Telling The Tri-Countys Story Since 1869

HERALD
Snowfall leaves roadways slick, closes schools
Staff and wire reports A late winter storm blowing through Ohio dumped 6 inches of snow or more on parts of the state early today, creating treacherous driving conditions for the morning rush hour and closing hundreds of schools, including those in the Tri-county area. Most of Ohio was under winter storm warnings or advisories through this morning. Sleet began falling early Tuesday afternoon as temperatures hovered around freezing. Sleet turned into snow with consistent heavy snow falling by 8 p.m. The storm came in a little later than anticipated but once it got going, we saw sleet in many areas, Emergency Management Director Rick McCoy said. The east side of Van Wert County saw quite a bit of ice. An inch and a half of snow fell by 9 oclock Tuesday night. This storm was putting down heavy snow fall rates at this point. A strong low pressure system began moving through the Ohio Valley and continued to pour snow on Northern Indiana and Northwest Ohio, including the Tri-county area Tuesday night. Snow was strong at times bringing up to an inch of snow an hour. The heaviest snowfall lasted from 8 p.m. to about 2 a.m. and when Winter Storm Saturn concluded this morning, the area saw as much as 5-8 inches. Southern and central Ohio got the brunt of the major storm, which had swept down from Minnesota and Wisconsin and barreled through the Midwest on its way to Washington. Officials in central Ohio advised people to stay home if possible. Authorities were responding to scores of accidents on Columbus and Cincinnati interstate highways, some caused by tractortrailer trucks that jack-knifed on roadways blanketed by the dense, wet snow. Power outages in some areas darkened traffic lights, slowing morning commuters even more. Airlines canceled dozens of flights at the Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus airports late Tuesday and today, many of them to or from Chicago and other Midwest cities hit by the storm. Hundreds of flights have been canceled nationwide. The fluffy, wet snow will soon turn into slushy muck, though, as forecasters are predicting rising temperatures later in the week. Most of the snow should be gone by the weekend in much of the state.

Council to OK water, sewer rate increases

BY NANCY SPENCER nspencer@delphosherald.com DELPHOS Legislation concerning water and sewer rate increases was heard by Delphos City Council on first reading Monday. A water rate increase of 2 percent plus the 2012 Consumer Price Index of 1.7 percent is proposed for the May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014, billing and a rate increase of 2 percent plus the 2013 CPI is set for the billing period of May 1, 2014, through April 30, 2015. Councilman Mark Clement asked Auditor Tom Jettinghoff to provide council a list of water customers using 800,001 cubic feet or more and customers using 500,001 to 800,000 cubic feet. We need to look at our biggest users, our businesses who use a lot, and make sure we protect them so we can protect our citizens, Clement said. If we were to lose one of those big users, we would all be in trouble. Council struck from the ordinance a rate increase of 2 percent plus the 2014 CPI for the billing period of May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016, saying they would revisit the rates and determine if an increase is needed in January 2015. A sewer rate increase of 5 percent plus the 2012 1.7 percent CPI is proposed for the May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014, billing period with a review in January 2014. Council also heard on first reading the appropriations budget for 2013. Total appropriations are $16,021,000 with $3,270,000 in the General Fund. The Cass Street water line project is moving forward with the first reading of an

Mark Clement, councilman ordinance allowing the safety service director and/or mayor to enter into a contract with the successful bidder on the project. The project is estimated at $44,000 and funds will be appropriated from the Water Improvement Fund. Bids will be opened on March 28. Cass Street resident Mary Winhover spoke to council asking for an update and an approximate start date on the project. I have been coming to council for several years and I am getting frustrated, Winhover said. Now you are talking about a rate increase on water I cant drink or cook with and I have to have my line flushed every two weeks. I just need to know when this is going to be taken care of. Safety Service Director Greg Berquist told Winhover the project should start in early Spring and be completed fairly quickly. See COUNCIL, page 12

HIV/AIDS still prevalent in Tri-county area

After 31 years of detailing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, it seems as if the world has become a bit desensitized to the headlines regarding the number of HIV and AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) related cases and deaths. Unfortunately, the disease is still very prevalent in the Tri-county area. According to the Allen County Health Department, there are an average of 8 new HIV cases each year in the county. It is contracted in four modes: blood, semen, vaginal secretions and through breast feeding. Some people do not see themselves as

In addition, many new diagnosed cases of HIV are accompanied by the chronic bacterial coinfection Syphilis. In 2007, there were 102 people living in Allen County diagnosed with HIV (retrovirus) infections, which included 38 white males, 14 white females, 24 black males, 19 black females, 3 Hispanic males, 2 Hispanic females and 2 unknown. Of those cases, those aged 45-49 were the highest percentage of diagnosed cases at 20 percent, followed by the 40-44-year-old range at 17 percent, and the 50-54- and 55-64-year-old range, each shared the 15 percent ranking.

Even after death, Chavez Syrian refugee figure hits 1 million gets choice of successor
The Associated Press By FRANK BAJAK and FABIOLA SANCHEZ CARACAS, Venezuela Even in death, Hugo Chavezs orders are being followed. The man he anointed to succeed him, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, will continue to run Venezuela as interim president and be the governing socialists candidate in an election to be called within 30 days. Foreign Minister Elias Jaua confirmed that Tuesday, just hours after Maduro, tears running down his face, announced the death of Chavez, the largerthan-life former paratroop officer who had presided over Venezuela as virtually a one-man show for more than 14 years. It was not immediately clear when the presidential vote would be held. Considerable funereal pageantry was expected to honor Chavez, the political impresario widely adored among Venezuelas poor for putting the oil-rich state in their service. Seven days of mourning were declared, all school was suspended for the week and friendly heads of state were expected in this economically challenged and violenceafflicted nation for an elaborate funeral Friday. No date or place were announced for Chavezs burial. Venezuelas constitution specifies that the speaker of the National Assembly, currently Diosdado Cabello, should assume the interim presidency if a president cant be sworn in.

For The Record

This is not the moment to highlight what separates us. This is not the hour for differences; it is the hour for union, it is the hour for peace.
Henrique Capriles, Opposition leader But the officials left in charge by Chavez before he went to Cuba in December for his fourth cancer surgery in a little less than two years have not been especially assiduous about heeding the constitution, and human rights and free speech activists are concerned they will flaunt the rule of law. Some in anguish, some in fear, Venezuelans raced for home and stocked up on food and water after the government announced Chavezs death, declining to say what exactly killed him. On Monday night, the government had said the president had been weakened by a severe, new respiratory infection. Tuesday was a day fraught with mixed signals, some foreboding. Just a few hours before announcing Chavezs death, Maduro virulently accused enemies, domestic and foreign and clearly including the United States, of trying to undermine Venezuelan democracy. The government said two U.S. military attaches

had been expelled for allegedly trying to destabilize the nation. But in announcing that the president was dead, Maduro shifted tone, calling on Venezuelans to be dignified heirs of the giant man. Let there be no weakness, no violence. Let there be no hate. In our hearts there should only be one sentiment: Love. Love, peace and discipline. Opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who lost to Chavez in the October presidential election and is widely expected to be the oppositions candidate to oppose Maduro, was conciliatory in a televised address. This is not the moment to highlight what separates us, Capriles said. This is not the hour for differences; it is the hour for union, it is the hour for peace. Capriles, the youthful governor of Miranda state, has been bitterly feuding with Maduro and other Chavez loyalists who accused him of conspiring with far-right U.S. forces to undermine the revolution. Across downtown Caracas, shops and restaurants begin closing and Venezuelans hustled for home, some even breaking into a run. Many looked anguished and incredulous. I feel a sorrow so big I cant speak, said Yamilina Barrios, a 39-year-old clerk who works in the Industry Ministry, her face covered in tears. He was the best this country had. Others wished Chavezs departure had come through the ballot box.

Ohio officials still seek Police unsure if driver distracted Medicaid flexibility
BRIEFS
in Ohio crash
TOLEDO (AP) Authorities in Ohio say they are looking into whether a Michigan man who died after a crash on Interstate 75 was distracted by his phone. Toledo police initially reported the driver was texting before the crash, but they now arent sure if that is what happened. Officers say 51-year-old Ken Harder of Temperance, Mich., died Tuesday from injuries suffered in the violent crash Monday afternoon. The Blade newspaper reports Harders SUV slammed into a parked Ohio Department of Transportation maintenance truck whose workers were picking up litter along I-75 in Toledo. The truck was parked off the roadway. Police say a witness told them the SUV driver was distracted by his cellphone. The victims daughter tells The Blade that her father didnt know how to text. By ANN SANNER The Associated Press COLUMBUS Ohio continues to press the federal government for flexibility as state lawmakers review whether to expand the Medicaid program under President Barack Obamas health care law. Greg Moody, director of the governors Office of Health Transformation, told reporters Tuesday hes encouraged by discussions with the Obama administration, but he said its too soon to say the two sides have reached an agreement. Republican Gov. John Kasich has discussed whether Ohioans newly eligible for Medicaid under an expanded program could instead get private coverage subsidized by Washington. Those lowincome individuals could then purchase insurance in the new health insurance market, known as the exchange. I believe we are getting closer, but we are not going to raise hopes until were pretty certain that even at the technical detail, we can get this done, Moody said. The state anticipates roughly 366,000 low-income Ohioans will be eligible for coverage beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the health program for the poor that already provides care for one of every five residents in the state. Kasich announced last month in his two-year state budget proposal that he would push for expanding Medicaid, but he wants to know whether the state has flexibility to implement the expansion. The Ohio Legislature, controlled by Republicans, will have to approve Kasichs decision. And many of them are averse to the Democratic presidents signature health care law and resistant to expanding government programs. In an expanded Medicaid program, the federal government would pay the entire cost for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent still well above Ohios current level of 64 percent. But even at those generous rates, some Republicans in the Legislature say they fear being stuck with longterm costs. Ohio Medicaid Director John McCarthy has discussed flexibility around expansion with federal officials and other states counterparts as recently as Monday, Moody said. Among the open-ended questions are what benefits could those low-income individuals receive in the new health insurance exchange and whether the state could impose a co-payment. Moody declined to be more specific about what the state might want. Were not going to talk about details because were still having those conversations, he said. The federal law expanded Medicaid to cover lowincome people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,400 a year for an individual. The provision will mainly benefit low-income adults

