LIMA — The 2014 United Way of Greater Lima Campaign raised a total of $1,848,276 so far.
Board members and volunteers learned the total Tuesday during an evening of live music and socializing at Old City Prime in Lima.
Board Chairman Angie Clark opened the agency’s annual meeting and business was conducted, including the treasurer’s report announcing the year’s campaign total.
Executive Director Phil Hayne will retire on July 31 after four with the local United Way agency. Clark remarked on Hayne’s service.
“Phil has spent over 40 years in service to others and we are extremely fortunate to have had an individual of his caliber at United Way of Greater Lima,” Clark said. “His leadership, passion and dedication to our organization is something we appreciate very much. He assured me he is staying in the Lima area so we haven’t seen the last of him, I’m sure.”

FORT JENNINGS – Mayor Jim Smith, council members and Maintenance Supervisor Ted Wrasman discussed the options needed if they were to opt purchasing a new plow truck for the village during Tuesday night’s Fort Jennings Village Council meeting.
“We have had issues with the truck and the wiring under the bed is in bad shape,” Wrasman said.
The village’s current truck, equipped with a plow and dump bed, was purchased in 1998 and has close to 71,000 miles on it. Wrasman reported it has also had problems starting, has shut off, the bed is rusting out and it has been stuck in snow a few times.
Councilman Walt Pitney said he has seen a medium duty GMC with low mileage for around $25,000.
“I’ve seen an older unit, a 1995 Ford 1-ton with a snow plow, wet line dump with 30,000 miles which hasn’t been driv-en out on the road on the Deals site,” Pitney detailed.
“We should probably consider purchasing a new truck,” Smith said. “A 2-wheel drive would be OK and we probably don’t want anything any larger than the 1-ton we have.”
“We need something small enough to get through tight alleys,” Wrasman added. “Four-wheel drive would been have been helpful the few times the vehicle was stuck in the snow.”
Council members approved last month’s meeting minutes and paying the village’s bills in the sum of $69,962.
Smith told council members all the paperwork is in the hands of Public Utilities Commission of Ohio for the electrici-ty aggregation. Council members have been working diligently to move the village into an electricity aggregation plan since discussions began this past summer.
“There’s a 30-day waiting period,” Smith said. “We should hear something next month.”
Smith also updated council members on the OWPC grant for the construction project on First Street slated for later this year.
“Poggemeyer’s initial cost for the engineering was $5,500,” Smith said. “I called and spoke with them asking them to lower the costs and they took off $1,000, bringing the cost down to $4,500.”
Smith said a new contract will be drawn up and he will sign it when it is in his hands.
Conversation turned to the property that may be annexed into the village that Smith reported on in November 2014. He said the plat of land is partially in the corporation limit and the property owner cannot begin construction until the land is annexed and utilities are planned and/or run to the property.

Hundreds killed, injured yearly despite ‘Move Over’ lawBY STEPHANIE GROVES
DHI Media Staff [email protected]
Since 2004, Ohioans have been required by law to move over when law enforcement, emergency vehicles and tow trucks are on the side of the road. In December 2013, the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 137, expanding the law to include approaching construction and maintenance vehicles to protect the safety of these work-ers operating on Ohio roadways.
MoveOver.Ohio.Gov reports that across the nation, hundreds of people are injured or killed every year when they are struck by a vehicle after pulling over to the side of the road or highway. These “struck by” crashes have claimed the lives of many first responders, roadside assistance and con-struction workers and includes: 23 highway workers each month; one law enforcement officer every month; one tow truck driver every six days; and six firefighters each year.
Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Deputy Director of
Communications Melissa Ayers said since 2008 there have been approximately 969 collisions with ODOT vehicles and the traveling public.
“We still believe it’s very important to ‘Slow Down and Move Over’ for all roadside workers,” she added. “These are hard-working men and women who at the end of the day want to make it home safely to their families and friends.”
ODOT Public Information Officer Paul Pegher said in 2013 alone, across the state there were 4,373 work zone crashes with
1,118 injuries and 19 fatalities including workers and travelers. He added that from 2008 to 2012, ODOT vehicles were struck 590 times and 359 of those occurrences were due to drivers failing to move over one lane.
“It amplifies the need for workers and travelers to be more cautious,” Pegher said. “It’s a matter of public safety.”
The new version of Ohio’s “Move Over Law” requires motorists slow down and, as conditions permit, shift to an adjacent lane when approaching construction, main-
tenance and public utilities commission vehicles that are parked on the roadside with flashing, oscillating or rotating lights.
Officials from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission partnered in the legislative effort to revise the “Move Over” law in 2013 and provide their respective agencies’ roadway workers appropriate protection while performing their duties.

Campaign exceeds $1.8 million
White House: Affordable Care sign-ups top 11 millionWASHINGTON (AP) — More
than 11 million people signed up for subsidized private health insurance under President Barack Obama’s law this year, the White House announced Tuesday eve-ning.
But that preliminary estimate — 11.4 million people — comes with a couple of asterisks:
—The final number could grow because the administration is offer-ing a grace period for people who started applications — but couldn’t finish them — before last Sunday’s official deadline. They have until February 22, this coming Sunday.
Also, Democratic lawmakers are pressing Obama to grant a second chance to sign up for uninsured people facing tax penalties.
—The final number could shrink if consumers who’ve enrolled for 2015 coverage don’t follow through by paying their share of premiums.
“The Affordable Care Act is
working,” Obama said in a White House video. “It’s working a lit-tle better than we anticipated. Certainly, I think, working a lot better than many of the critics talk-ed about early on.”
Last year, 8 million people had initially signed up. But by fall, just 6.7 million were still in the program. Some of those who left found other coverage, through a job for example.
According to independent stud-ies, at least 10 million uninsured people gained coverage last year as the health care law’s big insurance expansion got under way. One part of the law offers subsidized private health insurance tailored to work-ers and families who don’t have coverage on the job. Another part expands Medicaid to serve low-in-come adults in states that accept it.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that this year there will be 19 million fewer uninsured Americans than if the
law had never passed.Sign-up season for private plans
went relatively smoothly this year, a turnaround from the technolo-gy meltdown that embarrassed the White House last year. Coverage is offered through online health insur-ance markets, also called exchang-es. The federal HealthCare.gov website serves 37 states, while the rest run their own markets.
Although HealthCare.gov was slowed by a glitch on Saturday, an independent assessment for The Associated Press found that the website worked smoothly overall during its big weekend.
Catchpoint Systems, which monitors website performance, found that HealthCare.gov’s sign-up page was available more than 99 percent of the time from last Friday through Sunday, and typ-ically loaded in about 4 seconds.
Catchpoint CEO Mehdi Daoudi called that “very good.”
Separately, privacy concerns
have been raised about HealthCare.gov this year, after The Associated Press reported that the site was quietly sending some personal consumer information to compa-nies that specialize in analyzing Internet data for performance and marketing. The administration quickly scaled back the practice, but there’s an ongoing congressio-nal inquiry into the matter.
This biggest question hanging over HealthCare.gov this year has nothing to do with technology.
Early next month, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on another challenge to Obama’s law. The plaintiffs in the case say the literal text of the legislation only allows the federal government to offer subsidies in states that set up their own insurance markets. Most states have not done so.
If the court sides with the plain-tiffs, millions of people would lose financial assistance, and most of those would drop their coverage.

INFORMATION SUBMITTED
COLUMBUS – The National Weather Service reports that dangerously low temperatures and wind chills will continue to impact Ohio until Saturday. Temperatures are expected to rise to the 20s and 30s by the weekend.
“When temperatures and wind chills are this extreme, it is safest to limit your time and exposure to the outdoor ele-ments,” said Evan Schumann, executive director of the Ohio Emergency Management Agency. “If you must go outside or travel, it is important to check local news for weather and road conditions.”
FEMA and the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness (OCSWA) offer the following precautions during severe winter conditions and extreme cold:
· Stay indoors as much as possible; do not go out during a storm; and limit your exposure to the cold.
· Walk slowly and carefully on snowy, icy walkways. If possible, use rock salt or other ice-melting products on walk-ways.
· Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack, which is a major cause of death in the winter.
· Check on family, friends and neighbors who may be at risk or may need additional assistance. Click here to read the Ohio Department of Aging’s press release on winter safety.
· Dress in layers and keep dry. Change wet clothing fre-quently to prevent a loss of body heat.

