City native has ‘Super’ job Francony working security detail for Super Bowl XLVI BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Piqua native Brian Francony, a police officer with the Indianapolis Police Department, has been getting an up close and personal look at the Super Bowl — and he says he is loving every minute of it.

He said loves his job, the city and everything that comes along with being a police officer. “It is the greatest job in the world,” he said. “I can’t imagine doing anything else.” When it was announced that police officers were being sought by the city to handle 10 days of Super Bowl security detail, Francony, an avid football fan who roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers, jumped at the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “I jumped on that as soon as I heard about it,” Francony said about working the Super Bowl. “It’s neat because I have already See ‘Super’/Page 2

Third-graders at Springcreek Primary build a tower using 100 index cards Friday.The goal was to make the tower 100 centimeters high and be able to support the weight of a toy dinosaur. The project was one of many as students and staff marked the 100th day of school, which was last Wednesday. Students in the photo are Austin Grisez, Izayah Joyal, Elaina Lear, Hailey Crain and Brianna Santos.
Students’ activities for 100th day of school add up to fun BY SUSAN HARTLEY Executive Editor shartley@dailycall.com PIQUA — What do 100 index cards, a parachute and Google Maps have in common? Ask any Springcreek Primary student and they’ll tell you that it all adds up to celebrating the 100th day of school. This past Wednesday, students in Piqua City Schools marked the
Z’s
100th day of the 2011-12 school year with special 100 Day activities. On Friday, Springcreek’s first-, second- and third-graders spent the morning counting, measuring and playing with the number 100. From putting together 100piece puzzles, to building towers and castles with 100 index cards, to building aluminum foil boats and then seeing if they were
strong enough to hold 100 pennies (some were), the young students put the number 100 to use during several activities planned for them by their teachers. Students were divided into groups within each grade level, which meant they got to work together with other kids in their grade who are not in their homerooms. They then rotated to all See 100th day/Page 10

WASHINGTON — In a longawaited surge of hiring, companies added 243,000 jobs in January across the economy, up and down the pay scale and far more than just about anyone expected. Unemployment fell to 8.3 percent, the lowest in three years. The job growth was the fastest since last March and April. Before that, the last month with stronger hiring, excluding months skewed by temporary census jobs, was March 2006. The unemployment rate came down by two notches from December. It has fallen five months in a row, the first time that has happened since 1994, two economic booms and two recessions ago. “The economy is growing stronger,” President Barack Obama said. “The recovery is speeding up.” Indeed, the report Friday from the Labor Department seemed to reinforce that the nation is entering a virtuous cycle, a reinforcing loop in which stronger hiring leads to more consumer spending, which leads to even more hiring and spending. On Wall Street, where investors had already driven stocks to their best start in 15 years because of optimism about the economy, the jobs report triggered a spasm of buying. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 156.82 points, its second-best showing this year, and finished the day at 12,862.23, its highest close since May 2008, four

‘Super’ Continued from page 1 seen multiple celebrities and there are just so many people. It is shocking. It has been breathtaking just being able to represent your city and to be a part of the biggest event in our city’s history. We have had nothing but great reviews from all of the out-of-town people. It’s just awesome to be a part of it.” Francony and his fellow officers have the specific detail of patrolling the Super Bowl Village, which began Jan. 27 and runs through this Sunday’s Super Bowl game. Another Piquad, Peggy Henthorn, the regional manager of the Miami Valley Centre Mall, also is working at the NFL Experience, which is being held in the village leading up to the game. Henthorn’s son graduated with Francony. The Indianapolis police officer said the crowds around the stadium are unlike anything he has ever witnessed. “It’s shoulder to shoul-
der,” Francony said. “We have already broken the record (for most people attending the NFL Experience).” While Francony takes his job seriously, he says he can’t believe he has been given this unique opportunity to be associated with the Super Bowl and has been overwhelmed with the amount of celebrities and star athletes he has seen in the days leading up to the big game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. “I just keep telling myself that this is a once-ina-lifetime thing,” he said. “How often are you going to be able to tell your grandkids that you worked at the Super Bowl?” Lucas Oil Field, where the Super Bowl is being held, stands a good chance at perhaps becoming one of the stadiums in the Super Bowl rotation, and if that’s the case, Francony said he would jump at the chance to do it again in the future.
Hiring Continued from page 1 months before the financial crisis struck. The Nasdaq composite index finished at its highest level since December 2000, during a steep decline after the dot-com stock craze. Money poured out of bonds, which are considered less risky than stocks, and bond yields rose. “Virtually every economist on the planet had expected a drop in the rate of job gains in January, which makes today’s upward surprise even more surprising,” Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at the brokerage BTIG, said in a note to clients. In December, 203,000 jobs were created. The impressive jobs report reverberated through the presidential campaign and could improve Obama’s re-election
prospects. The drop in the unemployment rate put it exactly where it was in February 2009, the month after Obama took office. In Arlington, Va., the president argued that now was no time to let a 2-percentage-point cut in the Social Security payroll tax expire, as it will if Congress doesn’t take action by the end of the month. The tax cut reaches 160 million Americans. Of the economic recovery, he said: “We’ve got to do everything in our power to keep it going. We can’t go back to the policies that led to the recession, and we can’t let Washington stand in the way of the recovery.”

