COLUMBUS (AP) — The National Weather Service says at least six tornadoes touched down in Ohio during violent midweek storms. Forecasters have confirmed three tornadoes in Henry County and one each in Delaware, Wood and Van Wert counties from the storms late Wednesday and into Thursday. Officials say the first touchdown was a tornado in Willshire in Van Wert County with maximum winds of about 80 mph and the lowest severity ranking of EF-0. A slightly more intense EF1 tornado with gusts of 95 mph was reported near Malinta in Henry County. The same storm produced an EF0 tornado in Malinta, two EF0 tornados in Wood County, in Custar and near Hamler, and an EF-0 tornado near Radnor in Delaware County in central Ohio. The Weather Service says its reports are preliminary.

Crews battle to keep Colo. wildfire in check BY DAN ELLIOTT Asociated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities lifted evacuations in a wide swath of terrain outside Colorado Springs on Friday as they said a surprise rain shower helped them expand containment of a wildfire that has destroyed 400 homes. Just one day after clearing out the Flying Horse neighborhood in northern Colorado Springs, officials allowed people back into at least 1,000 houses. They also re-opened an eastern swath of the nearby Black Forest area in El Paso County. Incident Commander Rich Harvey said the Black Forest

Fire — the most destructive in Colorado history — is now 30 percent contained. It was only 5 percent contained Thursday. The fire, in which two people died while apparently trying to escape their home, began Tuesday during recordsetting heat and tinder-dry conditions. Officials warned it still could flare up again if the weather shifts. Crews say they were better prepared to take on the flames because of lessons learned fighting last year’s Waldo Canyon Fire, a similarly devastating blaze that devoured hundreds of homes and killed two people only a few miles away. When the Black Forest, a

thickly wooded rural region north of Colorado Springs, began to burn, authorities swiftly evacuated tens of thousands of people from an area larger than the Denver metropolitan area. They immediately began hand-counting destroyed houses to get information out to nervous homeowners. And they rushed federal troops and aircraft into action, cutting the red tape that had grounded those resources a year ago as smoke clouds billowed over Colorado. Within an hour, El Paso County had its emergency operations center up and running and summoned aircraft from nearby Peterson Air See WILDFIRE/Page 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration hopes its decision to give lethal aid to Syrian rebels will prompt other nations to beef up assistance, now that the U.S. has cited evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people. But the international reaction Friday ranged from flat-out disbelief of the U.S. intelligence assessments to calls for negotiation before more weapons pour into the vicious civil war. The administration now says it has “high confidence” that President Bashar Assad’s forces have killed up to 150 people with sarin gas. Although that’s a tiny percentage of the approximately 93,000 killed in the civil war so far, the use of a chemical weapon crosses President See REBELS/Page 5

NEWTON FALLS — Dolores H. Stoner passed to eternal life on Saturday, June 8, 2013, and Kenneth joined Stoner her in life eternal on Sunday, June 9, 2013, from injuries sustained from an automobile accident in Jackson Township. Kenneth was born on March 19, 1926, in Zelienople, Pa., the son of Theodore and Mary Peffer Stoner. The family would later relocate to Newton Falls. It was on Aug. 3, 1929, that John and Mary Furchak Hildack welcomed the birth of their daughter, Dolores. Both Ken and “Dee” obtained their formal education in the Newton Falls school system. On May 23, 1944, Kenneth enlisted in the United States Navy. He was a veteran of World War II and received his honorable discharge on June 10, 1946. He briefly worked for Peter’s Construction during the construction of the Ohio Turnpike and then he was employed by Rockwell International. Ken retired from Republic Steel where he was employed as an inspector for 37 years. Dee had worked at the Isaly’s Dairy and also at the Ravenna Arsenal. In later years, Dolores would serve her community as the finance director for the City of Newton Falls, retiring from her duties after 24 years of service. It was their destiny to become friends. Their friendship grew and the couple were united in marriage on Sept. 2, 1950, in St. Mary Catholic Church in Warren. From this date their lives were as one. Ken and Dee would devote their lives to

their family. As parents, they provided a loving and nurturing environment for their three sons, Kenneth, Ronald and Neal. They were supportive of all of their children’s and grandchildren’s endeavors. Ken and Dee enjoyed a variety of hobbies. Dee liked needlepoint and cross stitch, crafts and working puzzles, while Ken enjoyed wood carving, leatherwork and woodworking. Dee had made scrapbooks for each of the grandchildren and Ken would delight the grandchildren with the ability to feed bluebirds out of the palm of his hand. Together they enjoyed the game of golf. For the past 20 years, Ken and Dee would spend winters at their Vero Beach home in Florida. The couple expressed their faith by attending services at St. John of the Cross Catholic Church in Vero Beach and were longtime faithful parishioners of St. Mary and St. Joseph Parish in Newton Falls. Treasured memories of Ken and Dee will be carried on by the family that they so loved, Kenneth D. and Paula, of Ravenna, Ronald A. and Andrea Grunder, of Newton Falls, and Neal R. and Crystal, of Minster; their adored grandchildren, Alicia, Chelsea, Clarissa Kirsten, (Christopher), Kyle, Kody and Chad; Dolores’ sisters and brothers, Betty Stempak, Frances Brackle, John Hildack, Roger Hildack and Michelle Ice; and many nieces and nephews.

