Speed limit changes to make a return BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff writer broyer@dailycall.com PIQUA —Those interested in the state of local streets both as a driver and bicycle rider will want to attend Tuesday’s commission meeting. The night’s agenda will cover the Ash Street redevelopment and Commercial Street Bike Route projects, along with the resurfacing of State Route 185. As the much-anticipated Ash Street project draws near, commission will discuss the purchase of personal property along the corridor and an increase to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) purchase order to ensure funds are available to see this enormous project through to completion. Commission will also discuss a resolution to award LJB, Inc. a design contract on a one mile bike lane that will connect the Great Miami River Recreational Trail to the
existing Piqua Activity Trail for your Health or PATH. The bike route project is being partially funded through a grant from the Miami Valley Regional Commission, Planning with construction due to begin fall of 2014. Discussion on resurfacing portions of St. Rt. 185 will be preliminary in nature and cover the 80/20 cost split between the city and ODOT. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2016 on the section between Covington and Park Avenues. A first reading to amendments in traffic schedules, purchasing of transformers for utilities, and a show of appreciation to the public service of city employee Allen Dock will round out Tuesday’s meeting. Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex. For those seeking an informal chance to speak with their city leaders, a commission work session is being offered once a month in the commission chambers starting at 7:30 p.m. The next work session is scheduled for Thursday, March 8.

Blast kills husband of missing Utah woman, 2 boys GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) — An explosion at a Washington state home has killed Josh Powell, the husband of a missing Utah woman, plus their two young sons, officials said Sunday. The explosion occurred moments after a Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to the home for a supervised visit, Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz told The Associated Press. Powell let the boys in the house, then blocked the social worker from entering. The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas, and the home exploded. “Everything we know
right now, this has become a crime scene,” Franz said. The children had been living with Susan Powell’s parents since Josh Powell’s father Steven was arrested on child porn and voyeurism charges last fall. On Wednesday, a judge had denied an attempt by Josh Powell to regain custody, saying she wouldn’t consider returning the two boys to their father until he underwent a psycho-sexual evaluation. Josh Powell was under investigation in the disappearance of his 28-year-old wife from their West Valley City, Utah, home in December 2009. He claimed he had taken the boys on a midnight excursion in freezing
temperatures when she vanished. The case took a bizarre turn last year after Powell’s father, Steve, was arrested for investigation of voyeurism and possessing child pornography. Josh was living at his father’s home at the time, and a judge gave Susan Powell’s parents custody of the boys. Sgt. Mike Powell of the West Valley City Police Department in Utah, which is handling the investigation into Susan Powell’s disappearance, said it was too soon to say how Josh Powell’s death may impact their probe. “Quite frankly, this has obviously quickly unfolded

Wardens get raises
Obituaries
COLUMBUS (AP) — The state prisons director says most Ohio wardens received raises this year as they take on more responsibility under a reorganization plan for the overcrowded system. That’s drawing criticism from the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, the union that represents about 9,000 corrections staff, which views the raises as an insult in light of hundreds of layoffs and reports of a looming budget shortfall in the prisons division. “They’re asking us to make sacrifices but giving exorbitant raises to, basically, the desk jockeys,” OCSEA spokeswoman Sally Meckling told The Associated Press on Sun-
day. The wardens earned rates ranging from below $35 an hour to above $44 an hour, but most are now making $42.40 — or about $88,000 a year. A few were exempted from the new pay level, including two who already make more. The change that will cost taxpayers nearly $250,000 more annually, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Director Gary Mohr told the Dispatch that the raises reflect the wardens’ new duties and increased responsibility for operations and recidivism rates as the state moves toward a three-tiered prison system designed to help decrease violence and offenders’ repeated stints behind bars.
Impression Continued from page 1 Club, National Honor Society and the Spanish Club. She was a varsity cheerleader for football and basketball, and she ran track for the Indians. Mohr played clarinet in the band, sang in the choir, and performed in the school musicals.And,she was activities editor of the school yearbook. After high school, Mohr enrolled at Ohio University and earned a bachelor’s degree in education in 1985. She received a master’s degree in curriculum and supervision from Wright State University in 1992. “Shelby Adams, my firstgrade teacher at South Street, and Ron Brisker, my fourth-grade teacher, had a huge impact on me,” Mohr said. “I have tried to model myself after both these successful educators. They always cared about me, and I stayed in contact with them through my high school and college years. I continue to run into Mr. Brisker at school functions.” Mohr started her teaching career with Sidney City Schools.“I was hired by Gary Reed who grew up in Piqua,” Mohr said. “He helped me immensely through my first years.” She taught third grade for 12 years, then, came to Piqua City Schools in 1997. “We lived in Piqua, and I wanted to be on the same schedule as my son who was in first grade at the time,” she said. Her Piqua career began at South Street as a second grade teacher.“It was a little weird because I was teaching second- grade in the exact room where I had been a second-grade student,” she said. “It still had the same mirror on the wall, and I can remember looking in that mirror and seeing my reflection as a second-grader, and now, I saw a teacher.” When South Street closed two years later, Mohr transferred to second-grade at Favorite Hill. She is in her 15th year with Piqua City Schools. “Jane Peck helped me a lot when I came to Piqua,” Mohr said. “We have taught together at both South Street and Favorite Hill. She led me along and showed me how to get by when resources and materi-
als were scarce.” Mohr is proud of the efforts of Favorite Hill’s second grade team: herself, Peck, Pam Wynne, Lindsey Penrod, and Alyson Subler. “We work well together for the benefit of each student,” Mohr said. The team has incorporated the latest in technology in their classrooms. “We utilize Smartboards, Smart Slates, laptops, and we test and evaluate our students with the latest technology. It’s amazing how quickly we can gather results and data on students,” she said. “The secondgraders are very tech savvy and catch on easily.” Mohr is enjoying co-teaching with Brittany Sword. “I like having another teacher in the classroom,”Mohr said. “Brittany and I plan and work well together. We are able to provide more individualized and small group lessons and activities.” Mohr has served as a mentor to three first-year teachers, sharing her knowledge and experience. She has also been a cooperating teacher for three student teachers. She has worked with the Teacher Academy at the Upper valley Career Center. Outside the classroom, Mohr has worked on numerous committees including the Calendar Committee, Safety Committee, various curriculum committees, and the Labor Management Committee.She helped coordinate the Family Nights at Favorite Hill, and she volunteered with the Football Moms Club for several years. At home, Mohr enjoys working in the yard and reading. “I read two or three books a week,” she said. She and her husband Mike who works as a district sales manager for Jackson Tube have been married 25 years. They have two sons. Jake, 21, is a Firefighter/EMT. He is currently enrolled at Shawnee State pursuing an Emergency Medical Services degree.Mac,soon-to-be 18,is a senior at Piqua High School and will attend the University of Cincinnati in Information Technology.The family spends most warm weather weekends at Grand Lake St. Marys swimming, boating, and being with friends.

