Got insurance? Maybe not Many people may receive cancellation notices BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Many people who buy their own health insurance could get surprises in the mail this fall: cancellation notices because their current policies aren’t up

to the basic standards of President Barack Obama’s health care law. They, and some small businesses, will have to find replacement plans — and that has some state insurance officials worried about consumer confusion. Rollout of the Affordable

Care Act is going full speed ahead, despite repeal efforts by Republicans. congressional New insurance markets called exchanges are to open in every state this fall. Middle-class consumers who don’t get coverage on the job will be able to pick private health plans, while lowincome people will be steered to

an expanded version of Medicaid in states that accept it. The goal is to cover most of the nation’s nearly 50 million uninsured, but even Obama says there will be bumps in the road. And discontinued insurance plans could be another bump. See INSURANCE/Page 5

Close quarters Sidney firefighter Brian Lundy tries to escape from a rope filled crawl space during a Sidney Fire Department “mayday” training obstacle course behind the City of Sidney Fire Station No. 1 Wednesday. The course includes a floor that gives way, a chain fence that pins them to the ground and a window they have to fall head first through. The firefighters have to do it all while blindfolded.

Retiring Sidney Police Chief Kevin Gessler said the difficult economic times facing the city when he arrived four years ago presented him with his biggest challenge as chief. As he prepares to step down on Friday, Gessler said he will be leaving a smaller, “more efficient” department. “When I came here in 2009, the country was faced with very difficult economic challenges and obviously we were in Sidney as well,” Gessler said in reflecting on his tenure in Sidney. “On a positive note, FRIDAY IS Police Chief we were able to trim Kevin Gessler’s last the budget and re- day as chief for the duce costs, but we city of Sidney.

Council OKs supplemental appropriations BY MIKE SEFFRIN mseffrin@sdnccg.com Sidney City Council dealt with financial issues Tuesday night, approving supplemental appropriations and contract rates for Shelby Public Transit. Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the following supplemental appropriations for the 2013 budget year: • General fund, $9,700 for outfitting a new firefighter and purchase of a computer tablet and rear cameras for vehicles. • E-911 fund, $23,000 collected by the state from cell phone users for implementation and maintenance of wireless 911 systems. • Capital improvement fund, $20,000, to appropriate a donation from Emerson Charitable Trust for play equipment and $10,000 no longer needed for fire radio repeaters will be used toward the purchase of a utility truck for the fire department. • Stormwater improvement fund, $4,826 for grading and seeding of ground at site of the Wapakoneta Avenue storm sewer outlet project. • Drug law enforcement fund, $18,265 for a cooperative drug enforcement program. • Fire loss security fund, $22,500 for insurance proceeds. • Swimming pool fund, $2,581 from donations from Alvetro Orthodonics and Cargill for swimming lessons. Council adopted an ordinance to increase contract rates for services provided by Shelby Public Transit to Shelby Jobs and Family Services, Area Agency on Aging, PASSPORT and Fair Haven Adult Day Care. The ordinance increases the hourly rate from $50 to $53; the perpassenger rate from $19 to $20; and the per-mile rate from $4 to $4.25. In other action, council passed resolutions: • Amending the city’s pension withholding program for police and fire department members of the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund. The

change is in response to recent state legislation that increases the employee contribution rate over the next two years. • Reappointing Gregg Anderson to the Airport Advisory Board, Tom Martin to the Board of Building Code of Appeals, David Gross to the Downtown Design Review Board, and Tom Burns to the Revolving Loan Fund Committee, and appointing Todd Ratermann to the Recreation Board. • Authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement for electric generation supply with a competitive provider. Sidney is one of 25 cities and municipal organizations that participate in a regional purchasing agreement for electricity. the current Under agreement, the group has saved more than $3.5 million, city officials said. The current agreement will end Dec. 31. In other business, council: • Discussed the ongoing Wapakoneta Avenue improvement project north of Russell Road. Councilman Rick Sims said changing the timing of the traffic signal at the Wapakoneta/Russell intersection has helped the traffic situation. City Manager Mark Cundiff said asphalt is scheduled to be down by Monday, which should aid customers’ access to businesses. • Heard Law Director Jeff Amick report that state action regarding Internet cafe regulations means council won’t have to act on the matter. • Looked at meal packets brought to the meeting by Parks Director Duane Gaier. The packets will be used in the city’s backpack meals program and will be given to participating children on Fridays this summer to cover part of their weekend food needs. Each pack contains two meals and two packs will be given to each child. Cargill provided funding for the program. • Went into executive session to discuss pending litigation and public officials (boards and commissions).

Both Ferryman and Hopper died in the New Year’s Day shootout at the trailer park near Springfield. Another officer was wounded. Supporters say the Ohio bill will help authorities know more about mentally ill people with a criminal history in their communities. Mike Weinman, director of government affairs for the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, said having the mental health information would help officers craft their response to a situation. For instance, Weinman said some authorities are

trained in crisis intervention and could be among the first sent to a scene. “It’s a little tougher when you walk up to cold and somebody they’re acting out,” Weinman said. “You wouldn’t necessarily know. But if you have the advanced warning through dispatch and you run his name through a database, that stuff will pop up.” State Rep. Ross McGregor, a Springfield Republican, acknowledged lawmakers could only do so much to protect those in an inherently dangerous profession.

Still, he said, “The more knowledge that we can give the men and women who put on the uniform when they’re responding to these situations, hopefully, the more prepared they will be to react to any situation that may arise.” An estimated 450 people in Ohio are on conditional release, according to the Ohio Department of Mental Health. That figure includes individuals who are found not guilty by reason of insanity and those who are determined to be incompetent to stand trial.

Money shielded from audit COLUMBUS (AP) — House Republicans fast-tracked a measure Wednesday shielding proceeds of JobsOhio’s $1.5 billion liquor deal from public audit, over the objections of the Republican state auditor and legislative Democrats. The move followed a high-profile faceoff this spring between JobsOhio, which is Gov. John Kasich’s private nonprofit job-creation office, and Ohio Auditor Dave Yost, a fellow Republican. Yost sent a representative to the Statehouse on Wednesday to ask lawmakers to delay the provision, but he failed to stop it from clearing a midday committee vote and the House floor, by a 61-34 vote, a few hours later.

