Sayre, 73 Margaret Stewart, 56 50 cents daily TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 Vol. 63, No. 41 County to hold meeting on constitutional rights Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — The right to bear arms, a right guaranteed to America’s people by the United States Constitution, has come under scrutiny following the December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Many people throughout the nation have strong opinions on the topic, leading people to wonder what the future of gun ownership may look like. The second amendment to the United States Constitution reads, A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. That right is also guaranteed to citizens of the State of Ohio in Article 1, Section 4 of the Ohio Constitution which reads, The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be kept up; and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. The amendments to both the U.S. and Ohio constitutions will be the topic of a meeting to be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 15 in the Meigs County Common Pleas Courtroom on the third floor of the Meigs County Courthouse. Friday’s meeting will be host- ed by the Meigs County Commissioners. The town hall meeting will allow residents to discuss constitutional rights, specifically the second amendment. Following the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut — which killed six adults and 20 children, all under the age of 10 — President Barack Obama selected Vice President Joe Biden to head a task force to make recommendation on curbing gun violence. A proposal from Obama, following the task force recommendation, includes universal background checks, along with a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. According to President of the Board of Commissioners Tim Ihle, the meeting will allow for the public to speak directly with the commissioners regarding a possible resolution in support of preserving the second amendment right to bear arms.

Meigs 4-Hers kick off year’s activities POMEROY — A kick-off to this year’s 4-H program featured an open house at Eastern Elementary School with more than a hundred people coming out to learn what’s new in programming this year. Information stations were set up for several 4-H project areas including: Ohio Birds, Grilling, Cake Decorating, Small Animals, Horses and Cloverbuds (5-8 yearold members). Stations were also set up for youth and parents to learn more about camp, including the new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Camp that will be held at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp this summer. The members of the Meigs County Fashion Board helped youth make braided dog toys out of scrap fleece, some of which will be donated the local Humane Society. 4-H is one of the largest youth development programs in the world, with 4-H members in all 50 states and more than 80 countries around the world. 4-H allows youth to learn at their own pace, about subjects that interest them, and with over 200 projects available to take in Ohio, there is something for everyone. 4-H Clubs are led by screened and trained volunteers who give of their own time to help youth become caring, competent and contributing members of society. On March 9, four teens and two adults from Meigs County attended the Ohio Teen/Volunteer Con- ference in Columbus. The event brings together members, volunteers and supporters from all over the state for a fun day of learning and growing. Next is Counselor College, where our teens who will be serving as Camp Counselors at Canter’s Cave 4-H Camp this summer will receive much of their training. Deposits for Camp are now being taken. Quality Assurance Training for all of our members planning to exhibit animals at the Meigs County Fair will be held on March 19, 23, April 8 (Horse QA) and 25. 4-H Club enrollments will be completed by April 1. Anyone are interested in the program, can check the website at www.meigs.osu.edu or call the office at 992-6696.

Manual released as National Sunshine Week begins Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has released his office’s 2013 edition of “Ohio Sunshine Laws: An Open Government Resource Manual,” also known as the “Yellow Book.” The release of the updated manual coincides with the start of National Sunshine Week, taking place from March 10-16. “Part of our mission to protect Ohio families includes protecting the public’s right to know and to hold their government accountable,” said DeWine. “The Ohio Attorney General’s Office offers many resources to help Ohioans access open government, including our Sunshine Laws Manual, Sunshine Laws trainings and our Public Records Mediation Program.” The Sunshine Laws Manual provides summary of Revised Code provisions and case law regarding Ohio Public Records Law and Open Meetings Law. The 2013 edition includes updates on recent open government legal decisions and law changes. It can be accessed at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/YellowBook. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office offers multiple Sunshine Laws trainings throughout the year. Elected officials are required to either attend training or send a records representative to the training once per elected term. These trainings are free to attend and are open to the public and news media. A list of upcoming trainings can be found at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/SunshineLawTraining. Established less than a year ago, the Ohio Attorney General’s Public Records Mediation Program provides opportunities for records requesters and local governments to resolve records disputes prior to a lawsuit. Fiftynine requests for mediation have been made to date, with 23 matters being able to be resolved prior to mediation. Seven mediations have been completed, six successfully. In the requests for mediation that met program criteria and where the persons requesting the mediation chose to pursue their request to resolve the matter, the program has fully resolved 32 of the 38 disputes, or 84 percent. “The Public Records Mediation Program has been a win-win for both local governments and those requesting records,” DeWine said. “Requesters get the information they seek and taxpayers avoid costly litigation.” �Tuesday, March 12, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 2 www.mydailysentinel.com Community Calendar Local Briefs Tuesday, March 12 CHESTER TWP. — Chester Township Trustees will meet at 7 p.m. at the town hall.