Lehman students take part in Science Olympiad SIDNEY — Lehman Catholic’s Science Olympiad team placed 41st out of 59 teams at an invitational held recently at Wright State University. Schools competing in this event came from nine states. In addition to teams from Ohio, other teams traveled from Indiana, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, New York, Tennessee and Wisconsin were represented in the competition. In Science Olympiad, students on each team compete individually or in groups in a series of 23 events that test their knowledge of science skills, processes, and applications in a wide range of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, technology, earth science, and mathematics. Each student on Lehman’s Science Olympiad Team usually trains for three events.
All schools compete together without regard to school size, as is the case in athletic competition. Lehman is usually one of the smallest schools at every contest. At this invitational, Lehman placed in the top half of the competitors in seven events. Jacob Haller and Riley Pickrel placed 12th in Towers. Katie Rossman and Dan Deafenbaugh placed 20th in Thermodynamics. Also finishing in the top half in their events were Nick Boshonek and Dan Deafenbaugh, 25th in Robot Arm; Stephen Blenman and Riley Pickrel, 27th in Helicopters; Katie Rossman, Jacob Haller, and Grace Winhoven, 27th in Experimental Design; and Dan Deafenbaugh and Nick Boshonek, 27th in Chemistry Lab. Lehman Catholic will next compete
in the Northwest (Ohio) Regional competition on Saturday, March 3. At stake is a trip to the state competition. Lehman has qualified for state the past seven consecutive years. The faculty adviser of the Lehman team is Science Department Chair Sister Ginny Scherer. Other Lehman science teachers involved in coaching the team are Tracy Hall and Ruth Baker. Volunteers from the Lehman community who help with coaching are Jim Hemm, Gary Schultz, Frank Blenman, and Kim and Steve Wenning. This year’s team is being funded through a Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. Educational Grant. Additional funding was received from the Piqua Community Foundation and the Piqua Knights of St. John.

