‘Perfect day’ for festival Fundraisers successful for local groups JACKSON CENTER — After a wet start for the festival on Thursday night, the Jackson Community Days was blessed with nice weather for the annual parade and other events Sunday as the festival came to a close.

“It was a perfect day,” Bruce Metz, village administrator and member of the Community Days organizing committee said of Sunday’s pleasant weather and activites. Metz said festival had good crowds on Saturday and Sunday following a small turnout on Friday night.

“Friday night it rained early and the crowd never showed up,” Metz said.

Local groups operating food stands did well with weekend sales. Metz explained the festival is major fundraiser for the groups, such as the Jackson Center Fire Department’s bratwurst sandwich stand. He said the stand raises money for the two $500 scholarships the department awards to graduating seniors.

The float participated in the Jackson Center Community Days parade Sunday.

30 graduates turn dream into reality PIQUA — Thirty students from the Upper Valley Career Center Adult Basic and Literacy Education (ABLE) program turned the dream of graduating into a reality Saturday. The annual event was attended by Upper Valley Career Center and ABLE staff members, special guests from the Western Ohio Chapter of the Korean War Veterans Association, family, friends, and special guest speaker, Troy Mayor Michael Beamish.

Mary Ellen McKinley, ABLE Instructor, welcomed those assembled and commended the graduates for their strong self discipline and perseverance in achieving this milestone accomplishment. Special tribute was paid to three graduates who by demonstrating superior work ethic, attendance and academic success earned the honor of induction into the

National Adult Honor Society.

Those individuals include: James Stengel of Sidney, Paula Bixler of Bradford and Marica Kristic of Tipp City.

Beamish congratulated the graduates and challenged them to use this achievement as a new beginning.

“All of you have reached a goal today and should be proud. Let this serve as a foundation to lifelong learning,” Beamish said.

He went on to commend the graduates on their hard work and encouraged them to set new goals and learn new skills.

“Don’t stop here; use this as an opportunity to grow and move forward,” Beamish said.

Why is there an overlap of the two taxes?

Editor's note: In preparation for the August special election, the Sidney Daily News, in conjunction with the Citizens for Sidney Schools levy committee, will be publishing a question of the week to inform voters about the fiveyear, 1 percent income tax levy.

Why is there an overlap of the 5 year, 1 percent income tax and the retiring 9.9 mill property tax levy?

Property taxes are paid a year behind, so although the 9.9 mill school levy expires in 2013, it will be collected in 2014. Assuming voter acceptance,

SIDNEY SCHOOL

LEVY FACTS

the 1 percent income tax begins collection Jan. 1, 2014. There will be only one payment (in April) to Sidney City Schools in its 2014 fiscal year ending June 30 and “school districts can count on that payment being relatively small.”

“It will take approximately one and a half years for districts to receive the full amount.”* To maintain sufficient cash balance throughout the transition, the income tax needs to be ramped up while the 2013 property tax from the retiring

9.9 mill levy is being paid in 2014.

The estimated revenue from the 1 percent income tax is $4,773,662 per year. To assure that no more than this amount is collected between the 9.9 mill property tax and the 1 percent income tax, the Board of Education at its May 20 regular meeting passed a resolution to reduce the collection rate of the 9.9 mill levy as follows: “To proceed, contingent upon passage of the 1 percent income tax on Aug. 6, 2013, with a request for the County Auditor to reduce the 9.9 mill emergency levy colSee LEVY/Page 3

High grass leads to warnings from Quincy Council QUINCY — Mayor Dan Robinson reported at a recent Quincy Council meeting that the owners of properties who have not mowed their grass have been notified of the problem.

He said due to a lack of manpower, the village will no longer be able to mow properties where the owners are not taking care of the high grass problem themselves. Instead, the village will contract out the work, which will be at a higher rate. The cost will then be assessed to property owners on their property taxes.

Council also discussed other nuisances in the village. It was noted that vehicles must be licensed and operable in order to be stored on a property. Vehicles that do not meet these requirements will be towed at the owners’ expense, village officials reported. Property owners will be notified of the problem and given time to handle the problem before towing is ordered. The county dog warden also has been notified of the problem of dogs running free in the village.

The village has suspended spraying for mosquitoes. The cost is $175 per application.

Council accepted the resignation of Tina Purtee as chief of the Quincy-Miami Township Rescue Squad and approved Mike Dodson as her replacement. Purtee will continue as a member of the squad.

Council briefly discussed the defeat of two twomill levies in the May 7 election. One levy was for street improvements and the other was for general operations. It was noted that the general operations levy, which lost by 10 votes, would have been used to pay for street lights. The street levy ended in a tie, which means the issue was defeated.

Council awards contract DEGRAFF — At a recent meeting, DeGraff Village Council awarded a street work contract to Asphalt Systems at a cost of $5,571, contingent on the availability of funds.

The other bidder on the work, Ray Hensley, submitted a bid of $9,072 for chip/seal work and $8,750 for skin patching.

Council member Gloria Armstrong reported a village employee has been doing cold patch repairs on village streets.

Council voted to pay the Logan County Engineer’s Office $1,114 for repairing a dip in the pavement at the intersection of Ohio 235 and Main Street.

Amstrong also reported the recent spring clean-up went well. She

has suggested possible ordinances for the spring/storm clean-up and is seeking council input.

Parks Committee members reported the DeGraff Country Fair is set for Sept. 5-7. In other village news, community yard sales are set for Saturday and that all signs must be removed following the sales.

In new business, council approved a grouting project at a cost of $17,500. Council also agreed to have a demographic study conducted. The study is needed for grants and loans the village may seek.

Council agreed to have the summer (JuneAugust) meetings on the third Tuesday of the month.

Laywer-legislators could see tax beneft

BY JULIE CARR SMYTH The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Many of Ohio’s nearly three dozen lawyer-legislators — including leaders in both parties — could benefit personally from a small-business tax break that’s been restored to the state budget.

Most law firms are set up as so-called passthrough entities, which pass the tax burden, or benefit, of the organization through to individual owners or partners.

The Republican-led Ohio Senate restored the proposed tax break targeted at small businesses to the two-year spending plan last week. The Ohio House had stripped the measure out in favor of a statewide 7 percent reduction in Ohio’s personal income tax.

Neither chamber supported Republican Gov. John Kasich’s idea of extending the state sales tax to a laundry list of new professional services, including those provided by legal, accounting and lobbying firms.

Records show 32 of Ohio’s state lawmakers — 21 representatives and 11 senators — are lawyers, including heads of three of four legislative caucuses.