The amendment explicitly limits Yost’s authority to auditing JobsOhio’s public funds, and clarifies that proceeds from the sale of bonds backed by state liquor proceeds for the next 25 years are not public funds but private ones. Democrats strenuously contested the move, saying it would allow secret dealings by the job-creation office that’s been the subject of legal and political disagreements since its creation in 2011. Democratic state Rep. Connie Pillich, of suburban Cincinnati, said Ohioans are “clamoring for transparency and for accountability” in government.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Army staff sergeant charged with slaughtering 16 villagers in one of the worst atrocities of the Afghanistan war will plead guilty to avoid the death penalty in a deal that requires him to recount the horrific attack for the first time, his attorney told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales was “crazed” and “broken” when he slipped away from his remote southern Afghanistan outpost and attacked mud-walled compounds in two slumbering villages nearby, lawyer John Henry Browne said. But his client’s mental state didn’t rise to the level of a legal insanity defense, Browne said, and Bales will plead guilty next week. The outcome of the case carries high stakes. The Army had been trying to have Bales executed, and Afghan villagers have demanded it. In interviews with the AP in Kandahar last month, relatives of the victims became outraged

at the notion Bales might escape the death penalty. “For this one thing, we would kill 100 American soldiers,” vowed Mohammed Wazir, who had 11 family members killed that night, including his mother and 2-year-old daughter. “A prison sentence doesn’t mean anything,” said Said Jan, whose wife and three other relatives died. “I know we have no power now. But I will become stronger, and if he does not hang, I will have my revenge.” Any plea deal must be approved by the judge as well as the commanding general at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where Bales is being held. A plea hearing is set for June 5, said Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield, an Army spokesman. He said he could not immediately provide other details. “The judge will be asking questions of Sgt. Bales about what he did, what he remembers and his state of mind,” said Browne, who told the AP the commanding general has already approved the deal. “The deal that has been worked out … is

they take the death penalty off the table, and he pleads as charged, pretty much.” A sentencing-phase trial set for September will determine whether Bales is sentenced to life in prison with or without the possibility of parole. Browne previously indicated Bales remembered little from the night of the massacre, and he said that was true in the early days after the attack. But as further details and records emerged, Bales began to remember what he did, the lawyer said, and he will admit to “very specific facts” about the shootings. Browne would not elaborate on what his client will tell the judge. Bales, an Ohio native and father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., had been drinking contraband alcohol, snorting Valium that was provided to him by another soldier, and had been taking steroids before the attack. Testimony at a hearing last fall established that Bales returned to his base between attacking the villages, woke up a fellow soldier and confessed.

Teacher fired while pregnant testifies Torsell to present CINCINNATI (AP) — A teacher fired from Catholic schools after becoming pregnant through artificial insemination told jurors Wednesday she didn’t know that the procedure violated church doctrine or that she could be fired for it. Christa Dias sued the

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati and the schools over her dismissal, contending they fired her simply because she was pregnant and unmarried. Her attorney, Robert Klingler, has said the firing violated federal law prohibiting pregnancy discrimination.

Testifying on the second day of trial, Dias choked up at times and wiped tears from her eyes as she described being fired in October 2010 and told she would be escorted off the property. “I was just in shock,” she said. Dias, who is gay, said

she and her same-sex partner had discussed the possibility that being pregnant and unmarried could cause a problem with her employers. But they thought she could explain that the pregnancy was through artificial insemination and not premarital sex.

OPSB approves Buckeye II Wind Farm COLUMBUS — The Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) has modified and approved Champaign Wind, LLC’s request to construct the Buckeye II Wind Farm in Champaign County. In its decision, the Board authorized Champaign to build wind turbines at 52 of 56 proposed locations across 13,500 acres of leased private land in Goshen, Rush, Salem, Union, Urbana, and Wayne townships. The facility will be capable of generating up to 140 megawatts of electricity. “With the certification and construction of new generating facilities like the Buckeye II Wind Farm, Ohio continues to make strides to comply with the requirements of Senate Bill 221,” Chairman Todd A. Snitchler stated. “While we will continue to rely on traditional base load generation from coal, other resources such as natural gas and wind power are beginning to play a valuable role.” Following careful consideration of the issues presented in this case, the Board found that the Buckeye II Wind Farm meets the eight criteria established by Ohio law for new generating facilities in the state. In addition, the wind farm will have a positive

impact on Champaign County, the townships, and local communities through the collection of additional tax revenue. The facility represents the minimum adverse environmental impacts as required by law, with appropriate conditions applied during construction and operation of the facility. The wind farm is also consistent with the regional goals of continued agricultural activity and farmland preservation within the project area. Champaign Wind is required to implement 72 conditions that will be monitored and enforced by the Board. Among these conditions, the Board denied construction of four proposed turbines that conflict with setback requirements. Other conditions address a variety of issues including shadow flicker, noise, construction damage to roads and agricultural land, and decommissioning of the facility. Champaign Wind submitted an application to construct the Buckeye II Wind Farm to the Board on May 15, 2012. The Board’s staff filed its report of investigation on Oct. 10, 2012. The Board held a local public hearing in North Lewisburg on Oct. 25, 2012. This hearing was attended

by more than 200 local residents, and 45 people testified. The adjudicatory hearing for the case began on Nov. 8, 2012, and was completed on Dec. 6. This hearing included the examination of 36 witnesses and produced 3,010 pages of testimony. Under Ohio’s alternative energy portfolio standard, 25 percent of electricity sold in Ohio must be generated from alternative energy sources by 2025. At least half of this energy must come from renewable energy sources, including wind, and one half of the renewable energy facilities must be located in Ohio. With the addition of the Buckeye II Wind Farm, the OPSB has approved certificates for 10 wind farms across the state totaling 639 turbines and 1,302 megawatts of generation capacity. Additional information regarding the Buckeye II Wind Farm is available on the Board’s website at www.OPSB.ohio.gov (OPSB case number 12-0160-EL-BGN). The Buckeye I Wind Farm, also located in Champaign County, was approved by the Board in 2010. An amendment to the Buckeye I Wind Farm is currently pending before the Board.

ST. MARYS — The Auglaize County Historical Society will present “Working in History: Stepping Stones and the Paths We Choose” by Rebecca Torsell on Monday at 7 p.m. at the St. Marys Community Public Library, 140 Chestnut Street, St. Marys. The presentation is part of the Historical Society’s second quarter membership meeting. A St. Marys native, Torsell will speak about historic house preservation and explain how a girl from St. Marys became a professional historian. The event is free and open to the public. Torsell was born and raised on a small dairy farm outside of St. Marys. After graduating from Memorial High School (2000), she attended Bowling Green State University and then Wittenberg University, from which she graduated in 2004. She self-designed her major, entitled “World Culture,” through which she received a Freeman Scholarship, allowing her to spend the summer after her graduation studying in Shanghai, China. After working for almost two years, Torsell returned to school, where she obtained a master’s degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University. Formerly assistant to the administrator of the Steamship Preservation Society of America, Torsell has most recently been working for the U.S. Forest Service at Gladie Historic Site in Frenchburg, Ky. The Gladie Cabin is a reconstructed log home dating back to the late 1800s, during the logging period of Kentucky's history. Today, the Gladie Historic Site still features the Gladie cabin and shows what life would have been like for these early settlers. The brief membership meeting will begin at 7 p.m., with Torsell’s presentation to follow immediately. For more information, call the Historical Society at (419) 738-9328 or email auglaizecountyhistory@bright.net. The Auglaize County Historical Society was established in 1963. Its mission is to collect, preserve, interpret and share the history of Auglaize County and its people through exhibits, programs and publications. Follow the Historical Society on Facebook.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Thursday, May 30, the 150th day of 2013. There are 215 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 30, 1943, during World War II, American troops secured the Aleutian island of Attu from Japanese forces. On this date: • In 1431, Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. • In 1883, 12 people were trampled to death in a stampede sparked by a rumor that the recently opened Brooklyn Bridge was in danger of collapsing. • In 1911, the first Indy 500 took place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway; the winner was Ray Harroun, who drove a Marmon Wasp for more than 6 hours at an average speed of 74.6 mph and collected a prize of $10,000. • In 1913, the Treaty of London was signed, formally ending the First Balkan War. (The Second Balkan War broke out the following month.) • In 1922, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was dedicated in a ceremony attended by President Warren G. Harding, Chief Justice William Howard Taft and Robert Todd Lincoln. • In 1937, ten people were killed when police fired on steelworkers demonstrating near the Republic Steel plant in South Chicago. • In 1958, unidentified American service members killed in World War II and the Korean War were interred in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery. • In 1962, Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem had its world premiere at the new Coventry Cathedral in England. • In 1971, the American space probe Mariner 9 blasted off from Cape Kennedy, Fla. on a journey to Mars. • In 1972, three members of the Japanese Red Army opened fire at Lod Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, killing 26 people.

