The Ohio Bluebird Soci- ety celebrated three decades of preservation ef- forts, fellowship and achievement Saturday at its annual conference at Ash- land University’s John C. Myers Convocation Center. The daylong conference, dubbed “Thirty years of Bluebird Happiness – 1987- 2017,” included talks on wildlife conservation, the presentation of awards and a good measure of remi- niscing. The conference drew 122 people from 27 different Ohio counties. It was the second year in a row at the AU venue. In previous years, it was staged in Wooster. OBS president Mike Watson was pleased with the turnout, which he char- acterized as a good mix of members and non-mem- bers. “It’s always impressive to me when you’ve got a room full of charter members and life members and you think about how much knowl- edge and experience is there,” Watson said. “You can walk through the room and ask any question about birds and somebody in the room is going to have an answer and personal expe- rience with that question. That’s always been impres- sive to me about OBS. You have people who founded it and they’re still dedicated.” He estimated that about 40 percent of those attend- ing were non-members. “So, it’s not just preach- ing to the choir, it’s a lot of new folks,” Watson said. Watson works as a con- servation biologist at the Holden Arboretum in Kirt- land. He’s been an OBS member for eight years. He first became involved with bluebirds as a volunteer with Lake Metroparks in northeast Ohio. Runaways caught after crime Runaways caught after crime By CHRISTINE L. PRATT GateHouse Media See Page A6 | Runaways WOOSTER — Three juveniles who reportedly ran away from the Mohican Youth Academy Saturday were returned to the facility Sun- day, but only after allegedly com- mitting a series of crimes in Loudonville and then running from law enforcement. Officers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Wayne, Holmes and Ashland sheriff's of- fices and Loudonville and Rittman police departments joined together Sunday morning after receiving a report of three juveniles walking along Ohio 3, near Metcalf Road, in Wayne County. Responding troopers immedi- ately took two of the three into custody; however, the third fled on foot, according to Wayne County Sheriff's Capt. Doug Hunter. Working together, the various officers, aided by two K-9 units, an OSP helicopter and several private citizens on all-terrain vehicles, spent nearly two hours tracking the third juvenile, who eventually was located and captured at 12:35 p.m. near Clay Point Road in Wayne County. Troopers returned all three to the residential treatment facility, according to Hunter. While on the lam from the treat- ment facility, where all had been placed by court order, the three said they walked the 4 miles to Loudonville, where they admit- tedly broke into and stole change from several unlocked vehicles, ac- cording to Loudonville Police Chief Kevin Taylor. They said they spent the night on the run, largely to keep warm, and walked the entire way to the area of Metcalf Road, which was another 7 or 8 miles from Loudonville, said Taylor, who said his department had been working with the Ashland County Sheriff's Office on Saturday and into Sun- day to locate the boys, ages 17, 15 and 15, in the immediate wake of them leaving the facility. They were found in possession of coins, consistent with what was stolen from the vehicles, parked in residential areas of Loudonville, Taylor said. All of the vehicles, Taylor said, were unlocked. He reminds not only residents of Loudonville, but everywhere, to lock their vehicles. “The majority of break-ins we have are to unlocked vehicles. Nine times out of 10, they're not going to break into a locked vehicle, for fear of setting off an alarm,” he said. By Sunday evening, he said, the

Ohio Supreme Court looking at Boardman caseOhio Supreme Court looking at Boardman caseBy MARC KOVACCapital Bureau

COLUMBUS — TheOhio Supreme Court is con-sidering whether evidencegathered against twoBoardman residents shouldbe suppressed after offi-cers, warrant in hand,forced their way into anapartment without an-nouncing the purpose oftheir visit.

Heroin and other itemsthat were seized led todrug-re lated chargesagainst Sherri Bembry andHarsimran Singh, who sayofficers’ violated Ohio’sknock-and-announce rules,and the resulting evidenceshould be blocked fromconsideration during legalproceedings against them.

Lou DeFabio, legal coun-sel for the two, told justicesduring oral argumentsWednesday that officersbroke down an apartmentdoor without disclosingthat they had a warrant tosearch the premises.

“It is simply, truly a little,‘Boardman Police Depart-ment, we’re here to executea warrant,’ ” he said. “That’snot a gigantic burden on lawenforcement to say thosewords. And it protects every-one — it protects the peopleinside the house, it protectsthe police officers. ...”

But legal counsel for thestate say officers had aproper search warrant, andevidence was properly col-lected.

“We have one instance,one minor error, where theBoardman Police Depart-ment did not say ‘searchwarrant’ before they hit thedoor,” said Assistant Ma-honing County ProsecutorRalph Rivera. “... We do nothave a systemic failure.”

According to documents,detectives in October 2012directed a controlled drugbuy between a confidentialinformant and Singh. Thenext month, officers ob-tained a warrant to search anapartment near where thedrug purchase was made.

Officers knocked on thedoor of that residence, an-nounced that they were thepolice, then battered downthe door when the occu-pants declined to let themin over a period of about 45seconds.

A subsequent search un-covered heroin, a couple ofguns (one of which wasstolen) and other items. Asa result, Singh was indictedfor possession and traffick-ing of heroin and receivingstolen property, all felonies;Bembry was indicted forpermitting drug abuse, alsoa felony charge.

But the two moved tosuppress the evidenceagainst them, saying offi-cers violated the state’sknock-and-announce rulewhen they failed to statethe purpose of their visit.

A trial court sided withSingh and Bembry, but anappeals court reversed themotion to suppress.

DeFabio argued thatBoardman officers were ob-ligated to announce their

purpose before breakingdown the door.

“We’re talking about thesanctity and dignity of ahome,” DeFabio said. “Nowimagine ... you’re in yourhome, you hear ‘Police,open up.’ Again, there’s norequirement based on thatlanguage that you do that.The next thing you know,the door is busted in,busted down with a batter-ing ram. There are officersswarming through withguns and badges.”

Rivera countered that of-ficer’s failure to announce‘search warrant’ was a mi-nor transgression in thiscase, as officers knockedand announced who theywere before breaking downthe door.

“When there is exigency,the statute and the rules(are) suspended,” he said.“Because that line is so thin,suppression is too great of aremedy in this particular cir-cumstance ... It is not fla-grant disregard for one’sconstitutional rights.”

Dealing with bad fairy rings in a yardDealing with bad fairy rings in a yardEric LarsonA Stroll Through The Garden

A reader of mine emaileda question to me aboutwhat may seem to be agood thing as you first lookat green rings in her neigh-bor’s yard.

Last fall, this reader no-ticed that a neighbor had alawn with dark green cir-cles that was spreading andthe balance of the lawn wasstill green, but not just asdark green.

As I have said in thepast, long-distance diagnos-tics is not something that Ilike to do. I strongly recom-mend that we wait until thesnow breaks up and we canactually see what we aredoing. The symptoms arefairly common and the solu-tions to the problem are

difficult at best.I first encountered the

fairy ring, or bad fairy ring,in the lawn under the glasshall that stretches betweenthe two main buildings onthe Ohio State Universitycampus at the AgriculturalTechnical Inst itute inWooster.

The fairy ring that I sawwas just as described in thebooks I have. The grasswas a different color as thatbalance of the lawn. Whathappens is that the organicmatter such as tree stumps,

large roots and construc-tion lumber had begun todecompose and the lawnsurrounding the decompos-ing organic matter had notbeen fertilized very well.

Because the lawn was ina poorer condition aroundthe decaying organic mat-ter, the lawn may appeargreener. As these mush-rooms do their jobs, theygive off nitrogen to the soiland cause the lawn to lookgreener.

When I was first learningabout this fairy ring prob-lem, I learned that there arereally just two types ofmushrooms — saprophytic,mushrooms that feed ondead material, and para-sitic, mushrooms that feed

on live material.Most of the mushrooms

that you find in your yardwill fit into the saprophyticgroup. Fairy ring is asaprophytic problem. Sofar as I’m concerned, noneof the mushrooms that youwould find in the fairy ringwill directly harm anyplant.

If you fertilize your lawnwith good compost and wa-ter your lawn regularly re-ally well, your lawn willbenefit and you really willhave a harder time figuringout where the problem is inthe lawn with your fairyring.

Two traditional solutionsto fairy ring are first godown to the source of the

decomposition and removethe stump, roots, limbs orlumber. This will not beeasy. Before you get to thewood, you need to scrapethe soil to get rid of thespores of the mushrooms asbest as possible. Dispose ofthis soil mushroom sporemixture and your set, afteryou have replaced the soiland the lawn that you justdestroyed.

Because fairy rings willnot overlap as they grow,my next solution is similarto stopping a fire fromspreading by back burning.If you can scratch up thefungus and spread thespore and soil mixture andwork it into the soilsaround the area that has

been infected with the fairyring, they will begin to bat-tle one another.

During my walk thisweek, I saw more eri-anthus, crocus, witchhazel,snow drops and now for-sythia. I did see some snowon the ground toward theend of the week. If youhave any garden problems,please let me know byemailing me your questionsat [email protected]. I shall do my bestto answer them here andadd to them soon on myblog, where you can alsocomment and give us yoursuggestions.

Pro athlete needs to work on neighbor gamePro athlete needs to work on neighbor gameAmy DickinsonAsk Amy Tribune Media

DEAR AMY: My hus-band and I live in a gatedcommunity. About a yearago, we were shocked tosee a player from a majorleague sports team buy thehome directly next to ours.My husband was absolutelythrilled.