The small-business proposal allows individuals to write off 50 percent of their first $750,000 in business income annually. That could amount to

Number of lawyers

But lawmakers’ relationships to the profession vary and the tax impact isn’t clear.

“At this time, I’m not aware of this benefiting any lawmakers directly,” said House spokesman Mike Dittoe.

The House is led by Republican House Speaker William Batchelder, a former judge not currently practicing law. The leader until recently of House Democrats, state Rep. Armond Budish, is a partner in his Cleveland-area law firm. He was recently replaced by state Rep. Tracy Maxwell Heard, a nonlawyer.

Dittoe said state

ethics law does not prohibit a legislator whose law firm or other small business is affected by the tax exemption to vote on the issue. A bill must have “a definite and particular effect on his perpecuniary sonal interests,” not broad statewide impact, to pose a conflict.

The Ohio Senate is led

by Republican Keith Faber, the principal partner in Faber and Associates in Celina. The Senate’s Democratic leader, Sen. Eric Kearney, is an associate in a Cincinnati law office headed by his wife, JanMichele, according to the Ohio Supreme Court’s attorney database.

Faber has touted the plan as an economic boost to Ohio’s small business sector, with more potential for a direct impact on job growth than the statewide income-tax cut Kasich had proposed and which the House partially supported.

Democratic state Sen. Joe Schiavoni, a lawyerlegislator from Boardman, said he owns a small share in his family law firm — but he doubts the tax break will mean more than “a couple hundred dollars” to him as well as to other small-business people.

“Giving business owners an extra $500, $1,000 — even $1,500, $2,000 — that’s not going to make them hire anybody new,” he said.

Wind farm opponents challenge state approval URBANA (AP) — Opponents of a multimillion dollar wind project that would build at least 52 wind turbines in southwest Ohio are chal-

lenging a state board’s approval of the project’s next phase.

phase of the Buckeye Project.

The Wind Springfield News-Sun reports that opponents living near the proposed project want that decision reviewed.

The board decision allows 52 of 56 proposed turbines to be built across several townships in Champaign County.

Project developers say the wind farm could mean up to $55 million to the local economy.

Members of Union Neighbors United have concerns about noise, shadows cast by the blades and other issues.

The siting board has approved 10 certificates for wind farms across the state, totaling 639 turbines.

OHIO GOV. John Kasich (left) congratulates Chardon High School graduate Nick Walczak, who was paralyzed by a gunshot to his back by T.J. Lane in February 2012, during Chardon’s commencement ceremony Saturday at the Mentor Fine Arts Center in Mentor. Behind Nick, Chardon High School placed three roses and the names of the three students who lost their lives in the shooting, Demetrius Hewlin, Russell King Jr. and Daniel Parmertor to honor them as part of the class of 2013.

Three slain students remembered at graduation CHARDON (AP) — Gov. John Kasich was among those remembering three 2013 class members killed in a teenage gunman’s rampage on the day the slain would have graduated from high school in northeast Ohio.

Kasich told Chardon High School students, faculty and families in commencement remarks Saturday that the tragedy has strengthened them.

He urged graduates to carry their sorrow and help heal the world.

Vases of flowers were displayed at the event for the three shooting victims, Daniel Parmertor, Russell King Jr. and Demetrius Hewlin.

Two students wounded in the Feb. 27, 2012, shooting graduated with their class. A third wounded student graduated last year.

T.J. Lane is serving a life sentence for the shooting rampage. He was at Chardon waiting for a bus to the alternative school he attended.

Army dad watches son’s graduation from Afghanistan LIMA (AP) — An Ohio high school made it possible Sunday for a soldier serving in Afghanistan to watch his son graduate.

Lima Senior High School streamed its commencement ceremonies live online so that Army Spc. Dave Sodders could watch his middle son, Doug, turn the tassel.

Sodders said he hoped the arrangement would let Doug know his dad was present.

“I am glad Lima Senior has a way for me to watch it,” Sodders said in an email from Afghanistan to the Lima News. “It is a big deal for kids to have their parents there to see them graduate, but this way I hope he knows I will be there in spirit.”

The family knew when Sodders left for Afghanistan in August that he wouldn’t be able to attend Doug’s graduation, so Doug’s mother, Lisa Sodders, called Lima schools and asked

for help. It’s one of many times she’s made special efforts to keep the family connected during her husband’s year away.

Last October, a blown up picture of Dave Sodders’ head attached to a paint stick attended Doug’s high school soccer recognition program.

“So dad has been with us,” she said. “We have gotten creative over the year.”

Sodders joined the Army in the mid-1980s, serving in Operation Desert Storm. After getting out in 1994, he rejoined three and a half years ago because he missed it. Before August, the longest he’d been away from his wife was three weeks.

“The toughest for me has been trying to do it all by myself,” Lisa Sodders said. “We have been together for 20 years, and I am used to having him right by my side.

But we have come to terms that we have to do

without sometimes.”

Lisa Sodders initially suggested Skype to Lima school officials as an option for graduation. The Sodders family includes a 14-year-old son who’s heading into ninth grade and an older son who’s in the Air Force, so they make frequent use of Skype for face-to-face online conversations.

Officials ultimately decided live streaming would be the best option.

They did a test run a few weeks ago to assure the technology would work and it worked as planned.

Doug’s mother said she “will be thinking my baby is leaving” on Sunday. Doug’s dad, across the miles, said he knows the separation has been stressful and he would be thinking, “I am proud of him making it through and graduating.”

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Monday, June 3, the 154th day of 2013.

There are 211 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 3, 1963, Pope John XXIII died at age 81, ending a relatively brief but highly influential 4-year papacy; he was succeeded by Pope Paul VI. On this date: • In 1621, the Dutch West India Co. received its charter for a trade monopoly in parts of the Americas and Africa.

• In 1808, Confederate President Jefferson Davis was born in Christian County, Ky. • In 1888, the poem “Casey at the Bat,” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, was first published in the San Francisco Daily Examiner.

• In 1937, Edward, The Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the British throne, married Wallis Warfield Simpson in a private ceremony in Monts, France.

• In 1943, Los Angeles saw the beginning of its “Zoot Suit Riots” as white servicemen clashed with young Latinos wearing distinctive-looking zoot suits; the violence finally ended when military officials declared the city off limits to enlisted personnel.

• In 1948, the 200-inch reflecting Hale Telescope at the Palomar Mountain Observatory in California was dedicated.