OUT OF THE BLUE Flow of Blue Nile diverted ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia is starting to divert the flow of the Blue Nile to construct a giant dam that is raising fears in Nile-dependent and water-starved Egypt. The official Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency quoted Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnin as telling officials at a Tuesday ceremony diverting flow at the dam construction site that the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will provide hydroelectricity not only for Ethiopia but also for neighboring countries. Downstream nations Egypt and Sudan have objected to the construction saying it violates a colonialera agreement which gives Egypt nearly 70 percent of Nile River waters. Ethiopia says the dam will not affect Egypt and that the 1959 agreement ignores the needs of five upriver countries. Some 84 percent of the water from the world’s longest river originates in Ethiopia.

Assad to remain president BEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s foreign minister laid out a hard line Wednesday, saying Bashar Assad will remain president at least until elections in 2014 and might seek another term, conditions that will make it difficult for the opposition to agree to U.N.sponsored talks on ending the civil war. Any deal reached in such talks would have to be put to a referendum, Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem added in a TV interview, introducing a new condition that could complicate efforts by the U.S. and Russia to bring both

sides together at an international conference in Geneva, possibly next month. Drawing a tough line of its own, the main exile-based political group, the Syrian National Coalition, reiterated that any negotiations require “the head of the regime, security and military leadership to step down and be excluded from the political process.” While the Assad regime has agreed in principle to attend peace talks, the opposition has not, insisting it first get international guarantees on the agenda and timetable. The coalition has been meet-

ing for the past week in Turkey but spent most of that time arguing about membership issues, rather than making a decision about Geneva. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday that while Russia and the United States have asked him to convene a meeting as soon as possible, “there are still many elements that we have to clear.” He said there is still no agreement on a date, on who will participate, and on the membership of a united opposition delegation. In his wide-ranging com-

ments, al-Moallem, an Assad stalwart with decades in top positions, reflected a new confidence by the government. The regime had seemed near collapse during a rebel offensive last summer but has scored a number of battlefield successes in recent weeks. “Our armed forces have regained the momentum,” he told the Lebanese station AlMayadeen, suggesting that the regime is digging in. Asked when the civil war might end, he said: “That depends on when the patience of those conspiring against Syria will run out.”

Aging America: Seeking softer retirement landing AP Photo/michelebachmann.com

THIS IMAGE taken from michelebachmann.com, shows Congresswoman Michele Bachmann making a video announcement on her website. Bachmann, the staunchly conservative ex-presidential candidate who once called Barack Obama “anti-American,” said Wednesday she will not seek re-election in the House of Representatives.

Bachmann to leave House after fourth term ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann announced Wednesday that her fourth term in Congress will be her last, choosing to leave on her own terms after a dismal 18 months in which her presidential bid collapsed and she barely managed to retain her House seat. Bachmann, a leading figure in the tea party movement, discussed the decision in a Web video sent to supporters by email. She said her departure was unrelated to ethics inquiries stemming from the failed presidential run and “was not influenced by any concerns about my being reelected.” After eight years in Washington, Bachmann left the door open to other political options, though she didn’t say what those might be. She was traveling in Russia as part of a congressional delegation and was not available for interviews. It was a sudden turn for Bachmann, the foster-parentturned-conservative politician whose climb to prominence roughly coincided with the rise of the tea party. She swiftly became a face of the movement and helped found the tea party caucus in the House. But she was also at risk of being left behind as the movement matured. Her departure is part of a larger shift in tea party personalities such as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Rep. Allen West of Florida and former South Carolina

Sen. Jim DeMint, who have moved over into conservative organizations and commentary roles. They’ve slowly been replaced by a new round of tea party-backed lawmakers such as Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah and Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho. “The movement had moved past her to a new round of leaders in Congress and the states around the country,” said Dick Wadhams, a Colorado-based Republican strategist. “In a short period of time, a new generation has stepped forward since the last election.” Ron Carey, a former chief of staff to Bachmann, said he suspects she was anticipating a tough battle ahead and seemed to be stuck in place in Congress. “This is a great chance to exit stage right rather than have a knockdown, drag-out re-election fight,” said Carey, also an former state GOP chairman. “The reality also set in that she is not a favorite of Republican leadership, so she is not going to be rising up to a committee chair or rising up in leadership.” In the nine-minute video, Bachmann said her decision “was not impacted in any way” by the inquiries into her presidential campaign last year. In January, a former Bachmann aide filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming Bachmann made improper payments to an Iowa state senator who was the state chairman of her 2012 presidential run.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — There is an oft-told story about what happens when a worker at the Stanley Consultants engineering firm decides to retire. “They say you have the retirement party one day and you come back to work the next,” said Mary Jo Finchum, spokeswoman for the Muscatine, Iowa-based company. Stanley is among the U.S. employers that have offered workers a softer landing into retirement, allowing them to scale back hours as they prepare to take the plunge and move into part-time positions once it’s official. “It’s really the best of all worlds,” said John Sayles, a 79year-old planner at Stanley who cut his hours before formally retiring in 2003, but who has continued to work part time in the decade since. “I’ll probably do it as long as the company would like me to help out.” Like most phased retirement programs, Stanley approves participants case by case. Those who take part before officially resigning must work at least 20 hours to maintain their health benefits. Once they’ve officially retired, workers can cash in shares through the company profit-sharing plan and make 401(k) withdrawals, even if they continue to work part time. Dale Sweere, Stanley’s human resources director, said phased retirement gives employees a way to maximize their retirement savings and the company a way to retain a highly experienced employee who often has built close ties with clients. It also slows costs and productivity losses tied to turnover, and responds to a desire from employees who want to remain engaged in work, just not as much. “They don’t want to just walk away from the profession,” Sweere said. “And to try to replace these people, especially with the amount of experience they’ve gained, is very difficult.” The phased retirement idea was born in Sweden in the 1970s and gained a foothold in the U.S. soon after. Sarah Rix, a policy adviser at AARP who worked on the issue in its early years, said it has been hard to quantify how

