And while the agreement is a win for Indian Lake residents, it doesn’t settle so well with those who are still located in the project area. In recent months, EverPower Wind Holdings and opponents of a plan to construct the Scioto Ridge Wind Farm in northern Logan and southern Hardin counties signed an agreement that would eliminate 65 of the originally proposed 170-plus turbines. The 65 to be eliminated are the ones closest to Indian Lake. Of the 107 turbines remaining, 19 are located in Logan County in northeast Richland Township and northwest Rushcreek Township. The remaining 88 are primarily in Hardin County’s McDonald and Taylor Creek townships, with a few in Lynn and Roundhead townships. The agreement resolves an Ohio Supreme Court case and was also approved by the Ohio Power Siting Board, which means construction can begin as soon as plans are finalized. “We hope to move the project to financing and construction toward the end of the year, but we do have a lot “Even though there are fewer locations, it is a relatively similar size in megawatts and the PILOT is based on the number of megawatts it produces.

A legal agreement reached recently paves the way for the Scioto Ridge Wind Farm to move forward with 65 turbines removed to do between now and then,” EverPower local project manager Jason Dagger said. “We do realistically hope to be able to be under construction by late this year.” There is one final snag in Logan County, however. The Logan County Commissioners would be asked to approve or deny a request for a Payment In Lieu Of Taxes to determine how the project would be taxed. Hardin County Commissioners previously passed measures designating the entire county an COMMISSIONERS STILL MUST EverPower local project manager MAKE DECISION ON PILOT ISSUE Alternative Energy Zone. The designation essentially opens the door for construction of turbines to begin in Hardin County as soon as the developer is ready to proceed. “It will be up to them (Logan County Commissioners) if the Payment In Lieu Of Taxes is the way to move forward with the taxation issue,” Mr. Dagger said. “There is cer- tainly a lot of benefit. The tax revenue from this project is still going to be significant. “Even though there are fewer locations, it is a relatively similar size in megawatts and the PILOT is based on the number of megawatts it produces,” he added. “It is still a very large investment in Hardin and Logan counties and we will be one of the biggest taxpay- ers in Hardin and Logan counties.” The Logan County Commissioners have been extremely tight-lipped on the issue and Commissioner Tony Core did not return a message seeking comment.

The Air Force on Friday gave The Associated Press the first substantive description of the accident after being questioned about it by the AP for more than a year. The accident happened May 17, 2014, at an underground launch silo containing a Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM. The silo, designated Juliet-07, is situated among wheat fields and wind turbines about 9 miles west of Peetz, Colorado. It is controlled by launch officers of the 320th Missile Squadron and administered by the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Listeria outbreak linked to packaged lettuce BY MARY CLARE JALONICK ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Packaged salads produced at a Dole facility in Ohio are linked to one death in Michigan, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The CDC said 12 people in six states have been hospitalized in the outbreak since July after eating salads sold under the names Dole, Fresh Selections, Simple Truth, Marketside, The Little Salad Bar and President’s Choice. The CDC said it linked the outbreak to the Dole salads this month after Ohio agriculture officials found listeria in a bag bought at a retail location. The strain of listeria was “highly related genetically” to the listeria that had made people sick. The CDC said Dole had stopped all production at the Springfield, Ohio, plant and is withdrawing packaged salads on the market that were produced there. Consumers can identify the salads by the letter “A” at the beginning of the manufacturing code on the packages. The agency said that the illnesses were in Michigan, New York, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Those sickened ranged in age EXAMINER PHOTO | REUBEN MEES The produce section at the Bellefontaine Kroger store was emptied this weekend of nearly all packaged salad mixes in response to a listeria outbreak traced to a Dole plant in Springfield. from three years old to 83 years old. In a statement, Dole said its other facilities are not linked to the outbreak. The company said it is withdrawing the salads from sale in more than 20 states and three Canadian provinces.

It can cause fever, muscle aches and gastrointestinal symptoms and can be fatal. It also can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature labor, and serious illness or death in newborn babies. Force Base at Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Air Force said that while three airmen were troubleshooting the missile, a “mishap” occurred, causing $1.8 million in damage to the missile. The service declined to explain the nature of the mishap, such as whether it caused physical damage, saying the information is too sensitive to be made public.

MCVAY Richard Adam McVay, 31, of Zanesfield, was arrested about 2 p.m. Friday. He was initially detained on a Logan County parole violation, but eventually was charged with one count of felonious assault, a second degree felony. The victim, a 77-year-old man, reportedly was sitting on a bench at Eljer Park in Marysville shortly after noon Thursday when he was approached by two men. After a brief conversation, the suspects allegedly attacked the victim and left him lying on the ground, Marysville Division of Police officials said. The suspects then fled the area in a dark-colored pickup truck. Officers said there was no apparent reason for the attack. Memorial Hospital of Union County officials confirmed that the victim was treated there and transported to a second facility, but could not say where, and would not comment on his condition. City officials used social media to post surveillance pictures of the incident. Photos showed the truck and one of the suspects wearing a camouflage jacket. Mr. McVay was quickly identified by members of the public as a suspect. He denied the allegation on social media, stating that his truck has been broken for days and does not run. “That is not my truck that was at the park,” he wrote Thursday night. According to jail records, the defendant has a history of arrests for theft, domestic violence, assault, criminal damaging, possession of drugs, driving under suspension and other offenses. He is currently incarcerated at the Tri-County Jail. Investigators ask for the public’s help to identify the other suspect involved in the assault. “We are continuing to ask the public to contact the Marysville Division of Police with any information they may have about this incident as we are still actively searching for the second suspect,” according to a press release from the Marysville Division of Police.

