Goodbye ‘JoePa’BY GENARO C. ARMAS
Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.(AP) — Other than family,football was everything to JoePaterno. It was his lifeblood. Itkept him pumped.Life could not be same
without it.“Right now, I’m not the
coach. And I’ve got to get usedto that,” Paterno said after thePenn State Board of Trusteesfired him at the height of achild sex abuse scandal.Before he could, he ran out
of time.Paterno, a sainted figure at
Penn State for almost half acentury but scarred forever bythe scandal involving his one-time heir apparent, died Sun-
day at age 85.His death came just 65
days after his son Scott saidhis father had been diagnosedwith lung cancer. Mount Nit-tany Medical Center con-firmed that was the cause ofdeath, at 9:25 a.m.Friends and former col-
leagues believe there wereother factors — the kind thatwouldn’t appear on a deathcertificate.“You can die of heartbreak.
I’m sure Joe had some heart-break, too,” said 82-year-oldBobby Bowden, the formerFlorida State coach who re-tired two years ago after 34seasons in Tallahassee.Longtime Nebraska coach

Healthoverhaullags instates
WASHINGTON (AP) —Here’s a reality check forPresident Barack Obama’shealth overhaul: Three out offour uninsured Americans livein states that have yet to fig-ure out how to deliver on itspromise of affordable medicalcare.This is the year that will
make or break the health carelaw. States were supposed tobe partners in carrying outthe biggest safety net expan-sion since Medicare and Med-icaid, and the White Houseclaims they’re making steadyprogress.But an analysis by The As-
sociated Press shows thatstates are moving in fits andstarts. Combined with new in-surance coverage estimatesfrom the nonpartisan UrbanInstitute, it reveals a patch-work nation.Such uneven progress
could have real consequences.If it continues, it will mean
disparities and delays fromstate to state in carrying outan immense expansion ofhealth insurance scheduled inthe law for 2014. That couldhappen even if the SupremeCourt upholds Obama’s law,called the Patient Protectionand Affordable Care Act.“There will be something
there, but if it doesn’t meshwith the state’s culture and ifthe state is not really sup-porting it, that certainly won’thelp it succeed,” said UrbanInstitute senior researcherMatthew Buettgens.The 13 states that have
adopted a plan are home to
Snow, ice hit county,rain expected today
BY JENNIFER [email protected]
The second round of wintry weathercaused headaches for drivers over the week-end. Sidney Fire and Emergency Services re-sponded to at least three accidents and therewere at least four other accidents around thecounty.Sleet began falling on Friday shortly after
4 p.m. and by Saturday morning there wereat least a couple of inches of snow coveringthe area.“We were back out Friday night and Sat-
urday,” said Shelby County Engineer BobGeuy. “There were still some areas that thesnow blew back across the roadway but weweren’t called back in to address that yet.”With the ever changing weather the
County Engineer’s Office may be looking fromtheir snow plows to high water signs.“With the ground being froze and snow on
the ground, we’ll be discussing the possibilityof localized flooding,” said Geuy.Fog settled in on Sunday afternoon before
the expected rain showers arrived. Today rainshowers are likely during the day with aslight chance of rain and snow showers after4 p.m. Some thunder is possible during theshowers. The high is expected to reach 45 butgrow colder throughout the day.Winds are ex-pected to be between 20 and 29 mph. There islittle or no snow accumulation expected.Tonight will be mostly cloudy with a low of 26and continued winds between 13 and 20 mph.Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to bedry with the next chance of showers comingon Thursday.

Ohio leader seekscollege benchmarksCLEVELAND (AP) — The over-
seer of Ohio’s higher education sys-tem is proposing that students shouldget a career-readiness certificate afterone year of college and an associate’sdegree after two years, even if they’reworking toward a four-year degree.Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor
Jim Petro says recognizing thosebenchmarks could be a way to moti-vate students to finish college andhelp them if they leave school to get ajob instead.The Plain Dealer in Cleveland re-
ports Petro’s priorities include retain-ing more students and helping moreto graduate.Petro recently told the board he
wants to implement a number of pro-grams this year, even if university of-ficials are opposed.He says he’ll start with pilot pro-
grams at Central State Universityand Shawnee State University, whichhave low graduation rates.

PORT CLINTON,Ohio (AP) — The debateover a nuclear plantwhere small cracks werediscovered in a concreteshell is revealing anothersplit between twoDemoc-rats who are veteranmembers of Congress andopponents in the March 6primary.It’s one of the first no-
ticeable divides to surfacein the race since Ohio’snew congressional maplumpedReps.MarcyKap-tur and Dennis Kucinichinto the same northernOhio district thatstretches from Clevelandto Toledo.Kucinich, who’s long
been a critic of nuclearpower, is calling for shut-ting down the Davis-Besse nuclear plant ifmajor repairs aren’tmade.Kaptur thinks the
plant along Lake Erieneeds to be closely moni-tored, but says closing itwould be devastating tothe area’s economy andsend electricity ratessoaring.“Decisions affecting
the plant and its safe op-eration must be based onevidence, not emotion,”she told federal regula-tors at a meeting twoweeks ago.The U.S. Nuclear Reg-
ulatory Commission al-lowed the plant to beginproducing electricityagain in early December,about two months afterthe first cracks werefound, saying tests havenot given inspectors anyreason to keep the plantshut down.
GOP senatorsreturn to workWASHINGTON (AP)
— President BarackObama’s appointments totwo key agencies duringthe Senate’s year-endbreak ensures that GOPsenators will return toworkMonday in an angryand fighting mood.Less clear is what
those furious Republicanswill do to retaliate againstObama’s “bring it on” endrun around the Senate’srole in confirming nomi-nees to major jobs.While Republicans
contemplate their nextstep, recess appointeeRichard Cordray is run-ning a new Consumer Fi-nancial ProtectionBureau, and the NationalLabor Relations Board,with three temporarymembers, is now at fullstrength with a Demo-cratic majority.Obama left more
than70 other nominees inlimbo, well aware thatRepublicans could useSenate rules to blocksome or all of them.The White House jus-
tified the appointmentson grounds that Republi-cans were holding up thenominations to paralyzethe two agencies. Theconsumer protectionagency was establishedunder the 2010 WallStreet reform law, whichrequires the bureau tohave a director in order to
begin policing financialproducts such as mort-gages, checking accounts,credit cards and paydayloans.The Supreme Court
has ruled that the five-member NLRB musthave a three-memberquorum to issue regula-tions or decide majorcases in union-employerdisputes.Several agencies con-
tacted by The AssociatedPress, including bankingregulators, said they wereconducting their normalbusiness despite vacan-cies at the top. In somecases, nominees are serv-ing in acting capacities.The Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp., at fullstrength, has five boardmembers. The regulationof failed banks “is unaf-fected,” said spokesmanAndrewGray. “The three-member board has beenable to make decisionswithout a problem.” Cor-dray’s appointment givesit a fourth member.The Comptroller of the
Currency, run by an act-ing chief, has kept up itsregular examinations ofbanks.The Federal TradeCommission, operatingwith four board membersinstead of five, has had nodifficulties. “This agencyis not a partisan combatagency,” said spokesmanPeter Kaplan.