We became friendly withhim almost right away, ashis dog and our dog likedto play with each other inour connected front yards.

Then suddenly, his noto-riety increased overnightand the “chaos” began.Constant partying, loudmusic, a nonstop flow ofpeople and cars going inand out.

I was leaving for workone morning, and an in-sanely expensive car wasblocking our driveway, anda young woman was passedout drunk in the passengerseat. She was fine, but thesituation was frustrating,especially for me because Ihad to get to work.

My husband and I agreedthat he would talk to ourneighbor. We agreed on afirm but polite approach.Several hours later, my hus-band came back home,completely drunk and rav-ing about what a nice guyhe was, saying he invited usover to hang out, and weshould let it all go.

I understand my husbandlikes to be connected to ourneighbor’s celebrity status,

so I feel alone in dealingwith this situation. How doI handle this one? — Not aFan

DEAR NOT A FAN:Your neighbor has co-optedmany of your rights: theright to the quiet enjoy-ment of your own property,the right to privacy and theright to have access to yourvehicle so that you can goto work.

He has also co-optedyour husband.

Do not drop this. Writedown your specific con-cerns. The process shouldcommence with an in-per-son, neighborly appeal fromboth of you (together):“We work in the morningand the volume of the mu-sic is so loud that we canhear it in our bedroom withthe windows closed.” And,“Last week I couldn’t get towork because a car wasblocking the driveway anda woman was passed out in-side it. I was so worriedabout her I wanted to callthe police.”

I assume that this per-sonal appeal might not havemuch of a long-term impact,but now you would havemodeled the kind of politebehavior and respect that

you would like him to adopt.Keep detailed notes of

dates and times and takephotos or videos duringdisruptions, as well as yourconversations with himabout this. In the future, ifnothing changes, call thepolice if necessary.

Take your overall con-cerns to the organizationthat runs your gated com-munity.

And then get your lawyerinvolved.

DEAR AMY: I have apet peeve about wastingfood or water.

At my local aquatic cen-ter, after swimming I havenoticed that some bathersjust stand in the shower up-ward of 15 minutes, allow-ing the water to merely rundown the drain.

It drives me crazy, know-ing that there ’s suchscarcity of clean drinkingwater in many parts of theworld, and these cluelesswomen are wasting somuch of it!

(I only use water to wetdown and then to rinse offthe soap. In between, I turnit off.)

I’d like your opinion onwhat I should say or do.

Would it be impolite tocall this to the attention ofthe perpetrators, or shouldI just grit my teeth andmind my own business? —Not Water Logged

DEAR NOT: Do not dis-

turb fellow swimmers in or-der to tell them how to be-have. It is not only impo-lite, but obnoxious. Youcould approach the man-agement of your center toask them what measuresthey take to preserve wa-ter. Perhaps you could havean impact through this ad-vocacy, versus lecturing fel-low swimmers.

I need to point out thatthe fact that you have accessto an aquatic center in thefirst place speaks to yourwillingness to use (or“waste”) water for yourrecreational needs when youwant to. How many thou-sands of gallons does it taketo fill that swimming pool?

DEAR AMY: “Job Con-cerned” was being pres-sured by his father to leavehis current job and join thecompany where his fatherworks.

Your advice was good,but I would add that heshould try to get an offerfrom the second job; hiscurrent boss might valuehim enough to give him agood raise. — Experi-enced

DEAR EXPERIENCED:I agree it is smart to lever-age offers, if possible.

Should we teach cursive writing?Should we teach cursive writing?MARC KOVACCapital Bureau

COLUMBUS — When Iwas a kid, back before theInternet and computers andsmart phones and driver-less cars (which, really,wasn’t that long ago), stu-dents at my elementaryschool focused part of theirdays on the PalmerMethod.

Looking online now, Iguess that particular way ofteaching cursive handwrit-ing was falling out of fash-ion by then, but my teach-ers apparently didn’t knowit, so my fellow classmatesand I would dutifully loopand swing and whateverelse was required to formthe letters, as Mr. Palmerhad prescribed.

I was terrible at it andstill have my report cardsfrom those days, with un-satisfactory marks in hand-writing. Today, I never usecursive, mostly because it’shard enough to read myregular writing, and I don’twant to frighten people.

Do I regret not beingable to write legibly in cur-sive? Absolutely.

Thanks to my wife, twoof my three kids developedbeautiful cursive scriptsduring their home-schooledyears. My oldest has beencomplimented at the STEMhigh school he now attends

for his penmanship. Myyoungest inherited myhandwriting skills, but hecan still write sentences incursive that are readable.

Is teaching cursive writ-ing important? Sure.

Though we rely on com-puters and texting andother electronic means ofcommunicating, it can’thurt to pract ice andstrengthen your handwrit-ing skills. Besides, nothingsays “I love you” less than atyped page, as opposed to anice letter or card for thats igni f icant other thatyou’ve written by hand.

Should schools be re-quired to teach cursivehandwriting? That’s atougher question to an-swer.

There’s a debate on thatissue happening at theStatehouse — better put,there’s a debate happeningagain, since comparablelegislation has been offeredin past sessions.

HB 58 would requireschool districts to teachcursive handwriting to stu-dents in kindergarten

through fifth grade.An analysis by the state’s

Legislative Service Com-mission notes that the billaims “to ensure that stu-dents develop the ability toprint letters and words legi-bly by third grade and tocreate readable documentsusing legible cursive hand-writing by the end of fifthgrade.”

State Reps. AndrewBrenner (R-Powell) andMarilyn Slaby (R-Copley)of fered sponsor test i -mony on the bill a fewd a y s a g o b e f o r e t h eHouse’s Higher Educa-t i o n a n d W o r k f o r c eDevelopment Committee.

Brenner said in his sub-mitted testimony, “Cursivewriting is not an outdatedform of communication.We are not advocating forcursive writing to take theplace of printing, textingand keyboarding. Thoseare equally important skillsand should be taught in theclassroom along with cur-sive. We are not askingteachers to carve out moret ime in their a l readypacked class schedules. Weonly ask that they incorpo-rate cursive learning aspart of their reading, writ-ing and spelling courses.”

And Slaby added in her

submitted testimony, “Thisbill adds another dimensionto vocabulary and languagelessons, granting studentsanother method of expres-sion in addition to the men-tal benefits. A different wayof understanding languagecan help students learn toread, and may provide stu-dents with fine motor skillsthey could otherwise missout on.”

There are no indicationsthat the bill is on a fasttrack toward passage.There are plenty of law-makers who are wearyabout foisting additionalspecific academic lesson re-quirements on teachers andschool districts.

Regardless of whetherstate officials require cur-sive handwriting to betaught in public schools,there’s no law againstteaching the PalmerMethod at home.

Whether anybody will beable to read your kids’ cur-sive handwriting is a differ-ent story.

Trump enlistsTrump enlistsCongress to probeCongress to probewiretapping claimwiretapping claimBy DARLENE SUPERVILLEAssociated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. —President Donald Trumpturned to Congress on Sun-day for help finding evi-dence to support his unsub-stantiated claim that for-mer President BarackObama had Trump’s tele-phones tapped during theelection. Obama’s intelli-gence chief said no such ac-tion was ever carried out.

Republican leaders ofCongress appeared willingto honor the president’s re-quest, but the move has po-tential risks for the presi-dent, particularly if theHouse and Senate intelli-gence committees unearthdamaging informationabout Trump, his aides orhis associates.

Trump claimed in a se-ries of tweets without evi-dence Saturday that hispredecessor had tried toundermine him by tapping

the telephones at TrumpTower, the New York sky-scraper where Trumpbased his campaign andtransition operations, andmaintains a home.

Obama’s director of na-tional intelligence, JamesClapper, said nothingmatching Trump’s claimshad taken place.

“Absolutely, I can denyit,” said Clapper, who leftgovernment when Trumptook office in January.Other representatives forthe former president alsodenied Trump’s allegation.

White House press secre-tary Sean Spicer said with-out elaborating Sunday thatTrump’s instruction toCongress was based on“very troubling” reports“concerning potentially po-litically motivated investiga-tions immediately ahead ofthe 2016 election.” Spicerdid not respond to inquiriesabout the reports he cited inannouncing the request.

Cursive sees revivalCursive sees revivalin school instructionin school instructionBy KAREN MATTHEWSAssociated Press

NEW YORK — Cursivewriting is looping back intostyle in schools across thecountry after a generationof students who know onlykeyboarding, texting andprinting out their wordslonghand.

Alabama and Louisianapassed laws in 2016 man-dating cursive proficiencyin public schools, the latestof 14 states that requirecursive. And last fall, the1.1 million-student NewYork City schools, the na-tion’s largest public schoolsystem, encouraged theteaching of cursive to stu-dents, generally in the thirdgrade.

“It’s definitely not neces-sary but I think it’s, like,cool to have it,” said EmilyMa, a 17-year-old senior atNew York City’s academi-cally rigorous StuyvesantHigh School who was never

taught cursive in schooland had to learn it on herown.

Penmanship proponentssay writing words in an un-broken line of swooshing l’sand three-humped m’s isjust a faster, easier way oftaking notes. Others saystudents should be able tounderstand documentswritten in cursive, such as,say, a letter from Grandma.And still more say it’s just agood life skill to have, espe-cially when it comes tosigning your name.