Recently, she visited the doctor and her blood pressure and blood sugar levels were extremely high. The doctor spoke to her about the consequences of her diet, and after the visit, she spoke to his nurse. She was told that if she keeps her blood sugar under 200, she doesn’t need to worry and the doctor won’t be mad at her. She came away from the visit with a determination to do a better job with her diet. But within a week, she went back to eating the “banned” food items. She tests herself and thinks that levels in the 190s are OK. I have been trying to work with her on her diet. I have introduced her to better food choices. I listen to her and give advice when the opportunity comes up. I have made the decision to keep the lines of communication open by not criticizing her choices. Is there anything I ought to be doing? — The Listener Dear Listener: Not really. You are being supportive without enabling. You might ask her to join you in an exercise class or a morning walk. Physical activity can help enormously. And you can suggest that she contact a dietician for help with her nutrition, and the American Diabetes Association (diabetes.org) for information, resources and support. The rest is up to her. Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 46 years and have been happy for most of it. We recently traveled to North Carolina to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. It was also my 71st birthday, so it was especially lovely, and I received some nice gifts. My wife gave me a $50 debit card, which I greatly appreciated. However, when we were driving home after the turkey dinners, golf, shopping, visiting, etc., it was time to fill up the car. My wife insisted that I pay for the $29 in gas with my birthday debit card. Do you think that was a reasonable thing for her to do? My wife earns twice what I do. I always buy her beautiful and expensive gifts for her special occasions. — Still in Love Dear Still: Your wife made n the unilateral decision that the gift card was for both of you and should be spent on joint needs. This makes it less of a gift than you ANNIE’S anticipated, MAILBOX and we agree that it was unfair. It has nothing to do with who earns more money. Had you paid for the gas without using the debit card, you would have been out the same $29, but that is beside the point. Spending it on gas should have been your choice, not hers. Does your wife do this sort of thing often? Speak up and let her know it bothered you. Tell her that it is not a gift if someone else determines when it is spent and for what. Thank her again for being so generous and ask her to please not do this again. Dear Annie: My husband and I have been trying to conceive for three years, with no luck. I’ve tried almost everything there is over the counter, and I can’t seem to bring myself to see a doctor. I’m afraid he’ll tell me there is something wrong with one of us and we’ll resent each other. As time goes on, my depression and anger grow. I feel physical pain when I think about how much I want a baby. I have no one to share my sorrows with. My family has grown tired of my crying, even my husband. So I’ve learned to keep it to myself, and find a place where I can be alone to cry. I’ve noticed that holidays make the pain worse knowing I’ve failed once again to give my mother and mother-in-law a grandchild. My sister isn’t much help, either. She is trying, too, and tells me she thinks both of us have some kind of fertility problem. I don’t need to hear that, especially since I could never afford treatment. My grandma hurts me as well. She tells me almost every time I see her, “You know your sister is probably going to get pregnant, because you want a baby so much.” It makes me feel evil when I ACHIEVERS Andrew Steven Vicario of Bellefontaine is one of 24 cadets who graduated Jan. 13 from the Clark State Community College’s Basic Peace Officer Training.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Sibling Dilemma,” who said that one of her sisters (“Pam”) was missing in action when another sister was fighting breast cancer. She feels Pam was insensitive and uncaring, and now wants to exclude her from future vacations with her siblings. I remember my first experience with a close friend who had cancer. I was terrified and grief-stricken. I didn’t know how to handle it so I avoided her, pretending she was still young and healthy. Pam might just be immature and inexperienced, rather than uncaring. — Older and Wiser Now Dear Older: You could be right. This type of inappropriate response happens more often than we realize. Our concern now is that “Sibling” find a way to forgive, because not doing so will damage her relationship with all her other siblings. We hope she and “Pam” can work it out. © 2016 Creators.com J.K.