State highway projects get boost from bonds, logo sales
COLUMBUS (AP) — Partnering with private businesses, offering sponsorships along highways and selling $1 billion in Ohio Turnpike bonds are among ways Gov. John Kasich’s administration has worked to boost transportation revenue amid lagging federal outlays.
Government data reviewed by The Associated Press show Ohio’s spending from the federal highway trust fund fell nearly 8 percent from 2008 to 2013. The downward trend is widespread among states.
Michael Leachman, director of state fiscal research at the nonpar-tisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said both federal and state gas taxes are producing less reve-nue due to a combination of factors, including Americans driving more fuel-efficient vehicles and the tax not being adjusted for inflation for decades.
“States are in a pickle,” Leachman said. “They’re not dealing with this in Congress, so states are having to figure out how they’re going to deal with it as best they can themselves.”
Last year, Ohio launched the largest single roadway construction project in its modern history — the $429 mil-
lion Portsmouth bypass — under the Ohio Department of Transportation’s first-ever public-private partnership. The department has said the unique business arrangement is allowing it to take advantage of cur-rent economic conditions and accelerate the project by decades. The private partners receive govern-ment payments to perform the work and to oversee all maintenance besides snow and ice removal on the bypass for the 35 years after it’s built.
In the same vein, the Republican governor’s administration sought and received authority to sell $1.5 billion in Ohio Turnpike bonds in 2013 to fund highway projects in northeast Ohio and on the 241-mile toll road itself. So far, $1 billion in bonds have been sold, with about $930 million going to regional road and highway projects and about $70 million going to the Turnpike.
The state opted against selling naming rights along the turnpike — say, to sports teams — after negative public feedback. But it has let com-panies promote themselves by putting
their names on road signs, trucker lounges, snow plows and pet-walking areas.
Leachman said such programs are inventive but the cash they gener-
ate isn’t significant. The $850,000 a year in logo fees “would pay for about three feet of roadway,” he said.
“The financing prob-lems are severe and so these kind of ticky-tacky things can help, but they’re not going to solve the problem,” he said.
Still, State Farm Insurance has purchased rights along Ohio’s major interstates to display its logo on a fleet of highway assistance vehicles in a program the state and the com-pany say is mutually beneficial. State Farm is paying Ohio $850,000 a year over the next four years, with an option to extend to 10 years.
The freeway service patrol pro-gram helps stranded motorists with flat tires, dead batteries or empty gas tanks and responds to accidents from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays on major interstates in Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Akron/Canton,
Dayton and northern Kentucky, said ODOT spokeswoman Melissa Ayers.
State Farm spokeswoman Angie Rinock said Ohio is the 12th state where the insurance company has participated in such a program.
It aligns perfectly with what we do,” Rinock aid. “It goes right back to our mission, which is to keep people safe.” She said there has been virtually no pushback about increased commercialization from the public, as has sometimes been the case with the branding of stadiums and concert venues.
A separate logo program that allows hotels, gas stations and restau-rants to advertise along state road-ways has brought in $2.8 million to $7.6 million a year since 2009, state figures show.
In another effort to stretch state dollars, Ohio signed an agree-ment in 2012 with the private firm, Management Consulting Inc., or ManCon, to manage its vehicle and equipment parts. The arrangement is projected to save the state about $5.6 million over the life of the three-year contract, Ayers said.

VAN WERT — On Feb. 6, Vantage hosted over 700 soph-omores for Sophomore Visitation Day. Each sophomore had the opportunity to investigate and explore two different career technical programs of interest to them. During each one-hour visit, there were hands-on activities, demonstrations and pre-sentations prepared especially for the sophomores.
Vantage Cosmetology students prepared a style show for the 10th-graders, while those visiting Welding and Auto Body got a chance to try out the new virtual welder and virtual painter. Students visiting Carpentry went out to the building site to inspect the progress being made on this year’s house project. In Auto Technology, students learned how to use the tire bal-ancer and the rim clamp. Sophomores in Network Systems got to use some of the latest technology – Oculus 3D Rift Virtual Reality, Motion Capture and Google Glass, while those visit-ing Interactive Media got to experience the new 3-D printer.
Community members and alumni also came out in force to celebrate Career Technical Education Month on Monday night at the annual Vantage Open House. Many sophomores who are considering attending Vantage for their junior and senior years brought their parents to the evening event.
Below are a few frequently asked questions – and answers - about coming to high school at Vantage.
Q: Can I go to college after Vantage? A: About 41 percent of Vantage graduates continue their
education immediately after high school graduation at a two- or four-year college. Students are urged to check with their guidance counselor to be sure that all requirements for college entrance are met.

The temperature has dropped down to the teens this morning. It sounds windy outside.
Today is Thursday so it’s laundry day again. We usually wash laundry on Mondays and Thursdays. Usually by the next morning the clothes are dry on the lines in the base-ment. Oh, how nice when spring weather comes and we can wash clothes, dry them outside, and have them folded in one day.
Daughter Loretta came home from school sick on Monday forenoon. She hasn’t been able to go back yet. I called the doctor and he thinks it is probably the flu.
Tomorrow and Monday there isn’t any school, as it’s midwinter break. My plans are to take Joseph to the dentist to get a small cavity filled and to get some groceries.
Sons Benjamin, 15, and Joseph, 12, went over to Timothy’s house two nights this week to help him with his work. They really enjoy spending time helping him.
Son Kevin, 9, usually takes care of our chickens. He has been bringing in around 40 eggs every day from the new chickens we raised this fall. Kevin still has his run-ins with the mean rooster.
Last Saturday my husband, Joe, and sons helped Jacob and Emma dress a beef. With Loretta being sick, I haven’t had time to ask if they need help this week in cutting it up.
Brother Amos is back to work but has still been having dizzy spells. He has seen several doctors, but so far they haven’t really been able to figure out what is causing them. He still works construction work—helping build Menards buildings. They have quite a few hours of traveling to do every day. I hope it’s nothing serious. Amos has always been a hard worker and it’s hard to get him to slow down. He’s ten years older than I am and will be 54 this year.
Daughters Verena, 17, and Loretta, 14, recently attended their friend Grace’s birthday party. They enjoyed the evening with friends and made some new ones.
Joe plans to smoke the summer sausage this coming Saturday. He is hoping it won’t be too cold outside.
We still have lots of snow piled outside. The driveway is cleared off and the roads are dry, which is nice to see.
This week I’ll share a recipe that I tried for ham and bean soup. Not too many in our fam-ily like ham and beans, but if you do, I would suggest you try this recipe. I sent some over to Jacob and Emma, and they really liked it.

large pot. Add salt and beans and remove from heat. Let beans soak in hot water for at least an hour. Then place ham hock, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, mustard, and bay leaves in the pot and return it to high heat. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 60 more minutes. Remove ham hock, cut off meat, and discard bone. Stir in chopped ham and simmer 30 more minutes. Season with black pepper.

Lady Green defense stymies JaysBy JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports [email protected]
DELPHOS — A night after Ottoville knocked down 14 3-pointers in a rout of McComb, the Lady Big Green returned to the court to take on non-league archrival St. John’s Tuesday afetrnoon at Robert A. Arnzen Gymnasium.
This night, the Green didn’t need to be so hot from beyond the arc; their defense did it for them in a 44-31 vic-tory.
The game was postponed due to Saturday’s weather.
The loss spoiled Senior Night activ-ities for five Lady Blue Jays (8-13): Emilee Grothouse (6 markers), Tara Vorst (4 steals, 2 assists), Rebekah Fischer (2 boards), Sam Kramer (2 boards) and Halie Benavidez.
The Ottoville (14-7) combination of defenses was helped majorly by a whop-ping 26-11 edge off the backboards (12-3 offensive), especially a 17-1 edge the first half.
After battling to a 12-all tie to end the first eight minutes of action, the Blue and Gold got a 3-ball from Lexie Hays (7 counters, 3 dimes) at six min-utes and a triple by Madilynn Schulte (team-high 9 markers) at 4:40 — sand-wiched around a basket by Ottoville senior Lexie Wannemacher (6 rebounds, 5 steals) — to take its biggest lead of 18-14. The hosts would not score again the first half, missing two more shots in a low-paced contest and turning it over three times (22 total). Meantime, Ottoville got started wth a hoop-and-harm by junior Nicole Kramer (game-high 14 counters) at 3:15 and took the lead for good on a triple by senior Annie Lindeman (10 markers) at 2:20. Senior Haley Landwehr dropped a triple at 1:40, Kramer a 10-footer at 1:00 and
Lindeman another bomb at 33 ticks for a 28-18 halftime edge.
“It was a familiar scenario for us tonight. We were executing some good things offensively the first 20 minutes or so and it made our defense much better as well,” Blue Jay mentor Dan J. Grothouse explained. “Then we hit the wall. Ottoville picked up its defense and we went into panic mode. Ottoville
is too good to not expect that to happen and we just stopped doing everything we had been doing well. We got into a hurry with shooting, passing, ballhan-dling; we didn’t want the ball. Then we stopped getting to their shooters. You do that against a good team and you see the result.”

Kalida spoils Lady Vikings’ Senior Night
BY CHARLIE WARNIMONTDHI Media [email protected]
LEIPSIC — Kalida girls basketball coach Adam Huber was concerned how his team might come out for their Putnam County League showdown with Leipsic Tuesday evening.
His Ladycats were amped up and ready to play Saturday when the game was cancelled because of the weather condi-tions. As his team prepared for the makeup game Tuesday eve-ning, he wasn’t quite sure if they could get that emotion back. His concerns were quickly answered in the opening minutes of the game.
Kalida scored the first seven points of the game and never trailed as they defeat-ed Leipsic 54-44 to ruin Senior Night for the Vikings.
With the win, the Ladycats claimed at least a share of the PCL title as they are 6-0 going into their league matchup with Continental Thursday night. Kalida is 16-5 overall, while the Vikings dropped to 6-1 in the league and 16-4 overall.
“I was a little bit concerned as we were ready to go Saturday and they were pretty disappointed when we had to turn around and go back to school. I didn’t know how that extra time would work against us or for us,” Huber said. “In practice yesterday (Monday), it wasn’t the greatest practice we have had. I knew we were ready game plan wise. They took it to heart, did exact-ly what we asked them to defensively. We clinched a share but we have a game left Thursday. We’ll enjoy this tonight and get back to work tomorrow.”
Kalida senior Jackie Gardner helped the Wildcats get off to a good start forcing a turnover on Leipsic’s initial posses-sion, then hitting a 2-pointer and 3-pointer to give Kalida a 5-0 lead. A Kylie Osterhage basket made it 7-0 before Brooke Gerdeman finally broke the ice for Leipsic with a short jumper. Kalida ended the opening quarter with a 15-12 lead as Brittany Kahle and Gardner both had a 3-pointer to help offset nine firstquarter points by the Vikings’ Gerdeman.
Leipsic senior sharpshooter Shalynn Morman pulled the Vikings within a point twice in the second quarter but her points were few and far between for the Vikings as she finished with 11 points (her final six in the fourth quarter), which is five points below her average. Besides helping Kalida get off to a good start offensively, Gardner along with teammates Nicole Recker, Joni Kaufman and the rest of the team helped keep Morman from getting into a rhythm offensively.