Convicted football player classified as sex offender BY ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS Associated Press COLUMBUS (AP) — A high school football player convicted of raping a 16-yearold girl after an alcoholfueled party last summer was given Mays t h e state’s second-toughest sex offender classification at a Friday hearing. The decision by Judge Thomas Lipps at Jefferson County Juvenile Court in Steubenville means Trent Mays could have to report to a local sheriff every six months for 20 years. Unlike adult sex offenders, however, Mays’ name won’t be included on publicly accessible websites. And he can request to have the sex offender classification removed later based on his history of rehabilitation. Lipps also agreed Friday with a request from Mays’ attorneys that the teen be transferred from Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility near Cleveland to a southern Ohio facility that works with sex offenders. One of Mays’ attorneys said after the hearing he will ask Lipps to release Mays from state custody if he successfully completes the program at Lighthouse Youth Center-Paint Creek in Chillicothe. That would be a departure from the two-

year sentence that Lipps handed Mays in March when he convicted the teen of raping the West Virginia girl. Mays, 17, also was convicted of using his phone to take a photo of the naked underage girl. “The whole purpose of the juvenile system is rehabilitation,” Columbus defense attorney Adam Nemann said Friday. “If he’s in compliance and does everything he’s asked to do, as a juvenile he ought to be returned to his family and attempt to piece his life back together.” Mays has been a model inmate at Cuyahoga Hills, Nemann said. A lawyer for the girl and her family called the classification level “a fair resolution.” The 20-year reporting requirement sends “a pretty powerful message about how severe the crime was,” said Wheeling, W.Va., attorney Bob Fitzsimmons. He wouldn’t comment on the possibility of an early release request for Mays. Lipps had been scheduled to hold hearings for both of the two players he convicted of rape in March. He canceled the hearing for defendant Ma’Lik Richmond after the teen’s lawyer filed motions ahead of Friday’s court appearance. Richmond’s attorney, Walter Madison, declined to comment Friday on the nature of the motions, which were sealed. Richmond was sentenced to at least one year for raping the girl. The case drew international attention be-

cause of the role of texting and social media in exposing the attack and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the celebrated Steubenville High School football team. A grand jury is considering whether other people broke the law in connection with the case by not alerting authorities to initial reports of the rape. That panel was expected to meet Monday but will not convene as scheduled, Dan Tierney, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, said Friday. At the time of their conviction and sentencing in March, Lipps recommended the boys be assigned to the Paint Creek facility, which he said has a strong program for treating juvenile sex offenders. The privately-operated center is an open campus where staff members rely on their relationship with residents to prevent escapes, according to the Department of Youth Services. Staff and children live together at the facility, which has shown success in keeping teens treated there from committing new crimes. Youth Services and Paint Creek still have to agree to take Mays, DYS spokeswoman Kim Parsell said Friday. Both Paint Creek and state officials conduct face-to-face meetings with young people and review their records in state facilities whenever determining placement. ————— Andrew Welsh-Huggins can be reached on Twitter at https://twitter.com/awhcolumbus

DID YOU KNOW AREA WIRELESS SELLS

IN THIS May 28 photo, Rosie Gieseke, 5, reads a book in front of her home in Cincinnati. The family recently installed a Little Free Library in front of their home in which neighbors and friends can come by and borrow a book or perhaps leave a book.

Little Free Libraries popping up in Ohio BY JOHN FAHERTY APExchange CINCINNATI (AP) — Some changes to a community are big and dramatic; they are instantly noticeable and utterly undeniable. Some changes are subtle. They can appear on a corner or a front yard and quietly change a neighborhood. Last spring, Maggie Gieseke put a Little Free Library in front of her Cincinnati area home. She filled it with books and waited to see what would happen. A Little Free Library looks like a big birdhouse stuck on a post. Passersby are free to take a book they want to read or leave one they have finished. The motto is as basic as can be: “Take a book, return a book.” “I liked the simplicity of it and I thought we had a good corner for it,” Gieseke said. “And I like the idea of sharing books.” Gieseke, 45, and her husband, Karl, wondered if people would participate. She feared her books might become dusty and unread. Within a day she knew. “It was amazing to me, a lot of people got it right away,” Gieseke said. “There are new books in there every day.” This spring, Gieseke put in another Little Free Library specifically for kids and closer to the ground. And yes, she knows she likes her project more than most people might. But there really is something kind

of magical about it. “It … can be very private,” Gieseke said of the people who come to her library. “They look, they read a page or two. They put one back, they pick another one up. If Karl and I see somebody out there, looking through the books, we leave them be. We don’t want to scare anybody off.” But it turns out people love to talk about the books and the library and what they are reading and what they have liked and what they have not. The founder of the Little Free Library, Todd Bol, built his first library to honor his mother who had recently died. She was an English teacher and avid reader, so he thought she might love the idea. The first went up in 2009, in Hudson, Wis., on the St. Croix River. Bol thought it would be a quiet little tribute to his mother. He was wrong. People loved the idea and started asking him to build one for them. They took photos of the libraries and sent them to friends around the country, who then wanted their own Little Free Library. Little Free Library is now a nonprofit organization with a two-fold mission. First, to promote literacy, love of reading and book exchanges. It also wants to help build community. People can buy a library and register it, or they can build their own. There are now more