Monday, January 25, 2016 • BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER • 3 Local & State eMail: [email protected] ONLINE @ www.examiner.org Ex-diplomat not expecting role in talks on detained student SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A retired U.S. ambassador who used his connections to help negotiate the release of an American held by North Korea in 2014 said he doesn’t expect to be involved in any talks with the country over a detained American student. Tony Hall, a former diplomat and Ohio congressman, played a role in the release of Jeffrey Fowle, who was held by North Korea for nearly six months. Hall told The Dayton Daily News that he does not anticipate being called on this time to lobby the North Korean government to release University of Virginia student Otto Warmbier. Warmbier and Fowle are from southwest Ohio. Warmbier is from the Cincinnati area, and Fowle lives about 40 miles north in Miamisburg. Hall said previously he got involved at the request of Fowle’s family, Fowle’s attorney and the U.S. Department of State, which led the push for Fowle’s release. In remarks published late Friday in the Dayton newspaper, Hall said the North Koreans don’t give an inch. “They are very, very tough people, and you’ve really got to understand them and their culture and the fact that they are a sovereign nation, and that’s important to understand,” he said. Hall said the United States has little leverage with North Korea. “One of the problems is we don’t have a lot of leverage with North Korea because we don’t have a relationship with them to speak of that’s good,” he said. North Korea announced on Friday it arrested Warmbier for committing a “hostile act” orchestrated by the U.S. Republican Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a presidential candidate, has said North Korea should provide evidence against Warmbier or let him go. A China-based travel agency said Saturday that Warmbier was being held over an unspecified incident at his hotel before he was scheduled to board a flight for Beijing. The CEO of Young Pioneer Tours, Gareth Johnson, confirmed via email Saturday that Warmbier had been staying at Pyongyang’s Yanggakdo International Hotel and was not with other tourists when the incident occurred. The company statement said Warmbier was detained at the Pyongyang Airport on Jan. 2, but it didn’t explain what happened at the hotel. The company said an airport official told one of its guides after Warmbier was detained that he had been taken to a hospital. The guide attempted to go back to see him but was unable to as airport staff ushered her through immigration, the company said. The U.S. and South Korea have been pushing for tough sanctions against the North over its latest nuclear test on Jan. 6. North Korea has detained a few Americans, South Koreans and other foreigners in recent years, accusing them of anti-North activities in what analysts say are attempts to wrest outside concessions. Superintendent: Classes canceled amid more water tests SEBRING (AP) — A school district canceled its classes today as more tests are being done in a northeast Ohio village where elevated levels of lead and copper were found in tap water. Sebring Schools Superintendent Toni Viscounte said in an email Sunday the district will be closed today. “Another round of testing is being done for precautionary reasons.” Sebring’s city manager issued an advisory Thursday night that said children and pregnant women shouldn’t drink the village system’s tap water after seven of 20 homes where the water is routinely tested showed levels of lead and copper that exceeded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards. Tests had showed lead levels at 21 parts per billion in the seven homes. The EPA standard is 15 parts per billion. Lead can cause serious health problems for infants and young children. The Sebring water system serves around 8,100 customers in the Mahoning County communities of Sebring, Beloit and Maple Ridge. Sebring is about 60 miles southeast of Cleveland. Classes had been canceled Friday for the Sebring school district’s 650 students as a precaution. Viscounte said the career center students will have school today and the junior high basketball game will still go on. Bottled water and hand sanitizer will be given out, he added. A posting on the district’s website on Sunday morning had said the schools’ water was safe and classes would resume Monday. The post was later removed and updated with one that classes were canceled “due to additional testing that the EPA has requested.” The schools’ website said initial water testing was done by taking samples from a few areas in the school buildings, but tests have been requested for all water outlets in both buildings. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency spokesman James Lee told WFMJ-TV in Youngstown that the lead is not coming from the Sebring water treatment plant or the Mahoning River, where the village’s system gets its water. Lee said the agency believes the traces of lead and copper are coming from smaller distribution lines and possibly old homes with lead pipes. “We are working with Sebring water treatment plant to make adjustments to minimize leaching of lead into the water,” he said. Volunteers handed out bot- tled water to residents over the weekend. “Our primary focus is to distribute this water to pregnant women, infants and children,” said Mahoning Emergency Management Agency Director Dennis O’Hara. “That is our primary focus. We are not going to turn anyone away, but we want to make sure we are hitting our target population that is most at risk according to Centers for Disease Control guidelines.” A blood lead screening clinic was held Sunday for area residents under age 6, along with pregnant or breastfeeding women who get their water from the village. LOCAL NOTES $130M project at Dayton airport to begin n DAYTON (AP) — A $130 million renovation project at Dayton International Airport in southwestern Ohio will begin this year. The Dayton Daily News reports financing has been secured for the first phases of the project that will create a glass-walled passenger entrance to the airport terminal, add a new floor and rebuild parking lots. Reconstruction of the airport’s economy park- Cattle, dairy associations plan banquet ing lot will begin this summer with work to tear out the terminal’s existing facade and replace it with a glass wall and canopy set to begin in September. The entire renovation is expected to continue over 10 years. The Federal Aviation Administration this week signed off on the airport’s use of passenger fee proceeds to pay for a $28 million bond issue. That clears the way for a bond sale later this year. Woman injects heroin, flips car with sons CINCINNATI (AP) — A southwest Ohio sheriff’s office says an Indiana woman flipped her vehicle while driving with her two sons after injecting heroin and apparently experiencing an overdose. The Hamilton County sheriff’s office says 27year-old Amanda Gordon of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, told investigators she and her children’s father purchased and injected heroin near an exit ramp to Interstate 74 on Friday. Authorities say Gordon lost control of the vehicle shortly after 4 p.m. that day. The vehicle struck trees and rolled onto its top, partially ejecting Gordon and ejecting the children’s father. Their 8year-old and 10-year-old sons were not injured. County court documents show Gordon has been charged with child endangering and possessing drug abuse instruments. A message seeking comment was left Monday with her public defender.

