Southern preschool will have registration April 9-10 at Southern Elementary School. Parents should call the school to schedule appointments for the screenings at 949-4222. Parents will need to bring their child’s birth certificate, social security card, shot records and the child entering either of the programs. Parents of current kindergarten students are reminded that students will not attend school April 6-7 and that current preschool students will not attend school April 91-10. “Begindergarten” bags, part of Southern’s Title I program, will be handed out to each family. The bags include activities and supplies that provide essential concepts and skills designed for meaningful curricula and intentional learning experiences. The activity bag provides future students learning opportunities for a success- ful kindergarten year. Parents should work with their children on these skills throughout the spring and summer. The school would like to reiterate the necessity of bringing your child to the screening. Also, in response to the “No Child Left Behind” law, Southern Local Title I once again will sponsor a Pre-Begindergarten Bag. The Pre-Begindergarten bag is designed to help preschool children meet the Ohio Department of Education’s learning content standards. The “bags” are provided by Southern Local Title I Program. Students may get their immunizations at the Meigs County Health Department on “Tuesdays” from 9-11 or 1-3. If you have any questions, call the school at 740-949-4222. Roads closed after Tuesday mudslide By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — Pomeroy was still cleaning up from Thursday’s snow emergency when a mudslide occurred at 4:05 p.m. Tuesday on Lincoln Terrace, according to the Pomeroy Police Department. The mud fell onto Butternut Avenue, but no injuries were reported. Authorities were called when residents noticed the hillside looked as if it might be unstable. As onlookers watched, a large section of the hillside gave way, taking down trees and power lines. An adjacent section of the hillside is threatening to fall, and the road will remain closed until the hillside is stabilized. “The road will remain closed until further notice,” said Village Administrator Paul Hellman. He had no further comment and said he was not at liberty to speak about the situation at this time. Trees, power lines and mud were removed from the road by early Wednesday morning. According to Steve Pullins, of Pullins Excavating, 500 tons of dirt were removed. Pullins said excavators are having difficulty finding sites to dispose of the dirt, as the ground must be stable enough to support the weight of the trucks.