than 7,000 Little Free Libraries in the world. Bol is not surprised how much people love to read, but he loves to hear all the stories about how these little boxes have forged relationships on streets across the country. “I’ve had so many people tell me that they are meeting neighbors they never even knew they had,” Bol said. “One said, ‘I’ve met more people in the last five to seven days than I had in 30 years.’ “ When Gieseke first heard about the project on National Public Radio, she thought of her house filled with books and her six children who love to read. She wanted to spread that passion out to the neighborhood. At first she worried nobody would use the library. Then she worried if she would have to keep filling it. Now she knows people take and leave books in nearly equal measure. “For the most part, it’s popular books, books people are reading,” Gieseke said. “We did get our share of ‘Shades of Grey,’ ” an erotic novel. The oddest book was one from the 1970s by Donnie and Marie Osmond. Gieseke’s children love to watch people taking and leaving books. They want to see what gets snatched up right away. Daughter Lilly, 12, sometimes just sits down and reads on the front lawn. “I really like to read,” Lilly said. “And now there is a library in my front yard.”

OUT OF THE BLUE Maybe she should’ve bought a bike BOSTON (AP) — Parking is such a precious commodity in Boston that one woman was willing to pay $560,000 for two off-street spaces near her home. Lisa Blumenthal won the spots in the city’s Back Bay neighborhood during an on-site auction Thursday held in a steady rain by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS had seized the spots from a man who owed back taxes. Blumenthal, who lives in a multimillion-dollar home near the parking spaces, tells The Boston Globe she didn’t expect the bidding to go quite so high for the spots she says will come in handy for guests and workers. The record for a single spot in Boston is $300,000. The median price of a single-family home in Massachusetts is $313,000.

Explosions remind La. residents that plants not always safe BY JEFF AMY Associated Press By some measures, chemical plants like the sites of separate fatal explosions this week in Louisiana are among the safest manufacturing workplaces in America. That doesn’t stop residents and emergency responders from keeping wary eyes on the hundreds of facilities stretched along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. Because of the volatile nature of many of the products they make, explosions, chemical releases and other accidents are real threats. officials say Emergency they’re well-drilled to respond but residents do worry about what can happen next door. The threat was underscored Friday when a second fatal explosion occurred at another plant just miles away from the previous day’s blast. “For the most part, day to day, month to month, year to year, you don’t really think about it,” said Ascension Parish Councilman Travis Turner, who lives about 4 miles from the plant in Geismar where the earlier explosion occured. “Everybody knows somebody — a brother or cousin or uncle — who works at a plant. When something happened, everybody is worried about the worst case scenario, like yesterday.” State and local officials have welcomed oil refineries, chemical plants and related industries, with their heavy capital investments and good-paying

THIS PHOTO provided by Ryan Meador shows an explosion at The Williams Companies Inc. plant in the Ascension Parish town of Geismar La., Thursday. The fire broke out Thursday morning at the plant, which the company’s website says puts out about 1.3 billion pounds of ethylene and 90 million pounds of polymer grade propylene a year. jobs. Louisiana is experiencing a boom in new plants and expansions, driven by low natural gas prices, as well as the area’s strategic advantages. Louisiana Economic Development counts more than $30 billion in investments announced in Louisiana starting in 2011, and that doesn’t include a number of upgrades. Among them is a $400 million expansion at the Williams Companies Inc. plant where two workers were killed and dozens more were injured in a Thursday explosion that was

heard for miles. On Friday, a separate, smaller explosion occurred miles away in Donaldsonville, killing one person and injuring five others, the state police said. The identity of the person killed wasn’t immediately released. Donaldsonville and Geismar are both located in Ascension Parish and straddle the Mississippi River, between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The workers killed on Thursday were Scott Thrower,

REBELS Barack Obama’s “red line” for escalating U.S. involvement in the conflict and prompted the decision to send arms and ammunition, not just humanitarian aid and defensive non-lethal help like armored vests and night goggles. The administration’s plan heading into the G8 meeting of industrialized nations beginning Monday is to use the chemical weapons announcement and Obama’s decision on arms to persuade Russia to increase pressure on Assad to send a credible negotiating team to Geneva for talks with the opposition. In addition, Obama is expected to use the G8 meeting and discussions on the sidelines to further coordinate with the British, French and potentially others an increase of assistance — lethal, non-