Racino owners to donate $3M for fairgrounds

LEBANON (AP) The owners of a new racino to be constructed in southwest Ohio have agreed to donate $3 million for redevelopment of the countys fairgrounds, where their harness racing track currently operates. Miami Valley Gaming said Tuesday that it will donate $1 million this year to the county to support redevelopment of the current Lebanon Raceway at the Warren County Fairgrounds. Miami Valley Gaming also will donate an additional $500,000 each year for the next four years. Wa r r e n County Commissioner Pat South says the donation will help the county redevelop the fairgrounds property for future use.

who do not have children and currently cant get Medicaid in most states. Separately, the overhaul provides subsidized private insurance for middle-class households. The U.S. Supreme Court later gave states the choice of participating in an expanded Medicaid program. Kasich is one of eight Republican governors to endorse the expansion despite misgivings about the health care overhaul. Moody said he has been meeting with Republican and Democratic lawmakers on the Medicaid expansion proposal, which is being reviewed in Ohio House hearings. Also on Tuesday, leaders from the Ohio Council of Churches, the Catholic Conference of Ohio and other religious entities showed their support for extended coverage of Medicaid at a Statehouse news conference. The leaders of Christian and Jewish organizations cited religious texts in their backing of the proposal, and they urged lawmakers to get behind the idea. Jim Tobin of the Catholic Conference of Ohio said bishops represented by the group believe access to quality health care is an affirmation of human dignity and a basic safeguard of human life from conception until natural death.

COLUMBUS (AP) A lawyer stripped of her leading role in a legal challenge to Gov. John Kasichs private nonprofit job-creation agency has asked Ohios high court to allow her to argue the case against JobsOhio on her own. Former ProgressOhio attorney Victoria Ullmann told the Ohio Supreme Court in recent court filings that two politically opposed think tanks have formed a suspicious alliance that may be designed to undermine the lawsuits chances. Ullmann said the libertarian 1851 Center for Constitutional Law has virtually nothing in common with liberal ProgressOhio, yet center director Maurice Thompson has been assigned to argue the case in her place. The governor has publically stated that he is determined to take revenge on the people involved in this case to try to disrupt the litigation, Ullmann wrote in an unusually angry motion on Feb. 28. Thompsons actions here may be part of a coordinated action by the governors allies to derail the case. Countered Thompson: What do you say to that? No, there is no conspiracy to save JobsOhio. Its just a very important case. ProgressOhio Executive Director Brian Rothenberg said his intention in allowing Thompson to argue the case is to reflect the broad political interest in the Supreme Courts ruling. The standing issue is important not just to the left, not just to the right, but to everybody, Rothenberg told The Associated Press. Whatever decision we make is made in the best interests of the larger issue. Ullman told justices she was the one who initiated and built the 2-year-old constitutional challenge to JobsOhio yet Thompson treated her as if she were invisible. The action alleges, among other things, that JobsOhios framework violates a prohibition in the Ohio Constitution against turning taxpayer dollars over to a private entity. The core argument has been sidelined, however, as the two sides jockey over whether Ullmanns side has standing to sue. So far, lower courts have ruled the parties cant show harm and therefore dont have standing. The Supreme Court has agreed to settle the issue. Kasich has expressed public frustration and ire over the legal challenge, which he views as an impediment to his jobcreation efforts. Hes called the lawyers obstructionists and nihilists and in January threatened to introduce a bill requiring the loser to pay attorneys fees. His spokesman declined to comment on Ullmanns allegations that allies may be fueling the 1851 Centers involvement, although Thompson said it isnt true. Ullmann wants the court to uncouple both ProgressOhio and the 1851 Center from the lawsuit. She raises a series of ethical claims against Thompson.

Jennings students place at regional science fair

Information submitted The International Science and Engineering Northwest Ohio Regional Science Fair was held Saturday at Northwest State Community College in Archbold. Students from Northwest Ohio who had received top scores in their local or county science fairs were eligible to participate in the Regional Fair. Fort Jennings sent six students to the Regional Science Fair. Each student was asked to give a short presentation to a pair of judges that included science teachers, professors, college students, and industry experts. Judging for Special Awards was also done by another set of judges throughout the morning. Marissa Krietemeyer received an excellent rating. Kyle Maag received a superior with a second-place ranking in the energy category. Griffin Morman received a superior with a second-place ranking in plants. Erin Eickholt received a superior with a first-place ranking in Environmental Science. Troy Ricker received a superior with a second-place ranking in Animal Science and a first-place special award from the Navy and Marines.

LANDMARK

My Amish reality
By Kevin Williams Oh you shouldnt have done that Why not? I asked quizzically Because Ill move here and take this piece and then this one, the Amish man said with a hearty laugh, eyes twinkling and prominent white beard casting a shadow over the well-worn board. It was the checkers equivalent of check-mate. Here, Ill let you take that move back and start over, he said charitably. I should have known better than to challenge a champion checker player to a match. He creamed me in three straight games, before we headed out into the beautiful Holmes County, Ohio countryside for a great lunch and conversation. Youll find someone for your show, Im sure of it, the 70-year-old Amish man said when we parted ways. And youre welcome to stay here any time. It was a similar refrain I heard from Amish friends across the country over the past six months. This show really isnt a bad idea. Its probably not right for our family, but youll find someone. I know you will, you just have to keep looking, said one Amish minister in Ohio, his brown beard neatly trimmed and gold-rimmed spectacles gleaming. And so I did keep looking. I looked among the incredibly kind Amish of Manton, Michigan; I parleyed with an Amish bishop in Virginia at his mountaintop lair, I explored the warren of roads which honeycomb Holmes County, Ohio and I stood on the wind-swept prairies of Kansas. All the while meeting and spending time with amazingly accommodating and open-minded Amish families. I wanted you all to meet the Amish Ive met, to see them as Ive seen them. I still want that and if you want that too, I could use your help. Television lately has had an itch for the Amish. So theyve scratched it with shows that have become wildly popular like Discovery Channels Amish Mafia and TLCs Breaking Amish. Television has stumbled upon what so many would-be novelists have discovered: put a bonnet or beard on it and it sells. As someone who has worked in relative obscurity over the past two decades to provide a balanced picture of Plain life, Im excited that there is so much interest in the Amish. I think theres a lot we can learn from this fascinating religion and culture. Im not sure, however, if such shows are the way to go about it. Not that TV and the Amish, if done right, are totally incompatible. There have been a handful of wonderfully informative programs about the Amish. So it was with a real sense of intrigue that I listened to several production companies that approached me last summer about developing a TV series based on my Amish experiences. It was a time in my life when I was and

COMMUNITY
still am searching for a way to infuse all of my Amish friendships and travels with deeper meaning. I wanted to do everything my college philosophy degree didnt teach me: hauling manure, baling hay, chopping wood, and milking cows. I wanted to learn to drive a buggy and immerse myself in the deep spirituality of their ways. Ive been writing about the Amish my whole adult life, but I wanted at least for a month or two to live like the Amish. Not to become Amish that ship has sailed but to live like them for awhile and then go back to my day job hopefully profoundly and spiritually refreshed by the experience. Id become a better husband and future father from it. It would be the most difficult thing Id ever do, but in the end, Id come out better for it. I have many Amish friends who would take me in, but me and a TV crew? That was the challenge. One Amish man startled me by suggesting: Why dont you and your wife just rent out our farmhouse, dress like us and pretend to be Amish, no one would ever know. Most outsiders erroneously assume that all Amish have a theological objection to photography but that isnt the case. Some have theological objections, others sociological qualms, and others none at all. I knew finding a family wouldnt be easy, but I thought offering a wholesome, insightful show to counter the current crop of TV fiction while deepening my Amish experience was a noble goal. So I undertook a months-long journey which I made at the production companys behest and my own expense. It was a journey that took me on a grueling, sometimes harrowing search from the upper thumb of Michigan to a bishops mountaintop lair the hulking hills of western Virginia. Along the way I learned a lot about myself and even more about the Amish. In the end, I did find some Amish families willing to take me in and open their homes to TV crews. None of us were doing it for the pay (reality TV pay is paltry unless your name is Snookie), although I will admit the exposure this would give my work would put The Amish Cook column on sound ground forever and that was appealing. H o l l y w o o d , however,wants big, loud personalities and in the end myself and my Amish friends were told we didnt fit the bill. Big and loud may well work for shows about repo-men, gator wrestlers, animal psychics, pawn shop owners, and cake decorators. But after 20 years of being The Amish Cooks editor, I think people are drawn to the Amish for precisely the opposite reason such aforementioned shows are popular. The Amish represent a step back, a deep breath, a connection to a time when tablets, smart phones and wifi didnt rule our lives. People dont want Honey Boo Boo in a bonnet, they want quietude, serenity and honesty. I dont think a program about the Amish need be a staid, somber boring documentary but it doesnt have to fit the shout-filled cookie cutter reality-show mold either. In a career littered with the debris of missed opportunities, Im not sure this ones over yet. I have a hunch that theres a tremendous appetite out there for a more cerebral, sensible show about the Amish one that is fun but also respectful, educational and entertaining.