Anne Frank Anne Frank was born to Otto Frank and his wife Edith on June 12, 1929. They named her Annelies Marie. She had a sister Margot who was three years older. They were a Jewish family living in Germany. Their families had lived in Germany for centuries. By 1932, Adolph Hitler had risen to power in Germany and instead of enjoying a democracy, the German people now suffered under the rule of a dictator. Hitler blamed the Jews for all the problems in the country. Otto realized it was becoming unsafe for his family in Germany and moved them to the Netherlands. He set up a company in Amsterdam making a product that the women used to make homemade jam. It was called Opekta. (Pectin is derived from fruits and will cause jelly and jam to jell. In America you can buy a pectin product called Sure Jell.) The family was safe for a while, but then in 1940, the Germans invaded the Netherlands and began to arrest and persecute the Jews there. They put restrictions on the Jews and made them wear an identifying yellow star on their clothes. They could not own a business. They could not ride a bicycle. Life became very hard, and the Jews feared for their lives. Margot, Anne's sister was called to report to a work camp in Germany. The family had been planning a hiding place, but with Margot's call-up they knew they had to hide immediately. And so they did. The date was July 6, 1942. The hiding place became known as the Secret Annex. It was located at 263 Prinsengracht. The Frank family would occupy two rooms on the first floor. A week later Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels and their son would move into the two rooms on the second floor. From Peter's tiny room they could access the attic where food was stored. There was a small bathroom on the first floor. The first thing they did was make curtains to prevent anyone from seeing in. An eighth person, Fritz Pfeffer, an older man, a dentist, arrived in November and would share a room with Anne. Father Voskuijl made a movable bookcase to hide the door through which they entered their quarters. There were four people who
helped them during the two years and 30 days they were in hiding. Miep Gies, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl provided food for them, and at great personal risk to their own lives visited daily and brought news from the outside world. The people in hiding must be very quiet when the warehouse workers are at work downstairs. They can move around when the men are gone for lunch, and at 5:30 in the afternoon when the workers leave the building Anne and the others are free to go downstairs into the office area. Anne calls it their "nightly freedom." The Franks had brought school books for an extended stay and library books are brought to the group weekly. They spend a lot of time reading, studying, and working correspondence courses. Anne writes in her diary. She creates an imaginary friend "Kitty" with whom she shares her innermost thoughts in her writings. Sometimes she writes short stories. After hearing on a radio broadcast that there would be a collection of the diaries and writings made during the war, Anne begins to think about making her writings into a book. After a lot of thought she decides she will call it "Achterhuis" (Secret Annex). She begins rewriting her entries, leaving out some very personal items she would rather not share. For over two months she works rewriting her diaries. On August 4, 1944, the people in hiding were discovered. Someone, they never found out who, betrayed them and a Secret Service officer and three men of the Dutch police force came up the stairs, entered with guns, and herded them away to jail. The two men who had been helping them were also arrested and taken to the city
prison. The two women helpers, Miep and Bep, were left behind. They went into Anne's small room. Her diaries were scattered all over the floor. They collected them and Miep kept them. The eight people are taken to a transit camp, Westerbork. From that camp people are taken to extermination and concentration camps. During the month they are there they have to break up old batteries. On September 2, 1944 their names appear on the list of people to be moved. They are put on freight cars and three days later they arrive at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The people in the freight cars were divided. Men and women were separated and then they were divided into groups; one group would go to labor camps, and those who could not work would be killed in the gas chamber. By the end of October, Anne and her sister Margot are transferred to another camp, Bergen-Belsen. They both become ill there and died of typhus in March 1945. They died just a few weeks before the British Army arrived and freed the prisoners. The four helpers survived the war and so did Anne's father, Otto Frank. He searched desperately for word of the fate of his family. Finally in July he met two sisters who witnessed the death of Anne and Margot. After Otto learned of the death of his daughters, Miep gave him the pages of the diary she had been saving. He was surprised at the depth of her writings. This was an Anne he never knew. He honored her wish to have her writings published as a book. First the book was published in the Dutch* language, then German, French, and English. The book was made into a stage play, then into a film. Today when you see the word "Holocaust" it usually refers to this time in which the German Army systematically killed nearly 6 million Jews. People need to learn about the Holocaust and the reasons why it happened, lest periods of hatred and discrimination cause a similar genocide. Some say it never happened at all, but we know it did because there are too many witnesses and survivors who lived to tell the world about those darkest of times. Today if you visit the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp you can see a memorial to Anne Frank and her sister Margot.

Today I met a man, a black man. His name is John Langston. He is neither a freed slave nor a runaway. He was born a free man, here, in the United States, in Virginia. He is a remarkable man who has been to college and who was even elected clerk in Lorain County. Now, he preaches abolition and recruits other black men for service in the Union Army. Though I miss home, and I most truly do, meeting a man such as Mr. Langston is proof to me that I have made the right decision. Ethan
Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Three: Week Three We take travel for granted. We’ve got cars and buses to get us around. And there are trucks, not to mention airplanes, to move more and bigger things. But back when Uncle Ethan was writing his letters, none of that existed. In fact, the fastest way of getting things from here to there was on railroads. During the Civil War, railroads were the supply lines that kept the Union army in food and clothes and bullets and stuff. They were transportation for newly enlisted soldiers heading south and for the wounded being shuttled back north. So I guess it’s not all that surprising that when abolitionists started illegally moving slaves from the southern states all the way up into Canada, they called that the Underground Railroad. Like all railroads, the Underground Railroad had stops along the way, places where people opened their homes to runaway slaves. Let me tell you that I am proud to say that Ohio had thirteen stops. That’s more than twice as many stops as any other state. They stretched from as far south as Riley clear up north into Sandusky and Ashtabula. And even though we were fighting a war to emanci-

pate the slaves, to free them, it was still against the law to help an escaped slave. The people who were helping were risking a lot, maybe even prison time. So they did their best to keep what they were doing secret. They built hidden rooms in their houses with tricky, secret doors and they built tunnels so that the people traveling the Underground Railroad could get in and out without being seen. One of the cool things about now, today, is that none of that stuff is secret anymore. Sometimes, some of those Underground Railroad stops are even open to the public, part of a park system or something, so we can go and see where they were and what they were like. And like I said,
there are a bunch of them here in Ohio, so there may even be one close to where you live. Anyway, enough about that.