WILDFIRE Force base. Rep. Doug Lamborn called the federal center in Idaho that coordinates western firefighting to speed up the process of clearing the planes. Gov. John Hickenlooper mobilized the Colorado National Guard, and troops began to help secure the rapidly growing evacuation zone. “We’ve done it all before and so there was no question,” said Nicola Sapp, El Paso County budget officer. “Everybody jumped right in.” The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Before the fire got out of hand, authorities evacuated people miles away, sending deputies door-to-door to ensure everyone left. They remembered the speed at which last year’s fire spread. “That’s one thing I’ll never forget — how fast that Waldo Canyon Fire moved,” said El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa, who was bowled over by how rapidly help arrived this week. The latest blaze raced through the rural reaches of the metro area, doubling in size overnight and charring at least 400 homes. The bodies of two people were found inside their garage Thursday, their car doors open as if they had been about to flee. Some Waldo Canyon evacuees endured days without knowing whether their houses survived. So Maketa

47, of St. Amant, and Zachary Green, 29, of Hammond. The U.S. Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration was investigating. A department spokesman and company officials said the cause of the blast wasn’t immediately known, but the FBI ruled out terrorism. It might be easy to conclude that working in a chemical plant is a dangerous occupation, but statistics say otherwise. There were 25 fatalities in chemical manufacturing plants nationwide in 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s a fatality rate of 1.9 per 100,000 full-time workers, barely half the rate among all workers. Nationwide, 3.8 of every 100 full-time workers was injured in 2011 according to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The injury rate was 2.4 in the overall chemical manufacturing sector, and 0.6 in the area of chemical manufacturing including the Williams plant. That’s among the very lowest injury rate of any manufacturing sector. Ron Perry, the emergency preparedness director in St. Charles Parish, says that concerns about chemical accidents rank “somewhere in the middle” of his list of worries. Hurricanes are at the top this time of year. Besides about 25 major oil and chemical facilities, there’s also a nuclear power plant. Large plants have internal firefighting forces and fire departments and plants agree to help each other.

From Page 1 lethal and humanitarian — to the rebels, the political opposition and refugees. In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said the United States has determined that sarin was used in a March 19 attack on the Aleppo suburb of Khan alAssal and in an April 13 attack on the neighborhood of Shaykh Maqsud. She said unspecified chemicals, possibly including chemical warfare agents, were used May 14 in an attack on Qasr Abu Samrah and in a May 23 attack on Adra. U.S. officials have not disclosed any details about the weapons they intend to send to Syria or when and how they will be delivered. According to officials, the U.S. is most likely to provide the

rebel fighters with small arms, ammunition, assault rifles and a variety of anti-tank weaponry such as shoulderrocket-propelled fired grenades and other missiles. As of Friday, however, no final decisions had been made on the details or when it would reach the rebels, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal administration discussions with reporters. Obama has consistently said he will not put American troops in Syria, making it less likely the U.S. will provide sophisticated arms or anti-aircraft weapons that would require large-scale training. Administration officials are also worried about high-powered weapons ending up in

the hands of terrorist groups. Hezbollah fighters are among those backing Assad’s armed forces, and al-Qaida-linked extremists back the rebellion. The lethal aid will largely be coordinated by the CIA, but that effort will also be buttressed by an increased U.S. military presence in Jordan. U.S. officials say Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is about to approve orders that would leave roughly a dozen F-16 fighter jets and a Patriot missile battery in Jordan after ongoing military exercises there end later next week. That would result in several hundred more U.S. troops staying in Jordan to support the fighters and missiles, in addition to the approximately 250 that have been there for some time.

Star regarding the difficulty putting pillowcases on pillows that are a lot thicker these days. I always turn the pillowcases inside out, put my arms inside to the far corners and then grab the pillow and pull

the case over the pillow. It is much easier that way. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Betty, via email SICK CAT Dear Heloise: A reader wrote that her cat barfs a lot. Mine did, too, usually immediately after eating, but I think I have found the solution. I spread her daily ration of food into many small servings throughout the day. After feeding her, I close her in the room for about 15 minutes (to protect my gold carpet in case she gets sick). After following this plan for about three months, I find her upchucks to be rare. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anne, via email RECYCLE Dear Heloise: I have read the column for many years!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ambitious right now. However, today your ambition might yield some surprising results. Keep your eyes open. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Surprise opportunities to travel might fall in your lap today. Similarly, unexpected chances to get training or further education might come your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Gifts, goodies and unexpected favors from others might come your way today. Keep your pockets open and hope for the best. You might have an unexpected advantage in some way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Friends and close partners are full of surprises today. Expect this, and be flexible so you can jump in either direction. Those who are stodgy today will lose or be trampled in the fray. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Big changes at work are likely today. (The introduction of new technology could be one example.) Surprise

meetings and new staff members might stimulate things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is the kind of day when love at first sight can occur. Unexpected flirtations might turn your crank. (Keep your eyes open.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Unexpected company might knock on your door because something will change your home routine. YOU BORN TODAY You are persuasive. You might appear casual; however, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious about your goals. Others feel your mental presence as well as a strong physical presence when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the room. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an excellent planner, designer and strategist. You have high ideals, which you sometimes impose on those close to you. In your year ahead, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus. Birthdate of: Thomas Haden Church, actor; Greg Kinnear, actor; M.C. Escher, artist.

QUINCY — A Quincy resident has earned her degree from Huntington University. Sonya Yoder received a Bachelor of Science in elementary education during the May commencement exercises. Huntington University is a comprehensive Christian college of the liberal arts offering graduate and undergraduate programs in more than 70 academic concentrations.