Charity line lifts Jays to district finals Grothaus 3-ball

DHI Correspondent sports@putnamsentinel.com

ELIDA St. Johns had beaten New Bremen in double-overtime at home Feb. 15. The rematch didnt go as long but the result was the same as the Blue Jays took the lead for good late in the third period and then drilled 15-of-17 free throws in the fourth period to eliminate the Cardinals 57-45 in the Division IV District semifinals Tuesday night on the Union Bank Court inside the Elida Fieldhouse. The Blue Jays (18-5) advance to take on St. Henry 7 p.m. Friday in the District finals. The Jays got a 3-ball from junior Ryan Koester (14 markers on 4 treys) with 13 ticks left in the third canto to take a 36-35 edge into the finale. Ryan has really shot well over the last 5-6 games, shooting over 60 percent from beyond the arc. He is a very capable scorer and has finally started to peak over the last part of the season, St. Johns coach Aaron Elwer said. Koester began the fourth with another bomb at 7:23 to put the Jays up 39-35. He started a trek to the freethrow line at 6:20 with hitting the first-of-2 singles. His 3-ball at the 4-minute mark made it 45-37 and was the last fielder for the Jays, right after a Parker Manger (10 points) deuce at 4:11 made it 42-37, as close as the Cardinals could get. They were also within 47-42 on a triple by senior Luke Schwieterman (14 markers) at the 3:30 mark but the Jays were 12-of-12 in the last 3:17 to make the Cardinals (18-6) fouling late in the contest moot. Senior Curtis Geise (24 markers) hit 6-of-6 singles in the period to lead the way as the Jays pulled away late, with 6-6 senior Ben Homan and sophomore Carson Manger both fouling out in an effort to prolong the game. We shoot over 77 percent from the line over the season, breaking the all-time mark by six percentage points. The kids take the challenge to heart and make a concerted effort to shoot them well in practice, Elwer continued. Its not just one or two; its a total team effort. The kids

take great pride in stepping up at the line. For New Bremen coach Adam Daugherty, it was a bad situation to be in. They hit their free throws. We were within five points and then had a couple of good looks at the basket and didnt make them; instead of being within a possession, they hit a big 3 and now we have to foul, Daugherty noted. They are too good at the free-throw line; its like being down 15 in that situation. Both teams used man-to-man defenses to open the contest and basically played those the entire way. The Cardinals D focused on Geise and fellow senior Ryan Buescher (9 markers, 8 boards), while the Jays tried to neutralize the Cardinals height inside. When junior Eric Clark hit a trey from the key with 21 ticks left, the Jays led 14-11 but two singles by Manger (10 counters) at the 5.2-second mark made it 14-11. The Jays seemed on the verge of taking control, pushing out to a 7-point edge twice in the second stanza, the last at 19-12 on a Geise drive to the hoop at 4:12. However, the Cardinals slowed down the Jays attack after that and got within 21-19 on a trey by Luke Schwieterman (14

counters) at 1:50. Geise hit a pull-up jumper from inside the paint at 26 ticks to make the halftime score 23-19. New Bremen made a concerted effort to go inside to their size advantage in the paint in the third period and it worked, taking their last lead at 33-28 on a 3-point play by Homan (8 caroms) at the 3:30 mark. However, the Jays rallied with a closing 8-2 spurt, getting that triple by Koester from the right wing with 13 ticks on the board, to take that 1-point edge into the finale. We had been using our matchup zone most of the season but the last few games, weve gone with our man-to-man a lot. We challenged the kids and they have responded, Elwer added. Defense is number one and rebounding is number two after that; our focus is to limit the opponent to one shot per possession. Its an effort thing and I am so proud of that effort; we played with a great sense of urgency. Clark missed the last half after having his bell rung in the first half. Overall, St. Johns, the visiting team on the scoreboard, canned 15-of-38 shots from the floor, 7-of18 downtown, for 39.5 percent and 20-of-26 at the line (76.9%). They outrebounded their foe 32-28 (5-8 offensive) as Evan Hays added seven. They also had one less turnover 12-13 and won the foul battle 14-21. Geise added four steals and Buescher three assists. This is the hardest-working team Ive ever had; effort has never been an issue. Give St. Johns credit, Daugherty added. They simply beat us to every loose ball; they won all the effort plays and that was the key. We had good shots at the rim all night I can think of maybe two bad shots all game but we werent finishing strong against a very physical team. New Bremen connected on 17-of-51 shots, 4-of-6 3-balls, for 33.3 percent and 7-of-10 singles (70%).

St. Henry eliminates Crestview 61-51 By JIM COX DHI Correspondent sports@timesbulletin.com ELIDA - In a game that was as even as it could be for 26 minutes, St. Henry pulled away in the last six to top Crestview 61-51 in Tuesday nights second district semifinal. That sets up a final matchup of Midwest Athletic Conference cochamps St. Henry (22-3) and St. Johns Friday night at 7 p.m. Crestviews fantastic season ends at 20-4. Crestview tied it at 35-35 on a Preston Zaleski steal and layup with 41 seconds left in the third quarter but the Redskins 6-5 sophomore point guard Ryan Mikesell tipped one in at the buzzer to give St. Henry a 37-35 lead after three. After the Skins superstar Kyle Stahl put in a nifty 10-foot spinner to up the lead to 39-35, Crestviews Damian Helm did likewise, the first of his four fourth-quarter field goals, but that 2-point margin was as close as the Knights would get. Helm challenged the powerful Redskin front line for those four buckets and, along with Cam Etzlers 6-of-8 free throws, kept Crestview within 4-8 points until the last minute when Redskin free throws salted it away. St. Henry hit 11-of-15 freebies and 6-of-8 fielders in the final eight minutes. Crestview led much of the first quarter but Mikesell swished a 3-pointer from the left wing with four seconds left to give St. Henry a 15-14 lead after one, Stahl having scored eight points on a variety of inside moves, including shots with either hand. The roles were reversed in the second period as the Skins led throughout until Zaleski nailed a triple from the right wing at the 1:15 mark to put the Knights up 23-22. Nobody scored after that, leaving Crestview with a one-point lead at the break. There were four ties and one lead change in the third period, during which neither team led by more than four. Stahl added nine points to his total during those eight minutes.

St. Henry was a bit better in all four major statistical categories. The Redskins outshot the Knights from the field 50 percent (23-of-46) to 43 percent (19-of-44) and from the line 71 percent (12-of-17) to 63 percent (12-of-19). St. Henry won the boards 29-26 and had one less turnover, 9-10. Stahl had a magnificent night with 25 points, 14 rebounds and four assists. Mikesell and Jordan Bender added 15 and 12 points, respectively. Helm, Tyson Bolenbaugh and Etzler led Crestview scoring with 17, 13 and 12, respectively. Bolenbaugh and Zaleski had eight rebounds apiece. Helm led in assists with three. It was the final high school basketball game for Crestview seniors Josh Ream, Alex Brown and Alec Heffner.

LOCAL ROUNDUP

FINDLAY Plan A didnt work out for Columbus Grove but a quick adjustment to the plan turned out to be just fine for the Bulldogs. The adjustment to the coachs plan resulted in Collin Grothaus pulling up for a 3-pointer with time winding down. His shot hit nothing but net to lift the Bulldogs to a 47-45 win over Vanlue in the second game of the Division IV district semifinals Tuesday night at LibertyBenton High School. The win sends the Bulldogs (17-7) to the district finals Friday night at Liberty-Benton against Putnam County League foe Leipsic (21-4) at 7 p.m. for the right to play in the Bowling Green State University regional next Tuesday. The Vikings advanced to the finals with a 71-50 win over Arlington in the first game. Columbus Grove had a 26-23 halftime lead but saw the Wildcats catch fire in the third to take a 36-31 lead to the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs scored the first five points of the fourth to tie the game at 36-36 as Grothaus had three of the points, a free throw and basket. The Wildcats (18-7) regained the lead on a 3-pointer by Austin Smith before the Bulldogs Blake Hoffman and Grothaus hit back-to-back 3-pointers for a 42-39 lead with 2:48 left. Another 3-pointer by Vanlues Smith tied the game before Will Vorhees hit a midrange jumper with 2:15 left that gave the Bulldogs a 44-42. Vanlue came back to take a 45-44 lead as Zach Garber hit the second of two free throws with 1:41 left and Nick Hagerty canned a jumper with a minute left. In the next 50 seconds, the Bulldogs missed a pair of shots and the Wildcats one to set up the exciting finish. After a Grove timeout with 21.2 seconds left, the Bulldogs worked the clock before Grothaus launched a 3-pointer inside of 10 seconds left. The shot missed but the rebound bounced out of bounds off a Vanlue player, giving the Bulldogs another chance. Columbus Grove was looking to get the ball to Vorhees or Rieman for a short-range shot or layup but Vorhees was well covered after getting the ball and he dished it over to

Bluffton off to best start in school history at 5-1 By Kyle Stover Sports information assistant PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. - The Bluffton University baseball team is off to its best start in school history through six games after a doubleheader sweep of Muskingum University on Tuesday. Bluffton kept the Muskingum bats in check in game one, rolling to a 4-0 victory. The Beavers broke a tie late in game two to pull away for a 9-5 win. Ben Roeschley (Graymont, Ill./ Flanagan) was dominant in his first start of the season, throwing a 7-inning complete game shutout. He allowed just seven hits and one walk while striking out three. Kyle Niermann (Napoleon) led off with a single for the third straight game but the Beavers did not break into the scoring column until the top of the fourth. Sophomore Tyler Spalding (Willis, Mich./Lincoln) started the frame off when he was hit by a pitch.