“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation 4:11 AKJV)
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has long relished a dragged-out Republican primary contest that would leave the eventual GOP nominee battered before the fall election. He might be getting his wish, a prospect that is firing up Democrats, galvanizing their ranks and boosting fundraising pitches and requests for volunteers. “They’ve awakened some sleeping giants,” said Ira Leesfield, a Miami attorney and a longtime Democratic fundraiser. As the GOP voting shifts to contests in the Midwest and West, front-runner Mitt Romney’s chief rival, Newt Gingrich, is attacking him at every turn and pledging to stay in the race well into the spring. And Romney is paying a price for it: The former Massachusetts governor’s negative perceptions among voters have climbed in recent weeks, a trend that could hurt him in a general election matchup with Obama. “The Florida primary will be a turning point in this race the other side is looking at what could be months of brutal, negative tactics that turn people off to politics altogether,” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a fundraising pitch to supporters. The Obama campaign’s most recent fundraising report showed it had more than $80 million in the bank, a healthy sum for the coming year. Democrats and Obama specifically are no stranger to drawn-out fights. Hillary Rodham Clinton didn’t drop out of the race until June 2008, but both candidates avoided driving up their negative ratings. Obama’s team is trying to take advantage of the extra time in this election year, using the next several weeks to focus on his best political asset: being president. Obama is filling his time with a post-State of the Union agenda underscoring the themes of his re-election bid. That means pushing ideas with mainstream appeal, like helping struggling families refinance their homes or pay for the kids’ college education. It also means not directly engaging Romney for now because to do so would make Obama look more like a presidential candidate than the man running the country. But that has not stopped Obama from making notso-subtle digs at Romney this week for his views on the auto industry bailout and home foreclosures. “It is wrong for anybody to suggest that the only option for struggling, responsible homeowners is to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom,” Obama said in Falls Church, Va., on Wednesday in a clear reference to comments Romney made to a Las Vegas newspaper last year. Romney’s negative ratings have climbed in recent weeks. Polling by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal showed that 36 percent had a negative feeling toward Romney, compared with 31 percent having positive feelings for him. A separate poll by ABC News and The Washington Post found 49 percent had a negative impression of Romney, a jump of nearly 20 points since September. Democrats point to a growing storyline about Romney’s work as a top executive for Bain Capital, a private equity firm, and soft support among ardent conservatives. Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter noted in a memo Wednesday that a recent Pew Research poll found nearly 3 in 5 GOP primary voters wanted another candidate to enter the race. “You’ve got a lot of Republicans who are disenchanted with the ‘supposed’ nominee in Mitt Romney,” said Morgan Jackson, a North Carolina-based Democratic strategist. “As somebody who worked for John Kerry in 2004, we’ve seen this on our side. There were a lot of folks who liked John Kerry and voted for John Kerry but really wanted to be with somebody else.” Romney, addressing supporters in Tampa, Fla., dismissed suggestions that a lengthy primary fight would hurt his party’s chances in the fall. “A competitive primary does not divide us, it prepares us, and we will win,” he said.

COLUMBUS (AP)— Ohio lawmakers who want public schools to wait until after Labor Day to start classes say the state’s tourism industry loses business when kids go back to school too early. State Rep. Bill Hayes, a co-sponsor of the proposed legislation, says one reason for the bill was to see if having schools open would help tourism, which he says is the state’s thirdbiggest industry, The Columbus Dispatch reported. By extending the summer vacation season, the tourism and recreation industry can “thrive and generate revenue for the economy that’s suffering so terribly in the state,” according to Hayes. That would also generate state revenue, part of which gets passed down to public schools, he said. Ohio school districts now set their own calendars, with many starting in middle or late August. The same bill also would determine the length of the school year based on the number of hours students are in class, not the number of days. Under current Ohio law schools must be open 182 days. That number, Hayes said, includes days when classes are not in session, such as teacher conference days. Representatives of the Ohio School Boards Association and the Ohio Association of School Business Officials were among those testifying against the bill Wednesday before the House Education Committee. “If the goal is for our students to be better equipped to compete in a global economy, placing restrictions on when districts can conduct school is not the answer,” said Damon Asbury, director of legislative services for the school boards association. The bill would require secondary-school students to be in class a minimum of 1,001 hours during the school year, with fewer hours for younger students. Marc Schare, a member of the Worthington school board in suburban Columbus, testified that the legislation is “essentially allowing us to shave five full weeks off the school year” and could reduce the quality of education. The Worthington board approved a resolution asking the General Assembly and Gov. John Kasich to reject or veto the legislation.

Judge allows ‘Sister Wives’ suit to proceed SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal judge has ruled there’s sufficient evidence to allow a polygamous family made famous by a reality TV show to pursue a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Utah’s bigamy law. U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups on Friday dismissed Utah’s governor and attorney general from the case, but allowed the suit to proceed against Utah County Attorney Jeffrey Buhman, the Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune report. Buhman threatened to prosecute Kody Brown and his four wives — Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn — after the TLC show “Sister Wives” debuted in September 2010, but his office has not filed charges. The family sued Buhman, Gov. Gary Herbert and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff in July

ciation. Waddoups, in his 21-page ruling, wrote that he dismissed Herbert and Shurtleff from the case because Shurtleff assured the Browns that they wouldn’t be prosecuted. Shurtleff has a policy of not prosecuting consenting adult polygamists as long as they’re not committing other crimes.

large, or to assure the public that they intended to carry out their public obligations and prosecute violations of the law,” Waddoups wrote. There’s reason for the Browns to believe they could face prosecution in Utah County, the judge continued, and that could have a “chilling effect” on their ability to practice their First Amendment rights in the state. But the Browns must show that there’s a real and viable threat to their constitutional rights for the lawsuit to hold up in court, Waddoups wrote. Brown moved his wives and 16 children from Lehi to the Las Vegas area in January 2011. Buhman said he had not yet reviewed the ruling and was not prepared to comment.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 30 years old and have a close relationship with my mother, but something is bothering me. When I was a little girl, my grandmother gave me a U.S. savings bond for my birthday. It has matured to its full value. My mother refuses to give it to me. She said that my grandmother intended it as a wedding gift. The last time I brought it up, she got teary and emotional. When my grandmother died 18 years ago, it was tremendously painful for my mother. I think the reason Mom won’t give me the money is it makes her feel like her mom is still around. By letting go of the bond, she would be letting go of one more piece of my grandmother. I also think it makes her sad to picture her mom not being there at my wedding. Despite all this, I can’t help but feel she’s using this to have some control over me. I’m studying for my master’s degree in special education, and some extra money would be helpful at the moment. I don’t plan on marrying anyone anytime soon. I feel sad and angry. Does my mother have the right to withhold the bond and decide how and when I can use the money? Should I drop the issue and let her choose when to give it to me? Please help, I need your advice. — 30-YEAR-OLD CHILD