People show their colors to promote cause BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff Writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA —Ladies, do not be mistaken, heart disease is not just a man’s problem. According to the American Heart Association heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, the cause of 1 in 3 deaths per year. To bring awareness to this killer, numerous businesses, hospitals and organizations across the country participated in National Wear Red Day on Friday, including the local employees of Hospice of Miami County, Staffmark in Troy and those at the CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation at Upper Valley Medical Center. For the employees at Hospice of Miami County red was worn Friday along with T-shirts celebrating their recent nomination by WorkplaceDynamics as the top regional place to work for 2012. While excited about their award, employees were somber about the devastating effects of heart disease on their patients. “Unfortunately we see the results of heart disease,” said marketing and development coordinator Susan Walker Hemm, as the non-profit organization provides end of life care, comfort and support to community members. “So we definitely believe in supporting any organization on being heart healthy, it’s very important.” During 2011, Hospice of Miami County served more than 30 patients with a primary diagnosis being linked to heart disease. “Hospice of Miami County believes that anything we can do support community education of heart disease is very important,” said Hemm as the non-profit has participated not only in National Wear Red Day but the Go Red Goes North Health and Wellness expo held at Edison Community College, too. This yearly event provides educational material on heart health awareness, health screenings, fitness/nutrition tips and a chance to speak with health care professionals. The 2011 expo welcomed keynote speaker and America’s funniest stress buster Kay Frances, according to Beth Langefels, communications director for the Dayton division of the American
Heart Association’s Go Red Women. The group held their National Wear Red kickoff Thursday evening at the Dayton Racquet Club, featuring healthy refreshments and health screenings. “We look forward to doing that again this year,” said Hemm on the September event that has migrated north from Dayton, thus the origin of its name, with a tentatively scheduled date of Sept. 8 for 2012. Hemm also noted that Hospice of Miami County is, “grateful to be a part of our community in supporting the Go Red effort.” Employees at Staffmark in Troy also took part in the effort to bring awareness to the public on heart disease by wearing red on Friday. This was the first year the commercial staffing company has participated in National Wear Red Day according to account manager Corinna Adams who says they hope to make this a yearly participation, especially after staff spoke of family members dealing with the disease. Some very close to home. “My mom and dad both have it,” said Adams on her father having congestive heart failure and her mother suffering with heart palpitations. “We’re all kind of touched with it in a different way.” Employees in the CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation at Upper Valley Medical Center have also had a first-hand experience with the ramifications of heart disease through their patients. They are active in their participation and promotion of National Red Wear Day, along with Heart Awareness Month, by wearing red, handing out fliers and red ribbons. The group is also preparing for Cardiac Rehabilitation Week Feb. 12-18 when they will bring in heart-healthy food and display promotional posters. Like Hospice of Miami County, Upper Valley Medical Center participates in the Go Red Goes North Health and Wellness expo as a presenter. “Everything we can to promote heart awareness,” said Tami Maniaci McMillan, RN and lead nurse for the CardioPul-
monary Rehabilitation along with Elaine Bohman, RN. Maniaci McMillan explained many of the signs and symptoms of heart disease such as the classic or typical symptoms being chest pain that radiates to the arm, back, neck and jaw, while atypical symptoms will be nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath and chronic fatigue. Women, Maniaci McMillan noted, do not have classic signs or symptoms. “They don’t have an elephant sitting on their chest,” said Maniaci McMillan. “They may say they don’t feel good, something is not right, that shortness of breath. Their signs are not as obvious as a man’s may be.” These atypical symptoms in women also make it difficult to pinpoint what’s wrong. “Most people aren’t going to say let’s check your heart,” continued Maniaci McMillan, explaining that when someone has symptoms they need to call 911. “Don’t have a spouse drive you, we’d rather you took the chance in calling 911 and got here. Time is muscle, the more time you wait the more damage can be done to the heart and once that damage is done it doesn’t repair itself, it doesn’t rejuvenate or grow back, it’s dead.” Maniaci McMillan says people will frequently deny the problem may be their heart, that it will go away, it’s nothing. “It’s a big thing that we hear,” Maniaci McMillan said and that an individual should not, “Ignore the signs, don’t assume it is the flu and will go away.” Heart disease striking according to age is another deadly assumption. “Our patients are getting younger and younger,” said Maniaci McMillan of patients being referred by doctors to the rehab as young as their 40s. “We are seeing a lot younger people.” The CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation sees, on average, over a hundred cardiacrelated patients a day from Miami County and surrounding areas, their issues may be from bypass surgery, a heart attack or stints. Most insurances cover the UVMC CardioPulmonary programs.
“We want to make sure everybody knows,” said Jean Heath, RN and director of the Cancer Care Center, Community Health and Wellness and the CardioPulmonary Rehab. “We’re the best kept secret. The staff here is very professional, they offer so much to the community. Just having us here offers that close to home cardiac and pulmonary care that patients need, patients do not have to travel far.” Those at the CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation also work to change the mindset of heart health through lifestyle changes that includes diet, nutrition and exercise classes, with information on heart disease itself such as why they have it, how they got it and what they can do to prevent it from coming back. “We look at all aspects of care,” explained Heath. “Physical, emotional, psychological, we’re holistic when we look at cardiac or heart health. We want to look at all those aspects, what makes you healthy.” Not only is there a physical aspect to heart disease but mental. “They are afraid, they are afraid to do anything. They are afraid to exercise on their own, do any traveling, afraid to have sex,” Maniaci McMillan said. “More than anything we increase their confidence. They can go home and feel safe to exercise, because they’ve done it here, they know that they are safe, they can go on with their life again, but a healthier life as a result of this. We’ve had patients say its like they got their second chance at life and they’re going to do it right.” “Everybody is on a different level than that, and it’s not sensitive to age,” Heath said. “Heart disease does not discriminate amongst age or gender,” continued Maniaci McMillan with the first course of action against any disease being awareness.An aspect many across the county shared on Friday by wearing red. A contribution they should be proud of. “You wear red to make women more aware of heart disease,” Maniaci McMillan said.“Listen to your body, listen to your cues, don’t dismiss it. Women are so caught up in their families and taking care of everyone else that they dismiss their own symptoms and don’t take care of themselves right away.”