only 1 in 4 of the uninsured.An additional 17 states aremaking headway, but it’s notclear all will succeed. The 20states lagging behind accountfor the biggest share of theuninsured, 42 percent.Among the lagging states
are four with arguably themost to gain. Texas, Florida,Georgia and Ohio togetherwould add more than 7millionpeople to the insurance rolls,according to Urban Instituteestimates, reducing the an-nual burden of charity care by$10.7 billion.“It’s not that we want some-
thing for free, but we wantsomething we can afford,” saidVicki McCuistion of Drift-wood, Texas, who works twopart-time jobs and is unin-sured. With the nation’s high-est uninsured rate, her statehas made little progress.The Obama administration
says McCuistion and others inthe same predicament havenothing to fear. “The fact ofstates moving at differentrates does not create dispari-ties for a particular state’suninsured population,” saidSteve Larsen, director of theCenter for Consumer Informa-tion and Insurance Oversightat the federal Department ofHealth and Human Services.That’s because the law says
that if a state isn’t ready, thefederal government will stepin. Larsen insists the govern-ment will be ready, but it’s notas easy as handing out insur-ance cards.Someone has to set up
health insurance exchanges,new one-stop supermarketswith online and landline capa-bilities for those who buy cov-erage individually.A secure infrastructure
must be created to verify in-come, legal residency andother personal information,and smooth enrollment in pri-vate insurance plans or Medi-
caid. Many middle-classhouseholds will be eligible fortax credits to help pay premi-ums for private coverage. Sep-arate exchanges must becreated for small businesses.“It’s a very heavy lift,” said
California’s health secretary,Diana Dooley, whose state wasone of the first to approve aplan. “Coverage is certainlyimportant, but it’s not the onlypart. It is very complex.”California has nearly 7.5
million residents without cov-erage, more than half of the12.7 million uninsured in thestates with a plan. An esti-
mated 2.9 million Californianswould gain coverage, accord-ing to the Urban Institute’s re-search, funded by thenonpartisan Robert WoodJohnson Foundation.Democrats who wrote the
overhaul law had hoped thatmost states would be willingpartners, putting aside parti-san differences to build the ex-changes and help cover morethan 30 million uninsured na-tionally. It’s not turning outthat way.Some states, mainly those
led by Democrats, are faralong. Others, usually led byRepublicans, have done little.Separately, about half thestates are suing to overturnthe law.Time is running out for
states, which must have theirplans ready for a federal ap-proval deadline of Jan. 1,2013. Those not ready risktriggering the default require-ment that Washington runtheir exchange.Yet in states where Repub-
lican repudiation of the healthcare law has blocked ex-changes, there’s little incen-tive to advance before theSupreme Court rules. A deci-sion is expected this summer,and many state legislaturesaren’t scheduled to meet pastlate spring.
Ohio lagging in planningWASHINGTON (AP) —AnAssociated Press analysis of
states’ progress in planning for coverage under the federalhealth care overhaul shows Ohio is among 20 states lag-ging behind.The uneven progress could have consequences, includ-
ing disparities and delays among states in carrying out anexpansion of health insurance.Thirteen states have adopted a plan. Seventeen more
states are making headway, but it’s not clear all will suc-ceed. The 20 states lagging behind account for the biggestshare of the uninsured — 42 percent.Those lagging states include four with arguably the
most to gain: Ohio, Texas, Florida and Georgia. The non-partisan Urban Institute estimates those states togetherwould add more than 7 million people to the insurancerolls, reducing the annual burden of charity care by $10.7billion.

Giffords to resignWASHINGTON (AP) —
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Ari-zona announced Sunday she in-tends to resign from Congressthis week to concentrate on re-covering from wounds sufferedin an assassination attempt alittle more than a year ago thatshook the country.“I don’t remember much
from that horrible day, but Iwill never forget the trust youplaced in me to be your voice,”the Democratic lawmaker saidon a video posted without priornotice on her Facebook page.“I’m getting better. Every
daymy spirit is high,” she said.“I have more work to do on myrecovery. So to do what’s bestfor Arizona, I will step downthis week.”Giffords was shot in the
head and grievously woundedlast January as she was meet-ing with constituents outside asupermarket in Tucson, Ariz.Her progress had seemed re-markable, to the point that shewas able to walk dramaticallyinto the House chamber lastAugust to cast a vote.Her shooting prompted an
agonizing national debateabout super-charged rhetoric inpolitical campaigns, althoughthe man charged in the shoot-ing later turned out to be men-tally ill.
In Washington, members ofCongress were told to paymoreattention to their physical se-curity. Legislation was intro-duced to ban high-capacityammunition clips, although itnever advanced.Under state law, Arizona
Gov. Jan Brewer must call aspecial election to fill out the re-mainder of Giffords’ term,which ends at the end of 2012.President Barack Obama on
Sunday called Giffords “thevery best of what public serviceshould be.”“Gabby’s cheerful presence
will be missed in Washington,”Obama said. “But she will re-main an inspiration to allwhose lives she touched—my-self included.And I’m confidentthat we haven’t seen the last ofthis extraordinary American.”House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, said hesalutedGiffords “for her serviceand for the courage and perse-verance she has shown in theface of tragedy. She will bemissed.”In a statement, House Dem-
ocratic leader Nancy Pelosi ofCalifornia said that “since thetragic events one year ago,Gabby has been an inspiringsymbol of determination andcourage to millions of Ameri-cans.”
Romney to release taxesWASHINGTON (AP)—NewtGingrich
worked to capitalize Sunday on his upsetvictory in South Carolina’s Republicanpresidential primary, while Mitt Romneymoved quickly to cut his losses before thenext contest with a promise to release hisincome tax returns within 48 hours.Gingrich said in a round of television in-
terviews that his win, both unexpectedand unexpectedly large, showed he wasthe Republican best able to go toe to toewith President Barack Obama in the fall.“I think virtually everybody who looks atthe campaign knows I represent thelargest amount of change of any candidate,and I think that’s why they see me as rep-resenting their interest and their concerns,not representingWall Street or represent-ing the politicians ofWashington,” he said.Romney argued that point, but not an-
other, agreeing in a television interview
that he hadmade amistake by refusing torelease his tax returns before the SouthCarolina vote. “If it was a distraction, wewant to get back to the real issues in thecampaign— leadership, character and vi-sion for America, how to get jobs in Amer-ica, and how to rein in the excessive scaleof the federal government,” he said.The former Massachusetts governor,
whomademillions in business, said hewillmake his 2010 return and an estimate for2011 available online on Tuesday.The decision marked a concession, as if
one were needed, that Romney had stum-bled on his way through South Carolina, astate where he led handsomely in the pollsseveral days before the primary.Florida votes next, on Jan. 31, a 50-del-
egate contest in one of the most expensivecampaign states in the country, and onethat Romney can ill afford to lose.
The former governor was an easy win-ner in theNewHampshire primary earlierin the month. Before that, he was a closerunner-up behind former PennsylvaniaSen. Rick Santorum in Iowa caucuseswhere the vote count was so confused thathe was originally announced the victor.Despite his loss on Saturday, Romney
remains the contender with the largestand best-funded organization. “Threestates in now, we got 47 more to go,” hesaid, adding he was looking forward to therest.For all the political momentum gained
in South Carolina, Gingrich made it im-mediately obvious that he is short onfunds.He urged supporters viaTweet Sat-urday night to donatemoney, and then an-nounced the name of his campaignwebsitewhile making a nationally televised vic-tory speech.
Croatia says ‘yes’ to EU membershipZAGREB, Croatia (AP) —
Croatians voted Sunday infavor of joining the EuropeanUnion despite a poor turnoutfor the referendum — a signof how much the debt-stricken 27-nation bloc haslost its appeal within coun-tries aspiring to join.Croatia’s state referendum
commission said that with
nearly all ballots counted,about 66 percent of those whotook part in the referendumanswered “yes” to the ques-tion: “Do you support themembership of the Republicof Croatia in the EuropeanUnion?”About 33 percent were
against, while the rest of theballots were invalid. About 47
percent of eligible voters tookpart in the referendum, illus-trating voters’ apathy towardthe EU. That compares to 84percent who voted in a refer-endum for Croatia’s inde-pendence from the formerYugoslavia in 1992.“The people are obviously
tired,” Prime Minister ZoranMilanovic said. “It would
have been better that theturnout was larger, but that’sreality.”It was among the lowest
turnouts in any of the EUstates that have held acces-sion referendums before theyjoined. Nearly 46 percenttook part in the vote in Hun-gary, while more than 90 per-cent voted in Malta.

