Cooking for relief Sidney native helps tornado victims

BY KATHY LEESE NORMAN, Okla. — A former Sidney resident who was seven miles from where a tornado packing winds of more than 200 mph struck near Oklahoma City last week is helping the community recover.

Jen Elsner, 38, a 1992 graduate of Anna High School and daughter of Wes Elsner and Jill (Gibson) Givens, both of Sidney, knows the reality of bad weather in a state that is

part of tornado alley. She also knows what it is like to lose nearly all of her belongings.

Elsner, who is the granddaughter of Eddie and Barbara Gibson and Margie Elsner, all of Sidney, has resided in Oklahoma for 16 years and currently lives in Norman. She has a bachelor’s degree in history, a bachelor’s degree in archaeology, and a master’s degree in professional writing. She works as an IT specialist for Oklahoma University.

Elsner quickly learned about Oklahoma’s infamous weather and how to deal with the realities of tornadoes.

“The Moore (Oklahoma) tornado on May 20 was seven miles from my house and the debris field had a span of 2.5 miles wide. That was close enough for me,” she said.

Moore is a place that is special to Elsner, since she spends a lot of time there. It is one of the reasons she wanted to help.

Students at Fairlawn Elementary will learn about farm safety Thursday.

Meghan Bennett, Cargill outreach coordinator, will teach youth ages 12-15 about various hazards in rural areas, including chemical safety at 9 a.m.

“Even if these students don’t live on a farm they probably know someone who does,” said Bennett.

“There are a wide variety of chemicals on the farm, not to mention typical household chemicals as well.”

Bennett partners with Farm Safety For Just Kids to offer safety education for youth.

Farm Safety For Just Kids was founded 25 years ago by an Iowa farm wife after the death of her son in a gravity flow grain wagon accident. The organization promotes a safe farm environment to prevent injuries and death by educating our youth.

“Cargill is proud of our 25 year relationship with Farm Safety For Just Kids“ said Fred Oelschlaeger, Farm Service Group leader with Cargill AgHorizons.

“We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with Farm Safety For Just Kids to help keep our most valuable resource — our kids — safe on the family farm.”

Patel said the new hotel will feature an indoor swimming pool, conference room and other amenities. There will not be a restaurant in the hotel, but he said there will be a complimentary breakfast for guests.

“This will be a good market for a Holiday Inn Express,” Patel said.

Patel said he was familiar with Sidney before embarking on the current project. Sunrise Hospitality operates 12 hotels in the Ohio-Indiana area. Among the properties are hotels in Celina and Greenville.

A native of India, Patel said he has 20 years experience in the hotel business.

The project received approval from Sidney City Council last month for tax abatement on the investment and an income-sharing agreement with Sidney City Schools.

The tax-share agreement compensates the school district for lost property tax revenue. Under the agreement, Sidney City Schools will receive the lesser of the property taxes foregone by the district as a result of the abatement or 75 percent of the income tax revenue received by the city on the new jobs at the hotel, according to city officials.

STATE NEWS

Sidney Daily News,Wednesday, June 5, 2013

TORNADO “I knew people who lost their homes or were affected personally by the tornado outbreak,” she said. “Moore is also like a second home … to me. It’s where my movie theater is, my eye doctor, my favorite shops and restaurants.”

Elsner has not been to the tornado-ravaged area yet.

“I haven’t actually been down there yet personally, but some friends that helped in the cleanup efforts said that it was … a mess,” she said. “The chopper pilot for local news Channel 4 said that it literally looked like a war zone and he is an actual war veteran. Seeing the before-and-after images of the schools … on TV, that really hit me more than anything emotionally.”

Elsner knows people affected by the Moore tornado.

“A woman I used to work for lost her home completely and an acquaintance had some moderate damage,” she said. “Most of the people I am close to lost power, cell service.”

“I am getting tornado fatigue as are many Oklahomans,” Elsner said, noting this year’s tornadoes are not typical, including not only the Moore tornado, but another tornado that struck near the same area on Friday. That tornado left 14 dead as of a report on Monday and was reportedly an EF3 tornado packing winds of 136-165 mph; 115 people reportedly were injured.

“Usually there is a total of about three to four weeks of severe weather to watch out for and it’s usually spread out — a day here, a couple of days there and generally runs from

March to May,” she said.

“But it has been nonstop since May 20, with only a couple of days off here and there. It is exhausting even if a town does not get hit by an actual tornado, because there are several hours of watching and preparing and waiting to see if tornadoes will form out of a severe storm and trying to figure out where, so that we can take the precautions necessary. The weather teams and storm chasers in this part of the United States are amazing.”

Three storm chasers lost their lives Friday when they were caught in a tornado’s path.

While the weather has been severe, Oklahomans are trained how to react.

“When severe weather begins to develop, people in Oklahoma don’t mess around,” Elsner stated.

“My general routine is to pull up the National Weather Service radar online and when severe storms start popping up in the Southwest, I get to the basement of one of the OU … buildings. I set up my watch station on my laptop, which includes the NWS radar, live streaming coverage from two of the local news stations … plus the U.S. National Weather Service for Norman, Okla., Facebook page.”

“All four of these media outlets give a good detailed overall picture of what is happening outside around you while you are safe in what is affectionately known as the ‘hidey hole.’ It is also a good idea to make sure that you pack a weather radio with good batteries in case the Internet goes out or you run out of power,” Elsner stated.

Elsner believes the warning time helps save lives.

“That 16 minutes of warning is generally plenty of time to get to safety, but many do not have safety to get to,” she said. “The F4 and F5 tornado classes, like what went through Moore, Okla., are not generally survivable unless you are underground or in a specially reinforced storm room.

Getting in a bathtub or the center of your house is not going to be enough to save your life. There really needs to be more storm shelters in highrisk areas, especially for public school buildings.”

Elsner decided to help those affected by the tornadoes and began by using her technology skills.

“I did a lot of information sharing and redirection through social media outlets like Facebook,” she said.

Elsner also found herself rescuing a dog lost in the storm.

“I … found a displaced dog and took it to a local tornado pet shelter where they have around-the-clock volunteers and vets (veterinarians) on site to help with the reunification process and I decided to help with fundraising in the small way that I could by offering to donate proceeds from the sales of my (recipe) book,” she said.

Elsner has a very personal reason to want to help, since her own family lost their belongings in a fire in Shelby County when she was a girl.

“I know what it is like to lose your home in the blink of an eye and others stepped up to help me and my family when our house burned down and I will always be grateful for that,” she said.

“Our entire farm house was lost to a fire when I was young. We were lucky enough to be out of town when the fire started, but when we pulled up to what was left of our home, I knew everything was about to change. We were allowed to go in to get whatever personal things we could

salvage … I will never forget seeing the rainbow colors of crayon wax streaked across my partially melted stuffed animals,” Elsner recalled.

“And I will never forget the elderly woman from the Red Cross who was there when I walked out, devastated and in shock.

She wrapped me in a warm blanket, offered soothing words and gave me a small baggie that contained a toothbrush and other bare necessities that I would need to start my life over. It may seem odd, but I can honestly say that in that moment, that baggie was the most important thing in my life and I will never forget how such a … small gesture meant the world to me.

