalking about his next game— “we played our worst gameof the season Saturday.”But he added after the final

time, “and we still won by 18.”In other words, despite

struggling for the first timethis season, the top-rankedand unbeaten Lady Rocketsstill show no signs of slowingas they march toward a sec-ond straight Division III statebasketball championship.Anna led Fayetteville by

just five points with six min-utes remaining in the gameSaturday in the district finalbefore finally pulling away,and Billing wasn’t pleasedwith his team’s play.But there were some exten-

uating circumstances. For onething, there were 55 foulscalled in the game, so neitherteam got into any kind of flow.And Billing thought back tolast season, when his teamalso had its share of strugglesin the district finals.“We were flat last year at

the district, too,” said Billing.“You have that layoff after thesectional, and we had a coublekids that didn’t have a lot oftournament experience. Ithink they’ll be ready(tonight). They just need to goout and play, and not think.”The Lady Rockets, 24-0,

take on 19-5 Hamilton Badinin tonight’s first semifinalgame at 6:15 at SpringfieldHigh School. The winnercomes back Saturday at 1:30to face the winner of the sec-ond game between MiamiEast and Middletown Madi-son for the right to move on tothe state tournament.Badin was fortunate to

make it to this round. TheLady Rams trailed by 11 inthe final period before rallyingto beat Madeira in overtime.Billing knows a lot about

the Badin squad. He said he’sseen them play four or fivetimes and also has a couple offilms on the Lady Rams.“We actually filled out our

brackets and had the fourteams that are in the re-gional,” said Billing. “So thatworked out good. Badin willface-guard us. They neverguard the ball out of bounds,so we set up some pressbreaks. We don't think their

press will hurt us, but wehave to finish at the otherend.”He said 5-foot-10 Kara Ger-

bus will be strong inside. “Shejumps as well as anybodywe’ve been,” Billing said. “Shewon’t shoot it from more than15 feet out.”Torey Stang is just a 5-1

sophomore, but Billing saidshe’s put up over 100 three-pointers this season. “Shelikes to hide and shoot thethree,” Billing said. “She’s notgoing to penetrate.”That’s left to point guard

Abby Fritsch, who is a 5-8 sen-ior.“She reminds me a little bit

of Courtney Reed (former Lo-ramie point guard),” Billingsaid. “When she goes, they go.She’s the fire of the team.She’s a stocky girl who likes topenetrate, and she controlsthe offense. And I think she’sthe team’s leading rebounder,too.”She will be put to the test

against Anna’s relentlesspressure defense, which haswilted teams all season long.Senior Ashley Frohne led theway Saturday, with a double-double of 15 points and 11 re-bounds, to go with sevensteals and four blocked shots.She is a force on the defensiveend.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —The Peyton Manning era inIndianapolis is expected toendWednesday, according to areport.Citing anonymous sources,

ESPN reported Tuesday thatthe Colts plan to hold a newsconference to announce thelong-expected decision. Man-ning and team owner JimIrsay are expected to attend,the network said.Colts spokesman Avis

Roper said he could not con-firm the decision — or that anews conference would beheld Wednesday — becauseIrsay was out of town andcould not be reached for com-ment. Neither Irsay nor Man-ning’s agent, Tom Condon,responded immediately tomessages left by The Associ-ated Press.Manning has said in the

past that all he wanted to dowas finish his career in aColts uniform, but an injuredneck forced him to miss all ofthe 2011 season.“I can’t tell you what an

honor it is to go start-to-finish with the same organi-zation here in Indianapolis.That is something I have al-ways wanted to do as a rookiecoming out,” Manning saidafter signing a five-year, $90million contract in July. “Ofcourse, you never know if thatis possible, but after yesterdayit is official that I will be anIndianapolis Colt for my en-tire career. I will not play foranother team.My last down offootball will be with the Colts,which means a great deal tome.”But things have changed

since last summer. Now itlooks like the NFL’s only four-timeMVP, and a former SuperBowl champion, won’t bewearing No. 18 for Indy.With a $28 million bonus

payment due Thursday toManning, his neck problems,and the fact that the Coltsown the No. 1 pick in April’sdraft, the Colts seem to havedeemed it too risky — and toopricey — to keep the longtimefranchise quarterback, whowill turn 36 later this month.The twists and turns of a

public debate between Man-ning and Irsay, who have beenfriends for more than adecade, created the sense thetwo had been fighting. Irsaytwice issued statements to