Lehman Catholic hasbeen awarded the Gov-ernor’s Thomas EdisonAward for Excellence inSTEM Education.It is the 22nd consec-
utive year that theschool has earned theaward. Presented by theOhio Academy of Sci-ence, Lehman Catholicwas one of 48 Ohio highschools to receive theaward this year. Ohiohas 1,017 state-char-tered public and non-public high schools.Technology has forced
educators to focus moreattention on disciplinesthat prepare studentsfor the future and theworld that they aregoing to inherit.Because technology is
advancing at an expo-nential rate, the need formore students to becomeproficient in science,technology, engineeringand mathematics is be-coming an importantgoal for the Americaneducational system. Thefour disciplines, knownas STEM, and the in-creasing push to havethese content areas ad-dressed more criticallyis becoming a very im-portant initiative on theAmerican educationallandscape, LehmanCatholic High School of-ficials said.“Lehman offers a
wide range of coursescovering all aspects ofscience from basiccourses to AdvancedPlacement classes,” saidSister Ginny Scherer,chairwoman of the de-partment. “Our philoso-phy is to preparestudents not just to beknowledgeable but todevelop skills for criticalthinking. While knowl-edge of information isimportant,today’s worldneeds problem solvers.”Lehman offers inte-
grated science, environ-mental science, biology,advanced placement(AP) biology, anatomy,
chemistry, AP chemistryand physics.Students can receive
dual enrollment (collegeand high school) creditfor chemistry, AP chem-istry, and physicsthrough Wright StateUniversity or EdisonCommunity College.In addition to class-
room learning, Lehmanoffers a number of sci-ence extracurricular ac-tivities, clubs andcompetitive teams de-signed to match stu-dents’ interests.Participation in the
annual science fair is re-quired for some classesand optional in others.Many Lehman stu-
dents who participate inthe school’s science fairand receive superior rat-ings advance to districtand state competition.Several Lehman stu-
dents have had the op-portunity to advance tothe international sciencefair.The Lehman Science
Olympiad Team is a reg-ular participant at theregional and state tour-naments. Last year was
the seventh consecutiveyear that the team qual-ified for the state tour-nament. Lehman isalways one of the small-est schools of the 40teams across the state ofOhio to compete in theState Science Olympiadevent.For several years,
Lehman science stu-dents have participatedin the Ohio Energy Proj-ect, where high schoolstudents teach elemen-tary school studentsabout the types of en-ergy.They learn to use
hands-on projects totake the message of en-ergy conservation toyounger students.Lehman students also
participate in TEAMS(Test of Engineering Ap-titude, Mathematics andScience). In addition, the
school fields an Envi-rothon Team.“Many of our students
pursue college majorsthat relate to science,engineering or medi-cine,” said Scherer. “It isalways gratifying whenthey return and say howwell prepared they werefor college work in everyarea of science.”Science faculty at
Lehman includesScherer, Tracy Hall andRuth Baker.More than a hundred
volunteers from thecommunity assist withthe school’s science pro-gram by coaching stu-dents in variouscompetitive events andjudging the annual sci-ence fair. Those inter-ested in volunteering tohelp are encouraged tocontact Scherer at theschool.

Insurance Departmentgives tips to boomers
COLUMBUS —Many baby boomers maybe considering the ideaof early retirement in2012. For some, a life-time of working couldmean a good pensionand benefits, but morecompanies are changingtheir retirement bene-fits, leaving boomers tofind alternative healthinsurance.
Department of Insur-ance Director and Lt.Gov. Mary Taylor en-courages boomers to uti-lize resources designedto help them understandcoverage options beforeMedicare eligibility be-gins at age 65.
“Before reaching re-tirement, talk to youremployer as well as yourinsurance agent and geta sense of what optionsare available,” Taylorsaid. “Planning aheadwill help you find thebest coverage optionmaking the transitioninto retirement easierand less stressful.”
If an employer is notoffering to extend healthinsurance coverage be-yond the boomer’s retire-ment date, Taylor saidthe following optionsshould be considered:
• Spouse’s policy: Ifyour spouse is still em-ployed and has access tobenefits, see if you can beadded to the policy. Thisis likely your most af-fordable option.
• COBRA: The Con-solidated OmnibusBudget ReconciliationAct (COBRA) lets formeremployees and their de-pendents continue cover-age up to 18 months.While your employercannot refuse coveragethrough COBRA, it isunlikely that they will
continue to subsidize thepremium.They may alsocharge an administra-tive fee.
• Military: If you area retired military vet-eran, you may be eligibleto join the Defense De-partment’s Tricare plan.You can learn who is eli-gible for TriCare cover-age at www.tricare.mil.
• Individual coverage:Because these plans canbe complicated, utilizeyour insurance agent tofind the right policy.Make sure to ask if vi-sion, hearing and dentalcoverage are included orif it is possible to addthem.
• Ohio High Risk Pooland open enrollment: Ahigh risk pool was cre-ated in Ohio to helpadults with pre-existingconditions find individ-ual coverage. To be eligi-ble for this subsidizedcoverage, certain qualifi-cations must be met.Visit www.ohiohigh-riskpool.com for more in-formation. Participatingopen enrollment insur-ers are required to offercoverage on a first-come,first-serve basis at a lim-ited cost to people whoapply . Also, certain re-quirements must be met.Information is availableat the website www.in-surance.ohio.gov.
• High deductiblehealth plans (HDHP):These plans cover onlycatastrophic health carecosts. This means youwill be responsible forpaying more of the up-front cost before the pol-icy pays for eligiblemedical expenses.HDHPs have a lowerpremium to compensatefor the higher out-of-pocket costs incurred
with these high de-ductibles. Often HDHPswork with a health sav-ings account (HSA) thatallows you to set asidefunds for future quali-fied medical expenses.
Taylor said it is criti-cal to understand theterms and coverage ofthe different policy op-tions and to keep inmind that the lowestpremium option may notprovide the coverage youneed for your health sta-tus. It is also importantto have the followingquestions answeredwhen comparing cover-age:
• What are the de-ductibles or coinsurancepayments?
• What are the limitson coverage?
• Can I see my cur-rent doctor or seek treat-ment in the samehospitals?
• Is there an annuallimit to what the insur-ance company will payfor any particular cover-age?
• Is there a cap on theout-of-pocket amounts Ihave to pay?
• How often will mypolicy be reviewed orhow often can I expect apremium change?
• Are prescriptiondrugs covered?
Boomers with healthinsurance questions cancall the department’sconsumer hotline at(800) 686-1526. Ohioansseeking informationabout Medicare shouldcall the department’sOhio Senior Health In-surance InformationProgram (OSHIP) at(800) 686-1578.