It gave me hope and let me know that eventually everything was going to be all right. I want to support and encourage that kind of hope for others in whatever small ways I can,” Elsner stated.

Elsner said the people of Oklahoma, and particularly Moore, are no strangers to devastating tornadoes.

“The people of Oklahoma, especially Moore, have been through it before. However there is a strong movement right now circulating about mandatory storm shelters in the public schools and other places, so that is something new. People are … resilient around here and will pull together quickly in the face of tragedy,” she said.

Elsner recently had a tailgating recipe book published by Gibbs Smith Publishing. They publish university tailgating cookbooks, and after submitting ideas, she was asked to write a recipe book with a tailgating theme that tied to OU football. It includes recipes that were developed by Elsner or are family recipes. The book includes full-color professional photos of the dishes. She has also published a similar book for the Ohio State University together with her sister, Julie, due to be published in the fall.

Elsner is selling her cookbook to help those affected by the tornadoes.

“I am donating 100 percent of the profits made off of the books that I have … after I run out, the fundraising for it will end,” she said.

She said the recipe book is for sale for $15 plus shipping.

“People can only order

the book through me for the relief effort,” she said. “This fundraiser is not through my publisher or anywhere else.

“Please make it clear that no money will be sent to relief efforts if ordered anywhere else.

They can go to my Facebook page and message me and I will then tell them the address where they can mail me a check.”

Elsner said she will autograph and personalize the book if a person would like that. There is a $3 media mail shipping rate. She plans to sell the books through the end of June or until she runs out.

Elsner said that the effort to help pets and farm animals in the area has been helped by social media.

“Sometimes, media and viewers don’t think about what happens to the pets or farm animals,” she said. “This time, however, traditional as well as social media really have been doing a fantastic job at coordinating recovery and reunification efforts for displaced pets from tornadoes.

“I have witnessed a really amazing phenomenon throughout all of this. The most ordinary people can and will rise up and become heroes without thinking twice about it. The … teachers who shielded someone else’s children with their bodies, the groups of volunteers … the storm chasers, meteorologists and reporters who risk their lives to give Oklahomans those precious minutes of warning and who direct us on how to help after it happens … the loved ones and the strangers alike who come together to help … without thought of getting something in return. These are the examples of heroism … I have seen come out of the devastation and loss from these Oklahoma tornadoes.”

OSU’s Gee retires

BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS The Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University President Gordon Gee abruptly announced his retirement Tuesday after he came under fire for jokingly referring to “those damn Catholics” at Notre Dame and poking fun at the academic quality of other schools.

The remarks were first reported last week

by The Associated Press, and Ohio State at the time called them unacceptable and said it had placed Gee on a “remediation plan” to change his behavior.

Gee, 69, said in a teleconference that the furor was only part of his decision to retire, which he said he had been considering for a while. He said his age and the start of a long-term planning process at the university were also factors.

“I live in turbulent times and I’ve had a lot of headwinds, and so almost every occasion, I have just moved on,” he said.

Gee explained away the abrupt timing by saying he was “quirky as hell” and hated long transitions.

He also said he didn’t regret the way he conducted himself as a higher education leader.

“I have regrets when I have said things that I shouldn’t have said, but I have no regrets about having a sense of humor and having a thick skin and enjoying life,” Gee said.

According to a recording of a Dec. 5 meeting obtained by the AP under a public records request, Gee, a Mormon, said Notre Dame was never invited to join the Big Ten athletic conference because “you just can’t trust those damn Catholics.”

Gee also took shots at schools in the Southeastern Conference and the University of Louisville, according to the recording of the meeting of the school’s Athletic Council.

Gee apologized when the comments were disclosed, saying they were “a poor attempt at humor and entirely inappropriate.”

His decision to retire was first reported by The Columbus Dispatch.

Senate proposes changes COLUMBUS (AP) — A proposal before a Republican-controlled Ohio Senate panel would give more money to schools in the state budget and keep a provision that would effectively defund Planned Parenthood by sending it to the back of the line for public family planning money.

The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday released its latest changes to the more than $61 billion, twoyear spending plan. The panel is expected to vote on the measure Wednesday, with the full Senate voting Thursday. Senate passage would send the bill into compromise talks.

The latest package of changes would boost state spending on K-12 education by more than $717 million compared with the current budget, which ends June 30.

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Wednesday, June 5, the 156th day of 2013. There are 209 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 5, 1963, Britain’s Secretary of State for War, John Profumo, resigned after acknowledging an affair with a call girl, Christine Keeler (who was also involved with a Soviet spy), and lying to Parliament about it; while there was no finding of a security breach, the scandal helped bring down the Conservative government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

On this date: • In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality Act, which prohibited Americans from taking part in any military action against a country that was at peace with the United States.

• In 1884, Civil War hero Gen. William T. Sherman refused the Republipresidential can nomination, saying, “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected.”

• In 1916, the Arab Revolt against Turkish Ottoman rule began during World War I. • In 1933, the United States went off the gold standard.

• In 1940, during the World War II Battle of France, Germany attacked French forces along the Somme line.

• In 1947, Secretary of State George C. Marshall gave a speech at Harvard University in which he outlined an aid program for Europe that came to be known as The Marshall Plan.

• In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Henderson v. United States, struck down racially segregated railroad dining cars.

• In 1967, war erupted in the Mideast as Israel raided military aircraft parked on the ground in Egypt; Syria, Jordan and Iraq entered the conflict.

• In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel after claiming victory in California’s Democratic presidential primary. Gunman Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was immediately arrested.

• In 1976, 14 people were killed when the Teton Dam in Idaho burst.

• In 1993, country star Conway Twitty died in Springfield, Mo., at age 59.

• In 2004, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, died in Los Angeles at age 93 after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Super fridge for sale NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a fridge big enough for a family of four.

New York’s Office of General Services has turned to eBay in an attempt to sell off a huge, steel morgue refrigerator now located at a Manhattan psychiatric hospital.

Bidding on Saturday afternoon was up to $475 for the four-drawer unit, but that price doesn’t include delivery. Buyers have to be willing to remove the fridge themselves from the Manhattan Psychiatric Center.

Office of General Services spokeswoman Heather Groll tells the New York Post that the ad is no hoax.

She says the agency does get unusual surplus items to sell from time to time, including barber chairs from prisons and police cars, but she doesn’t recall a previous sale of a morgue cooler.

The auction runs through June 6.

IRS officials enjoy luxury rooms WASHINGTON (AP) — Already heavily criticized for targeting conservative groups, the Internal Revenue Service absorbed another blow Tuesday as new details emerged about senior officials enjoying luxury hotel rooms, free drinks and free food at a $4.1 million training conference. It was one of many expensive gatherings the agency held for employees over a three-year period.

One top official stayed five nights in a room that regularly goes for $3,500 a night. Another official, Faris Fink, stayed four nights in a room that regularly goes for $1,499.