The Wilson Memorial Auxiliary Hospital hosted Kathy Lindsey, executive director of New Choices, at its general membership meeting May 28 at the Perkins Restaurant. New Choices offers support for domestic problems, Lindsey told the group. Located in the shelter are a kitchen, pantry, five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a place for children to play. New Choices is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are 16 cameras and alarms and is three blocks from the police department. They serve 78 women and children a year and counsel 250 victims. They help with rent, utilities and cable. Lindsey said it typically takes people four to six months to adjust. New Choices works with law enforcement officials, courts and schools, in particular with bullying. It provides food stamps, dial-a-ride, and part-time transportation. It also works with other county shelters, giving crisis counseling to 1,000 people a year. In other business, Helmlinger, Marlene Scholarship Committee chairwoman, talked about awarding three scholarships in a variety of medical fields. She met with all the schools in Shelby County involved with scholarships. Rose Russell, Gift Shop chairwoman, announced a gift shop summer clearance sale. It was also announced that the Appreciation Auxiliary Luncheon, sponsored by Wilson Memorial Hospital, will be Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. The next general auxiliary membership meeting is scheduled for Sept. 24 at Perkins Restaurant in Sidney at noon.

Poker run planned for pilots, motorcyclists COLUMBUS — The Scioto Valley 99s have organized a poker run June 22 for airplanes and motorcycles. The run will visit airports in Sidney, Urbana, Lebanon, London and Columbus (Bolton). Each pilot or cyclist will draw a card at each location to comprise a poker hand. The winning biker will receive a gift certificate to the Harley store. The winning pilot will receive a Sporty’s gift certificate. There will also be a raffle for prizes to include a tandem sky dive, a tandem hang glide, an

Blackburn retires as teacher, coach, bus driver BY AVERIE R. BORNHORST

(1973-74) at Pitsburg Franklin-Monroe before joining the staff at Minster, where he remained as a teacher, a coach and a bus driver from 1974 until 2013. Throughout his time at Minster, he taught students ranging from first-graders to seniors in high school, in five different buildings, and in 25 different classrooms. In recognition of his accomplishments as a teacher, Blackburn received the Franklin B. Walter Honored Educator Award. Another one of Blackburn’s achievements was starting the Minster Renaissance Program, which recognized students’ good behavior with awards, incentives and activities. He also had notable success as a coach at Minster. He coached Minster’s first football league championship in 1975 and was on the basketball coaching staff with three state final four teams. He has received the Bob Arnzen Longevity Award from the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association and the MAC

MINSTER — After 40 years in education, Steve Blackburn has retired from the Minster L o c a l S c h o o l s. Blackburn was not only a Blackburn t e a c h e r, but also a coach and bus driver. He graduated from Ansonia High School in 1969. In high school, Blackburn played football, basketball and track, earning 11 varsity letters. Then, in 1973, he graduated with a degree in health, physical education and recreation from Findlay College. There, Blackburn was a four-year letter winner and MVP in football, as well as a two-year letter winner in track. He later continued his education at Write State University, earning his master’s degree in 1981. Blackburn taught and coached for one year

Coach of the Year Award. He said one of the highlights of his career was watching and being a part of the progression of students in the classroom and in athletics. The biggest changes that Blackburn has seen over the years has been in technology, the guidelines required by state mandates, and the respect that both kids and parents have for teachers and coaches. Regarding technology, Blackburn said he remembers when “you had to sit for hours figuring grades, attendance, ‘tardies’ and rank students by GPA all by hand. Today, a click of the button and it’s finished.” He noted that “teaching with Smart Boards, computers and the information available at your fingertips just astonishes me, compared to when I first started teaching. Unbelievable!” Blackburn also noted that “on paper, things that come in from the state sound good but aren’t practical in many

the competition were Celina, Coldwater, Fort Recovery and Versailles. Each school’s team had to build the trebuchet — a device similar to a catapult — using plans provided by the Lake Campus. The students were required to design their trebuchet to meet competition rules and parameters. For the competition, launched students squash balls from their trebuchet and attempted to shoot the ball into the other teams’ targets. Each trebuchet had a target, which when hit, eliminated that trebuchet from the match. Also, each school had a team target, which when hit, eliminated all four team trebuchets from the match. The contest was double-elimination, which allowed each team to compete in at least two 20-minute matches. Teams ranged in size from six to 19 competitors. Versailles High School placed first in the competition. Schools interested in competing next year should contact Vicki Shelby at Wright State University at Victoria.Shelby@wright.edu.

that could affect area communities. The objectives that were tested in the exercise were incident assessment, hospital services and emergency medical services. Incident assessment tests responders’ ability to identify a hazardous material and assess the health and physical hazards. The objectives for emergency medical services test the procedures used to treat and transport victims involved in a hazardous material accident. Hospital services objectives test the hospital’s procedures and

equipment to receive and treat victims exposed to hazardous materials. Response personnel from several fire, police, and EMS departments participated, along with members of the HazMat team, and personnel from the hospital, health department, and American Red Cross. Topics that were discussed were the imporof early tance communication between responders and the hospital, and that life safety is the priority in any emergency response situation.