Cade Randolph (Marengo/Highland) reached on an error by Muskingum starting pitcher Justin Warrington. After Spalding and Randolph both moved up on a wild pitch, they were plated on back-to-back singles by Mike Castro (Reynoldsburg) and Jeff Roth (Bellevue). A Niermann single knocked in Castro before an Anthony Cianci (Ravenna/Southeast) sacrifice fly picked up Roth to round out the scoring in the inning. Roeschley (1-0) kept Muskingums offense in check the entire game, stranding runners on third base twice. He ended the game in style, striking out Muskingums Darren Garrett to cap off the win. Niermann and Roth led the Beaver offense in game one, both going 2-for-3 with an RBI. Cianci and Castro each had an RBI in the victory. Game two starter Todd Stover (Tipp City/Tippecanoe) started where Roeschley left off, setting the Muskies down 1-2-3 in the top of the first inning. He kept Muskingum off the board until the fourth inning when the Muskies tallied four runs. He gave up just one more run in the sixth inning, an unearned score. Stover finished his first collegiate start on the mound with six innings pitched, six hits, five runs (4 earned) and three strikeouts. Brad Schlabach (Fredericksburg/ Hiland) threw three perfect innings of relief and picked up his first win of the year. The sophomore (1-1) struck out two in a rebound performance after his opening-day loss. Bluffton scored quickly to start off the game as the second batter for the Beavers, Cianci, launched a solo home run. Miles Richardson (Granville/Newark Catholic) followed Ciancis blast with a double and scored later in the inning courtesy of a Muskie error. The Beavers added a run in the second inning on an RBI single by Cianci before tacking on two more in the third, highlighted by an RBI double from Castro. Muskingum rallied to tie the game at five in the sixth inning but Bluffton would not allow that to last for long, tallying three runs in the seventh inning to take a lead they would not

relinquish. That inning opened with a single by Jake Townley (Mansfield/ Madison). After a groundout by David Ianiro (Highland Heights/Mayfield), Greg Franks (Smithville) smacked a double to left field, scoring Townley. A Castro double scored pinch-runner Michael Alexander (Monroe) and an RBI single by Niermann capped off the inning. Tim Webb (Delaware/Worthington Christian) singled to lead off the eighth inning and came around to score on a wild pitch, ending the scoring for the game. The lead would be preserved the rest of the way by Schlabachs stellar relief pitching. Niermann, Cianci, Richardson and Castro all had two hits in the game two victory, while Franks had two RBI. Bluffton moved to 5-1 with the pair of wins, marking the best start through six games in school history. Muskingum fell to 0-4. The Beavers now get a well-deserved day off in Florida before playing again on Thursday against Moravian College. That 9-inning game will begin at 11 a.m. in Port Charlotte, Florida. Bluffton drops two on third day of Rebel Spring Games Kissimmee, Fla. - The Bluffton University softball team saw its 4-game winning streak to start the season come to an end with a pair of losses to Alvernia and Simpson on Tuesday. A defense that had been solid during the first four games came up short this afternoon as the Beavers finished the day with seven errors, including five in a 9-6 loss to Simpson. Alvernia put up two unearned runs in the third inning of game one, marking the first time this season that Bluffton trailed in a game. The Crusaders, who went 38-11 last season, took advantage of an error and an illegal pitch to push two runs across the plate in the third after coming up empty in the second despite three straight singles to open the frame. Pinch-hitter Jo Bondra (Highland Heights/Mayfield) laced a 1-out sinSee ROUNDUP, page 8

Grothaus, who took a couple of dribbles before pulling up for a 25-footer that hit nothing but net, sending the Bulldog student section rushing onto the floor to mob their hero. I didnt have any time to think about it, Grothaus said of the shot. There wasnt much time left and I just put it up. It felt good; I fell down and hoped it would go in. I saw it go through the net and I just had to celebrate after that. We were running a play for Vorhees or Rieman but they covered the blocks and we threw it over the top. I got it and had to make a play. Collin had the game of his career, Grove coach Ryan Stechschulte said. We had a senior that wasnt ready to go home yet. Thats just kind of the way it is. Grothaus finished with a game high 22 points, including five 3-point goals. Ten of the seniors points came in the opening quarter as he kept the Bulldogs within reach of the Wildcats. Grothaus hit two 3-pointers and a pair of 2-point baskets as Grove trailed 16-13 after one as Linden Smith had a putback just before the buzzer for the Wildcats. The Wildcats went up 18-13 early in the second quarter on a putback by 6-10 University of Toledo recruit Garber before Grove went on a 11-0 run that gave them a 24-18 lead. Grothaus opened the run with his third 3-pointer of the game before sophomore Jace Darbyshire stepped up and hit four free throws, while Rieman and Vorhees added baskets. A Garber basket ended the Bulldog run before Brady Shafer answered back for the Bulldogs. A 3-pointer by Hagerty ended the first-half scoring, leaving the Wildcats down three. After a good offensive first half, the Bulldogs struggled in the third quarter, scoring just five points. Shafer had three of their points and Vorhees the other two as Vanlue ended the quarter with a 6-0 run to take a 36-31 lead. Hagerty had eight points in the quarter for the Wildcats as he hit a pair of 3-pointers. The second half, the pace really slowed, Stechschulte said. As hot as Grothaus was the first half, even though we were running stuff for him, we had to run our counters off them because they were paying so much attention to him. And we had success with them. While Grothaus was the only Grove player in double digits, the Wildcats managed two in Garber, with 15 points, and Hagerty with 13. Although Garber was a physical presence inside for Vanlue, he had to work for everything he got as the Bulldogs double-teamed him quite frequently when Rieman or Vorhees wasnt playing him straight up. And when Garber didnt have a shot, he often kicked the ball out to a teammate for a 3-point attempt. The Wildcats hit eight 3-pointers in the game. Garber did step out and make two 3-pointers. I truly believe you have to make the role players beat you, Stechschulte said. A bunch of kids shooting in the high 20s or low 30s from three? Or a kid thats going to play at the University of Toledo? I dont think thats a hard option to choose. We went right at Garber all night and I think we really did a good job of it. Hes tough to defend but I think we made him work and I attribute that to Will and Derek going after him all night long. Garber did pull down 11 rebounds in the setback as a handful of his shots were second or third attempts. The problem for the Wildcats was that they were just 1-of-5 at the free-throw line, while Grove was 9-of-14. We didnt make our free throws again and we got manhandled on the boards at times when Zach wasnt able to get the rebound, Vanlue coach Dean Birchmeier said. It was a pretty solid effort for us. I told the guys we played well enough to win; we just didnt.

No. 14 Buckeyes pull away from No. 2 Indiana 67-58

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind. No. 14 Ohio State crashed No. 2 Indianas big party plans Tuesday night. Instead, it wound up celebrating its own resurgence. The Buckeyes made things tough on Cody Zeller inside, took Indianas shooters out of their comfort zone and relied on Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft to deliver the late knockout punch in a 67-58 victory. It doesnt any get sweeter than that even if the Buckeyes dont want to make a big deal out of it. Whatever else goes on outside the floor, its a basketball game, Craft said. Where we were a couple weeks ago and where we are now, that just makes us appreciate this a little more. This wasnt just a victory for Ohio State (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten). It kept at least half of the leagues teams in a title chase that will now go down to the final day of the regular season. Sundays losses by Wisconsin and Michigan State gave Indiana (25-5, 13-4) a share of its first conference championship in 11 years. A win over the Buckeyes would have given the Hoosiers their first outright Big Ten crown since 1993. They will get another chance Sunday at No. 7 Michigan. But Thomas and Craft werent going to let the celebration take place at their expense. Thomas finished with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Craft added 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and four steals. And they combined for the first nine points in the decisive 11-2 run that forced Indiana to spend the rest of the game playing catch-up. The win puts Ohio State in the unenviable position of rooting for Michigan, that dreaded team from up north, to help create a logjam atop Americas toughest conference this season. We have to root for them (the Wolverines). They rooted for us last year and Im sure they rooted for us this year, Thomas said. Now were going to have to root for them, and hopefully they can knock them (Hoosiers) off at their place. Getting back to this position wasnt easy. Ohio State heads into Sundays regularseason finale against Illinois with four straight wins and needing a fifth consecutive victory and the Wolverines win just to get a share of the league title. The Buckeyes had to be every bit as physical as the Hoosiers inside and on defense. Craft exemplified their tough style when he crashed hard to the court after attempting a layup on a fast break. He still played well enough down the stretch to prevent the Hoosiers from coming back. We were just more active tonight. There was no secret what they wanted to do, Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. They wanted to go inside with Zeller and (Christian) Watford. But it was just more activity and we felt like we knew where they were going to be diving from. Kind of a do both type game. You had to do it and then take away the 3s. Zeller led the Hoosiers with 17 points and Watford finished with 12, but the Hoosiers didnt immediately take questions because of the Senior Night speeches. We earned that right, senior Jordan Hulls when asked about the net-cutting ceremony following a loss. Obviously, we didnt like to lose but we earned that right to cut down the nets. We would have liked to have won but we couldnt dwell on that. Clearly, this was not just another game for the Hoosiers. During pregame ceremonies, Zeller and Victor Oladipo were recognized for joining the schools 1,000point club and were joined at midcourt by coach Tom Crean and the Hoosiers other two 1,00-point scorers, Hulls and senior Watford. Familiar names such as Kent Benson, the star of the undefeated 1976 national championship team, and Isiah Thomas, star of the 1981 national championship team, showed up to watch. Students showed up with dozens of colorful signs that included phrases such as Windiana and waited outside for hours through the rain, sleet, snow and dropping temperatures to get as close as they could to the court all in anticipation of clinching that long awaited title. None of that mattered to the Buckeyes, who scored the final seven points of the first half to take a 28-25 lead. Indiana scored the first five points and made its first five shots of the second half to take a 39-34 lead. Ohio State answered with a 14-4 run, and when Indiana closed to 50-48 with 7:07 to go, Craft and Thomas scored nine of the next 11 Ohio State points to pull away.
57 No. 3 DUKE 85, VIRGINIA TECH DURHAM, N.C. Seth Curry scored 20 points in his final home game and Duke pulled away to beat Virginia Tech. Fellow senior Ryan Kelly added 18 points in his second straight strong performance since coming back from an injury for the Blue Devils (26-4, 13-4 Atlantic Coast Conference). They shot nearly 52 percent yet struggled for a while before outscoring the Hokies 32-10 during the final 12-plus minutes to finish unbeaten at home for the 17th time in school history. Erick Green scored 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting to lead Virginia Tech (13-17, 4-13), which hasnt beaten a team in the upper half of the league standings all season. No. 9 KANSAS STATE 79, TCU 68 MANHATTAN, Kan. Angel Rodriguez had 21 points and 10 assists and Shane Southwell and Martavious Irving both added 15 points as Kansas State beat TCU. With the Senior Night victory, the Wildcats (25-5, 14-3 Big East) stayed tied with No. 4 Kansas for first place in the Big 12 with one regular-season game to play.