INSURANCE Also, it doesn’t seem to square with one of the president’s best known promises about his health care overhaul: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.” But supporters of the overhaul are betting that consumers won’t object once they realize the coverage they will get under the new law is superior to current bare-bones insurance. For example, insurers will no longer be able to turn people down because of medical problems. Other bumps on the road to the new health care law include potentially unaffordable premiums for smokers unless states act to waive them, a new $63-perhead fee that will hit companies already providing coverage to employees and dependents, and a long-term care insurance program that had to be canceled because of the risk it could go belly up The Obama administration did not respond directly to questions about the po-

many people have taken part in such programs because most are informal. A 2010 study by AARP and the Society for Human Resource Management found that 20 percent of employers had phased retirement programs in place or planned to start them. Companies that do embrace the concept often cite the wishes of older workers, who, surveys show, list flexibility as a priority in the twilight of their careers. Businesses also see phased retirement as a way for employees to transfer knowledge to their replacements and to mentor younger workers. It also is a way for them to reduce the payroll without losing a valued employee’s expertise and experience. “We’re helping not only the retiree to transition, but the retiree is hopefully helping us to transition too, by passing on that corporate memory,” said Judy Gonser, director of benefits and labor relations at The Aerospace Corporation, whose engineers have been at the helm of a variety of space-age projects, including missile defense. The company lets employees take unpaid leaves of absence to give retirement a test run, switch to part-time status ahead of a full retirement, and gives retirees a chance to return to part-time work. Phased retirement has been most widespread on university campuses and, to a lesser degree, among government and health care workers. It has been far less common among blue-collar workers. “Some jobs are rather easy to split,” said Robert Clark, a North Carolina State University economist who has written about phased retirement. For example, he said, professors teaching two classes a semester could easily trim their schedules. The salary savings might go toward hiring a less experienced, less expensive instructor. Many formal phased retirement programs let employees maintain health insurance, vacation and other perks, and continue building up their retirement benefit. Others are more like consulting agreements, with retirees returning to work as independent contractors without benefits.

From Page 1 tential fallout from cancellation notices. Instead, Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters released a prepared statement saying: “Beginning in October, individuals and small businesses will be able to shop for insurance in the marketplace, where we are already seeing that increased competition and transparency are leading to a range of options for quality, affordable plans.” For the most part, state insurance commissioners are giving insurers the option of canceling existing plans or changing them to comply with new federal requirements. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected. Seen as consumer safeguards by the administration, the new requirements limit costs paid by policyholders, and also expand benefits. That includes better preventive care, and also improved prescription coverage in many cases. The

most important feature may be protection for your pocketbook if you get really sick: The new plans limit copayments and other out-of-pocket costs to $6,400 a year for individuals. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners says it is hearing that many carriers will cancel policies and issue new ones because administratively that is easier than changing existing plans. About 14 million Americans currently purchase their health policies individually, a number expected to more than double eventually because of the new law’s subsidies and one-stop insurance markets. But the transition may not be seamless. “The impending changes … have the potential to cause policyholder confusion,” said a recent memo from Iowa Insurance Commissioner Nick Gerhart to insurers. Though a Republican-led state, Iowa is helping to carry out major portions of the health care law.

Here are some hints from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to keep you and your family safe: • Drivers should sit at least 10 inches away from the center of the steering wheel. • Children 12 years of age and younger always should be secured in a seat belt in the rear seat of the car. • If a child must sit in the front seat, make sure the seat is positioned as far back as possible from the air bag. • Infants in rear-facing infant seats never should be placed in front of an air bag. Again, they should be in the rear seat of a car at all times. • Do not ride with legs or feet up on the dashboard! You could end up with broken legs or worse! — Heloise PAINTED LUGGAGE Dear Heloise: Since I am a quilter, I painted a quilt block on both sides of my checked luggage. I also painted the handles white on my entire set of luggage. No question which bags are mine. — Ella O. in Louisiana

Holy Angels Parish in Sidney will celebrate Jesus’ gift of salvation and his presence in the world in a special way on Sunday, the Feast of Corpus Christi.

Daniel Schmitmeyer, pastor of the parish. “Because we believe the Eucharist really is Jesus, then we adore our Lord in the Eucharist,” Schmitmeyer added. “Lifting up

Botkins program gets grant COLUMBUS – The Shelby County Educational Service Center announced the Ohio Center for Law Related Education selected the Botkins Bully Busters as one of two school programs in Ohio to receive the Youth For Justice Implementation Award and Grant. The grant, in its inaugural year, will provide financial assistance to two teams: one team from the Youth for Justice Division I, grades four to six, and one team from Division II, grades seven to nine. The competitive grant is awarded to Youth for Justice teams that need assistance in implementing their projects to remedy injustice in their communities.

Botkins Bully Busters, a group of sixth-graders from Botkins Elementary School, identified bullying as a problem in their community. After researching the problem, they learned that when anti-bullying is introduced at early ages, bullying is reduced. Jan Jones, the team adviser and giftedblended learning specialist at the school, said the team has done a great job in putting together an education program to fight the bullying problem. “They have used an educated approach and worked very hard on it,” Jones said. “They have worked on making a difference and keeping it sustainable. Their

thought was that if other kids brought the message, it might be more easily received.” “The Bully Busters is addressing an important issue in their communities,” said Executive Director Lisa Eschleman. “It is an honor that the center is able to provide the Implementation Grant to aid teams in fulfilling their project objectives. Seeing students take part in civics at such a young age is very inspiring.” Recipients were announced at the Closing Ceremony of the Youth for Justice Summit, held at the Riffe Center in Columbus on May 7.

“Guide to Anorexia and Bulimia” by Robert DiCuio, PhD. Dr. DiCuio estimates that one in 100 young women, and one in 2,000 young men between 13 and 18, will develop anorexia nervosa and that about 10 percent will die as a result of medical complications. Rarely can those who suffer from anorexia overcome this illness without the assistance of professionals. DR.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, May 31, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) By working behind the scenes, you can make positive changes and clean up something, perhaps related to shared property, taxes or inheritances. People with influence will listen to you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Discussions with an older female or someone in a position of authority might cause you to rethink your ideas about politics or religion. You might see things in a new light. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Give serious thought to your life's direction. Specifically, take a realistic look at what support from others you can count on, or not. This could be a deciding factor. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Long-range travel plans look doable today. However, someone close to you might want you to make changes. No worries -- these changes likely will be for the better. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might look with new eyes on an arrangement regarding shared property or anything you own jointly with others. Now you see a better way to do things. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Sit down with someone close to you and make future plans, especially about dealing with children, or perhaps how to improve vacation plans. Look at all angles today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You can introduce improvements at work today, and others will agree with you. You might even extend your ideas to your own home life. Why not? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) New romance might begin for some of you today. If so, it will be powerful and quite possibly with someone who is older or more established. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're in the mood to make sweeping improvements at home. You want to get rid of what is no longer relevant or necessary. Out with the old, in with the new! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Sit down with someone to discuss longrange plans for the future. These plans might affect your closest relationships or even your appearance and how you dress. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be on the lookout for a new job or way to earn money on the side. Others might see new uses and applications for something they already own. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might get advice from someone older and more experienced today. If so, truly listen. Someone in a group, someone powerful, might say something that can help you in the future. YOU BORN TODAY You have an exterior that conveys an image of being tough and cool. But in fact, you are sweet and sentimental. Nevertheless, when needed you are strong, capable and down to earth, and you get results. In this respect, you're a self-assured straight shooter. You're also adaptable and resourceful. A lovely, social year ahead awaits you. (All your relationships will improve.)