Yacoub Associated Press BAGHDAD — Iraqi soldiers and allied Shiite militiamen swept into the Islamic State-held city of Tikrit on Wednesday, launching a two-front offensive to squeeze extremists out of Saddam Hussein’s hometown in a major test of the troops’ resolve. Explosions and heavy gunfire echoed through Tikrit, a key way station for Iraqi forces trying to expel the militants who hold roughly a third of the country and neighboring Syria. The offensive also will serve as a major crucible for Iraqi forces, which collapsed under the extremists’ initial offensive last year and now face street-by-street fighting in one of the Islamic State group’s biggest strongholds. Allied Iraqi forces first entered the city through its northern Qadisiyya neighborhood, according to video obtained by The Associated Press. Overhead, an attack helicopter fired missiles as soldiers and militiamen laid down heavy machine gunfire in the neighborhood’s dusty streets as downtown Tikrit loomed in the distance, black smoke rising overhead. Officials quickly established a supply line through the neighborhood to reinforce troops, Salahuddin police Brig. Kheyon Rasheed told the state-run Iraqiyya television. Authorities offered no immediate casualty figures, though Iran’s state-run Press TV satellite channel reported that a mortar attack wounded one of its cameramen there. A local official in Iraq’s Salahuddin province confirmed that Iraqi troops entered Qadisiyya and raised the Iraqi flag over Tikrit’s general hospital. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief journalists. Later Wednesday, allied forces also swept into Tikrit from the south in a pincer movement to squeeze out militants, though some suggested many already fled in the face of the advance, codenamed “At your service, prophet of Allah.” “The terrorists are seizing the cars of civilians trying to leave the city and they are trying to make a getaway,” Rasheed said. Tikrit, the capital of Salahuddin province, sits on the Tigris River about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad. Several of Saddam’s palaces remain there, as do remnants of his now-outlawed Baathist party. Many believe party members assisted the Islamic State group in its offensive last summer. After the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, insurgent Baathists in Tikrit launched attacks on American forces. The same could happen to incoming Iraqi forces, who already faced sniper fire and heavily mined roads. Taking Tikrit would open a supply line for a future operation to besiege Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city that remains under Islamic State control. U.S. military officials have that said a mission to retake Mosul likely will begin in April or May and involve up to 25,000 Iraqi troops. But the Americans have cautioned the offensive could be delayed. Iranian military advisers have been helping guide Iraqi forces in their advance on Tikrit. Speaking Wednesday on Capitol Hill, U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey described the militias as “Iranian trained and somewhat Iranian equipped.” Among those directing operations is Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of the powerful Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force. Frontline images have emerged of the general in recent days, showing him smiling in plainclothes without a bulletproof vest. The overt Iranian role and the prominence of Shiite militias in the campaign have raised fears of possible sectarian cleansing should Tikrit, an overwhelmingly Sunni city, fall to the government troops. “Iranians will try to calm the fears of the Sunnis instead of persecuting them because the Iranian officials know that it is in their best interest to keep the Iraq united,” said Hadi Jalo, a Baghdad-based political analyst. “For the Iranians, it is easier to dominate one country instead of three separate states.” The U.S. says its allied coalition carrying out airstrikes targeting the extremists has not been involved in the ongoing Tikrit offensive. Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has appealed for more aid for his country’s beleaguered ground forces, though the U.S. spent billions of dollars training and equipping Iraq’s army during its eight-year occupation. A senior U.S. military official told the AP that as of June 2014, the Iraqi military stood at 125,000 men at best, down from 205,000 in January 2014. Iraqi officials now say that at least 30,000 men — including the military, militias, Sunni tribes and police — are fighting to capturing Tikrit. Dempsey said Wednesday that at least 20,000 militiamen are taking part. Most battlefield successes in Iraq have been coordinated efforts, with Iraqi and Kurdish forces and Shiite militias fighting on the ground and the U.S.-led coalition providing air power. The siege on the village of Amirli just north of Baghdad, when many feared the capital itself might fall, was broken last year with the help of U.S.-led airstrikes and a fighting force of mainly Shiite militias. Shiite militiamen backed by a coalition air campaign also retook the town of Jurf al-Sukhr, on Baghdad’s outskirts, in October.

But he struggled to manage a local crisis that turned into an international event and explain his decision-making at news conferences disrupted by angry protesters and grieving community members. Then the Justice Department issued its report, which found that Ferguson’s police and court systems functioned as a moneymaking enterprise rather than one meant to ensure public safety. The report found black drivers in Ferguson were more than twice as likely as others to be searched during routine traffic stops and more likely to face excessive force from police, often during unwarranted stops. Investigators also noted that Ferguson was counting on revenues from fines and fees to generate nearly a quarter of its total $13.3 million budget for the 2015 fiscal year. Many residents ended up in jail after missing court dates or failing to pay fines for minor violations. The report also uncovered evidence that three employees — a court clerk and two police officers — had sent racist emails. The clerk was fired last week and two officers resigned. The judge who oversaw the court system also resigned and the City Council on Tuesday agreed to a separation agreement with the city manager. AP sues department, seeking record access By Steve Peoples Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Associated Press on Wednesday sued the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. The legal action follows repeated requests filed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act that have gone unfulfilled. They include one request the AP made five years ago and others pending since the summer of 2013.