deny a rift.Still, with the Colts in full

rebuilding mode, Irsay hasbeen expected by many toplay for the future and letManning try to chase a secondSuper Bowl ring somewhereelse.The Colts are expected to

take Stanford quarterbackAndrew Luck with the firstpick in April’s draft.Manning’s impending de-

parture marks the end of a re-markably successful era thatincluded the 2006 league title.He started every meaning-

ful game for 13 seasons inIndy, 227 straight includingthe playoffs, and took theColts from perennial also-ranto one of the NFL’s modelfranchises.In the two decades pre-dat-

ing his arrival, the Colts won116 games, one division titleand made the playoffs threetimes. With Manning takingsnaps, the Colts have won 150games, eight division titles,two AFC championships andthe franchise’s first SuperBowl since moving from Balti-more in 1984.Indy broke the league

record for most regular-seasonwins in a decade (115), tiedDallas’ league record for mostconsecutive playoff appear-ances (nine) and the successchanged Indy from a basket-ball town to an NFL town.Manning is one of four

players with more than50,000 yards passing, one ofthree with more than 350touchdown passes and one oftwo quarterbacks with morethan 200 consecutive starts.The only non-active quarter-back with a rating higherthan Manning’s 94.9 is Hall ofFamer Steve Young (96.8). Hebroke all of the franchise’smajor career passing records,previously held by Hall ofFame quarterback John Uni-tas, and he may not be fin-ished.In 2009, the star QB had

the Colts on the cusp of his-tory with a 14-0 start.It’s been mostly bad news

ever since. The Colts pulledtheir starters against the NewYork Jets and lost the finaltwo games that season. Indythen wound up losing to NewOrleans in the Super Bowl.During the offseason, Man-ning had the first of his necksurgeries.

DREWCHARLES of New Bremen walks with his fa-ther Andy at Daytona International Speedway re-

cently. The 19-year-old competed in the ARCALucas Oil Slick Mist 200 and finished second.

BY WILL SANDERSOhio Community Media

NEW BREMEN —Rookie ARCA seriesdriver Drew Charlsonfound himself in one ofracing’s holy lands, Day-tona InternationalSpeedway, and secured asecond place finish inthe Lucas Oil Slick Mist200 on Feb. 18.Ascending the from

33nd place and later to13th in the race, whichled up to the Daytona500, Charlson, 19, ofNew Bremen, finishedout the race in secondplace and was onlybested by Bobby Ger-hart, who is a two-timeDaytona ARCA 200champion racer.Considering it was

Charlson’s first time rac-ing at Daytona, he saidhe was elated to come insecond place, but stillwishes he could have fin-ished first — but heknows he will have otherchances.

Born in Kentucky andlater moving to Ohio,Charlson first began rac-ing with go-karts whenhe was six years old.From there, he said,that’s all he needed todevelop not only a pas-sion for racing, but also adesire to be the bestdriver he could be.He says he also loves

how racing makes himfeel and he has modeledmuch of his racing ca-reer after Jeff Gordon,hoping one day to be-come as good as his rolemodel.“That’s my goal,”

Charlson said. “I want togo through every step ofracing and win at everylevel.”While he said he

would have enjoyed get-ting first place, he saidhe is satisfied with get-ting second.“Going into Daytona,

even though it was myfirst time, you alwayswant to win,” Charlsonsaid.

He said that at thestart of the race he gotnervous, but he said oncethe race started his but-terflies went away.“Once you get rolling

and the race gets under-way, it goes away,” saidCharlson, who saidwhen he is behind thewheel he is in his ele-ment and focused. “Itseems like the race fliesby. At that speed, thingsjust happen so fast. Ontelevision it might looklike the cars are goingslow, but you’re flyingout there.”The total time of the

race was one hour, 33minutes and 47 seconds.The Lucas Oil Slick

Mist 200 featured the fu-ture stars of racing andhad a total of 43 otherdrivers.But Charlson said he

is pleased with his fin-ishing position andnoted how just being atthe speedway and beingaround all of the otherdrivers is always a great

learning experience.“You get to mingle

with other drivers andyou get to learn somuch,” he said. “It’s awe-some. It’s well worth it.”One of Charlson’s

sponsors is independentAMSOIL dealer ElmerSchaeffer. AMSOIL isthe leader in syntheticlubricants.Schaeffer first met

Charlson about sevenyears ago when he wasracing in the midget carseries and the two talkedat a car show at thePiqua mall. Schaeffersaid he is glad he is asponsor of Charlson.“He is a really nice

kid,” Schaeffer said. “Heis considerate and kind.He is the perfect son youwould want.”Other area sponsors

include Aluma Alu-minum Trailers, Agri-Gold Corn SeedCompany, HeitkampCrop Insurance andMid-American Proper-ties.