Advice know, tactfully, that the smell is revolting? Besides the irritation and rudeness of chewing/popping with one’s mouth open, certain smells often affect me physically. From a young age, I have suffered from migraine headaches, which can bring on temporary loss of vision and vomiting. The scent of certain mints — like spearmint — triggers migraines. My doctor has warned me to avoid these triggers. However, in a confined area like an airplane, or sandwiched between two chewers at a concert, it’s impossible. I become violently ill from the smell. I have tried politely explaining my situation, but the chewer is often indifferent, indignant or unsympathetic. Abby, I’m at a loss. My husband and I often leave concerts we were looking forward to because of this problem. What can one do or say in a situation when sitting for hours in an assigned seat next to a gum chewer? — HURTING IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.
DEAR HURTING: In a theater, the first thing you should do is explain the problem to the gum chewer just as you did to me. Say that the smell of certain mints triggers migraines that sometimes result in spontaneous vomiting, and ask if the person can dispose of the gum before you become ill. If the person refuses, ask an usher to seat you elsewhere. When you’re on an airplane and trapped in similar circumstances, get up and ask a flight attendant to locate a seat for you that’s far enough away so you won’t be affected. In DEAR ABBY: How most instances, you will be does one let a gum chewer accommodated.
DEAR “CHILD”: Your grandmother gave you the savings bond as a BIRTHDAY gift. When you became an adult, it should have been given to you then. You’re a big girl now, and whether you decide to marry or not it should be yours to do with as you wish. It’s time to hand your mother a large box of tissues and have a heart-toheart talk with her about that savings bond. Don’t let her off the hook, and don’t be surprised if she finally admits she spent the money.

This deal was played in the 1965 world championship match between the United States and Great Britain. Ivan Erdos was South for the U.S. and got to six hearts as shown. West led the jack of clubs. It would seem that the best way to try to avoid two spade losers is to attempt a diamond finesse. If it succeeds, one of your two spade losers will disappear. But Erdos, in a truly remarkable performance, made the slam even though East had the king of diamonds. He won the club lead with the king, played two rounds of trumps, cashed the A-Q of clubs and ruffed a club. Erdos learned from these plays that East had started with precisely two clubs and two hearts. East was therefore much more likely to have the king of diamonds among his nine unknown cards than West, who had only six unknown cards. Accordingly, after leading a low spade from dummy to his

Spaghetti dinner to raise funds for Wilson Hospice
HEATHER CANAN/FOR THE DAILY CALL
The Bradford High School cheerleaders recently held a cheerleading clinic for any elementary student who wanted to sign up.That same evening the students showed off their new skills at half time of the varsity boys basketball game.
New members inducted into Bradford Hall of Fame Congratulations goes out to this year’s Bradford Railroader Hall of Fame Inductees: Jim Hart, Terry Miller, Jodi Petty and Brian Lavey.

I was lucky enough to watch this year’s ceremony. Each person inducted gave a great speech
HEATHER CANAN Columnist thanking those who stood beside them on there days walking the halls of Bradford High School. I enjoyed listening to their words and how each of these four really made a point to suggest every one give back to our great little community. It was one of those moments that made me proud to live here. My visit to the gymnasium was two-fold. Earlier Saturday morning, my 6year-old girls were signed up for their first cheerleading clinic offered by our high school cheerleaders. I was informed by Alani, my daughter, that this was the greatest day of her life. (It even topped her day of rollerskating on Dec. 31.) After three hours of learning cheers and a dance routine we were able to see a preview of that evening’s performance. I was so impressed by my girls. But I was even more impressed by our high school cheerleaders. I know how much patience it takes to keep the attention of a couple little
girls, but to keep the attention of the group they had was just awesome. The group was to perform again Saturday night at halftime of the varsity basketball game. It was just as fun watching them the second time as it was the first. Thank you so much to the cheerleading advisers Ashley Floyd and Laci and cheerleaders for doing such a wonderful job. And while I am bragging about all these great people. I just wanted to tell Don Selanders how awesome he is. He puts a lot of hard work and time into capturing these great moments in Bradford.

Barhorst said Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes at Newport is among several large donors for the event. Wilson Hospice celebrated its 24th anniversary in 2010. Its programs bring quality of life and compassionate care to people facing life-limiting illness or injury.