• In 1962, Air France Flight 007, a U.S.-bound Boeing 707, crashed while attempting to take off from Orly Airport near Paris; all but two of the 132 people aboard were killed.

• In 1963, a Northwest Orient Airlines DC-7 military charter en route from McChord Air Force Base in Washington state to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska crashed off Annette Island with the loss of all 101 people aboard.

• In 1965, astronaut Edward White became the first American to “walk” in space during the flight of Gemini 4.

• In 1972, Sally J. Priesand was ordained as America’s first female rabbi at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio.

• In 1983, Gordon Kahl, a militant tax protester wanted in the slayings of two U.S. marshals in North Dakota, was killed in a gun battle with law-enforcement officials near Smithville, Ark. • In 1989, Iran’s spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, died.

Chinese army troops began their sweep of Beijing to crush student-led pro-democracy demonstrations. SkyDome (now called Rogers Centre) opened in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Boy finds $10,000 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 10-year-old boy who found $10,000 in a drawer at a Kansas City hotel where he was staying with his dad turned the money over to police.

Tyler Schaefer found the neatly stacked bills Saturday in the room where he and his father, Cody Schaefer, were staying at a hotel near the airport, The Kansas City Star reported.

Cody Schaefer, a truck driver and mechanic from Rapid City, S.D., meets his former wife in Kansas City every year to get his three children for summer vacation.

Cody Schaefer said Tyler, a Cub Scout, is always on the lookout for clues and treasure.

“He looks for stuff at random,” Schaefer said of his son. “He’s very observant.”

Tornado kills 3 storm chasers

BY THOMAS PEIPERT The Associated Press Three veteran storm chasers died doing what they loved: roaming the Great Plains in search of dangerous storms like the one in Oklahoma that ended their final pursuit.

Tim Samaras, his son Paul and colleague Carl Young, who through the years had shared dramatic videos with television viewers and weather researchers, died Friday night when an EF3 tornado with winds up to 165 mph turned on them near El Reno, Okla. They were among 13 people who died in the storm in Oklahoma City and its suburbs.

Their deaths in pursuit of the storm are believed to be the first among scientific researchers while chasing tornadoes, the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said.

“They put themselves in harm’s way so that they can educate the public about the destructive power of these storms,” said Chris West, the undersheriff in Canadian

THIS UNDATED photo provided by The Discovery Channel shows Carl Young and Tim Samaras watching the sky. Jim Samaras said Sunday that his brother storm chaser Tim Samaras was killed along with Tim’s son, Paul Samaras, and another chaser, Carl Young, on Friday in Oklahoma City.

County, where the men died.

Tim Samaras, 54, and Paul Samaras, 24, both of Bennett, Colo., were trapped in their car along with Young, 45, of South Lake Tahoe, which straddles the California and Nevada border.

Many times before, Tim Samaras had told anyone who would listen that tornadoes were unpredictable.

“I don’t know if I would say I worried about it because one of the biggest things he stressed was safety,” said

Tim’s brother, Jim Samaras, who confirmed the deaths to The Associated Press. “He knew what to look for. He knew where not to be and in this case, the tornado took a clear turn toward them.”

Tim Samaras and his Twistex tornado chase team had been featured on the Discovery Channel and given grants by the National Geographic Society. They also were regular presenters at conferences dedicated to advances in meteorology.

The Oklahoma storm that killed the three chasers developed before their eyes Friday.

Tim Samaras tweeted a photo of clouds rising through a volatile atmosphere and noted: “Storms now initiating south of Watonga along triple point. Dangerous day ahead for OK — stay weather savvy!”

It was his final tweet.

“He looked at tornadoes not for the spotlight of TV but for the scientific aspect,” Jim Samaras said. “At the end of the day, he wanted to save lives and he gave the ultimate sacrifice for that.”

CAST MEMBERS of “All in the Family,” from left, Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton and Sally Struthers pose with their Emmys backstage at the 24th annual Emmy Awards in Hollywood, Ca., Sunday night, May 14, 1972. O’Connor and Stapleton won outstanding continued performance by an actor and actress in a leading role in a comedy series. Struthers tied in the category of outstanding performance by an actress in a supporting role in a comedy. Stapleton has died at the age of 90. John Putch said Saturday that his mother died Friday of natural causes at her New York City home surrounded by friends and family.

Jean Stapleton, TV’s Edith Bunker, dies

BY LYNN ELBER The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jean Stapleton’s Edith Bunker was such a dithery charmer that we had to love her. And because she loved her bombastic husband Archie, we made room for him and TV’s daring “All in the Family.”

It took an actress as smart and deft as Stapleton to create the character that Archie called “dingbat,” giving a tender core to a sitcom that tested viewers with its bigoted American family man and blunt take on social issues.

Stapleton, 90, who died Friday of natural causes at her New York City home, was the sweet, trusting counterpoint to Carroll O’Connor’s irascible Archie on the 1970s groundbreaking show from producers Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin.

“No one gave more profound ‘How to be a Human Being’ lessons than Jean Stapleton,” Lear said Saturday.

While Edith faced problems, including a breast cancer scare, with strength, it was the demanding Archie who presented her greatest challenge. Stapleton made her much more than a doormat, but the actress was concerned about what the character might convey.

Edith’s flighty manner, cheerfully high-pitched voice and family loyalty enchanted viewers, while Stapleton viewed her as oppressed and, she hoped, removed from reality.

“What Edith represents is the housewife who is still in

bondage to the male figure, very submissive and restricted to the home. She is very naive, and she kind of thinks through a mist, and she lacks the education to expand her world. I would hope that most housewives are not like that,” Stapleton told the New York Times in 1972.

Her character regularly obeyed her husband’s demand to “stifle yourself.”

But Edith was honest and compassionate, and “in most situations she says the truth and pricks Archie’s inflated ego,” Stapleton added.

“She was unforgettable in that role,” Bette Midler posted on her Twitter account Saturday.

Roseanne Barr lauded Stapleton in a tweet as a “great actor whose range was unbelievable, deep and majestic.”

The stage-trained actress was little known to the public before “All In the Family,” the top-rated CBS sitcom that also starred Sally Struthers as the couple’s daughter and Rob Reiner as their liberal son-inlaw Mike, aka Meathead.

“Jean was a brilliant comedienne with exquisite timing.

Working with her was one of the greatest experiences of my life,” Reiner said in a statement.

Stapleton was surrounded by family and friends when she died.