Removing wax dropsfrom precious table topD e a r
Heloise: Howdo you removecandle drip-pings from yourprecious woodtabletop? —Rachel, viaemail
Great ques-tion! The firsthint is: verycarefully! Youcan removewax by scrap-ing it off with a creditcard or other plasticscraper. Don’t use any-thing metal, and goslowly so you do notgouge the wood.
Once the wax is re-moved, you may stillhave a stain left. If thisoccurs, try using a goodcommercial woodcleaner — not wood pol-ish — to clean the area.You can find it at ahome - improvemen tstore.
Going with the grainof the wood, apply asmall amount of cleanerand let it sit for aboutfive minutes. Then gen-tly buff with a small, drycloth. You may need torepeat.
If the wood cleanerdoes not remove thestain, the best solutionmay be to refinish yourtable. Hope this helps!— Heloise
FAST FACTSDear Read-
ers: Other usesfor plastic in-serts from pizzaboxes:
• Use to aer-ate a plant.
• Use as aring holder by abathroom sink.
• Pierce a po-tato with onewhen cookingthe potato in a
microwave.• Place several of

• Use upside down asa taco stand.
— HeloiseCOFFEE CREAMERDear Readers: Here is
my favorite hint for howto make my “low-fat” cof-fee creamer. Just mix alittle bit of skim milk(about 1/2 cup) and somepowdered milk in a con-tainer (I use a jar with alid) and shake well.Then, to make it extraspecial, I add a dash ofcinnamon, cocoa powderor vanilla. Low-fat andlow calories! — Heloise
EASY SEEDear Heloise: We
have a house with abasement, and it’s greatfor storage. The oneissue we have is that I
have to be very carefulwhen going down thestairs so I don’t fall. Tosolve this dilemma, myhusband painted everyother step with someyellow/greenish fluores-cent paint. Now I see thesteps more easily, and Ihaven’t missed a step! —Abigail in Illinois
RING BLINGDear Heloise: I work
at a veterinary clinicand do not want to wearmy wedding ring atwork because I amafraid I will mess it up.But I felt awkward notwearing a ring. Manylarge retail stores carry“fake” rings that looklike wedding rings. Ibought one and nowwear that on a dailybasis. I get the look ofmy wedding ring with-out having to worryabout ruining it. —Amanda in Texas
SOUND OFFDear Heloise: It’s bad
enough to call a com-pany and be put on hold,but my pet peeve iswhen you start gettingmessages about howthere is a higher-than-normal call volume (nomatter the time of day),and how you should callback later or visit thewebsite and perhaps youcan help yourself. — AReader, via email

Shelby Soil & WaterConservation District
Trees were the basisfor much life when thefirst settlers arrived inNorth America. Fromhouses and furniture tofences and bridges, woodwas everywhere. Inmany places, wood pro-vided most, if not all, ofthe fuel for cooking andheating homes. As smallindustries began, woodand charcoal were thefuels that smelted theore, fired the glass fur-nace, and stoked theblacksmith’s forge.Along the eastern
seaboard, pioneers wereastonished at the size andextent of the trees andforests. To them, theforests seemed to runfrom the water’s edge tothe mountaintops. Theforests looked like an end-less supply of valuablewood. In many places, thechallenge facing the new-comers was too manytrees, and the woods rangwith the sound of the axas dense forests were cutand replaced by farmfields and pastures.But the supply of
trees was not infinite.As
populations grew andcities and farms ex-panded, maintaining asteady supply of woodbecame more and moredifficult. By the CivilWar, many communitieswere hard-pressed to ob-tain wood. Many for-merly forested regionswere desolate, and un-controlled wildfires reg-ularly swept across theland due to the build upof old trees, limbs, leavesand other plant mate-rial. By 1875 public con-cern was growing andthe first national citi-zens’ conservation or-ganization, theAmerican Forestry Asso-ciation, began workingfor improved conserva-tion of trees and forests.That conservation
movement grew steadilythroughout the 20th cen-tury, with many more or-
ganizations helpingachieve the creation ofparks, the establishmentof national and stateforests, and the growth ofconservation programsto help private landown-ers manage forests.Trees became critical tothe soil and water con-servation programsaimed at ending theDust Bowl of the 1930s.Conservationists plantedtrees to protect hillsidesand stream banks fromerosion; bare fields weresheltered by windbreaks;and great gullies werestabilized by thousandsof saplings.The mandateto “till and keep” forestsbecame one to “manageand protect.”Today, it is clear that
the effort to improve themanagement and con-servation of trees andforests must continue. Inmost situations, theknowledge for conserv-ing and managing treesand forests is available.What is needed is thewillingness of people todo what is necessary. En-couraging people to actresponsibly is a task formany sectors — organi-zations like conservationdistricts that work at thelocal level to promote
conservation and schoolsthat assist in teachingour youngsters the eco-logical concepts, valuesand skills needed to be-come responsible adults.(Partial informationcourtesy of the NationalAssn. of ConservationDistricts.)In an ongoing effort to
provide high quality treeseedlings at a modestcost, the Shelby Soil &Water Conservation Dis-trict is currently takingorders for hardwoods,conifers, and small treesand shrubs for wildlifehabitat. Hardwoodspecies include WhiteOak, Red Oak,ThornlessHoney Locust, SugarMaple, Red Maple, TulipPoplar and River Birch.The following coniferspecies are available:Norway Spruce, BlueSpruce, Black HillsSpruce, White Pine,Scotch Pine, AmericanArborvitae and Bald Cy-press.