Some former Komen supporters can't forgive, forget Race for the Cure event, she would offer to give money instead to the American Cancer Society. Also switching allegiance was Suzanne Strempek Shea, a novelist and college writing teacher in Northampton, Mass. “If someone asks me to sponsor them,” she said,“I’m going to say, ‘I wish you well, but I’m going to give the amount I’d have given you to Rays of Hope,” another breast cancer support group. The issue was particularly painful to Shea, 51. She is a breast cancer survivor who discovered early warning signs at a Planned Parenthood breast screening (the group does screenings and refers some patients for mammograms). “They found the cysts that led to the diagnosis. I don’t think people realize all the good they do,” Shea said. Horrified that a crucial women’s health issue had become entwined with the abortion debate, she said that despite the reversal, “I’m still angry.” Even angrier about the reversal were anti-abortion advocates who’d applauded Komen’s original move. “We were very happy to see (Komen) discontinue funding to Planned Parenthood,” said Tony Lauinger, state chairman for Oklahomans For Life.“For an entity ... that’s trying to prevent breast cancer across
the world, it’s directly counterproductive that the organization would be giving funds to Planned Parenthood, which is the largest provider of abortions in the country.” Scheidler, of the Pro-Life Action League, sent out emails and social media messages Friday aimed at “tens of thousands” of abortion foes, urging them to withhold donations to Komen. Days earlier, when the original decision was reported, he’d urged people to donate to Komen. Renee Wiesner, a mother of nine who opposes abortion, said she had been encouraged by Komen’s original decision. “I had known about the grants, and that’s why I had avoided supporting Komen in the past,” said Wiesner, of Aurora, Ill. Now, she said, she will wait for the furor to die down before deciding where to contribute. She said she suspected the reversal was simply a PR move by Komen: “They need to keep a good public image if they want to be as successful as they’ve been.” Not everyone was beating up on Komen. “They made a bad call, but they rethought their position,” said Katie Ferdinand, 46, of Basking Ridge, N.J. “I’d consider supporting them going forward.” Before the reversal, Ferdinand had gone on Facebook

and urged friends to join her in contributing to Planned Parenthood. The organization said it received $3 million between Tuesday evening and Friday afternoon, funds it said would be used to expand its breast health services, which now provide nearly 750,000 breast exams each year. made That Planned Parenthood supporter Cindy Froggatt happy. “I am grateful to Komen for the unintended of consequence their misguided decision,” said Froggatt, of Philadelphia. She especially admired the actions of New York Mayor M i c h a e l Bloomberg, who himself made a $250,000 gift. The controversy was rawest, it seemed, for breast cancer survivors, especially those, like Joyce Miller, who’d donated many hours of time to Komen. After her first breast cancer treatment, Miller spent an hour a day manKomen’s ning phone lines, for nearly two years.
“I do not forgive them,” the 70-year-old Dallas woman said Friday, after the reversal. She said she was also thinking of her daughter, Twinney, the Michigan woman, who spent years on the breast cancer walks. “Those bloody feet,” Miller said. “The aching back!”

NEW YORK (AP) — When Dorothy Twinney first saw a Race for the Cure walk for breast cancer — “a sea of pink” traveling through her hometown of Plymouth, Mich. — she was so moved she sat in her car and wept. This week, after watching The Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity announce plans to cut funding to Planned Parenthood, then abandon those plans amid a public furor,Twinney decided she was done with the organization for which she raised thousands of dollars on three-day, 60-mile walks that left her feet bloodied and blistered, but her spirits high. “It just feels like it’s all tarnished now,” the 41-yearold mother of two said. “Honestly, I’m not sure what they can do to change that.” At week’s end, many longtime Komen supporters were feeling similarly conflicted. Some, depending on where they stood on the hotbutton issue of abortion, called it more of a betrayal. Those who supported Komen’s grants to Planned Parenthood for breast-cancer screenings called the initial move to cut them politically motivated; those opposed to the grants said the same thing about the reversal. The outrage clearly stunned Komen, the country’s most widely known breast cancer organization. “I think (Komen) has been horrified to be so caught up in this culture war,” said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Chicago-based ProLife Action League. Many women described feeling caught in the middle when The Associated Press first reported on Tuesday that Komen had adopted
criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from future breast screening grants because it was the subject of an investigation launched by a Florida congressman at the urging of anti-abortion groups. The grants totaled $680,000 in 2011. Alyce Lee-Walker was one of them. A longtime Komen supporter, she’d never given money to Planned Parenthood. But when she learned of the funding cut, she immediately went online to donate $188 — the 88 signifying good luck in Chinese. She didn’t stop there. The small business owner from Pinehurst, N.C., went about removing all the pink-ribbon stickers, a Komen symbol, that she’d affixed to her belongings. “I took them off my personal car, the business car, off the doors in the office,” she said. And that pink chef’s knife she bought at with Williams-Sonoma, some of the proceeds going to Komen? “I’m done with that, too,” she said. When she worked on Wall Street, Lee-Walker once prowled the trading floor soliciting donations “from anyone who loved a sister, mother, wife — or who was a fan of breasts,” she quips. She raised $15,000. But now, Komen’s reversal as well as its original move left her disgusted, she said: “It’s all political.” Many shared that skepticism. “I’m wondering, is this really what they believe now, or is it just all the bad press that made them do it?” asked Mary Gauvin, a 27year-old mother from Fort Drum, N.Y. “I doubt their motivation a bit.” Gauvin, a supporter in the past of both Planned Parenthood and Komen, said that now, if a friend asked for sponsorship in a

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think Israel has decided whether to attack Iran over its disputed nuclear program, a standoff that has the Middle East on edge. The president sought to assure allies and foes alike that the United States was working in lockstep with Israel to solve the crisis, “hopefully diplomatically.” Obama’s comments came as Israel’s major allies in the West are working hard to talk it out of a unilateral military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, arguing forcefully that an attack ultimately would only strengthen the regime in Tehran. Israel fears that Iran is fast approaching a point at which a limited military strike would no longer be enough to head off an Iranian bomb. “I don’t think that Israel has made a decision on what they need to do,” Obama said during a preSuper Bowl interview with NBC. He reiterated that the United States has removed no option from consideration in dealing with Iran — an allusion to military intervention — but emphasized that the United States wants a diplomatic solution built around a world coalition. Iran insists its nuclear pursuits are for peaceful civilian purposes, not a bomb.