Local students CBC awards scholarship among Bluffton grads

Lehman Catholic High School graduate Michael Jacob will receive $1,000 for college tuition as a winner of the 2 0 1 3 Commun i t y Jacob B l o o d Center (CBC)/Vectren Lead the Way Creative Scholarship for High School Seniors. CBC and Vectren challenged high school seniors in CBC’s 15county region to be clever, creative and inspirational as they designed a high school blood drive marketing campaign. The program awarded five $1,000 scholarships. The other winners are Shana Meyer from Russia High School; Virginia “Abbey” Saurine and Evan McCormick, both from Carroll High School in

Dayton; and Megan Hemmelgarn from Versailles High School. Applicants were asked to create a blood drive theme and explain why it would be effective in encouraging students to donate. They were also challenged to express the theme using conventional marketing techniques or innovative, artistic expressions. Jacob created an appeal with his campaign theme, “Your Donation Gives Much More than Just Blood.” His T-shirt design features a blood drop with the words “I Gave Blood” creating the acronym “Beauty, Life, Opportunity, Optimism and Dreams.” On the back of the T-shirt is his campaign slogan “My donation was much more than blood.” “A donation of blood gives the recipient much more than just continued life,” he said. “Every donation allows someone to experience the won-

ders of life. Your donation could be the crucial step allowing a father to see their child graduate, a mother meet her grandchildren, and much more.” Jacob was student council president, and captain of the football and basketball teams at Lehman Catholic. He is the winner of the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award and the ACYC YOUth Make a Difference Award. He will enroll at Marian University in Indianapolis in the fall and plans to attend Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Cincinnati to study for the Catholic priesthood. The Lead the Way Creative Scholarship for High School Seniors is made possible by a $5,000 grant from Vectren. It is open to all graduating, collegebound seniors in CBC’s 15-county region whose high school hosts a CBC blood drive.

Bruce wins it in 10th fielder's choice in the ninth inning lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 2-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. With runners on second and third and one out, Kipnis hit a hard ground ball to the right side. First baseman Adam LaRoche made a diving backhanded stop and fired a throw to catcher Kurt Suzuki, but Drew Stubbs slid in with the winning run. Stubbs' one-out single off Fernando Abad (0-1) started the rally before the Indians executed a perfect hit-andrun play. As Stubbs broke off first, Michael Bourn punched a ground ball through the hole that opened when Steve Lombardozzi went to cover second base. Stubbs advanced to third. Joe Smith (3-0) retired the AP Photo/Al Behrman side in order in the ninth for the Indians, who have won CINCINNATI REDS' Brandon Phillips advances to third on a Indians win 2-1 CLEVELAND (AP) — three straight after losing sacrifice fly by Todd Frazier in the first inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Brewers Friday in Cincinnati. Jason Kipnis' run-scoring eight in a row. CINCINNATI (AP) — Jay Bruce homered off Burke Badenhop with one out in the 10th inning on Friday night, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in a game full of errors and wasted chances. It was Cincinnati's second straight extra-inning game. The Reds fell 6-5 in 14 innings at Wrigley Field on Thursday, leaving their bullpen depleted. Bruce connected on a 1-2 pitch from Badenhop (0-3) for his fifth game-ending homer. Alfredo Simon (5-2) retired the side in the 10th. The teams combined for five errors — including a season-high three by Cincinnati. Bronson Arroyo hit Martin Maldonado with the bases loaded to force in a run, and Maldonado homered off him to tie it in the eighth.

Mickelson, Horschel share U.S. Open lead ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — Phil Mickelson made his first birdie on his last putt. Billy Horschel never missed a green. It was all they could do to barely break par against Merion, which is turning out to be the real star of this U.S. Open. Nearly half the field did not finish the second round when it was suspended by darkness. Moments after the horn sounded to stop play, Mickelson opted to finish his round and drilled a 20-foot birdie putt for a 2-over 72. That gave him a share of the clubhouse lead with Horschel, who made it as easy as possible by hitting every green in regulation for a 67. They were at 1-under 139. Even with the round not finished, it was becoming clear that this U.S. Open might be up for grabs until the very end. Tiger Woods, who grimaced with every shot out of the rough because of AP Photo/Julio Cortez pain in his left elbow, was at BILLY HORSCHEL tees off on the eighth hole during the first 3-over 143 and still very much round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club, in the game. Friday in Ardmore, Pa. “I don’t know how anyone

is going to separate too far from the field,” Mickelson said. “There might be a hot round tomorrow, and they might get a hot round on Sunday, but unlikely to be the same player.” No one was hotter than Horschel, playing in his first U.S. Open since he was a 19year-old in college. Nothing is tougher than Merion, the little course in tony suburbs of the Philadelphia that even in rain-softened conditions is showing plenty of might. And to think there was chatter at the start of the week about the potential for the first 62 in major championship history. “Perhaps next time you guys will believe when we say it’s really not that easy that it’s really not that easy,” Geoff Ogilvy said after a 70. That put him at 4-over 144, which gave him and dozens of others a legitimate shot going into the weekend. Luke Donald (72), Justin Rose (69) and Steve Stricker (69) were at even-par 140.