That was where NewYork state AssemblywomanNicole Malliotakis drew theline on the cursive genera-tion gap, when she encoun-tered an 18-year-old at avoter registration eventwho printed out his namein block letters.

“I said to him, ‘No, youhave to sign here,’” Mallio-takis said. “And he said,‘That is my signature. Inever learned script.’”

Tax audits plummetTax audits plummetas IRS cuts agentsas IRS cuts agentsBy STEPHENOHLEMACHERAssociated Press

WASHINGTON — Asmillions of Americans filetheir income tax returns,their chances of getting au-dited by the IRS haverarely been so low.

The number of peopleaudited by the IRS in 2016year dropped for the sixthstraight year, to just over 1million. The last time sofew people were auditedwas 2004. Since then, theU.S. has added about 30million people.

The IRS blames budgetcuts as money for theagency shrunk from $12.2billion in 2010 to $11.2 bil-lion last year. Over that pe-riod, the agency has lostmore than 17,000 employ-ees, including nearly 7,000enforcement agents. A littlemore than 80,000 peoplework at the IRS.

IRS Commissioner John

Koskinen said budget cutsare costing the federal gov-ernment between $4 billionand $8 billion a year in un-collected taxes.

“We are the only agencyif you give us more peopleand money, we give youmore money back,” Koski-nen said in an interview.

So is it safe to cheat onyour taxes? Not necessar-ily, according to tax ex-perts.

“I don’t think it’s openseason for people to cheat,”said Joseph Perry, a part-ner at the accounting firmMarcum. “I think there area certain group of peoplethat will always try to pushthe envelope to get awaywith things that they thinkthey can get away with.”

As Koskinen put it: “Ifyou’re a taxpayer, you don’twant to roll the roulettewheel and have the littlewhite ball land on yournumber because then we’renot very happy.”

“When my position atHolden became full-time,one of the first things theydid was put me in charge ofthe Holden bluebird pro-gram,” Watson said.

OBS recognized the Ash-land County Park Districtfor its work in preservingvaluable habitat for blue-birds and other wildlife andits education outreach.Tom Kruse, one of the parkdistrict commissioners, ac-cepted the Wildlife Conser-vation Award on behalf ofhis fellow volunteers. Theaward is presented annuallyto a non-member or organi-zation.

Kruse praised fellowpark volunteers Tim Leslieand Don Plant for their ef-forts in placing and main-taining bluebird and purplemartin houses in the parks,including 40 bluebird boxesat Byers Woods, the dis-trict’s first park. Leslie andPlant are Ashland residentsand OBS members.

Kruse, a northern Ash-land County resident andretired resource conserva-tion teacher at the CareerCenter, was among thoseasked to speak at the con-vention. His talk was on lo-cal habitat conservation.Kruse stressed the impor-tance of cooperation in-volved in building the Ash-land County Park District,which now boasts 16 parkscovering 2,000 acres.

He explained how peoplewith diverse interests —hunters and non-huntingwildlife enthusiasts, peoplenormally perceived to be atopposite ends of the politi-cal spectrum — learned towork together to preservehabitat and provide a widerange of recreational oppor-tunities.

“We’ve worked on part-nering, on forming a bigtent and learning to worktogether,” Kruse said. “Wecan’t allow ourselves to beseparated by the issues, weneed to f ind commonground and work togetherto preserve this kind ofdream.”

Other convention topicsfocused on bluebirds, butalso covered other speciesincluding bald eagles, andgeneral ecological issuessuch as land conservancy.

OBS is dedicated to pre-serving crucial habitat forbluebirds and other cavity-nesting songbirds. Mem-bers work with the OhioDivision of Wildlife andother agencies and organi-zations to promote conser-vation, education and fel-lowship among membersand non-members whoshare their interests.

department had taken tworeports; however, resi-dents who think they mayhave been similarly victim-ized are encouraged to callthe Loudonville PoliceDepartment at 419-994-4151.

Taylor credits a success-ful conclusion of the situa-tion to “excellent team-work” between the variousagencies.

“It's what we do,” saidHunter, adding, “In thisparticular case, a numberof law enforcement agen-cies came together andworked closely to locatethe suspect (who fled onfoot). It's a given that law

enforcement works to-gether, but even more im-portant, several commu-nity members provided as-sistance as well.

“In this particular case,it's my belief they wereplaced into the residentialtreatment facility becauseof court actions,” he said,adding, “Once they left,they became involved in anumber of crimes and, un-doubtedly, their criminalbehavior would have con-tinued if they had not beenapprehended. By quicklyapprehending them, fur-ther victimization was pre-vented.”

feelings of such a facility over theweekend, “and from what I heardfrom them, they are pretty much fori t . ” Counci lman Tom Youngnoted,“this is a resolution of supportfor the application. There are manysteps before the firm is actually sitedhere.”

Councilman Traci Cooper said,“this is an excellent economic oppor-tunity for our village,” with memberBill Welsh adding, “this could be agreat project for the village.”

Van Sickle asked if Glasshousecould provide in format ion toschools regarding the work it doeswith marijuana and other issues.

Stricklen said he was not aware if itdid, but Cooper, who is a school-teacher, commented, “the state isalways telling educators things theyshould teach to better prepare stu-dents for college and careers.Something like this, I think, wouldfit into that.”

Three officials outside of VillageCouncil spoke in favor of the applica-tion.

Brian Hinkle, president of the Mo-hican Area Growth Foundation, thelocal economic development organi-zation, and Kathy Goon, its director,both said the application repre-sented a great opportunity in eco-nomic development for Loudonville.

Denny Bittle, Ashland Countycommissioner, said, “I am here tovoice support for the project to ben-efit Loudonville, even through the

proposed site is not in AshlandCounty.” The Loudonville IndustrialPark, off Ohio 39 East, is in theHolmes County portion of the vil-lage.

Stricklen did not indicate when fi-nal approval of Glasshouse’s applica-tion, and the decision to locate inLoudonville, would be made.

“This is a first step that enhancesthe village’s changes of getting theproject,” Goon said. A clause in theresolution approved by the councilindicated that it “has no current in-tention to enact restrictions againstthe existence of a medical marijuanaproduction facility.” It also specified“this resolution does not serve as apromise of any specific future ac-tion. All other actions necessary ...must be taken by separate, indepen-dent action after consideration.”

interested in instrumentsand getting those differentsounds out,” explainedLinda Hawk, a musicteacher with Ashland CitySchools helping the chil-dren experiment with thewoodwind instruments.

John Byron, president ofthe board for the orchestra,added that the exposurehelps kids get involved withschool orchestra or bandprograms.

“When kids get their in-strument lists, they may al-ready know what they wantto play,” Byron said.

Becca Matz, a third-grader, tried out all the in-struments in the band roomof Hugo Young Theatre.

“I’m going to play the vi-olin next year,” Matz said.

Her mother, Jessica Ross,said Matz’s mind had beenmade up before the pettingzoo, thanks to her cousinswho have been playing theinstruments.

“I can learn from them,”Matz said.

Shortly after Matz madeher rounds of the instru-ments, Hayden Young wasmaking her attempts at play-ing trumpet and trombone,succeeding at producing awarm sound out of both.

“She takes piano lessonsand just has a natural affin-ity to music,” said motherLindsey Frank. “We exposethem to different things.My interest is sports but Irealize they may not lovewhat I love.” They havebeen going to this concertand trying out the instru-ments for the last threeyears, Frank said.

Outside of the pettingzoo, waiting for the concert

to begin, was Ashland HighSchool junior Max Zywica,who was preparing for thehis bassoon solo in CarlMaria von Weber’s Bas-soon Concerto in F Major.Zywica has been playingmusic since fifth grade,when he started playingsaxophone. He switched tobassoon at the end of hisseventh-grade year.

This was Zywica’s firsttime playing with the orches-tra and playing a solo, al-though he has played withthe Mansfield SymphonyYouth Orchestra for fiveyears and is now its principalbassoonist. He said he wasexcited for the solo, if not alittle nervous. It reflects hislove for music, he said.

“Even if I play bad upthere, it is still there, youcan’t replace it. It’s originaland unique every time andthat’s what makes it specialto me,” Zywica said. “It’s

good if I play it very won-derfully but it is also goodif I don’t play it as well inthe past.”

The Young People’s con-cert opened with the “Wil-liam Tell Overture” and ex-plored other famed piecesfrom across the world,paired with popular musicincluding selections from“The Lion King” and a“Star Wars” medley. Therewere performances ofTchaikovsky’s “SleepingBeauty” and Edvard Grieg’s“In the Hall of the Moun-tain King.”

On Friday, 550 third-graders got to experiencethe concert. Saturday night,a separate concert was per-formed as part of the regu-lar Ashland SymphonyOrchestra’s season titled,“Romantic Resonance.” Theperformance featured cellistAmir Elian, a professor atOberlin Conservatory.