part cool, such as swimming, may be helpful. Ice or other cooling can be dangerous, however. Making the diagnosis is difficult, and many people with this condition have seen specialists or have been misdiagnosed. Although there is no cure for erythromelalgia, there are several different treatments, and sometimes it takes multiple tries to find one medicine — or, more likely, a combination of medicines — that helps. I found a very useful website at www.erythromelalgia.org. DEAR DR. ROACH: Can you provide a safe and simple way of disposing of unused and/or leftover antibiotics? I have several almost-empty bottles of antibiotic eardrops,

as well as a few pills. Is there something they can be mixed with to make them harmless? —A.H. ANSWER: The recommended way of disposing of any prescription medication is to remove it from its container, put it into garbage, preferably mixed with something like coffee grounds or cat litter, and place the whole lot into a sealable bag or empty can to keep it from breaking out. Don’t flush it down the toilet (unless the patient information sheet specifically tells you to). This keeps the medication from getting into the water supply, and keeps children or pets from inadvertently taking the medication. Some communities have takeback programs to allow for proper disposal.

He suggested that I stress to you the importance of finding a mental health professional you can trust and confide in, and have another thorough evaluation done. In recent years newer drugs and therapies are being used which may help you, so you shouldn’t give up. In a case like yours, a combination of medication and talk therapy can be helpful.

AND ENDS

OHANNESBURG (AP) — Tourists have long flocked to the hometurned-museum of former President Nelson Mandela on Vilakazi Street, a lively strip of restaurants, curio sellers and street performers in the South African township of Soweto. Now the area has a growing attraction: big snakes, and lots of them. Resident Lindiwe Mn-

gomezulu allows curiosity-seekers to get a closeup look at the non-venomous snakes she keeps in her home, and she drapes them over tourists' shoulders for a small fee. She and her 19year-old daughter, Nolwandle Duma, started raising snakes three years ago after going to see a snake show and coming away impressed.

Other data on participants include male riders, 59 percent; female riders, 41 percent; firsttime GOBA riders, 27 percent; and veterans of 10-plus years, 23 percent. The oldest male registrant is from Greenwich, Ohio, at age 86. The oldest female is from Richmond, Va., at 80. A number of children traveling in trailers with their parents share the honor of being the

youngest. About 20 percent of riders represent multiple generations of a family, who are riding together. The age distribution reportedly shows that once again GOBA is one of the largest weeklong bicycle tours with such a high proportion of family participation, event organizers said.

She was one of the first six women to study in the Department of Architecture at Ohio State University and the first one to graduate with an architecture degree — in 1930.

hinder his ability to lead the department. “I don’t think it affected my effectiveness,� he said, noting when he went back to Wheeling, W.Va., on some weekends he was only a three-hour drive from Sidney. “I knew that if I received a call that I was needed, I would be there in three hours,� he said. Gessler remarked that he had confidence in his administrative staff to handle situations in his absence. “As chief, you have to have enough confidence that you let your people do what they need to do,� he said. Gessler and his wife, Mari, have two adult children, Kevin Jr. and Kari. After 28 years of structured police work, Gessler said he is looking forward to spending a great deal of time with his family without any specific plans. He didn’t get such a break when he retired as Wheeling police chief four years ago “I retired on a Friday and started in Sidney on the following Monday,� Gessler recalled. Gessler also plans to continue his favorite pastime of umpiring baseball games, something he has enjoyed during his time in Sidney. He plans to spend more time on the golf course, as well. As far as long-term plans, Gessler said he plans to pursue work as a consultant with private industry. “Having 28 years in the field, I’m sure I would be attractive to some companies,� he said. Current Capt. Will Balling will be sworn in Friday as the new police chief. Gessler said he has confidence in great Balling’s abilities. Over the past few years, Balling has sought to learn from Gessler. An open house in Gessler’s honor will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the police station. Balling will be sworn in as the new chief at 3 p.m.

While he was aware of possible resentment of someone who didn’t come up through the ranks becoming chief, Gessler said he didn’t encounter any major problems. “It was a very short time until I felt very welcome and felt a part of the organization,� he said. Gessler said there were a number of dangerous situations during his tenure, all of which ended peacefully. He recalled being in the dispatch area when the first-such incident occurred. “The first event that was very public and very dangerous was the chase the involved the tractor part of a semi,� he said, noting that the high volume of traffic and the speeds of the semi tractor could have led to tragedy. With the help of other law enforcement agencies, the chase ended without incident when officers, thanks to a tip from an off-duty Sidney officer, were able to bring the truck to a halt. Gessler said (now retired officer) Clarence Stephens, who is very knowledgeable of trucks, called in to say that if an officer fired a shot into the truck’s radiator, the vehicle’s computer would shut down the engine. One of the officers in the chase was able penetrate the radiator, bringing the truck to a halt. The Tactical Response Team was called out several times during Gessler’s tenure when suspects holed up before surrendering to police. One of the incidents involved a bank robber. “We had several incidents where our officers showed a great deal of restraint,� Gessler said. The incidents showed that all of the training exercises led to the officers carrying out their successfully. duties “Everything worked like clockwork,� he said. A native of West Virginia, Gessler said his decision not to move his family to Sidney did not

Dealing with the economic crisis did result in positions not being filled following retirements. He said the department had 40 sworn officers when he arrived, and now has 36 officers, including the chief. “We are a smaller department, but we are much more efficient than we were,� he said. “Hopefully, as the economy improves, they will be able to re-implement staffing to get back where we were.� Gessler pointed out that while the department eliminated the community resources officer position, “we were able to keep the school resource officer at Sidney High School and the DARE officer for all the elementary schools.� He said other ways the department coped with the budget constraints included restructuring the shifts for dispatchers and revising the vacation policy for staff. The department also saved money on training by having sessions held in Sidney, instead of officers having to travel to gain training. “We have a lot of training here and that reduced our travel expense,� Gessler said. The efficiency of the department was aided by the implementation of an information technology system that eliminated officers having to file reports with pencil and paper, instead doing it electronically. Having experience from implementing a similar system as chief of the Wheeling Police Department, Gessler said he used those experiences to help bring the local system to fruition. Gessler was the first person from outside the department to serve as Sidney police chief. “I have to tell you that there was a little anxiety on my part, especially succeeding the tenure of Chief (Steve) Wearly, he was very well liked and respected in the community,� Gessler said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We were way up, and it looked like we were in really good shape. It was party time. Now, it’s root canal.” — Cal men’s golf coach Steve Desimone, after his team’s poor play at the end of the second round of the NCAA Tournament Wednesday