Division assignments approved for 2013 high school football Sidney 4th-smallest school in D-II; Anna, Lehman, Loramie drop down The Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors approved the divisions that each football team will be in next season, and it will mark a change for most of the schools in the area. For the first time, there are seven divisions in Ohio high school football, the change coming to ease the discrepancy in Division I. The addition of another division has resulted in some changes. Anna, Lehman and Fort Loramie, along with Versailles, will all drop down one division for next season.

Division II Sidney will remain in Division II this year, but went from being a middle-sized school in the division to one of the smallest. D-II includes schools with male enrollments of 403 to 607. Sidney is just four over the cutoff at 407. Only three schools in D-II have fewer boys than Sidney. Last year, schools with as few as 327 boys were D-II. In the same division are Sidney league rivals Piqua (450 boys), Troy (541) and

Vandalia (456). Schools of note in Division II (403-to-607), with number of boys — Sidney 407, Piqua 450, Troy 541, West Carrollton 429, Stebbins 408, Lima Senior 424, Xenia 531, Fairborn 513, Tecumseh 483.

Division VII The news is not good for most of the Division VII schools in Ohio next season — Marion Local has dropped down to that division. The Flyers have won the last two Division VI state titles, and in the previous season, the state champion was Delphos St. John’s, which has also dropped down to DVII. The division includes schools with a male enrollment of 111 or less. Locally, that will include both Lehman and Fort Loramie.

CINCINNATI BENGALS quarterback Andy Dalton (14) goes over a route with a teammate during the Bengals’ mandatory mini-camp, Tuesday. tory, and finished with an 87.4 passer rating that was slightly above average in the NFL. Then came the playoff game at Houston. Dalton had a horrid time. He was 4 of 10 for 3 yards in the first half. He finished 14 of 30 for 127 yards with one interception, two sacks and a passer rating of only 44.7. With 2:57 to go, he overthrew A.J. Green, who got behind two defenders and was open in the end zone. That one overthrown pass on third-and-11 from the Houston 36yard line became the lasting memory from another disappointing ending. “A great player is going to get those things and hit some of those,” Lewis said. “That’s how you get to that status. If not, you’re never going to be looked at as that. You have to win big games — which he’s won — but you have to win playoff games and then, obviously, win a Super Bowl to be looked at as an elite quarterback in the NFL.” Last season, Lewis challenged Dalton and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga to assume more of a leadership role on the team. They responded so well that Lewis designated them team captains and put a small “C’’ on the front of their jerseys. He’s pleased with how Dalton is applying himself in the offseason. “He’s spreading his his wings, we all feel that,” Lewis said. “He’s a different guy. He’s maturing. A lot was cast on him as a young guy, which was kind of the same thing in college, and he just kept growing into it and kept getting better and better. That’s the same thing now.”

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Carl Edwards has topped qualifying for the first time this season with a lap of 202.452 mph at Michigan International Speedway on Friday. Edwards was given the pole in May at Talladega as well, but that was because qualifying was rained out and the field was set by practice speeds. He's second in the Sprint Cup standings. Kurt Busch was second in qualifying, followed by Kasey Kahne. Points leader Jimmie Johnson was 17th.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Coach Marvin Lewis saw Andy Dalton in the white cinderblock hallway as he made his way to the interview room. When they passed, he noticed that something about the quarterback has changed. A little more comfort and confidence, maybe? “He looked a little different walking by me just now in the hallway coming out of here than he used to,” Lewis said. “You know what I mean? “He used to have that deer-in-the-headlights look a little bit. I think he knows there are certain things that are asked of him. We’ve all collectively got to do better, and I think he’s excited to lead us in that direction.” How the Bengals fare this season will have a lot to do with how Dalton develops in his third season. He helped the Bengals get to the postseason as a wild card team each of his first two years but had dismal performances in two playoff losses. The second-round draft pick from Texas Christian knows it’s one of those pivotal seasons for him. Will he grow enough to be considered one of the elite NFL quarterbacks? Or will another disappointing finish leave the Bengals considering whether it’s time for a change? By the third year, usually quarterbacks are headed one way or the other. “I don’t know if there’s a number of years that you have to play to consider yourself ‘not a young quarterback’ anymore,” Dalton said. “It probably comes down to age and all that kind of stuff. But year three is big.” His first two years have surpassed expectations with a franchise that’s had very low ones for so long. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since the 1990 season, the longest current drought and the seventh-longest stretch in NFL history. They’ve reached the playoffs four times in Lewis’ 10 seasons with Cincinnati, going 0-4. It’s noteworthy that they made the playoffs in each of Dalton’s first two seasons. It’s only the second time in club history that they’ve made consecutive playoff appearances. Dalton is 1913 as a starter, the best winning percentage for any Bengals quarterback with at least 10 starts. He accounted for 31 touchdowns last season, second-most in club his-

ANSWER: Peyronie’s disease is caused by scar tissue within the penis. It affects about 5 percent of men. Symptoms include penile pain, curvature of the penis or difficulty with sexual function. This can lead to psychological problems, including depression. The scar tissue can usually be felt on exam, but it is not related to cancer or to cholesterol plaques. Medical treatments for Peyronie’s disease include vitamin E — which by itself isn’t helpful for most men, but may be helpful in combination with another medication, colchicine. Pentoxifylline, another prescription medication, has been useful for many men with Peyronie’s. However, the longer you have the condition, the less likely the medication is to work.