T-Birds pull away to win over SpencervilleBy JEREMY SCHNEIDERDHI Media [email protected]
LIMA — Momentum is a powerful force in athletics. A slight swing one way or the other often means the difference between victory and defeat.
Lima Central Catholic took momentum and a double-digit lead into halftime of its boys basketball matchup Tuesday with Spencerville and, despite a putrid third quarter, went on to beat the Bearcats 64-48.
Sometimes momentum doesn’t show up on a stat sheet or play-by-play but it did Tuesday. Zach Goecke hit a pair of free throws with 4:15 remaining until halftime to pull Spencerville with three points at 25-22.
From there, though, LCC found its legs and went on an 11-2 run. Dantez Walton had four points and Nick Taflinger drilled a 3-pointer during the run.
“We had to find the shooters. (Mason) Nourse was getting looks, (Jacob) Meyer got some good looks and I said we have to find those shooters,” LCC coach Frank Kill said. “When we find those shooters, when you close out, it makes for a longer rebound and got us some easier baskets.”
The Thunderbirds (18-2) needed that run because, prior to that, Spencerville wasn’t showing signs of going anywhere. LCC built a 13-6 lead midway through the first quarter but Spencerville closed the quarter little 8-5 burst to gain some new life.
And again in the second quarter, after Tre Cobbs opened scoring with a 3-pointer, Spencerville (12-7) clawed back with
a Jacob Meyer 3-pointer and 3-of-4 shooting at the free throw line to pull within 25-22.
Spencerville went 1-of-9 from the field in the third quarter and still managed to gain ground on LCC. The Bearcats went 7-of-10 from the free throw line in the quarter while LCC managed just three field goals.
“We didn’t come out of halftime with a lot of momentum but it woke our guys up to say, ‘Hey, this is a good team that could bounce back.’ We remember last year and two years ago,” Kill said, referencing back-to-back Bearcats wins in the series. “Those were not good feelings.”
The fourth quarter more resembled LCC’s effort in the final part of the second quarter. Cobbs and Walton iced the game with dominating performances in the
quarter; Cobbs had eight points and Walton had seven of the 22 scored by LCC.
“Defensively in the second half, the difference was we closed out on their shooters,” Kill said. “I don’t even know if they made a three in the second half because of the way we contested the shots. In the fourth quarter, we stepped up our game and attacked more.”
Walton narrowly missed out on a double-double, leading all players with 20 points and nine rebounds. Cobbs provided ample support, adding 18 points.
Nourse came off the bench to lead Spencerville with 13 points. Damien Corso had nine points and Dakota Prichard had six points and six boards.

Lady Panthers scorch the nets in 60-54 winBy JIM COX
DHI Media [email protected]
ROCKFORD — In a well-played game between evenly-matched teams, Parkway edged Waynesfield-Goshen 60-54 Tuesday night.
Both teams are now 8-13.The game featured some outstanding
shooting with both teams hitting over 50 percent from the field. There were 18 made 3-pointers, nine by each team, and 13 of those triples came in the first half.
“That’s by far the best we’ve shot the three all year long,” said Parkway coach Chris Weirrick. “That was pretty exciting. What wasn’t so exciting for me was Waynesfield has not shot threes well all year long and they were 9-of-13, 69 percent from three. I didn’t think we played terrible defense, they were just hitting their shots.”
The wild fourth quarter was totally different from the first three periods. It was the only quarter during which the teams didn’t shoot well and neither team made a 3-pointer. For the first time, free throws became a factor as nine of the game’s 15 attempted foul shots were in those last eight minutes.
Parkway seemed to be in control with a 52-41 lead and six minutes left in the game but the the Tigers’ Jenna Crawford hit three straight open layups, all on assists from Paige Crawford. Jenna Crawford also sank an and-1 after the third bucket, and it was 52-48 with 4:28 left. Panther freshman Haley Hawk swished two free throws, and
Terra Walls nailed a bucket from the left elbow, pushing the Lady Panther lead back to 56-48 at 3:02, but the outcome was far from decided.
Jenna Crawford’s two foul shots and a Kiley Valenti layup cut it to 56-52 with two minutes left. Sarah Gehron landed an eight-foot baseline jumper, but Valenti escaped for another layup, pulling the Tigers back to within four at
58-54 with 1:03 remaining.A missed shot at each end, a Parkway
turnover, and an in-and-out Waynesfield layup led to a back-court foul sending Kayle Heckler to the line where she sealed the deal with two free throws at 0:04.
Parkway’s Sarah Gehron (12) tries a jumper over a Waynesfield-Goshen de-fender during Tuesday’s non-conference meeting in Rockford. The Lady Pan-thers built an early lead and held on for a 60-54 win. Kayle Heckler led the Panthers with 16 points while Gehron added 13 along with a team-high seven rebounds. (DHI Media/Pat Agler)

Ottoville boys send seniors off with big win
By LARRY HEIINGDHI Media [email protected]
OTTOVILLE — For
the second night in a row, Ottoville High School hosted McComb in basketball action. And for the second time, the Big Green said good-bye to their seniors with a big win over the Panthers.
On Monday evening, the Ottoville girls rolled to a 68-31 victory over McComb and Tuesday night was the boys turn as they won easily 61-40 in non-league action.
In pregame ceremonies, Ottoville honored a pair of senior cheerleaders: Anna Bendele and Megan Lambert. Also recog-nized were basketball players: Colin Bendele, Kyle Bendele, Tyler Roby, Austin Honigford and Brandt Landin.
McComb got the scoring underway as Blake Glaser hit a 3-pointer for the Panthers’ only lead of the contest. The Big Green went on a 10-0 run, highlighted with triples
by Roby and Honigford. On the defensive side, Landin swatted away three McComb shots to keep the Panthers scoreless. Drew Bryan stopped the Big Green streak with a jumper but Ottoville’s offense stayed in high gear as Honigford found Kyle Bendele open under the buck-et for two. Nick Moorman put the Big Green up 14-5 scoring on a fast break and Landin finished out the first-quarter scoring with an old-fashioned 3-point play.
After playing a nearly perfect first eight minutes, the Ottoville offense was slowed by seven turnovers in the second quarter. After the Panthers scored first, Landin lobbed the ball into Kyle Bendle for the layin. The Panthers managed to cut the deficit down to 19-13 but Roby ended any thoughts of a comeback with a turnaround baseline jumper.

NEW YORK — The East was a 2-team race at last year’s trade deadline and Larry Bird made the move he thought would win it.
When the Indiana Pacers acquired Evan Turner from rebuilding Philadelphia, they hoped it would provide the scoring punch to beat out Miami and reach the NBA Finals. It didn’t and Turner is now in Boston.
Now the Pacers are trying to get in the postseason, two games out of eighth place and seeking a spark that could sling-shot them past others down the bottom of the playoff ladder. Bird promises to be as aggressive as when his team on top.
“We’re always looking to improve the team and obvious-ly there’s a lot of improvement that needs to be done,” the Pacers’ president said recently. “So we’ll look around the league and talk to a lot of different peo-ple and see what’s out there and hopefully we can do something that makes us better.”
If not, he said, he’ll wait until the summer.That’s what every NBA team has to decide in
the next couple of days.The trade deadline is Thursday afternoon and with
many teams in contention, the question is whether that makes them more conservative or cautious.
Help could be found in the hours before the NBA returns from its All-Star break. But some will be hesitant to tinker with so little time left in the season. The Turner deal, in which Indiana traded popular veteran Danny Granger, certainly didn’t help its locker room chemistry.
Plus, teams can plug holes by simply opening their wallets, without costing any assets.
Houston signed Josh Smith after he was waived by Detroit, Amare Stoudemire is headed to the Mavericks once he clears waivers and other veterans could be bought out and become free agents after the deadline.
One of the most intriguing moves could involve Ray Allen, who will have contending suitors if he opts to play after sitting out all season.
The teams most motivated to deal might be the disap-pointing ones. Brooklyn probably can’t find a taker for Deron Williams with all his injuries and dollars left on the $98.5 million contract he signed in 2012, but was close to mov-ing Brook Lopez earlier this season. Denver’s rocky season should have contenders calling to inquire about Arron Afflalo, Ty Lawson or Wilson Chandler.
The right move can help someone surge through spring. The wrong one could mean an early start on summer.
Don’t count on top stars changing teams — none has at the deadline since Utah surprisingly sent Williams to the Nets on the eve of the 2011 one. Teams more likely trade at this point to clear cap space for the summer, which is why the New York Knicks could seek a deal for Jose Calderon after already ship-ping out guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert.
Cleveland acquired them and, along with getting Timofey Mozgov from Denver in a separate deal, perhaps proved the best moves for this season were already made.
Dallas acted quickly to acquire Rajon Rondo from Boston in December, not long before Memphis capitalized on the Celtics’ youth movement to deal for Jeff Green.
For Golden State and Atlanta, the current NBA leaders, their winning moves maybe came long ago.
The Warriors got Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee at the 2012 deadline to provide some muscle in the rugged West. Five months later, the Hawks acquired Kyle Korver from Chicago and he could be headed for the best perimeter-shoot-ing season in NBA history.
“When I got traded to Atlanta I was coming from Chicago and I wasn’t really all that excited about it, to be honest with you. But all the people that Danny Ferry kept on bringing in, they’ve been not just good basketball people but good people,” Korver said. “When I was a free agent two summers ago, I chose to come back. We had some opportunities to go to some teams that already were more established and could win but I just really believed in what Atlanta was building and what they were doing.