Some players, parents lack sportsmanship The Usual Eccentric A
s much as I try to be an optimist about the direction our society is heading, it is difficult when I see weekly examples of the horror some of our kids are capable of causing. Just over a week ago, a high school basketball game between Fairborn and Miamisburg ended with a fight. The fight left one young Miamisburg player with serious injuries. A number of players were involved, as well as some students in attendance. The seriousness of this incident is closer to “home” than you think. Both of the teams involved in the altercation belong to the Greater Western Ohio Conference. It is not hard to see where some the anger is coming from. Students, both players and fans, are growing up as part of a generation that cares little about anything but themselves. They have no respect for their teachers, parents or authority. They believe that they are entitled to anything that they want. There is no need to work for anything. If they want something, they will just take it. Mind you, this is not a blanket description of everyone. There are still a lot of shining examples of how we want our kids to grow up, especially right here in Piqua. I still see good sportsmanship on the floor and in the stands. Unfortunately, when one of our kids runs up against one of the unscrupulous types, he or she sometimes ends up caught in the situation. Too many of these MIKE ULLERY testosterone-filled conChief Photographer flicts between athletes are spin-offs from how over-zealous parents have treated their kids since they began playing sports. Some are parents who, maybe, weren’t such hot athletes when they were growing and are reliving their dreams of athletic stardom through their kids. Others are parents who see the path to a college education for their child coming by way of the football field or basketball court. Too many kids have grown up hearing nothing but hype about how they are such superb athletes — in the minds of their parents. I have a news flash … just because one’s parents are willing to spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars to pay for their child to be on a traveling, or “select” team, does not mean that their child really is a superb athlete. There is a time for encouraging and supporting our kids as they compete. That is part of being a parent. There are other, very valuable, lessons for our kids to learn. No one deserves to win. You win by working harder, by playing better. Another lesson to be learned is that not everyone is cut out to be a star athlete. You can want to be a star as much as you like, but some people have the athletic ability, and some do not. There are a few, for whom a great deal of hard work and dedication can make up the difference, but for some, they are never going to play above the high school level. I might mention a side-effect of this parental attitude. A good number of these kids are so burned out on sports by the time they reach high school, that many want nothing to do with the sport when they can actually make their own decisions. By the time these kids get to junior high and high school, they believe the hype. Add to this, the selfish and uncaring attitude, and you have a walking stick of dynamite, just waiting for someone to light the fuse. Sportsmanship. High school athletics are supposed to be about sportsmanship. Yet, schools allow, and I believe some even encourage, “trash talking.” I have even seen parents “trash talking” opponents. Student sections at games no longer chant encouragement to their players. Chants of “airball,” and other teasing and derogatory remarks are common. Granted, these are minor things, but they lead to more serious unsportsmanlike remarks. I believe that if the Ohio High School Athletic Association, which claims to be all class and sportsmanship, really is serious about what it claims to stand for, it should take a hard line stand against derogatory remarks, by both athletes and fans, as should the GWOC and other conferences. Some, probably many, will say that such acts are done in fun and should be treated as such. There is no one who believes that the world is too thin-skinned more than I, but if the OHSAA claims to be teaching sportsmanship, our high school athletic competitions are no place to allow negative remarks or actions. The OHSAA slogan is “Respect the Game.” I think that it is time for them to draw the line, and close the door, on those who do not — respect the game.

To the Editor: (The) Grand Obstructionist Party (GOP) is running on is the privatization of Social Security and elimination of Medicaid, Medicare, as we know it. (Rep. Paul Ryan budget adopted by the GOP) In the case of Social Security, their goal is to privatize it. Social Security (was) established in 1935, to help take care of retires, elderly widowers, disability insurance benefits, with others receiving benefits as young survivors of deceased workers and also provides a foundation of income to plan for their retirement. The program (S.S.) being paid for equally by employer and employee through payroll deductions of 6 1/2 percent by each. This has been suspended during these tough times, but funds not being paid to Social Security are to be paid out of the general funds. I know of no time that a SS check has been missed but, during the debt ceiling fight it came close, thanks to the tea party and G.O.P. Social Security also lifts 13 million elderly Americans out of poverty. It does not contribute one cent to the deficit as it’s detractors claim — its also forbidden to borrow money by law — and is sound to the year 2037, with baby boomer retirements and the struggling economy as factors in it’s current short fall. Minor adjustments are needed to make the plan sound for the next 75 years and beyond but taking a hatchet to a program when a scalpel is needed is what the GOP and it’s anti-Social Security alias want. Now the 2008 stock market crash should convince everybody that Social Security Investing in stock market is not what we need. Can you imagine what Social Security trust fund would have look like if Bush’s privatization plan had succeeded? It proves what most people know or should know that the goal of the GOP is the destruction of Social Security along with most social programs and put tax cuts now and in the future on the backs of what is left of the middle class. (Rep. Paul Ryan and candidate Mitt Romney) Now to all those people (16-100) that think finding a betterproven system than Social Security, be my guest. Those of voting age, especially ones who are on Social Security, those who are close and those further down the ladder, your vote should be clear cut. —Jack Caulfield Piqua

DEAR STRESSED TEENS: There is nothing you can do about it, so accept that as long as you’re involved with Jordan, his mother is part of the package deal. In another year your boyfriend will be legally an adult and able to decide if he wants to stay at home taking care of his mother, or leave to pursue his education or go to work. From your description, the family dynamics do not appear to be healthy. But if you’re smart, you will not involve yourself in them. A girl who competes with her boyfriend’s mother rarely wins that battle, so remember that. DEAR ABBY: I’m 14 and a ballet dancer, although I just started dancing seriously at 12. I have been in some shows and my teacher has started me on pointe work. It has become my dream to dance professionally. When I confided it to my mother, she told me it would be impossible. I take two classes a week, but I will be taking more — possibly five — this year. Should I continue with my dream or pursue something else? I know it’s a tough profession to work in, but it is what I love. — DANCING FOR JOY IN SAN DIEGO
CHRIS TALBOTT AP Entertainment Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Even Grammy voters don’t know what to do with The Civil Wars. The duo has been nominated for best folk album and best country duo/group performance, two categories that bear little resemblance to each other. Fellow nominees run the spectrum from Kenny Chesney to Eddie Vedder to Gillian Welch and Fleet Foxes. And John Paul White and Joy Williams love it. “We kind of had a little bit of a grin between the two of us and our team as well about that, too,” Williams said. “I think it’s fun the fact that we can’t be pigeon-holed into one or the other. That’s just fine with us.” “We’re going for best dance recording next year. We’re going to do a dubstep record,” White joked. The truth of the matter, though, is they don’t have time to record an album right now. The Civil Wars were one of music’s underground success stories of 2011. The pair of hardworking, long-toiling solo artists joined together as a songwriting partnership and found the next step in their performance careers. Championed by Taylor Swift, Adele and dozens of other artists, it’s