Eastern bluebird factsSince the early 1900s,

the Eastern bluebird popu-lation had declined by 90percent — primarily be-cause of human activityand several harsh winters.However, thanks to humanconservation eorts, theyare making a comeback.■ Cavity nesters, blue-

birds live in meadows and“edge habitat,” open areassurrounded by trees.■T hey primarily eat in-

sects, berries and otherwild fruit. However, blue-birds have been known togo after larger prey such asshrews, salamanders, treefrogs, snakes and lizards.■ When it comes to nest-

building, the males areslackers. To attract females,

male bluebirds loiteraround the nest cavity,apping their wings todraw attention to them-selves and occasionallybringing pieces of nestingmaterial into and out ofthe hole. The females domost the nest-building andincubate the eggs.■ House sparrows and

starlings raid nests and killbluebirds, sometimes tak-ing a heavy toll. Bluebirdconservationists use anumber of techniques tothwart nest predation andto discourage these andother species from usingbluebird nest boxes.

Ashland is 19-10, andwill await word on a possi-ble second consecutivespot in the NCAA DivisionII tournament, while theBulldogs are 27-4 and willmove on to the MidwestRegional next week.

The Eagles and Bulldogswere even at 16 beforeAshland embarked on an11-3 run. GLIAC men’sbasketball means there willbe multiple runs, and even-tually, Ferris State re-tied

the game at 40 with 3:17left until halftime, thenagain at 42 at the 2:44mark.

In what Seder called themost grueling draw for anyof his 11 district qualifiers,

Taylor grinded his waythrough the 126-poundbracket, earning a first-round pin, avenging a regu-lar-season loss to Defi-ance’s Danny Assaf in a 7-3

There’s something aboutAndi Daugherty in crunchtime.

A year after putting on afourth-quarter show duringthe Midwest Regional,Daugherty was at it again— this time putting away asecond straight GreatLakes Intercollegiate Ath-letic Conference Tourna-ment title for the AshlandUniversity women’s basket-ball team.

Following a huge corner3-pointer from Alex Hen-ning, Daugherty scored 12of the final 16 points forthe No. 1 Eagles, who re-peated as tourney champswith an 85-76 victory overGrand Valley State on Sun-day from Kates Gymna-sium, and she’ll have more

time to shine after it wasannounced later in thenight that the Eagles willbe in the NCAA Tourna-ment for the seventh timeand will host the MidwestRegional again and meetMalone in the quarterfinalson Friday.

“Being an upperclass-men, I’ve been in those po-sitions before. I felt verycalm,” said Daugherty, whois three points shy of tyingher sister, current Ashlandassistant coach Kari Pick-ens, for sixth on AU’s all-time career scoring list.“We do a lot of situationaldrills in practice like thatand the coaches do a greatjob making sure we are pre-pared and comfortable inthat position.”

Daugherty — who wonher second straight Tourna-ment Most Valuable Player

award — finished with agame-high-tying 25 pointsand pulled down a game-leading 11 rebounds, whileall-tournament selectionsKelsey Peare (16 points)and Jodi Johnson (14) alsomade shots all game longfor the Eagles (31-0), whonow have four GLIACTournament titles in thepast six seasons.

But that almost wasn’tenough for the Ashland,which was challenged allgame and trailed GrandValley (23-7) with 3 min-utes to go in the rematch ofthe 2016 tournament titlegame.

The Lakers had used a10-0 run at the start of thefourth to pull ahead 71-66with 5:01 to play, but Hen-ning hoisted a 3 in front ofAU’s bench to get the Ea-gles going again, sparking

what became a 19-5 run toclose out the game.

“That was a big 3. Wewere down five, and all themomentum was on theirside,” said Eagles coachRobyn Fralick. “What Iloved about that — she justshot it. She didn’t thinkabout it. She didn’t wonderabout it.

“We’ve seen her makethat shot a ton — that’ssomething we see her makeall the time in practice.What a big shot,” she said.“She was willing to take itand shot it with confi-dence.”

Johnson followed with alayup to tie the game at 71,but Grand Valley’s BaileyCairnduff hit a jumper toretain the lead beforeDaugherty went to work.

CAVALIERS

Cleveland sits LeBron andCleveland sits LeBron andKyrie, and Heat roll to winKyrie, and Heat roll to winBy TIM REYNOLDSAssociated Press

MIAMI — LeBronJames and Kyrie Irvingrested, and the Miami Heattook advantage.

Until the final seconds,that was the entire story.

Goran Dragic scored 23points, Hassan Whitesidehad 20 points and 13 re-bounds, and the Heat beatthe undermanned Cleve-land Cavaliers 120-92 onSaturday night.

Tyler Johnson added 17points for the Heat, whowon for the 18th time intheir last 22 games andmade 18 3-pointers.

But tempers flared in thefinal seconds after theCavaliers — the injuredJ.R. Smith, it seemed, inparticular — took excep-tion to Rodney McGruder’sexuberant tip dunk wherehe made contact withCleveland’s Channing Fryewith about a minute left.Benches emptied as timeexpired, Dion Waiters andUdonis Haslem did somepointing and shouting to-ward the Cavaliers, andsome from both sides wereplaying peacemaker.

“Ado about nothing,”Heat coach Erik Spoelstrasaid.

Added Frye: “It’s not re-ally a story. Tempers flared.It is what it is. It’s over now.They won. Congrats.”

The teams play again inCleveland on Mondaynight.

The Cavaliers fell to 0-5this season when Jamesisn’t in the lineup, and con-tinue to be without twoother would-be starters inKevin Love and Smith —both still recovering from

surgeries. Newly signedcenter Andrew Bogut alsowasn’t with the Cavaliers.

Frye scored 21 pointsand Kyle Korver added 15for the Cavaliers, who havelost their last 12 games inMiami.

“We forced them toshoot long contestedshots,” said Dragic, whohad 10 points in the thirdas Miami built a 101-75lead. “And we played to-gether on offense.”

The Heat remained 1 1/2games behind Detroit forthe No. 8 spot in theEastern Conference race.Cleveland’s lead over idleBoston for the No. 1 spot inthe East was trimmed to 21/2 games.

Cavs coach Tyronn Luesaid this wouldn’t be thelast time James sits beforethe end of the regular sea-son. James is averagingnearly 38 minutes pergame, and has played moreminutes — by far — thananyone else in the NBAover the last seven seasons,in large part because hekeeps leading his teams tothe NBA Finals.

He’s been to the last sixof those, and the Cavs wantto make sure he’s fresh

enough come playoff timeto have the best possiblechance at No. 7.

“He understands the bigpicture and what we’re try-ing to accomplish,” Luesaid.TIP-INS: A night after

setting an NBA regular-sea-son record with 25 3-point-ers, the Cavs went 11 for27 from beyond the arc. ...James, who tackled a Heatfan in celebration after onemade a halfcourt shot for$75,000 in 2013, cheeredwhen another made a shotSaturday for 100,000 fre-quent-flier miles. ... DerrickWilliams, as expected, wassigned for the rest of theseason earlier Saturday.

The 12 straight homewins against Cleveland isMiami’s second-longest ac-tive such streak. The Heathave won 15 straight athome over Sacramento. ...Luke Babbitt went 3 for 4from 3-point range, makinghim 20 for 30 from longrange in his last 10 games.

so big that for the first timein the district’s history theorder was charged to movea marquee bout to the end.

In addition, the area hada trio of qualifiers, withMapleton’s Ian Maundmaking a return trip tostate, and Black River’s Ja-cob Campbel l andLoudonvi l le ’ s ThomasForbes each making itthrough for the first time.

Maund makes it back tostate after finishing fourthat 152 pounds. He went 3-2in the tournament.

Campbel l (195) andForbes (145) each willmake his first state appear-ance after finishing fourthand going 3-2.

Also as a state alternateis Mapleton freshmanHunter Frederick (106),who defeated Black River’sZach LaHood for fifthplace. Northwestern’s CaelRowland lost a fifth-placebout at 132.

Steiner defeated LutheranWest’s James Handwerk 6-3in a 182-pound champi-onship match between re-turning state champions toclose the night.

It looked like the boutwould be over before it reallygot going when Handwerkdrilled Steiner into the matwith an illegal slam early inthe first period. Steiner laiddazed on his back and wouldhave been declared the win-ner if he was unable to con-tinue. He used all of his 2-minute recovery time, butgathered himself and cameback to take the win afterscoring a pair of third-periodtakedowns.

“It just feels really good

to get back to wrestling mystyle against him,” said thesecond-ranked Steiner (36-2), who handed the top-ranked Handwork (45-1) hisfirst loss and avenged a set-back at the Medina Invita-tional Tournament in De-cember. “The first time wewrestled this season, he re-ally got after me and prettymuch handled me. That 11-5score has really stuck in myhead. I really used that asmotivation.”

Steiner, who beat Handw-erk at the 2015 MIT, alsomade some adjustments tohis defense and will cer-tainly take a great deal ofconfidence with him to thestate meet March 9-11.Steiner won the 170 state ti-tle last year, while Handw-erk was first at 182.

Both wrestlers requiredseveral stoppages for bloodtime. After Handwerk tiedthe match at 2-all on astalling call with 40 sec-onds left in the match,Steiner sprang into actionand used a slide-by to scorea takedown. He let Handw-erk escape, but then addedanother takedown in theclosing seconds.

While Steiner deservedlystole the show individually,it was a great weekendoverall for the area as 21 of64 qualifiers punched theirtickets to the state meet.

Team-wise Tuslaw ledthe way with Elvis Conkle(160) taking its only titleafter winning by an injurydefault over Waynedale’stop-ranked Kyle Ice.