“It is with great love and heavy hearts that we say farewell to our collective Mother, with a capital M,” said her son and daughter, John Putch and Pamela Putch, in a statement. “Her devotion to her craft and her family taught us all great life lessons.”

MUMBAI, India (AP) — A simple vinegar test slashed cervical cancer death rates by one-third in a remarkable study of 150,000 women in the slums of India, where the disease is the top cancer killer of women.

Doctors reported the results Sunday at a cancer conference in Chicago. Experts called the outcome “amazing” and said this quick, cheap test could save tens of thousands of lives each year in developing countries by spotting early signs of cancer, allowing treatment before it’s too late.

Usha Devi, one of the women in the study, says it saved her life.

“Many women refused to get screened. Some of them died of cancer later,” Devi said. “Now I feel everyone should get tested. I got my life back because of these tests.”

Pap smears and tests for HPV, a virus that causes most cervical cancers, have slashed cases and deaths in the United States. But poor countries can’t afford those screening tools.

This study tried a test that costs very little and can be done by local people with just two weeks of training and no fancy lab equipment. They swab the cervix with diluted vinegar, which can make abnormal cells briefly change color.

This low-tech visual exam cut the cervical cancer death rate by 31 percent, the study found. It could prevent 22,000 deaths in India and 72,600 worldwide each year, researchers estimate.

“That’s amazing. That’s remarkable. It’s a very exciting result,” said Dr. Ted Trimble of the National Cancer Institute in the U.S., the main sponsor of the study.

The story of research participant Usha Devi is not an unusual one. Despite having given birth to four children, she had never had a gynecological exam. She had been bleeding heavily for several years, hoping patience and prayers would fix things.

“Everyone said it would go away, and every time I thought about going to the doctor there was either no money or something else would come up,” she said, sitting in a tiny room that serves as bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room for her entire family.

One day she found a card from health workers trying to convince women to join the study. Devi is in her late 40s and like many poor Indians doesn’t know her date of birth. She learned she had advanced cervical cancer. The study paid for surgery to remove her uterus and cervix.

City still waiting for lottery winner to claim prize ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (AP) — It’s been two long weeks since the small city of Zephyrhills learned that a $590 million Powerball ticket was sold at a supermarket here.

No one expected the winner to come forward in the first days after the announcement.

After all, curious residents reasoned, the person might need a few days to absorb the shock, or to consult with financial advisers.

But then a week passed, and more, and now folks are so anxious to know the winner’s identity they could jump out of their skin.

“Being in a small town, everybody knows everybody and in some cases, everybody’s business,” said Dave Walters, a longtime reporter at the Zephyrhills News community newspaper. “It’s hard to keep a secret in this town, but this is one of the biggest mysteries we’ve had in a long, long time.”

Zephyrhills, population 13,337, is about 30 miles northeast of downtown Tampa.

Like many Florida communities, it features a small, oldtimey downtown strip where restaurants, gift shops and

clothing stores sit under a canopy of oak trees. Around the city’s perimeter, there’s the suburban sprawl of big box stores. It was in that sprawl, at a Publix supermarket, where the winning ticket was sold.

Rumors were swirling about who the winner could be: Publix deli employees, single moms working at Wal-Mart — even the cousin of a friend of a guy who lived clear in another county.

“Anybody who did not show up for work on that Monday was considered to be the lottery winner,” Walters said. “If you had the flu and didn’t show up for work, everyone thought you were the lottery winner. If you took a personal day or a sick day, they thought you had won the lottery.”

The city is known around the Tampa Bay area for a few things: as the source for bottled spring water, as an area where people like to skydive and as the home to several mobile home parks that cater to the elderly.

Joe Abed, who owns Manolo’s Italian restaurant in the historic downtown, thinks the ticket was sold to a senior citizen.

derful part of the educational program. Forcing you to quit the team is extremely painful for you, but it also punishes all of your teammates. Being grounded for a month was, in my opinion, sufficient punishment.

I admit that my response was influenced by the fact that I was a high school varsity basketball coach, and I couldn’t accept having a parent remove one of our players from the team as a form of discipline when the “infraction” had nothing to do with a problem at school.

DR. WALLACE: You constantly encourage teens to avoid alcohol and tobacco products. I agree with you 100 percent because I am a Mormon and we believe smoking and drinking are sinful. Do you have statistics on the percentage of teens who are steady users of tobacco or alcohol? I have

often wondered about this because none of my friends smoke or drink.

That’s because more than 70 percent of the people who live in our city are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons, for short). — Nameless, St. George, Utah NAMELESS: According to the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 20 percent of all high school 12th graders in the U.S. are addicted to tobacco and use it daily, while 70 percent of high school seniors have used alcohol. By age 17, 50 percent of the males and 15 percent of the females who drink could be classified as “problem drinkers.” That means they have been intoxicated six times in the past year, or because of their alcohol consumption they have had problems at school, at home or with law authorities.

Do not make decisions about these matters until Friday.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You will have to go more than halfway in dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign.

That’s just how it works. Be cooperative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Look for ways to improve your health today, because they certainly exist. You also might think about reforms and improvements where you work. (Wait till Friday to mention them.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a creative, inventive day for you because you see new ways of doing things. Trust your resourcefulness.

You might see a better approach to dealing with children today as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Discussions with a female relative will be

powerful today. (Or you might encounter someone powerful.) Just listen to what is said. Get all your information, but delay important decisions until Friday.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You will be convincing in all your conversations with others today.

This is a strong day for those of you who want to persuade or influence others to go along with your thinking.

YOU BORN TODAY You are quick-witted, energetic and feisty. At times, you are wrapped up in your own world and can appear flaky. In fact, you are frequently misunderstood. As you mature, you have a strong urge to make things right, especially with family. Good news!

Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life.

Dream big!

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCIS DRAKE What kind of day will Wednesday be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Wednesday, June 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today you might see new uses or applications for something you already own. If you discover new ways of earning money, wait until Friday to be sure they are solid.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things will tend to go your way today because the Moon is in your sign. Think about how you can transform your public image for the better — because you can.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Research will go well today, especially if you trust your hunches.

Today more easily fa-

vors intuition instead of analysis. (It happens.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A conversation with a female companion could be confidential and revealing today. Don’t let anything change your goals, however.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You will be in the limelight briefly today, perhaps because of your association with someone powerful. Refrain from making important decisions; you’re just along for the ride.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might want to modify or change travel plans today or something related to higher education and publishing. Just study the facts and delay decisions until Friday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful. Right now, you’re focused on shared property, taxes, debt and anything you own jointly with others.