Advice dance requires strength, determination, discipline and sacrifice. These are all traits that will serve you well regardless of what profession you decide to pursue when you’re older. The person you should ask this question of is your ballet teacher, who is better able to evaluate your talent than I can at a distance. But I urge you to stick with dance as long as it interests you. Even if you don’t eventually become a performer, you could become a choreographer, a teacher or find a rewarding career in some other capacity with a dance company. Now is not the time to give up on this dream. DEAR ABBY: My fiance is an amazing man and I’m lucky to have him, but because he’s in the military I don’t see him very often. I recently met a guy in one of my college classes who has made it clear that he’s attracted to me. I can’t help but feel the same about him. He often asks me to study and hang out with him. Am I being disloyal if I innocently study or hang out with this guy without telling my fiance? — FRIENDLY FIANCEE IN COLORADO

ditorium with a surprise visit from the pop star. And they unveiled the new documentary soundtrack for “Finding North” which they co-wrote with T Bone Burnett at Sundance. They’ll leave for their first European tour about two weeks after the Feb. 12 Grammy ceremony in Los Angeles. They hope to spend time there with fellow
nominee Swift, who has become a close friend. Swift knew each as a solo artist, and was instrumental in drawing attention to them at a pivotal point in the duo’s career. “I love The Civil Wars because they’re such a perfect example of two people who seem to be absolutely meant to make music together,” Swift said in an email. “Seeing JP and Joy come up with harmonies in the studio together is like watching a pair of twins communicating in their own way, finishing each other’s sentences and thoughts.” That incredible chemistry has led to new heights each week, it seems. They hope to achieve the same kind of audience reaction in Europe. In less than a year, their audience has grown from a hundred or so a show to thousands who soak in their dramatic harmonies and simple instrumentation in rapt silence. “I’d be lying if we said we had our brains wrapped completely around it,” White said. “We’ve kind of had blinders on all the last year and just focused on what’s going on that day. And each night we look up to a bigger crowd in a bigger city, a bigger piece of transportation, our crew gets bigger and it’s like, ‘How did this happen?’”

It isn’t easy to make six spades on this deal even if you see all 52 cards. And it’s certainly more difficult if you have to play the hand without this advantage. But, even so, the correct method of play is almost sure to land the contract whether you see
the East-West cards or not. Declarer starts with 11 tricks consisting of seven spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. Stated differently, South has two potential losers — both in clubs. The simplest way of trying to avoid one of the club losers is to finesse the club queen in the hope that West was dealt the king. However, this method of play offers only a 50 percent chance for the slam — and a competent declarer is always reluctant to settle for just an even chance without first seeking another method of play that might increase the likelihood of success. So, in order to give himself a better shot for the

slam, declarer adopts a line of play designed to circumvent the finesse. He wins the diamond lead with the king, cashes the spade ace, plays a diamond to the ace and ruffs a diamond high. Only four tricks have been played, but South is already certain to make the slam. A low trump to the queen is followed by a ruff of dummy’s last diamond. Declarer then draws trumps, leads his singleton heart and, after West follows low, plays dummy’s ten! East wins, but — whether he returns a heart or a club — South acquires his 12th trick. Note that if West plays the king on South’s heart lead, the outcome is exactly the same. Declarer
wins with the ace and returns dummy’s jack to force out the queen (discarding if East plays low), and thereby establishes his 12th trick.

Professor documents cancer battle BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER Associated Press

David Oliver, left, hugs his wife Debra Parker Oliver after receiving encouraging test results at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center in Columbia, Mo. David Oliver has built a career teaching medical school students and hospital workers how to care for dying patients. Now, after the University of Missouri research professor was diagnosed with cancer in September 2011 and broke the news to colleagues by video on the Internet, he is applying those lessons to his own life. abroad teacher, wanted advice on how to comfort his own friend with cancer. Medical students probed for suggestions about patient care. A college professor in Florida asked permission to use the video in class. A former Vietnam War protester who four decades ago entered the then-nascent field of gerontology, Oliver spent decades sharing lessons on how to die. Now, buoyed by the power of social media, he was showing others how to live. Anyone who expected to feel sorry for Oliver was quickly disabused of that notion after watching his first diary entry. A die-hard Missouri Tigers fan, Oliver made sure to highlight the two “puke buckets” he planned to obtain for chemotherapy and radiation treatments: one emblazoned with the rival Kansas Jayhawks logo, the other bearing an Oklahoma Sooner, another foe. Beyond the humor, Oliver realized his illness provided a chance to help prepare patients

and their loved ones, to trade whispers for matter-of-fact observations, to push the conversation from the shadows into the virtual public square. The second video installment featured Oliver getting his head shaved, his full crop of grayishblond hair falling to the salon floor before the chemo drugs took their toll. By the third video, his bald head was gleaming. Oliver stood behind a dozen pill bottles containing a wide range of drugs from the steroid dexamethasone to morphine. He talked about dealing with “chemo brain,” the persistent mental fog that trails the otherwise lucid professor post-treatment. In mid-December, a noticeably subdued Oliver appeared on camera to chronicle the 21 days between his three chemotherapy treatments to that point. He talked about the highs of the first few days, fueled by energy-boosting steroids that made him feel “ready to run a triathlon.” Then comes the