Taking seconds for theMustangs were Jacob“Boot” Kuhlins (106), BrierMarthey (120) and LoganHall (195), thirds went toIsaac Elliott (132) and KyleRyder (145) and fourthswere scored by Connor

Brennan (126) and Bray-den Phillips (285).

Smithville did not have adistrict champ, but it was arecord-setting day for its pro-gram as Riley Smucker (152,three-time qualifier) and Ja-son Newlan (220) were run-ners-up, John Kelbly (195)placed third and Bailey Blair(160) was fourth. TheSmithies got a bonus whenfifth-place finisher Joe War-ren (285) was awarded astate spot after Grand Val-ley’s runner-up AustinMathis was disqualified for aflagrant misconduct penalty.

Joining Steiner and Con-kle as district champs wereNorwayne’s Gavin Stika(138) and Waynedale’s Lo-gan Stanley (160).

Steiner became Nor-wayne’s first four-time statequalifier, while Stika kepton pace to do the same bypunching his third ticket asa junior.

“It’s definitely reassuringto let you know that you’redoing things the rightway,” said Stika, who im-proved to 43-2 after scoringa takedown in overtime tobeat Triway ’s Br ianPersinger 3-1. “This isn’t asprint, it’s a marathon andwhoever is the most consis-tent will wind up on the topof the state podium.”

Stanley beat Rittman’sManny Garza for the thirdstraight week, this time bya 6-3 score. It was a bitter-sweet day for Waynedale,though. The Bears hadhoped to get several morequalifiers and will anx-iously await results of Ice’sdoctor’s visit to determineif the top-ranked senior’sknee is OK to wrestle atstate.

Tenacious defense leads Eagles to title gameTenacious defense leads Eagles to title gameBy CHRIS SNOWT-G Sports Writer

Ashland University’swomen’s basketball teamjust keeps winning.

The Eagles used a 10-0run in the third quarter topull away from MichiganTech and defeat theHuskies 81-59 in a GreatLakes Intercollegiate Ath-letic Conference semifinalon Saturday afternoon atKates Gymnasium.

With the win, Ashland(30-0) is playing in its thirdconsecutive GLIAC Cham-pionship game, and the Ea-gles have now reached thetitle game in six of the lastseven years, where they are3-2 over that span.

There is a lot of recentpostseason history betweenAU and the Huskies (20-8),as the two teams have metsix times since 2010-11,with Ashland holding a 4-2edge.

The most reason post-season battles between theteams prior to this yearhappened in the 2014-15season when Tech de-feated Ashland 68-52 inthe GLIAC championship;however, AU got the lastlaugh and beat the Huskies70-51 in a Midwest Re-gional Semifinal game sixdays later.

AU beat Tech 82-75 athome on Jan. 5 in the onlyother previous matchup be-tween the two teams thisyear.

Saturday’s game wasmuch closer for the first 21/2 quarters than the finalscore indicates, as theHuskies kept the gamewithin single digits duringmost of that span.

Tech cut AU’s lead tojust six points (43-37) with5:02 left in the third quar-ter, but the Eagles re-sponded with a 10-0 run tobust open a 16-point leadthat the Huskies could notrecover from.

“It is critical,” Ashlandcoach Robyn Fralick saidabout her team’s run. “It’s agame of momentum. Yousee it throughout the wholegame. Every basketballgame you’ll see just teamsgo on runs, and that wasthe turning point for us.

“That we were able toopen up the game, especiallyagainst a team like Techthat’s very capable offen-sively, and have a lot of play-ers that can score, so thatwas definitely a turning pointfor us to extend the lead andget some momentum.”

Ashland applied a lot ofpressure defensively ontothe Huskies throughout thefirst half, but the intensityof the Eagles’ defensive ef-forts kept gradually increas-ing until it got to the pointwhere it was almost toomuch for Michigan Tech tohandle.

“We were a little bit outof sorts — their defense isextremely good,” MichiganTech coach Kim Cameron

said. “We thought we did areally good job in the firsthalf. Unfortunately, it hap-pened fast, and it was back-to-back-to-back.”

During the 10-0 run, theEagles forced Tech into fiveturnovers, and the Huskiesturned the ball over 25times in the game, including15 in the second half.

“The trick with it is tostick with it, and to stickwith it, to stick with it,”Fralick said. “... I thoughtour pressure got better. Atthe beginning of the gamethat was one of the thingswe talked about — we haveto do a better job pressur-ing the ball.

“The other piece is it isjust hard to handle pressurefor 40 minutes if it’s goodpressure,” she said. “if youare doing it well, and youare getting disciplined

traps, and disciplined rota-tions. The trick is to stickwith it, and to stick with itand do it right for 40 min-utes.”

“Our pressure increasedthroughout the game,”Jodi Johnson added, whohad nine steals in thegame. “We knew that ourpressure would disrupt,and throughout the gameit just got better, so we

were able to get steals, andthat was a transition intoour offense.”

She reeled off eightstraight points for a 79-74lead and then hit fourstraight free throws in thelast 7 seconds to close outthe win.

“This is March andwe’re not going to beat ev-ery team by 30 anymore,”Daugherty said. “The ex-perience from today’sgame is so valuable. Hope-fully we’ll be ahead fromnow on, but it’s good toknow we can win late andmake big plays down thestretch.”

Grand Valley startedstrong, breaking throughAshland’s press defense onthe way to a 24-23 lead af-ter one quarter.

AU ga ined cont ro lwith a 6-0 run to openthe second period, butnever could safely pullaway — the largest leadof 10 coming after thefirst possession of thesecond half.

Despite a 7-0 run fromthe Lakers early in thethird, Ashland never lostthe advantage until thefourth quarter , whenGrand Valley pieced to-gether a 10-0 burst to takethat 71-66 lead.

“Defensively, we gaveup way too many easy bas-kets, but we fought,” Fral-ick said. “We had oursbacks against the wall inthose last 3-4 minutes, andI was really proud of theteam for making a lot ofconsecutive winning plays.That’s just not a scenariowe’ve been in a lot thisyear.”

Grand Valley’s TaylorParmley had team-highswith 25 points and sevenrebounds, while PiperTucker added 17 pointsand Janae Langs had 12points and six assists.

The Lakers — whoalso made the NCAATournament and will beback at Kates Gymna-sium on Friday againstUrsuline, with the win-ner of that game likelyto battle Ashland in theregional semifinals —made it all the way tothe Final Four last sea-son, and Fralick said anyteam still alive in Marchcan present challenges.

“Everyone we p layfrom here on out aregood. If you’re still play-ing, you’ve had a greatseason — you haven’tjust had a good season,”Fralick said. “You cansimulate that in practiceand go through it, butuntil the game lights areon and it counts, youcan’t teach that experi-ence.”

down Oilers in GLIACsemifinal

On Saturday night, Ash-land University’s men’s bas-ketball team accomplisheda few things it hadn’t donein quite some time – andone thing it’s never done.

The No. 6-seeded Eagleshave knocked off two fa-

vored teams en route to the2017 Great Lakes Intercol-legiate Athletic ConferenceTournament championshipgame. The second of thosetwo victories came onSaturday at Ferris State, asAshland defeated No. 2-seed Findlay, 100-69.

“I think it was a greatwin for us against a greatopponent,” said Ashlandhead coach John Ellen-wood. “We played hard,and our guys earned a hard-fought victory. I’m veryproud of them.”

Ashland (19-9) will playthe host and top-seededBulldogs (26-4) for the con-ference tournament cham-pionship on Sunday (March5) at 3 p.m. The Eaglescome into the game havingwon 12 of their last 15games.

Saturday’s win is Ash-land’s first all-time in fiveGLIAC Tournament semifi-nal appearances. The 100points also are the Eagles’most in 18 games ofGLIAC Tournament play,

and the first time AU hashit the century mark in anygame since Nov. 12, 2013vs. Oberlin.

Ashland’s 21 3-point fieldgoals are the program’smost since at least the startof the 2000-01 season, andestablish a new GLIACTournament record.

“It’s a great accomplish-ment,” said Ellenwood.“Our guys, their handswere ready. Great shootersget great passes. We justhave unselfish teammates,and it happened that waybecause of all of thosethings.”

The Eagles also beat theOilers twice in the samecampaign for the first timesince 1998-99.

The offense was a bal-anced effort, led by seniorguard Adrian Cook’s 22points on 7-of-10 shootingfrom the field and 4-for-4from the foul line, andsophomore guard NickBapst’s 20 points on 6-of-6from downtown.

Cook passed both Jack

Purtell and Chris Royer tomove into 23rd place onAshland’s all-time scoringlist with 1,063 careerpoints.

Five Eagles scored indouble figures – Cook,Bapst , junior forwardMarsalis Hamilton (16), se-nior guard Boo Osborne(14) and sophomore guardBen Haraway (13). Os-borne skipped past LamontScott into 21st place onAU’s all-time scoring listwith 1,096 career points.

Ashland shot 72.4 per-cent from 3-point range –nearly 10 ful l percenthigher than its previousseason-best of 62.5. TheEagles also dished out 26assists, tying their season-best output.

“All season long, we’vebeen preaching about shar-ing the basketball,” Ellen-wood said. “That’s whatwe’ve been preaching sinceDay 1.”