Cardinals wear down Musketeers in hoopsBy JIM METCALFE
DHI Media Sports [email protected]
FORT JENNINGS — Fort Jennings was already minus three injured starters: senior veterans Connor Wallenhorst (out for the season) and Nick Von Sossan and junior Alex Berelsman; when New Bremen came to town for a non-league boys cage clash Tuesday night inside The Fort.
The Cardinals used their superior depth and relentless man-to-man defense to force 29 turnovers and grab a 69-48 triumph.
The teams stayed relatively even in the early going, with the Musketeers (5-13) — who used some variety in their defensive schemes, especially man and a box-and-1 — scoring first and the Cardinals (12-8) answering. That was true for the first four baskets for each team, with the Musketeers taking their final lead of 8-6 at 3:40 on a putback by freshman Brandon Wehri. However, he was faced with foul trouble most of the game — several players battled fouls on both sides as the visitors were called for 25 and the hosts 18. An Alex Britton (8 points, 8 boards) put back a miss at 3:20 for the final tie and Braden Elshoff (3 steals) scored inside at 3:00 to give the Cardinals the lead for good at 10-8. Despite both teams committing eight miscues in the ragged first period, the Cardinals shot 7-of-10 and took a 17-8 edge on an inside deuce by Nolan Fox (10 counters, 4 caroms) at 15 ticks.
The visitors cleaned up their ballhan-dling in the second stanza — four turn-overs — while the Musketeers — trying to meld different cogs into the lineup due to those injuries — didn’t (8 errors). In addition, five offensive rebounds (15 for the game out of Bremen’s 32 total) helped the guests shoot 5-of-16 (Jennings 3-of-5). The foul line came into play as well with the visitors hitting 9-of-10 in the stanza (14-of-17 overall for 82.4%) and the hosts 8-of-11 (19-of-30 for the contest for 63.3%). Bremen’s largest margin was 35-17 on a pair of Fox singles at 2:28 before Jennings got it down to 37-22 at the half on two foul shots by Drew Grone (13 markers, 8 boards, 3 robberies) at 48.5 ticks.
Fort Jennings still struggled against the Cardinals’ ‘D’ in the third, commit-ting nine more errors and only getting nine shots (4 makes). New Bremen canned 9-of-18, with seven players scor-ing at least a basket, and built a 56-32 edge on a short baseline “J” by Greg Parker at 1:30.
The Musketeers kept battling and went to a 1-2-2 zone at the start of the fourth. As well, they showed more aggression and got to the line frequently (hitting 9-of-14). The closest they could get was 62-47 on a drive down the lane by Austin Kehres (19 counters, 9
boards) at 3:42. However, both benches emptied after that.
In toto, New Bremen canned 27-of-61 fielders, 1-of-13 beyond the arc, for 44.2 percent; and added 18 miscues. Carson Manger was the third player in double digits with 11.
“It’s tough to have injuries like that; we’re trying to mix and match people and it’s tough to gell so quickly. We had too many turnovers and counting their offensive boards, they had a lot more opportunities,” Musketeer coach Keith Utendorf explained. “Still, I am so proud of the effort of these guys. They kept at it and I saw a lot of positives to build on from here on. We should be getting healthier in the near future and we’ll have to work those guys back into the lineup.”
For the night, Fort Jennings counted 14-of-35 shots (1-of-6 behind the arc) for 40 percent; and amassed 32 caroms (11 offensive).
“That’s the defense we try to play; wear teams down by just keeping after people. We go to our bench early and often,” New Bremen coach Adam Dougherty said. “The games we lose, we don’t stay close enough to allow our depth to pay off. We also have a good inside-out mix but we basically try to go through our inside people as much as possible offensively.”
In junior varsity, New Bremen
claimed a 42-35 victory.Tate Myers downed 15 for the vic-
tors, while Jeff Hoersten countered with 11 for the Orange and Black.

Pitchers and catchers report this week to spring training
By JAY COHENAssociated Press
Washington’s star-studded rotation reports to Florida. Matt Harvey continues his comeback with the New York Mets. Joe Maddon takes over the Chicago Cubs and Russell Martin gets a closer look at Toronto’s pitching staff.
While much of the Northeast and Midwest nav-igates bitter cold and piles of snow, spring training begins in earnest this week when pitch-ers and catchers file into camps in Florida and Arizona. World Champion San Francisco is one of four National League teams slated to begin on Thursday and most of the majors’ pitchers and backstops will be in place by this weekend.
Following several massive free-agent deals and block-buster trades, there are plen-ty of compelling story lines heading into baseball’s first spring training since Rob Manfred took over as com-missioner in January.
The Nationals strength-ened their already solid rota-tion by signing free agent Max Scherzer to a $210 mil-lion, 7-year contract. Now the pressure is on Scherzer to deliver on that big deal and help the reigning NL East champions advance deep into the playoffs for the first time since the franchise moved to Washington.
While Scherzer will attract plenty of attention this spring, it looks as if Tanner Roark will have to adjust to a bullpen role after he had a breakout season a year ago, winning 15 games with a sparking 2.85 ERA. The right-hander is a nice insur-ance policy for manager Matt Williams should any of the starters get hurt.
Harvey missed all of last season for his recovery from elbow ligament-replacement surgery, and got an early start on spring training by report-
ing to New York’s facility about two weeks before the first scheduled workout. He is hoping to be ready for opening day, but the Mets could decide on a slow and steady approach for the ace right-hander.
It’s a brand new day for the Cubs when they report to Arizona after a banner offseason that included the addition of Maddon, who had a 754-705 record during his successful nine-year run with
Tampa Bay.Cubs President
Theo Epstein pounced on the quirky skipper after he opted out of his contract
with the Rays, dumping Rick Renteria after just one sea-son. Epstein is counting on Maddon to ease the transition of the organization’s impres-sive stable of prospects to the rigors of the majors.
The Cubs were one of baseball’s most active teams over the winter. Same goes for Toronto, which is seeking its first playoff appearance since it won the World Series in 1993.
Martin was one of the majors’ most prized free agents over the winter, and he opted for an $82 million, five-year contract with the Blue Jays. The three-time All-Star, who was born in Toronto and raised in Montreal, hit .290 with 11 home runs and 67 RBIs with Pittsburgh last season, helping the Pirates to a second straight playoff berth.
Here are a few more things to watch heading into spring training:
HERE COME THE CHAMPS
The last team to win con-secutive World Series was the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. The next team to take a crack that feat is San Francisco, which beat Kansas City in seven games for the title last fall.

(Continued from page 6)
The first quarter was about as good as it gets. There were seven lead chang-es and seven made 3-pointers: four by Parkway (two by Heckler, one by Zoey Pond, one by Kayla Walls) and three by Waynesfield-Goshen. The hosts were 9 of 14 from the field and the visitors shot 7 of 10. Parkway led 22-17 after eight minutes, and the hot shooting continued in the second quarter, during which each team had three treys, with Parkway get-ting one by Gehron and two more from Kayla Walls. The Panthers led 35-28 at the break.
In the second half, the Lady Tigers switched to a man-to-man defense, and open Parkway threes were then hard to come by. However, Heckler started and ended the third quarter with triples, and W-G landed three more from long range. It was 50-41 after 24 minutes.
For the game as a whole, field goal shooting was virtually even with W-G at 53 percent, 21 of 40, and Parkway at 52 percent, 22 of 42. The Panthers were 7 of 10 from the stripe, the Tigers 3 of 5. Parkway had 12 turnovers while Waynesfield committed 14. The key sta-tistical difference was on the boards, with the Panthers winning that battle 23-12.
Heckler again was outstanding in all facets of the game and led all scorers with 16. Gehron, Hawk, and Kayla Walls added 13, 9, and 9. The Lady Tigers had excellent scoring balance among its five starters, as Abbie Van Horn, Jenna Crawford, Paige Crawford, Valenti, and Sydney Buffenbarger scored 12, 11, 10, 10, and 9, respectively.
The Parkway junior varsity is 10-10 after its 43-32 win. The bal-anced Panther scoring attack was led by Sydney Crouch with seven. The W-G JV squad is now 11-10.