Fink was later promoted to head the IRS division that staged the 2010 conference in Anaheim, Calif., a position he still holds. He also has the distinction of playing Mr. Spock in a cheesy but slickly-produced “Star Trek” video that

IRS employees filmed for the conference.

A total of 132 IRS officials received room upgrades at the conference, according to a report by J. Russell George, the Treasury Department inspector general for tax administration. The tax agency paid a flat daily fee of $135 per hotel room, the report said, but the upgrades were part of a package deal that added to the overall cost of the conference.

The report was made public on the same day leaders of six conservative groups testified at a congressional hearing, where they told lawmakers they had endured abuse from IRS agents as they spent years trying to qualify for tax-exempt status.

In often-emotional testimony, the conservatives described IRS demands for details about employees’ and

group officials’ political activities and backgrounds, for comments they’d posted on websites, for videos of meetings and information on whether speakers at such sessions voiced political views.

Some said it took three years to get their tax-exempt status; others said they were still waiting.

“I’m a born-free American woman,” Becky Gerritson, president of the Wetumpka Tea Party of Alabama, tearfully told the lawmakers. “I’m telling my government, ‘You’ve forgotten your place.’”

Federal regulations say that tax-exempt social welfare organizations can engage in some political activity but the activity cannot be their primary mission. It is up to the IRS to make that determination of their level of political activity, and some Democrats

at Tuesday’s House Ways and Means Committee hearing noted that some liberal groups also have had a hard time winning tax-exempt status from the IRS. However, revelations about IRS agents improperly targeting tea party and other groups have led to investigations by three congressional committees and the Justice Department. One top IRS official was forced to resign, another retired and a third was placed on paid administrative leave.

Tuesday’s report by the inspector general suggests the agency has struggled with management issues beyond the division that handles taxexempt applications. According to the report, expensive employee conferences were approved with few restraints or safeguards until new rules were imposed in 2011.

Officials confirm use of sarin gas

POLICE OPERATE with tear gas and water cannon against protesters during clashes for fifth day in Istanbul, late Tuesday. Turkey’s deputy prime minister offered an apology Tuesday for the government’s violent crackdown on an environmental protest, a calculated bid to ease days of anti-government rallies in the country’s major cities.

Gov’t offers apology ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s deputy prime minister offered an apology Tuesday for the government’s violent crackdown on an environmental protest, a calculated bid to ease days of anti-government rallies in the country’s major cities.

The message was a bit mixed, however, as hundreds of riot police deployed with water cannons around the prime minister’s office in Ankara, the capital.

Bulent Arinc, who is standing in for the prime minister while he is out of the country, said the crackdown was “wrong and unjust.”

“In that first (protest) action, the excessive violence exerted on people who were acting out of environmental concerns was wrong and unjust,” Arinc said. “I apologize to those citizens.”

Yet the impact of his statement was unclear. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is visiting Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, has under-

mined previous statements by his ministers and has dismissed the protesters as a fringe minority stirred up by the opposition.

Tens of thousands of mostly secular-minded Turks have joined anti-government rallies since Friday, when police launched a pre-dawn raid against a peaceful sit-in protesting plans to uproot trees in Istanbul’s main Taksim Square. Since then, the demonstrations have spiraled into Turkey’s biggest anti-government disturbances in years.

Late Tuesday night, thousands of people were demonstrating in the square. Many of the streets leading into it have been blocked by barricades that protesters have built of overturned dumpsters, metal railings and damaged vehicles to keep police away.

At one point, near the German Consulate, police fired tear gas at several hundred protesters who were throwing bricks at the officers.

A 22-year-old man died dur-

burg said the church will be collecting donations for the family at this weekend’s services.”The donations will go directly to the family,” Seger said. “We want to help the family buy food and school clothes,” he said.

There is also a Steinke family fire page on Facebook where donations may be made.

In nearby Botkins, Mayor Steve Wooddruff said proceeds from the annual Sunday morning breakfast will be given to the Steinkes. Botkins Carousel Committee member Audrey Gutman said freewill donations will be accepted at this weekend’s festival to aid the family.

The Steinke family has expressed their appreciation for the support shown by area residents.

“We want to thank everyone, family, friends, firefighters, volunteers and the good people that don’t even know us personally who have graciously helped our family at such a devastating time,” Nancy Steinke said in a Facebook posting. “We are grateful that we are all safe and together.”

Mrs. Steinke said Tuesday that a propane tank exploded during the fire, accelerating the blaze.

St. Johns Fire Chief Rodney Campbell said the damage to the home was so great that it is not possible to determine the cause of the blaze. Campbell said a final damage estimate has not been determined, but said it will be more than $200,000.

“It was a nice home,” he said.

Firefighters from Botkins, Jackson Center, Anna and Uniopolis provided mutual aid at the scene. Firefigthters were on the scene for more than five hours. No injuries were reported.

ing an anti-government protest in a city near Turkey’s border with Syria, and officials gave conflicting reports on what caused his death.

Police have been accused of using disproportionate force in trying to break up demonstrations. In a boisterous debate in Parliament, Interior Minister Muammer Guler defended police officers’ use of tear gas against demonstrators trying to reach government buildings.

COUNCIL cost of $21,600, 30 units were upgraded. Wolfe also noted that 22 sets of turnout gear, which are much lighter than old units, were purchased at a cost of $2,200 each. A new records management system was purchased for $35,000.

• New Chief Will Balling reported on the updated policies and procedures manual being implemented with the aid of Lexipol. Balling said the new system provides period updates and offers daily training bulletins. Balling said the officers study the daily bulletins, which break down individual issues, rather than trying to review the entire nearly 500 page document.

• Parks and Recreation Director Duane Gaier reported on the department’s plan to replace the large play apparatus at Brown Park this summer. The new unit will cost $28,000 and replaces old equipment at the park. He also noted that the Gateway Project to beautify the Interstate 75-Ohio 47 interchange will be completed in September.

• Engineering Manager Randy Magoto presented an update on the Wapakoneta Avenue Phase 2 project. He said the project is on schedule, with the southern part of the work now finished. He also reported on plans for safety improvements on Ohio 47 from Kuther Road to Vandemark Road, which are scheduled for 2014. The proj-

PARIS (AP) — France said Tuesday it has confirmed that the nerve gas sarin was used “multiple times and in a localized way” in Syria, including at least once by the regime. It was the most specific claim by any Western power about chemical weapons attacks in the 27month-old conflict.

Britain later said that tests it conducted on samples taken from Syria also were positive for sarin.

The back-to-back announcements left many questions unanswered, highlighting the difficulties of confirming from a distance whether combatants in Syria have crossed the “red line” set

by President Barack Obama.

The regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad has reto allow U.N. fused investigators into the country.

The French and British findings, based on samples taken from Syria, came hours after a U.N. team said it had “reasonable grounds” to suspect small-scale use of toxic chemicals in at least four attacks in March and April.

The U.N. probe was conducted from outside Syria’s borders, based on interviews with doctors and witnesses of purported attacks and a review of amateur videos from Syria.

• Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Brian Schultz outlined plans to upgrade the treatment plan to meet EPA mandates. The project is slated for completion in January 2015. He also advised council that his department is gearing up to pursue an infiltration and inflow program to reduce the inflow of storm water into the sanitary sewer system. Equipment has been purchased and personnel will be trained for the ongoing project.

• Deb Grogean, municipal airport coordinator, reported on the planned runway shift/extension project at the Sidney Airport. She said the project is expected to be substantially completed later this year. The total cost of the project will be $2,439,000. The city’s share will be $283,540, with the Federal Aviation Administration picking up $1,849,860 and the state contributing $306,000.

• Community Services Director Barbara Dulworth reported on the city’s participation in the Moving Ohio Forward program. Grant funds have been used to demolish blighted properties in the city. Additional properties are set for demolition this year.

Ellen’s mother. It’s nice that your parents like Ellen and want you both to continue the relationship, but what they think doesn’t count.

I also happen to agree with Ellen’s mother. You are too old for her, so honor her request and “hit the road.” Somewhere along your journey you will discover a young lady who will think you are her “knight in shining armor,” and she will be no younger than 17.

DR. WALLACE: I’m in the seventh grade and get excellent grades. I feel that my grades are very important because I’m going to be a veterinarian after I finish my education. In one of my classes (social studies), I’m designated as a teacher’s aide. That means at times I will do errands for the teacher and once in a while I’ll actually grade student tests that have true or false answers. I like the class and enjoy helping the teacher.

Some of the students call me names such as

“teacher’s pet” and “traitor.”

This is the only negative thing about helping this teacher.

What should I do because I don’t enjoy being called names, especially traitor? —Nameless, Santa Rosa, Calif.

NAMELESS: Those immature students who call you names are actually envious, and if asked to be the teacher’s aide, they would jump at the opportunity. Do not confront the name callers. That’s exactly the reaction they are trying to achieve; just smile and go on your merry way.

muffins are very dry, as are the ones I bake from a packaged mix. What can I do to improve their taste and texture? — D.C.F. in Pennsylvania There are a couple of things you can try when making your own from a mix. First, try substituting applesauce for the oil in the recipe at the same ratio (for example: 1 cup applesauce instead of 1 cup oil). Second, in place of liquid (milk or water), add that same amount of orange juice, apple juice or any other favorite juice. Experiment to see which tastes the best to you. — Heloise

Of course, you can Dear Heloise: I eat a bran muffin every day. buy used textbooks from The store-bought the college, university bookstore or other bookstores that carry textbooks. But did you know that you also can rent textbooks? There are websites and stores that allow you to rent books at quite a savings, rather than buying new or used books. Renting can be much cheaper than buying used books and then selling them back to the bookstore.

So, do some checking before buying books. You could save a lot of money! — Heloise

Civic band season to open “This year’s concerts will be filled with music that people of any age will enjoy. We are excited about every one of the concerts, each of which will have its own fervor, flavor, and flair! Remember, ‘Friday Nights Sounded So Never Good!’”

Again this year, six local high school musicians will perform throughout the summer with the SCB in its mentoring program. One of these students will be awarded a scholarship at the end of the summer concert series.

The band has a new logo designed by Creative Marketing Strategies. The band will be wearing shirts made by Holloway Sports Wear incorporating the logo on Flag Day, June 14, when the band will take the stage.

Several years ago, Chilcote asked for concert theme suggestions, and the theme for this concert was one of them: songs with animals in the titles.

On June 21, the band will perform at 7 p.m. following the GOBA song contest at 6 p.m.

GOBA comprises bicycle riders participating in a region-wide, multi-day ride. Poplar Street will be blocked off, and there will be many food vendors downtown that evening. Sidney residents are welcome to attend the song contest ahead of the band concert. Regular band patrons are encouraged to come early, especially for parking.

The third concert on June 28 will be “Music from Movies with Military Themes,” an encore concert from last year. A

year ago, a terrible storm came through Sidney and most residents were without power.

Though the band was able to play the concert at the First Church of God, most patrons were not able to attend.

The next morning, June 29 (weather permitting), the SCB will present a concert for children, “The Wiggles and Giggles Concert.”

The 45-minute concert will begin at 10 a.m. on the courtsquare.

July 5 will be the band’s annual patriotic concert, featuring Gregory Ashe and a presentation honoring war dead.

July 12 will feature the Swing Era Big Band.

The final concert will be July 19.

Chris Gibbs will be the narrator of the all of the concerts.

Poultry Days set for June 14-16 VERSAILLES — The 62nd annual Poultry Days Festival will be June 14-16.

This year’s theme is “Poultrystock: Three Days of Friends, Music and Chicken.” Barbecued chicken will be served all weekend.

There will be two parades, the Grand Parade at 11 a.m. June 15 and the Antique Car & Tractor Parade at 2:30 p.m. June 16. New for 2013 will be the Tour de Versailles cycling events including a 62-mile Gran Fondo, a 31-mile Half Fondo and a 10mile family fun ride June 16. The Darke County Photography Show joins the festival this year, and the 5K run/walk will take a new route as it becomes part of the Wayne Healthcare Darke County Challenge. Another new addition is the first Mister and Miss SuperFit Challenge on June 14. Also, the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) group will sponsor a robot show on June 15 at 5:30 p.m. on the north parking lot of the Board of Education building.

Back by popular demand will be the adult tricycle races and a new cornhole tournament.

Others activities include free kiddie tractor

U.W. announces women’s initiative executive director.

The Women’s Initiative will engage women as philanthropists through advocacy, mentoring, and leadership to improve the lives of children and their families.

“Our goal is simple, to bring positive change to Shelby County through hands-on volunteer opportunities, mentoring and projects geared towards children and their families. This new initiative will represent what women in Shelby County can do when they work together for positive change,” said Jana Potts, enhanced giving coordinator.

Nationally, there are approximately 150 United Way-led Women’s Initiative community

programs. Locally, a charter group of women is being organized to help establish and launch the initiative here. Once the charter group is organized, P.O.W.E.R. membership will be open to any woman who works, lives or engages in Shelby County.

The steering committee has announced the initial P.O.W.E.R. project, a Born Learning Trail. Knowing that early learning opportunities are crucial for a child’s success in school and life, the Women’s Initiative will fund and direct volunteer efforts toward the construction of the trail.

“The initial trail will be located in Tawawa Park, and we hope it will

be a valuable community resource for early childhood learning. The trail will consist of ten different stations and will promote learning in a fun and interactive way,” Potts said.

Along with Potts, the Women’s Initiative steering committee members include Kathy Amos, community representative; Dottie Baker, marketing and communications manager of Emerson Climate Technologies; Suzanne Cline, director of Shelby County Libraries, and Cindy Helman, partner and senior adviser at Money Concepts.

For additional information about the Women’s Initiative, call 492-2101.

Family’s search for answers leads to diagnosis of son’s newborn rash

BY RACHEL LLOYD rlloyd@civitasmedia.com Lindsay Cole, of Sidney, knew something was wrong with her baby boy when his “normal newborn rash” just wouldn’t go away.