What will it take to improve that statistic? Some say fiscal discipline — individuals’ willingness to budget properly so they have enough money to invest for retirement. While we agree that everyone needs to set financial priorities, lack of fiscal discipline is only part of the story when it comes to retirement funding gaps. For too many Americans, their earnings are simply too low to cover their monthly necessities and put aside money for their golden years. Indeed, recent surveys found that most Americans aren’t meeting their goals for retirement savings because of other financial responsibilities. It’s probably no accident that this shortage is happening in an era of largely stagnant wages and the fading of pensions. It used to be that young workers could count on the escalator of future wage gains to raise their standard of living and provide a financial cushion for retirement. But today, pay is largely stagnant, guaranteed pensions in the private sector are rare, and job creation has mostly occurred in low-wage fields. Unless that situation is turned around with economic reforms, only the well-off — not the majority — will be able to achieve retirement security. To enable the kind of saving and investing needed for broad retirement security, the nation needs an economy that supports something more than mere subsistence. It needs rewarding careers for the many, not the few. It needs an educational and cultural structure that prepares people for these opportunities. The nation needs robust infrastructure — a powerful job creator — as well as tax and regulatory approaches that generate rather than inhibit economic activity. It needs a decent safety net, so that temporary setbacks don’t turn into permanent poverty. It is imperative to preserve the integrity of Social Security and Medicare, which are crucial underpinnings of the current retirement system. As AARP has noted, “Social Security is and will continue to be the main source of income for lowand moderate-wage retirees.” Many workers do not have the option of retirement savings plans through their employers. Experts say more people would save if they had automatic payroll deductions — even if employers do not match the contribution — but the process needs to be simplified for small businesses that cannot afford high administrative costs. It’s important to remember that retirement is not a senior-citizens-only subject. We are all “aging,” every day, and the young — especially those preparing for and newly entering the workforce — have just as much at stake as older people. In short, retirement security is really about jobs — good ones that provide the kind of income that covers not just the living costs of today, but the savings needed down the road, long after the paychecks cease.

Same with those of For this to have been an innothe conservative groups Citizens United and America Rising. The surest way in Washington to have a Freedom of Information Act request go unanswered was to make one of the self-described most transparent person in American public life. Recently, Clinton turned over to the State Department 55,000 pages of emails, and now she says she wants them released. But it is her flunkies who decided what to give the department. This is transparency Clinton-style. The defense from Clinton world has been that everyone conducts official business on private email, so what’s the big deal? But her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, and her successor, John Kerry, both managed to use government accounts. Colin Powell used a personal account — which was wrong, too, although it was prior to National Archives regulations in 2009 clarifying rules for preservation of private emails when used for official business. Hillary Clinton clearly trampled all over those rules. The legal debate is now whether she merely violated the spirit of the law or actually broke it, the perpetual question with the Clintons. If Democrats have liked what they’ve seen from Hillary the past couple of weeks, they should relish the prospect of the next two years, when any revelation can instantly put them back in Clinton scandal-defense mode. This is the future they are choosing, apparently without even bothering to consider an alternative with less baggage or higher standards.

MARIETTA — The Ohio Department of Transportation District 10 was awarded two Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards from Flexible Pavements of Ohio, an association for the development, improvement and advancement of quality asphalt pavement construction. The awards were recently handed out at the Ohio Asphalt Expo. “These awards reflect the commitment and partnership between our design and construction team and the contractor to advance a high-quality paving project that improves safety,” said District 10 Deputy Director T. Steve Williams. The two projects include the nearly 5 mile $2.4 million resurfacing of State Route 7 in Monroe County from Clarington to SR 536, and the $1.5 million resurfacing of U.S. Route 33 in Athens County, beginning at the Nelsonville corporation limit and extending for nearly four and a half miles. During the 2014 construction season, ODOT District 10 invested more than $40 million upgrading and enhancing pavement throughout southeast Ohio. During the Asphalt Expo, 29 total projects were recognized as representing the highest quality in asphalt paving in 2014. The winning projects represent a diverse spectrum of pavement types from Ohio interstate system to rural roadways, airport runways and commercial facilities.