“Shalynn is a great player and we were just trying to make it tough on her,” Huber said. “For the most part I thought we did a really nice job on her. Jackie, Nicole and Joni Kaufman, you have to credit everyone, because it takes five players to guard a player that good. We were a little torn on how we wanted to guard them but we started Jackie on their point and she forced a turnover right away. Jackie set the tone for us defensively and everyone fed off that energy. It was nice to see all five working together on defense.”
After Morman’s three made it a one point game at 20-19, Kalida finished the half with a 7-0 run as Osterhage had a basket, Kaufman hit a three-pointer and Allison Recker two free throws.
Kalida continued their momentum into the third quarter as they built an 11 point lead at 36-25 on an Osterhage three. Leipsic scored the final four points of the quarter as the Ladycats took a 36-29 lead to the fourth quarter.
Although they never led in the game, Leipsic made things interesting two minutes into the fourth quarter with a 6-1 run that had them with-in 37-35 on a Kelly Nadler free throw. Kalida ended the drama there with a 10-2 run that was highlighted by six points from Gardner, that started with a steal and layup before hitting two free throws and a jumper in the lane. Brittany Kahle and Allison Recker added baskets as the Ladycats were up 47-37.
Leipsic pulled within seven at 49-42 with 1:26 left on a Morman three as that would be as close as they would get.
“You have to credit their girls; Leipsic is not 16-4 for no reason. They are a good team and we knew they would make a run,” Huber
said. “I thought our offensive execution against the man, we got a little quick and didn’t get good shots. That’s what nice about having a lot of juniors and seniors that have been through the wars. They have seen all these situations and they responded in a posi-tive way. I’m really proud of them.”
“They did a great job pres-suring us right out of the gate,” Leipsic coach Gary Kreinbrink said. “They set the tempo early and we never really able to climb out of the hole. That is two games in a row now, that we fell behind early and haven’t been able to get all the way back. Give them credit , they played great. Jackie Gardner hit big shots early to get them off to a good start. Give them credit for hitting some big shots early to get the lead.”
Gardner led the Ladycats with 23 points and Allison Recker added 11 points.
Gerdeman led the Vikings with 13 points and Morman finished with 11 points.
Leipsic won the junior varsity game 33-28.

“It was a good learning experience for our guys, no doubt. It’s a game that prepares you for the tournament,” Spencerville coach Kevin Sensabaugh said. “We just lost a game. It’s not like we lost our season all of the sudden.”
The Bearcats lead the Northwest Conference standings by 1/2 game over Crestview.
“We talked about some of the things right now in the locker room we did wrong, some of the things we need to correct, but we also understand that we are young and we’re learning still,” Sensabaugh said. “Every game is an opportunity. So we say, ‘O.K., we didn’t play well enough tonight to win,’ so we put this in the rearview after we watch film and we try to move forward.”
The Bearcats went 19-of-27 from the free throw line, led by Nourse and Corso, who combined to go 11-of-17. Meanwhile, LCC attempted 11 foul shots and hit five.
However, the T-Birds made up for that disparity with a huge advantage on the glass, outrebounding Spencerville 26-16.
“I was a little upset that they beat us to loose balls and rebounds and that’s usually something we concentrate on and we just didn’t do a very good job of that,” Sensabaugh said. “If you don’t rebound and take care of the ball late in the season against good teams, you’re not going to win.”

Ottoville mentor Dave Kleman altered his game plan some since his etam had played the night before.
“We seemed to be a little leg weary at the start. (Assistant coach) Vaughn (Horstman) made the suggestion to sub early and often and then we got our sec-ond wind,” Kleman added. “We played much better the second quarter. We hang our hats on our defense and that part of our game has been pretty steady all season. St. John’s played pretty good defense on us for the most part as well.”
The Jays’ drought continued into the third period, lasting another 3:45 — missing four shots and adding three more miscues — as Ottoville’s lead reached 36-18 on two freebies by Alicia Honigford at 4:53. A Schulte bomb from the right wing finally broke the drought at 4:15 but the Jays would again have another drought — the rest of the third — and Ottoville took a 38-21 edge on a Lindeman 4-footer off a back-screen set with 1:12 showing.
Hays hit a 10-footer for the Jays at 7:02 but the Jays simply didn’t have the firepower this day to mount much of a threat as their deficit never fell below the final score. The five seniors finished the game — and their home careers — on the “The Vatican” court.
Both teams struggled with turn-overs the first period, splitting a total of 12. They both shot pretty well as the Jays were 5-of-7 and the Green 5-of-9, with Kramer coming off the bench for seven in the period. When Jessica Geise popped off the pine for a basket with 32 ticks on the clock, the score stood 12-12.
In sum, Ottoville connected on 14-of-33 shots (4-of-12 long range) for 42.4 percent; 12-of-15 from the line (80%); and totaled 20 miscues and 10 fouls.
Overall, St. John’s canned 12-of-28 fielders (4-of-11 beyond the arc) for 42.9 percent and 3-of-6 at the stripe (50%); and 14 fouls.

After an Ottoville mis-cue, McComb’s Clay Grubb scored his 1,000th career point on a fast-break layup. Following a brief break in the action to honor the milestone, the Panthers had a chance to cut into the lead but con-verted only two out of five attempts from the charity line. Honigford sunk a pair of free throws for the final points of the first half as the Big Green led 23-19 at the break.
Ottoville’s offense was back, opening the second half with seven unanswered points on a pair of baskets by Landin and a triple by Roby. Drew Siferd got the Panthers in the scoring column in the second half but Bendele answerd with a triple from the corner. Meanwhile, Kyle Bendle scored after grabbing a loose ball under the rack and hit a turnaround from the paint as the Big Green lead was now 43-28 after three periods.
Ottoville put away the game quickly in the opening minutes of the final quar-ter as Landin and Honigford scored. Following a Panther bucket, Landin struck again with a pull-up jumper from the foul line and scored on
an inbounds alley oop from Roby. The Big Green land-ed a total of five 3-pointers during the game and a final one by Roby gave Ottoville a 20-point lead, 54-34. The Big Green also displayed great team play as Moorman got the assist to Kyle Bendele for two. McComb’s Jordan Skilliter hit his second trey of the game but Landin matched the feat with a hoop-and-foul. During the free throw, coach Todd Turnwald pulled the seniors off the floor one by one to be recognized by the hometown fans for the final time.
“What a great way to go out for our seniors,” remarked a proud Coach Turnwald. “All five of our seniors had a huge game to defeat a very good McComb squad. In fact, that is the best game I’ve ever seen Austin Honigford play - he is our point guard and it made it happen for everyone.”
Landin led the Big Green offense with 16 points and classmate Roby was right behind with 14, including a pair of 3-pointers. Kyle Bendele was also in dou-ble digits with 10 points. Ottoville shot 54 percent from the field and was 12-of-13 from the foul line.
“We had three straight
games where our offense only scored in the 30s. Our team worked hard in prac-tice with great attitudes and smiles on their faces all year. We put big emphasis on scor-ing in transition and our guys came through tonight,” con-tinued Turnwald.
McComb (14-4, 9-1 BVC) only managed 33 percent shooting from the floor and was also cold from the line in making 5-0f-13 attempts. Leading the Panthers was Clay Grubb with 10 points.
Ottoville also lead the rebounding department 24-18.
The Big Green get back over the .500 mark at 10-9 (4-2 PCL) and travel to Leipsic Saturday night.
In junior varsity action, the Panther scored with three seconds remaining for a 33-31 victory.

The good news for the Giants is they have plenty of expe-rience when it comes to defending the title, having also won the World Series in 2010 and 2012. But they failed to make the playoffs following each of their previous two championships, slipping to a 76-86 record in 2013.
One spot to watch this spring is third base, where Casey McGehee replaces Pablo Sandoval after the slugger signed a $95 million, five-year deal with Boston over the winter. Madison Bumgarner returns after throwing a whopping 270 innings last year, and Matt Cain is back after he had surgery in August to remove bone chips from his right elbow.
MANY HAPPY RETURNSThe comeback capital of the majors is New York, which
has Harvey hoping to return to form, and three intriguing situ-ations with the Yankees. Left-hander CC Sabathia is back after he missed much of last season with a degenerative cartilage problem in his right knee, and Masahiro Tanaka is looking for a healthy second season after he was limited to 20 mostly impressive starts last year due to an elbow injury.
But one of spring training’s biggest stories is the return of Alex Rodriguez after the three-time AL MVP was suspended for last season for violations of baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract. Rodriguez’s last major league game was Sept. 25, 2013, against Tampa Bay, so no one really knows what to expect from the 39-year-old slugger.
Reds first baseman Joey Votto (left knee), Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder (neck surgery), Orioles third baseman Manny Machado (right knee surgery) and Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (left hip surgery) are among the other note-worthy comebacks to watch this spring.
NEW FACES IN NEW PLACESMaddon gets to give the ball to Jon Lester every fifth day
after the lefty signed a $155 million, six-year contract with the Cubs. Lester went 16-11 with a 2.46 ERA with Oakland and Boston last year.