On Tuesday, the State Board of Education is poised to conclude its second superintendent’s search in as many years with a choice between two finalists: Acting State Superintendent Michael Sawyers, and Richard Ross, top education adviser to Gov. John Kasich. Final interviews were scheduled for Monday, a day ahead of the expected vote by the 19-member board. Two years ago, after Superintendent Deborah Delisle left the job under political pressure, a search for her replacement ended in the surprise pick of Interim Superintendent Stan Heffner — after several candidates, including another Kasich education adviser, dropped out of the running. Heffner ended up resigning amid ethical questions about his relationship with an educational testing contractor. Inspector General Randall Meyer found he had used state email and cellphone accounts to land the job with the testing firm, assigned his state-paid executive secretary to book flights related to the job hunt and used state equipment to send documents for his new home purchase in Texas. �Tuesday, March 12, 2013 The Daily Sentinel • Page 3 www.mydailysentinel.com Death Notices Bailes Sadie E.

Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald said Monday that he’s concerned about the direction the state is headed under Republican Gov. John Kasich. Kasich ousted former Gov. Ted Strickland in 2010 in one of Ohio’s most expensive governor’s races. The firstterm governor says he plans to run again. He’s raised more than $2.7 million over the past two years and has $2.1 million on hand. FitzGerald, a former FBI agent and Lakewood mayor, was elected in 2010 to lead a new county executive-council government in Ohio’s most populous county to replace a scandal-plagued commissioner form. Monday’s move allows FitzGerald to raise money without formally declaring his candidacy.

It frequently cited the need to protect national security and internal deliberations. The AP’s analysis showed the government released all or portions of the information that citizens, journalists, businesses and others sought at about the same rate as the previous three years. It turned over all or parts of the records in about 65 percent of all requests. It fully rejected more than one-third of requests, a slight increase over 2011, including cases when it couldn’t find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper. The AP examined more than 5,600 data elements measuring the administration’s performance on government transparency since Obama’s election. People submitted more than 590,000 requests for information in fiscal 2012 — an increase of less than 1 percent over the previous year. Including leftover requests from previous years, the government responded to more requests than ever in 2012 — more than 603,000 — a 5 percent increase for the second consecutive year. When the government withheld or censored records, it cited exceptions built into the law to avoid turning over materials more than 479,000 times, a roughly 22 percent increase over the previous year. In most cases, more than one of the law’s exceptions was cited in each request for information. The government’s responsiveness under the FOIA is widely viewed as a barometer of the federal offices’ transparency. Under the law, citizens and foreigners can compel the government to turn over copies of federal records for zero or little cost. Anyone who seeks information through the law is generally supposed to get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose business secrets or confidential decision-making in certain areas. The AP’s review comes at the start of the second term for Obama, who promised during his first week in office that the nation’s signature openrecords law would be “administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails.” The review examined figures from the largest federal departments and agencies. Sunday was the start of Sunshine Week, when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information. In a year of intense public interest over deadly U.S. drones, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, terror threats and more, the government cited national security to withhold information at least 5,223 times — a jump over 4,243 such cases in 2011 and 3,805 cases in Obama’s first year in office. The secretive CIA last year became even more secretive: Nearly 60 percent of 3,586 requests for files were withheld or censored for that reason last year, compared with 49 percent a year earlier. U.S. courts are loath to overrule the administration whenever it cites national security.

She cited an “Alice in Wonderland” predicament in which she was expected to determine what information should be revealed but unable to challenge the government’s secrecy claim. Part of her ruling was sealed and made available only to the government’s lawyers. “I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules — a veritable Catch-22,” the judge wrote. “I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the executive branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret.” The AP could not determine whether the administration was abusing the national security exemption or whether the public was asking for more documents about sensitive subjects. Nearly half the Pentagon’s 2,390 denials last year under that clause came from its National Security Agency, which monitors Internet traffic and phone calls worldwide. “FOIA is an imperfect law, and I don’t think that’s changed over the last four years since Obama took office,” said Alexander Abdo, an ACLU staff attorney for its national security project. “We’ve seen a meteoric rise in the number of claims to protect secret law, the government’s interpretations of laws or its understanding of its own authority. In some ways, the Obama administration is actually even more aggressive on secrecy than the Bush administration.” The Associated Press NEW YORK — At barbecue joints, coffee counters and bottle-service nightclubs, a coming clampdown on big, sugary soft drinks is beginning to take shape on tables and menus in a city that thrives on eating and going out. Some restaurants are ordering smaller glasses. Dunkin’ Donuts shops are telling customers they’ll have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the new rules, and a bowling lounge is squeezing carrot and beet juice as a potential substitute for pitchers of soda at family parties — all in preparation for the nation’s first limit on the size of sugar-laden beverages, set to take effect Tuesday. Some businesses are holding off, hoping a court challenge nixes or at least delays the restriction. But many are getting ready for tasks including reprinting menus and changing movie theaters’ supersized sodaand-popcorn deals. At Brother Jimmy’s BBQ, customers still will be able to order margaritas by the pitcher, cocktails in jumbo Mason jars and heaping plates of ribs. But they’ll no longer get 24-ounce tumblers of soda, since the new rule bars selling non-diet cola in cups, bottles or pitchers bigger than 16 ounces. “Everything we do is big, so serving it in a quaint little 16-ounce soda cups is going to look kind of odd,” owner Josh Lebowitz said. Nonetheless, he’s ordered 1,000 of them for the North Carolina-themed restaurant’s five Manhattan locations, rather than take on a fight that carries the threat of $200 fines. “As long as they keep allowing us to serve beer in glasses larger than 16 ounces, we’ll be OK,” Lebowitz reasoned. Beer drinkers can breathe easy: The restriction doesn’t apply to alcoholic beverages, among other exemptions for various reasons. But it does cover such beverages as energy drinks and sweetened fruit smoothies. City officials say it’s a pioneering, practical step to staunch an obesity rate that has risen from 18 to 24 percent in a decade among adult New Yorkers. Health officials say sugar-filled drinks bear much of the blame because they carry hundreds of calories — a 32-ounce soda has more than a typical fast-food cheeseburger — without making people feel full. The city “has the ability to do this and the obligation to try to help,” the plan’s chief cheerleader, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, said last month. Critics say the regulation won’t make a meaningful difference in diets but will unfairly hurt some businesses while sparing others. A customer who can’t get a 20-ounce Coke at a sandwich shop could Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