Overall, Ashland hit 66.7percent from the floor, alsothe team’s best in 2016-17,

and kept the Oilers to 40percent from the field and22.2 percent from the arc.The Eagles also boasted adecided 37-23 reboundingadvantage.

For Findlay , El i jahKahlig led the way with 25points, and Taren Sullivanadded 17.

Saturday’s game was tiedat 13 with 14 minutes leftuntil halftime, then the Ea-

gles ran off 10 straightpoints. Leading 28-17, Ash-land put together anotherrun, this one 11 points in arow, and the rout was on.

Ashland is 9-6 in road/neutral-site games in 2016-17, and 20-9 in such gamessince the start of the 2015-16 season.

Carley Kandel paced thethird-seeded Huskies, whosaw their magical seasoncome to an end at 22-3,with 14 points while Kel-seigh Wright grabbed agame-high 15 rebounds.

The victory catapultsChippewa into its thirdconsecutive regional ap-pearance on Wednesday at6:15 p.m. at Cuyahoga FallsHigh School against 10th-ranked Gilmour Academy(20-5), while GarrettsvilleGarf ie ld (22-4) andYoungstown Ursuline (15-10) tangle in the nightcap.

“We lost a lot from lastyear, but I truly believed wehad enough in place to makeit back to the regionals thisseason,” Chippewa coachDenny Schrock said. “Wenot only had the pieces, butthe right pieces of the puz-zle to be pretty darnedgood. I’ve told our girls allalong that if they share thebasketball, play hard everytime they step on the floor,and play tough defense, thatgood things will happen tothem and they did.

“Today, we had greatbalance on offense, and ourlength really hurt them de-fensively.”

Unfortunately for theHuskies, that was the longand short of the story onSaturday.

Chippewa features four

starters stand 5-foot-10 ortaller, with Richards andLindquist topping out atover 6-0, which created fitsfor Northwestern’s offenseall day long which ac-counted for its season-highmark of 23 turnovers.

Although the Huskies ral-lied from a 14-4 first-quar-ter deficit to grab a 17-16lead, their first since a 4-2advantage early in theopening quarter, and led19-18 at the break, it wasthe first five minutes of thethird quarter that short-cir-cuited the Huskies’ chancesof gaining their first re-gional berth since 1999.

Lindquist scored the quar-ter’s first five points, with aKarovic 3-pointer sandwichedaround another Lindquisthoop that made it 28-19. ABailey Clark bucket on its

next possession finished off a12-0 Chippewa run thatturned a 19-18 deficit into acommanding 30-19 lead with2:59 left in the period.

Northwestern misfiredon its first five shot at-tempts in the quarter, whilecommitting six turnovers.

“We had the momentumat the end of the half for thefirst time in the game, so Iburned my third time out toset a play up for a last shot,so I really couldn’t afford tocall another during the run,”Northwestern coach RoyWoodring said. “They’re solong at every position, thatit makes it tough to enter apass to the post, or to makean easy guard-to-guard pass.Their length disrupts youroffense, and we really neverdid find our rhythm exceptfor a few spurts here and

there. But that run really didknock the wind out of oursails.”

A pair of 3-pointers fromAlly St. Clair and one fromKandel trimmed the lead to33-30 near the end of thethird period, but a Konczbucket fo l lowed by aRichards 3 pushed the mar-gin back to 38-30 to startthe final period.

Another Northwesternmini-run, fueled by fivestraight points from Wright,cut the margin to 38-35, be-fore another Chippewa run,this one a 5-0 spurt, builtthe lead to 45-35 with 5:48left. The Huskies could getno closer than eight (45-37)the rest of the way.

“We battled hard, but acouple of tough spurts costus,” Woodring said. “Westill had a great season,though, and nothing cantake that away from thesegirls, especially our sevenseniors. It’s a bitter pill toswallow in losing, but aneven bigger one knowingthis run is over for our se-niors. We accomplished alot this season, but to see itcome to an end is tough.”

The Chipps sank 10 of 15free throw attempts downthe stretch in icing the vic-tory to set up Wednesday’sshowdown with a talentedGilmore Academy squad.

“We’re going to givethem all we have and seewhat happens,” Schrocksaid. “I’m not making anyguarantees, but I can tellyou we’ll go up (to Cuya-hoga Falls) and play ourtails off against them.They’re a great team, butwe’re playing pretty wellright now, too. We’re look-ing forward to the chal-lenge.”

COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL

Indiana holds off OSU to win season naleIndiana holds off OSU to win season naleBy MITCH STACYAP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS — Thefirst half of Saturday’s regu-lar season finale had all themakings of a satisfyingblowout for Indiana. ButOhio State fought back tomake it a nail-biter, forcingthe Hoosiers tohold on down thestretch to get a 96-92 win.

Robert Johnsonscored 26 pointsand James Blackmon Jr.added 22 points and eightrebounds as Indiana used ahot start to build a big leadand then held off OhioState’s furious second-halfrally.

“We knew it would be ateam that wasn’t going togo away,” Indiana coachTom Crean said. “We knewit would be a team that’sgot a lot of offensive fire-power. They’re anotherteam that, like us, they’recapable of winning againstanybody. But at the end of

the day it comes down toyour decision-making andthings of that nature. It’s agreat win for us.”

Down by 14 at the half,Ohio State came out with a13-3 run to start the secondhalf and tied the game at 64on a Jae’Sean Tate layupwith just under nine min-

utes left.But Indiana (17-

14, 7-11 Big Ten)fired back a 10-1run and was up byseven when Ohio

State called a timeout with6:07 left.

The Buckeyes chippedaway in the final minute,with a C.J. Jackson 3-pointer closing it to twopoints, 94-92, with threeseconds remaining. ButMarc Loving had to foulBlackmon, and he hit a pairof foul shots to put it out ofreach.

“They’re a good team, sowe knew they were goingto fight back at halftime,”Blackmon said. “So we justhad to withstand that and

come together and finish itout.”

Josh Newkirk finishedwith 18 points and ThomasBryant added 16 for theHoosiers, who ended a dis-appointing regular seasonon a high note heading intonext week’s Big Ten Tour-nament.

Tate led Ohio State with20 points, and TrevorThompson had 19 pointsand 11 rebounds. OhioState (17-14, 7-11) lost forthe first time in threegames and likely will playon the tournament’s open-ing day on Wednesday.

Ohio State missed itsfirst four shots of the gameas Indiana drained threestraight 3-pointers andquickly went up 11-0. Afterthat, Ohio State couldn’tget to within less than eightpoints in the half.

The Hoosiers shot 65percent in the first frame,led by as many as 18 andwent up 54-40 at the inter-mission. Johnson had 15points on 6-for-9 shooting

from the floor, and Bryant,Newkirk and Blackmonalso were in double figuresat the half.

“They were making shotsan alarming rate,” saidOhio State coach ThadMatta, who has sufferedthrough the worst year ofhis 17-year career as a headcoach.

BIG PICTURE: Oneyear removed from a BigTen title and NCAA Sweet16 appearance, disappoint-ing Indiana was playing forpride and some momentumheading into the Big TenTournament.

The up-and-down Buck-eyes end a second-consecu-tive disappointing season ona sour note. After a signa-ture win over No. 16 Wis-consin nine days ago, theBuckeyes lose to a team atthe bottom of the Big Ten.On a day they score 92, theygive us 96. It wasn’t hard totell that these were twoteams lacking in defensiveprowess. Both likely areheaded the NIT.

“A couple of differentwebsites had me takingthird and another takingfifth, so this feels prettygood,” Taylor said of thestate analyst’s district pre-dictions. “My one coach(jokingly) kept saying,‘Nice to know you, sinceyou’re going to be a (state)alternate this year,’ so thatalso gave me the drive tokeep going ... to win.”

“We thought he couldwin it, but some other peo-ple didn’t even know if hewould make it out. If any-thing, that motivated him,”Seder added. “As much aswe tell the kids not to readit, we know they look at it.We tell them, ‘Hey, it’sgreat to look at it, but it’sgrown-ups playing guessinggames.’”

Taylor (43-7) placedsixth in the state at 120pounds last season, and isprojected to match upagainst Indian Valley’sDavid Massey (47-4) in thefirst round.

Not to be outdone wasOhl, who had little troublewinning the 152-poundbracket, going 4-0 in thetournament with a first-round pin, a 13-3 quarterfi-nal victory, a 10-2 semifinalvictory and about as domi-

nating of a 5-0 win as you’llsee to beat Wauseon’sXavier Torres for the cham-pionship.

“You reaffirm that he isthe top dog,” Seder said ofkeeping a heavy favorite fo-cused. “We to ld h im,‘You’re job is go out thereand remind everybody whoyou are.’”

Now 52-2 on the season,the record-breaking seniorhas his sights set muchhigher for next weekend’sstate tournament.

Ohl, who is atop the 152-pound bracket after finish-ing seventh in the state at145 last season, is pro-jected to have a first-roundbattle Granville’s LucianoMendicino (34-7), who lastseason was the sixth-placefinisher at 152.

“I couldn’t see myself be-ing happy with anythingelse less than first or sec-ond in the finals,” said Ohl,who immediately after lastyear’s individual state tour-nament said he was deter-

mined to place higher thanseventh as a senior. “Myseventh-place finish was alot of fire during the seasonto try to get into the finals.”