BusinessSettling an estate is easierwhen information is shared
DEAR BRUCE: I am 71, divorced, and recently updat-ed all the information my four sons need to manage the final details of my will. My total estate is in the million-dollar range. I have named my old-est son (who is an attorney) as my executor and sent him a copy of the will. I sent the oth-ers a list of my account num-bers and contact information, passwords, final wishes, etc.
Do you think it would be appropriate to send each of my other sons a copy of my will? I’ve worked with senior citizens and their families for several years, and most fam-ilies I’ve met know little or nothing of their parents’ hold-ings and wishes. I’d like to be more open with my children, and we are all on good terms. What are the pros and cons? -- P.B.
DEAR P.B.: I can’t think of any cons and a whole raft of pros, assuming you are accurate when you say, “We are all on good terms.” Case closed! The more information they have available to them, the simpler it will be to settle the estate.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 75 years old. I have been draw-ing Social Security for several years. I receive $56 a month. I do receive a retirement from the U.S. government, but with gas prices and taxes going up all the time, it seems that we never have any money.
My wife draws $556 a month in Social Security. Is it too late for me to draw Social Security off of her account? -- G.H.
DEAR G.H.: By all means, you should make an application to find out if you can draw Social Security off of your wife’s account. Since you’re receiving such a tiny amount, it’s very likely that your wife would have a cer-tain amount of spillover on your behalf.
If I were you, I would make an appointment at the Social Security office. Have all the facts regarding both of your incomes, etc., in writing when you get there, and the likeli-hood is that the Social Secu-rity representatives can tell you what to expect. If you are told you can’t draw from your wife’s account, I wouldn’t drop it there. Consult one of the many attorneys who spe-cialize in these matters.
DEAR BRUCE: I am 27 years old and have only been in the workforce after college for a year. I already feel “be-hind” in terms of investing in savings, retirement, etc., but I don’t think it is too late for me to start. I don’t want to go through life financially naive.
Is there a book you can rec-ommend for me, something along the lines of “Invest-ments/Retirement for Dum-mies”? -- Erin
DEAR ERIN: You should be saluted for recognizing that you are starting a little behind and you won’t catch up unless you start. I don’t think it’s too late for you to start, either, as you have pointed out.
There are many books available, but you can also go right to the many online search engines and find a potpourri of information. You can also start by reading the business section in your local newspaper and maga-zines that are written for the non-knowledgeable inves-tor. You will find after a few months how much you’ve learned. At your age, you have a long way to go, and I congratulate you on your ma-ture approach to the subject.
DEAR BRUCE: The 401(k) plan my employer offers is based almost entire-ly on bonds. My employer provides a 1 percent match. While that might be right for someone close to retire-ment, I doubt that it’s right for me. I’m 26 years old. What should I consider when deciding whether to take my money out of the 401(k) and move it to a higher-yield in-vestment, such as an indexed stock market fund? -- Megan
DEAR MEGAN: Since your employer provides a match, even though you may find that the employer’s plan is based entirely on bonds, the 1 percent is a freebie and cer-tainly not money you should give away unless you can find a better plan that provides a far greater return. That should be simple to determine.
Then look around for something better-suited for a younger person such as your-self. I would recommend the marketplace. Over a long pe-riod, this is almost always go-ing to go up. Time is on your side.

Unverferth recognized for innovative product design
INFORMATION SUBMITTED
KALIDA — The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers has announced Unverferth Manufacturing Company, Inc., has won a prestigious AE50 award for its innovative Equalizer tracked undercarriage for grain carts.
AE50 competition entries are submitted annually by companies around the world with up to 50 of the best products chosen by a panel of international engineering experts. The judges select products that will advance engineering for the food and agricultural industries.
The AE50 awards program is spon-sored by Resource magazine to emphasize the role of new products and systems in bringing advanced technology to the mar-ketplace. These engineering developments help farmers, food processors and equip-ment manufacturers cut costs, enhance quality and increase profits.
About Equalizer TracksIncreasing flotation and minimizing
soil compaction is at the top of many farmers’ minds during harvest to maxi-mize next year’s crop yield. The Equalizer track undercarriage for grain carts provides added flotation and is designed to keep the cart’s footprint evenly distributed across varying terrain. The undercarriage features a patent-pending pivot point that allows each track to not only oscillate up and down, but also left to right for equalizing the cart’s footprint over uneven terrain.
The undercarriage features the indus-try’s first 42-inch wide belt with shallow tread design provides 15-percent greater footprint, over 60 square feet, yet retains a 12-foot, 8-inch length for easier turning around corners and minimizing berming. Hydraulic belt tensioning provides easier track alignment, optimum ground contact and even weight distribution. Two sets of four pivoting bogie wheels rotate up and over ground contours for even greater ground contact. Each tracked undercarriage is standard with an automatic greaser for
consistent lubrication of the track’s pivot-ing points. The Equalizer track undercar-riage is available on select 1,300-bushel and larger models of the company’s four grain handling brands: Brent, Killbros, Parker and Unverferth.
Unverferth Mfg. Co, Inc., is a fam-ily-owned manufacturer and marketer of tillage, seed, hay- and grain-handling equipment along with pull-type sprayers and agricultural dual , triple and special-ty-wheeled products.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Now on the menu in Beijing for Chinese New Year: lots and lots of American lobster.
Exports of U.S. lobster to China have rocketed in the past few years, largely to satisfy the appetites of the communist country’s growing middle class, to whom a steamed, whole crustacean — flown in live from the United States — is not just a festive delicacy and a good-luck symbol but also a mark of prosperity.
And that’s good news for Maine, far and away the nation’s No. 1 lobster state, where the boom has put more money in the pockets of lobstermen and kept shippers and processors busy during the usually slack midwinter months.
For Stephanie Nadeau, owner of The Lobster Co., a whole-saler in Arundel, Maine, the demand has meant 14-hour nights spent stuffing wriggling lobsters into crates so they can reach China in time for the Lunar New Year, which falls on Thursday this year. She said she sends 100,000 pounds a week to China this time of year.
“There’s lot of orders, lots of demand right now,” Nadeau said. “It is a race to get them there for Chinese New Year.”
On the other side of the world, every morning at 9, the Auspicious Garden restaurant in Beijing receives 800 lobsters that have just crossed the Pacific aboard a cargo plane. In the evening, hundreds of diners fill the two-story restaurant in the gigantic Pangu Seven Stars Hotel for a nearly $80 all-you-can-eat buffet with the New England specialty as the main attraction.
Xu Daqiang, a 35-year-old businessman who was at the restaurant for the first time on a romantic date with his girlfriend, said food-safety concerns in China make him choose expensive high-class restaurants where he can find imported seafood.
Cao Lijun, a 24-year-old Shanghai resident celebrating her friend’s birthday in a party of four, alluded to lobster’s reputed aphrodisiac properties when she said with a half-laugh: “How to say it? It makes my husband healthier. Really, this is what we say, because it is high in proteins.”
Lobsters and other foods seen as luxuries are popular at Lunar New Year and other festive occasions. The bright red of a cooked lobster is considered lucky, as is its resemblance to a dragon.
China also imports lobsters from Canada, Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere, but the market for the U.S. variety is exploding, with the demand strong year-round, not just at New Year’s.
American exports of live or processed lobster to China climbed from $2.1 million in 2009 to $90.5 million in 2014, fed-eral statistics show. China took about 12 percent of U.S. lobster exports in 2014, up from 0.6 percent in 2009.
American lobster: The new Chinese New Year delicacy
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — How many remotes does it take to watch tele-vision, stream Netflix or record your favorite show on DVR?
The Ray Super Remote wants to declutter your cof-fee table and become the central nervous system of all of your home entertain-ment systems. The touch-screen device, released Tuesday, is designed to control TVs, cable boxes, DVRs, video game con-soles and Internet stream-ing players such as Roku and Apple TV. What’s more, it runs on software that learns viewers’ pref-erences so it can list pro-grams suited to personal interests.
“As we looked at ways to reimagine TV, it seemed like the remote control needed the most help,” says David Skokna, CEO of New York-based Ray Enterprises. “We think we have a big opportunity to do something magical.”
Priced at $199, the remote won’t be released until May or June, but pre-orders are being accepted online at http://www.ray.co . It requires a Wi-Fi system and pay-TV boxes to work properly.
This isn’t the first attempt to build a smarter remote control. Logitech and a few other electron-ics companies have been making universal remote
controls for years. More recently, a variety of mobile apps have been offering ways to turn smartphones and tablets into multipur-pose remote controls.
After nearly three years developing his device, Skokna is counting on the Ray remote’s versatility and intelligence to stand out from the other options on the market.
The Ray remote con-trols more than 200,000 devices and can run appli-cations that will enable it to control other Internet-connected home applianc-es, such as Google’s Nest thermostat. The search and recommendation fea-tures are set up to elim-inate the need to spend a lot of time looking for content. Users can tell the remote what kinds of pro-gramming interests them, such as soccer or comedy, so shows fitting those cat-egories are automatically highlighted on the nearly 5-inch screen.
The remote’s battery lasts for about 10 days, and can be easily recharged in a power station that dou-bles as a holding tray.
The biggest question facing the Ray remote may be this: How many peo-ple are so frustrated with juggling multiple remote controls that they will be willing to spend $199 on another device?

Dear AbbyColleague’s texts suggest she has more in mind than work
DEAR ABBY: My husband is a handsome executive who works out of town. I’m a professional with a responsible job that limits my ability to travel.
I needed to borrow his phone recently and noticed that one of his colleagues has been texting him after hours. She asks if he has trav-eled safely, tells him she misses him, how much she enjoys work-ing with him -- all with romantic emoticons. I’m concerned that the flattery and emoticons indicate she wants more than a work-based relationship. She’s married with kids. How should I approach this? -- WORRIED WIFE IN KEN-TUCKY
DEAR WORRIED WIFE: Because there have been more than one of these flirtatious, unbusiness-like communications, assume that your husband hasn’t discouraged them. Confront him. Tell him you feel what she’s doing is a threat to your marriage, and you want it stopped. But before you do, make copies of the texts so you can con-front the woman with them if she doesn’t stop.
DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for a man to talk on his cellphone at the urinal in a public restroom, or for a woman to talk on the phone while using the toilet in one of the stalls?
Also, please remind everyone to wash their hands after using the restroom. -- RUSSELL IN RICH-LAND, WASH.
DEAR RUSSELL: I can think of few things more unpleasant than conversing with someone with the sound of “running water” (or worse) in the background and toi-lets flushing. Why anyone would do this is beyond me. It’s very rude.
And, while I can remind peo-ple about hand-washing until the cows come home, I’ll suggest in-
stead that men and women who use public restrooms not touch the door handle without a paper towel -- when available -- firmly in hand.
DEAR ABBY: I grew up in the ‘90s in a neighborhood where the kids respected their neighbors. I now live in a different state and, obviously, a different era. Neigh-borhood kids constantly use my steep driveway to ride their bicy-cles, tricycles and scooters without asking permission.
Am I right in thinking this is rude, because in my opinion, they are trespassing? Not only could I be held responsible if one of them gets hurt on my property, but they also are extremely loud and do this while my children are trying to nap. They have been asked to stop, and I have threatened to talk to their parents, even though I don’t know where they live. What do I do? -- FRUSTRATED HOMEOWNER
DEAR FRUSTRATED: Dis-cuss this with your insurance bro-ker. You are correct that if one of the children gets hurt on your property you could be liable. You also need to be more proactive than you have been. Tell the kids they are disturbing your children who are trying to nap, and if the kids don’t go away, find out where they live and talk to the other parents. It would be cheaper than having to install a gate in front of your drive-way.