New Yorkers are divided on the restriction. A Quinnipiac University poll released last week found 51 percent opposed it, while 46 percent approved. “I don’t know if the state should be our surrogate parent,” Peter Sarfaty, 71, said as he drank a diet cola with lunch in Manhattan this week. “You get the information out there, but to tell people what they can or can’t do? As if it’s going to stop them.” Business organization ranging from the massive American Beverage Association to a local Korean-American grocers’ group have asked a judge to stop the size limit from taking effect until he decides on their bid to block it altogether. He hasn’t ruled on either request. Many businesses aren’t taking chances in the meantime. Dominic Fazio, the manager of a Penn Station pizzeria, has stopped ordering 32-ounce and 24-ounce cups, though he calls the regulation “ridiculous.” “But I guess the law is the law, right?” said Fazio, who put up an explanatory sign Coca-Cola Co. provided. The Atlantabased soda giant said in a statement that helping small businesses prepare was “the responsible thing to do.” Managers at rapper Jay-Z’s 40-40 Club were busy this week making sure they wouldn’t get in hot water over carafes of soda and other sweet mixers that accompany bottle service, spokeswoman Lauren Menache said. The carafes are slightly bigger than 16 ounces; city lawyers have indicated such containers should pass muster. Dunkin’ Donuts shops, meanwhile, have set out colorful fliers explaining the complex rules surrounding coffee. Lots of lattes are exempt because they’re more than half milk. And it’s OK for customers to load their large and extra-large coffees with all the sugar or sweet flavoring they want. But the chain will no longer do it for them, for fear of running over the limit of roughly three calories per ounce. Starbucks, meanwhile, believes most of its products won’t be affected and isn’t making any immediate changes, spokeswoman Linda Mills said. Even some businesses that specialize in big sodas aren’t making moves — yet — in light of the lawsuit and the city’s pledge not to impose fines until June. Until then, violations would just spur a notice. At Dallas BBQ, “Texas-size” 20-ounce sodas are staying for now, said Eric Levine, one of the directors. Switching to 16 ounces would mean ordering roughly 10,000 new glasses for the New York-based company’s 10 locations, including a Times Square spot that seats 1,000 people. And customers wouldn’t feel they were getting the same deal: double the soda for little more than the price of the 10-ounce size, Levine said.