Fire captain has dual passions Fornell loves firefighting, photography BY KATHY ORDING Ohio Community Media kording@tdnpublishing.com CASSTOWN — It would be understandable if Dave Fornell sometimes gets his hats confused. His passions for photography and firefighting often have intersected in his life, but maybe not any more so than now. Fornell, a captain on the Casstown Volunteer Fire Department, often is seen at local fire scenes snapping photographs — fires he’s responded to as a member of the Casstown crew, or other scenes he visits just to shoot photos. He sometimes shares his work for publication in the Troy Daily News. He got his start in the news business as a teenager with a camera in suburban Chicago who liked to shoot fire photos. “In those days you couldn’t join (the fire department) until you were 21,” Fornell said. “So here I was in high school and I started taking picture of fires. I couldn’t fight them, so I took pictures of them.” It was just a portent of a career where the edges of his twin passions often have blurred. In 1964 he joined the Air Force, where he wanted to be a firefighter or photographer. “Of course, in their infinite wisdom, they made me an ejection seat mechanic,” Fornell said with a touch of humor. After progressing a bit in that career field, Fornell said, he ended up cross training into photography and completed his stint in

He also continues to do fire training around the country, and that’s one reason a camera still is never far from his hands. “When I get to a fire scene, obviously the fire department comes first,” Fornell said. “But I have a small camera in the car, so if I get a chance, I’ll go ahead and try to shoot something.” “A lot of times I try to shoot for training, because I do a lot of training around the country. A lot of these pictures will end up in training books,” said Fornell, who blogs about firefighting for www.firehouse.com. He also keeps a hand in photography as he shoots photographs for Toyne’s company brochures and calendars, and occasionally he still does free-lance assignments for UPI. He admits most of his photography these days is for practical purposes. “I really don’t go out to shoot pictures just to shoot pictures, unless there’s a use for it,” Fornell said. But it seems a bit of the news hound still lurks in him. “Would I like to do more? Yeah, it’d be kind of fun to cover a campaign, it’d be kind of fun to cover some stuff,” Fornell said.

HOROSCOPE Monday, Feb. 6, 2012 Although you are likely to be exposed to many substantial opportunities in the year ahead, you’ll pick and choose exactly which ones you want to pursue. In doing so, you might treat some promising situations more casually than you should. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be polite and listen to advice being given to you by someone who believes that he or she has the answers you’re looking for. There is a possibility this person knows more than you suppose. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You’re likely to be more comfortable issuing orders than following them, but if the latter be your fate, grin and bear it. It might work out quite well. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you find yourself facing a financial shortfall, you can probably blame it all on one recent foolish purchase. Let’s hope it’ll serve as a deterrent for you in the future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t push your thinking on unreceptive ears. Your views are likely to mean more to you than they will to your listeners, while their outlook will be what counts to them. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re in a dangerous head space at this time. You could lull yourself into a false sense of security by believing you’re in a stronger position than you actually are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be realistic and pragmatic about the resources you have at hand instead of depending on what you believe to be coming in. If the money isn’t in your pocket, it’s not a sure thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — The only folks you can expect to come through for you will be the little people in your life, not the big shots. Don’t embarrass yourself by making a request of the latter. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel you’ve been taken advantage of, the blame could actually fall on you, for making a commitment you shouldn’t have made in the first place. Learn from this experience. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t be taken in by a carrot dangling from the end of a stick. You should know that no one is likely to give you anything without you contributing the initial favor. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Keep in mind that optimism can be an asset, but wishful thinking does nothing. Make certain that unrealistic objectives aren’t a contributing factor to a downfall. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — When you set your mind to acquiring something, you can be an extremely industrious person. Take care you don’t spend more time discussing your intentions than fulfilling them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There is a strong possibility that you could be tempted by a tantalizing challenge in which the odds are tilted against you. Remember Don Quixote when he jousted with windmills. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

Facing tough competition Pummill, Young fifth at GWOC; Hogston sixth BY ROB KISER Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com
KETTERING — It wasn’t the kind of tournament Piqua wrestling coach Scott Kaye expected from his team at the GWOC wrestling tournament Friday and Saturday at Trent Arena in Kettering. But, his young wrestlers have been picking up valuable experience all season and Kaye hopes they will benefit from the GWOC experience as well after Piqua finished 13th overall and fourth in the GWOC North. “This is a tough tournament,” Kaye said. “And if you are not ready, this is what will happen. Hopefully, this will be a good wakeup-call for some of our guys.” The weekend was not without highlights as
Brandon Pummill controls Trotwood-Madison Anthony Grayson. Cody Young (138) and Brandon Pummill (182) finished fifth and Cody Hogston (195) finished sixth. While Pummill, the fourth seed, was hoping for a higher finish — he provided the highlight of the tournament for Piqua in his fifth-place match
with a 3-1 win over third seed Kevin McGraw of Troy. McGraw had pinned Pummill earlier this season in a match that was close most of the way before Pummill lost a scramble near the end. Pummill had advanced to the semifinals with a
default and a pin, before losing two matches to fall into the fifth-place match. And the first two periods were very similar to the first meeting, with McGraw escaping in the second period. This time, Pummill esSee GWOC/Page 17

After losing by Sidney to 18 the first time and starting at a double-digit deficit in the early going, it didn’t look good for the Piqua girls basketball team Saturday at Garbry Gymnasium in the first of three straight home games to finish the regular season. But, the Lady Indians stepped things up defensively, calmed down on offense and four straight free throws by Tasha Potts in the final 40 seconds finished off a 52-46 victory in GWOC North action. “You really can’t single out one girl,” Piqua coach Rory Hoke said. “They all did a great job and made big plays for us.