“I took him everywhere for someone to give me answers,” Lindsay said. Lindsay and Dustin Cole’s son, Carsen, “was born perfect,” she said.

But it wasn’t long before she saw something was very wrong.

“He was covered with hives,” Lindsay said.

“They told me it was a milk allergy, eczema, everything. I took him to urgent care, emergency room, his pediatrician.”

But despite trying all the usual treatments for those conditions, Carsen’s condition wasn’t getting any better.

“He was born perfect,” Lindsay said. “It slowly progressed. It was a ‘normal newborn rash,’ according to doctors, for the first month and a half.”

But this was Lindsay’s third child. She wasn’t new at this motherhood thing.

“I knew it wasn’t right in my gut,” she said. “It wasn’t normal.”

She took her baby to his regular pediatrician, Dr. Karen Smith, and Smith recognized that Carsen’s condition wasn’t something ordinary.

“She saw it and she sent us to Children’s,” Lindsay said. Smith referred the Coles to pediatric dermatologist Dr. Julian Trevino at Children’s Medical Center in Dayton.

“Our first visit, he told me he was 99 percent sure of what it was,” Lindsay said. She asked the doctor if he could tell her what he thought it was,

EIGHTEEN-MONTH-OLD CARSEN Cole plays in his living room with his family (l-r) dad Dustin Cole, brother Cayden Barga, 8, mom Lindsay Cole, and sister Caylee Barga, 6. Little Carsen suffers from a rare condition called diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis, which causes his skin to be covered with a scaly, itchy rash. and he agreed — on the condition that she would not go home and start searching on the Internet about it.

“He said, ‘as long as you don’t go home and Google it,” she said.

“What you find, that’s all worst-case scenarios.”

Trevino did a skin biopsy on young Carsen, then just three months old, and sent the parents home with the name of the condition he suspected — pediatric mastocytosis. Within a couple of weeks, the parents finally had a firm diagnosis.

Trevino told the Coles that with this condition, there was a chance it could also affect Carsen’s internal organs, so they were referred to pediatric hematologist and oncolo-

gist Dr. Emmett H. Broxson, who scheduled a bone marrow biopsy.

“It came back that it was just skin,” Lindsay said, “but he will always have a chance of it going systemic (internal).”

Trevino referred the Coles to Dr. Theodosia A. Kalfa, a pediatric hematologist and oncologist at Children’s Cincinnati Hospital Medical Center.

She told the parents of a doctor in Maryland who specialized in the rare condition, Dr. Melody Carter.

Carter is a pediatrician and staff clinician in the Mast Cell Biology section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, a division of the National Institutes of Health, specializing in pediatric

mastocystosis.

“I got a phone call in July 2012, and we got an appointment set up (with Dr. Carter) for Aug. 13 at the NIH in Bethseda, Md.,” Lindsay said. “It was an all-day appointment with her and her nurse practitioner. I left that appointment with a thousand pounds lifted off my chest.”

According to the NIH, cutaneous mastocytosis is caused by an accumulation of mast cells in the skin. These cells contain the substances that regulate allergic reaction.

Carsen suffers from diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis, a rare form of the condition that presents near birth and results in skin that is thickened and easily blistered.

As a result of his con-

dition, Carsen is afflicted not only with the visible rash that covers most of his body but also constant, incessant itching.

“There is no cure,” Lindsay said. “He will always have it.”

Fortunately, about 85 percent of mastocytosis sufferers outgrow the skin condition, and usually by around puberty, it has cleared up. For many, the symptoms begin to resolve in early childhood.

The prospects look pretty good for Carsen, now 18 months old, his mother says his skin blistering has gotten better, and his most recent blood tests indicate improvement.

“I personally think it’s getting better,” Lindsay said.

Accident

In the mean time, life with Carsen takes a little more care.

“We have to watch him a lot more,” Lindsay said.

“We have to carry an epi pen. His condition makes him more sensitive to allergies, and when he has an illness, his symptoms are a lot more severe.”

The family tries to keep young Carsen’s childhood as normal as possible, but sometimes other people make that a challenge.

“We take Carsen to the park, and the stares we get from people, it’s terrible,” Lindsay said.

She said even at home, sometimes people don’t understand that the baby’s condition is not contagious will not harm them. She said her 8-year-old son, Cayden, once had a friend visit who wouldn’t come out of the room. “He said, ‘your little brother creeps me out,’ and Cayden said, ‘hey, that’s uncalled for!’”

Carsen’s 6-year-old sister, Caylee, defends her little brother as well.

“Sometimes when we’re out and somebody’s looking at him, she’ll say, ‘hey, what are you staring at?’,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay gets support from a group on Facebook where families can share their experiences and advice on living with the condition. She also is trying to increase awareness of the condition so people understand her son is not a danger to them.

For the moment, little Carsen is still blissfully immersed in the innocence of toddlerhood, living with the condition that is all he’s ever known as “normal” and enjoying the wonders of life.

“He is the happiest child,” Lindsay said.

LETTER

TO THE EDITOR

Honest opinion ignored To the editor: So much for wanting to hear my honest opinion.

This past Sunday afternoon the phone rang and the caller ID said “private caller.” It turned out to be a survey concerning the Obama health-care plan.

By the second question (it was automated) they hung up on me. Apparently they did not like my responses. So much for getting true, fair and honest sentiments of the people.

After I hung up, my wife asked if they hung up on me and I told her they did. She had that happen to her as well. Her survey was about the direction of the country. Like mine, she too was hung up on by the second question.

I thought we lived in a country where free thought and expression was valued! It is frightening that there are those who will not listen to nor accept a view that differs from theirs. We need to wake up and learn the lessons of history.

Many people are concerned about getting enough nutrients such as protein and calcium when on an all-vegan diet, but the Journal of Nutritional Medicine in 1994 explained that protein is easily obtained through dark green leafy vegetables and legumes, and calcium is easily obtained through vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and kale. Vitamin B-12 is the only nutrient that cannot be found in an all-vegan diet as the vitamin is naturally found in animal products. Because vegans cannot receive vitamin B-12 naturally, a supplement is needed in order to stay healthy.

Livestock agriculture accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than all cars, trains, ships and airplanes combined worldwide, according to the book, “The Face on Your Plate: The Truth About Food.” Livestock also contributes to global warming through the production of methane and nitrous oxide, which both are worse than greenhouse gas emissions.

TO THE EDITOR

Making public aware Tax levy meeting set To the editor: If you stand on the new bridge over Loramie Creek on Stoker Road, you will see one of the prettiest sewer lines in the country.

I wonder who had the influence to impose this much strain on our taxes? I’m sure EPA did not dictate this much!

Let’s see if we can recall the past which was used to make it appear honest or justified.

In 1964, the Lake Loramie Development Association arranged to provide for fishermen on a larger scale. By 1965, all farmland in the valley was subject to destructive flooding one, two or three times a year.

Several meetings for public input were held to find a solution for this unhealthy scene. The EPA was involved then, but I’m sure its design did not consider this extravagance.

By 1972, strange people from the Cleveland area came to our door with a little blue card and asked me to join the Buckeye Trails Association.