The standard for a guilty verdict is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, “It is not beyond all doubt,” the prosecutor said. The case was headed to the jury for deliberations after closing arguments by both sides. Baumoel presented three possible theories for aggravated murder — planning the crimes, done with a kidnapping or done with a robbery. “This was clearly with prior calculation and design,” a component of the death penalty aggravated murder charge, Baumoel said. “He was the mastermind behind this plot.” Defense attorney James Burdon, in a closing statement to jurors, attacked the prosecution’s identify theft and robbery motives. Beasley was using one victim’s ID before the man was killed, Burdon said. “He didn’t have to lure him to southern Ohio to kill him,” Burdon said. Burdon said the victims had little to steal and suggested that undercut the prosecution’s robbery motive. One victim had to borrow $20 from his son to get to the farmhand job interview, Burdon said. There were no witnesses linking Beasley to the killings, according to Burdon. According to Burdon, Beasley was targeted by prosecutors because he posted the jobs offers for someone else. He called targeting Beasley a “hunch” by investigators. Beasley, an ex-convict and onetime street preacher, could face the death penalty if convicted. His 18-year-old co-defendant, Brogan Rafferty, was convicted As conclave approaches, Benedict XVI out of sight VATICAN CITY (AP) — As cardinals move to elect a new pope, the Vatican has seemed intent on getting people to forget the last one. Benedict XVI’s papacy ended last month with an act of great symbolism: Swiss Guards banged shut the giant doors of the papal palace in Castel Gandolfo at the strike of 8 p.m. Since then, Benedict has literally been kept out of sight, part of a calculated strategy to show he will play no role in selecting his successor. The emeritus pope has only been spotted once since retiring — in a photo snapped by a paparazzo hiding in a tree. Italian celebrity gossip magazine Chi, which carried the topless photos of Prince William’s wife last year, showed Benedict dressed in a white down coat and white baseball hat while taking an afternoon stroll with a cane in the castle gardens, accompanied by his faithful secretary, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein. These days, the Vatican rarely even speaks of Benedict. And only a few official details have trickled out on his life after the papacy: He slept well his first night as a former pope, celebrated Mass as usual in the morning and ate breakfast. The sparse details all seem to stem from fears over conflicts arising from having a reigning pope and a retired one. As part of the process of forgetting Benedict, the retired pontiff’s coat of arms were removed from a floral display in front of the Vatican’s governor’s palace, ready to be replaced by the coat of arms of the new pope. And the Vatican spokesman Monday was quick to dismiss any suggestion of possible contacts between Benedict and the cardinal electors, saying that none had sought him out since they had gathered in Rome. The Rev. Federico Lombardi said that Benedict won’t be getting any inside information about the conclave — and that he would probably follow the proceedings on TV and by reading newspapers. That’s a shift from the line taken just two days earlier, when Lombardi said Benedict is receiving regular briefings on cardinals’ meetings from Gaenswein. Nonetheless, Benedict is bound to cast a big shadow over the conclave. He named 67 of the 115 cardinals who will be voting, so some sense of loyalty may well influence their decisions about the successor. And some have bucked the Vatican line by striving to keep memories of Benedict alive. Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, considered a leading candidate himself, spoke openly of his affection for the retired pope during his homily Sunday evening at his titular church Gesu Divin Lavoratore in a blue collar neighborhood of Rome. He said Benedict’s retirement, “made me cry.” “He was my teacher,” said Schoenborn. “We worked together for over 40 years. It was a very difficult moment that has to be understood with trust and faith.” He also tried to stress that, despite reports of deep divisions, the conclave was going forward in a spirit of unity. Referring to a scandal about leaked papal documents, Schoenborn said: “I’m not doing ‘Vatileaks’ or breaking conclave secrecy when I tell you that I found a spirit of brotherhood like I have rarely experienced before in the meetings we cardinals have had over the past few days.” Any attempt to keep Benedict under wraps clearly touches on the sensitivities surrounding Vatican plans for secretary Gaenswein. Shortly before announcing his retirement, Benedict gave Gaenswein the additional title of prefect of the papal household, meaning he would work with the new pope during the day and stay with Benedict in the evening. That has raised speculation about possible secret messages being shuttled between the two popes. Heightening the intrigue over Benedict’s possible influence: Gaenswein will be inside the Sistine Chapel for part of the conclave in his new role as prefect. and sentenced last year to life in prison without chance of parole. Brogan was under 18 at the time of the crimes and was ineligible for the death penalty. Beasley said he knew nothing about the killings. “I had no idea that somebody, anybody, had been killed down on that farm. I had no way to know,” Beasley testified in his defense. Beasley denied involvement in the 2011 attacks and said that the lone survivor was sent to kill him in retaliation for being a police snitch in a motorcycle gang investigation in Akron. Prosecutors said Beasley and Brogan used the job postings as bait in a robbery plot aimed at down-on-their-luck victims with few family ties that might highlight their disappearance. The slain men were Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron; David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Va.; and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon. Rafferty has said the crimes were horrible but he didn’t see any chance to stop the killings. Rafferty said he feared Beasley would kill him and his relatives if he tipped off police. Beasley testified that he met with the surviving victim, Scott Davis, but said Davis was the one who pulled a gun in retaliation for Beasley’s role as a police informant in a motorcycle gang investigation. Davis, who was the star witness at Rafferty’s trial, also testified against Beasley. Davis testified that he fled into the woods in Noble County, about 60 miles east of Columbus, after hearing the click of a handgun, getting shot in the arm, and pushing the weapon aside. Police investigate Ohio crash that killed six teens WARREN, Ohio (AP) — Investigators spent Monday trying to piece together why eight teenagers were crammed into a speeding SUV without the owner’s permission when it flipped over into a pond, killing six of them. Authorities gave no details on where the group of friends had been and why they were out around daybreak Sunday. But the father of one of the dead said they were coming home from a sleepover at a friend’s house. No one in the group had asked to take the vehicle, and its owner was not related to any of the teens, said State Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt. It was registered to someone from Youngstown, about 20 miles away. “That’s all we know right now,” Holt said. State police said the SUV hit a guardrail on a two-lane road in an industrial section of town and landed upside down in about 5 feet of water, filling up in a matter of minutes, Holt said. Five boys and a young woman, ages 14 to 19, were killed. Two boys smashed a rear window, wriggled out of the wreckage