Nuclear ________ Continued from Page 1 The three airmen were immediately stripped of their certification to perform nuclear weapons duty. The missile was taken offline and removed from its silo. No one was injured and the Air Force said the accident posed no risk to public safety. More than a year later the three airmen were recertified and returned to duty. At the time of the accident, a group of nuclear weapons experts was nearing the end of a three-month independent review of the entire U.S. nuclear force, an examination prompted in part by a series of AP stories on troubles within the force. The experts were operating on orders from then-Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who asked them to begin their review in March. They reported their results to him June 2. The AP asked Lt. Col. John Sheets, spokesman for the Air Force Global Strike Command, which is responsible for the ICBM force, whether the May 17 accident had been reported to the Hagel-appointed review group. The experts were looking at a range of issues, including shortcomings in training, equipment, morale and leadership. “No. The accident was going through the investigative process when” the review teams made their visits to ICBM bases, Sheets said. Pressed further, he said he could say no more and referred questions about this to the Pentagon, which did not immediately comment. The Accident Investigation Board did not begin its work until Aug. 25, more than three months after the mishap. A safety investigation was begun sometime earlier. The Air Force denied an AP request for the accident investigation report in 2015 under the Freedom of Information Act. Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, said Saturday the fact that the Hagel review group was not told about the accident “raises questions about what other accidents and incidents may have been overlooked by that investigation.” On Friday evening, the AP was given a brief summary of the report. It said the Minuteman 3 missile “became nonoperational” during a diagnostic test on the evening of May 16, 2014. The next morning a “mishap crew” chief, who was not identified, “did not correctly adhere to technical guidance” during troubleshooting efforts, “subsequently damaging the missile.” No further details about the damage or errors were disclosed. The investigation report summary said there were four contributing factors to the accident, and two were identified. One was the mishap chief’s failure to follow technical guidance. The other was that the mishap chief “lacked the necessary proficiency level” to anticipate the consequences of his actions during the troubleshooting. In seeming contradiction of that second point, the Air Force said in its separate statement to the AP that the mishap team chief was properly trained for the task he was performing. Sheets said it is possible that some or all of the three could still face disciplinary action. The summary said the central cause of the mishap was established by “clear and convincing evidence,” but the Air Force would not disclose the cause or the evidence. It said the cause is cited in the investigation report. The Air Force refused to make that public, saying the report is classified, even though the service’s own policy requires the public release of accident board reports. Case seeking cancer screenings for smokers heads to trial BY DENISE LAVOIE AP LEGAL AFFAIRS WRITER BOSTON — A decade after a group of smokers from Massachusetts sued Philip Morris USA to try to force the cigarette maker to pay for lung cancer screenings, the case will finally be heard by a jury. Smokers in the class-action lawsuit allege Philip Morris manufactured a defective cigarette knowing it could have made a safer product with fewer carcinogens. The closely watched case heads to trial this week in federal court in Boston. They are not seeking money, but instead want to compel Philip Morris to pay for highly detailed, three-dimensional chest scans that can detect signs of early-stage lung cancer that may be too small to show up on traditional X-rays. The jury will be asked to decide whether Philip Morris made Marlboro cigarettes that are unreasonably dangerous. If the jury finds in favor of the smokers, a second phase will be held to determine how a medical monitoring program will be administered. No smokers are expected to testify during the first phase. Instead, it will be a trial of dueling experts. The plaintiffs plan to call a former Philip Morris employee to testify that feasible alternative designs of Marlboros have existed for decades. They also plan to call a psychologist who will testify that given a choice between Marlboros or a safer cigarette, a non-addicted, informed person would choose the safer alternative. Philip Morris is expected to call experts in cigarette design and marketing who are likely to testify that the company’s lower-tar and lower-nicotine cigarettes — on the market since the late 1970s —have failed to gain a significant market share among any group of smoker. Richard Daynard, a law professor at Northeastern University and anti-smoking activist, said past lawsuits seeking to force tobacco companies to provide medical monitoring have failed. But Daynard said he believes the Massachusetts case has a stronger chance of succeeding because recent studies have found that the sophisticated screening can save lives. “What’s happened is you have better technology which captures the tumors at a much earlier stage where there’s a very good chance that if you get them that the person ... is probably not going to die from it,” Daynard said. A Philip Morris spokesman declined to comment, and lawyers for the company did not respond to messages. In court documents, the company denied that its cigarettes are defectively designed and argued that three-dimensional chest scans would not be effective or necessary for every person covered by the lawsuit. The case covers Massachusetts smokers who, as of February 2013, were at least 50, had at least a 20 packyear history of smoking Marlboros and have not been diagnosed with lung cancer. Pack-years are calculated by multiplying the average number of packs per day by the number of years a person has smoked. The two sides agree that the chest scans are “reasonably and periodically necessary” for smokers 55 to 74 with at least a 30 pack-year history. They disagree on the rest of the smokers in the lawsuit. Since the case was filed in 2006, insurers have begun to cover the screenings for certain smokers. Last year, Medicare announced it would pay for annual screenings for beneficiaries 55 to 77 with at least a 30 pack-year history. U.S. District Judge Denise Casper rejected a request to exclude evidence about insurers agreeing to pay for threedimensional chest scans, but said she’ll instruct jurors that they are not allowed to consider whether any of the smokers have insurance coverage for screening. “The fact that insurance now covers it and it’s recognized for certain groups as being efficacious may have some evidentiary value in the case, but it does not change the fact that Philip Morris could be liable for the cost of the scans,” said Christopher Weld, an attorney for the smokers. Wind _________________________ Continued from Page 1 The agreement While the agreement eliminates all turbines within five miles of Indian Lake and some even further out than that, it does not sit well with southern Hardin County residents like Katie and Anthony Elsasser whose home in McDonald Township will still be surrounded by turbines. “It was really sad to see this happen,” Mrs. Elsasser said. “They decided to keep it just in the interest of the lake. We were disappointed they didn’t work to stop the entire project.” The agreement was ironed out by the Hardin Logan Neighbors United group, but the Elsassers and Michael Shepherd, who recently sold his family’s Hardin County home and moved out from the proposed project area, said a splinter group called Fight the Wind is still opposed to the development. “It became apparent our goals are very different than theirs,” Mrs. Elsasser said. “We are still planning and working on things to do.” Don Eggenschwiller, current president of the Hardin Logan Neighbors United and an Indian Lake area resident, acknowledged that it was not an ideal settlement, but said it protects the interests of Indian Lake as a state resource. “Some people are not happy with this and some people believe wind turbines don’t belong anywhere on the planet,” Mr. Eggenschwiller said. “But realistically, we didn’t have the kind of leverage to make them go away entirely. As it stands now, they pose no threat to Indian Lake.” Mr. Dagger said while the agreement allows the development to move forward, it was a compromise for the company as well. “It was over many different meetings with different residents of not only Indian Lake but other facets of the community,” he said. “We are very pleased we are able to have a compromise, but not everybody is happy, including us. We would like to have more options, but at the end of the day, everybody has a better understanding of what it takes to build a wind farm, the science behind it and the economic benefit.