Kansas State seniors Jordan Henriquez, Irving and Rodney McGruder extended their career win total to 99, more than any class in school history. Kyan Anderson had 29 points for the Horned Frogs (10-20, 1-16), while Devonta Abron added 10. The Wildcats kept their distance for most of the game but the Horned Frogs made it interesting early in the second half by slashing into a 42-27 halftime deficit with a 12-2 run. No. 15 MARQUETTE 60, RUTGERS 54 PISCATAWAY, N.J. Jamil Wilson scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including the late 3-pointer that put Marquette ahead for good, and the Golden Eagles rallied for a victory over Rutgers. Vander Blue had 22 points and made two game-sealing free throws with 13.9 seconds left for Marquette (22-7, 13-4 Big East), which kept pace with Georgetown and Louisville for the regular season title with one game remaining. Junior Cadougan added points 10 for Marquette. Myles Mack scored 11 points and Jerome Seagears added 10 for Rutgers (13-15, 4-13). The Scarlet Knights held their biggest lead at 35-23 early in the second half. Each time Marquette got close Rutgers answered but, with the Knights leading 50-43, the Golden Eagles went on a 12-2 run to take their first lead since 2-0. Wilson hit a 3-pointer with 3:05 remaining to make it 55-52. No. 24 NOTRE DAME 66, ST. JOHNS 40 SOUTH BEND, Ind. Jerian Grant had 21 points and eight assists, Eric Atkins added 15 points and Notre Dame held St. Johns to 18-percent shooting in the second half in a victory.

He had 13 rebounds in his final home game. JaKarr Sampson led St. Johns with 12 points and Phil Greene added 10. No. 25 MEMPHIS 56, UTEP 54 EL PASO, Texas Chris Crawford scored 15 points and Adonis Thomas added 11 and Memphis remained undefeated in Conference USA with a victory over UTEP. UTEPs C.J. Cooper had an opportunity to tie the game after being fouled from beyond the 3-point line but he missed the first free throw. He made the second and purposely missed the third in an attempt to rebound the ball and get the win. Tarik Black was fouled getting the rebound for the Tigers (26-4, 15-0 CUSA). Julian Washburn led UTEP (1613, 9-6) with 19 points and Cedrick Lang added 10. Memphis outrebounded UTEP 38-25, but the Tigers had 16 turnovers to UTEPs 12.

The Associated Press CHICAGO The Chicago Blackhawks set a franchise record with their 10th consecutive victory and extended their points streak to 29 games with a 5-3 win against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. Bryan Bickell scored twice in the first period and Patrick Kane added a big goal in the third as Chicago (20-0-3) remained the only team in the NHL without a regulation loss. It also snapped a tie with the 1977-78 Montreal Canadiens for the second-longest points streak in league history. Ryan Suter scored his first goal with Minnesota, sending a power-play slap shot past a screened Corey Crawford in the third period. Kyle Brodziak then poked his own rebound to get the Wild within one at 10:32. But Kane beat Darcy Kuemper just 61 seconds later. Brandon Saad had a goal and two assists for the Blackhawks.
CAPITALS 4, BRUINS 3, OT WASHINGTON Eric Fehr scored 37 seconds into overtime and the Washington Capitals rallied from a 3-goal, first-period deficit to beat the Boston Bruins. Pinched by two defenders, Fehr was falling forward as he got off the shot that hit the upper right post and went in, giving the Capitals their seventh win in 10 games as they attempt to climb out of the lower echelons of the NHL standings. Wojtek Wolski and Mike Ribeiro also scored; Tomas Kundratek got his

first NHL goal for the Bruins. A short-handed penalty shot by Brad Marchand, an even-strength goal by Zdeno Chara and a power-play tally from Dougie Hamilton gave Boston a 3-0 lead in the first period. RANGERS 4, FLYERS 2 NEW YORK Rick Nash snapped a third-period tie and then added an insurance goal as the New York Rangers held on to beat the Philadelphia Flyers for their third win in a row. Nash fired a shot that sneaked under the right arm of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov 2:50 into the third to give New York its second lead of the game. He doubled the advantage to 4-2 with 8:18 left. Ryan Callahan scored two first-period goals and assisted on Nashs second. Henrik Lundqvist made 23 saves for the Rangers, who played without Brad Richards. New York lost key defenseman Marc Staal 5:45 into the third when a shot by Kimmo Timonen from the blue line clipped the stick of forward Jake Voracek and caromed up into Staals right eye, causing a cut. Staal, who wasnt wearing a visor, squirmed on the ice and held his face before skating off. Wayne Simmonds and Voracek both scored power-play goals in the first period for Philadelphia. Bryzgalov stopped 16 shots. LIGHTNING 5, DEVILS 2 NEWARK, N.J. Nate Thompson scored twice and Martin St. Louis and rookie Alexander Killorn each had a goal and an assist as the Tampa Bay Lightning snapped a 5-game losing streak. Cory Conacher and Vincent Lecavalier each had two assists as the Lightning won for only the second time in eight games and extended the Devils winless streak to six games (0-5-1). Anders Lindback had 25 saves for the Lightning, surrendering late goals to Adam Henrique and Patrik Elias. Steven Stamkos 10-game point streak ended for Tampa Bay. ISLANDERS 6, CANADIENS 3 UNIONDALE, N.Y. Radek Martinek scored the tie-breaking goal eight minutes into the third period and the New York Islanders handed Montreal its first regulation loss in nearly a month.

The Associated Press NEW YORK For anyone who thinks TV is already saturated with sports of every stripe, stay tuned. Here comes Fox with an in-yourface challenge to ESPN a 24-hour sports cable network called Fox Sports 1, set to launch Aug. 17. ESPN, quite frankly, is a machine, Fox Sports executive vice president Bill Wanger said Tuesday in announcing the venture. They have very consistent ratings, obviously huge revenue. Were coming in trying to take on the establishment. Its no different than Fox News or Fox Broadcasting back in the 80s. Were going to have to scratch and claw our way all the way to the top. To do that, Fox executives are confident they have enough live events, with rights to college basketball and football, NASCAR, soccer and UFC fights. In its first year, the new network will broadcast nearly 5,000 hours of live competition and news. Fox owns rights to many Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA basketball and football games. Its soccer deals include UEFA Champions League and the mens and womens

World Cups from 2015-22. Starting in 2014, FS1 will start broadcasting Major League Baseball games, including part of the postseason. It will show some NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races as early as 2015, with other NASCAR events on the air from the startup. PRO FOOTBALL DENVER Von Miller is pulling a Joe Namath and its only March. Denvers star pass-rusher is already guaranteeing a Super Bowl title for the Broncos next season. Miller said hes dedicating the season to his 6-year-old cousin who recently emerged from a coma after a car accident in West Texas that also injured his mother and 8-yearold brother. On Monday, Miller tweeted: You can post this where ever.. Denver broncos will win the Super Bowl in the 2013 season. He added hash tags 4UJEREMIAH and IGUARANTEEIT58. BUFFALO, N.Y.

was the first goal of the season for Martinek, who hadnt scored since Oct. 12, 2011. John Tavares scored his team-leading 14th goal with 1:07 left before Colin McDonald closed the scoring with an empty-netter. Brian Giontas power-play goal at 6:07 of the third the 20,000th goal for the Canadiens since the NHL was formed in 1917 tied the game at 3. HURRICANES 4, SABRES 3 RALEIGH, N.C. Alexander Semin had a goal and two assists, linemate Eric Staal added three assists and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Buffalo Sabres. Jiri Tlusty, Joe Corvo and Jussi Jokinen also scored for Carolina, which was playing for the first time since goalie Cam Ward went on injured reserve following a torn MCL that will require a recovery of 6-8 weeks. The Hurricanes won their fourth straight and completed a 3-game season sweep of the Sabres. Staal picked up his 600th NHL point with the first of his two assists on the night on Tlustys goal in the first period. Justin Peters, recalled from Charlotte of the AHL, had 37 saves in his first start of the season for the Hurricanes. Ryan Miller had 24 saves for Buffalo, which got two goals from Cody Hodgson and one from T.J. Brennan. BLUE JACKETS 4, OILERS 3, SO COLUMBUS Sergei Bobrovsky, replacing an ineffective Steve Mason, made two spectacular short-handed saves in overtime and stopped both shots he faced in the shootout to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Edmonton Oilers. Vinny Prospal had a goal and an assist; Derek MacKenzie and Jack Johnson also scored in regulation. Artem Anisimov and Mark Letestu scored in the shootout for Columbus, which is the last team to win back-togames in the NHL this season. Jeff Petry, Ryan Whitney and Magnus Paajarvi tallied for Edmonton, who couldnt hold a 3-2 lead and fell to 1-3-1 on season-high 9-game, 17-day road trip in which theyve been outshot 111-67. PANTHERS 4, JETS 1 SUNRISE, Fla. Tomas Kopecky, Shawn Matthias and Mike Santorelli scored for Florida and Jonathan Huberdeau converted a penalty shot in the Panthers victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Jacob Markstrom stopped 30 shots for his first win of the season for

Florida, which won at home for just the fourth time this season. The Panthers have been plagued by injuries this season including Stephen Weiss season-ending wrist injury. Kyle Wellwood scored for Winnipeg and Ondrej Pavelec finished with 22 saves while falling to 8-11-1 this season. RED WINGS 2, AVALANCHE 1 DETROIT Niklas Kronwall scored in the second period thanks to a fluky bounce and the Detroit Red Wings held on to beat the Colorado Avalanche. Detroit opened the scoring with 13:00 to go in the second on a breakaway goal by Johan Franzen and Kronwall added to the lead when his shot from the point went wide, bounced back off the boards and went in off the right skate of goalie JeanSebastien Giguere. The Red Wings needed that second goal because Colorados Paul Stastny spoiled Jimmy Howards bid for a shutout when he scored with 1:30 to play in the third. Detroit has gone four straight games without allowing a goal in the first or second period. SHARKS 3, CANUCKS 2, SO VANCOUVER, British Columbia Scott Gomez and Adam Burish ended long goal droughts and Joe Pavelski scored the shootout winner as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Vancouver Canucks.