Superman is dead on the fifth day.” Ever the professor, he used a bar graph to illustrate his threeweek cycles. Four months of treatment have also given Oliver a window into modern health care from the patient’s perspective. He hasn’t liked all that he’s seen, particularly the limited interaction between doctors and nurses. He makes sure that his caregivers are also watching his video dispatches. “I’m in a position to be extremely critical while they’re giving me treatment,” Oliver said. “They consider me an advocate. They want me to help with their patient training.” Oliver, a former executive at Heartland Health System in St.
Namaste, travelers! SFO opens airport yoga room TERENCE CHEA Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stressed out by flying? Travelers in Northern California can now find their inner calm in the Yoga Room at San Francisco International Airport. The quiet, dimly lit studio officially opened last week in a former storage room just past the security checkpoint at SFO’s Terminal 2. Airport officials believe the 150-square-foot room with mirrored walls is the world’s first airport yoga studio, said spokesman Mike McCarron. The room, open to all ticketed passengers, contains a few chairs and yoga mats but no instructors or televisions. No shoes, food, drinks or cell phones are allowed. “Silence is appreciated,” says a sign spelling out “Yoga Room Etiquette.” A prominent blue-and-
white sign with a Buddhalike pictogram beckons visitors: “Come check out our Yoga Room.” Frequent flyer Maria Poole accepted the invitation, practicing a downward dog asana and other yoga poses before boarding her flight. “It’s perfect,” said Poole, 47, of Lafayette. “I think it should be in every airport, especially the terminals that I fly through. This would be such a great way for me to get my exercise in, get a little peace and quiet — a little Zen moment.” The Yoga Room is just the latest example of how airports are trying to improve the passenger experience and showcase their regional culture, noting the ancient practice’s popularity in the San Francisco Bay area, said Debby McElroy, executive vice president of Airports Council International-North America. In recent years, airports

have upgraded their food and shopping venues and added massage parlors, nail salons, dry cleaners and pet hotels, McElroy said, but SFO is the first to add a yoga room in North America and probably the world. “I expect other airports will be looking at whether a yoga room at their airport makes sense,” McElroy said. SFO officials say the idea came from a passenger who checked out the newly remodeled terminal last year and told Airport Director John Martin it was lacking
one thing: a yoga room. Martin, a long-time yoga practitioner, agreed. Airport managers spent $15,000 to $20,000 to turn the storage space into the yoga studio. SFO officials had to design the Yoga icon after they couldn’t find one in the international guide of airport pictograms that direct travelers to taxis, restrooms and baggage claim carousels. Lindsey Shepard of Fremont, who was traveling with Poole, said she liked having “a dark place to chill out and have a timeout and relax.”

COLUMBIA, Mo. — At first, David Oliver ignored the bump on his neck that he noticed while shaving. The medical school professor assumed it was calcified scar tissue from a previous surgery. But the growth didn’t go away, and his sore back grew more painful. A doctor’s diagnosis confirmed the worst: He had a form of upper throat cancer called nasal pharyngeal carcinoma. It had spread to his lymph nodes and bones. Then Oliver, who has spent a career teaching medical students and hospital workers how to care for dying patients, took an unusual step. He made a video to break the news to colleagues. And when the clip spread far beyond this Missouri college town, Oliver undertook a bigger mission: documenting his treatment in regular videos and promoting an unusually public conversation on medicine and mortality. “If there was ever a time to be a good teacher, this is it,” he said. “I’ve got a chance.” Oliver, a 69-year-old specialist on aging and a former health care executive, at first struggled to absorb the diagnosis in September. His cancer is considered treatable but not curable. He wanted to avoid the inevitable stares from colleagues at the University of Missouri’s medical school, even those whose jobs often required them to confront terminal illness. He knew there would be whispers in the hallway and uncertainty about how or even whether to discuss the disease. Oliver’s initial video was meant to “put them at ease when they saw me. I’m still David,” he said. “I might have five years. I might have six months. But I want you to be comfortable.” The video quickly spread after Oliver’s five adult children shared the three-minute clip with Facebook friends, who in turn shared it with their own friends. A short time later, he started a video blog and a YouTube site. For his followers, the updates alone weren’t enough. Questions soon followed. A viewer from Japan, his stepdaughter’s former study
Joseph, knows he can engage with his doctors on a level of familiarity that most patients cannot. That’s another motivation for his videos, to help level the playing field. “I’m not intimidated by physicians. I realize they are people like everybody else,” he said. “They make mistakes like everybody else. … This is my opportunity to talk about these flaws and disappointments.” As the disease lingers, he and his wife of 16 years, Debra Parker Oliver, must also plan for life after his death. A few short months ago, that talk consisted mostly of retirement, visits with the grandchildren and their next ocean cruise. Now it means stressful sessions with financial advisers and making plans for his memorial service. “I am not afraid to die,” Oliver said. “I am a gerontologist. I know that none of us get out of this alive.” His wife, an associate professor and former hospice worker who also works in the family and community medicine department, is less certain. “Maybe he’s not afraid to die, but he’s afraid of dying,” she said, her husband by her side. “The idea of this man being confined to a bed, maybe not being able to speak, is much more scary than what you are willing to admit.” On a recent visit to the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center, the couple received some encouraging news: A scan showed no visible lesions, meaning all were less than 1 centimeter in length. He will return later this month for two final rounds of chemotherapy followed by three months of freedom from medical procedures before getting another scan. Best of all, the good news buys him time. Time for a long-awaited cruise to Istanbul and Rome. Maybe time to travel to the NCAA basketball tournament in March to watch his beloved Tigers as the team seeks its first-ever Final Four berth. The cancer is “still there. It will grow back,” he said. “Eventually it will grow back and kill me.” No one knows how much time remains. If it’s more than a year, he added, “we can produce a lot more videos.”