The 1990 Census figures reveal that Logan County’s population grew from 39,155 in 1980 to 42,310 in 1990 — an increase of 8.06 percent. n Mr. Eggenschwiller said the effort to keep the turbines away from Indian Lake was born out of the same private organizations that support such lake initiatives as the Indian Lake Watershed Project and Indian Lake Development Corporation, that he credits for keeping Indian Lake healthy and viable while other lakes like Grand Lake St. Marys or Buckeye Lake suffer from years of neglect and apathy. The watershed project, which began about 25 years ago taught farmers the importance of healthy land management practices while other lake communities allowed farming practices to continue unchecked, he said. “Because of this, several years ago we saw the water getting cleaner,” Mr. Eggenschwiller said. “Then when we saw weeds growing up and knew they needed to be cut, this community’s watershed project raised over $150,000 to buy a weed harvester. “That’s the kind of love this community has for this state resource. They love it and would give their own money to take care of it,” he said. “So when they started talking about turbines being proposed within a half mile of the lake, we knew they would dominate the skyline. These people in this community kept that from happening when something came along to diminish the intrinsic beauty of this resource.” The compromise is a step better than nothing, he said. “We got more out of this settlement in Logan and Hardin counties than most communities get when they fight wind development,” Mr. Eggenschwiller said. While the settlement essentially opens the door to development in Hardin County, the Fight the Wind group said they want to continue to apply pressure in Logan County to prevent EverPower’s 19 proposed turbines from being built and set a precedent for developers considering Logan County. “My house was being surrounded by a dozen turbines in Hardin County which is an alternative energy zone. The tax breaks are already in place,” Mr. Shepherd said. “We saw no future there, so we moved to an area in Logan County where we hope no wind turbines come to. “We don’t want to see any turbines come to Logan County, whether it’s 19 or 100. We’re still staying pretty active and encouraging Logan County Commissioners not to give the PILOT to the developers when they come and ask for it. Residents should let commissioners know their thoughts on it, too,” Mr. Shepherd said. “My county is already designated as welcoming turbines,” Mrs. Elsasser said. “My concern is that it is going to open the door to more development in Logan County at this point and we don’t want that to happen.” Assault __________ Continued from Page 1 “Other charges could be forthcoming against McVay and others, as the investigation is on-going.” Marysville police can be contacted at 645-7300 or at [email protected].

With the score tied 38-38 at the end of regulation, each team scored three points in the first overtime to force a second extra session. The Lakers then edged the Knights 4-2 in the second overtime to grab the win. Wurster scored all seven of her team’s points in the two overtime periods. “The girls did an excellent job fighting through adversity in the second half to win in double overtime,” said IL head coach Nick Tucci. “They stuck together as a team one possession at a time and were able to force overtime twice to give us a chance at the eventual victory. “Caylee Wurster stepped up big at the free-throw line in the overtimes, making all five freethrow attempts.” The win snaps a four game losing skid and improves the Lakers to 3-16 overall and 3-5 in the CBC Mad River division. The Knights drop to 2-17, 0-8. Greenon led 10-7 after the first quarter, but Indian Lake went on a 16-6 run in the second quarter. That allowed the Lakers to carry a 23-16 lead into halftime. The Knights exploded for a 17-3 scoring spurt in the third quarter to jump ahead 33-26. Indian Lake rallied with a 12-5 effort in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 38-38.

Current scored 28 points in the Raiders’ 92-38 win, which saw the team set two new school records. Benjamin Logan’s girls basketball team saw its offense catch fire from the opening whistle Saturday as it set two school records in a 92-38 win over visiting Graham. The Raiders broke the school record for most points scored in a game and most field goals in a game with 38. They improve to 15-3 overall and remain perfect at 8-0 in Central Buckeye Conference Mad River division play. “It’s a good accomplishment for the girls,” said BL head coach Donnie Sosby. “It shows their hard work is paying off. Playing well together helps a lot, too, with something like this. They played very well together and shot the ball extremely well in the first half.” The previous scoring record was 91 points set in 1990 against Waynesfield-Goshen, while the previous field goal record was 36 set in 1988. Ben Logan led 73-26 at the end of the third quarter. That is when Sosby gave his squad a chance at setting the scoring record. “When we got within 20 points in the fourth quarter we decided to go for it,” said Sosby. “We hadn’t talked about it before. It just came about and I thought when would they get another chance at it, because they may not. “I told them not to full-court press and I gave them a time limit. I didn’t want to leave the starters in that long, but this was their shot to go for it.” The Raiders were dominant from the start.

Bellefontaine’s girls basketball team turned in one of its best efforts of the season Saturday, but came up short to Kenton Ridge. The Chiefs closed to within three points in the fourth quarter, but the visiting Cougars prevailed 64-52 in a Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail division game. Bellefontaine slips to 2-15 overall and 0-8 in the league. The Cougars are now 11-5, 5-3. The Chiefs stayed within striking distance in the first half as they trailed by seven (3629) at halftime. Kenton Ridge opened up some breathing room in the third quarter, outscoring the hosts 11-4 to lead 47-33. However, the Chiefs fought back in the final period to cut the Cougars’ lead to one possession. The Cougars were able to use some clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch to seal the win. The Chiefs saw a lot of players contribute as nine girls scored points. Liz Martin led Bellefontaine with 16 points. Aubrey Stolly had seven points, Maddie Mitchell tallied six points and Kassidi Sullivan also had six points. In the JV game, Kenton Ridge won 65-54.

I thought we passed the ball extremely well. It was one of our best games passing since I’ve been coaching here (10 years). The girls made the extra pass and found the open player.” Making Ben Logan’s scoring record even more impressive is that just four players scored for the Raiders.