(AP) — Kurt Busch was cleared Wednesday to get back in his race car and attempt to rebuild a career that was halted two days before the Daytona 500 when NASCAR suspended him for allegedly assaulting his exgirlfriend. Busch missed the season’s first three races during the suspension, the third of his career. In reinstating the 2004 champion, NASCAR ruled he will be eligible for the title-deciding Chase should he qualify. He will return to competition this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway in the No. 41 Chevrolet for StewartHaas Racing. Still, he remains on indefinite probation. “We have made it very clear to Kurt Busch our expectations for him moving forward, which includes participation in a treatment program and full compliance with all judicial requirements as a result of his off-track behavior,” NASCAR executive vice president Steve O’Donnell said. Busch was suspended Feb. 20 when a Delaware judge ruled he likely assaulted ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll in his motorhome in September at Dover International Speedway. He lost two rounds of appeals on the eve of the season-opening Daytona 500. Last week, the Delaware attorney general declined to charge Busch for the incident with Driscoll — a move O’Donnell said “removed a significant impediment” to Busch’s reinstatement. Busch has also complied with NASCAR’s reinstatement requirements, the terms of which have not been disclosed. “He has fully complied with our reinstatement program during his suspension and the health care expert who conducted his evaluation recommended his immediate return,” O’Donnell said. Driscoll questioned NASCAR’s decision to make Busch championship-eligible this season. “I’m deeply concerned about the message NASCAR is sending by letting him compete for the championship after he was found by a judge to have committed an act of domestic violence,” Driscoll said in a statement. “But I am gratified, at least, that NASCAR’s decision comes with the mandatory condition that he follow through on the treatment he so clearly needs.” SHR general manager Joe Custer credited Busch for working with NASCAR toward reinstatement. “He has taken this path seriously, which allowed him to return to our race team,” Custer said. “With his reinstatement and the conclusion by the Delaware Attorney General to not file charges, our focus is on the future.” Busch’s return was also cleared by Chevrolet, which had suspended its relationship with Busch. SHR is a Chevrolet team, and Jim Campbell, vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports, said the manufacturer “will continue to monitor the situation.” Team co-owner Gene Haas had indicated on Sunday the team’s top concern was Busch’s championship eligibility. The new Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format introduced last season gives drivers an automatic berth into the 16-driver field with a victory during the regular season. But, a driver must be ranked inside the top 30 in points to use that automatic berth. Busch currently has no points in the No. 41 Chevrolet, a car Haas pays for out of pocket specifically for Busch. It was Haas who gave Busch the opportunity to resurrect his career as one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR. The 36-year-old has a history of blowups on and off the track that date back to his rookie season. He was suspended in 2012 by NASCAR for threatening a reporter, and parked for the final two races of the 2005 season by Roush-Fenway Racing after he was pulled over by police in Arizona. Haas, wanting a driver who could take his machine tool manufacturing company to victory lane, offered Busch See NASCAR | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, March 12 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 3 p.m. Friday, March 13 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 10 a.m. College softball Asbury at Rio Grande (DH) 3 p.m. College track and field Rio Grande at Coastal Carolina, TBA Saturday, March 14 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 10 a.m. College baseball Purdue-North Central at Rio Grande, 10 a.m. College softball Asbury at Rio Grande (DH) 1 p.m. College track and field Rio Grande at Coastal Carolina Will Ferrell to play for Reds Actor to star in HBO special partnering with MLB to film in five ballparks Courtesy photo Will Ferrell’s number 19 Reds jersey hangs in the Cincinatti spring training locker room.