The Shelby County Master Gardeners learned during its May meeting that “There Is No Mystique to Using Herbs.”

President Judy Frilling shared a recipe and samples of her homemade herbal soap.

Hosts Richard and Nadine Bryan gave a tour of their gardens, which had a variety of herbs for culinary uses in the kitchen. Nadine made a salad dressing using olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar and minced herbs from her garden: parsley, thyme, and chives. After shaking it vigorously it will be sent aside to “marry the flavors” before dressing fresh salad greens and other spring vegetables, she said.

She discussed herbal vinegars and how easy they are to create. After selecting the herbs to be used for flavoring, she said, vinegar-makers swish them in a basin of cold water, being careful not to bruise the leaves.

Any discolored or insectdamaged leaves and the stems are removed and discarded. The herbs are then gently dried to remove excess water and allowed to air dry thoroughly to avoid clouding the vinegar.

She gave the following instructions: Put into a dry, clean and sterilized quart jar, 1 cup of a single herb, such as tarragon, or several varieties together, tightly

packed. Add approximately one quart of white distilled, red wine or white wine vinegar to within 1 inch of the jar’s top. After removing any air bubbles, place a barrier, such as plastic wrap, between the vinegar and the cap, if metal, and tightly close. Store in a warm, dim place for four to six weeks, shaking the jar every few

Gary Carter introduced Angie Hoschouer, of Miami Valley Goodwill & Easter Seals, as the guest speaker at the Kiwanis Club of Sidney on May 22.

Hoschouer said the organization’s mission is to empower people with disabilities and other needs to achieve independence and enhance their lives.

Goodwill creates jobs for people with disabilities through job training and job skills, whereas the Easter Seals helps create a better quality of life, she said. The Miami Valley Goodwill & Easter Seals serves 23 counties. It has a $40 million budget and 1,027 employees, 45 percent of whom have disabilities.

They were founded locally in 1934.

The Goodwill operates 26 retail stores, including one in Sidney. In addition, it has a website for online books, which

$1,000 more in costs over the life of their loan, per subsidized Stafford loan.

Beginning on July 1, 2013, interest rates on these need-based loans will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent for borrowers, unless we do something to stop it.

Allowing Stafford Loan interest rates to increase will hinder Ohio students’ ability to afford college — and hurt America’s economic competitiveness.

That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Student Loan Affordability Act, which would keep college affordable for more middle-class and low-income students. The bill would accomplish this by maintaining the current interest rate for subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans at 3.4 percent. This legislation would help ensure that more Ohioans can achieve their dream of going to college — at no extra cost to taxpayers.

In fact, this bill would close several

wasteful loopholes.

Among other things, this fully paid for bill would close a loophole for businesses that shutters their doors in the U.S. only to open in China or India or Brazil and get a tax break for moving expenses.

And it would ensure all forms of crude oil are included in the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, eliminating a special tax loophole the saves the oil industry money but not making them pay to clean up tar sands or oil sands.

More must be done to keep down the cost of higher education — and the federal government must continue to provide students with federal student loan options with borrowerfriendly terms.

Students should not be required to mortgage their future or delay their opportunities for a better life because of student loan debt. We can solve this problem, and save money by passing the Student Loan Affordability Act.

AND ENDS

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — Two longtime friends ended up in jail in central Florida thanks to a “bucket list” that included stealing from a store.

Police say 36-year-old Andrea Mobley and 38year-old Jennifer Morrow face petty theft charges after stealing bathing suits and beef jerky during a trip to Wal-Mart on Wednesday.

A loss prevention officer told police Mobley was eating beef jerky in the store and Morrow concealed items inside her purse. They were detained after taking the items from the store without paying.

The Ocala Star-Banner reports the women told police they hadn’t seen each other in years and stealing from a retail store was on the “bucket list.”

Russia girls win regional PIQUA — The Russia girls track and field team made history Saturday at the Piqua Division III Regional track and field meet.

The Lady Raiders won the D-III regional title with 58 points to hold off Minster. which had 54, and it seemed fitting that senior Lauren Francis was standing at the top of the podium with the trophy in her grasp, surrounded by her teammates.

“We really get along well this year,” Francis said with a smile. “This is a great group of girls. I just have to thank my family and community for the way they come out and support us. This was the school’s first-ever girls regional title in any sport. It is a great way to head into the state meet.”

And Francis, who qualified on Wednesday as part of the 3,200 relay team, finished fourth in the 3,200 Saturday in 11:57.39.

“I am so excited that our relay team made it to state,” Francis said. “I had been fifth in that event the last two years, so it is great to be able to run that at state. I knew the competition was going to be tough in the 3,200. I want to place higher than I did last year, but I also want to have fun.”

Another Russia senior, Taylor Magoto, saved her best for the most critical time.

Magoto cleared 9-10 in the pole vault to tie for second and earn a state berth.

“I came in seventh, so it may have been a little unexpected,” Magoto said. “But, I have been working hard and I was coming off a broken ankle.”

Five vaulters had cleared 9-6 and Magoto got 9-10 on her first attempt to secure a state berth.

“I figured that would get me to state,” Magoto said. “Before today, 9-9 was my best. So I would like to get ten or tenthree at state.”

For freshman sensation Lauren Heaton, winning the 400 is nothing new.

But she got a shocked look on her face when she was told her time — a school record 56.75.

“I wasn’t expecting that,” Heaton said. “Not at all. I never would have expected anything like this at the beginning of the year. I knew I ran a good race, but I didn’t know it was that fast. It does give me big expectations for next week, but at the same time, I still want to have fun.”

While Katie Borchers is busy preparing for the NCAA national meet next week, running for Ohio State, she had her Russia 1,600 record broken Saturday — by her sister Emily.

The sophomore finished second in 5:12.84.

“It was my sister Katie’s,” Emily said with a big grin when asked whose record she

Considering defending state champion Meghan Vogel of West Liberty-Salem won the race, Borchers had a lot to smile about.

“I just wanted to stay as close to Meghan (Vogel) as I could,” Borchers said. “It helps a lot to have someone like that in the race. When she made her move, I made mine.”

Sophomore Leah Francis is headed to state for the Lady Raiders in the 100 hurdles, taking third in 15.53.

“I was really happy with the way I ran,” Francis said. “I was a little nervous at the start. I ran a good time and I ran a clean race. Definitely, I want to make finals and get up on the podium.”