Mike Richards and Muzzin scored 59 seconds apart to tie it for the Kings, who trailed 4-1 midway through the second period. Alex Pietrangelo, David Perron and Chris Stewart each had a goal and an assist for the Blues.

BASEBALL GLENDALE, Ariz. Mark Teixeiras stay with the U.S. team at the World Baseball Classic didnt last long. The Yankees slugger strained his right wrist while taking some light swings off a tee in the batting cage, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament even before the Americans could play the Chicago White Sox in the first of their two scheduled exhibition games. Yankees GM Brian Cashman, in Tampa, Fla., said that Teixeira would

Thunder hold off Lakers charge

By JEFF LATZKE The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY There are times when coach Scott Brooks figures the best way to get his Oklahoma City Thunder to stop turning the ball over is to simply stop talking about the problem in the hope it goes away. For at least one night, the Thunders turnover trouble almost vanished and in record-setting fashion. Russell Westbrook had 37 points and 10 rebounds, Kevin Durant scored 26 and Oklahoma City tied the NBA record with only two turnovers in a 122-105 victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday night in which Kobe Bryant hurt his elbow and the Lakers fell back below .500. It was just one of those games. We didnt turn the ball over, Brooks said, struggling to explain how the team that committed the most turnovers in the NBA last season and the second-most so far this season pulled off the feat. Westbrook had one of the miscues, getting called for traveling in the fourth quarter to keep Oklahoma City from holding the record outright. Ronnie Brewer had the other on a pass to Nick Collison that went out of bounds. Otherwise, it was a clean game right down to a 12-0 run to finish it as the Lakers cut an 18-point deficit down to five before going scoreless over the final 6 minutes. Milwaukee set the turnovers record in a game against Indiana on April 1, 2006, and Cleveland tied it in an overtime game against Portland on March 19, 2009. I think weve done a great job of just learning and trying to get better at it each and every game. Not really focusing on it but just making the right decisions, said Westbrook, who had the most turnovers in the league his first two seasons in the NBA. Bryant scored 30 points after leaving the game briefly in the first quarter with a right elbow injury and Steve Nash matched his seasons best with 20 points as the Lakers went below .500 again after reaching the mark for the first time since December. Nashs 3-pointer got Los Angeles within 110-105 with 6:14 remaining but his team didnt score again. The Lakers missed their first 10 shots of the game and their last 10, outscoring the Thunder by 21 points in between the two droughts. Los Angeles fell to 1-11 in road games against the teams that currently occupy the eight Western Conference playoff spots and is now 2 1/2 games behind eighth-place Utah. Bryant explained he took a shot to the button on the end of his elbow and had to figure out a way to adjust his shooting mechanics to deal with what the team called an ulnar nerve contusion. For a team that has already spent parts of this season without Nash, Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol all of them All-Stars the news wasnt all that bad for the Lakers. Im going to keep playing, Bryant added. This is the critical part of the season. After Nashs 3-pointer got the Lakers within five, Nash and Metta World Peace each missed 3s during a string of four straight fruitless possessions with the Lakers down by six. Serge Ibaka, who dodged a suspension after delivering a low blow against Blake Griffin in Oklahoma Citys previous game, hit a 3-pointer and Westbrook had a steal and a two-handed slam in the Thunders closing run. World Peace finished with 16 points and Howard had six points and 16 rebounds before fouling out with 2:24 remaining. By the time Bryant went out less than 4 minutes into the game, the Thunder had already delivered an opening 7-0 burst and would never relinquish the lead. Bryant air-balled his first shot from 3-point range and was grabbing at the elbow, even crossing up arms with Durant after he had stolen the ball. Bryant was able to return about 4 1/2 minutes later, making his first shot a left-handed hook. He dribbled predominantly with his left hand and even snagged one rebound by cradling it in his left arm. But he wouldnt join an

Junior Shelby Erford (Paulding) picked her up with a single to left, helping Bluffton pull within a run of Alvernia. The Crusaders used a walk and a pair of base hits to push the lead to 3-1 in the top of the sixth. Sophomore standout Katie Clark (New Palestine, Ind.) singled and came around to score on Mackenzie Bedlions (Marshallville/ Smithville) base hit to right center but Alvernia shut the door in the seventh to hand the Beavers their first setback of the season.

Roundup

NOTES: Durant got his 13th technical foul of the season, three shy of an automatic 1-game suspension. Durant, who was on the bench at the time, drew the technical after saying something to referee Joe Crawford as Derek Fisher returned to the sideline for a timeout after getting his own technical from referee Kevin Fehr. Fisher was arguing a personal foul called against Kendrick Perkins. Oklahoma City has not played a home game decided by less than 10 points since Dec. 28. The Thunders last 12 wins at Chesapeake Energy Arena were by at least 16 points and an average of 24.6 points. The NBA announced Tuesday that both teams will play preseason games overseas in the fall. Oklahoma City will face Fenerbahce in Istanbul and Philadelphia in Manchester, England. The Lakers will play Golden State twice, in Beijing and Shanghai. The Thunder led 71-55 after their highestscoring first half of the season. CELTICS 109, 76ERS 101 Paul Pierce had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Avery Bradley scored 22 points to lead the Boston Celtics to a 109-101 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. Kevin Garnett scored 18 points to help the Celtics continued their push up the Eastern Conference standings. The Celtics entered in seventh but were no more than two games behind the next three teams ahead in the standings. Led by Pierce, the Celtics controlled the game and used a 9-0 run midway through the fourth to seal the win. Last May, these two teams went to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. On Tuesday, the Sixers lost for the ninth time in 10 games and are well out of the playoff race. Jrue Holiday had 18 points and 10 assists for the Sixers. NUGGETS 120, KINGS 113 SACRAMENTO, Calif. Ty Lawson had 24 points and Danilo Gallinari added 23 for the Nuggets as they won their sixth straight game. The deep and talented Nuggets used a 36-point third quarter to build a lead against the Kings that they never relinquished in winning their seasonbest third straight road game. They scored 70 second-half points when they shot nearly 64 percent.

Junior Kayla Owens (Cincinnati/McAuley) had her best outing of the young season, going all seven innings and allowing three runs, just one earned, on eight hits. She struck out three and walked two. Clark was the only Beaver to finish with multiple hits in game one. Bluffton bounced back against Simpson early in the second game of the day. Three errors by the Storm in inning one allowed the Beavers to take a 1-0 lead. With the score knotted 2-2 in the top of the fourth, Bluffton loaded the bases as Clark strolled to the dish. Facing Simpson ace Kacee Arey, who entered the contest three batters prior,

Clark watched the first pitch cross the plate for a strike. Areys second offering was not as lucky as it found the sweet spot on Clarks bat shortly before it landed outside the centerfield fence for her second homer of the season and a 6-2 lead over Simpson. It was Blufftons second grand slam in six games. Simpson chipped away at the lead with two runs in the bottom of the fourth before the wheels came off for Bluffton two innings later. The Storm used two Beaver errors and three walks to parlay three hits into five runs as Simpson went up 9-6 on the strength of three unearned tallies. The home team on the scoreboard

gave Bluffton hope with two miscues in the seventh but Simpson held on to keep its record spotless at 13-0. Clark scored twice and drove in four with her grand slam. Erford scored two times and Natalie Nikitas (Jeffersonville, Ind.) went 2-of-3 at the plate. Ariana Muffo (New Athens, Ill.) went 2-of-4 with an RBI. Sophomore Chloe Shell (Covington) took the loss, falling to 2-1 after allowing nine runs, five earned, on nine hits in five innings of work. She walked two and struck out one. Beavers will regroup before taking the diamond at 3 p.m. this afternoon. Bluffton takes on #4 Roanoke at the Osceola Walter Hagen won a fourth PGA championship in Complex before facing off 1927, a record that stood until Jack Nicklaus tied it 53 years with Thomas More at 5 p.m. later.

Planning ahead can help St. Ritas Family Medicine minimize capital-gain pain Practices receive national recognition BRUCE WILLIAMS
Information submitted St. Ritas Professional Services announced that its six family medicine practices are the first in the West Central Ohio Region to be awarded recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)- PatientCentered Medical Home (PCMH) Program. The recognized practices include: Martz and Martin Family PracticeLima, Family Medicine Associates- Lima, Primary Care Associates- Lima, Spencerville Physicians, Klass Family MedicineGlandorf, and Family and Sports Medicine-Ottawa. St. Ritas Professional Services President Herbert A. Schumm, MD, said achieving the recognition demonstrates excellence in a variety of the many components required to practice evidence based medicine. As the regions leader, St. Ritas is leading new and transformational methods to help patients access their doctor and for doctors to manage their patients care. Were very proud of our practices and staff for being the first in West Central Ohio to be awarded PCMH Recognition, Dr. Schumm said. The Patient-Centered Medical Home program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and others to identify and recognize practices that function as a patient-centered medical home. PCMH measures certain aspects of care including: access and communication; patient tracking and registry functions; care management; patient self-management support; electronic prescribing; test tracking; referral tracking; performance reporting and improvement; and advanced electronic communications. The NCQA PatientCentered Medical Home is a model of 21st century primary care that combines access, teamwork and technology to deliver quality care and improve health., said NCQA President Margaret E. OKane. NCQAs PCMH Recognition shows that the St. Ritas Professional Services family practices have tools, systems and resources to provide their patients with the right care at the right time. PCMH focuses on strengthening the relationship between the patient and the physician by complimenting short-term episodic care with long-term relationships, while still providing typical family medicine services. With the medical home model, patients are active participants in their care and the primary care physician serves as the home, or the office where patients go for the majority of their medical needs. The medical home model focuses on a team approach. Primary care physicians, specialists and the patient all communicate and work towards the same health care goal, through patient counseling, discussion of lifestyle changes, and the management of chronic conditions. This model is cost-effective and results in less expensive healthcare for patients.