Finishing as district run-ners-up were Maffett —who lost in the finals bytechnical fall to Wauseon’sSandro Ramirez, a two-timestate placer — and Goschin-ski, who was unable to wres-tle in the finals due to theconcussion protocol.

Goschinski was injuredin a semifinal bout with De-fiance’s Robbie Bowers,when he was struck in theface by a hard crossfacethat ended the bout early.

“They sat him (for the fi-nals) because he had to gothrough the concussion pro-tocol,” Seder said. “At first,we were trying to figure outif it was a broken nose or aconcussion, but he was a lit-tle wobbly, so the trainerssaid, ‘It doesn’t seem like hehas his balance, so we’re go-ing to sit him.’”

After further testing,

Goschinski (34-7) is, how-ever, expected to competeat the state tournament,where he is paired withReading’s Baden Pinson(28-2) in the first round.

For Maffett, his runner-up finish is the biggesthighlight of a tough seasonthat saw him miss most ofthe year with a knee injury,and though his 21-10 sea-son record doesn’t impressnext to his opponents inthe state bracket, he’s hop-ing his wrestling will.

First up will be GalliaAcademy’s Kaleb Crisen-bery (51-6), and that win-ner gets a quarterfinal boutagainst a returning stateplacer.

“We are so happy forhim,” Seder said. “He wentfrom his season possiblybeing over to getting hisknee repaired just in timeand then making his ulti-mate goal of making stateas a senior.”

Claiming third was Bever,who took a 12-8 decision

over Vermilion’s Tyler Bath.Bever had lost to PaduaFranciscan’s Pete Abraham10-8 in overtime in the semi-finals — Bever’s secondovertime decision during theevent — and then beat Key-stone’s Tyler McCullough inthe consolation semifinals toqualify for state.

Bever (38-8) drawsHamil ton Township ’sRobert Marquez (40-8) inthe first round.

Taking fourth was Plank,who took a tough overtimeloss to Perkins’ JacobMaslyk in the third-placebout. After Plank secured areversal to tie the bout at 4-4 with 10 seconds in regu-lat ion, both wrest lersnearly scored takedowns inovertime, which Maslyk ul-timately was able to dowith 10 seconds left.

Plank won three bouts inthe consolation bracket toadvance to the third-placebout, including a 3-1 over-time victory over Wauseon’sMauricio Barajas in the con-

solation semifinals.Plank (35-10) — who se-

cured his 100th career vic-tory at districts — is pairedwith Woodridge’s Eli Yoho(37-3) for first-round stateaction.

“Those two will be backwith experience there,”Seder said of having two re-turning state qualifiers onthe roster next season.“Hopefully our freshmanand underclassmen see thatand try to keep pumpingthat out.”

Other district qualifiersfor the Arrows were KenithRespuesto at 113 (1-2, pin)Cohen Robinson at 120 (adistrict alternate who gotinto the tournament andwent 2-2); Jake Visintine at132 (1-2, pin); BrycenLight at 170 (0-2); andTyler Newlan at heavy-weight (0-2).

The Devils had a fewsolid chances, with TaylorHall generating good shots

in each period, thebest being a shoul-der save on apower play in closeearly in the final

period.Former Devi ls Kyle

Quincey also helped pre-serve the shutout. With theDevils on a power playearly in the first period, hehooked Kyle Palmieri tothe left of the net with theNew Jersey wing about tocorral a loose puck andshoot it into an open net.

After a scoreless first pe-riod, Jenner gave the BlueJackets the only goal theywould need, knocking therebound of a bad-angle shotby Cam Atkinson past Sch-neider at 2:45 of the secondperiod.

Bjorkstand got his thirdof the season a little morethan three minutes later,collecting a loose puck nearthe left point, skating intothe right circle and firing ashot over Schneider ’sshoulder.

Gagner had gone 30games without a goal be-fore scoring in a loss to Ot-tawa on Saturday night. Hegot his second in twonights by tapping a re-bound into an open net forhis 16th of the season.

Transportation’s efforts to update itswebsite, with some focus on “publiccomment functionalities.”

According to documents, “This ad-ditional functionality will allow easyaccess for public comments alongwith ODOT's documentation of andresponse to comments and questions.Typical uses will include public feed-back to project plans (as required byFHWA regulation), pre-bid questionssubmitted by contractors, and report-ing of highway incidents and com-plaints from the general public.”

The price tag for the total projectis upward of $1.3 million, accordingto documents.

3. Pity the Browns: Cleveland’sfootball team can’t even catch a breakduring Ohio Supreme Court oral ar-guments.

Consider the following exchangethat happened during a case involv-ing officers’ search of a Youngstown-area apartment:

Attorney Louis DeFabio: “If the po-lice knock at your door, if they’re notarmed with a search warrant, youdon’t have to answer. So if I’m athome watching the Browns and thepolice come and knock at my doorand say, ‘Police, open up,’ I don’thave to open up.”

Justice Judith French: “Well, youmight, to get away from the game.”

4. Leaving Columbus: State Rep.Greta Johnson, D-Akron, announcedher resignation from the Ohio House,effective at the end of the month.She’s taking a position as deputy di-rector of the law department for Sum-mit County Executive Ilene Shapiro.

“The move is both exciting and bit-tersweet,” Johnson said in a releasedstatement, “I am extremely proud ofthe strides I made on behalf of the35th District, as well as the statewiderelationships I established. I will missmy colleagues and staff, but I knowthey will continue to fight for all ofOhio’s residents.”

Johnson is a former prosecutorwho worked in Mahoning and Sum-

mit counties and for the city ofAkron.

Ohio House Democrats will pickher replacement.

5. 2018 Watch: Two more candi-dates declared their intentions to runfor statewide office next year.

Democratic Senate MinorityLeader Joe Schiavoni, D-Boardman,threw his hat into the gubernatorialring, about a week after RepublicanLt. Gov. Mary Taylor launched hercampaign committee for governor.Both of those races could havecrowded fields early on.

Additionally, state Rep. DorothyPelanda, R-Marysville, announcedthat she was running for secretary ofstate. Republican state Sen. FrankLaRose, R-Hudson, and Democraticstate Rep. Kathleen Clyde, D-Kent,also are eyeing that race.

6. Along Those Lines: Such an-nouncements and speculations bringadded significance whenever any offi-cial or rumored candidates forstatewide office speak.

For example, Clyde offered anamendment to the state transporta-tion budget to require bureaus of mo-tor vehicles to provide voter registra-tions for all customers, includingthose who complete registrations on-line.

“Thankfully, we now have onlinevoter registration in Ohio, but over atthe BMV, we still require people tocome to an office in person and usepaper to register to vote,” she said.“The motor-voter law is meant tomake voter registration easier, to beseamless with the business Ohio citi-zens are doing with the state and tokeep our voter rolls accurate and se-cure as cheaply and efficiently as pos-sible. This common-sense amend-ment will do just that.”

Pelanda offered a rebuttal toClyde’s amendment before the pro-posed changes were tabled.

“The right to vote, the exercise ofvoting, is the fundamental way thatwe participate in democracy,” Pe-landa said. “It should require affirma-tive action on one’s part in order toregister to vote.”

7. One More: And on the day thatPelanda made her announcement,

LaRose introduced a joint resolutionto revamp the way the state draws itscongressional districts, with a focuson making that process more biparti-san.

“The current winner-take all ap-proach, used in our state for the con-gressional redistricting process, isunsustainable and leads to unneces-sary friction and dysfunction,” he saidin a released statement. “The citizensof Ohio demand reform. SJR 3 wouldrequire bipartisan compromise, com-pelling statesmen and women towork cooperatively to draw fair andstraightforward congressional districtmaps.”

8. Trump Note: Republican Attor-ney General Mike DeWine was inWashington, D.C., for the NationalAssociation of Attorneys Generalwinter conference. A spokesman con-firmed that DeWine met with Presi-dent Donald Trump as part of theevent.

9. Non-Citizen Voters: Republi-can secretary of state announced thathis office identified another 385 non-citizens who registered to vote in thestate, 82 of whom actually cast bal-lots in elections.

That brought the total of non-citi-zens — those are folks who are in thecountry legally but who aren’t sup-posed to be voting — identified un-der Jon Husted’s watch to 821, with126 who actually cast ballots.

Here’s a little more context on the82 spotlighted this week: Non-citi-zens allegedly illegally voted in 12elections in 2016 (five in the primary,seven in the general election), four in2015 (one in the primary, three in thegeneral), 12 in 2014 (three in the pri-mary, nine in the general), 9 in 2013(one in the primary, eight in the gen-eral), 39 in 2012 (all in the general),two in 2011 (all general) and four in2010 (all general), according to thesecretary of state’s office.

10. Sick Days: House SpeakerCliff Rosenberger, R-Clarksville, wasfeeling under the weather during theweek, so the gavel was passed toSpeaker Pro Tempore Kirk Schuring,R-Canton, who presided over theHouse’s voting sessions on Tuesdayand Wednesday.

Legislation would create violent crimes registryLegislation would create violent crimes registryBy MARC KOVACCapital Bureau

COLUMBUS — Statesenators are consideringlegislation to create a pub-licly available registry ofresidents who have com-mitted certain violentcrimes, with an eye towardassisting law enforcementinvestigations.

Sen. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) has titledSenate Bill 67 “Sierah’sLaw,” in memory of a Ful-ton County college studentwho was murdered lastyear while riding her bicy-cle near her home.