Big Ten tourney

PARK RIDGE, Ill.(AP) -— MichiganState’s Draymond Greenwas chosen as player ofthe year in the Big Tenby two panels, one com-prised of media, theother made up ofcoaches. Green averaged16.2 points and a league-best 10.5 rebounds asthe Spartans shared theregular-season title withMichigan and OhioState.Michigan State's Tom

Izzo was selected ascoach of the year for athird time as the Spar-tans finished 24-7 and13-5 in the league afterstarting the season un-ranked.“This is a little bit of a

surprise. ... There were alot of deserving guys,”Izzo said.Joining Green on both

the coaches and mediafirst teamwere conferencescoring leader JohnShurna of Northwestern,Ohio State star JaredSullinger and Purdue’sRobbie Hummel. Thecoaches selected Wiscon-sin guard JordanTaylor tothe first team, and themedia gave the nod toTimFrazier of Penn State.There was a split for

freshman of the year: themedia tabbed TreyBurke of Michigan, andthe coaches chose centerCody Zeller of Indiana.Zeller led conference

freshmen in scoring andrebounding, averaging15.4 points and 6.4

boards per game. Burkeaveraged 14.6 points and4.6 assists for theWolverines.Burke and the

Wolverines found them-selves in an unlikely po-sition. They had to rootfor Ohio State to beatMichigan State so theycould share the three-way title.“It was crazy,” Burke

said. “We all flooded thehallways and werejumping up and downeverywhere.”The coaches also hon-

ored Ohio State’s AaronCraft as defensive playerof the year, and D.J. Byrdof Purdue as sixth manof the year.• Find the complete

EAST LANSING,Mich. (AP) — MichiganState coachTom Izzowas stillhurting 18hours afterhis teamlost to OhioState andhad to set-tle for ashare ofthe Big Ten title.Izzo said it was the

“toughest loss I’ve evergone through here,” inhis 17 seasons as a headcoach and didn’t backdown from that state-ment after his weeklynews conference.“When you have a 15-

point lead at home, youcan’t lose that,” he saidMonday.Michigan State

seemed set up to win theconference title outrightwhen it had a 24-9 leadmidway through the firsthalf against the Buck-eyes. Then, standoutfreshman Branden Daw-son injured his left kneeto hurt the Spartans’chances to hold onagainst Ohio State andperhaps to make a longrun in the NCAA tourna-ment later this month.William Buford shot a

rainbow from the top ofthe key with 1 secondleft, lifting Ohio State toa 72-70 win that forcedthe Spartans to sharethe conference champi-onship with the Buck-eyes and rival Michigan.The eighth-ranked

Spartans will be the top-seeded team at the con-ference tournament inIndianapolis.They’ll playthe winner of the Iowa-Illinois game on Fridaywithout a key starter.Dawson, who tore a

ligament in his left kneeSunday, will need sur-gery and about sixmonths to recover.The 6-foot-6, 220-pound for-ward ranks third on theteam in scoring, secondin rebounds and perhapsfirst in athletic ability.While Michigan State

plays in the Big Tentournament, Izzo willhave chances to tinkerwith his lineup and rota-tion without Dawson,who played 20-plus min-utes a game, before en-tering a 15th straightNCAA tournament.Michigan State might

start senior BrandonWood in place of Dawsonand likely will count on atrio of freshman to playmoremeaningfulminutes.

ELECTION 2012 Sidney Daily News,DWednesday,March 7,2012 A


SHELBY COUNTY Prosecutor Ralph Bauer (left) looks over election resultsTuesday with Tom Kerrifan. Bauer lost the prosecutor’s race to Tim Sell. Un-official results show Sell with 4,363 votes to Bauer’s 2,374 votes. Kerrigan,who filed petitions Monday to run as an Independent candidate, will face Sellin the November election.