Fairlawn has four at state Division III Regional meet gets underway at Piqua PIQUA — After one night of competition in the Division III Regional Track Meet at Piqua, Fairlawn has already qualified four athletes to next week’s State Track and Field Meet. Finals were held in both 3200 relays as well as five field events, and it was in the latter where Fairlawn excelled. The names were familiar ones, led by Olivia Cummings, who will try to qualify in two events to state like she did last year. She’s already there in one after winning the shot put with a heave of 41 feet, 6 inches. She will compete in the discus on Saturday. Trey Everett, the Honor Roll leader all season in the high jump and long jump, took second in the long jump with a distance of 22 feet, 1.5 inches to earn a state berth. And teammate Anthony Gillem soared 21 feet, 3 inches to take fourth and also qualify. And finally, Cole Cummings, made it two from the same family by taking second in the discus with a distance of 157-8. He was one of three Shelby Countians to qualify in the discus. Ryan Spicer won the regional title with a distance of 159-5, and Lehman’s Brad Montgomery took third with a toss of 154-4. Montgomery’s distance was a personal record by two inches. Anna also qualified Megan Fogt to the state meet after she placed second behind Cummings in the shot put with a heave of 39 feet, 8.5 inches. Cummings and Spicer weren’t the only county athletes to win regional championships. Fort Loramie senior Qwinton Scheer cleared 13 feet, 4 inches to win the pole vault. He will be joined by two Minster vaulters as AJ Huelsman was second and Alan Tebbe third, both at 13 feet, 2 inches. In the girls high jump, meanwhile, Gina Kramer of Marion Local was first, Amanda Winner of Versailles second and Bethany York of Versailles fourth, all clearing 5 feet, 3 inches. The 3200 relays were also held Wednesday night, and it was a good night for County and area girls foursomes. Minster won the event in 9:36.92 with the team of freshmen Katherine Burke

Reds lose to Indians 5-2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Justin Masterson pitched six solid innings, Jason Giambi and Mark Reynolds homered, and the Cleveland Indians broke a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night. Masterson (8-3) worked out of a bases-loaded jam with nobody out in the sixth to preserve a 2-1 lead. Cincinnati's only run off the right-hander came on Joey Votto’s two-out homer in the first. Giambi’s three-run homer in the sixth off Bronson Arroyo (5-5) pushed the margin to four runs for Cleveland, which scored only 14 runs

Ropin’ the Win

Kevin Harvick wins a wild Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte By MIKE HEMBREE

The Coca-Cola 600, a featured event on NASCAR’s Cup schedule since 1960, is the sport’s longest race. Now it also might be the strangest. This year’s version of the dayto-night, 400-lap marathon had a little of everything — three red flags, a bizarre television camera incident that damaged several cars, injured some fans and delayed the race for a half-hour, an on-track meeting between boyfriend and girlfriend and (naturally) an unlikely winner. When the race finally ended at 11:37 p.m. (ET), 23 minutes before the start of the Memorial Day holiday, Kevin Harvick stood above the fray to record his second victory of the Sprint Cup season and his second in the 600. He led only 28 laps across the long span of the evening but was in front for the final 11. The driver who had the fastest car didn’t win the race, and it’s not the first time this year that circumstance has bitten Kasey Kahne. He led 161 laps, almost 50 more than anyone else, but, oddly, was hurt by being in front of the rest of the field late in the race. Kahne held a relatively comfortable lead with 15 laps remaining when debris on the frontstretch caused the night’s 11th — and final — caution. Kahne and crew chief Kenny Francis faced a tough

decision — pit for fresh tires and give up the lead or hold track position and hope some of the others followed suit. Kahne stayed on the track. Everyone else in the lead pack, including second-place Harvick, pitted for tires. That left Kahne on an island to himself, making him easy fodder for the restart. He and Harvick started under the final green flag of the night side by side, but Harvick breezed by Kahne relatively easily and wasn’t challenged the rest of the way. Kahne finished second, Kurt Busch third, Denny Hamlin fourth and Joey Logano fifth. “We just thought that some of the guys would stay out,” said Kahne, who finished second for the third time this year. “We felt like three cars that had pitted a few laps earlier would stay out and that would be a big enough buffer to someone who had two or four tires so that we could get away. Didn’t happen.” Harvick didn’t lead a lap until late in the race but had one of the night’s best cars when it counted. “Kevin was really digging all day long,” said team owner Richard Childress. “This is a grueling race. That’s what it’s meant to be. He sat there and just dug and dug and dug and came through.” The race was interrupted by one of the most unusual events in recent NASCAR history. On lap 121, a nylon rope supporting an overhead Fox Sports

camera snapped and fell across the racing surface and part of the turn-four grandstand. Several cars, including those of leader Kyle Busch, Mark Martin and Marcos Ambrose, hit the rope, and each was damaged. The rope injured several fans in the grandstands, none seriously. The problems resulted in a scenario seldom seen in NASCAR racing. The race was stopped for 15 minutes as officials allowed the teams whose cars were damaged by the rope to make repairs. Then the field was returned to the track in the order in which the cars were racing when the incident occurred. “I’m glad that NASCAR was able to let the guys fix their cars that were involved in it to try to get back to where they were to be competitive,” Harvick said. The race was red-flagged to a stop twice immediately after the rope incident. The red flew again on lap 327 when seven drivers, including Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., were involved in a wild crash along the frontstretch. Seven laps earlier, Stenhouse had been involved in a crash with Danica Patrick (his girlfriend) and defending series champion Brad Keselowski. Teammates Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch had strong cars, but Kenseth faltered in the second half and finished 15th, and Busch left the race after 257 laps with a blown engine, finishing 38th.

A worthy class elected to NASCAR Hall By MIKE HEMBREE The panel of voters choosing the members of the NASCAR Hall of Fame hit a home run with the announcement of the names of the 2014 class, the fifth to be chosen for the downtown Charlotte, N.C. shrine. Elected were drivers Dale Jarrett, Jack Ingram, Tim Flock and Fireball Roberts as well as engine builder Maurice Petty, brother of HOF member Richard Petty and the source behind the powerful engines of the Petty Enterprises era. Voters chose the five from a list of 25 nominees, many of whom eventually will be picked for the hall. The question for most on the nomination list becomes not if they will be chosen but when. Jarrett and Petty were on the nominees’ list for the first time this year, and some were surprised that they were chosen so soon.

42 Years of Professional Service

There is no question that both Jarrett and Petty are deserving. Petty toiled for years in the shadow of his brother (Richard), father (Lee) and cousin (Dale Inman, also already in the hall as a crew chief), but he retained the respect of insiders as the center of an engine shop that dominated the sport for decades. Jarrett won only 32 Sprint Cup races — not a standout number in the grand scheme, but he won the 1999 championship and was a star on big stages, winning the Daytona 500 three times and the Brickyard 400 twice. The thinking of some observers is that relatively young candidates like Jarrett (he’s 56) should wait while the sport’s pioneers file into the hall. But, to their credit, voters have shown an inclination to mix more recent heroes (Rusty Wallace, Darrell Waltrip and

H elman Bros. BODY SHOP Guaranteed Quality!