Bellefontaine girls continue to shine, take second at Kenton Ridge swim meet BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF The Bellefontaine girls swim team turned in another stellar performance Saturday by taking second out of 14 teams in the Kenton Ridge Invitational. The Chieftain boys had a solid effort as well, taking sixth. “The team did a great job and I am very proud of the number of swimmers that focused on finishing strong,” said BHS head coach Sharon Lewis. “We spent a lot of time this week working on our finishes and this allowed several swimmers to beat out others and drop time.” Springfield Shawnee won the girls meet with 102 points. The Chiefs were close behind with 100. Ben Logan’s girls finished 11th with 14 points. On the boys side, Springfield won the meet with 137 points. Bellefontaine had 33 points for its sixth-place finish. Indian Lake’s boys finished ninth with 20 points and Ben Logan was 11th with 11 points. Bellefontaine’s girls team was sparked by two first-place relay teams. The 200 medley relay of Amy Fulmer, Megan Barthauer, Emily Fulmer and Shelby Starkey finished first, while the 400 freestyle relay team of Amy Fulmer, Evie Belcher, Starkey and Emily Fulmer also placed first. Starkey contributed a firstplace finish in the 200 freestyle and a sixth-place effort in the 100 butterfly. Amy Fulmer was first in the 100 backstroke and second in the 50 freestyle and Emily Fulmer was second in both the 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle. Also for the Chiefs, Belcher was fifth in the 200 individual medley, Megan Barthauer was sixth in the 100 breaststroke, Caroline Eader was sixth in the 200 individual medley, Lauran Barthauer was seventh in the 200 freestyle, the 400 B freestyle relay team of Bailey Smith, Megan Barthauer, Madeline Dailey and Lauran Barthauer placed sixth and the 200 freestyle relay team of Belcher, Dailey, Bailey Smith and Lauran Barthauer finished seventh. Isaiah Brady again paced the Chieftain boys. He was first in the 100 butterfly and third in the 200 freestyle. Brady teamed with Brock Finch, Arden Neer and Logan Lamb to finish third in the 400 freestyle relay. Logan Lamb was fifth for the Chiefs in the 100 butterfly and Finch added a seventh-place effort in the 50 freestyle. Macy Arn and Jaden Sims highlighted Ben Logan’s per- formance Saturday. Arn was first in the girls 200 individual medley and fourth in the 50 freestyle, while Sims was second in the boys 100 freestyle and fifth in the 100 backstroke. Also for the Raiders, Nolan Pelger achieved a personal-best time in the 100 freestyle and Breanna Heath had a personalbest time in the 100 backstroke.

Mitchell scores 22, Ohio State beats Rutgers PISCATAWAY, N.J. — For a change, high-scoring No. 7 Ohio State used its defense to win a game. Kelsey Mitchell scored 22 points and lethargic Ohio State woke up and limited Rutgers to seven points in taking command in the third quarter in a 67-58 victory on Sunday. “I thought we really turned up the defense and that was the key to the game there in the third quarter,” Buckeyes coach Kevin McGuff said. DENVER — When Peyton Manning was watching games from the locker room a few months ago, none of this seemed possible. Manning back on the field, playing the role of the most decorated game manager in history. Manning churning his 39year-old legs around right end for a 12-yard gain and a first down. Manning back in the Super Bowl. The strangest season of No. 18’s Hall of Fame-ready career will play itself out all the way to the last game. Manning and the Denver Broncos are heading to the Super Bowl, thanks to his efficient offense and a big-play defense that saved a 20-18 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday. “It’s been a unique season,” Manning said. “And this game today was a unique football game.” Manning’s third-quarter scramble for a first down — “The run,” he called it, using air quotes — might be the most celebrated scramble by a Broncos quarterback since John Elway helicoptered in the Super Bowl, 18 years ago. It was certainly the most unexpected. “He’s going to do what he has to do to win,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. “He’s one of the greatest competitors ever in this league.” That play helped flip the field early in the second half for the Broncos (14-4). Then, defense saved the day. Manning’s fourth trip to the Super Bowl wasn’t wrapped up until cornerback Bradley Roby picked off Brady’s pass on a 2point attempt that would have tied it with 12 seconds left. Brady hit a double-covered Rob Gronkowski in the back of the end zone on fourth down from the 4 to set up the potential tie. The Patriots had to go for 2 because Stephen Gostkowski pushed an extra point to the right in the first AP PHOTO | JOE MAHONEY Denver Broncos defensive back Shiloh Keo (33) celebrates with Corey Nelson following the AFC Championship game between the Denver Broncos and the New England Patriots Sunday in Denver. quarter — his first miss in 524 tries. “All day, these guys put their bodies and lives on the line, and for me to come out here and miss a kick, it’s a nightmare scenario,” Gostkowski said. That left it to one play, and after the Broncos took a timeout to give DeMarcus Ware time to rest and get back in the game, Aqib Talib stepped in front of Brady’s pass and deflected it skyward. Roby, who forced the gamechanging fumble in last week’s victory over Pittsburgh, made the pick. The Broncos recovered the onside kick and the celebration began. Manning improved to 6-11 in his vaunted series against Brady, but 3-1 with the AFC title on the line. Manning surpasses Elway as the oldest quarterback to take his team to the Super Bowl. The Broncos will play Carolina, a 49-15 winner over Arizona in the NFC game. New England (13-5) came up short and won’t get a chance to go back-to-back and win a fifth Lombardi Trophy. The Patriots lost their last two regular season games to squander home-field advantage. In a game that came down to one play, that may have made a difference. Another possible factor: Bill Belichick’s decision to pass up short field-goal attempts twice in the fourth quarter while trailing by eight. “Because of the scoring situation in the game,” Belichick said. They’ll have the winter to debate it in New England. Newton, Panthers rout Cardinals, 49-15 for NFC title BY BARRY WILNER AP PRO FOOTBALL WRITER CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Superman is bringing his cape and his pen to Super Bowl 50. He’s leaving behind his camera. “Yeah, we are going to the Super Bowl. We are not going just to take pictures,” Cam Newton said Sunday after leading the Carolina Panthers into the big game with a 49-15 rout of Arizona for the NFC championship. “We are trying to finish this thing off.” That would be against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in two weeks. “Playing the sheriff,” Newton said of Manning. “We’re going to live in the moment right now. We’re going to be excited.” Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others, and Carolina’s big-play defense stifled Arizona’s top-ranked offense. The 49 points were the most for an NFC title game winner. The NFL’s new top man at quarterback — Newton is an All-Pro this season — goes against five-time MVP Manning. Carolina is favored by four points. “We’ve been dreaming about this moment since Day 1,” Newton said. “Our pen has a lot more ink left.” It will be Newton’s first trip to the Super Bowl and the sec- ond for the Panthers (17-1), who lost to New England 12 years ago. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a recordtying eighth time. And while the Broncos’ defense carried it past New England 20-18 for the AFC crown, Carolina’s D was just as destructive. It picked off Carson Palmer four times, forced two fumbles by him, and never let up the assault. Special teams also had a takeaway, and when Carolina grabbed a 24-7 halftime lead this time, it didn’t back off, as it did in nearly blowing a 31-point margin a week ago vs. Seattle. When Newton flew into the end zone for a 12-yard thirdquarter touchdown — no, he didn’t have the cape on — he posed like a superhero, dabbed a bit, and pointed the Panthers toward the Bay Area. Newton finished with 335 yards passing and 47 rushing as Carolina won its 13th straight home game, including three in the playoffs. One of his biggest helpers was Ted Ginn Jr., who was dumped by the Cardinals after last season. Ginn had a 32-yard punt return to set up his weaving 22-yard TD run, and chased down All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a secondquarter touchdown. He also had 52 yards on two receptions. “Yes, it was personal,” Ginn said. “My team knew it was personal.” Carolina’s defense did the rest, most notably making Palmer uncomfortable in the pocket and turning Larry Fitzgerald, the star of last week’s overtime victory against Green Bay, into a virtual non-entity. It led the league with 39 takeaways, and at times it made an Arizona team that gained more yards than anyone look amateurish. “We wanted to come out and play a complete game and I think the guys up front played exceptional,” linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “There was pressure all day.” Cardinals grab 57-54 OT win over Yellow Springs BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF DIDN’T GET YOUR EXAMINER?