Middleport Youth League signups Willis retires after injury By Janie McCauley AP Sports Writer SANTA CLARA, Calif. — His eyes swollen from crying and reciting scripture as he spoke of retirement, five-time All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis bid farewell to football and called it one of his happiest days yet because he is leaving on his own terms. His tender size-13 feet — “12½ when they’re bent” — can no longer handle the grind of NFL practices let alone the demands of game day. Willis announced Tuesday he will retire after his 2014 season was cut short by a toe injury that required surgery and because of sore feet that make everything more of a challenge for the seventime Pro Bowler. “In my head, I’m already a Hall of Famer,” Willis said. “I am leaving this with closure, saying that I am happy today, more happy today than I was the day I was drafted. That says something to me.” San Francisco is losing its defensive captain and locker room leader, the player who often addressed the team before games with inspirational pep talks. Willis isn’t saying exactly what’s next — perhaps a vacation, some speaking gigs, working with kids, a day of fishing, slow mornings with a cup of coffee instead of an intense workout. “I have no regrets. I’ve had the most amazing eight years of football of my life. I am so humbled to have had this opportunity. I’ve been so humbled to have played this game.” Willis and friend NaVorro Bowman had made up one of the best 1-2 linebacker punches in the NFL until both missed time last season, the entire season for Bowman as he recovered from reconstructive knee surgery. Now, Willis walks away without a Super Bowl ring that was so close following the 2012 season, when the 49ers lost by three points to the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans. “I’m saying to myself, ‘Man, I’d love nothing more than to win a Super Bowl, I would love nothing more than to bring No. 6 back here,’” Willis said. “I would love nothing more than to be able to lace up them cleats and not worry, ‘Are my feet going to be all right today just to practice so I don’t look old at 30?’” The 30-year-old Willis was sidelined with a strained muscle in his left big toe. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Nov. 11 after getting hurt in the third quarter at St. Louis on Oct. 13. “These feet, boy, boy, boy, I’ve made no excuses,” said Willis, who notes his feet “spoke” to him. “When you don’t have no feet, that’s what has made me what I am. I no longer have in these feet to give you guys that kind of ‘Wow.’” Late Monday, Willis posted on social media a message that hinted at his farewell from football and included a series of references to Bible verses. Willis had missed six games in his career before this latest injury sidelined him for the final 10 games of 2014 for San Francisco, which struggled to an 8-8 finish without him and missed the playoffs for the first time in four years. About a half-dozen of his 49ers teammates attended his news conference at Levi’s Stadium. Willis regularly wiped his eyes with a tissue. Willis signed autographs for fans outside team headquarters and thanked the regular media who covered him. “He redefined his position,” coach Jim Tomsula said. “That’s a different man. Pat changed a lot of lives here. Pat will change a lot of lives. ... I’ve never heard Pat Willis complain.” The NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2007 after being drafted 11th overall out of Mississippi, Willis started 112 games and had 950 tackles with 20½ sacks in eight seasons. Willis also had eight interceptions — two returned for touchdowns — 16 forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 53 passes defensed. As word spread Monday that Willis was contemplating retirement, his former teammates and opponents took to Twitter in tribute to No. 52. “Still have a chipped tooth from (at)PatrickWillis52 knocking me out. Congrats on a GREAT career man! Not a nicer guy out there!” quarterback Matt Leinart said. “Without a doubt the greatest man/leader/ friend/teammate (at)PatrickWillis52 my hero!” wrote former teammate and running back Marcus Lattimore, who was forced out of the game by knee injuries last year. Both 49ers CEO Jed York and GM Trent Baalke spoke directly to Willis from the podium. “Obviously, this is a bittersweet day for the San Francisco 49ers,” York said. “Pat, we’re going to miss you, we love you, we thank you for everything.” THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 4 6 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WPBY) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 27 (LIFE) 29 (FAM) 30 (SPIKE) 31 (NICK) 34 (USA) 35 (TBS) 37 (CNN) 38 (TNT) 39 (AMC) 40 (DISC) 42 (A&E) 52 (ANPL) 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)

By Richard Rosenblatt Associated Press Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte was moved to a hospital closer to his home in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, a day after his legs were broken when the van he was driving hit an icy patch of road and flipped on its side. Turcotte’s spokesman Leonard Lusky said Wednesday that the transfer “is good” and Turcotte is still resting comfortably. The 73-year-old Turcotte, who rode Secretariat to the Triple Crown in 1973, has been paralyzed from the waist down after a racing spill in 1978.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Const. Yannick Pelletier said the accident occurred Tuesday morning. He said the snow-covered roads were slippery at the time and the accident is under investigation. “It could have been a lot worse,” Lusky said. “I think he’s doing well.” On Tuesday night, Lusky said Turcotte was “in good spirits and still has his sense of humor.” He said Turcotte and his family “appreciate the well wishes and concern of fans and the Thoroughbred racing community.” Lusky, who operates the website secretariat.com, said Turcotte asked his doctors to fit him with one blue cast and one white cast — to represent the blue and white silks of Secretariat’s Meadow Stable. Turcotte is best known as the rider of the great dream of a college education. An important part of the fund-raising efforts will be game-used memorabilia from Ferrell’s journey across the five ballparks to be auctioned online later in the year on MLB.com, with proceeds being donated to Cancer for College as well as Stand Up To Cancer, a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research. MLB is the founding donor of Stand Up To Cancer. Ferrell’s historic day will before Haas extended the olive branch. Busch has 25 career wins, but only one since 2011. It came last year, his first season with SHR, and qualified him for the Secretariat, who swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes in 1973 to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1948. Turcotte also won the 1972 Derby and Belmont aboard Riva Ridge. Secretariat’s rise to superstardom was re-created in the movie “Secretariat,” released in 2010. It told the story of Penny Chenery taking over Meadow Stable and hiring trainer Lucien Laurin, who then called on Turcotte to ride the horse known as “Big Red.” Turcotte won more than 3,000 races during his career, which ended in 1978 when the jockey tumbled from his horse at the start of a race at Belmont Park. In the ‘73 Belmont, Turcotte was aboard for perhaps the greatest ride — and greatest race call — in history.