Jarrett, for example) with stars of earlier eras (Flock and Roberts). The hall, which has not attracted the attendance figures that organizers projected, needs the “star” quality of individuals like Waltrip and Jarrett, people who are still involved with the sport via television and individuals who can “sell” the hall with public appearances and publicity. It would not necessarily be a good thing for the hall to have a class of five 1950s1960s era individuals, particularly if all were inducted posthumously. That being said, the individual most strikingly absent from the hall list after the first five classes is one who has yet to appear on the nomination list — legendary crew chief and mechanic Smokey Yunick, who was in virtually a perpetual duel with NASCAR executives and inspectors but built one of the most successful and colorful careers in the sport’s history.

Probably the most physically demanding race on the schedule for both the car and the driver. The loads that the car and driver endure when they drop into the corners there are as intense as anywhere we go on. Fortunately, the track is concrete, so the car will stay more consistent throughout the day, but it’s just a tough track on equipment. The biggest challenge is the tire we have now — it lays the rubber on top of the track so the driver has to kind of work around that as the day progresses.” NATIONWIDE SERIES

Classic Moments Dover International Speedway Entering the 1995 Miller Genuine Draft 500 at Dover International Speedway, few could have blamed Kyle Petty for being pessimistic about his chances of a victory or even a strong finish. After all, Petty had qualified 37th at one of NASCAR’s toughest tracks, and he was driving a car that had finished 20 laps down the previous weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. But Petty, as much to his own surprise as anyone else’s, enjoyed a stellar Sunday afternoon at The Monster Mile. After avoiding a first-lap melee that impacted nearly half the field, Petty methodically made his way forward to lead 271 of 500 laps and ultimately held off a hard-charging Bobby Labonte by .22 seconds for what would be his eighth and final victory in NASCAR’s top series. In addition to the fast-closing Labonte, Petty had another concern in the closing laps: breathing problems, triggered by what was thought to be a carbon monoxide leak in his car. Petty made it to the finish, however, and left Dover an unlikely winner.

Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Over the years, “Jimmie Johnson at Dover” has had the same mystique in racing that “Jordan at MSG” did for basketball, and rightfully so; in the CoT era, he led 1,765 laps, won four times and averaged a finish of 6.3. Pretty Solid Pick: While Johnson led the series in wins at Dover in the CoT era, Kenseth has the most top-5 finishes (nine) of any single driver by a margin of two races. The most recent of his two wins came in the May 2011 race. Good Sleeper Pick: The fall 2012 Dover winner has only six Cup races under his belt there, and while the results have been mixed, his average running position has been on a positive trajectory, improving from 24th in 2010 to fifth in 2012. Runs on Seven Cylinders: The Monster Mile is a challenge for Stewart. In the last five Dover races, he has averaged a finish of 24th and failed to finish on the lead lap. Insider Tip: Track position and qualifying are important in Dover’s tight confines, because when accidents happen they typically sweep up numerous cars.

After his car was damaged by a falling camera rope as he led the race, Busch climbed from the car on pit road and examined the right front fender, which had been sliced by the rope. Because his crew could not work on or examine the car at that point, Busch picked up a cell phone from a pit crew member and shot photographs of the damage to show crew chief Dave Rogers. The damage was repaired later. HAMLIN RISING Denny Hamlin, trying to restore his season after missing four races because of a back injury, had a solid if not spectacular night in Charlotte, finishing fourth in the 600. The run boosted Hamlin three places in the point standings to 24th. Hamlin’s preliminary goal is to reach at least the top 20 with a win or two, a scenario that would give him a shot at earning a wild-card spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. BATTERY FOR BUSCH Kurt Busch had a shot at scoring his first win for Furniture Row Racing as he led eight laps late in the race. But Busch’s night was stained by an apparent battery failure while the field was under a red flag because of debris on the track after an accident at lap 327. Busch held the lead at that point but had to pit for a new battery. He eventually finished third. SQUID SIGHTING? It was the sort of sight a driver never expects on track during a race — a rope flying across the speedway and into cars. Marcos Ambrose’s Ford was one of the cars hit by the rope, which fell from a television camera unit over the track. “It was like getting attacked by a giant squid,” Ambrose said. “It was just flapping, and I didn’t know what was going on. I thought it was cords coming out of maybe one of the 55’s (Mark Martin’s car) tires or something, but I could just hear it flapping.”

named MVPs No. 32 back where he atSix Fairlawn banquet belongs — with Browns CLEVELAND (AP) — As outspoken, unapologetic and intimidating as ever — even at age 77 — Jim Brown has reunited with the Cleveland Browns. Still going strong, the great No. 32 is back where he belongs. “Here I am,” he said. The Hall of Fame running back, who was estranged for years from the NFL team where he starred in the 1950s and ‘60s — after his previous role was eliminated by former president Mike Holmgren — was welcomed back to the Browns on Wednesday by new owner Jimmy Haslam. Brown will serve as a “special adviser,” focusing on community work, interacting with fans and helping mentor players. called Haslam Brown’s return a “very special and significant day in Cleveland Browns history.” Brown’s homecoming has been in the planning stages for months, and after a few meetings with Brown, Haslam was pleased to bring back “the greatest Brown of all.” “He’s not only the most famous Cleveland Brown of all time and best player that’s ever played here,” Haslam said. “One of the reasons the Browns remain so popular is when a lot of us were growing up, they followed 32 and he was their hero. So to have 32 back on our team and working with us and being part of not just the Browns but the Cleveland community is tremendously important.” Brown, who retired in 1965 at the peak of his playing career to become an actor, is thrilled to be again working for the Browns, his pro football family and the team he helped lead to its last championship in 1964. The years he was disconnected were difficult, but Brown, who was accom-

SCOREBOARD

‘Pacman’ finally settles in CINCINNATI (AP) — Adam “Pacman” Jones is finally in a comfortable place, playing up to expectations after years of digging his career out from another mess. And he’s thinking big for whatever time he has left. The cornerback has developed into a regular with the Cincinnati Bengals, who gave him a final chance after years of off-field problems and missed opportunities. He’s an important part of a defense that finished sixth last season in yards allowed. The 29-year-old cornerback has not only revived his career after a year out of football, he’s starting to embellish it. “And the story ain’t written all the way yet,” Jones said on Wednesday following one of the team’s offseason workouts. “So we’ll see.” His story was mostly a bad drama after Tennessee took him with the sixth overall pick in 2005. He repeatedly got in trouble off the field, resulting in repeated suspensions. He missed the entire 2007 season on suspension and sat out the 2009 season when no NFL team was interested. The Bengals gave him a final chance, and he has taken advantage of it. Jones started five games last season and