and swam away, then ran a quarter-mile to a home to call 911, authorities said. Brian Henry, 18, and Asher Lewis, 15, suffered only minor injuries. Investigators said they believe excessive speed was a key factor in the crash, which took place in a 35 mph zone, but they did not say how fast the SUV was going. They were also awaiting the results of drug and alcohol tests. All eight teenagers were from Warren, a mostly blue-collar city of 41,000 near the Pennsylvania line, about 60 miles east of Cleveland. New Year New Career www.gallipoliscareercollege.edu 60396009 US expels two Venezuelan diplomats WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has expelled two Venezuelan diplomats in retaliation for Venezuela’s expulsion of two U.S. military attaches. Washington wants to repair ties with Venezuela after Hugo Chavez’s death but has made little headway so far. Shortly before Chavez died last week, Venezuela expelled two U.S. Air Force attaches in Caracas for alleged espionage. The Obama administration waited until after Chavez’s funeral on Friday to announce any reciprocal action. The U.S. action comes as Venezuela prepares for an April election to choose a new leader. On Saturday, junior Venezuelan diplomats Orlando Jose Montanez Olivares and Victor Camacaro Mata were ordered to return home, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters Monday. Montanez, an official at the embassy in Washington, and Camacaro, who served in Venezuela’s New York consulate, left the United States on Sunday. The U.S. expulsions amount to standard diplomatic retaliation. The two countries haven’t had ambassadors posted in each other’s capitals since 2010. Chavez rejected the U.S. nominee at the time, accusing him of making disrespectful remarks about the Venezuelan government. Washington then revoked the visa of Venezuela’s ambassador to the U.S. Beyond the diplomatic tit-for-tat, Venezuelan officials have ratcheted up the antiU.S. rhetoric of late, accusing Washington of responsibility for Chavez’s cancer. Administration officials declared themselves highly disappointed with Nicolas Maduro, the interim president and Chavez’s desired successor, for a news conference he gave last week as the Venezuelan’s health worsened. Comparing Chavez to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Maduro suggested that Chavez had been poisoned. In recent months, as Chavez’s health deteriorated, the administration sounded out Maduro in an attempt to improve relations that became badly strained during Chavez’s 14 years in power. Despite some positive feedback from a November telephone call with Roberta Jacobson, the top U.S. diplomat for Latin America, American officials see little possibility of a sudden improvement in relations with Venezuela given its upcoming election. Maduro is running against opposition leader Henrique Capriles. Officially, Washington hasn’t taken sides. It has focused its calls on the need for free and fair elections. 60386725 60369668 AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The prosecution in the murder case against a man charged with killing three men by luring them with Craigslist job offers urged jurors on Monday to use their common sense and return guilty verdicts, but the defense said the identify theft and robbery motives were baseless. Prosecutor Jonathan Baumoel repeatedly mentioned the three victims and a fourth jobseeker who survived an attack and told jurors there was no reasonable doubt that Richard Beasley, 53, plotted the killings. “They were desperate for a better life,” Baumoel said in a hushed courtroom, with Beasley sitting in a wheelchair due to back problems. “They wanted a second chance.” Baumoel said jurors should use their common sense in �The Daily Sentinel Sports TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 2013 mdssports@civitasmedia.com Flooded free agent market, but no superstars Barry Wilner The Associated Press Most of the big names hitting free agency aren’t big stars anymore. Sure, Ed Reed is coming off helping a Super Bowl season with Baltimore, Wes Welker catches 100 passes every year, and Dashon Goldson is an AllPro. But this crop is more about aging defensive players such as Charles Woodson, Brian Urlacher and Ronde Barber. And then are some solid but hardly unforgettable receivers and running backs: Greg Jennings, Mike Wallace, Reggie Bush and Michael Turner. When full free agency begins Tuesday at 4 p.m. EDT, with all 32 teams under the $123 million salary cap, the bidding wars might be furious for a while. Or perhaps not, considering the dangers of signing players beyond their peak years to rich deals that can financially hamstring teams in the future. The stakes are high. “We did this study to try to determine what the hit rate was,” says Bill Polian, who built the Bills, Panthers and Colts into Super Bowl teams and now is analyst for ESPN and SiriusXM. “It ends up in our study being about what it was for the draft, right around 50 percent, slightly above that. “You then get into the qualitative judgment or subjective judgment of ‘at what cost?’ So player A, who cost you $12 million a year, is he a success if he starts or is he a success if he helps you get to the playoffs?” The number of free agents who helped their teams get to the playoffs last season is impressive. From the Super Bowl rosters alone are Baltimore safety Reed, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and LB-DE Paul Kruger; 49ers safety Goldson, DT Isaac Sopoaga, TE Delanie Walker and WR Randy Moss. And you can throw in Welker, Turner, Sam Baker, Dan Koppen, Andre Smith and Fred Davis. Both backfields are loaded with candidates without contracts. Joining Reed, Goldson, Woodson and Barber among defensive backs available are Aqib Talib, Brent Grimes, Kenny Phillips, LaRon Landry and brother Dawan Landry, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Keenan Lewis, and Quentin Jammer. Tailbacks and fullbacks include Bush, Turner, Steven Jackson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jerome Felton, Shonn Greene and Rashard Mendenhall. Polian warns about one position being a risk in the draft: wide receiver. But he says in free agency, that’s not necessarily the case. So spending big bucks on Welker, Wallace, Jennings, or taking a gamble on Moss, Deion Branch or Julian Edelman might pay off. Of high interest is how longtime stars with their current teams fare on the marketplace. Urlacher is 34, Reed is 35, Woodson is 36 and Barber is 37. Do owners and general managers take a chance that each of those perennial Pro Bowlers have enough left to bring more than experience and leadership to their teams? “There are clubs, we were one of them, that said if a guy’s 27 years of age or above, we’re probably not going to go for a long-term deal at big money,” Polian says. “But if you feel you’re one quality receiver away and the physical exam turns out to be OK, you might do it. Again, that is what makes free agency interesting.” What also made the grab bag of extra interest was a three-day window allowing teams to talk to representatives of unrestricted free agents. The idea was to eliminate tampering. “I think it’s fair to say that everybody will be interested to see how it works out, what the results of it are,” Polian said. “I wouldn’t say everybody was enthusiastic about it. We all had some reservation. “But, on balance, I think it’s fair to say that we felt that it was something that would at least bring some organization to what had been a very chaotic process. Agents can talk to clubs, they can go back to the old club with what one would assume would be a bona fide offer or some parameters. They can gauge who is interested and who is not interested.” Beginning Tuesday, NFL fans’ interest surely will rise, even if no footballs are being thrown or kicked.