Lehman grad plays role in ‘Super’ planning Arnold director of operations for host committee BY KEN BARHORST Ohio Community Media kbarhorst@sdnccg.com INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Sidney native Andy Arnold is not a risk taker. But he knows an opportunity when he sees one. That’s why, in a little less than two months, he will be in the job market. Confused? Okay, if ARNOLD you asked the question, “what is the biggest sporting event of the year in this country?” chances are a healthy percentage of the respondents would reply “the Super Bowl.” And they would be correct. According to Wikipedia, Super Bowl
West Milton man arrested on sex charge STAFF REPORT W E S T M I LT O N — Miami County Sheriff ’s detectives arrested Derek A. Brunsveld, 24, of West Milton, on Tuesday for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and inc a r c e rated him in the Miami County J a i l , sheriff ’s office reported in a BRUNSVELD news release Friday. Miami County School Resource Deputy Todd Cooper had received information of alleged misconduct involving Brunsveld and minor females he was meeting through the online social media website Facebook. Preliminary investigation reveals that Brunsveld was using Facebook to meet and communicate with potential minor victims, listing more than 3,000 friends on his Facebook account. Brunsveld also is the lead singer for a band in Ludlow Falls. Due to Facebook possibly being used to facilitate access to potential victims, detectives are requesting anyone who may have information about Brunsveld and his conduct with minor females to contact Detective Amber Mahan at 440-3965, Ext. 6632. Anonymous information can be posted on the website www.miamicountysheriff.org.
committee. He was an event manager at Lucas Oil Stadium, site of Sunday’s game. The city of Indianapolis bid a few years ago on last year’s Super Bowl, but it lost out to Dallas. Then in 2008, the city again bid on this year’s Super Bowl — and won. Arnold had the opportunity to join the host committee, but it would mean leaving his job with Lucas Oil Stadium. And his commitment to the host committee ends on March 31. But he really never hesitated. “I thought it was worth the risk,” he said. “It’s a little scary now that it’s getting closer. But I’m a planner, so a year and a half ago, I knew this was a possibility, so I was doing financial planning. “It was a series of things,” he said of his decision. “First, I thought this could be a once-ina-lifetime opportunity. I was at a point with Lucas Oil Stadium where I was ready to spend a little more time with my family. I probably work more now, but in my other job, I had to be on site all the time. With this, I’m able to
work at home. My daughter was just 6 months old at the time, and she was able to sway my opinion quite a bit.” He said one of the bigger aspects of his job is coordinating with the NFL staff. And he said neighborhood outreach is “critical.” “There can be such an impact on neighboring businesses,” Arnold said. “You have to reach out to those people. And there’s a residential neighborhood right across from the stadium. There is only one road that gets people into their neighborhoods. So we scheduled a series of meetings with them. “Many people in Indianapolis have never experienced a Super Bowl before, so we wanted to bring their concerns forward and deal with them,” he added. Some of the many committees Arnold formed include risk management, transportation, parking and, of course, weather response. The mild winter looks like it will spare Arnold and his team from having to deal with ice or snow, but he still has twicedaily conference calls with that committee.
Sports is a big part of the Arnold family. His wife is also in the business, working for the Indianapolis Sports Corp. Arnold explained the corporation brings sporting events to the city, and helps with bids on golf tournaments and events like the college basketball Final Four. As game day fast approaches, Arnold said he won’t really have a rooting interest Sunday when the Giants and the Patriots meet. “I cheer for the Colts, but the Buckeyes, that’s where my heart is,” he said. And he wouldn’t hesitate to go through it all again. “I would definitely do it over,” he said. “The timing was right. The Indy community has been unbelievable in embracing the event. Not just attendees, but volunteers, financial commitment, the city, the state … It’s not often we knock on a door and run into a road block.” It’s been difficult work and a lot of hours. But Arnold says he wonders what it would have been like had the Colts made it to the Super Bowl. “This city would have come unglued.”
100th day Continued from page 1 the different stations, spending 20 minutes in each. Also, as a volunteer assignment, students were invited to bring 100 of something in for a sharing table, located in the hallway next to Principal Molly Hays’ office. From plastic bags of candies, noodles and rubber bands, to 100 pieces of popcorn glued to a piece of paper, some of the entries were quite unusual. Second-grader Riley Scroggin decided to use technology to study the number 100. Using Google
Maps, Riley researched what towns were located exactly 100 miles from Piqua. The answers: Lyons, Ohio is 100 miles north; Brooksville, Ky. is 100 miles south; Bladenburg, Ohio is 100 miles to the east; and Indianapolis, Ind. — home of Super Bowl XLVI (46th) this coming Sunday — just happens to be 100 miles west of Piqua. Third-graders Caron Coleman, 9, and Lillie Schaeffer, also 9, were more than excited to talk about their 100 Day activities. “I liked it when we build a paper castle using 100 index cards,” Schaeffer
said. “We used a meter stick to measure 100 centimeters.” Coleman said his favorite activity was building the aluminum foil boat. “We built the boat and tested it with 100 pennies, 100 dinosaurs and 100 bears,” he said. The boats were put to the test in a tub of water, then the pennies or small toy bears and dinosaurs were put on board. Coleman said his boat withstood all three tests of 100 pieces. Second-grader Sarah Themar, 7, said her favorite 100 Day activities were “putting together the 100-
piece pig puzzle,” which was a team-building activity. Themar also enjoyed the gym activity, which tested the students’ motor skills while they also used math skills to count passes with a ball and two 50-foot lengths on scooters. At the end of the 100 Day activity, students returned to their homerooms to complete a journal writing entry on what they’d learned about the number 100. “It’s a fun way to incorporate their curriculum,” said Molly Hay, principal, who noted that due to no weather-related delays this school year, that the

100th day came a little earlier than normal. “It’s usually the middle of February when we celebrate 100 days.” Hays also said the mild winter has affected another part of the school day. “This was one of the few Januarys that we’ve been able to have so many outside recess days,” she said. As of Friday, the last day of class scheduled for the 2011-12 school year will be May 30 — but there’s still six more weeks of winter ahead, according to Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction on Groundhog’s Day, this past Thursday.