He also returned punts, running one back 81 yards against the Browns for his first touchdown since 2003. He’s found a home. “It’s been great,” Jones said. “I’ve got a lot of guys in the locker room that I can trust. The people upstairs (in the front office) have been great. With the injuries I’ve had, they’ve had me stick around.” In addition to signing him for the 2010 season, they stuck with him after he damaged a disc in his neck and missed nearly a year. He also

missed time with a hamstring injury. He has played in 29 games overall with the Bengals, starting 13 of them. Coach Marvin Lewis said one of the biggest changes in Jones has been the way he now studies the game. He understands defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer’s methods better, allowing him to be in the right spot and do the right thing. “Really, before I got here I just relied on straight athleticism and ability,” Jones said. “With Zim, you have to

know what you’re going to get out of certain formations, know when you are getting the ball toward your way, know what different offenses are trying to attack when we’re in certain calls.” Jones would love to get deep into the playoffs — the Bengals have lost to Houston in the first round each of the last two seasons. He thinks Cincinnati’s defense, which added linebacker James Harrison in the offseason, is good enough to do it. “We have a good group,” he said. “If we can keep everybody healthy, we should have a good run at it.” Harrison, who left the rival Steelers after they failed to agree on a restructured contract, has been learning the defense a little more each day during two weeks of OTA workouts. Harrison said the switch from Pittsburgh’s 3-4 alignment to Cincinnati’s 4-3 hasn’t been much of an adjustment. He expects to have a little different role, however. “I think I’ll be covering a little less here,” Harrison said on Wednesday. “I believe they’ll have me rushing (the passer) a little more than I have been in Pittsburgh the previous few years.”

More than 200 black bear sightings reported in Ohio COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) received 224 sightings reported from an estimated 93 black bears in 2012. Sixty-five of the 224 sightings reported were confirmed by ODNR Division of Wildlife personnel. The number of total sightings in 2012 increased from 152 in 2011. Five black bears accounted for 62 sightings in 2012, although a majority of these were unconfirmed. The number of confirmed sightings is similar to recent years; 60 were confirmed in 2011 and 64 in 2010. Twenty-one counties

had confirmed sightings in 2012 from an estimated 35 bears. Northeast Ohio had the most sightings: Portage County had the most total sightings (36) and Trumbull County had the highest confirmed sightings (10). Portage County had six confirmed sightings, while Ashtabula, Geauga and Mahoning counties had five each. There were 39 nuisance reports in 2012, and 17 were confirmed. Nuisance or destructive behavior includes damage to bird feeders, beehives and garbage containers. Black bears were sighted during every

month of 2012, and 80 percent of the sightings were reported from May to September. Three sightings of a sow with cubs were unconfirmed, and two sightings of lone cubs were also unconfirmed. The black bear is native to Ohio and on the state’s endangered species list. All black bears in Ohio are protected by state law. Black bears are usually fearful of people. Bears do not attack or kill children or pets as long as the bear is given its space and not cornered. Enjoy bears from a distance. People should remain calm if they see a

ST. MARYS — Approximately 100,000 yellow perch fingerlings will be released at Grand Lake St. Marys on Friday, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). This is the second year that Ohio’s largest inland lake has received a stocking of yellow perch. In 2012, 100,408 perch were yellow stocked. Friday’s yellow perch stocking is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the East Bank Marina, near the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s St. Marys State Fish Hatchery. A fingerling is approximately 1.5 to 2 inches long, and it will take about three years for the fish stocked Friday to reach a size large enough to keep. This will help boost future fishing

FISHING

opportunities provided by the existing population. A long-term goal is to establish a self-sustaining yellow perch fishery at Grand Lake St. Marys and eliminate the need for additional stockings, through a naturally-reproducing population. Perch, being a predator fish, may also be effective in reducing the rough fish population. Grand Lake St. Marys crappie fishing has also been excellent during the past two years, and anglers continue to reel in large numbers of good-sized fish. Bluegill and bass fishing is also excellent. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.

FORECAST

Inland Lakes and Rivers CENTRAL OHIO Griggs Reservoir (Franklin County) - This 361-acre lake in Columbus offers shore-fishing access on the east side of the lake. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are hitting right now. Try plastic tubes and creature baits fished along rip rap and cover for best results. Crappies are still being found in shallow water around woody cover. Use minnows or jigs suspended by a bobber fished right in the cover. Carp are large and plentiful in this local lake. Use prepared baits and dough balls. NORTHWEST OHIO Bresler Reservoir (Allen County) - Located 4 miles west of Lima, 1 mile south of State Route 81 and 1 mile north of State Route 117 on Kemp and Grubb Roads, this reservoir is 582 acres in size. Bluegill should be biting right now. Anglers should try the east end of the north bank. Slip bobbers and jigs with wax worms usually work the best. Walleye can also be found in the reservoir. Try fishing the shoreline drop-off along the edge, as well as around the underwater island. Drifting or trolling worm harnesses or crankbaits in the mornings and evenings usually produce the best results. There is a boat ramp located on the east side. Boats are restricted to electric motors only. SOUTHWEST OHIO Lake Loramie (Shelby County) — Channel catfish are biting on chicken livers, shrimp, and stink baits fished on the bottom. Bluegills have been caught recently around boat docks, rip rap shorelines, and along the edges of lily pads. Try using small jigs tipped with wax worms fished just 1 to 2 feet under a small bobber. LAKE ERIE Western Basin Walleye fishing was excellent over the past week (as of 5/28). The best areas were from the turnaround buoy of the Toledo shipping channel to West Sister Island, "D" can of the Camp Perry firing range, N of Kelleys Island, and E of Kelleys Island. Trollers have been catching fish on worm harnesses or with divers and spoons. Drifters are using worm harnesses with bottom bouncers or are casting mayfly rigs. Yellow perch was good

over the past week (as of 5/28). The best areas have been "B" can of the Camp Perry firing range, E of Kelleys Island shoal, and E of Kelleys Island airport reef. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Central Basin Walleye have been caught off Rocky River in 53 feet of water fishing on the bottom using worm harnesses. A few have been walleye caught off the Cleveland Crib area in 50 feet of water and also in 26-34 feet of water NW of Fairport Harbor. Anglers are trolling dipsy and jet divers with worm harnesses, spoons and stick baits. Yellow perch fishing has been good weather permitting in 32-34 feet of water N off Gordon Park in Cleveland, in 42 feet of water N of Cuyahoga River light house, in 50-55 feet of water N of Mentor Lagoons. Fishing has been very good in 38-40 feet of water N of the Ashtabula and in 38-49 feet N of Conneaut. Perch spreaders with shiners fished near the bottom produce the most fish. Shore fishing has been good off the E. 55th St and E. 72nd St piers in Cleveland. Anglers are using spreaders with shiners and the mornings have been best. Smallmouth bass fishing has been very good in 15 to 25 feet of water around harbor areas in Cleveland, Fairport Harbor, Geneva, Ashtabula and Conneaut. Largemouth bass are also being caught in the same areas. Anglers are using soft-craws, leeches, tube jigs, and crankbaits. White Bass fishing has been good in the Grand River up to the Uniroyal hole. Channel Catfish has been very good along the Grand River. Anglers are using chicken livers and large chub. The water temperature is 59 degrees off of Toledo and 57 degrees off of Cleveland according to the nearshore marine forecast. • Listen to the Lake Erie Fishing Report • Maumee River and Sandusky River walleye fishing reports • Steelhead fishing reports Anglers are encouraged to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device while boating.