BY RACHEL [email protected]

Primary election daywent smoothly in ShelbyCounty Tuesday, accord-ing to Chris Gibbs, chair-man of the ShelbyCounty Board of Elec-tions, but voter turnoutwas weak, with only 26percent of registered vot-ers turning up at thepolls.Primary turnout

tends to be lower whenan incumbent presidentis up for re-election. In2008, with no incumbenton the ballot, voterturnout was 42.92 per-cent in the county. In2004, 31.67 percent ofregistered voters went tothe polls.As might be expected,

turnout was consider-ably higher on the Re-publican side than theDemocrat, with nearlyall the contested races -including the presidency,two county seats and astate representative -falling on the GOP side.Of 8,397 ballots cast,

7,221 (85.99 percent)were Republican; 1,148(13.67 percent) were De-mocrat; two were GreenParty (0.02 percent);eight (0.10 percent) wereLibertarian; and18 (0.21percent) were nonparti-san.Though it might not

say much for the demo-cratic process, a smaller

turnout usually meansan easier time for thepoll workers.“It was very smooth,”

Gibbs said. “There wereno ballot shortages.”Gibbs said the sum-

mary of the final unoffi-cial vote totals wascompleted by 9:06 p.m.“Anything before 9

p.m. is our target,” Gibbssaid.There were 850 early

or absentee votes cast,Gibbs said, and 52 ofthose were still not re-ceived by the board ofelections as of Tuesday.Ballots mailed in musthave been postmarkedby Monday in order to becounted. In addition,there were 80 provi-sional ballots cast.All outstanding ab-

sentee and provisionalballots determined to beeligible will be countedMarch 16, when ballotsare certified, Gibbs said.Gibbs credited the

poll workers for theirhard work.“We go from two em-

ployees to 140 employees(on election days),” Gibbssaid. “They work for oneday and that day is 14 or15 hours long.”No need for recounts

appears to be on thehorizon for ShelbyCounty.“At first glance, it

looks like races wereclearly decided,” Gibbssaid.

Trustee Bob “Froggy”Guillozet of Sidney de-feated former SidneyCity Councilman TerryPellman for the countycommission nomination3,813 to 2,919, garnering56.64 percent of the vote.As he has no competitionin November, he is as-sured of a seat on theboard.“I had a lot of great

support from family andfriends,” Guillozet saidTuesday night. My oppo-nent is a great guy, but Ibelieve I can help thecounty work through thecurrent financial picturefor the betterment ofShelby County.”Pellman had been en-

dorsed by the ShelbyCounty RepublicanParty.“I want to thank my

supporters and congrat-ulate Bob on his win,”Pellman said followingthe election. “I told BobI’d help him in any way.Bob’s a friend of mineand we talked about thekind of race the publicwould like to see athigher levels of govern-ment. It was friendlyand a pleasure. I enjoyedevery minute of the cam-paign.”Asked about a future

gathering enough dele-gates to become thenominee, and I thinkwe’re on track to havethat happen,” he told re-porters as he arrivedhome in Massachusettsto vote in the primary.Later, he told support-

ers, “I’m going to get thisnomination.”Yet Santorum’s multi-

ple victories, coupledwith Gingrich’s win, pro-vided fresh evidencethat Romney’s conserva-tive rivals retain theability to outpoll him incertain parts of the coun-

try despite his huge or-ganizational and finan-cial advantages.Santorumwaited until

Oklahoma andTennesseefell into his column beforespeaking to cheering sup-porters in Ohio. “This wasa big night tonight,” hesaid. “We have won in theWest, the Midwest andthe South, and we’reready to win across thiscountry.”In all, there were pri-

maries in Virginia, Ver-mont, Ohio,Massachusetts, Georgia,Tennessee and Okla-homa. Caucuses inNorth Dakota, Idahoand Alaska rounded outthe calendar.Some 419 delegates

were at stake in the 10states.Romney picked up at

least 129 delegates dur-ing the evening, Santo-rum 47, Gingrich 42 andPaul at least 10.That gave the former

Massachusetts governor332, more than all his ri-vals combined, a totalthat included endorse-ments from members ofthe Republican NationalCommittee who auto-matically attend the con-vention and can supportany candidate theychoose. Santorum had139 delegates, Gingrich75 and Paul 35. It takes1,144 delegates to winthe nomination at theRepublican NationalConvention in Tampa,Fla., this summer.Ohio Republicans

were a party divided,based not only on thepopular vote but also in-terviews with voters asthey left their pollingplaces.