Giants edge New England New York wins Super Bowl XLVI INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Eli Manning and the Giants one-upped Tom Brady and the Patriots again, coming back with a last-minute score to beat New England 21-17 Sunday night for New York's fourth Super Bowl title. It was a rematch of the 2008 NFL championship, when Manning led New York past New England to ruin the Patriots' bid for a perfect season. This was the first Super Bowl with two starting quarterbacks who previously won the big game's MVP award — and they took turns being brilliant.
CINCINNATI – The University of Dayton jumped out to a big lead on Xavier and then held on for the 74-65 Atlantic 10 victory Sunday at the Cintas Center in front of 1,664 fans on the ESPNU nationally-televised game. Sophomore Cassie Sant paced the Flyers (15-5, 71 A-10) with 16 points and six rebounds in 17 minutes of action. Junior Sam MacKay had 12 points, and senior Elle Queen put up 10 points to go along with a career-high five steals. Senior Justine Raterman and freshman And r e a Hoover had nine points and eight rebounds each. RATERMAN Dayton had just 11 turnovers, its second lowest total of the season, while forcing 22 Musketeers mistakes. UD capitalized and outscored Xavier 25-8 off turnovers. The Flyers also outscored X on the fastbreak, 14-2, and UD’s bench outscored Xavier’s 38-11. Senior Casey Nance set the tone, defensively, for the Flyers with back-toback blocks on Xavier’s first possession. UD jumped out to a 9-0 lead to start the game and held the Musketeers without a field goal until the 12:15 mark. The Flyers went up by as much as 20 in the first half after a triple by MacKay to push the score to 35-15 with 5:20 to play in the half. A Nance jumper with 13 seconds left in the half gave Dayton a 43-26 advantage at the break. The Flyer lead grew as big as 23 after a Sant jumper made the score 5532 with 15:01 remaining in the game. UD still held a 68-54 lead with 5:19 to play.

GWOC Continued from page 15 title match. Young had a pin and a decision in consolation matches Saturday to guarantee himself of placing. After being pinned by fourth seed Kyle Kramer of Beavercreek, he won his fifth-place match over second seed Ryan Huffman of Fairmont by medical injury forfeit. “Cody (Young) has an injury he is trying to wrestle through,” Kaye said. “That was a great effort for him to be able to battle through that and place.” Hogston was also seeded fourth and recorded two pins to advance to the semifinals. After losing by tech. fall to eventual champion Garrett Conner of Centerville, he dropped a conso match to move into a fifthplace match against Jacob
Lochard of Sidney and lost a 9-4 decision. “Cody (Hogston) just aggressive wasn’t enough,” Kaye said. “He didn’t wrestle the way he can.” It was a tough weekend of the rest of the Indians.

Christy Graves collides with a Sidney player going for a loose ball.
Piqua Continued from page 15 points in th first 2:33 of the game and Konner Harris buried two threes to give the Jackets an 18-7 lead late in the first quarter. “We didn’t get through the screens to Harris,” Hoke said. “Needless to say, I wasn’t happy with our defense in the early going. But, the kids stepped it up after that.” The momentum seemed to swing when Macy Yount hit her second three from the corner with 3:21 remaining in the first half to get Piqua within 22-14 and force a Sidney timeout. Hannah Mowery quickly followed with a three and a two and by halftime, the Lady Indians trailed just 27-23, despite 19 turnovers. “Those were big shots by Macy (Yount) and Hannah (Mowery),” Hoke said. “That really seemed to spark us. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half. The kids were just so fired up and we just needed to settle down. We did a much better job in the second half.” Piqua tied the game early in the second half on a Shelby Vogler putback, before a Maddie Hilleary free throw gave the Lady Indians their first lead at 28-27. “We were having some trouble with offensive rebounds,” Hoke said. “But, Imari Witten is the smallest girl out there and she grabs five or six big rebounds for us. Shelby
Hannah Mowery shoots the ball Saturday. (Vogler) had some big rebounds.” The lead changed hands several times, before two straight baskets by Christy Graves put Piqua in front 40-36 in the first minute of the fourth quarter. “Christy (Graves) hit a couple big shots for us in the fourth quarter,” Hoke said. Sidney stayed within striking distance the rest of the way, closing within one twice. “Maddie Hilleary and Kelsey Deal had some big baskets for us all game,” Hoke said. “Our seniors
did a great job providing leadership.” Deal had two big baskets down the stretch and Vogler hit two of four free throws to keep Piqua in front 48-45. After Lindsey Sturwold hit one of two free throws with 43 seconds to go to get Sidney within 48-46, Potts was cool as ice, hitting four straight free throws to seal the win. “Shelby (Vogler) hit a couple free throws,” Hoke said. “And how about a freshman (Tasha Potts) stepping up and hitting See PIQUA/Page 18

escaped 30 seconds into the third period to tie it 11 and neither wrestler could score, forcing overtime. It didn’t take Pummill long in the overtime, getting a takedown midway through the one-minute extra period to end the match. “That was a big win for Brandon (Pummill),” Kaye said. “The kid had beaten him the second week of the season. It was just a matter of Brandon being aggressive and not holding back — which is something he still fights.” Young turned in a gutsy effort for his fifth-place finish. The sixth-seed opened the tournament with a pin, before being pinned by third seed Kendall Newell of Vandalia-Butler, who would advance to the