The benefits of trees Ag-LINK applicationsnow being acceptedCOLUMBUS — Ohio
Treasurer Josh Mandelannounced the 2012Agricultural Linked De-posit Program (Ag-LINK) applicationperiod has begun andwill end March 9 at 5p.m. This will mark the27th year that the trea-surer’s linked depositprogram has assistedOhio farmers.“We are pleased to
announce the opening ofthe 2012 Ag-LINK pro-gram application pe-riod, and encourageOhio farmers to partici-pate. This program al-lows Ohio’s agriculturalcommunity to receivean interest rate reduc-tion on loans and linesof credit so they canstart the season off onstrong financial foot-ing,” said Mandel.“Through the Ag-LINKprogram, the Ohio Trea-surer’s office helpsfarmers receive a re-duced rate on theirloans, allowing them toinvest in much neededsupplies like feed, seed,fertilizer and fuel thatare crucial to a success-ful harvest.”This will be the first
year the entire Ag-LINK program applica-tion will be completedonline. The applicationprocess has been simpli-fied and streamlined inorder to take advantageof technology to admin-ister the program andmake it more user-friendly for applicants.In order to qualify for
Ag-LINK, farms must
be for-profit with theirheadquarters and morethan half of their opera-tions maintained inOhio. To qualify, thefarmer must apply andbe approved for an oper-ating loan or line ofcredit from a farmcredit lender or an eligi-ble bank. After ap-proval, the farmer mayapply for an interestrate reduction from theOhio Treasury’s Ag-LINK program.Applications must be
received by the trea-surer’s office no laterthan March 9 at 5 p.m.Ohio’s agriculture in-
dustry employs one inseven Ohioans andpumps $98 billion intothe state’s economyeach year. In 2011, 843farmers in 67 countieswere awarded $68.9million in Ag-LINKfunds across the state,and the average ap-proved loan amountedto $72,000. Recipientsrepresented a wide vari-ety of businesses withinthe farming community,including but not lim-ited to traditional farm-ers and owners oflivestock, orchards andnurseries.Detailed information
on the program and eli-gibility requirementscan be found by visitingthe state treasurer’swebsite atwww.ohiotreasurer.gov/aglink or by calling thestate treasurer’s Eco-nomic Development De-partment at (800)228-1102 (Option No.3).
COLUMBUS— Satu-rated field conditionslast fall and early thiswinter have made it dif-ficult for livestock pro-ducers in Ohio and theMidwest to apply ma-nure. As a result, mostfarmers are beginning torun out of manure stor-age room right now.With colder weather
in the forecast, applyingexcess manure on frozenground is likely to be theonly way producers willbe able to get rid of it, ac-cording to Ohio StateUniversity Extension ex-perts. But, they cau-tioned, producers needto be diligent about fol-lowing proper applica-tion methods tominimize impact onwater quality and maxi-mize absorption in thesoil for optimal fertility.“Now is not the time
to shirk on proper appli-cation methods,”Amanda Meddles, OSUExtension program coor-dinator for environmen-tal management, wrotein the university’s CropObservation and Recom-mendation Network(C.O.R.N.) newsletter.“Constant changes inweather are typical ofwinters in Ohio andneighboring states,which increases the po-tential for manure tomove with surface run-off. Run-off can lead topolluting water re-sources, includingstreams, waterways andwells. This not only im-pacts water quality, butthe nutrients are lostand not available for thenext year’s crop.”Meddles, along with
OSU Extension educa-tors Glen Arnold and JonRausch, reminded pro-ducers that winter ma-nure application shouldbe done only as a last re-sort— because the poten-tial for run-off increasessubstantially when ma-nure is spread in the win-ter months. And, theyinsisted, only enoughma-nure should be applied tofrozen or snow-coveredground to address storagelimitations.In Ohio, the following
are criteria that must be
met in order for produc-ers to begin spreadingmanure on frozen orsnow-covered fields:— Application rates
are limited to 10 wettons per acre for solidmanure with more than50 percent moisture, andfive wet tons for manurewith less than 50 per-cent moisture. For liquidmanure, the applicationrate is limited to 5,000gallons per acre.— Applications are to
be made on land with atleast 90 percent surfaceresidue cover, includinggood-quality hay or pas-ture field, all corn grainresidue remaining afterharvest, all wheatresidue cover remainingafter harvest, or a well-established cover crop.— Manure must not
be applied on more than20 contiguous acres; each20-acre block should beseparated by a break ofat least 200 feet.— Farmers should use
fields that are farthestfrom streams, ditches,waterways, surface inletsand other water sources,and which are the leastlikely to have manuremove in a concentratedflow toward and intowater resources.— The application
setback distance must beincreased to a minimumof 200 feet from environ-mentally sensitive areas
and areas of concen-trated flow, such asgrassed waterways, sur-faced drainage ditches,streams, surface inletsand water bodies.— For Ohio Depart-
ment of Agriculture-per-mitted facilities andcertified livestock man-agers (CLMs), setbacksshould be 300 feet fromwells and residences.— Manure applied on
frozen or snow-coveredground should not exceedthe nitrogen need of thenext growing crop; thecrop removal rate forP2O5 for the next crop(not to exceed 250 poundsper acre); or the crop K2Oneeds (not to exceed 500pounds per acre).— For fields with
slopes greater than 6percent, manure shouldbe applied in alternatingstrips 60- to 200-feetwide, generally on thecontour; or in the case ofcontour strips, on alter-nating strips at the ratesidentified above.More information on
winter manure applica-tion can be obtainedthrough local Soil andWater Conservation Dis-trict, Natural ResourcesConservation Service,and OSU Extension of-fices. Additional re-sources regardingmanure managementare available athttp://oema.osu.edu.

Son plays poker with friendsDR. WAL-
LACE: My 17-year-old son is agood student, avery good ath-lete and I lovehim dearly. I’m adivorced mother,and I do my verybest to see thatmy 15-year-olddaughter andmy son are goodpeople. So far, sogood. However, there isone area in which I doneed some advice.Lately, Texas Hold ‘empoker has been a big hiton TV. My son and hisfriends watched it, andnow they have formedtheir own poker club.They all take turns host-ing the weekly event(Saturday night) andsupplying the snacks.It’s good that my son andhis friends get togetherevery week. Their par-ents supervise them, so Iknow where he is andthat he is safe. The boysdo play for money, butonly limited smallamounts.
My mother lives with
us and is ap-palled that Iallow my son togamble. As aparent, am Ibeing foolishwhen permit-ting my son toplay Texas Hold‘em? When it’sat our house,the boys seem tohave a goodtime, and they
are not doing drugs ordrinking alcohol. Pleasegive me your opinion. —Mom, Hackensack, N.J.
MOM: Poker has be-come a popular pastimedue to the exposure it re-ceives on TV sportschannels. I guess thesechannels consider pokerto be an athletic event.When played regularly,poker can become habit-forming and eventually,addictive. It’s commend-able that the boys are“supervised” by parents,and yes, I would ratherthat my son plays in the“Texas Hold ‘em pokergroup” than indulge intaking drugs or consum-ing alcohol. However, I
would prefer that heplay in a three-man bas-ketball league, go bowl-ing or just hang outtalking sports withfriends.
An occasional game ofpenny-ante poker proba-bly won’t turn the play-ers into addictedgamblers. But thosewhose lives have beendramatically altered bygambling abuse had toget started somewhere.If you don’t gamble, youwill never need the helpof Gamblers Anony-mous!
DR. WALLACE: Mygirlfriend and I broke up.It was a mutual decision,but I am really de-pressed. I miss her verymuch. I know I will getover her in time, but I’msuffering right now. Myex-girlfriend is just theopposite. She doesn’t ap-pear depressed and is al-ready dating anotherguy. Is this a sign that Icared more for her thanshe cared for me? I reallyloved her, and I thoughtthat she loved me. —
Nameless, Ada, Okla.N A M E L E S S :
Chances are good thatyour girlfriend cared foryou as much as youcared for her. Studiesshow that females tendto have better resourcesavailable to them forcoping with the breakupblues. They turn to fam-ily and friends, whereasguys trapped by “manly”pride tend to suppresstheir true feelings. Thisdoes cause the sufferingto linger for guys. Girlsgrieve over a ruined re-lationship, but then geton with their lives.