C l e a n s i n g , exfoliating and slathering on wrinkle creams seem to be the secret to smooth, f r e s h - l o o k i n g skin. But if you overdo it, you can actually make your skin look worse, according to ShopSmart, the shop-ping magazine from the publisher of Consum-er Reports.
It’s also easy to overdo it on nail polish re-movers, tooth whiteners, facial cleansers and wrinkle creams. How do you know if you’re guilty of beauty-product overkill? ShopSmart outlines the signs and how to prevent it:
-- Exfoliation productsWhen you overdo it, by using an exfoliant
too often or too vigorously, you can easily end up with red, blotchy skin and even abrasions. “Just as you can scratch wood with sandpaper, you can scratch the surface of your skin by ag-gressive scrubbing,” says Dr. Barbara R. Reed, a clinical professor of dermatology at the Uni-versity of Colorado Hospital in Denver.
Play it safe. Exfoliating once or twice per week is plenty. If you have highly sensitive skin, acne or rosacea, go easy with strong ex-foliating products such as alpha hydroxy acid scrubs or mechanical brushes, which can make your skin condition worse.
-- Nail polish removersWhen you overdo it, your hands might
look fresh, but if you use the wrong type of polish remover too often, your nails could be-come brittle and discolored. “Most nail polish removers contain acetone, which dehydrates the nails,” says Dr. Erin Gilbert, an assistant professor of dermatology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City.
Play it safe. Limit the use of nail polish re-mover to a max of once per week. After re-moving polish, rinse your hands and nails with water to remove the chemicals and rehydrate the nails. Then moisturize your nails with hand cream or cuticle oil.
-- Teeth whitenersWhen you overdo it with at-home whiten-
ing strips, you can cause permanent damage by softening tooth enamel, irritating the dental pulp where the nerves are and even burning the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth, warns Dr. Gigi Meinecke, a dentist in Poto-mac, Maryland, and a spokeswoman for the Academy of General Dentistry. “If your teeth become chalky white,” she says, “you’ve had a profound effect on the micro-hardness of the enamel. The tooth now is susceptible to abrasion even from a toothbrush.” If you find that food is getting stuck between your front teeth, you may have “burned away that small triangle of gum that normally sits between each tooth.”
Play it safe. ShopSmart suggests using whitening strips as directed daily for just a week or two. Then use them for a day or two every other month to maintain the results.
-- Facial cleansersWhen you overdo it with sudsy or foaming
cleansers -- especially those with salicylic acid or glycolic acid -- you could strip natural oils from your skin. That can cause dryness, itch-iness, flakiness and inflammation -- and em-phasize the appearance of fine lines.
Play it safe. Vary your cleansing regimen with the seasons. In the warmer months, when you’re sweating, a sudsy or foaming cleanser will do a better job of cleansing and reducing clogged pores. “Most people need to cleanse once a day if their face is dry, and twice a day in the summer if it is sweaty or oily,” Reed says.
-- Wrinkle creamsWhen you overdo it on retinoid creams
-- especially strong prescription formulas -- which work by stimulating collagen produc-tion and increasing cell turnover, you can end up with red, dry, peeling, stinging and burning skin.
Play it safe. “A little goes a long way,” says Dr. Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, a dermatologist who is also a clinical instructor at the UCSF Medical Center. “You only need a pea-sized amount for the entire face.” Also, start slowly with a low retinoid concentration, using it ev-ery second or third night. “Applying a gentle neutral moisturizer, such as CeraVe PM, over your retinoid can reduce the irritation factor by half,” Gilbert says. You can gradually work up to nightly use and a formula with a higher concentration.

Preventing beautyproduct overkill
Diet, lifestyle changes can ease discomfort of GERD
DEAR DOC-TOR K: Can lifestyle changes help relieve my heartburn?
DEAR READ-ER: Heartburn is an uncomfortable burn-ing sensation that ra-diates up the middle of your chest. It re-sults from a condition called gastroesoph-ageal reflux disease (GERD), or “reflux.” With GERD, stomach acid surges up into the
esophagus, the “swal-lowing tube” that connects our mouth to our stomach.
Our stomachs make acid to help di-gest food. The lining of our stomachs is built to resist injury from the acid. The lining of the esopha-gus, however, is easi-ly injured by acid.
To protect the lining of the esophagus from acid, there is a circular ring of muscle where the esophagus joins the stomach. It’s called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES. The ring opens to allow food we’ve swallowed into the stomach. Then it clamps down, preventing acid from reaching the esopha-gus.
In GERD, the LES doesn’t clamp down enough. As a result, stomach acid squirts up into the lower esophagus. This irri-tates the lining, caus-ing the sensation of burning.
Fortunately, diet and lifestyle changes can help prevent re-flux. Here are some things you can try:
-- Eat sever-al smaller meals throughout the day, rather than one or two big meals. A stom-ach full from a big meal (and acid) is more likely to cause GERD.
-- Relax when you eat. Eat slowly.
-- Remain upright after eating. Try not to bend over or strain to lift heavy objects for at least three hours after eating.
-- Avoid eating within three hours of going to bed. Do not eat bedtime snacks. Food (and acid) in the stomach reflux-es more easily when you’re lying down.
-- Lose weight. Ex-cess pounds increase pressure on the stom-ach and push acid into the esophagus.
-- Loosen up. Avoid tight belts, waistbands and oth-er clothing that puts pressure on your stomach.
-- Avoid foods that can trigger reflux:
high-fat foods, spicy dishes, tomatoes and tomato products, citrus fruits, garlic, onions, milk, carbon-ated drinks, coffee (including decaf), tea, chocolate, mints and alcohol. They all relax the circular muscle and make re-flux more likely.
-- Stop smoking. Nicotine stimulates stomach acid produc-tion. It also impairs the function of the muscle that keeps food and acidic juices in the stomach.
-- Chew (sugar-less) gum. It increas-es saliva production, soothing the esoph-agus and washing acid back down to the stomach.
-- Discuss your medications with your doctor. Cer-tain drugs, includ-ing aspirin and other NSAIDs, oral contra-ceptives, narcotics, certain antidepres-sants and some asth-ma medications can cause heartburn.
-- Raise your bed’s head. Elevate the head of your bed by placing a wedge under your upper body. Don’t elevate your head with extra pillows. That makes reflux worse by bend-ing you at the waist.
-- Exercise wise-ly. Wait at least two hours after a meal be-fore exercising.
-- Try herbal rem-edies. Certain herbs, including chamo-mile, ginger and lico-rice, may help relieve heartburn symptoms.

Do Just one thingAn electric space heater can be an effi-
cient way to heat a room because it heats only where you want, not the entire house. When shopping for a space heater, the De-partment of Energy recommends you buy one that has the Underwriters Laboratory (or UL) label on it, which means that it has passed certain safety tests. Choose one that has a thermostat on it; this allows you to choose the right heat settings for your home so you won’t be overheating a room. Be sure to keep space heaters away from automatic thermostats in your home -- it could trick the thermostat into thinking your whole home is warmer than it is. Finally, get the right size: Measure the room and then use the space chart on the box to find the right size at the store.