Santorum outpolledRomney among Ohioanswith incomes under$100,000, while Romneywon among those withsix-figure incomes andup. Romney won amongworking women; Santo-rum among women whodo not.Santorum won among

self-described conserva-tives, while Romney out-pointed his rival amongthose who said they aremoderate or liberal.Santorum was pre-

ferred by the half of theelectorate that is born-again. Romney was thefavorite among the halfof the electorate thatsaid it is not.In interviews in all

the primary states, Re-publicans said the econ-omy was the top issueand an ability to defeatObama was what mat-tered most as they madetheir Super Tuesdaychoices.

Planting for the futureSeedlings grow into windbreak

BOTKINS — When Craigand Doris Ambos plantedtheir windbreak 30 yearsago, not much thought wasgiven to ever having to re-place it. The real concernwas how long it would takefor the 15-inch seedlings togrow large enough to actu-ally have an effect on theirheating bills. It was hard tobelieve that those little twigscould develop into a hugewindbreak. But it did hap-pen. With trees, the annualchange is so subtle that it’sbarely noticeable. One dayyou look out your windowand realize that those littletwigs have grown into ma-ture trees.Unfortunately windbreaks

do have a life span. As thebottom branches thin out ordie off (sometimes the treesthemselves die), the positiveeffects of the windbreak isreduced. Such is the casewith the Ambos’ windbreak.Craig’s concerns now are fo-cused on rejuvenating thewindbreak. “It’s hard to be-lieve it’s been 30 years sincethey were planted,” statedCraig. “I probably shouldhave started at 20 yearsplanning for the next 10.”Fortunately for the Ambos’there is room to add rows ofnew seedlings both alongsideand in between the existingrows. However you can’tspeed up nature. It justtakes time for seedlings togrow and develop. Windbreaks are fairly

simple in design and func-tion, but there are basic de-sign elements to consider.The length and width, andchoice of trees are deter-mined by the homeowner’sgoals (be it wind protection,snow control or just aesthet-ics), space available and ob-stacles on the site. Theprevailing winter winds inwestern Ohio are from thenorth and the west. If thegoal is to reduce these winds,the windbreaks should be es-tablished on the north and

west. However, windbreaksoffer benefits when plantedon any side.An effective windbreak

can have as few as one rowor as many as space willallow. It can consist ofconifers (evergreens), hard-woods, shrubs or any combi-nation of these. To have asignificant wind reduction inthe winter, at least one rowshould be conifers. As a rule-of thumb, a windbreak willprotect an area for a dis-tance of 10 times the heightof the trees. As the treesgrow, the distance protectedis increased. Windbreaksnaturally have porosity.While most of the wind is di-rected up and over the trees,some air sifts through thebranches. This reduced airspeed allows snow to dropout within the windbreakand immediately downwind.This is important when lay-ing out a windbreak that isto be used to keep snow frompiling up in drives or aroundbuildings. The quietest area

is the space immediatelydownwind of the windbreak.This protected zone is a goodarea to plant shrubs andberry-producing plants forsong birds if desired. Windbreaks have many

benefits aside from the en-ergy savings realized inheating or cooling a home.Craig said, “It’s nicer work-ing in the yard in the winter.The shade makes it cooler onsummer evenings.” But, be-cause trees don’t last forever,when planning for a wind-break, it doesn’t hurt to givesome thought to replacingthe windbreak in years tocome. Choice of species,space available, the locationof buildings and other areasto be protected are all impor-tant. If space is limited, con-sideration might be given toplanting fewer rows initially,to allow for a replacementdown the road. Informationis available at the ShelbySoil & Water ConservationDistrict for planning a wind-break.

The District is currentlyconducting their annualseedling sale and will con-tinue through March 23 oruntil sold out. Soil& Wateris currently taking orders forhardwoods, conifers, andsmall trees and shrubs forwildlife habitat. Hardwoodspecies include white oak,red oak, thornless honey lo-cust, sugar maple, redmaple, tulip poplar and riverbirch. The following coniferspecies are available: Nor-way spruce, blue spruce,Black Hills spruce, whitepine, scotch pine, Americanarborvitae and bald cypress.Small trees and shrubspecies include red bud, com-mon lilac, sargent crabapple,black chokeberry, white flow-ering dogwood and butterflybush. To have a seedling order

form mailed or emailed toyou, call the office at 492-6520, ext. 3. Order forms arealso available on the websiteat www.shelbyswcd.org andon Facebook.


CRAIG AMBOS, of Botkins, stands in front of trees planted next to his house. The trees, whichhave grown from seedlings planted 30 years ago, provide a windbreak for his house.

4/22/1920 • 3/6/11The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:He leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul:He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’ sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