Next, was a man from Kentucky with the Miami River Corridor Committee.

Then I caught a man with uniform and badge on my property. He said he had authority over the canal area. I chased him back to the road.

Recently, I was asked three times to join a plan to control the valley for the purpose of hunting for pay — another form of sportsmanship, I guess.

This personal experience I need to share for public awareness.

To the editor: How fortunate we are to have the Amos Memorial Public Library in our community! We recently held a public informational meeting about the upcoming Sidney City Schools income tax levy and they very generously allowed us the opportunity to hold it in one of their meeting rooms. The library staff set up the room for us and provided the proper equipment so that the presentation could be easily viewed. We are very grateful for their assistance.

We would also like to let the community know that we will be hosting another public meeting on Thursday, June 20, at the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA at 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. The presentation lasts approximately one hour with question-andanswer opportunities.

As voting day is getting closer, we hope the voters will take advantage of this opportunity to find out more about the levy so that they’re able to make an informed decision on Aug. 6.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact any one of the levy cochairs, Renee Davis, 726-2146; David Rose, 7264659; or Bill Warner 498-0763. Or you can also visit our website at www.sidneyschoolslevy.org.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been having pain in my right thigh for more than a year. My doctor gave me pain pills (tramadol), which didn’t help, so she had me get X-rays.

I was told I need a new hip. My hip is not sore.

Should I be skeptical? — D.T. ANSWER: It’s always wise to be cautious when confronted with a recommendation for surgery, and a second opinion is worth considering, if there is time to do so. However, it is common for pain due to severe arthritis in the hip to feel as though it is coming from the thigh or

even the knee. The hip Xray should be diagnostic.

Usually, before considering surgery, people have tried several types of pain medications, been through physical therapy, yoga or other exercise programs, had a trial of injections of corticosteroids or knee lubricant like Synvisc, and possibly a complementary treatment like acupuncture. Surgery is very useful when appropriate, but you don’t want to rush into it.

Before my youngest sister leaves, she insists on taking a plate of food home for her husband who was “unable to be there.” I feel if he doesn’t want to be with our family, he shouldn’t be allowed to have takeout.

What do you think? — RESENTFUL DEAR RESENTFUL: If your brother-inlaw can’t get along with the family, he is doing everyone a favor by not attending those family dinners. Because your mother finds his absence upsetting, it is up to her to put her foot down and tell your sister she doesn’t want food taken to him. Until she does, food deliveries will continue.

PAST

100 years June 5, 1913 Word was received today from Governor James M. Cox that he would not be here to attend the alumni dinner and give the address of the evening. He advised that he very much regretted not being able to be here at that time but he had to be in Michigan. Attorney General Timothy A. Hogan will be in Sidney and make the address in place of Governor Cox. While here Mr. and Mrs. Hogan and Secretary of State and Mrs. Graves will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Marshall.

————— Mrs. H.S. Ailes and family expect to leave later this month for Washington D.C., where they will make their future home, having purchased a home with three acres of ground in one of the suburbs of the city. The home is next door to one recently purchased by her son, Eugene Ailes, who is now in business in Washington.

The four sons of Mrs. Ailes are all located in or near Washington and the change is being made to be near them.

————— The best way of explaining the ability Sidnew tennis ney’s instructor, Michele Balsom, possesses in the sport is to go back to her senior year at Centerville High School. When the Lady Elks tennis team was taking on area high schools during the season, Ms. Balsom was traveling around to tournaments. It wasn’t a snub of the team. It was just that she had to go a little farther to find competition at her level.

Thus, she didn’t play for her school. Tennis has provided the 18 year old granddaughter of local resident Norb Pointner with an opportunity to travel just about all parts of the country. She earned a full scholarship in the sport to Kansas University. As the new instructor for the City of Sidney’s Recreation Department, Ms. Balsom will be at the Sidney High tennis courts three days a week.

CLEVELAND BROWNS running back Trent Richardson works on conditioning during minicamp at the NFL football team's practice facility in Berea, Ohio Tuesday. Richardson, recovering from a calf injury, didn't practice.

Richardson held out of practice BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson will not participate in any minicamp practices this week because of a lower right leg strain.

Coach Rob Chudzinski said the second-year pro is being held out of the three-day session “strictly as a precaution,” but should be ready for the start of training camp July 26.

Richardson rushed for a team-high 950 yards and scored 12 touchdowns last season.

“We don’t want his muscle strain to get any worse, so we’re going to rest him now and give him a full summer to prepare,” Chudzinski said Tuesday following the first minicamp workout. “He could have went out, if necessary, and practiced these next few days, but we just didn’t see any sense in it.

“My expectation is he’ll be out there, ready to go, for us on the first day of training camp.”

Richardson, the third overall draft pick in 2012 out of Alabama, sat out Cleveland’s final set of organized team activities last week with the injury. At the time, he vowed, “Injury-prone is not going to be me.”

The Browns did not permit Richardson to speak with the media following practice, but said he would address the subject Wednesday.

The 5-foot-9, 230-pound back walked off the field without a limp and did not acknowledge the reporters following him.

Chudzinski, though, did his best to downplay the severity of Richardson’s injury, which occurred in early May while running at Cleveland’s team headquarters.

“I don’t know the medical (risks going forward), but he’s got a strain right now,” the first-year coach said.

“I’m not concerned about anything else at this stage. “My only concern, really, is Trent needing to stay into it mentally while he’s out.

So far, he’s done a great job taking mental reps and getting into game shape.”

While his teammates

ran position drills and 11-on-11 sets, Richardson alternated between riding the bike, lifting kettle bells and medicine balls, and working with exercise ropes.

Montario Hardesty and Chris Ogbonnaya lined up together in the backfield on Cleveland’s first-team offense, while Brandon Jackson and Dion Lewis worked with the lower units.

“This is a good opportunity for other guys to get extra reps right now,” Chudzinski said. “On April 1, I said this was a fresh start for everyone.

I’m really pleased with the effort and energy I’ve seen from all of them so far.”

The 6-foot, 225-pound Hardesty served as Richardson’s backup in 2012, rushing for a career-high 271 yards and one touchdown. His 4.2yard average per carry led the Browns, and was significantly higher than Richardson (3.6).

Hardesty was chosen

by Cleveland in the second round of the 2010 draft, but didn’t make his NFL debut until the next season after undergoing his second reconstructive knee surgery.

“Montario has done a great job in the weight room, putting muscle on,” Chudzinski said.

“He’s got natural instincts as a runner that you can’t teach. I’ve also been impressed with the way he’s caught the ball.

I don’t think he’s dropped one pass yet this offseason.”

Ogbonnaya has been the Browns’ third-down back for two seasons, catching 24 passes for 187 yards in 2012. The fifth-year pro — also listed at 6-0 and 225 — previously played with the Rams and Texans.

In a new twist at minicamp, Ogbonnaya saw some snaps at fullback and blocked for Hardesty on first and second downs.

“We’re moving Oby around a little bit because we know he’s going to do the right things,” said Chudzinski, whose offensive coordinator is longtime NFL coach Norv Turner. “He’s the kind of guy who is dependable and accountable, and a real asset to any team.”