• It was also a good day for Lehman Saturday, led by sprinters Sarah Titterington and Justin Stewart.

dashes to qualify, and Stewart won the 400, was third in the 100 and 200 dashes, and also ran on the 800 relay team, putting him in four events in Columbus.

“That’s the one I really wanted,” said Stewart of the 800 relay, in which he teamed with Mitchell Slater, Erick Jackson and Teddy Jackson.

“We have worked really hard and it is great to have that opportunity at state.”

Stewart also finished third in the 100, 11.33; won the 400, 49.08; and third in the 200, 23.02 to advance to state in all three.

Brad Montgomery also qualified in the shot put. He followed up qualifying for the discus on Wednesday, by doing the same in the shot put on Saturday, finishing second with a put of 51-2.

“I had a pretty good one early,” Montgomery said. “My first one was 49-111/2. I was in second going to the finals.”

Montgomery had a put of

51-2 in the finals to put a lock on second.

“I want to throw it one inch farther next week,” he said with a smile. “I was one inch short of the Lehman record.”

• Fairlawn’s Trey Everett, who qualified in the long jump on Wednesday, was a regional champion in the high jump after clearing 6-feet, 6inches Saturday. And Olivia Cummings added the discus to her shot put qualfying, placing third.

Second in that event was Jackson Center’s Nicole Fogt.

Meg Westerheide of Fort Loramie, who is already running in the 3200 relay at state, won the 800 in 2:14.52 Saturday.

Also claiming regional titles were the Minster boys 1600 relay team and the Versailles girls 1600 relay team.

The state meet begins Friday.

Niemeyer D-IV Player of the Year Minster ace righthander A d a m Niemeyer has been named the Ohio Division IV Player of the Year, it was announced reNiemeyer cently by the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association.

Niemeyer, a first-team pick as a pitcher, led the Wildcats to another outstanding season, and was a key to Minster winning the 2011 and 2012 Division IV state baseball championships.

The Wildcats finished the season with a 21-3 record and a No. 2-ranking in the final coaches poll.

next season, was the area’s No. 1 pitcher this season, finishing with a 0.21 earned run average and a 6-0 record. A power pitcher, he averaged two strikeouts per inning. He had 66 strikeouts and allowed just eight hits in 33 innings of work this season.

In addition, he wielded a potent bat, finishing second in the area to another AllOhioan, Dalton Bollinger of Riverside, with a .536 average, including 28 RBIs, eight doubles and 30 runs scored.

He was one of two Minster players named to the first team. Fellow senior Devon Poeppelman was named to the first team at first base.

He hit .466 for the Wildcats, with 10 doubles and 22 RBIs. He also pitched well for the Wildcats, finishing 5-1 with a 1.98 ERA during the season, giving the Wildcats a strong one-two punch on the mound.

Bollinger, meanwhile, was first-team All-Ohio behind the plate. He led the area in hitting this season with a .517 average, in doubles with 16, in home runs with seven and in RBIs with 46. He also scored 35 times.

Teammate Dustin Proffitt was named to the second team in the infield. He led the area in triples this season and also hit .469, third-best in the area.

Also named to the second team in the infield was Kyle Mescher of Marion Local. He hit .395 this spring and drove in 24 runs.

Lehman’s Greg Spearman, who led the area in stolen bases this spring and hit .409, was named to the honorable mention list.

Kuchar holds on to win Memorial DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Most of the perks from winning the Memorial were evident to Matt Kuchar soon after his 20-foot birdie putt tumbled into the final hole Sunday.

He looked just beyond the 18th green to where 3-yearold son Carson was giving a high-five to tournament host Jack Nicklaus. He had the first multiple-win season of his PGA Tour career. Kuchar went to a career-best No. 4 in the world ranking. He is all but assured of returning to Muirfield Village in October as part of the Presidents Cup team.

“To walk off the green and to greet Mr. Nicklaus and have him congratulate me, that’s something I’ll certainly never forget,” he said.

Perhaps the greatest benefit was one only Kuchar could feel — confidence.

And that’s a big deal with the U.S. Open approaching.

Kuchar missed only one fairway and held off a hardcharging Kevin Chappell over the last three holes to close with a 4-under 68 for a twoshot victory. The win came one week after he was runnerup by one shot at the Colonial.

“Great golf breeds more great golf,” Kuchar said. “Winning tournaments breeds winning more tournaments.

Anytime you can get comfortable playing in that final group, finishing off a tournament, winning a tournament is a huge amount of confidence. Heading into Merion, I’ll have a lot of confidence.

“I’m looking forward to my chances there at Merion.”

He sure played the kind of golf that goes a long way at the U.S. Open, which starts June 13 at Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia.

Muirfield Village was such a demanding test that Tiger Woods had two triple bogeys in the same tournament for the first time since 1997 and wound up with the secondhighest tournament score in his career at 8-over 296.

“It happens. It happens to us all,” Woods said. “Go home next week and practice.”

Not having Woods around didn’t make the task any easier for Kuchar.

Right when he thought the tournament was in hand, Chappell birdied three of his last four holes. Two shots behind going to the 18th, Chappell stuffed his approach to tap-in range for birdie.

Kuchar needed only two putts from 20 feet for the win, and instead he rolled the birdie putt into the hole and thrust his fist into the air as he smiled.

He’s always smiling, and he had good reason on this day.

He joined Woods has the only players to win more than once this year on tour.

Russia’s baseball season comes to an end Friday Russia High’s baseball team was hoping the long wait would be worth it, but the Raiders couldn’t pull it off, losing 4-1 in the Division IV Regional championship game Friday night.

The game, against Convoy Crestview, was

supposed to start at 5 p.m., but rain backed up the starting time until nearly 9:30. The game ended just after 11:30.

In the end, it came down to hitting, or a lack thereof, by the Raiders, who just couldn’t get the bats going in the re-

gional tournament held in Springfield.

In two regional games, Russia got just three hits total from its starters.

Nolan Francis pitched an outstanding game in the championship, allowing Crestview, a team

that beat No. 1 St. Henry and No. 2 Minster in the district, just four hits.

Russia finishes the season with a final 23-7 record.

Crestview will play Newark Catholic at 10 a.m. Friday in the state semifinals.

Pirates rally to beat Reds SCOREBOARD AUTO

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Travis Snider hit an RBI single with two outs in the 11th inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates, boosted by a stellar effort from its bullpen, beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 Sunday.

Five Pittsburgh relievers combined for 10 innings. scoreless Starter Jeanmar Gomez was removed with tightness in his right forearm after giving up four runs in the first.