My son getsregular checkups everyfive years.
Personally, there’s nosalt on my table. I eatvery little processedfoods. Please set my sonstraight. — P.
ANSWER: Most doc-tors for most of the recentpast have told their pa-tients to go easy on salt.Official medical advisory
committees com-posed of the mostknowledgeablescientists — TheAmerican HeartAssociation is oneexample — haveand still do rec-ommend that ourintake of salt,sodium, should belimited to 1,500mg a day. In someinstances, an in-take of 2,300 mgis permitted. This
is far lower than ourpresent salt use.
Most of our dietarysalt comes fromprocessed foods likepizza, meats such ascorned beef (500 mg ofsodium in two ounces),hot dogs (more than 500mg of sodium in one hotdog), commercial soups,frozen dinners, breakfast
cereals, some breads andbaked goods. People haveto become readers of thenutrition labels put on allfoods.
Reducing the intake ofsodium lowers blood pres-sure and reduces thechances for a heart attackand stroke.
I have to add that afew voices have recentlybeen raised to championdiets with no limitationson the amount of salt.These researchers saythat low-salt diets are nothealthy. I am stickingwith the authorities whorecommend salt reduc-tion until the majority ofnutritional expertschange their minds. Idon’t think that’s going tohappen.
You sent a little itemon potassium.Potassium,unlike sodium, lowers
blood pressure.We’re toldto get 4,700mg of it a day.It’s found in baked pota-toes with skins, sweet po-tatoes, bananas, orangejuice, milk, kidney beans,cantaloupe, avocado andprunes. Salt substitutesare usually potassium.They can be used by mostpeople if they’re not tak-ing blood pressure drugslike ACE inhibitors andARBs, angiotensin-recep-tor blockers.
The booklet on sodiumand potassium discussesthese two minerals andtheir uses. To order acopy, write: Dr. Donohue— No. 202, Box 536475,Orlando, FL 32853-6475.Enclose a check or moneyorder (no cash) for $4.75U.S./$6 Can. with the re-cipient’s printed nameand address. Please allowfour weeks for delivery.
DEAR ABBY:I’m writing thisbecause I hopeyou will tell yourreaders to learnthe signs of astroke. I wish Ihad known.
I was visitingmy grandmaseven years ago.During dinnershe had a stroke.I knew some-thing was wrong,but wasn’t sure what itwas. My sister and Iasked her if she wantedto go to the hospital, butshe said no.We respectedher wishes and didn’t in-sist. We finally took hertwo days later.
Abby, my grand-mother never spokeagain. She spent her lastseven years aware ofwhat she wanted to say,but unable to say it. Theguilt I carry is hard tolive with.
Please tell your read-ers to make sure they
know the signs ofa stroke and to re-member thatwhile most peopledon’t want to go tothe hospital, thefirst three hoursafter a stroke areCRITICAL. If yoususpect that yourloved one is hav-ing a stroke, getthat person to ahospital FAST,even if they don’t
want to go! You can’t takeback the damage a strokecauses.
My grandmother isgone now and I miss herterribly.
She was a lovinggrandparent, and I hopeshe’ll forgive me. —MISSING HER INUTAH
DEAR MISSINGHER: What happened toyour grandmother wastragic, but you were nomore at fault than themillions of others whoare also unaware of the
signs of stroke. In yourgrandmother’s memory,I’ll describe them.
The most commonstroke symptoms are:sudden numbness orweakness of the face, armor leg — especially onone side of the body. Sud-den confusion, troublespeaking or understand-ing. Sudden trouble see-ing in one or both eyes.
Sudden trouble walk-ing, dizziness, loss of bal-ance or coordination.Sudden severe headachewith no known cause.
Other important butcommon symptoms in-clude: sudden nausea,fever and vomiting —distinguished from aviral illness by the speedof onset (minutes orhours versus severaldays). And brief loss ofconsciousness such asfainting or convulsions.
If you see or have anyof these symptoms, call911!
Every minute counts,
and treatment can bemore effective if it’s givenquickly.
DEAR ABBY: My 20-year-old goddaughter ispregnant. She is beauti-ful, smart and talented.Her boyfriend is wonder-ful to her and they arevery happy together. Myproblem is people whofrown on her happiness. Iam regularly asked if I’mdisappointed in her. Myresponse is usually: “It’sunexpected, but we willmake the best of it.
She and her boyfriendboth work and have agreat support networkand a huge family.”
I think it’s rude of peo-ple to assume that this isbad news. How do I re-spond to those who are sooblivious? — OF-FENDED AUNT INSCRANTON, PA.
DEAR OFFENDED:The way you are answer-ing them is appropriate,positive and polite. Youneed no help from me.
The next storm systemhas arrived, which is going tobe an interest-ing setup.Right nowit lookslike therewill bee n o u g hwarm airand lift inthe atmosphere to generatethunderstorms. The frontmoved through late Sundaynight and thunderstorms de-velop after midnight and willlast through the first part ofthis morning.

Answers from the color NIE pagePublisher Scramble: Festival of LanternsRonald Wants To Know: ancient, festival, lantern, dragon,firecrackers, Chinese
Dragons are of course leg-endary animals, but they areimportant to Chinese people whothink of dragons as helpful, friendlycreatures. They are linked to goodluck, long life and wisdom.They arenothing like the fierce, fire-breath-ing Western dragons that carry offprincesses and eat people.Chinese dragons are associatedwith storm clouds and life-givingrain. They have special powers sothey can fly in the air, swim in thesea and walk on land. The dragonhas features of other animals suchas the horns of a stag, the scalesof a fish and the footpads of a tiger.
Chasing the “Pearl of Wisdom”dragon dances are performed atNew Year to scare away evil spirits.During the dance the performershold poles and raise and lower thedragon. Sometimes one man has a'Pearl of Wisdom' on a pole and heentices the dragon to follow him tothe beat of a drum, as if searchingfor wisdom and knowledge.
Dragons used in dragon dancesvary in length from a few meters toup to 100m long. Longer dragonsare thought to be more lucky thanshorter ones. The dances can beperformed either during the day ornight, but at night a blazing torchwill be carried to light the way.