Economical and easy to prepare in many ways, eggs appear to be perfect little protein packages. But Consumer Reports notes that the advice on eating them seems to change frequently, especially concerning whether their cholesterol content is safe for people with cardiovascular disease. So whats a health-conscious consumer supposed to do? One large egg has 186 milligrams of cholesterol in the yolk, while the egg white is cholesterol-free. An August 2012 study suggested a link between egg yolk consumption and plaque buildup in the carotid artery, a significant predictor of heart disease. That study contrasts with earlier research that found no evidence linking egg consumption with coronary disease. What appears to be more important than an individual food is total cholesterol intake, regardless of whether it comes from eggs or other food sources such as full-fat dairy products or meat, says Dr. Alice H. Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at Tufts University in Boston. But be careful about confusing dietary cholesterol with blood cholesterol (LDL, HDL and triglycerides). The major determinant of blood LDL cholesterol is saturated fat, Lichtenstein says. There is a recommendation to limit dietary sources of sat-

have many nutritional benefits. Theyre a good source of high-quality protein, with relatively few calories (6.3 grams of protein for only 72 calories in a large egg). Eggs also contain vitamins B12 and D, and several essential micronutrients, including choline (important for brain health) and lutein (for eye health). Bottom line: Its not necessary to avoid eggs completely, especially if youre healthy. But eat them in moderation, and try to keep your bigger dietary picture in mind. For instance, swap the sausage, bacon or ham in your quiche for mushrooms, spinach and green or red peppers. CRACKING THE EGG CODE Ever wonder what those terms on egg carton labels mean? Consumer Reports provides a quick glossary: -- Free-range or cage-free: Free-range hens have daily access to the outdoors or are raised outdoors. Cage-free hens arent kept in cages, but

urated fat, primarily found in dairy and meat fat. Although the saturated fat in eggs is relatively low compared with many other animal-based protein sources (one large egg has just under 2 grams of saturated fat), many of the foods that often accompany eggs (such as bacon, butter, cheese and sausage) are high in saturated fat. The governments 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol a day (less than 200 milligrams a day if youre at high risk of cardiovascular disease). The guidelines also state that one egg a day should be fine for healthy people. Remember that eggs can be in many foods, including bread, cakes, ice cream, muffins and even entrees like breaded fish, meat dishes or meatloaf. Each of those might add just a fraction of an egg per serving, but together they can increase your cholesterol intake, especially since many of those items contain other ingredients that can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat, such as butter or cream.

Eggs with the USDA organic seal follow production guidelines set by the Department of Agriculture National Organic Program. Because it costs more to produce eggs that way, they are usually more expensive than conventional eggs. -- Pasteurized: Eggs were heated to destroy bacteria. After pasteurization, the eggs were covered in a food-grade wax to prevent absorption of cross-contaminants.

DEAR BRUCE: I have been a small owner in a company for many years. I have thought about selling my shares in this company, but Im not sure how this would affect my taxes or what my responsibility regarding taxes would be. I would like to try and do something ahead of time to minimize any taxes, but I am not sure what to do, if anything. I will probably realize a profit of about $500,000 from my original investment. -- Reader, via email DEAR READER: With this type of possible return, I wouldnt do a thing unless I discussed it with a tax accountant working only for me. When you find an accountant (if you dont already have one), you will need to provide him or her with all your personal financial information. You probably should have consulted an accountant before now, because the 15 percent capital gains reverted to 20 percent at the end of 2012. An accountant can tell you whether any taxes can be deferred and, if so, how to do it, as well as how to handle the rest of your finances to prepare for the possible sale of your stocks. DEAR BRUCE: I have been trying to sell my time share for three years. We pay $775 a year for maintenance and taxes. I have had no takers and want to get rid of it. I have thought about just not paying the taxes and fees, but Im not sure how that would affect me. Would I be sued if I stopped paying? What do others do in such a case? -- The Thompsons, via email DEAR THOMPSONS: I get letters of this type all the time, and it looks like its time to address the time-share topic again. You are learning the hard way what I have been discussing for at least 25 years on the radio: Time shares have almost no secondary value. Several vendors advertise that they can sell time shares, but they want a substantial amount of money upfront and they often do not deliver a sale. Who pays a commission fee upfront before the job has been satisfactorily done? If you stop paying, some time-share operators will sue you because there is no market for their product. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may be stuck unless you can get it sold. Unfortunately, this subject has been hashed over for decades and will continue to be. DEAR BRUCE: I have a friend who is considering getting into multilevel marketing. I keep telling him that its a scam, but he wont listen. Can you shed some light that I can pass on to him? -- Tim in Pennsylvania DEAR TIM: The failure rate in multilevel marketing is enormous. There is money to be made if you can stick it out and work your way from the bottom to the top, but a very high percentage of those who try, dont. The overwhelming majority fall away after they have purchased either a small or large supply of the product. Before venturing into a multilevel marketing plan, your friend should find out whether the emphasis is on recruitment or sales and whether a substantial amount of money is required upfront. If only a couple hundred dollars is required upfront, is that money that he is willing to lose? If so, and after he has done his homework, he can give it a try and hopefully stick it out. If the company wants more than a couple hundred dollars upfront, I wouldnt bother. And if the promoters give a moneyback guarantee, remind him that money-back guarantees are only good if the company is still in business.

Too much money spent in Iraq for too few results

By LARA JAKES The Associated Press WASHINGTON Ten years and $60 billion in American taxpayer funds later, Iraq is still so unstable and broken that even its leaders question whether U.S. efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation were worth the cost. In his final report to Congress, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowens conclusion was all too clear: Since the invasion a decade ago this month, the U.S. has spent too much money in Iraq for too few results. The reconstruction effort grew to a size much larger than was ever anticipated, Bowen told The Associated Press in a preview of his last audit of U.S. funds spent in Iraq, to be released Wednesday. Not enough was accomplished for the size of the funds expended. In interviews with Bowen, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the U.S. funding could have brought great change in Iraq but fell short too often. There was misspending of money, said al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim whose sect makes up about 60 percent of Iraqs population. Iraqi Parliament Speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, the countrys top Sunni Muslim official, told auditors that the rebuilding efforts had unfavorable outcomes in general. You think if you throw money at a problem, you can fix it, Kurdish government official Qubad Talabani, son of Iraqi president Jalal Talabani, told auditors. It was just not strategic thinking. The abysmal Iraq results forecast what could happen in Afghanistan, where U.S. taxpayers have so far spent $90 billion in reconstruction projects during a 12-year military campaign that, for the most part, ends in 2014. Shortly after the March 2003 invasion, Congress set up a $2.4 billion fund to help ease the sting of war for Iraqis. It aimed to rebuild Iraqs water and electricity systems; provide food, health care and governance for its people; and take care of those who were forced from their homes in the fighting. Fewer than six months later, President George W. Bush asked for $20 billion more to further stabilize Iraq and help turn it into an ally that could gain economic independence and reap global investments. To date, the U.S. has spent more than $60 billion in reconstruction grants to help Iraq get back on its feet after the country that has been broken by more than two decades of war, sanctions and dictatorship. That works out to about $15 million a day. And yet Iraqs government is rife with corruption and infighting. Baghdads streets are still cowed by near-daily deadly bombings. A quarter of the countrys 31 million population lives in poverty, and few have reliable electricity and clean water.

HIV/AIDS

Council

(Continued from page 1) males, 17 white females, 29 black males, 20 black females, 4 Hispanic males, 2 Hispanic females, 1 Asian and 2 unknown. Of those patients, 18 percent were 45-49 years old, 14 percent were aged 40-44, 14 percent were 50-54 and 13 percent fell into the 55-64 year old range. In January 2012, the number of diagnosed HIV infection cases in Putnam County stood at 13; 7 white males; 3 white females; 2 Hispanic males; and 1 Hispanic female. Age groups 25-29 and 35-39 each had 3 cases, the 45-49 and 65+ each had 2 and the remaining 3 fell into varying age groups. Of the total cases involving males, 4 were contracted through male-to-male contact, 1 through male-to male contact and IDU and 4 were unknown. In cases including females, 1 contracted HIV through drug use, 3 via heterosexual contact and 4 were unknown causes. As of Jan. 31, 2012, Van Wert County had 11 HIV cases. Of those cases, six fell into the 35-44 year old range, the 30-34 and 45-49 age groups each had two and the 50-54 year old group had one. All 11 cases involved white males; 6 contracted the infections through male-to-male sexual contact, 1 through male-to-male sexual contact with IDU, 2 through heterosexual contact and 2 with unknown causes. On Sept. 30, 2012, the number of new AIDS cases in the tri-county area have remained either subdued or consistent, no matter how active, the number is still increasing. In Allen County, there were 52 cases in AIDS status. In Putnam County, 4 of the 8 reported HIV cases were in AIDS status. Additionally, Van Wert County had 7 diagnosed HIV cases with 4 cases in AIDS status. In 2007, Ohio had a total of 534 new AIDS cases; 214 white males, 35 white females,

174 black males, 71 black females, 22 Latino males, 7 Latino females, 2 Asian males, and 9 unknown. From 2007 to 2011, there has been a relatively consistent number of new AIDS cases in both gendersaveraging approximately 565with a spike in 2009 of 621 cases. The elevated number can be attributed to a higher number of females (26 percent), up by 30 cases from 2008. In 2012, there were a total of 17,975 reported cases which was comprised of 9,061 white males, 904 white females, 5,466 black males, 1,628 black females, 535 Latino males, 176 Latino females, 37 Asian males, 8 Asian females, 9 American Indian males, 6 American Indian females, and 145 unknown. The three counties in Ohio with the largest population of AIDS cases are Cuyahoga with 4,081; Franklin with 3,409; and Hamilton with 2,301. While infection rates have fallen sharply from their peak in the late 1990s, about 50,000 Americans are newly infected each year and nearly 1.2 million live with the disease. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), nearly half of all new HIV infections are in blacks and among heterosexuals. Those living in poverty are twice as likely to have HIV compared to those with higher incomes. In addition, people living in poverty have a number of barriers to getting tested which include: homelessness; unemployment; lack of insurance; lack of transportation; drug addiction; mental illness; incarceration; domestic violence; other chronic diseases, such as diabetes; lack of paid time off or child care to allow clinic visits; and the continuing social stigma of AIDS, which makes patients fear alerting others to their sexual orientation or disease status.