Reds shortstop Zack Cozart made a throwing error on Russell Martin’s one-out grounder in the 11th. After Pedro Alvarez walked, Jordy Mercer flied out before Snider then dropped a single into right-center off Alfredo Simon (4-2).

Garrett Jones tied the game for Pittsburgh with a long two-run homer with two outs in the eighth. drive off Jones’ Broxton Jonathan cleared the right-field stands, reached the Allegheny River on the fly and was estimated at 463 feet. It was just the second homer to make it into the river without bouncing and the first by a Pirates’ hitter. Daryle Ward hit the first on July 6, 2002, while playing for Houston.

Alvarez also homered for Pittsburgh and Andrew McCutchen had two hits, including a single just before Jones’ shot.

Justin Wilson (5-0) pitched two innings for the win.

Gomez left after allowing four hits, walked one and hitting a batter.

Vin Mazzaro and Bryan Morris each worked three innings, Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli went one each and Wilson finished.

Cincinnati starter Mat Latos, who was looking to improve to 60, was the victim of a blown save for the fourth time this season. He got a no-decision after allowing two runs and three hits in six innings with seven strikeouts.

Cozart and Todd Frazier each had two hits for Cincinnati.

Cozart drove in the game’s first run with a triple after leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo was hit by a pitch. Jay Bruce and Xavier Paul then hit RBI singles and Devin Mesoraco capped the four-run first inning with a sacrifice fly.

Latos hit Neil Walker with two outs in the bottom of the first inning and both teams were issued a warning by plate umpire Bob Davidson.

Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips, who entered the day with an NL-leading 45 RBIs, was hit twice in the series and got a bruised left forearm Saturday that caused him to miss Sunday’s game.

Alvarez hit his 11th home run in the second

PITTSBURGH PIRATES’ Russell Martin, right, beats the tag by Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (19) in the 11th inning of a baseball game in Pittsburgh. Russell came around to score the game-winning run on a walk-off single by Pirates’ Travis Snider. The Pirates won in 11 innings, 5-4. inning and McCutchen singled in a run in the sixth to draw the Pirates within 4-2.

NOTES: Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said he expects Phillips to miss the three-game home series with Col-

orado that begins Monday night. RHP Bronson Arroyo (5-5, 3.75) is scheduled to pitch the series opener for the Reds against RHP Tyler Chatwood (3-0, 2.12). ...

INF Cesar Izturis started in Phillips’ place.

Stewart wins on Johnson’s mistake DOVER, Del. (AP) — With one big move, Tony Stewart put Juan Pablo Montoya and a sluggish season well behind him.

After a mundane start, Stewart is back in Victory Lane — and in the thick of Chase contention.

Stewart’s outside pass on Montoya with three laps left was enough to win Sunday at Dover International Speedway and snap a 30-race winless streak.

“Our guys at our shop have been digging,” Stewart said. “None of these guys get down. We have been down, but they haven’t gotten down.

That is what carries you to days like today at the end of the day.”

Stewart was stuck in 20th in the standings and didn’t even have a top-finish before he rallied in Dover. Stewart hadn’t won on the concrete mile track since he swept both Cup races in 2000.

The No. 14 team erupted in celebration in the pits after winning for the first time since last July in Daytona.

It was a long time coming for the two-time Cup champ.

“It’s been such a tough year,” Stewart said.

It got a little easier Sunday. Stewart stoutly defended crew chief Steve Addington’s performance this year and thanked Hendrick Mo-

torsports for supplying engines to his StewartHaas Racing team.

He also knows their work is far from finished.

“We realize this could put the 14 team in contention to make the Chase,” he said. “That’s not good enough.”

Meaning, he wants to not only make the 12driver field, but know he’s a top contender to win another championship.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, June 4, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although today is a favorable day for financial matters, you're tempted to spend too much on entertaining at home or buying something luxurious.

Be careful.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you feel social and friendly with others. Nevertheless, don't let someone rain on your parade late in the day.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You'll be pleased with research or your efforts to find answers to something today. You also might enjoy time for pleasant solitude. (Don't worry about doubts late in the day.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is an excellent day to schmooze with others. All group exchanges will be positive and helpful to you. Late in the day, romance might disappoint.

(Well, you can't win 'em all.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) People notice you today. They might learn personal information about your private life. Your relations with authority figures are favorable early in the day, but by evening, an older relative might discourage you. No worries.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Travel plans look wonderful today!

Visit beautiful places for inspiration.

Late in the day, don't let someone shake your faith. (That's your business.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Gifts, goodies and favors from others might come your way today. By evening, however, you might have to give something back! Just remember this.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Relations with others are warm and friendly today. A new romance could blossom. In fact, relations with someone of an age difference will be interesting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It's easy to get along with co-workers today; in fact, you might develop a crush on someone. Stay on the right side of authority figures late in the day. (Tiny warning.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a pleasant, fun-loving day.

Enjoy the arts, sports and playful times with children. Romance can blossom, especially with someone of an age difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Entertain at home today. You also might want to redecorate or make your home look more attractive. By evening, someone might be critical.

(Oh, dear.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a strong day for those of you who write, market, sell, teach or act, because your communication skills are excellent. By evening, you might be worried about something, but fortunately, this is brief.

YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent verbal skills, and you love to learn something new. Despite your fine mind, you also are intuitive. (Always trust your hunches.) You can master technology if you wish. You have a great sense of humor. Many of you are workaholics. Make time in the coming year to study or learn something valuable. (You'll be glad you did.)

Happy Ads / Birthday / Anniversary <DUG 6DOH PIQUA, 2020 Indian Ridge Drive (Across from Grace &KXUFK 7KXUVGD\ )ULGD\ Saturday, 9-? HUGE Multi Family! Little bit of everything!

Photo provided

MELISSA SAFREED and her daughter, Meghan, were two of the people who donated blood during the blood drive at Gover Harley Davidson in Piqua.

Meghan, 17, is a student at Lehman Catholic High School and made her fourth lifetime donation.

Melissa is the CBC blood drive coordinator at Lehman.

Bikers donate at blood drive PIQUA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It was a Saturday morning to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get your Gover runningâ&#x20AC;? and head out on the highway, motoring by any means to the Community Blood Center (CBC) blood drive at Gover Harley Davidson in Piqua. With the April 20 event, the popular motorcycle palace expanded its support of CBC by now hosting four blood drives a year.