Josh Franklin’sFar Out Family Blog
Written bySteven Coburn-Griffis
Illustrated byIsaac Schumacher
Chapter One: Week OneHey, hello and welcome to Josh
Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog, spon-sored by Mr. Wooster’s third periodEnglish class. If you’re reading this,you’ve probably already figured outthat this is an English assignment.Yup.And here’s the thing. Mr. Woosterwants us to relate to our relations, tellthe untold stories about our familiesand learn to relate to them as we relatethem to you. That and learn a little bitabout writing in the process. Right Mr.W?
Okay. So here’s how this could go.See, I could tell you all kinds of juicylittle secrets, like how my sister wasstill wearing diapers until she wasnearly seven years old or how Dadsecretly watches The View or someother girly show when everybodythinks he’s watching ESPN. I couldeven tell you about how Mom used tobe a show girl in a casino in Las Vegasor how my brother used to jumpthrough burning rings of fire on amotorcycle. And some of those thingsmight even be true. But that’s just soboring. I mean, who cares? Am I rightor am I right? So, instead of tellingyou about how my Great Aunt Sophie(if I really had one, I mean) collectsdoll heads, I’ve decided to go backeven further and introduce you to myGreat-great-great-great Grandfatherand his brother, my Great-great-great-great Uncle. See, My family has allthese really old letters that UncleEthan wrote to GrandpaWilfred (yeah,I know, what a name, right?) duringthe CivilWar. The letters are all yellowand tattered and held together withtape. They’re so old that if you’re notreally careful, they’ll just fall apart.
So, even though I know about them,I’ve not been allowed to read most ofthem. But, unlike my mother, I’m will-ing to share.And that’s where this blogcomes in.
What I’m going to do is read oneletter for every blog I have to write andthen copy it down so that you can readit, too. And here’s the best part (forme, anyway). Mrs. Logsdon, the besthistory teacher who ever walked thehallowed halls of our high school, hasagreed to give me extra credit if I passalong some bits and pieces about theCivil War and how our home state ofOhio helped get the job done. To showher I mean business, I’m going to kickit off here and now. There were fivefamous Ohioans who fought in theCivil War who later became presidentsof these United States of America.They were Ulysses S. Grant,Rutherford B. Hayes, WilliamMcKinley, Benjamin Harrison andJames Garfield. But wait! There’s evenMORE! Everybody knows that Grantwas in charge of the Union army (youknew that, right?), but did you knowthat Rutherford B. Hayes and WilliamMcKinley both served in the same reg-iment, the 23rd Ohio? Hayes was ageneral, but McKinley was only a pri-vate. Absolutely true. And you read ithere first.
Okay, okay, okay. So this is kind oflike when they start selling soda pop orwhatever in the middle of your favoriteTV show. Not when they break foradvertisements, but, like, right in thevery middle of the show itself. I knowthat. I get it. But a guy’s gotta do whata guy’s gotta do. Am I right or am Iright? Anyway, this isn’t about me, solet’s just move on. Drum roll please.Here, in all of its original glory fromway back in 1862, is the very firstCivil War letter my Uncle wrote myGrandpa:
Wilf,I am off for a soldier. Tell Ma not to
worry.EthanBet you thought it was gonna be
really long. LOL.CHAPTER ONE: QUESTIONS
& ACTIVITIESJosh’s teacher wants his students to
‘relate to their relations’ as they com-plete their assignment. What do youthink that means? Write down a list ofsome of your memories and habits,such as first toy, how you get toschool, your favorite food. Then ask aparent and a grandparent or olderfriend to do the same. How are all ofyour responses the same? How arethey different? Why?
Mr. Wooster also wants his stu-dents to learn about writing. You canalready see a difference in Josh’s andEthan’s writing styles. Read an articlefrom the front page of your newspaper.Compare it to a chapter from yourfavorite fiction story. Why do youthink they are written in differentstyles? What does each author wantthe reader to take away from thepiece?
As Josh notes, Ulysses S. Grant,Rutherford B. Hayes and WilliamMcKinley were all active in the CivilWar and all became presidents of theUnited States. As you read the rest ofJosh’s blog, keep track of all theOhioans mentioned and what role theyplayed during Ethan’s time.
Sidney Daily News, Monday, January 23, 2012 Page 17
The Chinese NewYear has agreat history. In our past, peoplelived in an agricultural society andworked all year long. They onlytook a break after the harvest andbefore the planting of seeds. Thishappens to coincide with the begin-ning of the lunar NewYear.The Chinese NewYear is very
similar to the Western one, rich intraditions, folklores and rituals. Ithas been said that it is a combina-tion of the Western Thanksgiving,Christmas and NewYear. This ishardly an exaggeration!The origin of the Chinese New
Year itself is centuries old — in fact,too old to actually be traced. It ispopularly recognized as the SpringFestival and celebrations last 15days.Preparations tend to begin a
month before the date of theChinese NewYear (similar to aWestern Christmas). During thistime people start buying presents,decoration materials, food andclothing. A huge clean-up getsunderway days before the NewYear, when Chinese houses arecleaned from top to bottom. This rit-ual is supposed to sweep away alltraces of bad luck. Doors and win-dowpanes are often given a newcoat of paint, usually red, then dec-
orated with paper cuts and cou-plets with themes such as happi-ness, wealth and longevity printedon them.The eve of the NewYear is per-
haps the most exciting part of theholiday, due to the anticipation.Here, traditions and rituals are verycarefully observed in everythingfrom food to clothing. Dinner is usu-ally a feast of seafood anddumplings, signifying different goodwishes. Delicacies include prawns,for liveliness and happiness, driedoysters (ho xi), for all things good,fish dishes or Yau-Yu to bring good
luck and prosperity, Fai-chai (AngelHair), an edible hair-like seaweedto bring prosperity, and dumplingsboiled in water (Jiaozi) signifying along-lasting good wish for a family.It is customary to wear somethingred as this color is meant to wardoff evil spirits. But black and whiteare frowned upon, as these areassociated with mourning. Afterdinner, families sit up for the nightplaying cards, board games orwatching television programs dedi-cated to the occasion. At midnight,fireworks light up the sky.On the day itself, an ancient
custom called Hong Bao, meaningRed Packet, takes place. Thisinvolves married couples givingchildren and unmarried adultsmoney in red envelopes. Then thefamily begins to say greetings fromdoor-to-door, first to their relativesand then to their neighbors. Likethe Western saying "let bygones bebygones," at Chinese NewYear,grudges are very easily cast aside.Tributes are made to ancestors
by burning incense and the sym-bolic offering of foods. As firecrack-ers burst in the air, evil spirits arescared away by the sound of theexplosions.The end of the NewYear is
marked by the Festival of Lanterns,which is a celebration with singing,dancing and lantern shows.
• In China, the NewYear is a time offamily reunion. Family members gatherat each other’s homes for visits andshared meals, most significantly afeast on NewYear’s Eve.
• The lantern festival is held on the fif-teenth day of the first lunar month.Some of the lanterns may be works ofart, painted with birds, animals, flow-ers, zodiac signs, and scenes from leg-end and history. People hang glowinglanterns in temples, and carry lanternsto an evening parade under the light ofthe full moon.
• People buy paper lanterns, red andgold holiday decorations, and goodluck scrolls to decorate their homes.Houses are decorated with the animalsigns for the new year, images ofbearded figures dressed in traditionalgowns and children decked out in silkcostumes. There are often competi-tions to see who can have the best dis-play. Not having a display can cause aloss of face. In cities, buildings andmain streets are lit with lights and dec-orations.

SPORTS
BY TONY ARNOLD
In a game like this, you ex-pect momentum shifts. In this
particular one, afirst-half flurryof offense byLehman with-stood a lategame Sidneysurge.The result:
Lehman toppedSidney 76-67 tocapture brag-ging rights for a
year in what has become anannual cross-town rival. Sid-ney defeated Lehman 74-50last year.“It’s definitely nice to
sweep freshman, JV, and var-sity, especially against Sid-ney” said Lehman coachIsaiahWilliams. “The coach isgoing through some strugglesthere but he has them playinghard and it’s still a rivalry.Wedon’t care if you are strug-gling or if you are winning,this is a rivalry so you have tocome out with your best com-petition and I think they re-sponded. I think theyunderstand the situation andthe moment so we are defi-nitely glad we got the win.”The Jackets led 2-0 but
that marked the only advan-tage the Yellow Jackets wouldenjoy all night. The host Cavsripped off a 10-0 spurt ignitedby a hoop by Michael Jacoband capped off on a nifty pull-up jumper by Tharon Goins.Sidney sliced the lead to
15-11 on the shoulders of Pat-waun Hudson. The Jacketstandout forced a steal, wentthe length of the court, andconverted a three-point playto trim the deficit to four latein the first.The Jacket momentum car-
ried over to the early part ofthe second quarter. Hudsoncanned a contested three-pointer and on the next pos-session, both of his free-throwtosses found the bottom of thenet and Sidney trailed just 17-16.“What can you say, he
(Hudson) did it all tonight? Heattacked, got to the free-throwline, made outside shots, andjust had a phenomenal game.And what doesn’t show up inthe box score is the fact thathe played pretty darn good de-fense,” said Sidney coach GregSnyder.While the Lehman offense
was skipping a few beats, theyfound plenty of rhythm in a17-0 run to construct a mon-ster 34-16 lead. The game-changing run had plenty ofCavalier participants. Goinsburied a triple to start thingsoff, a bucket by Solomon King-White bumped the lead up toa dozen (28-16), Alex Bakerconverted a hoop in transition(32-16) and later capped offLehman’s 17 unansweredpoints with an offensive put-back.“When a team like Lehman
gets out ahead of you, that’s atough team to come back on,”said Snyder. “They don’t turnit over very much and they doa really good job of stayingunder control and gettinglayups. That run in the firsthalf – we just didn’t have an
answer defensively.Lehman maintained a dou-
ble-digit lead throughout thethird quarter. Sidney did comewithin 10 a 44-34 following anice offensive putback by EricBeigel, but the Cavs closed outthe third on a 15-5 run. TheLehman lead-builder was ig-nited by an Alex Baker treyand culminated with a hoopby Baker near the end of theperiod. The Cavaliers led 55-39 heading into the fourth.Things became a little
more interesting midwaythrough the fourth when abasket by Sidney’s TyreeManley trimmed the Cavalieradvantage down to seven (60-53). Beigel drained a triplefrom the corner to slice thelead to 66-61 with 1:22 re-maining.“Towards the end we were
attacking well and getting tothe hole and the free throwline. We preached that fromthe beginning and we just did-n’t quite get it done in the firsthalf,” said Snyder.With the game becoming
tight, perhaps the biggest playof the night came when Goinsrecorded a steal, drove to thebucket, pulled up and senthome a jumper.The hoop gaveLehman a more relaxed 69-61lead with under a minute re-maining. Lehman took care ofbusiness from there.“Tharon Goins was the
MVP tonight. He got his ca-reer high with 18 points, hewas everywhere for us. Hewas doing some real goodthings with the basketballand making some goodpasses,” said Williams.Baker was a point-maker
for Lehman, leading the way
with 19 points. Goins played asolid all-around game on hisway to 18 for the night.Hudson led Sidney and all
scorers with 37 points. Theguard tallied 12 points in thefourth quarter alone. Beigeladded nine.