“The person indicted forthis crime lived only milesaway — the same personwho was convicted of abduc-tion of a young female in the1990s in the same area,”

Gardner said in testimonyto the Senate’s JudiciaryCommittee Tuesday. “Hespent three years in stateprison for that felony.”

Gardner said more than10,000 people signed an on-line petition after SierahJoughin’s death urging theestablishment of an Ohioviolent offender registry.SB 67 would require, by theend of the year, the attor-ney general to establishsuch a registry of violent of-fenders, similar to the list-ing of sex offenders that isalready in place.

The bill specifies a hand-ful of offenses that wouldbe covered — aggravatedmurder, voluntary man-slaughter, kidnapping andabduction are included onthe list — but Gardner saidTuesday he wants lawmak-

ers to determine what ulti-mately would be includedand how the registry wouldbe implemented.

“If this bill is going to be-come law, it’s going to bethrough the input and in-sight and the work of acommittee like this that isgoing to have suggestions...” Gardner said. “I wantedto get this before the gen-eral assembly. This hasbeen about seven monthssince Sierah’s death, andwe believe we owe it tothose who have asked us todo this and owe it to basi-cally to the entire state tofind says to make our com-munities safer.”

Members of the Senate’sJudic iary Committeevoiced some concern aboutthe legislation Tuesday.

Sen Cecil Thomas (D-

Cincinnati) questionedleaving the registry’s devel-opment up to the attorneygeneral’s office and notspecified in state code, asthe legislation is currentlywritten.

“If we’re going to do this,it needs to be very specific,not as broad as the attor-ney general having that dis-cretion,” he said.

Gardner welcomed suchquestions and further discus-sion about the legislation.

“What I’m hopeful is thatyou’ll bring then your ideasto the table ... look at theexperience of the otherstates (that have similarregistries in place) and talkto the sheriffs and talk tothe attorney general andthe prosecutors ...” he said.“We need your input andinvolvement, obviously.”

Unclaimed items go for more than half a millionBy MARC KOVACCapital Bureau

COLUMBUS — Bidderspaid more than half a mil-lion dollars for the un-claimed contents of safe de-posit boxes formerly heldby the state and sold lastweek at a public auction.

Bidding on the old coins,pocket watches, preciousmetals and other items

topped $510,000 over thetwo-day sale, according toLindsey LeBerth, a spokes-woman for the OhioDepartment of Commerce.

The items were formerlykept in safe deposit boxesthat were long forgotten orabandoned and had goneunclaimed, in some cases,for decades.

Unclaimed items from1968 through 2000 were

part of last month’s auc-tion. According to LeBerth,1,066 bidders participatedin the sale of 2,080 lots ofitems, with an appraisedvalue of $338,000.

The top-selling lot con-tained two South Africangold Krugerrands, with bid-ding reaching $3,000.

Two other comparablelots sold for $2,900 each,according to LeBerth.

The proceeds from theauction will be depositedinto a state account, in theoriginal owners’ names,less a 15 percent commis-sion paid to the auctioneer.

The state maintains awebsite (com.ohio.gov/unfd), where residents cancheck to see if any forgot-ten payments, security de-posits or safe deposit boxcontents have been posted.

Husted identies more non-citizens who registered to voteHusted identies more non-citizens who registered to voteBy MARC KOVACCapital Bureau

COLUMBUS — Republi-can Secretary of State JonHusted’s office said Mon-day that it has identified an-other 385 non-citizens whoregistered to vote in Ohio,and 82 of those cast ballotsin primary or general elec-tions over the past half adozen years.

Adding to earlier checksof the voter rolls, thatbrings the total number ofnon-citizen voter registra-tions to 821 and non-citi-zens who cast ballots to126 since Husted’s officebegan taking count.

“In light of the nationaldiscussion about illegal vot-ing it is important to in-form our discussions withfacts,” Husted said in a re-leased statement after re-leasing the report Monday.“The fact is voter fraudhappens, it is rare andwhen it happens, we holdpeople accountable.”

He added, “I have a re-sponsibility to preserve the

integrity of Ohio’s electionssystem. When you considerthat in Ohio we have had112 elections decided byone vote or tied in the lastthree years, every case of il-legal voting must be takenseriously and elections offi-cials must have every re-source available to them torespond accordingly.”

Franklin County, homeof Ohio’s capital city, hadthe highest number of non-citizen registrations (92),followed by Cuyahoga (61)and Hamilton (22).

Cuyahoga had the highestnumber of illegal ballots castby those individuals (16),followed by Franklin County(14) and Hamilton (10).

Two non-cit izens inWayne County, two in Ash-land County and one in Me-dina County registered tovote but did not cast ballots,according to Husted’s office.

The non-citizen registra-tions and voting activitieswere discovered during re-views of bureau of motor ve-hicle records. Many of theregistrations likely were sub-

mitted by accident by immi-grants who didn’t realizethey were breaking the law.

Non-citizens who actu-ally cast ballots were re-ferred to law enforcementfor potential prosecution.

Those who registered butdid not vote in an electionwill receive letters askingthem to cancel their registra-tions. And those who fail todo so could face prosecution.

One Democratic statelawmaker remained criticalof Husted’s latest report,calling it “a sad attempt tobolster the president’s lieabout massive voter fraud.”

Rep. Kathleen Clyde (D-Kent) added in a releasedstatement, “SecretaryHusted’s own numbers againprove that ineligible peoplevoting is almost nonexistent.My big concern is: Why arewe always hearing about thisproblem after an electionwhen we can fix it before-hand? My Automatic VoterRegistration bill, Ohio HouseBill 14, would eliminate theproblem of having any ineli-gible voters on the rolls, but

Secretary Husted refuses tosupport my bill.”

The League of Voters ofOhio noted that the allegednon-citizen voters repre-sent a small percentage ofthe millions of votes cast inthe state’s elections.

“Furthermore, it is impor-tant to remember that whatHusted put forward todayare allegations,” ExecutiveDirector Carrie Davis said ina released statement. “Thesecases have not yet been in-vestigated by law enforce-ment or heard by a court. Inthis country, we believe indue process to get to the bot-tom of what did or did nothappen. We don’t know howmany of these people may berecently naturalized citizens.Nor do we know how manyof these people may havebeen told they were allowedto register and acted on badinformation. At this stage,these are merely allegationsthat are being forwarded forfurther investigation by lawenforcement, who will thendecide if any type of prosecu-tion is warranted.”

Tessie’s Tidbits

Celebrating that ‘golden wedding anniversary’Celebrating that ‘golden wedding anniversary’Hi folks! This week marks a

huge milestone in my life ashubby Rich and I will celebrateour 50th wedding anniversary onMarch 11.

As I look back on these 50years and wonder where theywent, I could not help but remem-ber some of the events that led upto that day.

I worked at Mansfield Plumb-ing Products as did Rich and agood friend introduced me to himand as they say, the rest was his-tory.

My dear friend, Sally, loadedme up in her car and away wewent for some shopping and abite of food one night after work,and dumb me never suspectedthat she was stalling for time fora surprise bridal shower thatevening. What wonderful friendsI had and still have!

Does anyone remember theproper etiquette books at thetime? My mother bought onewritten by Emily Post and that iswhere the fun began. I heard “youcan’t do this” and “that is notwhat Emily suggests” so manytimes, I thought I would scream.

When I began planning ourwedding, I kept adding to thebridal party and finally mymother noted that Rich had toomany brothers to include themall! I never gave that a thought. I

finally decided on who would bemy matron of honor as well asbridesmaids and Rich picked fourof his brothers.

I swear my mother memorizedMs. Post’s book and she kept“harping” about the guys of thewedding party wearing whitegloves for an afternoon wedding.“Are you kidding, Mom, they arefarm guys and it will be hardenough to get them to wear whitecoats!” She gave in finally and Ibreathed a big sigh of relief.

Mom also told Rich to blackenthe bottom of his dress shoes sothat that light color on the soleswould not glare at the people ashe knelt at the altar. Mom was sonervous at the time of the cere-mony, she forgot to look.

I thought I was being so calmand collected until I started downthe aisle and my dad thoughtthere would be no bouquet tothrow as the petals would beshaken off!

The dresses were bought at theWedding Belle in Loudonville,the cake was done in Millersburgat the Norman Bakery, flowers atKiefer’s and the ladies of thechurch oversaw the reception,which was held in the fellowshiphall of the church. There was nobig dinner or dancing afterwardslike today’s galas. Everyonestayed as we opened our gifts.

When we left the church, adownpour of rice fell upon ourheads as we got into the car forthe parade through town withhorns blowing.

Rich and I were planning a tripto Washington, D.C., for our hon-eymoon and when we got in thecar to leave, the most horriblesmell filled the inside of the carand we suffered with that odoruntil it finally burned away.Someone had smeared limburgercheese on the manifold pipe andit was awful! We blamed DickFliger for years and years for thisprank only to discover Rich’sornery uncles were the culprits.

A stint in the U.S. Army fortwo years thanks to the militarydraft and then we began our livesas a family when Sharon and Ja-son were born.

We have had our ups anddowns, joys and sorrows, but wehave endured each of these testsand have grown stronger becauseof them. Marriage is a give-and-take affair, and it has been quitean adventure and I can’t wait tosee what happens next!

■Birthdays of local folks this