Lady Eagles headed to state Eastern fends off Green Wave for D-4 regional title, 57-56 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com PICKERINGTON, Ohio — There is a first time for everything. The Eastern girls basketball team secured its first regional title in school history while also becoming the only Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division program to ever qualify for a state hoops tournament Saturday night following an exhausting 57-56 triumph over host Newark Catholic in a Division IV regional championship matchup at Pickerington High School North in Fairfield County. Both the Lady Eagles (23-4) and Green Wave (243) battled through eight lead changes and five ties throughout the course of the 32-minute affair, and each team held a one-point lead in the final minute of regulation. Jenna Burdette — a three-time AP Southeast District player of the year selection — sank two free throws with 23.2 seconds remaining to give EHS a slim 57-56 edge, then the junior made that lead hold up by coming away with a late steal to wrap up the historic one-point decision. Burdette — who has given a verbal commitment to the University of Dayton — finished the night with a game-high 32 points, half of which came during a pivotal 24-10 surge in the opening 10 minutes of the contest. NCHS went on to outscore Eastern by a sizable 46-33 over the final two-plus quarters of play, but the guests were ultimately able to fall back on that early charge and earn their first trip to Columbus for hoops.

Thomas, the Big Ten’s leading scorer at 19.8 points a game, is ex- pected to give up his senior season to enter the NBA draft. Up by nine at the half, Ohio State did enough to hold off the Illini. A technical foul on Smith — he thought he was fouled on a 3-point attempt and barked at an official — helped Illinois pick up three points to cut the lead to 43-35 midway through the second half. But the next trip down the floor Thomas was fouled on a 3 and hit two foul shots. Craft then tipped a ball that led to an Illini turnover and Amir Williams scored off an inbounds play to increase the lead to 47-35.

There is an registration fee for each team, and details are available by contacting Bill Harmon at (740) 949-3114. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach Bob Huggins isn’t about to give up on a lousy season just yet. As unpredictable as the Big 12 has been this season, even Huggins is hopeful that the Mountaineers will do well in the conference tournament. “I think we can still make a run,” Huggins said Monday. Anything short of a berth in the conference tournament championship game will give Huggins his worst record in terms of percentage in 31 seasons as a head coach and his first losing season since he went 12-14 with Akron in 1984-85. His only other losing mark was 14-16 with Walsh College in 1980-81. It also would mean West Virginia will sit out the NCAA Mason Recreation tournament for the first time in Huggins’ six seasons at summer ball signups his alma mater. He took the Mountaineers to the Final MASON, W.Va. — The Mason Recreation FoundaFour in 2010. tion will be hold 2013 summer ball signups on three separate Saturdays at the Hair Shop. Signups will run from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the Saturdays of March16th and 23rd, and there is a signup fee for both individuals and families. If you were released by Mason to play for another team in 2012, you are still required to sign up in Mason until player numbers are evaluated and determined for this year.

The Illini drilled Ohio State 74-55 at home on Jan. 5 — Illinois’ largest margin of victory over a top-10 opponent in almost 50 years. The Buckeyes came in averaging 10.3 turnovers but had 11 in the first half alone and finished with 16. For days after that, Ohio State’s players said they had embarrassed themselves and the university. The first half was tight until the Buckeyes made a late 12-2 run.

Even though the Illini got decent shots, nothing was falling. Thomas hit a fadeaway from 12 feet for a 23-22 lead, touching off a 9-0 run. Sam Thompson hit a foul shot and Smith popped in a perimeter jumper. The Illini missed six shots during the drought, with a turnover thrown in. And what a turnover it was.

Thomas faked a jumper and then rolled in a layup to make it 28-22. Scott then had a 15-footer touch about every inch of the rim before falling to push the lead to eight points.