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds scored the go-ahead run in the bottomof the seventh on a balk, but the usually reliable Sam LeCure gave up a two-run homer to Troy Tulowitzki in the top of the eighth.

The Reds were going to for their second win in a row against the Rockies, but fell behind early when Reds starter Homer Bailey was touched for three runs in the top of the third inning. The big hit was a two-run double by Herrera.

The Reds got one back in the bottom of the second when Todd Frazier doubled and scored on a ground out by Ryan Hanigan.

The Reds then tied the game up in the bottom of the fourth.

Joey Votto singled and came around to score on a double by Frazier. Hanigan then doubled Frazier home to knot the score at 3-3.

Irish signee switches to UCLA instead SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame said Tuesday it will not release a standout high school recruit from his letter of intent before he enrolls at UCLA later this month, meaning he can’t play football for the Bruins this fall and will lose a season of eligibility.

Eddie Vanderdoes will have only three years of eligibility remaining because Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly did not release the 6-3, 285-pound defensive lineman from the letter he signed earlier this year.

“We did not release him from his national letter of intent in order to protect the integrity of that very important program, but we have worked with the Vanderdoes family so that Eddie can continue his education this fall at a school closer to his home,” Kelly said in a statement.

Vanderdoes, who graduates from Placer High School in Auburn, Calif., on Saturday, said he plans to enroll at UCLA, a school the Fighting Irish are not scheduled to play the

next four seasons. He had originally verbally committed to Southern California, but reopened his search last fall and was the final player to sign with Notre Dame.

Kelly could not comment on Vanderdoes during his Feb. 6 signing day news conference because the school had not yet received his letter that afternoon.

Vanderdoes announced his decision Tuesday to attend UCLA in a statement released to The Sacramento Bee. “For very personal reasons, I feel a strong need

to remain close to home and be near those who are most important in my life,” he said. “I am honored and humbled that Note Dame thought enough of me as a person and a football player to offer me a scholarship.

They have been very gracious to recognize not only how difficult a decision this was, but also how important it was for me to be near my family. I take my commitments seriously, but as circumstances changed, the most important commitment is the one made to family.”

David “Deacon” Jones, the original sackmaster, has died.

The Hall of Fame defensive end, credited with coining the word “sack” for how he knocked down quarterbacks, was 74. The Washington Redskins said Jones died of natural causes at his home in Southern California on Monday night.

“Deacon Jones was one of the greatest players in NFL history. Off the field, he was a true giant,” said Redskins general manager Bruce Allen, whose father, George, coached Jones with the Los Angeles Rams. “His passion and spirit will continue to inspire those who knew him. He was a cherished member of the Allen family and I will always consider him my big brother.”

Because sacks didn’t become an official statistic until 1982, Jones’ total is uncertain. His impact as a premier pass rusher and team leader is not.

Jones was the leader of the Rams’ Fearsome Foursome unit from 1961-71 and then played for San Diego for two seasons before finishing his career with the Redskins in 1974. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and made the league’s 75th anniversary all-time squad.

“Deacon Jones has been the most inspirational person in my football career,” said former teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood.

Jones made the Pro Bowl every year from 1964-70 and played in eight overall. He combined with fellow Hall of Famer

THIS IS a 1966 file photo showing Los Angeles Rams’ David “Deacon” Jones. Jones, the original sackmaster, has died. The Hall of Fame defensive end credited with terming the word sack for how he knocked down quarterbacks, was 74. The Washington Redskins said that Jones died of natural causes at his home in Southern California on Monday night.

Merlin Olsen, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy on a defensive line that at times was unblockable.

Olsen died in March 2010 at age 69 and Lundy died in February 2007 at 71. Grier, who is 80, is the only surviving member of the Fearsome Foursome.

George Allen, who coached the Fearsome Foursome, called Jones the “greatest defensive end of modern football.”

The Allen family had Jones present George Allen for his Hall of Fame induction in 2002.

The Rams’ stats show Jones with 159 1/2 sacks for them and 173 1/2 for his career — all unofficial, of course. Jones also was one of the most

durable players, missing just five games in his 14 pro seasons.

A 14th-round draft pick in 1961 out of Mississippi Valley State, which later produced Jerry Rice, Jones was the first defensive lineman with 100 solo tackles, reaching that mark in 1967.

“The thing we’ve got to remember being players in this era is to really respect the game ‘back when,’ because those guys could really play,” said Chris Long of the Rams, whose father, Howie, also is in the Hall of Fame.

“Deacon Jones is a perfect example. This whole league and everybody in this game should honor the past and the players who played in that era.”

Key matchup II: Bosh vs. Duncan. Bosh will be thrilled to get away from Indiana’s rugged defenders, even if he moves right into a matchup with one of the NBA’s top all-around big men. Two strong games against the Spurs this season should give him confidence — though he had to face San Antonio’s A-team in only one of them — as should some strong moments in Game 7 against the Pacers even as he still shot the ball poorly. At 37, Duncan isn’t the focal point of the Spurs’ offense at this stage, but he provided the biggest plays when they needed them, dominating the overtime periods twice in the Western Conference finals sweep of Memphis.

X-factor: Wade. His Hall of Fame credentials should put him well beyond an “X-factor” category, but his health and recent shaky performances indicate that’s exactly what he is. He’s been battling knee pain and doesn’t appear capable of playing his best every night — his 21 points in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals were more than he totaled in the previous two games combined — and the question is whether he can put together four good performances now.

Prediction: Heat in 6 games.

IN BRIEF

Richie Phillips dead at 72 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Richie Phillips, a tough-talking Philly lawyer who became a negotiator for Major League Baseball umpires and NBA referees, has died. He was 72.

Phillips’ death was reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, which said he died Friday of cardiac arrest at his second home in Cape May, N.J. His death was confirmed by the D’Anjolell Memorial Home in Broomall, where a viewing is scheduled Thursday.

Phillips Phillips represented NBA referees in the 1970s and ‘80s and led MLB umps from 1978 until 1999, when a failed tactic of mass resignations cost 22 umpires their jobs. The setback prompted umpires to abandon Phillips’ Major League Umpires Association and form a new union, the World Umpires Association.

Tribe’s Cabrera on DL NEW YORK (AP) — The Cleveland Indians put All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of a strained right quadriceps, an injury that could sideline him for a month.

Manager Terry Francona said Cabrera could miss three to four weeks, although he said that's merely a guess.

Cabrera had to be helped off the field Monday night at Yankee Stadium after hurting himself running Cabrera out a grounder. He returned to Cleveland for an MRI. The Indians recalled infielder Juan Diaz from Triple-A Columbus. Mike Aviles started at shortstop Tuesday night against New York and will get the majority of the playing time, Francona said.

Cabrera is hitting .254 with five home runs, 25 RBIs and a team-leading 18 doubles. He also has a 32-game errorless streak despite playing the last few weeks with quad problems.

Federer loses — quickly PARIS (AP) — A point from losing the first set of his French Open quarterfinal, Roger Federer shanked a routine forehand, sending the ball 10 feet beyond the opposite baseline.