ANNA’S NATALIE Billing looks for an opening after being surrounded byLehman’s Kandis Sargeant (44) and Ava Schmitz in action at Anna Saturday.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)— Ohio State felt rightat home in this roadgame.William Buford scored
15 points, Jared Sullingerand Deshaun Thomashad 14 apiece, and thesixth-ranked Buckeyesblew out Nebraska forthe second time thismonth with a 79-45 vic-tory Saturday night.The 34-point margin
was Nebraska’s worsthome loss in more than acentury. There was a 37-point loss to ChicagoCentral in 1905, but nosite was listed in Ne-braska records.The Buckeyes (17-3,
5-3) swept their gamesagainst Nebraska by acombined 65 points andmoved into a three-waytie for first place in theBig Ten with Michiganand Michigan State.Ohio State came to
Lincoln with a 2-3 roadrecord, including 1-2against Big Ten oppo-nents. They weren’toverly sharp, but stillwere good enough tobeat the Huskers (10-9,2-6) worse than they didin Columbus on Jan. 3,when they won 71-40.“I see this team grow-
ing inch by inch, week byweek,” coach ThadMattasaid. “We’ve got to con-tinue to hammer ‘em.Wehad three great practicesleading into this game.
They were talking on thebench about what canhappen if we keep prac-ticing like that. Hope-fully, we can continuethat.”Brandon Ubel and Bo
Spencer had eight pointsapiece for Nebraska,which had two field-goaldroughts of longer thaneight minutes.The Huskers, who
upset No. 11 Indiana 70-69 on Wednesday, werelooking for consecutivewins over ranked oppo-nents for the first timesince February 2008.They never had a
chance, committing aseason-high 27
turnovers and shooting aseason-low 29.5 percentfrom the floor.“I don’t think we
could have played anyworse,” Ubel said. “Idon’t think I’ve everbeen on a team that’sturned it over 27 times.You play that bad, withthat many turnoversagainst a team like OhioState, they’re going tomake you pay, and that’swhat happened.”The Buckeyes took
their first double-digitlead 10 minutes into thegame, going on a 13-0run after the first mediatimeout to erase an 8-5deficit.

pected “the emotionalturmoil of the last fewweeks might have playedinto it.”And Mickey Shuler,
who played tight end forPaterno from 1975 to1977, held his almamater accountable.“I don’t think that the
Penn State that hehelped us to become andall the principles and val-ues and things that hetaught were carried outin the handling of his sit-uation,” he said.Paterno’s death just
under three months fol-lowing his last victorycalled to mind anothercoaching great, Al-abama’s Paul “Bear”Bryant, who died lessthan a month after retir-ing.“Quit coaching?”
Bryant said late in hiscareer. “I’d croak in aweek.”Paterno alluded to the
remark made by hisfriend and rival, sayingin 2003: “There isn’t any-thing in my life anymoreexcept my family and myfootball. I think about itall the time.”The winningest coach
in major college football,Paterno roamed the PennState sidelines for 46 sea-sons, his thick-rimmedglasses, windbreaker andjet-black sneakers as fa-miliar as the NittanyLions’ blue and whiteuniforms.His devotion to what
he called “Success withHonor” made Paterno’sfall all themore startling.Happy Valley seemed
perfect for him, a placewhere “JoePa” knew best,where he not only wonmore football games thanany other major collegecoach, but won them theright way. With Paterno,character came first,championships second,academics before athlet-ics. He insisted that on-
field success not come atthe expense of gradua-tion rates.But in the middle of
his final season, the leg-end was shattered. Pa-terno was engulfed in achild sex abuse scandalwhen a former trustedassistant, Jerry San-dusky, was accused ofmolesting 10 boys over a15-year span, sometimesin the football building.Outrage built quickly
after the state’s top lawenforcement official saidthe coach hadn’t fulfilleda moral obligation to goto authorities when agraduate assistant, MikeMcQueary, reported see-ing Sandusky with ayoung boy in the showersof the football complex in2002.McQueary said that
he had seen Sanduskyattacking the child withhis hands around theboy’s waist but said hewasn’t 100 percent sureit was intercourse. Mc-Queary described Pa-terno as shocked andsaddened and said thecoach told him he had“done the right thing” byreporting the encounter.Paterno waited a day
before alerting school of-ficials and never went tothe police.
“I didn’t know whichway to go … and ratherthan get in there andmake a mistake,” Pa-terno told The Washing-ton Post in an interviewnine days before hisdeath.“You know, (Mc-
Queary) didn’t want toget specific,” Paterno said.“And to be frank with youI don’t know that it wouldhave done any good, be-cause I never heard of, of,rape and a man. So I justdid what I thought wasbest. I talked to peoplethat I thought would be,if there was a problem,that would be followingup on it.”When the scandal
broke in November, Pa-terno said he would re-tire following the 2011season. He also said hewas “absolutely devas-tated” by the abuse case.“This is a tragedy,” he
said. “It is one of thegreat sorrows of my life.With the benefit of hind-sight, I wish I had donemore.”But the university
trustees fired Paterno, ef-fective immediately. Gra-ham Spanier, one of thelongest-serving univer-sity presidents in the na-tion, also was fired.Paterno was notified
by phone, not in person, adecision that board vicechairman John Surmaregretted, trustees said.Lanny Davis, the attor-ney retained by trusteesas an adviser, said Surmaintended to extend his re-grets over the phone be-fore Paterno hung uphim.After weeks of escalat-
ing criticism by some for-mer players and alumniabout a lack of trans-parency, trustees lastweek said they fired Pa-terno in part because hefailed a moral obligationto do more in reportingthe 2002 allegation.