Southeastern claims non-league win over Riverside BY THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF Southeastern’s boys basketball team was too much for visiting Riverside on Saturday as it beat the Pirates 50-30 in nonleague action. The Trojans are now 15-2 on the season, while the Pirates drop to 6-8. “You’ve got to give a lot of credit to Southeastern, they’re a good ball club,” said RHS head coach Dean Sanford. “I really felt like our guys came out ready to play tonight, but Southeastern’s defense caused a lot of problems with our lack of execution on offense.” Southeastern jolted Riverside in the first quarter with a 13-6 start. The Trojans outscored the Pirates 12-5 in the second quarter to build a 25-11 halftime lead. The third quarter saw Southeastern push its lead to 17 points at 39-22. Landon Kelsey sparked the Pirates with nine points and 11 rebounds, while Jesse Kean also had nine points. Southeastern won the junior varsity game 52-27. Kyle Knight, Trey Lane and Lane Willoby each scored seven points for the Pirates. Riverside travels to Hardin Northern on Friday for a Northwest Central Conference game.

Bulls spoil Lue’s coaching debut, beat Cavaliers 96-83 BY TOM WITHERS AP SPORTS WRITER CLEVELAND — Tyronn Lue didn’t make much of a difference in his coaching debut for Cleveland as Pau Gasol scored 25 points, leading the Chicago Bulls to a 96-83 win over the Cavaliers on Saturday night. Lue was promoted Friday, when the Cavaliers fired David Blatt despite him taking the team to the NBA Finals last season and currently leading the Eastern Conference. The coaching swap didn’t have any immediate impact on the Bulls, who outhustled the Cavs to loose balls and won for just the third time in nine games. Jimmy Butler scored 20 points, Nikola Mirotic added 17 and Taj Gibson 15 for Chicago, which opened a 17-point lead in the third quarter and never let the Cavs get closer than eight in the fourth. LeBron James just missed his first triple-double this season, finishing with 26 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. J.R. Smith added 18 points for the Cavs, who shot 37 percent from the field and were only 9 for 22 from the three-throw line. When the final horn sounded, the Cavs were booed by their own fans, not the sound Cleveland’s front-office was hoping to hear. Bothered by a lack of cohesion and chemistry in the Cavs, general manager David Griffin fired Blatt, a surprising move that came just days after Cleveland suffered a humiliating 34-point home loss to the defending champion Golden State Warriors. But Griffin detected deeper issues and felt he had no choice but to remove Blatt and promote Lue, a top assistant and former point guard who won two NBA titles as a player. Lue’s got work to do. Earlier in the day, Blatt, who went 83-40 in two seasons, came to Quicken Loans Arena while a minor league hockey game was being played, packed up belongings in his office and left — his NBA future unknown. Lue said his early focus would be on his team’s “spirit.” He believes the Cavs aren’t hav- ing as much fun as they should be and is intent on improving their attitude. “You can’t be mad when you win and you can’t be mad when you lose,” he said. That’s good place for him to start because the Cavs again looked uninspired and not like title contenders. James arrived at Quicken Loans Arena earlier than usual and spent nearly 40 minutes on the floor before the game getting in some extra work with assistant coach Phil Handy. The four-time MVP scored 26 seconds into the game, but then he and the Cavs went cold, missing 16 straight shots as the Bulls run off 13 straight points to end the first quarter.