You call the shots in your life, so only you can change this pattern. The unexpected plays a role in your decisions and actions more than in past years. You will have many choices -- be open to them. If you are single, avoid making any impulsive commitments. If you are attached, the two of you might be eyeing a property investment. Home really is where your heart is. Count on ARIES being blunt. 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) HHHHH Mars enters your sign, which invigorates you even more. Harness this vitality. You might want to try a new exercise routine or take up a new hobby. Understand that few can handle your strength and high energy at this point. Tonight: Do not stand on ceremony. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your irritation with a particular situation might be building, and a sudden event could trigger stronger feelings. Stop investing energy in suppressing your emotional state. Clear your mind, and try a different approach. You’ll be much happier as a result. Tonight: Let mystery in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You know that you are heading in the right direction. A meeting could be unpredictable. You don’t mind the additional excitement; you work well with high energy and determined associates. Tonight: The more people there are around you, the happier you will be. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to work with a boss or superior, but this person could become more demanding. Just remember who is in charge, and you will be OK. Sometimes the end result, as opposed to the immediate outcome, is more important. Tonight: A must appearance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH An unexpected call triggers your imagination. Your mind seems resistant to any discipline or focus. You could start experiencing life from a new vantage point, where you visualize a different result. A certain individual might play a role in this. Tonight: Catch up on emails. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A close associate or a loved one might change his or her tune when you least expect it. This person will push and push in order to get what he or she desires. You practically will have to vanish to get this person off your case. Tonight: Dinner with a good friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Someone is hot on your heels and wants to at least have a conversation with you, if not an agreement. If you try to change this person’s mind or do something differently, you will still get a hard bottom line. Wait a day to have a formal chat. Tonight: Go with the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Manage your exuberance. You might not even realize what a strong reaction others are having to it. Stay direct when dealing with someone, even if he or she generally is unsupportive. Lighten up, and you might be able to turn this situation around. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You can’t hold yourself back from using your imagination, nor would you want to. You are a solution finder. You exude a quality of excitement wherever you go, and others respond in kind. The unexpected gives you quite a surprise. Tonight: Let the fun begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Get past a hassle involving a domestic matter. You might have errands to run and calls to make, but completing them could be close to impossible. Tap into your creativity. Remember that lists and schedules can be changed when necessary. Tonight: Go with the flow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Speak your mind, but take a moment before you express your thoughts. Choosing the right words could make all the difference in the receiver’s response. Be aware that you could be too much in your mind, which makes you accidentprone. Tonight: Return calls. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Know what is going on with your finances. A costly mistake could impact your cash flow, and that could cause a lot of disruption. Stay on top of your funds, and be sure to stick to your budget. Weigh the pros and cons before purchasing a major item. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