White House puts immigration plans on hold after ruling
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration put its new deportation-relief program on hold Tuesday on the eve of its launch, complying reluctantly with a federal judge’s order that roiled immigrant communities nationwide and seemed to harden an already-tense stalemate on Capitol Hill.
President Barack Obama promised an appeal and predicted he’d prevail. But for tens of thousands of immigrants in line to begin applying today for work permits and deportation stays under his directives, their plans were canceled, at least temporarily.
Talking to reporters in the Oval Office, Obama said he dis-agreed with the ruling by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas that the administration had exceeded its authority. But he said that, for now, he must abide by it.
“We’re not going to disregard this federal court ruling,” Obama said, but he added that administration officials would continue to prepare to roll out the program. “I think the law is on our side and history is on our side,” he said.
On Capitol Hill, the Homeland Security Department stood 10 days away from losing funding, but Hanen’s ruling made a compromise on that dispute look more distant than ever. Republicans are blocking funding for the agency unless Democrats agree to cancel Obama’s immigration orders, and they seized on the ruling as validation for their position.
“Congress must reassert its waning power. We must re-es-tablish the constitutional principle that the people’s representa-tives control the purse,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, a leading immigration hardliner.
Yet Senate Democrats, who have been blocking a House-passed bill that would fund the department but also undo Obama’s actions, said the ruling from Hanen did nothing to budge them.
Did NSA plant spyware in computers around world?
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Did the National Security Agency plant spyware deep in the hard drives of thousands of computers used by foreign governments, banks and other surveillance targets around the world?
A new report from Russian cybersecu-rity firm Kaspersky Lab said its research-ers identified a new family of malicious programs or worms that infected com-puters in multiple countries, primarily overseas. Targets appeared to be spe-cifically selected and included military, Islamic activists, energy companies and other businesses, as well as government personnel.
Without naming the United States as the source of the malware, the report said one of the programs has elements in common with the so-called Stuxnet worm, which the New York Times and Washington Post have said was developed by the U.S. and Israeli governments to disrupt Iranian nuclear facilities. Based on their similarities, the creators of both programs “are either the same or working closely together,” Kaspersky’s report said.
The malware was not designed for financial gain but to collect information through “pure cyberespionage,” added Kaspersky researcher Vitaly Kamluk. In its report, the firm said the malware was extremely sophisticated and “expensive to develop.”
NSA spokeswoman Vanee Vines declined comment Tuesday, but cited a 2014 presidential directive that instruct-ed U.S. intelligence agencies to respect Americans’ privacy while continuing to conduct overseas operations necessary to guard against terrorism or other threats.
Kaspersky researchers said some of the spyware was designed to burrow into the essential software that comes pre-installed on a computer’s disk drive, known as firmware. Once there, it was difficult to detect and virtually impossible to remove, and it could gain access to vital codes, such as the keys to deciphering encrypted files. Kamluk said compromising firm-ware is a difficult technical challenge that likely requires knowledge of the manufac-turer’s source code — normally a closely guarded secret.
Just Biden being Biden? VP's odd moves give pause
WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s the thing about impromptu moments in poli-tics: Often they work, some-times they fall flat, but occa-sionally they turn out down-right awkward. Vice President Joe Biden learned that the hard way Tuesday — twice.
Hosting a White House summit on violent extremism, Biden sought to draw a par-allel between Minneapolis, where local leaders are work-ing to prevent radicalization of Somali youth, and his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, which Biden said also has a “large, very identifi-able Somali community.”
“I might add, if you ever come to the train station you may notice that I have great relations with them, because an awful lot of them are driv-ing cabs, and are friends of mine,” Biden said.
His audience — a group of religious and communi-ty leaders, many of them Muslim or of African descent — responded with muted, uncomfortable chuckles as Biden continued without skipping a beat. “For real. I’m not being solicitous, I’m being serious,” he said.
To some, the observation smacked of a well-publi-cized gaffe that then-Sen. Biden made in 2006, when he told an Indian-American supporter that in Delaware, “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” Amid the resulting dust-up, Biden’s aides said he simply meant to high-light the vibrant Indian-American community in his home state.
Just a few hours before musing about the preponder-ance of Somali cabbies, Biden was swearing in new Defense Secretary Ash Carter when he got up close and personal with the wife of the man who now runs the most powerful mili-tary in the world.
As Carter began speaking in the Roosevelt Room, Biden beckoned Stephanie Carter from across the room, then put both hands on her shoulders as her husband thanked Biden for presiding over the cere-mony. Biden’s hands lingered for roughly 20 seconds until he leaned in and whispered in her ear.
What, pray tell, was the vice president confiding in Carter’s wife? It’s anybody’s guess, but within seconds Carter reached back and put his own hand on his wife’s shoulder as he thanked his “perfect wife Stephanie” for her support along his profes-sional path.
Both incidents sparked prompt and voluminous reac-tions on social media, as viewers who caught the events on TV or heard about them later pondered: Just what was Biden thinking?
No stranger to improvisa-tion, Biden over decades has built a brand on his tendency to speak his mind, endear-ing him to those who crave authenticity from political leaders. Biden’s supporters brush off his more jarring moments as “just Biden being Biden.”
For show dogs, complex monikers are the name of the gameNEW YORK (AP) — His name says it all:
Sumluv Robert Deniro Johnson was bred to be a star.
His drama-queen mother is Susan Lucci. His high-jumping dad: Magic Johnson. Deniro himself is a grand champion at the art and sport of being a Chinese shar-pei.
Why Deniro?“He’s a ham,” owner Maria Johnson of Newark,
New Jersey, said this week as Deniro stared down Westminster Kennel Club dog show visitors as though auditioning them for a movie of his own: “Pet This.”
With mash-up monikers and more initials than a doctor’s office diploma wall, it’s no wonder show dogs leave some spectators asking just what’s in a name.
But the fanciful-sounding handles aren’t just for show. They reflect dogs’ credentials, pedigrees and characteristics, plus breeders’ systems for distin-guishing one litter of puppies from another.
Sometimes, they’re just plain pun.“Naming the puppies is one of the most enjoy-
able parts of having a litter. We have a lot of fun with it,” says Dalmatian breeder Mary-Lynn Jensen of Windermere, Florida. Her latest pups are getting names related to the HBO drama “Game of Thrones.” Previous litters were named after champagne appellations, beers, Disney characters,
novelist Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum mystery series and phrases that include “ain’t” or “mind.”
Perhaps the most irresistible: Woodwynd’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotted Mind, aka Shiner.
A primer: Show dogs and many other purebreds have formal “registered names” that go in breed records. Whether chosen by breeders or owners, registered names generally begin with the breed-er’s kennel, such as Sumluv in Deniro’s case or Woodwynd in Shiner’s.
Names might include other kennels or dogs from the pup’s pedigree. Registries may add a num-ber or an owner’s name if needed to differentiate one Rover from another. Abbreviations before and after dogs’ names denote their accomplishments, such as “GCH” for grand champion in traditional breed judging, “MACH” for agility master champi-on or “OM” for obedience master.
Then the dogs have everyday “call names.” They’re generally chosen by owners and may or may not relate to registered names. Adding anoth-er layer, breeders might use temporary “puppy names” before the dogs go to their owners’ homes.
Names can function as a quick-reference code for recalling a dog’s lineage or litter. Many breeders name litters in alphabetical order — all “A” names one year, “B” the next, and so on.
Others like to get a little more creative.
Vogue — formally, Lamz Strike A Pose — the Bedlington terrier breed winner Tuesday, was part of a French-themed litter born on the 2013 anniver-sary of the day Louis XVI ascended to the throne. Centreville, Virginia-based mother-daughter breed-ers Laurie Zembrzuski and Gaby Gilbeau have other litters around themes including Ireland, Great Britain, gambling and the circus.
“It’s easy to remember which litters the pups come from” when owners call years later with a question, Gilbeau explained.
Dawin Hearts on Fire, the standard poodle called Flame that won the non-sporting group Monday, was named partly for mom Dawin Spitfire and partly for being born on Valentine’s Day 2011. Toy group winner Hallmark Jolei Rocket Power — Rocket to his friends — got the “Power” from dad Hallmark Jolei Austin Powers and the “Rocket” from his own abundant energy, handlers said.
Generations of Linda Albert’s chow chows have “man” in their names, including 2010 Westminster chow chow breed winner E-Lin Traveling Man (his owners both worked for a travel agency), says Albert, of Hauppauge, New York.
Former fashion buyer Justine Romano names all her cotons de Tulear for designers. One of them, Mi-Toi’s Burberry At Justincredible, won the breed as cotons debuted Monday at Westminster.

According to National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund website, traffic-relat-ed incidents were the second-leading cause of officer fatalities in 2014, with 49 - an 11 per-cent-increase over the 44 traffic-related deaths in 2013. Of these 49 officers, 35 were killed in automobile crashes, nine officers were struck and killed outside their vehicle and five offi-cers were killed in motorcycle crashes.
“From 2009 to 2014, there have been 70 Highway Patrol vehicles struck while troop-ers worked with pedestrians,” Pegher stated.
Since January of 2004, Officer Down
Memorial Page reports traffic-related inci-dents have taken the lives of over 150 law enforcement officers. In addition, there were 16 K-9 officers struck and killed by a vehicle while on their watch.
The roadways are just as treacherous for tow truck drivers. Local director of a statewide tow truck drivers association and the owner of Bald Eagle Towing in Naples, Florida Bud Gruber said he was concerned about drivers not slowing down at accident scenes.
“In 2013 we had 52 tow truck drivers through-out the country involved in fatalities while they were on the side of the road working,” he said.
According to a 2014 report, “U.S.
Firefighters Killed when Struck by Vehicles, 2000-2013”, from the Fire Analysis and Research Division of the National Fire Protection Association, 45 U.S. firefighters were killed from 2000-2013 when struck by non-fire department vehicles.
Some of the “struck by” deaths occurred under extenuating circumstances such as poor weather and/or road conditions, emergency vehicles had no oscillating lights turned on and no reflective safety gear was worn by the fire-fighter. Other “struck by” deaths were attribut-ed to drivers not seeing oscillating emergency lights due to impairment or distraction, weav-ing through or around stopped traffic at crash
sites as firefighters directed traffic and deliber-ately running firefighters over, to name a few.
Ohio’s Move Over law applies to all inter-state and state highways and can be enforced by any law enforcement officer including state highway patrol officers, local police and county sheriff’s deputies.
Penalties for non-compliance includes doubled fines; first-time violators are imposed a $300 fine, second-time offenders within a year of receiving their first violation will pay $500 in fines and drivers with more than two violations in a year will be fined $1,000.

Smith and council members reviewed projected construction costs to run utilities to all the proper-ties in that area.
“We would have to bore under the road to ser-vice properties across the street,” Smith said. “We will make a decision of how to assess the property
owners.”Smith and council members discussed decreas-
ing the costs of the project by excavating in the right of way next to the road verses digging up asphalt.
Smith contacted Columbus Grove on the cost of utilizing their camera to video record sewer pipes in the village.
“It will cost $125 per working hour and $60 for travel time to do the work and identify the issue,” Smith said. “We’ll see how the weather is and then approve eight hours of camera time. We’ll do basin cleaning at the same time.”
The next village council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on March 17 in the library.