Sunday is considered a de facto American national holiday. It is the second-largest food consumption day behind only Thanksgiving, and the game has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year. Imagine what it takes to prepare for such an event. Well, Arnold, a 1998 Lehman High School graduate who received his bachelor’s degree in sports management from the University of Dayton, doesn’t have to imagine. He’s been living it for more than a year. Arnold is the Super Bowl Host Committee’s Director of Operations, so it’s safe to say he’s been a little busy lately. “It’s been really interesting,” Arnold said from Indianapolis, site of this year’s game. “There’s no way to anticipate it. You think about how busy you’re going to be, but having never done it before … People can tell you about it, but until you experience it, you can’t know.” But back to that job market thing. Arnold would appear to have been a natural to take on such an important position with the host

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012 The conditions that have impeded your progress in the past will dissipate or diminish in the year ahead. They’ll be replaced with activities that could provide opportunities to visit new places and make new friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — There’s a strong possibility that someone whom you were expecting help from is also anticipating aid from you. Neither will be able to assist the other. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Social events might hold a strong appeal, yet large groups could unnerve you. Try to share your time with a few intimate friends whose company you enjoy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you want to do something constructive, that’s great. However, don’t get down on your family or pals just because they aren’t of a similar mind. Do your own thing by yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Someone you don’t particularly like might come up with some long-sought-for and quite valuable information. Don’t reject it just because of its source. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You could be so busy watching others to make sure they do what is expected of them that you will forget about your own obligations. You need to be the one who sets the example. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If this turns out to be a day when there is no possibility of pleasing others, establish your own objectives and put all your efforts toward fulfilling them. At least you’ll get something solid accomplished. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Even though you might want to spend your time on activities or jobs of your own choosing, it might not be possible because of duties that you’ve previously neglected. You won’t enjoy reaping what you’ve sown. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — There’s a good chance that you will be inclined to champion your own causes, which is well and good. Others won’t mind as long as you don’t impose your desires on them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s admirable of you to set lofty objectives for yourself, as long as you don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you lack the fortitude to satisfy your goals, you’re likely to throw in the old terry cloth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t prematurely talk to the wrong person about any of your good ideas. A cunning co-worker could take your thinking and make it his or her own, stealing all the credit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be careful not to put yourself in a position where you are held responsible for a friend’s obligation. It could happen rather easily if you’re oblivious to your surroundings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even if your ideas are better than your mate’s, he or she may not be convinced of this if you don’t present your stance with clarity. Make a logical argument, not an emotional one. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

Choosing a lender Cyndie Scott
Property inspections are common in most real estate transactions, and are recommended even in the hottest markets. The question becomes what do you do when the inspector's report comes back with items listed in need of repair. Whether you're the buyer or seller, just keep a cool head and approach the repairs logically. Focus on the major habitability issues. Minor repairs are not the ultimate goal of the inspection process. Major repairs should be handled as soon as possible, in order to avoid any delays in closing. Once the buyers have secured quotes for repairs, they should present their requests to the sellers either for the repairs to be completed or to be given a dollar amount for the repairs. The sellers may also choose to get quotes for the repairs, and if there is a significant difference, the two parties may negotiate how the repair will be addressed. Either party may complete the repairs, but sellers who are busy preparing to move may offer a dollar amount to the buyers so the buyers may have the repairs completed later with contractors of their choice. Once agreed to, the final terms of the arrangement should be put in writing, and then signed and dated by both the buyers and sellers. Whoever accepts responsibility for the repairs should have paid receipts for all of the work done so it can be shared with the other party. Proper documentation of each repair will protect both parties and ensure a smooth and successful closing.

When you are buying a new home or refinancing your present one, it is wise to do some comparison shopping among lenders. A low interest rate isn't the only criterion by which to evaluate a loan. You should also consider the terms of the mortgage, what your closing costs will be and the reputation of the lender. Real estate agents are a good source of information about loans and lenders, whether you are buying a home or just refinancing your present home. We routinely assist buyers when they need a mortgage in order to purchase a home. We know what loan packages are available and the qualifying requirements. The companies with the lowest rates sometimes have very conservative underwriting guidelines, and may not be willing to make loans on certain types of property or to buyers who are marginally qualified. We can tell you which companies and loan officers will go the extra mile to provide excellent service to make sure that the transaction closes.