I told (crew chief) Jason (Ratcliff) with about 12 to go that I was sorry we were going to lose. We were just too tight. … We didn’t have the fastest car there, but we had it where we needed it to be.” Kenseth took charge by taking only fuel on the final pit stop during caution while almost everybody else replaced two tires. He took the lead and held onto it, using his veteran savvy — and a few screamed instructions at his new spotter — to keep Kahne’s impressive Chevrolet behind him to the finish. He celebrated with uncommon vigor after his JGR Toyota crossed the line. He’s still getting comfortable with his new teammates after leaving Roush Fenway Racing in the highest-profile driver move of the offseason, joining Gibbs after 13 seasons with RFR. “I’m not a huge goal person, but my goal was to win, and to win early,” Kenseth said. “Nobody has put any pressure on me except for myself, but I also know that Coach hired me to come in there, climb in that car and win races. You certainly want to do that, and you don’t want to disappoint people. I’m glad we got a win, but it’s still only Week 3. I feel like this is the beginning.” Pole-sitter Brad Keselowski finished third, with Kenseth’s teammate, Kyle Busch, in fourth and Carl Edwards fifth. Jimmie Johnson, the overall points leader, was sixth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. seventh. Defending Vegas champion Tony Stewart finished 11th, while Gibbs driver Denny Hamlin was 15th after an eventful week featuring a $25,000 fine from NASCAR for criticizing the new Gen-6 race car. Eagles From Page 6 teammates — Savannah Hawley and Tori Goble. “It’s going to be crazy and we are going to love it. We’re excited … I know this is the most excited that I have ever been,” the current alltime leading scorer in program history said. “I’m really happy for our two seniors because I already know how hard it’s going to be without them next year. Luckily, we don’t have to worry about that right now.” As impressive as Eastern was in the opening stages of the contest, Newark Catholic was equally impressive during certain spans of the final 22 minutes. The Green Wave hit 8-of-9 charity tosses and 12-of-28 field goal attempts in the second half during a 34-28 run. But in the waning moments, NCHS committed its only turnover of the fourth quarter — and it proved to be a backbreaker. With EHS leading 57-56 and Burdette at the line with 3.4 seconds remaining, the junior came up empty on the front end of a two-shot foul. After an Eastern timeout, Burdette missed the second attempt — which landed in the hands of Jill Blacksten. Instinctively, the Central District player of the year started backwards toward the endline before quickly realizing that the shot was missed. An outlet pass was made and another was attempted, but Burdette stepped in to catch the errant throw and wrap up the hard-fought win. The Lady Eagles — who finished the season ranked 10th in the Division IV AP poll — will face Berlin Hiland (25-3) in the first of two D-4 state semifinals at 1 p.m. Friday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. The Lady Hawks — who finished second in the final D-4 poll — earned their 13th state berth overall and eighth trip in 10 years by defeating Courtland Maplewood 58-41 in a regional final at Massillon. Top-ranked Ottoville (27-0) defeated Arcadia by a 52-37 margin at Elida and seventh-ranked Fort Loramie (25-3) beat New Madison Tri-Village 69-46 at Tippecanoe to set up the 3 p.m. semifinal on Friday. The two winners will play at 5:15 p.m. Saturday in the state title game. That is what now lies ahead for the Lady Eagles, the only program of the four to have never appeared at a state basketball tournament. Hiland is the only program with a state title, as HHS won crowns in 2000, 2005, 2006 and 2008. Fifth-year EHS coach John Burdette was really trying to enjoy the postgame madness Saturday night, but he also knows that three really solid teams await his troops next week. “It’s been great looking at the girls and seeing them with their families, all hugging and loving on each other,” the elder Burdette said. “That is honestly better than thinking about who we are playing next. “It’s great that we won the ball game and we’ll sit back when this is all over and enjoy it, but right now we still have some to work to do. We did accomplish our goal this season by getting to state, but now we have to set some more goals.” There were three ties and four lead changes in the opening eight minutes of play, and Newark Catholic claimed its biggest lead of the night at 3-0 with 6:48 left in the opening period. EHS rallied with a 8-5 spurt over the next 2:57 to knot things up at eight, then closed the final three minutes with an 8-0 run to secure a 16-8 cushion after one period of play. Caroline Wollenburg cut the lead to two possessions with a basket at the 7:06 mark of the second, but Eastern went on another 8-0 run over the next 1:04 — giving the Lady Eagles their biggest cushion of the night at 24-10. EHS went scoreless over the next 3:55, and the Green Wave capitalized with an 8-0 surge to pull back to within six points with 2:22 left in the half. NCHS trimmed its deficit down to as much as 27-22 with 18.9 seconds remaining, but Burdette hit a short jumper in the lane with three ticks left to secure a 29-22 advantage at the break. Neither team shot over 40 percent from the field in the first half, as Eastern netted 12-of-30 shot attempts while Newark Catholic sank 8-of-23 field goal tries. EHS also made the only three successful trifectas in the opening 16 minutes of action. NCHS twice pulled to within four points in the opening four minutes of the third canto, but the Lady Eagles made a 10-2 surge over a 1:39 span to claim their largest second half lead at 42-30 with 2:47 left. Newark Catholic countered with a 10-2 run of its own over the final 2:34 of the stanza, allowing the hosts to pull within 44-40 headed into the finale. Neither team led by more than four points down the stretch, and the Green Wave completed their noble comeback effort with 4:12 left in regulation after Blacksten canned a threepointer to give the hosts a 49-48 edge. Burdette answered with an old-fashioned threepoint play at the 3:53 mark, which sparked a small 5-0 run for a 53-49 lead with 3:08 remaining. NCHS rallied to tie things up at 53- and 55-all, then took its final lead of the night with 52.4 seconds left after Blacksten sank the second of two charity tosses for a 56-55 advantage. After Burdette reclaimed the lead for the Lady Eagles with 23 ticks left, Newark Catholic tried an isolation play for Blacksten on the low block. The Green Wave ultimately came up short on its game-winner attempt, and Burdette came away with the rebound before being fouled with 3.4 seconds left in regulation — setting up the climactic conclusion. The Lady Eagles finished the night 20-of-57 from the field for 35 percent, including a 4-of-14 effort from three-point range for 29 percent. The guests committed 12 turnovers and were outrebounded by a 33-28 overall margin, but did claim a small 1110 edge on the offensive glass. Burdette scored 20 of her 32 points in the first half, which also included a perfect 9-of-9 effort from the free throw line before her final two tries late. Burdette also had teamhighs of eight rebounds, four assists and four steals in the triumph. Maddie Rigsby was next with 11 points, followed by Jordan Parker with six points and Erin Swatzel with three markers. Katie Keller and Savannah Hawley each chipped in two points, while Tori Goble rounded out the scoring with one marker. EHS was 13-of-18 overall at the charity stripe for 72 percent. Blacksten paced NCHS with a double-double effort of 18 points and 15 rebounds, followed by Kelly Clapper with 13 points and Ashleigh Parkinson with 10 markers. Caroline Wollenburg was next with eight points, while Jenna Bourne and Caitlyn Andrews rounded out the respective scoring with four and three markers. The Green Wave hit 20of-51 shot attempts for 39 percent, including a 2-of-8 effort from behind the arc for 25 percent. The hosts committed 11 turnovers and went 14-of-21 at the charity stripe for 67 percent. With the win, Eastern earned its fourth-ever state appearance in a girls team sport. The volleyball team advanced to Fairborn in 2011, while the softball program went to the Final Four back in both 1985 and 2001. The TVC Hocking has also had at least one representative in the D-4 regionals over the last decade, with Eastern’s regional crown being the only successful weekend for the league. The Lady Eagles are also the only current member of the Hocking Division to reach the state level in hoops in either Ohio or West Virginia (Wahama). Since Ohio transitioned from Class A, AA and AAA to four divisions in 1988, the Lady Eagles become the only Southeast District program to qualify for state at the Division IV level. The 1987-88 campaign was also the first year that Ohio implemented the three-point line into the high school game. fever The race is on at mydailytribune.com mydailyregister.com mydailysentinel.com Show off your Auto Racing knowledge & Sprint to the Cup for great weekly prizes!