Turcotte has appeared at Triple Crown events in recent years, and traveled the country in support of disabled jockeys. After the movie was released, Turcotte talked about his ride through the Triple Crown. “The greatest race was the Preakness,” he told the AP in a 2010 interview. “I could have won by 15 lengths if I’d wanted to.” In the Belmont, “he had such a nice, rhythmic stride. He was just covering ground. He was doing it so easy. When he (Anderson) called me 20 lengths in front, I could see the crowd and hear the roar.” Athletics in a game against the California Angels. Campaneris is expected to be there with Ferrell as he begins his journey tomorrow. The Reds and Diamondbacks agreed to move the start time for tomorrow’s game.

Busch still must comply with guidelines set by Family Court Commissioner David Jones, who granted the no-contact order for Driscoll that led to his Feb. 20 suspension, two days before the season-opening race at Daytona. Jones wrote in his opinion that he believed there’s real pos- sibility Busch will lash out again and has a propensity to lose control in response to disappointing or frustrating situations involving racing. Jones ordered Busch to be evaluated to see if there is a “treatable mental health condition.” He also said Busch must follow any suggested treatment plans. Busch is appealing Jones’ ruling.

Perched on the edge of a massive payday as a coveted free agent in a thin market, Worilds chose retirement instead. “After much thought & consideration I have chosen to step away from football as I have opted to pursue other interests,” the 27-year-old Worilds tweeted Tuesday night. Worilds had 25½ sacks with the Steelers, including a team-high 7½ last season while helping the team to an 11-5 record and the AFC North title. He played last season under a one-year transitional tag deal that paid him $9.75 million. He said in EOE M/F/D/V CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals solidified their linebacker position by agreeing to a two-year deal with free agent A.J. Hawk and tendering an offer to Emmanuel Lamur on Tuesday. They also offered a one-year deal to defensive tackle Devon Still, whose daughter is fighting cancer. Still will have to decide whether to stay in Cincinnati while his 4-year-old daughter, Leah, is treated on the East Coast. Hawk, a nine-year veteran, grew up in Ohio and attended Ohio State. He visited the Bengals as free agency started on Tuesday, and agent Mike McCartney tweeted that they’d reached agreement on a two-year deal. The Bengals didn’t confirm the agreement. Linebacker was one of Cincinnati’s priorities for improving in the offseason. Rey Maualuga agreed to a three-year deal last week, avoiding free agency. Vontaze Burfict missed most of last season with concussions and torn knee cartilage and had two knee operations, leaving his status uncertain. Lamur is a restricted free agent who can negotiate with other teams, but the Bengals can match any offer. Lamur moved into a starter’s role last season, when Burfict and Maualuga missed significant time with injuries. He ranked third on the team with 90 tackles, intercepted two passes and knocked down seven throws. The Bengals also tendered cornerback Chris Lewis-Harris, the Bengals retained their rights to the third-year player. He played in 10 games over the past two seasons, mostly on special teams. Still played in 12 games last season and had 19 tackles without a sack or interception. He flew back to Philadelphia to visit his daughter whenever possible. By offering Still a oneyear deal rather than making a tender offer, the tackle has more flexibility in choosing his future. The Bengals said Still is considering the one-year offer “based upon what is happening with his family.” Leah Still was diagnosed with pediatric cancer and had a tumor removed from her abdomen. She had her latest course of chemotherapy in late February. The Bengals helped with a campaign to sell Still’s jersey for $100 apiece, with the money going to research for pediatric cancer. More than $1 million has been raised.