Showing his relaxed side Belichick ready for Super Bowl
AP PHOTO
Aaron Craft and Ohio State are hoping for a different outcome this year at Wisconsin today.
Looking for different results OSU travels to Wisconsin for Big Ten showdown COLUMBUS (AP) — Among the hundreds of games fighting for position in Aaron Craft's mind, one stands out. And the thing he remembers most from Ohio State's stunning upset loss last year at Wisconsin is that runaway torrent of cardinal flowing right at him from all directions. "It was the first time I've ever had a court stormed on me," the Ohio State point guard said of the then-No. 1 Buckeyes' 71-67 loss in Kohl Center last Feb. 12. "You look up and it's almost like 'deer in the headlights' — what's going on? You're shaking hands and (then just trying) to find the way to the locker room." When the third-ranked Buckeyes (19-3, 7-2) put the top spot in the Big Ten on the line Saturday in Madison, Wis., they don't want to get caught in the crush again. The Buckeyes had sliced through every opponent before having their perfect season end after 24 games last year in Madison, Wis. This year they hold a slight lead
over three teams with three losses — No. 19 Wisconsin (18-5, 7-3), Michigan and Michigan State. The Badgers, who have won their last six, feel as if a lot of teams are rooting for them. "We're playing for the whole conference, in a way," said Jordan Taylor, who scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half of last year's victory over the Buckeyes. "It's a big game. I'd be lying to you if I said it wasn't. But we're going to approach it just like any other game." Ohio State coach Thad Matta doesn't like to elevate one game — oh, my gosh, they're rivals! — from others on his schedule. He tries to be shortsighted, dealing only with the opponent at hand. And he tries to pass that attitude on to his team, to prevent it from losing track of the task at hand. But even Matta, who is 0-6 at Wisconsin in his eight years at Ohio State, is itching to end that losing skid. "I don't drive to work in morning saying, 'This is
the biggest game of the year. We have to do this ...'" he said. "It's more like, 'Hey, we're playing a great basketball team, a top-20 team.'" He hesitated for an instant before adding, "The fact that we haven't won there as a program, it does make you want to definitely win." After Wisconsin stormed back from a 15point deficit and then stormed the court, Ohio State's All-American forward, Jared Sullinger, said a fan spit in his face. Badgers coach Bo Ryan said there were surveillance cameras around Kohl Center which may have picked up the alleged expectoration, although no proof was ever presented one way or the other. He ended up discounting the alleged incident, adding, "Deal with it." Ohio State's fans chanted that phrase during the rematch in Columbus in which the Buckeyes coasted to a 93-65 win. But Buckeyes forward Deshaun Thomas said Sullinger has not talked anything beyond routine
game preparation this week. "He really doesn't discuss it," Thomas said of Sullinger. "He just goes on to the next game. He's a guy who's focused right now." Moments after the Badgers beat Penn State 52-46 on Tuesday night, Ryan was already thinking about the Buckeyes, who have won their last four. "We know what Ohio State has. We know what they bring," he said. "Things are going to really have to jell to (beat) a team like that." Matta doesn't believe his players are talking about how Wisconsin has won the last nine home meetings with Ohio State. With a couple of difficult games most weeks, there's not much time or effort left over for vendettas or revenge. "My biggest thing is do they know why we haven't won there?" he said. Asked if he knew why, he said, "There's a lot of reasons. And they've had really good teams up there."
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — He fishes, goes to wine festivals, even kisses his girlfriend in full view at a Boston Celtics game. He's Bill Belichick. Really. The New England Patriots coach, whose dour demeanor matches his gray hoodie and whose quotes make clichés seem original, actually has a colorful side rarely seen by football junkies. For some reason — and Belichick has a reason for everything — he's loosened up this Super Bowl week with a season's worth of smiles, jokes and fashionable attire. "He's a good dude," tight end Aaron Hernandez said. "You just have to catch him on the right day." There have been several of those this week, as the Pats prepare to play the New York Giants in Sunday's NFL title game, enough to show that Belichick is more than a onedimensional gridiron "genius" but perhaps not enough to prove his public makeover will last until next season. Matt Light, who has played left tackle for the Patriots since 2001, has watched Belichick coach about 1,000 practices. He's heard him rip players of all stature — from stars to practice squadders. And he's seen him offer encouragement with a pat on the back. Light also noticed that Belichick has relaxed with age; he turns 60 in April, and has spent 37 of those years in various capacities on NFL coaching staffs. "I think he's had a little more fun with some of the things that surround the game of football," Light said. "Whether it's just his old age softening him a little bit, he seems to be having a little bit more fun with it. "But I think at the heart of everything he does, he just wants to win football games. Football is football and everything
else is kind of secondary to that. His main focus is the game. I'm not sure you need to have a whole lot of humor when you're that focused on what you do, but it's kind of nice to see it every now and then." For six straight days during Super Bowl week, Belichick regaled reporters with humor and historical reminiscences, careful all the while not to reveal any game plans or speak of the Giants with anything but admiration. "Trust me, at times Bill can be difficult to deal with," nose tackle Vince Wilfork said, "but I think he sees a difference in this team. I think he knows that he has a pretty tough football team, a smart football team and a team that's never going to let him down. We have one more game to go. Hopefully, we won't let him down." However it turns out, it will mark the start of Belichick's offseason. At some point, he's likely to return to Nantucket,, where he relaxes on his boat "V Rings" and fishes for "Nantucket Blues," drops by the island's summer wine festival and maybe strolls into Rocky Fox's "Chicken Box." Belichick popped in there with some friends a few summers ago to hear a Bruce Springsteen cover band, said Fox, one of three owners of the nearly 50-year-old nightclub that he calls "a five-star dive bar." "He was low-key, kept to himself with his friends, just enjoyed the music and was very hospitable," Fox said. "When they left he said, 'See you guys later.' He was the coolest guy in the building, just chilling out." He chilled at a Celtics playoff game few years ago, too. Sitting beside girlfriend Linda Holliday, a former Mrs. Arkansas contestant, the two turned to each other in their courtside seats and kissed.
Piqua Continued from page 16 But, as much as anything, Piqua just couldn’t put enough points up. “When you are playing a team that has two scorers like that, you have to be able to answer them at the other end,” Butler said. “And we didn’t do that. I thought we did a pretty good job on the boards, but at critical moments, they seemed to get offensive rebounds and score.” Another problem was Sidney was in double digits on blocked shots. “You have to give (Gold) Barnes credit,” Butler said. “He was very patient on our ball fakes, not leaving his feet. That is something we did a good job on against Trotwood and Xenia, but you need to make that second or third ball fake, if that is what it takes, to get them off their feet.” Jordan Feeser had 14 points and eight rebounds for Piqua, while Wellbaum also scored 14 points. The Hudsons matched Piqua’s team total. Patwaun Hudson had 30 points, while Dezmond Hudson had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Piqua was 18 of 56 from the floor for 32 percent and 10 of 16 from the line for 63 percent. Sidney was 25 of 56 from the floor 45 percent and 10 of 15 from the line for 67 percent. Piqua won the battle of the boards 32-24, but had 22 turnovers to Sidney’s 13. The Piqua JVs lost 51-45. Daniel Monnin scored 22 points and Azjhon Taylor added 10. The Piqua freshman won 43-17. Tate Honeycutt scored 17 points and Brandon Hohlbein added 11. Piqua will play at Trotwood-Madison Tuesday night.