Schools shift from textbooks to tablets

WASHINGTON (AP) Well before the cleanup from Superstorm Sandy was in full swing, students could read about the weather system that slammed the East Coast in their textbooks. Welcome to the new digital bookcase, where traditional ink-and-paper textbooks have given way to iPads and book bags are getting lighter. Publishers update students books almost instantly with the latest events or research. Schools are increasingly looking to the hand-held tablets as a way to sustain students interest, reward their achievements and, in some cases, actually keep per-student costs down. We must use technology to empower teachers and improve the way students learn, said Joel Klein, a former New York City schools chief who now leads News Corp.s education tablet program. At its best, education technology will change the face of education by helping teachers manage the classroom and personalize instruction. Putting a device in every students hand is not a piein-the-sky dream. Some 2,000 schools already have partnered with Google to use its lightweight Chromebooks, which start at $199. Some 20 million

Overall, including all military and diplomatic costs and other aid, the U.S. has spent at least $767 billion since the Americanled invasion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. National Priorities Project, a U.S. research group that analyzes federal data, estimated the cost at $811 billion, noting that some funds are still being spent on ongoing projects. Sen. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate committee that oversees U.S. funding, said the Bush administration should have agreed to give the reconstruction money to Iraq as a loan in 2003 instead as an outright gift. Its been an extraordinarily disappointing effort and, largely, a failed program, Collins, R-Maine, said in an interview Tuesday. I believe, had the money been structured as a loan in the first place, that we would have seen a far more responsible approach to how the money was used, and lower levels of corruption in far fewer ways.

We must use technology to empower teachers and improve the way students learn.
Joel Klein, a former New York City schools chief students and teachers are already using them, company officials said. And a study from the Pew Research Centers Internet and American Life Project found that more than 40 percent of students or teachers use some sort of tablet in their Advanced Placement and National Writing Project classrooms. When you think about it, these are A.P. classes and National Writing Project classes, and 4 in 10 say they are using these devices, said Kristen Purcell, associate director for research at Pew Research Centers Internet and American Life Project. Thats 6 in 10 who arent using them. We still have a lot of room for growth. In coming years, growth seems to be the norm.

(Continued from page 1) Council heard and passed on third reading legislation providing for a fund transfer from the General Fund to the Police & Firemans Pension funds to bring the specified funds from a deficient position in accordance with recommendation from the State of Ohio Auditors Office; and to amend the Police and Fire Pensions Funds in accordance with IRS regulations. The new requirements directs a tax-deferred amount of 10.75 percent on employee contributions to the fund to be channeled through a payroll deduction by the City to the Ohio Pension fund for the affected employees. The city is revising its Flood Damage Reduction and Flood Plain Management regulations. Council heard on second reading an ordinance repealing certain sections of the former legislation adopted in 1995 and reinforcing other sections. New Flood Insurance Rate Maps will go into effect on May 2. Some parcels now included in a the citys flood plain may no longer be in the new flood plain and some who are not currently in a flood plain may be on the new map. Berquist also told council the city is required to pass the legislation to become eligible for certain government funds, including reimbursement for storm cleanup, etc. A public hearing for those who have questions regarding the new Flood Insurance Rate Map or the Flood Damage Reduction and Flood Plain Management regulations was held prior to Mondays council meeting. In old business, Berquist reported he researched the citys repair history on water lines and found no indication the city has never fixed a lateral, which is on the residents property, and they dont plan on doing it. The statement was in reference to a request by Menke Addition resident Mike Edlebrock that the city fix a water line problem on his property. Edelbrocks sanitary sewer backed up into his home and when a plumber he hired to assess the situation put a camera through the line, it was found the wrong pipe with the wrong gauge was used and the sanitary sewer line was run through the storm sewer line and then repaired. Edelebrock has spoke to council several times about the issue, stating he feels the city is responsible for fixing the problem with his sanitary sewer because the city signed off the on the property when it was annexed into the city.

PRAGUE (AP) A court acquitted on Tuesday the frontman of a U.S. heavy metal band of causing a teenage fans death at a concert in the Czech Republic. Lamb of Gods Randy Blythe was charged in December in Prague with causing bodily harm to another person with lethal consequences. Blythe was accused of pushing a 19-year-old who had climbed onto the stage during a 2010 concert at Pragues Abaton club. The man hit the floor with his head and later died of a head injury. Pragues Municipal court ruled Tuesday that Blythe was not guilty because what he did was not a crime, court spokeswoman Marketa Puci said. Blythe, who had pleaded not guilty, acknowledged he pushed the teenager because the band doesnt tolerate any fans on the stage but said he was not aware of any injuries. In its ruling, the court said it was the concerts organizers who are to blame for the accident, Puci said. The state prosecutors, who had demanded a five-year prison term for Blythe, said they will appeal the verdict. Blythe said Tuesday that the victim who cannot be named in line with Czech privacy laws while the case still is handled by courts was a fan of his band and he felt sorry for the loss of life. I had no wish to harm him. He was just a boy. I wish he was still here. The 42-year-old musician was arrested in June when he returned to the Czech Republic for another gig, not realizing that he was being investigated in the Czech Republic. He was released five weeks later on $400,000 bail after a Prague court dismissed a prosecution request that Blythe be banned from leaving the country, fearing he wouldnt return for the trial. The relatives of the fan, who are seeking compensation, were told by the court to file a separate case, Puci said.

Court clears musician in fans death

WASHINGTON (AP) Airline passengers will be able to carry small knives, souvenir baseball bats, golf clubs and other sports equipment onto planes beginning next month under a policy change announced Tuesday by the head of the Transportation Security Administration. The new policy conforms U.S. security standards to international standards, and allows TSA to concentrate its energies on more serious safety threats, the agency said in a statement. The announcement, made by TSA Administrator John Pistole at an airline industry gathering in New York, drew an immediate outcry from unions representing flight attendants and other airline workers, who said the items are still dangerous in the hands of the wrong passengers. Transport Workers Union Local 556, which represents over 10,000 flight attendants at Southwest Airlines, called the new policy dangerous and shortsighted, saying it was designed to make the lives of TSA staff easier, but not make flights safer. While we agree that a passenger wielding a small knife or swinging a golf club or hockey stick poses less of a threat to the pilot locked in the cockpit, these are real threats to passengers and flight attendants in the passenger cabin, the union said in a statement. The policy change was based on a recommendation from an internal TSA working group, which decided the items represented no real danger, said David Castelveter, a spokesman for the agency. The presence on flights of gun-carrying pilots traveling as passengers, federal air marshals and airline crew members trained in self-defense provide additional layers of security to protect against misuse of the items, he said. However, not all flights have federal air marshals or armed pilots onboard. The new policy permits folding knives with blades that are 2.36 inches or less

TSA to allow small knives, bats, clubs on planes

in length and are less than 1/2-inch wide. The policy is aimed at allowing passengers to carry pen knives, corkscrews with small blades and other knives. Passengers also will be allowed to bring onboard as part of their carry-on luggage novelty-sized baseball bats less than 24 inches long, toy plastic bats, billiard cues, ski poles, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks and two golf clubs, the agency said. The policy goes into effect on April 25. Security standards adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency, already call for passengers to be able to carry those items. Those standards are non-binding, but many countries follow them. Box cutters, razor blades and knives that dont fold or that have molded grip handles will still be prohibited, the TSA said.

Christine Quinn, the speaker of the New York City Council, has suggested replacing textbooks they cost the city $100 million a year with tablets. Schools in Los Angeles last month allocated $50 million to start buying tablets for every student; the project is expected to cost $500 million by the time it is completed. Schools in McAllen, Texas, distributed 6,800 Apple tablets last year at a cost of $20.5 million. But its not just the biggest school districts making the shift. The Eanes Independent School District in Austin is distributing more than 2,000 iPads to every student, from kindergarteners to high school seniors. The cost: $1.2 million. Students, unlike some of their parents, arent blinking. The biggest challenge is that theyre growing up as digital natives, but when they get to the school door, they have to leave that at the door, said Scott Kinney, who trains teachers on how to use Discovery Educations products, which work on various platforms. Kids are very comfortable with these things, so why arent we reaching them in a way thats most beneficial to students?

The items that will be permitted under the new policy dont present any greater danger than other everyday items that passengers can turn into weapons, aviation security consultant John L. Sullivan said. A pen or a toothbrush can be sharpened into a knife like the shivs inmates sometimes make in prisons, he said. Some airlines have returned to using real glassware and silverware in first class, rather than plastic or paper, he noted. Glasses can be broken and used as weapons, he added. And in September 2011, the TSA no longer required children 12 years old and under to remove their shoes at airport checkpoints. The agency recently issued new guidelines for travelers 75 years old and older so they can avoid removing shoes and light jackets when they go through airport security checkpoints.