The sun broke through the clouds, but with temperatures starting out in the 30s, it was a chilly morning to be on a bike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cold day, so not a lot of riding in today,â&#x20AC;? admitted owner and general manager Tracy Gover. Instead, loyal Gover customers and blood donors arrived by four-wheel vehicles, and Gover employees added their support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have several employees that donate every time we host a blood drive,â&#x20AC;? said Tracy.

Loyal support by customers, employees and area donors helped Gover register 33 donors for the blood drive and collect 29 units for 121 percent of the collection goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We drove over today,â&#x20AC;?

Monique admitted Guillen, of Troy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, it is a little chilly!â&#x20AC;? Monique and her husband Glen both arrived wearing their favorite Harley Davidson T-shirts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;94 Road King sitting home in the garage,â&#x20AC;? said Glen.

To stay warm, donors waited for an open donor bed inside the bus. Gover employee Sherrie Robbins was ready to make her seventh lifetime donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donate as often as I can when we have a blood drive,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really good about letting us come out and donate.â&#x20AC;?

Many area donors appreciated the convenience of a Saturday morning community drive in Piqua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a motorcycle ride,â&#x20AC;? said Martin Pollock, of Piqua, as he made his milestone 90th lifetime donation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I usually donate at the Knights of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive, but I got off schedule so this helped me catch up.â&#x20AC;?

Jill Balser, of Piqua, made her 23rd lifetime donation at the drive. She said she became a donor when her sister was pregnant and began asking family members about their blood type. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for pregnant women to know their blood type. If the mother is Rh negative and the father is Rh positive, there is the potential for their baby to have a health problem. Rh disease is rare today thanks to use of the drug Rhogam). â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just wanted to be on the safe side,â&#x20AC;? said Jill.

Meghan Safreed, a 17-

year-old junior at Lehman High School, came to the blood drive with her mom, Melissa, to make her fourth lifetime donation. Melissa is the CBC blood drive coordinator at Lehman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to make five blood donations before I graduate,â&#x20AC;? said Meghan.

As the spring and summer warm up, so will Goverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to CBC blood drives and to motorcycle events in the area. Gover helped kickoff â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bike Nightâ&#x20AC;? in Troy May 23 with a tent and product display. Bike Night is held every Thursday night through mid-September. Gover will host its next CBC blood drive July 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Goverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Poker Run will be in August and Gover will host again host a CBC blood drive as part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hero Dayâ&#x20AC;? on Sept.

What Is A Limerick?

Limericks are one of the most fun and well-known poetic forms. No one knows for sure where the name “limerick” comes from, but most people assume it is related to the county of Limerick in Ireland.

The reason limericks are so much fun is because they are short, rhyming, funny and have a bouncy rhythm that makes them easy to memorize. In this lesson, you’ll how you can write your own limericks in just a few easy steps.

NIE Coordinator: Dana Wolfe / Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

Emily Dickinson (Poet)

Born on Dec. 10, 1830, in Amherst, Mass., Emily Dickinson was educated at Amherst Academy from 1840–1847 and Mount Holyoke Female Seminary from 1847–1848. She met the Rev. Charles Wadsworth in Philadelphia in 1854, and he may have been the inspiration for some of her love poems.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a former minister and author, seems to have been her literary mentor, as indicated in an extended correspondence beginning in 1862.

Not much is known about Emily Dickinson's personal life, which has led to much speculation by scholars and readers alike. It is noted that she lived in Amherst all of her life and became a recluse around 1862. Dickinson died a few years later on May 15, 1886. Only two of her poems were published in her lifetime.

Her sister, Lavinia Dickinson, discovered hundreds of her poems after her death and they were published in selections from 1890 onwards. These early selections sold well. The first authoritative edition, “The Poems of Emily Dickinson” (3 vols), edited by Thomas H. Johnson, did not appear until 1955.

She is known for her poignant, compressed and deeply charged poems, which have profoundly influenced the direction of 20th-century poetry, and gained her an almost cult following among some.

How To Write A Limerick

The Rules of Limericks Limericks, like all poetic forms, have a set of rules that you need to follow. The rules for a limerick are fairly simple: They are five lines long.

Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme with one another.

Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other.

They have a distinctive rhythm (which will be explained shortly) They are usually funny.

Rhyming a Limerick The rhyme scheme of a limerick is known as “AABBA.” This is because the last words in lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme. Those are the “A’s” in the rhyme scheme. The “B’s” are the last words of lines 3 and 4. Let me give you an example: There was a young fellow named Hall

Who fell in the spring in the fall.

‘Twould have been a sad thing Had he died in the spring, But he didn’t — he died in the fall.

– Anonymous Notice that the words, “Hall,” “fall,” and “fall” all rhyme. Those are the “A” words in the “AABBA” rhyme scheme. Also notice that “thing” and “spring” rhyme. Those are the “B” words in the rhyme scheme.

Limerick Rhythm Now let’s take a look at the rhythm of the limerick. It goes by the complicated name “anapaestic,” but you don’t need to worry about that. What I want you to notice when you read or recite a limerick is that the first two lines and the last line have three “beats” in them, while the third and

fourth lines have two “beats.” In other words, the rhythm of a limerick looks like this: da DUM da da DUM da da DUM da DUM da da DUM da da DUM da DUM da da DUM da DUM da da DUM da DUM da da DUM da da DUM The rhythm doesn’t have to exactly match this, but it needs to be close enough that it sounds the same when you read it. For example, using the limerick above about the fellow from Hall, if we emphasize the beats, it reads like this: there WAS a young FELLow named HALL who FELL in the SPRING in the FALL. ‘twould have BEEN a sad THING had he DIED in the SPRING, but he DIDn’t — he DIED in the FALL.

Word Search Ways To Recycle Used Books Many of us love books and find them incredibly hard to part with. But if you've made up your mind to declutter your shelves, these top tips will enable you to release your treasures to new homes without an ounce of guilt or trash!

When you consider that only 24 books are produced for every tree felled, it makes sense to spread the love by passing our books on to other people.

• Throw a book swap party. Get together your friends, family or neighbors for a book-swapping party. You can make up "rules" if you wish, or just let people dive in and help themselves.

• Donate your books to your local library. You can feel great knowing your old books will be read by hundreds more people.

• Take them to your local charity, thrift or goodwill shop.

Profits raised from your books can help other people benefit from a better life.

• Sell on the Internets. Make some money on eBay, Amazon or in a second-hand bookshop.

• Share the love. A local hospital or hospice would love to take your old books from you for patients to enjoy.

• Educate others. Take children's books to a local school and specialist textbooks to a local college or university.