The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign. A baby born today has a Sun in Aquarius and a Moon in Leo if born before 4:50 p.m. (EST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Virgo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 25, 2016: This year confusion surrounds you. Be careful when communicating, and make sure that you and others are on the same page. Confirm meeting places and times, and repeat any off-the-wall statement you hear for clarification. If you are single, you are likely to get involved with someone with whom you have a karmic connection. Ending this bond could be difficult. If you are attached, you and your significant other maintain a sense of humor, which makes your misunderstandings seem less serious. You are happy you’re with the one you love. VIRGO can be very difficult. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) #### You still might be ablaze with energy, ideas and the desire to pursue a dream. What is stopping you? You will confront a liability or problem in the next few days, if not today. The clarity you gain will drive you to the desired results. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) #### You might act like a stick in the mud in the morning. Your creativity emerges and is likely to explode with one idea after another. What has been a restriction or problem until this point will dissipate after a conversation. You final- ly can clear a painful hurdle. Tonight: Celebrate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ### Your ideas might have been misrepresented during the past few weeks. As of today, you will enter a period that parallels the recent past. Do not claim responsibility falsely. On the other hand, do take responsibility for your share of a mess. Tonight: Close to home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) #### You are like a seesaw with your mood. You will experience greater stability within yourself. Once you clear up a misunderstanding, you might feel as if you have jumped a hurdle that up till now has felt impossible. Tonight: Invite a friend out for munchies and a drink. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) #### Get a head start in the morning; you still have that magic that makes a difference. A problem involving your finances seems insurmountable. In the next few days, if not today, you will discover a solution. Tonight: Be forthright with a friend about a confusing situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) #### You might not come out of your cocoon until midday. Make this OK, but understand that what you previously thought was a problem no longer is one. Avoid making the issue much bigger than it needs to be. Do your best to resolve it now. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) #### Use your positive attitude to move important projects quickly. If you hit a snafu, don’t be surprised. You will be able to clear it up if you take responsibility for your side of the issue. Try not to get pouty; others like you better when you’re upbeat. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) #### You will be the dominant partner on a project. You will get what you desire. Know that you could change your mind about what your role needs to be and what it is that you desire from the sit- HELP WANTED uation. Honor your priorities, as they could change again. Tonight: Brainstorm with a buddy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) #### You have a strong sense of what might be heading down the pike. Do some research early in the day, and look at your alternatives before a situation becomes more toxic. Trust in your ability to lead and to straighten out a problem. Tonight: Out until the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ##### Listen to a partner or dear friend. This person’s vision is much different from yours, but that does not disqualify his or her perspective. In fact, you can learn from this association. Greater clarity comes forward after you take a step back. Tonight: Detach, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) #### Others clearly dominate, and you would be well advised to follow their lead. The smart move here is to say nothing and be gracious. One-on-one relating is highlighted later in the day. What has been a problem in the past can now be resolved. Tonight: Visit over dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ### While others may be distracted by interpersonal issues, you clearly want to dig your heels into a project and get it done. Others’ minds seem to be elsewhere. You will see communication work better tomorrow or the next day. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news and gossip!

NEW YORK — East Coast residents who made the most of a paralyzing weekend blizzard face fresh challenges as the workweek begins: slippery roads, spotty transit service and mounds of snow that buried cars and blocked sidewalk entrances. For many, the weekend extends into today because of closed schools and government offices. Officials were cautioning against unnecessary driving, even as they expected some commuter trains to be delayed or canceled. The storm dropped snow from the Gulf Coast to New England, with near-record snowfalls tallied from Washington, D.C. to New York City. At least 30 deaths were blamed on the weather, with shoveling snow and breathing carbon monoxide together claiming almost as many lives as car crashes. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin was on a rescheduled pre-dawn flight from Springfield, Illinois, to Chicago while on the way to Washington this morning. The Illinois Democrat said he’s not even sure he’ll be able to get to D.C. today, but he’s been through this before. “Most of us who spend part of our lives in Washington know to expect the worst when it comes to snow,” he said. “I knew the forecast was enough to cause a problem.” The snow began Friday, and the last flakes fell just before midnight Saturday. In its aftermath, crews raced all day Sunday to clear streets and sidewalks devoid of their usual bustle. Sunday’s brilliant sunshine and gently rising temperatures provided a respite from the blizzard that dropped a record 29.2 inches on Baltimore. The weekend timing could not have been better, enabling many to enjoy a gorgeous winter day. It was just right for a huge snowball fight in Baltimore, where more than 600 people responded to organizer Aaron Brazell’s invite on Facebook. “I knew people would be cooped up in their houses and wanting to come outside,” said Brazell, who was beaned by multiple blasts of perfectly soft but firm snow. But one day of sunshine wasn’t enough to clear many roads. Cars parked in neighborhoods were encased in snow, some of it pushed from the streets by plows. In downtown Philadelphia, some sidewalk entrances were blocked by mounds of snow. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio encouraged people to leave their plowed-in cars all week after a one-day record of 26.6 inches fell in Central Park. That advice came too late for Bob Raldiris, who tried shoveling his Nissan Maxima out of a spot in Ridgewood, Queens, before passing plows and trucks spoiled his labor. “This is terrible,” he said, pointing to a pile of snow three feet high. Federal offices will be closed Monday, and Virginia’s state workers were told to stay home. Schools from Washington to the Jersey Shore gave students today off; In the D.C. suburbs, classes also were canceled for Tuesday. New York’s transit authority said partial service on the Long Island Rail Road was restored on three of its 12 branches and diesel train service was operating on three other branches. The problems were due to switches and tracks that were refrozen overnight due to low temperatures. New York City subways, buses and MetroNorth Railroad service were operating on a normal schedule today. Broadway reopened after going dark at the last minute during the snowstorm, but museums remained closed in Washington, and the House of Representatives postponed votes until February, citing the storm’s impact on travel. Flying remained particularly messy after nearly 12,000 weekend flights were canceled. Airports resumed limited service in New York City, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, which said it got an entire winter’s snow in two days. Washington-area airports remained closed Sunday after the punishing blizzard.