Honda recognizes MRO suppliers Honda plants with a range of goods and services that support the manufacturing of automobiles, as well as their engines and transmissions. They include local businesses as well as national companies, and many have grown along with the expansion of Honda manufacturing operations during the more than 30 years the company has produced cars in America. Addressing representatives from nearly 150 companies attending the event, Pam Heminger, division manager of purchasing for Honda of America Mfg. Inc., expressed appreciation for the role they have played in the growth of Honda in North America, and the important role they are continuing to play as Honda implements new production ing facilities, based on ex- cation, Morrison, Tenn.; chasing for the com- MRO suppliers provide technologies.

COLUMBUS — Honda has honored 10 suppliers that provide Maintenance, Repair and Operational (MRO) services and products to its manufacturing operations in Ohio and Indiana with its Supplier of the Year award. Honda also recognized another six suppliers with its Special Recognition Award at its annual MRO Supplier Conference. The Supplier of the Year Award goes to the top companies in various business categories that primarily support Honda automobile manufactur-

cellence in safety, quality, cost, delivery and management. The Special Recognition Award is presented to suppliers that demonstrated the ability to overcome uncontrollable circumstances, perform admirably on a major project or demonstrated exceptional effort to exceed customer expectations. MRO suppliers of the year were the following: KNB Tools of America, Plain City; Paragon Service and Supply, Stratosphere Lima; Quality, Fishers, Ind.; Morrison Tool and Fabri-

I-PAK, Pell City, Ala.; Investigation Acrux Agency, Lakeview; Adecco, Melville, N.Y.; Cisco Systems, Columbus; RPM Carbide, Arcadia; and Ohio Applied Industrial Technologies, Cleveland. Special Recognition Award winners were the following: Autoelectros, Powell; Mitsubushi Electric Co., Vernon Hills, Ill.; Creative Techniques CTI, Auburn Hills, Mich.; Panel Controls, Anna; Chemtreat Inc., Allen, Va.; and Nalco Naperville, Ill. Honda’s MRO pur-

pany’s Ohio and Indiana manufacturing operations totaled almost $950 million for the fiscal year ended March 31. This is up substantially from the $737 million in the previous fiscal year, due primarily to increasing production levels to meet customer demand for Honda and Acura automobiles. Nearly $100 million went to minority and women-owned companies in the last fiscal year, representing more than 10 percent of the total. More than 5,000

During the annual MRO Supplier Conference, leadership from Honda also provided an overview for the upcoming year, and direction on what Honda and its suppliers need to do to meet high customer expectations in a challenging business environment. “Last year, we produced the most cars and trucks in North America we have ever made in a single year,” said Jim Wehrman, senior vice president of Honda of America Mfg. with responsibility for supply chain, production engineering and environmanagement mental strategies. “After 30 years of building cars in America, we are shifting into even higher gear, as we grow our capabilities and assume a much larger global role within Honda.”

Kirk NationaLease wins service award Kirk NationaLease has been awarded the Exceptional Service award by its peers in the NationaLease System. During the week of May 14-17, Randy Johnston, director of maintenance, and John Wearly, regional manager, from Kirk NationaLease, attended the NationaLease Spring Maintenance Meeting in Chicago. At this meeting, Johnston accepted the Exceptional Service award on behalf of Kirk NationaLease at the awards dinner held May 16. The maintenance managers of the individual NationaLease affiliates vote on the awards for exceptional reciprocal service prior to this meeting. These managers are the people who use the different members for emergency repairs, and know who provides the best service. It allows the affiliates to show appreciation to the companies that consistently go above and beyond the call of duty. Kirk NationaLease was one of 15 affiliates that received an award, out of the 120 members in the NationaLease system. This achievement was made possible due to the Kirk NationaLease shop personnel providing highquality service, including exceptional efficiency in communication and responsiveness to the emergency repair needs of other affiliates. NationaLease is the

largest member-owned system of interdependent, full-service leasing companies in North America. NationaLease represents independent leasing companies (affiliates) that supply mainand tenance administrative services for over 100,000 vehicles at over 600 facilities across the United States and Canada. Kirk NationaLease leases and maintains trucks, trailers, and related equipment, as well as provides 24-hour emergency road service for breakdowns, throughout the eastern Midwest region of the United States, and operates 24 maintenance facilities in nine states; Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. A new location in Texas will be coming soon. Kirk NationaLease, with headquarters in Sidney, has been a member of NationaLease since 1975. Kirk owns more than 1,200 pieces of equipment. In addition to the owned units, the Kirk shops provide maintenance for more than 3,500 pieces of equipment that is owned and operated by other companies. Kirk NationaLease currently employs more than 200 people in its shops and at the corporate office in Sidney. For more information on the company, call (800) 860-2181 or email info@knl.cc.