The Court Philippe Chatrier crowd roared with approval, then loudly chanted the last name of Federer’s opponent, Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

That shot was a clear indication that Federer was hardly Federesque on this day. There were plenty of others: He argued with the chair umpire about a call. He dumped overhead smashes into the net. And in a truly rare ungraceful moment, he failed to put a racket to — or get out of the way of — a backhand flip by a sliding Tsonga, instead getting hit on the back.

All in all, Federer looked lost out there Tuesday against the sixth-seeded Tsonga, who pounded his way to a 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 victory over the 17-time Grand Slam champion in a 1-hour, 51-minute mismatch remarkable for its lopsidedness and brevity.

Keselowski penalized CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR penalized Brad Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe on Tuesday for failing a post-race inspection at Dover.

Keselowski and car owner Roger Penske were each docked six points, and Wolfe was fined $25,000. He was already on probation until the end of the year because NASCAR found illegal parts on the No. 2 Ford at Texas in April.

The loss of points drops Keselowski, the defending Sprint Cup champion, from eighth to 10th in the standings.

Penske Racing said a broken part led to the front end of the care being too low in Sunday’s race.

NASCAR apparently believed the explanation based on the penalty issued.

Students take stock challenge Seger awarded DAYTON — How would you like a 14.3 percent growth in your retirement fund? Would you be willing to settle for 8.75 percent? That’s exactly what some sharp students from Raider Country accomplished in Wright State University’s Ohio Stock Market Challenge (OSMC) this spring.

Nearly 200 teams from across Ohio competed in the challenge.

Teams of two to five stuwere given dents $100,000 in imaginary dollars to invest over a 10-week period.

The team from Versailles finished first in the high school division with $114,327 in their portfolio. A team of students from Fort Loramie Elementary School grew their portfolio to $108,754 and won the middle school division.

Members of the team were Dana Rose, Adam Siegel and Austin Bollheimer. A second Fort Elementary Loramie team came in second place, growing their portfolio to $108,472.

Members of that team were Trevor Middendorf, Hannah Raterman and Danielle Eilerman. Brad Turner was the adviser for both Fort Loramie teams.

Cash prizes of $100, $75 and $50 were awarded to the top three teams in each division.

The top three high school and middle school teams from the 15county region served by the Center for Economic Education and Financial Literacy at the Raj Soin College of Business visited Wright State to learn more about the university and the stock market May 10.

Students from the top three teams in both the high school and middle school divisions visited Wright State to cap their Ohio Stock Market Challenge experience.

“It is a good way to introduce middle and high school students to the stock market and to teach them how to grow wealth,” said D.R. Fannin, director of the center. “It is also a good way to give them a taste of the college experience.”

Twenty-one students, parents and teachers took a tour of campus, met for lunch at the college and joined current Wright State finance students and faculty in the Trading Room for a question and answer session about their experiences.

Brandon Groff and Megan Hemmelgarn of Versailles High School won their division because of a pharmaceutical stock that surged in value on the last day of the competition.

“It was very interesting being exposed to the

whole financial market,” said Groff, a senior. “We learned how to research investments, make good investments and the pros and cons of the stock market—how you can lose and gain big.”

“They gained a much better understanding for what the stock market is, what it represents and how it could affect their personal finances in the future, whether it be in investing, retirement funds or college savings,” said Amy Carman, government/economics teacher at Versailles High School.

Wright State’s finance students participate in a similar exercise as the challenge each semester in the Real Money class—an undergraduate course where students invest funds from the university endowment using investing principles they’ve learned in the classroom.

“I was really impressed because they didn’t just throw a dart at the wall when they made their picks,” said Jonathon Mahilo, a recent grad who earned his degree in finance. “A lot of them stuck with the products they knew, that they were familiar with. And that’s a sound strategy. Invest in what you know.”

one of many ways the Center for Economic Education and Financial Literacy serves as a catalyst for teaching the basics of economics and finance throughout the region.

With a litany of continuing education opporfor area tunities teachers throughout the year and in-person curriculum demonstrations in schools across the greater Dayton area, the center is fulfilling its to educate mission teachers on how to teach financial literacy and economics to kids in grades PreK–12.

“We’ve been offering professional development to teachers for years,” said Fannin.

Fannin said courses have been offered online since 1997. In 2006, Ohio passed legislation emphasizing personal finance. Since then it’s also become a staple of instruction.

“We emphasize learning about credit a lot now, but more than anything we’re trying to pass along engaging ideas and resources that teachers can take back to the classroom and use today,” said Fannin.

SNUFFY SMITH

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Thursday, June 6, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you're concerned with money matters and cash flow today, this is a poor day to shop for anything other than food. Forewarned is forearmed.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a goofy, unpredictable day.

Enjoy social times with others; however, keep things light. Do not make any important decisions. Don't spend money today (except on food).

GEMINI(May 21 to June 20) Keep a low profile today, because this is not a day to do important things. In fact, quite the opposite; just deal with what is at hand. Don't make waves.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful day to schmooze with friends and enjoy the company of others. Enjoy warm conversations, but avoid important decisions. Don't accept offers.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with people in authority are significant today. Nevertheless, postpone all important decisions until tomorrow. Just chat with others and get the lay of the land.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might be kicking around some travel ideas today or ideas related to publishing, higher education, medicine and the law. It's a good time to get information, but wait until tomorrow to make your move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Postpone all important decisions about shared property, taxes, debt and jointly held possessions until tomorrow. Just coast today. Gather as much information as possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Conversations with partners and close friends will be candid today, because people are friendly, open and willing to shoot from the hip. However, don't make important decisions until Friday.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good time to putter and declutter your life. Just deal with the matters at hand and postpone important decisions until tomorrow, when everything will be all systems go.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a wonderful, creative day for you! Enjoy the arts. Enjoy socializing with others. Accept invitations to party. Sports and playful activities with children will delight you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an ideal day to cocoon at home and just putter around the house.

Don't shop for anything other than food. It's a great day for creative, social activities.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might feel unusually intuitive and psychic today. Listen to your hunches, but wait until Friday to make important decisions. Today is too looseygoosey for that.

YOU BORN TODAY You are a visionary and expressive. Because of your high goals, you go after what you want.

You want to enlighten others and the world around you. (At times, you're revolutionary.) Your belief in what is possible keeps you going. In the year ahead, something you've been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to create room for something new.

expand capacity faster and at a lower cost than other options. We are excited about the future prospects of reinvigorating the Wakarusa facilities.”

The purchased facilities comprise nearly 1 million square feet of total production space located on more than 150 acres located in Wakarusa, Ind. In addition to the production space, the complex includes more than 35 paint booths designed specifically for painting recreational vehicles.

Thor plans to use the facilities for motorized production to better enable Thor Motor Coach to meet current and expected demand, and to vertically integrate paint operations through a facility operated by Thor’s Keystone subsidiary. The facility includes space that offers the potential for additional production as well. Thor expects to finalize transition planning once the seller exits the facilities, which is expected to occur late this summer.
